Biographies- Need for short biographies and documentaries.

 

Biographies- Need for short biographies and documentaries.

 

 

Unfortunately, except for some Amar Chitra​ katha books we hardly try to make short biographies of great and good souls and achievers. 

 

Especially their journeys, experience and perspectives. 

 

For example, whenever you listen to an interview of Kapil Dev or Sunil Gavaskar , they may not or need not be giving lectures on sacred scriptures or indulge in sermons or preach but their approaches, perception and perspectives are refreshing.

 

Similar is the case with many doctors because they are dealing daily with people with pain, trauma, tragedy and terrible situations. 

 

There is a need to document life experiences of people from a wide spectrum of life because that will enable one to appreciate the good and great.

 

Get inspired and motivated and learn from the mistakes and refrain from repeating the same etc. This is where the West is ahead. 

 

Even when we write biographies, we resort to hyped hero worship, personal glorification rather than what they contributed, how and why and in what way those contributions helped society etc.

 

We make biographies into a directory of  mutual appreciation club members or clients of  ego massage parlours.

 

Whereas , see these types of books, which I bought a few years back. 

 

Book reading

The amount of slogans, tweets, greeting card industry products, SMSs, and news bytes can bite into the space of books.

Meme-literate millennials, WhatsApp warriors, Facebook frontiers, social media superficiality specialists, MSM (mainstream media) mafia of manipulators of mass opinions, sensationalism-seeking reporters, and armchair specialists in the anchor room—to all of you, greetings on World Book and Reading Day.

In the future, value the importance of reading books, now easily available at a click of a mouse, before manufacturing justifications for your conclusions.

Reading, learning, urge to understand and teaching are lifelong processes.

 

Reading, learning, urge to understand and teaching are not mere skill sets that get enhanced by memory, information and knowledge but are lifelong passion nurtured by unquenchable and everlasting curiosity and to think anew, to dive deeper to fathom the depths of any topic, wrestle with ideas and so on. 

 

In fact, the best learning happens while teaching and best teaching happens with passion to share , enthusiasm to enable others to sip the joy of learning and engage in an endless joyous journey of searching for new pastures in the field of knowledge, ask multiple questions,  clarify self-doubts and seek more answers.

 

Learning and teaching are lifelong processes.

 

Teaching is not merely passing of information and downloading knowledge ( if it was merely that, then internet Search Engines are enough-though they are important aspects of learning) but igniting the passion to learn, empowering with the boldness to ask uncomfortable questions, inspiring to engage in constant learning. 

 

Academic qualifications like positions of power depends on how we use them, if they are used to merely flaunt some prefixes and adding alphabets as suffixes, they may impress the naive and gullible. 

 

Mahakumbha Mela-Great unique lessons to learn

 

                                        Mahakumbha Mela

Still, see the overall MSM bias in not highlighting the positives and, as the above message factually conveys, the negativities (listed in the message), which are the cause of social, political, and humanitarian issues and problems all in the garb of religion. 

 

I think the points in the message must be made to go viral through social media platforms like Twitter, Instagram (pictures, videos), TikTok, etc. 

 

I also feel that every minute of every square meter of the activities must be documented for various studies of huge gatherings, which got mostly self-regulated with voluntarism, collective cooperative efforts, and most importantly, everyone moving around without any inhibition. 

 

Really the biggest great event. Obviously, there would be or could be or may be certain shortcomings. 

 

However, overall, what a great gathering of millions of individuals, millions of small groups each performing their own rituals and prayers as part of their own faith, blind beliefs, and their journey of spiritual seeking (whatever labels one may want to assign), but most importantly, no individual cult leader, specific religious leader, or particular scripturally prescribed rite or practice enforced by any single priest or saint or sadhu. 

 

There was a grand display of REAL FREEDOM of spiritual seeking and religious worship without even an iota of INSTITUTIONALLY ENFORCED or any specific or SERMON-DRIVEN HOMOGENIZED WAYS of performing anything.  

