BRAVE ARE FOOLISH IN THOUGHTS.

Story starts with a wise man in the picture.

I lack courage to ride a two-wheeler on the Highway.

My friends advised to have brevity to face the situation.

That stuck in my mind. What is bravity?

I am afraid of possible accident.

Some one may cross the road, and I may lose the balance.

Or some careless drivers may hit on my scooter.

On thinking deep, I felt myself sinking in coward ness.

So I decided to keep away from the heavy traffic.

My riding was confined only to village roads.

Story ends with the caricature of a foolish man.

One day I felt badly in need of a ride on the Highway.

In fact I was afraid, but need was the prime motto, the motivator.

I wisely thought on danger, accident and careless commuters crossing the road.

Oh; no, I cannot ride seeing the obstacles. I feared. I withdrew.

But, I was not prepared to walk; I wanted to reach the destination in time.

I felt myself sitting on the fence; what to do, what not to do?

At last I loved to become brave. I forced to become bold.

Have I to take a foolish decision. Yes…No…Yes…No…

Yes I liked to become foolish, ignoring the so-called wise insights.

The instigation invaded my decision on a critical point of time.

I gave priority to my necessity rather than my safety.

I drove, I rod the scooter through the Highway.

Let anything come. The foolish thought was getting reinforced.

Need factor overpowered my wise insights.

That eclipsed the matter on safety thoughts.

I reached the destination, nothing happened, thank God.

I felt myself proved as brave.

My friends also certified me as brave. They complemented.

Still I am confused, who is brave, a wise one or a foolish.

Thinking on probabilities would not let any one to remain brave. Right?

The conclusion is that ‘the braves are foolish in thoughts’.

TAKING  FOOLISH DECISIONS WITH OUT THINKING THE

FORTHCOMING IS THE CRITERIA OF A “BRAVE ONE”.

ADVERTISEMENT IDEA.

Brahmi is well known for its memory development, in Ayurveda.

The advertisement can be like this.

Feed your children with Brahmi Coffee.

SATELLITE AND SUICIDE

Coming to the point, the passage I wanted to write is about the Satellites, to be exact, the artificial satellites revolving around the earth. Yes, those are man made, for the pleasure and comfort of his life.

It is a matter of wonder that the satellites are governing the human life in the modern days. During the last one decade, man has grown to the level of God or Devil, to tame the universe as a whole. Many of the inventions made by the 17 th century scientists like Edison have now been surpassed by the growth of the swift development of communication system. The telecommunication system made the continents closer, the television signals made the world a village, reduced the length and breadth of the so believed vast globe. Nations have sent one after the other newer and newer satellites to the space; the outer orbit of the earth. Even for talking to a man adjacent to us, the sound signals have to travel all the way, to and fro the satellite, that too within fraction of a second; what a wonder. We neither need go out of home nor travel to anywhere; the telephone, Internet, e- mail, e-commerce, medical transcripency, web pages and video conferencing will do our works. All what happened in all nooks and corners of the world will reach to our mini screen with in no time, with full clarity and supporting descriptions. We can have banking, purchase any thing, see any one talking to us, and what not through the modern amenities. All the frontierial separations between nations have dissolved in the deluge of the electronic revolution. The enthusiastic ones, irrespective of their age and educational status have tried to swim across this current, yet others set aside and move away from the vicinity as if they feared the trend. Slowly they also had to involve, with out which the life became miserable. Could you not see mobile phones with illiterates and age-old octogenarians!

I believe, the entire development, and the raise of standard of living there to, is due to the influx of the modern amenities provided by the electronic era, thanks to satellites. No one boggles whether he could accommodate the cost of maintenance of a new facility; he rushes to own the piece. There is no instrument in the modern day devoid of recurring expense. Would you please stand still for a moment to think about the equipments of the last century, the bicycle and the sewing machine, the type writing machine or such other costly ones? A single initial investment plus the manual propulsion would make them yield output through out the lifetime. What about your electrical consuming instruments and fuel drinking equipments? How much cost are you paying as service charges to your communication amenities? Some times more than 1000 times than the initial cost of the hard ware! I shall not go in deep in to a subject, as every one knows and likes not to remember the bitter encumbrance. The expense incurred on this kind of facilities is the sole reason for the immature homicides prevalent in our place, beware of that.

Many times an inauspicious thought flashed in my mind. Suppose the savior satellites in the space, launched and installed by all the countries-probably that might have fully exhausted the ‘space’ in the space- if collided, caught fire and gutted all together, what would be the fate of the world. If the earth has a pre determined destiny to dooms, this would be the apt cause for that; isn’t it? There arises a question. Who will be the sufferer? Certainly, we all, or who else? But the impact- intensity, extensity, direction and duration- will be different from society to society and person to person depending up on the dependence on that. Some times I can live with out any communication system, with out any electronic mass media. How many of us, the rural layman can withstand this bare situation, let alone the advanced countries and its modern societies! If such an impracticable postulation occurred, the least sufferers would be the have-nots of the present day, as they have not enjoyed the boon of the electronic era to its full swing. Slowly the rate of suicide will pass on to the high-class society as they feel the situation highly intolerable to with stand.

I fear, if this imaginary havoc has struck in the crooked minds of the enemy nations, they could very well jam the satellites at least at the war time, so that any country can be isolated with out any external and internal relations. Imagine a life with out telephone, T V, Radio, Newspaper, e-mail, Fax, Internet, ATM etc and returning to the bygone days of Post Cards and Inland letters! How do you feel? I recollect the impact of the Gulf war and the scarcity of petroleum on us. Comparing to that the present context of thought has a few more fathom of depth.

