I BEG TO DIFFER

Before I start writing about a specific person, I believe there are still a handful of people who “Think Big, Think Different”, unfortunately people call them impractical and immature. These so called people are not just the older generation who can’t help with their priggishness, but also the MTV generation who prefer profanity over proficiency and call themselves different. If posing in front of a camera is really being different then thanks to Louis Daguerre who came up with the concept of first Daguerreotype camera. Maybe now you realize what mechanics is involved behind producing one single pixel of your so different self.

Someone who talks about ideas and new inventions is considered to be out-of-his-mind and lame, in short an IDIOT. If a 9V battery goes out, no one is going to say “Oh!!! Never mind. Let’s use a transformer and bridge rectifier and make a 9V adapter.” Talking about ideas, why didn’t anyone ever think of generating energy from sound signals? Probably the mobile phone companies can answer these questions who rave around boasting about their battery backup or probably my Young Scientist award winning professor, who thinks a major project, should be something that involves a highly complicated algorithm and a complex circuit with loads of chips and microcontrollers. “What’s so great about it?” he says.

Articulating about anything that no one has ever heard about is what is called insanity. Nobody says, “What an idea. Sirjee!!!”.  And so was Da Vinci or for that matter Galileo, an Idiot. One person who was almost 4 centuries ahead of his time was hard to believe then, but the Renaissance man gave way to modern technology and medical science, be it through his basic design of a double hull or the anatomy of human body.

One of my ideals, Nikola Tesla was seemingly a mad scientist by the so called people of his age. But this seemingly unrealistic man wasn’t just able to produce A.C. current; he was even able to transmit it wirelessly if it wasn’t for JPMorgan’s cunning plan to make money out of wired transmission. Tesla was an idiot, for he talked about flying machines without wings and fuel for life.

You might not find much of an Einstein type these days, but you can definitely look out for some idiots like the following:

IDIOT No. 1: While all others are busy cramming for an exam that is scheduled after two hours, he would be either snoring in bed or busy repairing his bike or washing clothes and still manage to outshine the rest.

IDIOT No. 2: At an instant he would seem much like Jughead Jones who would give the illusion of being sleepy dead in the class but when woken up in the middle of the lecture and asked to summarize the session, would come up with his own mesmerizing view points about the topic leaving the professor in a flabbergast.

IDIOT No. 3: Seeing an apple IPOD in his hands will make you think he has got big bucks, but that IPOD is just a gift from the Android team for making an application for them with the little programming he can do in his pre-final year of graduation.

IDIOT No. 4: He would give up on a 20-lpa job to start up his own venture earning just a few bucks out of it and bearing with all the liabilities, but 20 years hence in an Alumni meet, while all his batch-mates being CEOs and Mangers of their companies would come as guests, his name would be imprinted on the invitation card as GUEST OF HONOR and the same teachers and principals who once gave up on him calling him absurd would now exalt him as an ideal for their students.
