Imagining 1World

Racism has always been a plague wherever there is difference in skin colour, language, and culture. For centuries, it has been the convenient excuse for mutual hatred, discrimination, and even worse - ethnic cleansing.

In the 21st century, it is high time that all of this should change. People have started to talk about globalisation, an unprecedented level of integration across political boundaries. We are trading with one another. We are working with one another. We are communicating with one another.

Thanks to the Internet, we are also getting better at understanding one another.

Living and Blogging

It is said that blogging is non other than a mechanism for people to give a pat on their ego. Therefore; the natural conclusion would thus be that blogging is a yet another sinful indulgence. Apart from chocolate, ice-cream, or perhaps KFC. Too much ego can never be good or so, as they said.

But let's take a look at the issue from a different perspective. Blogging is in fact, writing. Sounds familiar? Writing, be it published or not, helps the mind to structure itself better. Writing helps us to become better at thinking.

Writing is however, a territory feared by many.

People fear that they might make mistakes. And publicly, at that. Well, fear cripples.

It is time for horizons to be expanded and comfort zone transcended.