 

Bombastic

 

Guess what that sentence means?

 

The following passage is plagiarized [part within quotation marks—with slight changes; the whole book is interesting] from one of the books I used to fancy reading.

 

FM's economic understanding: People feel like saying, "Our untimely labefaction has left us feeling somewhat lactiferous, and although we do not intend to indulge in any longanimity, we do admit to a vague sense of lypophrenia. . . . And furthermore, we are not diversivolent, but we feel there was absolutely no nonfeasance or murcidity on our part, and we think the whole thing is a real proctalgia.”

 

In his first formal interview since being dumped as treasurer, the erudite Mr. Ralph Willis seemingly could find no more eloquent way of expressing his emotion than “I’m very pissed off.” [He should have said:]

“Well, actually my untimely labefaction has left me feeling somewhat
lactiferous, and although I do not intend to indulge in any longanimity, I do
admit to a vague sense of lypophrenia. . . . And furthermore, I’m not
diversion, but I feel there was absolutely no nonfeasance or morbidity
on my part, and I think the whole thing is a real proctalgia.” (Megan Turner,
“Five-Star Words,” Courier-Mail [Brisbane, Australia], 3/14/1992.)

 

Clue: only a four-letter sentence. 

 

How does one define technologically advanced?

 How does one define technologically advanced?

1) Is it by the R& D spending and number of successful R&,D outcomes with globally accepted patents  ( Then, USA- but INDIA a big ZERO), 

2) Is it about delivering 'indigenous fully/ completely ( meaning all parts) manufactured or produced usable technological hardware/ software/ tools ( Then we have USA, CHINA, SOUTH KOREA, JAPAN, RUSSIA are there but INDIA not at all visible - let us not feel ashamed, but that is the reality , note down each and every word in  the statement),

 3) Is it about manufacturing big machineries to manufacture those hardware and tools ( Then, we have USA, GERMANY, CHINA, DENMARK, NORWAY-again India nowhere), 

4) Is it about Innovation and invention of most modern technologies ( Then we have Israel, USA, CHINA, JAPAN, SOUTH KOREA, SWEDEN- India insignificant numbers that too mostly improvements or modification of existing technology), 

5) Maximum number of people using or at least know how to use, repair, reproduce, assemble, duplicate etc. ( Then India is number one). 

So, when one says 'technologically advanced' one needs to know what one means by it. 

Jargon Monoxide Phobia is unwarranted

 

                                 Jargon Monoxide Phobia is unwarranted

It is not jargon monoxide but unreasonable interest rates, irrelevant regulations, and excessive government interference rather than providing a business-friendly ecosystem that is killing most businesses.

I don’t think in the corporate world anyone, especially the bosses or managers, would go out of the way to put in efforts to learn merely to boast about their bombastic skill sets or their pedagogy. For businesses, profits and targets are a greater priority than prolixity involving pleonastic cant or galimatias.

I can take each sentence cited in this write-up and prove why every word used has its own relevance in present-day commerce.

 

If at all, there are a few instances of excessive verbiage, as in most trends in many domains; they have percolated from political leaders and religious preachers. *1

 

Excessive LEFT-WING theoretical ideology; the malign, cancerous WOKEISM-driven, self-appointed neo-socio-moral police in the media, echo chambers, and fanatic religious doctrine promoters; and RIGHT-WING cultural policies have created an atmosphere of hypersensitivity that cherry-picks any communication or statement or rips it off from the relevant context, overreacts, and activates outrage manufacturing factories, all of which have led to loss of sense of humor, lack of scientific authenticity, and lack of sensitivity to time-tested value-based traditions and cultures as well.

 

All the above have forced any medium of communication to be hypercautious to be controversy-free, comprehensive, and comprehensible; calibrated (gender-neutral, non-racist, apolitical, and secular—I have forgotten the meaning of this though); diplomatically and politically correct; universally usable; relevant to the context; and bla bla. This has made any medium of communication become too elaborate, but ensure to avoid controversies, ambiguities, scope for excessive scrutiny, etc.

