A FIRST FOR ME!!!

Here I am, simultaneously whipping my brain into two new realms of operation, concurrent processing of thought and a reasonably coherent translation of the said thoughts to words on a post. To say the very least, this is a new experience to me and am very unsure what to expect out of this whole experience. In fact, I am not even aware what probably has motivated me to write a post now, given the fact that I have the least amount of time to devote to sensible thought processing and a subsequent translation thereof. Nonetheless, I am here on the web with substantial trepidation and excitement in equal measure and I realize it is not such a bad thing after all to get someone else to see something/anything through your lens into the world.

Over the last couple of weeks, I have been following rather closely the politics of the migrant against native in Mumbai, India. It is easily one of the most blatantly myopic view of the scenario I have encountered in a while. For all its political ramifications, I would perversely seek a scientific explanation for a theme thats pretty much repeating itself on every single piece of inhabited land on this planet(OK!!we can discount Anatartica). I just wonder if there is a Darwinian under current to the way we humans are evolving. Is survival going to be achieved out of blatant seclusion of a set of humans from another. As we evolve, by progressive segregation are we moving forward or back in civilization? I just wonder, can we survive as a race through seclusion? A few hundred years of scientific evidence tells us otherwise(across the animal kingdom). No wonder the most ignorant and hence, susceptible sections of our society are the only ones who seem to be getting carried away by such rhetoric to banish people from a place based on their alien geographic origin. It is just plain sad that, this pattern is being observed in more places than one wishes to acknowledge. Having said that, I seriously wish this trend dies a rapid death, else I ask God or whoever maybe the higher power to allow me to witness the gradual decline and eventual extinction of this sect of humans who purport native protectionism. In any case, God/the higher power in her infinite wisdom is not going to afford me that bit of sadistic pleasure. Heck, so be it:)
