Wonders of the World

We all are aware about the wonders of the world which our ancestors have made through bricks and stones. From my point of view, they are just the physical wonders. If I compare today with modern wonders, I find them insignificant. I will talk about few virtual wonders about which experts are not talking today, people are not discussing about but for the betterment of coming generations, we must discuss more and more about these wonders that I am going to write in this blog. And I will try to explain that why they are better wonders than physical wonders.

These few virtual wonders occur because of technology, globalization and democracy.

The technological wonders are now everyday affair for many people in this world. These wonders are airplanes, computers, and mobile phones and so on.

The wonders because of globalization are alleviations of poverty. The accumulations of assets by individuals in this world have been done not through the efforts of few generations but just in one generation. I like to quote few of these individuals. Narayana Murthy and Ambani from India who created billions in just one generation, Bill Gates and Google brothers from USA created billions and so on are wonders of 21st century. Are not these a wonders?

But my focus today is for democratic wonders.

The democracy is a beautiful form of governance in this modern world. All conscious and educated individuals feel the necessity of these. You ask any free people he or she will never get tired of telling the plus points of democracy but when people want to die for democracy in the countries like Nepal or Pakistan, it speaks volume. People even in the Muslim world will be ready to die for it if they taste freedom just once. Till the time rituals keep them busy and entangled, they may be controlled through military rulers or dictatorships or pseudo-democracy but once they are free from rituals to think aloud, they would like to have full real democracy where any individual can get capability to create wonders.

A point to note: In 21st century, every individual has the capability to create wonders!!

That is what happened in the recent elections in Uttar Pradesh, the biggest state of India. Democratic wonders have occurred. All intelligence failed. All predictions lagged behind. The established organizations were demolished. Communist and Congress lost to harness credit for past glory. The established khandani party managers lagged miserably in their strategic efforts. Gandhi failed. Bachchan failed. A wonder took place. Mayawati wins election with majority. Mayawati is a democratic wonder.

She wins when Gandhi was at peak with young Rahul taking politics as his birthright. Young Priyanka tried all her smiles to rule ignorant crowd. But democracy played its wonder. It produced Maya. Sonia may complain about organizational fault but she must know basic. If Congress has no strong organization, then who has better organization on this land - Mamta, Jaya, Rabri or Chandrababu Naidu? The time for established khandani elitist has come to the stage of extinction. Now, Gandhi will be wiped out from this land in next 4-5 years.

Earlier and even now our media, print as well as TV, experts are hardly aware about the reasons of these wonders. They keep guessing and wasting educated and intellectual’s resources. They keep talking about caste, which has no relevance to this flat world. The established intellectuals and social researchers like Yogendra Yadav and others are unnecessary talking about caste. Because of these people are forced to waste plenty of time discussing insignificant issues. Is it a surprise if established and famous people do not have time to breath properly?

Talks about these wonders will be the topic of discussions for long time to come. Like people are studying the success of Lalu all over the world even in Oxford University, they will study about Maya for long time. The change in syllabus will be essential necessity for growth and innovation.

But is it easy to understand these wonders of democracy. It is not unique, there are many and I would list few of them-

1. Obama thinking to become President of USA
2. Bill Clinton as US President and now trying to be the first husband.
3. Hamas ruling Palestine
4. Ahmadinejad ruling Iran
5. Rabri as Chief Minister
6. Lalu as Railway Minister
7. Jayalalita as Chief Minister
8. Uma Bharti became the Chief Minister

There are many examples but I shall leave them for my readers to guess.

Talking about all these wonders extensively in blog may not be feasible especially when people hardly have time to read the write up from not so famous writer. People have no obligation of regionalism, casteism or religious backing to read and praise. All are happy in their small circular world in this flat environment. The fantastic writings and superb analyses go waste most of the time. I have given the glimpse of many of these happening in the world in my book written in 2005. But, people are still searching for reasons and wasting their time. They are busy in reinventing wheels and claiming to be their innovations and contributions. With time, this disrespect to creations has to vanish for the growth of human beings.

But for the time being, this much is good enough to throw some light especially for those who dare to respect innovative ideas.

How wonders like Maya occurred to this civilization. I challenge to all the experts to throw some light upon this, I doubt for their successes. They will fail. Not because they do not have intelligence, it is because they have never witnessed such changes. They are trying to look towards future with the spectacles of past. Can you ever know future without experiencing the changes? You have to live to experience. There are no write-ups for such successes. Writing about 1857 is different ball game. Writing about these wonders of 21st century is another. How can they predict?

Even India Today does not hesitate to show Maya dictatorial view when it writes, “The age of Maya will be marked by dictatorial temptations of the supreme leader.” What are they talking about? They still think in the dictatorial terms of Congress rule of 1947 when there was no opposition. Today there are list of oppositions. Mulayam, CBI, Rahul and Kalyan will ever allow anyone to rest? It may be easy for our established analyst to write about dictatorial mentality of Maya. Can they ever dare to write dictatorial mentality of Arjun or Sonia when she forces all poverty stricken polices for the nation? We need to understand the ground situations in new perspectives.

Like technologies have produced wonders in the area of product and services, can you expect that it can produce wisdom and experts too? Just think over. And read the reasons for how the wonders like Maya are created because of democracy. Few of reasons for democratic wonders are as follows.

1. Never ask favour from established professionals
2. Focus on your wisdom and direction
3. Don’t rely on old conservative intellectuals from developing world
4. Set your goal and unique path
5. Never talk to Press because most of the time they are part of established organization which has no future unless revamped.
6. Disclose destinations at time but not path, let people keep guessing
7. Leave parents shadow to give due gifts of 21st century – Don’t behave like Abhishek or Anil to remain in the shadow.
8. Never get discouraged from the view of majority because they are the part of feudal system
9. Use modern resources to augument your efforts
10. Search a godfather
11. Create wisdom domain
12. Do it alone.

How difficult it would be for Maya to prepare herself for such a big achievement all alone? There is no coterie, no managers and no family to share the successes. That’s why she almost giggled during swearing ceremony. In this if she behaves sometime like Jaya, sometime like Lalu or other time like Sonia or Indira Gandhi, she has all the right to behave like that. She has to set her own goals. She has to scribe her own reactions. That is where I feel I have explained in bits and pieces about the growth mechanism of individuals like Maya.

Life has given you opportunities. Everyone has capabilities to do wonders. You have potential. You are not scheduled caste, backward or forward, you are not Sikh, you are not Muslim, you are not Bengali or Tamilians. These are all wrong perceptions. You are energy. You can create wonders. Believe me!!

Take Hard Decision in Lighter Moment!

Hello,
Why do you want to destroy this world? Distruction is easy, construction is difficult. It is a challenge for all human being to become constructive to achieve Allah wishes and self contentment.
Human beings are passing through one of the golden phase of history. We have all the luxary to enjoy life. You have to just unlearn wrong teaching by some selfish preachers.
Enrich and enjoy!!
Think over.
