Will the sovereignity of nation states be curtailed by multi national conglomerates  which draw unfair trade terms that overide the laws of the nation states? Will it be like the colonanization era which exploits the cheap raw resources and sells intermediatary goods and finished products and services at high profits to the dveloping nations? Will predatory globalization puts the control of  essential goods and services in the hands of a few big boys and wipe out the self suffiiency of small and medium scale enterprises so that it's not a level playing field?

when mountains beckons

Man cannot create the awe inspiring vistas of mountains,the rolling green plains,the pristine air ,the crystal clear rivers that Nature has crafted.Our concrete peaks and subterreanean subways are not uplifting to
 the soul as much as what Nature can inspire.

how to reduce accidents at emergency lanes

A problem was posed to see the creative problem solving skills of the youths and to brainstorm without passing judgement.


When cars break down on the emergency lanes of super highways with three lanes up and down.Sometimes,it's raining or foggy so cars which are speeding may hit the back of the stationary car,causing injuries to the passengers in the cars or the driver who is kneeling down to check the tyres.

Solution: top of cars has emergency laser throbbing strobe lights that can be fixed on top of car and connected to battery to warn oncoming cars like a lighthouse
Solution: redesign the emergency lanes with wider berths and crash zones of old tyres to lessen the impact
Solution: A special chemical like an emergency fire extinguisher which can be sprayed on the tarmac to make it sticky to slow down cars that try to cut into the emergency lanes,Such foams,gluey chemicals can be dissolved by spraying a solvent once repairs are done.
Solution: An emergency booth that the driver can activate to warn oncoming cars of a broken down vehicle every 5km.3km away
Solution; the driver can put on a suit that has flashing LED lights all over so that cars can see them in foggy weather.

Just Do It

I did it! I couldn't imagine how hard it was to push myself up 1,400 over steps and to gather the guts to get back up that ass of a bitchwhich had just thrown me off her back.One moment,I was silently straddling her back and the next I was flung up in the air and landed splat on the muddy ground which was luckily soft and slippery and cushioned the fall.I wanted to give up the trek uphill but no way,this was the fulfillment of a youthful dream ,the search for lost youth,the pursuit for that shangri la in the clouds starts with me climbing back from the pits of dirt and earth and once you've hit rock bottom in your life,there is no way out but up.

that stubborn as a mule snorted and refused to climb up until her handler reprimanded her.In a way,I pity the poor ass as my big ,fat ass pressing on her back must have made her uncomfortable.Real ass hole,it said to me.I might as well be grazing on the grass or frolicking with my mates instead of straining myself muscle,sinew and back pain too.

There is a deep aura of serenity to sit outside the very same cave where guru rinpoche meditated and contemplate on where the next stage of your journey will take you.the wind whistles in your ear,the waterfall gushes down the steep cliffs and the chilly breeze calms frayed nerves.I send my gratitude to all sentient beings for giving me the strength to persevere.My knee screams with each agonizing step,my breath is short  and panting as the lungs acclimatise to thinner air and my muscle pulls after that toss up in the air.But pain and suffering are teachers.Lesson learnt.

When you are aware that here is now
                                 that after was over
                              and what will come will come
                          not happiness to seek but upekka

Education as a tool of social mobility

Education has been one of the best tool of personal transformation and enabling the uplifting of those from abject poverty.Education for the not so developed country is an investment for the future but focus more on career training and not on meeting the propagandic needs of politics.When the basic needs of security,freedom from hunger and ill health are met,the citizens would show their loyalty to the state.So to throw around abstractions like freedom,truth,,plurality and happiness means nothing to the grassroot level when Maslow's most basic needs at the lowest level cannot be met .The conditions can be created for conducive business environment and job generation is job of the government with its macro economic policies that encourages investment by businesses.The stage for social instability is set when there are masses of educated youths and not enough jobs which can meet their qualifications.Such mismatch will see fodder for unrest.

After the half way point,where is the final destination?

When what previously sparked you is just a let down
When the bird has flown the nest
When you have lost that mojo
When you;re glad the joints dont creak
And you pick out what suspiciously looks like a strand of your own hair in the fried noodles
When your back doesnt throb like the throttle of a Porsche
And your idea of bliss is a nap  without the need for a silencer to tone down nasal acoustics
what the heck
before you start scanning the obituaries
looking for that final sanctuary
what the heck
You only die once
so eat,sleep, pray ,play,dance,dance,dance
do not go into the good night
rage,rage against the dying of the light
