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 word of mouth

  We often heard in life that “The pen is mightier than the sword”. Yes, this is true but we never wonder about the authenticity of the work written by the pen. That’s simply because we were never taught to question the same. Today I just had this argument with myself after watching the movie Baar baar Dekho. What’s said by the critics and people around me gave me an impression about that movie was that it’s not worth anyone’s time to devote in such kind of movie and I was following the same rule taught to me “Not to question the authenticity”, unless and until one old friend of mine suggested that I should watch the movie and decide by myself instead of blindly following the word of mouth. Still I was not convinced because it’s easy to be with the majority then to take a stand. There are so many simple things in life we choose to ignore, so many rituals blindly followed that we didn’t even have the courage to question that! Why is that? Why are we the way we are? Mayb

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

An Unanswered call !

Often in life we get so indulged in activities that we forget about the Purpose of Life. The fear of tomorrow has killed our today in many ways. I have often seen people making plans of doing things once they achieve some target and most of the time we fail to enjoy the tiny moments of life.  We forget the Joy .Life s not an Unanswered call. Life is a call which we should take with joy and happiness inside us. This is a Long gap since I wrote my last blog but it's never late to start afresh. This topic has came into my mind from the incidence that happened to one of my dear friend and that lead me to write and share.  It was  8:30 pm  in the night and as usual I was having dinner when Suddenly I got a call from one of my friend  stating that her brother is not receiving the call past 2 Hours and the whole family was panicking. Everyone at this end was forcing their mind to think as much negative as it could .While repetitive attempt was being made but with every unanswered call ,th
