IT for security in highways
Prevention is better than cure.
Preparedness
is better than prevention .
Macro perspective based attentive
implementation of micro aspects is the best form of preparedness .
Constant
monitoring can prevent catastrophic impact of calamities.
A dozen suggestions.
1. Fit low cost CCTV camera in front
& back of vehicles linked to portal- help insurance, police department,
alert nearest ambulance service.
●
2. Small drones can be sent to clear
traffic for ambulance & also provide first aid materials
3. Wherever possible use helicopters
to lift the injured.
4. Fit with automatic sensors to
vehicles for explosives hidden inside.
5. Fit car, bus, truck roofs with
solar panels to be used as alternative energy resource.
6. All these can be made mandatory
for all new vehicles and old vehicles can be given time frame to comply with
these.
7. These can check traffic
violations, track and curtail terrorist activities.
8. With permission of Civil Aviation
ministry satellite and drones must be used extensively to track movements of
terror outfit and suspicious moments.
9. Excessive policing and monitoring
are necessary for a highly populated country like India, especially at
excessive policing and monitoring in all crowded areas like malls, markets,
theatres, places of worship, tourist spots etc
10. All these monitoring devices can
also help disseminating availability of various products and resources in
different places.
11. Can also look at possibility of
linking up some of these services with Google maps, relevant activity oriented
places, for example nearby police station, hospital etc and use Indian postal
department for delivering certain items in emergency.
Education and suicide
Very well written but I have a feeling that either too much of irrelevant education or excess of academics which may never be used or useful to life.
We need to get a deeper into various systems of education,
teaching, learning etc and find out why they exist and for what
purpose?

Media-the stumbling block
What people like me are against is the selective confirmation bias and surprising indifference.
While
MSM hoists certain individuals as celebrities and starts to hunt after and
hound them and delves into X –raying of every move, scanning of every wink and
auscultation of every whisper.
I
welcome these rare breed of MSM watch dogs using X-rays, MRIs, magnifying
glasses, microscopes, telescopes, stethoscopes etc.
Surprisingly
these MSMs destroyed all these equipments and went into hibernation like polar
bears for 50 plus days when one of their pet celebrities went missing and could
not be located by any radar or satellite, oh my, I forgot , it is known as
respect for individual privacy.
I can get into more pungent and authentic details here but for reasons of diplomacy I am restraining myself.

Fortunately,
neither dissemination of information nor biased opinions nor critical analysis of information is no more the preserve of a few self proclaimed intellects
loitering in the editorial rooms of media houses or TV anchor rooms.
There are many saner souls who provide positive news about positive performances through many sources where information is accessible to the larger public.
There are many saner souls who provide positive news about positive performances through many sources where information is accessible to the larger public.
Even the
information doted through MSM is churned well by the discerning public who
prefer to vote for economic development agenda recent examples are MP and
Rajasthan where some TV anchors proclaimed the defeat of the ruling party and pandered to the unruly
behaviors of some in parliament.
What
irks more is the continued pessimism of MSM against India’s development story
that is being scripted silently. Posterity will record facts and will not have
perverted history written by Ramachandra Guhas and Thappers.
Citizens
of India are now very alert.
There are positive vibrations in economy, in governance [recently married with government late marriage after 60 plus years], in perceptions, in performances but negativity pollutes in and through the media.
No one can ignore a cancer which is raising its ugly head through MSMs.

MSM - the stumbling
block
You can heal a wound
but you cannot stop the fingers that imagine an itch and scratch that place and
end up creating a new wound like AAP.
Cong and Left have
been removed from political space but the fingers of MSM get a pleasure in
scratching an imagined itch otherwise what justification is there for asking
for Sitaram Yetchury's opinion on every
issue.
His party has fewer
seats than many regional parties in parliament.
Why can't Government
bring a bill or at least start a debate to disqualify the status of National
party to any party with less than 10% of total Lok Sabha seats so that at
least the public will be spared of listening to all non sense and lies that
people like Sitaram Yetcury spit out in the
television channels.
