A new age is upon us. In the past, people were taken by the first black and white tvs As televisions became popular, the marvel of the achievement was enough to distract from any lacking in image quality.Then most people rejected their old sets once color TVs came onto the market. An finally, in line with the introduction of other technologies, HDTV has ushered in another new age. Gone are the days when you could be happy with washed-out colors and a low resolution. Now you want a clearer picture and sharper colors, and you want it all for an affordable price.

HDTV is the TV to aspire for.Dont get suckered into keeping your old standard TV. The quality of the image with HDTV is instantly noticed and appreciated. Picture it this way, watching a standard TV is like viewing the world through a dirty windowpane. With HDTV, there is no window. The images on the television screen are as close to lifelike as you can get, that is, without actually getting off the couch and watching real-life images. An HDTV can accomplish this feat with its high resolution; a million pixels, often more, combine to create a brilliant picture that will wow any viewer.

But technology always comes at a price. Fortunately, prices are falling every year. Five years ago, most people were priced out of the HDTV market.

But things are not always as straight forward as they seem. A new HDTV is the whole equation.First, you will need a high-definition cable or satellite box. This sends the HD channels to your television; without one, you can only watch standard programming. Second, you will need high-def channels. Your cable or satellite provider offers a line-up of HD channels, though the number of available HD channels is nowhere close the number of available standard channels. Third, you will need an HD show or movie. Not all shows broadcast on an HD station are necessarily high-definition; news programs are often broadcast in standard-definition, as are most daytime programs. If you are watching a standard-def show, you may see a black bar on either side of the screen. Also, since you are watching a standard-def show on a high-def screen, the picture will not be nearly as clear or as sharp as with an HD program. Only when you have all three elements - an HD box, channel and show - can you experience television like never before.

Every day is the same day. Days differ only in few ways- weather
conditions, sunrise and sunset time. Otherwise all the days are
same. The sun rises in the east and sets in the west. This has
been going on since billions of years and will continue, till
the cosmos collapses. Then why do we treat a day different than
other? The difference is not in the day, but in our moods,
wishes, outlook, frustration, meetings and non meeting
achievements, failures etc. If what makes us feel good occurs on
a day, we call it a great day. Otherwise, it can be called as a
boring day, or a useless day or whatever.

So, why do we love our birthday? Why do we celebrate it? Why do
we feel good about it? I mean most of us. For some people
including myself, a birthday may be no different than any other
day. So let us talk of people who celebrate their birthday. They
do it because they were born on that day. Am I correct? But is
their birth a cause of celebration? What have they achieved to
celebrate? Billions of people inhabit the earth, so what is so
great about a single person?

Coming back to the subject,these are philosophical enquiries
that make us understand ourselves, and our relationship with the
world better. I would say that if you are a loving person, you
are a great person. No matter whether you are neither rich nor
famous. I would say that if you can help a person forget his/her
pain for sometime, you are a great person. I would say, if you
give some money without hesitation for a cause, you are a good
person. If you cheer up someone, you are a good person. If you
can help the planet become better even with a smallest act, you
are a great person, and your birthday should be celebrated.

Our birthdays should make us think more of ourselves, our
actions, our values, our integrity, our gentleness, our
compassion, our goals, our desires, our helping hand, our
willingness to wipe away tears and every other act or thought
that can make us a better person. We must celebrate our birthday
if we wish, but along with day, we must add one more positive
quality to ourselves. That will give us greater happiness than
any other celebration. One feels worthy and good, only if one is
really so. We can fool people in to believing that we are good,
but we cannot fool ourselves. For getting happiness in our
heart, we must ourselves feel that we are good. Let us decide to
add one good quality to us on our birthday and let us celebrate
it. Better, let us decide to do one good act everyday. No
happiness will match that happiness, because happiness cannot be
bought or borrowed. We feel happy and good about ourselves, only
if we have self-esteem that comes only from doing good acts.
