TO HELL WITH THE WORLD CUP

   Yes, this is what the subject of the mail I got few minutes from my friend who happened to be an Indian. It was actually an article form the Indian daily newspaper "The Hindu".

   I cannot paste the whole content of the mail but I can brief you all about the content. As a nutshell "The Cricket World Cup celebrations are done at the expense of an average death of 46 farmers/day in India. The article didn't really pointed out only the World Cup winning celebrations but the pain of death the dangling farmers get behind the government which unequally treats the person with the Mercedes and the tractor. Yes, I got to know that the interest rate for the farmer to buy a tractor is 15 % which is more than double the rate of interest of a person who loans an amount from a government bank for buying a Mercedes (Well, no other example is required to show the inequality of the government policies)". If this is considered as a  discrimination based on capital, it is fair for our government to get penalized.

   The nub of the article is not emphasizing the avoidance of winning celebrations but to make people envisage when spending their money in the name of unnecessary parties, to enlighten the government which spends in gifting a flat and paying crores for the players.

   I am not writing this to start up a new revolution but I want people who run government to realize that we are being fed by indirectly killing a farmer or his whole family. The worst part of the death is getting deceased because of lack of food for the farmer himself.

   After all, all I can say is "let us celebrate the victory together but not at the extent of the death of another person who fed us by ploughing".

   At this point I remember a short phrase of a poem by the great poet Bharathiyar, "தனி ஒருவனுக்கு உணவு இல்லையெனில் ஜகத்தினை அழித்திடுவோம் (If there is no food for a single person, let us destroy the whole world)". This kind of revolution, I won't say it will happen, at the same time I won't say it will not happen.

Some Random Questions - 1

   Its been for long years, I think, write and discuss and finally left with no answers. Now I guess that I could get some more stuff on some of the questions I am left with. I just wanted to know what people think about these jotted questions.

1) Why people (including me) are being skimpy even when they can offer something which costs nothing to them..? Example: The kindness you can shower, the trust you can put on, the love you can give, the bliss you can make. Will these things affect when it surpasses the threshold considering the present world situation..?

2) Which you consider as a best governmental structure..? Democracy / Republic / Tyranny / Monarchy / Anarchy / Combination of above all. I guess the last choice would be a correct one, but left with no clues as how to implement. Any ideas..?

3) I consider pride as a negative feeling (at least neutral). It is also considered as a sin according to the holy books too. I am not proud of being a son (may be a good one) of good parents (of course, every one got good parents). I am not proud of being student with good grades (at least a decent grade). I am not proud of having been/ going to be a fervent employee (at least a bit fervent). I am not at all proud of being a citizen of a country with enormous resource and a good cultural heritage (I am a bit happy about it, not proud though). I am not all proud about being a person of one renowned religion (Not even a bit). I consider all these things happened as natural occurrences and for which I don't celebrate vanity. My question really is, am I lacking any phenomena so that I can be proud of something or am I going in the right way..?

4) Is 'hanging to death' a proper law enacted for the crime of  intentional murder..? If it is right, don't the accused person be given any further chance to get his mind right after a necessary period of correct penalization..? If it is not right, is there any assurance that even after imprisonment they won't commit such murders..? By putting these thoughts forward, I extend it to a step ahead resulting in asking "What could be the correct gauge to punish..?"

5) Should we follow any code of ethics that comes as a restriction to any kind of pleasure..? Or, can I live my life seeking for all the pleasure without limitations..? I don't want to be 'a man full of principles' or 'a pervert' either. (By the end of this reading many could say that one could be happy without questioning like this like a non-sense person :P But then, we know that there are at least some morals we should follow.)

   I know these kind of questions are full of boring stuffs, but then, I should not be the only person who is a  nonsense-thinking-maniac and I want to confuse all :P. Your kind suggestions with noble justifications are really appreciated. Thanks in advance..!

தெரியவில்லை..!

வசந்தம் கொண்டுவரும் வரையில் தென்றலுக்குத் தெரியவில்லை;
தேன் ஊற்றெடுக்கும் வரையில் மலருக்குத் தெரியவில்லை;
அமுதம் கடைந்தேடுக்கும் வரையில் கடல் மத்துக்கு தெரியவில்லை;
மெல்லிசை ஈட்டும் வரையில் வீணைக்குத் தெரியவில்லை;
ஓவியம் வரையும் வரையில் ஓவியனுக்குத் தெரியவில்லை;
அதே போன்று
ஏன் ! உன்னைப் பெற்றெடுக்கும் வரையில் எனக்கும் தெரியவில்லை;

எனக்குள் கருவாகி இருக்கும் என் உயிர் நீ தான் என்று.

"குழந்தையை அணைத்துக் கொண்டே ஆனந்தம் அடையும்
அம்மாவின் மனக்குரல்..!"

My religion

Many of the readers might get puzzled up as how a secular person started writing about his religion and proud to name the post as My Religion. Before explaining about my religion I just want to explain something about the existing system by which every religion works.

