Students with Scientist Programme

A nice trip to the abode of Krishna, udupi far from the madding crowd of Bangalore. The weather was good and no sign of rain I was ready to go with my lecture on the Universe which was titled " Travelling @ Celeritas" I am sure the comp does'nt understand Celeritas, this is where I had the upper hand over the audience as they also had not heard the word.

Well i am glad that these things happen in life. A place I longed to visit and now I was there at udupi. The lecture started at 2:00 rather than at 1:00 as it was supposed to start. Then the questions from the audience, discussion and clarifications all were so up to the mark that I could not have asked for more. I was impressed with the level of thinking of the students there as I have not encountered such questions in Bangalore. Students were wanting more but we had crossed the 4:00 p.m. limit. But I should say, I am really happy the way students are developing in these towns. "Necessity is really the mother of invention".

I wish the vision group all the success in their endeavour.

The aftereffects of consumerism

Though sounded very good in the begining as an Idea, Consumerism has now turned into a curse to the developing modern society, Here are my views on this
1. Too many things to choose from, hence with disposable salary we are juncking many thing at the place once used to be our Home.
2. Every aspect of life is measured in terms of money and what you have back home in your House.
3. Essence of humanity is taking a hit as NGO are now commercial
4. Every aspect of life including flood relief is seen from a profitability perspective
5. Later even having kids will be looked into form this perspective, what can this child earn when he grows up, exactly the way an uncivilised would look at the birth of a boy child, so are we civilised?
6. Because the beauty product add said I look like shit, I need to buy their product is the attitude today, what happened to your common sense?
7. Every thing boils down to this, only 1% of the population is leading the life of conviction while 99% is going behind convenience, hence the end of civilization is nearing us, Dont tell me I didnt tell you...........
Happy consumerism and capitalism, Screw up your lives and may your children go to hell, why bother you will see them there.....
