each morning wakes me to the colour of the dawn and I kickstart the day with multiple activities -- offsprings of a million thought cells guessing results by processing inputs like climate and weather… (will it rain today? should I take my umbrella or is it going to be warm) like multi-threaded programs of the modern computers, simultaneously reacting with complicated computations using corridors of communication -- some wired by fixations, others wireless and mobile (each day feels like a dozen talk-show hosts, all talking at the same time voicing opinions some cluttered, others crystal clear) sometimes I feel like a modern washing machine: plug-and-play buttons on the outside and a hundred thousand chips on the inside that proceed to perfom the complicated task of doing the ungainly job of cleaning dirty laundry of cleaning someone else’s mess (and that someone even has the right to complain) yet beneath the layers of the mysteries of modern science, I have been told that the computer is quite dumb it only knows ones and zeros -- the language of the binary then why in the name of the ENIAC do we make it more difficult? why can’t we keep some things simple? (like they are meant to be just like you and me when we were 3 and 4 or maybe even 5 or 6) kiss: keep it stupid & simple or is it "keep it simple, stupid!" thanks for reading...  |

I could do it, but it would take hours to write this responce in machine code. Words may be more complex but they are a lot better when it comes to expression, I am sure you as a poet would agree. Good Work, Zall |

(each day feels like a dozen talk-show hosts, all talking at the same time voicing opinions some cluttered, others crystal clear) I know this feeling well. An excellent poem. I enjoyed it very much. Indeed, why don't we keep it simple? We as humans seem to want to complicate our lives. A quirk I guess.  |

sometimes I feel like a modern washing machine: plug-and-play buttons on the outside and a hundred thousand chips on the inside that proceed to perfom the complicated task of doing the ungainly job of cleaning dirty laundry of cleaning someone else’s mess I suddenly feel alot more sympathy for my brother, he is a software engineer. Wonderful write, loved the KISS bit lol. Battle not with monsters lest ye become a monster, and if you gaze into the abyss, the abyss gazes also into you. - Friedrich W. Nietzsche |

 (smiles) I'd say I love "Keep it simple, stupid!" better! LOL! This is very wonderfully said, sweet friend, Occam's Razor is what I believe in too, the simpler, the better! Well-said, sweet friend, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Sudhir, thank you for sharing!  May love and light alwyas shine upon you!
