Nano! No, no

Finally Nano’s birth has taken place after a lot of complications and calamities. Tata’s dream to have a dwarf Nano is fulfilled after 6 years of waiting. Tata has had nightmares everyday for a year or so. Tata had fought a long battle to protect Nano. In her paternal home they wanted to terminate it in the beginning of the term. At last, Tata found a safe home for Nano between maternal and paternal homes. She survived there. Nano’s birth was announced to the entire nation through the media. A large crowd had gathered around to have a glimpse of her. People are waiting to adopt her. I am waiting to count the accidents she is going to cause. Adopters will sing a lullaby to her, mere ghar aayi ek nanhi pari… ek nanhi pari…

Almond eyed Nano look cute. Children will like it very much. It looks more like a toy car. Small is beautiful but big is useful. Size does matter. I wonder if a dwarf can do everything like normal people do. I fear Nano’s running on Mumbai roads, especially on high ways. If hit it will fly up into the air. Chances are Nano throwing tantrums at turnings and on roads with speed breakers. I do not have a car. I still like old Ambassador. It is very comfortable. Old is gold. I sense the difference between an old car and modern car when I travel. I feel comfortable when I travel by a taxi (Premire Padmini). High back seats in modern cars like Maruti obstruct the outside view. I find it difficult to get in and get out of it with my body movement problem. Machine’s function is more important than its beauty.

There are certain rules and limitations for creating things. Geometry is the basic of creations. There is a geometrical outline for everything that is on the earth. The things we create should be proportionate, be it house, building or furniture. Designers are out there to design anything and everything today. They design something blindly and out of rules for the sake of designing. All designer products are available in the market nowadays-designer furniture, designer ware, designer wear, designer sarees, and designer jewellery- there is long list of them. Some furniture they design unconventionally to look interior elegant are not comfortable. It is only to waste space. Interior decorators also over decorate flats and houses and make it congested. Observe the things that Nature has created. Creations should not go against Nature’s rules. I just expressed my apprehension. May be I am underestimating Nano. You may call me a pessimist. I am ready to admit it. I have never seen anybody’s optimism wins.

some quotes


Negative emotions are like a big barricade between relationships, particularly jealousy. Only if you are willing to break that barricade and spread a red carpet of positive emotions, will peace and harmony come into your life.

Anger is not valour; it is a weakness of the mind. Anger is like fire which is one of the five elements. The element, fire in our system gets activated when we get angry. Anger can kill oneself and others as well.

Jealousy is dangerous, it is a sickness.

If eyes are windows of the mind, lips are doors.

As long as your deeds are good you don’t have to fear criticism. Criticism will hurt you if you are guilty.

Your mistakes teach you to be good. If you don’t want to learn from your mistakes, it will teach you a lesson.

Obama Chasing Osama

US President Obama and Al-Qaeda Leader Osama’s face flash on the TV screen every now and then in news channels. Both are leaders. If Obama is a protector Osama is a destroyer. There is an opposite of everything-- Bad for good, nasty for nice, and so on. It is Nature’s rules. Although they are quite the opposite in words and deeds they have some similarities. Names are similar, only a letter is different. Similar in physique too- both are lean and tall. Obama is overprotected because he has enemies; Osama is also overprotected because he is an enemy of the world. Although Obama is basking in all luxuries and people’s love it is a kind of imprisonment being a president. Both are deprived of freedom that common have.

Obama is after Osama. It reminds me of Tom & Jerry cartoon. Obama is in Jerry’s character. Osama is the wicked cat, Tom. Jerry is chasing Tom. Bush was in the Jerry’s character before. He failed to trap him. Many innocent people lost their lives because of Tom and Jerry. The wild cat escaped stealthily in the woods. The cat survives changing places often. The cat cannot move around stealthily always. When it mewed Jerry heard and saw its hideout. Now he has climbed on to the mountains. Let him meditate there until the snow covers him or avalanche washes him away. Then the terrorists can worship him, their messiah like Hindus worship Lord Shiva. Will Obama succeed in trapping Osama? Or will it be never ending episodes like Ekta Kapoor’s serials? I don’t think Obama is so lucky. I am waiting impatiently. When we watch a film or serial we all would want the hero win. Triumph over evil is our aim.

Since he has good influence of the planets it is not easy to defeat him. That’s why he has supporters even though he is a destroyer. I don’t know what the lines of his palms say.He is like Ravana. Ravana had only 10 heads. He has countless heads. I mean his followers. If he is killed countless Osamas will pop up from his followers. If they want to eliminate him they have to eliminate his followers as well. Lord Rama had used Brahmastra as a last resort to kill Ravana. They have to make some special weapons to finish him.

