RBS: Ranjit Baradwaj Syndrome
RBS is the compulsive urge to question each and every event or occurrence around oneself, generally with little or no intention of actually knowing the answer. It can also refer to the art of questioning just to start a conversation or sometimes to make the people around you think that you are really in touch with the real world.

Biography
Ranjit Baradwaj was born as a highly talented child in the Chennai in Tamil Nadu India on the 7th of July 1984. Even at an early age or 7 he went on AIR (All India Radio) to recite an essay on Jawaharlal Nehru. After completing his schooling from SBOA matriculation higher secondary school, he joined the prestigious institution of PSG College of Technology in Coimbatore (2001-2005) to complete his Bachelor of Engineering in Computer Science. This is where he attained fame and recognition for his extraordinary ability to question even the simplest of the theories like “is 2 + 2 really equal to 4”. Later on in his career he also gained fame for his mouth-orchestrated MJ tunes and flair for heavy metal rock music.

History
Right through his college career he realised that the discussion of the Tamil film industry (Kollywood) was the single hot topic of any discussion in all the hostel rooms. This led him on the path which later came to be known as RBS; the path of asking questions about every movie, every actor (and rarely actresses which puzzled his friends a lot), every side actor, every song and every director. Even before a movie was released or shortly after it was released (the time span of shortly was defined as 2-3 hours after it first hits the screens) he would start asking for reviews on the movie and the songs. Eventually though his knowledge grew over the years and he would sometimes talk about movies than just ask questions.

Examples
However, his compulsion to ask questions was not restricted to just Kollywood. One of the most famous instances of RBS was seen during the semester exams of his college. The standard and most famous form of learning for exams was “solli kudukrathu”. This was the art of one person (here after referred to as “deliverer”) reading the given study material and then explaining to the general public (here after referred to as “receiver”) “in his own words” what he thought the study material meant. Ranjit would generally be the deliverer, little genius that he was. But rarely he would also join the receiver group and listen to another deliverer give his version of the study material. This is when Ranjit’s real talent was exhibited to the outside world. Once the deliverer had delivered his version of the document, Ranjit would then pop up the most famous question “Are you sure?” This would send the entire Receiver community into an ultimate stroke of laughter and give the deliverer a certain stroke of heart attack. As far as my memory takes me, this is where the famous RBS terminology was coined.

Explanations
When asked about this compulsion he responded in a typical RBS style “Ippadi kelvi kekka vidama panna enna mathiri pasanga eppadi da vaazhkaila munnera mudiyum...” (How can guys like me succeed in life if people stop us from asking questions????). Another very plausible reason which he had provided: “’word of mouth’ knowledge travels faster than light and it is easy to get a quick response from your close ones than search it out on the internet which generally is time consuming and expensive transaction”. He believes that the only way to certain success is by asking questions. This is the path he has chosen to attain the pinnacle of glory!!!
