The Vagaries of Life


The Latitude and hemisphere effect
My parents in their younger days knew bleakly the far off countries like the black Africa and the white America and the definitive Gora British since they still ruled. My grandfather only knew the British and a foreign country called England and the way they travelled in Ships and their royal welcomes at the gateway of India. My generation knows UK, Australia, America, Africa, Europe and the illusory Switzerland. My offspring know to fly in every nook and corner of all the latitudes and both the hemispheres of this globe and can narrate at length about the tallest building in Dubai and Mount Titlis and East and West coasts of America not to forget the bliss of Maldives and the harbour bridge of Sydney.
The colour of the skin or the stature of your body are discussed at will and never mind the racist splurge or the caste overtone. What was once spoken in hushes and whispers is spoken loud. All the colours, the tall and short have mingled and the entire world with all its communication skills is trying to set up a universal mindset. It is not very long when there would be a united cosmic mind able to rise to the skies and reach far galaxies.
