Do you know what is the sexiest and ugliest thing in the world is?

“ You really dont know that. Even if you do, you didn't realise it's power!!

White lie or misleading truth?

What is right, what is morally correct? A lie or a misleading truth? To understand this, I am taking two examples. Paula Jones brought a sexual harassment lawsuit against Bill Clinton while he was president.

Justice - What's the right thing to do

Some days ago, I started to watch an interesting Harvard lecture series on Law. In this lectures, Mr. Michael Sandel has come up with the cool philosophy which everyone of us can digest easily on many interesting issues.

Free to choose

Having physical relationship with opposite gender is so important, then why we have so much romanticized celibacy?

harvey saved me!!

Today I had my breadth subject exam – ‘Effective learning techniques of professional development'. Oh wait! Don’t horrify about the course name. It has got only long title but nothing special in it.

A funny conversation between Dad and Son

                   

A funny conversation between Dad and Son: (on phone)
(I only heard son’s side conversation. Dad side conversation I am assuming how it would be.)

Dad: Remind me, when was the last time you took your bath?

Son: It was 12-15 days back.

Dad: then Beta, go and take your bath.

Son: Papa, last time I bathed and I was just shivering. And the weather is much colder now.

Papa: Beta, then use heater. (Immersion rod)

Son: Papa, I don’t even have bucket and heater. Previously I was using shower and water was not much colder then.

Papa: then buy heater or borrow it from someone else.
Son: Okay papa, I will borrow it from someone and after taking bath I will let you know.


(I was (accidentally) hearing this conversation and was laughing in my mind.)

I've never been lonely

I love these passages written by Charles Bukowski. So sharing with you guys,

(1)  
I've never been lonely. I've been in a room - I've felt suicidal. I've been depressed. I've felt awful -- awful beyond all -- but I never felt that one other person could enter that room and cure what was bothering me...or that any number of people could enter that room. In other words, loneliness is something I've never been bothered with because I've always had this terrible itch for solitude. It's being at a party, or at a stadium full of people cheering for something, that I might feel loneliness. I'll quote Ibsen, "The strongest men are the most alone." I've never thought, "Well, some beautiful blonde will come in here and give me a fuck-job, rub my balls, and I'll feel good." No, that won't help. You know the typical crowd, "Wow, it's Friday night, what are you going to do? Just sit there?" Well, yeah. Because there's nothing out there. It's stupidity. Stupid people mingling with stupid people. Let them stupidify themselves. I've never been bothered with the need to rush out into the night. I hid in bars, because I didn't want to hide in factories. That's all. Sorry for all the millions, but I've never been lonely. I like myself. I'm the best form of entertainment I have. Let's drink more wine!”


(2) 'I was a man who thrived on solitude; without it I was like another man without food or water. Each day without solitude weakened me. I took no pride in my solitude; but I was dependent on it. The darkness of the room was like sunlight to me.'

Black Swan :Movie unfold

When I first time watched this movie, i didn't understand it completely. So If you too were in the same position, this blog is for you, even if you weren't, still you will enjoy this. 



Swan lake story:

Virginal girl,pure and sweet trapped in the body of a swan by a evil sorcerer. She desires freedom but that only true love can break the spell of the evil sorcerer.

Her wish is nearly granted in the form of prince. But before he declare his love to white swan, her lustful twin sister black swan tricks and seduces prince.

Devastated, the white swan leaps off the cliff, killing herself. And in death, finds freedom.

In the movie:

Nina (played by Natalie Portman) is a ballet dancer who always wants to be a swan queen (the lead role of the act). In the starting of the movie, she was seeing the poster of swan queen of her production house as obsessively as she always wanted her photo there. 


But for the character of swan queen, dancer must play both the roles of gentle white swan and seductive black swan as they are twin sisters.


Nina is beautiful, fragile, and innocent. She has all the characteristic of white swan. If there had a role only for white swan then Nina was perfect casting for it. But black swan is seducing, dangerous, sexually aggressive and completely opposite of white swan.

Thomas, producer of the play, wanted these characteristics in her. 


Nina has hallucination problem. She actually imagines her black swan character as seducing. At railways station, she first time sees her.


For the character of swan queen, her competition is new bold and confident dancer Lily (Mila Cunis) who could be the better choice for black swan. Thomas knows abilities of Nina but the attitude of black swan he wants in her, is not coming out of her. Still he gives her chance. He didn't want her to be fragile; he wants her seducing, aggressive. He knows role of white swan is not a problem but the real problem is how Nina would play black swan.



She always strives for the perfection. Thomas asks her to ‘lose herself’. He says, perfection is not only about control but it’s also about letting go. 


From the moment she started dance, her long cherished dream was to be swan queen. She was actually dying to that role and when she gets it, she literally explodes in happiness.


Thomas don't want her to be weak. He wants her to come out of her self made restriction zone. He wants her to be expressive about her feelings.


 The character of black swan has eaten up earlier swan queen Beth too as indicated by this scene.


She throws her toys as now she is not the same girls she used to be. She actually imagines her black swan character as Lily. It is interesting to see that she is fighting with herself as she is not able to distinguish between real and imagination (hallucination). 


As what happens in Swan Lake story, is parallel happening in the movie. She wants Thomas to believe in her but she thinks Lily is seducing Thomas to get her role and Thomas is getting attracted towards her.


That feeling of jealousy, envy transforming her character. In due course of time, she is changing from white swan to black swan.

    



She is learning to oppose things.Here, first time she opposes her over protective mother to get out of her room. The character of black swan was eating her up.


She has transformed. She wants to end that black swan character developed in her. She ends that character by putting broken glass in her stomach. Stabbing in the mirror is her losing who she is and becoming swan where she fights good self against evil self.


