My First Day at Hospital
Finally, they had me!
For the first time in my life, I was in a hospital. It was quite an experience for a person like me who has never been there, believes in human adaptability & natural healing and is quite lazy too 
The hospital was all fine and not at all like what I had imagined and read in newspapers. But I didn’t quite like it. I didn’t like the need to get checked. I hated it.
I was having lowgrade fever every other month. And some people said it might be something serious. So I was there to get tested for anything other than fever. I don’t even understand the names and effects of those disease! They have taken half a syringe of my blood. Will be applying some chemistry over them to tell me what chemicals (they call it medicine) I need to take.
I was thinking if it turns out to be serious, then… I don’t want to die
I want knowledge! Not faith, not assumptions, but knowledge.
- Antonius:
I want knowledge! Not faith, not assumptions, but knowledge. I want God to stretch out His hand, uncover His face and speak to me. - Death:
But He remains silent. - Antonius:
I call out to Him in the darkness. But it’s as if no one was there. - Death:
Perhaps there isn’t anyone. - Antonius:
Then life is a preposterous horror. No man can live faced with Death, knowing everything’s nothingness. - Death:
Most people think neither of death nor nothingness. - Antonius:
But one day you stand at the edge of life and face darkness. - Death:
That day. - Antonius:
I understand what you mean.
This is a dialog from The Seventh Seal, one of the best movies I have ever watched. I can quote so many lines that are just close to my heart. I highly recommend you to watch this. What wikipedia has to say about this movie is:
The Seventh Seal (Swedish: Det sjunde inseglet) is an existential 1957 Swedish film directed by Ingmar Bergman about the journey of a medieval knight across a plague-ridden landscape, and a monumental game of chess between himself and the personification of Death, who has come to take his life. The film has long been regarded a masterpiece of cinema.
And here are some more lines from the movie:
“I met Death today. We are playing chess.”
“Love is the blackest of all plagues… if one could die of it, there would be some pleasure in love, but you don’t die of it. “
“I want to confess as best I can, but my heart is void. The void is a mirror. I see my face and feel loathing and horror. My indifference to men has shut me out. I live now in a world of ghosts, a prisoner in my dreams. “
“Have you met the devil? I want to meet him too. I want to ask him about God. He must know. He, if anyone. “
Zong GPRS Plays Youtube Videos Very Well
I’ve always been a heavy data-user on my mobile service. But since I got unlimited data plan (a day ago), I’m not hesitant in opening heavy sites, allowing images & javascript and all. I am on Zong network. The procedure to get the unlimited GPRS can be made more simple. Their call center representative told me to get a balance of 460+ and then call him back. I did and then he filed my request in some queue telling me that my unlimited gprs will be activated within 24 hours (”if you maintain your balance to 460+”). So thats how I got unlimited data plan.
Now my youtube experience with Zong GPRS: Last night when power was out and I was laying in bed. I thought to visit that youtube mobile portal. And clicked on one of the featured videos from home page and then “Watch Video” and WOW, it streamed very smooth without a single second pause. I never thought a gprs connection can do this for me. Thanks Zong. I’ll be waiting for when you offer EDGE (and 3G). I guess, I will abandon my exile then
Testing wordpress mobile client
Hello all, i’m writing this post via a wordpress client for symbian os. Hope it works or i’ll write my own.
update: so it worked! The client is Scribe. Its written in python. I had to install python for symbian before installing this client. Its quite slow, may be because its not native symbian code.
As my mobile sees me
I just took this pic using my cell. And with just one click on my mobile it was on flickr. And with some more clicks i’m blogging it.
