Virtual ‘Real’ity

Since gaming is my passion, i cannot stay away much longer from them. Gaming after all these years has mixed with my blood like an alchohal in an alchoholic. Earlier it was Ragnarok India. Since that gaming server is in the tatters now, i am now hooked to something called World of Warcraft. And this game is humongous. It a total different universe with fantasy based theme. Those who have seen or read Lord of the Rings Trilogy will be familiar with races like Night Elves, Dwarfs, Gnomes, Orcs, Trolls & Undeads. And it continues the WC saga right after Warcraft III: The Frozen Throne (WCIII:TFT). At the moment I am playing a Tauren Druid with players from India. The best part about WoW (World of Warcraft) is that its quest system and PvP system are quite comprehensive and interesting. Apart from one or two quests, i’ve not encountered quest that involves intense grinding.

 

Its so much popular nowadays that Southpark featured a full episode around this epic game : Make Love not Warcraft

Kudos to Blizzard for making such a comprehensive MMORPG.

 

Father of Nation?

We use them everyday and in every sphere of life. But why does our currency notes have only picture of one person on them? From 10 to 1000, its all picture of one person. Did we attained freedom by only sole efforts of one man? Or is it that like every other politician, our bureaucrats have also forgotten the contribution of other men & women in freedom struggle.

Look at the various denominations of the dollar – It has full range of its forefathers and important persons portrayed on them.

When the whole nation is literally euphoric on re-discovering the Father of Nation, why this discrimination against the sons and the daughters of India? I am unable to understand the reason for this apathy. Where are the portraits of likes of Maulana Abul Kalam Azad, Subash Chandra Bose, Shaheed Bhagat Singh, Rajguru, Sukhdev, Shaheed Udham Singh, Mangal Pandey, Abdul Ghaffar Khan, Lala Lajpat Rai, Chandrashekhar Azad, Sardar Patel, Bal Gangadhar Tilak and the list goes on…….

Bah! When Indian Govt. will start paying attention to such matters?
