There has been lot of hypes about Todays match in world cup semi-finals 2011 between India and Pakistan. It all started at the moment both India and pakistan got qualified for the semi-final on 24th of this month. Since then it has been full lot of hype in all the whole week. There has been lot of criticism, lot of predictions, lots of prayers and lot of hopes.
Its no wonder as it is the match between India and Pakistan in worldcup semi-finals. It has been an unwritten rule for the fans that no matter who wins the world cup their team shouldn't lose this match against their arch rivals. It has been quite enthusiastic. There has been poor attendance recorded in most of the office today and in many places there are arrangements to telecast the match live for the public in bigger screen. Yes, Its always been better with the bigger crowd that too when the match is so important with the spot in worldcup final at its stake.
Unfortunaltely I couldn't take off today and sit home and watch the match but, thank god they have atleast arranged a live telecast here at office cafeteria. I think it was a good tactic to make the employees support their work at critical time in need and without making them sacrifice their cricket Interest. From the twitter and facebook I could come to a conclusion that almost 75% of the production has been affected because of this match today. Even media protraying it as a war rather than a simple cricket match.
Is this much of exicitement is necessary for this match? Is it all worth it to have so much expectations on this match? We will come to know few hours from now. But, definitely one team and its fans will be satisfied for sure. It could be true on the excitement part why else could i not possibly be concentrating on my work and waiting and watching for the cricket updates right from the moment I logged into my system.
The worth of todays exicitement will be evaluated in few minutes and i wish luck for the teams and hope no blunder happens in the match. wait, I am hearing something ....
It seems that the match telecast in my office has been started. Oh My god need to start to get the good view and reserve a comfortable place. Me Wazzlib signing off expecting a wonderful match ahead.

Ambition
I believe Everyone, might have an Ambition. Good or Bad, they must be working hard to attain their Ambition. People will be ready to do anything to achieve their ambition. These are the common things which everyone might be aware.
I once had this weird thought what happens when you achieve the ambition? You might say I will move on and find a new ambition for myself. But, In this question you have answered one part and most of them do not realize that there are other parts of the question. Let me rephrase the question "what happens to the ambition once you have achieved it?". Would you be treating it the same way as before. I believe the answer from most of you would be no. Then, what exactly happens between you and your ambition once it is achieved.
I believe, Ambition once achieved loses its importance. Before achieving it you will go to any extent to achieve it but after achieving you will no longer give that importance to it. I recall something which i heard about Bhagavad Gita, One of my friend quoted that what is specified in the Bhagavad Gita is just the root of the tree and its upto one's ability to find the correct branch and taste the fruit of it. The Interesting part which i realized is that you will never know that you have tasted all the fruit. There is no reference to someone who has incurred all that is preached in Bhagavad Gita. I would like to recall one other info which i heard about Bhagavad Gita. It would never be same for two different people.
The reason that I brought Bhagavad Gita into picture is to state that the Ambition which are not achieved will retain its importance and the importance of Ambition which are achieved will eventually be faded away. That could be one of the reasons why great secrets are not revealed directly. I have heard many stories of people who are in love are willing to do anything for the loved one but it eventually gets reduced after their marriage. It could be because they are their achieved Ambition. Again, I am assuming here and there could be other reasons as well but it occurs to me that if we generalize this it all comes to the achieved ambition.
One other thing that I wish to specify about is that I hear people saying that my life time ambition is so and so.. blah, blah.., But, What exactly they meant by life time ambition? Is it something that they wish to achieve within their lifespan or is it the final ambition that they wish to achieve it after which they do not want to live? I believe its all up to their vantage point.

I Hate Technology
The Topic really seems funny to me when i started writing about it. We are using the Technology in our day to day life. It keeps us updated about everything happening around our world. It brings the world to our house. How can one hate technology? while using the same technology to express it. It is true that Technology is part of ones day to day life today But I recently started realizing what i am missing with these advanced technology. As I started putting down the list it kept on growing.
