What happens when the world around you comes to a complete stop? What happens when you experience the ultimate shutdown? What happens when you never wake up from your sleep? What happens when you exchange the labels for east and west? What happens when you change your definition of time? What happens when alphabets and numbers end up as being meaningless? What happens when money becomes worthless?
Strange questions, but do we ever think about these events? Enter the world of extreme counterfactuals. Our life revolves around assumptions. We say that there are only 24 hours in the day. Does that always have to be the case. All it requires is changing an assumption on the time scale, converting every half hour to the equivalent of an hour resulting in 48 hour days. Is it worth the trouble? Thats a completely different question, which I dont want to get into here.
Alrighty folks! I'm out of my mind, thoroughly bored and disillusioned. So pardon my ramblings.
[All right Mano. Here is the opportunity you have been waiting for :-)]

Beauty of our mind is..it procastinates/post-pones the tons of thoughts and try to be idle (or doing fun things) when we should be busy. But when it is really idle it starts going crazy..and wants more thoughts!
Ramblings like these goes in peoples head at different point of time and then they go away. Thanks to google/blogging, mind finds a way to put that on pages...
Rambling is good... The more rambling you do, the more coherent the rambling it gets...As the rambling smooths itself down to very coherent rambling, you get a PhD...:)
@Mindframes,
Good one, da !! :-)
@ Madmax,
In the same note, I could easily give Mindframes a double PhD for all the rambling that goes on ...
I dont know, why Mano decided to ignore this rambling ? :-)
