Slavery

“Make the Nation Read” is a great mission statement for a startup, that publishes free book summaries and promises to keep services free forever. My old handset dies a natural death after living a long, fulfilled life of seven years, and I need to download several apps again, in the new monster that enslaves me, … Continue reading Slavery

Mossy stones

I take a walk down memory lane, and stop by the moss-covered milestones on the way. Why did they matter so much at that point of time, and why did they lose relevance later on? It was the dream of a child holding a balloon in hand, and wanting to fly, not knowing the competition … Continue reading Mossy stones

Wind under wings

I’m grateful I can walk and run, but I wish I could fly. Mobility and speed matter in the race of life, but more so the perspectives.

Strategic campaigns

“The electoral campaign strategy looks good, but what if public opinion sways to the other side?” “If it does, the strategy is not good. Design mental processors in a way, that the outcome aligns, not collides, after touching the outside world.” “You have a point there. We are no good without followers, and everything should … Continue reading Strategic campaigns

Imperceptible

I’ve not been there with you from the beginning, and will not accompany you to the end. I’ll meet you at the point you abandoned your dreams, and opted for the comfort zone.  See it as a storm, a whirlpool, a crazy flight or a journey- I will carry you to the point where you … Continue reading Imperceptible

“And what kind of convoluted thought process is that?” Exasperating farrago of distortions, misrepresentations&outright lies being broadcast by an unprincipled showman masquerading as a journalist. “It is rodomontade by a prominent scripturient politician, who seeks lalochezia by sending people scurrying around to look for promptories.” “Spare me the torture. He is nothing but a snollygoster.” … Continue reading English
