A popular song is blaring out of my television set, which I rarely watch nowadays. Ironical, since I work in the very same media, though not in the same content and context. Thankfully. I suppose that is what life has become – your body and mind bequeathed to a plethora of gadgets –propped up by the scientific guys – who create things which may not really be adding anything to the life of yours if you are trying to make it meaningful; but surely will sub you into a thought process that is transcendental in nature in that – you are no longer owner of your own mind. The irony of it all, at least if science had become an obsession one can understand, but from being of service to mankind and catering to the needs of people, science now creates new needs and necessities, which are finely marketed to make you feel deprived and live in a constant state of uncertainty – which finally gives rise to the need of more products and more pockets to fill – be it in the name of science or markets. And a greater need to find GOD arises out of it. Quite anti-climatic for those of us who think we are scientific and rational and believe all this talk of God as an unscientific bull-shit.