At the end, after playing her character as black swan when she passionately kisses Thomas, first time Thomas get seduced by her act as black swan. That persona he always wanted in her.



Hope it helped you a bit.

No offence, please!!



I must say, this elections season is most exiting since last 2 elections. Use of social media increased, volunteer’s of each party coming up with different strategies to get people’s attention whether it is from Facebook, twitter or YouTube.

But what I found most interesting is increased use of this phrase- No offence, please! Supporters of different parties posting anti-news on each other’s facebook profile writing this phrase. (Namo supports posting Kejri's ‘Bahot hi Krantikari’ video on AAPtard’s profile and AAP supporters posting unfinished interview of Namo with Karan Thapar or things like that) and giving a caption to it, no offence please.

Are boss, if your clear intention is to offend someone or his beliefs then why are you trying to be sophisticated by writing this phrase, no offence.

Why we use exactly opposite phrases to the emotions? In Hindi, when you are going to tell something bad news, you first ask that person- ‘promise me ki tum bura nahi manoge.’

Tell me, how someone could tell you how he will not feel bad even before listening to the story. Ironic huh! Maybe you are trying to make his mind to hear bad thing. And if his face become fill with shadow of grief after hearing your story, then you tell him that I already ask you to not fell bad.

Do you thing when he gives permission, he actually meant it? Or he is just eager to hear your damn story.


Do you actually think to change the game by saying these silly words? If yes, then no offence but you'r a stupid asshole.;-)

A Wish a Day for a Week

This is a speech by  Indian economist and a Nobel laureate Amartya Sen. I found it interesting, hope you would enjoy too.



Friday 17th January 2014, ZEE Jaipur Literature Festival, Diggi Palace

On being invited to the Jaipur Festival, I was naturally nervous about attempting an opening address to such an elite gathering. However, about ten days ago I saw in the newspapers, indeed in all of them, that India has entered triumphantly into the “elite club” of the world. The Times of India’s headline said: GSLV-DV launch successful, India joins elite club”. As an Indian citizen, I immediately lost all fear about not being able to get into the elite club. However, I had a problem in not knowing what GSLV-DV is. Or does. On probing I found that GSLV-DV is famous because it carries a GSAT-14 communication satellite. That seemed just what I needed. And so I decided to use the GSAT-14 communication satellite to communicate well beyond my station in life.

High above the clouds I came across a figure who looked very impressive, who explained that she was the Goddess of Medium Things. “ Gosh,” I said. ‘Medium you may be, but you look very impressive.” “You should see,” she replied, “ the goddess of LargeThings.” “You could please introduce me to her,” I said, “but are you sure that you are really a goddess?” “Yes I am,” she responded firmly, “I am – as I told you – Goddess of Medium Things. But, you are right, I am very informal, and you can call me GMT – that is my pet name.” “Isn’t GMT some kind of time?” I asked her. “Yes,” she said, “ I can give you the correct time, also one of my specialties, but more importantly I can grant you a wish – in fact more that one wish- for your country.” “ How jolly,” I said, “May I have seven wishes – a wish a day for my country for a week? Please, let us get on with it!”



“Sure,” GMT said,” but why are you in such a hurry?” I explained, “ I am going to the Jaipur Literature Festival. You have heard of the famous Jaipur Literature Festival, my goddess?” “Yes,” GMT said, “but it is really so big now that it has been moved from my care to the care of the Goddess of Large Things. Still, I will try to help you. Make a medium-sized wish about literature.”

So I jumped in: “Classical education in language, literature, music and the arts are being seriously neglected in India. Very few people study Sanskrit anymore. Nor do they study ancient Persian, or Latin, or Greek, or Arabic, or Hebrew, or Old Tamil. We need serious cultivation of classical studies for a balanced education. In India’s increasingly business-oriented society, there is generally far less room today for the humanities, and that is surely a problem, is it not, goddess?” “But,” said the goddess, “ Rabindranath Tagore in your village, Santiniketan, used to grumble that science education was being neglected. So how can you say the opposite?” “That was then, madam,” I said,” and this is now. Rabindranath was right in his day, but bright students now, everywhere in India, go for science and technology, and look down on humanities.”

“So,” asked the goddess, “you wish to have a greater role of humanities in Indian education?” “ Something like that,” I said. “What a vague statement: ‘something like that!’, GMT said, ”you must have clearer ideas.” “ Clearer? Do you mean more precise, dear goddess?” I asked. “No,” said GMT, “you are making the common mistake of assuming that a clear statement needs to invoke precise magnitudes. A good statement of an inherently imprecise concern – and most important concerns in the world are imprecise – mustcapture that imprecision, and not replace it by a precise statement about something else. You should learn to speak in an articulate way about ideas that are inescapably imprecise ( as a man called Aristotle put it more that two millennia ago). And that is one of the reasons why the humanities are important. A novel can point to a truth without pretending to capture it exactly in some imagined numbers and formulae. Okay then, now go on to your second wish.”

“Well,” I said, “may I go into politics?” GMT looked unsurprised and said, “ I think I can guess what you are going to ask, knowing your left-wing views – you are on the left in India, aren’t you?” “Nothing escapes you goddess, “ I replied, “ I am. But my big political wish is to have a strong and flourishing right-wing party that is secular and not communal.” “Why?” asked a slightly puzzled goddess. “There is a an important role,” I explained, “ for a clear-headed pro-market, pro-business party that does not depend on religious politics, and does not prioritize one religious community over all others.” GMT said, “Surely there was such a party in India, led by some very smart people, wasn’t there?” I said, “Yes, madam, there was – it was called the Swatantra Party, and among its leaders was Minoo Masani, an extremely smart fellow indeed – but the party died. I wish it would be revived.” “Let me recollect,” GMT said, “this Minoo Masani – was he really in favour of non-communal politics and did he believe in the brotherhood of all people, what the French revolutionaries call ‘fraternity’? I seem to recollect that he said some unflattering things about fraternity in one of his public speeches.” “Yes, goddess,” I told GMT, “he was staunchly secular and very much in favour of fraternity. But in a light-hearted remark in 1946, Masani said that he adored fraternity but given the misuses of the word after French Revolution, he did not use it. He went on to say in the Constituent Assembly of India on December 17th 1946, “When I introduce my brother, I call him my cousin.”

