GLOBAL WARMING...AH..AH... GLOBAL COOLING !!

After much hullabaloo about the global warming, suddenly certain cult in scientists are working day and night on a new situation, which is really uncalled for in the recent times. These scientists are now fearing an absolute opposite, for what they have holding the entire world for ransom, to global warming. There are few mummers which has started recently about the global cooling and approaching ice age.

The two paradoxical views have really put earthlings like me on tenterhooks. People are unable to understand what to go for. Global warming or global cooling. Actually the people in the scientific fraternity around the world are seems to be confused. They are not able to make up their own mind about the whole thing. First they started yelling at the change in the climatic conditions, consequent to global warming and green house gases, but recently they have changed their tracks. They have started to tell the people of this world, stunned by the degree of winter in Europe, America and even Asia, that we are about to face global cooling !!!!

The unprecedented cold wave has griped the entire globe and the people all around the world are really worried about what could be for humans in store by the nature. So where we are heading from here ?

We were made to believe that global warming will destroy the Earth. The atmosphere will heat up due to depleting ozone layer, which does not allow the green house gases, produced on the Earth, to escape the earth's atmosphere as well as while the ultra-violet rays that come from the outer space, are absorbed by the ozone layer, has had a big hole in it. So all the ultra-violet rays, especially from Sun, could directly hit the Earth and could cause great danger to living objects on the Earth.

But such theories are not easy to forget, even if, we start to think about the global cooling or the approaching ice-age. Scientists believe that the Earth temperature rotates in opposite direction approximately after every 25 years. So for 25 years Earth keeps on heating up and next 25 years it will be cooling off its surfaces and the atmosphere. Such claims and counter-claims keep on hitting the news every now & then, and confuses people, like me and all other who are trying to be little conscious about our environment!

One research report advised that we should at least drink 3 cups of tea everyday, so that we can avoid stroke and live longer but the other day one which followed the first one after few months, claimed the drinking tea could be disastrous for the health as the content in the tea once boiled, could damage liver and one should avoid it for the keeping good in health !!! You should drink coffee instead !!!!

Such claims and counter claims make a commoner, like me utterly confused about the whole scenario. In the year 1996-97, I was virtually made to panic about continuous bombardment about Y2K hype, where I even feared entering an elevator, fearing it might go haywire. It was said that computer chip had only two spaces for the year. In the year 2000, the chip will read it as 1900, or even 1800 or anything. Which will lead to malfunctioning of all the equipments which used the microchip, and read the dates, like normal personal computer. It all lasted till the year 2000.

The hype created & generated millions of jobs and earned profits in billions to big corporates, who claimed to have solutions. Nothing happened. Life was normal. Nothing failed for the lack of 4 digits in the chip. All those benefited were Microsoft, IBM and other giant software manufacturers, who chipped in to help the frightened masses.

Now look at swine flu. God only knows, how it caught the attention of the world. It became such an event in India, that a single death due to swine flu could topple a government! The awareness it created was so mammoth that the swine flu bacteria must have thought of choosing a wrong time in entering India.

The hype was such that the Chief Minister of Maharashtra, Prime Minister of India and all other officials in their capacity made noises. It was made out to be a big, very big crisis befallen on India. Everybody in the country was worried about swine flu. I started to fear for my self while my daily run to my office in Mumbai's crowded local train. Though I did not purchase any mask, but had watched many people wearing the same for fear of getting caught by swine flu.

So it is the era of media and media created hype. It is so fast and works at lightening speed that the people like me find it really hard to adjust to what is happening around us. Before I could adjust to what is happening, the hype knocks me down and there are people around who feels like the same! before our poorly fed mind can adjust and try and work out the right or wrong out of the facts made available to us, something new comes up and grabs our attention.

Before I could calculate the loss which we might have had incurred on the Common Wealth Games, due to heaviest doses of corruptions, a pedestrian bridge collapsed. Before we come to the terms with it, a new one got built by the army and it was much stronger and much quicker to build. What baffled me was why in the world army was not involved in making CWG 2010 a success. Because they do have some sort of discipline left in India. It remains still a largest disciplined group of people in India.

Just as I was coming to terms with the army making pedestrian bridge in record time, the CW Games began with sun fare ! The same news reporters who were just a few days back were hammering Suresh Kalmadi for his poor organizational capacity, were all praise for him and ability, his dynamic decision making and India's capability to hold the Olympic Games and started a debate making few so-called experts sit in as a experts panel to discuss how India can claim hosting of Olympic Games ! and few offered to become advisers to the Olympic Committee in India to guide them how to become a host nation !!!!!

I wonder sometimes as following these news items is just fooling around myself. There is complete business outlook to anything that happens in the world. The Global warming had benefited many industries all over the globe. A new phenomena of Carbon Credit also introduced and now a Carbon Credit Exchange has also taken place. Several good things did happen as a by-product, but the main beneficiaries were large corporate houses and their bosses. A point of saturation has been achieved in Global Warming phenomena and so the Global Cooling and consequently subsequent ICE AGE ! Again the same old story will start. The Y2K, Global Warming and so and so forth, will go on for years and decades and then for centuries. It will make people to earn their living. I really wish that if all this stupid looking things were not happening around us, we might have been facing starvation. These activities, are making money to change hands , and thus creating wealth all around.

SO LETS START FROM GLOBAL WARMING TOWARDS GLOBAL COOLING AND APPROACHING ICE AGE !!!!

GIVE ME SOME SUN SHINE..GIVE ME SOME RAIN..!!!!

GIVE ME ANOTHER CHANCE TO GROW UP ONCE AGAIN......!!!!!

These are the few lines of a hit song from the film 3 Idiots. The film was one of the most entertaining and must enjoyed by all. It was a good film depicting the story of the three friends and their rendezvous at the Engineering College, touted to be one of the best engineering college in India, as shown in the film. The movie shows a character called JOY, wherein he fails to finish his project, while he was working on something else. The Dean refuses to give him extra time to finish his allotted project. Dean himself calls up the Joy's father saying that his father should not come to city, to attend the convocation his son ,as he will not pass his exams this year. The pressure of failure forces that guy to commit suicide.

The depiction of the feeling of failure and depression of the students was so powerful that few students throughout the country started committing suicide for the fear of failure. It was the craftsmanship of the director of the film, Rajkumar Hirani, who was successful in creating an atmosphere of sympathy towards the that character called JOY and hate towards the system, teachers, principals and parents, who always insisted that children must get the best.

The message here, is something which has gone wrong completely. Children or rather the students have taken it in their own way. All kudos to R. Hirani, who created a master piece and he created a situation where students started to think that the parents or which I will define as COMMUNITY OF ELDERS, which includes their fathers, teachers, principals, tuition teachers or coaching class faculty, or all those who have been insisting that their child or student, whatever may the name or the role as defined.

The children have started to think that this COE is actually their enemy and they are all devils. The situation has worsened so much after the film that any student or child who is not capable of anything, pulls up his sleeve against the COE, who actually speaks for their betterment and wishes that they stay out of the world of depression, they could face, if they are not warned in advance. The young man of today's thinks he can manage the whole show, the way he had been managing his/her mother, manipulating or even blackmailing his father and fooling around with the those who want to get better things out of them.

This community of COE-bashing little think about what they want them to do ! When the parents shout at their child, he wishes that the difficulties in which he survived, does not get repeated with his child. Father is the community, which is highly and very badly affected in entire of this drama. He is always blackmailed by his son/daughter, always forced on knees by his wife for entertaining wishes of his wife to follow the dictates of their child, loosen the pocket for paying all the expenses, related with the studies and all other fantasies of the life.

3 Idiots character of FARHAN, whose father saves money for his son to become engineer, buys an Air Conditioner for him, buys Laptop for his studies, does all that he could do, but the guy in the film has never told his father that he wanted to become a wild life photographer, ever !
The audiences' sympathy was with Farhan, why, I do not understand ! Does the audience and even that Character Farhan, thinks that his father was GOD and knew everything about his aspiration to become wild life photographer ?

What was his father's fault ? He must have known his son from his childhood days, that thsi chap never knows what he actually wanted and for that reason only he had thought that to groom him as an engineer, would be perfectly alright so that he can live his life peacefully and enjoy all the luxuries of the life ! It is logical to think that his father must have thought that way. Was he wrong in his place ?

Mr. Hirani, perhaps, ended up depicting only one side of the story ! he perfectly created sympathy wave for the 3 chaps, who were shown as the guys who always wanted to live their own life ! They were shown as their parents were forcing them to study harder and leave other things in the life.

