The bigots think that entire world is of their kind

The bigots think that entire world is of their kind. 

They live in their Bubble bloating and rising, unaware and indifferent to the universe outside. 

They imagine what they opine is universal with the dogma kohl  blindness limiting their vision inside concocted kaleidoscopic world they hallucinate.   

They imagine that their every word has become gospel, because the exclusive cult within their Bubble, is of their own ilk which reverberates on their cues abjectly swaying with similar gush of bigotry and presumptuous denial of truth. 

So it also appeared to others from outside the Bubble who too start seeing dark reflections multiplying many folds with illusions of overwhelming supremacy on their social space too. 

For once the real world too appears to have succumbed to the lies. 

But some day when the Bubble bursts, as it always would, without a single exception ever in the entire history, they would find themselves alone, left shredded, looking for shelter out of  fear, self pity and remorse, blaming the world and the gods for what has been done. 

With their Bubble gone they would return to and hide in the hole they always had been. 

Neither the God they love nor the God they love to hate would ever be on their side to save them either here or in the world beyond. 

Time is warped entity, it would return next fold to the truth. 


Why being ancient is the only glory for some

It is not necessary to keep trying to prove and feel glorified that you are very ancient. 

It's fine. Relax. It’s ok. 

You can be equally or even be more  glorified if you happen to be just plain, modern, contemporary, forwarding community. 

Most of the supposedly ancient past, the many bigoted  cults and the races derive their pride from,  is either the latest WhatsApp gossip or three-four generation old offset printing fictional knowledge. 

From this pseudo knowledge they all individually define themselves, as most enlightened religion and the followers of ultimate truth. Obstinacy of this falsehood makes them believe that even science must get validation from their mythical, heresy stories. 

Why should it be so necessarily for them to seek genesis of every scientific hypothesis, irrespective of its rationale complexity, to have source from their faith and the religious way of life? 

If they really happen to be that much a great cult, they should possess good enough opportunities and abilities at present ( or even in vast upcoming future! ) to prove that, without looking for validations from mostly mythical past. 

When it would be time to leave this planet, and surely it would not be very distant in time, those who have their minds still compulsively hooked to the bows and arrows, arks, glorious stones, speaking animals, flying carpets, living dead, magical stars and planets, may be left here behind for good (or for never, as the time may also stop being time). 


Raavan was popular but for few years, so have been all evil

Raavan was popular and respected king for a FEW YEARS for being most educated, most powerful ruler of a large kingdom he commanded during his time. However, for next thousands of years he is still one of the most hated human of Hindu mythology worthy of being burnt every year symbolising that hatred. So was Hitler who too must have been awesome ruler for Germans for a FEW YEARS giving them pride of letting them dream to rule the world once. Now later, he, for decades, has been confined to dustbin of hatred and is considered most evil ruler ever to have existed in entire history and would probably continue to be hated and abhorred for centuries. Volumes of books and literature continue be created to amplify that hatred over and over again and none to celebrate the FEW YEARS of their ephemeral glory they enjoyed.


History teaches us good lesson that there is not a single example of EVIL continuing to find place of respect and adulation for more than a FEW YEARS. Evil would ride success for limited time only. They would be soon trashed into hell of abomination and contempt which would continue for millenniums. 

No one survived this repeatedly proven historical observation. Hitler, Idi Amin, Pol Pot, Saddam, Mussolini, Stalin, Raavan, Kans, Hrinaykashypu,  would never resurrect their lost glory ever again and would be hated till end. Let this be teaching and good hope for us.


Raavan by the way was good Hindu.

Boycotting China

Chinese would only laugh at our idiocy. Proportion of their trade in their favour with India vis a vis global business is actually an iota. We are going to hurt ourselves only. And many of the local manufacturers who are going hong ho on this boycott are those who had been selling low quality products to us and are finding this opportunity most apt to manipulate our choices towards that inferiority in name of patriotism, that too of the variety we middle class fall for.

Besides all these facts, mind you, the particular politico- business community which is mostly involved with Chinese trade is the one which won’t let this boycott happen even if India ends up losing its pride and sovereignty. They don’t care. 70% of bulk drugs are imported from China I heard the other day, so are the backend infrastructural project like telecom and bridges. 88% of components used in mobile handset industry are imported, 60% of medical devices in India are imported. Your iPhone, the components in your Samsung phone, the services which connects you to global hubs for enabling your web meetings, the buttons on your shirt, your tv, the modems you are using to connect to internet and writing social media posts, all have China somewhere.

And who would suffer? You and me , the middle class. No Chinese need to break an Indian TV in street to protest as there is none let that be absorbed. Let’s rather try that this whole narrative is told by a Chinese for India one day. That would be patriotism. Work for that now.

Could BCG be our saviour ?

