Friend or Foe?

Once, there was a time when people of one hemisphere had no clue of the existence of people in another hemisphere. Travelers roamed in lands without boundaries and served their stories of voyage without any censorship and sponsorship. Gun powder which was accidentally invented at one place and was unfortunately given better shape by people who were miles away from the place of inception.

Agriculture almost flourished in the same way, especially potatoes and sugarcane. What was told at one place was almost correct in its essence at the other place (irrespective of its geographical location). Such strong is the power of words. 

When the number system made its way to the global trade and communication this exchange of information flourished in such an amazing way that now hundreds of channels blaze through our daily lives and scream and vomit information on our face. And when this whole world is connected like a spider web, now, it has become difficult to ascertain the truthfulness of information which has traveled through this digital space. It can be verified, but it takes time. It can also be perfected for its humane  use but before that it gets propagated in all the directions.

Incidence occurs beyond the boundaries of a nation but has repel effect inside the boundaries of nation on fragile human trust. Society which once provided for the need for the others, ends up being mere serving sample size. Community with in a community, statistics divide people in fragments and then these fragments are served with the information so that they can be contained and limited to their sample size only.


Information providers laugh. Carrots keep swinging, Monarchs become democrats, and democracy  gets labeled according to the need of establishment by feeding information providers.

So what to do during this phenomenal exchange of information?

Keep Calm and Stay Alive!
