Rename, review, reclaim !!!!

Upon insistence of its ministers, government has setup a panel to study the misbehavior of Tippu Sultan and plans to mention it in the books for students. Yes, its the age of fact check. Great amount of time and energy is being invested in these fact checks. Till now people who were confined to paying fees have started questioning the liberty of the experts.


Science and mathematics cannot be tinkered so it is isn't part of propaganda. Literature and Social studies are being recooked to the taste of the present rulers. After they are tasted ok by propagandists the same will be fed to the children. The stories we heard aren't mere stories anymore, they have been upgraded as evidence for flourishing of social engineers.

When two people are in friendly relationship they would see their drawbacks in a completely different way. That is they would see it as wound to be healed and compensate each other. The same people when they turned foes would see the wound as an opportunity to inflict pain and expose the vulnerability.



But the same wound needs to be exposed and intimated to the doctor when it is beyond the capacity of the suffer to get it healed on his own effort. 

Digging the graves of the dead and highlighting their shady part for preventing the people to judge your authority can have unneeded repercussions.

NOT ALL SPICY FOODS ARE GOOD FOR HEALTH!!!

When someone says MY TAX MY RULES !!!!

People are under the impression that only income tax is the sole identifier for claiming rightful ownership to get tagged as "TAX PAYER".

When I refuel my vehicle I am paying tax when I register a property, when I buy medicine, when I dine at a hotel, When I watch a cinema in theaters. The only place where I don't pay tax is when I use public toilet, health and crematorium services.



I often hear people saying that they don't want their tax to used for incentivizing the poor. These are the people who will be ready to spend lakhs for building of statues, donate costly ornaments to decorate the idols, loot the people by collecting tax from them but hide it for themselves.

Tax isn't an investment to expect gains. It is a social responsibility of funding the social causes conceived by the proponents. We never know which part of our tax will be used to build that college or hospital. We never know who among the beneficiary would turn out into an APJ Abdul Kalam and secure that prominent place for our country. 



Lately our government is planning to honor highest tax payers by providing with benefits enjoyed by the diplomats. These initiatives are laughable as amount of tax payed doesn't translate into special affiliation to the collecting organization. Funding is just a part but the activity done using that defines its value.

Guesting blues

The days of moving around as an surprise guests are slowly diminishing. Just like taking appointment with doctor in hospital there is a need to take appointments with the well-wishers before meeting them in person to avoid unforeseen turn of events. Its a completely formal phenomenon.
Even after you are successful in gaining that prized appointment there is no guarantee that you will get that roused welcome matching with that of your effort. Thanks to instant connectivity technology there is nothing special to discuss in person nor any crave to meet the person as status is updated and DP is renewed regularly.

You can experience the real guesting blues when you visit the well wishers and at the same time well wishers is visited by a person who is bit more important than you. Till now the person who was in close conversation with you will simply shift the gears to make the extra important person feel special. Its a talent altogether which ordinary people find it difficult to practice. 


Yes, the person has every right to make his guest feel special but not at the cost of the other contact. Engaging the people in the way they feel dignified creates an environment of acknowledgement wherein the person would feel convinced that he did the right thing in approaching you.

Beware!!! We can change the narrative!!!

Have you ever been into a situation wherein you did something good but someone who gained your confidence threaten you of changing the entire narrative for a reason unknown to you? Ultimately you end up being blackmailed.

A simple accident has occurred involving two men. The person driving a two wheeler crashes on the bystander to avoid hitting a kid who run into the road by mistake. This fact is acknowledged by the person who was hit but unfortunately he faints and kid vanishes from the scene.


A group of men cross the location of accident and the biker tries to convince the incident to them. But one among the group who had a personal vendetta with the biker due to a previous brawl convinces the group that biker intentionally hit the bystander and converts a simple accident into a fight between two localities.

One among the group intelligently points out the need to shift the patient to the hospital and after the treatment people come to know that a kid was saved from the severe injury.




This is just a imaginary story. But most of the group brawls it may between two groups or between two  localities etc find its roots to a feeble reason which has no material or meaning. What fuels the violence is that feel of hatred which chooses vicious narrative to forward the grudge.

Changing the narrative for personal gains and vendetta is the most shameful thing to follow. However complex the web of misinformation is weaved a simple fact check with natural narrative as a barometer will expose the troublemaker for sure.
