TOW .... HIS-story

the first human emerged 35,000 yrs back .
(ok obviously , it was a set of humans , and not a single guy , but for ease of writin/readin ... in this post i'm addressing them collectively and using singularity )

so yeah ... the first one emerged 35K yrs back .
for the next 30,000 yrs , he lived peacefully .
he had simple goals in life : hunt - eat - sleep - have sex . period

the more he did the last one , the more he liked IT .
but with all the hunting and climbing and running around the jungles , he couldnt have enough of IT .
so he started cultivating , giving him more time to do IT .
now he shud have been happy wit his life rite ?
his simple life of : cultivate - eat - sleep - have sex . period

but noooo . our man , was greedy . he wanted to do more of IT .
which meant more time . so he started engineering simple mechanical tools , that could aid him in his agri biz and give him more time for doing IT .
by now he shud have really controlled his greed , stopped anymore development , and enjoyed his peaceful-happy-content-simple life of : cultivate wit tools - eat - sleep - have sex . period

but noooo , he got so obsessed wit doing more of IT , that in order to generate time , he started creating more and more tools , until the whole automation bizness ( the whole point of which was to reduce effort and create time to do IT ) ended up taking more time than his primary activity of doing IT .
also wit all the doin IT that he did , he produced more of his own kind , that brought organizational and control problems .

soon his simple happy life was infested with horrible inventions like : religion , education , money , ego , pride , profits , classes , territories ....

then came 1700 AD . the Industrial Revolution happened .
34,700 yrs after he emerged for the first time .

and in the next 300 yrs , he created the darnest things .
things that dont even remotely support the cause of 'him doin IT' .

for instance ... he studied light . and tortured it until it got confused about its own identity . now the poor thing walks about roads , drunk , singing , " i'm a wave , may be a particle , who am i ? sine and cos , or photons my boss " !!

he split the poor little electron , studied all the mess of crap that was inside it , and made mathematical equations that no-one understands to define it !! the electron itself for one definitely does not understand it .

Now the world has to live with -> Schrödinger’s wave equation , deBroglie's theorem , wave convolutions , Fermat’s theorem , relativity , azhimutals quantam numbers , jacobian derivatives , markovian models , quantum foam , organic chemistry , hindu rituals , christian preachers , meaningless politics , hot beer , britney spears , mega k-serials , being a non-IITian , sop , reco letters , visa problems , heoretical education , chicks who wont give in , sadistic teachers , anna university exams ...


its funny to even think that , to start of with , all this had to do with something as simple as :
EATing , SLEEPing and DOing IT !!
