Mind it!
Hi readers,
Even before the word evolution was coined, there have been numerous phenomena, civilizations, demographics and all those elements which might have had even a modest aspiration to ‘improvise’; have been evolving. We will also get to witness many other evolutions in the years to come, as long as the human brain remains as the supreme free download torrent of ideas. Now in order to answer your mind’s inquisitiveness, as to where I am actually heading towards with the evolution aspect, I‘d like to straight away get to this week’s agenda on track!
On my way back home from work, there was this group of friends; 3 guys and 2 gals, having a very animated chat. I couldn’t but notice them because they were all standing right infront of my seat. Among them was this pair who is the inspiration for my current issue of DMC. I figured out that they were having a tiff about something and the girl was in no mood of talking to the guy. She kept giving cold looks to him every time he tried to amuse him with his comic faces or silly nothings, neither was she interested in the laughs and fun the rest of the group was enjoying. Suddenly the girl said something to the guy. She said it so ‘loud’ and clear that the guy literally stopped his clown gimmicks and replied back in a very rather courteous manner. Though whatever she told the guy was loud and clear to him, it was softer than even a whisper to everyone else around. Actually the girl said whatever she said, without actually making a sound. She typed something on the message application on her cell phone and showed it to the guy. He read it and the big smile on his face changed into a sad frown, at the speed of light. Now I obviously wouldn’t know what was written in that message, however what I was reminded of was the classic way of evolving a new usage of a tool or a thing which already has set functions to be performed. We message or talk on the phone with people who are far away from us. But this girl evolved another way of using her phone in that particular situation of hers. There are sign languages for those special people who cannot talk or hear, there is brail for those who cannot see. But those who have all their communication senses normal and active; have smart phones at their disposal! But yet when one chooses to type a message on the phone and not send it, not to dial a number to call or not use a hi-tech phone in ways it should be used, it is very interesting to see which other way it is put to use. Phone companies spend months and years to develop the most sophisticated of technologies to address to the unique demands of consumer expectations. This girl in picture was using a Blackberry. Tell me, would the Blackberry guys would have ever thought that their phone’s features would be put to such shame, as one of their customers is using their phone and not actually using any of its features the way they need to be used and yet has actually communicated with another person!
Our mind can evolve new ideas or improvised usage of things which are already improvised and built to address the very function which we intend to execute. This is why; what no thief can enter, nor moth can destroy; is our mind. This is why we are called human. But all things kept aside, what we fail to remember is that we are also called to ‘be human’. Let’s evolve ideas and ways to always make the world a safe and a happy place to live!
