Identifying with memories,
Emotions and perceptions
Take myself away from Being
Millenia to express myself in Thought
So I can have some fun
Thoughts should've been better
Allies than exploding stars

Revive history in school
If schools could teach local history, They can use students to revive that part of their city. This will help the whole community look at places differently. And kids growing up will have a greater sense of civic duty and ownership.

France’s Jews Have No Choice but Israel - NYTimes.com
France's Jews Have No Choice but Israel http://nyti.ms/1zhzdDf
Why is this even a choice for the jews in France. Dont they consider France their land. If they did shouldnt they bear the onus of "Frenchifying" everyone including their own community. Netanyahu is just being a rabble rouser here. This is like Modi inviting the hindus in bangladesh to come to india. I hope people understand that connection to the soil on which you are born and raised is as valid a need as freedom of religion.

The Cathedral of Computation - The Atlantic
While viewing the world as a collection of interlinked algorithms helps understand the big picture, there is a risk in a elevating that picture as the complete and absolute truth. There are are lot of corner cases and gotchas in these caricatures that need to be filled in for these plans to play out right.

loved PK because
- happy to see indian films get mature. The promos before the movie promise of an interesting 2015.
- The story is so simple - one person wants to go back home and sees this new crazy place that he has to survive until he finds a way back.
- I love the use of Bhojpuri - brilliant !! Relatable to the North Indian audiences and funny for the city dwellers.
- I loved the idea that they were trying to tell a story where Anushka's character is trying to tell a story. Fun little Russian doll type story telling.
- The approach to the topic of blind faith in india as an outsider was done by this funny alien. A complete outsider passing comments on us in a funny way really gets people thinking.
- Beautifully touches on how Indian parents can completely get off course in their "love" for their children. The father who takes pride in a child's creativity, feels shame when she uses the same tools to examine his own beliefs.
- The face off between the guru and PK actually dealt with the classic irrational argument that people make about "what is the harm if god gives people hope". He turns around to agree that god does give hope but not by blind faith. "which god should I follow"
