The Era of Smart TV & Phones and dumb People .

It was not the first tie when I was ditched by the network  while I was looking for way to reach the office and the wise old man around me helped with the route to get me there without even giving a little stress over it. The same thing happened to me when I was travelling and wanted to know the list of stations where the train is going to stop but again this sweet innocent love of my life was out of network so I the ray of hope was old couple sitting next to me .These small incidences force me to think about how Technology has overtaken the power of our brain. I still remember when i was a high school kid and Mobile Phone was the newly invented craze and at that time I use to remember all the contact numbers of my near and dear once so that I can call them and gradually when this device was developed further with better storage and all the contacts was saved in the phone now i hardly remember any contact numbers. The exercise or the work which we use to do with our brain has taken the setback by depending on the technology. I would also like to take the chance to mention the Era of Dumb People with smart TV.
Television sets are something which was made to provide visual and audio information and some entertainment so that we can feel refreshed but gradually we are being addictive to it .Now a days we can't effort to meet our dear ones at the cost of missing our favorites serial episode. We can spend the whole 24 hours of our weekends sitting in front of that Idiot Box which earlier people used to discover the surrounding or going to a get together with family and friends .Technology has made us their slaves and slowly we are becoming the victim of it. We may not realize but it is affecting us in every aspect of life .
The things what are changing are:-
Earlier we use to make more use of our brains and use to make it exercise by remembering small details but now even the birthday of cousin has to be reminded by the pop up of the facebook notification.
There was a time when there use to be a long conversation after dinner about how the day was , how every member of the family is doing but now even the dinner table witness silence and people busy with their so called smart phones or having the dinner private in their room with their eyes into the TV screen as Dumb viewer.

You might be thinking that I am against the Technology by this time after reading my views about it but that's not true, What I need to convey is that Technology is your slave to make your work easier rather than making your their slave and make you dumb. Everything or anything which is used only when required helps us to develop but getting over addicted to it detach us from the world at large , from the environment around us , from the gifted nature we have to enjoy and relax. Earlier people use to enjoy their holidays by just sitting beside their loved once in the silence of nature or exploring the area but now the concentration is more about the selfies and recording instead of seeing what  we have gone to see. It has become so irritated behavior of  human being that someday you'll realize after seeing the picture that you were so busy taking memories that you forget to create memory. the places you visit will be the unknown destination with some proof that you have been there.
Don't make it too late to realize that a group photo with people around you is better than a lonely selfie ,because gradually the environment around us is replacing the people around us with the technology and it will only make a Sick world instead of a better one.

The imaginary struggling.

Every single event happening in front of us is a opportunity to learn something from it , but how often we pay attention to it . I assume none!  Or very rarely few out of millions and billions . Why is this negligence , why people don't want to learn from others mistake and  don't feel blessed to have what they have and to laugh at the moment . They attempt to create a wall of sadness or wishes of what they want instead of making a scenery of what they have . I know its quite real and happens with every single individual but the question is why not apply some effort to change the way we see the world . Lets start with a small incidence happened with mohan , one of my friend who was more into i want to live like others and why cant i get what he has . Now mohan was traveling to Delhi from kolkata . His train was about to arrive at kolkata station for boarding. The environment of railway station has a lot to teach if we care too. There was a lot of rush and people were runn...

D-E-S-I-R-E

Its been a Month and I am still Not sure that "Whether I got the answer to this so called word DESIRE " ? But in the process of finding a single act of Humans without a Desire all I got was quite healthy amount of things which human do for desire, Here is what I got :- Ishani a good friend of mine, Quite a philosopher type and a believer of gods Existence visits to a nearby temple on weekly basis. Every time she passes from the corner of the Temple, she finds a beggar who has lost his legs, how he lost it is even a mystery to her so do with me. So as per her schedule of visiting temple last week I joined her.While returning she put a coin in the "bank of chiller box "of that beggar and recited her gods name and we proceeded for home, in the midway I asked her why she recited her gods name while giving that money to him, She replied in a philosophical way as she always does , what she explained was :- " See Ashish we do a lot of things knowingly or un...

Why we deny to accept ?

We were always like this ! We love to show the emotions according to what others will think about us instead of what we actually feel. The recent incident about one of a young talented actor has left us with the very basic question of "WHY WE DENY TO ACCEPT"? Well yes people will stop posting about the recent incident by the end of this week or a month . They will get engaged to the same old routine of running after money so that one day we could live better . The sanity of basic life is to live , to feel , to observe the things around us and not just keep running and ending it with a huge list of things to-do. Thinking about the life in a manner that things will get back to normal is the very basic error we do . ! Can we undo an error ? Can we mend a Broken Glass without being able to see the cracks ? We certainly can't? but the thing here is not about seeing the broken glass but to accept that its broken and not to hide the story behind it . Mistakes happen...
