MINESWEEPER - Inspired by Life


I wonder whether or not Microsoft has taken any kind of inspiration from god while designing the game, quite analogous to the life. Consider following points: First of all, when we open the minesweeper, what we find is, it’s blank. We have no hint, no idea from where to start, but as we know that it will never explode in first chance. That is what we call beginner’s luck. We know that it is always important to have a good start, and even if it is a bad one we can very well make to success through hard work and intelligence. But if start is good, it always helps. Similarly, for success it is not necessary whether you are born with silver spoon or is a slum of Dharavi, but if your dad is a rich man it always helps. As we proceed, we know that more the haste less are the chances to win. We need to be patient. Concentration, practice, hard-work, intelligence and persistence are always required to win the match. Similar is the case with life. All the above parameters are the most important ingredients of success. Time matters. And it matters a lot. Time is a variable by which you are graded. Less the time, better you play. So we need to be very much calculative in the matter of time. We must save each second for better records. Same is with life. In life cannot go back in time and modify or change our decisions. Ones we click on a mine(=bomb), we are over. We need to start the game all again. Same is the case with friendship. We would be playing very well. But then due to just a small mistake whole life long friendship gets ruined. Though we would be playing very well, but there always comes a time when we need to take the risk. There is always a time when we need to take the resort on luck. There is always a time when things are not in our control. It may also happen that bad luck becomes the reason of our failure. But we should not feel heart broken. We tried hard and lost the game. It should be accepted as god’s will. Let’s be a little more optimistic. Let’s say god has a better plan, better than this one. Let’s say new game is waiting for us. And at the end of the game we feel as if we have accomplished something. Similar is the feeling we get when we taste success. We feel that we are on the top of the world. That’s it. Above mentioned points are a little distorted as you would find it. But they were felt by me while playing it repeatedly. Other than these points minesweeper helps us in increasing concentration and quick responses. And above all it’s really fun. Every time I play I feel like I am solving a kind of puzzle….

Feelings of the broken heart

It was getting more and more tedious for him to breath. for him either his world was doomed or world had smothered him. Now he was confused who was he going to talk to. Pain had subsided under hopelessness and despair. All his world, his universe consisted of just a beautiful girl. The cute and innocent girl who was his ambition, his hope, his dream and his imaginations. But now the girl has left him ruined. Every part of his body ached badly, as if asking the reason of their existence, especially heart. Now, whom would the eyes see, whom would the ears listen with rapt attention, whom would his tongue praise. Hadn't he had a heart, it wouldn't have broken him. Her last words still echoed in his ears like they were compelling him to be more and more numb. Words that may change his life forever. Has his decisions deceived him or its result...He was thinking of the chronicles of mistakes. he started hating english language for having 2 words "IT'S OVER" . Oh! words spoken by a very sweet voiced, sweet looking girl....

Line between what we WANT and what we NEED

Yesterday, I was driving, and the radio went off for few seconds. I thought i should have an ipod. Then suddenly I realised that I have not used my Ipod in last 6 months. And then.... more things, handy cam in last 2 years, digital cam in last 2 months, DVD player in last 1 month and many more . Now I can say that I bought that handy cam just out of an impulse, I have used it just twice in 2 years.

So, whats wrong? when I look at my self and my friends I can see it everywhere. we are not happy with what we have but stressed and not happy for thigs we dont have. You have santro you want city, you have city you want skoda. just buying a phone you need another one. better laptop, faster cars, bigger TV, bigger house, more luxury, more money. I mean, examples are never ending. The point is does it really worth? do we ever think if we actually need them before we want them?


After this I was forced to think what I need and what I dont. May be I didnt need this handy cam or the Ipod or that DVD player. When I see my father back at home. He has simple BPL TV , he doesnt need 32" sony wall mount. he has cellphone worth 2500rs. Whenever I ask to him to replace, he says
its just the phone, I need thisjust to call
and believe me he is much happier than me with those simple devices. th very reason that makes him happier is that he is doesnt want things in life that makes life luxurious, but he wants only those that makes life easier. It's very fine line between these two, but after lookin my fathers life closely,I got the point.
He needs a cell phone.... but not an expensive one.
Initialy I got lot of questions.
I am earning good, still I am not happy...why?
I have all luxury, still I am stressed....why?
I had great weekend, still I am feeling tired..why?
I met lot of people, I Thought over it and again and again, I still don't know if I got answer or not, but I figure out certain things. I realized that one thing that keeps us stresed is "stay connected syndrome. I realized that, at home i am logged in messenger, cheking mails, using social networking sites,and top of that my windows mobile not letting me disconnected. On the weekend itself, trying to avoid unwanted calls... and that is keeping my mind full of stress. I realized that I am spending far less than what I earn. Still I am stressed about money,salary and job.

May be some people call this approach as "not progressive attitude", but I want my life back. Ultimately it's a single life, a day gone is a day gone. I believe if I am not happy tonight, I wont be happy tomorrow morning. I finally realized that meeting friends, spending time with our beloved, spending time with ourselves is the most important thing. If on sunday, you are alone and have no body to talk with your all money, your luxury is wasted. May be cutting down your requirements, recalculating your goals in the light of today's happiness is a worthwhile thing to do.
May be selling your Santro and buying City on EMIs is not a good idea.

I believe putting your happiness ahead of your money is the choice we need to make...
