Our Legacy - I Wonder - Do You?

Wait. Wh..whaaat? Winter? Are you sure its Dubai? We have winter? thinkingsmiley ... :rotfl

Yahhh true... :-( This year the so called 'winter' didn't even last a month, global warming effect to an already 'warm' Dubai! faintingsmiley

 

Dear Rihana,

I stand corrected and let us call them as "Foremothers". I know 50-50 claim continues when I feel it is already at 100+ in favor of "W" having pushed "M" = 0. bie1

If it makes you feel any better... LHS (west) = RHS (east), Hence Proved Equal! ;-) :2thumbsup:



Take it easy! Isn't that the basic philosophy of life? Cheer up!

( Now its upto the greater universe... Annnd it says "Peace"...! So Peace it is! ;-) )

 

Rihana dear I saw your thread when there was feedback, I thought I will give the first feedback but after reading I did not know what feedback to give. Now after reading everyone's feedback only I understood what you have written. I told you na I am a tubelight.

Like Agatha for me also all days are same as I am leading a retired life. Since there is noone going to office or school I get up the same day everyday. But in my inner heart I feel Thursdays are precious because on that day we worship so many Gods, Lord Krishna, Lord Raghavendra, Lord Hanuman , Lord Saibaba etc

 

Architects design awesome structures every day. I'm sure some will endure for future generations to gawk at.

Some of my favorites: Delhi's Lotus Temple, Denmark's Iceberg, Dubai's Atlantis, Milan's Bosco Verticale, Miami's Sunpath House, Ohio's Basket Building, Poland's Crooked House, Prague's Dancing Building, Sweden's Turning Torso, Tennessee's WonderWorks.

But I think the legacy that our descendants will appreciate is the Information Superhighway. They'll sit in their tiny homes, watch 360-degree videos of everything, then text (or ESP) their virtual friends to say how awesome it all is.

 

I recently visited Srilanka and they have a tourist attraction (nice concept) of experiencing village living for few hours...

So you get into a house which is half modern and half village like ... you get to see all things which old like a grinding stone, wood used for cooking, mud floors ... the host will welcome you into a traditional house, in a traditional way.. you sit on a mat, they make roti, chatni and basic subji using those grinding stones etc.. you can help them out or try your hand in these activities.. and eat sitting on the floor .. and you go to the paddy fields in a tractor, there is a autorikshaw ride etc etc... a good one actually..

Our future generation may have to visit "tourist" places in future to experience our "current lives" today

things that would be part of the tour would be

1) TVs (oh they used something called a "set top box" to receive signals and teenagers would giggle)

2) Drive cars on the roads to reach somewhere.. (who knows they may be flying to work every day or just don't have to go anywhere to work)

3) a visit to the supermarket... grocery shopping could be an exotic experience..

4) all the printers, fax machines, mobile phones, land phones, tabs ... you name it .... all these will be exotic old world experiences.. needless to say tape recorders which are already old school and could fetch some antique value..

5) Marriages ?? social structures ?? or the changes we are currently going through

6) Libraries (with real books) ?? .. I hate to even type this .. but could be... right ??

7) why ?? you will have historians going over all the IL threads to make sense out of how life used to be all those years ago...

I can go on and on... but will stop my ramblings now...

 

@Swt.charu
You visited Sri Lanka? Hey, I live here. Didn't know about your travel. Else, I would have hosted you or given you some good advice about your travel. Missed it.

Hope, you visited somewhere around Kalpitiya in the north west. That's where this home-stay sort of tourism concept is famous. I too like it.
