Freedom of speech and the current society

Freedom of speech and the current society

While Johnny was crossing the road, he accidentally steps on a cockroach and the cockroach dies in that impact. This is a small and insignificant incident in everyone’s life. We might have killed many such living things without our consciousness, we will never come to know the count. The passersby who notice and even those who don’t notice it directly will always judge us and make passing comments. This is how the society is and was. Thanks to the social media and freedom of speech as a constitutional right of every citizen in India, the words that are spoken are unlimited to even fit in the current Oxford dictionary.

It is said that people living in a joint family have a better memory power when compared to those who live in the nuclear family setup. The reason, as per psychologists and psychiatrists is that in a joint family setup, the family members speak about topics and share their memories time and again just like how it is played in a tape recorder again and again. This helps in people retaining their memories and moments better. Thanks to the social media, the nuclear family members are not left out. They get reminded about events, memories and instances in almost every site/social media app. Facebook is the frontrunner in such memory retaining technique.

Coming back to the above-mentioned insignificant incident, the passerby has plenty of options to express their feelings on the social media. Social media is filled with applications which gives users a host of options to express things in a catchy way. We have known that social media and the internet is a double-edged sword. Every innovation has both benefits and drawbacks. If the feelings that we share in the social media creates a positive impact on the reader’s life then we call it positive, else if it creates more hysteria and negative impression to life, we call it as negative.

Every government all over the world is suffering to cut down the nuisances and disturbances created in the social media. Along with the feelings expressed on the social media comes the issue of privacy and security. In the European Union, almost everyday the social media innovators are called for many kinds of discussions. These discussions mainly are to do with suppressing the fake news, privacy of individuals and the likes. The more we discuss the more complicated it becomes. Life comes to a full stop. Everything in the end stops at the point where it begins. It is the self, it is how we feel or express. It is how we perceive things. It is how tolerant we are towards each other.

There are plenty of pseudo intellects in the society who knows how to create disturbance in the society. It is a fun for them to see people taking up law in their own hands to seek justice to their own selfish emotions. I might be judgmental about this claim you may think. Let it be. I have been watching the trend of social media and the generic societal behavior. It is enough if everyone observes how the feel, react and express their feelings to others in personal relationships to find out who we really are. Then it is easy to follow the societal pattern and be judgmental about it. Without inner realization, we cannot realize the truth, the basics of human psychology and behavior.

“A moron has intentionally stepped on the helpless cockroach while walking, where are we heading.” – this is the trending headlines in Facebook, Twitter and other social media apps. This small headline grabs the attention of people. The reason being is simple, we are being fed with negative headlines for many years now and the media knows that what grabs the attention of the people is the negative story line. But has anyone even thought why we are so attentive the negative headlines rather than the positive ones that every media covers too?

If we start with exploring this point, then we will unveil the personality hidden in us. Once that is unveiled, we will start to question self. The things we like, we see, and we desire. Then it is easy to understand the whole psychology of perception. Our own perception would change. We will stop rejecting the societal headlines. We will stop rejecting the negative news channels and news creators in this world. That is the starting point of self-realization for me. The social media has positive news and content also, but many of us miss to see them due to the busy bombardment of reality shows, competitions like “America/India got talent” and etc. We get lost in the jungle. Someone rightly said internet is a jungle. We need to tread our path carefully and consciously.

Nudity and sexuality

Why there is so much hankering for sex, nudity and genital parts of a human? Why are humans so corrupt? Why are there so much evil behind these? 

I know these are the questions lingering in everyone's mind. I know most of you by now would have declared that sex is bad and hankering for sex is a sin. I know most of you would be condemning your thoughts as well as the entire society for making you mad.

Well, do remember that your body, your whole life is created as a outcome of sex. If you can get this fact, then you wouldn't condemn sex as it is. Now you will ask, then is sex good? So you want us all to have free sex with anyone and everyone? Good question, but your analogy is wrong. The way you fill your mind with the madness of sex is wrong. Why this madness and overload of sexual thoughts in your minds? The reason being, you are being condemned by the society to not to talk or think about sex, really!

