Save the Mist

 Its summer at its peak and literally venturing out in mid-noon on empty roads is like get fried on a heated pan. Usually this type of roasting was expected to be offset by shallow rain but even that is missing during this summer.

 A dry spell often seen as evaporated weather gets compared with state of difficulty and displeasure. A drizzle resulting in conversion of dryness to wetness brings a sense of satisfaction and invokes patience rekindling hope of sublime emotions.

Dryness and wetness not only related to external weather but also internal sustenance. As and when we move away from kindness and humanity you can expect a dry spell with the hearts literally punishing it for your vague thoughts. Problem with internal dryness when compared to external dryness is that there is no need to convince anyone for forgone external dryness as it is quite natural wherein it becomes duty of nature to bring in the wetness to quench the thirst of the dried.

 

But internal dryness is heavily engulfed by the thoughts which acted as convincing particulars to embrace and feel internally dried. And to bring back that wetness into the hearts is mountainous task. Its our duty to fight the dryness and save that mist within the heart irrespective of who and how many stand against it.

Work under supervision

When you try to differentiate between process followed by well established companies that believe in self governance and those lala companies that believe in micromanagement. You can sense the difference based on the mentality developed by the workers serving in the respective types.

The organization that believe in self governance don't spend much of the time on supervising the employees and believes in liberal environment wherein the employees are self sustained towards contributing to the goal of the organization. Real problem that arises is when a person used to lala type of company gets a chance to be a part of self governed company.

 That's exactly what is happening in the country, citizens who mostly consisted of labor class were used to lala type of governance who instead of adhering to constitutional liberty feared mostly of application of force by the police department bred within them since British era. 

Scenario has changed world wide with progress of nations that believed in self rule for citizens and hence their governments who are mere voice of the esteemed citizens rather than acting as lordships.

A community that mostly budges to constitution fearing the repercussions it may need to face by the law enforcement agencies rather than understanding its marvel. Once any learnt identifies this weakness, the very reason empowers him to use force as tool of administration. The people who are believers of self rule sees this as the authoritarian rule whereas the problem lies in its citizens who feel treatment meted out to them justified.

The digital forensics - Pegasus spyware

Digital forensics, often known as computer forensics, is the art of gathering, analyzing, and archiving electronic data so that it can be used as evidence in court. It entails using specialized techniques and equipment to investigate digital devices for evidence, such as laptops, smartphones, and other electronic storage devices.

You might have crossed the days wherein Pegasus spyware was reportedly found to have intruded onto the smart phones of influential activists to track there activities against the authoritarian governments. 

NSO Group claims that its Pegasus spyware is only used to “investigate terrorism and crime”  and “leaves no traces whatsoever”. A Forensic Methodology Report shows that neither of these statements are true. This report accompanies the release of the Pegasus Project, a collaborative investigation that involves more than 80 journalists from 17 media organizations in 10 countries coordinated by Forbidden Stories with technical support of Amnesty International’s Security Lab.

Amnesty has hosted the main aspects of research on its webpage with link https://www.amnesty.org/en/latest/research/2021/07/forensic-methodology-report-how-to-catch-nso-groups-pegasus/ 

It has mentioned key features of its research on Pegasus spyware under the headings a below:

1. Discovering Pegasus network injection attacks

2. Pegasus’ BridgeHead and other malicious processes appear

3. Pegasus processes following potential Apple Photos exploitation

4. An iMessage zero-click 0day used widely in 2019

5. Apple Music leveraged to deliver Pegasus in 2020

6. Megalodon: iMessage zero-click 0-days return in 2021

7. Incomplete attempts to hide evidence of compromise

8. Pegasus processes disguised as iOS system services

9. Unravelling the Pegasus attack infrastructure over the years

10. Mobile devices, security and auditability

11. With our Methodology, we release our tools and indicators

I am busy stitching my uniform

Last time I remember wherein my opinion was welcomed was regarding selection of tiles to a new house built by my younger brother. Apart from that most of my opinion be it regarding work culture, financial investment or educational training was mostly on a contradictory path when compared to general perception regarding the subject matter.