“Would that be your favorite party then?” asked the goddess. “No, absolutely not,” I said. But I would very much like such a party to be there, giving Indian voters the choice of supporting a secular, pro-business point of view – it would be very good for Indian politics. The support that a right-wing pro-business point of view receives should not have to be parasitic on making an alliance with religious politics.”

“Okay,” said GMT,” but can you make your explanations short- we don’t have much time. Let me remind you that you are speaking to me and not lecturing at the Jaipur Festival. What’s your third wish?” “ I would like the parties of the left to be stronger, but also more clear-minded and much more concentrated on removing severe deprivations of the really poor and downtrodden people of India.” “ But what about the priority that is attached to their dedication to fighting against American imperialism?” GMT enquired – and then went on, “ Now that the Soviet Union is gone, the Chinese are beating the Americans in the market economy, the Latin Americans and the Vietnamese are racing ahead with their own economic and social progress, surely the Indian Left is the only remaining political group in the world on whom the mantle of fighting American imperialism has fallen. And in giving priority to their dedicated pursuit of that philosophical priority, they have made various Parliamentary moves that have reduced the number of seats they themselves have in Parliament. It is not easy for me to make them politically stronger until they themselves think afresh”.

“I hope they will,” I said. “What the left really has to concentrate on is reversing the terrible state of the really poor people of India, rather than nursing an antiquated understanding of imperialism, or joining the other political parties in agitating for cheaper amenities for parts of the middle classes.” “Another lecture!” said GMT, “But I am a patient goddess, and ready to listen to your grumble about your own friends; so go on – what’s the fourth wish?”

“I would like the media to be more responsive to the needs of the poorest people, and less single-minded in their coverage of the world of glitzy entertainment and shining business opportunities. They are right to grumble about the way subsidies waste economic resources, but largely fail to denounce subsidies for the better off, in the way subsidies for the unemployed and the hungry are savaged in the press. Reading the papers or listening to media on fiscal irresponsibility of supporting employment schemes and food subsidies, you would scarcely guess that many times as much governmental money is spent on subsidizing electricity for those who are lucky enough to have power connection (a third of the Indian people have no connections at all), subsidizing diesel, cheapening fertilizers, offering low cost cooking gas (most Indians have no instruments into which these inputs would go) than on supporting food and employment schemes for the poor. The latest figures are the following: Subsidies on food 0.85 percent of GDP; employment guarantee scheme (NREGA) cost 0.29 percent of GDP. Compared with that the power subsidies, in various forms, for those who have electric connections amount altogether to more than one full percentage of the GDP, possibly closer to 2 percent, to which should be added 0.66 percent on fertilizer subsidy and 0.97 percent on petroleum subsidy (diesel, cooking gas, etc). So the much criticized food subsidy and employment guarantee for the poor and the unemployed cost about 1.14 percent of GDP, whereas the cost of subsidizing electricity, fuel and fertilizers for the relatively better off is minimally 2.63 percent, and possibly closer to 3.63 percent of GDP – more than three times what is allocated to feed the poor and provide employment to the unemployed.”

“Yet,” I continued, “reading the papers and hearing broadcasts you would tend to think that it is subsidy for the poor – food and employment – that strains India’s public resources, even though two to three times as much governmental funds are spent in subsidizing the better off. In fact, since the Government spends only a miserable 1.2 percent of the GDP on health care (unlike in China where the percentage is nearer 3 percent) the total government expenditure on health (in all forms), food subsidies and employment subsidy is much less than what the government spends on subsidizing the consumption of power, diesel, cooking gas, fertilizers, etc, for the relatively rich – and much more vocal – people.

It is sad that the most vibrant media in the world is so silent on the needs and predicaments of the poorest. A third of Indians have no electric connections. The media made such a fuss – quite rightly in its context – about 600 million people not having power on a day in July two years ago when there was a terrible administrative bungle about power supply, but neglected to report the fact that 200 million of those 600 million people never had any power at all – a perpetual black-out – because they were not even connected to electricity.”

“Enough, enough,” said the goddess, “go on.” “My fifth wish is easy to speak about,” I said, “since it concerns persistent deprivations I have been nagging about for decades: all children must have decent schools to go to; every person must have medical care beginning with preventative care; women should not have to lead more deprived lives than men; the country should not be full of undernourished children (not to mention the most undernourished in the world); every child has to be fully immunized (rather than a third of the children being left out); everyone should have a home with a toilet (rather than half the population having to defecate in the open, even as India supposedly joins the elite club of the world); and there should be generally good higher education and a sustainable environment.” GMT said, “You ask for a list of different things as parts of one wish. However, I will not be small-minded, since I am medium-hearted.