The whole of religion, all the religions in the world condemn sexuality. They say it is a sin, of course the whole concept of god (Lord Ganesha, Lord Muruga), son of the god (Jesus) says that only divine beings are born without sexual intercourse. They are the only saints in the world, not others, especially humans. Even our birth is condemned by the society! How hypocritical people are! They condemn even our birth because we were born through intercourse. May be that is the reason why now a days many female are not able to conceive babies, this thought has entered deep into their sub conscious mind perhaps!

The whole world is kept mad, due to conditioning and condemnation. There is chaos everywhere. Even a small child gets raped in every street corner now a days. What is the reason behind it? Your condemnation for sex, nothing else. If the society was left free to discuss and share sexuality, then there will not be such chaos as we see now. In fact that is why in ancient hindu society you see wall paintings with sexual poses. They openly preached sexuality as a natural thing and nothing to be ashamed of. Now look at the society how they are turning out to be. Really shame on humans for condemning everything and anything.

We all love nature, there is no second thought about it, but do you know why? Because nature is nude. They don't cover up like you and I do. They all express their nudeness without fear.

We all love flowers, do you know why? Because they are the genital organs of the plants and trees. What you are capturing on the camera and mobile? It is the vagina of the plants! Without shame and without fear, we are able to enjoy the sexuality of the nature, but not that of our own? How hypocritical this humanity is! I am really perplexed!

Unless and until each and every man realises this nature and lives in harmony with the nature, the madness and chaos that we see in this world will never finish. Accept the nudeness and sexuality in you. You are born without a clothe and die without it. You are born out of sex and will die splitting the seeds in your body, really have you seen any dead man, their semen will spit out and penis will be erect after death.

The nature is beautiful, accept it, do not fight against it, there is beauty in the nature and it is time that you realise this and grow matured enough.

2012 - We enter

There have been lot of hypes and scare surrounding the year 2012. Many people fear this is the year when our world would come to an end.

Some people rejected the hype as nonsense and try to play out the fears out of people's mind.

What I feel is that we are entering into the stage when the World starts to end from this year on. It does not mean that our world would end this year itself, but that the stage has been set for the world to end in about million years from now on.

Do not panic, and do not try to get into too much details. Speaking philosophically, do good and the good will come back to you ; do bad and the bad will come back to you even strongly. This is the phrase and belief which Hindus believe the most.

So please from at least now try to clear your mind from bad thoughts and pessimistic view of the world and try to bring in the positive thoughts. Whenever you will bad about something or some situation, try to cut that thought saying "No you are wrong. It should be like ***positive phrase***."

After all it is our thoughts that is driving this world and our life. So please make the most of the opportunity and keep your mind occupied with good thoughts. Let us bring in a world of positive thoughts filled with love, joy and unity.

Number Eighteen

Why is that number 18 has so much significance?

• The right to vote comes at this age.
• You are called an Adult once you attain this age.
• You are an minor if you are less than 18. No not even 1 month to 18, you are still a minor.
• Adult rated movies are for 18+ audience only. This and point 2 are mutually inclusive :).
• You feel adrenaline pumping and your hormones raging seeing the opposite sex when you reach eighteen.
• In Mathematics, Eighteen is a composite number (its proper divisors are 1,2,3,6,9).
• Adding to the above point, Eighteen is a semi perfect number (three of its divisors 3,6,and 9 add upto 18).
• In Chinese tradition number 18 signifies that one is going to prosper. Thus building floors numbered 18 are expensive in China.
• In Northern China however, number 18 is to be avoided since it represents the 18th level of hell.
• The Hindu epic Mahabharata has eighteen sections, involves eighteen armies and is about a war fought over eighteen days.

Five Years of Profession

Happy to grow in Career!

The Eleven

I wanted to post this on 11th of January but due to lack of time and resources I am posting this today. Hope you all like it.
 
