Everything is “कच्चा” and “cheap” these days. Lol!
The idea of progress in my head is continuously changing; with time and exposure, I see different analogies and different imageries. I have started believing in the act of “doing” – someone, somewhere DID something, which is why we are ‘progressing’. Progress is not an inevitability; it is not a necessity, but action on an idea. Someone spoke up; someone stirred. People around were uncomfortable and dislodged- they protested. But even then, ideas survived. “Necessity is the mother of all invention”, they say- was linux necessary in the 15th century? No. Progress is a trap- it makes you need more and more- it is addictive. “Improvisation” is the word; and to me, it is a branch of ‘change’. We are in continuous motion; and we will always be. And on the way, we need those who think, act and “do” - even though they’re weirdos.
It is time to buy the Vims, the scotch brites, the surf excels, the harpics, the eggs, the onions and the tomatoes. Maybe a broom, too. :)
“Of all the experiences in the world, travel is undoubtedly one of the most life-altering. It enriches, fulfills, indulges, opens your heart to other worlds and experiences and fosters co-existence in an increasingly intolerant world. But perhaps the most profound and tangible impact it has is on our inner selves." The world is conspiring to answer my questions; but no, this is not good enough.