Countries which abandoned BCG or never made it a part of universal vaccination programmes, are currently observed as heavily affected by the pandemic. However Eastern European blocks of former soviet influence like East German areas, are observed three times less affected than its western parts. Another example is Portugal which is finding itself much relieved. These are nations where BCG vaccination has been norm for over a century.



India, where BCG vaccination has been universally compulsory for almost 75 years, too can be positively observed as quite a good candidate to this case study, where Corona is so far unable creating havoc like we see elsewhere in many countries.
There is this interesting paper published much before term novel coronavirus was even heard, and it talks about BCG induced cross protection and trained immunity which goes beyond tuberculosis. BCG has been effectively found to reduce mortality among children and has been effective against risks of even respiratory tract infections and several other disease besides TB which it was primarily meant for.
Of course, the decisions to make it compulsory part of national vaccination programme was taken decades back and possibly could be one reason for it not getting serious social political attention for obvious reasons.

Zoom, China and Covid

Zoom never asked anyone to conduct their top secret official meeting on its platform. China has very large infrastructure to host several large data centers of many global tech companies and all datacenters and servers aggregate resources to provide uniform universal services.

Zoom of course had not been tested or even questioned ever by authorities because it was never a significant service provider. But Covid made it gain sudden huge popularity. They are doing improvements to manage user concerns as we see.

Large US companies like Microsoft which have been left sulking could be happy if zoom is targeted. And China is good tool to beat any trust. Zoom is only service of convenience and not known for tight security. But sudden jerk of corona left us with no choice but to use whatever was available. I would have preferred Microsoft Meet over zoom but for ease of convenience of zoom. Zoom is great so far we know that you don’t have to reveal your secrets out there.

Though Big US companies would always look for China connections in competitions to reclaim lost ground. Ignore them. It’s US which is worried to let slip away its monopoly and it is after anything non-US. Of course Defence Minister could have been careful.

Using Sanskrit quotes does seal arguments in India



In India, Sanskrit is used to give any proposition a finality, -QED-, without having to argue for rationality.

Why does one need to intersperse speech with sanskrit quotes to appear wise and superior?

Babas having known substantial influence over hoi polloi, owe it chiefly to their ability of quoting sanskrit texts on the go.

Many politicians, also, use this proven tool to wash away any trace of reasoning among their followers.

Sanskrit is rare language, not everyone understands. Sanskrit literature too is not read by most of us. But those who want to, can always do so. Like, most of us have not studied books on oncology or neurology or quantum physics. And those who did study these book, can possibly claim superiority over those who have not.

It's just someone knows something and others know something different..

Strand or renew? Future of energy

Will #StrandedOil eventually become a requirement than a fear - a positive? What if energy firms start letting expensive and difficult oil strand and start diverting investment to renewable energy? Though these thoughts, widely under discussions currently, may become true for country neutral big multinationals having large pools of discovered  oil and business alternatives for renewable. This will not be true for national oil companies in emerging nations where priorities of bearing the responsibility towards contributing  to fast national progress are paramount. Here meeting immediate demands for energy required for accelerating uplifting of underdeveloped society will matter more. The demand for fossil-fuel may eventually fall somewhere  in future while demand for energy keeps growing and renewable becomes more affordable and available...

Let them shun modern medicine and go to heaven

Let them shun modern medicine and go to heaven with pride of experimenting their jingoism!! How does someone who couldn't bear couple of days of fasting and had to, in emergency, take shelter of modern medicines in a hospital equipped fully with western designed machines, speak against those 'khataranaak chemicals' to sell products from his own dukaan. 

Why shouldn't it be matter of pride and integrity for all those who openly support and concur to someone selling products by only invoking jingoism and denigrating competition instead of scientifically explaining its qualities, to shun using all modern technological innovations including medicines and stopping queuing at local street clinics, pharmacies and crowding the hospitals for their cancers, broken limbs, dengue, crashing of their levers and blocked hearts, for their falling teeth, malaria, typhoids, for managing deadly diabetes, even coughs, for surviving polio and poxes, even for new contact lenses, for glaucoma, stroke and thousands more. 

They must keep head high after all.

For those who miss out a deserving elevation in the organisation

All those who think they deserve but could not find place in the promotion list, must know that it’s merely present management’s selection of what they think suits them for achieving what aims they envision for the organisation during the period of ability they command. It is no way a measure of your competence. And they have the right, being at helm. Your true worth is not in acquiring some designation of some organisation but is in what you are.

Life is in what we achieve in real and by ourselves in terms of happiness not what someone sitting on false elevation doles out in charity or reward of service.

Building career in an organisation could be many a times merely running on some narrow lane jostling with incompetent and unqualified ones which is not a race that would measure your true worth. World is wide and life engages broadly with society where you would be valued for what you are. 

Yours is specialised professional skill which has immense value for the organisation but some people when they become management think that this service would be anyway available to them because you would be compulsorily providing it out of your professional obligation and commitment which goes beyond your organisation. Hence incentivising your performance can be easily dispensed with and is not a priority for them.