Media decadence
Decades of decadence of Media that I have been observing and
its mafia and menace is reaching a saturation point that naturally people will
discard them like they have done to some political outfits.
Let us
wait and watch the fun but be ready with appropriate elegies for individuals
who have contributed to this decadence, do not forget to use your choicest
epithets appropriate to their profile, their petrified prejudices, putrefied
projections, puerile perceptions, selective amnesia, collective indifference,
cemented confirmation bias etc.
I shall
try to collect and present here the many links that I have written about media
menace for a longtime.
Important Truth
‘
Main
mantra’ or ‘Important Truth’ is that everyone and everything are
interrelated, interconnected and inter - dependent.
We can
understand this through any subject or frame of reference by means of which we
try to understand the dynamics of life or the web of life.
How we
relate and what for we relate with others and things manifests in our thinking,
actions and reactions and sometimes reveals in the consequences or results as
well.
Our
inherent attributes, acquired attitudes and contextual relevance determine the
ultimate outcomes of our actions, thoughts and reactions.
Often our
identity oriented living and various types of indoctrinations/conditioning may prevent us from seeing the truth of the
‘Main Mantra’ or ‘Important Truth’. Or
powerful projection of polarity principle as divisive or opposed to each
other may distract us from seeing this fact.
But
contextually relevant merger of data and technology with critical thinking will
lead to clarity of understanding the fact of
‘Main mantra’ that everyone and everything are interrelated, interconnected and inter –
dependent. I would
like to emphasis that contextual relevance is of paramount
importance even when presenting data in appealing visuals.
Reality

Entire
gamut of what identity orientation can do?
Divisive distractions of polarity principle
Contextually
relevant merger of data and technology with critical thinking will lead to
clarity of understanding the fact of
‘Main mantra’.
Intelligentsia
Indian
Intelligentsia -it is an insult to India as well as wrong usage of the word
Intelligentsia .Unless you have the correct definition you can be always wrong.
These
arachnids reporters and paid media wallas are
crawling from cobwebs of ideologies safely secured in the attics of museum for
fossil genetic samples.
Do not
label as intelligentsia a group of puerile persons, putrefying propaganda
peddlers with petrified ideologies.
At best
some of them are academically qualified people misusing the media manifesting
their two ailments one verbal diarrhea.
Two
irresistible itch to sit on judgment on everyone and everything by resorting to
manufacturing information to twisting facts to repeating sensational
interpretations etc to suit their opinions which are invariably pre-determined
by their pay masters.
So
please do not label them as Indian intelligentsia, though unfortunately most
popular media houses are infested with these types of creatures.
Poverty Alleviation
Poverty alleviation requires NGOs yes Nonchalant/ Natural
ways of Generous Offering
from our purse, our hearts, our
minds, our societies etc not necessarily to be operated only through funded operations- even the
ones without ulterior motives- which mostly resort to short term remedies in all situations.
1.
I
think basically the issue of poverty involves lot of things which on the whole
is a bit complex in structure and therefore more complicated to find any quick
fix or universal or homogenized solution.
2.
It
is also an issue on which no one can afford to be indifferent even for their
own selfish reasons because the presence and absence of poverty obviously
manifests through pleasantness or problems for life.
3.
Mere
preaching and pep talks may not alleviate poverty but can at least motivate
many to work towards alleviating poverty.
4.
Sensationalizing
it or subduing it with catchy slogans has not and is not going to offer
solutions.
5.
Starting
from lack of material resources to uncontrolled population to manipulative
politics -which itself involves multiple factors -need to be taken into
consideration along with dealing with lobbies which try to make a living out of
or make a business out of poverty and who prioritize projecting and subtly
perpetuating poverty for their own survival or identity.
6. Any proposal/project/plan of poverty
alleviation has to take into consideration the following aspects as well i.e.
the situation/context and the intensity or degree of poverty.
7. So along with compassion
comprehensive action plan has to be put in place without any hidden agenda or
ulterior motive, the two predominant factors of most funded ventures in the
name of poverty alleviation, wherein the poverty alleviation is an incidental
happening to achieve a wider or larger or ultimate goal with masked intentions.