“But all that you have asked for should be very easy to achieve if your countrymen start making intelligent use of the resources that economic growth generates. And this will work both ways: The advancement of human abilities resulting from these supportive changes will, in turn, help to sustain high economic growth in long run, because nothing, ultimately, is more important for economic growth than having a healthy and educated labor force (ask the Chinese, Japanese, Koreans and other Asians and they will tell you). That is the biggest lesson of East Asian development that India has missed. “

“Since we agree on that, may I put in a wish, dear goddess,” I said,” which concerns a peculiar judicial decision in India, which has recently recriminalized homosexual personal behavior. The British rulers had made that a criminal offence in 1861, and made many people vulnerable to black-mail by the police and to penalization. That Article 377 of the Penal Code was overturned by the Delhi High Court as being contrary to personal rights guaranteed by the Indian constitution, but then the Indian Supreme Court – represented by exactly two judges – has reversed the reversal, and made a strictly private behavior, once again, a social crime. Can you reverse the reversal pf the reversal, dear Goddess?” “Let me see,” said the Goddess, “How I can persuade the Indian Supreme Court to think again – may be they will listen more to the voices of the Indian people than to the plea of a goddess above the clouds.”

“Let’s go on, “continued GMT. “Do you really want another wish?” “May I? I wish we in India will recognize our strength because of the nature of the country as well as the opportunities given by India’s democracy, which has been skillfully used recently by Aam Admi Party (even though they have a lot to learn about on what their programs should really be). We have a lot of corruption, but it has become a major electoral issue, which, in a democracy, is the best way for a long run solution, which will require many administrative reforms. But there are many achievements already, and it is not the case that nothing happens here other than what the business community does, and the state, in particular, cannot achieve anything (as many people go on repeating) . India was the country of families until the empire ended, and we haven’t had a real famine since independence, thanks to public action, India was expected a few years ago to have the largest concentration of the AIDS epidemic, but the public attention and social engagement has removed that threat. Since polio eradication became a politically sensitive issue, things have happened and India is now polio-free. We had a super-cyclone in the fall coming from the Bay of Bengal, many times the size of Katrina in the USA, but the government moved a million people off the coast in a good time, and predicted disaster did not happen. Even though India’s record of social achievements is low, wherever they have tried hard to make a change – like in Kerala, Tamil Nadu and Himachal Pradesh – education and health care have surged ahead and so have economic growth, so that these erstwhile poor states are now among India’s richest. We can do things if we put our mind to it.

“Take gender inequality”, I went on. “There is a lot of attention that is right now being given to the incidence of rape in India, which is an improvement. But some recognitions are missing still. The reported rate of rapes in India is low (it is 1.8 per hundred thousand in India compared with 27 per hundred thousand in the USA and 29 in UK). There is surely a huge underestimation here, particularly when the victims come from the poorer and less privileged classes. But even after raising the Indian number ten-fold, the rate of rape in India would still be lower than UK, USA and most countries in the world. The main problem is not the high incidence of rape in India, but the difficulty in getting the police to cooperate and help victims, and for the society to take greater interest in sexual assaults on vulnerable women, particularly from the poorer and less privileged classes and castes. Some steps are being taken right now to change this, including stopping sexual trafficking of girls from very poor families. But much more needs to be done, and indeed can be done if we try.”

“People are very worried – and rightly – that selective abortion of female fetuses is so common and makes the female-male ratio at birth much lower in India as a whole than in the range for European countries. But nearly half the Indian states – in fact all the states in south and the east in India (from Kerala and Tamil Nadu all the way to West Bengal and Assam) – have female-male ratios at birth that are well within European range, and it is the fact that all the states in North and West have much lower female-male ratios than in Europe that makes the Indian average come out to be so low. So there is much learn from within India itself. Can you help in this, GMT, in making Indians less defeatist?” I asked.

“I can’t do that”, said the goddess, “it has to be the Indians who change their defeatist mind-set.” “That’s a letdown,” I said with frustration. “Not at all,” remarked the goddess. “I am telling you that you can solve these problems yourself – you don’t need anybody’s help. You have to know what the problems are, and how they can be solved.” “But, “I complained, “ even if it becomes clear what our problems are and how they can be solved, how can we share this knowledge, and make all Indians take an interest in our real problems?” “Well,” said GMT, “the social media can help, and – very importantly – you must read more books.”

“And,” GMT added, “the time has come for you to go to the Jaipur Festival – good reading! “ As the good goddess suddenly vanished beyond the clouds, I returned to my little GSAT-14, launched by the world famous GSLV-DV, to come straight to the festival. And I am grateful that you are all here. Thank You!”

This video could make some people tear up from the happy feelings!!

After seeing this video on YouTube, I could not resist myself from posting it here. It is a Thai commercial of an unsung hero.  I don't now what I should  write about this video. Really, I don't have any words. If you find some words to describe this ,share it on Facebook, Twitter or message it to your friend. (See the social plugins to the left side of the blog)


We talk big things, write big things, debate big things, criticize government policies to remove poverty, but hardly do anything in that direction. This guy took an initiative to change the world around him. We are smart people, we know mathematics, we know how to increase profit and minimize loss. but problem is, we, the practical men , 'only' know these things. He knows something beyond these things which is more sacred, more moral, more noble.

Do you know what is the sexiest and ugliest thing in the world is?


It is the seductive and destructive power of neatly placed words. It has heavenly and dreadful powers of being sexy and ugly at the same time.  

It can change minds, souls, and people. It can spread love, blossom the atmosphere of warmth, and cherish the likelihood. It can create war, hate among communities, envy and wrath among people.



Look what Mark Antony is saying. Look at the eyes of the crowd. How color of their eyes changing from white to red while listening to his speech.

Look carefully, what Alexander is addressing to his disheartened army. The army who was just talking about rebellion against him is now calm. They were angry, even now they are angry, but reason has been changing. Now they are ready to fight immortal.

Look at the Hitler; he is giving a speech in Germany. I am telling you, I didn't understand a single word from his speech. But that enthusiasm  made a goose bumps on my hands. Someone just told me that he talked something about winning the world. I know this is disastrous but I still want to believe in what he just said.

