Corruption is definitely not receding, it has changed its form, become sophisticated, and has become accepted as part and parcel of life. It frequently raises criticism only when it becomes huge in numbers to digest.Only a tribal society there won't be any corruption, where almost everyone has to work for his food and fend for himself most of the time.

Corruption will always exist in some form or the other in our society, it can only be so. Any value accrual to one person, disproportionate to his effort can be termed a form of corruption or to simply put it "Value erosion is Corruption", there is probably nothing absolute about corruption, except in definition,value itself is relative. To an extend getting money out of inheritance is also a form of injustice or corruption. we have to live with some injustice in one form or the other. There is no real escape from injustice and corruption right from the day we decided to have settled life with agriculture. If you can't make your own food or protect your own self, then there will be corruption always in the society, no matter how much ever values you infuse into the blood or semen or what ever.. It is a part of the price we pay for having a settled and secure life that a majority of the society life. Those who ensure security of any kind are bound to have more power and hence will like to acquire more power to secure themselves. The need for security & privacy has some corruption built into it.

In the case of telecom fraud, nobody says raja is not a fraud, but stake sale by corporates, to get a benifit of 70,000 crores or more.. within 6 months, i am sure corporates got a lot more benefit out of this than raja. vodophone recently involved in $2.5 billion tax evasion. This thing of going behind money has to kind of stop. Money is starting to rule us. It was tool but this tool has become dangerous. anything invented for operational quickness, falls into bad hands and makes life difficult for everyone.One terrorist and everybody has to be checked, one thief and everybody doors have to be locked and everybody have to by lockers, one rapist and all women have to walk in fear in bad areas and bad times. Fear of these guys seem to rule us. Only a fearless society can eliminate such people and all the pain one needs to take to protect ourselves...can we be one? same is the case with UID issue.

Sonia Gandhi got into politics to save her husband's name in bofor's case. a weak congress would mean rajiv gandhi was not so great, not even good sometimes, but strong congress would mean he was always good and great. It would mean narasimha rao does not even deserve a mention. Now This same lady has to render justice to other people involved in corruption in congress and UPA, what do you expect from her??. Hypocracy is the order of the day in everything. A government which is supposed give education is involved in liquor sales in tamil nadu, and people who were selling liquor,tobacco& drugs are now rich guys giving education. It was goldman sachs which was involved in converting black money to white money for mafia in Newyork, now you got a great chance of becoming Fed back gov or lead a lot of govt and international financial organisations if you have experience at goldman. Even recently goldman had to pay huge fines for mall practices. But still all the big advisors to the US government have come from this greatest of all investment bank. Basically you have to master the art of hyppocracy to become super rich or super powerful and to keep it, much more than any other art.

There are people debating as to whether, I can buy insurance on your asset? in germany. It is like i can destroy your asset and make money out of it. It is called credit default swaps(CDS). They have invented instruments like that during the financial crisis, so that somebody like J Paulson can make $20 billion for his clients and $ 6 billion for himself. This the ideal and ambition of many people who get into MBAs who want to enter wall streets, investment banks etc..QUICK MONEY..NOW J Paulson is a hero in the financial world..and he gives a talk to fed bank and other financial world people, how to prevent a crisis. I were there, i would ask him put down all the money he made before he can give a bloody talk to me.Derivative traders out there.. please go and get some real job for heaven sake, lets us find some better ways of price discovery. they are like snakes entering a ant hill. sorry people i don't worship snakes.

Lets us be ants and worship our fellow ants.

Inclinations,varna sociology, philosophy: Hindu reform: Demystifying the VEDAS. new smrithis

2010-12-19T16:35:00.000-08:00

my dad and mom keep saying this " nangalam periva sonna appadiya keypoom; kali muthiduthu,eppadi kelvi kekaran paru" - we used to listen to whatever our elders said, this is kali yuga..hence you are asking all these taboo questions.I would say they are frogs in this serious deep mythological well, but i shouldn't distrub them because let them be in their deep bakthi marg, of personal god, to help them through their weakness..i will not disturb them. I have had times when i had needed a personal god.. when i was weak..but no more...Anyways getting to the point.

Bhagavath geetha talks about 4 varnas, basically he says 4 inclinations of men, 4 tendencies that dominate in men.

1) Power:kshatriya: romantic: bhakthi marg/yoga-- kings and rulers - Indisciplined discipline

2) Knowledge:brahman:disciplined:jana marg -- teachers and knowledge exchangers- disciplined indiscipline

3) Wealth/properity:vishya:streetsmart&well meaning : karma yoga:- material exchangers - pure discipline

4) Service: shudra:nor responsilbility beyond doing what he is told/trained to do in society; bhakthi/karma : those do as per the direction of other three : pure discipline

There is nothing hereditary can be heriditory Period. The inclinations are natural or naturalized. These are not tight compartments for sure. But ideally one is asked to choose one of these paths for his life. I strongly believe rigidities came as result of ease of knowledge transfer and vested interest ofcourse.

