The centre does not exist if the states are not consulted and collaborated with economic and political issues.

Ever since the Narendra Modi Government came to power  by giving false promises, lies and stoking the fire of the communal hatred, the country has been in a state of flames.Never in the history of the country the protest movements have assumed this much force under the regime of Modi than ever before.Vitually all the segments of the economy with the exception of a few corporate friends,have been hit stright and the sadistic vengeance shown against the people and the punitive action against those who speak for the affected people are unprecedented in the annals of the history.

The wholesale selling of government assets, vindictive and divisive citizenship amendment act, moral policing by the goondas and the massive ill-treatment of women via sexual harassment and violence unleashed in the name of love jihad and discriminatory treatment to states opposing the the misguided anti people policies of the authoritarian centre and so on clearly expose the insensitivity and irresponsibility of the RSS led Hinduthuva politics and policies.

The farmers from all over the country have been protesting against the recent farm laws which are inimical to both the producers and consumers.In essence the governance of Modi Government is fundamentally flawed right from tzhe launch of I'll conceived demonetization and hastly implemented GST with savage tariff.

We are now at a cross road where the economy is bleeding and the people are suffering and the corana triggered chaos compounding the crisis....

More than a month long  farmer's protest has exposed and showcased world wide how the ruler of  the country is arrogant, adamant, ignorant and shamelessly supporting the corporate interests to the neglect of the people and government undertakings...

Kerala government has passed legislation underlying the major flaws in the farm bill and called for the repeal of the laws at the earliest....
We have more to say on this in the next part and blast the corporate friendly Government and raise some fundamental issues.

Have you heard about the short film , 638  ways to kill Castro ?

Fiedal Castro is a legend in the literature on Revolutionary struggle. The standard criticism against him was that he was bulldozing democracy ,but  I must hasten to add  and answer his critics  that his government was people centric and hence people friendly; under his regime all the basic facilities inclusive of education and health care for the poor were  in  adequate measure ; he established more medical colleges  so much so that the  per capita availability of doctors  was  the lowest one and that Cuba was always ready to export doctors in case of  health emergency anywhere in the world ; and to his credit  no street was named after him nor was there any of his statue erected anywhere in Cuba.

 

The escalating open war between him and the US was well known. Russia  stood  by him and was ready to extend all possible help. Scared by the Russian shadow in her soil, the U S cancelled  the import of 70 lakh tones of sugar from Cuba and Castro retaliated by nationalizing the US assets worth $850 million.

 

The U S realized at one stage that killing of the Cuba’s economy and breaking the will of the nation was next to impossibility and that  what was imperative for the U S was to eliminate the leader  castro himself. All plausible / possible routes were explored to kill him and based on that material  a short film was taken later.

Having realized that he was a lover of Havana suruttu(cigarattte),a bomb was concealed into it. It did not click. At one stage more than thousand people were armed to kill him, but he escaped. Poison was mixed in his food and medicine, not to speak of spraying dangerous virus into his scuba diving suit.

Once his former lover, Marito Lorence  met him and told:”We will celebrate our union by tasting the ice cream.”He smelled the rat .

“Why do you take so much pain, my dear..you can very well shoot me straight and finish me, “said Castro handing over the gun to her ,with all smile.

The lady was  shell shocked and she fell at his feet and surrendered.

When his health deteriorated, the news leaked out that he would take complete rest..That was also ridiculed by the US president George Bush. He thanked the good God by saying that He will remove him from the world soon.

Castro had abundant sense of humor and retorted thus: I think Bush has forgotten that the very same God has saved me 638 times from his enemy…

Protest movement and people’s struggles everywhere are undermined and the voice of dissent is treated as anti national activity..The rulers intoxicated with the arrogance of power like drunken monkeys resort to all sorts of oppression to terrorize and intimidate the poor denying their rights and entitlement..

They should not be disheartened. He began with 82 soldiers to start with and told later that it was just sufficient to have 10 or 15 people to win the struggle. Eventually the incredible belief in oneself combined with good attitudes and actions would determine the outcome and victory…

We have a responsibility to influence and interest for a regime change

The essence of life is not to go into the meaning of the meaning of life but to make it more meaningful by living  each moment with more gratitude  and love in our heart and render common good to the society regardless of our state of affluence or conditions of poverty.

We are all here to love and respect the fellow human and also help establish the unity in th diversity of nature.This also means getting connected with others and showing concerns to alleviate the suffering of the humanity , especially those who have been

  trapped into poverty,and underemployment looking beyond our narrow selves.

we do have a moral responsibility to influence, interest and also entertain others and facilitate shared growth.That is we must become the catalysts of change.
It is not by accident we meet people and they are meant to cross our path to enrich the experiences of our life on earth and also teach the valuable lessons of life.
There is nothing like right or wrong, or good or bad in today's materialistic corrupt society as foul is fair and the fair is foul and hence it is futile and foolish to expect good conduct and strength of character from politicians or bankers or academicians and bureaucrats.The bad has driven the good out of circulation...

We will not remain complacent and be a mute spectators to the drama of cruelty and criminality of the blood suckers and parasites...we must become the agents of change.
History is replete with examples,where single individuals have wrought revolution in ideas.with patience,courage, covictions, confidence and extreme tolerence they have waged war against the autocratic and authoritian regimes.The impossible will become possible.

