MINDCASTING!!

Before you people get any weird thoughts, let me explain that by the word ‘mindcasting’, I’m not referring to process of attaching a sensor device into the brain to study the brain wave pattern like in EEG and all. No, this is not a technical article. I’m referring to a fad that has taken over us in the recent times. A fun, which has become a craze, and which is slowly turning into an obsession.

FuzZ!!!

SOME RANDOM THOUGHTS
I woke up with a start to the music of my ringing cellphone. I had this sudden urge to pick it up and throw it far, disrupting my sleep damned inanimate object!!! I got up and reached for it, but before I could pick it up, black words appeared in white background “1 Missed Call”, huh!! couldn't care less. I tossed the phone back onto my bed. I looked at the clock, 10.30 it read.
Ahh! Third time this week that I overslept and missed my morning classes. My attendance is falling short, but I didn't care. My classes were all boring and encouraged rote learning. They didn't encouraged me to think out of the box. As a child, I was told not to make noise, run around or play free. As an adolescent, I was told to follow the crowd. I was told, not to be different from the rest. Being different meant being crazy. I did not ask, even though I had doubts. I did not comment, eventhough I had strong points in a debate. And I was a normal child they said.
