#twitter I love you!

One night I was reading The Hungry Tide by Amitav Ghosh. I was enjoying the book so much that I tweeted about it. And I was elated to find a reply from the author. I just loved the sponteinity and the reach of Twitter. No other social media in my view helps in connecting with opinions and brainwaves of your favourite icons better than Twitter. It really pains me to see Twitter struggling. Because I really love Twitter.

Why is Twitter struggling? I guess it needs to explore different revenue streams and not just depend on advertising. Also I'm aghast that it is finding it difficult to find a suitable buyer!

Twitter, according to me, has taken the concept of 'breaking news' to a different level. If there is an earthquake I look at Twitter for updates as withing few seconds there are details available. The large media and publications have a huge opportunity in Twitter. It's the most instant way to reach the whole world.

Most celebrities are active on twitter. Any gossip magazine or big entertainment labels should jump at the opportunity of owning twitter. There are so many billionaires in this world who should be interested.

Bodies like UN, WHO should be running their campaigns on Twitter. Governments and political parties and launch services and promote their ideologies n twitter.

Companies like Amazon could integrate twitter in their marketing and e-commerce in a big way. I would love to order goods and services over a tweet in the future.

The opportunities are endless. I feel twitter is one of the greatest inventions that has taught mankind to speak their hearts and communicate their ideas in 140 characters. Twitter has a great tool they just need to find a niche and market themselves right. And not just try to blend in with the herd like any other social media platform...

Come-on Twitter you can do it....

Humanity is lost!

We lost ourselves when our quest was overtaken by greed. First, we wanted to learn - the earth, the oceans, the skies and then we wanted to own them. We invented toys of mass pleasure and mass pain. We got religion and creed. And we got lost in all these. We stopped being the wanderers who wanted to cherish nature. Enjoy it's gifts.  We started challenging the almighty the creator. We lost. We are dying as a race. Dying with the burden of civilization that offers only stress and agony of loans. Sitting in one position we are destroying our body the greatest gift of nature. We don't deserve to be called the smartest of all species. We are the most idiotic of all. We are dumb. AI is taking over. We will be lost in machines soon. They are our future. We cease to be us soon. God bless us!

Oblivious to oblivion

We humans are getting more and more engrossed in things that don't matter and replacing it with things that do matter. We keep track of every new I phone model but we have lost track of the losing greenbelt and nature. We are killing everything that is keeping us alive. But we are happy to live now selling our tomorrow's.  It's a sad state of affairs. We are looking externally for things which are within us. And things which are external and unnecessary we are taking it internally - like peer pressure and loud lifestyles. Where is the sense? Where is the moral compass that controls our actions? Wake up humanity...before we are erased from this planet. We need the planet the planet doesn't need us. Let's not forget that, ever.

Nature calling!

There is a tiny little compass within us, our conscience, the keeps giving us signals. There are times when it keeps warning us of the dangers of the city life we are living. It gives us hint of being at home when we are in the middle of nature. We are all like tiny parts of the nature we are so foolishly moving away from. And that's why we feel so much at home when we go to these places. We are parts of them - the air, the water, the soil, the fire that makes us us. Not the iphones and fancy toys we are so attached to these days. Let's make it a point to live closer to nature. To breathe pure air. To drink water unadulterated by modernism. To think thoughts that are pure and in tandem with the cosmos. There is a monk within us. Why do we hide him? Why do we not listen to him? We must. Before it's too late!
