Obsolete

The project that I work on at my workplace, it is possible to obsolete a delivery if there are some serious issues with it. This set me wondering, how nice it would be if we could all have this feature in our lives. I would obsolete so many things, few memories from my school days and many right after it. I could also use it to undo few utterances for which I regretted later. I could undo my habits to make my body much leaner. I could also undo many mistakes that I made while writing code.

But that is not apparently possible. It seems the function: y = f(x) { where x is time, and y is event in life at the time x} is a distinct value function. It cannot have 2 values, such that if, y1 = f(x) and y2 = f(x), then y1 = y2 has to hold true always. Of course, all this holds true in the domain that we are present. It is said in quantum physics that there are infinite states of the universe, so there could be another Niranjan somewhere in some other universe who could be what I want to be. But would he want to be what he is? Because Nida has said, "Kabhi kisi ko muqammal jahan nahin milta"


He he... confused? But seriously I would like to explore this angle of philosophy if and when I get time in my life.

Easy Life

This monsoon season, a thought time and again surfaces on my mind. How nice and peaceful life it would be if my wife and I could stay in a small town, with almost all the basic necessities. We would have a little house, and I would have no work to go to.

Our garden would be covered with plush green grass, freshly grown this season. The trees would all be covered with greenery. We would take a walk in the city during the day, enjoying the slight drizzle and watching people by the road.

A simple life, no malls to visit, no driving cars in water-logged roads, no cursing the people causing traffic hold ups due to protests against corruption. No talking to people for the sake of talking.

Ah! I think I am old now.
