Web of bondage! It has been a great topic of discussion between the materialists and spiritualists. Much as the spiritual guys will crib and advise against mankind's fruitless run after the so called 'physical fruits of bondage', the materialists on their part do have apparently justified arguments of this being the logical conclusion of the very story of our evolution and growth. With my limited perceptions, I look at the physical world as a sort of cozy room sheltering you from bad weather elements--your den that closes your being and gives it a physical identity. If the spiritualists call it a web of bondage which stops my soul shooting off into the hitherto undefined cosmos, then I am pretty much comfortable with this. Deprived of all the physical confines around me, I will just feel like a tiny speck open to the infinite risks looming around in only God knows what directions. My room, my set of comforts gives me a direction. I am pretty comfortable with that. I am its maker. It gives me a sense of pride for creating something out of nothing.Yes I do see through its windows that there is a larger meaning beyond the self-derived confines of the walls of my room. The feeble, but steady, light of faith tells and ensures me at least this much. But I am a human being. And pretty much in love with my identity and roof. If the spiritualists take pot-shots at me, I can just give them one humble and practical promise--I will try to raise the ceilings of my room to allow more of space of which they are so possessive. But I will retain the cozy confines of my room, my material bondage. Because that is being human! Its good to be materialistic as long as my soul can take comfortable slumber in my room; as long as I do not steal from others’ rooms; as long as I do not throw mudslings at others' rooms. One more logic, how can I walk the tightrope to infinity in the cosmic womb, unless I steady myself at a point with the bamboo of the physical fruits of my labour? It’s just like traveling in your car. The journey might be into the unchartered corridors of space, but you need a shelter, a roof. I am happy with the materialistic room around me. It defines this phase of my evolution. Without it I will be lost.

Can Indian Government's population policy be freed from political compulsions??
Kazakhstan, almost as big as
India, has a population of just 1.9 crore. Luckily for them, and terribly
unlucky for us, the population of this similar-sized country is even less than the
Delhi NCR. From personal experience, I cannot recall a single stressed out,
worried, strained Kazak face across all age, classes and categories. In
contrast, I can hardly see a fully healthy face—even among teenagers—in the
frenzied Delhi Mob or anywhere else in India. Interpretation is simple: in
congested ant swarms you cannot expect healthy, confident, strong-willed individuals.
You find robust grass grazers like rhino in undisturbed, undulating pastures.
In the terribly congested stinking lanes of a place like old Delhi bazaars you
see a sea of pathetically beaten down people carrying out their day to day
survival fight. Here humans can beat even famished stray dogs in pathetic
appearances.
Indians have bred like
anything. Especially Muslims are paranoid about adding to their population.
Unfortunately Islam came to be interpreted in terms of quantification only. Of
course Islamic frenzy has multiplied their population world over. However, look
at the quality of human beings they produce! Look at their contribution to
world culture, peace, innovation, etc. Of course, it leaves much to be desired
about their contribution to make this world a better place. Rampant Islamic
quantification contributes more to world disharmony, and its role in world
peace is almost negligible. It is high time that we pay a bit less lip service
to the hypothetical Godly status to the so call democratic clauses in Indian
constitution that have done more harm to India as a country in return of just inconsequential
praise and tiny certification of being a good democracy. Central government has
to come out of that pit of idealist secularism and devise some direct and
indirect means of checking rampant Muslim population.
Look at the nature, only the
weakest species have the largest numbers. Hindus also have their big role in
breeding like ant swarms. Centuries old beliefs like the necessity of marriage,
goddamned requirement of possessing a male heir, etc., have meant that Indians force
themselves to just add to their species at any cost. I have a friend who can
barely provide even basic education to his two daughters, but he has to have a
male heir. Indian poor class does not produce more and more children to get
more helping hands in traditional business and occupations. Ask any poor
couple, do they expect help from their children once they grow up. Not many
will be found to be optimistic about their future. In fact majority will agree
that their position will come down after having more and more children. Still
they produce. Strange!!!! Poor people produce children while caught in a
strange apathy, a peculiar indifference, absent-mindedness. Indian political
class has glorified poverty by paying lip service in the form of so many
fucking social assistance services. These measures were never intended to
remove poverty by raising people out of the pit by providing them concrete
skills. These were just limited to providing them meals like you give charity
to a poor beggar. Do not hate the poor, but of course we can hate poverty that
kills the soul of a human being. Let poor people face the music if they produce
children beyond their economic means to provide them a decent life. Do not just
give 25 Kg grain to BPL section so that they carelessly add more mouths in
their hut to chuck it out. Let all social benefit schemes be strictly
conditioned in proportion to the number of kids they are having.
