            Courage Of The Sea -----Sea Gypsies

Have you ever heard of sea-gypsies?

    Yesterday I was thrilled  to watching the  skill of a tribe  known as sea-gypsies.in T.V.channel.
They live in the Surin Island of Thailand in huts , roofed with leaves and branches,  erected on four poles ,high from the ground.They live very close to the sea-shore.They lived on fishing It is amazing to watch  how  both flocks of fish and human kids(aged between 7/8 to 12/15) moving under deep water in the same way.They are completely nude.Each of them ,with long spear in their hand dive deep into the sea chasing the fish reaches even  the sea -bed in a twinkle of  an eye and comes up the shore with successful hunt.They look like fish with divided tails. which are tactually their legs. No other device but  a long spear made of wood ,perhaps made by themselves.

     They were almost unknown until the Tsunami of 2004 which extinct their population  remaining  230  only.  After  the tsunami,the tribe is getting food ,clothes ,education under the  Thai government care.
"Sea-gypsies" culture language and SKILL are changing through modernisation  -&-education.

       The old generation are sad that their specie will be lost.Their land is now reserved for commercial use of fish-industry.

      I think,the extraordinary skill and experience of this tribe was a great live-resource  of profound knowledge  for the university of Oceanology  These sea-gypsies were no less than any doctorate, though illiterate.
Instead of  grinding them  into"factory-product" of typical School Education,   their  incredible   talent should be  honored and valued in better way. 

Same fate was to Phi-Phi island in Thiland  near the the Andaman sea.

Modeling from diaper to diamond part------ 2

Beauty is a greater force in human affairs than stream or electricity------wrote advertising guru Catkins in  Atlantic Magazine ,--"In beauty,"sky is the limit".
. Significantly model woman alters our judgement  of people .How better to advertise  a new car or sofa or perfume than with the help of a pretty model? Beauty is now  used as a commodity  like any other. Say for example, the famous dress-designer "Victoria Secret"...in fact,   kept nothing  'secret ' of feminine mystic! And that is the SECRET   key of their success!
                        Business success!
In the second half of 20th century  the feminists thinkers  condemned model agencies for damaging female physical mysticism  But  what to do :once the gene comes out of bottle ,  it spreads & enlarges................
Americans love 'modernism'. Advertising  is  driving  them  to  quench their thirst as  the old Pied Piper did !.Immense success of recent trade shows at MACY's where New-yorkers  line up for hours  not only before festival but almost throughout the year :Display of latest style to every corner of home parlor- kitchen to bathroom ,furniture ,saloon, car model  for chevrolet ,crockeries, garments, jewelry and what not! their on-line business is soaring up  and up to touch sky. 
                      Walmart  & K-Mart  , are popular  to other cities and towns  but not to the snobs of New york.When I came first in US I purchased lots of items for gifts and for myself from W-Mart as  seemed to me much cheeper  relatively and good in quality.  Walmart was my first love for shopping.
I always advice my Indian tourists friends to shop in Walmart.They appreciate me.
            With high expectation that metropolitan city must have more gorgeous Walmart,  I went to shop there, after much arguments with my unwilling daughter to go there ;it  really shattered my notion.  It is smaller relatively  and looked  uncared like orphan boy ;not crowded with customers like Macy or other w-marts I experienced  in Austin.
 But why?
Is it that it is not situated in proper commercial hub?
    To give honor, instead of empty hand, I purchased some glasses only from my first 'love-shop!'

Is God Counting Days ?

Title;; Is god counting days?
                                 From last ten years I have been hearing vitro fertilization . I guessed it might be some treatment for the barren woman to be able to conceive baby:  a research ,based on social-welfare norm.
But  recently I came to know that    human intelligence  is now challenging  the biological clock  by freezing the egg of young women so  that they can become mother even   at late age when  their fertility  reduces.

Robust fertility  industry is growing fast. Egg-banxx,a newyork based fertility start-up that acts as a broker of egg-freezing services;------panel of doctors discussing special discount and financial options for  patients. ..Is there  else any  domain  still left to invade?

      ....  Space Time Creation   all are loosing virginity...........Is there else any domain still left to invade?

                  Very soon the golden  fortune for medical advertising companies  will come to beat the drum in T.V.magazines ,journals  &newspapers .

