Imagine Christ having insisted on copyright laws, for all the thoughts he shared with the ‘world’.

His world, then, would’ve been a very tiny one, with just a handful of legally bound, hi-profile blokes, subscribed to his gospel. And, he wouldn’t have been Christ after all.

So much for copyrights! There’re of course super solid reasons why these rights keep floatin’ around, ‘cos, there’re too many copy cats around. What do you do then?  No other go. Actually.

But, one powerful wave gets overpowered by a much mightier one.

Copyleft is slowly eclipsing copyright. Just google! The ‘cloud’ opens up, literally floodin’ us with all the info we seek. We’re given the key to the source code itself. And, told: Execute. Modify. Make your own copy.

Copyright? Where is copyright here? What does it mean, by the way?

The information explosion era we just entered, might never ever end. Infinity! That’s what we are lookin’ up at. In awe. God, in other words. We’re ‘seeing’ Him, right in our midst. Resurrected at last!

Rejoice. Christ is back, ‘virtually’! Down from the ‘cloud’.

Amen!

Respect time. Simple.

‘Cos, it’s one thing that doesn’t wait for us. Seconds go past us, forever. Minutes go past us, forever.

And, we’ve so many things to do at any point of time, either at home or at work. And, we end up not doing all the things, under the pretext time isn’t enough.

Keep an eye on the clock and try catching up with the planned work. Boy! It’s not easy, believe me. I mean, time makes me run, literally. If I could catch up with all that I’ve scheduled, I would’ve run at least 5km a day.

This is much better than going to a gym on an initial euphoria and letting the steam die after a while. I know guys who drag themselves to the gym. It doesn’t work. It doesn’t work for me at least.

I’m excited to watch the second’s needle ticking away, never to return to the previous slot. Therefore, I run to catch up. This works for me.