I see the holy books or so called myths written, also compare it with the activities of people belong to the same religion. Huff arises whenever I see people going beyond what they are preached (now I can't even paraphrase it as preached, rather I should say it as originally preached) and doing what they really wanted. Yes, people really do what they need and change the holy book in the way they need. It happens often in most of the religion and they consider themselves to be in-state of the present world. I don't know how the truth mentioned in those books changes by time. Always, sin is a sin, truth is a truth. Also, they call people as oblivion who are really following the truth.

I don't believe the stories mentioned in those books but I believe that it should had been written with a story line to deliver a truth and I understand the purpose.

I also privileged to mention the origin of some of the religions here, so I can justify my explanation. Most of the things might be known to all of us but I wanna make sure all understands it before I go further.

Hindu is a name given by Muhammadian's when they first invaded to India. Since, invaders found difficulty in pronouncing Sindhu, they modified it as Hindu and they called people who lived eastern side of the Indus valley as Hindus who followed the Vedas written. Thus a religion called Hinduism has been introduced. Christian is a name introduced for the person who follows the principles of Jesus Christ, the name itself justifies the meaning; nothing more than that. Islam is a name derived from the Arabic archaic word Salema which means peace, love and tranquility. I believe that not only these prevalent religions has their origins formed by the basic principles but also all the 4200 religions so far introduced.

So, every religion, no matter what it is, ultimately preaches a person the basic things; Truth and Love. People violate and vitiate for their own benefit.

Perhaps, only a person who follows it, can belong to a particular religion. If he follows, he's gonna belong to every religion as he is following the basic principles of every religion. If he fails to follow, he's not gonna belong to any religion. Obviously, by this condition, a person can belong to one of the following two categories; a person who follows the basic principles, a person who doesn't follows the basic principles. People can have their own names for the former and latter categories but these are the categories. But here the transfer between the categories are possible when they turn out from being one to another by their behavior.

By this time, most of you might get irritated and can say "shut up and come to the conclusion". So, lemme conclude with this "There is only one religion; the religion of humanity".

I think I just altered the way of saying and introduced the novel way of saying "There is no religion at all".

For all, sorry to make this post a lengthy one but its necessity to make it so.
For religious fanatics, it might not be the post to feed you something aligned with your thoughts and sorry for wasting your time.

My Theory of Relativity

   I was reading an article in Wiki. I got struck up by the line "Albert Einstein was declared as the greatest soul of 20th century pushing behind M.K.Gandhi and Franklin D.Roosevelt to the second and third place". And it was a result published by American Times.

   I always accept Albert Einstein as a finest exotic scientist. He introduces us the theory to relate which also brings Black Holes to light. I'm not here to bore you out by explaining again about 10th standard "Theory of Relativity" as most of us know what it is. Rather I put my thoughts here to compare people on the grounds of what really matters.

   I really wondering on which grounds the recognition award was given.
   The things rolled up on my mind is that could be based on intellect.

   After a long thought process, finally I arrived at a conclusion that it couldn't be based on intellect as if it was based on intellect then runners up might be Curie family or Planck or Bohr or many other else who laid the foundation for the recent scientific developments.

   Rather intuitively said, it might be because of race factor, they would have reserved first place for their people dragging behind Gandhiji to the second place. Here people might think that I'm nationally biased. If you do so, you are obviously wrong.

   Let me jot down the reason for my statement before I get berated.
One cannot judge the person on the grounds of intellect because intellect is a private possession which differs from person to person. The same things counts for grading with reference to money or status because of other private temporary possessions. Also its insane to do so.

   I would like to compare persons in the terms of so trivial things; Love and Peace. Instillation of love and peace in people's mind is an ever difficult thing. A man with a small undergarment with a single weapon of non-violence for instilling love and peace in minds of people is the ever greatest achievement.

   I think most of you might have got my theory and scale. But, for people who think that I'm simply doodling, my Theory of Relativity peace out with the statement "Person with love is always greater than a person with private possessions".

ஒற்றை ஆலமரமாய் . . !

தார்க்குவியல் போட்டு வெள்ள-அணை எடுப்பதுபோல் - தமிழ்மாந்தரை
தர்க்குரி ஆக்கிவிட்டு தம்மாந்தரை வெள்ளை நாடு கடத்தி விடுவர் ;

மாற்றான் தோட்டத்து மல்லிகைக்கும் மணமுன்டு என்பதை மறந்து
மாற்று மொழி கலப்படம் வேண்டா என்று போர்க்கொடி தூக்குவர் ;

வாழையடி வாழையாய் வந்த வம்சம் என்று மாருதட்டிக் கொண்டு - இப்பொழுது
வாழை மரத் தோட்டத்தில் ஒற்றை ஆலமரமாய் நிற்கின்றான் தமிழன்.

I’m missing it…!

Gimme love and care; Mom, I’m missing it;
Gimme scold and strength; Dad, I’m missing it;
Gimme silly fight and forgiveness; Sis, I’m missing it;
Gimme laugh and shoulder; Friends, I’m missing it;
Gimme hugs and kisses; Darling, I’m missing it;
Gimme culture and heritage; Ma-land, I’m missing it;
Missing all the best I had.