Imagine, if Rancho was not supposed to have come to the life of the other two guys, who despite the company of Rancho, always were last in the raw for annual photo session ! And Rancho never ever inspired them to learn and study harder. They along with Chatur, were shocked to learn that Rancho stood first in their annual exams !

The children across the country watched this film with fun, and few took it seriously, starting a spate of suicides amongst the students fraternity. That was absolute injustice to those who were in grief due to the suicides. But have any father or mother or teacher committed suicides, when the film showing children go bad in a film and becomes a goon or smuggler or something like that ? Nobody showed the any amount sympathy towards parents when their children failed or did very badly in their exams and they were convinced that their child would be a complete failure !

I agree that few parents make life of their child hell, they need psychological treatment. It is their excessive depression and fear of failure for their child. They indirectly take the child into remand and use different methods of third degree treatment. But how many of them in the entire country ? If they are wrong they must be punished also. Each every parent needs to be cautious about their own child.

Having aspiration for a child and then working on the same aspiration is not abnormal for father or mother or teacher ! It is not a crime to dream about the future of his child. What is wrong if parents are telling their ward to study harder, it will benefit them in their future life.

All during the film, why was not a single child was shown as watching TV serials of Ekta Kapoor, where even a 9 year one says who is going to have an affair with whom ! Why does nobody considers throwing out computers when they are used for chatting, wasting time on Face Book status updates and writing on wall of Orkut ?


Actually the problem is much bigger than it is made to be by the film. The problem has its roots in our subservient attitude. We have been slaves throughout our known History, which is recorded. We have been cultural slaves to the Mughal robbers, which came to India from Turkey and then we were economical slaves to Britishers for more than 150 years. Somewhere down deep in the mind of every Indian this slavery is living and has not died so far. He is so obsessed with the slavery syndrome, that he reviews himself at each and every point to make sure he has not turned into slave! Once assured that he has been saved through his life and has escaped from slavery he starts worrying for his child and what follows with his child is the fear that though he was saved during his life span, but he is not sure about his child so for the whole life he ran for himself first and then started running for his child.

Along with that the generation gap fact has also its role in here. The time has changed and has changed very rapidly. Within a span of 5 years the change is so fast that it becomes depressing sometimes. Parents are not that quick to catch up with their kids. It is high time that the both, parents and kids need to change and understand each other. But it will never happen. Parents will be readied somehow to change but the kids will remain adamant, depressing their parents further and then the tiff follows.

The more stunning and shocking news is coming up, is, the Govt. under pressure (whose ? we are not aware!), are bringing in the law which will prohibit the present centuries old practice of parents/teachers thrashing not-obeying children, in their interest, will now face even imprisonment for doing their duty of preventing an idiot from becoming a goon or a rowdy citizen of this country. These very same policies of USA & EUROPE broke family bond with parents, the same path is chosen by the Govt of India. Govt is wanting to limit the role of parents in career building of a child. It wants more slaves who are clueless and have no motive in their lives as we find Americans and Europeans wandering and finding for peace of their undeveloped and unsupported mind. They do not have the warmth of the family and respectful fear of their parents.

But does the Govt thinks about the imprisoning those idiots who fail to support their parents in their old age, those who humiliate their parents for their so-called share in properties? The Govt's knee-jerk reactions to the problem of suicidal tactics of students needs to be tackled in different manner. Besides the Govt needs to have social securities for the old aged people strengthened before indulging in such issues, where the old people will be left at the mercy of their children !

The entire issue needs much more sincere approach and understanding. The parents are perhaps needs to be blamed for over-doing what they are doing to nurture their child at the same time the children must understand the slavery approach. Their parents want them to retain the freedom to what they wish to do in their life! Such freedom is realized only when they actually experience the freedom. Being on top and deciding decisively about their future, is the freedom that the parents envisage for their children !

The discussion is long and perhaps the solution lies with the everybody and they can contribute by expressing on this particular issue and educate others, solution lies somewhere in between.

GOD BLESS INDIA!! AMERICA IS BLESSED TOO MUCH !!!

The recently released film by Akshay kumar, Khatta MItha, inspired me to write something on this topic. India is perhaps going slowly and steadily towards a stage where it may be called a failed state. If there are changes at the grass root level, we have some chance or anarchy is approaching us. We have been a citizen of a country where we ourselves do not understand where the problem is and of late we are clueless as to where does we start from to start cleaning our system.

The Congress or the BJP, both are different sides of same coin. Nothing changes except the Prime Minister and his stupid and inefficient ministers, even if the people of this country votes in anticipation of the country getting a better deal than the previous government! But the voter's belief gets strength from the fact he faces of not to vote next time! And next time he keeps his promise, NOT TO VOTE!!!!

Thousands of people get killed due to the poisonous gas at Bhopal, 25 years ago. Verdict is delivered now. I firmly believe the delay is not understood and not justified. JUSTICE DELAYED IS JUSTICE DENIED. For some days media started gunning for Anderson, the then CEO of Union Carbide, who was helped by some one from Rajiv Gandhi government. Country knows who was that person, but people like you and me are clueless as to how to bring this people to justice.

Cattle food, which is cheap in India and can feed millions of our cattle, but that was allowed to be exported out of the country leaving our cattle starving while if properly fed our own cattle can feed millions of our country men, cheaply. But our agriculture minister, busy with cricket,IPL ICC Chairmanship and such other high profile stupid things, which require almost no attention. Farmer's in his home state are committing suicides, he is unmoved. His interest is in protecting the State's sugar lobby, where-in he has got his own interest!!

Railway Minister is busy in playing State level politics and she is least bothered if the trains meet accidents, terrorist attacks, derailment, head on collisions, injuries & deaths. She is interested in defeating communists in her State of West Begal. She has no time to solve the problems of the thousands of people who look at railway as their only hope to earn their livelihood. But she has no time to sit with her officials and plan and review strategy. For her railway ministry, she got, because of Congress was supposed to give her that seat out of compulsion. (Manish Tiwariji, where are you? Kindly defend your sleeping partner in the government)

Can Thackeray family reply to why there has been cost escalation on almost all the projects being undertaken at the MMRDA. Why the plans were not made considering the aspects of costs and difficulties like rehabilitation and legal wrangles were never considered! The officials who plan the project are either stupid and live in Utopia or the executors are utterly corrupt. Look around in the country, every where project cost gets more than doubled. And not a single case of punishing the guilty. Nobody has dared to ask the people who are executing the projects. Take any damned project, gets costlier everyday. Bandra-Worli Sealink, Metro Railways, cleaning of Mithi River, Making Chembur Santacruz Link Road or any damned project. They get delayed over years and cost escalates to almost double.

Terrorist and Naxalites are also acting unfair, by killing innocent citizens. They should actually gun down those who are responsible for this state of affairs. We have not heard in the long distant memory that naxals killed some political corrupt leader, who needed to have been killed for his acts of anti-national acts!!

Gujarat Governemtn finds itself their wall to back on Amit Shah's case. But why only Soharabuddin case, why there is no CBI to investigate the Ramesh Keni murder case, where Raj Thackeray is accussed of having killed Keni. There are many more such cases which need to be investigated and which are genuine cases, do not belong to gangster like Soharbuddin, encountered in Gujarat.

All these and many more such events leave me hopeless and I start thinking that country needs a shock! The citizens of this country are sleeping and they will never rise to the occasion! Politicians are just inclined to take the maximum advantage of the oppotunity and power they have got.

The Government itself is in doing business when it sells spectrum for billions of rupees, but do not leave any chance to raise the prices of oil, gas and other petroleum products. The Food & Agriculture Ministry is not read to sell the rotting gains at cheaper prices instead it chooses to allow such grains to rot.

This one of the hopeless scenario of this great Indian Union. Which needs to protect more from within and not by enemy of this country, surrounding the nation. That is why I feel that the God has had been too busy in blessing Americans and in the course of action forgot to bless India. We must request God to leave America for a while and divert his energy towards India...

AFGHANISTAN: NEED TO CHANGE OUR VIEWS !!

Afghanistan President Mr. Karzai's Pakistan State visit could probably soften the official stand of Afghanistan towards Pakistan. The relations could be beginning to improve between the two countries and consequently Pakistan is likely to get more maneuvering space in Afghanistan. Present Afghan Government has had always found, the I.S.I. and the Pakistan government offending to its interests, by supporting Afghan extremists . The sudden change of heart in Afghanistan is obviously scripted by U.S.A. who is envisaging a troops pullout by the end of year 2011.

With such a scenario, all other Governments of these South East Asian countries, could start to envisage a role in the future Afghanistan. India & Pakistan are the primary stake holders in the post-US withdrawal from Afghanistan. The Pakistani government would obviously want India to stay away from the Afghanistan, once the NATO troops are out of South East Asia. Under the pretext of waging joint war against terror with U.S., it is asking for its rewards in form of better placed strategically than India in post -USA withdrawal from Afghanistan.

