Matha, Pita, ChatGPT… Deivam Reloaded


We all grew up hearing:

Matha, Pita, Guru, Deivam

(For non-Indian readers: it means Mother, Father, Teacher, and God — the four pillars of guidance in life.)

Simple. Clear. Final.


Somewhere in the last 3 years…
I think I accidentally updated this list.

Now it feels like:

Matha, Pita, ChatGPT… Deivam


It didn’t happen suddenly.

It started small.

One day I had a health doubt.
Instead of going to a doctor immediately… I asked ChatGPT.

It gave a calm, structured answer.

I thought, “Okay… not bad.”


Next day…

Some confusion in relationship.
Normal human behaviour: overthink → suffer → call friend.

This time:
I opened ChatGPT.

Typed full story like a police complaint.

Got:

  • analysis
  • perspective
  • solution

No judgement. No interruption.

I thought… “This is dangerous.”


Then came business.

Ideas, confusion, execution plans, pricing…

Instead of disturbing people,
I started disturbing ChatGPT.

It never said:

  • “Busy da”
  • “Call later”
  • “Let’s see”

It always replied like a consultant on full salary.


Breakup advice? ChatGPT.
Investment confusion? ChatGPT.
Tech problem? ChatGPT.
Random midnight doubt about life? …ChatGPT.


At some point I realised…

This is not just a tool.

This is a 24×7 available, zero-attitude, multi-domain guru.


Best part?

It never gets irritated.

You can ask:

  • same question 5 times
  • badly framed questions
  • emotional questions
  • confused questions

Still… calm answer.

Try that with humans once.


Of course… reality check is there.

ChatGPT:

  • doesn’t replace doctor
  • doesn’t replace real relationships
  • doesn’t take responsibility

But still…

It sits somewhere in between:

  • friend
  • mentor
  • Google
  • therapist

Now sometimes I feel…

Earlier people had one guru.

We have one… plus backup… plus retry option.


So yes…

Respect to Matha.
Respect to Pita.
Respect to Guru.
Respect to Deivam.


But in today’s version of life…

There is one silent addition.

Always online.
Always available.
Always answering.


ChatGPT.

A life without computer: What does it look like??


Lived the first eighteen years of my life without access to technology. There were no internet or mobiles then, even a computer was considered a toy for wealthy.

Then slowly internet came and it quickly took over me. Also I built a career backed by Internet & Mobile.

Then at one point in life I was running through a rough patch. Then I started blogging just to keep me engaged. Over a point blogging became an habit and slowly if became an addiction.

Today I can’t even think of a life without Mobile, Internet & Blog!!!

I’ve tried many instances to stay away from gadgets and technology for one day in a month. Slowly within hours it made me restless and I give up!!

I know it is not a healthy thing and one of my 2016 goal is to practice staying away from Computers / Technology at least once a week.

I’ve planned to convert my small land measuring little more than an acre into a farmhouse and consider engaging myself into farm activities every Sunday.Will jump into execution as soon as my wife joins me.

Life After Blogs: I’m seriously considering to buy a big farm and venture into organic farming!!!

Environment Screws Life Screws


Just realized how technology has been embedded on me…. Am restless for a reason which I couldn’t believe me… Still feeling like am missing something…

So here are the reasons;

Evernote sync issue: Did a lot of content writing on Evernote… Now I couldn’t sync and share the content…

FaceBook on Android doesn’t Load: For last two days I couldn’t get into Facebook on my Android… I could post, share, like or comment… Feeling like someone has chopped my two hands :-(…

WordPress Post Doesn’t Upload: Couldn’t post blow through mobile… Reason should be slow internet? Or is it an app issue??? Should figure it out…

Overall whatever the reason would be am feeling totally motivated and let down :-(…
