Without the fear of consequence

1st March, 2008 - 60 days post-wedding and life's still the same. If one were to discount the total shift to junk-free diet, having to talk more than I was ever used to (communication is the key..they say), and an overall loss of a sense of that vague word called freedom, life's just the same as I had left it on the 30th Dec 07 ( and of course the phone bill's reduced by abt 400%).

This post isnt about my married life. The opening para is misleading. But then again, this aint a GMAT passage either..if you get the drift.

Ok here are some of my arm chair thoughts:

1. In a few years, India's + China's population will comprise close to half the world's population. In other words, every second person you meet, will most likely be one of the above. Chinese will have a larger ageing population and Indians, vice versa. Combine this with the fact that these guys are the seriously upwardly yuppie kinds and we have a whole new world order in place. Implications :- are you kidding me? I'll bet my laptop, Mckinsey have a whole team working dedicated to this one fact alone.

2. In a larger context, Laptops are the Pagers of this generation. Get ready for its mobile phone equivalent. Look around you. The seriously successful, DONT CARRY LAPTOPS....duh! Is it blackberrys then, you ask? Wrong answer. This also explains why I willingly bet my laptop.

3. A green revolution is around the corner and I dont mean agriculture. Hybrid cars, zero emission vehicles, bio fuel automobiles, and the like. Renewable energy is on the cusp of reaching desirable efficiencies. Implications: Invest in companies taking a lead on this.

Missus is serving lunch. I have to leave...but this aint the end. Muhahaha!
