Our Eternal Questions: 1

Our Eternal Questions: 1

How did our Universe, of distances beyond our minds to imagine, begin?
Or was it always there?
Who created it?
How did the Creator happen?
Or has the universe come from nowhere? From nothing?
I'll discuss theoretical physicist Lawrence M. Krauss's intriguing book A Universe From Nothing later in this series.

Having Witnessed History in the Making

Having Witnessed History in the Making

From childhood I have witnessed events of history in the making, World War II. Air-raid sirens and search-lights scouring the sky. Lights were switched off as we drew black curtains across windows. I remember peeping out, watching WACs and men of the air raid patrol wearing ARP armbands going around, ensuring shops were shuttered and people went off streets. On VE Day (Victory in Europe) I watched British soldiers dancing and celebrating outside the Dadar Bar in old Bombay.
The warship S.S.Fort Stikine, with gun-powder and gold in its hold, exploded in Bombay harbour and gold bars hurtled into some people's homes, while the whole dock-side burned.
Then came the delirium of India's Independence Day. Nehru's emotional 'midnight hour' speech and crowds celebrating on the streets, particularly around the Gateway of India.
Later I witnessed more events of history unfold, the successes and failures of the country in freedom.
Having captured some of that history in my novel Dreams of One Country, I am working on a novel that captures more of the later history of the country...and the world.

A World Divided - 9: If, in a Country...

A World Divided - 9: If, in a Country...

If, in a country, children are afraid to go to school, the people must wake up and take the corrective steps needed...to progress as an enlightened nation.
If, in a country, narrow-minded, self-centered individuals lacking in core ideals promote divisiveness for their immediate gains, thus provoking other narrow-minded individuals, the people must unite to save their country from the short-sighted heartless dividers.
If, in a country, elections are used to discriminate against sections of people, only the united public response can ensure the country can rise as a truly modernized developed nation.

A World Divided - 8: Values Under Siege!

A World Divided - 8: Values Under Siege!

Earlier, it seemed that lying, cheating and bribery were every day events, even in elections, only in countries still in the process of developing and modernizing. Today civilized values - including truth, honesty, caring for others - are under siege even in countries believed to be modern and progressive.
Self-centered individuals in key positions think only of their immediate short-term benefits. They do not bother about the consequences...to others or the future of their country.
To build a truly modern developed nation is not easy: it takes generations of dedicated effort. So also, hopefully, a modern developed nation's in-built corrective systems will prevent retrogressive steps by anyone.

A World Divided - 7: Highway to the Future!

A World Divided - 7: Highway to the Future!

In spite of incredible advances in technology, science, our knowledge of the world and universe, there are some whose mindsets remain unchanged - who are inclined to pettiness, malice, superstition and a discriminatory, divisive attitude. Divisive acts can bring others who are ignorant and mean out of the woodwork. So it goes. Today's world seems to be competing in the clowning glory of pettiness!   
Still, in truly refined developed countries people are united despite differences - like a united family. Wise and fair laws safeguard their future as nations that care for and protect all citizens - even if any self-centered individuals for their own immediate benefit recite mean fairy-tales to divide the people!
For every aspiring country those developed nations light the highway to the future, the way to elite modernization. Resorting to superstition and malice to divide and target sections of the people will surely hold back any country from rising and joining the best developed, modernized nations.
