A saga of an unreasonable mind which never dies…….Obituary to Steve Jobs , the great designer of thinking(written on 8th October 2011 on death of Steve Jobs)

Somewhere I read , its the unreasonable minds which obey no boundary of thinking , the dare dreamers crossing all limit of dreaming who never restrict their imagination by the fencing of limited knowledge , these are those people who push the world forward, give it an extra spin every time with their unsettling innovation. Sometimes I realised that life is always an emergency and tomorrow never comes. Its today and exclusive today which matters and where we can create and recreate the world we like to see as we like. Unreasonable mind , irrepressible determination ,untiring restlessness , unbridled confidence and the sheer arrogance(some called them narcissist innovator) , the magical intuition to understand what you need tomorrow or simply to stimulate the latent , sublime need itself with awesome entrepreneurship to cater to that need , these are those virtues what creates a legacy to be benchmarked being followed by lots of stalwarts in technology , the innovators , tech disruptors or just challenger of the status quo. A rock solid determination and resilience who could incredibly zoom in from biggest concept to smallest details, possessing unbelievable empathy for what customer wants he just relieved the technology from its confinement in the hard coded boundary of possibilities fenced by hi brow techies, the IT geeks. He liberated it for the common people with utter simplicity(although he never encourage open source rather control it from its own epicenter of innovation) yet filled up all those features which neither allow you to peep into (with full abstraction) nor to get rebuffed (as it’s so simple to operate). It was like the curse with eves apple bitten and prone to downfall gets reversed into blessing for human being. In the ill fated 2000s especially in USA (started with twin centre crash followed by internet bubble pricked to the abyss of double dip recession) Apple introduced a series of innovation from iPod in 2001 to iPod in 2010 under his camaraderie .An evangelist with design of thinking as well as managing he never felt stripped of his energy even when the terminal disease kept eating into his physique very fast.We the human being may survive without food for forty days, without water for four days and without air for four minutes but we can never survive a single minute without hope and here was the man who knew how to muster this hope and deliver beyond mere expectation, articulating that salvation of cold comfort for human being in detail, saving the human grace from downfall by eves apple bitten and cursed, reversed it as bliss of human kind ,gave the elegance and meaningfulness of life in detail. It is said  that he never designed any product rather he designed an overwhelming experience with surgical precision from operative system to exhibiting shelves, from selecting his 100 handpicked designer commandoes to hundreds of retail owners he prevailed everywhere. Micromanaging ruthlessly, a never- say- die attitude he just elaborated his philosophy of innovation where today’s little boffins to tomorrow’s successful entrepreneur may relate their vision for future disruption. A life full of abstraction as (he suppressed his diagnosis of cancer for long), yet revealing a detail (when he took to podium while launching newer innovation like iPod 2 or iPhone 3) he is the person who kept the world enthralled with his unrelenting persuasion of newer way to live with cool comfort emancipating it from rigidity of proud possessiveness by techies, he embedded it in his newer products all along his life. Here is his commencement address in Stanford Campus when he first revealed the metastasis of malignant cells in his body while showcasinganother parallel mutation of his ideating grey cells which illuminated the world time and gain afterwards with lots of surprise gifts like iTunes , iPhone then iPad and lastly iCloud.“No one wants to die. Even people who want to go to heaven don’t want to die to get there. And yet death is the destination we all share. No one has ever escaped it. And that is as it should be, because death is very likely the single best invention of life. It’s life’s change agent; it clears out the old to make way for the new. Right now, the new is you. But someday, not too long from now, you will gradually become the old and be cleared away. Sorry to be so dramatic, but it’s quite true. Your time is limited, so don’t waste it living someone else’s life. Don’t be trapped by dogma, which is living with the results of other people’s thinking. Don’t let the noise of others’ opinions drown out your own inner voice, heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become”Yes the death is the only change agent of life which keeps on catharsis at every phase of innovation. You never try to reconcile with it rather you recognise it as big opportunity to do whatever you want to do right now without waiting for tomorrow. Steve passed way but his legacy will linger as long as the humanity will keep enjoying the technology in its different avatars.
