Ta ta to growth

What the hell is the matter with bengal. Bengal takes pride in it's glorious past and is making sure that it's future son's n daughters will have nothing else to do either. They are so hell bent on preventing anyone do anything productive that we feel like giving them recognition for being unbiased at least. The fact that a sizeable portion of the citizen give credence to the hails of a mad /manipulative out of work woman is a pity. The fact remains that in order to make a factory industrialist need land and lets face it - it's a necessary evil .. we cant do without these factories. But it does not mean that all is fair.. no the farmers have every right to demand better compensation for their homes/land. So protest for that . demand better. a more fair compensation. Democracy is a thing that when overused can only give diarrhea to the nation. When the majority of people have given in to the proposal the so called messiah of the oppressed may come in and help them get a better deal. But thats not the intention here. All she wants ,as any other politician (who can blame her if the people here are that much more dumber) is to get political points. So she comes in and says that the tata pack their bags and leave the poor ole farmers to tile their lands. But then why are CMs of 10 other states unabatedly waiting with garlands in their hands ??? Its not that these CM are ideal politicians or some such extinct species. Simple the people elsewhere are more sensible today and their success is more dependent on the goods they deliver. So a simple solution to to a chunk of the problems in here is that the voters become a bit sensible.

What's the difference between a man and a machine

Listing out the present comparison vis-a-vis the man and the machine is not the theme here. What i m hinting at is the fundamental difference the psychology if you may. The present machine is better at some stuff and the man is better at some (mostly the mushy stuff.. drawing a parallel with the comparison of male v/s female) But the thing is that whatever the deficiencies of machine is right now..there are enough people working at them to have them sorted out in the near future. Then what .. machines will be the master a la 'The Matrix'. Not quite - the human mind is revolving at a fast pace as well ... we may think that the pace evolution is akin to that of a snail... We it is not . The difference in awareness and intellectual/knowledge levels among the kids today and the one before them is fairly noteworthy. So the main question was what is so different in the man and the machine. The man may be weak physically, slow mentally and vulnerable in an array of ways. But the thing is that the human mind is a tortoise .. slow and steady ..it has the capability to think beyond the means presented to him ... something that no machine however advanced can. The human mind may be slow that it needs more time to add simple numbers but it sure can devise a way to get the job done. The human mind on its own may come out a bit weak but coupled with a bit of spirit it can work wonders. The adrenaline factor is one that only makes us do the impossible. The machine on the other hand will shut off faced with an impossible task !

The World Today

We have learned to look the other way when something wrong happens in front of us or even to us and our loved ones. We are helpless we believe. But if such is the case .. when all of us are helpless, then why is the human such hyped to be such a mighty one? Life today is not really about living rather on surviving. Living is when you feel good about yourself, the world you live in. Rather survival is what we are doing. We have ensconced so to say in this world of corruption, lies and violence but that is not we can ever be comfortable with ever. We follow not the principle of right being always right but try to survive with all our might. The terrorism that we have witnessed growing over the past 10-15 years the world over - well there is no solution in sight. Many of us may believe in the fantasy that almost all sci-fi authors portray - the near demise of human race and from the brink the rise of a perfect society free of violence and with peace loving sensible denizens. Seeing the recent events i have realized this is just hoping for the sake of hope. We hope that this violence will peak one day and soon it will be finished.. just like we hope some guy in a lab suit will get a solution for the cancer and AIDS.. Well humans are not as easy as viruses. As long as there are people on the lower stratum of society and a few manipulative men ..there will be enough issues to keep the terror race running.
