The World is so Full of Idiots

Jilmitra spoke again and said, "And what of Idiots, master?"

"Look at all your peers, bosses, neighbors and friends – those so called successful men. Underneath it all, they do this all for their ‘women’. They work like mad for that fancy house their women want. Do you think these idiots will care to strive this hard, if all their women are happy to screw them in a card board box? Their drive comes from women who are clueless about what they want in life. Or women who have a screwed up value system that never keeps them happy anyway. Now tell me, isn’t the world so full of idiots?"

Then begged a loser, "Speak to us of spiritual gurus."

"They are fascists, actually. They have a ridiculously high level of ignorance to think that they have found something that others have not. They even go about designing packages for your spiritual growth. And they know nothing about you. They teach nothing close to creating an enlightened man. If not, the world will be so full of Buddha’s today, isn’t it? Wake up and see what kind of idiots these gurus are!"

Then a hip young man said, "Obama?"

"Are you telling me Obama has the clues? Hahaha. He or his army of advisors understand nuts about their own economical or political system. They are like these clueless doctors. They all experiment. They take actions that they themselves are not sure of and hope for the miracle to bring in the healing. Like pilots that turn a knob but has no clue of the internal engineering."


Then an old stressed project manager pleaded, "Speak to us of the subject-matter-experts."

"Their nonsense level on that subject is slightly higher than yours, that’s all. All these subjects have a great level of connection and dependency. Knowing only one subject in deep is of no use absolutely. The term ‘subject matter’ expert itself is ridiculously meaningless. What can I say of these subject matter idiots then?"

“Master, what of scientists? And men with originality?” demanded a woman who held a thick book against her bosom.

"Does any one really understand fully what lies beneath the oceans, the cosmos, the genes, the life, the matter, the purpose? Look at the history. Every now and then, some one puts forth a theory and that stands for centuries until some one else breaks it with another theory. The greatest damages to the world are done by this bunch of ignorant men."

"Those who claim they have the originality are the greatest liars. For there is no such thing as originality. Its only a matter how smart you are in hiding the sources. Or what kind of idiots you are dealing with."

And the world is so full of idiots.

A Date - Part 1

“Good Morning. How is everything? Did you manage to have an early breakfast date with yourself?” I was on the bed in a hotel room in Jakarta when that SMS woke me up. I only managed to get a very few hours of sleep that night. Even in that, my mind went churning non-stop on some meaningless, unconnected things. I was literally aware of all that turmoil in the half sleep, twisting and tossing through it. Back to the SMS. All the SMS I get usually are with a single consistent purpose - my colleagues trying to find my whereabouts. Note - none of them is a hot babe. (This is altogether a different topic - how come no hot chick in this whole damn world manages to become an IT architect!!) Oh, for a change, I do occasionally get some irritating marketing campaigns. So, it is not a wonder that this message sprang me awake like a Maasai Warrior. (Maasai are an African tribe famous for their ability to rise from the deepest sleep to a state of total combat readiness in a matter of seconds)...

Reboot the Universe - Part 1

Let me warn you first. This is going to be a damn serious reading. I have access to a certain secret button. The button that reboots the Universe! At this point, if you are my wife or anyone else that doesn’t take me seriously, you better quit reading. If you are chatty Praful, naughty Babul, genius-explored Thakkali, genius-unexplored Hendry I, genius-recently-explored Henry A, Hilarious K, Cy - a big Welcome! If you are a stranger here, you have beaten an odd of 2,317,563,890,001 : 1 in hitting an intelligent blog. Congrats! If you are me, you are really sexy, sensational, cool, etc etc and btw finish writing this fast. It all started when she settled in the Starbucks at 11AM, Latitude14° 35’ N and Longitude 120° 57E. It was a working day. Hush, don’t ask. She is random. Dazzlingly random. And she needs to be in random places to get into her genius moments. But that crumby place was so noisy that she had to plead God’s help. Then she suddenly realized (or over heard from the noise...

The Great Indian Divide - Part 1

Have you combed an Indian metro recently? What struck you as the blinding flash of the obvious? The shining India? AND also in a few meters, a POOR nation caught in the slip stream of capitalism? An economic divide ? AND hence a cultural divide ? In short, did you notice the Class Conflict ? It’s the same class conflict or “alienation” that Karl Marx saw in the late 1800s. This has been a cause of my reluctance to move back to India. Because common sense and history tells that such class conflicts will result in social unrest and ugly revolutions as small as “mangalore bar attacks” (google it) to something as catastrophic as the French Revolution. What is the cause for this great Indian divide? The answer is “Knowledge Economy” and the “Knowledge Workers”. Let me dummify these terms first. Think of a line (like the poverty line) called the machine line . You are above the machine line if machines are your slaves. For example, a biotechnologist or a banker who uses a computer to get hi...
