INFORMATION OVERLOADED ATTENTION DEFICIENCY

Does being around informative people make us knowledgeable. Ofcourse not.

"Information is not Knowledge"                      

                                                                                          -Albert Einstein

So where is the knowledge we lost in information? Even T. S. Eliot could not find the answer to his very own question.  And left us with this puzzling pithy which is eventually degrading to cliche. 

Human beings during their whole life come across with so many things that at some point of time they become vulnerable to this encumbered information. As usual exceptions are there, but they are never taken into consideration, otherwise they would not have been called as exceptions. 

Coming back to the cliche thing, it feels gawky to see some people still unsatisfied with their appetite for overloading information which will gradually result into nothing.

We are facing the greatest pandemic of the century- H1N1 flu ( Swine flu) but our health ministry seems unperturbed with it. Or it may be because they are running out of their little reserved mind. Comments like "Don't Panick", "Avoid Crowd" are well taken but so far suggesting people to wear mask not to protect themselves but others somwhere tells us that they are so badly moved with sudden inflow of cases that they even forgot the two way affect of mask. 

Lets go back to World Population Day. It was the day which showed definitive inarticulateness of our Hounrable Health Minister. In a Press Meeting he urged to the people of India to keep themselves busy with watching Television so as to achieve birth control. And he even gave a logic to this. Well I think he must be eating LAYS that time otherwise Dilogical idea seems to be pouring in from either Mahi or Saif. Actually at this level we Indian can't expect better than this from our Ministers.

In a recent incident when SRK became the victim of frisking by US Homeland Security, we in India let our emotional mind flow so fluidly that we even forgot security is what we are lacking and US is having. Now come our other Minister, Mrs I&B Ministry, who wants to take revenge with same short of frisking with Americans in India. I am glad and egarly waiting for the moment of full screening at our Airports. Atleast this would not give safe passage to some culprits.

Now if we look into all these not so trifling matters. We would find a common link between them. The link of deficiency of much required attention. And this is because, we all are surmounted with loads of trifling things that we forget or pretend to forget the most important matter in between. 

We care about no. of people dying of swine flu everyday but never bother to wear that non-placebo N95. We care about watching Television but never think about India's degradability into most populous Nation. We care about what happened to SRK, even though he was publicizing his upcoming movie "My Name is Khan", but never think about security holes in India.

So it might be very thoughtful of you to ponder about all these, but all we need is serious action. A thoughtful action which would help to pass on the knowledge without leaky channel.
