Anupam Mishra on Water Harvesting

Posted by Vinod on December 8, 2009

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 thinking that what we find and create now is what will take our future forward and many such talks on TED have made me question my own thoughts and I stand corrected at the end

How you can make simplicity a life’s virtue
How you can live without being blinded by technology innovation
How the past can humble the present so our future can be good
How you can see the goodness in the core of any powerful innovation
How you can appreciate things that don%u2019t come with a dollar amount attached to it

Thank You TED and Anupam

Comment of Scott Kim’s TED Talk

Posted by Vinod on December 4, 2009

Puzzles are so fun to solve and here is someone who finds it lot more fun to make them. In the world of puzzles in our real world, many of us are more creators like Scott rather than solvers.

We create puzzles of seemly simple things and get lost in it unable to solve them. And then there will come a genius telling how stupid we were to create them in the first place.

Check this out
Thinking about loosing weight and creating complex theories on how we are gaining it when what we need is reduce fatty & sugary food & some exercise

Focusing on what is bad in life and being unhappy, when what we need is to realize that if we can find one thing that makes us happy, do it, for it will flow into & replace every other negativity

Getting puzzled on relationships with others when the only thing you need is to be honest, open and accept that both of you are imperfect

Let Scott make the puzzles that trigger our brain and let us not create puzzles in life that wreck our brain – Good talk
