BREAKING LIMITATIONS-(RANDOM THOUGHTS)

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
hour(Crossing Atlantic in half an hour).

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 ?
