What Really real is not real..

I was thinking this phrase " what really real is not real" which my school teacher says too often.The following are some words which I come across every now and then but every time in a different context without implying the really real meaning....

And today in pain I should not be asking GOD ‘Why me?’ "

Yesterday( 03rd November), I want to experiment on how true is this , changed my Birthday on my profile !! on all social networking sites( Facebook,LinkedIn) and waited what's happening.....Nothing happened- except few great souls around me who really feel the day is significance because "I "was born ( heights of Ego!!) has wished me and others who generally shower their wishes have forgotten in their daily chores. The underlying fact behind this is... 1. Gadgets and technology on networking , no doubt, bring people together and may remind us all the important days like a Birthday of your friend or yours.But you are
