MAN V/S MACHINE


All of the biggest technological inventions created by man - the airplane, the automobile, and the computer - says little about his intelligence, but speaks volumes about his laziness – said by Mark Kennedy. There are still long term debates running hot on this aspect of creation (man) vs. super creation (100 x man). Some say in favor of man some say creation of machines was the biggest mistake one could ever imagine and it is a bane for mother earth. It has become appallingly obvious that our technology has exceeded our humanity--- by our very own Albert Einstein. It is still believed that one machine can do the work of 100 ordinary men. But no machine can replace one extraordinary man. In this never ending battle of man vs. machine, no matter who wins, either man will reach stone-age if machines lose, or nature will succumb to the fury of machines as the present day. The answer remains incomplete and unexplained.  I strongly believe machines are the greatest creation of man. Every food we make, air we breathe, transport we use, water we purify, are mechanized. From toothbrush to computer, everything around us is a machine. We are living in the mechanized era where life is non-existent without the power of machines. Only regrets that the slaves man created to make his work easier are now the predominant masters of this universe.

VIRTUAL MEEEEEEE

Once upon a time I had emotions…… I cared for people and loved them. Wanted them to improve their mistakes and be good at heart.  I was the real me….. I am good to people who are good to me…….tough with the tough…… “Aap bhale to jag bhala” as we say in Hindi is somewhat a better version. I am the latter one now. Just like the morning sunshine that brightens up everyone’s life. I am good with the good, better with the worse. Somehow I have now learnt to wear that plastic smile on my face, the thing I should have done in the early years of my life, I would have had much more than what I possess today. A world of friends, ready to be with me.  People hovering around me as if I am their only ray of light. When A says B is bad, I agree. When B says he is good, I agree. It doesn’t really matter if both are good or bad. I know that I have turned bad. The world did not like me the way I was…. sweet, sober, innocent, speaking the truth and to the po...

FAR FROM THE MADDING CROWD.............

A moment of tranquility…….. As soon as I typed the heading it took me to a world that is extraordinarily ecstatic.  There’s no satisfaction greater than the feeling of satisfaction itself.  A world that belongs to you and where everything happens just the way you had anticipated. On interviewing a lukewarm (in terms of money) guy once about what he hates the most…believe it or not…. he said HUMANS. As if they were the ultimate foes of his desires, wisdom, capabilities, decisions and what not. Well the list has no last word.  Tell me when did it happen that you got drunk and spoke up to your mom without getting scolded? When was the time you could comfortably get your girlfriend at your place and share some quality time with her? (Yeh India hai meri jaan)……when did it happen that your family approved you of doing a low salary job though you said you were happy? Even at work, people gave the “I can do much better than this…….u don’t deserve it” look when you were apprec...

The Space Time Singularity

My last blog was in 2016, the year of the Horse. It took about 18 months to come back to ground zero. Since then, my overwhelmed friends wanted me to share a story, the remnants of the neurological construct and experiences from recent past. Somehow, time waved at me like a through train and we are already midway this year. I was excited about posting this since long but nothing triggered my pen until today. Today is an important day. A day of new beginnings, a day to cherish for the rest of my life, a day that will manifest itself in different ways through space and time. We all wish we could go into the future, have a peek at our lives, then come back and alter our actions. What we don't foresee is that by deviating from our natural instincts and altering our actions in the present, we could create an alternate future. Only time unravels the uncertainties of the future.  Time, as we see comes with its own sweet surprises. We wake up everyday with 24 hours at hand. We get opp...
