Normal And Abnormal

There are many countries in the world where religious turmoil is a routine affair. Even it goes to the extent of eliminating people belonging to the minority religion in those countries. The prime reason for such activities to uphold the respective faith of the majority community is nothing but sheer ignorance of such communities in realising the Almighty God. The moment we realise the Supreme One we shall be filled with love. There will be nothing else like hatred, envy, competition or any such things shall be left in our heart. When we do not know God, we are ruled by the negative energy. All that comes into our minds shall be negative thoughts only; for doing destruction against our fellow beings. As per available reports   Christians alone were the maximum victims.  Around 5,000 Christians were killed per year world wide from 2023, 2024 and 2025 period. 90% of these killings took place in Saharan Africa alone. There is only one reason for these heinous act...

People  of a democratic country elect their representatives to various levels of governance. It can be Panchayat, assembly Parliament or any such bodies. As per democratic norms these elected ones represent the people and expected to serve the people. Above all once they are seated at the so called power center they are expected to see the people as one ruled by them. In our country, whether they rule the country or state the ruler is keen to see the beneficiary belong to their political party, at least in many cases. Over and above these, of late, we find that the rulers, to defend themselves, give false statements either orally or in writing. Further to these, when the need of defence become more and stronger they even do not hesitate to use filthy languages in public. Can all these be considered as disrespect to the people and therefore, warrants punishment as deemed fit. Then comes the normal question, who bells the cat. There is only one answer to this; the rat. No...

Should the government stop online gambling in India? The answer must be a straight 'yes'. Gambling in India is governed by the Gambling Act of 1867. Some states like Goa, Daman and Diu, Sikkim etc exempted from the Gambling Act. However online gambling is not covered by the above act. Whether it is online or offline,  gambling is gambling and the impact is negative and destructive. There are news reports about children committing suicides after losing money in online gambling. As per recent  media report about, highschool student, lost nover Rs25,000 in online gambling. Since He could not reveal this to his parents and face them, committed suicide. In another instance two or three young children from one family simultaneously committed suicide as a result not online gambling. There are many families gone to shambles after the heavy loss of money. Despite all these happening in our society our elected representatives do not take it to the parliament and ensure frami...

"Bad news travels at the speed of light; good news travels like molasses." - Tracy Morgan. If we look back and think a little we can find that our print media has started deviating from certain principles that they followed yesterday. The title news that appears on the front page today might have preferred to have put on the inner page in a small column a few years ago. The paper may say that they are placing each news according to the taste and need of the readers. If that is so today's newspaper cannot say that they are reforming the society as they were doing yesterday, rather they are reforming themselves according to the society. What is the society today and who rules it is not at all hidden from a news media. However some leading newspapers keep themselves away from some significant speeches by the top leaders of as if they have not come across those or there is nothing wrong for them in such speeches. Some others keep things up down for their sake. For...

Many people in the world think that money can bring happiness. About 60% Americans believe that money can certainly bring happiness. Their targets for this is $1.2 million (say about 10 crores rupees) We Indians must also be believing in this happiness theory. For that each one has his own goal. Let us now look it through another angle. A very rich man in his comfortable a.c. room is sweating and losing sleep in the night, whereas a poor agriculturist is enjoying a sound sleep in the night in the open veranda even without a fan. This shows that the money and happiness theory is not a standard one. Someone with any amount of money cannot attain happiness and some others with no much money with them remain happy most of the time. We may set a measurement for Happiness from 0 to 10. Those who indicate '0' has no happiness and those who indicate '10' is having total happiness. I don't think that there is anyone in the world who is having '0' right th...

Political parties come to the people before the election with plenty of promises. The long experienced Indians have heard such promises time and again. They know that these are never going to be fulfilled. The reason for this is something like this; the people are very hungry and as usual they want some chapati and onion slices to appease their hunger. But the experienced politicians offer them five star meals within an year. And surprisingly after five years these people continue to remain hungry even without the few chapats and onion slices. Since it is continued for many years, the people are experienced enough to assess the worth and compatibility of these promises. For instance during these election speeches we all here many promises and programs for uplifting the women of India. On the other hand what we are seeing around  is really unimaginable. According to Frontline magazine 4.45 lakhs crime against women were reported in India in 2022 as per NCRB report. Uttar...
