Thinking technically..

Almost 1,750,000 years ago a bridge (Rama's Bridge) was built between India (Rameshwaram) and Lanka (know as Sri Lanka in modern age). Forget the epic "Ramayana" and just think about of those people who were the architect of this bridge who can make a bridge, chain of shoals, of 18 mi (30 km) long, in the Palk Strait between India and Sri Lanka।

It can be easily concluded that how strong the architecture of that age was. In this modern technology age where we have several modern equipments available we cannot even think of making such type of bridges.

Now it's a question worth million dollar that where did such a intense thinking about architecture design gone? I think that, technology should improve as the time passes and we should be able to make better architectures. Now if we see that Rama's bridge was made 1,750,000 years ago, so after 1,750,000 we should be able to at least make a bridge on say Pacific Ocean. But that is not the case.

Also if we consider this epic (Ramayana) true (on the grounds of Rama's Bridge) then in Ramayana, there was a aerial car (known as Pushpak Viman) that travels with the speed of mind and it was able to grow large and small at a wish. Now in this modern age we are able to make aerial car but still it cannot fly with the speed of mind, so we are lacking in technology compared to that age's technology.

At this point my only question is "where has all that technological thinking gone?"

Tommy Love

He was one of my classmates. One day he told one of my friend that he saw a greeting card "Tommy Love". My friend was amazed!!. He thought that its a very strange thing that now a days there were greeting cards for dogs too.
Anyways, he thought he should see those type of special cards himself. On weekend he went with my classmate and asked him to show the special card. Without any delay my classmate brought that card.
A series of laughter broke when he saw that card for "To My Love".

Waaaah Taj....

Finally the pride and glory of The Great India "The Taj Mahal" again got the esteemed position in New 7 Wonders list. Thanks to those (all across the globe) who voted for Taj and helped it in maintaining a position in the 7 wonders list.
But how worth the voting system is? How can the result of thing of such a great importance be highly dependent on public votes? Are these votes really important or its just a business strategy?
If a monument of a immence populated country is choosen for the race and the other monument is of the country with very low population and if the public votes are going to play a big role in the result then.... everyone knows what will happen...
It's always right to have public opinion, and thats what the judges are made for. The sole responsibility of the judges are to take public opinion, apply their logic and give the result (with certain explanations) that should be acceptabe by everyone.
I see these public voting as a big business. A business that does not bother about emotions of general people. A business by which people will loose their charm/excitement for any competition.

Not only 7 wonders, I see that all the competitions want public votes and the results of some of the competitions are only dependent on public votes.

Thanks to some sports in which the competitor has to show his ability, instead of relying on public votes, to be a winner. Believe me if this happens the same way as it is now then the day is not far when there will be no competitors at all from least populated regions.

What!! Technology.... huuuh

I called "Customer Care" of a very reputed "Cell Phone Service Provider" as I lost my cell phone somewhere. I asked them that how can they help me in tracing my lost cell phone. The only answer that I got from them was "we cannot trace the cell phone, and we cannot do anything in finding your lost cell phone". They did not even bother to make effort in finding my phone, instead they started telling me the rates of new cell phones that I can take in replacement of my lost cell phone.
Everyone should be aware of the fact that there are multiple technologies available by which a service provider can easily trace cell phone's location. I doubt what these technologies are for if the service providers are not utilizing them to help valuable customers for their misfortune.

Bond of Friendship...

There is only one bond by which all classes, species, worlds and creeds can transcend every barrier so that one living being is bound forever with another, and that is The Bond of FRIENDSHIP. It is a bond that lays no condition, no mutual gifts given nor any petty counting. It'll transcend selfishness and egoism. It's a bond in which only one thing is given mutually and that is, Love.
Friendship can be between a king and a beggar. Friendship is sacred. A friend doesn't consider whether his friend is powerful, whether his friend has wealth or status.
The first duty as a friend should be to share your friend's sorrow first and joys later. A friend who forgets his sorrow but remembers the sorrow of his friend, his greatness is such that let alone man even God can't proclaim. A true friend is one, who to make his defeated friend victorious again will sacrifice what's dearest to him. A friend is one who without being asked is ready to lay down his life for a friend.
To honor friendship if a friend has to commit a sin and thence suffer in hell, it should be acceptable. This is the only ideal of friendship and should be a vow to all friends.