 

Besides, communication must ensure there is no scope to perceive any hidden agenda based on irrelevant extrapolations and must not carry any load of undercurrents, overtones, or ulterior motives.

 

In these situations, more nuanced expressions along with the necessity to drive home that the listeners do understand the nuances become a priority, and brevity an unaffordable privilege. It is like an elaborate Raga alapana, and the performer too likes to enjoy the art of packing as many nuanced expressions and using a range of possible aspects or features rather than a dry command of this or that. For example: - “We need more cash.” [When the financial space has been declared as a ‘cashless economy’—passed off well as a slogan and blindly parroted by many when what it meant was 'physical currency [notes/coins] free.' A similar goof-up, like ‘social distancing’ [it has already been growing in modern societies], when it ought to have been 'physical distancing.'

In the corporate world, things are too competitive, and with the enormous amount of emerging and new technological developments happening almost every day, brevity may be a vulnerability, as fear of possible scrutiny of failure in retrospect even remotely leads to omissions in communication. 

 

Communication in every situation cannot be shrunk to a time slot or space-restrained advertisement lingo. 

 

Most of the legal language (may sound too prosaic and lengthy as law cannot indulge in romantic lingo) and corporate communication is not mere hoarding lingo and cannot be construed as senseless verbification and verbal justifications to alter the nature of the thing/attribute/concept being verbalized but more to ensure avoiding omissions.

 

When certain concepts or attributes evolve (like everything else), the expressions too make the necessary adjustments and create a whole carapace of connotation to convey the evolved state or add multiple concomitant categories in expression.

 

At the same time, if we delve too deep into the etymology of words used and decide to merely stick to the denotation, we may be surprised to know these facts.

 

Once upon a time the following was true. Lengthy explanations are often a smoke screen that people hide behind. This observation from Ray, a seventeenth-century English naturalist with a great fondness for proverbs, may have inspired one of George Orwell’s best-known lines: “The great enemy of clear language is insincerity. When there is a gap between one’s real and one’s declared aims, one turns as it were instinctively to long words and exhausted idioms, like a cuttlefish squirting out ink.”

 

However, if we run through a bunch of languages, we will notice that English has not only spread its tentacles everywhere, but it has also survived very healthily for various reasons ranging from hyper-brief hoarding language to very elaborate explanatory notes.

 

Metaphorically, Modern English is defined as the Wal-Mart of languages. Canadian writer Mark Abley’s delightful 2003 book, Spoken Here: Travels Among Threatened Languages:

Modern English is the Wal-Mart of languages: convenient, huge, hard to avoid, superficially friendly, and devouring all rivals in its eagerness to expand.

William Safire’s terrific remark that “English is a stretch language; one size fits all.” As good as the others are, though, they can’t match Abley’s inspired observation. What it lacks in brevity it makes up in wit and originality. And, because it attempts to illuminate one thing—English—by relating it to something that, at first glance, couldn’t seem more dissimilar—Wal-Mart—it is a perfect metaphor.

In fact, I was surprised this ‘Jargon Monoxide Phobic’ person has omitted to mention marketing strategy that has to keep in mind the sensitivities of cross-cultural, multi-regional, and multi-lingual variations [cannot use the term 'differences,' which will be misconstrued as discriminatory].

If we walk through even many of the European languages [leave alone the oriental languages], we would notice too many pitfalls, traps, and tormenting ways to express even ordinary things. Among the oriental ones, Japanese have certain peculiarities.* 2.

*1] Recently, at an AI conference, some leaders gave their wisdom on AI [a new technology that, like any other technology, has its own immense utilities and a few disadvantages due to its important impact—disruptive, in short] like the following: it must be easily accessible, affordable, open source, people-centric, environment-friendly, and labor-friendly [i.e., without causing employment displacements], benefiting the economy and society as a whole. Every intention expressed is noble and to be taken seriously, but how the f*** are we going to ask the technology to ensure all that? 

