Life is neither fair ... nor unfair .....

Is Life Fair : Vaidyanathan makes me speak / LbnRaj

The way I am beginning to respond to the ideas of Vaidyanathan may seem funny, but the issue of getting a question to answer haunts me often.  Many a time we have lots of answers … but hardly get to face questions.  May be, questions are always there, as are the answers for all of us.  As most of you may agree I search for questions for which I seem to think I have answers.  The other way round, I seem to have many questions, I don't know whom to ask, where to ask and how to ask.  I think most of all of our lives in a day revolves around this dilemma.  Am I making any sense?

Now back to Speaking Tree, frankly speaking I subscribe to Times of India for reading Speaking Tree and Sacred Space of the Centre page of TOI … and then glance through other pages as and when I feel like.  Now , when I introspect myself …. I look forward for the best answers for the most difficult questions on existence from the  best of the thinkers / scholars.  At the same time I constantly think that I have lot of answers for these typical unthinkable questions.  May be I unconsciously look forward to see others  and read others who think alike and write alike.  May be others write before I pen.  At times I feel amazed at myself how close I am to best of scholars and their thinking.  This is human nature … we only understand what we know…. We can only appreciate what we like and know.  A thing, thought or feeling that is talked about deliberated by best of scholars however easy or tough it is, cannot go into heads if we don't know about it / that.  What I want to say is , every one of us know every ting … we only revisit our thinking when others speak, say, or lecture.  Hoe I make sense in what I am trying to say.  The thing that we cannot identify is neither meaningful nor meaningless.  We like sweet …. Because we know the taste of sweet before we had it for the first in our life.  Every thing is already known to every one by birth.

Now the question of Vaidyanathan, "Is life Fair or Unfair"…. This haunts every one so often … may be one does not stop seriously to give a thought to ones state of mind later on, on that moment.  Yes life is not perfect, I say this knowing what this perfectness means.  As a child as a high school boy I cam across my friends, classmates …. Copying in the examinations … I used to pity, them as I could not convince them.  More disappointing was that their parents, brothers, sisters used to be so organized to assist the boy / girl in copying.  Now when years passed by , the same boy or the girl gets admitted to best of professional courses / get best of jobs … I felt dejected, I was left confused.  Now again often some years I find the same boy / girl in the VIP positions (Sound both by wealth and qualifications and even knowledge) and lecturing on morals and on how bad it is to copy in the examinations.  May be they have forgotten what they did … may be they are more practical … may be they have repented … may be nothing of this sort…. AND MAY BE THIS IS THE NATURE'S WAY.  May be life is not Fair.  Vaidyanathan's  concluding words are eye openers …. "While life may seem unfair, if things changed as per every individual's desires and wishes, imagine the chaos and confusion that would result.  In a matter of few days, the world would come to the end.  The apparent unfairness that we see is indeed for continuity.

Yes, life is neither fair nor unfair, life is neither perfect nor imperfect.  Life is what it exists like.  Life exists without our consent … the way it is … and more real could be that life exists and continues in tune with laws of nature!  Search for questions for which you have answers … it is amazing … it is worth your time spent on it! Wonder! You will know that you have lots and lots of answers … if you know how to come closer to questions, …. Have an open mind …. Introspect …. Meditate … you will find a treasure of questions and answers within yourself !!!!!

The thought that moves me today, Librarians discover your work…!!!!!

The thought that moves me today, Librarians discover your work…!!!!! February 4, 2011 "Your work is to discover your work and then with all your heart to give yourself to it." – Gautama Buddha. Only the enlightened could think of giving such eternal statements. The first and fore most thing in life is to discover our work and then give ourselves to it. What a thought! We may get some times wondered at what really is the message in this. There is a whole lot of science and art for discovering … choosing …. selecting our work…. the process never ends if you really understand the deeper meanings of the message…. what  in your job is your job. The way you do, the way feel, the way you start, the method you choose the way you finish … all is  all about discovering our work. Then we should graduate to give ourselves to work with our heart. Then the work  becomes worship and job becomes profession and passion. Librarian friends, we are librarians, we do all things that librarians are supposed to do. Are all librarians doing the works in the same way., in the same tempo. Lib friends .. we have to find our work within our work …. That means we need to get to the core of our work … put our heart and soul in what we chose to do. This is the only we we can pave way for turning our vocation and occupation into a passion and profession.

