To the people who like to stay updated with the American sitcoms, Dr. Rajesh Koothrapali is a famous character but to many more it is more than a mere fictional creation.
With this concept of cliques that is famous all across our nation, every group has a Raj of their own. That person might not be necessarily be from a foreign land, but can also be someone who feels like an outsider. Somebody who is not very comfortable with certain social paradigms.
As the concept of cliques popularizes, more is the number of Raj i.e the level of social anxiety among individuals is on a constant uprise. Everyone from ages 5 to 50 want to be a part of a certain social circle. And not just be a part, also remain in it, which in turn makes them anxious, subconsciously. No matter whether they put themselves forward as someone confident, every group has a Raj of their own, someone who would be successful at being smart and silly at the same time!
Anyone who feels sorry for himself has the Raj-factor in them, because at a certain level they feel lonely and hence feel sorry for themselves. This somebody would surely be good at whatever they do but would always consider themselves a tad-lesser than everyone they’d know.
Anyone experiencing a certain level of social anxiety has a certain level of Raj-factor in them. For all the joy and laughter, fun and frolic that this modern society requires; along with that X-factor one should also have the Raj-factor so as to remain content. The X-factor along with the Raj-factor would definitely be a formidable combination and you would then be the heart and soul of your clique.!