 

Haven’t Android phones displaced, if not fully, at least to a very great extent, clocks, calendars, cameras, telephones, postcards, calculators, and typewriting machines [these are called "legacy" in commercial parlance]?

 

*2] Few samples culled from some books

German: In areas such as philosophy and psychology, German culture has often led the way, giving us ideas from Gestalt to Weltanschauung. German philosophical literature is full of powerful and pithy sentences, such as German dramatist Gotthold Lessing's famous dictum, "Niemand muss müssen," literally "No one must 'must.'" German poetry, too, is among the most intense and untranslatable in the world. In short, it seems that German thought and language is an amazing mixture of technical precision and soulful ineffability, which sparks off a rich creativity in concepts.

But there is at least one basic and practical reason for German's neologistic tendencies—its limitless capacity for creating new terms by joining a whole lot of old words together. Words of this compound type can be richly expressive, and here are some other untranslatable products of the imaginative German mind.

Polish: You can say "cat" in Polish in at least five ways: "kot," "kotek," "koteczek," "kotulek," and "kotuleczek. "Each word means something quite different, and the meanings vary from a reference to your relationship with the cat in question to describing its size.

Russian: where Priya refers to too distant a relationship.

 

Russian society, perhaps because of its long experience with authoritarian politics and grace-and-favor rule, has some deeply entrenched characteristics. For instance, levels and qualities of human relationships are richly developed, even in comparison with other Slavic tongues. This wealth of words for different kinds of relationships (in addition to kin) provides evidence of Russian culture's interest in the area of human dealings with one another.

 

Roughly speaking, relations are categorized by their "closeness" or "strength," perhaps also hinting at their trustworthiness. "Drug" is someone extremely close to us, much more so than the English word "friend." "Podruga," meaning "female friend," refers to a bond less powerful than "drug" but still stronger than "friend," closer to "girlfriend" or "lover." "Priyatel" or "priyatelnitsa" is rather more distant, and "znakomy" is still more distant, although closer than the supposed English equivalent word, "acquaintance."

Swedish: In spoken form, Swedish is by far the easiest of the Nordic languages to follow. Several words in Swedish sound the same as in English but have different meanings. For example, "kokt" in Swedish is pronounced "cooked" but specifically means "boiled." When your Swedish waiter asks if you would like your breakfast egg "cooked," he will be confused if you answer, "Yes, please, fried." Even more problematic is the Swedish word. It is pronounced "go," but it does not mean "go." Literally translated, it means "walk."

Finnish: Rautatieasemakirjakauppa is a fine example of the Finnish habit of joining words without articles or prepositions. It becomes much easier to understand if split up:

 

Now we can see the literal translation. Is it any clearer? It means, of course, the "railway station bookshop." The fact that Finnish works so comfortably without subjects gives the language a Taoist character. It is more concerned with being than doing and more interested in the action than the actor.

 

Globalization is inevitable but....

 

 

1.     Globalization is inevitable

 

http://contentwriteups.blogspot.com/2010/11/west-needs-to-change-its-obsession-to.html

 

 

With greater awareness and experience over time, there is an overwhelming realization that, yes, globalization is inevitable, but we must ensure synergy with a real global awareness and acceptance of human conditions, along with the correct attitude to become citizens with a concern for all human beings and nature as stakeholders with shared responsibility to ensure sustained development on this planet.

 

 

2. Need to create Global Citizens

 

This means everyone needs to be encouraged to become global citizens

3. Getting rid of xenophobia

 

Also avoid all forms of social, cultural, and political ideologies based on xenophobia.

Do not miss listening to this brief talk for just 3 minutes

 

https://www.weforum.org/agenda/2016/07/watch-joseph-stiglitz-explain-globalization-in-three-minutes/?utm_content=bufferab738&utm_medium=social&utm_source=twitter.com&utm_campaign=buffer

 

Globalization, promoted as a regulatory camouflage to benefit a few powerful economies ​and deny a level playing field for others, was almost an obvious neo-economic religious cult trying to frame policies to homogenize trade ​and economy to their advantage.

