How many of us have felt that sometimes suddenly, out of nowhere, without any logical reason, we get a glimpse of something, a thought vibration, a vision, AN IDEA which has power to change and shape our future ? There are many abstract ideas or visions that we had in our life that has resulted in some individually brilliant creation, some highly satisfactory but at that time highly weird choices. They arrive like flash and leave a mark visible only to those who have an eye for it.
Once upon a time, I was very much interested in the structure of brain and the mechanism of idea generation. However, I found out very early that I didn’t have adequate basics to understand it fully. However, ideas always fascinated me. I remember right from my childhood, scientists were my heroes. After all, it is they who play with ideas and take great pains to implement it for the betterment of society. I used to write in my diary that one day I want to become a scientist, not a just a scientist but a good scientist who can solve some of the problems of society. Later on I realized that science is not the only way to help society. For example, I would call Mahatma Gandhi a spiritual scientist who did many experiments with Truth to arrive at spiritually advanced state. He was also a social scientist who tried to reform social strata of India for the improvement of society.
I have had my share of ideas or visions or creative bouts even at the privy room (and I bet many of you also had so!). One such vision told me that Medicine branch would not be suitable for me. And I decided to join computer science after my 12th. Another such creative bout gave me best possible expression to my feelings towards my soul-mate. I used to keep one small diary and a pen with me, mostly to catch any fleeting idea or prose. I must admit, during that time, there were mostly poems and prose and very few ideas which were scribbled on it.
During my professional life, I had got chance to visit one another country which in comparison to India, is very less populated and is highly advanced. I found some of the ideas to improve our day-to-day life can be incorporated here also. Even here in India, whenever we face any Government Issue or municipality problem, we tend to criticize them and throw our solutions. However, we hardly ever try to see if it can actually be implemented as effective solution or not. And if it can be implemented, is there any role that we can play to make sure the idea reaches to the right person in authority who can do something about it.
An idea without implementation is just like a sword without edge. Idea is like a sprouting seed. Like a seed, which comes out of soil defying the laws of gravitation, always has a tree inside itself, an idea also has immense potential inside it to change the world. I have been thinking about compiling few ideas that has knocked my head and try to give some solutions of existing problems. However small or diversified or abstract or weird it might look, it can motivate someone to take it seriously and take it to another level.
Each one of us has gone through diverse situations in life. We have different belief system, thinking pattern and our way of perception. We all basically work at certain base frequency and are good to attune to catch ideas on that frequency. To cut the long story short, we all can contribute here. As with other things, I do believe that good ideas should be shared just like we share our joy. I therefore invite all of you to share your ideas in this forum and your views about those ideas shared by others. Let the topic does not bound you. The idea can be as trivial as inventing pen for space or as large as the changes required in education system.
Let the force be with us. Let the flow begin…
