Reason behind daily blogs

The prime objective of consistently blogging is to develop a coherent and connected writing style. Over the period, I noticed I have been writing in desultory manner, abruptly jumping from one topic to another. There are times, When I myself fail to relate with whatever I have written due to breaks in the expression and sudden change of gear from one topic to other.

Even during blog writing, I tend to drift towards slang. Sometimes, I tend to use less word and in the pursuit of maintaining economy of words, I end up compromising quality of blog.

Therefore, here I am listing my 5 must do's while writing.
1. Write complete and connected sentences.
2. Discuss the background of any issue before moving into the details.
3. Focus on grammatical correctness of language.
4. Minimize the use of backspace in writing.
5. Structure the blog in your mind.

Now tomorrow onward, I would take special care of these things. Till then, Good night.

Learning of the day

My friend got into a minor accident. Soon after he was surrounded by mob of 200 people. The first question the mob asked was "What is your religion and caste". Well he qualified for "indifference" category and was spared at the moment. So mob weaned away. He took the concerned person to hospital. There once again he was mobbed. He dealt with situation very tactfully and shared his learning of the day.

Firstly, when you are mobbed, handle the situation with utmost care. Identify a leader for them and award him leadership. The mob effect will go away.
Secondly, power lies in network. Keep pinging your friends once in a while.
Thirdly, Body build matters.
And lastly, when you are surrounded by huge angry crowd. Always search for two kind of people. One is angry young man. Listen to them with patience and attention. Other is someone who could be influenced by you and is appropriate to be declared leader of mob by you.

He came out of situation unharmed. It could have been dangerous situation. God bless him and his learning.
Good Night

Rohit Vemula case

A lot has been written in media on the aggressive and emotional speech of Smt. Smriti Irani. Her speech has become talk of the town.

After little reluctance, I hesitantly searched for it on you tube and listened to some bits and pieces of it. In my opinion, the content of the speech is overshadowed by her drama and "Tulsi effect". She is unnecessarily rhetorical. May be a part of it is forced due to opposition's hullabaloo. But the way she presented the facts was brow raising.

I am not a big fan of her since her Tulsi days. I used to hate it when year after year, every time I visited home, i would find my whole family glued to television. They would be thrilled, shocked and awestruck with the new machinations in her family and new adventures of her to break even the situation.

What pained me most was her unnecessarily invocation of Durga in parliament. Just to score a political point, she is diving the country by giving importance to such poster. And in the process she forgot that she is making the tribals who pray Mahisasur, a possible victim of whatsApp and facebook trials. As a HRD minister, she ought to possess better understanding of India's culture.

A bigger menace prevailing in the society is of WhatsApp. As such WhatsApp is a useful tool for instant messaging and media sharing. But what troubles me is the kind of content which floats on these media networks. A message I read was advocating a repeat of Tianmann square massacre in JNU. Another message was calling for heads of Kanhaiya Kumar and Umar Khalid. Such kind of passionate thoughts without supporting evidence and sound reasoning will soon mark the death of democracy and pave path for rise of fascism. Here I am not supporting Kanhaiya and Umar. Anyway matter is sub-judice and there has been enough of media trial so its better to wait and watch the court proceedings. What I am concerned about is lack of understanding among we Indians about idea of India.

I finished reading Arundhati Roy's "The Algebra of infinite justice". It talks about various things and one among them is idea of India where she slowly strips down rightist mentality. Anyway that requires a separate book review blog.

now off to sleep. Goodnight.

Terrible mistake

Life is all about your priorities and what gives you happiness. Money is not happiness though it can help in getting most of the material things of life.

Great leaders have some common qualities. They are risk takers. They are eccentric and very stubborn people. And in there personal sphere, they are not democratic. Instead they are forceful. Their opinions are rigid and they are full of passion. And they go against familial wishes to make it big.

For example, parents of Bill Gates or Steve Jobs or Mark Zuckerberg would not have liked their wards dropping out of top league college.
Parents of Gandhi Ji, Nehru Ji, Amitabh Bachchan, or Atal Bihari would have never agreed with that path breaking step which proved turning point of their life.

And definitely, Modi or Kejriwal or Indira Gandhi all were stubborn and possess high ego.
Sometimes I wonder if it is essential to have high ego in attitude or not. Since childhood we are taught to be generous, large-hearted and develop egoless behaviour. Is it some premeditated plan of every parent to kill the leader in their child. To destroy his rebel instinct.

I am tired of mosquitoes. Even after the good night liquid standing on 24-7 guard, so many mosquitoes have infiltrated my territory. I should fix time for this activity so that everything else is kept aside and I can write with peace and focus.

Good Night.