 

An opinion is a opinion, be it implemented or not by the responsible heads. You have to accept the fact this society is not based on meritorious opinion but hinged onto motorized mobility. If a scam is able to travel faster than the logic, rest be assured scam has the upper hand.

It will be an up-skilling effort to find basis of factors that decide the velocity of mobility but not worth the time as dynamics are far flung. Fakery is throttled, plagiarism is mainstreamed, pilferage is stabilized. Is it the end of game for those who escaped onslaught of muggers?

 

Mahatma Gandhi said that in matters of conscience, the law of the majority has no place. There is no one to stand behind you if you wish to stand behind the conscience. But peculiarity is there is no one to force you to stand behind the conscience as you are surrounded by the flag bearers of majority cause.

We were always a wicked

 I would always be wrong to say that we are embracing wickedness out of blue or our surrounding has gone delusion-ed when compared to yesterday. Deceit, deranged, dichotomous, you mention any cringe word from dictionary and you can find it in our connections. 

 


But none of this had a bearing on our perception w.r.t. recreational understanding. There was an unwritten understanding between the two extremities to not to cross each others path. And thus our younger generation were insulated from the parched thoughts to help them design their own future based on principles of universal brotherhood.

As there was consensus being formed amongst adamant fundamentalists on keeping the future away from the self centrist mentality, a personality that believes in dismembering consensus has made a headway to un-groom the holistic approach being infused within the senses of the projected.

 

Does this mean our strides in purported acceptance of mentored future gone awry? The answer doesn't lie in a straight forward  dynamism, but we can be assured that there has been a damage to credible holistic view. It is time to ascertain who were influenced by the polity based on integrity and who just coerced themselves citing crowd mania.

Abhivyakti kho jayo sarkari suvidhayen lo

 "yes gentlemen!! Were you able to unlock the password? You know its the top most priority. We have orders from the highest level and has to be done right now." This would be regular life of the investigative agencies. Locking and unlocking, blocking and unblocking, arresting and releasing. Investigating officials follow one of the puppetry execution of the duty without any room for expressing their personal point of view regarding the subject. They have to remember what their higher ups are interested in and forget what their higher ups are disinterested about.

 Membership mania is real. Wonder why when we are included as part of an organization and subsequent membership requires us to submit our uniqueness replacing it with so called motto of the organization. You may argue that our very own decision of subscribing to the membership is willingness to accept the motto of the organization.

But is it really a choice that we have, in deciding rationality behind subscribing to the motto? We are living in era wherein a simply residential certificate from local Councillor or Ward member is perceived as our concurrence to their party motto. 

 Service is governed by rules of service seekers satisfaction and hence government services are governed by citizen's satisfaction rather than peeking into the citizen profiling and hence varying the degree of service based on the profiled data.

ಒಂದು ಜನಾಂಗ ಒಂದು ಕನಸು

 ಕನಸು ನನಸು ಮಾಡುವುಧು ಒಂದು ಕಲೆ. ಕನಸು ನಮ್ಮ  ಅಂತಾರಾಳಧಾ ಪ್ರತಿಬಿಂಬವಾಗಿಧೆ. ಅವರವರ ಅನುಭವ, ಮನಸ್ಸಿನಲ್ಲಿ ಅಡಿಗಿಟ್ಟಿರುವ ಭವಿಷ್ಯತೀನ ಎಧುರುನೋಟ ಇವೆಲ್ಲಧರ ಒಂದು ಭಾಗವೇ ಕನಸ್ಸು. ಕನಸ್ಸಿಗು ಮನಸಿಗೂ ಒಂದು ಅವಿಭಾಜ್ಯ ಬಂಧನವು ಇರುತ್ತದೇ. 

