beep beeep ... beeeeeeeeep ...... peeep peeep peppepepepepepe ..... and not to forget the quintessential beeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeep !!!!!
If you think communicating orally takes 'effort' .. and you buy into the idea of 'it not being worth the effort' .... the 'world of short-cuts' has a solution for this as well ..... walllllllaaaaaaaaa !!!!!
Introducing the 'button press' technique of communcation.... wondering as to were i am going with this......!!!!!!!
The other day ... in another of those stressed out walk's down the lane ,when i was busy trying to figure out just how ... a road as wide as it was .... (with the road layers having been considerate of the 'volume' of traffic brrr....) could get clogged to an extent that pedestriants were having to get their sence of geometry spot on to make those precise angular turns to get past it .... i senced the feeling of something brushing my pants from behind ... and even as i prepared to turn back to give him a much deserved stare .... i heard the dreadfull music of him beep.An he went on and on with it until it stuck me that he was trying to 'beep me of his way' and with the pitch of his honk , he eventually managed to. Hows that for an 'effective comm alternative'
For a more rediculus instances now ....... ppl seem to have lost the true sence of the word 'utilisation' ...... and also the understanding of what a 'trafic signal' stands for ..... heres how .... If the signal turing from red to green is not an indication enough for ppl to go by ...then what is .....!!!!
I cannot help but redicule the impatence(which derives strength from the deep rooted and ever growing store-house of ignorence that ppl are unknowingly nurturing ,fueled by the unsensored ethos of our society) of a man who can think of nothing but honk completely aware of the fact that the traffic will clear in a second or two and then , he has the whole road for himself and those ...... the agression of the 'vroom' of the throttle only reminds me of war horses on their marks .. waiting for the command to tear appart the opposiion ... the only difference being that in the later .... the intensity in this case is well utilized.
I quiet litrally wake up to the 'suprabatham' of honkers ..... thanks to the location of our house which i must say .. is tailor made to receive the brunt of it... infact there are rooms that act as amplifiers to make things worse ...The honks bieleve me lastes from the begening of the road on one side touchs its peak at the juction(alongside which we stay) and melows down on the way towards the end of the other road ..... ok one more utter of the this and this could well be my last artcle from here......grrrrrrrrr !!!!11
phew !!!!!!!!!! what these things do at rhe least is motivate me to write up .... they have no other bright side to it do they ...'kahan woh din jab ham tarasthe the .. logon ki aahat sunne ko hyderabad ke un sunsaan galion mein ... aur kahan aaj .....jab hame use chehel pehel se bhaagne ka ji kartha hai ......'

Banglore makes me re-opine ....................
The scene is set at another of those gloomy or rather call it blore'ish evening's, I see all my apprehensions on work ruining my evening
plans fading away err ....!!!!, much to my delight.With every pending task being dismissed with a click of the send button, and my superiour oblidging
to all the answers that i had to give him ,with a gentle nod of his head in full approval .Puffed up i was , all set to kick of on my 'exended week-end' trip back home.
I could smell the uncetainity in the air ... quiet litrally ...... the heaven's had stayed silent long enough without intervention ... and up there they looked as though
shaded by brush strokes..... shades that god has reserved for blore ,inching to pour down waiting for the devine nod.
In the hope that the clouds would hold on aleast until i reached my room or the 'greedy me' wanted it to hold on all the way to the station .thats quiet an
unfair wish , in a place like blore where commuting has a whole diff 'time' dimention to it.A place where the average space a man occupies when he comutes on
is the size of a car (a sedane) and where fashion is synonymous to settinling for no less than going Kirkwood .At times i have found myself peeping in to find the commuter , who is usually a person who's physical dimentions are no way in proportion
to the mode of transport.I dare ,not to question them on this , fearing to hear the most dreaded answer , that of their 'human rights' being questioned. I see the lack of intent
to care for the society while we plan for our well being.
In todays times , when we claim to have fast-pased our life and to have surged ahead, we seem to have lost focus of out pusuite , or should i say of what
our pursuite is supposed to be. A changes i believe is requied when there is a need for one , a need to change say an existing system which does not deliver , but change has
become synonymous to changing times.and when that happens we end up loosing out to the change rather than gaining from it.An what have we lost from the recent
string of changes , well in the the persuit of simplyfying actions , we have lost the essence of the what it was in practices for ,in the first place .. havn't we ? A lot of
this has to do with the basic understanding of our lives. It all comes down to doing simple things rite.
The fruit of a successful completion of a task is in its completeness , and we get here only when we have a complete undertanding of why it is performed.That explains
the unsuccessful completion of all the tasks that we do. So all such situations should ring alarm bells in us which should help us realize the root cause of the problem and not surprisingly ,
in most cases we will find ourselves to blame for the consequences of our action.Beleive me .... if only every ine starts to practice this ... there would be absolutely no confusion.U will
not go around advocating ur point , coz it gets solved within you .You put yourselves under the scanner and look at it in the light of other circumstances.
That was from an idealistic perspective , and we have a long way to travel in this direction to even envision the bueaty of the fruits , it bears.

