Simple pleasures of life

Are we losing out on enjoying simple pleasures of life? This thought crossed me because one of my friends told, 'I ll like to come up with a computer program which will match 2 ppl based on their compatibility'. I was like, 'Really? Do you want to lose out on enjoying those moments where you are still getting to know the other person. Or the satisfaction that you actually found that person with whom you can be happy?'

Yesterday, I watched a play about Mahatma Gandhi. There was a scene in which Gandhi is kinda against technology because it is making the man very lazy. He (the actor) says, 'why do we need vehicles? Purpose of a man kind is not to reach places quickly. There is a higher purpose for this life. We can take the journey slow and enjoy every moment of it'. This dialogue actually struck chords with me. Please oh please, get off your computers, mobiles, ipods, ipads, other tablets, wii, nintendos, xbox etc etc and enjoy something natural :) Saying so, I am logging off :D:P
