Chairs in our lives


Chairs in our lives
We all have chairs at our homes. Chairs serve as a tool to sit in a comfortable and socially acceptable manner. 

Even as you are reading this post, it is likely that you are sitting on a chair while doing so. There are several other alternatives for sitting but it is most common to sit on a chair, atleast in public. Chairs have influenced a lot of changes and development, for instance, if cars didn’t have chairs, it wouldn’t have gotten so popular.

Rich people spend a lot on chairs. Almost everyone wishes to display grand chairs for guest at home by spending heavily on furniture associated with a  chair such as a coffee table, a stool, a vase stand. 

Some of the most common appearances of chairs can be sofa chair, rocking chair, wheel chair, bean chair, chair with wheels like the ones used in office, chair in the dining room, chair in a park,  chair in a bus,  commodes are chair shaped toilets (~_^).

If you think about it, childern’s parks showcase several variations of chairs. Like the sitting facility on  see-saw, slide, swing... etc.

Chairs help us overcome the force of gravity by providing surfaces to dissipate the force from our bodies on to the surface of the chair. Chairs provide support to the back and act as means to maintain one position for a long time.

The letter ‘h’ in a chair looks like a chair (^_^), just like the word ‘bed’ which looks like a bed.


Chairs have been icon of power and luxury all through the ages. The emperors throne, the presidents seat, heir to the throne are common terms of use. Chairman is a term given to a person who is a deciding committee member.

Electric chairs were used to kill death sentenced prisoners soon after its invention.

At parties, there is a famous game called musical chair, in which people get eliminated if they are not able to acquire a seat fast enough. This game is an event based game where the event is indicated by start and stop of a certain music being played. Musical chair also significance of how you can get eliminated if you are not able to react to a certain situation well in time.

Chairs clearly define boundaries between you and the person next to you.

While sitting on a chair, the body is no longer required to concentrate on balance that is required while a person is standing. As humans, we tend to stand and walk seamlessly, but try to get the same from a dog and you will see my point. Yes the center of gravity itself is shifted while sitting (^_~).

The number of legs on a chair depends on its purpose, as in the case of a car seat where it has one support, in park seats it has 2 supports and in a table chair, it generally has 4 but the number really depends more or less on choice. Chairs have influenced the way we live and here is a video that summarizes it all.

Fat people Transition effect.

Being fat or think is a strictly relative comparison.

A person is considered fat when he seems to occupy more space than another person. This includes having a larger stomach, butt, chubby face, fat legs etc...

However being fat or not is not something a person realized on his own. When people who had seen you a long time back find a difference in your appearance, or size they tend to comment on it, which makes us realize that we are fat or thin. And as mentioned before, there is no strict reference. Often it so happens that we are compared to the people around us, to conclude if we are fat or thin.

Lets look at a scenario where there are 8 people sitting in a row and a person behind decides to judge if they are fat or not.


We can see here that when comparing 2 people, their fatnesses are of no significance only the difference of their fatness matters.  Our mind makes an average assumption of the actual fatness and it can be seen in the black curve that the less fat people appear to be fat when amongst fatter people.

The method of averaging can be tracked on proper analysis, but i have made no such effort. It can be one of straight-line method, simple average, weighted average... or any of such methods.

To be on the safer side, make sure that if you are a fat person, then you sit next to a fatter person because as the graph indicates, your relative fatness will make you look thin.
Suppose you are a very thin person and if you want to look a bit fat, then sit amongst people who are just slightly fatter than you.

Though the final opinion of the people will very when you change the group, it still leaves an impression which you can bank upon in future encounters.

After you have read this blog, make sure you try to look at what you consider youself to be, and how you came to such a conclusion. And tell me what you can relate to.

Yes this is perhaps the most useless blog I have written as on now, whatever opinion you have on this topic, please put it as a comment. (TY)
