Of Padma awards and many other farces......!!!!

Our progressive secular governament has announced the padma awards recently. No wonder Romila Thaper and Mr. Habib are included in that list. There tow "eminent historians " helped our Nehruvian Stalinists in distorting the indian history. The deserve those awards.
But what surprised me is the selection of Ms. Gladys Staines. I am a bit confused. She is selected only because her family was burnt down by some "Hindu Fundamentalists". Everyone still condemns those deaths even though they dont talk about the kind of work Mr. Staines was invloved in.
Now, I am wondering how many women are there in India who lost their families in one or other such incidents. Does anyone remember Mr. Katyal....??? He was killed by Islamic terrorists in Kandhahar during that infamous Delhi Flight hijack. He was newly married and was bound to Nepal with his bride. He was killed by Islamic Terrorists supported by Taliban.
There are numerous Kasmiri Pandit women whose families were massacred during 1980s.
So, what is special about this Ms. Staines that she is selected for one of the prestigious awards of the land?
Pseudo-Secularists migh call me right-winged or fundamentslist...but I dont think anyone can justify the selection of this lady.

I have been thinking about these words for sometime...Secularist and Funadamentalist.
This is what Merriam -Websters says:

Main Entry: fun·da·men·tal·ism
:a movement or attitude stressing strict and literal adherence to a set of basic principles.

hmmm...I am really confused now..
So, any movement or thought that says it is the only correct way of living is "Fundamentalism".
Our Secularist shout and Scream that " Secularism" is the only correct way of living for humans.
Woww..what do we call them now???
Based on the above definition...they too are fundamentalists...I call them " Secular Fundamentalists".

Main Entry: sec·u·lar·ism
: indifference to or rejection or exclusion of religion and religious considerations.

So, do these so called Secularist qualify to be called Secaulrists???
If the govt at the center is Secular, why do we have a special penal code for some minorities?
Why there is a subsidy given to Haj piligrims and not given to Amarnath or kedarnath piligirms??
Why there is special status to J&K??
There are innumerable questions like this......

And people jump to conclusions without even thingking....Anyone who opposes these pseudo secular ideas is a right-winger....and Hindu Fundamentalist..as one of the visitors of my blog commented....

I dont know who it was....but he/she concluded me as a right-winger just by reading what I write here. Of course I dont mind being a right-winger because Secularism is what it is today....I prefer to be a right-winger...

Whoz this Benny Hinn??

When I heard about his "pray for India" meeting for the first time I thought it is another "suvartha swasthatha sabha" of Brother Paul. But later I found that this something much much more than that. I asked some of my friends about it and they provided me with some very informative links.
More than anything else one thing that struck me was why only the congress CMs are going there? Is there any diktat from "High command" ( should I say her highness command)? The center and state promised him full cooperation and assisance in logistics. Some obscene number of people are supposed to attend this for 3 days.

Some 2 weeks back Mr. Dharam Singh , CM of Karnataka asked people not to conduct the procession on Dattajayanthi because it might hurt the centiments of "minorities". But he obliged to offer full cooperation to the healer Benny Hinn. Isnt it going to hurt the sentiments of majority?? ohh...in India majority should not have any religious sentiments ..isnt India a secular country??

Some freak Kriplani argues that he is a miracle healer and a son of God. Gimme a break..doesnt god have any better thing to do?? How many sons does he have??
Okey..for time being let us agree that he is a son of God and a miracle healer.
Why doesnt he go to Rome and cure Pope of Parkinsons' disease?

I think Sonia Gandhi with her puppet PM and puppet CMs in the state is completely working hand in glove with the Christian Missonaries. Just some very good info in these links...

If you say anything against these so called Minorities..or for that matter if you support anything Hindu or say that you are a Hindu...you are a fundamentalist.....
but people like Benny Hinn and his junta who circulated pamphlets denigrating Hindus and their gods are "Evangelists". I really hate these Pseudo -progressive- secularists who preach Secularism to all the Hindus and forget it to preach it to the Semitic faiths.

I really liked these sentences by M.K.Gandhi .

It is impossible for me to reconcile myself to the idea of conversion after the style that goes on in India and elsewhere today. It is an error which is perhaps the greatest impediment to the world’s progress towards peace. ‘warring creeds’ is a blasphemous expression…why should a Christian want to convert a Hindu to Christianity or vice-versa? Why should he not be satisfied if the Hindu is a good or godly man? If the morale of a man is of no concern, the form of worship in a particular manner in a church, a mosque or a temple is an empty formula. It may even be a hindrance to individual or social growth, and insistence on a particular form or repetition of a credo may be a potent cause of violent quarrels leading to bloodshed and ending in utter disbelief in religion, i.e., God Himself.

This proselytisation will mean no peace in the world. Conversions are harmful to India. If I had the power and could legislate I should certainly stop all proselytising.

I cant resist from posting this piece from McCauley here:


I have travelled across the length and breadth of India and I have not seen one person who is a beggar, who is a thief. Such wealth I have seen in this country, such high moral values, people of such calibre, that I do not think we would ever conquer this country, unless we break the very backbone of this nation, which is her spiritual and cultural heritage, and , therefore, I propose that we replace her old and ancient education system, her culture, for if the Indians think that all that is foreign and English is good and greater than their own, they will lose their self-esteem, their native self-culture and they will become what we want them, a truly dominated nation’ (this letter can be seen at the British museum in London, UK).

I think it is time for a civil movement against all this Pseudo stuff.

JJ hits back...!!!

