The incredible power of humans

Machines are coming. Machines are taking over. But I'm still optimistic. I'm still confident of the immense potential that each one of us have. We the humans have created everything that we are going through at this point in time. Nature is just the backdrop, like a side role in a Bollywood flick. 

True, every raw material comes from nature. But transforming the raw materials into something so different and powerful that one wonders if there is any resemblance between the raw material and the finished product, is the skill of human kind. It's the ultimate culmination of art, science, imagination, observation, perseverance, grit, vision and desire that has transformed our world into what it is today. We have come a long way, from the dark caves to the limelight of the socialite parties, from the era of helplessness to the era of attempting to be God. 

Wait a minute! Are we trying to be God? Are we trying to create us? Yes but then again may be that is what God wants us to do with our lives - create another us so he can be saved the trouble. He can see things and create through us - like a huge microscope that shows you things you thought never existed.

But, where are we heading? The kind of power we have today, we can eradicate hunger from this Earth forever. We can create permanent hallucination for everyone so there is no pain no loss no negativity. We all can live in an illiutionary world where everything is real. By the way, what is reality, if not ilusion sensed through our five senses?

But we are misusing our powers. We are not creating a better world than before but we are creating a world where there is more pain and more suffering.

When I see the amount of fighting and the unrest I see around, I sometimes feel I think it's time for humanity to pass on it's power to the machines. May be then we can stop fighting for power when there is no power to be fought over. May be we will stop fighting for land when there is no land left for mankind to fight over.

May be then we will unite again. All regions and regions, to fight a common monster, a devil who threatens to terminate us all.

I think it may help humanity live a little longer. May be a few more millennia till we again find ways to self destruct ourselves. 

Let's be human again. Let's work with our hands and legs on the fields. Let's eat organic. Let's live more and worry less. let's live today rather than dying for a tomorrow we are not sure about.

Let's be born human again.

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!

Love is all around me!

I remember this peppy song from my childhood with these lyrics love is all around me, everywhere I go...I have forgotten the singer, the lyrics and everything about this song. But these few lines have stayed with me all these years.  Truly, if we look around, there is so much to love and be grateful for....from the view of the rising sun from my balcony, to the books I read, to the food I eat and the energy I feel within. It's beautiful. The whole universe is within us and there is so much to be happy about....only if we truly open our eyes and see. Life is so tiny. Today we are alive but tomorrow we may not be. So why not inhale all the beauty around so that when we close our eyes in the night, we feel the divine bliss within and cherish it, without a regret in the world. It's a beautiful life, I feel pity for thr people who waste it hating ! May God bless their souls and may they too learn to see the beauty all around, so that this earth can truly become a beautiful place to ...

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...