Though the Americans know it well that they have had been completely fooled by the Pakistanis and they do admit about the same, by various means, and at various platforms, their compulsions are understood. But what India can not understand is the reason.

They are willingly allowing itself to be fooled by the Pakistanis and happily playing to the gallery of Pakistan's role in its war on terror. I really have serious reservations that a country like USA with its military power and the best minds of strategy makers have not realized the fact that the Pakistan have changed course of their operation and subsequently the goal itself. Pakistan establishment with the behavoir of spoilt chaild has forced the US to follow what Pakistan always wanted, from the days of Afghan occupation by the Russian forces. It has very successfully dominated the American mind and surprisingly and logically USA has allowed to be cowed down by Pakistani military establishment.

Pakistan can happily boasts itself in front of those who wished to win the crusade, of having defeated the American design to finish the Islam. This obviously would be their line of claim while dealing with the Islamic militants. I really would doubt that they have ever thought from this perspective.

They have saved Osama Bin Laden, they have helped the Omar to stay underground, despite the mounting USAF Dron attacks. Strategy is simple and have paid off. These militants have stayed out of reach of the allied forces in Afghanistan, at the behest of Pakistani military establishment.

Pakistani perseverance to tide over US pressure on the Taliban forces have now paid off. It has changed the path of Americans very cleverly by continuously buying time for its efforts to save top militants like Osama Bin Laden and likes of Mullah Omar. From the WAR ON TERROR, the war has come to the alliance between the Karzai Government and the Taliban. Taliban will be brought back to the mainstream politics and power of Afghanistan. Taliban might have its minister and may be even a Prime Minister !! It is once again a failure of the only super power.

I have sincere doubts that the Osama Bin Laden or the Mulah Omar, may one day reach White House and have dinner with US President, like that had happened with Yasar Arafat of PLO. This is not far from what I see how the things could change in the world scenario and politics. Today's enemies could turn out to be clse friends and close enough to have dinner togather.

However it must be recognized that the major credit of US military operational failures can be attributed to the Pakistani officials' ability to convince the US military command to look other way round. They very shrewdly did not allow US forces to reach to actual centre of the terror infrasturue by allowing the US forces to go to the extent which they always wanted and they thought was enough and necessary to keep the fire alive. They never worked to douse the fire !
I have very serious reservation about the US administration's understanding of the entire events happening in and around Pakistan & Afghanistan !

Nobody on this globe knows where the Osama & Omar are, except the entire Pakistani military establishment. The Taliban, who was driven out of Afghanistan, has once again regrouped itself and is roaring to go after the Americans and all western countries that including India. It is hard to believe that the Americans never ever envisaged such a scenario. It is known to whole world that they have the habit of simulating a distant situation, creat hype with obidient media and prepare the American forces and the Administration for the worst. But here in case of Afghanistan, The US seems to have mis-read the Taliban, Afghans & Pakistanis.

Problem with Amricans is little more serious than they actually think. The problem will be felt once the US led allied troops leave Afghanistan, the Pakistan wants to dominate the envisaged Afghanistan government. In this case the return of Taliban to the mainstream politics in Afghanistan is forgone conclusion ! Because in the name of reconciliation, present Govt. led by Karzai, under the influence of departing US forces will need to accommodate the Taliban militants, who would be more than willing to share the power at the centre. Their participation seems inevitable to the US planners.

In this connection they have started to locate "good" Taliban terrorist after differentiating them with the "bad" Taliban terrorists. This new policy is being adopted by the Obama Administration. Barak Obama knows that they can not fight a war with Taliban with locals against them. They can not stay on forever without the oil controls coming their way. So its better to leave now instead of after sometimes when they have more coffins of their soldiers arrived in their air bases!

The problem with the US is, it is democratic nation and this super power changes its mind very shortly. Once a change of guard takes place from Republicans to Democrats, or for that reason, vice versa, the entire foreign policies change per se. US can not languish for long in Afghanistan, reasons are obvious and very clear. The cost of operations overseas will hit the US conomy very badly and secondy the rising casualties of its security men. The operation in Afghanistan will reach to almost a decade. For all these years they have failed find niether Osama Bin Laden nor
Mullah Omar.

They will leave in a year or two. Their compulsion at home are understood. But what after they leave. This is a worrying question, which India needs to address. Considering the fact that Pakistan has been fooling Americans since long and they will continue to do so, besides Americans have little choice than to oblige Pakistan. Perhaps they need a friend who stanbs them from behind and perhaps Americans deserve that too!

In this conditions they would accomodate Pakis in more in the devolution of powers in Afghanistan. Pakistan will be interested in installing Government which is friendly to its interests. If Pakistan is believed and followed, then they have little choice in whom to support to form a next Govt. in Kabul other than Talibans. Americans have seems to have accepted this reality and hey have already started to find for good moderate Talibans who can be trusted once the troops are pulled out of Afghnistan.

It is really pity that a small country was initially ruled by Russians, via Najibullah Govt. till the Russian troops withdrew, and they have Karzai Govt., backed by USA. Poor little country still does not realis that they need to get united and one and then face the world. They need to learn to get united and fight unitedly.

With this situation in mind, India needs to re-define its Foreign relations and its policies. It needs to give a thought on totally different level and different direction. The new situations are arising out of nowheer and we need to think and give shape to our policies keeping in mind changing and fluid sitation in Afghanistan. Few days back Afghan-Taliban leader had spoken to media, saying that they do not oppose India and Indians, per se. They want to have good working relations with India. They have reservations to an extent that we have been not speaking against USA for their drone attacks in which the civilians get killed. Their objections in this connection is absolutely correct and anyone would agree that its utterly logical.

Taking cue from such a statement by top Taliban leaders, India need to change the years old rigid perception about the Taliban. Taliban may be a small Now here comes the bomb. India must approach Taliban in Afghanistan. They must lend support to the fragile nature of the government that would come to power once the US & its allies leave Afghanistan. India should not have any problem with approaching Afghan Taliban. After all we have no problem with Saudi Arabia or for that reason any other country what they do in their own country and that's absolutely their internal problem and issues.

Why should Indian policy makers have objections to a form of Government, when their own people are supporting it ? What is the problem when even Americans are trying hard to have reconciliation with Taliban for lasting peace in Afghanistan / Besides any compromise with Afghan Taliban will put Pakistan in its place. And that must be the first priority. We have no expansionist policies in Afghanistan or anywhere in the world. (Indians are more smarter than Americans in this direction!) So why should we get what is lawfully ours and why should we go into hiding for no fault of ours in Afghanistan ?

Our national interest is of foremost important. We as a nation shy away from claiming what is rightfully ours. Our nationals are making sacrifices in Afghanistan for its development. We have had been maintaining the best relations with Afghanistan since centuries. Afghan people are more closer to Indians than they are to Pakistanis.

A little strategic change in policy will do lot of good for two nations. Why should we follow age old policies which has no relevance in the present scenario. Had we been maintaining the same sort of distance with the Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Iran for their belief in their religion, our stand could have had been vindicated, but Afghanistan is a poor and backward country, it has not developed to call the shots in the international arena, so we say we do not wish to have relations with Taliban Government ! I feel this utterly ridiculous.

We just need to have our national interest in mind while dealing with Afghanistan and not who rules that nation ! There are innumerable advantages if we start dealing with Afghan Taliban. USA can not even give advise that we should stay away from Afghan Taliban, as it is them only who are looking for these same Taliban for lasting peace in Afghanistan once they leave the country.

INDIA ONLY GAINS FROM SUCH SHIFT IN POLICY.

THACKERAYS : CUT TO SIZE BY OWN PEOPLE !!!!!

The war between Shiv Sena- MNS & Congress might turn ugly in the coming days. The SS + MNS has got desperate and NCP famed Sharad Pawar is fueling the fire in the State of Maharashtra. Sharad Pawar, who has not time to control food prices and take few good decisions favouring common good, was very quick to meet Bal Thackeray, who himself was in utter shock after 4 hours visit of Rahul Gandhi to Mumbai. Rahul's visit to Mumbai definitely put Sharad Pawar into bracket and he had no other way then to meet Thackeray. He was meeting the same person, whom he ditched at the time of State election by propping up Raj Thackeray, entraged nephew of Bal Thackeray.

These people will not allow the State of Maharashtra to settle down and prosper. They have their vested interests. I am not for Congress. It is the main culprit, but these people do not read between the lines and gauge the public mood at the moment. These egoistic leaders have no wisdom left and they can do anything to cling to power. The mood of the people is just to watch the film My Name Is Khan. That's all. By putting his entire reputation & fear psychosis commanded by the Shiv Sena, have lost sympathy and votes. Their staunch supporters are deeply embarrassed.

