I have same opinion about electronic gadgets and buying costly things. They should serve the purpose. When I came to Toronto, I left my cell phone in India. U cant imagine that how much addicted we are to cell phones. I use to feel phone ring every now and then. It continued for almost 2 months. I kept on taping my pocket every now and then to make sure cell phone is there. Its just our mind which gets trained and we call it addiction. Now I forgot the cell phone. I hardly get call on my landline.

I had argument about buying better and better stuff with my friend sometime back. I liked her point. I am not sure that I agree with her or not. When we are talking old TV and comparing with LCD TV. It was not affordable to any body few years back. Now I can buy it.
When our parents bought new TV. They had struggle to buy that TV during their days. They have really worked hard to buy it and so they dont want to replace it. If we still go back to past during our grand grand parents. They didnt have TV. Werent they happy? I dont know. They might have different types of problems.

Ultimately, technology or money or any other thing wont bring happiness and satisfaction. It is true that when we see other people having better and costlier stuff, we get temptation to buy it. Its human psychology. Our parents are happy with what they have is because they are developed that way.

What is thought?

I happened to read a book by Eric Baum " What is thought?". The book repetitively asserts that the mind is a computer program. I started thinking about this concept further. I observed myself more consciously and noted my thoughts and behavior. Mind is certainly a computer program which is known since long time. Intelligence machines and Artificial neural network fields are introduced based on the inspiration from working principle of brain.
I am always surprised to see that what ever we invent or create , it has some link or relation to the nature. Someone might think that what a big deal in this sentence. Its well known truth that everything is driven and conceived through nature. My point is that what we think and do or create or invent is already exists in this universe. We are researching those things and using it for our benefit. Ultimately, we are in a process of developing a human being which exists on this earth.

The FREE store!

Yes! Thats true , its a free store. I was a bit apprehensive about it. I moved to university student family housing two weeks back. What I found out first is the information about the free store. When I came here that was the free store day. Student community development center has taken this initiative to open this store.

The FreeStore is our very own reuse initiative. Tenant's drop-off items that are gently-used or pre-loved, donations are then sorted by Community Development and put on display in the FreeStore and lastly, when open, tenants come and pick out what they would like for free. All tenants are welcome to shop and/or donate.

I started blogging!

I use to read blogs and think that how people get time to write a blog. Keep updates on there web-sites. Now, I have started writing my own blog. I am little bit free ( completely- that means doing nothing). I will keep writing my experiences.
