Are we the same!!!!!

The noise is there everyday and there is nothing sweet about it.. venom pouring from all sides one watches vitriolic tongues moving all over with alacrity ..

I sit there watching the enlightened minds filled with data voice their so called opinion on how the world should run ,,,am I amused or surprised , my mind refuses to give me an answer.

As 2019 moves nearer the peace within if there was any makes room for an agitated thought to invade and one is left exhausted wondering if life has actually changed in all these years.

Few years back a new Leader with a vision occupied the chair , the Indians looked upto him with hope , the media frenzy was apparent and the diaspora (dictionary popped it up) abroad cheered happily ..

`Strikes' became a part of  vocabulary and we could hear the surgical strike happening miles away as we sat glued to our television screen wondering what exactly it meant...after all `surgery' was more heard in the hospital than in a strategy room of armed forces.. well it hardly mattered till some rejoiced and others spewed venom and needless to say One was so hysterical that he needed video footage to believe it..OMG moment never ceases..

Moving forward the Bhakts which till yesterday identified themselves with GOD today are basically propagating the achievements of its leader who is GOD to many ..the others who also are Bhakts but prefer to be called Liberal worship their GOD with lot of devotion too... needless to say its my RAM and your ALLAH debate on every aspect.

Lets look inside and ask ourselves what have WE achieved as an individual ...the answer may be a little difficult..

Today we spend more to keep us happy , our fatigue defeats us more efficiently than a healthy mind and body would make us win..

We make friends on ideology and nothing deters ourselves from abusing them if they don't subscribe ' to ours ...yes that is the way we have become..

We now choose a lot than what we ever did..

The politician and the rich continue to live life better , and the joker in us makes us look at awe and admiration praying that they continue to prosper..

The insensitivity has replaced apathy, ruthless behaviour has become a norm and we don't sympathise in the name of governance.

India as a nation over decades suffers and will continue to do so..the measurement of success is your own life and not the bland figures which are doled out day in day out.

If you have to still drive for 2 hours to cover 20 kms which you have been doing for last donkey years well life is the same..if you still cannot afford a good meal without feeling guilty and poor well you are still the same...and if that Goonda can still call himself `Dabang' and drives a SUV brandishing a Gun...well we are still ...

Rapes , murders ,kidnapping and of course that greedy doctor who fleeces you in the name of God well believe me we are still the same...

Whether it is the `midnight strike ' which was Demonetisation or a ` surgical strike' nothing has changed for me...

I still cross choked `nallahs' , I still face Jams , I still have to do with stray cattle all over the place and of course I still see the hungry being fed with contaminated food...

Nothing has changed except the way we speak to each other ..the way we abuse each other..

The so vulnerable continue to admire vision the beautiful phrases laced with punch lines ...but it is the powerful who thrive...

Hope is what will live forever ...we can continue to enjoy it...nothing affects it ...

We never had a leader and if we ever will... New Day and New Nation will be felt...

And as this Journalist titled her book .....MOST POWERFUL PM ..thank God she did not misuse the word LEADER... because we still wait for one..who will change our life.

Well Mr Prime Minister I admire your vision but not the path...where you still need to work upon to make your citizen's life better and comfortable ...at a speed which may surprise you too..

DEMONETIZATION IS SUCH A DIRTY WORD

The world today looks in awe at a country which till yesterday was just one of the many `third world countries ' trying to make it to the big league.

Time has passed and the country is now slowly coming to terms with Demonetization which left many high and dry..

Mad rush to the ATM which became deaf and dumb just like the cashier who just could not hear your desperate pleas begging for more money , those tears of a hapless father who perhaps had planned all his life to give his dear daughter a beautiful wedding as a gift from his side...needless to say the government of the day thought 2.5 lacs was enough to give one ..of course this did not apply to their breed ..after all common man was more patriotic and less aspirant..

While the common man struggled on the teller window couple of them took away unaccounted wealth from the bank in all crisp notes..that was what Demonetization meant , the true meaning of it and then the arrogance threatening voice of the govt to the middle class - don't you dare misuse your account or we will make your life more miserable' so much so for Demonetization.

Well the ball has been set rolling , the goal posts changed everyday lending credibility to the rumors of govt. losing it all ..now even 50 days is not enough ..so gear up for more tough times all in the name of patriotism while that politician lives comfortably on subsidies and perks...is this what we voted you for Sir. How much of subsidy have you taken away from that MP which doesn't attend Parliament and not even allows it to conduct business. Is this what patriotism all about.. you took away gas subsidy from many to give it to the poor who is now struggling to even make two ends meet with no cash..

