Broken

I feel like the kite that was flying high in the sky
And suddenly the thread broke somewhere somehow
And the drifting and dancing with the cool breeze started
And then slowly the gravity took over dragging down and down and down

The children of the area were too busy to run after me
Probably attending some class for their future
The onlookers didn't give me a second look

Now I'm stuck on a branch of tree
High up from the battles but not high enough for the breeze to push me again and again

I am tied to the tree
It talks to me about being grounded
About the greatness in being rooted
I don't understand it
Because I have only flown all my life
Never been tied to a tree

I have only longed for the blue sky all my life
Have only heard cheering when I flew high
Now the rain gets me wet and soggy
And the sun makes me brittle

I wish the tree knew the joy of flying
Wish I could convince it the beauty seen from high up in the sky
The feeling of racing the birds high up there
The feeling of defying the fear of falling

Will i ever fly again?
Or will I go down with the tree when a colony comes up in its place?
The answers are not with me buddy
Though I wish I had them on my face

Can the exhibition industry go virtual?

Exhibitions and stalls are an integral part of direct marketing in almost every industry. But can these exhibitions go virtual? The stalls could be virtually created and virtual meetings fixed from the comfort of one's own location. Imagine the amount of time that can be saved in travelling, planning logistics, managing hotel reservations etc. And ofcourse the cost. Imagine if virtual reality was able to give you the same feel as you get when you are inside an exhibition! You look around and be part of the traffic just as you are in real world.... Imagine animation, 3D and other graphics can add life to your stall. Just like an animation film, if  you are able to create a virtual reality.... If today you are able to attend eight meetings a day, may be you could attend twelve then as you will save the time of commuting physically from one room to another. Can it happen in the near future? I feel it can! Would love to know your views. ---------------- The views expressed are m...

The power of hope

In my view, the gift of hope is the greatest gift mankind has with it. Every achievement no matter how small starts with this ability of ours - hope. And from hope arises the second gift we have - trust It's a combination of hope and trust that actually runs this world. When we get into a plane and are flying in the air with no safety net whatsoever, hope that we will be safe and the trust that a few of our species namely the engineers and pilots and even the person filling the fuel in the aircraft have done their best. We trust their ability to take care of us. The pilots do the same with pharmacists who design pills that we eat without thinking if we will be alive. Because we hope that we will get well and we trust our fellow humans. Name a profession, and we are bound by an unseen contract of hope and trust with humanity. The army, the farmers, the barbers, the bakers, the teachers, the nurses....the list is endless but yet the hope and trust is what we really buy in return for ...
