A Shameful Situation...

It was painful but I was forced to face this situation. I thought once not to share this with you all, but at the same time it’s a nice forum to discuss it and get opinion from the brains of India.
Yesterday, I was coming from my college after classes. As usual I was on my bike and you know the Bangalore traffic!! It’s painful.. but not as painful as the situation what I faced..
It was about 03:40 PM and it happened to be the first brake on my bike-wheel after I left the college. It is the obvious biggest circle of Bangalore—Mekhri Circle. A Toyota Innova also braked by my side synchronously. A person by walk also came and stopped there. The Toyota power window opened and a man inside stretched his hand out of the window and handed a Rs.10 note to the person who had no four wheels but only two legs. In reply the man got something and closed the power window.
Can you guess what it was?? I know you are thinking that it’s a usual thing at the traffic. But that something was nothing but our Indian Flag. This is also usual. But the man inside the Toyota was not Indian, a French I guess. It was this situation that an instant shame came into my mind like a rocket.
Now can you imagine the situation? Now think “Can our flag be sold?” For Rs.10, our national flag was in the hand of a French person. It was not that I have not seen any person selling the flag. From childhood I have seen it and even purchased each year going to school ( Getting Rs.2 from my mother for flag but I always divided Rs.1 for flag and Rs.1 for chocolate :)).
Why should never I had such thought in mind? Why should Indian flag be sold? I know you may argue that many people get job due to it.. be it textile industry.. be it tailoring skills… but is it correct to commercialise the flag which we watch up-headed and salute it with a pride feeling during our school days and even now? Some people may definitely argue that “What is the use of this freedom?” but I ask them to tell honestly… To expect more without contributing is very easy. The fact is that freedom has given an identity to our country on global map in every field. Everything we have…to name a few are enormous talent, huge resources and cultural heritage. Still do you think a flag can be sold? It’s really painful?
Everytime I was critisizing the Bangalore traffic that was making my travel hectic, but I was really thankful to the yesterday traffic at mekhri circle which gave me a thought to present it in front of you. Please think seriously and what a day it is to debate--- the 64th Independence day.. Happy Independence Day...
Note: This is my personal opinion and not to hurt anyone’s sentiments. I do apologize if I did any such thing.

Sorry guys for being late, as I was planning to write this on 1st Jan, but due to my bad health (don't panic.. it was simple cold/viral). I recovered fully today. I was thinking about the new year....
Full day I spent in calling my relatives and friends... I am sorry if I din't talk any of you that day... but I felt funny about myself that day.. It is not only because people do exchange greetings of hope (in fact so manyyyyyyyy hopes and wishes!!!) on that single day, but also because I also did the same :).

The funniest part is yet not over... You know I talk or wished through SMS to people whom I had not even asked their well being for long time... Surprising!!! (and I laughed from inside that din't came outside.. really funny..)
Let's change over to next thought that was roaming in my mind couple of hours later... What's the speciality of this year? Can there be some logic? Can the logic (if any) be used for futuristic approach of life? No dear I din't thought about any of the answers for above questions... but yes "the questions" itself directed me to some pattern... 2010...
Firstly Two zero's in alternate places...
Secondly there is decreasing- increasing-decreasing trend betweeen two numbers...
Thirdly,Normal trend might be.. Zero 0, one 1, two 2.... but here it's two zer0...
Finally we know that subtracting same numbers gives zero and here it's fortunately present also... 2-2=0, 1-1=0... bold numbers=2010
Let's recollect all the bold figures...
alternate, decreasing, zero, subtracting......
Let's analyse now...
-Opposite of sequence is alternate.. may be some of the events this year may repeat alternately from the past or from this year in different month itself...
-Opposite of increasing is decreasing... May be this year something goes decreasing.. deficit in something...
-In boolean, I need not to tell what a zero means..... May be there will be some choking or blockage of some important event this year...
-Opposite of addition is subtraction... There might be some loss which is represented by subtraction pattern...may be in financial or economic terms...
Overall it gives an indication of either a 'off the trend' year or a 'negative' year....
Let's hope for the best...
Well I am not a numerologist nor did I ever tried something like that but I don't know why this thought compelled me to do such analysis.. I myself surprised...

