Humor and Subconscious mind and Saina Nehwal and all that

Last tuesday i received a call from an unknown number, "is it vishal?" having not paid the bill of the last post paid connection i had, like a normal poor guy i replied "no", he says again "is it vishal, i m standing on gate 3 and have a courier for u, could you please come here" , relieved and amazed( i was expecting a parcel atleast 3 days later as it was sent just yesterday from new delhi) i said ya coming and went on gate 3. Observing that the guy was not too pleased with me denying to be vishal i tried to make things better with help of humor.
" Kya bhaiya aajkal courier bahot jaldi aane laga hai, kal hi to chala tha dilli se" expecting a smile of accomplishment what i got was this " lo kar lo baat! der se aaye to dikkat jaldi aaye to bhi dikkat, aakhir hum log kare kya?!"

So the humor thing dint work well, happens, and lost of times. How important is humor in your life? Well its pretty important for me. Being in the world for quite some time now what i have come to know is some people just can't appreciate humor, irrespective of anything. And its not something like your grades which you can change at your will, they just can't accept it!

Humour is the tendency of particular cognitive experiences to provoke laughter and provide amusement, this is what wikipedia says, i tell you its lot more than that. but the major part is played by you, because it just tends to evoke laughter, it's you who has to let it. Tellingly every instance of humor has a hint of absurdity and incongruity, that's the whole idea behind humor, what i wannu say is, if Dhoni had said that he gets encircled by fans on every circle in chennai when the traffic light goes red, you would not have laughed, exceptions being Siddhu, but what he said was "i get caught on every red light area"!! noticed the
absurdity in the statement? well that's what evokes laughter, and if it did not to you, you were the one i was talking about a bit earlier ( people who are just too numb to appreciate humor).
too sleepy now, ll crap later, bubye.