Even after having banks becoming rich the RBI refrained from giving a single paisa relief to the common man ..the service tax relief below 2000 on card usage proving to be bogus ..the minister gives sermon as if he all his life did not have any unaccounted wealth...not even a single paisa to speak off.. well suddenly Harishchandras have taken birth in the ruling party as if they will join you when you demit office, with their `jholas too'.. why such hypocrisy..

When odd and even was implemented without a plan in place , we all decried the move now what do we say...another move without a plan...cashless economy comes with lot of checks and balances and a cultural shift which cannot make good for a mistake committed..is it lie after lie being spoken by the govt of the day with some other agenda in place ..I have not even seen a 500 rupee note , yes the new one yet they have arrived..where are they ..

We all know the politician arguing with you is not fighting for man on the streets but to safeguard his own wealth...the man is not so naive and that is why there is support for you Mr Prime Minister but for heaven sake please speak the truth to the common man who made you stand on the pedestal and made you look like a demi - god, the only one who can save this country.

When the common man is struggling how can you give those subsidies to the politician , how can the perks be given when that common man is going without food and standing in the queue...I appeal to you let patriotism be not 'classified'.. it is as much mine as it is yours.. and you cannot exempt your own ...we will then judge you as People's PM..

Make Demonetization look Good and not as if it took birth from a whimsical mind...making it look so bad and dirty..

The Frenzy....wake up

Enter a sitting room , sit on the nearest couch positioned carefully at a vantage point to give you that `oh that relaxing moment' and reach for that remote which perhaps that electronic guy made it look like a boon for so many who would not give anything to move that ass...
The dead tv has just been injected with the `sanjeevni bootie'  yes the herb of course and lo it breathes life...
Zombie is what you are now , staring into the idiot box ..reminds me of those days when it was called one before the LEDs and the 4ks became fashionable with that Sky and Dish complementing it.

Its Frenzy time...yes the bullets spraying all over , some hapless victims screaming for help , and yes the Zombie in you feels the blood pumping into the veins and as you come to terms with what is happening on the screen ,  the anchor is palpable and is about to scream that everything in the world is going wrong because the God Gifted Journalist has not stamped his approval on  the cabinet expansion ..bloody hell what is going on..we are all in a state of frenzy...

As you feel the blood pressure rising , of course last week the doc had asked you to abstain from watching the idiots lest it affects the health...now face the consequences.

We as human beings have learnt to be in a state of frenzy, whether its your home or workplace you need to be in it..

How much for Yoga or Meditation which would calm our minds and allow us to think straight, take the right course but it seems a huge task.

The media today survives on TRP and its aim is to influence the minds which register them at their terms and conditions.

I have many a times wondered when looking at their faces and trying to read their minds what exactly do they get by creating Frenzy in whatever they come across.

Attacks on humanity can be presented in such a way that an already shaken mind can think proactively , a political happening can be just reported to let the intelligence of another human being register and decide what is correct and what is wrong but it is not to be so..

The mantra is Frenzy and there lies the key to success...create and destroy ..move on to another one...that is how we operate and till the time  we collectively don't resist it be rest assured of getting your minds affected ,where one might even become a victim of mental disability...

What is happening? Yes that is how I would tend to really start. Sitting on a chair or just idly standing or maybe lying down my mind travels to the time of turbulence all around. 

Sunday is a beautiful day when you wake up to the sound of rain or if the clouds have decided to give you a peek of what lies behind , the rays of the sun energize you for the rest of the week to come.

My legs carry me to the door as the latch opens my eyes fall upon the Newspaper lying on the floor .Its loneliness signifying that the news which lies within is either so dreadful or may create the vaccum within for you to handle on that day.

The headlines seem to be screaming, yes the editor just told his printman to make it seem like one ,,put it in bold and let it impact the mind so much so that it searches for the column on peace desperately ..a smirk on his face for having achieved so much  in those 14 -20 pages of wisdom unleashed.

Switching on the LED which I recently bought with so much of fanfare receives my instructions with glee and the beautiful lady with almost a white ashen look reads out something terrible and makes sure that you felt miserable after hearing it. 

Did I read something about 'Mind Control' being practiced by the CIA somewhere and how certain groups were aiming to develop a New World Order.  It scared me and with a shiver I would look around for solution .

Introspecting I realize that none is in sight at least not so quickly ...everyday a new problem surfaces , a new strategy and lies laden with filth flies around to make sure that your mind cannot think straight.

