Need to know basis’, a usage as old as one can remember. In this modern era of Eves-dropping techniques, bugs and spying cameras, small or smaller than a pinhead. Oh, for those uninitiated into the world of ‘office stationery’, no don’t try to ‘look up’ this word in your ‘Words’, you probably won’t find it. A Pinhead is the rounded head of a pin about 30 mms, the other side having a pointed sharp end that the airport securities will confiscate if you carry it on your person, used to staple together loose sheets of paper, well mostly. Oh, you may see some guy using it to clean up his dental plaque. Yeah yeah, that pin, exactly. Your 2 gigabyte ‘memory’ hasn’t slowed down yet.
And the realtime transmission of the ‘data’ thus eves-dropped, images, read pictures, and voice recordings etc. at the speed of light, the internet became the tool. One doesn’t require that ‘scan, copy, print & fax’ thingy one used to have at the office. Gone are the days the spooks had to set up their own mini dishes and upload data through gadgets the ‘special effect’ guys conjured up.
If ever there was a ‘big brother’, it is now. Nowadays all one needs is an ordinary 3G hand phone (mobile, cell phone) that do almost everything that once needed a hall full of electronic gadgets with a dozen operators.
No secret is a secret any more. Every so called ‘Secret’ whether coded, scrambled, encrypted or just converted into some ‘electronic jumble’ are just some digitalized binary mish-mash that can be ‘decoded, ‘unscrambled’ ‘decrypted’, ‘unmished’ or ‘unmashed’ by some ten year whiz kid or ‘geek’ lovingly called ‘hacker’.
No, there are no secrets, nothing remains to be unraveled, hacked.
But high above, there’s this guy called ‘God’ who’s been laughing all the way since he created ‘Eve’. Eve, one can’t decode, unscramble, decrypt, unmish or unmash or hack into her brain, or her mind. The only ‘yet to be Unraveled Mystery’ of the Universe. Man hasn’t yet reached the end of the Universe, not yet. But he will, surely. But will man ever unravel ‘her’, naah, never… even her creator, God, has failed…
Man was the prototype of human beings God tried to make, in his own image... Then he saw all his faults (the mirror wasn't invented yet), found a few shortcomings... and then he perfected the human being... , a missing thing here, and an addition there, and lo and behold, came the perfected human being; Man version 2.0... and called it ‘Woman’. Not a bad creation, eh… 'perfected human being = woman'. But why he still persisted with Man 1.0, only God knows. He could have created a New man or Man-now or even a namoW, matching his perfected version... At the end, what God created and why, is still a mystery to him… and in this case, even God doesn’t know… Wonder why God took that break on the seventh day we call Sunday???
The Man 1.0 , God named it Adam (it, because language and grammar came much later), was lost the moment the Man 2.0, God named it Eve, set eyes on it. Lets not get lost between the two its and refer them as him and her. No man has ever remained untouched by her mystery. She won’t just come into your life. She spreads into you like the fog or mist in winter. Maybe that’s why she still remains a mystery...
The unraveling will continue...
The unraveling will continue...