8. Coming to the question of compassion.
How can it emerge? Why it has not even surfaced adequately after centuries of
preaching by various religions and many good souls. For compassion to emerge we
need, in the first place, some sort of education system and then ensure that it
is embedded with humane values which are manifested in our daily lives.
9. We need to create conducive
atmosphere for peace and harmony, not a mere verbal pronouncement but as a real
situation. Is it possible to have that? If not why?
10. We must ensure to minimize the
negative impact of excessive emphasis on identity orientation in everything
starting from religion, culture, region, language, political ideology, economic
system etc and a fanatical extension of this leads to less tolerance and lack
of compassion.
11. Poverty alleviation requires NGOs yes Nonchalant/ Natural ways
of Generous
Offering from our purse, our hearts,
our minds, our societies etc not necessarily to be operated only through funded
operations- even the ones without ulterior motives- which mostly resort to
short term remedies in all situations.
12. Recapitulating the issues raised
broadly value based education system, dealing with identity without denying it,
doing away with institutions and individuals who make a business out of
poverty, creating an atmosphere of peace and harmony etc and most of these are inter
connected or interrelated.
14. Identity –its whole gamut
“All of us have our own inner fears, beliefs,
opinions. These inner assumptions rule and govern our lives. A suggestion has
no power in and of itself. Its power arises from the fact that you accept it
mentally.”
― Joseph Murphy, The Power of Your Subconscious Mind
― Joseph Murphy, The Power of Your Subconscious Mind
We must realize that the subconscious mind is
the law of action and always expresses what the conscious mind has impressed on
it. What we regularly entertain in our mind creates a conception of self. What
we conceive ourselves to be, we become.” Grace Speare.
A question of identity
Reactions
Identity and reality
Identity is the result of
fixations
Identity is the result of
getting struck in the steps
Nothing wrong in being proud of
identities and no one needs to hypocritically deny any particular identity.
But then what is reality
New Year with a
New Realization of Reality
Let us be open
Peace and Harmony are defined
indirectly by wanting too much
of same Identity in everyone and everywhere and want of Tolerance
privacy
RTI on money spent on Govt awards and ceremonies for them
divert them to village development, Govt need not run any Film institute start
good research labs instead.
Privacy, privacy where are you? are you up above the world
so high with Omnipresent cameras, clairvoyant media, every minute updates in
social media, MSMs enthusiasm to generate selective sensationalism and all
these disseminated in a jiffy through handsets.
So, I think except in matters not meant for public
consumption where is privacy? Or the need for it?
So, if benefits to common man, institutional functionality,
requirements of scrutinizing institutions and investigative agencies etc are
facilitated then these very reasons far outweigh the need for certain imported
notions of privacy where you can do everything in public but cannot bath your
own small child inside your house or let your own family members know your
health problems.
I think we are a decent enough society, and sometimes
hypocritical enough society [with very healthy public posturing and opinions
and filthy intentions and private lives beneath them] to know what to reveal
and what to hide.
Some media houses seem to know even all our military
intelligence details, with their telescopes and microscopes whose scope of
operation shrinks like a snail into its shell and fail to locate the
whereabouts when some people are absent from parliament.
Misuse or abuse of power and position in politics or for
that matter in any field depends on the individual.
Then what about MSMs conjectures, false projections,
multiple trials without verification etc.
Facilitation of delivery of benefits to common man,
institutional functionality far outweighs the need for certain imported notions
of privacy.
Responsibility
Responsibility
Responsibility is again a very relative term and depends
a lot on contextual relevance and perception and performance based on these.
In brief it is response + ability i.e . The ability to
respond to specific context/situation and this involves choice, decision
making, perception etc.
That’s why in a way the difference/ gap between
irresponsibility and irrelevance are very thin.
So prioritizing anything at the wrong time or
inappropriate situation/context is both irrelevant and irresponsible.
When talking of responsibility no one can avoid referring
to Jean Paul Sartre, who declared boldly 'man is responsible for what he is?'
In fact in terms of extreme logic existentialism and advaitha are very similar
philosophical concepts.
