The media this week, once again sought to bring to our notice, the helplessness that human societies face, due to the ease and prevalence of an arms-culture in most parts of civilised society - I refer to the incident at the Empire State Building in Ney York.

Why has human ingenuity not yet mastered the art and science of detecting (in real-time) when anger and hatred cross some thresholds and converting these emotions to outcomes that contribute to our understanding of riddles and puzzles (say!) about our Universe.

What innovations have contributed to the sciences of human psychology and the art of interpreting human emotions (both in the context of individuals as well as communities)? I think I will need to read more on these subjects and improve my own understanding on the same. Any suggestions as to where I can begin?

Can a confused mind turn one into a poet? And will the extent of poetic excellence be a true reflection of the state of confusion in one’s mind? Well, check the following out to gauge how confused I am today!

Twinkle Twinkle binary stars

How I wonder if there are inter-stellar wars?

Widely dispersed lightyears away

Have you ever witnessed life as gay

As humans on Earth who (at the same time) fight and play

Calm and gentle avuncular moons

Have you seen so many goons

Ruder than comets that crashlanded on you

These humans, when will they ever learn, I rue!

Is there some trick of innovation that exists?

Somewhere in this universe, which one enlists

So all of mankind loses jealousy and hatred

And becomes Universally Progressive, instead!

Wishing you a great weekend.

What does one do when one has spent an entire day at a conference that is themed as Mobile Innovation Conference, attended by leading companies and entrepreneurs in the mobile space, and not two lines are spoken or presented about either the need to innovate, or the successes of innovation in this space, then you know that it is going to be a long battle for consumers of mobile services and products. Why do I find telecom operators, mobile content developers, content aggregators and regulatory agencies still debating about share of economic spoils, ownership of customers even after so many years of seeing good growth?

In fact the fact that there is very little innovative development of products and services that excite all genres of customers to pull them and use them, is a sad reflection of lopsided priorities by every player in this segment.

What are your views?

At 1230pm on the 5^th of August 2012,

I lazily stretch my imagination to explore if there can be more innovative ways by which

(a) parents, especially mothers, can be taught to stop worrying about their children who are well-past their teens,

(b) school teachers and administrative officials can be taught to encourage more participation by themselves and their students in community development projects,

(c) government bureaucrats can be taught that they can be both humane and successful at the same time, non-corrupt and efficient simultaneously, and

(d) businessmen can be taught that profit-making and philanthropy can both be exciting and satisfying propositions.

Well how can I become more innovative that my lazy thoughts lead to purposeful enterprises? Hmmm.....

Have a great weekend.
