Now, I'm increasingly interacting with another guy 'Z' - who shares the same first name.. Rationally there is no reason why I should be hesitant in interacting with him..but as some people say, intuition or gut-feeling is telling me to be extremely careful while dealing with 'Z' ... I'm just wondering .. have any of you been in such a situation ? Isn't it wonderful seeing the way our brain picks up patterns and interprets it..I mean, there is nothing else common between X,Y & Z except for the name.. But still the warning signals come from deep inside ... Got to see how it goes. :)

At first, it looked like it was some XYZ problem we had in Inorganic Chemistry in IIT-JEE.
yeah ... Ive had one really nasty incident with a certain P, now I steer clear of any one named that, not because I might get into trouble, but because the name reminds me of the person who created all that havoc!
bingo..been ther..gone thru the same..
btw a small request..can u archive ur posts..it such a pain to go till the end n click older posts...
its called bias dude :D
@deepak -- I remember :) .. Black colored chemical X reacts to give Y which is red colored..I loved those problems :)
@arpz -- mmm.. it seems i'm not alone.
@ursjina -- Glad to know that people do dig up and read my blog archives :)..Moved it a little bit up
@anurag -- Managerial language :D
The only thing I remember of Chemistry practicals in my own high school is ending up with holes in the stockings whenever me & anyone around dropped a potentially dangerous liquid.
As for the name game, I havent had any personal experience but I know what you mean. Maybe you should steer clear of this 'Z' guy. You know what they say about being thrice 'lucky' :P
I stayed in the hostel for 3 years, for grad. and i treated hostel like home, which means i DID NOT leave the mug in the bucket and i ate whatever they served (in addition to a lot of stuff from the local bakery!)

Its all in the mind Ajith, not the brain !
Perhaps you were so paranoid after dealing with X, that you started micro-analyzing every move of Y in the background of your experiences with X. Y might have acted in your favour on several occasions, but are you sure you saw them as well ? The same could happen with Z too. So, look at Z with unbiased eyes.
People see what they are WILLING to see !
As for as the "Vinay"s of the world are concerned, don't worry..he's not talking about us ;-)
dont come to hasty conclusions dude..it might be just that, incidents relating to x & y still lingers at the back of ur mind & still influences you..z might be just another harmless guy....avoid looking thru those suspicious eyes ;)
Don't come to conclusions based on the names. I once had a classmate who troubled me most and can you guess what her name was ?
Same as mine. :-)
@rinchen -- Yep..Got to see the 'third time lucky' stuff :)
@nags-- Out of context in this blog :)
@vinay -- Nah, i dont think I microanalyzed X/Y .. I did that once the dealings with Y was over.. Yes,I' m seeing Z with an unbiased eye :)
@flyaway mind,cuckoo -- :) It seems quite a few proponents of rationality :) ..Lets see :)
ayoo..paavam z...kuzhappam onnum undaavilanee ee thavana...:-)