PS: The content of this blog is totally individual's opinion and analysis and nothing to do with feelings of any person.

Man or material: Which is smarter?

Let me continue with what I have promised in my last blog..

First lets talk about similarities...

I have thought of a lot of cases of material failure in my day to day life as well as in my job. Also I have seen lot of human being sufferings.There are so many failure mechanism for materials as well as for man. Materials and man both can fail due to overload/tension. Both has life for which they have to perform their duty. Both man and material thinks... oops what I have said? Think? I know u wont believe... Tell me if you are of the same opinion of non believing when you end reading and breath long ...

Now what's the difference...

In none of the cases I have seen materials crying during failure as man do... Man being emotional may exaggerate the situation even if it may not be that severe. Whenever there is slight tension, man talks, laughs, show their concern to others.... but materials can't... Man and materials both thinks but as materials cant spell it out due to its limitation, it keeps record of each and every sufferings even if it is slightest and calculates itself the point at which it will fail... Here the material is very smart... It doesn't even give a warning to failure... It sustained all the loads and all the rude behaviour that humans did on it initially... and then takkkkkkkk.... failed...Mission retaliation completed...

Just to show the human how smart they are.... at that point its like materials are asking finally to the human all its concern and even the human reciprocates by realising it... Till now there is no science that can predict exact time of man or material failure... But materials do it for themselves logically, smartly and queitly...

M-Square

Its not the same as mens wear brand "f-square" what you might have seen on the big screens roadside in a market. This is something else..
Can you name two most powerful evolution of this planet? I thought yesterday...
I agree that it may be individuals perception and there is no theory or rule behind it.
What came to my mind was "man and material".
Whenever I have seen any object ranging from nano size to a massive structure/aircraft around me, I could only reach to the conclusion that it is due to man and material..
Let's take an example what I am seeing right now in front of me.. Say a bottle..
It has material- Plastic (obviously the brain is by man but brain cannot generate material it can only discover...)
and then it has been applied with some manufacturing process by man to get its shape and size.
Although manufacturing process also involves certain tools, but it is quite clear that those tools are also the result of same man and material.
so guys start thinking and let me know if there is any third one.... will come back to you with much more interesting things about man and materials...

Bangalore Durga Puja

Last week it was festive season all over India and guess what is it-- It's Durga Puja. I am with my full family for the first time in bangalore this Durga puja.

I must tell you that here Durga puja celebration is mostly done by some bengalee associations. Very well managed clubbed with some gr8 cultural programs....

We all went to Ulsoor RBANMS ground for puja on 26th... It was about 12:30 Pm and my mother and wife did puja there. Also as it was the golden jubilee year of the bengalee association, they have arranged mahabhoj --- free for all with hygienic menu (khichdi, aloo dum, mixed veg, aam chutney, rasagoolla, kheer) and it was unlimited...Please control your tongue...

Next day we went to different places but this time in the evening... Pandals fully adorned and filled with devotees.. Different types of cultural programmes have been arranged at different place.. viz somewhere garhwa, somewhere dandia, somewhere rockband bla bla... but the spirit of the people were same--- and that is "to enjoy fully and involve actively"..

For the last three four years I was totally away from this festival even though I was in bangalore.. but the fact was that I was alone.. It was something like coming back to child age and have a "chalo mela dekhne" feeling... wish someone could have given some money also :)

Lastly thanks to the continous official holiday (with saturday and sunday) that I could have all such kind of feelings :)

WORK-LIFE balance

It's quite difficult to maintain a work life balance, however not impossible. What plays here a crucial role is the will not the skill. If you want, you can.... try it !
"Priority" is another factor which varies from person to person. Well for some, Career is their priority whereas for some it is social relationship, family, money bla bla bla...
but its better to have a well defined priorities in advance.....It will help to create a work life balance....

