A vent in the Delirium

By 2012 the world population is expected to reach 7 billion and India is slated to surpass China as the most populous nation in this world by 2030. One in every six person on this earth is Indian and they are spread everywhere, on every continent. There is no need really to mention that there is population explosion in India, the numbers are enough to suggest that (21% rate of population growth). To help you in understanding what this means, India adds the entire population of Sri Lanka or Australia every year to its population. The population density is greater than any other nation of the world. Its useless to say that such a huge population in such high densities poses magnanimous challenges of governance, organisation and in providing basic human necessities to the people. The challenge is so very steep because the land area covered by our motherland is just 2.4% of the world but it is inhabited by 16% of the world population. The sheer massiveness of the numbers is a massive...

The most recent incident which prompts you to think on these lines are the breathtaking scenes where a family gets washed away by the sudden rush of water. That person instead of, doing anything or at least making an attempt to save some lives, was busy shooting the real life tragedy on camera. The video is now serving the purpose of amusing the millions world over and inspiring other to do just the same when the opportunity arises. We have lost the conscience or to be more accurate messed it up with the interventions of television in our lives.

All we could think of is capturing a minute of fame. We turn the blast sites into tourist destinations, in hope of making the camera, catching a glimpse of the bomb. The best we can do at these times is to stay at our homes, protect ourselves and give the investigators the peace t...

It has been days since I wrote something on this forum. I had actually lost myself to indulgence. Indulgences of self. Which, however, are just as important. Had some of the better times of my life in the lap of nature and then with family. These things should act as means of rejuvenation and not deterrents. But, it's not easy to keep yourself focused and motivated for the larger goals in times of leisure. One of the most trying times is when you have to redirect yourself on to the road to your goal, back from the state of being direction less. Following a routine is much easier than setting up a routine for yourself. In the pleasures of today it's very easy to forget the destination that you had once set on. Writing here was one thing I had enforced on myself to continue. Like all other things getting back to it was just as difficult. For some days, it was genuinely not possible while for the rest of the days it was just procrastination. It was very hard to make myself r...
