Hail The Indians

Well I am just back from a game of Rise of Nations, and playing as the Indians, have covered the entire world but Japan. And with a move left Japan is about to face an impending invasion from the greatest ever conqueror the world has seen. Games are so cool; they give you the power to realise your dreams and your weirdest imaginations. And they often force you to intrigue yourself with a weird question. Are we the ones who play games or just pawns in a huge game someone "UP THERE" is playing? As vague as the question may sound, it has its own complicacies because if we are indeed pawns in a game, then we have two ways out - complete our objective else face a valiant elimination. Sounds familiar? Am I telling your life's story? Maybe; for, all the things in the world are interlinked and what we see maynot be what they are. There is something mysterious about our existence because we exist as if we don’t exist. Too complex for you to understand? Well everyone isn't entitled to learn the secret of this world and those who learn it are no more part of it. It’s a difficult decision to make - to be part of this virtual world or to know the real world. After all its a matter of which pill you choose that changes your life. And the conclusion is that if I had been you, I would easily conclude that the writer of this piece had just seen ANIMATRIX yesterday and got so much caught in it's enchanting web that he is still to come out of its hold.