People perhaps has a very short memory, as the political experts keep on saying but they are not fool. It is forgiving those who might have committed mistakes and have corrected them, people forgive them. But our politicians in Maharashtra seems to have forgot that the people have been watching these jokers haplessly. Mumbai showed its mood in the general as well as State elections. Apathy of Mumbaikar is understood by everybody, except these petty politicians, who are Paper- Tigers.

Average Mumbaikar wants jobs. He wants better conveyance from his home to office, better working conditions and peace of mind. He is perhaps least bothered about Mumbai belongs to Marathi, Up, Bihari Bhaiyyas, Madrasi Anna or Gujarati bhai. !! But I feel is that the people have become more smarter than these so called tigers. They have registered their protest by going to watch the film of Shahrukh Khan. Many more people will go to watch the film in the coming days and every ticket sold will become a silent protest by the people, who will be saying to these leaders, that enough is enough and we know what you are fighting for, and of course it is not the MARATHI ASMITA (Marathi Pride) at all !!!

By doing anti-Hindi acts. Shiv Sena has made more enemies than friends. It was the name people in the hinter-land would take with respect few months ago, people are utterly not bothered if their pictures are burnt ! Shiv Sena is, if not yet realized, will be isolated in the political circles and perhaps it is the beginning of the end of Shiv Sena. It will be a sad story, that a party took up a Hindu cause, when the Congress and Secularists were defamed for their double standards. Even I voted for Shiv Sena when it said appeasement of minority must stop. All are equals in the eyes of law. I protested these pseudo secularists by voting for Shiv Sena.

But somewhere in not so distant past, it lost its way. Shiv Sena lost its good leaders out of political greed and family feuds. It turned cheap after the State Election debacle. Instead of taking on Raj Thackeray, his nephew turned arch rival, shrewdly, they also adopted same cheap linguistics tirade against the non-Marathi speaking people and spear-heading the spreading of such hatred, they lost their way in the middle.

It may be too early but, the end is near, unless they mend their ways. People will forget them soon, otherwise !

Mumbai Konachi ?!!! Thackeay family Chi Ch Tar..!!!

The ongoing controversy about Mumbai and who owns Mumbai is sad & tragic. Leave the political aspirations of Shiv Sena & MNS, the Marathi people, who support these two political outfits, are fast loosing the respect and sympathy in Indian Union. The days are numbered before something big & ugly, not in the longer interest of Indian Union, waiting to happen, if the Chach- Bhatija are not stopped!

The question is not to whom the Mumbai belongs, but the way the leaders of these two political outfits are loosing the normal etiquette and respect for the other leaders, cricketers, filmstars & other celebrities, situation will go out of hands. The parties fear that if they acted against the duo, they will loose the Marathi votes, which will go to SS and MNS. Congress, as well as the BJP are in fix due this.

But what is Marathi self respect which these Thackeray family is making an issue about, is not understood by the people who are living in Mumbai for decades ! They are not understanding what all this circus is all about. He only feels that the growing prosperity of Mumbai with so much infrastructural projects, it will become gem of the world, one day. These petty politicians are making fun of actual Marathi culture, which has had absorbed various cultures into it. That is why Mumbai is Mumbai, it is no where near to Chennai, Hyderabad, Kolkata, Ahemadabad, Banglore, the list is long!

Then what has gone wrong...?

Are the Marathi people being discriminated against the other language speaking people ?
Are the Marathi people are not being allowed to work hard and achieve what the non-Marathis are achieving?
Are the Marathi people are being harassed not to become competetive?
Are the Marathi people being prevented from attending any professional exams which they were eligible to attend?
Is the Marathi Manoos is prevented from going to work anywhere in Maharashtra and importantly anywhere in India?
Is those claiming Mumbai, actually belong to Mumbai ?
Is only Mumbai is Maharashtra ? Is Marathi language is in danger in entire Maharashtra ?

If it is so, there are no sizable non-Marathi speaking people in Satara, Marathwada, Konkan...! If the Marathi Manoos feels that its Marathi culture (Marathi Asmita) is in danger in all these parts of Maharashtra, then it is not those non-Marathi speaking people, who come from UP, Bihar & MP, it is the Marathi Manoos himself to be blamed for the same !

Have the SS & MNS have any facts & figures for the jobs going to the non-locals in this interior parts of Maharshtra ? Why concentrate only on Mumbai ?

They find the Marathi Manoos cornered in Mumbai, not because the labourers from UP, Bihar and other States have come to earn their livelihood and they are getting the job absolutely based on their competetive edge, they maintain over the local people, who are more into these sorts of hooliganism than to work really hard.

SS & MNS are misleading Marathi man. They are asking and alluring him to vote for them so that once elected they can also loot the people of this State. They are making him emotional on the grounds which is nowhere near reality. India is such a big & purely democratic nation, which even stuns the USA & Europe, such small & cheap thinking on the part of great Marathi leaders, are giving shame to entire Marathi language & Marathi culture !

Is Marathi culture is so weak that it needs goondaism to protect from those hapless labours who are just interested in earning his livelihood and nothing else. Marathi culture and traditions are taken for ransom. It is high time that right people from Marathi culture speak up against the SS & MNS otherwise this family could lead to a blood bath. They will not be affected much as they will rest in their high security bunglows, it will be poor people in hutments and hawkers, rickshaw-wallas and all those people on the road will be at risk. The hatred these Chacha- Bhatija duo is sawing, could lead to Maharashra turning into anarchy.

My apologies to my Marathi friends, but what these SS & MNS are doing is what Shivaji did 4 centuries ago in Surat. He looted the city which was Hindu, had not looted any Marathi manoos and never had war with any Maratha State ! But that loot may be justified from the Maratha point of view, as they were very poor to establish their own State.

But what is happening now, can not be jsutified in any case. As they have made billions, for themselves. But what these rich politicians need? They already have billions in unaccounted money. They have billions themselves and all its party leaders, who have earned in millions, even being a Shakha Pramukhs. Any project does not get passed in Mumbai, untill a CUT (bribe) is not sent to all these local goons, who are doning cap of Shakha Pramukhs! Is the Marathi manoos on the road, is earning aything from these people ? The answer is BOG NO !!!!

While this controversy goes on, it will be raised even further. They are taking up any damn person who comes in their way. They feel themselves as unstoppable. They think they can make any damned statements, any move, anything that they feel, required and needed to prove & portray them as the only messiah of Marathi people. But the question is do Marathi Manoos is in such a bad situation that it requires these semi-goons to protect them and their asmita ?

One thing is sure. The side product of 1980 anti-non-marathi campaign made many Gujarati investors to move out the state. They all had business offices in Mumbai, but Mumbai atmosphere was not conducive to business. They shifted their plants in Gujart, near Mumbai. It developed the entire Mumbai, Vapi & Anakleshwar belt. It became one of Guajarat's highly developed industrial belt. History is repeating this time again, but this time it could call for doom for Maharashtra. The reason is Mr. Narendra Modi, Chief Minister Gujarat. He is waiting to grab all the investment opportunity offered and earned.

Remember, NANO -TATA plant was being asked to be out of Singur, West bangal ? NAMO ( Narendra Modi, as poluparly called in Gujarat) was quick to invite TATA as well as provide all the infrastrucutre in Guajarat. Maharashtra was approached by TATAs, but they were not given land they required in Ranjangaon, Pune. Maharashtra lost jobs, income in terms of Taxes, development of backward areas, which such huge project always bring togather with them.

Maharashtra lost its leadership in developing State long back. Bihar is doing better than Maharashtra in developments. Remember, it could be a situation if Marathi Manoos goes for livelihood in Bihar, some day. As the present Marathi leaders have lost vision, where etiquette is a pre-requisite.

It is high time that they understand the reality. SS & MNS are really playing with the fire and they need to understand that only to earn votes and rule the State is not the ultimate thing they should have. As a political party they have many things to do !

My Marathi friends perhaps would not agree with what I have stated above, but the truth is is the political support to SS & MNS comes from the inferiority complex they are feeling due to the better competetive edge these migrants enjoy over the Sons OF The Soil !

Are these "Son Of The Soil" are of superior race, as Hitler thought himself to be Aryan, the original human race! Mumbai is a pot-boiler for them. they have no Marathi Mannos interest in their heart. It is only the power they want. If the interest of Marathi manoos is at their heart, they must show what they did while the farmers committed suicides ? Dis Bal Thackeray or Raj Thackery or for any reason raj Thackerey visisted or camped there for few days ? Did they tried and forced the Government to finish many many unfinished irigation projects, which lie in unfinished state ?

