Man is a social animal. A simple statement, yet it is so complex. Man being endowed with all faculties of expression, understanding and perception should be capable of communicating to his fellow humans. But there is such a hue and cry about communication gap. Why so? Man can discover many things, invent new ideas and compound theories about complex issues. He is proud to have unraveled the mysteries of nature and reached the far end of the galaxy. Why then can’t he understand what his neighbor is getting at? Why is he so oblivious to what his kin and kith are feeling? Then why doesn’t a boss know the pressure on his assistant, a father can’t understand his son’s dilemma, a husband doesn’t know what his wife wants? It is natural hence that misunderstandings and disputes crop up. Man unknowingly is distancing himself from others and this rift is growing by leaps and bounds unheeded.

Look around yourself. Take the birds for instance. See how the remaining birds hover over a dead one from their group, how they travel long distances in search of compatible climate in such huge numbers. We don’t see a single bird finding its own way oblivious to the rest. Heading relentlessly towards a single destination they are unified in their approach. They seem to care not only to reach the goal but also to do so in a group. This throws light on their ability to understand signs and might even represent an undercurrent of feeling. Nature abounds in such examples. There is the classical case of snakes taking revenge. It has been scientifically proven that the snakes are attracted to a dead snake by means of odour coming from the dead one. Well if you ask me that’s a form of communication.

Animals do not have the prized virtue of processing data according to us. When we see such lowly creations of God (as we see them, of course) so apparently having non-verbal communication as stated above, why then cant we, who are proud of being able to speak and process feelings, communicate the same to a fellow being??In the name of technological advancement emails and chatting are sort of distancing people.Next door neighbors no longer have any communication.Guess people will realize when its time or when it is too late.No wonder, things needing prime importance are going back on one's agenda.
I hope i don't become like, "when was the last time i saw u??" or "I don't know what u think and i dont care." .Well i should give it to my self that i can relate almost unrelated topics, right?

For a change


Well i have uploaded a picture at last.

See the beauty in nature around us.Tough not to appreciate nature's work.I wonder sometimes if man can ever compete with her.He has to certainly take inspiration from nature.We can imbibe what we see around us and create something state of the art.But then we have to take care not to interfere with the natural processes.