Bush stepped down for good. Had he been elected for another term he would have faced death when he will come under the Saturn’s transit in 2010.

Marital Discord


Law allows only one spouse. But culture and tradition don’t prevent men from having more than one spouse. Men have freedom to do anything. They enjoy freedom after marriage. Some men cannot be happy with only one woman. They get bored easily and look for another one. That’s what Haryana deputy CM Chander Mohan did when he met a sexy girl. When lust took over him he forgot his duty and left the throne. When his marriage and conversion news spread across the nation he tried to console himself saying, even Kings had sacrificed the throne for love. Did he sacrifice his throne for love or lust? Love is for first wife, lust for the second one. When the second nuptial knot started suffocating him he did a somersault and landed into soup. Now he repents of separation from his wife. The first wife’s emotional trauma has the strength to pull him back to her.

When News channel showed their love saga I watched it with great interest. I did realize his love was not genuine. The girl seemed too much excited. But he showed an expression as if he had had a half-emptied bowel. He might have promised to marry her to yield to his desire. The poor woman couldn’t make out whether it was love or lust. Now she must have understood her folly. The couple has been playing a tug-of-war for 3 months. It is a lesson for other girls too. Girls should avoid friendship with a married man as possible as they can unless he is divorced legally.

TOI report says Chand-Fiza saga ends in SMS talaq. It doesn’t seem ended. A legal and religious battle is ahead to fight.

Another case of nuptial problem popped up just a few days ago. Unable to spend time with wife, TN engineer throws daughter into well—news headlines from TOI.
Niranjan Kumar, a software engineer and a gold medalist from BITS-Pilani threw his new born 4-day old baby girl into a well behind his house. He didn’t want a baby soon. The real reason is he doesn’t like children. The man must be day dreaming. When he had physical relation with his wife without the use of contraceptives he might have forgotten the fact that she will conceive. How can we change the Nature’s rules? Nature is not in our control. But we are in Nature’s control. When a man and woman marry the excitement of physical relation comes to their mind first, pregnancy and child birth comes later. Those who don’t want family better not to marry.

Furthermore, he is said to be under medication for depression. Anti-depressants will drain the brain’s efficiency and make it abnormal. Chances are a person under psychiatric treatment commit crime.

When fate waits at the door-step of your life your brain may work accordingly. When the 29 year old husband and 22 year old wife both came under Saturn’s transit this happened in their life. This is not the only case. I see such cases daily in the news. Marital problems are increasing day by day in both urban and rural society.

International Women's Day

International Women’s Day was celebrated just a few days ago on March 8. Indian ordinary citizens don’t believe in such Day Culture except some certain days such as Independence Day, Republic Day, Birthdays and Indian traditional festival days. So the women’s Day celebration will be a lack- luster one and it is a celebration only for the hi-profile people in India.

Women have these five choices to lead their life that I put forward--

1. To get married as early as possible, settle with married life, raise children, serve husband and never think of a career.

2. If you are qualified and efficient to take up a job, go ahead with it and spend the rest of the life as a spinster, never to think of marriage.

3. If you are not qualified or not efficient to do any job, yet you are not interested in marriage, live in your maternal home helping other members in household chores. It is possible if you are living in a joint family.

4. If you are physically and mentally strong and qualified you can have both, married life and job. You will be able to balance career and home. There are some lucky women who manage career and home very well. Their husbands must be supportive.

5. If you think you are incapable of doing any work, yet you are not interested in married life, choose a spiritual path, spend your life doing spiritual work and never think of material life.


All women are not lucky to have everything; all are not fit for marriage; all do not have brain for good education; all are not talented or efficient to do a job. Understand yourself; judge your capacity before you do anything. Behind every successful woman there is fortune and there must be an understanding man.

Now a time has come that all girls need to be well-educated. They want to have a better career and to be independent. Hence, they burn the midnight oil and get exausted to acquire a university degree and for the sake of a career. Three decades ago there was not such pressure on women. When I was in school only 2dozen students had passed in the board examination out of approximately 500 students in a batch. Hush! Hush! Better if I whispered. You can imagine the standard of education. And in my division only 9 students including me had passed. “In a kingdom with people without nose, a man with a half nose is a king.”-an age-old saying. I was proud of being one. Those who have failed didn’t commit suicide. Failure in school was not failure in life then. They had other choice. Girls would get married early. Boys can try again. Education was an individual matter, not for school’s credit. There was no pressure to obtain ranks. So there was no tension. Now girls are in a situation that they can cope with neither career nor married life.
Where is job for all educated persons either? To make 100% successful citizens is only a dream. When some are successful others will be a total failure. It is Nature’s rules.

