We are not computers

 Disappearing are those days where we are being taught by intelligent humans in class rooms. Computers are fast becoming our teachers and students are becoming believers of machines than humans. We home works and assignments being done through laptops and palmtops. We can almost say we falling in love with our phones. We are starting feel pain when these devices are broken or lost. We are starting to develop emotions for these smart devices created by the smartest of men. Its more like men giving away part of their brains to the computers and computer is compilation different brains. But, yet they can never be us. We are now sitting in front of devices more and more we are starting to get hooked to them better and better addiction is bad but becoming part of your life is worse. We spend more time with this brain data base than with human beings these days the end result will be that we shall me smarter than the older generation but stronger may not be case. Coming to that in the end we are not computers to romanticize this time spent with computers. We are men and if we manage to reduce the human contact effectively we shall evolve to become just a database, where we learn everything from movies and pictures rather than the humans around us.  

So called humans......

            WE are but animals, we have got civilized through culture, but we have decided to be animals by ignoring it.  We have forgotten that it’s these boring things that have kept our animals in cage and us civilized.

            We write about how women are attacked and killed, we talk about how there is so much hate existing between religions, The papers talk about how our society is degrading, they are talking about the best worst incidents happening around us, committed by other human as though a miracle as occurred. Only showing that they have forgotten that Hitler was also a human being, did we not read about him in history? Then again how many of us know that history is lesson from the past to teach humans what we are capable of. We Indian’s love Ramayana more, since the god king can take care of all evil. (But, wait a minute did he not go to rescue his wife, if not would Ram have vanquished Ravan?). So, in India even a god needs a selfish reason to remove evil from earth. Why blame a man then, why blame one person then. We always analyze the effect rather than the cause when was the last time we celebrated our festivals in the same way as we did I past, when was the last time we brought people together and done something nice to unite them, Celebrated together and cherished the goodness that is around. We are but animals when there is no beautiful culture around us, we cave into the animal self and engage in violence; go assault women to satisfy the animal need. Women don’t make it easy these days either, there freedom in dressing doesn’t help the men who have already caved into the animal self.

We are animals, who have no control on things, ruthlessly destroying everything around us. Only in our traditions I saw men, praying to the rain god, thanking the god for hard grown food, our ancestors were men. But, we go wild, party hard, waste food, go in cars and pollute this planet, don’t care of other who suffer, beware no one will care for us then. We are animals after all, many of which have gone extinct and many are disappearing in this planet. Why are we worrying for a single person in this billion, but are we really worrying. What are we doing to help the worrying go away, other than to just talk of it till we forget it. We care more of our self than we care for others. We have become selfish, which is again a part of an animal instinct.  We are animals after all.

No matter how hard we try we cannot ignore the animal inside us.  If we start giving into it, we will enjoy it, but you will only be an animal.  

The positives of this IPL for CSk and Dhoni.

For even the best focused men can fall down in the wrong places and go in the wrong directions to lose their cool and the focus that they had. I saw a great come back in this IPL and the greatest comeback of all is the one of the CSK, they were going down crashing at one stage and kept alive only with each player doing their part and playing their heroics at different stages of the game.  It was never a one man’s game; I for one got inspired by their unity and strength in dependence on each other. For in all this a single revival stands apart the rest of it all. An individual was coming back out of all the evils that were haunting him from the past, MS Dhoni is the man. I saw the face dull and down, with the past clearly haunting his game, decision and choice. The man truly needed a comeback, and he did regain his charm not by his own will but the spirit of the team that brought him back slowly but effectively. I for once focused more on this man than any part of the game, to be true the man whose face grew brighter with each miraculous win and his words more relaxed after every match a clear sign of the effect of team on the man (If people said it was fixed and if I were true I would rather think it to be false after seeing this alteration in a man in a season). If this can do to a man with the right team, the team I support will always be the Csk and the people in them. I am hopeful that this team can support itself to come back any number of times as long as it has its members. They just showed that a lost match, will not lead them to lose their spirit.

Drama’s in my life.

I was wondering how some stories of co incidence where utter nonsense not today in my life it wasn’t.