In modern life, people experience all times of inclinations, as the times permit them. i have these these inclinations change in me many a times, but there was one element in me that almost never changed... There was a truth seeker, i wanted to know or understand the truth of everything all the time, i will keep digging deeper and the truth seeker in me never dies and will never die.FYI I Identify myself as a truth seeker

This is extremely important kind of people i feel veda vyasa missed out or did not talk about in the context of society.

5) Mystics, reserachers, scientists, guru, saints or the people who go behind the truth, people don't really care about anything else but unlocking truths, ultimate and relative. These are the people who ultimately have to rule the society. In their honesty alone rest the society's good will and future. They should never be controlled by the other four class in anyway in their work. They need ultimate freedom... and have to be given as much freedom. Any society that does not do this will eventually die. They are to be revered. These people have a huge responsibility, the biggest of all in guiding the society to its correct goals and 100% honestly so. They are to practise raja yoga, the king of yogas, because it is the yoga of the people who should run the society. - pure indiscipline.(if you so badly want to know the truth you will get effortless discipline)

What ever veda vyasa did as part of Mahabharata was monumental work and he himself was huge authority on many things in his times,today and wil be for times to come, but i will not stop myself from doing a constructive criticism of his work.Vyasa came to be called as veda vyasa because he kind of compiled the sruthis(heard). vedas except for upanishad does not have much significance to a mordern hindu. vyasa also has this other name called krishna dvaipayana,sorry vyasa you were as human as us or as divine as us and next to certainty i can say god krishna is almost certainly a mythological a character created by veda vyasa the great..to give authority to his profound knowledge..(his truth)..note:- People with any kind of proof to tell me that all that was said in Mahabharata happened exactly the way it was described.., contact me please.. i badly want it.

Chargesheet against Sonia (Maino) Gandhi and Her Congress Party From: Narain Kataria in New York

2010-12-18T18:22:00.001-08:00

--------- some news from last year march 2009

In the last five years, Sonia (Antonia Maino) Gandhi, the President of Congress Party, and UPA Chairperson, has emerged as a very powerful woman in India . She is a devout Catholic Christian. To the dismay and disenchantment of Hindus, instead of adopting Hinduism after her marriage to Rajiv Gandhi, she / her family allegedly made it a pre-condition of her marriage that Rajiv Gandhi convert to Catholicism. Or at least that her children (Raul aka Rahu Gandhi and Bianca aka Priyanka) be raised as Christians.

Because of her belief rooted in the Christian faith that her religion is superior to the native Hindu Dharma, she feels herself more comfortable in the company of non-Hindus. It is thus natural that she surrounds herself with mostly the Christian and Muslim advisors. For that reason, she is very close to Ahmed Patel, A. K. Anthony, Oscar Fernandes, Abdul Rahman Antulay, E. Ahmed, Y. S. Rajasekhara Reddy (a Christian), Dr. Shakeel Ahmad, Shafi Qureshi, John Dayal, Mohammad Hamid Ansari, and Ambika Soni (also a Christian).

During the Congress rule in the last five years, the condition of Hindus has gone from bad to worse. The worst form of repression has been unleashed on Hindus. Hindus today feel helpless, rudderless, leaderless and under an invisible asphyxiating hold. Hindu icons have been arrested (Shankaracharya of Kanchi Sri Jayendra Sarasvati), Hindu saints (Swami Laxmananda Saraswati) murdered, Hindu Sadhvis (Pragya Singh) tortured, patriotic Hindus treated like hard-core criminals (Col. Purohit), armed forces weakened and demoralized (Batla House incident), Hindu Dharma vilified and demonized (Ram Sethu), and the minorities pampered at the cost of national security (Afzal Guru).

In addition, under the “Muslims-First” program initiated by the robot Prime Minister Manmohan Singh, “sites for Haj houses, waiver of loans to the tune of Rs. 500 crore for Muslims in Andhra Pradesh alone, Rs. 140 crore worth scholarships to Muslim boys and girls in Andhra Pradesh, payment of Rs. 200,000 per year for 20,000 Muslims students studying engineering and Rs. 50,000 per year for several thousand Muslims studying medicine” (Dr. T.H. Chowdhary in Organizer) – even pension to the children of terrorists – have been announced!

In order to garner the Moslem votes, a staggering sum of Rs. 550 corers has been allocated in the next Five Year Plan for promotion of an Urdu television channel. http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/NEWS/India/Efforts_on_to_promote_Urdu_channel_Govt/articleshow/811680.cms.

In this connection, it should be noted that during Islamic rule in India , Tipu Sultan had imposed Urdu on Karnataka Hindus and Nizam of Hyderabad had done the same on Telegu speaking Hindus.

In a step closer to imposing the Islamic legal system, Sharia, in largely Hindu India, the India’s Human Resources and Development (HRD) Ministry is now all set to treat the madrasa certification as being equivalent to the Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE).

