Doing just nothing!

"A man who dares to waste one hour of time has not discovered the value of life yet."

Well, there's something freaky in store for you in case you have lost your mind reading my previous blog posts. So, what exactly are you doing when you do nothing? Yes, you read that right, what are we doing when we are doing nothing. Just nothing. The answer is as simple as the question: "Nothing".

If we go look clearly, our body is doing a huge amount of work even when we are not doing anything. This work is done so that our body's essential processes do not stop, and we keep ourselves healthy and running! So, how much exactly is our body doing when we pretend to do nothing? You'll be surprised that an average school going boy of height 65 inches and his age being 15 years spends about 1393.81 calories when he is doing nothing. That is pretty impressive, right?

That is not all, when you do nothing, you waste 60 seconds with every minute passing by. And if you are a couch potato, and spend an average of an hour everyday doing nothing then you actually waste 365 hours doing nothing every year. And believe me, in these 365 hours, you can do fabulous things, instead of just lying down, and doing nothing. Indeed, small hours get together to make a big year! Well said, nah?

To continue giving you shocks, let me ask you something, how many of us have seen those second hands in a clock stay in one position for a little longer than usual. This usually happens when we quickly look at the clock and then turn to look at an object away from the clock, and then suddenly, look at the clock again.The second hand would appear to move from where you first saw it, but in reality, you are seeing it after around 3 seconds.(This wholly depends on how long you look at the other object!)

Well, I would not go into details, but those fraction of seconds that our brain loses to capture, add up to an huge amount in a course of an entire day. To get you up your chair, 40 minutes of sight are lost everyday when we move our eyeballs. Pretty awesome, right?

Hmm..that said, I don't think that we would stop telling people that we are doing nothing. But yes, in the back of our minds, we would certainly know that while we are doing nothing, we are actually doing a lot of things unknowingly. Happy working, guys and gals!

The matrix : We all are one

"In a broader prospective, we all have the same features, same body, same skin, same hands, and most of all, the same connection of feelings!"

Well most of us did feel that something does actually connect us with one another some time or later, right? Now, the thing is, how far is this right? Do we actually are connected, or is it just another misconception. We are yet to find out, or probably, we are yet to read out.

According to me, we are connected. Everyone of us. We think together, might not live together, but certainly share the same thoughts which actually is an outcome of something really huge. Something unimaginable. The farthest I can go in this theory is by best giving you an example. And that could possibly be the Matrix.

Think of the Matrix as a huge database where every thing is stored. Everything. Every single thing that can possibly be existing on this earth, and every possible thing that can thought of. Yes, that is a HUGE database.

And the best part of this database is that every existing person on this earth has a permit to extract data from it. All you have to know is how to do it. You can be everything you want and anything you want.you just have to know how to do it.

There are billions of people connected to this database consciously and unconsciously. Right this moment, you are connected to it. What you do, what you think, everything is extracted from the database with our without your knowing.

What your friends think about you, or what you think about them, both your thoughts are connected. The simplest example of this is when you think bad about someone, you notice him/her turning bad against you automatically. You might have not thought about this change in character before, but now you know so try putting the practical to theory. They change because your thoughts towards them change. And the reason why your thoughts change them is because you all are connected. You all are a part of the same massive database, the Matrix.

Actually, this theory can be expanded to no limits, but I would like to end it with a great saying that "treat others the way you want to be treated". I certainly think that the person who said that definitely had an idea of the Matrix!

Rest is up to you, crazy minds!

Sixth Sense : Concept or hidden truth?

"Woah! Is someone standing behind me? Or is it just my weird feeling! No wait... its my sixth sense, right?"

We have seen it in Spiderman as the "Spidey Sense", we have seen it in Superman, we have seen it in almost every super hero, but have we seen it in us? Actually, there has to be someone who actually felt this sense before and decided to make up a fictional character, and since Science proved us that we have only five senses, it was a instant hit!

Now what's weird is that, we ourselves feel this every now and then. How many of us had that weird feeling that some one is behind our back, or maybe the feeling of some one watching us, or that feeling that someone is looking into our direction, even though we are not looking towards them? All the questions have one and only one answer, its our Sixth Sense working for us!

Pretty awesome right? But obviously, this doesn't mean that we can pull out web from our hands, or probably circle around the earth.. that's all truly fictional folks! Scientist have been working real hard to prove this awesome feature of our body as a truth, and so far, its all good news. It seems to me that there is a pigment layer in our eyes which can sense small amounts of heat and presence around us, and via nerves sends messages to our brain.

Since we all know our bodies are made up of heat, this might sound convincing. But still, proves are to be handed! Well, we all do feel it at times, and most of the times, we end up seeing someone behind us. Science tells us that there are different ways to which different brains of different people react. Some are more sensitive to presence around us, while some do not feel any thing at all. It completely depends on the capacity and power of the brain. But, in general, the sixth sense plays an important role.

One thing should be taken care of here is, note that sixth sense should not be compared to visions. Both are entirely different concepts. I accept the fact that it would be fun to compare those two around some time later! Right now, sixth sense, is true? Or is just a fictional power?

Actually, its totally up to you to decide whether this is true or not. But I consider this to be a topic which needs a serious lift. How many of us have that feeling of guilt that some one is watching us when we are doing something wrong? Maybe its just the sub conscious mind working, or maybe... its the sixth sense playing a role again? The real surprise comes to us when we prove ourselves that some one was actually watching us! See, the whole point of this post is to help you decide whether you want to believe in this or not.

Next time when you feel that some one is standing behind you, or whether someone is looking at you, try giving a serious thought to this! Cheers!
