I lost my words in the town On the street where the poets live I reached the city of the beautiful dames With a short sight and no glasses I got down in the town of thieves And lost my wallet the very next minute I walked into a town full of blind In search of light to read a book I lived in a city of unknowns And before I knew I forgot my name In a town full [...]
Amongst the severed fingers lie A golden ring engraved ‘peace’ A blind is holding a gun weeping And the deaf is dead with earplugs on The dumb stood still and cried out loud The insane bowed low and begged mercy The powerful were all crushed to dust And life was seen crawling on knees They said this war would restore peace But price per piece was too high to pay How ironic has this world finally become Inscribing death on [...]
via ted.com Metaphors have become so much of a part of our communications that we often don’t realize when we use one. An interesting piece in the video is that its the Metaphor is what gives life to what we convey and keeps it alive in the minds or the listener or reader. Interesting talk that opens up to new information about language Posted via web from vinodn’s posterous
Nothing in his mind Just Uncertainty On death row for 20 years He finally walks free A crime so heinous He wished death than being accused But now he walks Free Half dead of the man he was A part of him was put to death Every single day in confinement Another part just crumbled to dust In the weight of his own optimism 20 years is not short to say People could live a whole life of sin And [...]

“Simplicity of Confidence”, so well said by Dr. V in this video. Medical practitioners’ world over have a position that many professionals don’t have. A position where people come to them with an unflinching element of trust, as it is looked more as a service than a profession. Hence this demands a very bold responsibility on their part to make an impartial judgment of what needs to be done All professions have their service value but the one of doctors [...]
Fields Wicker-Miurin’s talk had some people claiming it not that good or worthy for TED. Well the point many miss is that more than being taught of new things we need to be reminded of what we already know. I felt the talk was really good for it let us know closely three lives from different parts of the world that had the same message to convey, doing something to make this a better world.

Interesting to note someone say that there is an Indian way to things and that it is very similar to the ways in other places, but built from the myth and believes in India. People visiting India both for fun and business both have seen the diversity from cultural traits with which they could never relate properly to mannerisms, accent and attire, that make them more at home. My take is they find it tough to put one face to [...]
