Technolgy and its hard disks full of surprises...

Not all the days are meant to be beautiful n sunny...looking back at the 365 days in the previous year...no one can sing-"we had joy, we had fun, we had seasons in the sun"(in the typical Westlife style!!)...if life would be that simple...the very concepts of joy, happiness, sadness, etc would cease to exist...cos all these concepts are so subjective...they are the relative comparisons of the state of minds of two persons(either a real or a virtual one) in more than one situation...sittin here in front of the computer i may dream...that am so unfortunate to have taken birth as elvin and not as bill gates..as he has so many hi-tech gadgets...but i would be happy if i compare myself with someone from a village in India where a Nokia 1100 is a sign of prosperity and heights of sophistication...decades back when TV was frst shown to some...they tried to catch the objects in them...cos they thought that they were real...n things could not exist in an electronic world...sometime later they came to understand that things cant be touched...that the tv screen is a boundary between them and the virtual world..if someone that time would say that you couls actually use the screens other than the purpose of viewing..you would have been mocked at and would have been termed as some one who hasnt kkept himself "abreast of the latest technology"...but touch screens did the exact opposite of what the "self proclaimed technology gurus" said...

How does technology manage to surprise us every time...well the answer is simple...every time a technology updates itself..we tend to assume that its the pinnacle of success for the scientists as nothing can cross the barriers that this particular technology has set...but when its outdated by any other technology, the we are surprised again...this surprise actually forces us to consider it to be the end of the evolution of that technology...but that doesnt happen..as we must be knowing so well..


When the Wright Bros said they could fly..the question was-really??
When planes cross shorts distances...the question was-really??
When planes went transcontinental...the question was-really??
When the crossed the sound barrier..the question was-really??

But surprise...all of these things did happen...n they are so common now that if you ask them if they feel strange about these things happening here..they would term you crazy to ask such a question...fuuny rite..well those people are funny alright!!!

Guess whos back!!!

hmmm...so here i am...after almost six months of hibernation...wid lots of things to express...but words arent a perfect means to communicate...words can only present a part of the picture...sometime the birds view n sometimes the worms view....for e.g. i can say that a flower smells good...but how can i possibly pen down the feelings that went around my mind when i smelt that flower...remember what Niel Armstrong said when he first set his feet on the moon(Chuck the Moon Hoax controversies n stuff...i believe that NASA fooled us..but for sometime for the sake of convenience lets just think that NASA is truth personified!!!)

"Its a small Step for man....A giant leap for Mankind..."

wow...sounds cool eh??!! well it is ...that dude must have rehearsed for hours the lines that he was about to utter...but was he able to explain to all those white guys in The Civilized State, black guys in The Uncivilized State, n some brown guys in The Confused State about what went around his mind when he did so... never...never can i believe that Perfect Communication can exist via Verbal Communication...But I do believe Ronan Keating when he sang-"You say it best, When you say nothing at all"...cos i firmly believe that only the mind can communicate in a perfect way...ever wondered why a baby feels so comfortable in its moms arms...its cos during those nine months..the baby n the mother are so close that even the smallest tension in the mothers brain can increase the chances that the baby will grow up to become a hypertension patient!!!so if the mother is worried throughout her pregnancy, you can be sure of what to expect after those six months!!!

Voice just conveys the basic points of the message that you want to convey...the rest has to be interpreted by you...n often you do that by analysing the other person...whether that person is sarcastic when he says such stuff...or is he a guy who speaks just for the sake of speaking...thats your job...thats the reason why they say that you should never trust strangers...thats cos you wont know what he/she actually means...

I have always felt that some of the best conversations happen the non-verbal way...n i think am still not doing it...cos even if you read it right now...i must be somewhere else thinking of something else...which i might never be able to express...even ths blog..i have so many thoughts running through my head that the moment...but i still cant pen down everything...sad rite..well its the biggest irony that man is the most intelligent creature on earth but still it does things that are so stupid that even a cricket can label as absurd!!! hail Mankind...the Failed Mankind!!!

P.S. NASA played a trick on our heads...the entire space landing was a hoax..there are enough proofs to prove that NASA guys are not good space guys but excellent movie makers!!!