In order to further accelerate the Islamization of India , the Ministry of Home Affairs has instructed the Central Para-military Forces to make certain that 20 percent of their recruitment is made from the Muslim community.

With a clear view to appease Muslims, the Government of India led by the Congress Party has consistently avoided executing the orders of the Supreme Court to hang Mohammed Afzal Guru, the convicted mastermind of the vicious armed attack on Indian Parliament in December 2001.

“There are approximately 207,000 Hindu temples in Karnataka with a total income of about 72 crores. Out of these, the government spends merely 6 crores on the upkeep of temples; the rest, though collected from the Hindu devotees, is recklessly spent on Muslim madrasas and Christian churches; a phenomenal Rs 50 crores on madrassas and Rs 10 crores on churches”. (Sri Sri Ravi Shankar , India Today in 2003)

The government control of Hindu temples in secular India is a blatant violation of religious freedom in the country. In Andhara Pradesh alone, the 85 percent of the temple revenues from The Tirupati Devasthanam – a whopping Rs. 3,100 crores – are transferred into the state exchequer, which then are freely spent on Muslim and Christian causes.

On encouragement of the local Congress Rajya Sabha member, the converted Christian tribals who recently joined Maoist groups had Swami Lakshmananda Sarasvati and his four disciples murdered in the State of Orissa .

Instead of expelling the Bangladeshi Muslim infiltrators, the Congress government’s anti-Hindu stance came to fore when 1,500 Hindu refugees from Bangladesh, now settled in Kendrapara district of Orissa, were issued the Quit India notices!

The Congress Party government at the Center made a big blunder by repealing the Prevention of Terrorist Activities Act (POTA). This action emboldened the Islamic terrorists to ravage and batter with impunity the 20 million people of Mumbai on November 26, 2008, thereby killing over 200 Indian citizens and humiliating the entire nation in front of the whole world. What a disgrace!

Then, as if to sprinkle salt on the wounds of Indians (read Hindus) recovering from the shock of Mumbai massacre, the India’s Minister of State for External Affairs E. Ahmed, a fundamentalist Islamist and the President of Indian Union Muslim League, had the temerity to force India’s Consul General Prabhu Dayal in New York to celebrate the Eid festivity at the Consulate within weeks of the terrible carnage.

Mumbai Police Commissioner admitted on February 12, 2009 that 14 to 16 Indian Muslims too were involved in the 26/11 Mumbai attacks, besides the Pakistani attackers. But UPA government led by the Congress party Chairperson Sonia Gandhi keeps misleading the nation by saying that all jihadists were Pakistanis.

The Central Human Resources and Development Minister, Shri Arjun Singh has concluded an agreement with Saudi Arabia under which a few billion dollars will be given to the Islamic universities in India for the purpose of establishing Islamic Centers. This is a very dangerous development. We firmly believe that this ill-conceived move is not only anti-Hindu and anti-India but it also is treacherous activity designed to pull India fast into the vortex of World Pan-Islamic movement.

While the Foreign Minister Pranab Mookerjee has been exhorting on Pakistan to shut down the terrorist training centers in their country, no drastic steps are taken in our own country – Azam Garh in U.P. and in the State of Kerala – to stop the jihadists from transforming India into a training ground for the home-grown terrorists.

Most of the newspapers in India are controlled by the Government and are the classic example of suppressio veri or the concealment of truth (e.g. the attack by Muslim goons on Telegraph Newspaper in Kolkata was blacked out) and suggestio falsi or a statement of a falsehood amounting to being a fraud (e.g. negative publicity was given to attack on pubs in Bangaluru with a mal-intent to slander the Hindu groups).

Now, a few words about Aam Admi, the Sonia Gandhi’s pet political expression to describe the country’s common man…

According to M.J. Akbar’s article in The Pioneer, when the present Sonia government came to power in year 2004, there were 270 million people in country below the poverty line. The number of the poor people, however, has increased by 55 million, or 20% – a horrifying rise..

In the past India was ruled by Muslims and Christians. It is a matter of shame and disgust that India is still being ruled by the minorities. Hindus cannot count on the UPA government to protect their interests, life and property. Since Hindus make up about 83% of the total population, it is obligatory on them to be more vigilant and circumspect.

Hindus should galvanize the public distrust of Gandhi dynasty. They should throw out the eminences grise (persons exercising power or influence without holding an official position) of India in the next general elections and reclaim political power for the majority population. If Hindus shed their centuries old torpor, and work in unison, the artificially assembled UPA government will fall like ninepins.

Election 2009: Upset BJP, AIADMK mistakes

2009-05-30T17:47:00.000-07:00

Why BJP lost and why congress won. I actually don't like congress and DMK much, as i think congress & DMK are the most corrupt parties and practise dynasty politics in India now. Well BJP also did not live up show themselves and clear and strong alternative to Congress, Though they have it in them

1) BJP failed to make Alliances in Adavance, There is quite of negligence in doing this. Should have moved AIADMK and TDP, probably even with Mamatha's TMC early on ie about 1 year or before,

2) Getting into a issue with BJD was a mistake : this means another 40-50 seats : this would have helped the regional parties also

2) Rajasthan and Maharastra poor showing ; ( don't know enough about the politics here)

Maharastra:- shiv sena's fight with non marathi's has cost BJP dear:
Rajasthan: more work needs to be done, it is also summer time and many people did not come out and vote.:- another 40 seats.. lost here..

