Basant and talks about inventions that move generations…

The most important invention in your lifetime is…

Hey…

I hope all of you are doing well..!

6th of February and a Friday;

Most of the people on the other side of the Panjab now called Pakistan are celebrating Basant…

Where kites are flown and people celebrate the end of winter and welcome the spring that is upon us all;

Worshipping goddess Saraswati and wear yellow clothes, make yellow rice(sweet) and flying kites…!

And after and 18 year ban on kite flying in Lahore, Pakistan was lifted this year we have seen people gathered to fly kites and to my astonishment,

I saw rooftops for rent for a couple of hours in Lahore as they removed their solar panels and the rates are going from a few lakhs to 25 lakhs for the rooftops…!

An astonishing thing to hear and see…!

Anyway happy Basant panchmi to those who are celebrating…!

Coming back to the prompt

Most important invention in my lifetime…

There are many things that came up within my lifetime…

One of the most important things are smartphones and the Internet…!

Also,

The worlwide web being the source which helps me to be connected to the world…!

If it weren’t for the web I wouldn’t have developed and nurtured to be the person who I am today;

because a lot of things that I research and think made me who I am today and web made it happen as the information that I needed was readily available at my fingertips…!

And my phones how can I ever forget them, these help me upload all of the things that come to my mind making it one of the most important things that help me note and save all the thoughts that come to my mind; also stay connected to the world in a way of direct and video calls…!

The new and upcoming craze of electric vehicles is something that happened within my lifetimes as many people are adopting the shift and it helps the nature too but we can’t ignore the fact that a very major chunk of pollution is generated by the extremely wealthy as they use planes and such to travel even short distances emitting more pollution than an average person would in their whole lifetime…

Now that is something that grinds my gears…!

Cheers 🥂

Love Waakiye 🤍

    You’ve written this really beautifully. The way you connected Basant with culture across borders genuinely touched me. And what you said about the internet and smartphones is so relatable we’ve honestly become who we are because of what we’ve read, learned, and explored online. Your point about EVs is spot on too. Change is important, but ignoring where most pollution actually comes from feels hypocritical. Overall, it’s thoughtful, aware, and very you. I really enjoyed reading it it made me think.
