12Comments Getting a hobby..

Yesterday I realized that my pass time activity is dependent of availability of internet, computer, electricity, friends/players, tt table or mobile..
I wanna change that.. I want some hobby which's independent of all these things.. I've started learning guitar again.. This time I'm not joining any class.. I'll be learning at home..

I was just thinking about how we are now almost totally dependent on all these things now.. Those days are now almost gone when people used to collect stamps or coins or even matchbox covers as a hobby :)

btw, if you have any hobby independent of all these things n also not depended on whether itsa day or night lemme know :)
PS: plz don't suggest book reading.. :P

3Comments There's no right or wrong..

Sometimes, I think Lord Voldemort was 'right' saying -

"There is no such thing as right and wrong. There is only power and those too weak to seek it."

When you actually think about it, you'll understand how weird the concept 'rightness' or 'wrongness' is..

Why its not as simple as truth or lie.. The truth is a fact. but Rightness is a relative term.. hmm.. thats why...

You can't be just right.. you will have to have a set of rules which decide whether you are right or wrong. I find it interesting that even if you are telling truth you can be wrong.. on the other hand even if you're lying you can be right..

Also, to make it worse, its not even a boolean term like true/false.. you can be 'totally right' or 'kinda right'.. :) May be that depends on how closely are you following those rules.

From this.. I can see how difficult a job of jury can be..

0Comments btw.. Bought a new home.. :)

I shifted my blog to - http://prajwalit.com :)
most probably will shift it to blog.prajwalit.com in a few days..

10Comments Creating virtual reality

Ok. I like some funky post titles. Here, by virtual reality, I don't want to say anything about Life2 or other virtual reality game. I want to put my points on human behavior (again big words :)
So, after spending 16 hours, I've come across some really interesting things that I'd like to share.
Rather, I wanna put those in some place like blog so that I can look at it after few years n check whether those were true for me.
See, how I live my life, and how my friends/family think I live my life, is ideally should be same. But I think, its impossible. In fact, I purposefully, consciously,  make sure they don't know about my 'internal affairs'. [And I think this applies to everybody].
Let me explain, you share your thoughts, experiences, emotions with people you care. Do you share everything? No. you share only those things that you think are either neutral or really nice. You also share some bad thoughts  'As long as it's not related to them'. I'll not go n tell my friend that I hate this this you do.. If I can, I'll most probably just ignore it.. You still hate it.. but you ignore it.. Same thing is other way round. You know or you think this person will hate me if I tell this thing. You choose not to share it.
So the thing is, say you have a big friends group. You always meet in a group. In this case, you cannot tell a single thing you hate about any of them. and you cannot share anything you did, that you think they will hate. So the things you share is less than 50%
These people know me less 50% .. They know the image of myself that I'm creating for them. n vice versa.. I'm sure if I don't know these guys as well as I think. We live in virtual reality.
Crazy eh?

I'll surely enjoy my life now with this realization (sarcasm).. Fake Me gotta go.. so cutting it here.
Enjoy your life now, if you can. or.. curse 'virtual' me if you want.
If you do not think its true, I'm really jealous of you.

~ By Prajwalit, that you think you know. :)

3Comments Half glass full..

So, today I stumbled upon one quote -

Alcohol is not the solution to the problems of our times.....but neither is milk!

Nice one. I wanted to share this with my friends, but the problem was it was originally totally in upper case -

ALCOHOL IS NOT THE SOLUTION TO THE PROBLEMS OF OUR TIMES.....BUT NEITHER IS MILK!

 So I robotically (automatically you may say) opened firebug. wrapped the quote in quotes n called toLowerCase function.


"ALCOHOL IS ... ".toLowerCase().replace("al", "Al");


I wanna consider this as a good sign.. thinking everything *programatically*.
But at the same time it can be a bad sign.. thinking *everything* programatically.