It all started with my discussion about the world cup cricket with my cousin. He knows more cricket than me. In fact he was once District player, so whenever we talk about cricket with him it used to be quite interesting. With the Quarterfinals completed we had the discussion about who is going to win the finals. One thing led to the other and finally we end up discussion about the Indian team members. He mentioned that Indian players today though talented were lacking the team spirit which decides the victory for the team. It is obvious isn't it the Indian players were all well settled now, It doesn't matter for them winning or losing for them it is just another game. He also mentioned that there are other teams who are with better spirits and has more chance of winning this cup. They are used to this Hi-Fi culture and lacks the passion in their playing.
The passion which he specified was disturbing me. I then asked myself what is my passion ? Being a computer professional, Is coding my passion ? No, Definitely not. I started to list down the things that i do and whichever i am interested in. But, I couldn't convince myself with any of the things i do as my passion. I am not really getting involved in anything. The reason being that i do not spend my leisure with what i am interested in rather will be watching movies on television, surfing etc,. now even when i go out, I start surfing through my mobile. The latest technology gives everything i want. Its not giving me time for myself.
I like fantasy novels and i used to watch the movies based on the fantasy novels. Though it has all the visual effects and graphics it didnt give me the feel that i got while reading it in books. It lacks my own imagination. The same thing is what current day technology is doing to me. It make me addicted to it and stops me to think. It steals my passion from me. It makes me lazy. Even It disturbs me from writing this blog. I hate it.

Responsibilities
Friends, I have been writing quite a lot about life in past and present and in most of my presentations I would have praised life of people in the past. Many times this question occurred to my mind, "what nature of people in the past interested me so much?". Many of my other blogs speak about various qualities that I liked. Every time I write, I start with the intention of justifying my belief but, could not possibly end in the satisfying way. I used to finish it off without the complete satisfaction. With the hope of achieving it at some time I continue to write.
I used to drive a lot, be it two wheeler or four wheeler. The one big problem for people owning vehicle is parking. Today in India, if you plan to drive by yourself you need to start a bit early so that you will get a parking lot. In most of the commercial places you will not be able to find any parking lot available. People started making money out of it and they started collecting parking fee in most of the places. Every time I get the parking ticket and park my vehicle there will be a big sign on the wall saying "Parking at owners risk". This sign made me thinking if parking is at my own risk, then what is the need that i pay parking fee. Why is the guy who collects parking fee is not taking responsibility for the parked vehicles?. It didn't take much time to reckon why, its obvious isn't it all his interests were in money that we pay for the parking fee and he is not ready to take responsible for the vehicles.
Not only this, if you had look at the cars running on Indian roads most of the private vehicles will have a big "L"(stands for learner) on their back glass. Its shame to say this but i have to indicate that there are people who still drives with "L" sign on the back, even though they have been driving for more than 10 years. What does this indicates?, Its obvious the person doesn't want to take responsibility. If any accident happens he is not ready to face it instead he prepares his excuses. Not only ordinary people there are persons who works for government does this too. I would like to recall an incident where one of my uncle has bought a land from the government. In the land purchase agreement, It has been stated that the land is sold tentatively at xxxx price and the buyer will be responsible for paying more in case needed. He ended up paying double the amount than he had initially agreed for. Why? its obvious the government doesn't want to take any responsible for selling the land at lower price.
These are few examples to stress my point but if you start noticing it, You would have come across many such situations where you would be forced to take responsibility. Banks, telephones, Internets, Websites, Hotels etc., etc., everywhere there people who is not willing to take responsibility.Why refer outside, question yourself the same. Have you ever dared to take responsibility of anything risky. I guess the answer would be in most of the case "play safe". What does this signify? think!!!! think!!!!. It signifies that we are irresponsible and we are surrounded by irresponsible people and we are being ruled by irresponsible people.
"With Great Power comes Great Responsibilities". Now a days people are willing to take great power but not simple responsibility. They do not want to be blamed. Without responsibility there can never exists right decision and without right decision there can never exist peaceful life. Are we always like this?? I do not think so, If we trace back in history we find many example for responsible kings who ruled the kingdom and people were happy under those rulers and they
never hesitant to make decisions and most of their decisions were right and produced great results. But, here we are always finding excuses to free our self from responsibilities and ruining our life's.