ಕನಸು ವಿವಿಧ ರೀತಿಯ ಅನುಭವು ನೀಡುತದೇ, ಆ ಅನುಭವು ಸಿಹಿಯಾಗಿಯೂ ಇರಭವುಧು ಕಹಿಯನ್ನು ಉಂಟು ಮಾಡಬಾವುಧು. ಯಾಂತ್ರಿಕ ಜೀವನಧಲ್ಲಿ ನಾವು ಮಾನವರಾಗಿ ಉಳಿಧಿರುವುಧು ಈ ಒಂದು ಕನಸನಿಂಧಗಿಯೇ. ಆಧ್ರೆ ಇಂಧಿನ ಕೃತಕವಾಗಿ ಯೋಚಿಸುವ ನಾಯಕರು ನಿಮ್ಮ  ನಯ್ಸರ್ಗಿಕವಧ ಕನಸನ್ನು ಮೆಟ್ಟಿನಿಂತು ಅಧರ ಭಧಲು ಒಳ ಸಂಚಿನಿಂಧ ಕೂಡಿರುವ ತಮ್ಮ ಕೃತಕ ಆಧಾರಿತ ಕನಸನ್ನು ನಿಮ್ಮಲ್ಲಿ ಹೇರುವ ಧುಶ್ಚಟಕ್ಕೆ ತಮ್ಮನ್ನು ತೊಡಗಿಸಿಕೊಂಡಿಧಾರೆ.

ಪ್ರಕೃತಿ ನೀಡಿರುವ ಕನಸು ಕಾಣುವ ಅಭಿವ್ಯಕ್ತ ಸ್ವಾತಂತ್ರ್ಯವು ಹಲ್ಲೆಗೆ ಒಳ್ಳಪಟ್ಟಿದೇ. ಒಂದು ದೇಶ ಒಂದು ಧಾರ್ಮ, ಒಂದು ದೇಶ ಒಂದು ಪಂಗಡ, ಒಂದು ದೇಶ ಒಂದು ಭಾಷೆ ಅನ್ನುವ ಸಾಲಿನಲ್ಲಿ, ಒಂದು ಜನಾಂಗ ಒಂದು ಕನಸ್ಸು ಅನ್ನುವ ಹಾಧಿಯಲ್ಲಿ ನಮ್ಮ ಸಾರ್ಯತ್ವ ಸಾಗಿಧೆ. ಮೇಲ್ನೋಟಕ್ಕೆ ಇದು ನಮ್ಮ ಒಗ್ಗಟ್ಟನ್ನು ಸಾರಿದರು ನಮ್ಮ ಪ್ರತ್ಯಕಥನ್ನು ಪ್ರೀತುಸುವ ಪ್ರಪಂಚ ನೀತಿಯ ವಿರೋಧವಾಗಿ ರೂಪಿಸುವ ತಂತ್ರಗಾರಿಕೆಯನ್ನು ಸೂಚಿಸುತದೇ. 

ನಿಮ್ಮ ಕನ್ನಸ್ಸು ಕಾಣುವ ಪ್ರತ್ಯೇಕತೆಯನ್ನು ತ್ಯಾಗ ಮಾಡುವ ಚಿಂತನೆ ನಿಮ್ಮಲ್ಲಿ ರೂಪಗೊಂಡಿರಬಾಹುಧು ಆಧರೇ ಈ ಪ್ರತ್ಯೇಕಥೆಯ ನಿಜವಾಧ ಹಕ್ಕುಧರರು ನಿಮ್ಮ ಮುಂಧಿನ ಪೀಳಿಗಯೇ ಹೊರತು, ನಿಮ್ಮ ಕರ್ತವ್ಯ   ಈ ಪ್ರತ್ಯೇಕತೆಯನ್ನು ಕಾಪಾಡಿಕೊಂಡು ಅಧನ್ನು ಮುಂಧಿನ ಪೀಳಿಗಯಗೆ ಹಸ್ತಾಂತರಿಸುವುಧು ಅಷ್ಟೇ ಸೂಕ್ತ.
