The Internet
Whenever I think of internet, one story comes into my mind.
Story:
There was a magician. He had one pot! Which who ever asks for a color it used to give the color which the person has asked for. If a man comes and asks for color red, then it used to pour red color.
The person who was observing this, went to the magician and asked for the color which the pot had. Magician smiled in reply, told the man that, pot gives the color based on the request, it won't give the color which the pot has. Pot does not contain any color. When a person asks for a color, it will give whatever was asked for.
Same way internet will be helpful if you know what you want or what you want to know. It would be of no use if one doesn't know if what he want!

what went wrong?
Prologue:
Its more than 6 months, since, since my vehicle insurance got expired. I was told by several people around, get it renewed.
In reply, told them, they[traffic police] have not caught me till date. Also it is not worth of having an insurance. They just laughed at me, in reply, I joined them.
Scene:
It was sunny afternoon. After waiting for more than hour for learning license for my hypothetical car, I was on my way to home.
[Two months before in the city helmet was made compulsory for two-wheelers in city. I had managed to roam around without helmet.]
On my way back saw the white Jeep and two traffic constables inquiring the drivers/riders. Stopped my vehicle. Thought of turning around. Then, thought came in mind, what will he do lets face the consequence. Directed my vehicle. As expected, Traffic Police [TP] 1waived and asked me to stop.
TP1: "where is your helmet?"
me: [in low tone voice] that... some... scratches on the helmet glass..."
TP1: "take your vehicle to side"
There was no increase in heartbeat as it was expected. Turned off the ignition key and took it.
I was waiting for another traffic police for verification of documents as TP1 went to catch other bikes. Another traffic police was writing fine receipts for other vehicles which TP1 had caught . He asked me to park the vehicle, side of the road and asked me to show me driving license. Showed my driving license, to the him. Then, he asked me to show the insurance copy.
Till now, I was bit happy that he didn't ask me about the helmet. Hmm... without showing any sign of disappointment opened the copy of expired insurance copy and gave him the same. Looking at it, he asked me not this copy another one.
With questioned face I asked him, this was the only insurance copy I had and I don't have any other copy.
"This insurance copy is expired. You have to give Rs.500 as fine amount".
I don't know what came into my mind, instead of accepting my mistake, told him that, I had paid the full insurance amount while purchasing the vehicle for life time. He told what I had paid is for, road tax. Insurance will expire each year and we need to renew the same.
Giving the money was not a problem. I was thinking if I had that much amount or not. Surprisingly, from the secret place of my valet found crisp 500 rupee note. I have it to him without any bad feeling about loosing the money.
Wen he was writing receipt, thought this was a chance for me to learn, "Why do we need vehicle insurance?" directed the question to him. He looked into my eyes, examined for a moment. Then started telling why we need to get vehicle insurance. I have listed below for reference:
a) If any damage occurs to vehicle by self or from other party
b) If vehicle is stolen
c) If any accident happens to us
d) If we die from the accident
e) If we hit other person
f) If vehicle is stolen
in all the above cases, insurance company will give money based on the terms and conditions. If you don't have the insurance then you will be the only responsible for the after cause.
It will always be a nice experience to learn from one who has knowledge.
Listened to him and thanked him for the knowledge what he has shared with me. Don't know what came to his mind, suddenly, went to his boss who was sitting in the Jeep and had a conversation with him which couldn't hear. Came back, said "Sir, you are innocent! you didn't knew about the insurance. So, I will be writing only Rs.200 as fine amount".
This came a surprise for me. I was confused about his behavior. Meanwhile he handed over me 3 hundred rupee notes with receipt of Rs.200 fine amount.
Asked me to get my insurance renewed. I thanked him and took a leave from that place with confused state of mind.
Epilogue:
Told the same stories to my friends, for which they laughed. But no one told I did a mistake! Yes, It was mistake from my part to lie about the insurance. I don't know exact cause for lie.
Was it an Ego, That "I am" not wrong anytime?
Was it due to the fear of not having, which is required? couldn't decide the exact reason. Certainly, it was not about the money. It was about the behavior of mine.
Threads of thought running all the day asking these questions, What made traffic police to do like that? Was it really a mistake from my side for his reaction?
Couldn't come to conclusion.

Hello world!
Hello World!!
It has been many days, since we had a talk!
How are u? How are the things going?
Ha! what a question!!! [laughing]
I know how you will be and what things you will be doing. I know each and every thing about you. In fact I even know what you will be doing in the future!
You have been manipulated from the day one of your life. From the day one fear has been induced in your mind. You have been taught of about various forms of fears. your true potential, your inner urge has been suppressed by this fear. In course of time you have forgot about this. you are entangled in such a way that you don't even have time to think for yourself. Throughout your life time you have been asked to do things. Either you have been given a reason or you have given the reason for all these things. I pity you that you don't know the ultimate reason! you didn't even tried to know that!
You have been shown with the false goals like luxurious things for your so called measure of success. You burn out your effort in accomplishing that goals which are not your's. The reason it became goal to you was just some one has shown the way or what you have seen as other's parameter for success.
No matter what will be, unless you realize, it will be same as it was.
