Me-t-1: I love Rajini movies. I whistle because it is fun and people around me are whistling too. Awesome thalaivar
Me-t0: How shameless this whole tamil movie industry is? Some oldie is running around the tree with girl.
Look at Hollywood, they are awesome, Reasonable.
Me-t+1: Hey what is not to like about Rajini movies? It is cult classic in the same mould as star wars. Why should
entertainment be intellectual? Hollywood is just a glorified Bollywood
This is just one of the thought processes. Almost every aspect of life my thoughts go through this cycle. Accepting something at one level and going to other end (or different view point) and swinging back to the old view point OR aligning with the old view point with different rationalization.
Another good example is cultural values (esp. Indian values). Treating Indian values as the greatest thing long back (and bashing "floating" American values) and standing by American individualistic values for a period of time and rethinking whether family ties (group) may be better for my way of life etc.
With every transition back to older (almost opposite) view point, even with proper rationalization, it feels like a hypo critic thing to do. But still I do it.
May be maturing is nothing but finding this multi layer nature of life!

Well these thoughts belong to most desis and almost everyone does this at some point.. So you are not alone (Its the festival time, that made you write this blog is it ?)
It is not related to Indian values only (that is just an example). This kind of cyclical nature of thought process is there in different aspect of life and I was just sharing it. (in Mindframes style but without "I don't know" at the end)
dei brainwaves, the post says that it was posted by saumya?!?
Nice thought...Circle of life... we are born...we learn everything to add to our maturity...and, we die...for what? to be reborn again? to re-learn everything again?
@ Brainwaves: As for me and Rajni movies...I always stay at T-0...never moved to T-1...but i agree with ur idea on the cycle...our thought processes are the ultimate random processes...values (hmm no comment)...
@ Mindframes: reborn? does it matter...we never realize if we are reborn and hence we do not know if learn/re learn everything...again a counterfactual problem..hehehe
Mindframes & Saumya@
I picked the wrong username and it auto filled password.
With my unique (insert your jokes here) style I am sure everyone knew who wrote it!
Now it makes sense.. I first thought, when has saumya ever said, she liked movies! (that too Rajini movies) hmm..
hee hee.....nice post brainwaves. Especially, the thought about us going back to our original thoughts with different rationalization was very true.

Good one brainwaves...My two cents..I think it is all a part of human nature . We are built for adapting , be it emotionally, physically or monetarily. So,we build rationalizations for our adaptation.
