Happy Moment...!!!

Since a few days i am in a state of trance...literally...First Dj Tiesto entranced us with his type of music and then in a state of NIRVANA...Though I havent started doping yet but the feeling is awesome while being in a state such as it...The state of lowest energy. Yeah this is what people tell me when I ask them about meditation. The most scientific explaination of it. What is meditation. They tell me in a very simple way, suppose if you are standing in between two tracks from where u observe trains come and go on either side. You just observe and not react. That is how meditation works. They say we should avoid thinking while meditating, and just observe thoughts running in our mind. But not to delve in it more than what is required, I have been so calm and thoughtless that my mind has started to enjoying it. Avoiding stupid debates, conversations, INTROSPECTION, reviews. just living the moment. While doing it I am so happy that I am not even expecting more. This is a happy moment of the day for me. A moment that can really pep up my mood that will take me through a whole day happily. A happy moment is what is expected to be found in a day and then needs to be held on to and not get affected by any other depressing event/incident through out the day.
Reading a broach of "Happy Moment" I used to wonder it really meant. I now understand it always used to encourage these few moments in a day. Moments like encouragements from a boss (yeah thats on my mind constantly), mastee with friends, realizations, feeling great after work (only to get relieved from the 8 hour jail tenure). Its an experience which has kept me in a state which is unaffected from any hampering developments which may affect us if thought upon seriously. Its an experience which i wish is felt by all.

Hope this blog is a part of your Happy Moment...!

We dig into it...!!

It started about ten to twelve years ago when the mobile phone was introduced to the indian market...!!! Rs 16 per out going call and Rs 8 for the incoming...!! I still remember the day when I spoke for the first time on the bulky Motorola handset and I said mom "I am talking from a taxi..!!" That was one amazing day for me..(cmon i was a kid then..!) Then came college when we used to take calls only if the name flashed on the cell phone..!! waah woh bhi kya din the...!!! We used to sms free. Leading to an era of "the schemes" for the smses and the calls. Still in college i never had a phone but used to crave for one. Phir jab mere haath mein aaya phone toh used to go flashing it all around that i had the "smallest" (phone)...u perverts..!

"Karlo Duniya Muthi mein" era followed. Who would have thought that it will make me write this blog. Firstly pay for a phone that we could buy for a mere Rs 500. and then make calls at 40 paise. STD calls also were dirt cheap. Handsfree flooded the markets. My friends literally used every penny of it. Their phone bills kept soaring high. I kept juggling between the thought of having a post paid connection. Then repented after an aching bill was thrown in my face. I switched back to Pre-paid and took all possible schemes to save the money for a year.

Now, While staying in a place which is filled with young guns who have just tasted blood in large pay cheques, I wonder how and where do they spend so much of it. I dont have to look hard. i see people walk around talking to "somebody" on the phone. I am still walking and i realise that if we dont have anything to do we just pick up our phone and start yapping the night through with that special intrest or stupidly keep smsing the forwards. Spending anything between Rs 1000 to 1200 for a month is such a common phenomenon. Also,i see a special bunch. I am in my dear cafeteria and this guy is talking on the phone while his friends are shouting at him asking him to join them for dinner, but he is busy talking to someone. The whole thing is that people are so addicted to their mobile phones that they are ready to take all the abuse just to enjoy that happy moment with their "then" favorite person. Never realising how they are screwing up the other relationships. Bluetooth, radio, xMP camera, yGB space, touch screens is such a routine to hear that ppl are wanting more. These days everyone has been craving for a thing, a gizmo that will be found if lost by just being able to beep it. "Cant find it,then just buzz it yaar", will be a very common dialogue which i am expecting to hear very soon, for anything but your mobile, in the future. Weve forgotten a simple fact that we used to even survive when the mobile phones were not around, and still maintain the punctuality of meetings. With a mobile in hand everyone has got into such a laid back lifestyle that it has started ruining it all that it started for. A Facility not a Necessity. Addiction is dangerous and a mobile phone is definitely one more to the list....!!!!
