DO YOU CARE ABOUT OTHERS FEELINGS IN LIFE?
This question too came in Silicon News, If your answer is’ no’ to the above question then you are not human instead you are a brute. The basic cultural behavior means that you have the most loving soul, even to the earth and walk without stamping angrily on our mother earth. Such character do give away their character or the sadists in them, if they are seen being ignorant or deliberately causes hurt to any animal bird or fish, I really have started to think vegetarian out of my sympathy and love for all living beings irrespective of the looks or shapes if it is a living being then our feelings are also applicable to all living, thinking creatures. Are we not seeing the distress of a cat or a dog which loses or the young one dies in front of the parent be it be the male or female. I have observed the cats being so depressed for almost 3 days to one week. If parted by human beings also leaves the animal or any living being in the most emotional outbursts of crying out for their lost soul mate or children.
How can people think of killing without any feelings, they are in fact sick in their mind, or may have been the victims who turn sadistic due to their childhood horrors or witnessing most horrible acts of people around us?
I strongly advocate the right to live for each species on our mother earth which belongs to all, but of late people have started thinking they own the world and are seemingly without any feelings for the hurt they causes to the society as a whole and all living beings. That is called sinful life.

LOVE MARRIAGES VS ARRANGED MARRIAGES.
ARE ARRANGED MARRIAGES GETTING OUT DATED?
Are arranged marriages getting out dated? This was the question posed in silicon news; my views are just like any other guy for and against.
Firstly, arranged marriages have only existed in Asia mainly in India, where the parents of the bride and groom start searching for a partner for life for their children. Our forefathers must have tried every which way at last to have come to such an arrangement where the parents with the wisdom of having lived a life knows best, due to their sheer experience in life which teaches all so many lessons in life , and we all win or lose at times. But unlike games or jobs marriage is the most important turning point in the life of a girl or a boy. Westerners mostly preferred their own children to choose by allowing them for dating and knowing each other before they decide whether they wants to get married or choose some one else, if the relationship gets spoiled, in 99 out of 100 cases is due to the ego of the persons involved or due to their sensitivities they realize simply that they are not the type to get along easily. That presumption is wrong as in every case there are common likes more that the common dislikes. Now you have a chance to refuse something about which you have a different view and insist that your view is correct, irrespective of the reasoning ability one can just decide to oppose or there is another chance to think differently when you find that your partners view is different, just give a thought from their angle as well and realize that may be they have a point and if you are able to admit at least once or twice in your married life, then it is actually very easy to move along without much friction. By giving in to the wisdom of your partner may on most occasions save you from very embarrassing situations in life. Instead If you are able to at least say once in ones life “honey, I thought about what you said yesterday and I guess you have a point there, sorry I was rude without realizing the mistake”. That way it is really easy to remain united for life in each case whether you get married by love or arranged. The feeling of having got married and when you start to live together for years you will find you can not do away with your partner, once you are alone and may be missing your partner terribly, but just do not want to take the initiative in solving your quarrels instead of fighting over it again and again.
Perhaps the idea of ‘Jathakam” or astrology in English, is meant to identify the strong points and weak points of the couple and to match it and see , whether the characters will make it or break. Each star has certain inherent qualities which make the person born showing the strong and weak sides of the character such as anger, temperament, patience, looks and the probable stars which are more likely to match with each other. I am convinced that if the timing of birth is accurate then ‘Jothisham’ also becomes accurate. But if you give your time wrongly by mistake then, say one hour, there will not be many similarities because the star of the person has been wrongly calculated and the whole process becomes different as well. Otherwise I found that that by matching the Jathaka Porutham as known in India , and takes nine qualities from the stars of the bride and groom , and couple hardly matches 9/9 but if their likeness [porutham] is majority, which means 5/9 ,then almost the couple are more likely to stay married for their life. The matching process is more than 5 then there is more chances of them stay married for life.
