RANDOM THOUGHTS
Well, its been ages since I blogged. Maybe
last time I blogged was when Dinosaurs dominated landscape. I ve been quite occupied
with my day job that several of my side
obsessions have been pushed to remote corner of globe …maybe as remote as Madagascar
or Mongolia or Siberian gulags (Wonder how many heard of Madagascar till film
had that title.) Here I write some thoughts that randomly hit my mental screen.
Hope you enjoy it.
#Thinking Big:
One
of my friend recently was telling me that Reliance JIO investment was 2 lakh
crore! That set me thinking. Lakh has 5 zeros & crore has 7 zeros. That
means 2 lakh crore means 2,000,000,000,000 /-....
I
cant even imagine such a huge amount, forget the part doing business with such monstrous
amount. What possible Gigantic mindset must Ambanis must be possessing
that makes them think so big and act so big and audacious? ...and where are
we?...can we even think so Big? How about Jio's impact which added a new customer every second? it changed entire nations habits. it revolutionized how we communicate forever. Indian Telecom age can be divided Pre Jio and Post Jio.
#Thinking Different:
Next,
i was reading about Elon musk, man who sees future coming with SpaceX,
Electrical transportation, hyper loops. He is revolutionizing world we are
living. He is dreaming London to New york transport complete in half an
There, for him, seem no limitations for his
imagination and word impossible doesn’t exist even in remotest sense. The very
minimum bench mark they have is something like skies for mere mortals like me.
# Thinking Creative:
Have
you folks seen films like Interstellar, Inception , Memento, Lucy, Matrix ? All
these Sci-Fi films challenge intellect. Its sheer wonder how writers of films
and director ever come with such grand creative ideas?. And on other hand , even
we challenge intellect when bollywood churn same routine masala love story
films in tons and tons and never get bored. Interstellar had lots of emotions
yet had such a strong plot. Memento was loop with no beginning or end same as
Inception. (Gazini being its BPL cousin off Urban Memento), Lucy and Matrix had
ancient yogic shades yet firangs were better exploiting our ideas than
ourselves (Remember, Gandhi was made by Attenbourgh and Matrix had Sanskrit sloka
as rock song in credits)
What
makes Ambanis, Elon musk or Abdul kalam or Christopher Nolan so different that
Gods of wealth and fame embrace them? Even they are humans like any of us yet
they are way superior. Its sheer amazing!! That might be magic of thinking
big..Very Big!! Very different and Creative!!
Here
we are worried about daily humdrum and bicker about tiny things when these are
trying to break the frontiers andThese same people who have ability to see
beyond their lifetimes, who are audacious to have vision beyond human
capacities. Well, should that inspires us or terrify us? The common mortals!!
Some
thing worth pondering!!! isnt it ?
