X-macs

I'm an Xmacs now.Its a really contended feeling when i step out of the shoes of the MACS chairman i wore for the past year.It was an eventful year , in fact founding years have to be eventful. I discovered a few good friends , whom i believe will remain thus, many whom i would not have known had i not come into MACS. It did teach me the importance of initiative and persistence, virtues that had been lacking me , but did surface in times of need and still remains.

I had been writing too many good byes - so things i say now look stale to me.One of the great wonders was that it did work , i did have fear that i would'nt be worth them. One thing that i may take pride is in the website , to the extent that i sometimes check to see if it still looks the same.

To leave the group was a great difficulty, i persisted (a quality i learnt here ) though i had managed to gracefully withdraw my collegues.The maxim "Leave when U are at the peak " seemed to have its influence ad i withdrew yesterday. I had tested it out once and found that it works fine , it really saves u and ur successor from a lot of legacy.

It gives more pleasure hand over reigns to people whom u can trust to take it to greater heights.

Energy of the future

Human beings have been energy-maniacs since they discovered fire.They have since used it for all sort of purposes from the holy to the satanical , to create as well as destroy and to enlighten as well as incinerate. It seems the circle of fire has come a full circle - the times when earth was terrorised by the humans' control over energy to the growing fear of 'oil'. This can be seen by the steady increase in the prices of the staple food of the economy.

The human world and the economic order so painfully created by the industrial revolution is sustained by burning thousand of tons of oil and gas per minute depleting resources and polluting the air we breathe.This state of affairs cannot continue for long , too much depens on it to be left to the whims of a few drops of black-gold.

The energy crisis enveloping the world is caused by the geographical concentration and separation of world reserves, this causes it to be subject to political fallouts from very explosive regions and shipping constraints.We must therefore go ahead in tapping energy sources closer to the regions of demand.
Of all alternatives to oil - electricity produced by hydel and nuclear means is the cleanest. Hydel power when designed with sensitivity can alleviate ecological concerns ,so is nuclear power whose ill-effects are much too exagerated.

Bio-fuels have strong contenders for replacing pertol and diesel and have undergone tests succesfully in many countries. Drinking Cars with ethanol drives are round the corner and bio-diesel for trucks.The biggest advantage to this alternative is that it requires minimal changes to the present machinary and moreover the pollution problem is significantly reduced by the use of atmospheric CO2 by the plants used in bio-fuel manufacture. The actual energy being derived from the sun a perernial source by the good old photosynthsis procedure, the carbon being just a carrier. This being in contrast to the current situation when the carbon of old forests are being burnt to change atmospheric CO2 levels and the resultant climate change.

Say no to smoking , yes to drinking for ur car - use green fuels.

Whats the better way to start writing a blog than with thoughts on the Almighty. The concept of God seems to be unique to humans , animals seldom exibit comparable behaviour. Is this due to some highly peculiar way in which the human brain is constructed or more in the way that it understands or tries to understand the world around it.

Its my belief that such a concept has evolved out of the system of reasoning that is followed or can be followed by mortal humans.Its mostly got to do with the phenomenon of understanding which always seems to require a something understood before a new understanding can be made. This certainly places it in a very awkward position. The very first understanding! This can be called a belief. All understanding stems from there. It can be as simple as a cause for everything you notice , trivial things as 1+1=2 to things as the physical laws that govern the universe. All of our reasoning is derived from assumptions , even mathematics and physics.The sum total of all our assumptions is what i may believe as the phenomenon of God. As everyone has a unique set of assumtions it may be supposed that everyone has their own God.Our own God whose manifest forms are attributes that we chose for ourselves for our satisfaction and therefore of our God's.

This is the first post on this blog, i would like to tell u that this is not my first blog . I had another at http://seaofthoughts.rediffblogs.com which sadly was left unattended to for quite sometime. I decided that a change may inspire me to maintain this better . I would like to tell u that the contents of this blog may bear a good resembleance to a junkyard. A junkyard of ideas - discarded things , but u never know whether soembody will resurrect them and get them to heights not even dreamed by the author. I would also like to hold out many of my half baked opinions on the things and the world around me.

All the prologue
Wait for the first post.
