Justice delayed is justice denied.

We preach god like anything. We share our everyday dejection and happiness with god, and always believe in karma and never try to iconoclast the image of god. But when it comes to giving a verdict on the existence of god, suddenly the theophobia all vanishes. And we get into a deep thought which turns us into a skeptic one.
  Currently it is happening with the Supreme Court in Ayodhya case. It is been 26 years, when the Babri Masjid got demolished. It was built by Mir Baqi on the order of the Mughal emperor Babar in 1528-29, styled by a Tuglaq architect. Contrary to this, Hindus view Ayodhya as a birth place of Lord Ram, and as per Hindus, there was a Ram temple in that place which was demolished by Babar to construct mosque. And whether it is HC or SC, both are abstaining from this and giving an equivocal statement. On one hand, it permitted Vishva Hindu Parishad (VHP) to perform Shilanyas (stone- laying ceremony) and on the other hand, it denied appeal to build Ram temple and told to maintain status quo. In 2010 Allahabad HC gave a verdict to distribute it into three regions first is temple, second is mosque and third is Nirmohi akhada. It was an ambivalent verdict, people weren't satisfied, so they dragged this case to SC. While political parties are exploiting this case for their agendas. They are playing with the sentiments of devotees. They are pretending to be in a great dilemma, but they have been ignoring this case since 18BC to avoid riots. In 1989, Mr. Rajeev Gandhi unlocked the doors of mosque for Hindus to establish Ram & Sita's sculpture. From these events, it is crystal clear that neither SC nor government is sticking to one side. Crores of people fix their eye on this case, these waiting eyes are gaining senescent, but SC have a cavalier attitude.
  Vanguards should have a chutzpah to stand by the side which is morally justified, without agitating about the outcomes. There is a threat of riots and destruction of communal harmony, but that doesn't mean that they should procrastinate the decision. If it is confirmed that violence will follow someday, then why to wait for tomorrow?  It is better to take the decision now, than to unnecessarily delaying it.

Merits and demerits of #metoo


This generation is technophile, and for that we always criticize social media. But we should also understand its positive impacts. It is the panacea to many hopeless cases.
Cases like sexual harassment. Many “hypothetical philosophists” gave a dogmatic  solutions to this problem, and won the hearts by sophistry. But little progress has been made.
  #metoo movement underwent a maverick idea. Let the molesters be ashamed. This movement is for severe harassment in workplaces.
  Now the question is, Who has originated it? 2006, A woman from America, named as Tarana Burke, who built up the courage and exposed her male colleague Harvey weilstorm on social media. Afterwards, in 2017, an American actress, Alyssa Milano took it to the next level. She persuaded women to speak out in public, then people became aware of it. And then it got widespread popularity.
  In 2017, a Malayalam actress was harassed by a group of men. In India, #metoo wind came from here. Well known people are getting unveiled. It is not restricted upto women only. Men are also posting the traumatized incidents happened in their lives. But people are exploiting it rather than using it wisely. Some artful people are misapplying it for their personal grudges. Some subterfuges are doing it to be in a limelight. And some imaginative people are sketching false stories (which does not even make sense). The motive of this movement is totally going into a wrong direction. Actions like negging and gaslighting, which didn't include in 2006s wave, people are including it now. In the eyes of law, it is punishable. I won't call it a crime, as it seems more of a psychological disorder. And it's the criticism of 2018s #metoo movement which has subdued its merits.
   Bollywood is all about faking things, and how could they leave this wonderful chance! So now they are remembering all kinds of abuses which they came across and putting themselves on a vulnerable and veracious side. I am a wrong person to comment on their character. But these are not the incidents which come under 2006s wave. Somewhere, we all have suffered from harassment in our lives but it is for SEVERE HARASSMENTS, and not for taking revenge or be in a limelight.

Be a sophisticated one and not a mulish one.

