spare a moment of thought

There are many things we take for granted in our day-to-day life. I would want to appeal to you all to spare a moment of thought to whatever you come across daily which you think plays the most important role. It may be your car, shoe, cell phone, toothbrush or wrist watch.

Let us think that there was nothing called as a toothbrush. There was no concept of brushing your teeth. Assume that William Addis( Inventor of toothbrush - and yeah i googled it out) didn't have his moment of truth. Also assume that nobody else thought of a toothbrush (ahh!!! i think i have conveyed my point). Now imagine how people in this civilized society would be going about their day lives. Get up in the morning, have a cup of coffee, go to bathroom, get ready, have breakfast, go to work/school. Well, seems like a daily morning routine. There is something missing which nobody would even guess. At this point i am trying to imagine how i would be talking to my peers without brushing my teeth.

Today i take this moment to thank my laptop. It is currently playing the most important role in my life. It has been about an year since i bought it. It has been with me during my ups and downs. It stares at me every time i stare at it. It is always there for me when i am bored. It is a multipurpose interface which helps me in my studies, entertainment, speaking to my loved ones online. It is the second thing i think about when i begin my day. It was away for a while from me when it had to undergo a replacement surgery. Now it is back and is as good as it was before. The best part is that i am using it to write this blog.

I plan to come up with a name for it. Someday.

A wonderful thought.

I was just trying to recall the stuff that my friends kept on telling me when we were trying to waste time. You will be surprised to know what goes through people's mind when it is just left free and thoughts start to flow. I am really amazed by this wounderful unsolved mystery called mind.

On one such occasion vamsi(my buddy) said something that complete baffled me. He said and i quote "In every person's life, he is the hero" (or heroine). It didn't make a lot of sense to me then even though i thought that it was a perspective which i had never bothered to consider. But i started to give it a thought when i was on my long way back home (1 hour :o journey in the bangalore rush hour). Everyone might at most times think of him/her being the main character in this real movie and all others just play a part in the movie of life. I guess most of us would not even thought about it untill someone points it out. This is one of the glaring proofs of how self-centred a man can be. There might be many of you who will disagree on this.However to draw a line and show the distinction, i dont think that this can be called selfishness. I dare not call this selfishness. If that is the case then everyone, living or dead is a selfish person.
