As I sat on an easy-chair staring at the sky from the porch on a lazy evening, a string of new thought process set into motion in my grey cells...
I ponder upon the words "Life moves on...no matter what", "what the heck does it even mean?". A voice inside my head answered " Life moves on...no matter what...no matter who dies or who is born...no matter who does what...there is only one direction where life and time move and that is FORWARD". "So, depressing to hear it", I thought. "Is this the truth. So, there is no purpose to life, eh?". Again the voice " No. You Idiot. Can't you think straight? The purpose of LIFE is LIFE itself. To Live it out." I thought "Uh! OK....Whatever that meant...."
Silence For sometime as I ponder about this.....
I recalled a story of a wise man who once said to a disciple seeking the same question "The purpose of life is to observe all the wonders while still carrying a spoon filled with oil without spilling it." This really had an impression on me....What kind i don't know but it sure did. The voice "Silent for so long? What is it that's on your mind?" I ask "Why then is Life for? What purpose does it serve to the one who created it?" The voice "Hey hey kiddo!! Slow down. You move too fast....Two questions and you are already upon the Creator of Life!! Phew!!"."He he" I laughed, "I take it as a compliment then." The Voice said then, " Lemme ask you a question now." I am all excited now, "Shoot right away!!". It said "If you cook something with all your heart and soul, would you not want to test it to see how well it's been?" I said "Well, Yes!" The Voice "Then there's the answer to your question. The Great Lord created LIFE and wanted to know how well he had done. So he tests us." I thought "Ohhk!! Give me a Break!! Weird! Huh!" "But, Somehow this answer seems to be right in a way, as I have nothing to contradict it." I sighed.
"I think God made the sky blue in order to give hope and peace to those who seek it. All one has to do is look up". And pondering upon all these I sign-out. See ya later!!
P.S : By the way Blue is color associated with hope and peace since times unknown. Science says that Blue color is the most effective in calming nerves.
13, 26, 11, 7 ........ What is it with these 'numbered days' that prompt an unusual amount of violence on innocent civilians by 'Terrorists' in the form of blasts etc. Why do cities with a history and residing in shadow of blasts targeted again and again? What can be proved by such acts of violence? Can these ever be stopped? How many more are to be hurt before someone puts a stop to all these? Is the city I am residing in safe?.....
These are the questions that most of us ask ourselves perhaps sitting in front of TV watching the news channels flash images from the blast sites. We feel better, maybe a little terrible, A lot of pity for the injured and families of the dead, maybe even anger on the people responsible for such acts of terrorism. Then 2 days, or maybe even 3, after that we go about our own way. What does The Govt do. The PM and some ministers visit the affected site and people involved, offer assistance and help, give a long speech on making sure that people responsible are punished etc.
That all folks that happens......but still there's no end to such events happening and such people being punished. Even though we see osama being killed, Saddam Hussein being hanged and Ajmal kasab being locked up......the veil of terrorism hangs low above our heads, any day and anytime.
Finally the much awaited ban - the ban on plastic.
It happened here, in the 5th largest metropolitan city w.e.f the month of July has been a big surprise to me. I have always been a supporter for this cause but truthfully i haven't seen many people who r sensible to this issue and to speak the truth much less the government. But i was shocked when yesterday i visited a bakery and asked him to pack a pastry and instead of the regular plastic cover he wrapped the pastry in a paper plate and gave it to me. I asked him the reason and he said that the govt has banned the sale of plastics weighing more than 40 microns ( yeah, i thought, whatever that meant). He further added that if i wanted a polythene cover i should pay 2 rupees extra. (Damn!!!). I just cursed the guy and went my way.
But only today morning did i realize the burden of what he said. I visited the Reliance mall today and brought a couple of grocery things and when i went to the counter to pay for my things, i was told by the sales-girl there to fetch my own bag from the next time and since this was my first time I would be given a paper bag. Gosh, i thought, "this is serious".
Long After a series of failed attempts at social networking, Google may hit the web with Google+, its answer to the popular social networking site Facebook. Read further on to know why and how it could have a major impact on the future of the Web and the our look on social networking.
Google had always wanted social networking to work, and this time, it may just work.
Google’s previous attempts at creating social networking websites have been disasters. Open Social failed because Google couldn’t get Facebook and other social networks to buy into the idea of a shared social identity. Orkut has not been a hit with the current generation either. Google Wave was not being useful enough to attract any users. Google Buzz freaked people out by naively overstepping its bounds on privacy. and now its google+. Right from the name it seems on its way to be the new social rage.when Google unveiled its latest social experiment last week — called Google+— I was extremely skeptical. Still, Facebook is so malignant in terms of privacy and such a mess to use and configure that I was inclined to give Google+ a try. I just expected that it would be a speed-dating relationship like most of the other social networking sites(which do not possess the fate of Facebook) and destined to last no more than a few weeks that at the most that too with the self-created hype. But I was proved wrong.

Android, android, android..... We here it everywhere these days. They have even got jobs for people specialised in this technology - well one important reason why you should know about it.
About 7 years ago it was the name of a character in one of the cartoon shows that i and my brother used to like and watch avidly and which my mom despised. Nowadays, however, it refers to an OS widely used in the new generation cell-phones.
One of the most used gadget or device these days is a Mobile phone. Almost everybody has it and it has become an integral part of our everyday life. Earlier it was only used for communication. Little while later, small applications like calendars, calculators etc were added to provide additional functionality or rather make life easier. Nowadays we want almost everything to be done by our handset. We are tired of carrying the bulky laptops and netbooks for our everyday activities. Be it Web browsing, File sharing, Uploading, Downloading, Social networking etc - just name it and the Gen-'Y' mobiles have about everything we can dream of. So, how is it possible, with such a small device such as our handset that such rich user apps are supported. The answer is the old one - OS.
Disclaimer - There's gonna be more jargon further!!
One of the most widely used OS for smart-phones nowadays is "Android". So more about Android now :
What is it that drives human beings to extreme emotions sometimes?
As the most civilized of living beings on earth we are under constant pressure of keeping our natural and basic instincts under strict check and control.
Is it this tug at the elasticity which breaks at some particular time and propels us to behave in the most uncivilized way?
Or is it the superior ego that blinds us for that moment?
Or is it owing to the influence of the so-emphasized rudimentary environment that we grow in?
By and by we hear of such stories and they have a negative influence and impact on the mass public. Can it ever be avoided? Can people act more mature? Or we just have to ignore all of it, turn away as if all that happens to only other people and walk away.
Maybe there is no answer to these questions. And if there is, there might be multiple versions in the form of wise advice from over-helping people.
Someone once said "A wise man does not ponder over unanswerable questions". Maybe we should pay heed to these wise words.