Is Everything Comes At A Price?

I am not an economist. But I have a basic question regarding the current financial crisis.

Why the financial system of a country is liquid? To put in other way why a country cannot increase the volume of its currency to overcome financial downturn? 

Every country has its own currency. That currency is also released by its own country.  Then why is  it not possible? It sounds rediculous.. Even thinking about it I laughed at myself!!!

Let me put it by an example. Suppose a country has a total of x unit of its currency. All this currency would have been printed or manufactured by an institution of that country. A general person or lets say bank has y unit of that currency. If that institution releases additional nx unit of currency and distribute it to that person or bank then the total currency with them will be proportionally incresed by ny amount. Now they can invest or spend ny amount in other countries as the currencies are interchangeable. People want money to fulfil their basic needs as well as to do what they want. They can do anything with this money as the world is open.

I agree that we have limitation of our exports. We cannot export money in lieu of commodities. Every country has the limitation of its resources but an independent country can release money to buy anything they need from a country where that resource is in surplus. What is the limitation? Everything comes at a price!! Some at high cost and some at low.

Well the answer may be here. Population is increasing and resource is limited. We cannot stop time to make population stagnant. Nor we can increase the resources of the world as a total. A country cannot export more by reducing its consumption lower than a threshold. So the total consumpion is limited to make resources sustainable for future use. If inbalance occurs it may create havoc in the world. 

But coming to the present situation in US, the crisis is due to unavailability of liquidity. Can America do this tricky thing to overcome its crisis? Who will regulate? If they print huge amount of dollars and inject it to bank then everything will be fine for them. Can they do it for short term solution to make suffer other developing countries in long term? Let's wait and watch!!!

A Poem in the dream

Oh! my cute little dreamgirl.

its the best moment of each day,

that you come and take me,

to the way away from this fake world,

on the shore of an blue ocean,

Perplexed by the mystery of ocean end,

and the desire to see where sky meets ocean,

Everything gets simple when I see you,

All the riddles that nature hides is now open, 

Never let your smile stop,

which keep my heart ticks,

Thou should not close your eyes,

where I see the purest of the world,

At times,I get jealous by the breeze,

that freely waves with your hair,

And It's the colour of your lips,

that makes even the red rose to feel shy,

Oh! my cute little dreamgirl,

its the sad moment that you are going,

Even after your promise to come again,

I can't express how much I miss you,

Being with you It feels more than heaven,

I had nothing to offer you as a gift,

but still you love me a lot and come again,

The care that you do is everything for me,

I feel I am being myself with your soul,

With all the powers that you bestow on me,

I will fight to the world till we meet next.

Oh! my cute little dreamgirl,

I will wait like ocean waiting for sun,

Please come soon to take me away,

Never leave me in my dreams alone,

oh! my cute little dream girl, come soon..

B2BB

Back to bangalore and blogging too. I went to my hometown on a long holiday. Before going there were lot of speculations among my friend that I am going for my marriage without telling them. They were not ready to believe me. Now I am back single to bangalore. Hopefully they will believe now.

The trip was excellent and I loved it. I was very much excited to see my lovely home after a period of more than one year. The crowded city, the lovely markets and the perfect ambience.. all that I loved and missed. I have seen my school building (not a school now), my college and my favourite places where I used to spend time with my friends. But it was very tough to realise that those days have gone. The places are there but not the friends, memories are there but not that I can convert past into present like a sentence in grammer. 

Then I also travelled a lot to meet my relatives. Although I talked to them over phone, but meeting them was a great feeling. Spending time with my family is something which I love more than anything else. During my entire visit I missed bangalore for it's climate. Everywhere I found the scorching heat from the sun penetrating my body. When I was in Darbhanga, there was no power at the places wherever I stayed. But the fun was that power comes whenever I was about to leave one place to meet other relative. 