3) Going forward BJP needs to focus on building there base rajasthan,maharastra and UP properly:

I suggest some new approach of building a SAIRAM temple in ayodhya instead of Ram temple.. that will unify Hindu's and Muslim as saibaba is unifying figure between hindu's and mulsim. BJP will stand to gain the good will of the people to have found a peaceful solution to the ram temple issue. Nothing remarkable has been done in these states by BJP. BJP can successfully break its communal image and still take advantage of being Godloving party, as most of india is God fearing/loving.

4) BJP did not handle media, properly, i don't think their camapagin was rightly targeted at votes. BJP really needs to learn this trick from congress.

Also needs to pick up "aam aadmi" slogans...... for elections, instead of doing decisive leadership, which mass don't connect with. i realised this much before, the congress aadmi ad.. of saying " it is ordinary man's development that will push the country's growth" you know that is an amazing line.. at-least ext time we would have something on that lines to win.. also NREGA was huge success for congress, though it was left which got that on the CMP of reluctant congress.

5) Not making Lankan issue a national issue in coordination with AIADMK

Tamil Nadu, why AIADMK lost:-

1) DMDK.. vijayakanth split the votes,.. should have joined with aiadmk. there was apparent news that Vijaykanth had receieved money not to join AIADMK.

2) Jayalalitha made mistake in trust left too much, and when it was clearly known before itself that left is not going to do well in WBand kerala this time. TN people also hated, this PMK which was switching sides all the time... PMK has not won even one seat: that was actually quite surprising, one needs to actually study this, as anbumani did a great job as MP i think, except for his spate with AIIMS venugopal.

3) Apart from this i believe that DMK has done some goodals as usual,TN has really started partronising vote for cash scheme of DMK. this time the vote for cash has reached new hights is what i heard, as it has become wide spread.

Adding to everything i think election commission/people had done its duty in getting voter ID and checking their name on the list and there is huge number 2-3 crores who did not vote because of these reasons. out this 2-3 crores atleast you have about 1 crore people who genuinely wanted to vote and were denied their right: i am planning to take this issue seriously and together with biometric id system.

Beyond this it was money & media power which we could not fight against both in TN and at the national level. Lankan issue was not made a national issue.

I don't know even in english media was also showed favoritism towards congress, when some one from congress also did the same mistake as varun, he was not picked on the media like Varun gandhi, Ok i understand varun is a gandhi.. so, but why no body even got to know about the incident of when a congress guy in andra does a similar instigating speech. thanx it help varun i believe, but i am not sure it helped BJP in general

Indus valley civilization is finally accepted as literate!

2009-04-23T18:22:00.000-07:00

Asko Parpola, emeritus professor of indology at Helsinki University said he was optimistic the language could be deciphered.

"Language is one of the hallmarks of a literate civilization. If it's real writing, we have a chance to know their language and to get to know more about their religion and other aspects of their culture. We don't have any literature from the region that can be understood," Parpola said.

Scholars of the 19th century were only able to decipher Egyptian hieroglyphics after discovering the Rosetta Stone, which was inscribed with Egyptian scripts translated into ancient Greek. To decipher the Indus language, scholars may need a similar discovery.

For long there was debate going on about the how there be no literature in indus valley, if it was such a advanced and thriving with modern drainage, architecture etc. There has been quite a contention that vedas thrived in Indus valley civilization and that many of the Sanskrit literature were codified and written during this civilization. It was also contention of many that mahabaratha actually took place during this period and lord krishna was also born during this period and gave the whole world his teachings in song/shloka format called Bhagawath geetha.

http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/Health--Science/Indus-civilization-was-literate/articleshow/4441822.cms

"At this point, we can say that the Indus script seems to have statistical regularities that are in line with natural languages," said Rajesh Rao, a scientist at the University of Washington who led the study.

http://www.guardian.co.uk/science/2009/apr/23/indus-civilisation-language-symbols#

The Indus civilization flourished in isolation 4,500 years ago along the border of what is now eastern Pakistan, but almost no historical information exists about the people and their long-lost community.

I would go ahead and say that "Indus Valley civilization" or saraswathi civilization is where Aryans were originally from and not from mongolia. Late evidences prove this quite a bit; And history needs to be written properly. Previously it was written in vested interest of westerners wanting to put down India's pride and agreed during medival period there was exploitation and even today it persists quite a bit, so Aryan invasion theory suited by communist and socialist well to further their agendas and also it helped people many a Dravidian to come out of the oppression, but the time has come for truth to come out and known to everyone, that Aryans... existed in india only, and subsequent to drying up saraswathi river, Aryans moved away from the region and spread across the world.

