Meeting rooms are always a source of new ideas for me. I get to hear people talking about work, about personal life about so many different things. It gives you a perspective. Plus, unlike standing in a public place eavesdropping on other people, in meeting rooms, you belong. At least physically.
I overheard my colleague talking to someone by the name Dharmic, and she went like - "Dharmic, we will investigate...." I only heard the first 2 words, but it seemed as if she is talking about some Dharmic investigation. Quite an unlikely combination of words. I have never read or heard such words together.. Imagine overhearing phrases like, "Divine investigation", "Dharmic Investigation" etc. it sounds unnatural. You could hear "Devine intervention", but never "Investigation".
However, "Dharmic investigaiton or "Devine investigation" could simply mean investigating the devine forces or the dharmic karma. someone who is on the quest for divine leanrings but has a flair for adventure and ends up investigating instead of pursuing the answers of the universe. I think once I am old and more learned and probably seeking spiritual answers, I would simply say, I am chasing answers or investigating answers of the universe. It gives me the opportunity to be quirky and a bit .... 'different'
In the same meeting, people were discussing about finding answers to excel related errors.. and the most common way people end up finding these answers is through Google search. entering different combinations of text in the search engine, till they get their answer. one cant help but think that, if God doesn't answer your questions, font lose hope, at least Google can answer your queries.
One of my friends from college had once put a message on facebook, "Completing MBA is a matter of using the right combination of key words in Google search" (or something similar to that)..
At the end of the day, I cannot ignore the fact that Google is now an integral part of our lives. I cant imagine a life without cell phones or google. I can still imagine a life on another planet.
