AAP's tall claims

All of you  read everything fully and come up with your arguments and perceptions

In any institution either big or small, as in our own body, there will always be a soul operating, heart pumping blood , a spleen or kidney etc cleaning it but always even behind most beautiful midrifts there will always be shit inside the abdomen either viewed by X -ray or not.

This dichotomy is the law of nature good and bad, big and small etc but life is more than a triad beginning as a triad depending on our relationship or how we relate to these good and bad stuff and also how the world reacts to these dichotomies and what we do about it. This process of relationship between these dichotomies involves two important factors for life learning and adjustment. We shall talk about it later in depth but now confine to AAP.

I have listed even those of Kej3riwal, there are two of them elected who have rape cases against them and many more and more of it will come out like the shit inside our system at appropriate time. Other parties do not want to expose AAP now for various reasons which is a big topic by itself.

Unfortunately our country always prioritized the wrong things and went gaga over irrelevant things. We do not need a kejeriwal to expose corruption. All of us know it. what we need is creating a good governance model which generates indigenous economic development, unlike the soviet model which condemned people into almost working class slaves in the name of communism ensuring to provide just enough for everyone to survive physically blocking any happiness or even freedom to know what was happening outside in the world admonishing all cultural and social activities as if they are all part of some religion and in the process even sabotaging literature, free thinking, philosophy, even independent scientific research unless it contributed something to USSR’s military technology or the Chinese model which is of course more clever and cunning and therefore more successful model whereby china slowly and steadily became a backyard manufacturing unit for 80% of the population of the western world. It grew on their consumption, if the western economy becomes too weak to even consume what china is producing then china will collapse.

If economic development is given a priority over everything else as an important aspect of governance then there will be real benefits accruing to all. This is called incidental benefits as for negative and destructive activities we call it as collateral damage.

There were few people who thought about it. Initially Rajiv Gandhi wanted to introduce computerization and inducted Sam Pitroda to come out with policy which benefits some or at least it initiated awareness for the necessity of using computers in all areas of life. When Narasimha Rao became P.M whatever I am saying are all on official records he actually wanted Dr. Subramanya swamy to be the FM with Manmohan and Alluwaliah as economic advisors[ as that was the team under Chandrasekar as PM with Dr. Swamy being minister ] as Rao felt Dr. Swamy had better understanding and big contacts in USA to bring in globalization against all the luddites from the leftist philosophy, but a real globalization , not the one which helped only US owned MNCs but on the condition that DR. Swamy must join the congress. However, DR. Swamy refused to join congress, so MMS was not FM but Rao still made DR. Swamy as the chairman of GATT and WTO commission[with a special cabinet rank where the ministers of State for finance, commerce and industry etc have to report to him] without a participation in which globalization could not have been implemented. Because of Narasimha Rao we inherited the benefits of opening up of the economy which paved the way for all our Engineers and Chartered accountants to get decent paying jobs in MNC, in the process for entry of every MNC there was huge commission, many middlemen and all sorts of corruption in which many benefited [in fact it sheer corruption between 90-95 by Jayalalitha and Sashikala demanding exorbitant money that the entire IT went to Andra where Chandrababu Naidu welcomed with open arms and provided all benefits] but it also helped a very large population of educated youth to get jobs and enhance their life status from lower middle class into upper middle class. Then when Vajpayee took over he felt that the opening up of economy has only made educated Indian youth being used as mere call center employees and software producers or back office operators for many US companies and felt in the event of any change in US policy can render our economy weak [as rulers they were not and they need not bother about a few thousand middle class educated youth losing their jobs], I stress the economic activity as a whole. It was then that the think tank of RSS [I do not subscribe to many of their views or activities which are fanatical and foolish too] suggested that the manufacturing sector, the exporting sector, the agriculture producing sector have to reap the benefits of the economic liberalization for which infrastructure must be created. So NDA came out with huge infrastructure projects thanks to which we have high ways across the nation. Otherwise before that the GST road from Perunkulatur to Chenglepet ,OMR, Sriperumbudur etc were a little wider than a loincloth[komanam in Tamil]. This involved land acquisition which involved coming out with some guidelines and which involved lot of corruption and mal practices ,even now the toll fee is a day light robbery but then no one would mind that considering the facility that the highways provide.

