You pl. ask him to stop before stopping me!!

We are what we are! 

As a commoner ,when I walk on the streets and if I am caught for jay walking, by a quirk of fate, I shout at the cop  how dare he catches me without  catching  all the  other jay walkers in the world .So I command him to let me go as he has not stopped all the other jay walkers on the roads of my town. This is my attitude which I wear it in my sleeve.

If I drive fast and violate the speed rule and if the policeman has the temerity to stop me, I tell him the same  asking him why he has not caught all the other speedsters before catching me. This is endemic of Indians and one of the popular gangster movies of late 80s eulogised it with the hero yelling at the Cop at the top of his voice, "Stop him, I will then stop" to justify his violent methodologies.

Many of us , particularly youngsters fail to understand that this a reflection of defeatist mindset. Expecting that the whole world has to be rid of all wrongdoings before I am stopped from doing one,  is by any logic  unreasonable .Who will then say where to begin. If a student is caught copying then he will tell that all copycats must be stopped and arrested before he is caught.Thieves can use the logic to thrive.

This can be used for justifying all the misdeeds and terrorism in any form. Eye for an eye cycle can never end till everybody becomes blind. So this illogical and dangerous mindset should be nipped at the bud at any cost. Why I am saying this is ,recently one of our former PMs said that any govt. decision is taken by a group of honest men and the Minister simply puts his dummy signature and why all those honest gentlemen have not been arrested along with the Minister for the collective decision making. I agree that all those involved in decision making have to be arrested if malafide is established or quid pro quo is found with evidence and the long arm of govt. will have to get them also if they have connived at somebody's wrongdoing. But that does not mean Govt should not arrest anybody unless and until everybody involved are arrested. So going by this logic police should not arrest even if there is prima facie evidence  found by Courts against the person, unless or until evidence is found against all those involved in decision making. Strange logic of a highly learned man or is he unknowingly mocking at all Court judgments.

Why Indian Rupee is falling steeply against US dollar?

  The Indian Rupee recently crossed the 97 mark against the US Dollar, and it doesn't seem to be slowing down. If you've been tracking exchange rates or planning a trip abroad, you've probably felt the pinch. Everything from imported electronics to cooking oil is getting more expensive. And your money just doesn't stretch as far as it used to. This isn't a one-day blip. The rupee has been on a steady downward slide for months, and the reasons go deeper than most headlines suggest. It's a mix of what's happening inside India's economy and what's happening across the globe. Trade deficits, foreign investors pulling out money, rising oil prices, the US Federal Reserve keeping interest rates high — all of these are pulling the rupee in the wrong direction at the same time. In this post, we'll break down the key domestic pressures weighing on the rupee and the global forces making the US Dollar stronger. We'll also look at what the Reserve Bank ...

Hanuman and Ganesha!

  The two major loved deities of the Hindu pantheon are Hanuman and Ganesha. Let us dwell into the concepts and significance of these two dieties. Ganesha, the son of Parvati and Shiv, is worshipped first before starting any new job or work. Even if you want to start writing or reading , you invoke the blessings of Lord Ganesha who goes under various names- Ganapathi, Vigneshwar, Vinayak, and  Pillayar in Tamilnadu. Ganesha Gayathri, Pancharatnam are some of the important Ganesha mantras and hymns.

Ganesha after that with the elephant head is worshipped as the wisdom god by Hindus. Why only Hindus. He is worshipped in Indonesia where He finds Himself in their currency notes. He is considered the destroyer of evil in Japan. In Mexico, Ganesha idols were said to h...
