Lost in Dreams…

If everything happened the way you wished, there would not be any dreams…. I was living the dream, which I wanted to.. Somebody said good things hardly last… And now I am back in Zombieland, so that I can dream about living the dream….

In simple words, I am back in United Arab Emirates for work… I’m taking a small break from life.. I arrived in the land of construction and chaos, few days back…

I am here for a short time, so that I can go back and live the dream…

Wish me luck, to cross this phase of life…

Signing off 2009 with the hope that 2010 will be better…  These two comic strips sum up my thoughts…

The following words are from the Botany Textbook of First Year of Higher Secondary of Tamil Nadu state board (Standard Eleven in Indian System of Schooling). The textbooks are released by the government. The very first words from the textbook written by Dr A Jaffar Hussain (Chairperson, Text Book Writing Committee) are exactly quoted below.

We are passing through an “Era of Biology”. Words like “Biotechnology’,'Bioremediation”, “Biochips”, “Biomineralization”, “Bioinformatics” etc. have become familiar even with “common man”. Certainly there is a new unusual never-before tried approach to address and solve many problems associated with modern life and to enhance the quality and standard of living by application of modern tools of Biology; particularly the Genetically Modified Foods (GM Foods) and other GM Products have revolutionized our Life.

All I could manage after reading this was : WTF ?

We are preparing the young generation by brainwashing them into thinking that everything about modern life and new technologies are good and better in life. We are looking at a situation where these students are going to demand GM Foods in their table just because they assume it is going to “revolutionise” their life.

A wonderful quote by E  F  Schumacher

“Any intelligent fool can make things bigger, more complex, and more violent. It takes a touch of genius – and a lot of courage – to move in the opposite direction.”