Sum and summary is
that we need to check population at any rate. Otherwise we will spoil the
chances of taking India to decent position in terms of social development. Not
only this, we will also spoil the environment anywhere we settle.

Ohoi corporate
In
the bookish, stuffy, insecure interiors, infested with poor little clerically
educated funny Indians, of a publishing multinational company in Delhi, a
farty, gayish, woman-bodied poor man sticks to his chair for almost a decade!
His eligibility and skills: poisoning the ears of a bigger bitch who herself
has God knows what means used to reach that departmental head position; giving
negative feedbacks about his talented juniors; nurturing a servile intern
because new joiners are not threat to his position; etc. One thing is clear,
Indian corporate is infested with bottom-licking, non-creative, semi-skilled
managers who are the products of a very poor system of education that just puts
clerical eligibility in their little poor Indian brains. With severe leadership
and team-building limitations, these insecure funny middle level managers, just
think 24 hour a day to plot and scheme and strategize against any potential
threat to their position. Unluckily Indian corporate is infested with
semi-skilled insecure bosses who stink with their poor ass in their positions
just by swiping away the careers of real hard-working subordinates. This
particular poor little creature is barely a man in a woman-type body: A
terribly vindictive poor little demon in his indirectly lethal ways. This he
manages by gratifying the ego of a just-saved from spinsterhood, ageing woman.
The latter is yet another perfect example of a vicious, vindictive, scheming
modern ageing filly who knows which thing in her is of professional utility
either physically or mentally. Just like any other poorly informed Indian, this
gang of people with severe technical and editorial limitations also pays
hypothetical lip service to secularism. There is an ever-crying Muslim soul in
the company, who has to shed tears for atrocities on Muslims, about Modi’s
genocidal plans against Muslims, etc., so all the fools are always supporting
her despite nightmarish professional blunders. By helping her in the job, these
enlightened Hindus think that they are the best secular species around. God
knows when bigger plotters will join this particular publishing company and dismantle
the hideous rein of that poor bitchy female and her gayish, half-woman
subordinate!!!

Why Americans will remain the Lions of the jungle in the present century?
Why Americans will remain the Lions of the jungle in the present century?
Do
you think the chances to succeed and be a leader over fellow humans depend on somebody
being good or bad? Most moralist theoreticians will cast their dye in favour of
‘being good’. Just look at all those who occupy the front ranks of society in terms
of power, influence and money, you will soon realize being ‘good’ or ‘bad’
hardly matters when it comes to these successful social lions. What matters is
the degree of fear, apprehensions, constrictions and restrictions all combining
in an individual uniquely to make him/her weaker or stronger in both mind and
body. Physical wellness runs a step ahead to make an individual stronger at
other levels like in mind, attitude, confidence, etc. We can even summarize
that less fearful means being stronger at various interpretational levels. So
those who course away to distant glories are the ones who fear less, because
they are stronger physically (foremost) and better mentally (mental
interpretations of strength are just a subset of overall physical strength).
Learn
from nature. It has all the clues. It holds all of its secrets in the open. It
does not promote one species over others on the basis of being good or bad. It
is just about the self-evolving scenario of the stronger surpassing the weaker.
Weakest species are most in numbers. But these are also very limited in their
level of participation in the whole drama. Mere numbers does not mean a larger
role in the game. Had it been so, the ants would have ruled the roost in a
forest, not the lion! The weaker a species is, more apprehensive is its each
and every step under the cold, impartial glare of mother nature. Take for
example a mouse. The moment it steps out of its hole, its heart pounding with
uncertainty and fear, its nose twitching to sense danger, its cowering paws
keeping it on tenterhooks! Where is strength; where is surety; where is
determination; where is confidence; where is relaxation? It fears most, because
it is primarily weak at the physical level. In proportion to its weak, fearful
existence, it leads a limited life among few bushes and rat holes. If we move
up, we get dogs, deer, jackals, wolves, etc., all of them having a larger role
in proportion to their degrees of less or more fearful. Look at the lion! Watch
its carefree gait, its confidence, its sure steps, its relaxing persona under
the shade of a tree!! All these are derivatives of its fearlessness, of it
being strong physically. Have a look at the majestic ‘I care a damn’ gait of an
elephant and compare it with thousand deaths a mouse dies the moment it comes
out of its hole. We have the same human variants in social jungle, the social
lions, elephants, mouse, etc., depending on their degree of being less or more
fearful!
