Black and White, Color, and Life
The color was an attraction point in film photography.
We learned silver halide photography in our college during the late 1980s. We had enough black-and-white photography practices in the hostels. We got access to color photography much later. Color photographic processing was complex. Slight changes in the processing chemicals would result in drastic changes in color reproduction.
Now AI tools convert black & white movies into color.
The other day I found an AI research group reproduced color tones to a two-minute clip of the movie "Pather Panchali" by world-famous film director Satyajit Ray.
I won't discriminate against the original black-and-white version of "Pather Panchali" because of "no color." Instead, I will always prefer to watch the original black-and-white movie.
We are naturally good, as mother nature has made us.
The question of skin color arose when I applied for professional society membership.
I first encountered the question of my skin color in 1990 while applying for membership in an international professional society, namely the Optical Society of America.
An item in the membership form of the Optical Society of America asked about the color of skin (black/white /colored).
I asked one of my professors for a suitable answer to this question. He had advised me to keep the item blank.
I sent the membership form and the requisite bank draft without filling in any response to this question.
After many years (I forgot when), the Optical Society of America removed that question from the membership format.
The question of religion arose when I applied for a job.
Long ago, there used to be an item, "Religion," in the job formats in our country.
It is irrelevant information for a professional career. But we Indians needed to enter that for many years.
Fortunately, that type of question has been removed for many years.
Religion, race, or caste are something we (humans) created to discriminate/unite people for different purposes, which are mostly not necessary for living.
Life is more important than religion, race, color, and ethnicity.
<> Life is a gift from one or many super creators of the universe.
We know that life is more important than our color, religion, ethnicity, and race.
We have not seen the super creator(s) but can feel the creation day and night.
We can learn why "the sky is so blue." It is science.
We can understand why some roses are red and some are white.
We can enjoy watching the colorful wings of the butterflies.
We can enjoy the diverse cultures around the globe.
Unleash the power of the Internet and social media to celebrate unity and friendship
The time is not good in terms of jobs and the economy.
People beyond countries and borders should only think positively.
All negativity must be avoided.
We must keep our cool.
Utilize the resources to improve self-care and cleanliness and strengthen immunity.
The political powers must maintain a balance between thoughts and actions.
Unleash the power of the Internet and social media to celebrate unity and friendship.
For humanity's sake, please join hands to defeat all kinds of racism
Discriminating against humans is racism.
Discriminating by skin color is racism.
Discriminaing by language is racism.
Discriminating by country is racism.
Discriminating by religion is racism.
Discriminating by ethnicity is racism.
Discrimination by gender and age is racism.
Discriminating by wealth is racism.
Please stop all sorts of racism.
