“Shifting the buck” – Don’t we all simply love doing that? “Who broke those glass plates? Who scattered these books on the bed?” One thing is for sure : The answer is definitely not “It was me”. Even if your conscience cuts you to the quick ,makes your head whirl , makes your heart wrench sporadically, that’s something you would never want to admit.
Blame it on your classmates. Blame it on your stars. Well, scapegoats are a tad too rife in this wide wide world. How funny and how very ironical!
Blaming is an art and I know a lot of people who have mastered this art to perfection. You ask them why something went wrong and they will leave you flabbergasted as they start reeling off a whole barrage of events starting from why the dogs in their colony cant stop barking , why the dashed monk sold his Ferrari , why Britney Spears thinks she can sing , why T.R still thinks he can act.. to why men are from Mars and women, from Venus. And at the end of the rhythmically presented saga you wrack your brains trying to figure out what exactly you asked them and why you asked them at all! Talk about sequential blaming.
There is an old joke about a man who always came late to office. One day , fed up with his stereotypical excuses, his boss demanded an explanation. The guy simply said : “Its scorching hot outside , infact so hot that the asphalt in the road expanded ,hence increasing the distance between my home and office,that’s why I’m late.” Lame excuse. Lame joke. Don’t blame me if that was’nt funny – I picked it up from a moth ridden Reader’s Digest edition!!
There are a zillion factors that trigger the blame nerve. Primarily, it spurts out because you want to shirk responsibility and cozy up in your couch instead, to swell up with rage and agony over the footages of some Bollywood actress being called a dog in a logic defying reality show or maybe cry a thousand rivers over a bunch of outrageous soap operas.
I’m not going to dig into the psyche of a “blamer” and dish out free remedies to leading a “blameless” life. I’m not Norman Vincent Peale. (Right!That’s some confession!) . So whats the whole point in writing this nonsensical article? Well, time to pass the buck!!!
