New Applicants
Another new applicant, who has already sent in alLof the required materials is Suhit Anantula from India. Suhit_AnantulA.jpg Suhit is really a great guy with a lot of talent, vision, open ears and a desire to make this world a better one. Suhit is working on two fronts. Local indigenous people farming the lands of his own country, and children of the world in need of growing and learning as much as the potential they have been gifted with allows. I have known Suhit for a little time before, as we met, thanks to the visionary mind of Bala Pillai, on the Ryze network. I have felt Suhit to be a young open mind and him to be a great, fast learner. I was not wrong, given his reaction and timing in submitting his application for a Communication Agents seat on this very launch. Suhit, has understood better than anyone else interested in this, what is true value in becoming part of this. He has expressed this very clearly also in his application by writing: 4) What are the practical steps I must take to start moving in my chosen direction? What's involved in terms of earning money, and in terms of time, place, and people? The practical steps which I need to take are: A) Find Like-minded people B) Learn as much as I can about my areas of interest C) Think about my areas and develop "new thoughts" and communicate them to the world D) Entice/partner/complement and work with these like-minded people

A questionnaire by Natalie d'Arbeloff. 1) What do I really want to do and to be in the short term and the long term? The long term goal is to *make a difference*. I plan to do this by being an Entrepreneur - this is the best way I feel I can achieve my goal and make a difference to society. The *now* Goal: Developing the "Ambulance Friendly City" for a Better City-Life A personal experience in my city (Hyderabad,India) in navigating an ambulance is the source of this article. I believe that increasing 'sensitivity' to an Ambulance is a tough job and hence I propose a 'system' solution. The goal is to create information sharing between the participants through networking and deveoping new traffic rules including an 'Ambulance signal'. You can find more on this on this bloki site : afc
    Short term Goals: *India lives in the villages* - Mahatma Gandhi, Swami Vivekananda To develop India by developing "Rural India". ( I will be joining shortly a new project which if successful will achieve this)

    2) What do I really care about? Equality Freedom Peace Love Development (in the sense of Amartya Sen, decreasing the nfreedoms of people) People Value Addition More.... 3) What choices will I make? What things will I let go, and what things will I take up? Start anything through which I can achieve my goals. Keeping in mind that moving out of the comfort zone and taking risks is important. Be part of projects through which I can contribute. I will let go of working for money, apart from the minimum required.I am ready to work for free on some projects. 4) What are the practical steps I must take to start moving in my chosen direction? What's involved in terms of earning money, and in terms of time, place, and people? The practical steps which I need to take are: A) Find Like-minded people B) Learn as much as I can about my areas of interest C) Think about my areas and develop "new thoughts" and communicate them to the world D) Entice/partner/complement and work with these like-minded people
    5) What is one aspect of what I really want to do that I can focus my thinking on and put it into some kind of form? Implementation.
    6) What can I do so that all along the way I respond to whatever life presents me with, in the best way I can? A journey of a thousand miles should start with a single step! - Lao Tsu Become the Buddha! - I have taken a small step, but that is the ultimate goal.

    Suhit, great move in you turbo-ing yourself to be a Communication Agent. No better person than Robin Good for it.

    I would be especially enthralled if you had in your mind to use the lessons learnt to empower mother-tongue communicators to in turn train other communicators in places like Malaysia.Net, Teleindia.Com, Tamil.Net etc. And next step would be to tie in the product to be printed as newsletters and handed out and faxed out as targetted high-quality "newspapers". The processes to automate this with things like macros etc are there -- we need to grasp them and convey them to self-energising minds.

    cheers../bala

    ... and nice meeting Suhi and Bala, too!

    What I'm gathering from this post is a stronger feeling that what we want is an ... *Environment* ... a Communication Agent Environment, or CAE ??? ...

    If it sounds all right, I'd like to contribute describing what a CAE could start being made of ... in addition to the enabling personal publishing technology Robin has been providing ... and as a guarantee that its potential is not going to be wasted ...

    Ciao, Luigi

    Zig Ziag and Bala:

    Great to see you both here.

    Bala, What you are talking is tremondous - instant generation and distribution of newspaper automatically. Will talk to you and see what exactly you have in mind.

    Zig Zag aka Luigi, If you mean that my creating a CAE you will provide tools and community environment to amplify the affects created by the communicatins agents I will be more than happy to look at it. This will definately complement Robin's overall goal of achieving Social change.

    Suhit,

    after my conversation with Robin I see the possibility of a self-creating CAE, based upon the ideas brought forward by contributors like Bala and yourself. I would be happy to help prospective CAE users to become aware and live by those ideas!
