Synopsis
Modern world is a complex mix of industry, agriculture and services. Underlying all these is education. Education is that power that creates technologies, art, culture, and the levers that drive activities. In the potpourri of global transactions, blogs have come to occupy a prominent place amongst the materials that we read today. Typically short and high velocity blogs can convey thoughts quickly and many of them lead to reflection and contemplation. This book is a collection of such blogs, covering many and varied subjects which will provoke the reader to think about the subjects education, manufacturing, economy, humour, politics, commerce and management. The author hopes the reader will be transported to a space where further inquiry and actions will lead to progress in the future, and make this earth a better place to live in.
