Instruction and Innovation.

Instruction, given text and formulae, and adhering to already proven principles and theories forms the foundation of the classical model - of business, story-telling, or life in general. Innovation holds the key to realizing the true potential of the classical, and in essence all other models, neo or alternative(s).

It is the subliminal blend of Instruction and Innovation that builds a successful enterprise, for instruction without innovation is self-contained precept or an archaic notion and innovation sans instruction tends to become a mere exercise in speculation.

The real question and in truth, the answer to all questions, maybe even the Ultimate One is Purpose. It is my belief that Purpose defines, rather determines the right blend and situational need of Instruction and Innovation.

And Spunk.
Of which I shall write about some other day.

If it did not make sense, it wasn't written for you.
So don't bother trying.

The Age of Coffee

June 10th, 3008

The Guy had coffee on June 10th, 3008.
A most significant day in the life of a certain Guy, living with his parents (The Mom and The Dad), in a certain city (The City), in the Eastern part of a certain country (The Country). His name- you dont need to know. We'll probably just refer to him as The Guy (TG). He works in a factory, churning out Goods he doesn't care about. The Goods dont care about him either. They just care about Coffee. So does he. He had a life once. It started in the early hours of each morning and went on till the wee hours of the night. It was the Coffee that was his life-blood. And it was Coffee that spelt his doom. It spelt 'DOOM'. (You'd say English Coffee is too good at spelling bee's. Interestingly they are not sure of the letter B. Stupid Coffee.)

Anywho, the point is that he was happy, having coffee, and dancing. He was a dancer. He'd dance for love, for passion, for Intelligent Coffee, for joy, for no reason at all, for life itself (which at times seems to have no reason anyways). Dancing was living. Living was for dancing (and the quest for Intelligent Coffee). The moment he'd hit the floor- any floor was a dance floor- he'd go into his secret world of romance and adventure. Every time it was a fresh one, a new path, a journey of thousand Directions to choose from, each with its own distinct flavour (Directions is a brand of i-screams). Every moment spent- not dancing- seemed like a crime to him. A crime without passion, or heart. A crime without reason, a crime without soul. He'd do all he could to dance , and dance for all he could. Coffee gave him strength, and dancing gave him paper tickets to buy Coffee. (Paper tickets was the more useful currency in The City, more popular than what The Bank used to give- Money. Money was a laughed-at good. He did not like it though- laughed-at I mean) It was perfect (Perfect: A state of Chaos, that seems logical, thus acceptable). Then came the dragons. And things were not perfect anymore (Not perfect- A state of Chaos, that does not seem logical, hence, not acceptable).

The dragons were half breeds- born out of the The Man, The Squirrel, The Horse and The Seagull. Ok, I'm just kidding. The dragons were a cross-breed of Chinese, and Mexican sea-birds. They were couriers, before the Golden Era of The DHL. They'd fly from one pole to the other in less than a day and still have time for coffee. You see, the world was in a state of Perfect Chaos, after the Declaration of the Four Nations- The East, The West, The North, & The South. In order to restore a state of Acceptable Chaos, The Leaders of the Four Nations decided to breed Dragons. The dragons were like Television- only better, as they themselves had Tele-Vision. They could look into the future as well as the past. They could climb the clouds and escalators. And make Man's dreams come true. The only problem was they needed a lot of Coffee. And that was a big problem. Coffee as it turned out, gave Man the power of speech, dance, and love (and gas), gave the Goods the power of Labor (and gas), and it gave the Dragons the power of vision, and flight (and gas). Coffee is what would bring in the Next Age- The Age of Coffee.

The question was Who would rule The Age of Coffee? Man, Dragons, or Goods? Or maybe just The Guy, Our Guy......

To be or not to be continued... That may or may not be the question. Point is I cant go on anymore, right now.

No compromise

No compromise
No fear
Today and again tomorrow...
A day for freedom
A day for living
A day for the lost ones
A day for the found
A day for victory laps
A day for looking back
No. Look forward, no matter what
Who, or why. Don't look back.
Try to save the ones you can.
Leave the rest.
No. Leave no one behind.

Whoever thou art.
I love you. Care for you.
I wont let you fall.
Angels in the darkness.
Shine brighter than in the sky.
Brilliant light embraces us all.
And reminds us
Of our purpose.
Of humanity.
Of love.

Not an easy road.
Did I ever say it will be.
Not an easy day.
Night's still a long way.
No time to rest.
No time for self-pity.
Or guilt.
Or regret.
The only way is forward.
The only sign in 'Go'.

May we have the strength of lions.
Wisdom of kings.
Love of angels.
Fire in our eyes.
And hearts.
Fire in our soul burning bright.
Ever so bright, in the thine eyes.

Maybe you'll stumble.
Maybe you doubt.
Maybe you'll have a tear.
Drop from a mile high.
Even heroes have the right to bleed
Even heroes have the right to dream.
But heroes we are
And always will be.

None can stop us.
None can ring the bell of defeat.
If we are alert.
None can bring us down.
Unity is key.
Be constantly alert.
Dialogue is key.
But choose your words.
They can be double-edged swords.

I'm not so good with words.
I falter for lack of rhymes.
I cant sing.
For my voice is perpetually broken.
I cant talk right.
For words do not come to me.

I have the heart.
I have the purpose.
All that is left.
Is to act.
To do.
To win.
We do not,
Cannot compromise
Or fear.
Therein lies the path to salvation.
Are you with me?

Somethings in this world do not make sense...

So many things are not making sense. I turn on the tele.
Nowadays I hardly do. Its becoming more and more rotten. Sad.
Where have all the good channels gone....
Where have all the good shows gone.....
Turned to dust...
Lost and gone everyone....
Some just bad TRP....
I need to form a company soon.
I need to start a channel soon.//// indicating absurdly indefinite period of time. [Mental note: Soon is never soon enough. Work on that. Will do that soon.]
Anyways somethings just dont make sense. Are we becoming more and more absurd and dumb? When did we stop questioning? When did we become comfortable with and blissfully blind to reality- to injustice in society, to the pain of the homeless, to the freakiness of mindless violence, to the sorrow of hurting mothers, to kids working on the streets- day in/day out- for meager earnings, to the horrors of war, to our dying mother earth, n so many other things we outta DO somethin about... "It is senseless to blame others or your environment for your miseries. Change begins from the moment you muster the courage to act. When you change, the environment will change. The power to change the world is found nowhere but within our own life."
I dont mean a pessimistic life- I dont mean we talk about things like the weather n say how bad its become these day. I mean STOP TALKING. DO SOMETHING. Anything. Let's do one thing each day that will add some value/make happy at least one person each day- maybe a smlie. maybe a gift. maybe a hug. maybe a thank you... JUST BE CREATIVE ABOUT IT! ["Thank you is a miraculous expression. We feel good when we say it, and we feel good when we hear it. When we speak or hear the words thank you, the armor falls from our hearts and we communicate on the deepest level." Daisaku Ikeda] Lets jus deeply appreciate all around us- all that's beautiful, all that's good and give our every ounce of our being to protect it! I dont know who you are, but if you are reading this, I wish for your and your family's happiness!
Is doing something good n leading a life of value-creation such a tough thing. Well it is actually, but then hey, if we dont do it, who else will? Is it not common sense( I knw- most uncommon)...
Somethings in this world just do not make sense.... Let's just do something bout it. /:-D
