Intellectual Orgasm!!!

The familiar teasing topic in a college or any co-education institution is, as to how two people talk and talk and keep talking, which people term "kadalai" (meaning ground nuts) in Chennai parlance. The time changes, lanes change, subject changes, chair changes, latitudes change and even the sun changes position. Everything in the background and foreground changes, but there in no stopping to them.

Now many questions arise to the observers;

  • Where do these people get such endless topics to talk?
  • How do people get immune to the external system?
  • Most important of all, what do this people eat and drink to have such abnormal energy levels?


Not only here, I have observed it in myriad things.

There is a friend of mine who eats, drinks and sleeps with books. He is so obsessed with books that he does not even need a female companion to meet his "kadalai" needs. I asked him as to how he can do this endlessly.He had a astounding reply "Nothing like the intellectual stimuli when you try to understand or have undergone the process of understanding something".Thats when I coined this word "Intellectual Orgasm" .I named it so because its more of the brain which does the understanding although it all begins with the senses.Thats why I always claimed that the brain is the sexiest organ in a human!!

May be that is what people frying kadalai experience, they endless seek to understand the various dimensions of the other person. Now I can empathize with Archimedes who jumped naked out of his bath tube when he understood buoyancy. Could be, that is why, there is so much relish when we hear or hum a song which sinks with us, a theist wants to be filled with god. When we understand something completely, it takes us to the peak of joy, the distinction between the observer and observed ceases to exist.

One thing, it captivates to be an observer, the observed and neither of them as long as we seek to understand them.

Chandru.. I need to first let you know the estimology of "Kadalai".Have you seen hawkers who sell "kadalai"..they keep clinging in the pan without any kadalai in it.The purpose is to create attention and not to fry kadalai's.Kadalai in college is like that..we do not strive to achieve any end but merely the process is interesting!!!

machi kadalai is a journey... more kadali leads to still more kadalai only... but unakku naan sollanumnu illai.. unnoda kadali engalukkum theriyum... enna naaga variety ana kadalai try panninom.. nee ore kadalai karugara varaikkum varuthe .. thats all the difference was.. wat say?