The tragedy of our times is that the good and honest , the brave and the intelligent are butchered and massacred and intimidated by the men of criminality and venality- the mad men in authority.

Being a witness to this brutality unleashed against the honest and sincere and good ,many are paralysed with fear to join the bandwagon for unseating the government which becomes anti people and corporate friendly..

We live in an imperfectly integrated global economy where the social media may not be able to unite all the people but the saddening fact is ,it is the only channel  to know what is going on around us, as the mainstream media and newspapers,owned by the corporates no longer echo the heartbeat of the commoners and the needs of the public.

We shall learn from our mistakes and failures and we continue to influence and interest others by whatever way we can.If our life is full and fully lived every moment ,constantly thinking about the society and its empowerment God will conspire and help us to come out of the mess.

Life is a journey and we shall travel like tourists with less luggage

We are more like tourists on this beautiful planet.Journeying is more important than getting worried about reaching a particular destination.Indeed there is no specific destination as such excepting the experience that the soul has acquired and bottled up for whatever incarnation we have been destined to be  .what is significant in life is just to travel and enjoy nature with smile on the face always..It would be better if there is less luggage of stress, hatred or jealousy .If the luggage bundle consists of more love and gratitude bottled up in the heart, the journey would be enjoyable.

In life's journey we have adventure and fun and also encounter many difficulties.sometimes we sulk and suffer and at other times we get elevated in spirits for no specific reason.Sometime devilish and degrading desires plunge us into filth and dirt and unless there's a divine intervention we can't escape from that evil.

In this life we have been assigned roles to play.The bitter truth is for the majority of the population in the world, life is nasty, ugly, brutish, terrifying and hugely intimidating.At that time everyone , the mostly affected and afflicted one raises the question:why me ?

Kindly rmember we are never alone while experiencing sorrows and suffering.Everyone has his or quoto of pain and also the fortunes and joy.The underlying crude reality of the drama of life is merely dictated and defined by the pleasure - pain calculus...more of pain and less pleasure and in a few cases at least some pain judiciously mixed in more pleasure.

There's no one to help  us except our will and composed mind to negotiate the stormy weather.The divine intervention is only the additional balance if one is lucky depending upon the karma .In times of the inevitable disaster we must become our worst critic about ourselves rather than blaming others for our lapses and failures..

With the daily experience of life we learn, grow, and evolve to the best of our abilities and the efforts put in ,given the opportunities and the challenges.We must gradually and confidently cultivate the habit of touching, feeling and seeing everything that are nobler and good, more elevating than Degrading.
Being in the perpetual process of evolution we must strive to march towards the next level of good and benevolence.while journeying this will be a long drawn out process and the transition towards a higher spritual realm which is nothing but loving the entire humanity and all the diversity of nature will take time.We need to change the so called challenging beliefs which are life killing and not life giving....
Even while traveling together and enjoying the company and be a part of a larger crowd we are alone in thoughts and be more sensible and responsible in what we say and what we do.But most of the time we are either unwilling or unable to decide what to do....
We may not be great in whatever we do; but we must try and get the best out of us by honest and decent means.Even if God does not will and can't help us we will atleast get the wages of labour as kural says...we will be pleasantly surprised by our efforts..

Good-bye 2020 for teaching us the lessons of life

2020, christened as à reference year and benchmark for long
To attain some goals or targets thoroughly in a mistaken fashion without doing the necessary homework 
Is on its final leg now,leaving behind bitter memories
And truckload of thoughts on the lessons of life
Speeding up the train of fear on death related horror.

The family of corana or any other virus and benign or malign bacteria
Is neither new or novel ,nor strange or special
The only difference is that with heightened valour and  enriched strength they assert their rights to live by invading the weak host bodies,given a chance...

Will they dare to penetrate into any strong immune system
And improved life style of human befriending nature
And not denying economic space to others meaning the 
Disadvantaged and other trillions of species enveloping the globe,but playing a larger role and having a louder voice
In maintaining harmony and constantly reshaping the destiny of the world for better?

When the humans have become greedy,mean, reckless, stupid in appropriating all the resources under the sun
By resorting to violence and terror in the name of religion
Race or skin colour,sex and drug and trivalizing love and ridicuilng it,the nature steps in to teach a lesson and 
Maintain balance by the re-formed and reinvented weapon of mass destruction called a semi lifeless virus capable
Of shaking the mighty and mad men in authority soaked in arrogance and vengeance.

The Result:
The train of fear has accelerated and not likely to halt
And the life has become more fragile and uncertain.

If crude,crass and gross opportunism of the fascist regime does not mend  its way
And the money making madness in education and health does not stop and 
Global geo-politics continue to distort the priorities
By making international politics to outsmart international economics
Corana kind of virus will play mischief and educate the mankind and make them humble.
My classroom assertive statement that recession and stagflation will be the norm in future and that 
John Maynard Keynes will not die that easily.....
Keynes and Marx have more to say about the dynamics of capitalism with all their opposing standpoint...


Good-bye 2020 and we welcome 2021 without any expectations or any trepidation in the hearts..
Hoping for the best is not folly
But not having concern for the fellow creatures is
Definitely foolhardy...
