When you don't know what to do!

One may often land in a situation where you don't really know what to do. It invariably would happen when you don't expect it to happen and you are not prepared. When you are forced to wait for your physician at the clinic; forced to wait for your wife to get back after her scan in the scan center as it happened to me sometime back or an unexpected flight delay  etc., you could be invariably unprepared for the eventuality of spending a couple of hours with your half charged mobile in which you have already completed reading all the posted stories; irrelevant forwarded messages in WhatsApp, Face book etc. I spent some time updating some apps and rechecking all old mails. Still there was time. I realized how time flies if you need to get ready and go somewhere and how it slows down when you don't have anything to do and don't know what to do. The principle of imprisonment is to detach you from your routine world and keep you for long with out you having to do anything serious. This is expected to make you repent and change for the better although it often may not be the case. The adage "an idle brain is the devil's workshop" is very true. An aptitude for writing is possibly the best to spend bonus time usefully. Everyone should learn to put down their thoughts, however good or bad the language and story telling skills. Your blogs and other writings would be new and quite interesting to you if not for others, if you read after a while. The excitement caused would be directly proportional to the gap after which you read. You may even wonder whether you wrote it. If there is one thing which is remarkable about modern smartphones, it's their ability to keep you engaged in more ways than one. But some oldies including my wife, do not bother or even think high of people sitting with their computers for hours but scoff at people meddling with their phones which is actually much more than computers. For scores of youngsters, it's their world. You feel highly handicapped if you are without your phone even few minutes including the restroom time but with the exception of bathing time. Maybe sooner than later, smart phones that would be safe and work fifty feet under water may come and you can use even while bathing. Like the"Google glass" in future you can just keep your phones in your pocket and use it without taking out. If you just think what you want it to do , it will do. You just start thinking a command like" OK Google" and just think further what it has to do. It will carry out faithfully. Although, some of you would suspect me to have gone crazy not knowing what to do, others would understand my desire to foresee the unforseable, as no body could have predicted or even dreamt of what is happening today. I hope and wish that no one in future would have a time when they won't know what to do.
