Never Ending World

I happened to be present at iit powai during its tech fest.There were usual stuffs too and some unheard unseen stuffs.

For instance,there was this cyclist from spain on his single wheel cycle,rolling all over the campus.
There were aeronautical engg students flying there monster sized planes in a football field.
One chopper just missed my head,it was not that big,but would definitely had given me few scratches.
Later I realized that chopper selected me as lucky spectator,and generously poured a cap along with an italian chocolate box:)

The most amazing thing I came across was , a robot designed by a german scientist.Ya he had this long hair and beard(they dont have time to shave..lol). He was there with his 6 robotic dogs,3 of red
color,and other 3 of yellow.He arranged them in 2 rows.by color!!

As soon as the dogs were on their legs,one was scratching his leg,one was looking to crowd, one was stretching...I mean think of a normal dog..wat he will do , they were doing that.It was all dynamic..nothing was mechanical.

Now the scientist pointed out a random guy from crowd, and asked him to select a song(randomly) from like a 1000 songs list...which he was carrying in his ipod.the guy chose lily alen,nywayz...my point is as soon as he played that song the dogs started dancing

I know,I know..u might be like"big deal..so wat they started dancing"..but let me finish!!

The dogs were synchronized,and when I say synchronized,I mean it.There movement was like a team
work.their tails were swinging , legs were moving in same pattern.Story doesnt stop here.

He changed the song...and bamm they(dogs) changed their slow dancing,into more like rock dance.
Every body clapped,cmon they deserved this at least.

Now he whistled and the dogs were ready to enter a small football field,they were in queue (in two teams,by color)waiting for next whistle.Next whistle and they were entering the field(2 meter* 2 meter).

One dog of each color directly goes to goal post..other 2 dogs of each team...were in the center of the field.A ball was kept in the middle.One more whistle and the game started.The most important thing to notice there was that the dogs were not confused regarding as, which is their goal post..and which is opponents'.

Also they fully recognized that,who is his team mate...by color , and he keep passing ball to his teammate only.Snatching the ball from opponent,by whatever means..like putting tails in between the opponents legs.diving while opponent is running to score goal..and there by getting red card...but happy to save goal...

I m tellin you these were very few things which I can explain.... lot of more emotions and expressions were attached to the game.Game ended 7-10.Winner dogs were jumping all over the field...losers were scratching heads,lying on the field.

It was one hell of the match.Enthusiasm was all around.

Now nobody hesitated to clap...applaud...praising,
and whistling...for the dogs.

Scientist guy asked , if there is any question..in your mind, let me know...

There were too many questions..from different people...I am sharing the most interesting one...

(Climax): Q:you have done outstanding job,congrats to you!!
I mean this is extreme..putting team effort,emotions in robot..that's too much.
Are you satisfied????

Scientist: I have not even reached 25% of where I intended to be.How can I be satisfied!!

(by now we were like ..."ohh, this guy is now boasting,I mean this is certainly extreme of its kind,what could he be possibly up to!!")


Q: what you want to do now, When you will be satisfied?

Scientist: The day I make a human robot,and he will beat on field players like christiano ronaldo,wayne rooney, in football.

ya that day I will be satisfied.

Q:You do realize that this is next to impossible,as actual players will always perform better,no matter what you create,actual players will push your robot,and its body parts will be scattered.How can you even imagine that???

Scientist: Yeah, the same things were said by people...in late 80's....when I explained,this robot dog football players...thing.But it is now in front of you.

Everybody in the hall was stunned,applause was all around....till he was packing his robots,and left the packed hall.

THIS IS ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE!!

People...

I recently happened to make a new friend.He is nice,smooth talker,never uses foul language.If you will closely observe your early days of friendship you would most certainly accept the fact,first you tend to know the new guy,you would also give your opinion about certain things.The things which I am referring to are very basic like,your favourite movie,novel,food.While you get to chit chat for some days,there are these things,which I would say that you both will agree on.But then,there would be certain things on which you both have your own rock solid perception,and may contradict each other.

I don't really know what is anybody's else criteria for judging a person that he is intelligent or not,and most certainly I am not saying that my criteria is best on this planet.If guy can give you strong and powerful statements for most of the topics in a day while having a verbal communication on a topic in a group of 4-5 people[none of then are retarded] then for me he is little extra intelligent.

So now coming back to the new friend of mine,according to my definition he happened to be the most intelligent person I have ever met with.I mean name the topic he has his word of wisdom to add.He will practically cut,contradict and object to not only each of your perceptions but also the knowledge that you know for sure that it is true.He will present ridiculous and completely false facts that will support his statements.That too with supreme confidence in his face,and then will make you feel like a poor chap with poor knowledge on those things.

I first shared my opinion about this guy with rest of my friends,because sometimes tunnel view blinds you, and then you are bound to see the things which you want to see.I was not surprised by their response,I was not in a tunnel.Everybody else felt the same way.

It's not like that we don't contradict with each other,we do.These are the funny moments which we laugh out later.Make jokes on these things.But certainly there are boundaries like ones favorite sports person or genre of music one love,we would all have different choices and you couldn't agree more.At times we criticize each other.I used to think that this is the most difficult part of ones friendship.I mean what could be worse than criticizing your friends,that too your close ones.

But then this guy has shown me what can be worse than contradicting on some of the topics,"Contradicting on Each and Every Topic". P.S. admire what you have,because in this world their are things worse than what you think is worse,because no matter how much you are aware of this world you are always standing in a tunnel.

Matter of Time

Rick was Alex's fellow classmate in standard 5,being little taller Rick would bully around.He would randomly grab head of any of his classmate and then push and pull,back and forth it.He regularly grabbed Alex's head and then shook it.Alex was pissed off with his behaviour,but couldn't do much because Rick was stronger and taller than him.Alex did what he could do in order to take revenge,he grabbed one notebook of other classmate and then left a note to teacher that Rick has stolen it.

Rick was punished and humiliated in front of everyone in the class.Alex was happy to see his plan worked.Some years passed and now they were in standard 7.

Alex's dad was transferred to a new city,left with no choice he too had to move on.In old school he doesn't had too many friends.Nevertheless he had 2-3 good friends.The worst part of being transferred from somewhere is as a kid you would never be asked about your opinion.Anyways some more years passed he now was in standard 12.He got admission in tuition class in same city,and Rick was also there.Alex in no time remembered everything and maintained a distance from him because of his horrifying experience with Rick.2-3 days later when he was entering the tuition class he saw Rick smiling and waving his hand to Alex,pointing to a seat next to him.Left with no choice Alex was sitting beside Rick.As soon as Alex sat,Rick said"hi, how are you.where have you been?".Alex told him everything,and then asked about him.They get along well.After 7-8 lectures Alex was surprised to know that now Rick has now tranformed into a wonderful human being.Alex sometime,even felt that may be he is not that Rick,but sometime in life you just have to leave the things to time.Time takes care of itself and then everything is compatible with you.As for the Alex and Rick,they remained close friends.
