CURIOSITY TO CUBIOSITY


I dumped my bag aside, performed few rituals i.e. checking mails, responding a few, some follow-ups ,and now started looking around ,after few Hi ! Hello!! and artificial smiles I visited neighboring Cubicle to discuss some unplanned yet serious discussion, with detailed analysis we Quibbled each and every aspect of that unplanned topic and then departed with an unsaid promise to discuss something else next time, I wonder sometime which kind of waves are these ?? waves that come in coherence simultaneously and make few spectrum of thoughts, Darwin (or someone ) says this is 'Adaptability'(...some keywords are floating around my mind like a ring 'existence' ' fittest' 'survival' 'theory') in random order ...whatever...so what kind of curiosity is this , to know the unknown, to discuss the unplanned, to conclude The Undecided, Curiosity between the Cubicles!! ...Wait a minute...better word...CUBIO-SITY!!

…so Darwin(or someone) meant to say socializing is in human nature, gossips are like Prohibited things (drink, smoke, too much spicy food, and banned movies ) more you suppress more you'll urge to experiment, When Cubicles were not there , there used to be chairs and tables, you had little to show-off and The-few was anyway exposed, Lunch boxes used to be identical and shared, discussion at 'Paanwala Shop' with 'Cutting Tea' and smoker’s formula was : Puffs/head = (cigarette /no. of participants), topics used to be family, kids, holiday plans, and sometime trivial like servant or electricity...time changed , we became sophisticated but estranged, we started having many things to hide and few to share, shareable were gaudy in-fact more to show less to share, i.e. latest model of cell phone, one time offer to drop to nearest bus stop in one's newly purchased car, discussion about the pub where someone visited Yester-night and spent big bucks, Family, Kids, electricity , servant...c’mon everyone has it !

Competition!! Intense.., Brutal...Throat Cut, where's the place to face your neighbors? Or to show him/her your face, Cubicles were built physically around our pre-built preoccupations,

Darwin (or someone) smiled...”See!! I told you naa!!”

Now we walk with cubicles around us, with a restricted Cubio-Sity, each one has their personnel space, we're fixed on moveable plots, taking our spaces with us, formality is new etiquette lots of unwritten worldwide accepted rules, make us odd-man out if we don't follow them, better stay in your cubicle, Migrated generation is living with this migraine, they're nostalgic but fascinated, know lots of customs but want to customize them, ambitious and amicable, revolutionary and adaptable, standing against odd but dithered to take any stand, I see gaudy costumes and dull faces in parties, 6 inch smile on Mute mode, laughter doesn't come out of cubicles,

Darwin (or someone) smiled...”See!! I told you naa!!”

Let sophistication be Art of Living, let Cubicles be around us, until Cubio-Sity meets a boundary-less curiosity ,let frustration rest in peace!!

Cubio-Sity is all about:

More to know less to share,

Less to watch more to stare,

More to utter less to discuss,

Less to Console more to Fuss,
