My Life ... My Journey

It's been long since I decided to play a game on my mobile phone. The reason - every time I start playing games, I get addicted to them. I got myopia playing video games in childhood. Getting back to the point, I decided to play game to understand if it can simulate my brain and get me to use the rusty parts of the brain. The game works on a very simple concept. You are the mayor of a city. You are given a small townhouse and some money. You have to build the infrastructure, facilities, demarcate zones, run the economy of the city. While it may sound complicated, it starts with simple steps and has levels where as you gain experience, you move up the levels. New levels unlock new buildings, features, resources, capabilities and/ or money. The app nicely uses a prompt section called quest - which work like simple tasks and as you complete them, you get rewarded. You need to keep a look at supply and demand for different resources and how the population is faring. While, I enjoyed it...

I recently watched the film by Anand Gandhi. the movie was awarded the Best Feature Film at the National Film Awards. The starting frames allude to the eponymous thought experiment that whether  a ship which was restored by replacing each and every one of its wooden parts remained the same ship . The movie is composed of three smaller stories. The first story is of a blind photographer who tries to visualize things through her camera.

She comes across as an unfazed indomitable spirit who refuses to keep any accidental good clicks for it represents something which she hadn...

As I set to write this post, two things are remarkable :- It is after a long time I am posting on my blog. (Never tired of being lazy) It may be a race against time as the internet goes in 12 minutes. (restrictions are omnipresent) It is the latter I would talk about. Internet has coem a long way from its use as Darpanet by US Army to becoming a necessity of modern life. You no longer need special LAN wires to access it. It has become as ubiquitous as gossip. (comparison just for the sake of it ;) ) Even the mobiles can be used to access net. The world wide web today allows us to be aware of what's new, gain information regarding specific fields, do research, stay connected with friends and family, play games, look for job to do invest money, do shopping, read books and what not. And because of the versatile nature of internet , it has assumed such a great place in our life. Of course internet has its advantages. Who would deny it. But what amount of time we should spend onl...

In the calm of the night the tick-tick of the clock increases and the time lonely seems to fly by collecting the accounts of everyone's deeds While humans are asleep, their luck is decided by the actions of the past by the Creator of All Freedom of action; freedom to use time freedom to choose one's own fate He is the judge, we are the players blessed to live, the way we want Thou shall waste thy precious time But look o look! the time passes by ....
