The power of One

Recently we had Mr. Abhijit Dutt as our professor for social communications and he did an age old exercise.

He asked us to go and meet a person in the lobby who can change the world. I was too excited to meet this person, who could it be ?
Some thoughts came to me were - beggar ? Politician ? a common man ? teacher ?

Finally he asked me to go to the lobby and there I found this person named Shashi.
Yes, there was no one but a mirror to show my own face as the one who can change the world.

I knew this exercise through some forward email threads I received years back but here I was actually doing it.

Later he stressed on "The power of ONE". How can even a single person change the world forever.
Many have done it, why can't I ?

At first, I laughed at myself, and monologued "Abe tu karega duniya change? " Chup chap beth ja !!

But then I started thinking, why not ?
Who is stopping me except my own belief that I can not.

Well, I think there is immense power in ONE !!!
But the point is , its not about just thinking but living it, doing it.

A solution to Terrorism ?

I've lived in Hyderabad, Mumbai and Ahmedabad. I loved all these cities and all of these have been recently under terror attacks.

I wonder every time I hear a person is killed by a terrorist attack, what is the solution to Terrorism ?

better technology ? No - it is always vulnerable because terrorist can also be a tech savvy.

more security ? - expensive and inefficient solution, can be suffocating for locals.

A compromise with terrorist ? - Something out of question looking at current scenario.

Then what ?

I think - the root to terrorism is 99 % religion and 1% land.

Land issues can be diplomatically handled.

The one that needs to be really taken care is religion conflicts.
The only answer to terrorism is just stop taking care of religion.

Let us create a no-religion world. We do not follow any religion.
We shun everything. Hard to do. Very hard infact, but then we need to ask ourselves what is religion and what good has it done to us.

Did any god create religion ? no.
relgions crops after the gods or prophets are gone.
It is man made.

Let us destroy it. Religion has given us nothing but differences and wars.

Imagine, will a terrorist group attack a country where nobody knows what is their religion ?

I doubt.

There will be disolution of terrorism with disolution of religion.

"What about good things in our relgion ? "
First of all, there are only few good things and these can be rather become part of study of sociology or science, where we question the beliefs and theories of religion to arrive at most logical conclusion.

It sounds tough, but I think religion needs to disappear from earth otherwise soon we human might.
