Opiniating

Now I am not sure whether Opiniating is a word in Dictionary or not, nor do I want to look it up. I define Opiniating as an action to express ones views (they may be correct or incorrect, educated or a plain simple guess or gas :-) ) on any topic in Universe. It may make sense or may not, but that is not important at all. What counts is that you have something to say about the topic under discussion and you say it in a manner which atleast appears intelligent !

There are no set topics for Opiniating, but generally people are found opiniating about Politics, Government - its policies and performance, Weather, Movies, Sports and CRICKET! While opiniating a person wears the "Expert Hat", i.e no one knows about that topic better than he does(it may be a different matter that he/she may be hearing about that topic for the first time or that the opinion he/she is passing is what was opiniated by someone else). I consider Opiniating to be very healthy. It opens your mind and brings in thoughts which you may never have thought about. It is a challenge to your intellect. One thing that I have observed is that a good opiniator generally comes out with good ideas too (also good excuses to help him/her escape from dicey situations).

Opiniating should be done keeping in mind the environment surrounding you. It can sometimes turn out to be hazardous. For example in Chennai if you adversly opiniate about Rajanikant or Kamal Hassan, even the holy lords may not be able to save you( just wondering why would anyone adversly opiniate about Rajani or Kamal? ).

One topic that I always find difficult to opiniate upon is Cricket, Indian Cricket in particular. The simple reason for my difficulty is that everyone else is an expert on this topic (or so it seems) and I am a total novice. So here is a tip to you all who find opiniating on some topic difficult, do what I do with Cricket. I find one person whom I feel to be an expert opiniator on the topic, hear his opinions and then consider them to be words from Bible. It helps me to opiniate with others :D.

The real so-called experts opiniating can sometimes be real interesting, for e.g a scientist was asked "How can you tell the age of snake?", and his expert opinion on the question was "It is extremely difficult to tell the age of a snake unless you know exactly when it was born !! ".

So dear friends do develop the habit of opiniating (if you don't have it already). For starters you could opiniate by posting a comment on this post :-).
