Our forever love

She was a breathe of fresh air,
She was sheer excitement unfolded,
She was a bundle of our joys,
She was everything life and lively,
She gave us unadulterated love.
She demanded love from each one who touched her life,
Her deep set twinkling eyes that craved for pure adoration,
She bared her teeth in her effort to smile back at us,
She was our little, beautiful, delicate baby,
Inseparable from our happiness and lives,
She was our white angel without wings,
Who grew wings and went away just like that,
Couldn't she have stayed longer,
Won't she come back looking at our grief,
Wherever she is, I want her to know,
We will be what she wanted us to be, loving and smiling,
We are glad she touched our lives and showed us what it is to selflessly love,
We will not mourn as we feel she is always with us,
We miss her every single minute and she will be our forever love.

Termination of the 'HUMAN' Experiment

Students,
Today I wish to share my most sucessful experiment called EG3 but which I had to abruptly end due to its increasingly venomous effect on other galaxies and species.

Here goes...

Once upon a time, in a far far away planet, there lived a species called human. The human, one rare and absolutely funny concoction of emotions and intelligence, the imbalance of which lead to their extinction.

I had planned it since the beginning. In our Earth lab, we planned, monitored and controlled everything.

These humans were induced with chemicals called thinking (thk2), inventing (ivt4), belief (bfe2) and feelings (flg3). Together these chemicals lead to confusion (cfs2) and also produced a new chemical, that was unknown to us and a new discovery. It was ego (eg3). So to test the capacities of eg3, we made them invent, evolve and become powerful than other species around. This made the eg3 chemical in humans grow exponentially. These inventions were meant to ease their lives but which, in reality, complicated it further. We visited them every now and then to make them feel that they have understood their solar system and know of life beyond earth. They started working on inventions that were more powerful than themselves. The eg3 chemical widened the trap that we lay for them. They didn't realize but it gradually destroyed everything they had ever understood.

Eg3 spread like an incurable infection. It made them destroy each other and whatever was around them. In fact eg3 also had the capability of destroying its parent chemicals - thinking, inventing, belief and feelings.

Lot of humans preached to free themselves from eg3 but in turn the preachers became the infected carriers. Humans became blinder, deafer and deprived from feelings. It came to the extent where their inventions started destroying them in masses. There was blood shedding, bombing and more infections everywhere.

It was then that we decided to terminate experiment 'human' and with them the toxic 'eg3'.

The battle we're losing which we think we're not even fighting

I often have wondered what makes people so addicted to facebook or twitter. To be driven to the extent of sharing information, people to know what they are up to, share pictures, check what others are up to...just that insatiable hunger to stay connected.

How were we connecting before the facebook or twitter era (and am not looking for orkut as an answer). Even before mobiles existed...we stayed in touch by meeting people or writing letters. It was more human touch and less technology. But then we were in touch with only a few.

Today facebook has put me in touch with almost my entire class of 1997. I can check how they look today, what they are up to, what did they do after school...I don't even call friends on birthdays and anniversaries. I wish them on fb.

So the social networking world has opened my world but put me away from the human touch. Where am being empowered on one hand, technology is also lessening my human effect.

Is technology somewhere making me lose the battle on the sly which I don't even realize am fighting?