Somebody asked, what's the yardstick of calling a man literate? Is it a number of degrees he possess or how well does he speak English? When I was in Alma mater, I used to think. And with the pace of time, I realized the answer. Applications of education must be ubiquitous, then only a man will be tagged as literate.
About 2-3 weeks ago, IPCC's report stated surge in the global warming level. India is about 1.2° warm. This leads to seismic activities, which we came across in Kerala, recently in Andhra Pradesh and many more. People flood them with tea and sympathy. And turns a blind eye to the root cause of annihilation. Is it a quality of a wise and a literate man?
In previous year, supreme court put a temporary ban on the sales of firecrackers. This year, air is a farrago of deadly cocktail in Delhi. So now SC come up with the verdict of setting a time frame in which people can burst crackers and it must be "green firecrackers". For Diwali, time is 8-10 pm and for New year and Christmas, it is 11:45 pm-12:15 am. SC banned sales of crackers on e-commerce websites as well. And beware all the SHOs to make sure that no one could sell banned crackers in their respective areas, failing to which they will be held liable.
 Our detrimental activities lead to this punitive decision. If people had taken action by their own, the condition have not been deteriorated. SC don't want to restrict people, as it said, people have a right to livelihood. But on the other hand, people have a right to health too, and it's a duty of government to take care of its 1.3 billion citizens. And Government is burning candles at both ends but citizens should also comprehend their obligations towards the nation and environment. We all are bounded by traditions, but it doesn't restrain us to think beyond. It provides universally accepted logic behind performing rituals. It is flexible according to time, man exploits it for his gluttonous purposes. So why can't we go for an alternative way of celebration? SC will restrict you with legal obligations, SHO won't let you buy the banned crackers, vanguards will deliver wax rhapsodic speeches to persuade you. All have a same destination. After so many solicitations also, if you are still bursting crackers. It means you remain an illiterate and about 20 years of education has gone into vain. So be a sophisticated one and not a mulish one.

Insanity lead to mass demise.

We always blame railways for train accidents. We never criticize ourselves. But this time, we have to! In Amritsar, while people were watching Ravan combustion, they were so engrossed in it that they didn't even realize that the track on which they were standing is a railway track, and they ran over by a train. It claimed 61 lives, a big number! It was a faux paw. People like these are not compatible enough of stepping out, because at any time the accident can happen. It's a common sense, train will run on the track, and it won't stop. They wasn't a bovine, so why they acted like insane? What the hell they were doing there? No awareness campaign, no social campaign can indoctrinate them with this sense. I am sorry, my words are quite acerbic, but it's a veracity of Indians. And people around them, who were capturing the video of Ravan, they didn't even try once to aware them out of humanity, or they were also in a state of lucidity?  Whatever it is, it's a blunder on their side too. Was watching Ravan combustion more important than their lives? Now government will compensate ₹2 lakhs to every deceased's family. But we cannot calculate a person's worth for his parents, spouse and children. I wish that it didn't had happen.

Allahabad to Prayagraj



Prayagraj is not just a name, it's a religious history in itself. In Sanskrit, it is known as the place of sacrifice where Brahma (creator of universe as per the Hindu mythology) did sacrifice for the first time. In hindi, प्र means first + याग means yagya (a procedure to preach god). It is a place where Brahma did yagya for the first time. About 443 years ago, 3rd Mughal Emperor Akbar gave it a name  Illahabas and then 5th Mughal Emperor Shah jahan came into the power and he called it as Illahabad, Illah means god + abad means to set up. The place which is originated by god. After that, The British Emperor came and Illahabad became Allahabad in English language. But the devine beauty lies in it's authenticity. It gives a euphoric & a bona fide sound, so now it gets its originality back. 
  Earlier, Rig vedas & other holy texts named it as Prayagraj. There is a trifuence of Ganga, Yamuna and Saraswati, which shows a sacrality of this place. And In every 12 years, the Kumbh fest is also been organised. People finds an immortal necter in the river, So they just plung into the river and feel euphemistic. Ram, Lakshman, and Sita's exile also started form Prayagraj only, they offered prayer at that place. 
   Contrary to this, it's a Sisyphean task to rename places on the basis of historical background. Every place have its own share of history, that doesn't mean that we should rename each & every place, unless it is significant. As CM Yogi Adityanath has recently renamed many places like Mughalsarai to Deendayal Upadhyaya, Ali nagar to Arya nagar, Humayun nagar to Hanuman Nagar and etc. and many others are in controversies. The most important thing is development, which a Vanguard must focus on.

Rajasthan government is on the track to centralization

  Centralization as a system is inconsistent with a non-violent structure of society  - Mahatma Gandhi The more the concentration of power...
