Space for your dreams!
So many flowers bloom, yet most wither away unseen.
So do ideas. They blossom, yet most die unheard.
This is true in my case. I cannot switch off my mind. Ideas always pop up from nowhere. Some, in my opinion, are gems!
How often do we sit down for a drink, a meal, and the inevitable chat session that follows? Yes, we all remember! How often do we depart with sour feelings spoiling the otherwise delicious meal, the charming company, blaming ourselves: if not for that stupid argument, with our partners pouring scorn on us?
Why did we argue? Yes, I could not agree with them. How can I? I know the subject. I knew most about the subject than anybody else who were there. How dare that idiot challenge what I said? Bunch of idiots, that is what they were. Waste of time. I will never…
So it goes.
Is this our nature, to over-inflate our worth, and rough-ride all other points of view?
I still remember this gem of a saying, which I came across years ago: Behind every argument is someone's ignorance. Yes, it has to be someone else's, of course!
Why get into arguments? Why not let people say what they like? Tolerate differing ideas, opinions, facts, views?
Internet offers an excellent way of saying what you like without endangering yourself physically and socially. If one doesn't like what one reads, one can always close the window!
This is my main motivation for creating this site. I want to shout my ideas to the world, and
Share them, I thought. Shout out to the world. But, my shouts carry no further than the living room. I make it sure they do not disturb the neighbours. Now we have this wonderful tool for communication, called the Internet, my chance to shout to the world without audibly disturbing anyone, has arrived.
Hopefully, my shouts, would be heard by someone out there, who would not shut the window at the first glance!
Getting even more optimistic, some of my "other views" could trigger, in somebody cleverer, something better, which might help transform something, somewhere, in someone's life.
So, I decided to apply my energies and time, now that I am retired, to offer a forum for publishing and exchanging ideas on whatever topic one may wish to discuss.
I have presented a skeleton of my pet topics. That can, of course, grow - with your help.
Feel free to express and comment and criticise.
Your ideas, comments, criticisms can be published here. You may stay anonymous, if you wish.
SITE LOGO IS THE OWL. OWL REPRESENTS WISDOM.

Comment, Analyse, Challenge, Criticise, Question and Write!!
The other view can be a controversial view. No one is expected to agree with the views of others. It is a bonus if we can.
Release them to the world, rather than keep them bottled up.
Humans have risen from the animal world. Growls and fights are the only vehicles for exchanging views in that world.
Let us cherish and put to use the unique communication skills of ours.
Conformity is in the domain of sheep!
This is freedom of speech!
I am also going to present a few pages of what else I do, other than daydreaming.
Feel free to browse. Hope you will enjoy!