They will conviniently blame the Govenrment for the suicide attempts by the farmers. Since it is a socio-political crisis the State is facing, what attempts they did, which materialized on the ground. Why they did not made hullabaloo, for the farmers' suicide issue as they are making for no-sense Mumbai-marathi issue, for those farmers, whos were being looted by the middlemen and sugar barons.

They have answers for all and any of the questions, but only sitting in air-conditioned chembers. (As they believe that it is easier and effective to be BOL BACHCHAN than to work in the interiors.) They do not want to go to villages of Maharashtra and work out solutions to problems those people are facing. Marathi asmita and marathi interest lies there, in the ineriors of Marathwada, Konkan, Satara & Vidarbh. Where the farmer is in dire state.

Leave farmers' issue, the education wise also Maharashtra a lagging far behind. Banglore, Hyderabad, Channai all have been persuing the globle standards for studies, but in Maharashtra all educational institutes are in the hands of Political leaders. Who are looting hapless parents, who find sending their children to Australia cheaper despite the threat to their life.

Bal Thackery issues fatawa against Australian players, but has he ever tried to build some good reasonably costing educational institutes? So that the parents sending their children to Australia or NewZeal Land can teach their children in India, or Maharashtra itself.

Besides Thackeray family has no right whatsoever to protest against the Australians for attacking Indian, in Australia, while they are doing the same thing in Mumbai with non-Marathi speaking people.

BCCI please take note: There is no problem if Shiv Sena or MNS is in power in Maharashtra for allowing Pakistani players to play on the soil of Mharashtra. If they are not, Pakistan supports terrorism....killing our jawans....blasting bombs.....bl..bla..bla...!!!!! It is easier to blame Jaya Bachchan & Amitabh for opening a school in UP, have they opened any such institutes which serves the society free, without charging any fees ? They are political leaders! They care so much about Marathi manoos !

AVATAR....2012

The latest release of these two films have really aroused keen interest in the movie goers. These two films, made on two different subjects are rocking the Indian crowd and the people are happy to see these two movies, forget they cause big hole in the pocket, as the tickets are very high in multiplexes besides if you chose to see it 3D, the cost even goes up.

Well, the point is, two different movies are telling us the message which is similar in nature. 2012 depicts the complete devastation of the Planet Earth, and perhaps they are concentrating more on the destruction caused by the global warming and related issues, holding the man responsible for the same. It very nicely shows how the Earth gets destroyed and everything which is happening is happening but not only due to what man has been doing to this earth.

The film has its weird solution. The rich and powerful on this Earth ditch billions of people on this Earth, who were not given chance to save themselves, as the rich nations' government do not inform its people of impending danger. Instead they built few ships in Chinese workshops and try to save the rich & powerful of this earth.

However the magnitude at which this catastrophes takes place could even put a question mark on the secret vessel project also. However Hollywood film proves its mentality and utter commercialization of the events, and then mixing little emotions into it. But then if we give a second thought to this, we realize that the people, had they been informed about the heating up of the Earth's inner space, people might have just panicked and could have had been a mayhem. But then also the question arise, was there enough done to save other lives, except those who were rich, famous and powerful?

The answer is no!

There was not enough done and thought and the solution which the film shows, could portray as a one who saved life and mankind on the planet Earth, by making and saving people with the help of THE SHIP. Why were no such more ships were made to save more people?

Second film AVATAR, is about the greed of the humans which makes them land on a distant planet called PANDORA. Here they wish to destroy the natives for the stone which they want to sell at international market for millions per kilogram. For that they go to the extent of destroying the civilized networked natives with helicopter gunships and cargo ships converted into bombers. For their own greed they destroy a belief those native had in the mother nature.

Both these films prove that the Hollywood perhaps is trying to show the mirror to the people of this world about the human nature. The time we are passing through is one of the most difficult one. The nature is infuriated by the reckless use of its resources by the human being.

The best scene in the film AVATAR was, when the hero first time raises his voice against the occupying force's CEO, who asks hero to explain to the natives of Pandora palnet to vacate the tree on which they lived as the occupying forces want the costly stone beneath the giant tree. Hero then tries to tell them that they will not and can not be explained or persuaded to shift from that tree to some other place for any reason. They can not be PURCHASED with money as they have no value for money. That particualr scene explains eveything. The natives have everything they want and eveything which keep them alive & happy. So we cannot allure them with physical things.

In one such scene, it proves that the wealth created on the basis of money and consumption, is useless and needs to be understood before we actually ponder over the climatic crisis, we are are facing at the moment.

Both the films are a "MUST WATCH" for all of us who think. Those who think, raise question. We must raise question as where we are going and what are our goal. Is buying a good branded watch or anything which is luxerious and costly, the only thing we want in our lives? What next after that! Few more watches, perfumes and shoes and cloths and so on & so forth. But do we all need that?

Such questions when come to mind we think for a while, we agree with the point that what we are doing is indirectly or dierectly hurting the nature's cycle. We are using and consuming. We are concerned with our own self and not anybody else, not even our future generation!

One of my friend after watching 2012 told me that if what the film is showing really happens one day, he was happy to have no children in his life. He even did not wish to become parent any more, perhaps he would go for adoption of child but not the otherwise. We in Mumbai, have become little more cautious after we were sure of water cuts being applied by the local municipal authority. But have we started saving water on the individual basis ? The answer is still no!

We have become so rackless and careless that we feel that what happens with me acting to save the palnet earth? The question i right, but it will make sense that everybody on this earth will start thinking in that way. If you are wise and clever enough, you would heed to the signals, these two movies provide. Both the movies tell us, what we are doing and what we are running after is useless and meaningless. The generation of wealth in physical terms is giving us only traumatized life. It is not giving us peace of mind. First we loose peace of mind for money and once we earn them, we starte searching for it with the money, which we are unlikely to get, but then why don't we have it when we had it initially?

We, humans have changed the meaning of prosperity. We have made the personal possession of consumables as the economic prosperity. The economic prosperity means climatic decay. Take the example of the figures which were released by the bike manufacturers, which portrays increased sale of bike in India. The Finance Minister or for that any reason any economist of the country would feel secured. As this shows economic recovery by the Indian Economy. It will create jobs. Money will flow into the hands of people as the rising demands will give boost to production cycles. Rising production will create jobs. people of this country wlill prosper.

But that's perhaps not the bench mark for the development.

These bikes once sold, will mess up the roads. They will add up to already clogged roads . Climatic conditions will worsen further. We see the melting ice on Himalays and other Arctic regions, but will never postpone buying of the bike. The biggest problem is that the current bench mark for developments are so weird that they go totally against the nature. The rising prosperity will bring rising heat on the earth and subsequent mass-annihilation on the planet earth.

The film 2012, depicts consequences of what humans have done to the lovely & beautiful planet earth and film AVATAR, points towards the destructive & greedy nature & minds of the humans, and how far they can go to fulfill their selfish desire. The climatic international meet will never succeed. No country wish to give up the economic benefits, they could enjoy.

The China, USA, Europe and Russia and to an extent India may be few of the most polluting countries of the globe, but they are so powerful that they can neither be challenged nor be persuaded to give up some of their industries to reduce pollution. Because of the faulty and misinterpreted meaning of economic development & prosperity, they could loose the edge they have on their competitors. Mind you, USA is the biggest culprit, but no country in the world has capacity or capability to openly tell the USA that first see the mirror and then come to any climatic meet anywhere in the world. They are the biggest consumers on the planet earth. The path they have chosen for the prosperity is followed by all the countries of the world. But when the situation worsens, USA will never accpet its fault and will actually use all the tactics under the agies of Climate Damage Control Initiative, in which all other world countries would loose the economic edge they achieved with the path shown by the USA & its allies. Not even India or China for that reason.

It will then become one of the most difficult time for the people of this earth. The hope lies in the powerful nations doing their bit to put the global warming under control at the same time they are made willing to spend their money on those poor countries, who due to lack of technology are still using poor methods of production of goods.

Actually the meaning of prosperity needs to be changed after giving a thought to the present state of affairs of earth's climatic condition.

It is a very likely scenario, one day, several spaceships will leave this planet earth to so other distant planet and only rich, famous and people with technical know how will only be allowed on the spaceship and remaining population will be left to die a miserable life on this planet earth.

Perhaps 50 years from now.........this may be reality.

END OF THE WORLD PART THREE

The third and concluding part of the series which was started few months back. It took little longer before this was completed.