Time ,my diety and challenge of technology

The explosion of information technology has reduced the the distance between space and time .Human intelligence has now stepped to challenge  and capture  Time (my Deity)  which I think  crossing beyond the limit. Perhaps , this is why The Bible did not allow Adam to touch the Tree of Wisdom  to save us  from nearing the dooms Day.

Back to last ten years I first heard of vitro fertilization.I guessed that it might be a treatment for the barren women to conceive baby..... a research based on social welfare norm.

Recently I read an article and came to know that it is a process of egg-freezing.Women will freeze their  egg : a fragile bud of human potential, to save their youth and fertility for future so that women can become mother at later age at their own will.
      Later motherhood is going to become 'norm 'of coming new age'.  A landmark for a giant leap of feminist's movement!
   Isn't this egg-freezing promises to challenge the problem of biological clock............the last weapon against nature to end up sexual revolution since the invention of birth-control pill  ? Did  the feminists like Betty Fredan or Gloria Steinam imagined such type of freedom women  would won within   the span of 50 years?
   Freezing,women are told, is a fountain of youth which means capturing & captivating time. Perhaps,  we are nearing the Dooms-Day .
                In Old Testament  It is often mentioned  about  woman to ask "let us take seed from...........
Abraham"s first wife Sarai was barren and gave  her slave-maid Hagger  to Abraham to bear child for him . But at the age of 90. she became  pregnant . Was it  in those ancient age  also bio-science was so advanced to preserve and apply"seed" which is now known as" frozen egg"?
     Within one or two decades ,perhaps in most advanced countries, women at late age might be starting to give birth to their children.

 What these  newborn  sets of poor babies will call their biological mother ? Mom or directly  promoted to grand ma?   who will bring up them?These grandma cum mom may be too feeble  to  take proper care.
                 Probably  energetic  young women  will be recruited as foster or proxy- mother! Provision of new jobs  for women; Not bad.!!

It is said that whole life is there to learn .True! But after 65+ grey-matter dries out so pathetically that it is not easy to learn internet or to work  online. Young  generation has not so much time or patience to teach the old wastes time with trial and error.
I thought writing & receiving E-Mail is enoughBut now I see  it has endless potentialities and possibilities .

Sipra's Diary: From Diaper to Diamond

from diaper to diamond....modeling as flourishing business.

 Now-a-days 'advertising' and 'modeling'  go hand in hand as twin. Ad-companies  present all products from diaper to diamond with  attractive model which spurred simultaneously music, video-script, cartoon, animation film,T.V. shows along with the traditional social media of paper and magazine with attractive colored  picture.

All these businesses  have crowded between products and customers.  Do they   help  to bridge or create wall of confusion between products  and customers?   After looking around here and there ,ultimately the customers stick to that product  which suits to be  best and gains trust.Thus customer's faith grows on that advertisement which promote the product they select to use.When too  many customers are influenced  by same Ad.Company, then the company achieves "Brand".Thus Procter and Gamble, Uni-lever,Johnson and Johnson have been  known as well reputed Ad.co-s for fast moving consumer goods.
  The basis  of getting the "brand" is the  quality of the product in one hand and trust upon the  AdCo on the other hand.

From 1962 I started to use Nivea cream and still now it continues .Its get-up is same as before. All products of this company  reign in the market competing with hundred of  other new products.  For  other cosmetics (from my childhood) I saw Lux and sandal soap in summer, and  Pears glycerine soap in the winter, cuticura and ponds talc powder, ponds cream  .

But I dont see some other qualitative products like Oatin cream , pears powder Halo shampoo, Evening Paris perfume.etc,.Perhaps they are lost in the dazzling light of this new age of propaganda. In the same way ,for any electronic goods like radio,T.V. music system etc.I rely on Philip, Sony. For mobile phone :  I prefer Tata , Nokia and recently samsung also.But not smart phone!

  By Contrast now customers of  the new generation frequently go on changing their options from one  product to another product.What is the root cause of such behavioral psychology of the consumers?

Is it  that they are not satisfied with the quality of product?
     Here  is the chance of Ad-co. to play an important  dynamic  economic role  as  well as socially and morally responsible entity.
