Perception of Vision

Perception of vision .. now as far as i can remember this was a topic i had studied in science I when i was in 10th std.. it said that what we see is retained for 1/10 of a second ..and is useful for movie makers and all that... now wait a second dont leave !! i am not here to teach science or anything :P ... so what was i writing about ..ohh ya perception of vision.. well, i use this phrase in a way that everyone in this world has an opinion about almost everything...you make a statement and you can get as many opinions as the number of sane people (ya.. only the sane people because to form an opinion one must analyse and express their views..so the others left out ... :P) in this world...
to further explain my crap i would state my own example..(thats because i believe when 2 people talk they must not talk about any 3rd person and since i dont know who s reading this let me tell you more about me :P.. now dont close the IE or firefox..its not that boring..)
this was about an year back when i suddenly started feeling i was growing fatter day-by-day (i maybe exaggerating...:P).. all my jeans were kind of shrinking .. (which was good as i brought some new jeans :D).. ahh so here everyone i met impressed their views on me.. but i must mention there were people who thought i looked better than "before" ..(:O now they had never ever told me i looked bad when i was "that" slim..)..but most of them felt i should "maintain" this and not grow any fatter or slimmer:P ... there was this girl ..i wont disclose her identity... who once told me "you look fat!!!"...ahh a shock!! i never expected anyone to say that to me on my face :P.... but instantly she "corrected" herself saying "i mean, you look chubby!!" ...(now i suppose she intended euphemism...well for people who had left figures of speech in option when in schools..it is used to express harsh feelings in a "softer" manner..now if you say you dont know figures of speech..i say i am not here to teach you grammar .. :P)..
to explain more here i present you another of my case-study (ahh.. see what can years of learning commerce do to you..i may use such terms a lot :p)...this was around the same time as above...when i had to go to college to check out the notice board (sigh..)... when the train reached vile parle i got off it...and climbed the bridge.. where i saw a lady giving out pamphlets of some "miracle company" which will either give you around 50k a month for not doing anything..or some medicine which will cure you of all ailments ..etc etc... my policy: dont accept any pamphlets and refuse them with a smile ... in the 20 seconds which i took to reach her i noticed that she wasn't giving out the paper to everyone... she reached out to me and i simply followed my policy... (for a second i was curious to know why was i so special that she didnt give it to others but walked straight to me..but then forget!!)... on my way back from college when i reached the bridge there i saw her again..(the same red dress, same white shoulder length hair, the same searching eyes...now i maybe exaggerating to spice up my story...) i tried to avoid her but she literally took 2 steps forward to hand me the piece of paper...(instantly out of curiosity 'why was i so special'..i glanced through it..)..to my horror it read "are you under weight or over weight" :O ...now i never thought i would fall in any of those "categories"...
so coming back to from where i started ... (which i hope you remember :P..) if people have so many opinions about my physique alone...what a range will i find about their opinion on my behavior, my attitude,...my posts here!!! :O
