Deviyon aur Sajjano namaskar

Its my 100th post on my blog and I couldn't ask for something more. Though a lot can be written about my blog journey but less said is more. I would like to thank google for providing the platform for dissemination of my ideas through the virtual space. An interesting insight is that my post about Father of nation, Mahatma Gandhiji has garnered highest views amongst all the post till date. And there are some people trying to convince me that days of Gandhian is over.

 Apart from cherishing the track record, I want to share my point of view about latest buzz in fintech industry known as 'IOT sound box'. Yes, little piece of crap that you find in almost all kirana stores near you. I wonder why would someone like that his/her transaction between giver and taker should be broadcasted on a loud speaker. 

Interesting thing about sound box is that it is available on a monthly rent from fintech companies. Though it saves kirana store owner from hassles of scrolling the smart phone each time to verify payment but that should not be a point of contention to fall back w.r.t. sound box.

 

 

Its easy to figure out a problem but suggesting the alternative is not a child's play. Best alternative would a be paper/ digital audit trail, a technology used in EVM system. Some may argue that we receive receipts on payment through a app, but the primary point would be about acknowledging authority. I mean who is acknowledging your payments, it is definitely not from the receiver of the payments. You continue to be at the mercy of fintech platform providers.

What bothers me ???

What would you say If I mentioned your preparedness bothers me. Being prepared is something erudite. There is no two ways about it. Some prepare for next exam, some for next interview and some for the next promotion. Art of being prepared differs with individual. I mean some prepare by working on their skills and talent through continuous practice but many prepare themselves by obstructing fellow person who wish to be prepared too.

Being prepared is something futuristic in time domain. Best thing about being futuristic is that future has not yet been conclusive and it is open ended. We prepare ourselves with some facilities for the next big moment and starve ourselves for that little bit of perfect moment. Its not only an aspect of survival skills but also a matter of pride.

Preparation indicate how far a particular individual has put himself in the shoes of the time relatively. But all the hell breaks out when ones preparedness comes in the way of others point of interest. Classic example is hoarding. Its good to save some supplies to survive the winter but something fishy when you start stacking for the next to next winter.

 

Why would someone hoard is a catchy issue basically a function of fear and disbelief. Fear drives people to start behaving selfish. In tamil there is a saying "eriyera neruppala pudungara varaikkum labam". It simply says we prepare ourselves on someone else destruction.

Weaponization of diversity

God allowed us to group into different clans to push forward the concept of diversity. This makes it possible to dwell into multiple worlds which are as unique as every important chapter of a book. One missing page of book changes very purpose of the book as imagined by author (the creator).

 But what have we understood about it, the very special aspect of us that is to discriminate between the two sides of coin. If it were to be plainly explained in terms of book. One chapter would be in A4 size and another will be A3. One chapter background colour would be of saffron and another would be green. One chapter would be of 70 gsm and another would be 120 gsm.

Have we ever considered that what would be value of these variations if the contents of the book were simply hollow which fails to connect with the reader which is the actual purpose of the book as imagined by the author. Yeah, it is easy to accept we are basically tuned to view the variations rather than content. But the buck doesn't end there wherein we begin to fight for the variations rather the content.

 

We should feel blessed that our livelihood in full of diversified colour, whose very purpose to delight you rather than fight for upmanship to severe connectivity amongst them.

License to supremacy

Most of our well educated youths desire to shift to a well built up country as their dream destination. There may be many reasons including attractive re-numeration but one common reason is that their taxes are misused by the administration. And when you try to define what constitutes a well built up country, it goes without saying how powerful its passport is in the international scenario. A lot of factors are taken into account while concluding the effective status of its passport.

Passport is not like any other document  and thus it plays a major role in deciding how you are treated in international domain. It might be an abstract aspect when we speak about its relevancy as tool of gaining respect and its maintainability is surely as equal to country's national flag.

Menace of fake passport does play a vital role in affecting its outlook. Though it may look like a severe crime but what makes a person to fake a passport lies again in its power-fullness. Just as a steroid makes a fake athlete helps him feel artificially superior, people look at fake passport as a ticket to gain entry into so called powerful countries and get considered as a powerful part of setup to override their status of being illegal immigrants in the eyes of the law.

  As stated earlier youth desire to shift to powerful country. Their ultimate aim is to upgrade their passport from country of origin to country of dream destination. Classic case is that of actor Akshay kumar who ditched the Indian citizenship aka Indian passport for a Canadian passport. But after wide spread criticism he had to revert to Indian passport.

Number game

Vehicles, it may be two wheeler or four wheeler always become a part of the family as they play a vital role shifting its users from one place to another safely and secure. Many aspects are taken into account while buying the one from the manufacturers. Apart from its technical aspects lot of time is spent on its comfort and handling parameters which guides the owners in arriving at a selection.

Apart from its application point of view more often it turns out to be a status symbol and thus there are wide range of vehicles in the market catering to different segments in according to buying capacity of the customers. What is a car or a bike without a number plate? Though most of the buyers doesn't take much interest in it but there are few individuals who are very choosy about it.

Fancy number plate domain is very much a real when dealing with the number plates and so does the authority who provide the same. Most of the wealthy people take much care in selecting the fancy numbers are ready to part with that extra bucks for the number of their choice.

 

Apart from being a standing out of the crowd identity aspect, the other factor is numerology. When we talk about numerology people want their own lucky number to be present on the number plate which hey believe can have a more positive impact in their livelihood and with regard to standing out of the crowd it acts as a status symbol. 

FYKI deadline for compulsory HSRP name plate has been extended for 3 months by Karnataka government at the time of writing this blog.

Photosynthesis

 Color, color which color do you chose !!! We all would have played this game in our childhood. To be precise there is no restrictions to play it even in our adult age. Some brilliant minds have a theory that this universe in basically colorless and all this play of colors just happen in our mind.

 We have fraternized relationship with color. Not a single day passes in once lifetime where we have been able to de-recognize the factor of color. As much as color pleasures us there has also been incognito application of color in prepping of racial abuse.

One basic mode of appearance of color is how explicitly we use them in painting our household. That selective blend and its associated ambience create an non-plagiarized impact in displaying our inner-self, denoting our kind of connection with this world. Not to mention that an joyous event in our habitat is celebrated by painting our household with fresh colors.

 

As much as color plays a vital role in forwarding a particular perception, it also been vindicated is adding valor to several struggles of revolution around the world. That revolutionary struggle to rehash forgotten idea of humanity amongst our ruling class.

No shave November

 You got it right!!! You are about to review that pride of the man, his beard. It is a symbol of unmissable identity that man feels adult  once he develop a mustache and beard. Though most of the parents deny that luxury to their offspring but beyond that lies its style statement.

 Be it in cinemas or in real life scenarios, a man finds it to be attractive in nurturing their facial hair and hence believes he can look different in a group of people. Its not only limited to layman point of view but most of the intellectuals carry that belief system.

It do affect us the bystanders who were used to find a man in his beard that a clean shave has a different kind of impact on the outlook of that person in any given time. So what does it go behind the scene that makes a difference. Its very much an act of nature!! No one is more celebrated for its hair than a lion in the forest for its majestic hairdo.

 But why does it takes a flamboyant personality in influencing our gauge system. Its all wired since ages. In the process of budging to the appearance factor we are giving the stick to the beat. The problem doesn't lies in the self groomed but lies in the perceived.
