A Global Mindset

 What does that mean? Probably means that you could function equally well, no matter where you lived -of course, given time to adapt to local language, conditions. It's the mindset that enables you to do so.

I may choose to live in one place, but treat people from around the world as the same, like me. I don't look down on anyone that is economically or socially less fortunate, nor look up to the Rich man or a King or a Lord (or a President).

This is tough to bring about, due to many kinds of conditioning we have had. There are a few souls who have demonstrated that it's possible. J. Krishnamurti and Osho, Gandhi and Nelson Mandela come to mind. I am sure there are common citizens not as well-known as they were also, in all parts of the world. 

If we could propagate the idea that all humans are valuable and equal in practice, the world might truly be a better place. Wouldn't it?

My Own Ideas of a Referendum

First, let me get my plurals straight. Is the plural of referendum referenda, or referendii, or some something else? Whatever..let's assume it's 'referenda' and proceed. These are the following referenda I can see coming in the near future (not being an astrologer, I can't see too far, you see)..

1. Referendum on whether Kolhapuri cuisine is hotter Saoji cuisine.

2. Referendum on whether the new IIMs should be in a city with a population more than 5 lakhs, and number of businesses in town greater than 5.

3. One on whether humans should colonise Mars or the Moon

4. Referendum on whether Virgin Airlines should do the colonising

5. on Whether the fault lies in our stars, and if so, why there are no starquakes as in 'earthquakes'

6. on whether an airline can be run into the ocean, just like they 'run them into the ground'

7. On whether Candy Crush Saga can be given the status of an Epic

8. On whether Hindi-Chini are bhai bhai again

9. On whether the film industry can survive Salman Khan

10. On whether the Indian cricket team should change its name when they play abroad (MCC and England are sort of precedents for this)
