Communication

I wake up in morning with a miss call from my brother. Its a signal for me to logon to my yahoo and start chatting. Ditto, I do that. I logon to yahoo and start talking with them. Yes! I talk with my brother and parents over yahoo messenger. So nice feeling. Then I see my friends start calling them. We have long converstions and gala time as if I am face to face with them.

I love playing chess and used to miss partners. For ignorant chess cannot be played alone and I am not that good that I can play with blue supercomputer. Now I just logon to yahoo and enjoy the game.

Ten years past no one would have imgained anything like this. As school kid I had never thought that world would be so small. I used to get astonised by pen friends concept itself. Now we have email friends. Being in touch, getting to know about others, knowing about the world has become so easy. So what should I expect in wordl when I grow older? Will be able to find another another earth? Will people start travlling to moon as if someone is going to paris or autralia. Cars I am sure would be running on solar energy. Dependency on coal and petroleum is bound to reduce to minimal. So many things can happen differently. Who knows what lies for us in future.

Small things matter

So what are things which make you feel you are in familiar environment. I was amazed when I noticed presence of crow on west coast of US. I suddenly realized I was missing the sight of crow on east coast. Now does crow have any value in my life. Not at all !!! Its just that having brought up in Mumbai ( old Bombay) I am used to seeing them all around. Does hectic life of traveling in bus or watching tram go by relax someone. Yes !!! Traveling in bus, reading novels in bus, listening to Music in bus reminds me of my college days where most of the studies and timepass happened in local train travel.

Somehow a bit of business in life is good for health. Atleast I feel that way. One cannot sit idle, relaxing a lot for days together. So here goes my Salute to another hectic day ahead :-)

Bengalaru Vs Bangalore

I read the news today morning that government is again planning to change Bangalore to some other name. <http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/articleshow/1328843.cms>

I cannot spell that place right now. What kind of patriotism is this? Under what pretext these Babus are trying to change all popular places in India?

I fail to understand whats the reason for doing this. What difference in economy and image did someone see after Bombay was changed to Mumbai? People still tend to use Bombay. Are politicians refering to some Numerologist to get good score on city name?

Too many questions crop up in my mind when I hear something of this kind.
