Cruising with Life

Whenever someone mentions something related to Evolution ; or whether God created all Animals , Humans ;or whether it is all a play of evolutionary Process; I become very much engrossed. It is a topic in which I have a unique interest . At a personal level,I favour the Theory of Evolution . True , the theory that God created everything does has its valid points . It also has many people supporting it . Points that make the God's creation Theory (as such this is not the name of the Theory , but I call it like this ) : 1)Evolutionists say that Man evolved from Apes who in turm evolved from some Amphibian creatures ,who in tuirn were evolving from Reptiles or Fish and so on . yet ; who created the most basic Life Form ? It must have been God . 2)Who decided when Big Bang has to happen or why Earth only had to be habitable long enough ? True , Mars also has some signs of Life Supporting conditions , but no Life has been detected as such . 3)Why Man only...

When I was in my School during 80's and 90's ;I used to hear a lot about "Unity in Diversity" , "Patriotism" etc . In schools, we were taught that Nation is above all - Caste,Religion, Region etc . The real life is a lot different . I agree that one should not be jingoistic and have too "Ideal" Patriotic feelings . Yet ; I see that people are bent upon playing down one another and hate so much If they interact with people of other Religion,caste , Region etc . There should be a better tolerance of each other . After all , we are all Humans and also we are Indians . Jai Hind !

Well; I am back on Blogger . I had to be off for some time because of my Mother's untimely demise in late May . Afterwards,there have been added responsibilities for me in my Family as well as other complexities in life . All these kept me off . Also,I have been on a Critical Project in my Job and was involved quite heavily in that . There are a few days of reduced activity and this gets me back to Blogging . More in my next Blog .

Today ; I was thinking of planning something . The thought came to my mind : Should I plan it for a very Long time : 5 or 10 Years + ? Or should I think it only in terms of this year and next . All of us who believe in planning face this question now and then . So I would get a bit into Pros and Cons of both options : Long term Option Pros : 1) Helps us in taking Tough decisions that influence our overall spending Habits , Personality Traits . 2)Helps us plan better for Rainy days and keeping a buffer stock of Finances as well as Resources. Cons : 1)Long Term Planning might make us in the habit of thinking too much. Also,we may tend to focus too much on future rather than on present . 2)What If conditions surrounding our decisions change beyond recognition . Say;we plan something assuming that Personal Computers would be around for 10 more years at least ;and some new thing comes up that eliminates PCs altogether !! Short Term Plannin...

On the night of 30th January ;I set out along with my wife on Honeymoon to the Nainital ;Hill Station of Uttarakhand, a North Indian state . It was quite cold in Delhi and expected to be colder in Nainital. Why I choose it then ? Probably ; I would have choosen some warmer place . But I like going to Hills and even stayed for some time in a few places in Himachal Pradesh . I am specially fond of the Signs marking how much a particular place is above Mean Sea level - say 1500 Metres above Sea level or 2200 Metres above Sea Level and so on . We boarded a Train to Kathgodam which is kind of gateway to many of the Kumaon and other Hill Stations . Even when we got out at Kathgodam,it was quite chilly . The interesting part was the presence of some Europeans (or may be Americans ) in the 2nd class A/C Compartment of the Train . I even commented to one telling him: "Quite an International presence ! " . Whether he liked my one-liner or not is another thing .Ha ha We then hired...

14 Feb 2008 New Delhi / Noida : While waiting for my private Cab Colleagues at ISBT Delhi today ; I saw this Man -around 25 years of Age . He was sleeping with a blanket on one of the Pillars supporting 1 of the Flyovers (probably a Construction worker.) I could see a sense of grief in his eyes. He woke up and I could see he was walking barefoot . How difficult is for such people - with just a blanket under an open sky in such a Cold Weather. At least this Man had a Blanket . Many poor people do not have even this . You would think that I could give a few blankets or do some charity work . But such a thing would only be localised . Can't there be a big revolution in our country to provide all such people with Houses / Shelters as well as more means to live ? May be I am getting idealist but then what I saw today provoked me into thoughts on this . More in my Next Blog Entry .
