India China relations : the diecy issue
| January 24, 2012 | Posted by Britul under Perspective |
India China relations and related boarder disputes are the most buttoned down and dicey issues India is dealing with. But it is very disappointing to see that our politicians are not brave enough to speak open mouthed on the issue. Or maybe they don't want to create any sensation among the masses by doing something. They might be willing…

mobile phones: good or bad
| June 21, 2010 | Posted by Britul under Perspective |
It's obvious that, mobile phones is the latest addition to the list of cutting edge technologies, we use in our day to day life. With the growth of human wisdom, we, the twenty first century human civilization has become more and more familiar with the use of various technologies into our day to day life.…
into our day to day life. Right from the toothpaste we use just after waking up from the bed in the morning, till the alarm clock we switch on just before we shut our eyes in sleep at night, we use a large number of goods which carries signature of technological wisdom of human civilization. Among all such goods, the one most lately added to the list is the "mobile phone". Yes, it is one among those items which are added to the list during the last few decades. But during the very small span of time, this very item has occupied such an important place in our life that sometimes a mobile is felt like a body part.
Need not to emphasis that mobile has made our lives easy. But, gone are the
days when we used to speak about the good effects of Mobile phones. Mobile phones have helped us so much in living our day to day life that we have become extremely dependant on it. Can you imagine a day without a mobile with you? Yes, can you? I am talking about only 24 hours. But I am confident that you won’t be able to. Not to talk about a whole day. I think, you won’t be able to feel easy if your mobile is not with you for one or two hours. This doesn’t mean at a gap of every 20 or 30 minutes you are getting some important call or you need to make important calls. Although, there were no important calls, you are not feeling good due to a sense that there might be some important calls during that period when your mobile was not with you.
Okey, now let me give you an example of my own. Once, during college days I went to some place where there were no mobile networks. Actually I went to some forest area with some of my friends. It was during summer vacation and was just an enjoyment outing. Again, at the time my mobile battery was very low. Since there was no network connection at the specific destination, so mobile network vanishes at a certain point on the way. We spent the whole day and came
back. While coming back, we faced some problem with our vehicle. Though the problem was not so serious, still it took 2/3 hours to fix. Somehow we managed to fix the problem and came back. While coming, even when, we touched the coverage area of mobile network, my mobile was not ringing. I didn’t think anything. I thought that there may not be any call. I kept it so simple, but I didn’t physically verify it. This was my biggest mistake; you will get to know about it. Keep reading. Had everything gone well, I was supposed to reach home by 8 o’ clock. But due to the delay caused by the car, I reached home at around 10:30 or 11 o’ clock. After I reach home I experienced a bombarding welcome note from my parents. Little later I came to know that, this was because why I didn’t contacted home if there is going to be any late. I tried to explain, saying there was no network. But the justification from my parents was that I should have contacted home whenever on the way I found the network or at least should not switch off the mobile so that I can attend the calls from home. At that point I opposed saying I have never switched off my mob neither I have got any call from home. Dad told me to check the mob. I checked and got surprised to discover that the mobile is switched off. Later, I came to know that the mob was switched off automatically due to the battery got totally discharged.
So, after this I accepted all charges from my parents. But, what you have come to know from the above story. Can you imagine, what the scenario could have been if there had been no mobile. I think, things could have been better, than what has happened. I think, worries could have been lesser, than what has already been faced.
This all has happened, due to dependency on mobile technology.