What goes wrong in love marriages are that, they are uniting out of the infatuation of youth, rather than the strong bond of togetherness, which we can only measure after marriage. I know I may sound silly for at least some people that are precisely why; I feel that I owe them an explanation. My views are only thoughts of me as an individual and it may not be one hundred percent correct. But in real life situation I want the couple to try the points I gave above like saying, sorry for your outbursts, which you can feel that creates so much warmth in ones life and the marriage gets stronger day by day. That will create good children who feels secured and loved when they have both their parents with them while growing up. And by becoming a role model for your children by showing them, that mistakes are natural but realizing a mistake and apologizing for it is the smooth way forward for harmony and happiness along with good health in life.

OUR BIGGEST CHANCE TO BECOME AN ECONOMIC SUPER POWER.
INDIA HAS MANPOWER BRAINS AND CAPITAL INFLOW.
India is the second most populated country in the world with 1.2 billion people, the brain pool we have is the best in the world. We have skilled manpower and the overflowing inward remittance. Investments inflow is more than that of China of late, as the goodwill earned over a period of decades have been immense. If at all we had some weakness in our political stability, after each state started to play the dirty politics of regionalism and the tactics of playing for the gallery, was becoming too much, such as the Raj thakery style of vote bank politics, which stands shattered with the latest verdict of the people which was loud and clear. They want stability and wanted a government who is seen as genuine in their approach in governing rather than the rhetoric of the shining side of India only focused, while covering the sad plight of the villages. As Late Prime Minister Rajiv Gandhi envisaged, we had to start form our villages rather than metros, if we wanted to see a real shining India. Tackling our backwardness, which is inclusive of all instead of the earlier style of favoring the few sections who earns foreign exchange, while the efforts of our farmers were not given their due and as a result, big corporate culture a la US took off, with all those big fishes entering the country for a peace of the cake, unlike in China where ,they have a well protected environment and business people never could trust them for the simple reason that their government has ruled all along by suppressing the free spirit of mankind ,which simply can not go on for ever.
Political stability in China is still a question mark? Any day they might see a mighty backlash, if they go on suppressing free thoughts of individuals, who are actually the real contributors and proves the power of human brain only in such conditions, where the freedom is the first priority followed by the power of the masses, which can change a government by voting against the establishment overnight. Indians has proved over and over that they just would not stand by, as they recognizes the crooks from the lot, may be our Media has played a good part in creating awareness around the world about the ground situation in almost all countries except China, who still don’t open up their woes in front of the world and believes in tackling it all with an iron hand. Such a system is not ideal for big business to bloom or big ideas to come out of the geniuses, who are those entrepreneurs who did make a big difference to the free market, where cost effectiveness was the mantra, the main reason for Europe and US to fall. Chinese could not make hay while the sun was shining, but Japan and Korea took advantage in the beginning, but made big mistakes of taking in partners from the western world, who on the other side brought in Technology and refined products. But the fact was from Mexico to Japan they depended heavily on US big players which, was their only mistake. US had its economy covered with their tentacles spreading all around the world after the British turn was over by the time of Second World War, which ruined most European countries including Russia. Every time there is a sign of depression they would simply bring back their funds from abroad suddenly making those countries very much vulnerable. Mexico, Japan, Korea and lately due to the sheer numbers involved they included China too in their scheme of things and India as well, to begin with but our Vyshyas, the business community among the Indians started to double cross and out thought US think tank along with Europeans and Mongolians as a whole and have started to play big around the globe, US must be now regretting for having let them begin in the first place.
