population n space
u know with the growing speed of our population... there will soon be a day when we wont have lands under our feet to stand on. when my dad came to siliguri... it was all jungle. the cost of land then was as low as free. he bought enough of them. enough for his 5 children. but now you hardly get to see free land. go out to buy one... you wont find much. choice is very limited. and if you wanna buy your selected land... you will have to loose some huge bugs.
There are still places.. like siliguri was 40 years ago. but their number is a very few... and the number of people like my father is very very high now. there is not many free land. and every year we loose some land to oceans through floods and tsunamis etc.
what will happen when every inch of land has a stamp of its owner on it. what will happen to our coming generations... wont they have a property of their own. wont they have dreams of 'having their own home on their own lands'.
dreams never end... yes my future generations will dream of 'having their own house' and ' having their own property'. 'property' not necessarily means land. more important than land in the earth there is another thing called "space". the basic dream of every individual is of having 'their own space' and not 'their own land'.
how many floors can a buliding have. there is a limit right? yes. even that will end. what after that?
Here is the answer......
we have underground stations, markets etc... so why not underground cities? that is possible right!
we can fly through air. when we go to london from delhi... it takes 1 hour. that is, we stay in air for 1 hour. why cant we stay in the air longer. we can... how long ... lifetime? yes that is possible.
we have under sea trains. so we can have under sea cities? evrything is possible isnt it?
when we enter a buliding we locate ourselves as we are in 2nd floor or 3rd floor of the buliding. there will be a day when we will be walking on the road, talking to our friend on the mobile telling him that i am in 5th layer or zone of earth, where are you?
automobiles will be an extinct feature, planes will be used to move around. if there will be automobiles, buliding walls will be used as roads. we will have evrything then, but we will miss somehthing... thats NATURE. Nature will be absent. we will be living in an artificial world. but one part of nature will always be there. WE, the people. there will be people walking under you, above you, along with you. there will be people everywhere. first nature created people, and then we kill nature to accomadate more people. i fear we will have to pay for this. we are heading for a disaster... a very big disaster. u know this but you cant stop this.
