The Highest Being

The birds and animals first scout for the ideal tree or ground to build a home for their little ones.

The man scouts for the best spot for his house.

They look for shaded spots, away from the eyes of the predator.

Tree by tree, plant by plant, he razes everything to ground to create a flat surface on earth.

Twig by twig, stem by stem, the birds and the animals create a cushioned bed for their young ones.

Brick by brick he raises the walls to make a concrete, hard structure.

They are inferior because they can only create from what they have.

He is the superior for he has the power to destroy and grab what is not his.

He is the highest  being on earth for he has the sixth sense that has blinded him and killed any compassion.

The Power Problem

One of the recent jokes on the SMS that I love: as the mobile, the net and something else compete as to who is going to rule the world, electricity thinks - Just you wait, guys.

Chennai reminds me of this everyday. Despite rains, power cuts - scheduled and unscheduled - everyday. NONE of the traffic signals work so total chaos on roads. Koothankulam plant - a big question mark...

Am I being too pessimistic when I say be ready for the "dark ages" again?
