 The South African Nobel Laureate Archbishop Desmond Tutu describes Ubuntu as:

‘It is the essence of being human. It speaks of the fact that my humanity is caught up and is inextricably bound up in yours. I am human because I belong. It speaks about wholeness, it speaks about compassion. A person with Ubuntu is welcoming, hospitable, warm and generous, willing to share. Such people are open and available to others, willing to be vulnerable, affirming of others, do not feel threatened that others are able and good, for they have a proper self-assurance that comes from knowing that they belong in a greater whole. They know that they are diminished when others are humiliated, diminished when others are oppressed, diminished when others are treated as if they were less than who they are. The quality of Ubuntu gives people resilience, enabling them to survive and emerge still human despite all efforts to dehumanize them.”

TAFFETA | 78

In about 50 years, I might sit on a cloud and look at our world from above! Hopefully everything is fine then!

Looking Back from Future

Once upon a time our world was fearsome - it was populated by some folks
who were convienced that force was needed
for to tame the people in their land
But soon they learned that this is no way to go
And the sun will shine every day and the rain
will rain every night all over the world

The miserable year twenty two a bloody war was raging in the world
but the warlord had realized that it was no point
in slaughtering the people nearby
and furthermore a nasty virus had attacked the whole globe
But the sun will shine every day and the rain
will rain every night all over the world

But now for several years the presidents and the kings are wise
they have noticed that laws are abided 
when democracy rules their land
they now know that wars and hostality make people poor
And the sun will shine every day and the rain
will rain every night all over the world

Approximate translation to Swedish
Om cirka 50 år kommer jag kanske att sitta på ett moln och betrakta vår värld uppifrån! Förhoppningsvis är allt fint då!

Ser tillbaka från framtiden

En gång i tiden var vår värld skrämmande - den var befolkad av vissa människor
som var övertygade om att kraft behövdes
för att tämja folket i deras land
Men snart lärde de sig att det inte är någon väg att gå
Och solen kommer att skina varje dag och regnet
kommer att regna varje natt över hela världen

Det eländiga året tjugo två rasade ett blodigt krig i världen
men krigsherren hade insett att det inte var någon mening
att slakta människorna i närheten
och dessutom hade ett otäckt virus attackerat hela jordklotet
Men solen kommer att skina varje dag och regnet
kommer att regna varje natt över hela världen

Men nu i flera år är presidenterna och kungarna kloka
de har märkt att lagar följs
när demokratin styr deras land
de vet nu att krig och fientlighet gör människor fattiga
Och solen kommer att skina varje dag och regnet
kommer att regna varje natt över hela världen

Looking back from Future

There was an interesting incident  behind this tune of Pattaampoochi.
one day I saw a  butterfly flying  before me at once I composed the  beginning of the tune Pattaampoochi Pattaampoochi  and recorded it. After some days  I saw a  butterfly flying  before me  .This incident reminded the tune which I recorded and I finished the  tune. Mr.Vaarasri  has given the beautiful lyrics to this tune of Pattaampoochi  in a very short time . Gayathri sang the song  and   Kumar recorded the song  at Vishnu Studios   I thank all of my friends who helped me in this   project.
Hope you all enjoy this   Thanks for listening.

Composing skills depend on your ingenuity. The solution to the melody making that I had been worried about was divided into small pieces and distributed in the song. I also fell in love with the huge sound bass I hated. 
　This is the first time I've made a powerful track.
Those who have listening ears as usual may find that they lack mastering skills.
