The world is moving ahead driven by speed and novelty. There is total explosion in the scale and scope of what we do and how we do it. At the same time, we still breathe at the same pace and still take nine months to come out of the womb. The fact remains that we are human beings with untapped potential struggling to touch the sky in a volatile scenario.
