The Palatial Gods

The great RabindraNath Tagore wrote :- He is there where the tiller is tilling the hard ground and where the pathmaker is breaking stones. He is with them in sun and in shower, and his garment is covered with dust. Put off thy holy mantle and even like him come down on the dusty soil! Here is the response of the new Gods:- O dear Gurudev, We do not agree with this. We are the new Gods, With millions of devotees around the world We live in palaces which they call ashrams We travel in chartered flight We sit on big thrones With people at our feet The ones, who control nations, stoop before us. The real blessed ones wait for our blessings The ones who are pasted on to the chairs of power, kneels before us And the for those who questions are impressed with our charity All of us have some master pieces Some produce gold, some are magicians and many are yoga experts Some has magical hugs many are great healers Some preaches sex and some practices it on followers People travel so far to...

Relativity : A Balloony Remix

This is the story of some balloons in a party hall. They were brought here for an event. After the event. Everybody left but did not take the balloons away. When they woke up next day morning, the balloons were surprised that hall is empty and everybody except them were taken back. Ah! not bad there is enough light and breeze percolating inside for them to float around. The biggest balloon of the group said.. "I think the stadium really looks attractive because of us. So they wanted us to be here forever". All balloons agreed to this statement and they all agreed him to be group leader. They respectfully called him Shoo (that is how they release air). They happily floated around as much as their strings allowed them. Days passed by. The balloons enjoyed the cool and tension free environment. They had sufficient breeze to float around and they happily competed among themselves and some managed to rise above one another, based on the judgment of Shoo. Months passed by, al...

Cricket, Stripping and a Publicity Interested Litigation (PIL)

Judges are complaining about PILs? Yes, our judiciary is overburdened by PIL. Going through some of the PILs, I wondered many times, what is the public interest in this? If I had some academic interest, would have tried to find the percentage of PILs that has got some public interest. Some people really misinterpret PILs are Publicity Interested Ligation or Politics Influenced Litigation. The recent one being unknown(atleast to me) model promising to strip for the Indian cricket team, if they win world cup. Helloo.. did someone take it seriously. If some news papers have some unfilled columns and if some masala new channels have some free airtime, they can advertise it. Let us analyze the public interest in this. General public opinion 1 - Who is this girl? Publicity stunt. Not interested. 2 - Good for cricketers. Not interested as I can see it live 3 -Cricketers opinion - We have better options ;) But, what about the self-proclaimed moral police of our society. Yes definitely t...

Time : A Public Interest Litigation

Your Honour, This is Time and the litigation is against 80% of human beings in this world. This litigation is not to punish anybody, but to gentle reminder for people who falsely accuse me for their mistakes. I am probably the only perfect but most accused person in this entire world. Inspite of all the complaints I move on serving every one equally. I allocate exactly the same amount for all living beings in the world. But 80% of the human beings regularly complain about me and the rest 20% are successful in life. Interestingly people who complain about me spend most of their time doing a task called 'nothing'. But they blame it on me for their laziness or lack of interest. I hear them complaining that they do not have time to exercise, read, walk, talk, play, laugh, love or anything that is important. Hmm.. what they dont know is that these small things they miss out decides their life. I have heard may people say that I am running fast. My Lord, this is false allegation. I ...

Entropy and Blogging?

Why Entropy for my blog title?? It is one of the few words I remember from my Physics classes. This one especially is from thermodynamics, which I was not a big fan then. But I liked this word as I remember vaguely that it is a degree of disorder. And me being a person who likes a bit of disorder, I guess it is a default (thanks to my software experience) attribute, I thought this would suit. Also the literal meaning of entropy is the uncertainty of an outcome. And for sure in my blogging the only thing I am sure is that I am not sure what is going to come out. The word ‘default’ reminds me of a friend in the days of our computer classes. We went to a hotel for breakfast and he asked the waiter to get us the 'default'. The waiter (obiviously not a s/w programmer, not sure.. it was during one of the recession period) requested him check the menu again. Btw, this friend of mine is definitely a blogging topic. For sure,   sometime later. Interestingly, when I ‘google’d about entro...
