Enjoy the Ride.....

Some of my friends shared this in FB. I seriously thought it was an Ad..actually it is..but not a commercial one.

The reason why I am blogging this and not just sharing in FB is to raise some questions of a different issue..see the video first..

What is Enjoy the Ride?

Enjoy the Ride is a Road Safety Council of Western Australia initiative, brought to you by the Office of Road Safety. Our aim is to show Western Australian drivers that there is an alternative to speeding – on the road and in life. And it’s a better way

"Being in the Moment" - A talk on photography

I was lucky enough to witness a great talk on photography delivered by Mr. Sudhir Ramachandran.  Just to give an idea of his credentials, he was once the Asian Ambassador to the World Council of Professional Photographers (WCPP).
The talk was part of an exhibition on Contemporary Photography organised by National Gallery of Modern Art (NGMA, Blr) and Victoria & Albert Museum, London.
Sudhir started his presentation by saying it's been more than a decade since he gave a talk on photography. And a lot have changed during the time. Many of the pictures he showed was part of his personal collection which have not been shown anywhere else(!).

Arrogant Fools We Are

I just finished reading “Winner Stands Alone” by  Paulo Coelho. Although it was a good read,it did not leave a impact on me except for a small part.The Lead character at one point raises a question about global warming and so called Man’s cruelty towards Earth.

“How can we be so arrogant? The planet is,was and always will be stronger than us.We can’t destroy it,if we overstep the mark,the planet will simply erase us from its surface and carry on existing.Why don’t they start talking about not letting the planet destroy us?”

Its a valid question…isn't it? I mean we shouldn’t be worried about the earth but about ourselves,Human Race as we are collectively called. Actually the posters and banners should read “Save Mankind” (from the atrocities of Man actually) But that would be just selfish,so we try and paint a different picture and say “We Strive to save Earth”

They say the water level is rising and we are cutting down trees,so many species have become extinct etc etc..So what?, May be there will very little land or no land above the sea…may be the world as we know it will become a Water World of some sorts with underwater forests and aquatic creatures.Only thing is we may not be alive to see how the world turns out…may be millions of years later, the new intelligent species may figure out that millions of years ago,that two legged animals ruled the land..

I am not rejecting the views by scientists or activists,I am just saying may be they should convince people to save electricity and reuse & recycle as much as possible not to save Earth ,but to for our own survival.
