CLASSIFIED

By at


We all yearn for a sense of belonging, so that we could fit in snugly and cozily, in a world of rudimentary misfits.  And that’s where our search for something or someone meaningful starts. Our venture into the unexplored universe becomes an adventure, sooner or later, depending on our luck, fate and destiny. Sometimes, we seek the hidden meaning and at other times, the meaning tries to seek us. And we get lost in this maze of unending speculations and prolonged probabilities and clumsy conundrums. And we tend to label that maze as life simply because we can never define life.

We all love to be understood. We try to understand others to be loved. But all are not lucky as the selected few. Because people are “classified” on various types and indices. 

I have to bring in this quote by Carl Jung to drag this topic to where I want to.

This has become my latest obsession since few weeks and I can’t just let it go. After a serious of attempts to understand myself better through various aids, such as sun signs, horoscopes, vedic astrology, psychology, this recent tool seems to be a better bet. So I might cling on to this for some more time now.

Few days back I came across this free personality test by https://www.16personalities.com/ sent by a friend, who wanted to know my personality type. After running through 60 questions patiently, I found my type as INFJ-T ( ADVOCATE). I had no idea what the letters in INFJ stood for. I thought it was just another waste of the time questionnaire, meant purely for traffic and their business gimmicks. 

Later as I researched about these, I kept on reading my profile for pages in awe. It clicked so easily with me that I kept on sharing it to my friends to take this amazing test. 

Click here https://www.16personalities.com/articles/our-theory to know the framework on which this test is based on to classify the whole population into 16 personalities. 

In the 1920s, Carl Jung’s theory was noticed by Katharine Cook Briggs, who later co- authored one of the most popular personality indicators used today, the Myers- Briggs Type Indicator® (MBTI®). Using the below spectrum of types in various combinations, you end up in one of the 16 personalities. 





All the above pictures are screenshots from the same website. If you are intrigued enough, go in and explore for yourselves.

So the reason, I wanted to make a post out of this is simply because, I have never found an amazing personality test like this. I found it so true to the core. I don't know how they perfected this classification, so accurately. Reading it was like a revelation; A life changer; All my life, I have gone in search of a deeper meaning; in search of peace and harmony; And being classified as INFJ just justified my existence. No wonder, I have felt lonely and misunderstood behind this crust. As INFJs are the rarest of the 16 personalities constituting just 1% of the whole population, meeting a fellow INFJ could just turn out to be a miracle for some.

Sometimes, I have wondered, "if I watch myself from out of my body, I would be equally confused as you are!!" "then how could someone else not be puzzled??"
And this classification just proves everything is right. 

As children solving a mathematical problem, we always found an unknown joy in equating the left handed side to the right handed side. And we felt a little proud of ourselves too for our meagre achievement. This is exactly akin to that. There is bliss in uncovering the reason behind your crazy behaviors and weirdness; Because you don't have a compulsion to hide them underneath your mask, anymore. You can let it go and feel confident of yourselves. Its like liberating yourself.

Fly with me...

Will you follow my tail? Fly with me Take my wings free. I will take you somewhere, where there is nothing. No air to inhale, No water to quench, No body to be caged in, Nobody to envy, Nobody to hate, Everybody to love. But no way back, Yet you can traverse through the other route. Will you come? You will regret having spilt your blood here. Lets make it a memorable voyage! Falling down the Everest, Crawling through green meadows, Floating above misty clouds, Walking on transparent waters, Sleeping with minds closed, Lets derive joy from oddness. You know, the time, you were born, you didn't know, you were born. Likewise, you wouldn't know this too. Its a pleasure;Its an orgasm! Its a freedom from the bondage! How would immortals taste it? How would mortals know it? Poor world! Pathetic souls! Everything gain significance only after its loss. Its not the same with life, though the same with DEATH. Why do you fear to relish an elixir? Come, Lets invade the next Hell! P.S. I a

Just Hate This!