The Eleven

Today being a special day (11-1-11) I attempt to bring in on memoirs, those wonderful moments of a Game, which is loved in each and every part of the Country. After all, Cricket is a game played by eleven players a side, isn’t it? Nice coincidence to start this topic I must say. I know most of you, like me, are obsessed with Cricket. For a few it is just another game played by eleven fools and followed by eleven thousand fools (as said by John Bernard Shaw). For the rest, they just ignore it. Cricket is a passion especially in India and nobody dares to deny this fact.

We started watching Cricket when Kapil, Gavaskar, Pataudi, Ravi Shastri, G Viswanath and the likes were at their final stages of their Cricketing career. Most of us were born either a couples of years before or after the Glorious World Cup triumph. Then we grew up watching Sachin, Manoj Prabhakar, Srinath, Prasad, Raju, Azharuddin etc in action. Some of them were the reason for our motivation to play this great Game. We loved batting all the time, didn’t we? More than bowling, batting was a matter of Pride for us. We wanted to hit the ball all around the park.

Most likely most of us would have started our playing Cricket with the tennis ball. When the ball was new we loved to bowl Pace bowling with it and when it was considerably old, one or both sides of the canvas was torn, we used to bowl spinners. We started learning to hit the tennis ball only on on-side. Off side runs were prohibited those days due to space constraint/players constraint or weather constraints (due to wetness in ground on one side). We learned the trick to hit the ball out of the park even when the ball was bowled wide outside off stump, the very scene would have made Azharuddin, G Viswanath and Laxman proud of.

When there were too much of water in the ground, we would fight against local fellows to get some space in the Basket ball court. Even the Basket ball players would be obsessed to play with us instead of playing their game. We drew stumps using the slippers of players, piling one over another. The scene, the drama would be so amazing. Two teams hardly a meter away from each other would be playing so close to each other and cause chaos. Most of the hits which are so important would be prevented from crossing the boundary by someone from team ‘A’. And he would throw the ball to his team’s bowler, who would wonder who hit him like that and throw the ball further down the line to some other guy who is waving his hand 10 meters away for his ‘B’ team mate to throw the ball for a run out. Apparently the ball would take a 360 degree round trip and come back to the original team ‘X’, by which time the batsmen from team ‘Y’ would have run more than 6 runs.

It would be fun to watch the strategy when people play using rubber balls instead of tennis balls. The bouncers that they bowl would keep any batsmen under threat. People would think even Aussies or Proteas can’t handle our bouncers, such fierce bounce they produced using the rubber balls. Moreover, with rubber balls the pace bowlers would seem faster than B Lee, even fiery. Batsmen would run to the offside when the ball is bowled on the leg stump to prevent the ball from hitting their butts.

Back home, at 4 o clock children would gather around their streets to play Street cricket, popularly known as Gully Cricket. Children would play so interestingly that any disturbance in the form of Vehicles movement would be severely dealt with. Either the motorist would be hit or chased. Apparently children prefer playing with tennis balls here; it is the best for the tar road pitch. At least the chances of breaking the glass windows are less when tennis ball flies. When the climate is not conducive to Gully Cricket, Children played Cricket inside their house in a room. Yes in a room, if your memory takes you through, good, else I will project that also in the coming paragraphs.

We used ping pong balls, tennis balls, softy balls, paper balls. Each one was best in its own way. Play with ping pong balls when you are planning for a one-pitch catch mode of dismissal. Play with tennis balls when you are playing in a relatively bigger hall or something and with your brother or sister. Play with softy balls when there are babies around. Play with paper balls when you run out of all the above options. Paper balls were the best innovative finding I have seen so far. So innovative which my mom thought me :). Take some old news papers which you consider as useless, take say 3-4 pages and then crush them between your hands making a round shape. Once done, take one plastic cover and put this paper rolled ball inside and make the round shape and burn one end with fire in order to make the plastic cover stick over and prevent the paper from falling outside. Your paper ball is ready in less than 2 minutes. Even noodles preparation would lose in front of paper ball preparation.

