ABOUT THE TOPIC:

Seriousness is nothing but paying
undue importance to something, at
the cost of everything else.
Seriousness is the result of over-
expectation from life. Seriousness
closes your mind to the openness
and freedom of life. It makes you
dull and dead. It curbs your thinking
and makes you stick to the familiar
patterns that you know all the time.
It makes you egoistic. Seriousness
kills creativity.
It destroys spontaneity.

GAME OF THE DAY:

BLIND LEADING THE BLIND

Everyone spreads out around
the room and faces north.
North can be real north or a
convenient wall or corner in
the room. Everyone except for
the caller is blindfolded. The
caller then calls out a direction,
like east and then everyone
turns and points in the
direction of east. The caller
goes around and taps the
shoulder of anyone not
pointing in the right direction.
They are out. The game
continues until there is only
one player left.
