Dreams Wild :)


It was not so long ago when I saw my brother working on a desktop with 125Kbps internet with the CRT monitors. I was amazed of the technology. Reading, music and dreaming was my favorite activities to pass time. So I used to imagine a lot in music and styles of writing. With this effect of me seeing my brother working, I started exploring the technology. Used to debate with him when he was driving his car. I used to fight with him but he used imbibe technology in me. I always liked my dreams and like dreaming. All I knew was that a computer (with a CRT monitor and tower with the UPS power supply) is movable. The concept of internet is new to me that time. One of my dreams was that laptops which were considered costlier than diamonds then should become cheaper and accessible. People should be able to use that internet or to my understanding work that they do in office when they are moving for example in a bus.  The counter arguments that I used to get are that laptops will never become cheap and the internet works with a wire or a cable and the bus moves so it cannot be connected to internet. So I thought it was really not possible so I shifted my dream to Trains, where they are always connected to the tracks J it was a wild dream but the counter was that tracks cannot transfer data to get connected. I was back to my studies on literature and after my literature I eventually came back to my same brother joined my MBA got a laptop with the campus on Wi-Fi and had an internet dongle. If I had to connect to internet when I am travelling. I recently realized that it was my dream 10 years back which was challenged and in which I lost and it died. L In my post-graduation I was travelling to Chennai and sitting in the bus I was connected to my friend on Skype. Wow what technology can do to our lives. And I have a dream now it may be wild but I wanted to document it like as it is. Medical sciences and technology should be more collaborate and with its evolution 3D can be used is preserving the DNA with the microscopic 3D pictures. we do not need to preserve the DNA as itself and on the other hand technology should be able to reproduce cells based on the 3D pictures. So after a certain time of the human life time the worn out cells should be replaced with the healthy cells produced from the pictures that was taken from the person’s younger times. if there is a counter argument that the energy resources will die and life will be at stake by that time, I have a way out for that “what if we use all the solar energy that the sun provides” I cannot gather the date on it but if somebody can do it I guess is will be a boon for all the mankind to survive.  I dream of day when people will be more civilized and understand the broader meaning of life and use the technology and the resources.  Believe me, I guess the concept of life expectancy which is estimated to go down will go up and this would be heaven. I love my dreams J

 

Let it happen let it not happen. I like it to happen if not now at least a thousand years from now.

It happened, its happening and should it still be the same?


For a small town guy travelling to Bangalore for the first time, your first attention goes to the Roads and the heavy concrete structures called flyovers which connects you from Point A to point B in a more cozy way. It reminded me of somebody saying to build bridges not walls. I was unaware of the fact if the author was talking about human bridges or physical bridges or flyovers. And a thought of uptown and down town caught my attention. And in Democracy there would be a good reason for the uptown to have a pool of crystal water. It takes me to a distance place near my home town where kids skip their school once a week to reserve their place for collecting a can of liquid which they call water.

 We build bridges flyovers to make our transition smooth transition. Shouldn’t it be embarrassing that a thought of our brethren somewhere right now has been waiting for 3 days and 3 nights for drinking water which is far polluted and less than the water that we flush? What makes a difference? I fast every lent and I know the extremes of fast and feast. There are kids who wait for a feast once a week when mother comes back home after a week with food, not know what she dose to earn that food.

I’ve heard of an innovative concept which was appreciated and welcomed “packed food”. The idea is simple, I have 20 persons to serve the lunch, I order for 20 boxes filled with all the varieties in each box, the box once opened will have to be eaten, if not the remnants of the box goes to the trash. Trashing the box I discuss and curse the women who are indulged in flesh trade unaware of the fact that they do it to feed her kids back home.

One of my previous managers told me to unfold the tissue while using it. It was amazing that I could use a single tissue instead of three if I unfold it. It is not that thought of me being a saint in doing it, but it makes a difference. I have a sweet friend who taught me to trash the used paper coffee cup in a proper bin, the same friend also taught me how best we can utilize water. These seem to be little things. But they make a lot of impact on the ecological balance.

Some questions stand unanswered to me. Why did God allow the concept of uptown and the down town? Why is there a situation of abundance and sheer nothingness? Why do we not have balance?

God created man with freedom in abundance. I might be wrong in my perception but this freedom that was given to us is the reason for our destruction. I don’t want to be destroyed I don’t want my future generation to be destroyed. I can’t take when we don’t care of things that seems so simple but makes a lot of difference in a different perspective. Let us come out of our sealed box discussion on the out of box thinking and watch the world in its trueness.

True heaven is not some place after our death but among us within us in our small things that we daily.

A common platform, a balance, utilization of freedom, and most importantly realization of common small things we do daily matters a lot.

Im practicing…. Let’s not take it on liter note J

Let Freedom Ring


Freedom being assaulted and tortured. We ought to restore freedom to the man kind with no difference..  We can sacrifice anything but for freedom. I wish the day would not come where we ought to trade our freedom for survival.. What would we get inspired from? We need a managers or managers who call them leaders? We are in dearth need of a leaders. Rather a Messiah. Let us all be saviors of our dear freedom. Let freedom be protected from all corners of the world. Let  its reign be restored. Let our children have the beauty to choose. Let there be divine intervention that we stop defiling for vanity and seek the ultimate.  
I wish Martin Luther King speaks again…..

“Let freedom ring from the snow capped Rockies of Colorado.
Let freedom ring from the curvaceous slopes of California.
But not only that. Let freedom ring from Stone Mountain of Georgia.
Let freedom ring from Lookout Mountain of Tennessee.
Let freedom ring from every hill and molehill of Mississippi. From every mountainside, let freedom ring.
And when this happens, when we allow freedom to ring, when we let it ring from every village and every hamlet, from every state and every city, we will be able to speed up that day when all of God's children, black men and white men, Jews and Gentiles, Protestants and Catholics, will be able to join hands and sing in the words of the old Negro spiritual, "Free at last! free at last! thank God Almighty, we are free at last."
