Not too long time ago there was this O.
He got fed up of the rudimentary changes happening in the universe around and decided to watch a TV series.
Now its not at all easy for an O to watch TV series considering the environment on their planet.
It’s a very well known fact that O's do posses great intellectual ability - and our O wasn't any exception to this.
So his 67 friends were naturally worried about this new development
"Shall we ask The Big O about this ?", O's 53rd friend asked O.
"What can he say? No one has ever done this!" said O's 89th friend.
the 67 friends were obviously not in order, you see.
Then there was great chaos all around.
"Ok",said O in calm and clear voice."Let's face this grave situation. There is no point in running away from it. Some way or other I am going to watch this TV series . Also it means I'll have to refrain myself from using my brains. No logical thoughts should develop in mind during this period. All rational thinking must be Stopped at once.Similarlly-"
"-But this is impossible! One cannot stop logical thinking on purpose… and … and .. This is wrong!!"
"That's the beauty of this situation! For the first time in our history, we are facing something which does shut down your brain completely, without making you Aware of this! And if I'm not wrong, slowly you begin to like this ' shutdown of brain'.", said O excitedly.
"And why would you want to do such horrifying thing for Big O's sake?" - O's 42nd friend was upset.
"Good question. I'm doing it as an experiment, nothing else. But people do it rather willingly. They think loss of freedom , essentially freedom of mind, freedom of thought, as a desire. Most of them do not even realise this. They are trapped into a web that's so carefully built that entrapment is never visible.
Though you might think this situation is impossible - it is occurring very fast and effectively."
"that's weird… no one wants to loose freedom and get enslaved", muttered O's 28th friend.
"Not so, my friend. Look around , and you'll find a planet earth. Peep into their lives and you'll know how knowingly/ unknowingly people loose their Freedom- happily. Not only they loose it, they crave for this loss and …and …" O hesitated for a moment.
"What?" exclaimed someone.
" They call it as enjoyment, luxury and comfort." , said O with disgust and walked away.
- Written by O.
PS - One of the critics on Planet Zoof termed this story written by O, as highly improbable and just another wild imagination.

hmm...
ask the Os to talk to Mr. Uttam for further affects of TV series watching!!! hio ha ha ha...
that part about 'freedom' ... it is a good read! cool...
i don't know if watching a TV series is about loss of intellectual freedom... on the contrary.. it is all the freedom that one can get!!!
you are doing something against the normal routine... that is freedom at its peak!!!
and abt intellect... i dont think there is a greater challenge to an intellect than watching a TV series...! ;)
Not loss of intellect...
but the media influences you..
It slowly shapes your thoughts..
and you surrender to this unknowingly..
makdachya haati champagne :)

Me, i am anything other than an O. :):)..Uttam and me cud probably form a club of A,B,C...M, N, P, Q,...X, Y, Z. :)
