Delete button

Hey for successful computing in your career, the four requisite tools are Ctrl+C, Ctrl+V, Ctrl+X and delete button.
Sabse important tool to edit anything is delete button.Typewriter ke zamaane ko yaad karo toh zara. First u had to write out the entire draft, make corrections and then type out the entire thing.If u had to improvise later, type the entire thing again.What an excruciatingly painful life.
Comp made everything easy.Just edit as you go on writing. Change and take a print, still more changes - change and take a print......

Recently saw a marathi movie - kadachit (meaning shayad in hindi, perhaps in english).The lead female in the movie has a very horrific childhood.Watching her parents fight day-in,day-out and her mom losing her life in front of the kid's eyes at the hands of her dad. These memories haunted her so much that after seeing her dad 20 years later,she lost herself.The movie is about how she could get back her life with the help of her husband and friends......

The movie made me think of the delete button.Kaash yeh delete button apni life mein hota.Matlab what i dont wana think, what i dont wana remember, what i dont wana feel should just be deleted from my mind.Kuch baatein, kuch kisse, kuch things hai jo hum bhul jaana chahti hain. Just Ctrl+X it out of your life. But mind doesn't help.Yeh hamaare haath mein kyun nahi hai.Shayad hai bhi - bahut willpower chahiye. "I'll not think about this." Keep repeating this to yourself until that thought is out of your mind.......

I wana Ctrl+C and Ctrl+V my sweet memories and Ctrl+X and delete my bad memories. Will it be possible.Time will tell.........

guess it is an interesting thought, having a delete button in our lives, so that we can erase all the bad things in life and save only the normal or best moments in life, a good material for a blockbuster bhojpuri or a tamil movie ( no offence intended to my country men in the respective states). Give it a deeper thought and you would find that this is most sickening thing that can happen to our lives. If we start deleting whatever we don't like, there would be no learning .

A child deleting the bad memories of falling down painfully everytime he/she tried to walk, would never learn to walk. A teenager deleting the bad memories of freak bike accident, while he was treating his local hero honda as a ducati, would never be out of the hospital. A teenage girl erasing her bad love experience with a creepy guy, would end being a slut. Imagine what would happen if a father erased all the painful memories of a fatherhood and the most scariest of all, a mother deleting her painful emotions of conceiving a child.

Though we have a hatred towards all the bad things that we have experienced in our lives,we shouldn't forget that these bad memories have taught us a lot of things which made us wiser, if not for them, probably there wouldn't be any life worth living