Manifestation of policy decision and economic development agenda must result in controlling price raise, reducing inflation, level playing field for most of the investors, enough opportunities for making the nation a power to be recognized and respected in the comity of nations [Vajpayee did silently Pokran tests] and naturally all citizens will be the beneficiaries of all these activities [as incidental benefits as mentioned earlier].

Nobody ever talks about the money that T.R. Balu earned in Katipara bridge project, it is taken as almost middleman’s commission but if after allotting funds had he not built the bridge itself or sold the contract to an unknown foreign company selling needles at exorbitant rates etc then everyone would question that.

90 to 95 Jayalalitha wasted the power she got, B.S. yeduyerappa wasted the power he got. Both of them got punished rightly so for letting down the people who reposed faith in them for their nonperformance on economic development front due to various reasons/justifications.

Similarly AAP is letting down the huge mandate they got unexpectedly, they were expecting only maximum 12 seats, along with a open support from a big party like Congress. AAPians are good reporters, arm chair critics or trade union leaders who can only criticize and find fault with other but are incapable of even taking up a step towards governance. This is where the street smart eight standard failed politicians score over these academically qualified scholars who suffer from frequent bouts of verbal diarrhea.

This bunch of AAP are like and from leftist Marxist Leninist ideological outfits which can be very dangerous like the Maoist [ all their arguments are justifiable but the methods or modus operandi is dirty, producing only collateral damages [already many educated youth are made to waste lot of time paying attention to them and their pronouncements and reading their propaganda material etc]

All big communist party leaders across the globe [except Gorbachev] are all corrupt and would never tolerate even the slightest disturbance to their position while they will do all tall talk of equality, liberty, egalitarianism etc [you must read a wonderful history book by a British Author called Dance the book title is ‘History for a United World’] and this trend percolates to the lowest leftist trade union leader too.

The far-fetched extreme idealism of Marxist left is very nice in theory but has never worked anywhere nor is workable, ‘you cannot blame the rain drops for not moving upwards’. Variety and differences are the laws of nature. Learning and adjustments are the two constant processes of life with varying degrees of intensities of their manifestation like for example under adjustments we have compromises, confirming to others views etc as long as they deliver the desired goal with some frictions and nudging here and there, nothing happens without these, even we were born like that because while millions of sperms nudged one managed to push forward to become a successful egg.

Unwillingness to adjust or accommodate is a sign of intolerance and insecurity and therefore a fanatic outlook.

AAP can only be the preferred baby of the media and therefore pampered and promoted by it. What is unfortunate is the collateral damage it has already done to many of the educated youth.

Carnatic music, Cockroaches, Cars, Canteens and Creating Overnight Celebrities

Carnatic music, Cockroaches, Cars, Canteens and Creating Overnight Celebrities

“Get out of your own way… stop the paralysis by analysis… decide what you want, create a simple plan, and get moving!” - Steve Maraboli.

I beg you… to have patience with everything unresolved in your heart and try to love the questions themselves as if they were locked rooms or books written in a very foreign language. Don’t search for the answers, which could not be given to you now, because you would not be able to live them. And the point is, to live everything. Live the questions now. Perhaps then, someday far in the future, you will gradually, without even noticing it, live your way into the answer. ~ 
Rainer Maria Rilke.

“Across planes of consciousness, we have to live with the paradox that opposite things can be simultaneously true.” 
― Ram Dass.

I start with these three quotes whose relevance I would like the readers to infer at the end.

The ideology which preaches a comfortable car to redesign itself in speed, design etc to render justice to bullock carts to bridge the gap of disparity is putrefying  growth and petrifying to a 21^st century human being.

All that I write below are merely observations and not judgments on anything as correct or wrong.

Everything is inherently embedded with certain basic and fundamental steps which one cannot by pass [of course this too has exceptions] but to deprive things of these fundamental steps would be emasculating them of their very vitality.

