Time of death: "8:00:00:00 am - 80 ms"

I have always been fascinated by the 80 millisecond rule. It just engrosses one's mind that I am already happy before I know I am happy.
For those who are new to this concept, the 80 millisecond rule states that you always experience what happened 80 milliseconds in the past.
Your body (brain, if we pinpoint) basically is slow to experience things as soon as it happens. Well, if we didn't live by years, it would be like a time travel every moment for us.
So, I was thinking, if that is the case, we practically die and hover around for a long time. At least when you consider it in mayfly times. ;)
That 80 millisecond lag means that you are dead 80 ms BEFORE you realize (or others know) you are dead.
And ya, I have a feeling that some of the 'intuitions' and 'deja-vu s' are just us traveling  slower (80 ms slower) in time and then catching up with the real time differential we are used to, than a coincidence or miracle, if one may say so.

Mookkile Pallu.. :D

Actually, this is a post which needs an amount of humor sense and understanding of Malayalam. If you dont have either, please feel free to browse other posts, or leave for better work. :) And yes, the saying in malayalam "Mookkil Pallu Mulakkya" [Literal Translation- "Tooth growing in Nose" heheh!!! It just means, 'getting old before something that is usually done, is not done.' (Any better interpretations are welcome.:) ) ] So, for the ones who are carrying on, I hope you do really have a bit of common sense. :) Cos, otherwise, the post wont make sense to you.. :) Now, this was a chat, I had with a chat-friend of mine, one month or so before..While I was browsing thru my old chats, I found this piece and felt the analogy beautiful.. :) Sharing it with you... It was kinda 9 o' clock I guess.. An excerpt. Changed from our chat lingo, a bit, for better understanding. " Him : So you had a bonanza this time.Onam n bday. me : :) yeah.. but it was no bi...

I dont see much of selfless love around in the world. A mother's love is said to be the best form of love for humans. Even that is cos, the baby is hers. It is her own self or a part of her she loves.. :) The fact that an adopted child is not loved as much by a mother proves my point.

[Very]Miss Creant.

Disclaimer : Any similarity to the living or dead, is purely coincidental. This story, is fictitious and has nothing to do with anyone's life. DN. So, here it goes. I am dying. Yeah, death on a wheel chair. Ever heard of that? Slowly wasting this beautiful body. And all the 'assets' men looked at and paid for. Why? You may ask. And sneer. Why did I choose this life? Did I ? Honestly, did I have a choice? What with, love for him on one side and complete trust. And unseen future on the other side? I was robbed of my innocence, my purity and love, all in a single night. All by the same person I adored and loved. No no. This aint any melodrama. This is life. My bloody life! He had me that day. And then, the next thing I knew, I was dragged from my wedding bed to his friends. You know crying never helps. I cried out loud. They did everything they felt like and he abandoned me. Serves me right. Leaving my parents for the 'love' he gave me. For all those sweet nothings. F...
