Every move is a work of art. What it translates into is money – for the artist, producers of TV shows, organisers and so many layers in between. No wonder administrative positions in control boards are highly sought after, for the power they wield over grants, ad revenue and collections. I see the same happening … Continue reading Sports and Art
Nature divided the world into continents. There are oceans, forests and deserts that separate regions and inhabitants from one another. It’s no wonder we created communities, then kingdoms and nations and the so-called United Nations. No wonder that many of them are at war with each other due to insecurity or a desire for more. … Continue reading International Peace and Love Day

Someone decides to transgress the … Continue reading May – Mental Health Awareness Month
Humans will perpetually look for sources of energy to survive. The social, geographical, economic and political structures we have created restrict access to planet resources. It makes some people rich and others dependent, which leads to conflict or war. Needless to say, invention takes genius and research capacity. But cost determines the end user. Will … Continue reading Energy
My body is too thick and stiff to squeeze into unknown dimensions, but mind is over eager to do so. Wait a minute, why assume that I need to ‘squeeze into’ something? The not-yet-known dimensions may just offer more wiggle room to test new ideas, or a vast, open space to experiment. We can give … Continue reading Dimensional thoughts
Sets emphasize the need for a limited space for relevance and effectiveness. Theories and formulae do not work beyond that. One can see the principle being followed in politics, civic administration and corporates. Lines of authority and command areas are clearly defined. Space is a more flexible term leading to infinity.

All sources of light hold a conference to discuss their future. The house with a solar panel on top walks in uninvited. It may be a consumer, but is equally affected by the angry sun. Reports say the Sun is shooting out flares, like bits and pieces separate and head for nowhere. Is the Sun … Continue reading Less than a Dot
