slaves then, now & then again

I logged on to blog spot after couple of months & took some 5 minutes to reach to "new post", phew technology sure is changing our lives, for better or worse is I guess very debatable. 

Too many thoughts & all in chaos makes it impossible to pen or rather key in words on my blog but thanks to crazy bombay rains and nothing interesting on 200 channels on tv got me back to blogging.

Have been reading this fictional book on black slavery and that got me thinking , how have we as humans really progressed. From white skin to brown to black skin, slavery still has not changed much. But what has changed is we have stopped retaliating for change. We accept that the poor will be slave to rich, the fat will be scorned by the slim, the white skin will smirk at brown and pot shots will remain the favorite sport for humans, only venue changes, from real life it now resides also in cyber life.

But am in awe with the speed at which information travels off late, thanks to the viral social networks, now the speed of lightening too must be getting a complex :)

Its a bit more crazy how often things change so often and now we are forced to accept instantaneously adjusting to change as the constant, which unfortunately is gonna stay in the long haul. Earlier the breather period to accept change was a lot longer but now its either change or perish. 

The generations to come wont I guess know the meaning of relaxing means doing absolutely nothing :) 
Sounds a bit scary to me but maybe that too will have its fun quotient however many zeros will be there before the point !