This also explain the fact that all european languages having sanskrit base,

The Relevance of Dravidian movement in TN- A Relook

2008-12-16T06:49:00.001-08:00

This is just my assessment/opinion and It is based on my interaction with concerned people and analysis over period of time.

The Dravidian movement started with Periyars and then Anna. Brahmins were demonized for the political end by the Dravidian parties. Though all the upper castes together oppressed the lower castes only the Brahmins represented the face of the issue.There were so many well meaning Brahmins who worked/working tirelessly against caste in TN and all over India (with Gandhian ideals) and rendering yo men service in the society till date.

Periyar himself did not start anything until he was personally felt he did not have much decision making power in the congress. He also started the NO GOD movement only to stop people from fighting over caste and religious divisions a parallel can be drawn here from a recent book "nan purithu konda nabigal" by Marx it was revealed that Prophet Mohamed said "NO TO IDOL worship" to Unify people who were worshiping all types of idols back then and fighting over them bitterly.

"One religion Islam(surrender to god) one god whoes name is allah and one holy book and it is kuran." - A UNIFYING statement by Prophet Mohammad

Jihad-ism Interprets this as "there is no other religion other than Islam; No other god than allah and no other holy book than kuran" and also that " others are worshiping Devils"

This is true even for Christianity and i have met so many evangelist who are extremely stupid and forceful in their pitch to covert. In the conversions, It is also my understanding that since traditional society and Dravidian movement did do much about improving the conditions of the oppressed that the christian movement took charge and was able to covert so many people, give them the respect and economic help they needed. As Honest person wanting find truth in everything, i refrain form saying branding conversion as good/bad.

Any Structure/organization is prone to this kind mis-interpretation and mis-use and outlive the ideas with which it started with so is the caste system and so is Dravidian movement. Only unchanging rule in Human society i believe is Commonness of activities and even beliefs come second in Social grouping.

Caste is just natural grouping of people doing the same profession/activities. It will exist human's have human tendencies. Caste is basically profession based, with various regulation levels and importance based on has geographical flavours and connotations

--- These are groups which are working extremely well and these are actually the new castes of our society,

{There are teachers association ,There are Engineers association(further there are sub divisions mech, chemical,bio, civil, computers, etc),There are Barbar's associatio,There are transporters associatio,There is Lawyers association,There is Farmer's association,There is Agricultural labour's UNION,There are Babars federation,There is vettiyan's associations, There is shop owners groups, There are labour union, there is auto wala association,There washemen unions,there will be Iron men's union, There is CII, Asschom,FCAI Nasscom etc,There is leather manufacturer union,There is automobile makers associatio,There is aerospace component makers association, real estate associations, Construction industry associations etc}

etc etc and what ever profession/activities governed by rules and regulation for services from these societies and Entry standards.

If i were to talk like Avlin Tofler of Future shock i would say "In future i believe these things would come in as the nation-state concept will itself become obsolete as slowly people are starting to see Challenges in universal way and wholistic fashion" - Be Ready be part of universe than any nation.

The problem with Caste has been the rigidity with respect to Hereditary.Comes from underlying Assumption which is Inheritance is fair {Inheritance is fundamental unfairness of this world (taking even into constraint of as genetic inheritance}

I want to state here that I don't believe caste system was started with aim of exploitation. But over a period of time rigidity evolved in the systems because it was not easy to exchange information and knowledge in those days. Knowledge and security, business men become power centers and power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely. Hence wall were raised by the Rich, powerful and knowledgeable to Rule the rest of the crowd.

One can easily see that the same painful things of Hereditary starting to emerge in our new society. one can easily see this from DMK's family( DMK's family politic stinks more than Jayalitha's self aggrandizement and authoritative tone.) look at the film industry and film starts a overwhelming 80 % of them are sons and daughters of yesteryear cinema families. one can easily see Business men trying protecting business interest.

Dravidian movement has outlived its life in TN and has reached and point of sickness. The ill effects are as follows

IT Currently serves mostly the political ends DMK and ADMK especially in the past couple decades of in fact there. The Aryan invasion theory(which is in debate) was used extensively. I am not saying People from Fairer skin did not come from UP NORTH, the contention has been about they coming from Mongolia or the Areas around Harappan civilization around the Indus Valley. I would write a separate article on it to explain the current understanding, if it has any Sociology-political implications.

In TN the cooperative spirit and local governance was totally damaged by the influence of Dravida movement and politics: The Caste problem was over emphasized and used effectively to capture power and have now established really bad Political power structure in TN.

People are now slowly starting to realize this problem.Tamil Nadu is awakening and change is on the way

FACT ABOUT YOUR BRAIN

2008-12-03T21:10:00.000-08:00

Your brain is more flexible and multi-dimensional than any super computer. The level of compaction is un-phathomable.

