The Thursday Update

Details later... 

2 cups of coffee & hello Sunday!

And so my mind races in a different direction this morning. Saw a post on LinkedIn about Albert Einstein giving a lecture to a group of mainly African American students from 1946 (as claimed). In my view the picture tries to portray him as a saviour type personality who was against racism of all sorts. It's also mentioned that he was criticized by his peers for conducting that session.

While I am absolutely against any racism in any form for anyone. I have a fundamental issue about using history / past events as a tool to prove/validate viewpoints. It's like proving a mathematical theorem where we already know the outcome. I have read parts of Albert Einstein's travel diaries on BBC and History Channel etc. So there are some questions around his beliefs based on his documented comments. 

This deeply relates to the entire "CONTENT" engineering issue that we see today and which we will see more and more, in an extremely divided, post COVID19 world.

Black lives matter and infact all lives on this planet matter, but we have to examine and differentiate between propoganda and truth, even when we are fighting racism. 

There is no denial that, for the last 50+ years or more, we could have done a lot more as humanity, on many fronts such as racism and economic disparity. Especially in wake of technological progress we have witnessed. We have to keep asking questions, questions on content that we consume, questions on our 'unquestioned' beliefs, question on the default patterns that we have been programmed to think 'like' , etc. etc. 

Irrespective of answers or no answers. Keep asking the questions! Because we are HUMAN because we ask questions!!

Hello Juvenis!

June comes from the Latin Juvenis which also means young or youth. I have been working with few young people for most of my 'May'. There will be many reasons for remembering May 2020 but there is one biggest and single SAD reason would be the loss of my ABBA. The fact I couldn't be there will be a life long regret. Rest in peace father. 

Walking into June, I will continue to work with the young people and will try to make it more fun and effective. So far have filled up 60% bandwidth with free projects. 

Writing down some ideas today and tomorrow so I can execute. 

June also has to be the defining month in terms of how will I operate for the next few months /possibly this year until we get out of this crisis. 

Here is wishing the readers a great June 2020, stay strong, stay original, stay organised and stay optimistic! 

More later! 

Day 51

So yesterday was day number 50 of me stranded in Dubai due to coronavirus lockdown.

I spent yesterday's morning thinking about, what 5⃣ things these 50 days have taught me..👇

1. Plans don't always go as planned. That is true for travel and for life.

2. You cannot have a perfect life but you can have perfect moments, infact many perfect moments in each day.

3. Fear is an effective mask remover and truth revealer. 

4. Reality, Disease and Death are only words until you are up close with them. The good news is HOPE, KINDNESS and COMPASSION fall in the same category. 

5. Your time (while you are alive) and your content (while you are alive & when you are dead) are few of the most important things. Very few amongst our species value them as much value as these two deserve.

I wish ALL of us Strength, Belief and HOPE. 

Happy Ramadan to all those observing.