But India also was shaken when the world markets crashed, but avoided total failure due to our inherent strengths, mainly our democratic set up and the right person was at the helm when the worst happened. Now this is our biggest opportunity to consolidate and become a super power as our Late Prime Minister Rajiv Gandhi dreamed and his son seems to be continuing exactly from the point and policies started by his father. As a first generation computer literate, he must have ensured his ideas were not lost after his sudden demise. Rahul now has come of age and is capable of seeing through the phase of consolidation. We can point out the simple communication technology started by our Sam pitroda, under Rajiv Gandhi, now has come of age. Every village in India now is connected to the web. We have the Capital inflow to ensure that our mass population is made use of in our development efforts, by including each and every village in India be it be in a remote Chinese border or Burma border to down south to the tip of Kanyakumari, I am not sure about the progress in Kashmir as the state was always under turmoil, since last 3 decades at least. We now have the Brain, Capital, Technology and skilled manpower to succeed in converting our country to the top of the charts in all spheres.
Now with the young guards too joining the most experienced team of our Prime Minister Manmohan Singh and company, and if the figures of 9% growth are achieved for the next five years, then nothing is impossible as far as India is concerned. We will be a force to reckon with. But the most important philosophy to remember is the story of the trees while blooming with fruits leans downwards in humility. That should be our approach towards the world community who is now looking towards India for answers. We do have answers for sure, as the next five years will definitely prove.

TIBET AND LAMAS THE LOST CULTURE & SPIRITUALITY.
THE HIGHEST PLANK IN SPIRITUALITY. {Chiranjeevi.}
Our topmost philosophers have always taught us to be living according to the values in life and also to pray for the ‘MOKSHA’ the release from the human bondage, rather the release of our soul for ultimate freedom from rebirths and cycles of births according to our KARMA [Performing our Duty towards all and sundry] results, which means if one has not lived properly or has lived sinfully, it may make us to be born again as a dog or a cat or even a bird, that is decided by our Karmic way in life, the results may be bad or good according to your performance while you were alive and living. Our soul is said to be wandering with out getting released, from the bondages of lives many generations in different kinds perhaps. For a normal person, it is more than one can expect as the release from rebirths itself can be considered a boon or a life well lived.
Then there is this stage when one becomes a chiranjeevi [not the actor] a soul without death for ever. In Hinduism only Hanuman the monkey god and a true bhaktha[devotion] of Lord.Vishnu [Rama], is said to have become such an enigma with his character mentioned in both Ramayana and Mahabharatha epics of Hindus, said to have happened in different eras and is the true history of mankind, according to our science of Vedas and Upanishads. All the names mentioned in those epics are still there in the same name example ‘Kurukshetra’ ‘Srilanka’ Himalaya etc. If there are still people who doubts the existence of our epics and write it off as just another story is terribly mistaken. It is pure history of the prehistoric period as known in English only due to their ignorance and lack of depth in thinking for logics.
They just would not agree for a fact that all the epics are the result of happenings only difference may lie in sequence or due to our lack of knowledge, of a far superior scientific culture, which may have existed and due to cyclic changes may have been eroded and new life forms came in to existence again, for how long this will go on, no one knows or for exactly how long it has taken us to reach this level also is unknown.
The depth or power of a black hole is not known, how many such black holes exists no one knows. Micro organisms are now being studied and for any kind of virus we don’t have treatment but only body defense mechanisms to fight such viruses. The only fact we know for sure is that we know very little.
In spite of all the limitations we all are still living and trying to be happy. Yes that’s the way forward and one may yearn to become a chiranjeevi, a person without death, like our Bajrangbali, [Hanuman, Anjaneya, etc he is known by so many names and is the god for our Kaliyugam just like our Ayyappaswamy and Devi, [Rudra,Bhadra,Kali,Lakshmi,Saraswathy etc the different names for the mother of all beings.]
There were Lamas of Tibet who could take their soul out of their bodies to travel in light speed and again in to the left behind body to rise again as the same person, for them the soul is indestructible and lives infinitely.{Thanks to Mr.Ramesh Naik, who conveyed a lot of high philosophy to my brother and through him me as well?} ‘For more visit ‘solitairebala’ in Google

LIVING ON THE EDGE BARELY SURVIVING.