 

She makes many very important, vital observations that need to be explained in detail to the West's homogenization hype and monotheistic mania while dissecting life into slices and hyping secularism, tolerance, cross-cultural experience, etc. It requires enough and constant reminding of the fixed verbal labels lapping the Western mindset to understand the inherent plurality and variety in any other cultures.

 

Spirituality and Science, synergy

 

Behindwoods' this entire series of episodes are interesting in various aspects as each speaker/ scholar brings out the various dimensions from his/ her field of expertise or life experiences or their own knowledge driven frames of references.

 

In this whole series, I find this gentleman’s speech very lucidly explaining the essence of spirit and essentiality of its multiple covers, tools, establishes how there is ​a vestibule of connectivity ​and solid synergy. ​He nicely explains, not to justify but to make everyone understand how many things and activities thought of as  adscititious or extraneous are in fact interconnected, integral, intrinsic, inherent, implicit, pertinent aspects of Manitou in many ways.

 

However, everyone shared ultimately what learnings and wisdom that have gained, how their life got impacted and what lessons their learnings and experiences have imparted to them. 

 

One may believe in some or not. One may accept one approach or reject it; it is a choice.

 

However, over all the experiences and expressions of them are wide ranging that I felt, after a longtime we have had a very useful and serious talks on a highly sensible and scholarly debate generating topic.

 

All speakers and the topics given to them were of a wide range from the simple to the  superficial to subject specific ( like political, astrological, ritualistic etc) to sublime aspects of all pervasive spirituality.

 

Though one could observe that in most cases there were either obvious or subtle links between Spirituality and Science.

 

Hence, I felt, the topic could have been:- ‘Spirituality and Science' or the 'synergy between the two' which are usually perceived as distinctly different because often the practitioners of either or both are not aware of or bother to look at the other one or do not feel the necessity to vindicate their perception or experience or discovery and use the other stream of knowledge as a crutch 

(This is how human brain is designed to perceive). 

 

However, if in either track one chooses, however strong the track may be unless the train of human body is trained or able to touch both tracks it cannot move. 

 

This need not be practised or nurtured, as even inherently the human body can automatically function only because of both science and spirituality, whether we believe or ambivalent or unable to decipher and classify distinctly as spirituality or science. 

 

There are so many aspects of life that remain mysterious and undeciphered.  

 

It is better they are that way, otherwise the human mind may give a label, name and classify, then dissect the wholeness of  life into slices or parts to easily classify them into predefined labels to 'ANALYSE' their attributes and significances and so on, rather than 'EXPERIENCE' the mysteries. 

 

I think someone can take each one of  these episodes in full or make meaningful slices of each episode with multilingual subtitles and deliver pleasant short 3 to 8 minutes documentaries with excellent visuals to reach the present generation.

 

Short documentaries of the type made by nasdaily.com or slightly long documentaries like the one on a very abstract spiritual concept.

 

Watch the full 40 minutes without any prejudice.

OSHO-Enlightened soul and a great intellectual all rounder

OSHO- A great enlightened soul spoke on social and historical facts frankly, physiological needs nonchalantly, religious recklessness repeatedly, political manipulations magnificently, intrinsic spiritual values with crystal clear communication, esoteric  truths eloquently and everything with extraordinary erudition, enlightened explanations with a high sense of humour and honesty.

 

That's why, perhaps, unfortunately, the hoards of hypocritical orthodox and perverted public cherry picked slices of  his talks and portrayed him in as many possible ways to portray him as a villain mainly because the biggest business of religion was getting exposed because he was making people see through too many contradictions, irrationalities and leading them to understand and appreciate human needs, live with humane values and spiritually nourish the soul without the necessity to follow too many steps ( everyone cannot and in reality do not fit into those frequencies of enlightened spiritual awareness that a few blessed souls could easily grasp and this has caused uneasiness- this creates often, an uneasy lack of acceptance though everyone feels that these unique souls have a certain level of enlightenment that is far superior and  looks mysterious).