I am listening to the speech of Winston Churchill on radio. All my Englishman wants to end this war and surrender. But see, what magic is happening. They now want to fight till the last man lives on the land Of England.

Look, Abraham Lincoln is announcing the emancipation Proclamation. I can see the confidence and freedom in the eyes of my slave negro brothers.

Look, what Barack Obama is saying in presidential campaign. I can clearly see hope in eyes of people.

Look at the Charlie Chaplin, he is not even speaking, he is showing some expressions. But I don’t know why I am getting attracted towards him? I am the slave of the words, but he is not even speaking. Why I am feeling that the world’s most beautiful words coming out from his expressions.

I am going to catch these words. Will you come with me? I will put them in world’s safe locker and hide them in the deep ocean of books to hand over to future generations.

I am a true believer of God, but what just Mark Twain said, changing my beliefs. Am I atheist now? I don’t know. I really don’t know.

I like to hear war history, stories of the great warriors, their Hugh empires, their beautiful queens, astonishing palaces and uncountable wealth. But oh God! Suddenly I lost my all feelings about these materialistic things. Is this a impact of Gautam Buddha’s book I read yesterday night?  Maybe.  Maybe not.  

Please someone come and release me and my brothers from prison of the words. The more I want to come out of it, the more and more it is seducing me to stay. I am the victim of this seduction. I am telling you stay away from it. It will swallow you too.

After all the experiments on my life now I am learning what is sexy and what is ugly. I am realizing the seductive power of neatly placed words and destructive power of neatly placed foul words.

At the end of the day, oh lord, I am asking for only one thing. Give me power to differentiate, virtuous and evil, good and bad, heaven and hell, true and false.
Amen!!

AAP launches new software to find corrupt people: Political sixth sense

To get the new bust to the election campaign, Aam Aadmi Party has come up with mind-blowing software named as political sixth sense. This software is inspired from Pranav Mistery’s (MIT Scholar) sixth sense, but AAP leader Arvind Kejriwal told that it was his idea to make such software and filled a RTI against Pranav.
Kejri asking back his software from Pranav Mistry
This software can identify corrupt people. Not only this, it can also give criminal records, cases filed against that person, even over speeding charges. So everyone now fears to face Arvind Kejriwal. Our topmost sources said that, even Kejriwal is afraid to stand in front of mirror wearing this software.
Features of this software include:
1) You can dial emergency helpline number (which is not working from last 3 years) by keypad on your palm.

2) You can do sting operation by secret video recording.
3) It contains lie detector. It goes red every time Kejriwal coughs. Also you can have experience ofSach ka Saamna with Kejri. (Rajeev Khandelwal must be very unhappy, because that show was only way of income. He is planning to complain against Kejriwal to Lokpal )
Khaap phanchayat supported that Software but don’t want kejriwal to use against them. Aghories didn’t have any idea what is going on, but they supported him as they don’t have anything to hide.:P 
‘This software is not secular as it is showing most of the corrupt people from minority community’, Diggi Raja said to our senior correspondent in grief.
Rahul baba is happy with this software as he can watch Chota Bhim live show in-between any rally but giving serious look at public event he told that, ‘this software is of no use as it is not able to estimate Jupiter’s escape velocity.”
“Rahul baba can wake-up at night in morning, he has anti ageing formula, and he can empower any women that come in his way. Kejriwal is jealous of Rahul baba’s super natural powers. So he comes up with this bullshit software. This is big conspiracy theory”, Rajeev Shukla added in anguish.
This comment war reached to its peak when Dr. Subramaniam Swami tweeted on micro blogging site that, ‘this software should only used against Muslims.’ Rajnath Singh kept mum after Swami’s comment as he is contesting from Lukhnow.

This software can also able to detect the 'maa-behen' galiyan, so Raghu is in confusion whether to support this or not. According to him this function is completely against the Aam Aadmi behavior.  He is finding future of Rodies is in danger if he supports this.

From some days, no media noticed Sharad Pawar. Fearing this software, he might be in underground floor of Swiss bank.

(This article is submitted in Faking news website. Hope it will get published.)

Are we ready for open debate?




I have just seen a video of debate between the candidates contesting Bangalore South loksabha constituency. This debate was organized by Bangalore Political Action Committee (BPAC) - an initiative of citizens aimed at building a better Bangalore and to give an opportunity for the candidates of political parties to highlight their development agenda for the city to an invited audience.

I am extremely glad that they have taken the initiative and all candidates agreed to come together on same platform to discuss their vision. That usually doesn’t happen in India. Our leaders are more interested in commenting on someone’s character (rather than policies) behind the camera. But the people were not come to hear but to make chaos.


Even today, we are not interested in their development agenda, their plans but we are more interested in what language he is speaking, why he is not speaking in mother tongue. Why we are so much aroused when someone says that your community is in danger, your language will vanish in next 50 years but we did not get aroused when we are seeing our pathetic situation with our own eyes. We need to get our priorities right.

Look at the presidential debates, normal senate member’s debates in U.S. Even if they are no better than our leaders on throwing mud on each other’s character but at least people show interest in development policies and maintain a gentle decorum.

It is extremely good that candidates from Bangalore came on same platform. It didn't satisfy the purpose fully but at least they took precedence. Not only M.P.s but Prime ministerial candidates should also come together and discuss their self proclaimed progresses in debate. Even Indira Gandhi had not accepted Atal Bihari Vajpyee’s invitation for debate.

Open debate before election should be done in each and every constituency. Many times supporters, party make hugh bubble of their candidates. These open debates will poof the bubble or will grow bigger. Also more visionary and educated people will have chance.

