Hello guys, this post are not related to
information security. It was an incident which happened yesterday to me. After
it got finished I deeply analyzed it. Yesterday I went to job. My job is to
take care 70 year old grandpa. Usually we got to 3 walk and come back. Then I
serve them his dinner and I leave the house.
Yesterday I reached at home around 4.45 pm in
noon. I put bag near the artificial kitchen of little girl. She used to play
and cook in her kitchen. Baby is 2 year old. That little girl has 2 elder brothers
having age of 4 year old and 3 year old. These 3 children are very naughty.
Baby is cute and very clever. Boys are funny, naught and lazy. Usually after
coming from home they do not keep their stuff at their proper place. One of the
elder brother's school bag is 90% identical to my college bag. Now what
happened is at that day I left my bag at that toy kitchen. Boys use to remove
their bags, shoes over there after coming home from the school.
Then I went with grandpa for a walk. We had a 3
kilometer walk and both we together burned 1500 kilo calorie. After I came to
home and we went to upstairs. I finished my remaining work (serving grandpa,
make him wear night dress etc...). When I came downstairs and went to that
kitchen my bag was not there. :o. (Mind state - Frustrated, Shock, In Anger).
I asked granny that where is my bag. She replied,
“I just woke up and no one came to home." I started asking question like I
am a CID officer. My first question: Have you seen that which color of my bag is?
She replied, "Yeah I know it’s black". 2nd Question: You know me every
day put it here and collect it from here. She replied, “Yes, I know beta...”
(She used word beta {Beta word is used to => my mind's analysis : she
is trying to make me calm(where I was not in anger though, But my curiosity of
finding bag turned me into an investigation officer => This is the reason she’s
trying to make me c3=Cool+Calm+Collected ). Afterwards I went upstairs to
search my bag (which I had already put downstairs). After some time granny told
me that my sister in law and her two sons (that little girl's brothers) went to
their KARATE classes. (Believe me their sir gave these 3 and 4 year child red
belt in Karate):D. I immediately called aunty and she was on the way to home
only. Though while driving she confirmed that there is no any black bag in her
car taken by her or by mistakenly her sons. I sit down somewhere and just
waiting for aunty to come home so she can find it in each and every corner of
house. Meanwhile granny told me that, “Will you please check behind the sofa,
because their grandsons use to throw their stuffs over there.” I was very
curious and run away to sofa (Mind state phase One 50% Thinking = this is the
last hope, Mind state Phase two 50% Thinking = GOD!! please help me, Facial
Expression – Like a really poor person, begging to god for food.) I went there
and I got my bag.
Well, this is the phase where actually my aim of
writing this story gets start. The reason and the meaning of the title named 3 states
of mind starts here. So moving forward I took my bag and went to the bus stop.
Luckily & unfortunately my bus was 17 minutes late. I took a sit and
started waiting for the bus. Lucky, because I got a time to revise this entire
thing and that is why you are watching this story on my blog. Unfortunately,
because I was actually waiting for bus and which is a tedious thing. I recalled
that entire thing in 17 minutes and came to know very interesting thing about
mind, the various states of mind. I am sure you guys haven’t read of noticed
what I am going to describe now. Yes it may vary from case to case, situation
to situation but the core aspects of these states will be same I guess. I might
be wrong or might be right.
The primary reason of being curious to find my
bag is my wallet. Unfortunately I kept my wallet in the bag on that day only.
What was there in my wallet?
1. My
university ID card
2. My
Bank Credit card
3. My
Bank Debit card
4. Foreign
Money exchange service card
5. Traveling
card
6. National Traveling card
7. Some
sort of cash
Now the thing is that these states of mind which
I am going to describe you is for only those cases where your those things gets
disappear/stolen/misplaced without which you cannot survive a bit. So moving
forward there I analyzed the whole scenario and came to know that when your
very very crucial things get stolen/disappear/misplaced mind creates it’s 3
different states within itself. Those 3 states are mentioned as below:
State 1 –
NFS GAME - Game over State: As I told you that mind creates 3 states so
each states occupy 33.33% of whole mind. Now in this 1st state of
mind what happens? Here you mind acts like NFS game. After you get loose your
game in NFS you recall the race and you try to find out where I was stuck in
whole track? After you found that you made conclusion with reason that I was
stuck here for some sort of seconds/minutes that is why I lost the match. While
recalling whole race, you see every checkpoint in your mind that yes I
completed first check point without getting stuck, ok I completed 2nd
as well without getting stuck and I stuck at 3rd checkpoint. These
NFS game scenario works exactly same in real life scenario too. As soon as you
lost your things your mind start recalling all the scenes/places/areas from
where you have started journey. I started my part from home saying myself that,
“Yes I took my bag from home. (1st checkpoint confirmed). Then I went
to train station I entered into train made my journey and left the destination
train station. Meanwhile I was having bag with me. (2nd checkpoint confirmed).
This is your first state of mind where you go into the past and recall all that
things happened to you, places where have you been etc...
State 2 – Impact
of the happening: This is a second state which also occupies 33.33% of
whole mind. In this state you start wondering the impact of what happened to
you. In my case I started wondering worst scenarios as follows:
·
I lost my university identity card, how will I
enter to university?
·
I lost my bank credit/debit card, how will I do
transaction?
·
I lost my travelling card, how will I go to home
from here now?
·
I do not have cash here right now, how will I go
to home now?
·
Whom should I call for help?
·
Who are near to me and May able to come for
help?
Etc...
So this is the 2nd state of mind in
which you start shooting questions to your mind. REMEMBER STATE 1 IS ALSO HAPPENING SIMULTANEOUSLY WITH THIS STATE 2.
State 3 – Exploring
Solutions: In this state of mind you try to find out the solution. When
brain is shooting a ton of questions to you, you make yourself first calm and
you tell your brain to think and act carefully and slowly. Then you slowly
start exploring solution for that question. In my case I started in this
methodology. I thought first to borrow some money from that family and to reach
my home first. Then I made a plan. First I thought to call immediate service of
bank and to stop my all cards so that my money doesn’t go out anywhere else by someone
(which I was assuming the worst case scenario). Then only thing in night can I do
is to call my university and to fix appointment for the solution of lost
identity card. Then I assumed previous night that, my meeting will be in the
bank next day so before going to university I will go to bank and will do the
procedure for getting new cards. Etc... So thus how I made my plan. And again
also remember that STATE 3 IS ALSO
HAPPENING ALONG WITH STATE 1 AND STATE 2.
When I was making this plan while sitting in the
house and waiting for the aunty to come, Granny told me to see my bag if it is
there behind the sofa or not. Hopefully it was there and I got it. Writing this
article is to make you understand how your brain is Powerful and complex. It
acts as a 3 core i7 high speed processors at a time. Imagine I just wrote these
3 states in text, then how actually it would be in real world.
