Development

The world is moving faster in to technologies and it is called the "development". But what really is a "Development" is a questionable thing.. Is it building a concrete jungle around us ? Losing out on the knowledge on vernacular architecture suited for the environment.. Or adding more number of vehicles on the road and building industries to make junk and polluting the environment so much that people can hardly breathe... And we will have to buy bottled air like bottled water as we see in movies..That time will come soon and we are developing in to it..  China is already doing it..

Lost..

Lost , a powerful word.. Recently saw the movie "Fight Club" and it left me thinking for a long time.. Its hard to realise the truth that the materials we own in real world on us.. We are all slaves to the materials around us.. when i lost my phone for the first time in Delhi I had lot of attachment towards it. then i had to let it go and move on.. Then I got used to a Smart phone and again i lost it and it was even more harder.. I couldn't take it any more and next time when I bought a phone i asked the shop owner for the cheapest Nokia phone with basic function and I am happy now that it doesn't own me any more.. And I learnt a lot form those experiences, we should not allow us to be deeply attached to anything and then it will own you and break you down by leaving you one day..