So the purpose of writing this is, we need to be gentle to hear entirely opposite thoughts to our beliefs. Healthy democracy needs patience. If you have freedom of speech, then your political rivals too have that freedom.

Sad thing is- more than healthy discussions, we love verbal war and controversies. Most T.V. channels show whole day what one speaker told about another and what another one was replied.

Seriously? Grow up media and it is time for us to introspect.

Free to choose



Having physical relationship with opposite gender is so important, then why we have so much romanticized celibacy? If someone who want to make love with same sex is guilty then why not one who don’t want to have sex for his entire life? Isn’t it against the law of nature?

If you are asking them that if your mom-dad were of that type, would you be in this world? But my question is why you are not telling the same thing to the people claiming to be celibate? Instead we worship them. Our Indian society has always worshiped chastity of women and celibacy of men but not the celibacy of women and chastity of men. If your argument is –sex with the same gender is violating nature’s law and if this so called ‘mentality virus’ has spread then how would our future generations form? Same theory applies for the celibates. They too are not contributing to the survival of human race. I am not against celibates but this logic forcing me to give this counter argument. According to me, everyone should free to choose whether they want to be celibates, want to make love with same gender or opposite. 





Why we are not free to choose? Even BJP is opposing this thing. Then tell me why you are worshipping god ‘Ayyapan’? (FYI-Ayyappan is a Hindu deity who is believed to be an incarnation of Dharma Sasta, the offspring of Shiva and Vishnu (in the form of Mohini, his only female avatar)) This is ironic that you are opposing same gender sex but worshipping god who is offspring of same gender sex. (even if Lord Vishnu is in female avatar) Means you don’t have any objection if one of the two is in female attire.

So the next time you are opposing homosexuality, I would request to come up with more logical arguments? Nature’s law, really?

Just Blog!!! – See, think, blog...





“Fill your paper with the breathing of your heart.” – William Wordsworth.



Why there is a need to write a blog? Why should we waste time in writing something? Don’t we are having other important things to do? Most of the time, we see many interesting things happening around us but we don’t give a damn about them. Do you? No. A dark no. 

I have heard a very nice quote about people behavior by George Bernard Shaw. “Two percent of people think, three percent of people think they think and ninety five percent of people would rather die than think.”

When you blog, you actually feel the things, you analyze them, you find reason behind them. Do you think all stories you see or movies you watch are come from the fantasies of writers? No, actually they are taken from day to day life of common people. (Don’t tell me about Sunny Deol or Rajnikanth) Blogging is the great tool to express you. 

Who you are? You are same personality in-between your photo on driving license and your facebook profile picture. I am not talking about your looks but whole personality. What world see you or what you show to the world and what you actually are, there is some (or in many cases ‘Hugh’) gap there. You have opportunity to fill that gap by expressing yourself. 

If you want to write personal things, make a privet blog. If you want to tell something to your loved ones and you can’t tell that thing in front of them, write a blog and make blog visible to specified people. These all functions are provided by blogging sites. And if you want to tell something interesting or things you deeply feel about to all people out there, write a blog. You can see 10 years later that how you changed during course of time. How your thinking is shaped by the external factor or introspection. 

You read newspaper, magazines; watch movies, sport, I don’t think you agree with all the things you see or do. If you feel, let those feelings shape on your life canvas. If you are writing technical, social or other type of blog, your knowledge in that field increases multiple times as you read, search, stay updated about that field. 

When I find some interesting topic to blog, I search about that topic on Google and many times I find many other interesting topic or websites. Google is incredible and you got power to know about anything within a minute by using your mobile phone or laptop. Then why we are wasting most of our time on face book? Blogging has other benefits too, like if someone has same problems as yours, and he is reader of your blog, you are actually inspiring him and it is great feeling that someone has inspired because of you.

Blogging needs high dedication, regularity. Many of my friends who started to blog, they did it for 3-4 months and left it. Don’t do that thing. Be regular, be patient to be noticed by the millions of viewers on internet, stay calm and write blog. Remember one thing, at the end of the day design, theme all these things doesn’t matter. What matters is your content. If you are writing publicly and want to get noticed and want regular followers to your blog, emphasize on your content, because those who are visiting, they are not wasting their time to see only beauty of your blog but what they want is a good, thought provoking content. So do some work on that. 

If you want to get started, I would suggest making your blog on blogger, wordpress or tumblr. You will need initial investment of Rs.0 as they are all free and have very nice features. So let’s get started. I don’t need to tell you how to make that thing possible as you are all smart folks. At any point you stuck, ask ‘Uncle Google.’ 

Most of us are not comfortable with writing in English. With the help of Google IEM, write in any language you are comfortable with.

Happy blogging.

White lie or misleading truth?


What is right, what is morally correct? A lie or a misleading truth? To understand this, I am taking two examples.

Paula Jones brought a sexual harassment lawsuit against Bill Clinton while he was president. During the deposition for the Jones lawsuit, which was held at the White House, Clinton denied having sexual relationship with Monika Lewinsky– a denial that became the basis for the Lewinsky Scandal and the president's subsequent impeachment charge of perjury. 




He told that he did not have sexual relationship with Miss. Lewinsky but what American people understood was, he had not sex with her, and even representative of Carolina asked defence lawyer the same question. In defence argument, lawyer said that you are misinterpreted the statement of Mr. Clinton. He never said that he didn’t have sex with Miss. Lewinsky; he only talked about sexual relationship. (Watch the video) It is good example of carefully worded denial.

He could have told an outrageous lie but to maintain the dignity and moral code he told the misleading truth.

