CLOUD BURSTING
By
Remote Control.
Fact or Fiction?
Hats off to our electronic media. It often puts up a poser , accompanied by several contemporary data, to inundate its viewers in quest of some issue without a visible solution.
This time, an alert has been sounded as regards the growing menace of cloud burstings. Not only the Himalayan region, but even mumbai has been its victim. And all that we have done so far is to curse our fate besides cursing faulty planing, seen as major reason for inviting nature's ire.
But all through the telecast, my mind was focused elsewhere, on a fiction which I had read with deep interest some years ago, travelling. Authored by my favourite novelist, Sidney Sheldon, the fiction, a semi- science fiction, so to say, today seem a reality materialised.
Doomsday Conspiracy, if I am not wrong, is that fiction, which one may go through. Sidney Sheldon, now no more, is one and the only writer, perhaps, whom his readers would give at least one credit, that once you read through his first fifty pages, if not less, you can not afford to stay short of finishing it off.
So if you happen to try it, or if having already read it some years back, if you retry it, just give a serious thought to the idea projected therein.
Rather than cursing the nature or blaming ourselves for violating the rules of nature, it may serve a better cause if it is found out whether cloud bursting can be man made, technologically triggered by remote control from our neighbourhood?
It is for our scientists to say whether such technology exists, more so, in the captivity of the emerging world power which has already taken the consumer market in its complete captivity, especially in India. So much so that there hardy exists any segment in the IT field which can claim to be any exception.
So hurry up. Start a bona Gide search. Not a silent one. With all the hue cry that people's voice may produce, for sooner or later fictions often give us surprises, materialising into fact- incredible, unbelievable.