Asians
are producing more offspring, Indians and Chinese are doing it, Islamists are
also adding to their stock like anything! Does it mean that with more numbers
in their category, they will dominate! No it cannot be! From what we observe in
nature, it does not look so. Poultry production compromises quality, instills
fear, procreates weaklings, booms and bangs confidence, limits motivation. If
it is not so, deer in larger hordes will roam freely in the jungle. Ever wonder
why Americans, or for that matter Westerners, are hardy bothered about adding
to their numbers. It is about maintaining a standard pedigree. Limited
procreation has maintained a stable, strong, confident stock. And they rule the
roost. Someone might say that with billions of numbers on their side, Indians
and Chinese are acquiring a larger role and significance. They are! But they
are scampering to crowded glory only in the grasslands. At a level where they
can just be suitable paper crowned kings in the thoroughfare set by the top
honchos. American system instills fearlessness in an individual by making them
follow free paths beyond compulsions of conventions and socialized shit. Their
top priority is staying physically fit, follow own path, stay independent,
fearless. They are not bothered about wearing out body and mind just for future
generations like Asians do and have no present at all. They do not have to
carry the burden of conventionalized expectations to lose their present by
being yoked in tiny duties and responsibilities. The former breeds leaders, the
latter just numerous followers. With technological advancement of a few decades
and choice-limited lion-type maintained pedigree, Americans will continue to
run worldly affairs throughout the current century. The rest of the populous
world will have its noisy crowded share of glories in a subordinate world.

What went wrong??
So
the muffler man Kejriwal does what has never been done before! More than
reflecting over his victory, we can reflect over BJP’s set of mistakes.
It
is good to have a smart, suave, presentable Prime Minister. But people will
definitely follow a faded jersey clad muffler man if they find him pitted against
somebody clad in royal clothes. So it was 10 lac suit against 200 INR muffler. Masses in India obviously chose the latter! India after all is a country of struggling,
hungry, ill-clad masses. They sympathize with the underdog. Modi, the tea
seller of the past, garnered sympathy in parliamentary elections. Now it is the
time of muffler man to be made a prince from his castrated status of a mad
lampoon. It was not for nothing that Gandhiji abandoned clothes to mix with the
poorest of the poor. Modi has to look less exclusive! Indian masses are decades
away from their appreciation of style and statement like the Americans appreciate the US First Lady's style.
Never
ever publicly declare your intention to annihilate your enemy. However strong
reason you have to destroy him! The slogan of ‘Congressmukt Bharat’ is catchy,
but injurious. Do your deed, but why repeatedly tell your enemy that you are
going to annihilate him?! Congress is cornered. They know BJP wants to
dismantle the party itself. So what is the option left for them? Their sense of
victory right now can just be to help anybody in defeating BJP. They did it
smartly in Delhi by shifting its votes to AAP’s coffers. They even know that AAP’s
clout will increase at the national level. They are but very much comfortable
with the idea that AAP gets 50 or 60 seats in next Parliamentary elections.
Well and good. They are happy to lead corrupt coalition governments, unlike BJP
that wants a one man show in India. So AAP emerging nationally is a step
towards Congress getting one more partner in a future coalition government.
When
BJP started its all out campaign to wipe out regional outfits, I had this
apprehension that all and sundry political forces, which hitherto did not see
eye to eye, will cling to each other in short term to somehow survive BJP
onslaught. This is what has happened in Delhi assembly elections. Congress,
communists, janta dal, bahujan samaj party all allowed their vote bank to go
under AAP's fold. Result! BJP getting the bitter political pill that will cure
it of its paranoid political fever to color India
politically in just one color! India is strangely unified in teasing
diversities. Those who accommodate these divisions survive, and those who cross
age-old barriers will come against unified opposition from various groups.
Lesson is learnt: You cannot afford to neglect friendly regional forces. Having
regional partners is a sign of your strength and legitimacy, not weakness. It
is not for nothing that America that can singlehandedly wage war against whole
world, still keeps small contingents of troops from friendly small countries! It
adds to the legitimacy of its actions!
Another factor that has put BJP in a shady zone
is a few personas emerging all powerful and manipulative. It makes a party look
aloof from common man, creates apprehensions, puts it in a too lofty position
at which common man looks with insecurity. Hope Modi, Shah, rajnath and gadkari
pull strings in more subtle ways, instead of making it evident in high profile
posturing in media. Let BJP, the party, be at the forefront at least in media! We can have more pictures of
development works accomplished by BJP, and lesser full framed robust pictures
of arrogant Shah walking majestically after press conferences. He can continue
with his string pulling from behind the scenes, but it should not be evident in
media. Amit Shah is also becoming too predictable in that he goes for religious
polarization. He has to pull his strings differently now, and without high
profile posturing in media.
Young
educated part of Indian population is outright against religious rhetoric and
extremist talk and posturing. Have administrators in your cabinet. Saffron clad
jingoistic sadhus and sadhvis can catapult venom from other platforms, but if
they do it from ministerial positions, then even appeased Hindu Gods would not
save you from modern public’s anger.