Everything in any process of growth is just a step, important and inevitable, but not a stop. It is so with mother’s milk [our biological aspect of life]; it is so with learning of alphabets, words and numbers [our intellectual aspect of life]; it is so with hugging, kissing and cajoling as babies [our emotional aspect of life]; it is so with our learning and understanding of different concepts [ our philosophical aspect of life]; it is so with all forms of worship, devotion and all its concomitant rituals and religious practices [ our spiritual life] and so on. This is the inherent wisdom. A normal human being has to go through a process to grow in everything or into something. There may be exceptions like a Adi shankara, or a Bhagawan Ramanamaharishi.

We can neither avoid the steps nor get struck to them. That’s why I cannot accept the snobbism of so called intellectuals parroting pet slogans like religion without rituals, god without religion or religion without gods, spiritualism without god or religion etc. In fact I have books titled in each part of the slogan.

This does not mean that we must stop questioning or doubting anything in real earnest to get answers or get further enlightened. Fortunately we are from a philosophical background, I mean Indians, wherein the religion is Sanathana Dharma which allowed also carvaka philosophy which almost advocated atheism when the word atheism itself did not exist in any language.[1]

Incidentally my New Year Greeting for 2014 itself is about questioning.[2]

Here even in the arena of spirituality I would suggest to those who cannot digest the high philosophical exposition of reality as explained by a J.Krsihnamurthy or a Neale Donald Walsch to read Swami Chinmayananda’s wonderful and very simple book ‘Logic of Spirituality’ as it can help us make a true evaluation of what type of human being we are and which type of approach will be appealing to us and make us access our spiritual roots easily. For some it is rituals and devotion; for some it is philosophical enquiry; for some it is pure meditative approach etc. Here are the links but better still to buy the book with CD and gift it to parents. [3] This applies to all fields.

Take for example the food in a hotel. Some may like the food in a hotel just as it is to satisfy their hunger, some may like its ambience , some may get attracted by brand name, some may appreciate the presentation of the food, some may like the hospitality of the waiter, some may like the dressing of the food, some may like the color of the food, some may be interested in analyzing the ingredients, some may be bothered about whether they were prepared in hygienic conditions, some may be bothered about the nutritional content of the food, some also may like the taste  etc. It is difficult to satisfy all these categories and many more such seekers. If a hotel starts analyzing all these factors  in the food that they plan to offer then the hotel business can never takeoff.  

In any evolution in general and in individual in particular certain metamorphic changes could be at times spontaneous, sudden, intense, intermittent, linked to some hidden agenda or ulterior motives etc but nevertheless they create an impact. Sometimes it has produced the greatest souls who have propelled the course of history like a Valmiki or a Voltaire [read Will Durant's story of philosophy wherein he introduces Voltaire as 'Italy had renaissance, Germany had reformation but France had one man called Voltaire']. But mostly when public pronouncements or publicity of such supposed metamorphosis especially when it pops out of  people who merely seek popularity and prominence through short cuts without necessary experience -based maturity, sound knowledge and groping about in irrelevant territories desperately seeking identity it does not augur well either for that person or the cause[s] which he is supposed to be promoting and it could even be counterproductive.

Everything that has ever existed and continue to exist or anything that has happened or continue to happen quiet often has its own inherent logic, principle, purpose, value, strength etc. In addition they are or act as some pieces to fit into the jigsaw puzzle of life.

These two important factors inherent logic and being part of the jigsaw puzzle of life are attributes of everything starting from the various forms and names of Almighty to all things in the universes.  

Unfortunately the whole or complete picture of life is yet unknown to many of us [if we are honest and humble enough to accept] but not unknowable. This unknown mystery is so because of various factors of which the two most glaring are our chronologically limited mortal body frame and the limited abilities and perceptions of our mental frame and this prevents us from simultaneously perceiving anything at both the micro as well as macro level.[4]

But despite the limited existence of our individual body and all the limitations of our mind, we as human beings have explored the unmapped atlas of life enjoying, experiencing and enlightening ourselves in the process. Life as whole has been constantly reciprocating us with both sweet melodies and bitter tragedies in the course of our explorations and experiences.

