Earth... We have a problem.

You know what I just realised that we soon won't have any inspirations. No think about it, all are inspirations are dead, old or getting there. And I am not just talking films. I am also talking music, advertising, cooking, computers, sports and almost everything .

Amitabh Bachchan, Naseeruddin Shah, William Shakespeare, David E. Kelley, Metallica, Sting, Yan Can Cook, Van Gogh, Ralph Lauren, Rushdie, Steven Spielberg, George Lucas, Marta Kaufman, Clint Eastwood, Pink Floyd, Sachin Tendulkar, Ang Lee, Beethoven, Yash Chopra, Ed Harris, Jack Lemmon, Jamie Glynhall, Sir Don Bradman, Yves Saint Lauren, Robert Ludlum, Al Pacino, Lady Di, Jim Morrison, Piyush Pandey, Pele, Margaret Thatcher, Neil French, Franz Kafka, Amar Bose, Mohandas K. Gandhi, Woody Allen, Robert DeNiro, Steve Jobs, Bill Gates, Emily Bronte, Red Hot Chilli Peppers, U2, Warren Beatty, Aamir Khan, Trevor Beattie, Mozart, Albert Einstein, David Droga, Laloo Prasad Yadav, Kevin S. Bright, Sylvia Plath, Sam Manekshaw, Samuel Beckett, Walter Zenga, Dustin Hoffman, David Abbot, Sean Penn, Mark Knopfler, Jeremy Irons, Martin Luther King, Meryl Streep, GNR, Douglas Adams, Jean-Luc Godard, Stephen Fry, Jack Nicholson, Martin Scorsesse, Tom Hanks, Shahrukh Khan, Mira Nair, Ratan Tata, Richard Dreyfus, Walter Matthau, you get the picture.

Not in that order obviously.

Now, I am no big Shahrukh fan, but the man's got his fans. One must respect that. And why Laloo, well because the guy turned a loss-making government venture into a profit making machine in one year, without reducing prices, cutting staff, schedules or even affecting traffic. He also gave a lecture to LSE about the same topic. If you have no idea what I am talking about, hit alt+f4 on your keyboard now. (Ah! How I love condescension.)

Coming back...

So you see, we have a problem.

Where is our inspiration going to come from? What is it that has not been done?

From the wheel in real life to the wheel in holographic 3-d imaging (if there is such a thing) has already been done. The classic films have been made, the ads made, the theories proved, disproved and the proved again, the books have written, the plays have been written, directed, performed, read and sometimes even by the same person.

So really what is left for us to do? What achievement is expected from our generation? And are we actually going to deliver it?

We have a few sparks but will they last? Will they do something as big as these guys? Because, everything they can do has already been done?

And if it hasn't the people will say given the circumstances, the technology, even our forefathers could have done it. So everything will be compared.

So unless someone cracks the actual value of pie, without a computer, we're fucked.

It's time for us to be the inspiration to a generation who doesn't read. We're fucked.

But it's time, none the less. All the best.
