Yesterday's Things ( Kal ki Baten...)

Today we have so many modern gadgets to help us in our every second of our day. Sometimes I feel they have made our life more artificial. We are so much dependent on them, it is difficult to imagine what would happen if they are not there. Take an example of mobile phone. If one goes out without it, he feels like he is missing something.

कल की ही बात हैं, एक guest को मिलना था. हम लोग पहले नहीं मिले थे, लेकिन मन में कोई टेंशन नही था क्योंकि पता था की उनकी बताई हुयी जगह पर जाके फ़ोन करूँगा और वो आ जायेंगे. How simple? I was thinking how we were managing the things when mobile was not there. We were meeting people, were recognizing them and life was going on.

Communication.... it has become so fast, sometimes it is difficult to imagine what would be the future.  Kal kya hoga.. It would be another topice. आज कल (yesterday) की बाते कर रहे हैं to kal ki hi bate karte hain.

I couldn't wake up on time today. Reason- Alarm didn't ring. Some problem with the clock. What was happening when there were not alarm clocks?  Still people were getting up early as per the time decided. They say there is something like body clock. Maybe we were using our ability to set our mental reminders and these mental reminders were making us wake up. Now are the things like clocks/alarm making us loose (not to use )these abilities??...

Same problem with physical fitness. कुछ साल पहले इतनी सारी vehicles नहीं थी, Walking was routine. Now, even if we want to go to grossary shop which is just 200 meters away from home, we take out our bike. .... another example of how we are harming ourselves and our nature...

अगर मै ऐसा सोचने लगु तो लगता हैं की ये सब चीजे ख़राब हैं, लेकिन ऐसा नहीं हैं.  At some moment of time we need to think and decide upto what extend we should be dependent on them. Where to use them and where not.  किसी भी चीज़ का जरुरत से ज्यादा इस्तेमाल ठीक नहीं हैं. जितना और जहा जरुरी हैं उतना और वह इस्तेमाल किया तोही ठीक हैं.