 

These consternate the common folks, stun the simple souls and intimidate the stakeholders of morality marketers and religious revenue generators.   

 

Almost all such enlightened souls have never been understood by the society at large. However, in certain cases, a few such enlightened souls also understood the necessity to package the spiritual path with tinge of what everyone is comfortable with or used to believe in or follow [ various expressions of euphemism for confirmation bias], then, the people at least tend to believe in, follow, venerate, worship and try to gradually grasp the immense mystic power beyond the access of normal human intelligence and reasoning.

Giving below a few examples, not adhering to any superiority or chronology because these spiritual vibrations of these souls are beyond all those mundane classifications and well suited to my lack of memory.

This is how people try to understand the immense spiritual significance of Bhagwan Shri Ramana Maharishi, Adi Sankaracharya, Ramanujar, Narayana guru, Swami Vivekannada, Mahakavi Subramanya Bharathiyar, Bhagwan Shri Aurobindo, Bhagwan Sri Ramakrishna Paramahamsa, Tirumular, many Siddhars etc.

Jiddu Krishnamurthy one of the greatest enlightened souls like all the above who articulated philosophically in such a way that many of the Western scholars and a few Indians could appreciate.

Unfortunately, Osho, in the process of his explanations punctured all well nurtured hypocrisies which directly affected the businesses of many stake holders.

Unfortunately, people do not read his talks on ‘Bhagwan Krishna -The Greatest Avatar’, ‘Vedantha- the Ultimate Science’. The best understanding and interpretation in my opinion. 

 

Mindset and natural instinct

 She explains attitude, mindset and how natural instinct ( that aspect of one's nature which is scrupulously nurtured and groomed) functions through her art and from her artistic perspective.

Intelligent individuals don’t require to flaunt false Fedoras

          Intelligent individuals don’t require to flaunt false Fedoras

 

Real temple of learning exists between and behind the two temples in everyone’s head

 

I vaguely remembered the many statements in The Vicar of Wakefield by Oliver Goldsmith and managed to refer the internet to get the two very meaningful sentences from that excellent book:-

“ We lived several years in a state of much happiness, not but that we sometimes had those little rubs which Providence sends to enhance the value of its favours” and “ Providence has thought fit to elude our curiosity, satisfied with granting us motives to consolation”.

Providence makes certain individuals to go through long durations of hardships by depriving or at least delaying access to comforts, happiness, peace etc.

However, certain individuals use those rubbings of harsh providence as sandpaper to polish their character and as whetstone to sharpen their senses and sensitivities and calmly allowing comparisons with the well fated individuals as inspirations rather than intimidations.

One could see and feel beneath some people’s  worldly achievements, there lurk a spark of intelligence and street smartness, not the one gained through academic knowledge acquisition, or something bestowed by virtue of inheritance from a well-known ancestry but something too genuine, heartfelt, unhypocritical, practical, sincere lived experience driven or gained through some highly impactful events or intense emotional jolts of providence.

 

These lived experience driven impacts impart vital life lessons with total intensity and intense totality more than a few hundred texts or books can ever do.

 

We may understand these, if we shed our usual conditionings, unlearn our intellect driven process of learning only through prescriptive dogmas or relying only on empirical science proven authentic reason and logic.

 

By no means the above statement must be misconstrued as underestimating the cardinal values or utilities of those processes with certain caveats not to evaluate or try to perceive everything only through those prisms. Then, they may become prisons of perceptions.

 

Also, there is no denying the fact that these processes are the most preferred and best authentic methods, among the heap of too many pseudo- or sentimental or ethnocentric or religious belief systems-based tools of deciphering truth.

 

However, they are neither the only options nor omniscient or omnipotent nor the be all and end all of human beings’ perception tools or try to fit perceiving everything and everyone to existing templates of normal acceptance based merely on these processes.

