We Speak of Darkness

We speak of darkness
as we speak of light
we speak of darkness
as if it arises
and radiates
like light,
forgetting
as cold is the mere
absence of warmth
dark is the mere
absence of light
and in creating
walls of prejudice
roofs of fear
windows of hate
doors of ignorance
we breed the idea
that darkness
has a protective glow
of its own
not realizing
it is merely feeding off
the maggots of our own
ego

All those men and women who are living through centuries for what they have achieved, did they knew the reason they are or were here or is ...

Whether in school, college, family gatherings or at work. People have always judged us and tagged us with either being, “creative or not creative”. Have you noticed in your personal life that some people are recognized and listened to more than others? Or have you been on the receiving end where in your friend or colleague is most sought a...

Communicaiton

Communication is derived from the Latin word Communicare (to share) Exchange of information between two entities is what we understand communication as. Everything that has existed, exists or will exist communicates. Our existence relies on communication. Where does communication start? It starts with in ourselves. Each of the cells in our body communicates at a very large and un-quantifiable level.  Communication has played the most vital role in cornicing us to what we are today. Noam Chomsky , a prominent proponent of discontinuity theory, argues that a single chance mutation occurred in one individual in the order of 100,000 years ago, instantaneously installing the language faculty (a component of the  mind-brain ) in "perfect" or "near-perfect" form. Thus helping us to evolve at a higher rate. Around 3000 BCE we were using cuneiforms (Capsule) as form of written communication which was a pictorial representation. Let’s look at a brief history of our ...