During the journey I have seen few old people sitting at the periphery of a deep hole at a construction site and looking deep into it. It was mid day and nothing was near two km around I guess. Curiosity forced me to ask them what they are seeing deep into it. They said that they are waiting for the construction to be over. It was a road construction that connects their village to the main road. A lot of development work is going on and people have hope now. 

I also came across the real scenes of flood that looks like an ocean with no end. The desperate faces still asks in silence to me "when will the situation becomes normal?"

I have no answer. Perhaps the nature do have... 

Beat me or chase me if u can!!!

Yesterday, in the opening ceremony of the Olympic, the China has shown something to the world!!
Mainly to the developed nations that what is meant by splendid opening to world level event.

It has shown to world indirectly that "I am on top!! Come beat me if u can... Come chase me if u can......"
Here I mean ---'u' in "beat me...." refers to developed nations
and 'u' in "chase me...." refers to developing nations....

I started watching it and I could not able to withdraw myself from the TV. I went deep into the virtual world. The level of technology depicted by Chinese spellbound many and I was one. Their hard work to reach the near-level of perfection was clearly visible. Everything was in harmony and perfect.

The revolving people in the air, the three dimensional equaliser and many more was just as seeing a sci-fi movie on the screen. But here it was in reality, a cause for fascination. I was mesmerised and confirmed again and again that it was a live show.

The developed nations would surely have noted the hypnotism shown by Chinese. And most importantly it would have given a perfect paradigm to the developing nations about "how much a nation can develop with the proper use of it's resources (mainly hardworking people)?"

I know it's a big question for many brain but not too big that we as Indian cannot reply to it in the next event of such kind in our country............

Not to have in first place

People wish something and get it when time comes. The luck factor (I believe it comes when preparation meets opportunity!!!) also comes into play getting those dreams come true.

How long?
Will it last forever?
If I get something, will it be with me forever?
Does it depend on the wish I make or the dream I have seen?

May be. May be not.

But one thing is for sure that loosing something always hurt. Why? Because there might have lot of effort before getting it. Also because of importance of that thing for people who get something easily or call it "by chance" (although I feel that reward would have come certainly due to his/her direct or indirect effort sometime in the past). Whatever may be the case, but after getting it there is a feeling of celebrating moment like being on the top of the Eiffel Tower to show that "Yes, I did it" with a hand pointing to the world.

The tower disappears when I loose!! It feels like someone has pulled the base where I am standing. Like someone has choked the throat or blocked the air around the nostril. Leaving me as if I am alone in the sea without any bank. At that moment, I want to be like a patch of cloud being carried away by wind to high in the sky.

Thinking all the time "Why I got?"
Is it that I didn't deserve that or
I had not done justice to what I got.

I will do the full justice next time. I will not let it go next time. I will do the best I can....

But for the time being it's gone....

My heart now force me to conclude that "It hurts much to have and loose than not to have in the first place".

Shocking Six

Six is always a fun in cricket especially in IPL matches where six sixes are the favorite to the player as well as to the spectator.
But here six sixes is a different story....
2008.... January to July, the shocking six months.........and the shocking six news...

Crude prices going up... and up... and up.... not only that prices are surging but the country is also facing the fuel crisis. Now if you go to a petrol pump there is 50 % chance that you will get the fuel for your engine. what's the option ? Shall I take a bicycle??? Is it a hint that the life thousands of years ago is coming back again ?

IT services going slow.... and slow.... and slow... This is the area where we were on the transition of "developing" to "developed" nation. This is the area which contributes most to our GDP. The downsizing of the workforce is also an area of concern to the country where unemployment is a barricade to the development.

