Frame of Mind

The wise man donned his pedagogical tone, and started writing. His followers looked on eagerly. This person was known to have a fertile mind, and discussed topics that could be ascribed to an oasis in a dreary desert plain.

He delved into the why and whats of the most inane things, and the followers lapped them.

The Year was 2007 - the Chinese year of the Pig, the month was October - the month of Ramadan. The internet, voice over IP, wireless networks were normal words - not buzzwords anymore. When the master penned his thoughts that day, and introduced a concept called the 'Network', the crowd waited with bated breath. They thought something more was coming. The network was too simple and self-explanatory. But there was none. Maybe, the master was trying to teach us to read between the words and find a hidden meaning said one. Immediately, his writing was scanned with a new purpose to no avail.

The crowd was getting imaginative. Maybe, the master was experimenting with time travel, setting himself back by a couple of years, and seeing if he could invent these things over by himself again. But can the mind unlearn what has been learned, even though the time machine sets one back?

We would never know the frame of mind that prompted that blog from Mindframes.

Mindframes had taken up his marathon form of penance again, and the crowd gathered to cheer him on. He sailed through like always. The limelight shone on him when the questions commenced:

Following: What prompted that post from you?
Mindframes: Sometimes, the obvious seems obvious, but it isn't really obvious unless we think of it as an obvious thing

Following nodding sincerely....
Following: But, were you trying to infer something, or were you intending for us to infer something. Did you want to introduce a complex topic?
Mindframes: There is nothing complex about anything. All you have to do is apply your mind. The mindblock can be removed if you start analyzing and applying your analysis in a logical manner.
The following has read that theory before, and they are trying now to analyze and apply their analysis to the latest post.

Mindframes continues.."Maybe, the mind limits itself at something when we hit something a little less than obvious. I don't know. .."

With these words of wisdom ringing in their ears, the crowd dispersed to pore over the latest interview ending with the now famous words "I don't know" (The crowd knew that was the Master's nurturing way of inviting conversation)

If time travel did work, what would be unleashed next? Theory of Relativity.....Quantum mechanics....I don't know.

Regardless, the crowd awaited his next post with fervour and enthusiasm.
