Should we exist this way ?

The curiosity of mankind with finding Life on another planet has always been there. Various scientific expeditions, telescopes roaming all over the outer space, various researches going on. And often there are reports all over stating that there are life supporting planets many light years away from our own.

Considering the philosophical side of it. Suppose if we do come across such a world, where life exists. We as a life form called HUMANS, existing on this third planet of the solar system called Earth. We have our own definitions for things that exist. It was around 5 or 6 years ago that the planet Pluto was deprived of its "planet" status. And there are various things as well, which we define for our own sensibilities.

As humans, we are supposed to co-exist with all the fellow living beings on the Earth. But that's not what is happening. Just wonder, that one day, we do discover that there is a life-existing planet other than ours, and there is a life-form as well!
And when we try to approach them, and they nudge us aside saying that we are NOT humans ! According to their notions, we don't classify to be something called Home Sapiens. Homo Sapiens do not destroy it's own living place. It doesn't harm the other fellow natural beings that are co-existing here. They don't erode the planet of all it's rich resources. And it doesn't at all involve in practicing acts which end up ending the precious lives of one another. No we are not Humans!

People will only realise it when somebody who is not Human, deprives us of our human status! Yes, I know I am being too hypothetical in this. But it was just a thought which came to mind. What if such things do happen ? What if, in the search of our own neighbours, we end up losing our own status. The plethora of accusations which we receive from our own kind, we don't hinder them even a thought. We keep them aside. Only when it comes as a question to our existence, we speak. Only then do we react. Only then it would lead to cross examination, as to how ruthless and senseless we are. Or rather, all that we propagate of our intelligence and sensibility, how all of it is just, a farce!

Think!

Vicious Circle of Survival of the Fittest

It's one of the famous theories existing in the world. The one part of the evolutionary theory proposed by Charles Darwin, which we all have learnt in school - "Survival of the fittest". Along the years of human evolution, the above said principle has seen to be followed by us as a species. And it is very evident in other species as well. The strong and the healthy ones, survive the competition and progress further in time. The ones who are weak, perish and the cycle repeats for numerous number of times. It might have been repeating for millions of years! Once one-sided, but it returns back! When we reflect on our society, we see the very repercussions of this theory in it. People have been evolving as civilizations along many years, and there have been remarkable changes in our societies as well. But as we should see two sides of everything, there are two sections of people, one which is very well off in their lives, and another section which is not at all so. P...

Congratulations to Sachin!

And after a wait of 369 days, the day has finally come! March 16, 2012 will go down in the history books as the day when the Master Blaster Sachin Tendulkar reached the almost unrepeatable milestone of 100 International Centuries in the Game of Cricket. This particular century had garnered a lot of attention, especially since it was the 100th one. And also because it took such a long time. Possibly the most Sachin has taken between centuries before. But as we say, all good things come with a wait, Sachin also had to sweat it out for 33 innings and then came this much-awaited century. It hasn't been easy for him at all, it's not that you by-default get a 100 if you reach a particular point. He had to strive for each and every run, even for the single after the 99. That's how the game is. Just merely because he is an expert in the game, doesn't make his work easy. It just makes others to consider it as easy for him. For him, each and every match, each and every inn...

Lockdown Zindabad

The whole world has turned a 360 degree turn and each and every human is at the risk of it right now. Yes, COVID - the new sensation of health and concern is out here.  We, as humankind, are facing at a situation, where the most challenging and dangerous health hazard has confronted us and we are all at nothing less than, at the mercy of it. There are millions affected because of this pandemic across the world, countries are suffering, population has been affected and economies have crippled because of COVID. It's said that every country has been taken backwards by almost 2 decades because of this - economically, and it will take years to recover from this. As multiple nations suffer through this lockdown, we can only sit and witness what these turn of events are going to bring ahead for us. Let's hope that we all come out of this with nothing but - survival!