 End Of The World Part One

End Of the World Part Two 

As a human being we must ask questions about our origins. Why one should follow certain belief, which himself finds difficult to digest. It is said, one who asks question, thinks! So while doing so I came across some new and interesting facts. Now it will need your serious comments and hope fully start a new kind of discussion on this issue. But before that just read on the third part of the series


The SOURCE, as we believe it today, God created Creator souls. Who were capable of creating souls, planets, Stars, Universes, life forms for themselves and obviously for others. These Creator Gods knew to create matter as well as life from the source, light. (Remember filmy character Jaadu, in one of the super hit Hindi film)These creator Gods inhibited the constellation Lyra and these Lyrans had a life span of over Fifty Thousand years to lakh of years. There were other races, living objects, which were different from each other. But these creator Gods were supposedly the most advanced race amongst the other races present at that time. They were known as Annunaki race. They spread themselves out in
constellation Lyra, Vega, Pleiades and Sirius and created their own civilizations as per their need and requirements. They were believed to have all the characteristics of a DEMON, in all our stories around.

They had all the negative traits of human nature and even more mean and ruthless, than one can imagine to be in humans., even today. Perhaps German dictator Hitler, or even for that reason, Saddam Hussein can match most of the traits any Annunaki of Lyra.

With these traits and characteristics they ruled many of the constellations as mentioned earlier. It is believed that they reached planet Earth via planet NIBiRU. Now NIBiRU is the Planet of some other Solar System. It rotated around its own star and very interestingly its orbit, crosses into our Solar system. It is believed to be taking thousands of years, or say 3600 years, to be
precise, to finish one orbit, or even more years than what we understood, my any means.

It is believed, that it all happened in distant past, that civilization of Annunaki in SIRIUS CONSTELLATION , a STAR to which the NIBiRU was orbiting, died a natural death or got destroyed due to some unknown reasons. The Annunaki, who habitated NIBiRU, came to Earth. It is also believed that the planet Earth and Planet NIBiRU's moon collided. This resulted in creation of our MOON. Water on NIBiRU's that moon got transferred to our planet Earth due to the collision effect, where our Pacific Ocean lies today. The Earth matters were up in the space, which was replaced by the water from the NIBiRU's moon. (Source: Genesis)

There are several theories, of which one says as per the Zecharia Sitchin, that NIBiRU is the 12th Palnet of Solar system itself. It has a orbit period of 3630 around the Sun and once it collided with a Planet named Tiamat, beyond the planet Mars and that created Earth, Moon and
the asteroid belt between Mars & Jupiter.

Now back to Annunaki story. Some these Annunaki found Earth to be the best place for their in habitation. For them Earth was a gift, as they had nothing left back home as their Sun like star was dying and secondly Planet Earth had vast deposits of GOLD. They needed metal gold, to sustain their longevity, for ornamental purposes sides they used it for some purpose which is not clear and not known, which is presumed to be like maintaining their super powers!

But whatever the reason, the GOLD was very important for their survival and maintaining their longevity, besides, the stock of Gold was never sustainable back home. It might have had already depleted over there. Hence they always needed to look for Gold at different places, in the Universe.

The hoarding of gold was their main characteristics, as it is understood from the writings of Sumerian writers, which they themselves believed , that their civilization itself was nothing else than a set up, created by the by Annunaki.

Sumerians believed that the creator God, Annunaki were so advanced technically & highly powerful. They had at their time technology of genetic engineering, about 4.5 billions years ago. Even we can not think of such an advancement & innovation with all that technological prowess we have today.

Annunaki, the creator Gods, required gold to be excavated for their personal use. As the Sumerians write, they required it either for ornaments or for sustaining or increasing their life longevity and some of the special powers they had. For this excavation they required laborers. Hence they used their technological advancement in genetic engineering to develop some of the
species as humans, as we find it today.

It is believed that before they came, Earth had some form of humans, which were very primitive and far short the requirements of Annunaki. Hence they created genetically engineered species, which was far more similar to the original occupants of the planet earth and before the arrival of the Annunaki race and several other races as were present in the constellation its had been ruling for all these years, which were in millions.

With their technological advancement, they modified then existing primitive humans to meet their requirements. They did such thing successfully and they had slowly a force of labour who followed their instructions and could be used for years for excavation of Gold.

Sumerian civilization was one of many such civilizations created by the Annunaki at different places throughout the Earth, wherever there existed considerable gold deposits. They had already became God to these genetically engineered species, we shall call them the Avatar of present day human beings. These humans feared powers of creator Gods and they were forced to follow their instructions.

It now happened that these homo-sapiens or the humans species got smarter with the passage of time. After some centuries they grew so strong that they revolted against the Annunaki, the creator God. Those who revolted against these creator Gods, got destroyed. (This perhaps explains for no known reasons few civilization got removed mysteriously without any traces from the planet earth. )

After another few hundred thousand years, these creator gods started to receive the stronger revolt against them through out the plant Earth. Which forced them to destroy everything living, on this planet earth. (Solomon was asked to collect all the living things on the earth onto ship for seven days, as the earth faced one of the most severe flood-storms throughout the planet , destroying every living things.)

But that was not the solution. As the history could be repeated. If such revolt gets tougher, then the Annunaki could end up dying one day for the lack of Gold and absence of alchemy. Hence there were wiser Annunaki, who wished to share the secret of Gold and related alchemy with the humans on the earth while the other camp was against such sharing of secrets. The two camps were led by one Enki, who favored humans should share the secret of Gold and hence the super powers the Annunaki had, while the other faction was led by EN.LIL

It is believed that there had been a terrible nuclear war fought between the two factions of Annunaki at Sinai & near Pyramids over the fate of the humanity. Enki, wanted that the humans must be equal to Annunaki and they should have the freedom, respect and self rule. While the Enlil always wanted to rule the humanity with an iron hand.

It is believed that it was the Enki, who advised Adam & Eve to eat from Tree of knowledge and not the tree of life. Had they eaten from Tree of Life, they would have lived very long, but as a race they would have never evolved themselves to be clever enough to become equal to to that of their own creator Gods.

Obviously this was not to be likened by Enlil and the fought wars. Interestingly, Enki & Enlil were half brothers and their was father was believed to be Anu, who was the leader of Annunaki race.

Sumerians believed that these were the facts and they had symbolized what they knew about the Annunaki race and their creator Gods. Now the interesting part. If this was the truth about our
ancestors, what we believe is God, with super naturals powers, could be in most probability in fact were the Annunaki. The homo-sapiens race could have been genetically engineered and could have been in the most likelihood, the present day humans.

Humans race is the most superior to all other races of animals, birds and all the living things. Their mind must have had been genetically engineered to think better than those other animals !
Perhaps I am going far beyond the usual thoughts. But still they are LOGICAL thoughts. What more convincing about this theory is that one faction of the Annunaki wanted humans to have all those super powers, and they might have already started to pass on some of these powers to humans, but in between something might have happened that the process of making humans superman, might not have been completed.

So we are half superman and half like other animals on the Earth. All these things convinces beyond doubts that the aliens were, perhaps they are and they will remain part of our lives. It induces us to believe that perhaps we are not that advanced as those people, but we have attained a sort of super humanism, by medicating ourselves, creating genetic cells and experimenting to control genes which are responsible for aging us out and the way we die.

The days are not far away when we would be able to control that of our gene which is responsible for our aging, brought under control and we could be stop aging.

The same as Annunaki, who lived for thousands to hundred thousands of years. It is not understood what we will do for that longer time and what shall we do to live that long possible !


Happy Reading ! Happy Thinking!!!!

End Of The World...Nibiru, Annunaki etc..etc..!!!!

(continued.......


It was few months back I started to write on the subject and I was feeling that this should be noted on this same blog. Many friends who have been visiting this blog, must have been disappointed as there have been virtually no write ups in recent past on this subject.

This is in continuation with regard to the earlier post, with respect to the End of the World Approaching... and our own origination. Few months back there were several posts, in which I had put some reasoning which related the GODLY figures as likely to be aliens and had put forward some reasons for the same. There were several others who also held the same views on the subject.

It is certain that in this unimaginable and beyond our mental capacity to calculate the huge Universe and its objects. In the universe of ours, there are millions if not billions of galaxies like that of ours and in that if only Earth ends up supporting life, is not easily acceptable. Hence the imagination, backed by solid logic forces us to believe that there may more civilization, which might harbor life, may be more advanced than Earth or may be very primitive anywhere else in this Universe.

We are even not sure that how many Universe we might discover in course of our search for SETI. We might also one day know the way to travel from one Universe to another like we are traveling from one country to another. But in our quest for knowledge about our ancestors and our origin, we depend upon few of the signs and clue which are left behind by the time and which are still very suspicious and unexplained so far.

We must ask questions, as are we alone in this Universe? Do we belong to planet Earth, or did we come from another world? Is there any another world?

