The other day I was surfing the net and having a look at the available portable mp3 players. ‘Technology is changing face with each passing day’ is a statement of the bygone days. It’ll be more suitable if we say ‘Technology is changing face with each passing moment”. I too am fond of music as everyone else apparently is. I often wonder if we ever listen to the music in the real sense. I pose a question to all the readers: How many times have you enjoyed listening to the music? By enjoyed, I mean not through your ear but listening by heart. Okay, let’s conduct a short technology survey upon ourselves:

Step 1: Count the number of gadgets you have on which you can listen to music.

Step 2: How many times did you enjoy listening to the music by heart?

If the number in the answer to the question posed in Step 1 exceeds that in Step 2, watch out, you are addicted to technology than you ought to be.

Remember, we don’t need any electronic gadgets to enjoy the chirping of birds, the rustling of leaves, the rhythmic sound of the flowing river…the list can go on and on and on.

Do give it a thought!

    Well, if you have an iPod and did not listening to the music, you better gt yourself a new set ear-phones, if you are listening to music on a high-end music system and still didn’t enjoy it, well get your ears checked, if you listen to music on your PC’s speakers & did not enjoy, boy you need to spend money in buying better equipment.

    Here in Bombay, you will find a gutter & not a river and that’s not such a pleasant site, you will not find rustling of leaves but honks of cars.