Inflation going up... and up... and up.... from a mere 5% at the start of the year to record high of about 12% in mid of the year. What is it's effect? when I asked to my married colleagues they told me that "apart from the rise in prices of the commodities, the shopkeepers are even charging for the polybags per commodities"!!!

Political stability is coming down...and down... and down...left withdrawing support and in the trust vote congress losing the credibility although it wins.

Then the serial bomb blast yesterday in bangalore. Not one not two but eight blasts at different places!! Although a very few casualties were reported but still people are shocked. Believe me I got more number of calls yesterday in the past few months. Friends, relatives, home... call from everywhere... but message is same, "R u ok and don't go anywhere"A friend of mine resides at one of the places where blast took place and he told that "bomb ke dher par baitha hu"...

Today again in the evening the news was more shocking.. This time it was in the beautiful city Ahmadabad and the number was double than what was yesterday here. Yes, Sixteen!! and all of them in the throng places. The actual scenario cannot be predicted but as per the news, it seems that effects are more devastating, if not exaggerated.

What's going on in the past six months in this country?

I guess no one has the answer but the silver lining in this gloomy situation is that people have "hope".
Hope that all the problems will be solved.
Hope that the life will be peaceful.
Hope that people will be happier.

"a positive hope" --this is where we are ahead of any country in the world... it worked in the past and will continue to be so..
I hope everything will be back to normal!!!

Song of the day....

kahin na laage mann..
kya hai yeh sunapan...
mujhe tum bata do..
koi to wajah do..
har ghari ab khayalo me..
kah raha hai koi...
har ghari mere khwabon mein..
aa raha hai koi....
A beautiful song I like from the movie "kismat konnection"..... listened today 12times!!!!

Channel change !!!

If u guys don't know then let me first tell u I have a TV in a corner of the hall... Most of the time idle. It gets jealous sometimes to my laptop (she now takes most of my time and win over my old friend TV...) suddenly I thought "What do I watch on TV?"

Channel 1: Set Max- Sometimes good movies come, but I don’t remember I ever completed one. Long ads>> Change…

Channel 2: Aaj Tak- It’s really terrible. Anything apart from news I can see here. The topics are being so elaborated that I used to forget the main topic. Only circular analysis is being done forgetting about the center of the circle. The dialogues are surprising: “agar chain se sona hai to jagte rahiyeeee”. Programs like dhongi babas, Kaal kapaal mahakaal ...huh>> Immediate channel change….

Channel 3: CNN-IBN Here I rely on some good news. The analysis on current issues and world affairs is deliberate and easily comprehensible. Especially in the debates, it goes to the crux of the situation to spread the message to the society. A socially responsible channel.

Channel 4: Sony- The boogie woogie show is great in weekends. I love the spirit in the contestants that comes out from the sense of competition.

Channel 5: Zee studio: I love this channel. The movies are gr8. The message of each movie is great and it’s something new to learn..

Channel 6: World movies: The movies from each part of the world… Spanish, German, Italian, Chinese… No, I don’t know these languages but thanks to the word written down the screen. The expression of each dialogue is different in movies of different countries, especially Spanish have their own different way of expressing romance…

Channel 7: Pogo- Mr Bean appears and I have no better reason to laugh with his wacky facial expressions without uttering a single word. Amazing!!!

Channel 8: Music channel: I am not bothered from which channel it is coming. As long as it’s a good song, I enjoy it, After that>> channel change.. Other song!!

Channel 9: Sports channel- If it’s live, it’s gr8 to watch else not much interested.

Channel 10: Nat Geo- The few programs are incredible to watch. On Monday, “The aircraft investigation” and other related sessions are a must watch. The simple analyses behind the complex technologies are something that I can’t resist to watch.

I hope after this much of word my TV got relief and now smiling :)

What’s next? The red button on the remote (It curses me for repetitive pressing!! tired and demands rest) and me back to work on my lappy!!!

"Excuses" and "Explanation"

A bit confused always about the two words written with the fifth letter "E"!!

