I thought it was important that I write a response to a recent post of Adora Svitak’s post whats-with-countries-ending-in Tried posting in her blog, buts seems my comment was much larger than the post. Anyways here it is if it does not get posted there. Adora, I landed on your site as I wanted my daughter to view your blog, I had seen your talk in a TED video. You have good language and excellent writing skills. I am not [...]
Today I watched the TED video by Christopher “moot” Poole the founder of 4chan, a controversial, uncensored online imageboard. The comments were also very interesting and I like to share some of the ‘for anonymity’ threads. It gives us (the reader) a peek into the darkest corners of human mind. It gives us a glimpse of how our culture is evolving (again as a reader) Anonymity is beautiful, it automatically rids people of status and therefore ego I liked these [...]
I had written about Sir Ken’s first talk in TED earlier and today I had a chance to hear him again. The last talk did change me in the way I looked at what my kids wanted and as a result my daughter whom we were pushing for violin classes, given a choice stopped it and enrolled in Gymnastics. Now the result is that I don’t have to remember the dates of the classes, nor do I have to ask [...]
Happen to see an excellent talk by Kiran Bir Sethi, at TED.com. She is the founder of Riverside Schools in Ahmadabad Its so true that we often forget what we can learn from kids as we are always busy teaching them to be like us. The fact that our life was shaped by the child in us reinstates that we can learn now from the children around us. What the world needs is that unadulterated, unbiased and honest solutions to [...]
“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. Again the Ted videos should [...]
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 [...]
My expectation on Tharoor’s talk was too high I guess. More over there was a lot of twitterola on the same. He is with no doubt a great speaker and a refreshing addition to the Indian politics. His talk lights up these thoughts in my mind 1. The bricks that hold the diversity of India are very strong 2. India has so many more stories that can engross the world easily for another century 3. in a short time every [...]
Self Reliance and self sufficiency are always a topic. It is so amazing to see how technology and innovation in its raw form can make a change to common life. While we run around with mobiles and laptops thinking that we hold the world in our hands we often forget the wisdom of the past that gave birth to extraordinary innovation even in the commonest and simplest minds I have always only been a selective preservationist of the past always [...]
When ever a story is being told a new story is being weaved by each listener who in turn becomes a part of this new story. the original story is then retold by the listener to himself over and over so much that the original story gains a more personal significance for the listener. What I mean is that every story sparks creativity within every listener and takes its own form sometimes preserving the message conveyed, and sometimes distorting the [...]
