My phone seems to be doing the weirdest thing.
Every time I message Gautam, he gets the SMS twice. I tried to figure why and I can't seem to fine any logical reasons.
Now Gautam getting the message twice is not an issue but me getting charged twice is.
Sure you can say 'how much does an SMS cost', but at the end of the day it is money gone to waste.
No prizes for guessing who isn't getting any SMS's from me (unless of course it is past 10:00 PM and I need to send out some message urgently).
Anyway why this figures on my blog is that there is a lesson there too. Things happen in life that are totally illogical. They might be funny, they might be costly, they might be relevant, they might be forgettable but unexpected things HAPPEN.
The only thing you can do is look for a logical solution.

It is logical not to get logical answers to many things in life, for me that is life! There are things which might seem to be illogical/ undefined/ unknown. But do you really think it is illogical, just because we cant map those things and understand the flow? I would rather call 'illogical' as 'unknown', which are yet to be known/ learnt. Any comments ?
I get what you are saying and I agree in this case.
But there are illogical things for sure - or at least illogical people. You might talk about their POV but at the end of the day if something is not done 'correctly', when 'correctly' is defined, then there is something wrong there.
Do we need something 'correct' or 'wrong'. Imagine a situation where you and your friend were looking at the some thing. Your friend claims that something happened and since you didn’t see/notice the same, you would never be able to agree to your friend's view. Now, here who is right & who is wrong? We can never regenerate the situation and analyse. As we grow, we tend to keep those in the corner of our mind labelling, ‘unknown’ or ‘unwanted’ or ‘unacceptable’. May be unacceptable is illogical, at least to us. Am I making sense to you?
Sometimes illogical is just illogical - its not doing things in a logic (correct) manner. Maybe the correct is not really correct but if something is defined as being correct, you have to do certain things in certain ways, or get certain results.
Questioning the correct is a whole different issue and the way to do that is not by doing things in the 'wrong' way but by actually sitting with the person who made the demarcation and asking them for the logic of the same.
Well, I think we are getting more into abstract things. But I don’t want to resist myself from expressing my views. We might not do anything ‘wrong’ to question the correct. We might want to try differently than the routine model, since it would be natural of us to explore. Or may be we are labelled ‘wrong’, just because we didn’t follow the lane. Is it really a mistake to do things according to own wishes/ interests/ feelings? I would like to share an incident which happened very recently. Last week, I was discussing with my friend about wireless- electricity. He listened to me and told ‘you are trying to put forward something against the laws of physics’- (Totally illogical!). But later when I searched, I could find WiTricity. So I think, illogical is ‘relative’ and it might always be. Since it depends on the amount of information and the processed knowledge you carry. In short, the ‘correct’ (logical) manner is not something which can stand time. What you say?
But the logic might not matter..
