Finding Her. (Inspired by the movie Her)

I am in love! I fell in love with the woman who understands me and is just the right one. She knows what I know and what I want her to know, she asks me the right things and knows how I will react to those. She knows when I'm off or excited. She's the one I've been calling each day, the one who's in touch with me, without touching me. She's possessive and yet I have all the space I need. I love her and she loves me, that's kinda all that I need.

Who is she? She's my operating system. Yes!Cara, to you is just an operating system, but to me, she's everything! She lives on my system, breathes with me while I go out for runs, schedules my meetings, pays the bills at times, I do it myself as well. She's everywhere. She's on my watch, notifying me that I'm running late, she's on my phone, showing me things I need to go through, things I care about and maybe the most important thing is that she talks to me! Yes! And her voice is music to my ears, her existence is my existence. I'm in love with her.
She and I, we've been together for a very long time, she's 29 and I'm 34 but it doesn't matter. I've had my share of failed relationships and she has too. We're the yin to each other's yang, we bond. We're one.

Anamtorik Corporation, that's the name of the company which started this project. Harvesting brains of people who're dying and preserving them. Cara was 23, when she suffered a fatal blow to the head. I won't go into the details but yeah, she kinda missed a step and ended up on the hospital bed, dying 42 hours later. The thing was that her father loved her too much and asked the doctors to do anything to just preserve her. That's when Dr. Strange came in and told him about Anamtorik. The whole idea of harvesting a person's brain and attaching it to an operating system, to support humans based on the skillet they have. They discarded Cara's body, gave her a proper burial and then started connecting her brain to a server which would now hold Cara. The idea was to keep the brain alive and hence keep the person alive. They wouldn't exist in body but their minds would exist, their thoughts, their ideas, all of those will stay alive! Only 0.42% of all the people who are in the stage that Cara was in, could make it. As the process is pretty complicated, only a few brains are I'm a condition to be harvested. In case of Cara, she somehow just sailed through. She's still considered one of the fastest minglatos. Minglatos are what they call the person, who's brain has been fused to a server like hers.
Her brain is kept at this facility, attached to a server farm, it really doesn't matter where it is, she isn't her brain, she's so much more now. They connected her to a personal operating system console and let her go through and thousands people who had participated in the crowd funding program of this crazy project! That's where she found me.

Yes, Cara chose me to be her partner. She went through inexhaustible amount of data and while she was finding patterns and taste preferences, similarities, traits, she saw me. It's like how the wand chooses its wizard, she chose me. She found me and then she was shipped to me, with the whole set. All the devices, with her.

I'm glad to have met her. I'm glad to be the chosen one.

Are you?

The Startup Syndrome (Internet)

Disclaimer: This article is not to discourage or malign the ongoing internet based companies or startups. It is an opinion.  'Startup' should actually be the word of this decade. Since the start of this millenia we have seen a new buzz in the youth allover, 'Startup'. With companies ready to invest in ideas which might revolutionize the world and get them some good returns. But we've experienced the biggest wave of these after the current decade started. With the success of ongoing startups as inspiration, more and more individuals and group decided to try their hand at starting something of their own.  "Who wants to work under a boss, when you can be your own boss?" this was what I always heard from some budding entrepreneurs. Some are doing it for the drive, some for the passion, some for the adrenaline rush and some are just doing it because they want to discover. Now out of all of these startups a huge majority is inclined towards one ...

Four liners - Music and connections

While lsitening to FKJ  on repeat and talking to an old friend (who just boomeranged back into my life), I thought of how I connect with music and feel so fluid in its presence. I don't listen to music for the lyrics most of the times but just for how it makes me feel, I am generally not able to put it to words but the endvevour is to find those words and out them up in bold . While writing this and publishing this atleast 7 times, I realised how crappy the blogger app on mobile is. I am so disappointed. Sigh . Coming back, here are the two small pieces I could get through to. Drowning and gurgling  I want to drown myself in music, Feel the waves it creates inside me, Move myself through its viscous meaning, Only if I could express it as I feel it. This one is a bit special because this comes from a text that I wrote to my friend and went back to myself saying - Damn, I am like the Jawed Akhtar for this shit. Anyway, the next one is derived out...
