Human begins, a vast  majority of them ( 90% or more) are constantly trying to survive . With their hopes and aspirations or  with the mere task of managing couple of meals per day. They live by the day. Few have the time or the intrest for statecraft, governance, rights , equality and thus democracy. At most religion occupies their left over time. Education is only for survival and not for knowledge and wisdom.  It's the nature of people then to be led, told what to do, what to think and what to beleive, whom to trust and whom to hate, what is right and wrong.  They leave all this  to those who lead them. So its easy for  those like Trump, Modi, Putin, Netanyahu, Khameni, Jihadis, Taliban, RSS, Maoists, khlu klax kan and the likes to   control peoole. The Trump and Modi Bhakts, the islamists, the christian extreme right, the Jews and many,  are led like cattle and they follow! A huge mass of humans, across continents, act like zombies and ar...

 Someone posted some Gyan! Saying if you do 1% better everyday, in small increments and deeds, you will be reaching your goals!  Set me analysing it. Here are my thoughts on a lazy cloudy  saturday: The 1% better or improvements would tantamount to perfection i.e 100% in 100 days. You get to be where no human has been before. On the frontiers of being God himself. You may even replace Him as he too would not be 100% perfect, considering the mess He has created.  The problem with this approach is, however, multifold.  Firstly, there could be days where you slip 1% or even more. For example, the wife   may frequently  consider you useless!! So this means many more days than 100 to reach 100%. Secondly, as you reach closer to 100%, what physicists call as asymtotically approach 100%, the going gets tougher and tougher. You may never reach 100% Thirdly, Gods do not like competition.Remember King Mahabali, the most perfect King who ruled Kerala? Gods d...

 Food for thought in a idle week end  Jesus, son of Marry and from Nasertth, may his mercifullness  bless us,   was sent by the  Christian God to purify humans.  Allah, have mercy on us, sent one prophet, Mohammed, from Mecca, to purify Muslims.  Buddha and Mahaveera were humans and they did not have a God, but was there to purify humans...and so on. Now, Hindus are tough, not easy to purify. It has likes of you and me!!!  So Gods had to send or come themself,  as humans. Krishna, Ram, Hanuman and over a score and twenty, to try and purify Hindus. These Hindu Gods were insightful..  no half measures for them.... carpet bomb and hope the humans Hindus get purified.  Result of all these  attempts by the various Gods of all relgions are there to see , right in front of us.   Boss, create tho Kiya,  sambalna mushkil hai!! Kuch Naya tarika nikalo bhai. Jaldi...hurry up ji.

 A new rouge state?   Who would have thought that one day the US of A will be on the way to becoming a rouge state? The US had taken the mantel of establishing democracy across the world, post WW2. While that was the pretext,  the real intent was to gain moral high ground and subtly spread American influence everywhere, oppose the USSR/ Russia and later China.  That phase has outlived it's utility  now and other nations have become powerful and smarter. American military might is now not good enough as the opponets too have  similar weapons America's  inability  to take in war  based loss of lives or casualty. Erosion of their economic clout. All these have left the US with few options.  So now with a Bully in office and his dislike for lawful institutions, would mean that the US  will drop all pretensions and use might, at some cost. To act as a state that does not  respect international law or the  UN charter ( whic...

  THE LONAVALA DAYS A nice bloke he was. Lady wealth always at his side, he traversed life as there was nothing else to it than wine and dine with his fairies. He was clever at making everyone believe his hard work and brilliant marketing insights, kept the organization ticking. He truly had perfected his immense charm and skills to bowl the maidens over. Both at home and office. One of the few good things that he did, this nice bloke, a colleague of mine, was inviting us to his holiday home in Lonavala often. Off we used to go on a Friday weekend. The drive of couple of hours, laid the foundation of great expectation. These were rare occasions for him as none of the fair maidens were with him. Rest of us kind of being the occasional punishment given to him by goddess Venus. The ancestral house, designed elegantly and decently kept, say amid a similar one of his cousins and among trees and plants all around. Thick and green. A functioning kitchen which your truly was assigne...
