dream apocalypse

 wow amazing
we are all out on the streets of london(??), we are college student in cambridge or something being ragged I think, returning from a party at night, There were lot of challenges and arguments , dont exactly remember them, it was a long dream before this.. but then, we are looking to jump on top of a compound into someones backyard to prove something about evolution!! and then suddenly I notice that I can clearly see the milkyway the galaxy in the sky.. I have never seen it like this before. so many stars in a band! wow! is it just that it is unusually clear night? or something is different? suddenly we start seeing the stars falling off one by one!! That was shocking! apocalypse? :D there is panic every where.
( but wait if we are seeing stars falling off, that means it has happened some hundreds of years ago right? cause the stars are light years away?)
anyway there is huge confusion people are running helter skelter
I want to go home and talk to my family before we all die :D It was not emotional at all, Oh god! mamma, pappa. not like that.. It was so matter of fact. I have to go home and see parents. ashte. Not afraid of dying or anything :D  I m rushing home for the last glance of family.. its like old city is IL, Or may be malleshwaram  I run in small alleyways and small gates..
I run myself into a corner and some friendly guy ( arab or black? or egyptian type guy?) opened the gate for me. I was too fat, but he managed to push me out thru the gate also.. (at this time it is actually day, its not night) There were tourists who were looking at something, I startled them but ran anyway.  I run thru peoples houses and reach home.. then we watch it on TV the stars falling off thing...I think the Apocalypse never happened.
I never die in my dreams.
the other day I was standing on the foot path and this bus just steered too widely and was on me in a sec.. I think time slowed down, I didnt have time to move out of the way! it was right there.. I flattened myself and the bus went right on top of me, I squeezed under it but there is no place for me under the bus. It looked like how things looked in old video games when u went too close to some objects..graphics. Ill get crushed!!!! oh what to do!!! panic! then rewind and the bus breaks and stops an inch from me! Inception!! I must have stopped the bus myself? :)

actually not that amazing but it felt amazing when it happend :) 

how many people touch our lives

How many people touch our lives... the web of people who are directly or indirectly doing something to run this world smoothly without us even noticing it is.. is kind of overwhelming. We are also doing our lil part in this.. like an ant hill really, we are all doing our things and it all loosely fits in and run the world - more or less smoothly.

how many people are involved in making my life the way it is? in the background? not realising they are affecting my life and I not realising..

As I get to work from home, someone cleaned the apartment corridor, someone gardened the lawns, some one build the apartment in the first place, and installed the lights.. so many people are working to get electricity into the lights and heating... the people who are actually generating the current, to the people who makes the bills to the ones reading my meter...The carpets..someone cut the jute, some one weaved it, some one installed it, someone brought it here by truck .. I havent even stepped out into the road yet.. the glass, the bricks, the cement... the street lights, the traffic lights, the roads, pavement, the administration which is making it all run like clock work, the government, the people who made traffic rules, the ones who gave license, the decent drivers who are not running me over,the police who is enforcing it... bus driver, the people who made the bus, the factory the individual parts, the miners who mines the metal for the bus... ufffff... how deep could this go...

If we actually drew a graph of how we are touched by whom? across time and space..  how far back in time would be go? How many people would connect to me. And if we connected facilitator to facilitators would we connect almost every person on earth? how many of the 7 billion are actually facilitating me? :)

I dont use algebra in my daily life!!

What is the use of education people ask, as if I will use algebra in daily life  how many times have I heard that..( especially today in BBC, I have calculator! huh!)

We can only guess at what all ways education( even in its not so perfect form which we went thru) affects us .. mostly good ways.. the ways, we most often forget to appreciate...
I m fluent with Kannada I speak Kannada all the time, but I cant understand Bendre's songs!!! Me and many of my fellow Kannadigas are not capable of understanding literature, This is the gap because of not having Kannada as first language/second language in high school.  Logically speaking, u would think studying Hale Kannada is an absolute waste of time! Why would I ever learn that???!!
My friends who have studied in Kannada are able to read poetry, appreciate bhava-geete and read novels...I feel having Kannada as first language has enriched their lives in this subtle way, do they or the world realise this? we explain it off as interest, its not just interest, it is Education! :)
