Imagine that you are attending a seminar/conference/lecture and the host says that the best questioner would be awarded. Now imagine, surprisingly enough, you come up with one such question and you are dying to ask it out loud!
However, at your very moment of limelight, some strange person, whom you never even noticed coming into the hall, spoils your moment of glory by asking the same question in an amazingly superior way. You get unfathomably tongue-tied, seething and hell-to-the-power-of-infinity degree distracted, waiting for the seminar to end. Sometimes my thoughts tend to fly so high that a drastic downfall is almost inevitable. At that moment, I dearly wish that my thoughts were unique - that the questions which come to my mind hadn't occurred to anyone else - and above all, that I be considered an INTELLECTUAL! :P
Crazy but true.
All this said; now consider an altogether different scenario. Let me give you an example. Suppose that you have bought the latest android phone in market, but due to some very strange reason, every time you try to make a call the phone turns off! Or maybe, you are at your office and while testing some software you get an unheard-of error message. What is the first thing that one would try under these circumstances? I normally ask people around what can be done about this. Then when I do not get a satisfactory answer (which happens most of the times that you are desperately in need of help – like Mr. Murphy's Law) I resort to Google.
Google almost always has an answer to everything – whatever be the problem you can always count on Google. And the reason Google is so helpful is BECAUSE it connects together people with the SAME questions, same thoughts!!
Life is ironic.. :-)
The irony is that you can't use real rain to make movies.
