Your Dosa defines you

Dosiology: The newly founded Psychological Branch of Personality Assessment using the ever-divine poor-man's bread. There are many ways to eat a masala dosa. Whatever the way one eats; there is a very good reason for doing that. It shows some traits of the person that is in you...

The Open Book:
People who open the masala dosa and eat it:
These are the people who are very open about their life. Everyone including the person's friends would know everything about him/her. Guys more often do this than girls. Some people think that it is a gross way of eating but in truth, these people are just portraying who they are and how life is to them.u00a0-- The Open Book.

The No-Greys:
People who start from both ends and approach the masala in the middle later:
These are the people who like to wait for the exiting things to come into their life. Sadly when such things happen, they are not too interested or just do not know how to enjoy it to the fullest. These are folks who just want life in black or white, no grey! There are two types of No-Grey people:

Case 2.1:
People who do not finish all the masala:
These folks just do not care as much for the fun times as they are already brought down by the harsh reality of life. The dry periods in their life has left them with so many scars that they do not want to be really happy, even when the time is right. They just take only as much as they need and live a sorry content life.

Case 2.2:
People who finish all the masala with the little dosa they have:
These are the folks who live life to the extremes. They know what going all out means. They may not enjoy life to the fullest but they surely ensure that they get every single good or bad experience out of life. Sometimes these folks are really hard to get along with. They are either your best friends or your worst enemies. They do not have a middle path at all.

The Best-First:
People who start from the middle and proceed to both ends:
These are people who like to get right to what they think is their best part of life. Usually these guys finish of the good portions in such a hurry, that they get stuck with nothing but the worst parts of their life. The thing to note among these people is that the tendency to burn out very early in their life is far too obvious. Like the above case, there are two kinds of people in Best-First Group:

Case 3.1:
People who do not finish the dosa:
These folks are really the saddest of people. They are the ones who tend to end their life as soon as it hits a bad patch. For them, they only need and want the best things in life and nothing more. Typically, they are not prepared or tuned to life as a whole. They just want to enjoy from the beginning to the end. Sadly, no one in the world can live without even an ounce of sadness in life. Not even the richest of the richest. But to self-destruct at the mere sign of distress is very bad. That is what these people tend to do. Some learn to live life but most of them do not.

Case 3.2:
People who do finish the dosa:
These folks are the typical human beings. We all enjoy the greatest of times in life and push through the sad parts thinking about the better times we've had or will have. Typically the plate is clean and nothing is left for fate. Happiness and sadness are part of life and these people know that and are kind of prepared for it. Life is not always happy but there are moments of happiness here and there.

The Perfectionists:
People who eat the dosa making sure that the masala lasts for the whole dosa:
These people are very rare. These are the people who like to attain balance in their life. It is hard to displease these people but it is hard to make them really happy too. They like their balance and are very protective of it.

Sadly these are the people who tend to be lonely as anyone else may upset the balance of their system. Perfectionists to the core, they do not make the best of company but are needed in any group to make the group from going haywire.

The Misers:
People who do not share and eat the dosa as if it is precious:
These folks are very protective about their life. They do not want anyone to come and interfere in their life. They like to hide their true nature and intensions for their own benefit. Beware of such people as they are in every group for their own need and nothing else. Selfishness defines them.

The Sharers:
People who offer their first bite to others:
These guys are overly friendly. They do anything to be part of a group and make everyone feel like the group is more important than the individual. They are the glue that holds any group together. They are very friendly and bring out the best of all the others in the group. They go out of their way to help other friends.

The Tasters:
People who take one or two bites and then offer the dosa to others:
These guys care about friends and friendship but they take their time to get into the group. They take their time in making friends and they typically are very committed once into the friendship. These guys like to always be in the sidelines and typically do not jump into anything in life. They always take their time to analyze the situation and then make a decision. These guys take the better safe than sorry approach.

The Followers:
People who wait for others to make the offer first:
They are unsure about everything. Even if they want to share, they will wait till the other person offers the food first. If the other person is silent, so will they. They are the followers. They are brilliant with ideas but they will need to bounce it off someone else and get their advice before proceeding.

The Me-First:
People who offer dosa only when they cannot finish it on their own:
You may all be familiar with these kinds of people. They are very generous only when all their needs are fulfilled. These folks are selfish but at the same time they are not misers or greedy. They just want to satisfy themselves before they give it out to the world. They typically do not stuff themselves nor do they tend to starve. They are very good people who would give you the best of advice in life.

The Un-Satisfied:
People who offer the whole dosa and eat from others plates:
These folks are other extreme. They know what they want, they get what they want but they cannot enjoy what they want. Instead they tend to settle for other things in life, which satisfies their needs but does not satisfy them completely. These guys are termed as born losers, because they are never fully satisfied.

Statutory warning:
While these predictions might be true, we are not responsible for any wrong reading that you might make. Dosiology is for fun and the readings might often be in contradiction to the actual person's character. They may however be a good pastime and a superb dosa-party game.
