    Technology

    Was having a talk with my husband, it was so true when he said that technology is developing every minute and getting more and more advanced, deeper and specific.

    Writing this  blog entry makes me feel - gifted, blessed. Owning smart machines that work for you are great to have... they have their own disadvantages but who doesnt? Look! m using this brain in the form of computer to convey my thoughts to many. Earlier communication was so restricted, slow and painful (which we realise only after being spoilt by the comforts and luxories life brings along). I really enjoyed writing letters and posting them, getting the right stamps but the effortless, easy techniques of reaching to friends, family far away has made me get attracted and now m ADDICTED.

    Using my mobile phone to connect to the net, syncing it with my computer and keeping a day to day calendar record, to dos is now so easy... its become a paperless world for me, (now that handmade paper and books are so attractive and easily available:)).

    It was so easy to shift from the olden techniques to newer ways, m wondering why are we so addicted now that we can no longer go back... I know life is about moving ahead but why leave our roots. A kite cannot fly if its not attached to its string, a tree cannot grow fruits if it doesnt have a stem or roots... The point m coming to is that... are we on a baseless ground now? If tomorrow there will be no current, no computers, no charged mobiles we will be lost.. lost in the cave / ditch we have created ourselves..

    So, are the farmers not enjoying the best of lives?  Think about it.

    Life

    "experience is what one gets when the dont get what they want" :) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- With so many things happening around life just does'nt seem like wanting 2 take a hault. In a way its great. I have heard so many people complaining about not having to do anything; atleast mine is different. Got a new mobile device which is now kind of taking over my old love for nokia 6630. Ofcourse this one is more powerful and loaded with features that are going to make my life a lot easier. Let me introduce nokia E51. With using our LAN Network to reading out messages aloud and doing jobs on a voice command; my world is getting stored in this small device. Apart from that have made up my mind to join yoga. Hopefully will enrich me further. Politics has taken a new turn with the gujarat elections. M glad this time atleast the election commission was a little more participative.its nice to have fair elections. Sometimes i think what would it be like to not have any political parties. On elections.just a body of government and good revised laws. I think we could still survive, actually not just survive but progress faster. Imagine our country running beyond the boundaries of curruption and communalism. Well cant just fantacise. There are NGO groups,social societies working towards similar goals. May be we can make a difference. It will be an achievement for me if i can get this blog entry across coz m writing from my phone. Have a great time untill we talk again.

    Slow Dance

      Have you ever watched kids
      On a merry-go-round?
      Or listened to the rain
      Slapping on the ground?

      Ever found a butterfly's erratic flight?
      Or gazed at the sun into the fading night?

      You better slow down.
      Don't dance so fast.
      Time is short.
      The music won't last.

      Do you run through each day
      On the fly?
      When you ask "How are you?"
      Do you hear the reply?

     When the day is done
      Do you lie in your bed
      With the next hundred chores
      Running through your head?

      You better slow down.
      Don't dance so fast.
      Time is short.
      The music won't last.

      Ever told your child
      We'll do it tomorrow?
      And in your haste,
      Not see his sorrow?

      Ever lost touch,
      Let a good friendship die
      Cause you never had time
      To call and say "Hi"?

      You better slow down.
      Don't dance so fast.
      Time is short.
      The music won't last.

      When you run so fast to get somewhere
      You miss half the fun of getting there.
      When you worry and hurry through your day,
      It's like an unopened gift.....

      Thrown away.

      Life's not a race.
      Do take it slower
      Hear the music
      Before the song's over.
