"Think Different"

"Here’s to the crazy ones. The misfits. The rebels. The troublemakers. The round pegs in the square holes. The ones who see things differently. They’re not fond of rules. And they have no respect for the status quo. You can quote them, disagree with them, glorify or vilify them. But the only thing you can’t do is ignore them. Because they change things. They invent. They imagine. They heal. They explore. They create. They inspire. They push the human race forward. Maybe they have to be crazy. How else can you stare at an empty canvas and see a work of art? Or sit in silence and hear a song that’s never been written? Or gaze at a red planet and see a laboratory on wheels? While some see them as the crazy ones, we see genius.

Because the people who are crazy enough to think they can change the world, are the ones who do." !!!

From The Corner of My Reflecting Mind

TM Preeti Pathak

When some people speak, they cast a spell on our mind and leave us wanting to hear more while some as soon as they give the slightest hint of mood to talk, we want to escape the boredom. The language and the words may have been the same but then how does this difference of impact come in. The idea caught my mind as I sat on one evening with a mug of coffee leaving its strong aroma to wake me up with a few questions in mind, as I was picking up some of the scattered thoughts in my reflective mind.

What is communication? Did it not exist before language? Is it then so imperative to say “words matter”? “Language matters”? “Style” matters. Is it really necessary to practice the gestures and the expressions and the body language and the verbal expressions?

My mind nudges me with another set of ideas. Thoughts have a beauty of their own. Sometimes has questions and then also finds the answers from the same depth of thoughts.

I had the answer, we did communicate even when we had no words, no sentences and no language. Perhaps there were more of sounds, like what Tarzan did. Language of sounds and gestures might have been self-sufficient at that stage but life does not remain stagnant.

The troglodytes wrapped leaves around themselves and used stones to spark fire and then came the new ideas for making life easy. The fire gave light, the wheel gave movement, the bulb gave ambition to explore for more and the scientific view, discoveries, inventions, defined the new man’s intellectual requirement. Currency gave industrial revolution and this paved the way for political and financial revolution gradually. Each change had its impact in the social evolution of man. Human progress, society, social code of conduct, life style, all gave its way in the name of civilization. Man combated with wilderness and the life of uncertainties for many years. Then came the civilization and an age of scientific era led by inventions. Anthropology, Sociology, cultural science was evolving hand in hand with science. Global political, social, financial, turbulences did not leave anything untouched. With changing times, more literacy, reasoning man, intellectual awakening, saw the seeds of making life easier, better and smother.
