Simulated Reality

"One Tip One Hand, Baby Over, Tipi Tipi Top, Ghoda Badam Chai, Sitolia" etc used to be the terms used till the 90's. But now slowly these are becoming extinct coz' now we have a Simulation of Virtual Gaming on each of our Android & iOS Devices.

We have Candy Crush, Hay Day, Leo's Fortune, Ashpalt, NFS, GTA, Monument Valley, Riptide GP2 etc right in our pockets and we need not to go outside to Play Games or get Entertained. 
Games simulate our mind the same way as we act in real life situations, but the actual action is not happening; So basically we are confusing our brains with our eyes open on a costly iPad Air.

Playing games on computer used to be unacceptable during school days, when Mom used to scold us by giving the threat that "If you play too many games, you may spoil your eyesight"

The irony being, now we teach our parents about the new apps on the Playstore and the question whether "Playing games on iPad/Tablet is Good or Bad....remains an unsolved problem"

But why are these innocent Free Games abysmal after all? And secondly why are people forcing us to play them ? Or are they ? May be not..who knows ?

Grandparents used to tell us to play outside, but we have enclosed ourselves in a room in-order to play with friends around the globe. I loved playing games since childhood & I play them till I Complete them. But nowadays, Games do not end. There are infinite levels in each and every one of them and thousands of incentives to keep you sticked. So what do we do ? Should we Play a Little and Delete or Play only 1 and try to Complete or May be we dont play them and Enter Reality.

Games today are a Trap, although Apps were meant for improving our lives by making a device do more and Games were a part of it too, so as to fill in the void of time.

The integration of Social Networking has "actually" made us believe that we are playing with our Friends. Although technically we do. 

Our body secretes similar chemicals while playing games that it would emanate in Real Life Situations and thus gaming feels soo real and we tend to like it more and more. But the action is not happening in practical life, neither are we able to touch the Object nor are we actually doing Work.

I am not onto the Nintendo where you can Play Tennis and Boxing etc with a small stick in your hand. I am yet to analyse the intricacies of it. But the games we play daily on a flat tablet or computer has Questioned my Existence !

We are only giving commands/signals to get a work done. This is what happens in Day Dreaming, we get a thought and start feeling in the direction we wish to. Only that we do not have to accept any License Agreement, nor do we have Advertisements. But we do have distractions in our mind that stop us from dreaming. So why pay and Play Games when u can Dream for Free ?


After getting Frustrated from 7 games on my tablet simultaneously and waiting for 2 minutes more so that my airport gets upgraded to Level 47 really made me think that all the effort I applied on this silly 7 inch tablet, had I done some Physical Labour, I would have owned a real Aerodrome. 

At the end Conclusion seems simple that we shouldn't play too much Games. But hey, which level are u on Candy Crush ? Coz u keep sending me that extra life as a Good Gesture ;p