Skin Colour and Racism

US President Obama’s hair turns grey after 44days in the White House—TOI News headlines.

Those who go into the White House should come out turning grey. It is the White House’s rules, not Nature’s. Since the entire US kingdom is situated on his head he will surely feel the weight. It is like snail carrying its shell on its back. PM Manmohan Singh lost all his hair in 5 year term. Even his eyebrows turned into a white streak. Stress eats into the hair roots and causes the hair fall. That’s why some people have hair loss. Sometimes it may be hereditary. Some people turn grey but they have a head full of hair. Their hair roots must be strong—only pigment changes—hair does not fall off. However, hair is a good indicator that shows your age, health and how much stress you suffer.

President Obama is always a target of criticism. Is it because of his skin colour or his destiny? He is known as black president. It is very pathetic that when a person becomes leader he is known by his skin, not his skill. When Nelson Mandela became president had he been called black president? Black leader for whites is a problem. Black people can have a white leader too for a change. When colours black and white mix we get a grey hue. That’s why Obama looks grey, not black.

Why do we have different skin colour? Mother Nature has given human beings the colour of the soil. It must be to camouflage with the soil when ancient human beings had to go about without clothes. If we hadn’t tried to evolve we all would have looked like tribes. Life style has an impact on skin colour. When life style change skin colour and skin texture also change accordingly. Modern life makes our skin colour lighter and texture delicate. If we live without clothes and shelter our skin will be like animals. Animals have got thick hide that can withstand sunlight.

Birds and animals have got different attractive colours. Their skin colour camouflage with the tress and flowers. Imagine, if we were coloured like animals and birds how would have we felt? If we learn about the colours that are in the universe there will be no place for racism in our hearts.

Pink Chaddi campaign


Pink chaddi campaign’s fire is not doused out yet. So is the ire of the Rama Sene. Smoke is still seen coming up. The Pink Chaddis will be useful for Rama Sene on the Day of Holi. They can put those chaddis on Holika and burn them. The pink chaddis will turn into black then into ashes. All the evils and sins will vanish into thin air. Ha, Ha, What a way to celebrate Holi!

The girls who tried to humiliate Rama Sene got annoyed when the humiliation backfired at them as SMSes. Why they become timid? If they cannot face further problems why did they join the campaign? If they say women are weaker sex, it is absolutely true. It is of no use trying to be modern. These girls will understand real life and men in their life only after marriage. It doesn’t mean I support Rama Sene’s atrocities towards girls. They have no right to beat up girls. It was a thoughtless action from them. But today’s generation should understand the moral value and value of relationship.

See the way the boys holding the chaddis, with only two fingers at the edge to display them. Why can’t they hold them close to their hearts and say we are with our girls if they really want to support them?

I still remember this past incident. It was long ago when two young electrian came to our house for wiring. We would hang our undergarments to dry on the clothesline in the bathroom. When the boys climbed on the stool they found the garments hanging above their heads obstructing their work. They told me to remove them. Instead I asked them to take them out and give them to me. They removed them from the clothesline as if they touching any disgusting creature, holding them with only two fingers at the edge and suddenly threw them at my face. My sister-in-law who was standing near me suppressed her laughter and run away from there to laugh aloud. Their action didn’t surprise me, I knew they would do it, instead I got annoyed.

Men have no problem when touching women or sleeping with them. But they cannot touch the ladies undergarments. Isn’t it strange? Is it a matter of dignity or disgust? May be both. Women at home have to wash male members’ dirty undergarments. Men cannot find out their socks, ties and clothes without the help of women at home (mother, sister or wife) when they want to go out. Men are so helpless like children. If men think they are physically strong why do they depend on women for everything? Male and female are physically different and hormones are different, I agree. Males have hard muscular system, whereas females have soft and plumb body. If women were hard bodied like men pregnancy and childbirth would be tough for them. Men don’t have to do it. That’s why Nature has made male and female different. Comparatively men are more aggressive and impulsive than women. Be them rural or urban there is no different in their attitudes. I know men and women cannot be equal in any way. But they should understand women’s problems and to be kind to women. That’s it.
