It was an usual cold and sunny morning as I woke up today. My head was still heavy and running wild like a processor left running for days processing unnecessary information or like a machine gone crazy executing commands in an infinite loop. Yes, this is how I can imagine and can better explain my brain. It accepts data like vision, figures, sounds, expressions, emotions, gestures and try to process them into information. Sometimes, this information gets so complex that it is unable to understand, so it dumps it giving it a garbage value and then keep the rest in its database. And sometimes it gets confused between two commands. But when too much information begins to flow,i.e. in chaotic conditions (emotionally and logically), it shuts itself down to prevent a system crash and begins to reboot!! And this is why it has been able to develop some simple guidelines of its own. People may call it dumb or a freak but I know its not. Yes a mechanical heart is less dangerous.
And I believe this is how you too will be feeling when you are waking up from some horrifying and horrendous dreams from past few days. It may sound like a fictional metaphysical mystery where you are having some recurrent nightmares!!! Where you maybe saving friends from some beautiful cannibals and getting their attention instead! Or an unfortunate apocalypse in a metropolitant city causing chaos and suffering around you! Or getting lost in some strange land with some unknown people, again where you are helping each other out and saving them from some evil looking Voldemort because you are meant to but atlast you see yourself dying helplessly! Or when you get caught in a maze of stairs(that's my favourite childhood nightmare!) that can transform themselves, never actually lead you to anywhere but keep taking you to places that you have never intended to go and sometimes end abruptly! Or a massive volcano erruption just near your colony or a meteorite rain and you decide to go out to bring people back home. And in all these you are busy saving others but falling into trouble. Was I a Samurai fighter, or some cosmo crazy scientist!! Never mind. These nightmares aren't my concern anyways.
So, after some moments of wondering and laughing at my self I finally decided to venture out of my blanket. As usual I checked my cell phone and found a message flashing that read, "Software update available. Update Now?", with two options of Update and Later. I pressed the Later option in irritation and stepped out.
Earlier in winter mornings, we used to go to the window to check the weather. The house just opposite to us which belonged to an old Bengali couple used to be our parameter...It was definitely not cold if it was visible and the day would be normal...A light fog flying across its red brick wall meant it was pretty cold plus wintery breeze outside. An invisible house with white foreground meant, IT WAS PERFECT! It meant that we can now blow "cigarette smoke" from our mouth. The best punishment in winters you can give others is by putting your threatening chilled hands on their cheeks. For further pleasure keep it for a long time. You just raise your hands and see the horror in their eyes and the pain in their scream...ha ha. That was an easy revenge my brothers took from me. And yes, one more dreadful thing to happen in winters, a hit on your foot when they are almost numb with cold. I was just gifted with it few days back by my sweet liltle devil (my brother). Believe me, it is a feeling as if your foot is hit after freezing it by liquid nitrogen so that it can break like a raddish broken in two equal halves...But now these mornings are more monotonous and arid. You know there would be wind, there may be sunshine, doesn't matter.
After sometime when I again checked my phone I found the same message being displayed again. And this time I decided to let it update itself. Why should it be running ho-hum like my days. And then just to avoid myself getting bored to death I explored the OVI store for the first time. I know I should have done it long ago but then I was least interested. And to my surprise I enjoyed it. But this is what happens when we are busy 'living' and we overlook some of the life hidden in the corners. And it was then that I got this very amusing thought...What if everyday life asks us for updates with options, "Aaah, yes! thanksss" and "Maybe Later". Soon after you open your eyes, a virtual screen would welcome you and asks what would you like to have...And then you could login to the "LIFE store" and browse among various options available to you!! By the time you have a bath and get ready, the options would have completed downloading!!crazy...
So atlast now my cell phone has a dark orange theme to suit my mood.
