Communication



One of the key aspects of human interaction and establishing connections, is Communication!
Voila!
CALL & CONNECT,  TEXT & CONNECT, EMAIL & CONNECT , FACETIME, WHATSAPP AND SKYPE,  TWEET, IG... phew... Endless List, unlimited access and options.

High Octane, Hi Tech sophisticated Means of Communication.

OMG!! Easypesy!

Well! Not Really...

We chat online,  we post updates and "Global Gyan" but don't really connect..

We've All become akin to the "Lady of Shalott" , who can observe only the thrice removed Reality...

We may tweak our perspective and or Lens to leverage a situation, which has spiralled out of our control, but we don't communicate effectively.

We sit on a pedestal gazing below and in our comfort zone, but lack the gumption to confront our reality...

We are on Facebook,  but avoid communicating face to face...

We post pics and updates, but Don't meet each other on a  one to one basis !

We have evolved into being Experts in the "Dance of Avoidance "

Social Media has become increasingly a way to "Ghosting' People... Those who were our friends and now are not of any Use to us....

We live in a Fish Bowl but hide our genuine feelings from others and Ourselves..!!

We're not mediocre,  run of the Mill Millennials; we're evolved, exceptionally mega talented, creative and Successful artists and social Beings who are completely disconnected from ground Reality of Life!

We live the Lifestyle we propagate and have condescend to tolerate the mediocre majority, who are Quintessential for our survival and Celebrity Status!

After All, we have eclectic Taste, Class,  Wealth and privilege at our disposal. Why , in the world would we be regular normal people?? Why... INDEED?!

Teacher's Day: Raison D'Etré

Today marks an important day in Our Lives. We pay homage to the Educationist and the former President of our nation, Dr. Sarvapalli Radhakrishnan, on the occasion of his Birthday, today. All my colleagues who are ,who were and who will be, Teachers/ Educators. Why do we celebrate Teacher's Day? Perhaps, we don't have anything else to offer to our Teacher, other than mere platitudes and sweet words..? As a token of Our Appreciation; to exercise political correctness, fulsome praise, embellished with wordy gems...! Perhaps, this is enough... at least for those who are heaping ENCOMIUMS; never mind if its equally so for the recipients! The social structure is designed to cater to the affluent,the powerful; the ambitious, go getters, the successful and the famous, who're social networking experts. Wealth  and Power are buzz words of the elite. The tribe is inclusive : Corporate Czars, Media Moguls, Financial Whizzes, Creative Heads, Artistic Prima Donnas: the ...

Music the food for Soul

 The rendition of symphony in stringing the seven notes is a feat which requires immense creativity, improvisation, skill, talent and dexterity.  Music is nourishment for the senses and the soul.  It transports us from the mundane to the magical.  It stirs our innate self and rejuvenates our parched being, evoking the divine chord . One of the most soul stirring songs penned by Gurudev Rabindranath Tagore is Ekla Cholo Re!  This Soul stirring song implores one to forge ahead,with passion,  faith and courage regardless of any support, it is reflective of Mahatma Gandhi's Indomitable will and Courage under fire... Today,  we celebrate MK Gandhi's 154th birth anniversary we salute his spirit and his steely resolve to gain independence from foreign rule.  The saint of Sabarmati and the poet laureate of Bengal, both are united by their zeal and contribution to our illustrious nation. The Muse and the artist, the leader and the Litterateur evoke Our dee...

A Note to Self

 When one invests in an enterprise, A labour of Love, intense and pure, Focuses on one's aim, vows to decide, Come what may, I'll win  for sure, Scale the High and the Lows, to arrive, In full consciousness, to rise above any lure. To achieve and lose and still survive,  Awaiting patiently, whatever more Has been ordained, granted or denied. To forge ahead, derive strength from core Of Being; unrelenting till the goal is reached.  The dual aspects of worldly success or Failure, Become irrelevant, their impact breached And dwindle to a thing of Folklore. The epiphany, is to actualize Self, To evolve to a composite whole.
