Straightish

I'm very suspicious of people who say that they are "very straight forward". It puts me right on guard and my ears stand up like an alsatian's. When the subject is uttering "I.....am......straight....forward", I hear "Action stations ! Torpedo Torpedo Torpedo!". For me it would appear like a desperate canvassing attempt, which is wholly unnecessary, unless you have been knitting something in your mind. I dont remember saying that I'm straight forward, to anyone. It is for the simple reason that I am NOT straight forward. Of course, I can say it here 'cos this is MY blog and no one's going to read it. For sure. (I do keep a few people updated with everything in my life. Its a result of time spent together. When you look around these people are never absent nor busy. I never had to fix an appointment with them).

However, it doesnt need to be all this serious always. I usually find "I am straight forward"ness to be directly related to a complex of some sort. Thankfully, that can definitely be accomodated. Complexes are not new to any of us. We have had them at one point of our lives or the other. If today, we are out of it, then half of the thanks goes to the people around us. They have been great.

P.S: Patrons are requested NOT to assume straight-forwardness to be the same as Honesty.

and then...

If anyone accidently read the post below there is a chance (p value=< 0.0001) that they would have asked themselves why then most humans are different from potatoes. These days biologists are a lot like software engineers(eg. the guys who did Windows Media center edition). Both are relentless in their pursuit of answers to questions no one ever asked.
So, the idiot version is:
The genes in humans are very diverse in their action. They give rise to more number of proteins than the average potato. These proteins form complex machines like the brain and various organs rather than finger chips or wafers.
