Is mankind the cancer for the universe?

On Hindu mythology, we believe that there is Brahma the creator, Vishu the sustainer and Shiva the destroyer. Man has been around for more than a million years, however it is only the last 10000 years, where we have really moved ahead of every other species. We have grown and multiplied from 4 billion to 8 billion in less than a 100 years.

So are we entering the era where the world will be coming to an end? Are we growing uncontrolled like the cancer cells destroying everything else around us?

Are we the ones who are killing ourselves for a new earth to be born? We are in the Kaliyuga as per Hindu mythology. Which is the beginning of the end for the world. Have we reached the end? So that all the development culminates in the end of the world as we know it? And the beginning of a new world? Are we the last of our race to step into the unknown by becoming robots or the terminators as James Cameron portrayed in his movie? Are we headed out to the space to be lost there forever?

So many questions but no answers. I guess only time will tell where we are headed. Till then, let us pray so that God is kind to us and guides us on His divine designs. Amen!

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...
