Hello Readers!! This is my 3rd post in
3rd week and I think I'll be able to blog once a week with a Diary Logs post. And
that makes me really happy! The idea for this article came to me after I wrote
my last article. I just had this feeling that if everyone is going to read what
I write, then it's my job to make it good! So, here we go!
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Dear Diary,
Be
it a movie, book, technology, painting, song. It takes time & effort to
reach to that optimal stage where you have set your targets. Somehow, you know
it will be vital because people are going to watch that movie, read that book,
use that technology, listen to that music & probably find existential
purpose in that painting! Some people live by one quote their entire life.
Others have their go-to place in case when messed up life strikes. And that's
either an isolated park or some crowded coffee place. For a few, they believe
so much in some movie, that it makes them want to believe in fate! So yes, I
believe that when world is going to watch what you have made, I think the sense
of responsibility strikes way high up!
I
remember when I read & watched 'The Circle'. They have shown how important
being transparent is in this world. So, when the protagonist steals/borrows a
kayak without asking, it is later on shown how she wouldn't have done it if
someone was watching. So, they provide her a 24*7 camera thingy to ensure full
transparency. So, I think maybe she had to think twice before doing something
or even saying something. Thank God, they didn't have chips implanted in her
brain to know what she's thinking as well! It's scary, isn't it?
So,
when I thought about it, I felt the same way. I felt like there are 100
different things that I won't do & on another hand, 100 different things
that I would start doing if I was being constantly monitored. Maybe I'd workout
more regularly. Maybe I'll put a pause before taking a quick nap at work. Maybe
I'll watch that 2nd plate of whatever I'm eating. More importantly, on a higher
level, I realised that if people are reading my blog, I must put out
something good every week. It shouldn't be something that I need to do only for
the sake of it. There needs to be more thought. There need to be more dimensions
to it. Because, what if someone comes across my blog and the first post they
see is something crap? Not done, right? So, yes, there's a lot of more
responsibility than I thought. And I'm trying here… to give the best. So, I'm
going to pretend that Modi or Obama are reading this & write something
worth reading. Worth those 5 minutes, I suppose.
Until next time,