If there were no company to play with, we used to take a tennis ball and dash it against the wall in the room and with a bat in hand. Our reflex action needed to be amazing. Between the time the ball is thrown over the wall and it returns, you were supposed to clasp your bat with both hands. This was one way to keep us occupied and increase our forearm strength also. You would speak Cricket, play Cricket, discuss Cricketers and emote cricketing events like Four, Six, and Out etc whenever you are bored and playing alone. And when we grew, we bought our own Cricket bats, specifically Oil bats those days and seasoned them using Cricket ball inside a sock hung by a rope in your verandah or balcony.

Those were the days, we lived and breathed Cricket. This great game has come of age, new inventions in the form of IPL, T20 have evoked heavy fan following all over the world. The tradition may age, but the passion for the game will never age. We will still be finding innovative ways to make Cricket interesting and one day we will all watch only Cricket in Olympics events. Such is the charm of Cricket.

PS: I have made references to Wikipedia in trying to list out a few important events.

Changing Numbers

My friends and family members are now furious on me. This is the third mobile number that I am changing in 6 months time :P.


What will I do, poor fellow, I have been trying Tata Docomo, BSNL till now, both looked promising in the initial stages. But as time passed by, their network seems to have lost the flair. Something is wrong somewhere, Can't get a proper signal anywhere inside office or inside home.

This made me to think about going to a bigger private player, Bharti Airtel. I have bought their services this time. To my surprise their network picks signal inside the office but not at home :(. Hope I continue using this service for another 6 months at least.

Please friends don't bash me if I again change the network to some Vodafone or Reliance :(. Hope Airtel would not make me do such acts again :P.

Medical Business!

Now a days Doctors are doing business with Patients in Hospitals in India. They are keeping the patient in ICU for 1 or 2 weeks and in the name of treatment they are collecting heavy cash from the patient by scaring the whole family saying the patient has so many diseases.



Hospitals wantedly modify patient's body parameters like Blood Pressure, Sugar etc in order to scare the patient's family further. They never reveal this information I say! They never inform that patient’s sugar level has gone up so much because of some medications given by the Hospital itself. They hide this information unless we investigate and bribe attendars thoroughly.


I had a torrid experience this weekend at Hyderabad - Usha Mullapudi Cardiac Center, where the patient was none other than my Father. Had a terrible time in the Hospital, my dad is now out of danger thanks to my family members and relatives, he was discharged with high Blood Sugar levels. Anyways what matters now is that he has been discharged and he is feeling alright and relieved so much now.


Doctors, whom we regard as GOD are no more GOD, I get so irritated to see such behaviour and attitude from highly learnt people who play with patient's body experimenting their drugs etc and give panic pills and bills to the whole family. I really doubt how many genuine doctors are there in India.


I can only recall the film in Tamil named Ramana, whose lead actor is Vijayakanth. In that film that hospital episode is so true, trust me guys, really Medical Services has become a Business now. Never experienced such things so far in my life, this was a horrible experience which I will not forget until my death.


PS: Never reveal to hospitals that you have Medical Insurance, it is highly dangerous, they will surely trap the patient for at least one month with huge bills thereafter.

Birth Date Coincidence

I was born on Deepavali (Diwali), the festival of lights. It was an Amavasai, and people used to say that those born on Amavasai will be dark in color and also would be a thief or robber. None of the above claims happened in my case.

I have some unique information to share, my birth date of 4th Nov was a Deepavali and not every Deepavali will fall on 4th of November. I was told that my Birth Date coincides with Festival of Lights every 9th year, it happened when I was born, then in the 9th and 18th year respectively. My 27th Birthday just got passed but this time Deepavali was on 5th Nov. I am wondering why Deepavali did not happen on 4th Nov. I really missed it badly, hope when I turn 36 it will coincide.

Someone Special Birthday

Yesterday (31-Aug) was the birthday of someone special in my life. 

The person is the one who coaches Cricket for downtrodden and the rich alike for free of cost, yes absolutely free of cost!! 

