Hi Friends,

Even as I launch this today ( my 80th Birthday ), I realize that there is yet so much to say and do. There is just no time to look back, no time to wonder,"Will anyone read these pages?"

Once again today, I visited  mistryland site but could not find your CONTACT US link. I am hoping this mail reaches you

Dear Pranav,

 

 

When you were with NEON, I sent you ( and to Bob Lian ), a few emails

 

Then after reading your Linkedin post 3 days back, I posted following comments :

 

 

Pranav,

Congratulations - and wish you best of luck in your new venture

A few minutes ago, I tried looking up https://www.mistryland.com/

but could only open one section ( DHUN ) . Even " Join / Contact Us " did not open .

Do let me know ( hcp@RecruitGuru.com ), how to reach you.

Would like to meet you in person ( for a METAVERSE project database available with me ), if you are in Mumbai ( being 88 + years, I am not able to take up a journey outside Mumbai )

I have a few ideas / concepts ( in line with your new mission ) , that I would like to share with you

with regards,

Since I am not sure whether you got to read this comment or not, I thought of this email

Dear Bob,

 

Last week, I registered on website “ My Heritage “ and created ( from handwritten records maintained by my father – who expired in 1972 ), a PAREKH FAMILY TREE , comprising 250 members

 

That TREE begins with my ancestor VASTA and runs down 18 generations ( approx. 450 years ? ) all the way down to my great grand son !

 

I don’t know if you can see it but here is a link :

 

https://www.myheritage.com/site-family-tree-868659281/parekh

 

This site is also integrated with DEEP NOSTALGIA , which enables me to pick a black and white photo ( even blurry ) of a deceased  family member , colorize it and then, with one click , ANIMATE it into a 10 seconds VIDEO !

 

It is simply amazing !

Dear Pranav,

 

 

Thanks for this update

 

I also looked up a couple of videos re: NEON on Youtube

 

I understand “ My Neon “ will not be available for general public till 2022

 

I hope, I am still around till then ( I will complete 88 in June next )  [  TIMING IS RIGHT – I AM RUNNING OUT OF TIME – due to CABG-HERPES-UTI-BP ]

 

I thoroughly appreciate that you are currently focusing on B2B segment , in order to generate some revenue

 

But here is a suggestion for your consideration :

 

You will need a huge amount of “ Personal Content “ ( of some human being ) for trial and error, during the development of “ My Neon “ – may be the “ Life History “ of that human, recorded as “ Digital Content “ , over a period of 50 / 70 years

 

You will find such content about myself at :

 

www.hemenparekh.in

 

{ I just got printed 3 volumes of my poems – Gujarati – Hindi – English  / whose 636 Video-Audio recital, in my own voice, you can find by searching in Youtube , “ Hemen Parekh Videos “ – including an 18 minute video of my marriage, 61 years ago !

 

https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=hemen+parekh

 

 

You can use my DATA/CONTENT as some kind of “ Starting – but genuine – Inputs “ for development of My Neon [ YOU CANNOT FIND A BETTER FIT SUBJECT ]

After sending you following mail , I viewed / listened to a few of your video-talks on Youtube ( CES 2019 / CES 2020 / Kochi talk / https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xo0ho0BnpOI )

 

 

In the last video in Gujarati ( link above / ટેક્નિકલ દુનિયાનો બાદશાહ પ્રણવ મિસ્ત્રી ), the narrator says :

 

 

“ Pranav wants to solve a myriad problems faced by India and is waiting for an invitation from PM Shri Narendra Modi – who , he greatly respects “

 

 

If I had any access to NaMo, I would have certainly spoken to him !

Dear Pranav,

 

 

I wonder if my following mail reached you

 

In the meantime , I passed another milestone ( 87th birthday ) – and getting weaker and unable to undertake journeys

 

Can you help me create my VIRTUAL AVATAR , using your CORE R3 technology ?

 

That would enable my avatar to visit my 2 older bedridden sisters ( 91 and 94 ) , living 500 km away from Mumbai

 

On my website ( www.hemenparekh.in  )  , I  have uploaded :

 

Ø   2140 +  blogs

 

Ø  636 Video-recitations of my poems ( Gujarati – Hindi – English ), written over past 70 years

 

 

Ø  600 + handwritten letters ( mostly in Gujarati ) sent to me by relatives / friends over past 50 years

 

Ø  20,000 + pages of NOTES sent by me to colleagues over past 30 years

 

 

Ø  10,000 + pages of REPORTS prepared by me

 

 

Ø  7,000 + E mails sent by me / 1600 + photos etc

 

 

I believe above-mentioned CONTENT would enable you to RECREATE my VIRTUAL PERSONALITY , which can continue to DIALOGUE with my great grand-children in UK , over the coming decades , and give them an insight into the INDIAN SOCIETY as it existed during 20th Century

 

Awaiting your early response

Subject: RE: Congratulations !

 

Dear Pranav,

 

 

Just read your following immensely educating interviews :

Soon information is going to go completely invisible

 

Ø  I’m a desigineer.

 

 

At one place you are quoted :

 

“ Right now, everything in the digital world is derived from the physical world. But it might change in the next generation…….. But in the end, the digital and physical world need not be separate… Information is going to go completely invisible  “

 

In one of my blogs, I wrote :

 

     Parallel to the Theory of Thermodynamics , I would like to propound the

     following  as far as the “ Theory of Information “ is concerned :

 

     

     “  Like Entropy , content keeps growing with each and every human

     interaction , either with other humans or with his environment , and content

     can no longer remain hidden , nor can it be destroyed  “

 

 

At another place , I have written :

 

 

    Technology has advanced so far – and continues to accelerate even faster –

     that it is possible to treat “ Content ( personal  / private data ) “ like an air

     molecule , which keeps travelling freely around the earth and gets inhaled a

     trillion times ( content consumption ) by a billion humans 

 

     With the arrival of Quantum Computing , it will soon become possible for the

     same content ( personal / private data ) , to exist simultaneously at multiple

     places , but in differing formats

 

 

     A “ Text Posting “ on Facebook may well appear on different media as

     Voice  or  Image  or  Smell  or  Touch !

 

    At the rate at which data is getting generated / transmitted / transformed / mutated / migrated /

   consumed , by 7 billion citizens of the World, all without their knowledge or permission , is it at all

    possible to even “ define “ what is DATA ( and what is not ) , much less possible to “ protect /

    confine “ it in any manner  ?

 

 

 

    Is it possible that “ indestructability “ of  Data renders futile all questions as to its “ Beginning /

    Origin “   or  its “ End “ ?

Dear Pranav,

 

 

At the outset , Congratulations for giving a ( virtual ) birth to NEON humans

 

A couple of days back , I did send to you, a message through your twitter page

 

I wondered :

 

[ A ]

 

Could NEON someday help old / sick / lonely persons , by listening to them and replying to them ( very sympathetically / emotionally / supportively ) , as I have described in :

Share - Your - Soul 

{  I have a vested interest , being 86 years old and almost confined to my home for past 10 months, due to HERPES attack }

[ B ]

Today, there are about 7.5 Billion humans in the world . Of these , may be a million could afford to pay you, a subscription for availing NEON services . Would not that make NEON , a help, for only the rich ?   Will , NEON be available someday to entire humanity ?

[ C ]

Will NEON humans ( - in course of time, there will be millions ), be free from human emotions of Kaam – Krodh – Lobh – Moh – Mad and Matsar ?

Can they become ARIHANT and defeat terrorism , as envisaged by me in :

Faith Renewed in ARIHANT