Can learn 7 facts per second every second for the rest of your life and still have plenty of room left to learn more (that is equivalent to some tera bytes of info. So bad memory is not excuses; Bad training of your memory is!)
Your brain is not just in your head! According to renowned neuro-scientist Dr Candace Pert “Intelligence is located not only in the brain but a throughout the body; the traditional separation of mental process including emotions from the body I no longer valid”
Your brain is unique. Of the six billion people currently living and the more than ninety billion people who have ever lived there has never, unless you are an identical twin, been anyone quite like you. Your creative gifts, your finger prints, your expressions, your DNA, Your dreams, are unprecedented and unique
Is capable of making virtually unlimited number of synaptic connections (potential patterns of thought)

So wear Helmet! ( J/K) & protect your software (brain) with your hardware.

Intelligence

2008-12-02T02:48:00.000-08:00

Intelligence by popular knowledge is seen as something Uni-dimensional thing pertaining to logical & mathematical skills; All other area are thought to be arts or a gift from god.

In his book Frames of Mind Psychologist Howard Gardner introduces the “Theory of Multiple Intelligences” (now widely accepted). IT list at least seven measurable intelligences & a holistic approach to Intelligence is encouraged.

Logical Mathematical ( Stephen Hawking, Isaac Newton, Aryabatta, CV Raman)
Verbal Linguistic (William Shakesphere, Kannadasan, Tagore)
Spatial-Mechancial (Michealangelo, Fuller, Ravi Verma, MF Hussain)
Musical (Mozhart, Illayaraja)
Bodily-kinesthetic (Muhammad Ali, Bruce Lee)
Interpersonal Social (Nelson Mandela, Mahatma Gandhi, Martin Luther king)
Intra-Personal (Self-Knowledge) (Viktor Frankl, Too Many Indians here, you can count Gandhi here too)

This occurs in a lot of combinations and various degrees; it is also easy to find people having amazing intelligence in these areas, hence could be genius as indicated in the brackets. But as you can see a combination makes a better genius. Very rarely do we find people good in everything. One can apprise oneself in each of these areas.

But how do develop such a holistic approach? & improve our intelligence. None other than the greatest of Genius human civilization Da Vinci gives us some incites from his notebooks.

Dear Friends!

Hope you all would have read about GM ( GM expansion is not good morning but genetically modified) when this GM comes in then there won’t be Good morning! Anymore I believe.

We all know that corporate’s sole objective is to make money! (Though individuals working in those corporate may not be so) And that some corporate would do anything to make money! Monsanto and their likes belong to this category. Genetically modified seeds are being introduced by these companies to do just that.

- It is being sold as an idea to increase production! Reduce pesticide and Fertilizer! Anything to do with Gene modification is something we that shakes our very existence that depend on ecological balance.

- Once you use GM and you get stuck to it. Makes your farmer depend on the company every time for Seeds – they have built in license ( Like software license)

- The process or clearance for human consumptions is corrupted and hence the consequences are not clear!

This being the case, the way GM is entering into India is alarming! Thanx to the ignorant/corrupt politicians we have. What initially started out as non-human consumption thing and is now getting into directly in to our food. Some newspaper or the other you all would have read about BT cotton and how it caused the death of unfortunate cows which ate them.

Now they are asking me to eat that BT brinjal! I would be happy to get a spider gene that changes me into a spider-man! (It will as cool as spiderman). But what if I become rat or a donkey and die?

Direction for India - Based on Financial crisis Alert

2008-11-25T20:47:00.000-08:00

It so true that sometimes only a crisis gives us direction. when people in power/authority hallowed by their position and sycophants don't listen to pragmatic sense or are corrupt

Amercia has been loosing ground for the past 10-15 years because of their consumption patterns compared their production. They have been borrowing heavily from Chinese, Japanese and EU for the their high import consumption.

Helping their auto industry. Putting in huge money into rail transport sytems and alternative energy research and stimulate companies in that area could make American Leadership look good to the world. I don't think will sign the kotoyo protocal even by 2012, with this kind of crisis.

My points for the Indian government:- To use this opportunity

India also should do the many of similar things here, we are ahead in rail transport, but not so much in cities, our cities are crying for better public transport systems(MRTS Type) or like BART in the bay area or like the delhi under ground train system of Newyork and delhi.

India also should badly do investments and nurture Renewable energy heavily because we spend a lot in OIL Imports…(that more than 50% and depend on coal heavily for power generation - so much has been told about the negative here! So i stop from commenting). As a consumers buying one can buy electric cars and bikes to show your commitment changing from a oil depended economy. Atleast power generation can be more Renewable that riding cars on gasoline/diesel. Climate change also should be great motivator to do this.