Here is the second example in Indian scenario. Before election, Mr. Arvind Kejriwal said that, he will end up ‘Laal Batti’ culture. What people understood that, their cabinet is not going to take the government vehicles. But after coming to power his cabinet ministers accepted the government vehicles without ‘laal batti’ and when asked about it by media, he told, “Yes, I had told that I will end up laal-batti culture but I never made a comment about not accepting vehicles.” So what would you call to this – a lie or a misleading truth? Actually he has not told any lie, but he put in such a way that people would misunderstood.

From these two examples, misleading truth may give temporary benefit. People do lie thinking other will not find that thing forever. But actually misleading truth is as bad as a lie according to me even if it pays certain homage to moral law and self satisfaction that 'I did speak truth.'

I conclude it by giving mythological example from the great epic Mahabharata.

Well, we all know this story of Guru Dronacharya and Dharmraj Yudhishthir. Battle was getting worse for Pandavas due to multiple aggressive attacks by Dronacharya. Lord Krishna gives solution to Pandvas that if we want Dronacharya to be dead, we have to find his weak point and his weak point was his son Ashwathama. So Krishna told Bhima to kill elephant named Ashwathama in their army during battle and asked Yudhishthir to tell that Ashwathama has killed if asked by Guru Dronacharya. Lord Krishna knew that Guru Dronacharya will surely ask Yudhishthir because he knows he never gonna lie. 





At that time Yudhishthir was in same situation of telling misleading truth. Bhima killed an elephant named 'Ashvatthama'. Then he loudly announced for all to hear, 'Ashvatthama' is killed. Ashvatthama is dead. Drona was stunned with grief. Asvatthama could not have been killed by anyone. He had the blessings of lord Shiva. Not able to believe Bhima, Drona turned to Yudhisthira and asked if that was true. Yudhisthira said, Ashvatthama is killed " Elephant not the Man " he added in a low voice and the last part of the sentence was lost in the loud blowing of the conch of Krishna, Panchajanya. Now, Drona was so full of grief that he put down his arms and with a sword, Dhristadhymna cut off his head. It is said that Yudhisthira’s chariot always, moved four inches above the ground. So strong was his commitment to dharma. He had never spoken a false word till that time. After this act, his chariot came down to earth and he became like any other mortal.

Even our mythology suggesting the same that, even if it is misleading truth, it is not better than a lie.

Justice -What's the right thing to do

Some days ago, I started to watch an interesting Harvard lecture series on Law. In this lectures, Mr. Michael Sandel has come up with the fascinating way to teach philosophy which everyone of us can digest easily, on many interesting issues. Nearly one thousand students pack Harvard’s historic ‘Sanders Theatre’ to hear Michael Sandel’s talk about justice, equality, democracy, and citizenship.

What I found after watching this series that- most of the times our thinking is biased about the things which surrounds us and we make impression of right or wrong without analyzing the other side. But when question has no correct answer there is only one honest response –the grey area between right and wrong.


Let’s take some of the cases which I find interesting.

If you argue, torturing people is wrong, how about torturing a person who is a suspect of planting a bomb which could cause thousands of deaths?  Is torture defensible if it yields valuable information? Or person’s human rights is first priority?

If law has made on stealing things, “Is a parent justified in stealing a drug for a child who needs it to survive if he could not pay?” Should law be different for different situations? And if it is justified then wouldn't people give justifications for every bad act they have done?

If government has policy of redistribution of wealth (means transfer of wealth from rich to poor) by additional taxation from rich people then isn’t it is forced labour? Let’s take an example. Bill Gates is wealthiest person and government asking him to pay 33% tax of his total income to redistribute that money to poor, then government actually asking him to work more and more to attain money he would have attained in first place. Isn't it form of forced labour?  

Is lying morally correct if situation demands even it hurts your dignity?  In many cases, the law can't be neutral on hard moral questions. Engaging rather than avoiding the moral convictions of our fellow citizens may be the best way of seeking a ‘just’ society.

These and many other cases discussed by Mr. Michael Sandel in a very narrative way and it makes us to think. If these cases interests you then visit this site.- http://www.justiceharvard.org/ 

I will discuss some interesting cases in my next blog. Peace.

Bullet- Prisoner puzzle

Here I am giving you a puzzle that I once heard from a senior. In an interview, interviewer asked him a puzzle and surprisingly he gave the right answer. At first I was not able to solve this puzzle. See, if you can solve. Don’t see the below answer if you want to solve.

“There is a prison in the middle of a desert. Suppose there are “n” prisoners. There is no fence or any other security measure in the prison. There is a police who is having a gun and it contains only one bullet. He will shoot the last person who would try to escape. How would prisoners escape? Would they able to escape or not? Justify. “

Note: Prisoners have little knowledge of game theory and will think before making any move. They lack unity to run all together or in group. No one wants to sacrifice his life for other. 
P.S. -Answer should be completely logical and 'Prison Break' series fans, please stay away...





Answer in comment bar if you got better explanation.

Harvey saved me!!



Today I had my breadth subject exam – ‘Effective learning techniques of professional development'. Oh wait! Don’t horrify about the course name. It has got only long title but nothing special in it. They should give us at least two numbers to remember such a long name of the course. But why I am telling you this? Because I had a very interesting situation in the exam that I think worth telling to you guys. 


There was a question in the paper that, being a smart entrepreneur how would you resolve the interpersonal conflicts in your organization using the emotional intelligence. And they asked us to give the example we might know. First part of the question was OK, but in the example part I didn’t recall any situation about conflicts in organization in detail with names. I thought for a moment, and what I get is the picture of Harvey Specter and Louis Litt from TV series Suits, fighting with each other.


