What are you exposed to

You are born in India.
You watch serials,movies and listen to songs.
There is growing unrest amongst the youth, what they want to achieve, what they study, what they know and what they can do, how much they want to earn and what they will do with the money.

You are Indian but there are lot of moments when you loathe Indian people. You want to be like the Shahrukh in Swades, the Aamir in Rang De Basanti. You hate corruption, you hate poverty, you hate brain drain and you want to control population explosion.

Our need, our role and action plan is always distorted. I know that we have scarcity of water. But we may not know who needs it the most, who is wasting it, who cares for it like you or more than you and what you can do about it. The only thing you may know about your wish is that 'You know the world will experience growing water scarcity over the years and SOMETHING is got to be done.' The intention is noble, but unless someone capitalises on it, it is as futile as the news articles for the guy who sells groundnuts wrapped in the same paper.

Mail to fate and its reply

You:
Why is it, that I am the person who has to suffer,
I have to get all the stale fruits and the withered flowers.

Why is it, that all the troubles and difficulties are generous to me,
The day I go out of campus, there is rain or the blaring sun to invite,
The moment I wish to sleep somebody has to call and discuss Maxwell's 3rd law.
The week I decide to take a vacation;
there is an international conference hosted by my guide.

There are moments when I am alone,when I am afraid or weary of work,

Are you cross with me dearest fairy of Fate, do you humor yourself with my state?

Fate fairy:
My child, dont keep whining and blaming your fate,
Your problems are heard, empathized but not the gravest of all.

There is fun in everything, as you may know that the darkness defines light in its absence as so does pain glorify pleasure.

I am closely linked to your Wish Fairy and assist her as follows:

You ask for courage, I give you moments where you have to tackle with danger,
You ask for true love, I give you moments of solitude to contemplate and re-invent your life.

You deal with adversities, you deal with pain,
for others your experience is what counts as your capability unexplained.

The old story of planting the invisible sapling

The government had assigned a job to three people to plant saplings in some area. A guy had to dig a hold, the other had to place the sapling and the third guy had to put water and fill up the hole.

The guy who was placing the sapling in the hole was absent one day.But the guy who digs and the guy who fills the hole were present. They just came to the site, dug the place and were closing the holes repeatedly.

Typical mentality of getting the work done without knowing why we do it.

techno comment

For years radio had been operated by means of pressing buttons and turning dials;then as the technology became more sophisticated the controls were made touch-sensitive-you merely had to brush the panels with your fingers;now all you had to do was wave your hand in the general direction of the components and hope.it saved a lot of muscular expenditure,of course,but meant that you had to sit infuriatingly still if you wanted to keep listening to the same program. - Douglas Adams ,hitchhikers guide to the galaxy
