This is a continuation of the blog post I am writing " The joy of living ". The wonderful experience of having life. Really an odd topic and I would mention this heading on all the blogs that relate to this as "Joy of living". So this is Joy of living - Part 2:
My Left and Right hand!
I have always found it a fantasy to write with my left hand. Some times I really wish I was a "lefty", doing all things with left hand instead of right. There was once an American president who was said that he could write documents with both hands. Either it was when photocopy machines were not invented or the president had a split personality that his left hand did not' know what his right hand wrote. I say this with audacity as I have tried this many times and have failed. This multiple thing is not in my wish list. I would have think many times which hand I signed a check last time so that the new checks would not be rejected. Have this happened to you? How could it? You are not weird. Welcome to the second part of the series "Joy of Living". I was recently at a church called "Para" where the person who delivered the message was talking about the fact that we are so careless with what we have. Some times I find it true. This person went ahead to tell this amazing proposition, "the only element of change that could be attributed to us as our own are our failures". When we think of it, it seems true.
Like in my case, I wanted to wear spectacles so badly that I watched TV at a very close distance and eventually ended wearing glasses, which I regret deeply that I have to spend huge amount to buy contacts so that the marks those glass made on my nose that makes me look like an alien has to heal.
Our hands, take for instance have a vast network of nerves, blood vessels, both big and small, bones, tendons and several other things that my friends who are doctors can only pronounce. For me those words are like my WEP password "t@e3xds3^#b$d%d". But have it ever crossed your mind that this is too complex to be a product random chemical reactions.
The preacher at the church above asked the congregation if they ever took time to admire their hands. Amazing thought! Have I ever looked at my hand and said "Wow" ? Have you? Have you ever looked at your self and wondered how difficult it is to create this part or that. I have some experience in artificial intelligence and have read about the technical aspects in creating a hand. The movement of fingers, the curving of hand around a ball, the enclosure of the fingers on a face, the gripped hold on a moving vehicle? How amazing and wonderful are the parts that we have. Our eyes? In study of digital image processing, we face many difficulties in setting the aperture, focal point, the clarity, the threshold, primary and secondary colour filters, just to capture an image, and our eyes it captures many many frames a second. Each frame animated to a video, each video transmitted across a thousand electrical hops to a processor and then to a decoder, man to think about the human body, its like all our sciences combined, All the knowledge that human has never will be equal to create a equivalent robot that can process the same emotions, senses, and aspirations we can. Have you considered your self as a piece of art that was made unique and with great caution? As the Psalmist says in Psalms 139:14 "I am fearfully and wonderfully made" have we paid attention as much as the guy who wrote this circa 3000 years ago?
Technology has enabled us to do things we have not done before, but it has still not let us do things that are essential to be done.
There is a story I think of and I want to share with you. I want to ask forgiveness from all before I let you read it, as it may offend some.
The best scientists of the world created a device that could directly get in touch with God and so contacted God.
Though I don't take any lessons from the book "The Hitch Hikers Guide to the Galaxy" there is a part in which Ford and Arthur meet Slartibartfast, who tell them that he had taken time to perfect the mountain ranges, or like the "God- figure" in "Evan Almighty" says to Evan "See the mountains lined from one end to other. I did that." Take time today to see your self, a wonderful creation, brighter than the stars, so perfectly made that the sun is shamed to shine in front of you.
This is what you are, you are a masterpiece.Made after everything that was there to make, God was done with the Sun, moon, plants , stars, fishes, baby dinosaurs and everything, and took his time and said at the bright morning on the sixth day of creation and would have said this, "My, this is a challenge, I am going to make my first man. I am excited and scared, I am so filled with this love, I am going to make the kings and queens of the creation, my son Adam, my daughter Eve, my babies." God says this " I have your name written on my hands that you realise I will never ever forget you.".
God bless you

The best scientists of the world created a device that could directly get in touch with God and so contacted God.| Scientists: | God, we are now at par with you, we have learned the technology and skills to create another being |
| God: | I was expecting you to come with this idea the last time when you came with the tower, but continue I want to hear |
| Scientists: | Well, we had a minor setback then, any way we want to challenge you in creating a man contest |
| God: | I am ready, I had a lot of practice. Any time you say. How would you want this to done? |
| Scientists: | The old way, from dust. |
| God: | Good, its my favourite. Creating from the ribs was longer. |
| Scientists: | 1,2,3 Start the cesmic clocks |
| Scientists | soon gather dust,and start to make a man out of it. |
| God: | Guys, Excuse me, go get your own dust. That is also mine! |