 Closing time for my MBA as arrived with a job in an hand I am few of the blessed with this gift. But, I was not to relish this joy easily. I was having an attendance lack in a subject and that might prevent me to graduate and going to the company to join is not possible then. Hmm, I was desperate I kept in control and finally one day I decided to go and clear this problem by talking to the people who can help. ( I was wrong) I went to the college at 1:30 pm; I went to the staff room to start the pleading process. The newly joined staff was reluctant to meddle with the system and so told me to go meet the HOD to resolve this. So I decided to enter the “ROOM”, to meet HOD “Help Of Day”. I went inside had to be all extra nice, politely asked “how are you sir” “how is running the college going”. He answered in one word “it’s all good”. ” Shoot I used up all the buttering and smoothening ammo in one go”. It was time I had to tell him the reason for my coming and the roar was never louder to me. “Karma” surely is not very kind all the mischief and bunking of classes was brought to my eyes by the HOD (Hell of day), His words bringing images back to my head better than the 3D movies I saw bunking the classes. It was one of the times when a staff in his all his rage shall bring upon all the mistakes your entire batch as made upon one person. This is was that time; I can no longer bare the suffering of this decided to create sympathy with HOD (Heart of Day). By mentioning how I cannot join job if I am not allowed to write exam because of attendance lack. Hmm, He paused for a second it was not for the best of reasons.

FLASH BACK: Going back to the past, not thinking it’s important to tell the Hod that I got placed I ignored telling him. 
A second Roar followed “you got placed and you didn’t even inform me and now you want me to help you to join the job, why should I care?”. I had to act fast and put down the fire. Worked the imaginative mind to save me, one good thing came up and I told two lies to save my day

1 “Sir I did not tell anyone about this” Why a lie? (As soon as I got the offer letter the only one who might not have known about it in the college about my placement is the HOD and may be the gate watch man who is far away from all the scene I created.)

2 “I waited to tell the news with sweets” Why a lie? (As soon as every soul started giving away sweets and ice cream to staff for getting placed after me, the only thing I did was grab their sweets and ice creams to eat)

Yes, roar subsided but the problem didn’t. I had nothing more against him anymore,  I had to take a break went to senior staff for further consultations and went back to the ROOM to meet HOD (Hope of Day) he finally took pity and relented. So, agreeing to edit my data and make absence as OD. When all is going fine and while he was about to enter it, I promise this was true “came running the mam on whose subject I have attendance lack saying” do not put attendance for that guy” the time struck 4.00 pm in the clock and all the time I spent doing a attendee job for HOD all the 3 hours staying in his ROOM just got wasted. My Jaw dropped, I was shocked and my brain went to coma stage unable to think. She started explaining and I heard nothing till she told me that I had more than required attendance and it was a system error. I literally shouted “God this is too much”. 

Sony Ericsson Txt or ck13i review

Sony Ericsson Txt Cost me 6050 Rs Or equal to 121 US $ with a discount in a Sony Ericsson show room in Chennai, this is one of the last of the Sony’s non touch phones. Being, not a huge fan of touch phones and looking for a budget phone, I needed no excuse to by this phone. The various complaints of phone getting stuck up, did stop me to think. But, due to lack of key pad based budget phones, I came back to this option.

Things that I have read on the net before buying Sony Ericsson Txt…

1)    Absence of 3g connectivity.

2)    Phone battery charge hold is not that good.

3)    Key pad keys are very small.

4)    There is no option to mute the shutter sound of camera.

5)    Phone gets stuck frequently.

6)    Picture quality is not that great.

7)    Provision of unnecessary options. ( like “friends”, Apps like “You tube”, picasa” )

What I observed in Sony Ericsson Txt

1)    Camera sound can be muted by switching the phone to silent mode.

2)    Wi-Fi option though present drains the battery very fast, other than that the battery last’s better than expected.

3)    Key pad typing takes a while adjusting to but after some time it’s not that bigger deal.

4)    Phone gets stuck when movie is watched in it and games  are pushed little too much. 

5)    Camera picture quality is good for this price. But, the picture is still better when seen in computer.

6)    Speaker sound is really good and since the mobile display is very bright the battery life increases if darker picture is used as wall paper.

Problems I Felt, other than what i read

1)    The display is very bright even after the brightness is reduced to the least.

2)    Opening the phones back cover is sometimes a challenge.

3)    No short cut options to access the running application from the outside 

On the whole a good buy, if you can get over all the challenges it posses. If you are a person who wants to buy a product and enjoy it stay clear of Sony Ericsson Txt, last of its kind from the Sony Ericsson collection.  

Complaint to sony ericsson service center provided a good result after they updated the mobile software the phone speed is reasonably well and some options that were not working well started responding. After updating i can play some games by adjusting the game screen size. The software can also be updated through the Sony web page, the only problem is you need a data cable and its not provided with this Model
