I was at lunch with my best friend, when I commented about the guy sitting two tables out. Delicate as she was, she spent a good five minutes staring at his physiology before pronouncing that he looked like a newspaper boy. I distinctly remember choking on my food at that point of time, before I spat out “Are you serious?” Reconsidering, after a cross examination, she declared “Nope, I was wrong, bus conductor, definitely” Sensing that I didn’t get it, she explained “Oh, those two are the only manly-man professions available to Malayali men now, since all other physical work is done by the northies, although, we do still have protesters and goodas in the labour-intensive category”
This statement made me realize how much the times have changed over the years with gender roles along with it. For example, the amount of movies which focus on hero worship have almost all been replaced by the new generation movies with much more exciting plotlines and lower number of cars getting blownup in the back ground. Not just movies, our taste is evolving from archaic to modern in almost every field. Catering to this change, a lot of people are doing some incredible stuff. I mean, seriously, have you seen these videos of the modern day ‘Wednesday Addams’, (of the Addams’ Family fame) If not, check it out, here : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qVO3sNcJ7A8
A lot of action on such interesting projects is happening in crowd funding sites like Kickstarter or Indiegogo. Whether it’s the arrival of the Aquarian age or the power of technology which has made meeting people so much easier, there’s no doubt that traditional methods and structures are feeling a level of pressure to keep up with the times. But, it has also become very easy for anyone sitting even in the comfort of their own home to change the world with the click of a few buttons.
And it’s so easy! You tube probably has 10 different people who have done a tutorial video on anything you can think of. With so much data at the mercy of our download limit, it’s almost shameful to say “I don’t know how” Please, google it, you’ll find out.
So here, let me put the record straight, late IS better than never. Whether it’s a tutorial on how to cut hard boiled eggs to resemble roses, a self made set of blueprints to your very own city, train or batmobile, there’s a huge market out there for interesting and original ideas. All you have to do is to go out there and grab the opportunities. Oh, and I call dibs for all the above ideas, so find new ones, please!