As expected, the TN govt has hit back with the junior seers' arrest after the SC's decision. But there seems to be no logic here.

The Seer was given bail by the SC on the ground that the TN govt doesnt have any substantial evidence to convict the Seer. Now, the TN govt claims that the junior seer knows all the details of the murder and arrested him for " conspiracy".

TN govt and TN police dont have any evidence against the seer and they arrested the Junior seer on the grounds that he "conspired" with the Seer. Isnt something missing here???

I could see only one motive behind all this.
The Seer cant enter into the Mutt and now the junior seer is arrested. The Mutt manager and accountant are already in jail. So, there is none who can adminster the Mutt in these hard times.
Isnt it conducive for TN govt and TN police to fabricate some evidence.

They claimed that if the Seer enters the Mutt he might influence the some witnesses in the Mutt. Now, what is the assurance that TN Govt and TN police dont influence the evidences as they have already tried?? Should they be allowed to enter the Mutt??

SIT has interrogated the junior seer some 2 weeks back and found nothing. So, do the TN police think SIT was not efficient??

T.N Govt
Since 2001, Sankararaman had been complaining about the seer's "relationship
with women" and on August 30, 2004, he gave the "last warning" to the Kanchi
Sankaracharya.

It was after receiving the "last warning" that the Sankaracharya called two
other accused and hatched the conspiracy to murder Sankararaman.

SC

Dealing with the prosecution claim, the Bench said: "There is absolutely no
evidence or material collected so far in investigation which may indicate
that the seer had ever shown any resentment against the deceased for having
made allegations against either his personal character or the discharge of
his duties as Sankaracharya of the Mutt."

Noting that the Sankaracharya had kept absolutely quiet for over three years
on the tirade of Sankararaman against him, the court said: "The petitioner
having kept quiet for over three years, it does not appeal to reason that he
suddenly decided to have Sankararaman murdered and entered into a conspiracy
for the said purposes."

Bailed out at last !!!

At last,it seems that justice rather than law is taking its course. The Kanchi Acharya is given bail today by the Supreme Court.

Pseudos....!!

I never understood this word completely. Many people think others are pseudos and only they theymselves are " genuine and original " opinion holders. If we look at many people who are around us today...,...it is really difficult to differentiate between the pseudo and genuine.

Pseudo Indians:
1. They are Indians for the name sake.
2. They follow all european or American trends.
3. They think Europe and US are superior to India in all the aspects and if a European does something then world should also do it.
4. They dont know much about themselves and their country but they know very well about the geography of US and train services in Europe. ( Isnt that useful in showing off to wannabe "Pseudos"???)
E.G. It is Natural for a person born in Barcelon to admire his team and hate the arch rivals " Real Madrid". But for a person who is born in Inida and brouoght up in India both Barca and RMFC are same. He can either like both of them or one of them. But there is no reason for an Indian to hare Barca because RMFC fans ( domestic) hate Barca. As a third party he can like both with different priorities.
But these Pseudo Indians ( err ..do I call them Pseudo Europeans??) either they like Barca or RMFC more than that they hate the rival more than they like their team. And proclaim that those who like both Barca and RMFC are "Pseudo Football Fans ". Because a white European like his team and hates his rivals...these people just follow him blindly.

I sometimes wonder people who talk more about something like " those people are cheap" or "pseudos" or bangalore girls' fav remark " he is a sidy guy"....all these make me think that..
People who find these faults in others have all these faults. Yes, it worries you more when you find your faults in others.

Training travails!!!!

I really dont understand why I hate these so called trainings. Everytime I convince myself that there would be something or the other to learn from these and go into the training hall with some enthusiasm. But all this evaporates within seconds. I look at people around me and I ask myself why the hell I am here. I see people around me busy in noting down some of the valuable points. I try to hear those difficult to practise theories and prepare a plan of execution. But my mind starts wandering.

I work with one of these reputed CMM Level 5 companies and many people here are well reputed for their talents. After spending more than 3 years in sales and marketing I really dont know whether I made a wise decision to enter this field.

Today I attended a training which lasted for more than 4 hrs and was conducted by person who has more than 15 yrs experience in Sales and Marketing. The session we underwent is most acclaimed world over and famous among sales circles. Infact it is the most effective Sales training as perceived across sales organisations.

I dont know whether there is something wrong with my grey cells or I am too intelligent for these trainings...I didnt understand the purpose of wasting some 4 hrs for this session. Added to that there are some characters who reminded me of my school days.

I think eveyone of us might have witnessed this. When we were in school there is a competition among kids to comeup with answers in a split second and to show off to others how sharp they are. Most of the times many kids pick up this habbit of repeating whatever the teacher says as though they are the approving authority. Sometimes the teacher would be solving a problem and he has to calculate 2 times of 10 and we always find some student helping the teacher with that multiplication.

I always hated such guys in school and never answered any question unless I was asked to answer.

People grow up but old habits die hard. I see some 30+aged guys and ladies repeating whatever the trainer says and nodding in approval as though they are the authority to certify the trainers abilities and the trainer was happy about it. I was just wondering what would be the state of the trainer if all the attendees were like me.

But on a serious note, I really wondered whether the trainer believes in whatever he preached. It is practically difficult to implement whatever we learn in these trainings but we need to attend these trainings to earn some browny points in the organisation.

But I see one real advantage of attending these traings
" you pick up jargon , you pick some weird words and tomorrow you can give gyaan to any relatively less experienced or someone who coloured her hair ( this is not gender discrimination ;-) ) . You can even become a trainer without knowing anything. That is the power of this jargon.