BEST THRILLER STORY OF MY LIFE.
My experience itself was so thrilling in reality that I almost forgot the graveness of the dangers; I went through as a young man in his early twenties. I had been wandering with out any aim in life and went to place to place, wherever god took me and led the way, I just followed my intuitions and inner self.
After my graduation my father had made it very clear that it is time that you start to earn your own living, and pointed out to the world and said “son there is a world out there, you have to go out and earn a rightful and honest living”. Now in hindsight,I can see and feel his love and warmth for me, as he knew inside his mind, that by getting exposure on my own, I will be able to make my life as every self made person should try & emulate.
To get a job on your own merits and not by recommendations or due to the high power contacts we had. Though my first break came in the form of a job as Medical Representative for a Chennai based Company manufacturing, some very good products. They were the leaders of their brands, which was very fortunate, and my cousin who was the stockists and dealer for a lot of Medical Companies had actually introduced me as his cousin, and asked the Manager of the company to select, if I was found to be meritorious. As luck would have it, I got the job and was on my own enjoying the freedom of finance and living along with my fellow sales people in a big Bungalow, we rented for the purpose at Cannanore in Kerala State, I had everything going for me then, a two wheeler with money to spend on drinks and friends, and was living one of the most carefree phases in my life.
But it was not long before, I jumped my job to a better company with more salary, and it was based on Mumbai and gave me an elaborate training in YMCA international a Star Hotel, with boarding and training, but some how I did not last long in that job as well. I resigned and started my search for a better option or job, but it was always easier to get a job when you have one, but it becomes difficult when you are out of job and your nervousness shows, for you are desperately in need of a job. It was the toughest phase, I went through in life and the only time I remained jobless for a few months. But it was enough to learn that at the end of it all, when you are broke and down, no one else will be willing to help you, as they would want me to learn a lesson in life, so as to be serious in life ever after.
Out of sheer necessity for a change in life, I went to North East where my Sister and her husband, who was an officer with a bank was posted. I accompanied them to North East and the rest is history. After a few months of getting acclimatized, I started my search for a job and also tried to get in to a law college to do a law degree,which was my weakness at that point. I spend a few years working for some or the other, while I also wrote the BSRB exams. [Banking Service Recruitment Board].
When I got my appointment letter it was already late and I hardly had any more days, and I was at that time with a star hotel in Gujrat [Surat] and had my guitar and some personal belongings, which I stuffed in to a shoulder bag leaving my guitar and all other sundry items behind, and made a rush to make it to Jorhat In Assam, where my appointment letter had advised me to join in 14 days time& almost 10 days had gone by. My brother gave me enough money to make it via Ahmedabad, Jaipur, Udaipur and Delhi. When I got down at Delhi Railway station my train which was leaving for Guwahati was almost about to move, but I ran as quickly as I could with my shoulder bag, some how bought a ticket and made it in to the train just like any thriller movie as the compartment I caught was almost the last but one, I threw my bag inside first before hopping in to the train which had gained speed of about 30 to 40 Kms by them,and had almost cleared the platform, but I could hang on to the door bar and stood there as there was hardly any space to go inside , some guy had taken my bag kindly and kept it up along with his luggage all the while, I was standing on the footboard at times sitting on the door kept open with the wind in my face, I just was feeling alive, but was so terribly hungry as I had hardly eaten anything since last 24 hours, I traveled the same way throughout Bihar and got some dry roties to eat and the Railway station’s water was enough for me to drink as much as I wanted and survived another 36 hrs to 48hrs by the time I got to Kolkata , again the journey went on for another day almost and by night 9 pm after 2 days I got down at Guwahati and booked for a night bus to take me to Jorhat. Both towns are besides Brahmaputra river in Assam, I had a proper meals after almost 4 to 5 days that night and got in to the bus and slept off dozing only as the bus journey was a terrible ordeal, after all the tension I had already gone through and made it the next morning by 6Am at Jorhat and reported on the same day and ever since has remained with the same bank till today.