Life is full of situations where we have to act..act smartly... perform better... improve daily..

Everyday life is full of interaction with people.
Return>>a ton of questions... in multiple disciplines... technical, personal, humorous blah blah blah... and it demands I have to think and reason it.. How can I do that?

Well there may be two choices I have: I can think of "excuses"... thousands of tons of them...
In lieu I can think of one best "Explanation"... one best!!
Several times such situation comes.. I take it. Sometimes It comes in advance "what I have to do"? Sometimes it comes later "what I did"? Excuses or explanation? No answer. Not before not later!! Sometimes later it comes "why do I worry" Situation is over...

Now what's the difference?

One involves emotions, quite defensive, guilty, a bit selfish too...

Other gives confidence, quite comprehensive and naturally convincing.

If someone doesn't understand there must have been something wrong with my words. I might have taken it in the direction of excuse. Once it got the way I might have searched for another excuse to support former and so on.. then into an emotional ocean... obviously not convincing...

Why? Because there is always only "one best explanation" to a situation.
Just to interpret a psychological research study It needs only innocence and a bit of knowledge to "explain", but to excuse, a lot of traits is to be mastered. That's why I guess it's simple!!! Try it...

The Rat Race^^^^^^^^@

Morning 7:30AM: The transfer of mind from unconscious world to conscious world. Yes from beautiful dreams to reality full of illusions. Yes you get it right: the alarm in my phone rings exactly on same time everyday!! at least something is punctual and perfectly doing it's job. I hate that ring especially on monday after two full free days of myself but I can't do anything :(....

Just the start of the RAT RACE^^^^^@

Morning 8:30 AM: By this time I am already out of my dreams and promising my mind to come back later spending a lot of time.. and believe me it's hard to convince her!! same as convincing an stubborn child to do your work with promise for few more chocolates next time. Now after lot of words and promises I finally get ready for the office.

This is the peak time for the rat race... Everybody riding on the two or four wheels wants to reach as soon as possible overtaking anything on the way. It's really irritating when traffic jam adds the flavor to the process of Chuha daur!! Phir v bhaag chuhe bhaag.....

Mornig 9:00 AM: Reaching to the office and thinking of getting some relief from the rat race just completed... but to my surprise again it's starting... some day you have to be a silent spectator and watch other's racing, sometime it comes to me... Whether it's a meeting, review or discussion. But this time thank god the rat race is of the brain!!!! at least some relief.

Well addition of flavors are here too!! guess what?? Right: the criticism and interference of few gr8 people into your work....It happens but cream of the milk is to avoid or ignore these sapidities. The more you involve, more is the chance to become a bureaucrat straying from the goal.

Noon 12:00: Again a rat race for the appetite. People rush like anything to quench their exhaustion of four and half hour rat race. So do I.. some food with a glass of mausammi or sugarcane juice and getting again ready for the rat race...

Evening 5:00 PM: Time to pack up after 5 hr since lunch. These 5 hrs are sometime hectic in the lab or in a testing or in front of PC.. Then again a rat race with two legs or four legs on the road. It takes some time to stabilise and realise that today's rat race is over :)

Evening 6:00 PM: At least some peace finally on reaching the quarters.. Sitting with newspaper or watching news again gives a final realisation that the rat race which I covered today was nothing in comparision to what 6 billion of the world are racing.... dreadly, brutal and violent for some...

Then comes the rat race for few personal committments untill sleeping time reaches....

And now it's time to keep my promise what I did to my mind in the morning.. and she also promises to take me for the next few hours hell out of this rat race into an exquisite and peaceful world of dreams.... And I always smile at her innocence.....
Having believed her, I hope to have a good experience finally before one more rat race begins!!!! Good night... :)=<

After a very long ........... time........

I guess reading the title u will look at the date of the post I published last.. Yes you looked at it right... It was last on 22nd june 2007..... huh...
After a very long time (about 5 days short of one year), I realised today that I have missed myself in that period....
Starting something after a long gap needs some reason.... Let me find some!!!

