My unified theory of so-called living and non-living

This might be a bit interesting for you. N yeah, this is not at all for you in case you beleive in souls. So, in case you dun beleive in souls, can you tell me whats the difference in a living and a non-living thing? I studied biology till 10th, and also in my first semester here in BITS, /* yeah, we engineering students do hav to study bio, one sem*/. So, dere i studied a few so-called requirements for a thing to be called as living. So, lemme try to remember them, dey ver, adaptation ( irritability/individual/population); growth and reproduction; metabolism; proper structure. yeah, i m missing mayb a couple of them rite now, but i had thot over all of dem. So, fine, i m creating a big big robot, wid huge arms, dat are continuosly digging the earth, at one place to extract petroleum, vich it vil purify and use as its fuel, or u can say food /* metabolism*/ ; another to dig out iron and other material, vich it vil use to create more machine of such kinds and to repair itself as well /* growth and reproduction*/ . N yeah, it has all kinda sensors, so dat it can sense all its surroundings /* adaptation*/ . Now i just want to find one of the criteria vich my mega bot is not fullfilling. N yeah, as far as thot process is concerned, i mean u say dat v living beings can think, i can explian u dat thing also. But dat later on, for the time being, lemme just compare my bot vid sum simple living form, say plants. N i think, dat my bot is a lot better dan plants. K, it is a lot bigger, but still better equiped vid sensors, driven by a better program dan dat stored in the plant's dna. I mean, now vats the difference in the two. How can one say that plant is living n bot is non-living.??? N in case u say dat my bot doesnt grow, so, i programmed it to make up his own parts, n also to repair dem. vel, one thing vich i was thinkin was how vel adaptation is done in d bot. As per d definition of adaptation, it is changing, permanently o emporarily, to fit to the surroundings. This my bot vil also do, for eg, control the speed fan on the processor according to the outside temp. Ok, now d thinkin part. Vat i 'think' bout dis is dat, first of all, i think dat v dont think. V just do actions accordin to sum pre-pogrammed algo or sumtin. Vel, i dun say dat it happens so, but it cud. Just like our involuntary muscles, vich work vidout our intervention, i sumtimes think dat all our actions r also involuntary, dey r just affected by the events happenin in the surroundins. N yeah, in case v consider dis to b true, dis wud certainly mean dat v can calculate our fture actions. it vil need a lotta computations, but it can b done. So, many a times i think dat ders no need to call a thing living or non-living. d difference i think is d level of complexity. Vel, for a long time, i dint found ne contradiction to this theory, but still, i think dat i m livin n dis comp on vich i m workin is not. Vel, actually, it wud b wrong to say dat i think, instead i feel, i feel dat i m livin n dis comp is not. I m livin, mayb i m not controlin my actions, i mean, mayb my actions r being controlled by all d events happenin around n pocessd by algo in my dna, but dere is sumthin dat makes me feel livin. yeah, not dat simple to explain. n i dunno y i m tryin to do so. But havnt u ever thot dat way??? mayb not excatly like dis, but in sum different way, sumthin must hav sumtim been in ur mind too. Vel, i m not able to convince myself bout dis theory, for vich i m not able to find ne contradiction, primarily coz i 'feel' dat i m living. Now, i m sorry, but i wont b able to describe my feeling vid d help of dis non-livin keyboard. In case neone frm bio field read dis, please lemme know d difference between living n non-living. vat i feel is dat so-called non-livin r d buildin block of livin things. n so-called livin hav a poper algo to work. but dat way i m nt able to find ne diffeence in a machine controlled by ne kinda controller n a plant ( just for simplicity sake, else i can compare my bot even vid u). u must b thinkin dat i m totally confused, vel, i m not much confused, its simple, i think dat i m non-livin, but i feel dat i m livin.

Home sweet home - the journey

So... finally... i am home... after battling the comprees out dere in the scroching pilabni heat... i am home. Came yesterday. But the journey was not so simple. Yeah, a non-preplanned journey is not always so good, but the twists in such journey are always welcome. After all the twists n turns, i was home tomorrow, n ... now for next two and a half months, al my posts, i'll type on my very own keyboard.