Health care and education are greatest Job creator, Human empowerments and poverty alleviators. I think India can still double its spending here and work on Quality Public Service in both these area. Even in public sending of social project the levels of scrutiny are abysmal. which i think is the responsibility of civil society and

America and western nations have used their political power to make us by their High value-add at much higher costs(300% or more premium) rather than make them on our own.This also an area where we are loosing foreign exchange. If only we have some boldness and Determination we don't need to loose this foriegn exchange and high value jobs, keep high value talent from moving abroad. So, Divert Nuclear products, defense Research & Aerospace funding to companies, do not go out and buy stuff, may be we can buy some critical technology but not stuff made out of them. Develop technologies and scrutinize ROI in these sectors, bring in public private partnership. This is where the L&T, TATAs, Birla, Reliance and Mahindras, HAL, NAL other Subcontractors should be pushing for in this down-turn. This should be their focus more than retailing. I am not saying it is not important, but Retailing anybody can do! It does not require the biggies to do it nor are they high value add. This is more critical for Nation building & & sustainably doing it.

Thousands of teenage girls in Tamil Nadu, lured by textile mills with promises of good money, are exploited for labour and return empty-handed.

Please read to understand the issues involved.

Apart from the dying factories who have destroyed that ground water in tirupur: Environmental exploitation,(now the government and people have to pay get water into tirupur).

And Now The garments factories : social exploitation

For heaven sake can't we do business without these two?? is it so hard? with all the investments flowing into the country, i am sure credit is easy to raise. I really don't understand this level of greed, really want are going to do becoming, more and more rich??. At the least they should do what they should do as they have told in the pamphlet.

This interestingly funny cartoon, which i saw while searching, This makes me laugh every time i see it, but cry inside! great job keshav.

India can't follow the US model of development!
density of population being an indication of resource per person is much less, 1 :16
+ lag in many a thing, right from freedom.

when ever there is scale of over 10 times, the whole dynamics/way things operate change, this is a concept i borrowed from science, which i generalize here, but i strongly feel it makes lot of sense. when resource to person ratio of india to US is 1:16, come on people, we should think differently. Globalization was not really good for us in all sectors. At the least, Agri sector should never be globalized. There are many things happening in this sector with "under the table money", really fishy stuff, and many in a corporate craze to make money.

GOD save people dependent on agriculture.. wait a minute.. everyone is, all our food comes from there?? The bodies that produce our food is going hungry(malnurished)?

May the love we are sharing,spread its wings;
fly across the oceans and
bring new joy and peace to the world that is alive

" Loka samastha sukino bhavanthu" - this a beautiful song i learnt, as sing it my heart just elates & i feel the connected being i am!

what is love? though undefinable only felt/realisable.

for atheist, its the highest unexplained thing which helps
runs this heartless machiny world

For theist, he has god first, which represents everything he can't understand, love is something god showers more than any human being.

For an adwaithist like me;The oneness that universe divided itself into two to love itself. Love is the first thing born is most beautiful and creative undefinable thing representing the oneness,through the multitude of difference we see around.

In love we unite; atheist, theist, and adwaithist & for that matter anyone on earth can't just wish way love, its all pervading and its like gravitational force, it exists, you can deny and jump off building/cliff!. Similarly everyone is bound to fall/experience love, people who deny will fall in it! you are a fool to deny it.

Globalisation is so good u know

Oh is it! For whom sir? don't u corporate guys love this system! I asked on corporater here(he is one of those big shots who runs 4000 crore or more biz here) i happen to consult for the company that works for him as training, recruitment agency for his garments industry. "sir what if the environments gets screwed up, and your kids don't expirience the world as he has it now?" he said "why do i care my son(future gen..), I am sure nothing is going to happen in the next 50 years, i would be long gone by then and so let me have as much fun as possible." , then i ask "sir, ours chennai is coastal city so if the sea caves we would loose a huge amount of wealth we created" , he answers " so be it , i shall just move in to the land side more". He would moves around playing golf and doing yoga on with his gas guzzling SUV, thinking hard,sweet talking, like butterfly(sorry not human) ofcourse to make more & more money! Such an amazing energy to make more and more money!

Apparently i heard for every garments factory girl from the rural area that he recruits, he would make about Rs 50,000 profits easily and he will be paying her Rs 2,500. If this is good enough for u, read on..

Global economic growth is an extremely inefficient and environmentally dangerous way of achieving poverty reduction, observe Woodward and Simms. "Between 1990 and 2001, for every $100 worth of growth in the world's income per person, just $0.60 contributed to reducing poverty below the $1-a-day line, 73 per cent less even than in the lost decade for development, the 1980s." To reduce poverty by $1, we therefore would need "$166 additional global production and consumption, with all its associated environmental impacts which affect the poorest most.

These guys who are so irresponsible and Adharmic by perinially robing the poor and environments, want us to down size govts, privatize. Now they are just misinforming, cheating and living life, soon their vanity will grow to hights where they will rob the dignity we have! IF its Dignity or life. I choose Dignity!

Amount that companies who get tax breaks : Rs 65,000 crores
Amount that farmer subsidies(70 population depend on it): Rs 22,000 crores

and now they want more than that through SEZ

IMF & WORLD BANK

2007-06-22T22:39:00.000-07:00

This is Well said

http://www.globalexchange.org/campaigns/wbimf/facts.html

What are the IMF and World Bank?

