  • The Answer lies

    In the soft breeze that blows across your face and makes you feel alive
    and the hurricane that sweeps across the face of the earth and makes you pray for life
    the innocent toothless grin of a toddler about to embark on his life’s journey
    and the toothless grin of an 80 year old who has seen everything on his life’s journey
    the starlit sky that makes you humble and contemplative of life
    and the stars that can predict everything that happens in your life
    the minds of those who left their progenitors to live their own life
    and in the minds of those whose are left by their progeny to live their own life
    the white blood cells whose cancerous growth threatens life
    and the defficiency of white blood cells in the immune system that threatens life
    the fire whose invention changed the destiny of humanity
    and the fire in you that could change humanity
    the money that can be used to better millions of lives
    and all the money that cant save even one life
    the minds of those who ask questions but cant wait for the answer
    and the minds of those who are unquestoning and accept the answers

    until next time, yes, my friends, it is blowin in the wind

  • Its all about money, honey?

    That was borrowed from the tagline of indiainfoline.com, i dont see it much these days, wonder if they still use it…but that also is what i am going to write on today…i am reading ‘india unbound’ by gurcharan das(see my medialist), almost finished it…and i am able to relate yesterday’s post to some of the stuff in the book…so, will continue on the path….but i believe, i will be backtracking by the time i finish the entire series..today’s generation, as compared to the ones earlier, gets a lot of money related happiness, mostly because of rising consumerism, which has almost enveloped the more developed countries and is rapidly aadvancing in india…we like to have things literally at our fingertips, and the mouse is a powerful tool.. we order books, gifts and many other things under the sun online, it definitely is convenient….the mobile is also a powerful tool, most of the restaurants here, have introduced home delivery, again the fingertips can get the job done….result of all this is a decrease in the kind of social interaction we grew up with…and whether it is online purchases or home delivery, there is definitely an extra price we pay for it……the BPOs (call centers, in regular parlance) that are spreading like a virus, not necessarily with the same dire consequences, hehe, they are either making calls or receiving calls,giving customers from far flung corners of the globe, info about a variety of products and services….so we have convenience, better economies coz these call center employees make good money, so more disposable income….but are we losing ourselves in the turn of the merry go round, why do we have waves of nostalgia? why do we turn to our blogs as outlets? a query, can our generation produce a bhagat singh or an aung san suu kyi, who would endure purely for what they believe in …..we have, but in a different mould, more on that tomorrow…. leaving you with
