Randomized Thoughts

Man has through the ages sought in vain for an imaginary elixir of life, the divine amirta, to confer immortality. But the true elixir of life lies near to our hands, for it is the commonest of all liquids, plain water. -- Dr.C.V.Raman

Its been a undisputed fact of life and all of the scientific community is going crazy on the great discovery of water on the moon. Sure its nice to know it. But how happy should mankind be of this discovery? Already there are talks of making a settlement in moon becoming a reality in distant future. I may not live the day when humans have made moon their new home. But some part of me is just disgusted with the idea of man settling in moon.

I am a regular follower of "Cartoonscape" in The Hindu. The issue on September,25th couldn't have told the story better.

For me, humans have become a parasite devouring this planet. A handful of us have exploited, abused and raped out mother earth. Now they are in search of a new host to bear the scourge that they have already done to our natural home. We are just mute spectators to it. A mood very well depicted in the picture. I only hope not to see the day when humans have colonized another world. I rather prefer humans going extinct to leave this planet in peace, for other life forms to have their rightful share of space on Earth.
