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.

2020: adios amigo!

The year 2020 was cruel to most of us, but it taught us many positive lessons. It made us appreciate and be grateful for all that we have, and realise what we really need in life to be happy. It was a lesson needed for the world to reboot and rethink of its priorities. It reminded us that we have been making the mistake of using people and loving things when it needs to be the other way round. It made us realise the importance of the people in our lives - even if they are the people who do mundane jobs in our households and whom we tend to take for granted. It also made us realise that our wealth can't protect us from the virus or a calamity, but our fellow humans can; the great work done by the medical fraternity, the workers who helped us stay alive during the lockdown, was truly commendable. No words can really describe how grateful the rest of us are for these courageous selfless servants of humanity. I hope we have learnt the lessons and learnt them well as a race, as life ten...

Hey gorgeous

I find you beautiful not because you are good looking I find you beautiful because your eyes share the same pain I see in my own I find you gorgeous because you wear the look of a fellow traveller longing for the train to arrive in the station soon I find you irresistable because I see the fountains of joy that soothes my heart in your eyes as you look at me I find you stunning because you are imperfect and scarred just like me Let's share this life Whatever little is left of it Let's laugh and cry together Let's celebrate the scars and toast the time together as finally we have the chance to be with each other Let's not give up now Let's not wait another lifetime to quench the thirst our souls feel for each other Comeon let's approach the future together Like a pack of wolves chasing a prey And let's feast on moments we conquer  for ourselves...

Corporate Social Responsibility lessons from The Mahabharata

We all have heard the story of Bhimsen and Bakasur in Mahabharata. We all know how Bhimsen, during the Agyatwas ( Incognito existence of a year) stayed in a town plagued by the demon Bakasur. And how, he used his power to slay the demon and freed the town from the atrocities inflicted by the demon Bakasur. How does it connect with CSR? Well, Bakasur symbolises the social and economic evils in the communities companies operate in. And Bhimsen symbolises the corporates who have resources to manage such challenges.  Therefore, CSR or Corporate Social Responsibility could be the method by which Companies can beat social evils faced by their communities, just as Bhimsen killed Bakasur and freed the community that sheltered him and his family when they needed it. What I see here is a symbiotic relationship. The communities have something to offer to the corporates and the corporates have something to offer to the communities. It is this mutual relationship that can help both the communit...
