The tales of a survivor

Consider yourself very lucky, if you've found this letter. I won't give you my location, for fear of being found. I shall not even divulge my co-ordinates. But one thing is very clear to me-I'm a very happy man. My wife of 2 years left me for good. People like each other for all the wrong reasons. For all you care to know, we fought, I cried. She left, she gained. From not being able to live without each other, we managed to be able to not see each other. Anyways, my plane crashed. I was travelling somewhere over the ocean. Only three of us survived. Two died. They couldn't come to terms with the disaster. Some people can't live with change. For all you care to know, the fear of anonymity killed them. The knowledge that you can't get out of here. Anyways, my first act of survival was a horrid one. Food, shelter, the things we take for granted in the modern world; I had to struggle for them. But, I scrapped through. After the plane wreck, we managed to salvage some tools, books, toothbrush, paper, pen. I never knew such rich usages of a screwdriver. Almost like they could be repatented. For all you care to know, life here is an awakening. I don't have to use the alarm clock, switch on the TV, use all those useless gadgets. W've made them to further complicate our life. I even had to learn writing anew. All those years of typing on the keyboard! Anyways, there are species out here and we live in harmony. There is a rule here, if you care to understand. Never take more than you can give. See, I made myself home here. I was bored of the life in the world where all life is spent in accumulating,possessing and fighting over stupid things. Things that have no significance. And this is paradise. For all you know, remember the ads of these real-estate ventures. They all promised of paradise,luxury and an utopian world. They know nothing. Anyways, I'm not telling you this for any grandeur mission or like some new age guru. I'm feeling sorry for you folks. I'm standing at a vantage point on a high cliff and you all seem drowned-doomed.

FRIENDSHIP.........GREETINGS

There is a strange problem that I have been facing. Is there some way by which one can come to term with this? We meet so many people everyday, talk to several on our way to the office,school,college or simply while we travel. We don't tag all of them under the category of a friend. This is because, as we grow older, our 'real' friends decrease and things like acquaint, colleague, accomplice, guide, partner, etc come into our dictionary. We are born out of choice with regards to parents, cousins, sisters, brothers, uncles, etc. But, we almost always choose our friends. Since the time we are born, we start seeing, meeting people. Friendship becomes so naturally in our childhood. Remember, everybody who was anybody used to be a friend then. Adulthood is more about calculated friendship. We don't want to gamble away our time, money, efforts over some friendship. But, the question remains. How many people do we really meet in our lifetime? Hundred, thousand, ten-thousand! I assume, you are not the one sitting at the ticket counter, dispersing tickets and hence meeting 'n' number of people on any day! Okay!What if, we rewind our life. Then we would have to meet all those people again. Everyone. It is a strange coincidence that people choose to meet other people so without any planning. What is the probability of it all? I wish, we could all meet each other atleast once. See, we are a planet of over six billion people. Why is there so much of reproduction if we all have to whither away without ever meeting. I know it sounds crazy. But, wishing for this friendship day......Let everyone of us remain a friend to each other...............for a reason or for no damn reason. See, friendship does not require one!

The Evolution of Toothbrush and Paste

There is one thing about a toothbrush. It never fails to clean our teeth. Even with bad toothpaste. But as toothbrushes have evolved, the human tooth decay has been accentuated. Our ancestors always had a good set of teeth. That was required for their survival. But also, the art of planting paste to a toothbrush is the most daunting task known to mankind. Ever. But even more difficult is the muscle activity involved in moving the little brush over your teeth,standing near the wash basin and then spilling all the poison out of the mouth. If early human would have known this daily ritual, he would have died out of a massive stroke. Anyways, here I am explaining the virtues of tooth polish. Just like shoe cream polishes one's shoes and varnish polishes the furniture and a hair remover polishes off everything else-a toothpaste with a toothbrush polishes your teeth. It also prevents tooth decay, keeps gums healthy and avoids bad breath. But that is for the advertisements to say. With the fit of ads on tooth pastes and brushes, I begin to wonder if the dental trouble is the most important problem before the nation. Even though many doctors suggest brushing, twice daily,I still prefer the ancient way. After dinner or lunch or in their spare time,the ancient way was to sit together huddled, in a corner. Over discussing daily affairs, those people used to use both their hands with all their fingers to progress inside of their respective set of teeth. As these hands entered the mouth, the nails completed rest of the task. The teeth set was spank clean. Dentists were never required