Then we followed some hype in the internet and in electronic media about the end of the world approaching on 21st December 2012. Because the people who believe such a prophesies, believe that the MAYANS had predicted the end of the world. MAYANS were the civilization present around the 9th century. They had the best knowledge in the astronomy & astrology.

They are believed to have had perfectly predicted all the eclipses taking place on Earth till date and they had predicted all future eclipses, till 21st December 2012. It is very difficult to understand the reason , why they stopped there ! One of the inferences could be they might have been tired, they might have had a person, who was doing all these predictions and one early morning he passed away, leaving the prediction work incomplete up to 21st December 2012.

There are scientists who predict two things. Which do not have any scientific proof to have any connection.

The First is, that on 21st December 2012, the Sun. Moon & Earth will be in one line, the three will be in perfect center of the our Galaxy and Galaxy. The scientists say that this will have the gravitational upheaval for Earth. And the Axis will change at the same time.

the Second is Change of Axis. Which happens every few billion years. Scientists believe that such change of Axis is going to happen in very near future. It may have already began. What we call a climate change, may actually be Axis shifting.

In this Axis shifting, the North Pole moves towards the South while the South poles moves northward. Resulting in change of gravitational forces to such a massive extent that the entire land crust face an upheaval, which could result in massive earth-quakes, eruption of volcano, tectonic plate of the earth's crust could break up and go upside down. Sea water could change its place. While what is sea might become land and what is lane might become sea.

Now the imagination runs wild amongst the people on the internet, electronic media and printed media too. They have mixed up the two. The starry facts are added with spices to the shifting of axis facts. These facts are merged with one another to create maximum hysteria.

Third is the Planet X, alias NiBIRU. It is believed that this Planet X is approaching Earth and will collide with Earth on 21st December 2012.

(I PROMISE YOU THAT ON THAT DATE I WILL DEFINITELY WRITE WHAT ACTUALLY HAPPENS ON THAT DATE, OF COURSE IF I AM ALIVE AND LIVING !)

Now there after the reasons and the causes of such a destruction, started to float in the media and internet. According to this view few people believe that the a Plant called Nibiru would came & collide with the planet earth and there will be complete and utter destruction. No one will survive on the planet Earth.

The planet NIBiRU is said to be approaching and is on the collision course with the Earth. It might get into the way of Earth's orbit, while itself orbiting the Sun. Hence the two planets could clash, with one another, while performing their routine orbiting Sun. There is no evidence to prove that the NIBiRU had a collision with the earth in its previous such run. But there are logical evidences which are if connected with each other we come to some very interesting facts about the human kind on this Earth as well as may be even our origin from where we have arrived.

The NIBiRU is said to be approaching Earth and it was to hit the Earth in the year 2003. But now it is believed that the hit could take place on 12th December 2012. Mayan civilization also claims that the world which we know today, would end on 12th December 2012, as their calender ends on that date. As mentioned earlier that they had the perfect ability to predict each and every ECLIPSES with utter precision. But they have all their predictions abruptly end on 21st December 2012. Reasons known to them.

However MAYANS did give insight into the Sumerian culture. They explained many things which points towards the fact that we are not alone in this Universe. The Sumerians held this view before that MAYANS. They believed that the Earth may be inhibited by the men as we know of today, but we are not alone. They tried to explain, what we try to deduce from the logic.

DRAGON IS LOOSING SENSE

The recent news reports pointing towards the rising tension at the Indo-China border is very serious and very alarming also. The China has reason to become aggressor in this case and create controversies as the Tibet and the region closer to Indian border is engulfed into deep trouble . People in these provinces are fighting the cultural white Wash the Chinese are doing in the Lhasa and surrounding areas.

They are deliberately killing the Tibetan culture by giving money in the hands of young Tibetans. They have turned the Tibetan girls to become whores and they are doing it to satisfy the Chinese Red army requirements as well as destroying the Tibetan culture. It is this point where it finds no support from India. Dalai Lama, spiritual leader from Tibet has found a sanctuary in India and has been runing his own Govt in exile. The Chinese think that they have all right to claim the stake over Arunachal Pradesh as it is very close in all issues to the Tibetan culture and since in 2006 India accepted the Tibet as internal part of China, dragon thinks its it natural right to stake claim on Arunachal Pradesh also.

Recent elections in Arunachal Pradesh, and related political visit by P.m. Manmohan Singh, has irked the Chinese Govt., but absolutely unnecessarily. The said territory always belonged to India and it will always remain that way. This must be conveyed to the Chinese in no uncertain terms. In fact if the Indian Govt. wants to avoid the war, then it must prepare for the war. It must start spending on enormous development of its military strength. If the borders are secured, economic development will automatically happen.

But it seems that the Govt. is more than neccessarily taking it easy. For several days none of the Govt. functionary was ready to say anything against the Chinese incursions in Arunachal Pradesh. Then blame was on the media to create hype in the country of a war. So did the Chinese, blamed it on Indian media. But Govt. controlled Chinese media was all united to criticise the Indian Prime MInister for his visit to Arunachal Pradesh. It seems we did a great mistake in accepting the Chinese claim on Tebet, without getting a concrete promise from the Chinese Govt. that it will not interfere in the internal affairs as well as they will accept and honour Indian boundries.

Prime Minister is busy in fondling with the economic boom, he and his team is considering disinvestment of PSUs and all that is not important from security of the nation point of view. It has been an old saying, that the Jis Desh Ka Raja Vyopari, Us Desh Ki Praja Bhikhari (Jiska Raja what we will do with the stocks and what it will realize if the Chinese forces to capture the Arunachal Pradesh by force. Do we have any preparedness for the same or we have already accepted the defeat. What happens to the money of the tax payers, spent on the military preparedness, if the same is not deployed in the best manner? What we will do of those planners and strtegic analysts, if they can not provide solutions to the problems faced by the Govt.


Secondly, we were a defeated nation in 1962. Weak and short sighted policies of P.M. Nehru has given the Chinese boost to their belief that India is weak country and can be bent over as and when required. It was the Chinese policies to make the countries around it to either toe to their wishes or face the war.

Thirdly the Chinese view India as their competitor. China started economic reforms in the year 1971 or so. They have been unchallenged for all these years. But India has been catching up Chinese very fast and it has potential to even take over the Chinese economy. China, instead of accepting the challenge, could try to hit India with a war and throw the Indian economy out of gear for decades and China continue to dream to rule the world one handed.

China has developed a kind of fear that it can not sustain its economic development vis-a-vis the Indian economic development. It knows its limitations. As its economy is absolutely controlled by the State, where the demand and supply statistics are controlled and manipulated by the Chinese Govt. itself. While the Indian economy is entrepreneur based, and which is subsequently based on market forces.

We have thousands of managers and skilled people who are readying themselves to challenge, hitherto unchallenged Chinese work force. While Chinese work force depends upon the money support provided by the State. Besides it is completely dependent on the exports to USA. If some day, if the dollar crashes, so will be the Chinese exports and the consequently the Chinese economic interests could get jeopardized.

Its demand for products hence is again controlled by the Chinese Govt., which encourages its nationals to spend more and more. While Indian economy is free to the wishes of consumers where consumer decides what, when & how much to consume.

Both the giants have many things in common and has a greater degree of potential for enmity between the two nation. Indians are very much cost cautious about using its national resources while the China to withstand competition, overlooks the cost of natural resources, besides the labour is cheap and under control of the Chinese Govt., that is why Chinese goods are so cheap in cost and quality.

I remember in the year 2003, the Chinese FM radios were flooded in the Indian market and were for sale just for Rs.50/=. People purchased it and then decided never to purchase any Chinese goods as it lacked quality. Consumers in India preferred to buy costly Indian goods against the cheaper Chinese goods.

Chinese economy is totally based on export of Chinese goods to Western countries, while the Indian economy is largely localised and hence has much more potential to fetch attractive fresh investments as well as a very good growth rate over period of time. THIS HURTS THE CHINESE RULERS.

A war with India could mean a increased business for the western nations, who could be more than happy to see that both these giants fight. Role of USA, will be limited to protect their own interests. It has huge investments in both countries and it can not afford to see a full fledged war between two neighbours, but it will have no options if China, rebukes USA, then there can not be any limit to the war.

However, war seems to be a distant possibility at the moment, as the stakes involved are very high and world community can not just be a watcher this time. China will have to be more precise and more practical. This game of cat & mouse, perhaps would not work this time. The Indian nation is much more stronger than the Govt., which looks lame duck at the moment. The will power of Indian masses must not be under-estimated, this time. This is not a Nehru era, when people used to believe him blindly and followed his policies without much practical approach.

