Having said that, I always had an allergy towards computer languages. Dont get me wrong, I am not talking about that usual Excel, Word, Internet & the other day to day stuff. I am talking about those things behind those applications. Those codes. When I was taking training in those horrid stuff, which all college goer was crazed to do, during my college days, I used to wonder what are these "Virtual" stuff they are talking about?? How can an "address" be, when there are actually no houses??? Now, you understand what I mean?????
Computer Language = Allergy. Similarly, spirituality = allergy. How can you ask me to believe in something I cannot see? God is also Virtual isnt it? So I somehow equated Computer Language = Spirituality. Interesting n'est pas? That's the reason, I have always tried to maintain a distance with both. These things were always beyond my understanding!! Bouncers really.
But when reality meets virtuality or in my words Technology/Spirituality meets reality....its really an interesting watch. This brings in the concept of "Maaya" the "Illusion" so clearly out, that you can never miss out the fun!! Take these instances....
One of those days scenarios, where people used to dance in a trance, listening to either slokas or bhajans being sung. They call it "Saami vandhuduthu". I used to run away from those people. I used to wonder how is this saami coming only to those people & pass on messages?? Something that I can still never understand.
These days scenarios.......How can we miss these???? These are even more comic than people dancing in Godly trance. I don't think anyone would have missed out seeing a person either shouting out "oh yeah!!" in a silent bus. After hearing a shriek, we suddenly wake from the sleep to realise this person has been in an mp3 player trance!! Or should I say most of us are those people in this trance???
This Maya situation is much more common with husbands. The minute the wife starts talking, they get so interested in the app in their hand. Either angry birds or that stupid chase game. But don't we wives take advantage of these situations? We get an Yes for all the usual No answers at that time ;) Its that simple....Maayaa Maaya!!!
One day I was eating breakfast & a colleague entered the office. I called his name & wished him "Good morning" Suddenly he says " Sure sure, I will join you shortly" I am flabbergasted!! Why is he joining me? I hardly have enough breakfast for me. Later, I was to find out, this colleague doesn't even remember saying these things to me!!! All FM radio trance!!
This world is definitely a very funny place to live in. Made more funny by these technologies & the Maaya it creates around us!!!! Long live Spirituality...I mean...Technology!!! All the same isn't it??