Can This Be Possible
There goes saying "Anything is possible in this modern world". We have seen many facts which proves the above saying. The science has improved a lot and technology has improved a lot which achieves every possible things. Yet we have to agree that there are certain fields which are unexplored and unanswered. There has been a lot of examples we can take it from the past. History claims many things which are unexplainable at present, it might be explained in future which we do not know. But in the present world we have to agree that there are many things in history which are unexplainable.
I was digging this thought further and explored it assuming that we might get answers for this in future, again there is a question of how it can achieved in past when we couldn't figure it out with the current technology. Does this mean that we were more advanced in past than present ?? Is there something missed out when our generations emerged from past ?? The possibility of this, i leave it to the assumption of the readers. But when thinking about all these things a weird thought occurred to me which made me wonder "can this be possible??".
I have been thinking about this idea and explored a little and after convincing myself that "yes, this could be one of the possibilities" I am presenting it here. The questions about past, future and present gave me nightmares and sleepless nights for a long time. I was desperately searching for the answers about the unanswerable questions in the past then it occurred to me "why cant the unanswerable questions in past were from future??". It might be a bit confusing here, let me make an brief explanation.
With the evolution of current inventions and technologies, I have stared thinking what could possibly be invented new in future? everyday there has been some information and invention and there has been a lot of discussions, Like we have read about invisibility cloak in Harry Potter Novel and some days back I have been hearing about the scientist progress in making the 2-Dimension objects invisible. The scientists were explaining something about the property of light and its refraction and reflection properties of some metal but in the end with some reasoning we could say that it can be achieved. who knows in near future there can be news about complete success of invisibility cloak. similarly take the example of air planes. In the historic epic of Ramayana, there has been reference to flying vehicles in which ravana was traveling and we see it real in the present. similarly we can point out many references. This made me think further and finally this interesting topic came to my mind. Among the interesting fields many scientists has been exploring the possibility of time travel is attracted by many. Believing that the time travel might be possible in future, why can't all the unanswerable things in the past have been time traveled to past from the future.
It made me really amazed to think about its possibilities. Ever since the thought occurred to me i have been started co-relating the historic events with the current technology and the possibility of it being time traveled to past. Think about the example i quoted "ravana and air planes". it is quite possible that some one might have time traveled and constructed the pushpaka vimana to ravana or he might have been taken to present and then thought about constructing airplanes. Similarly we can quote from Mahabharata. In the epic Mahabharata Arjuna during their 12 years exile will go to Himalayas to get the powerful weapons from Lord Indira. There has been reference that he has been taken to Indira loka and then trained with powerful weapons over there. Why can't it be like he has been time traveling with someone from future whom he believed as lord indira and then got trained with modern weapons in future and then sent back to the past. There has been reference that lot of Rishi's who were capable of saying what happens in the future. it could also be possible with time travel concept. I believe that even the bow Gandiva used by arjuna is obtained via time travel. same could be possible with sanjaya who explained the mahabharata war to King Dirdrastra.
If we start reasoning all the unanswerable facts correlating it with time travel we may think that there is a slight possible chance that this could have happened. yes, why can't this be possible. There has been movies like Terminator series which i believe is based on the same concept (i.e., Future to Present). If it is possible to come to present from future why cant it possible to go to past from future. For those who were still not able to believe this, check with yourself assuming the possibilities of time travel ask yourself what will you do when you were give a chance to time travel?? where would you like to go??. Me being interested in fantasy and historic events would definitely prefer to go to the past and watch the mahabaratha war. The last fact which i would like to point out about my theory is that with people traveling in space will not be aged much compared to people not traveling in space. The same might be possible with time travel as well. This could also be one of the reasons that Rishi's and Ancient kings lived long and young.
The above mentioned possibilities is based on a small thought which occurred to me and not based on any scientific proof. Hoping that some day, some one might prove the theory with scientific facts and if that day comes i would be really happy to see the person via time travel ;)