Librarian towards ASSISTED SERVICES.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Librarian towards “Assisted Services”

It is a novel and recent service being slowly making its inroads into our urban life.  According to Divya, the assisted service concept is in the west for quite some time .  I think it is a great and out of the box idea.  People in general today are too busy in their jobs/business and family life.  They find it difficult to invest more time and energy in organizing some of their activities like shopping , programmes etc.  The office goers are hard pressed for leaves / breaks.  This  facility known as assisted service really is timely and works well .  Changes I hope will get rationalized slowly.  I dont remember correctly it was in Times of India some ago, some one wrote on the concept of “Personal Assistant”.  The content was almost same like that of this by Divya. Coming to the knowledge and information side this “Assisted  Service” works wonders.  “Personal Assistant” conceived in this way can never be replaced fully by Elders, parents, teachers or friends.  The day Librarians realise this  and come out darlingly to assume such out of the box role, will indeed be a day of celebration.  Though not explicit every student, scholar, teacher , businessman looks out for some one who is accessible who could assist in organizing this personal information / knowledge requirements.  Information/ knowledge workers and librarians are attached to their organizations and institutions.  No one is available  for catering to this unpronounced / implicit requirement.  Yes this could be a very right time to locate a librarian as your personal assistant.  Yet this could be a very right time a for a librarian to think out of the box to assume a more aggressive and socially visible role as a knowledge / information assistant on call.  Librarians! Cheers.  New opportunity and challenge waits for you! Grab it before others do it on your behalf! A personal Librarian! Wow!

All about the budge word "Knowledge"

It is not uncommon these days to hear terms like knowledge society, knowledge economy, knowledge management, knowledge engineering and so on., every where in social networks , media and local day today gossips Information and knowledege and their generation, storage and retrieval and communication is a pre-requisite of human life nd its existence, since time immememorial.  Some times in the loud noise of the pronouncements of the concept and term so very often one seems to be easily mislead.  One may erroneously think and feel that the so called information/knowledgfe had no role in the shaping human society and its business and activities.  One should sooner or later come out of such fobia.  Knowledge has mattered the society,  may be much intensely thean today, in the past.  The difference could be  only in terms of ease, speed and convinience of handling it some time back we were very clear about the meaning of infomation and knowledge.  It is grossly unfortunate now that knowledge is brought to the level of data and information.l.. May be we will pay heavily on this error later.  Much of information and its processing now is computable and progammable.  May be we need to restrict ourselves at this level.  I still find it hard to digest our computing abilities when it comes to knowledge and wisdom.  This is not to undermine the importance of developments with regard to artificial intelligence and robotics.  May be the concept could have become a handy tool in the hands of modern busines sicience, may be our businesses have graduated to their second levels.  But some where some how we need to progress towards a distinction between statisticsw, data, numbers , information, knowledge and wisdom.  Let us continue to progress towar4ds arrriving at new break throughs, inventions and innovations without meddling with age old established terminologies for drawing new lines/ bench marks for business excellence.

"Inception and the Subconscious"

The write up by Jui Pagedar in Times of India (Speaking Tree - 06-09-2010) titled "Inception and the Subconscious" and is educative and seductive for all those who evince interest in what appears to be more illusionist and imaginary. Yes it is human tendency to believe only those things which one can see, feel and sense easily. But the fact remains ... that we have worlds connected to us in more intimate ways than we think. Yes these other worlds are as real or more real than the lives we have believed and seen. Hats off to Jui Pagedar and Scholars alike for contributing to Speaking Tree. Best wishes.
