Its been a couple of years...i had embarked on this journey that was to lead me to the end the horizon....thoughts are still the same... sometimes eclectic and sometimes fanciful!..n i nurture them all the same...the journey is what i have fallen in love with...the end of the horizon is still beyond my sight...unending horizon persists...

Incredible??
The world of Gizmos!!
Try plunging back in time for a few moments and when you are back take a look around….Its inevitable to escape the realization as to how these 'tiny-tots',
‘the miniature-creatures’,(Yes, I don’t have misguiving labelling them ‘ceatures’, when, on one hand researchers are tirelessly working day in and out to device an artificial human brain)have taken the world bya storm(or is it a hurricane??) in no time.Just think of a splitsecond when we are remotely away from at least a single gizmo?
Aaah….the story of a Cell Phones ,Pagers, Laptops,Digicam(oh!…am sorry it’s the Digital Camera that can certainly give your older version every sign of friviolity)and the seemingly indispensable I-pods(thanks to Apple for this incredible gift to music lovers!),gained ostensibility much later.Haven’t we ,humans, been a little too fascinated with gadgets, ever since we embarked on the journey of evolution?Remember your Granny telling stories of how a Television or a Radio was considered a bliss during the post-independence era?And isn’t a Watch(no,it isn’t solely about the luring digital watches(Matter-of-factly, way back ,even the analog Hmt watches were equally adored)considered one of the most pleasant ‘surprise-gift’ one can fancy of receiving,through ages,without failing even today!Even the least affluent people would conscent how their under-furnished house without a refrigerator,a washing machine,an oven, a geyser,a heat-blower…an never ending list,sends shivers down their spine. But this is history.Now,we certainly have entered into a new age where such gadgets are a wee bit revered because of their indomitable successors.
The priority-list of the most-wanted gadgets in a household has undergone a colossal change.The TV is replaced by a Home Theater System and the LCD TV,The blaring Stereo system has taken over the tape recorder.The upcoming Deep-freezing and automatically-stabelized refrigerators will definitely supersede the older ones.The microwave ovens indeed belittles its predecessor.The fully-automatic ,hassle-free washing machine that has made the older one obsolete... the list goes on….And on taking a step outside the home,the techno-savvy world can indeed take some elderly gentleman/woman aback with the cell phones and laptops pivoting on the Wireless Technology (should I say the 'Wi-Fi’??)progressing like
never before!!
In a daze??Hold on…the biggest bomb is yet to explode.A one-off tour down to ‘The Gadgetland’,I mean,to Japan, will undoubtabely leave one spell-bound.For,Japan truly unveils a world brimming with amazing Gadgets.To list a few,the Miuro robot radio which gives a new meaning to the term'rock-n-roll’, the Sharp’s 165-cm(65-inch) LCD television as a part of trend towards making ever biggest TV,Sanyo’s DMX-HD2(world’s smallest high-definition camcorder),Sharp’s QW-SC1 dishwasher designed for most cramped quarters,the bubble-shaped buggy called the Pivo,etc.
The pace at which these Gizmos taking over,is alarming!Is it so that these man-made machines have plans of giving a lead to their creator himself??
