Let it Flow
When an initiative is undertaken at a local level, it is driven by self-interest and the interest of the immediate community. Educating and enabling local communities while keeping checks and balances in place might seem like a tall order, but AI and ML might go a long way towards ensuring effectiveness of such measures. Companies face challenges in incorporating new technology into old business processes when instituting environmental CSR efforts. Technology may yet eliminate the scope for finger pointing and yield real results at a local level when entrusted to the locals.
Story Telling
Leaving it in the hands of original culture makers even with fewer initial profits, will give people a reason to visit places and have an authentic experience. Which in turn will sustain tourism.
The World is too Much with Us
“Story telling”, a must have skill in corporate branding today, is in essence a need for technological expertise with humanistic thinking capacity. Answer the Public and other sophisticated SaaS detect most searched keywords offering valuable insights into potential customer behavior. Carefully researched and crafted images and opinions go viral on the internet because we collectively respond to predictable Pavlovian stimulus. Keyword searches yield insights into people’s curiosity and thought process, quickly churning collected data into a simulacrum of ethos that plays out like a computer-generated collective consciousness. The individual, rather than telling the story or participating in one, is swept up like a pawn in the algorithmic saga spawned by social media and marketing campaigns for measured success in a shared marketplace. “It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas!”

Wouldn’t it be nice if more of us could learn to laugh about things, lighten up a bit?
Here Comes the Knight Bus, Vroom Vroom!
Marketing theorist Phillip Cotler described needs as “felt deficiency”. Needs, individual and collective describe a person. When it comes to transportation, the need for mobility is the same for one and all. Whether people move about in a shared vehicle or an individual one. The distinction is essentially that of purchasing power. It is easy to overlook while making such distinctions, that it is the vehicle for a joyride that defies all distinctions of form and function. Invariably the coolest, serving absolutely no purpose at all! Like the trolly car or the Bugatti or Hennessey Venom. Whoever rode to work in any one of those babies?! Those are essentially toys. Albeit expensive ones, but like the old trolly, their value lies in the spirit of play that we all share. Is it then the use of a product driven by need, that is hierarchically insufficient to that which is not? If we were to flip Cotler’s theory on its head, ignoring “felt deficiency”, seeking “felt sufficiency”, would we then consider all our vehicles and our needs differently?
Gravity of the Grassroot
The focus of economic improvement kept local, will create employment, and education for the indigenous people in the Himalayas. Tourism for a major source of revenue , the attraction to these parts may be preserved by allowing the local people to preserve and flourish within their culture. So they won't feel impelled to move away from their roots in pursuit of a better living. Strategic assistance provided now will prevent indigenous culture from the mountains to get wiped out by the tide of commercial influx.
Trenton Art Fair Shooting and my Otherness
...I was their primary contact, and my face was brown. The deep divide among the people of NJ and other parts of the country, makes artists suffer and defeats the purpose of art itself. My hope is that if there is a single purpose to this financially decrepit pursuit, that is art, it will be that of inclusion.
Natraaj, Tallur and the Cosmic Soup
The organized expression of spirituality is religion, which always depends on cultural and historical context. Unfortunately, religion often ossifies and the teachings are expressed as dogma; experience is replaced by faith. You have to believe; you don’t have to experience. These religions, all over the world, also align themselves with politics and very often with right-wing politics."

Where does the artist play a part in all of this? Historically, he or she does not. His work evolves until it reaches the place where it permeates the psyche of the art lover/ collector, leading to his popularity and spiking price of artworks! Hence we view with bewilderment Picasso’s early works of forlorn realistic faces, Gerard Richter's early portraits as if in motion with blurry borders, perhaps suggesting the temporality of a situation, and Warhol’s early portraits such as the one of Elvis capturing the movements of a rock star and sold for chump change of $30M and wonder what carved the journey of these artists?! Until such time that the artist himself smartens up to the machinations of marketing and blasts his audience with mass-produced dots, I’m not naming names here!
