Across ages, I think the most wise,
inspiring & motivational piece of talk has circled around ‘changing the
world’. This blog competition too joins the clan. It’s amazing to note how our
own unsatisfied urge to achieve something desirable turns into the agenda of
the world, & changes the world’s dynamics every time. It’s interesting to
see how the wants of a few powerful people in every era, have given distinct
personas to the universal. And it’s stranger to note, that it was always ‘the
privileged’ who were given the lens to see the world their way. Inventors,
scientists, warriors, kings, musicians, mathematicians, prophets & sons of
gods. These are the gentries & class of people who’ve made their own
impressive marks on the earth’s blackboard. But then, were they wanted by an
individual, or needed by all? Didn’t we rush-up into changing the world each
time & left out a hell lot of people on the way, gasping to catch up?
Change is essential. It’s nature. But, it’s needed when you have everyone at
the starting point. Or else, there will be many left stranded who’ll need
miracles to reclaim their race.
What I mean is, that the world is a
beautiful place. Man, with his progress & evolution has made it even more
fantastic. There’s nothing terribly err-y in what we’ve made out of what we
got. But, what’s wrong is that every one of us ain’t enjoying these fruits of
the forward march. Today, we live in a world of contrasts. Constants so stark,
they pinch eye-balls. So at one end, you have people who will not live a day without
their WiFi. And then, there are many more who cannot live one more day coz
they’re starving for weeks, lying in one corner under a broken shade; in hope
for a more fulfilled life. If at all, there should be someone commenting on how
to change the world, it’s these people who haven’t been given a chance.
Ironically, these people strongly
believe that after this test of time; they’ll be sent to Heaven where food will
be abundant. Rivers flowing with milk & honey will be all around. The best
of fruits & vegetation will be in abundance. There’ll be luxury of space.
Everyone will look & smell good. And everyone will be happy. While we don’t
care s#!t coz WiFis were never promised up there.
So according to me, there’s just one
big thing that should be brought in to this world. And it’s the ‘Democracy of
Existence’ or the ‘Democracy of Evolution’.
“Change is not always about giving rise to the new.
Sometimes,
it’s all about giving someone his due."

While my point of view may differ, the effort that events like India Today Conclave and partners like Blogadda seems to work towards is atleast make the effort of seeding in thoughts and triggers that may actually bring about an effort towards the Democracy of Existence.