Where Ordinay is Cleshe !!!!!!!!!
If u have been an obeserver and assimilator of things that go around u in this world and have leveraged ur intelllect
, you would have already acknoledged chaos 'reigning' and will have lost faith in rules binding our lives.
Look at the world panning out from a lay mans perspective and .... we find ourselves unstoppable, we've have defied all odds ,we've done the
untinikable ,we've found means of litrally 'kissing death good bye'.Now that is as close to defiying nature as we a have
got or have we ?
Nature has its own nack of tackling imbalences and it does a fab job doesn't it. its almost inate in it , is the nature to get back to the
state of equilibrium , which is where we should belong to .We indulge ourselves so much to the 'world' that we find ours selves on a swing ,precariously
flirting with the contours of the 2 exteremes , true to the nature of a pendulum in full swing ,
.It appears to have a certain flair attached to it , in philosophical terms 'maya' ,and thats
what mesmerises us ...
hmm i wonder how much more we have to learn from nature !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! only if we could make an ernest start !!!!!!!!!!1
Glimses of this are found in every aspect.The other day there was a discussion that came up , one that has become a routine these days that of the
recession vows and the impact of it on the 'big fish' that fed on it .... u guessed it rite , the IT sector.It was'nt any more than a decade and a half back when
the internet was an alean to us.We've moved from then on to getting overly obsessed with it to the extent that it would be a pain full poceess to part from it.
Why do we always have to go thru the crest and the trrough of the sine wave before we feel the need to find the median path .If we thought that we are wiser
than the generation rhat has gone by ,why doe that not apply to real time decisions. Why are we still bound by the ordinary just why ????!!!!!!!!!!!

From the inside , out of the box ..
If you thought that the you are ‘made of’ the idea that surround you …. Hnnnnnn … U certainly are. And if u thought that you are ’only made of’ the ideas in the society hmmmm …….. that’s both a demo of the power of words and test of what u are???? … was that eye brow raising ….!!!!! I am not surprised …….
Which gets me to a point that I have been mulling upon for a while now , the fact that it’s the ready-made ‘patterns of thought’ that have evolved over generations , that tickles the lazy-you into imbibing them and enter into a zone of ‘permanent void’. This is where we belong to. Look around with patience and , just take some time out to observe ppl around where ever u are …. We’ve got ppl galore for this experiment, categorize ppl by their attributes .Create a virtual database of such patterns of behavior …….. You will not have too many of them .. I assure you . Over a period u will find resemblances in patterns ….. And some might surprise u , by reproducing them. Soon you will start finding clones of people quiet literally …. clones of their attributes I mean. and believe me .. this is when it starts being fun . U cannot help , but wonder at your findings .U might also find yourself not being perturbed by them , rather u’ll find your eye-balls inquisitively observe those un-healthy ripples on their four-head or for that matter all over their face and your brain trying to figure out the reason for the same. Well the concern was not of the sheer no of repeated patterns … but what are these repetitions of ? …. The repetitions of some disturbing attributes.
As proud owners of the tag of the ‘most evolved’ creatures on the planet , we do little to justify our position. I’ve made it a habit to co-relate just about every thing with the theory of probability. If only each one of us could identify our own assets we would have as many patterns as the no of ppl around and its this is when ppl stop complaining that coz we identify ourselves with the ‘Unique U’ some thing that all of us have in ourselves and very few manage to get a feel of.
Imagine a world were each of us identify and are allowed to identify with our own perspective of things , I don’t think there would be any scope of confusion , which now is all pervading. and that would lay the basis for a near perfect world where our thoughts and actions are in sync with nature and the interplay as they call it between human and the divine would create ideal circumstances for all we ppl
