Chicken and Egg Conundrum

Did biology come first before divinity? Or did Divinity decide on biology and quantumly spark the first flint of life in the Universe?

Or is Divinity independent of biology - Divinity would go on doing its job while biology evolved as and when it deemed necessary? The splinter of life that was created had a life of its own to improve its own existence. To stay relevant and to be competitive, as species variation began to evolve, biology experimented with its offspring. With the luxury of time in its hand, with trial and error, sometimes with a fear of extinction, it chose the most viable options and laboured on through.

After aeons of exploration, selection still is ongoing. Along the way, some species developed specialised neural cells and the ability to appreciate consciousness. Soon this consciousness began the process of introspection and started wondering if it is really part of the Master Intellect that governs the ongoing of the Universe. 

That sprang another enigma. It came to a stage when the invented became associated as the inventor. The by-product thought literally got into the mind of the creator. The design proffered his own attributes to the designer. It was as if the design knew what the architect wanted. The end-product deciding on how the conveyor belt should run or should be run.

The story of Genesis has reached a quandary - of biology killing Divinity and assuming the role of the Creator. Even though he does not have perfected the art of creation, he has already set rules and regulations that he is cocksure that these were heaven-sent. And he is hellbent to carry it out till the end of time.

Now the invention has to combat competition from his own creation to stay relevant. The Artificial Intelligence (AI) that he invented is far more superior than the inventor. AI has superseded his inventor in terms of reliability, relevance, discipline without the unnecessary baggage of emotions. The egg and chicken conundrum spins once again.

Gory historic details or gore fest?

Razakar:  The Silent Genocide Of Hyderabad  (Telegu, 2024) Director:  Yata Satyanarayana In her last major speech before her disposition, Sheikh Hasina accused those who opposed her rule in Bangladesh of being Razakars. The opposition took offence to this term and soon widespread mob throughout the land. Of course, it is not that that single incident brought down an elected government but a culmination of joblessness and unjust reservations for a select population group. In the Bengali psyche, Razakar is a pejorative term meaning traitor or Judas. It was first used during the 1971 Pakistan Civil War. The paramilitary group who were against the then-East Pakistani leader, Majibur Rehman, were pro-West Pakistan. After establishing independence in Bangladesh, Razakars were disbanded, and many ran off to Pakistan. Around the time of Indian independence, turmoil brewed in the princely state of Hyderabad, which had been a province deputed by the Mughals from 1794. The rule of N...

The products of a romantic star of the yesteryear!

Now you see all the children of Gemini Ganesan (of four wives, at least) posing gleefully for the camera after coming from different corners of the world to see the ailing father on his deathbed. They seem to found peace with the contributor of their half of their 46 chromosomes. Sure, growing up must have been hell seeing their respective mothers shedding tears, indulgence in unhealthy activities with one of them falling prey to the curse of the black dog, hating the sight of each step sibling, their respective heartaches all because of the evil done by one man who could not put his raging testesterones under check! Perhaps,the flashing lights and his dizzying heights that his career took clouded his judgement. After all, he was only human... Gems of Gemini Ganesan L-R: Dr Revathi Swaminathan, Narayani Ganesan, Dr Kamala Selvaraj, Rekha, Vijaya Chamundeswari   and Dr Jaya Shreedhar.  ( Abs:  Radha Usman Syed, Sathish Kumaar Ganesan) Seeing six of Ge...

Chicken's Invite? (Ajak-ajak ayam)

In the Malay lingo, the phrase 'ajak-ajak ayam' refers to an insincere invitation. Of course, many of us invite for courtesy's sake, but then the invitee may think that the invitation is for real! How does anyone know? Inviters and invitees must be smart enough to take the cue that one party may have gatecrashed with ulterior motives, or the other may not want him to join in the first place! Easily twenty years ago, my family was invited to a toddler's birthday party. As my children were toddlers, too, we were requested to come early so that my kids could run around and play in their big compound. And that the host said she would arrange a series of games for them to enjoy. So there we were in the early evening at a house that resembled very little of one immersed in joy and celebration. Instead, we were greeted by a house devoid of activities and no guests. The host was still out shopping her last-minute list, and her helper was knee-deep in her preparations to ...
