The talkative sweeper

Mom, this trash looks so big, I am not able to swallow it. Let me move to the other side of the bedroom for sometime. Wow..! This surface is so smooth, let me dance for sometime here. Up.., and Down... That feels perfect. 


Let me tell you something about life, all you gonna live is for few days or years. Live your life to the fullest, don't waste your time sleeping, worrying or being sad. That is going to rob your time. Look at me, nobody in this house cares about me, but its my duty in my existence to do the cleaning and I embrace the moment when this family compliments me during their dinner time speaking about the floor and its tidiness. Are you saying I shouldn't expect that gratification? You are absolutely right, I only quoted a certain event that made me happier but, I will never expect such compliments or rewards to come that would bring greediness in me. If I become greed, I would start to try shortcuts, shortcuts will get me nowhere. A goal reached by using shortcuts will get me my reward but I will lose happiness and joy which are essential to experience success and fulfillment. 

One fine morning, as I started to unlock myself from the charging dock. To my surprise all the sensors started to find some patterns that were classifying to be as dust. At once, I started to think if I am getting aged or something not not wrong with me. But as I moved a bit closer, all of them resolved to small polythene carry bags. I know, this world uses more of those that my ancestors used to avoid totally as it harms the atmosphere. As I started to suck in those trash of polythene bags, I got to taste some sweetish substance and there I found a strawberry half eaten. I was quite happy to take it in and my intestine very well welcomed it. 

Did I tell you something about myself? Uh, No?? My name is Jeff Magneton, I have been living in a good relationship with this family in this house for almost a decade now. They feed me nice stable current of 220V for an hour every morning and that's my only morning diet. I wait and watch my dad and mom getting ready to their office and the amount of swiftness they would have in their low powered brain legacy processor is quite disappointing. To be direct, that's harmful for both the world and for them. I am powered with a tiny processor to coordinate the task that is programmed in me. I have got 100 legs along my side and 8 wheels to crawl through the floor and climb staircase. Unfortunately, I am not provided with hands like how humans have got. So, the 50 legs equates to 1 leg of a human being. I have pairs of 20 hybrid eyes that are embedded on my forehead. Can you see them? Its not colored boringly in black - white, but in red color. Why am I looking flat and fat? Oh yeah, I forgot to tell you, I have a big temporary deposit collector inside me where different kind of litters are classified based on recyclable and non-recyclable. Sounds interesting right? Yes! I am the most useful person living in this house. Just for fun, don't tell this to my dad or mom, they gonna chase me out and you know very well that I find it difficult to crawl through rough surface as my legs are not too strong enough to take in the shocks that comes in front of me. And so, I anytime prefer to stay inside the house making sure that all the floors are neat and shiny.

Never saw it that way

Its been almost 5 months since I moved to this room which is in the ground floor of this beautiful apartment. I have been enjoying the stay here for its beautiful surrounding, there is a children's park right beside my room. The apartment faces to a big lake that has a walking pavement for morning joggers. I spend my beginning hour of my day just breathing some fresh air walking around the lake listening to some sermons of Ravi Zacharias. The room is located just below the balcony of the houses above. Families used to grow plants in pots at their balconies close to the grill that acts as a protection for children. Whenever they fill in water, little amount of water used to fall right in front of my door that would spoil the texture of the soil and I used to feel little dejected sometime. There are kids in those houses, they used to throw strange items like half eaten fruits, laddus, some floor mixed water. I used to consider myself lucky whenever I get out of my door feeling the ...

When do I stop praying?

Last Sunday, I had gone to this beautiful church named Calvary temple for the English service. I was much impressed by the sound of the drums though they used only a Roland octapad with 2 extended crash and ride cymbals which were electronic. Followed by the praise and worship was the testimony time. They showed three testimonies among which the second was quite shocking to me, where a husband and wife were living in a house with a sweet young daughter. The mother had her influence in the cine world and the bad day came when one of the workers in her industrial firm trapped her by his attractive words promising for a chance in a lead role in the upcoming movie, and the young and innocent mother fell prey to this and the whole family was at once shattered. The mother left their family and moved in with her colleague to start their living together life. While, the father of the daughter started to search for her mother in every place in their locality and wherever he thought she would ...

Towards a purposeful life - I

Don't have illusions.  No business is easy to start. "If I get into this space, raw materials are freely available and the number of workers needed would be less. We could easily automate it." Stop it. No, no raw material comes for free. The workers would keep growing and there is no decrease in number of resources needed as the company grows. You can but dream once your company attains to a research based implementation, there are some chances you could start to reduce the number of physical workers needed.  Where are you planning to establish the company? Discussions keep happening, but there is no initiative. Currently looking for lands that would come for Do I get fruits and vegetables for free?  In agricultural lands, one can find lot of fruits and vegetables and the scale at which people export will tell you there is good amount of raw materiel you will be able to gather just 15 km from your facility. And focus on partially decayed fruits and vegeta...
