Random Thoughts

God’s been kind and has put my career on the right path thwarting me from creating a monster out of my thoughts during these days of solitude.

A slight void which absence of Preeti and Kanu has created has suddenly pushed my thoughts into a vortex. My mind has started debating and analyzing anything interesting which I see or hear by taking a plunge into my knowledge of myself.

For instance yesterday I nearly overanalyzed Toffler who explained us in an economic sense the planet has seen a Powershift in this millennium towards the one with knowledge/information. To the categories of power of Brawn (muscle, gun etc), wealth, Knowledge/information by Toffler I added a power of fame also.

Interestingly enough there is another form of Powershift which happens within each form of Power if the beholder is not able to handle it coz “Power Corrupts and absolute Power corrupts absolutely”. One just needs to open up his mind and to see it in play all around him.

Kambli scored 349 not out in the famous school match at the age of 13 in which Tendulkar scored 326 not out. Over the years as the money and fame started trickling in not both of them were able to handle it in the same way. The one who was able to keep himself focused and head grounded is the one who has raised the bar today.

Tyson is a classic case of Power corruption. Unfortunately God was kind enough to give him all the Toffler’s power of which he could handle none.

Of my numerous blunders in the past 30 years, my recent one was to oversee and misjudge what money can do to someone which has made me suffer to a considerable extent. Will talk about it whenever I can….soon enough.