Today was not a good day at the college..after all when had it been good when there is a viva?? I hate them so much..Bcoz the reason is I am somewhat poor in practical things..And to know why I am poor in those, my attendance will solve the mystery.. I love studying for theory exams(I really mean it!!).. Basically I love working hard .. I just love those pre-exam days when I go on without a stop for more than 14 hrs a day.. Now in this pre final, we write three subjects viz. ENT, Ophthalmology, PSM(preventive & Social Medicine).. I will appear for those in January ,probably 23rd.. So I just hate these days with no real hard things to do .. I know there's a hell of things to be known yet I don't feel like grabbing them to my brain disk.. Yes I am feeling Lazy!! And coming back to today's exam, I had to record the case from the patient and present it before the professor..the case was recorded well(courtesy:case sheet and friends!!:D:D) and when it came to presenting ,

I was comfortably numb & dumb, But this atrocious crust made me succumb! How pure I was in that womb? Will my flesh decay in my tomb? The skin embossed with the spines in line, I knew , I am the porcupine! Of bleeding others , involuntarily, I feel heavy with cardiomegaly! Touching me , Why do you regret? Don't you know , its my reflex? How would you , poor mortal! Only HE knows the way I feel! The sun & the moon takes rest, but my eyes are spared from its zest! Dwelling under this blanket of gloom, now , it has become my doom! I am shutting down my heart! There's none around me unhurt! I don't wish to start to again! I would better end my lively pain! this post is to all the victims of the porcupine[thats me!];I have hurt almost everyone around me, please forgive me!! There's a hell of things pricking inside the porcupine.Trust me!! GOD SAVE ALL!!

Inebriated

Hanging by the watch's minute hand, we were exploring our own land; Too slowly crawled the clock, Our brains were fixed in a block; The state of steadiness measured in terms of pegs, we flew around with wings pinned to our legs; Out came the words from the inside, that crenelated the heart in vitro quite wide; From dumb to a chatter box, cowardice to courage, this OH-fluid made our neurones outrage; Our souls confessed our sins kneeling down, Yet our exterior dressed in the mask of a clown; We see an aureole around every face, bcoz the Inner God emerges out from the surface; We let ourselves ruled by the uninhibited subconscious, and slaughter our cruel inhibited conscious;

The Perfect SPLASH!

The sun was back deep under the ocean.It was now the turn of the moon.And the yellow monochrome light faded into dusky white and the shadows vanished into oblivion.The bright blue of the sea into dark black echoing the poorly inflamed orb. On the other side of the ocean were a couple of shadows crawling on the lonely shores.Of their shadows ,one was lengthier and the other a bit shorter.But the shadows of their souls were very much similar and seemed to merge inside each other. ZOOMING IN VIA GOOGLE EARTH... After a brief walk on the sand hardened by the galloping tears of the ocean, we turned back to see our own footprints fighting to triumph over the waves of time.I said, " we will last an eternity living in serenity" , the only time I used my tongue to converse ,that evening. She smiled at me and we held hands and walked towards the small table, interlocked. TRIIIINGGGGG....screeched something in my pocket.I took it out and switched it off. "Honey , what was that?&

Life in a Medico's Shoes

Prologue: What do you think of medicos??They are exceptional hard workers striving for more than 18 hrs a day and barely sleep the stipulated 6 hrs.Brilliant,bright,eminent,excellent etc..Is this what you think of medicos?? If yes, give a second thought and read the following with eyes wide open.If no, still you will have to read with eyes slightly open atleast the epilogue. Inside the four walls , there were some teenagers sitting in rows and columns deserting the anterior segments of the wooden furnitures. Most of them were staring into a black painted canvas where the eldest of the experienced campaigner was playing his magic with one hand with the brush and his cacophonous yet seducing voice from his habituated vocal cords. 1-Behind the empty front row of wood, some look as if being hypnotized by the spell of the professor. As calm as the wise, rock as the diamond , they stay unmoved, uninhibited even by the flies ,parked over their nose ,showering the millions of infectious path
