The room choses you


My old room mates moved out this summer and new ones moved in. At that time, I figured that the first two guys in would choose the two largest rooms.............well it did not work out quite that way. The first room mate chose the second largest room. That was understandably a result of the room ddecorations left there by the previous occupant and we shall not ddelve too ddeep into it. However, it is the second choice that stupefied me.The second guy to move in, Narendra, chose the smallest room. That was confusing till we realized that it wasn't his choice at all...............it was the room that chose him. How did we realize that? Well, it was pretty obvious that the room enticed a certain breed of people. The late risers (coz its the only one with no direct sunlight. These people need to love yoghurt, cook well, drink often and have a certain independence around them...............they need a personality you can define only when you see it. But then, it (the room) begins converting those people into health freaks of the highest order. Both Ishmeet, its previous occupant, and Narendra got bitten by the health bug on moving in. Both started eating a lot healthier (one gave up pizza, strictly, and the other oily stuff). The nutritional label on the package became more important than its contents. The health conscious stuff in our house exploded. They both became regular and long visitors of the gym.

Well, maybe I am just paranoid.........but then maybe not. We will just have to wait for the next occupant to know and then the room could fund a PhD for a phychic science student.