GEOGRAPHY

WE FEEL PROUD ON THE KNOWLEDGE  IN GEOGRAPHY.

I KOW THE GEOGRAPHY OF THE WORLD.

I AM WELL WORSEDWITH THE GEOGRAPHY OF INDIA.

SURE, I KNOW THE GEOGRAPHY OF MY STATE.

I CAN DRAW THE MAPS OF WORLD, NATION AND THE STATE WITHOUT MUCH DIFFERENCE.

WHAT ABOUT MY KNOWLEDGE  ON MY OWN DISTRICT.

NOT UP TO MY KNOWLEDGE ON WORLD, NATION AND STATE.

LET ME COME DOWN TO MY TALUK, BLOCK , GRAMAPANCHAYATH  OR ITS WARD.

I BECOME ABSOLUTELY IGNORANT WHEN I COME DOWN TO THE LOWER GEOGRAPHY.

I CANNOT EVEN IDENTIFY THE MAPS OF MY WARD, PANCHAYATH OR EVEN MY TALUK.

I DARE GENERALISE THESE LIMITATIONS TO ATTRIBUTE ON MANY OTHERS TOO!

WHAT WE KNOW IS BIGGER THING ONLY.

HISTORIC PROFICIENCY

History is the narration of the facts of the past.

Who is authorized to scribe and narrate the historic evidences?

About the same incident, there would be a lot of documentary narrations.

All of them might have some variations.

Even there might be vast difference, or poles apart.

It is the duty of the historians to separate the goat from the sheep.

Prejudice is a factor, which affects the truth of the history.

There might be the colour of nation and religion as deciding factor to some one.

History is good for indoctrinating knowledge on the past of human culture,

origin and evolution of nations, the dynastic rule and the decline of the kingdoms.

To a good historian, he knows the succession of Mogul dynasty to Nehru family.

Baber, Humayun, Akber, Shajahan, and Aurangaseb: the succession is well known.

It is good he knows Motilal, Jawaharlal, Indira, Rajeev and Rahul.

Knowing five generations of popular ones in the history is quiet simple.

That is what we are teaching to the Primary school students.

But how many of us know five generation of our own succession?

It is a matter of wonder; even eminent historians know not more than three generations of his own lineage ,if not prepared for a quiz competition!

That is the flaw and flop of the historic proficiency of our civilized men.

WE KNOW THE NAMES OF ALL OTHER’S FORE FATHERS,

BUT DO NOT KNOW THE NAME OF OUR GRAND FATHER.

                                                                               

BEWARE OF STARS

MODERN MARKETING ECONOMICS KNOW OUR PSYCHOLOGYVERY WELL.ONE WOULD NOT PURCHASE ANY  COSTLYGOOD, IF IT IS NOT GIVEN ON INSTALMENT. FOR A PRETTY LONG TERM WE ARE READY TO PAWN OURSELVES FOR OWNING  A BIKE,CAR OR A FLAT

************************************************************************

IT IS ABOUT THE LATEST ECONOMIC THEORY THAT TEACHES US THE HIDDEN DANGERS IN PURCHASING MODERN AMENITIES.

THE INITIAL COST IS ONLY THE TIP OF THE ICE BERG.

THE RECURRING EXPENSES ARE THE VILLAIN BEHIND THE SCREEN. BEWARE OF COMFORT PROVIDERS IN THE MARKET.

PREVIOUSLY WE HAD BICYCLE, SEWING MACHINE  AND TYPEWRITING MACHINE AS COSTLY EQUIPMENTS.

THEY INCURRED INITIAL COMMITMENT, SOME TIMES ABOVE THE AFFORDABILITY OF THE AVERAGE CUSTOMERS OF THOSE DAYS.

BUT THEY HAD NOT CARVED ANYTHING MORE AFTER THEY OWN TO US. WHAT ABOUT THE NEW ONES, THE CABLE T.V, COMPUTER,

THE MOBILE PHONE, THE MOTOR CYCLE, CAR , FLAT….AND SO ON.

THEY DEMAND ONLY AN AFFORDABLE COST INITIALLY.

HOW MANY TIMES OF ITS INITIAL COST THEY ARE EATING WITH IN A PERIOD OF TEN YEARS, HAVE YOU EVER COMPUTED?

THAT IS THE ECONOMICS OF THE ADVANCED MARKETING TECHNIQUE.

CAN IT BE BLAIMED AS A HIDDEN AGENDA?

CRIME AND MEDICINE, A LOGICAL THOUGHT ON ITS RESEMBLANCE.

AILMENT AND CRIME!

WHAT A WONDERFUL CAPTION?

IT'S ONLY A COMPARISON.

DO YOU KNOW ALL THE AILMENTS HAVE MEDICINES IN THE NATURE?

LIKE WISE, ALL THE CRIMES HAVE RETAINED SOME EVIDENCES.

IT IS MADE BY THE GOD,ALMIGHTY

FOR THE WELL BEING OF THE MANKIND,

BOTH PHYSICALLY AS WELL AS SOCIALLY.

THE SKILL OF THE PHYSICIAN IS TO DIAGNOSE THE DISEASE

AND TO PRISCRIBE THE APT MEDICINE. 

THE DUTY OF THE INVESTIGATOR IS TO COMB OUT THE CRIMINAL EVIDENCE

 AND TO BOOK THE CULPRIT.

SO, IT IS A LOGICAL COMPARISON THAT

CRIMES HAVE PROXIMITY TO DISEASES AND

ILLNESSES ARE THE SIMILY TO CRIMINALS.

IT IS MY THEORY.

IT IS MY OWN CONCLUSION.

I CALL THIS PARLANCE, ‘CRIMEDICINE’.
