Hyperconnection

   The worst feeling in the world is to bid one's time for something to happen..The more bizarre thing is not knowing what to do while waiting!

   I felt this pain(:P) when my battery powered bestie was shut off and finally unconscious..Adding to the effect was WiFi connection which  was in my state of mind too waiting for its bug to be fixed.Oh well i don't have belief in cascading effects be it an operating system or real life.But this day made me to..After a great silence,my least accessed source..Television too turned back..

   I exclaimed that it might have stumbled upon owing to my inner wish on grazing an article that went on like "..as hyper-connectivity increases the ability to focus decreases..".But how did my inner wish come true??

   The silence was good indeed!!As per idea given by the great mind i pushed myself into study room hopefully to complete assignments :P. Haaha my crazy mind doesn't know i'm distracted to books peeping out of my closet(obviously not the textbooks).

    Remember the day when I had a robust discussion with my best buddy "why don't we feel contented while being online??"After a long time felt happy to be distracted and deeply connected :)
Something connected this state of mind and magnetic headline of a book "You can't live with them and you can't live without them"

Overrated Normals

Overrating  everywhere!!  
                  Be it the movie you plan for weekend  that behold sordid stuffs with bang super stars,.. Yes they are just entertainment until the truly deserving one’s  are misplaced. Poor fate of India when a movie left unnoticed here but bags international awards.
                 Just a bean worth 500 bucks?! The coffee is over roasted, then over brewed, then left on the heat too long. and on top of that it's way over priced.The recent obsession for  Starbucks and CCD in India just to show off is totally hideous.Thanks to the person who introduced my daily opium,the desi filter coffee.
                More disgusting are overrated authors!!those guys who write some typo errors garnished with immature fantasies, earn fame for their Alma matter by representing themselves as “voice of youth”. Well the good is less expressed..again the ratio matters:P A touch of commercial film indeed !!

             Falling in love. Everyone goes on and on about it.  There is a whole genre of books and movies selling the concept of love. But it’s a crappy feeling. Being in love feels like... It's like being hurt. Falling in love feels like being run over by a truck without being mortally injured. (haha the above line is strictly copied)..But when I see my pals it strikes “There are lot more stuffs to do too in your 20’s”.
              And finally the hypocrisy of Society,ancient laws..and the claims that it is TRADITION.

The rat race

       



   For an Indian the race to be ahead of everyone else begins in his childhood- Tutions, School Classes, Olympiads,  Coaching, graduation, Tech Job, fight for promotion, the biggest house. Only when you are old enough you learn to look back in retrospect and wonder if it was all worth it and if a big house with a pool was all you wanted from your life. So stop for once and think. Do not run after things you have no interest in because society thinks it is important.
               

    Be the biggest, fastest, bad ass rat you can be.  They get  the best digs, hang with the cool chicks, and yes escape maze and eat the sweet cheese too!!.  It might look like a rat race but when you're a rat,it's just a race. What's wrong with winning? ohh..but wait.. Being in a rat race is the worst thing you can do to yourself. Because even if you win the race, you are still a rat!!

Treasured hamlet

It’s something that I always feel crazy about,..its neither an edible nor a spirit :P the lesser known treasure of India.The elysian feel of its architecture do some eurekha sort of miracle in me every time..
 I'm going to go with something contemporary. The following is the Palace which stands tall and fully functional even today at Kanadukathan, a remote village in Tamil Nadu, India. 


Chettinad, a community formed by the people of South Tamilnadu called Chettiyars or Nagarathars were people who were financially shrewd. These people in the early 1900s went to various foreign and neighboring nations and made loads of money. Rather than bringing home the money, they brought Burmese teakwood, Italian marble, Spanish floor tiles, and Belgium mirrors.

                       

     
This is the entrance arch that is present in almost every
 Chettinad House. The entrance piece was usually made with Burmese Teak and intricate chiseling. Easily worth a million bucks today. 


These are the Verandahs. Most auspicious functions like marriages take place here.Believe it or not I’m staring at this picture for past 10 minutes :P


The Wooden Pillars are also ever present in most  Chettinad houses!!These pillars like the walls are made with a special mix known as the"Chettinad Plaster" which contains egg white to give it a shiny appearance even after all these years!
A recent trend in tourism has diffused the glory of this place to great lengths.But still much more treasures here are the at verge of fall owing to urbanization..Hope it will be there to cherish it’s beauty till doomsday!!

Even-steven relationships


If you are happy right now it’s not because that everything is going good..But because the relationship that matters the most to you is going great!!

You get out of a closed space and enter into a real world where your peers would try to beat you, your senior official might command, the impulsiveness to groom yourself step up and your folks expecting your beneficence.


With relationships comes the word expectations!!The crunch arise when a relationship is left unmanaged in the lust of expectations..The ratio is what matters..

Next comes our emotions..wonder why a person with emotion is treated naive often..!It's about avoiding emotional drama and not emotions after all this differentiates "human".Staying expressive worth much more than emoji icons :P 

When we lay foundation to career,health,life as a whole.,relationships sink.Well, even gods had their trouble in sustaining relationships..Experience goofing up sometimes but peace demands a master in this art :)

Smartness pays..well not the smartphones!!

Everywhere - bus, meeting, restaurant, friends and so on, your eyes are always down - staring at the smartphone. Maybe someone has liked your photo on FB, upvoted your answer - common on - get some air! Check your surroundings - see that baby is smiling at you, there is sadness in your friend's eyes that can't be expressed in words - there is so much happiness around you,that appstore can't get you..

To say you will begin to experience so uncommon things around.They were uncommon since a sort of digital displacement was there in between.You would grow more expressive in real life which was lacking before.This digital displacement is the worst thing that can clutch any empty space :P

you'll have more time then. This might be so because of the change in the way you socialise or because you quit some smart phone thing, nevertheless, you'll have a lot of time compared to before. Your thumbs are not always fatigued.



You'll get to have more face-to-face conversations with people who  are around you. You could see this as a good or a bad thing. I don't want to judge this effect. All I'll say is that it happens.


And finally constantly speaking isn't conversating...Real friends do remember you without these stuffs ;)
