The term "intellectual" is loosing it's sheen and relevence. Learning was an ordeal job. You run for information, take piece of paper to scribble , memorize, store the tales by cutting and preserving them, listen to aired programmes with rapt attention so that you dont loose out a piece of talk on mind matters, run to the libraries to grab much circulated popular books, buy a telugu magazine to look for translated versions of classics, quotes , sometimes biographies .Great learning had it's value. People were respected, held in high esteem.
Now, learning is only a button away. Gates are opened to whole new world, sometimes wanted, at times un wanted. You do not have to toil to know a thing. Should the people of bygone era envy the generation which is learning without shedding a a drop of sweat ? Or dismiss it as instant and epheremeral as there is always a hard disc to store it. Should any body truely committed to memorise it?
The rise of intellectuality is truely prolific. Every where you find a brainy, who really can speak for himself. It is no more a property of some. Intelligence is redefined. quality is more valued than quantity. Knowledge is singularly is respected when it is aptly pronounced.With what intensity you can delve into things matters most.
There is also extension of this truth. Every segment, community, has a pool of brains, who can vociferously defend their interests. Even the terrorists have a think tank. Very convincing arguments can be put forward to camouflage crude intention. Reasons can be contrieved. Beware of this intellectual aggression. Let the sense of natural justice prevail. . Bravo ! Never let yourself off !!