Is it some grand design laid out by somebody. Has somebody realized what that wily politician is doing or that the anchor trying to drive some goddamn point in the name of a debate...No our eyes receiving the images with the sound carrying its meaning to the vulnerable brain making you think what you ought not to.

Throats slashed by the radicals , the voice is supposed to be  throttled no not even an 'aaah' should be heard lest it evokes some kind of an alert.

Time has come perhaps to close your mind to the noises and think with calmness . No not join the masses but arrive at a decision yourself.

Compose the thoughts and drive that energy you received from the sun to positive channels otherwise one will be just swept away with the waves of a distorted mind whose aim is to ensure chaos and maybe a New World Order .

Evolve, is then when I send a message to my brain which makes me come out of the slumber. 

Afraid to go spiritual

Born in `Kalyug' our minds are more free and at ease if we keep away from matters and practices which would make the `Almighty' happy.
We keep away from `Bhakti' which means unconditional surrender to somebody who gave us life.A festival or an event is not really enough to define `Bhakti' ,even though it is said that even if you utter his name unconsciously ,it will be heard by him. Yes heard by him but will that really give peace to the person who uttered and who may even have forgotten about it the next moment.Difficult to say but then `Surrender' is must and that too unconditionally.

I will dwell upon a simple example..Parents demand attention and `seva' from  the very child who they have given birth to. Will they really bless him or be happy if he simply remembered them and took their name without actually doing anything for them. No, because we are in `Kalyug' and our belief is restricted to  some form of physical action which needs to be substantiated with Karma that makes them happy .

God is our father or Mother (no arguments on the gender) who gave us life ,our existence . He inculcated some values at the time of birth and rest were to be absorbed or discarded as the journey began. We decide whether we actually need to bow infront of him or challenge his existence,the latter not inviting any wrath but an acknowledgement of your existence as just another child of his who has gone  astray.

HE takes many forms to keep guiding his children ,and keeping them safe from an untoward incident in their lives but he punishes you for being errant or for your karmas which is fair enough .Look at the similarities between the way Parent's handle their ward and the way HE handles us all and still we refuse to surrender to HIM.

Today we should not be afraid to  understand HIM and sing praises in his honor, as humans let us connect with HIM in his human form who exists and holds our hand. Only HE can make you achieve moksha or free your soul forever.

Taking birth as Human is `abhishaap' meaning curse which makes you undergo pain and suffering irrespective of your status. Only HE can relieve you of this . Hence do `Bhakti' and surrender to him unconditionally and let him do the rest.

We cannot judge him simply because we are mere mortals!

Aniruddh Bapu - You are Supreme

Today I was spiritually connected to my `Sadguru' Shri Aniruddh Bapu who guides and holds my hands whenever I call out his name. Guru Poornima celebration brought all of his selected devotees together. It is said praying together generates energy which touches all of us and brings us closer to fulfillment.
As I looked at the video which played `salutation' my eyes had tears welled up. Such is the power of `Sadguru' whom you surrender to unconditionally.
His `Pravachan' heals the soul and his hands hold you protecting from uncertainty,unknown fear and maybe guides you onto a path which we `mere mortal's don't even know of.
My belief in him has become so strong in the past 2 years that I start my day only after I have sought his blessings . He is my Sai who stands tall and away from  the `aandus and paandus' who are coconuts which break your teeth if you try to dig deep into it.
On this pious occasion I bow down to my `Aniruddh /Sai ' and seek his blessings as he gives `vachan' to protect his `bhakts' from any untoward incident in their life.
I touch his feet and kiss them again ..Bless me and all dear to you Aniruddh Bapu.
We all Love you unconditionally.

Shocking Value!

You need attention- shock the world,and yes this is definitely a tested successful mantra.
Social networking sites have allowed many to remain anonymous and still shock people who follow you . Sex definitely attracts the open minded and the conservative in equal numbers maybe the latter even beating the former.
Put a nice burning DP with a shock value of course and lo you have the numbers.Is this the degeneration of the human mind and giving intellectual brain a nudge!
I find even Shopping Mall like a page on the social network now. You get to see things which were just fantasies few years ago. Walk into an upmarket mail and the eyes will be besieged with sights the human mind is registering with an envious speed.
No wonder adolescence has come in a trifle early now.
Wait and see the stripper, she or he will strip you off every bit of your thinking clothes and make you feel so exposed and naked.
Cheers to the shock value !