Life has manifested its splendor through the excellent contributions and developments leading humanity to the zenith of advancements and enhancement of living conditions as well as pushed humanity to the nadir of existence because of some destructive and decadent activities.

The destructive and decadent activities are not only the tangible material ones but the psychological ones too and the purpose of this article is to address one such psychologically destructive activity which is promoted by vested interest groups.

Fortunately, at least in our country, most things and individuals have remained unencumbered by political ideologies formed and framed to homogenize everything and everyone and exercise control over and dominate and rule.

This long preamble is necessary to drive home certain points that I would like to explain now.

For want of time, space and in order to confine myself to the topic I am addressing, I am limiting myself only to a very small area of psychological destructiveness which by itself is too vast staring from catchy slogans which block thinking and reasoning to constant propaganda and brainwashing techniques which prevent perception and many such destructive tools adopted to control a whole population to fall in line with a particular or specific ideology through homogenization. [5]

These ideological invasions are done through various means to curb the manifestation of law of nature which is variety, and freedom of individual thinking which is the natural process of inward flowering of every individual soul expressing itself through the body and mind it has chosen.

Many religious institutions and political outfits have used these techniques to propagate, preserve and promote their vested interests.

From the vast sky of these vague generalized observations let me dive down to the specific clouds.

Persons, things, events are the different clouds that dot the sky of life. What happens is out of  an attitudinal problem when we deal with or resort to apply or evaluate wrongly [6] different clouds then our overall perception[7] of the cloud is clouded and before we realize the cloud either moves away or explodes or evaporates. So, great havoc is created through psychological fallacies. How? Let me explain.

That is, we cannot apply to study things or events out of context however exalted or revered tools we may use, be they the Vedas or bible. To drive home this point let me take a very crude example. Can they [Vedas or bible] explain or do they contain literature about methods and morals of cyber usage? The answer is a definite no. Obviously cyber activities did not exist at the period when Vedas or bible came into existence. So to evaluate them [Vedas or Bible, however great, good and useful they are, or however much you hold them with reverence and sanctity] with reference to their relevance to cyber activities will only make these texts of no use or value. If anyone who attempts to use the Vedas or bible in such a way is resorting to adopting wrong tools of application or using wrong methods of evaluation. We have to only laugh at his ignorance or ignore his laughable behavior.[8]

Cockroaches have their own inherent attributes like being nocturnal creature with a chain of hearts, in all totaling to 13. Some regard it as a single heart with 13 chambers. These are funnel shaped chambers with a pair of tiny holes called ostia. The ostia allow blood into the cockroach hearts. The hearts push the blood forward, in the direction of the head. Beneath the hearts are rhomboid alary (i.e. wing-shaped) muscles. Contraction and relaxation of the alary muscles pulls the blood nearer heart and Suction pressure fills the heart with blood entering through the ostia. We cannot complain about cockroaches having a heart throughout its body with more than a dozen chambers and having an ability to live longer without air or food and even their ability to withstand radiation better than human beings can be explained through the cell cycle. Cells are most vulnerable to the effects of radiation when they are dividing. A cockroach's cells divide only once each time it molts, which is weekly at most in a juvenile roach. Since not all cockroaches would be molting at the same time, many would be unaffected by an acute burst of radiation.

It is these very unique features or attributes that have made them survive, as probably only species over several millions of years. We cannot complain that they have unfair advantages like they are only nocturnal preferable inhabiting dark but dry as well as wet places.

We cannot apply or need not apply and expect cockroaches to fit into our political ideology based on twisted logic and demand that cockroaches must also like many other insects be made to be present at day time, on all environs and so on. We may not like the cockroach’s filiform antennae or its anal cerci and therefore we cannot expect creation to redesign a cockroach’s anatomy to suit our taste or liking.  Cockroach’s worthiness or value is dependent on the above cited aspects of  its own unique features.

