They say a lot can happen over a cup of coffee. A lot can be discussed over a cup of tea, too. We all do it and all did it. Mostly starting in our college canteen and then moving on into professional life. Every tea break becomes a hot bed for discussions and debates. But there is something different about the tea breaks with me present team. Specially with Deep da.
The discussions are no more bound to the small events in day to day life or local and at best national political events. The options are varied and spread into a wider region of philosophy, economy and socio-political conditions of the entire human civilization as a whole. The debates are much more open ended and topics are much more global. And dear me! this is fun!
Just yesterday our discussions began with a normal topic of inflation and rise in price, leading to discuss the actual interest and reason behind growth in various economy and what drives this growth. Soon Energy was the major topic on the board and by energy we all now mean petroleum. Thus the philosophical aspects came into play over what the whole economy of the world is being governed and contradicting each other. Finally the global position of the super powers and whether there would be a third world war, if any, and for what reason!
A conclusion was drawn that the limitation of petroleum not being infinite and estimating it will finish over some 10-15 years at this massive rate of consumption, if there is not any new source of energy that can replace petroleum, very soon the world will see a move towards a war of resources. And here comes the position of US to occupy the gulf (petrol bunkers), to counter Russia on the equation of who has the oil when it's needed. Finally, we all unanimously agreed to the fact that a decline of petroleum will not really result into a war as we need to petroleum to fight a war, too! That means with the end of the petroleum era we might see a new global cooperative economy or utter distraction of humankind.
So it was deduced that we have around 10 year to enjoy fully before we might start having those changes, safely speaking. We might not even see the changes in our life time, too!
So, it's your decision now on how you spend those 10 years :P