  

There was no other option and Ma’am has already told us that your paper should be full of creative answers and I would able to get some new things after reading your answers. So I started the example part by how Jessica Pearson handles Harvey and Louis and converts their extreme desire to becoming better than other to grow her law firm. It is best example of how jealousy of one another creates interpersonal conflicts in the organization. Actually Harvey never wants to be better, he is already the great and absolute winner and that and that only thing makes Louis insecure and he envies him. It is the important quality of senior manager to isolate such personalities and get best out of them. Because when personal image is at stake, performance flourishes. That’s what Jessica does. Jessica is biased to Harvey but also knows the potential of Louis and she could not afford to lose him. Harvey has not only winning attitude, but it is in his veins. Harvey’s winning attitude and Louis’s contacts makes her firm better.




Those who didn't watch Suits I should say must watch if you are going to start any series. It is a corporate drama. If you love to watch TV series with best dialogues and perfectionist hero, then it is for you. 4th season I hope will air before April.

Devil's advocate


Problem statement:
Suppose you are driving through a narrow tunnel and a worker falls onto the road in front of you. There is not enough time for you to stop. If you keep straight, you will hit the worker and kill him, but if you swerve left into oncoming traffic, you will collide with the school b and kill at least five children. You hit the worker. 



You are dead somehow and these four people are deciding whether you be sent to hell – an opportunistic businessman, a sociopathic serial murderer, an unscrupulous politician and an aam aadmi.

Here is my story:
A moral side 
Murderer: This man should sent to hell as he murdered a innocent worker and didn’t even think once before doing such cruel, brutal thing.

Businessman: No! No! I beg to differ from you sir, but you are not considering that he didn’t have enough time to think at that moment. He just put the simple logic of ‘one over five’. We are discussing about his fate so it is not right to take such a judgemental decision. Even in the business, we think first about the side where loss would be less, don’t we? So I think this man is not guilty as you are accusing him.

Politician: Gentlemen, I didn’t like that you are discussing about what choices he had. Simple thing is- he had murdered one of the citizens from my constituency and he deserves to rot in hell. If you are not with my opinion and going to allow him in heaven then I will arrange a protest march in front of god’s home. (After all I should speak like I do really care about my citizens.)

Aam admi: Before you proceed respected juries, I would like to hear his side as you are giving opinion without giving him chance to explain.

Me: Thank you sir. As you know that I was driving in a tunnel and suddenly a worker falls on the road. I had only two choices- go straight and kill worker or kill five children. I am not going to tell you that I choose ‘one over five’ as said by one of you juries. I am not going to put a price-tag on a person’s life as it is not my right. Here I am giving a situation and just want to know that what you would have done in that situation. Shall I continue my lords?

Murderer: No! Absolutely no! All my fellow juries, I m surprised by his courage. He has murdered someone and without giving justification he is asking us question. This is ridiculous. He has chosen a working condition man over five children who were not benefiting the society. They are just burden. He killed a man who was working for welfare of all.

Businessman: I would like to hear about his strategy to deal with that situation, similar to removing employees in time of recession. So my vote is ‘yes’.

Politician: I am a leader and leader always stands on the shoulder of voters. So I want to give him a chance. My vote is ‘yes’.

Aam admi: As Voltaire said,”Even if I disagree with what you have to say, but I will defend to death your right to say it.” So my vote is ‘yes’.

Businessman: Gentlemen, here are three votes in his favour. So young man, continue what were you saying-

Me: Thank you so much, my lords. Here is my situation- Imagine you are a doctor. You have five patients waiting whose treatment you have done earlier. All of them are in serious condition and needs one organ in order to survive. First one needs heart, second one needs liver, third one needs brain, forth needs kidney, fifth one needs pancreas. You are expert in organ transplanting. Now a very young and healthy man comes to your hospital to routine check-up. So my question is- what will you do in this situation? You are having two options. Either you check that man and see those five men living miserable life where they are counting their days to hug the deathbed or else you have another option- you could give injection to man to lose his senses and remove all those five organs from him and transplant them to those five men. So I repeat what will your decision in this case?

Murderer: You can fool these people with your evil logic but I am not going to change my decision.

Businessman: I am going to answer this question. I will choose second option as I am giving life to five people instead of one. I stated my ‘one over five’ logic earlier. It is also according to ‘cost-benefit analysis’ theory.

Politician: I am not going to answer this question as it involves murder by me. I have very clean image among people and am not going to malign that for some silly, stupid question. You are sounding like Arnab Goswami. My simple answer is “No comments”. (Why should answer if I have not any benefit, neither politically nor monetarily.)

Aam admi: Young man, you are very smart. You have put us in exact same condition as you were in. I think it is about ‘karma’. In this situation, the healthy person has nothing to do with whether other five persons were going to live or not. If I was a doctor, I would have only check that man as it is my duty as a doctor. I am a doctor not God Vishnu to operate the world.

Me: Now my lords, there is a tie. Two of you answered my question and two of you don’t. So how can I believe that you are able to decide my fate when you are not able to answer my simple question? So my lords, please answer my question and after that whatever decision you would give that will abide to me.

Murderer: I am going for first option but I am not going to explain my side. (Anyway, I choose this because it involves death of five people or even slow death. These people never gonna know that..haha)

Politician: (vote share is greater in first side so why should I waste my vote…After all I am a politician.) With due respect to all juries, I am with first choice but don’t ask me for explanation as media is going to make hype of this issue.

Aam admi: (After discussing with all juries) so now the decision is taken. 1st option has 3 votes and second option has 1 vote. After discussion, we come to the solution that, “Life is matter of choices. Destiny has put you in the situation where there are very few choices available in front of you. You had chosen the best according to your self-conscious. So we are sending you to heaven. Enjoy.”

Me: (Eyes full of tears) thank you juries. Even if I haven’t believed in judiciary system on Earth, but you guys failed me. My faith in judiciary system is restored now. Thank you so much from the bottom of my heart for your kind decision.”