Cockroaches and mango fruit sambar have their own inherent logic for existence.[9]

All bubbles and balloons are very attractive spectacles but we can never erect structures using them as a foundation, the Indian brand of Marxist leftist ideology is one such bubble or balloon to which all of us are attracted but trying to claim it as a panacea or use to as a tool to evaluate everything or as a reference manual to explain the correctness or justify everything is to live in a world of delusion and muddying the water. Some migratory birds may fish in these troubled waters whether we view their acts as noble or otherwise [pun] intended.

One can combine the use of the gift of the gab, mastery of language and google’s search engines and produce excellent literature on cardiac surgery and neuro surgery which can put to envy even great cardiac surgeons and neuro surgeons but that does not mean that that person has the least bit of knowledge about either the heart or brain much less can be expected to even witness either a cardiac or brain surgery without shivering, leave alone doing the surgery. There is nothing wrong in such literature or persons producing such literature.

But it would be grave mistake  to give more prominence or importance to such writers over real cardiac and neuro surgeons especially to people who are confused as to which specialist doctor they need to approach for their cardiac problems.

Unfortunate trend is the TV anchors and media promoted personalities are tending to be considered as  experts in all fields and some turn out as overnight celebrities, heroes and even chief ministers.

The platform that gives more importance to such writers is contributing to the psychological decay of the human race. Damage is more if a majority of innocent people look up to such platform.

The subject I am touching upon is a frustrated carnatic vocalist and the prominence given to him by a particular newspaper.

I beg to disagree with you respected author of this article who makes lofty comparisons of a small fry.[ http://www.thehindu.com/todays-paper/tp-features/tp-editorialfeatures/an-open-letter-to-tmkrishna/article5494768.ece#]

I can quote a few hundreds of eccentric geniuses like flute Mali in India in various fields and a few thousands across the globe.

Their eccentricities were psychological or emotional manifesting either as inherent natural attributes of their individual self or out of their reaction based on the actual realization or presumed perception that their extraordinary talents were not appreciated to the extent that they deserved or expected.

For those who believe in astrology there are certain combinations of Venus [ sukran]  which endows one with both extraordinary talent and eccentricities.

But then in the case of TMK, with all respects to him [ I too used to enjoy some of his concerts] let me make it very clear, avoiding comparisons [both in terms of voice quality or musical expertise] that he is not even anywhere near many others of his time and of even those much younger to him. They are all far more talented than him.

His eccentricities could be probably out of frustration that he is not able to perform as well as many others or his over ambitious short term prominence seeking and cheap publicity seeking mentality through short cuts or is the result of his having got influenced and getting confused by a totally conflicting and irrelevant ideological fixation based on a social philosophy which has proven track record of colossal failure in actual application even in domains for which it was intended and that ideology needs to be kept in the attic of a Museum, not even anywhere else in the museum, namely Leninist Marxist ideology which has failed even in USSR.

Or perhaps he is consciously aware that he cannot compete and excel among his peers and other great singers that he has resorted to, thanks to his family background and being well connected to some media houses to these tricks.

Incidentally I have written this way back without as much of fanfare or publicity as TMK more or less on same lines in certain aspects with suggestions that my small brain could think of but without trying to pose as a messiah read the link patiently [http://contentwriteups.blogspot.in/2012/08/carnatic-music-too-must-reinvent-itself.html]

Here is one interesting write up I found

“How will a deaf man understand music?

He will bring a sound detector, that might have some graphical intruments. The deaf man will make graphs of frequency vs time, and then he will merely say "THIS IS MUSIC!".

IS MUSIC MERELY "frequency vs time"?

Ask a musician to decode the frequency vs time and reproduce the music. He won't be able to. I compose music. I have tried to record my music on paper(during these vacations!) like a deaf man. Sometimes when I forget my own music, these written texts(that contain in great detail, everything) are of no use. It is dead. You need inspiration to remember the music back.

Sound forms a minuscle part of music. What matters more is the bhava(emotions and expressions) .Music requires inspiration. It requires a connection to the nature and this world. Music is never created, it is ever present, you just need to listen to it.

Music has a soul. The sound is merely its carrier.

There is the same soul within everything. Somewhere its carrier is the sound, while somewhere its carrier is the body.”[ http://prateekraj.blogspot.in/2007/10/charvaka-philosophy_02.html]