The IMF and World Bank have been empowered by the governments which control it (led by the U.S., the U.K., Japan, Germany, France, Canada, and Italy -- the "Group of 7," which holds over 40% of the votes on their boards).....

So Why Do Countries Agree to SAPs?

SAPs are anti-democratic in more than one way. The institutions are correct in saying that the plans are formulated in part, and agreed to, by the governments. But the government officials involved are usually limited to the Finance Ministry and the Central Bank, usually among the most conservative, Northern-educated, and wealthy members of the government -- in other words, those most likely to agree with IMF economics and benefit from the policies. In many cases even they feel coerced into going along with IMF/World Bank demands. If they don't cooperate, the consequence can be a complete cut-off of credit because other lenders follow the lead of these institutions........ and largely controlled by the U.S. Treasury Department have been starving peoples around the world for two decades is a scandal. That people in the U.S. are barely aware of the fact is a disgrace.

Mistakes & Habit & goals

2007-06-15T00:06:00.000-07:00

As person who has made mistakes and had repeated those mistakes and person who has observed how this phenomenon evolves; here is experiential knowledge that i wanted share with the rest of the world, i wrote this as i came out of one of the biggest depression/confusions in life!

Mistakes are mistakes and you can't keep worrying about them;One can think thousand times to avoid a mistake.
But never dwell repenting on mistakes.Never ever go into loops of depression or disappointment. Immediately ask yourself
"what can I do right now to alleviate the situation "-That is the most important thing when you are in deep shit. Keep repeating this question.

Repeated mistakes can become bad habit. Which is very difficult to avoid worrying about. Worrying can never be the solution. Action at the face of the temptation to commit the mistake again(Importantly thing exactly the second time). Remember that making a mistake for the 2nd time is the most difficult(because u know it now). After that it is increasingly easy to make the mistake/increasingly difficult to avoid it.

Habit-always be careful what habit you are forming. Good and bad depends on the goal you have in life and it is only relative. Generally we are forced by community and media to think in a certain way, but believe me if you analyze thoroughly it invariably depends only on your goal in life.

For my goal good habits are good because they help you not to worry about trivial things in life and move ahead and worry about better things to worry about, ofcourse its all the chooses we make on what to worry about. again is better again for your goal in life (ie) that is what is that u want in life. so it become imperative to find that out!

note:- when u know it in your heart that its a mistake, increase your knowledge that u become aware of them don't try to force and u will find yourself slowly becoming better and better if not perfect

Hydrogen was always the fuel; if whole universe is running on H2
why can't earth run on hydrogen? infact everything acutally comes from H2. The star burn from H2.. H2 become He and then He become C so on and so forth; as we evolve we go to the source of all energy; its only natural that we have to go in for hydrogen but petrochemical and non renewable based H2 production is not the future but it can be good start as currently the H2 production,storage and transportation from other souces are limited by our knowledge and infrastructre; knowlege barrior is broken and it is being broken each and everyday; there is no reason why we should not believe in H2 as the savior of planet earth from greenhouse gases and climate change.

This world of Dreams and aspirations is many a times the most interesting part to know about a person... because it has a lot to do what a person really is and who he really wants to be... believe to know anyone very well or to become close to anyone the first step is to know what their dreams and aspirations are... because this can give the explanation for his/her actions. i also believe the whole universe is my close to me and hence writing this, hope reaches all the species of the world

I dream of realizing my true self..dissolve into nothingness or everythingness as told in the Upanishads and Vedas of the Hindu religion and Nirvana as told by Buddhist... I dream that I would become a perfect person with total control over my mind thoughts, words and deeds.

I see no poverty or illiteracy or even any kind of discrimination. I can only see people living in harmony with mother nature and do what they want to do without affecting other species or cause problems to others in the among the same species.

Then I say to myself "hold on.... before that... I have N problems... I don't even know if I have to solve./ I am really not sure will be able solve them in this life time but I always would like to solve them. I also would like to attack the problem at its roots rather than at its branches.. because as long as the root lives the poison tree will always be there and will keep growing.. other thing which we could do is stop the supply of nutrients to the roots.. but still I think if the root is there.. then survival instincts (by and far the greatest motivators in life) will easily find the resources and will plant would still grow.."

i think i am flying about 1000 miles above the earth still in the gravitational ; i can see only one kind of boundary that is the boundary between land and sea; All other lines have faded from my memory has faded what ever i studied at schools about India political map.. world political map totally faded and flashy way. i say to myself.." this peninsula used to be called India" . There was think actually very think line some white some dark brown,in north of this peninsula, the mighty mountains called Himalayas. I scratch my head saying the other side was name differently was it or not??... then my friend with flat face comes and rounded and pressed nose came and said that was... china.. i hit my head and say to myself ..ya ya... i woke up and my Chinese friend was actually waking me up.
