Screaming Anyone?

Ever heard of decibel training? I have taken a little different view of this. It is for people to be able to turn it down, walk away and learn the effect of blaring decibels. Boring it may sound; it can be innovated to take the funniest forms.

Ok I'll give you an insight. First, think of someone who is unreasonably angry all the time, snaps at others, screams at the top of his/her voice. I'm sure we know someone or the other like that, some professor, sibling(I am not trying to imply anything) etc.
So picture them getting furious at you, ridiculing you. Would you dare answer back? Trigger another level anger? NO

Here's what you should do, KEEP looking into their eyes very calmly and whenever their decibels go out of limits, START SINGING very calmly. I would recommend "why this kolaveri kolaveri di".
They would be startled, irritated and would bring down their tone but momentarily only. As a trusted prescription, repeat this whenever they behave like a pressure cooker. They will be so embarrassed to scream at you (atleast you) that they will avoid it. But remember you need to have the courage to be consistent with the singing and innovative with the songs.

I can give other examples as well. This professor was utterly bugged with people sitting on the far away benches instead of the front ones in a large classroom with low attendance for obvious reasons. But the rowdy political class that was; never listened to him. So he resorted to this technique as well. Every time even a single student sat at the back, he kept smiling and said nothing. throughout. This continued for a while until the students got super irritated with his smile and perseverance so they gave up sitting at the back!

Patience is the key. I used to practice this when I was a kid unknowingly though. Whenever someone called me by the wrong pronunciation of my name, I never replied. Until a few months later no one called me IshTA.
Its funny how animals show a greater interest in improving upon subjected to something like this. If your doggy loves coming in the kitchen or any area you dislike; stop acknowledging him, pretend like he isn't there. Do this repeatedly until he will start avoiding that area all together.

It is really obnoxious how our brain can be tricked so easily. Even diet sodas can trick our mind into believing that is sugar for us. Jeez the wonders we can do in making our mind or others believe in what we want!