The person is the one who teaches Mathematics for the downtrodden and the rich alike for free of cost, yes absolutely free of cost!!

Can't believe it? The person also helps downtrodden people with some finance help without expecting a return from them. The person also has tie up with his student owned Corporate to employ Sports person (Cricket only) and to play for their Corporate Cricket Team.

He is the person with dedication, passion, compassion, clear vision and service in his mind always. He is none other than my lovely Father.

I did not know what to gift him yesterday but thought a good novel or story book would do, so I inquired my friends which book would be interesting and thy recommended "Alchemist" by Paulo Coelho. Gifts are incomplete without chocolates for my father, hence I added the gift pack with Cadbury Celebrations pack. My Father was very happy to receive the gift. He even started reading the novel :).

Long live my Father's passion for Cricket and Mathematics.

Important Attributes - Patience and Self-confidence

"When the going gets tough, the tough gets going" - Splendid lines, indeed! 

But the above said statement is stylish and incomplete. How does the Tough get going? Just like that? Move on  forgetting about the disappointments? Well the answer is tough and incomplete. But what I learnt in my life when I faced such tough times is to learn to be Self-confident and try to maintain some patience while dealing with the matter.

The said attributes so important for any human being. You need to exercise it, you cannot be taught about it. You need to be confident and positive about yourself, your outlook and believe that you can change around the tough times into fruitful ones. Don't get bogged down by disappointments or brood over them for a long time, of course we can't stop brooding since we are normal human beings, but try not to over react to such situations. Just be patient enough to watch how things proceed, always have a positive outlook towards future, but keep your expectations to minimal.

Another important factor you must remember yourself during tough times is to be Self-confident. Believe in yourself, first love yourselves and trust your own knowledge, intuition and wisdom. This is really important and it will help you overcome any disappointments in life. If in spite of practicing these two virtues you fail again, never mind, just bite off the dust and say that the third invisible/uncontrollable component namely "Luck" is not in your side. Remember that it is a matter of time before good things come back.

Where is the limit?

I have seen many people wanting to reach some milestone every now and then in any form of work, especially in Software industry. The milestone may be in the form of "Money" or "Position" in the organization. Mostly "Position" and "Money" have a positive correlation. I sometimes wonder what is the limit for these guys and put myself in the list. But I am a different person altogether. My interests have subsided, my limits are narrow and I know what I want and am happy with what I got.

These people receive nearly 1 lakh per month salary and yet they strain and stress themselves to earn more forgetting about Family and Health and most importantly they grow to become the worst character in life-workaholic and arrogant. Why is that because our elders and puranas used to teach us that Money should never go above our shoulders, cause it will swallow us! There is a limit for everything and anything. And I have seen people who have gone berserk like that.

I am really thankful that I don't have high ambitions in terms of "Money" and "Position" cause I know that whatever I get I deserve it, If I don't I won't be hanging on that for a long time. I have seen many people demanding for their needs, but I am not like that in my workplace. I believe that Credit is valid when u Deserve it not when you Demand it.

Many a times I keep wondering and discuss this topic with my wife, "What's the limit for all this?", "Why are people so greedy?", "Why am I not like others?", "Why is that I don't find interest in excess money?". Nobody knows the answer, even me, but all I can say is that I know my limit and happy with what I got - A good Wife, Good life, A Bike and House-hold items for daily work. I don't own a house, I don't own a A/C also. But I don't care, I know that If I deserve that I will get it some day, at least my children will owe me one. It is high time people stop for a second and rework on their interests and real needs/wants.

Rain washes out India's fate

Rain is believed to be one of the form of GOD namely "Varsha" in Hindu mythology. GOD protects us as many of us believe. He protects us from drying up during summer time in the form of Rain. He brings water to us. He washes away thousands of families, but sometimes he gives water to those who are in drought.

He did the same for India in the name of monsoon covering 95% of Northern India and protecting them from sweltering heat and drought conditions. Jai ho Rain god!