 

Instead, if we move beyond or more precisely, stay still in innocent childlike curiosity, wonder and awe through mere observation the manifestation of certain phenomena around us and appreciate them as they are without letting them pass through any of the existing filters, then, only then, we may relish certain nuances and niceties of such unique individuals who are shining examples of human race's real tryst with destiny as also the great warriors who have fought with courage and conviction to overcome adverse circumstances and who are great examples of undaunted human spirit to survive and to set great examples for posterity be it the Florence Nightingales, Madame Curies and millions of unsung heroines in every nook and corner of the world.

 

What made me write this is a recent short video clip of a successful person narrating a particular incidence in her life which was shared in social media [1]

 

These types of harsh providences force the weak and the meek to sulk into self-imposed loneliness and desperation, but they impart to the bold a sort of smartness akin to highly creative instincts or natural talents of gifted souls in all domains of the Atlas of  human activities ranging from tiresome dirty hard work to routines to highly skilful sports or arts or scientific discoveries and so on. In short, they have the knack of grasping the pulse of any problem and get into the essence of the matter.

 

This is because these great individuals do not feel the necessity to smother harsh realities or truths either with too much of diplomatic jargons or contrived explanations or let realities to lurk with uneasiness to sustain or to present a socially acceptable or appreciated ideological Fedoras.

 

There are a host of sickening stereotyped collective social and psychological conditioning based biases which make people think that certain positions deemed to be of intellectual importance is meant to be occupied only by people with some alphabets sprinkled as suffixes indicating various academic credentials or prefixes of some academic titles like Dr, Professor etc even though there are many from this ilk who have been crass idiots when it comes to tackling real life issues or taking holistic decisions [2].

 

Similarly, the world fancies some institutions as great labels ( though there may be some truth in it) and they term them as temples of learning whereas, all over the world, for everyone, there is only one temple of learning and that exists between and behind the two temples in everyone’s head.

[2] This made many raising their ignorant but haughty eyebrows as to how come some popular star from the glamour or tinsel world be given a portfolio of Ministry of HRD which they felt must land up only with those who have fancy academic tags. I have always had an admiration for this woman from the time I knew her as a budding politician, not as an actress [I hardly know anything about her contribution in that domain]. 

 

 

Politics i.e. governance of society may evolve into fully corporatized administration blocks with professional tasks.

 

Politics i.e. governance of society may evolve into fully corporatized administration blocks with professional tasks.

 

To steer clear of controversies and yet drive the relevant points in a very diplomatic way is tough. 

 

Hypothetically speaking there are at least three basic aspects of life which cannot be, need not and preferably must not be homogenised beyond a certain extent where certain standardization and uniformity may be or are both possible and warranted. 

 

 

The three pertains to two  fundamental factors of human beings:​- physical health and mental health. 

 

Physical health is  addressed by the HEALTH CARE and FOOD INDUSTRY   where treatment methods and feeding must be done based on various metrics and the effectiveness is judged by the outcomes.

 

Mental health EDUCATION Industry ( also called as institutions). 

 

For the health of these two, especially, primary level is more vital because one cannot catch up with or repair the past. As mother's milk and nutritious food is necessary at an early stage , similarly , primary education is of vital importance.

 

In all three the persons providing the service must have passion, patience, interest, involvement and of course, incentives, otherwise, whatever qualifications they may have will at best be like a lamppost useful for dogs. 

 

Of course, for diseases of both the mind and physic​que we have a lot of interesting and tasty options with unlimited choice. 

 

Like everything constantly evolves, the governance of society also after having undergone various social models starting from local tribal leaders to ​religious leaders [ euphemism for Divinity marketeers and in some cases Cult promoters] to emperors to kings to doctors to electoral politics of all hues and colours may evolve into fully corporatized administration blocks with professional tasks rather than peddling populist ​or ideological agendas, vending promises​ and freebies. The jamboree of elect​ions where most candidates are hardly aware of , leave alone prioritize,  the duties and responsibilities ​as candidates contesting to govern a geographical territory with all its concomitant activities, issues and problems. Most are not bothered about answerability but empowered too disproportionately.
