One step at a time as we walk the Green mile....


I'm have been PC gamer for over 8 yrs now... but it was only recently that i began to add value to it by fully understanding the philosophical message attached to it....
For over 2 months i've been hooked to this game 'DOOM III' that i bought at VT, Mumbai in december.... The story is simple.... it is basically about UAC(Union Aerospace Corparation) and its research base in Mars set in 2140 AD.... This base houses archeologists, Marines(securitians), scientists, maintanance squads and administration.... even the setting of the story and facts that it is based on is very normal and predictable and nothing really unbelievable.... this make the game play more real like..... it starts of with this very startling discovery of a 'teleporting technology into a new dimension' under a team of researchers headed by Dr. Malcom.... deeply rooted to this research Dr.Malcom begins to get demented.... even after realising that the several teams that passed through the portal returned insane, not in a position to decribe what they saw, Dr.Malcom decides to pass through the portal all by himself... when he returns he brings back the idea to unleash what he saw.... HELL... now i am the protagonist - A marine, and i am on mars to stop this madness from spreading to earth.... More than the game itself what i liked in the game is the story that was weaved around it.... the idea of hell being another dimension and to have finally come close to solve the biggest science mystery is remarkable.... the concept of hell, though still debatable, is very well comprehended in the game....the very idea of just having to turn to zero matter and back to mass using teleporters was close to imagination only in books like Harry Potter.... this game defies all laws of science to takes us a step closer to knowing the real truth which is the second step only after The Matrix - away from the physical to the eternal world!!!

Clearity!!

Many must have learnt from my previous blogs that i believe in miracles... but it was'nt until last week that i learnt that i could perform them too.... it was Monday morning and i woke up paving my way into the new week... it suddenly occured to me, "what if i did something different this week... what if i were invisible???" but what would i get of it?? neverthless i decided go ahead and try it... but i was no Harry Potter... what would i do??... a thought then flashed into my mind... for the next 4 days i refrained from any form of speech unless really necessary, in college.... i was technically invisible!! is'nt that amazing to hear.... i would there right in front of u and still be invisible to u.... this gave me much more than what i intended... i learnt about ppl around me and most importantly about myself.... for the first time in my life i touched my heart.... and ofcourse i also learnt of the nature of ppl around me... i realised that i was blindfolded all this time.... there were several layers i had to penetrate to see what i did.... but i do know what i saw of was the truth... something i've been seeking for a long time... i finally found it when i got invisible.... miraculously the 5th day i was back to my normal self and things around me were restored back to normal... it was as i stopped time for those 4 days and things were thrown back to normal on the 5th.... though the facts were rather shocking i decided to move on.... This time aware of things around me!!!
