It's me or my mind ?

For the first time in my life I was admitted to the hospital few days back. I was restricted to bed cause of some rules for few hours. People who helped me in reaching over there left. When hospital staff asked me about contact numbers of my friends I was simply staring at them with silence.

Those few seconds of 'silence' terrified me. Why? Why was I silent?  Mind was flooding with names but but but ......

To my surprise around 7 of my classmates entered. For the next few days I became really tired in giving reply to questions from 'many' . Donno how they got information !

At last understood one thing that I should make friends and become social as well. Its not me who really was(is) alone but my state of 'mind'.

facts ? ? ?

Leave the third hand and second hand information.
Does the first hand information is correct?  what all we see are facts?

Human eye - Limited to visible spectrum ( typically 390 to 700 nm wavelengths )*
human ear - only can hear 20 Hz to 20 kHz
and other senses are too limited.

So, what ever we see , listen and feel are not what they exactly are. sometimes I wonder may be that's why we are gifted with analyzing skills from our past generations to perceive facts.

10 asha wrappers - Scented Bugs Bunny Eraser
20 asha wrappers - Rubber ball
30 .... no no no could not control beyond that.

wept like hell in front of mom for grabbing  goodies. At last found a shop in entire town who were actually holding the rewards.  We went, collected and sadly lost that ball in drainage canal right after 48hrs :'(

While going through 'quora' feed found this thread and  lost my self in a deep deep reverie.