Young Indians today will retaliate in the strongest manner and could be even better than the Chinese counter part. Though they might be great in numbers, but the will of this nation must not be gauged with the people in power circles in India. It would be a blood bath for any political party, if this time it makes India to surrender Chinese forces. Besides the leadership is much more matured than in 1962.

The only hitch is the political class of this country, which can not be trusted. This gut-less class could loose a war for India, in gift they would return part of territory belonging to India. The deal could take place to broker peace, not in the interest of India, but in the interest of the political class who has turned businessmen and can sell anything. The problem is not with the Indian masses, it is with the people who rule this nation.

But they must also be forewarned that if such an adventure, if at all, takes place, Chinese could really taste the blood of their own people, in India. The friendship and all such talks will be forgot and Indians will retaliate with vengeance.

It is clearly understood that the war will not be won by anybody and problems will never be solved with the war, it will enrage the problems further. A negotiated settlement to all the problems will be enough to douse the fire at the Indo-China border. But Indians can not take the threat from the Dragon lightly and pay price later on. We must be on guard. Militarily and politically. The Arunachal Pradesh row must be replied with Aksai Chin controversies. They must be told that the area, as disputed, between India & Pakistan can not be gifted by Pakistan to China.

Just think, we talk of peace with those who do not understand peace. If the Taliban comes and speaks language of bombs and suicide bombers, please tell them they have it the same way. If Pakistan wants a nuclear war with India, just declare that we have given up on policy of no-first use of nuclear weapons. Encircle the entire Chinese main land, with the inter-continental ballistics missiles, like Agni III, to tell them, if India attacked, no one is safe, not at least the attackers.

JAI HIND.

Difficult Days Ahead....!!

With the rainfall playing truant, prices of essentials going out of the roof, terrorists are all set to attack another Mumbai like attack, share market going southward, swine flu taking toll on the economy, value of rupees depleting with each passing day and economic slow down all over the world.......etc...etc

Newspapers are full of this kind of stories everyday. You open a newspaper and you will find these stories with all sorts of extreme imaginations of the worst type from all those who write in the newspapers. They need to attract attention of the people and sensationalize the events or the difficulty the common man faces. INSTEAD OF TREATING AND SOOTHING WOUNDS , THEY JUST KEEP ON INCREASING THE INTENSITY OF SOMETIMES UTOPIAN SITUATIONS.

The common man also finds himself connected to these events when when the media increases attention on his problems. He finds himself into deep trouble when such situation is focused too much by the media. While the media wants more and more viewership/readership base and increased TRPs, not worried if that at the cost of the peace of mind of common man.

Take the example of swine flu, it was made it to the people of this country, as if this will kill each and everyone infected, despite the truth that common flu kills almost 2 million people in the world every year, but seldom reported and least talked and hence feared diseases. However the media hyped the pain and anxiety of common man, instead of dousing the fire in his heart and mind, it magnified the fear and related seriousness many folds.

Take the price rise, which is so steep that you can just pray that you must afford to have what you need for your living requirements. The vegetables, you literally feel is in the hands of cold storage mafias. The prices of vegetables are all same for 12 months. The days of the seasonal fruits and vegetables have all gone down into the history. The prices are stabilized for 12 months. Whether there is season for the same or not, you may perhaps get the perishables you want, but you pay the price for the same.

The food grains and pulses have always only moves northward. The prices once gone up never comes down. The common man struggles to keep his budget under control as his source of income is limited and prices of all the essentials have been on the rise. He might be thinking of a various combination to stay afloat with his family with all permutations and combination.

In the entire scenario the Government of India led by Congress and one of the renowned economists teamed up by Mr. Manmohan Singh, Montek Singh, Pranav Mukharjee, look too small as persons with the assigned jobs. They really live in the Utopian state of imagination, whee the role of State is limited in any Capitalist economies of western countries. Still and so far they do not feel or compelled to act.

The price rise is just crossing all the limits and there is no solution is visible at the moment. The vegetables, food grains, pulses and all the related food items are crossing all bounds. The Govt. just wants to be richer and richer. It does not think of reducing any taxes levied on the common man. Petrol & Diesel prices are one such prices on which the Govt. itself is violating laws. As per the law there can not be any taxes on tax already levied. But the Petrol & Diesel are such product where in taxes are levied on taxes (Details some other time).

Situation is worsening day by day but the Central Govt. as well as the State Govt. doe not seem to be readying itself for the calamity, which is approaching very fast and consistently. With the monsoon, slated to fail this season and the drought is on the horizon, situation could worsen further.

Declaring drought affected nation would not in any case absolve Govt of its duty to act for the welfare of the people. The most important task for the Govt is to stop the futures markets in food grains, fruits and vegetables. This will end speculative price rise happening on daily basis. It should immediately make plans to buy the commodities in short supply to import from foreign markets. It should also do it on the urgent basis to instill a fear of business loss in the minds of hoarders, who store the goods purchased at acheaper prices and sell when there is scarcity of such commodities at a very high value

ARIHANT...THE NUCLEAR SUBMARINE....Naming Controversy

The Indian scientists and people at DRDO and related institutes, have finally come up with the Indian version of a nuclear submarine. As an Indian I am really proud of the achievement made by the country's hardworking scientists, who have from time to time proved that they are not less than anyone in this world. If they are given time, money and support, they can be the best lot in the world.

The nuclear submarine has its strategic importance as these ATVs, as they are called, can carry nuclear war-heads for the enemy, who is not satisfied with our stand of no first use of nuclear weapons. In that case we need to develop a capacity in which we can launch a retaliatory attack. Assuming that the first attack would completely cripple us, we need something which will deter the enemy to even launch first strike, fearing that they would get their due, in case they attacked India.

These submarines can stay beneath the sea level for months, without requiring to come to surface for recharging, as required by the other ordinary submarines. Hence they can remain under water for months and can launch a decisive attack, including nuclear attack, on the enemy territory. Most of these weapons never get actually used up in the war as enemy knows what will happen if the actual war breaks out, but then still having such a weapon system is necessary.

The day on which it was launched, there was a murmuring going on about the name of this nuclear powered submarine. It was named after one of the Tirthankar of Jain, Arihant. Whose name the Jains take when they recite the most auspicious NAVKAR MANTRA. Jain leaders have started to raise objection, as Arihant means killing the inner darkness of a person, (while the Sanskrit meaning is killing the enemy,) they claim that the submarine will have weapons which could kill hundreds of thousands of people if not millions, must not be named after their Tirthankar, who always preached non-violence.

One must answer to a simple question. Has Jainism purchased copy rights to use the Sanskrit word, Arihant, for their exclusive use? You can oppose if the said submarine was named after the Jain Tirthankar, but the name Arihant is a Sanskrit word and the culture, literature and language Sanskrit, is much bigger than the Jainism. We as Jains, must respect the sentiments as expressed by the Indian Defense establishments, for naming the first nuclear powered submarine as Arihant. The naming authority nowhere mentioned that is is named after Jain Tirthankar, Arihant.

This is a perfect example of mixing religion with politics. The Jainism, as a way of life and its Tirthankar, Arihant, is much bigger than the leaders who are making noises about the naming a nuclear submarine after Arihant, are making to be one.

We in India, do not understand what for and where we are opposing. We keep on opposing on each and every issues and politics enters each and every such issues. The simple occasion of being proud Indian for having an indigenous nuclear submarine, could get into murky politics of naming the submarine.

I personally feel that such issues must be dealt with some simple logic. The word Arihant, does not only belong to Jainism. Nor do the Jains has purchased the rights to use the name exclusively for their own purpose. Besides, will the people who are opposing the use of name would justify that the name was actually originated from Jainism and is not a Sanskrit word.? I strongly feel that the Jain religious leaders should concentrate on well being of the Jain community, by asking the Rich Jains to donate for Hospitals, schools and hostels and help those thousands of Jain brothers who need help. Instead of arousing sentiments in the name of the religion.

Being a Jain myself, I have come across many practices which need to be looked upon on humanitarian grounds. We need some strong leadership to put our own house in order. Instead making more and more Ashrams, Mathas and temples, we need good hospitals which serve poor, we need schools so that the community people can learn and lead good prosperous life.

And the most important observations I have been through, is that the Jainism, boasts non-violence and preaching of forgiveness. But does not allow killing to protect oneself or even to protect Jainism. This is complete cowardice. Just following centuries old traditions, while we live in the life where people get killed for no fault of theirs, such preaching needs reform.

You can not convince the Taliban with this peaceful message. They will first laugh at you, then they will rob you and finally will shoot you dead. Your non-violence will not work against the animals. They need to be killed to protect you and your philosophy of unnecessary non-violence.