On a lighter side he has saved the face of Indian Cricket team by interrupting play in the 3rd ODI and washing out the 4th ODI in style in the currently concluded India's tour of Westindies.

It is raining now in Chennai, do not know whether the fate is going to be favorable or not. Let us wait and sail over the inundated streets of Singara Chennai!
Thanks to uninterrupted downpour, it has given some smile on the face of Indian fans, who will cherish the victory for a long time to come after India's famous debacle in 2009 T20 world cup.

India out of 2009 World T20

Well what may be the reason? Poor batting? Poor bowling? Poor fielding?
In my view it's because of poor captaincy + all the above!

India did not look like the side that were in 2007 world cup. They certainly seemed to be down in their confidence and character. They batted poorly, bowled horribly and fielded terribly bad! If you see all the winning sides in the competition- West Indies, South Africa and Srilanka - they are all having an edge in their fielding. They are brilliant in the field, they take catches, save runs and are very agile in the field.

India did not look like it was going to qualify for the Semi's ! They somehow qualified for the Super Eight's thanks to the weak group members- Bangladesh and Ireland! Even Canada may win against these two teams and India won matches against them too closely.

One thing I have noticed is that Dhoni as a captain and Batsmen did not click this time. His team selection was poor, his bowling options were poor- he played wrong bowlers at vital parts of the match. Moreover clearly visible thing was Dhoni's batting mix up in the tournament. He kept Raina out of No.3 spot for a couple matches before he went absurd at the Press and was forced to give Raina his own spot. Dhoni was seeming a bit irritated at things with Sehwag who hid the injury before Team selection.

This time it was clear that either South Africa or West Indies are going to clinch the coveted T20 World cup. Lets wait and watch! And for India- it's failure is because of only one man - the overrated MSD. He flawed in his batting order preferences and bowling options. He seemed very stubborn and irritated than what people thought he was one year back. Something is wrong in the Indian dressing room. Time for serious retrospection!

What will happen if 2011 World cup is held in Pakistan- a joke

Let's imagine what will happen if 2011 Cricket World cup is held at Pakistan. Whom do you think will win the cup? India? Australia? Srilanka? South Africa? or England? Whom do you put your money on? Hmmm..? Very difficult to predict? Well my guess is very simple and easy :).
I will go with Pakistan.

How?

Simple..

Here is how it is..

Plan: Pakistan will qualify for Semis and then to Finals through their fierce attacks.

Prediction: Final will be a one sided game with Pakistan winning by a huge margin! Opponents would walk away fearing Pakistan's fierce attacks. PCB would claim that opponents (finalists) ran away fearing our attacks, so the World Cup (of terrorists) has been officially awarded to Pakistan :-).

Outcome: What a drama that would be hehehe..

Oracle Buys Sun, My Google Adsense got disabled, Congress won the elections

Lol. It was surprising to see Oracle buy out Sun Micro systems, one of the hardware and (Java) giant!

Sadly in the midst my Google Adsense account got disabled without a valid reason, I am angry with Google. This is too much! Fuck you!

Lastly, once again Congress won the elections, people voted for stable and good governance once again! History was made once again in this 2009 LS elections! What a display by democratic giant! Jai Hind!

Time to vote for the least corrupted one

Well All Indian Folks, time has come to vote for the least corrupted politician on Indian Soil. Gear up and keep your index fingers ready to vote them and help them corrupt this nation more and more..

I can't control my anger when thinking about Elections. Won't ever justice prevail on earth? When will people live for food and shelter rather than money and money and money to the power of corruption, bribery, greed and injustice? All corrupt politicians stand in constitutions toiled by litter and garbage of every household. People would vote for the least toiling politician! Haah?

I do not know when our nation would come out of this corrupt practices. Only GOD should save this country. I don't know if someone will come tomorrow saying he is GOD's son and vote for him to clean this place. Don't get cheated by such people, use your intuition and soul to judge people. Don't fall pray to sexual desire called money and greed.

Let at least GOD save our people. We trust on him! At least I ...
