Aadhar Card & Evolution- An Observation On Complex Systems

A couple of days back I was at an Aadhar Card Centre to get my details updated. While I was waiting for my turn, I was just observing the surroundings and just about so, I went into the rabbit hole of thinking about how the Aadhar Card as an idea must have originated. It must have started with a purpose that every citizen of India must have a unique number through which the person is identified. Sounds simple, right? While the idea is simple at its core, when implemented at scale it becomes extremely complicated- a complex system, if you will. Let me go down the rabbit hole even further and I will do that by making a conjecture, the conjecture being, that any Primitive Idea when it is scaled at large becomes a very complex system. And moreover, the same pattern can be observed everywhere, right from the formation of cities from an evolutionary biological standpoint to the present-day human behavior in society and whatnot! Let me explain what I mean. To implement the idea of assigning

A personal note on That Antha Eli- A Kannada Short Film

When you are with your friends just about talking, while the conversation skipping from one dissociated topic to the next, have you ever observed that it's the most boring, daily life incident narrated by that one friend that gets the group hooked and NOT the most flamboyant piece of information that another friend had to say? What do you think? Good oratory skills you may say, but that's just a tiny part of the whole incident. Well, then, you may say it's the incident itself that made the narration so interesting, you may counter, but then it's a boring incident, no? Perhaps It's the culmination of both the ideas- the tool used for narration (oratory skills/screenplay) and making the banal idea into the most interesting part of the story (tell what is necessary to your friends/editing) The idea of this short film sounds too flat when read on paper. So to make it sound vibrant, we thought, after several discussions on the location that we were going to the making fi

'Ship of Theseus'- An allegory of The Paradox

The answer to the seemingly never-ending quest for the purpose of life, in its reality, has no purpose as such, except it has. Inquisitive being that Human is has always tried to pose questions for the things that were seemingly larger than himself. When he did find answers that were apparent, convenient, and limited- but not the truth, he settled. Evolution happened, as it should, so did the further quest in search of the truth, and thus, a philosophy ideated. To make it understandable of where I am heading towards, infamous work of Plato 'The Allegory of the cave' serves as a substantial analogy that he makes of how the philosopher is like a prisoner who is freed from the cave and comes to understand that the shadows on the wall are not reality at all, for he can perceive the true form of reality rather than the manufactured reality that is the shadows seen by the prisoners. The inmates of this place do not even desire to leave their prison, for they know no better life. Th

ಚಿರಋಣಿ

ಭಾಷ್ಪಕ್ಕೆ ಭಾವನೆಗಳ ಕೊಟ್ಟವರಾರು? ನೆನಪುಗಳೋ, ಜನರೋ, ಋತುಗಳೋ ಅಥವಾ, ನಡೆದು ಬಂದ ಹಾದಿಯೋ... ಮೈಲಿಗಲ್ಲಿನ ಮೇಲೆ ಹೆಸರು ಬರೆದಾಗಿದೆ ಇನ್ನು ಹಿಂದೆ ತಿರುಗಿ ನೋಡಿದರೆ ನಡೆದು ಬಂದ ಹಾದಿಯ ದೂರ ಮಾತ್ರ ಎದೆಗೆ ಸನಿಹ. ನೆನಪುಗಳಲ್ಲ, ಜನರಲ್ಲ, ಋತುಗಳಲ್ಲ... ಸಾಗುವ ದಾರಿಯಷ್ಟೇ ಭಾಷ್ಪಕ್ಕೆ ಭಾವನೆಗಳನು ತುಂಬುವುದು. ಇಂದಿಗೂ, ಎಂದೆಂದಿಗೂ; ಋಣಿಯಾಗಿರುವುದಷ್ಟೇ ನನ್ನ ಕರ್ತವ್ಯ.

ಚರಿತ್ರೆ

ಯುದ್ಧಭೂಮಿ ಅಲ್ಲದ ಜಾಗ ಹುಡುಕಿದರೂ ಸಿಗುವುದಿಲ್ಲ. ಗತವು ನೆನೆದಿದೆ- ರಕ್ತದಿಂದ, ಕಷ್ಟದ ಕಣ್ಣೀರಿನಿಂದ. ವಿಸ್ತರಿಸಿದ ರಾಜ್ಯವಲ್ಲ ಸೈನ್ಯದ ಸಂಖ್ಯೆಯಲ್ಲ ರಾಣಿಗೋಸ್ಕರ ಕಟ್ಟಿಸಿದ ಅರಮನೆಗಳಲ್ಲ, ಚರಿತ್ರೆಯ ದೊಡ್ಡತನ. ಕಪ್ಪು ಕೋಣೆಯಲ್ಲಿ ಬಿಗಿ ಉಸಿರು ಹಿಡಿದು ಭಯದಿಂದ ಬದುಕಿದ ಜನರೇ ಚರಿತ್ರೆಯ ದೊಡ್ಡತನ, ಜೀವಕ್ಕಾಗಿ ಹುಡುಕಿ ಬದುಕಿದ ಜನರೇ ಚರಿತ್ರೆಗೆ ದೊಡ್ಡತನ.

ದೇವಲೋಕದಲ್ಲಿ ಶರತ್ಕಾಲ

ತಾರೆಗಳು ಬೀಳುವ ಸಮಯ ಶರತ್ಕಾಲವಿರಬೇಕು ದೇವಲೋಕದಲ್ಲಿ ಬಿದ್ದವು ಸುಮ್ಮನಿರದೆ ಕಣ್ಣುಗಳಲ್ಲಿ ಕೂತು ಮಿನುಗಬೇಕಂತೆ. ಅವುಗಳಿಗೆ ಕನ್ನಡಿ ಇಟ್ಟವರಾರೆಂದು ಹುಡುಕಬೇಕು, ನನ್ನ ಕಣ್ಣುಗಳ ಹೋಲಿಕೆ ಇನ್ನ್ಯಾರಿಗಿದೆಯೆಂದು ಇಟ್ಟವರನ್ನು ಕೇಳಲು.
