The buzz word for me in the last 45 days...BMTC......heheheh...never tried to even find out what that stands for....may b i guess thats "bangalore metro transportation corporation".....blah blah. Well one fine day i was up at my usual time 0630 hrs, and having caught my 0730 hrs bus, i glanced out of the window to see rich, not so old ladies, taking their dogs out for a walk. hmmnnn......imagine what else they could so early in the morning, when we the poor IT professions were on our way to our offices. Life of an average IT professional, who does not have a bike, starts as early as mine does. well, people who own their own transportation can relax a lot and come to the office at their will....as early as 1100 hrs. But people like me cannot afford to miss their 0800 hrs bus , bcz the next bus would be only 30 min later and will take you to the office 90 min late than the usual time, thanx to the enormous traffic that flows in on the roads this time, every single day. This would mean you will not be greeted by the plate hard to break POORIES or the idli-vadas , and start off with you work.
This is life....a new chapter has begun indeed. New challenges right from the time you get up....gone are those days when you could get up at 1100 and go to the mess to have your breakfast and lunch( both are the same here) and play CS... :), whole day long. Meeting friends on weekends only, and of course a bit of bowling helps. Yet here i am in memoirs of those 7 semesters and the FOG trying to prepare for my technical seminar tomorrow..........i miss u all....

Cyborg Theory
A CYBORG is a cybernetic organism, that particularly enhances its skills using technology.
Cyborg theory is actually quite simple, look at yourselves.....dont you use technology in any form so as to enhance you ability(for example your glasses) or to make life simple for you. The prefix cyber can bets correlate to the human-technology mixture in the abstract. I mean, this very blog, the digital text, and what not........everything around us...........technology.......
What i wanna say is that each of us is a Cyborg in the individual, and that i am just an ordinary cyborg......and through this blog will try my level best to achieve what a common borg wud....!!!

He was there then...
He stood there in the corner of the street, looking at the large group of people, steaming, armed and blaspheming, cursing what seemed to be a couple of children. The boy was about 10 and was badly bruised, his sister, probably, was much younger. The boy was trying to retaliate, but he was outnumbered. He tried to figure out what was going on, he went to the adjacent paanwala and asked him why a group of several semi-barbaric men would surround two such innocent looking children....the reply that he got was rather shocking. The boy had apparently stolen a packet of milk, i guess hunger had taken over desperation eventually, and a quick glance with a sharp eye helped him locate a crumpled empty milk packet to which the little girl was clanging to. But to to such a thing for just a packet of milk...?
What followed next was completely horrific, one of the people surrounding the kids began to beat the boy up, the little girl started crying out loud, he stood there silently watching the ongoing event in much astonishment. How could such an event happen right at the middle of the street, in the heart of a big city like the one we all live in? He could not tolerate anymore, he went up to the people and asked why they would do such a brutal act......."They are thieves, if we don't kill them now they will grow up into robbers...so its better that we kill them now". He paid for the milk packet and pleaded the people to leave the kids alone. The people finally left, only after He lied to them that his father was closely associated with the human resources commission, and would get all of them arrested.
He was me.
How many such incidences happen today in our country....? we do not know the answer to this question yet....but i tell you one thing, seeing such a thing happen in front of you and letting it happen can be the worst thing that you can ever do.
