Are we becoming e-addicts?

Day before yesterday, I came across an article in Pune Mirror. It was about the Muktangan's program launched for de addiction of e addicts that is internet addicts. It just made me think a bit. Are we really getting addicted to the internet? Can we find about something without 'googling' it? I think our brain has stopped working because of google.Everybody is talking about social networking sites, blogging, emails and e shopping. In addition to that there is youtube, online games and what not?
But we should give a thought for this. Can't we really live without internet? let us live a day without internet per week at least. Our world is full of addictions like orkut, facebook, chatting and many more things. If there is any query, we just ask help from google. Is this really going to work everytime? Google also doesn't have answers to all questions. We spend 4-5 hours daily on internet. Can't we utilise this time properly? Worth giving a try. Isn't it?
One day one of my cousin's wedding discussion was going on. Everybody was trying their best to find suitable match for her. In the discussion my four year old niece was participating actively. She was very excited and said "if shaadi.com is there then why to worry?" We were shocked. This is all the effect of internet.
No doubt internet has brought a great revolution. Many things like online shopping , net banking are possible now. our efforts for the same are reduced considerably. But everything in moderation is always good. We don't have time for our loved ones because of this. Everyone wants to update their status on facebook. Each event in our lives is published on twitter. Is this publicity really necessary? Many bad things are happening because of internet.
last but not the least now, every coin has two sides. We must use internet to be in touch with our loved ones. Its a great source of information so we must take its advantage. S let us update our status form e addicts to moderate internet users. Lets tweet about this on the micro blogging site and be happy in this cyber life. :)

A poem by Sandeep Khare

आयुष्य म्हणजे कटकट..
जगण्यासाठी रोज कामाच्या ओझ्याखाली मराव लागतं
सुखाचा मोती मिळवायला दु:खाच्या सागरात बुडावं लागतं

आयुष्य म्हणजे वणवा....
इथे वेदनांना घेउन जळावं लागत
पोटाच्या आगीसाठी वणवण पळावं लागतं

आयुष्य म्हणजे अंधार...
इथे काळोखात बुडाव लागतं
परस्परांच्या बुद्धीप्रकाशाने इच्छित स्थळ शोधाव लागतं

आयुष्य म्हणजे पाऊस....
आप्तांची रखरखता पुसण्यासाठी मुक्तपणे कोसळाव लागतं
कष्टांच्या खाच खळग्यातुन वाहत सुखसागराला मिळाव लागतं

पण ...आयुष्य हे असेच का ?
मला वाटते .. आयुष्य म्हणजे तान्हुल्याचे हास्य
जिथे स्वत:ही मुक्त कंठाने हसता येत.
आपण अनुभवताना दुसर्‍यालाही सुख देता येतं.

The Little Humming Bird!:)

The Little Humming bird!!!!

The another day,I was just looking out of the window. It was a cloudy and humid day.The weather was too boring and my mood too. I was about to complain about the weather but my eyes just fell on the branch of a tree near my window.There was a small humming bird trying to build its nest.Everytime it was trying to build it ,it was falling down.But the bird used to go again,build it.Again it used to fall down.This went on for half an hour.But finally the little beautiful creatures efforts and mainly the ‘keep on trying’attitude won. His herculian effort resulted into a beautiful nest of which a skilled architect would also envy.
They say life is full of compromises.Everyone at some point of time is doing compromise.What we do in everyday life is just a part of the game. We are the clowns and the life is a big circus!
But isn’t it a very conservative way of thinking?Just see here and there with your eyes wide open ,you’ll realize the beautiful side of life.Take the life as it comes!Life is very short but if we really want to live life,we can make it really long,long like an unending story. This may sound like a lecture of philosophy.But worth giving a thought,isn’t it?
‘Sukhi manasacha sadra’nawachi ek goshta lahanpani wachali asel na tumhi. Tya rajasarakhi awastha whayala nako asel tar majhha funda nakkich ajmawun bagha.The pleasure of life is in very small small things. Whenever you find something really pleasurable,share it with someone.These small small things will give you immense pleasure that will flood your heart.
. This may be any poem,a small piece of cake or it can be 4 lines of senti shayari. You just sing a song even you feel like everybody will laugh at you. One day they will realize your potential and they will have to think of you. Its just not about singing but anything you feel like doing from your heart,do it. Don’t think so much.Small sacrifices done for our loved ones will be of long term benefits. And listen,these are not sacrifices but are investments those will help you in your long term journey called ‘life’. Never think like,’why always me?’,Take these things as opportunities to prove yourself. And see life will be very colorful like a rainbow.
And always remember in this world full of colors, there is someone in some corner of the world who is there, for you always.Just be yourself and I promise you you will never regret. This reminds me of just one line of a poem,it is a poem in marathi.Kusumagrajanchi kavita,dahavit hoti amhala.’Sir,pathiwar hat theun fakta ladh mhana’.This one line has changed my life.Whenever I feel low , I just remember this line and think of one of my teacher saying that line.I feel very high like I am above the clouds. And after that I am ready to face the problem in front of me. I’ll do anything to solve it and will be happy after it gets resolved.
They say be optimistic. But what I say is just be ‘selfimistic’. Just be yourself and the world will be yours. So give this a thought.I hope you will.
Are yaar think both ways,positive and negative (lekin thodasa) otherwise you know what are the consequences of one way traffic. [:P]. Before missing the the train (offcourse not the jab we met fame:))just pull the chain and you will see the train running with full swing and whistling ‘jindagi ek safar hai suhana yaha kal kya ho kisne jana????.....’