My brother gave me enough money to make it via Ahmedabad, Jaipur, Udaipur and Delhi. When I got down at Delhi Railway station my train which was leaving for Guwahati was almost about to move, but I ran as quickly as I could with my shoulder bag, some how bought a ticket and made it in to the train just like any thriller movie as the compartment I caught was almost the last but one, I threw my bag inside first before hopping in to the train which had gained speed of about 30 to 40 Kms by them,and had almost cleared the platform, but I could hang on to the door bar and stood there as there was hardly any space to go inside , some guy had taken my bag kindly and kept it up along with his luggage all the while, I was standing on the footboard at times sitting on the door kept open with the wind in my face, I just was feeling alive, but was so terribly hungry as I had hardly eaten anything since last 24 hours, I traveled the same way throughout Bihar and got some dry roties to eat and the Railway station’s water was enough for me to drink as much as I wanted and survived another 36 hrs to 48hrs by the time I got to Kolkata , again the journey went on for another day almost and by night 9 pm after 2 days I got down at Guwahati and booked for a night bus to take me to Jorhat. Both towns are besides Brahmaputra river in Assam, I had a proper meals after almost 4 to 5 days that night and got in to the bus and slept off dozing only as the bus journey was a terrible ordeal, after all the tension I had already gone through and made it the next morning by 6Am at Jorhat and reported on the same day and ever since has remained with the same bank till today.

SWINE FLUE,HOW TO COMBAT?
Swine Flu will spread fast and furious if left unchecked.
Having got caught with chicken gunya, right after the Tsunami, the viral infection which spread in South and most of the people suffered due to prolonged pains in the joints in my case my right leg, almost for a year which made me decide myself perhaps, is a case of getting older and arthritis but fortunately it disappeared almost after 6 months to One year, when I did some cycling at home with the exercise ten minutes a day. In seven days the pain was gone and I was again fit to drive around and explore the unexplored roads and places of the beaten track, though we hardly come across such a place in India any longer due to the doubling population growth and the density is so much per square kilometers in comparison with any other country, or most of the countries at least.
As if to celebrate my new found freedom from deceases apart from high BP which had to be kept under control with daily medicines, god knows how long one has to go through all the medications. I did cover the southern part of Karnataka including Udupi, Mangalore,Mookambigai, Dharmasthala and back, immediately after a few days I was off to Chennai by road from Coimbatore, and covered almost all sides of Tamilnadu on so many occasions. Now the new terror is Swine Flue, though only 11 cases has been reported in India, that too was on the entry point airports from where they were swift in their action in putting the infected in isolation. How many more cases we have with out reporting which goes missing or the patient dies, some might not notice the symptoms of Swine flue.
Viruses of all types are simply not treatable with medicines, as the case of our most common cold, a result of a virus instead, of a Bacteria or Fungus which has antibiotics and without any anti dot for virus, we can only prevent it rather than treating it, the only treatment is our body defense mechanism, which fights and wins over the virus causing common cold. But AIDS virus or Bird virus or the latest Swine virus are all deadly, if not checked in urgent measures and have the destructive power of vanishing millions of people like in the cases of Malaria, plague and small pox just to name a few which has taken its toll on our population in different times.
Every century will have at least a dozen types of new deceases with different symptoms ,as we come over one, there is another popping up some where in the world. I have heard stories of ship full of people in the middle of voyage is caught with chicken pox or measles, they in earlier times, used to toss them over to the sea to prevent it from spreading to others. At least now they are only kept in isolated places are a comforting thought. As our science and technology improves there are newer and fresh problems facing man kind. The tests and tribulations of the almighty, which may at times, look naïve towards innocent people, but why? We still don’t have an answer, the cycle of universe changing in millions of years may have started to gain speed due to our blunders. Let us hope our prayers will be answered with solutions for all sorts of illness in the world.