Why not start with answering a question "why should I start writing again?"
The life needs time to go on.. But time management is also as important as our other commitments are...and I guess I am not good at both....Need a lot to work on it....

Now coming back to the question one simple reason is that "there is always ample time to start anything we want" Time is not short but it's the forced thinking which makes time short for any activity... By forced I mean the circumstances that we ourself create for our desires....

Next>> Everyone feel good to write and recieve a comment... so do I... Thnx guys for encouraging me... It gives me a different angle to think about my thoughts and feelings...

I don't know much of it's benefit as my friends asked me several times "wht do u get out of writing all this?" nor do I want to know... but it's my wish to capture all the memorable moments of my life....

A silly but final reason may be I have my lappy with me just before going into the dream world...
The perfect time to write something!!!!
Hope to continue............@@@@@................

Melancholy for Break---/----Up Relationship

Do you think that only human beings or more precisely living beings are suffering from a break up relationship? Well it’s not true. The emotional sorrow after separation from someone you are close with, is for nature too. Have you noticed the bad weather and rain in most of the part of the world in the past few days?
Everyone on this earth is elated with happiness with the news of coming back of Sunita Williams to earth. All are celebrating and praying in their own way for safe return of the Indian origin flight engineer in NASA. The brave woman has made her record by staying 195 days in space—a remarkable achievement. It’s not only the matter of staying but it’s a matter of contributing socially and technically to the world. It’s really a pride for the human being, which always struggled for its existence through an only precious resource called brain.
But it is only the space, which is not happy of new kind of in space break- up relationship. How can one come up from such a gloomy situation when its 195 days old? The eye-wetting is obvious as we see generally in the break-ups. In few past days, the sky was bursting with rain full night showing its sentiments of separation. Not only it is sobbing with rain but also keeping itself in the dark during daytime exactly similar to the human tendency of setting him/herself alone in the darkness with melancholy thoughts and eyes filled with tears. In these situations the main problem is everyone will come to you for showing sympathy and giving suggestions but no one will wipe out your tears. Some of them always wait for these occasions and act as butter in the fire!!!
Practically if we see our past, there is always some kind of separation in our lives for satisfying our everyday growing needs and comfort. Whether it’s a separation from family or from organization or break-up with friends, there is always gloom and despondency in the life for some period of time depending on the extent of emotional sentiments attached to the relationship. After that period of time everything comes back to the normal accepting this separation as a rule of nature.

Sh..ri..nk..ing... English

One day morning I got a message on my cell, it writes: "Thnx 4 ur hlp". Well it's sure that you can't find the word of the written sentence in any of the lexicon, but if u ask anyone they will not only tell you the meaning, but it may be possible that they will reply also in the same manner with few more shocking shrinking words.

I am very much in support for the use of these words afterall the main purpose of any sentence is to commnicate the meaning. As long as the other end person understands, its ok.

Then I started thinking that from where this culture has started. Actually the culture of shrinking the english was also there in the past. You can see it in the form of abbreviations everywhere. But now a days for the past two years it has picked up it's pace like anything. People now a days uses alphanumeric words to communicate in short. Just think about the creativity of people who initiated such things.

Take the first sentence again but this time formal " thanks for your help". Total words=17, where as with the shrinking words the same purpose is achieved by 10 words. That is saving of 7 words.

We can simply write "gr8" for "great", saving two words.

Now think how can you shrink " your question is wrong". I will write it as "ur ? is X".

One reason could be the growing telecom industry where people have so much of interest in messaging within restricted number of words.

If this culture will be adopted formally everywhere then I think it can save lots of time and money also by utilising less number of pages, inks etc. Just imagine the documentation work in India and then think of the saving...

But this shrinking should not be so fast or too much that in future we should be left with only blank papers....!!!
