Tethered Time versus Kitsch Infraordinary

Rarely has time been eulogised and barely even culture has been disparaged. Culture has been invented from kitsch to make generations' behaviour beautiful but time-invariant. Culture does not celebrate the unsettled dregs of intuiting individuals that ferment and spout unexpected florid expressions. There is a genre called horror for such people.

We raise hullabaloo when one culture throws bait at another. Look into how radical and rebellious are our stories and movies, and mostly you would find the un-tame-able protagonist turns into a tamed hero. One movie (Albert Pinto ko Gussa Kyon Aata Hai) where the protagonist is bent upon taunting everything he sees and owns, ends in losing his objectivity. Another example would be the poet Oliver Goldsmith ranting against depravity of capitalism and carpetbaggers in "The Deserted Village". Yet we see bespoke individuals who are not mis-directed and who make prolonged dedicated effort to enrich and grow science, art and business. These people including the iconic Silicon Valley gods puff airs but then they are galloping astride a steed called time.

A bespoke individual is ensnared by a dire possessive calling to tether - mind your own mind by your leave - and summon all internal forces upon a cause, and angrily distance from the circumstantial to find a mooring. Time is the only natural element - an adhesive if you will - that helps such individuals to re-inforce, variegate, synthesise and deliver an experience. It can be strong enough to bring lasting recogntion. These bespoke individuals accuse other individuals of failures and show strength to control the inputs and the output, regardless of who or what they sacrifice. Obviously they cannot sacrifice themselves. We can externally observe the pain of giving birth to an experience but not all such experiments succeed. Somewhere we are too much held back by our time-invariant culture to enter into the process of creativity and lighten the individual's burdening possessive call. There are therapies and medicines if you can afford it after failure.

Culture wants to worship its ownself through its followers. If you start behaving like a CEO and join the group of wannabe CEO s then you shall certainly become one. But if you want to discover bots and widgets, you have to unsheath your relationships and unbutton your behaviour, See the movie Birdman on how to do it.  Till such time that you succeed the people can call you an emperor without a kingdom, who is flaunting some exquisite concept.

Diffident Death-Eaters versus Dredging Dragoons

India's comic book equivalent of a Marvel hero is long absent. Earlier there was a contender called Chacha Chaudhury. He and his bosom pal were saviours of the distressed. The duo were extroverts, grinning from ear to ear and did not wear the burdening guilt of hero unlike their contemporaries Phantom and Mandrake,
Marvel comic book heroes wear a masochistic attitude like villains, do not seek help, complicate matters by not explaining anything to anyone, and are engaged in self-gratifying pursuit. Their female consorts are equally tortured, secretive and imprudent.
Not just the Marvel heroes, even Chacha and his friend from Jupiter forgot to say Wow ! for what God bestowed (bountiful Earth, misery of the individual mind and determination to overcome) and what the human society upholds (the enduring achievements that act as beacons for overcoming an individual's misery).
The branding of comic book heroes isolates the individual. Even the exclusivity tagged to cowboy consumer brands of FMCG / Auto MNC s, allows an individual to swagger in public and feel omnipotent. Nature has laid out a journey before us and while we travel, we cannot afford to lose the equanimity of the equilibrium between Nature and ourselves.
Just like air for lungs, the mind has to be fed on information and knowledge to meet challenges. The concepts and theories have to be owned like a precious stones before we collectively understand the true import and validate it as extension of existing knowledge. Then after assimilation obviously we can pass them like cooking recipes into textbooks.
We have to re-organise knowledge based on solving an activity. For example a hands-on study of tools, their materials and their contextual solutions in the first year of an engineering degree course,  Another one on adhesives, drills and fasteners. If the students and governments knew how much emissions come from a diesel engine, then the market could have rationed gasoline and priced diesel far higher than gasoline.
Surely one has to  invent comic books to create the chilled miasma of research. We need to showcase that many average IQ minds working in sync are better than solo brilliance. It is OK to understand late than never understand at all.
