Is Philosophy just an armchair theory ???


"Is the study of philosophy just an armchair theory" I would have to emphatically answer that with a NO. Philosophy, at its best, offers one the chance to consider the thoughts of other thinkers and their assessments of LGQs (life's great questions). I can see someone new to philosophy wondering why there aren't more things published regarding the answers to these LGQs. More often we talk about why do we ask these questions, how long has humanity engaged in asking these questions, how is this question related to that question, etc.The answer, for me, is that the practice of considering these LGQs gives one perspective in each of our own lives. I am viscerally involved in the living of my own life. From my blood and guts to my daydreaming to every action I take, I am there and thinking about myself. If one pursues philosophy, lower case or capitalized, at that level, there is no way for it to be an armchair pursuit. It is a serious intellectual enterprise that requires much work and study. At the time tough situation one should see the problems, standing in the shoes of affected person and take un-biased decision. It can be concluded that philosophy is not just an armchair theory; but can be practiced in day to day life for attaining success in all walks of life.

The Age of Information


The Information Age, also commonly known as the Computer Age or Information Era, is an idea that the current age will be characterized by the ability of individuals to transfer information freely, and to have instant access to knowledge that would have been difficult or impossible to find previously. The idea is linked to the concept of a Digital Age or Digital Revolution, and carries the ramifications of a shift from traditional industry that the Industrial Revolution brought through industrialization, to an economy based around the manipulation of information. Today the Internet has become the ultimate platform for accelerating the flow of information and is, today, the fastest-growing form of media. Thus, the term "Information Age" is often applied in relation to the use of cell phones, digital music, high definition television, digital cameras, the Internet, cable TV, I-pods, Palm-top, I-pads and other items that have come into common use in the past 30 years.

What ails Indian sports????



One of the greatest” degradations that has occurred in our country during the second half of the twentieth century, has been in the field of sports and games. The” only performance of note has been the gold medal in hockey won at the Moscow Olympics in 1980 ,gold medal at the 2008 Beijing Olympics, Abhinav Bindra won the gold for the Men's 10m Air Rifle and the triumph at the 1983 & 2011 World Cup Cricket Championships. But these occasional triumphs do not augur well for the future of Indian sports. A nation of 1.2 billion has not been able to produce a sportsperson or athlete of international standards even after five decades of independence. In today’s new climate of peace, a nation’s achievements in sports are valued far above its arsenal or military might. We have, however, lagged behind in every field in spite of a large potential manpower. What does really ail Indian sports? With a few honorable exceptions like cricket, chess and tennis (where, even at the best of times, our performance has been erratic to say the least), our sportspersons and athletes like the ‘Flying Sikh’ Milkha Singh and the ‘Sprint Queen’ P.T. Usha have failed to find a mention in the international medal tally, in spite of their best efforts and glowing eulogies at home. The chances of our doing well or making a mark in the international arena remain grim till date. At home also, the standard in regional, state-level and national-level games is fast deteriorating. The malady, indeed, is deep rooted. The first and the foremost cause is the poor state of our economy. We cannot spot, nourish and nurture talent even in the initial stages. Whoever hits the spotlight is, by and large, a fluke. He or she has done it on one’s own merit. For instance, our cricket hero Kapil Dev has come up’ against all odds to make a mark in international cricket. Privatisation or sponsorship of the various games and sports is the only answer especially when we cannot spare enough funds for sporting activities in the country. The second cause of the fast-deteriorating standards in Indian sports is the politicization of sports. Regionalism, linguism and favoritism are all visible, when any selection for a national or international event is made. This coupled with the lack of basic infrastructure, has hindered any progress in this direction.
