#KisanDiwas

This clash symbolises plain 'conflict of interest', tainted with the hubris of a Moral Victory; When the ideal still lies in the notion of 'Prosperity For All'— visible from this Juncture, it's better to make the most out of this 'Pivot' of disoriented trailing trajectories.

#2020 : The Change

Learned to add more meaning to the words—thought out, spoke and wrote; 

My 'journal' is way more reflective of the self now, accommodating words worthy of being kept as a note. #2020

#Papa

The most relieving fact is the knowledge that someone understands, the satisfaction out of such empathy is greater gesture than the grand! ~praveen

#SUPERCBI

Immunity granted thus the security ensued; atoned will be the likes of CBI, when the cause of their rudeness is timely reviewed!

#SputnikV

The new Companion has come as a breath of fresh air, to this fact, we all must agree; the first one bedazzled the October sky of 57,and now comes the life saver—Sputnik V !
V for Victory!

Mahatma, we miss you... #2_10_20



#Farmers'_welfare: The state of ambivalence... #2_10_20
*Ever lovable Bapu, your 'Hind Swaraj' was an excellent text but unscrupulously banned by the then colonisers, I am sure you would have found today many more sympathisers..
*'Hind Swaraj' is a masterpiece, that projected your duty to remove our prejudice...
* In a dialogue that follows in there, where you outlined 'four themes' to structure your arguments, the situations today are ridiculing the naysayers now as they seem to have become all the more important...
Bapu, let's have a look at Bharat-2020:
* Never before the produce from the farms has ever been so large , yet never before the neglect has ever set in the psyche where from every other thing starts (unsustainable agri-practices); never before, for the good, 'the whole was meant to be greater than sum of its parts' and never before the need was felt to put all the minds together to mend the divisive hearts... You see Bapu, in this age of mechanisation, bulls now roam on the roads and  destroy crops as they don't have to pull anymore the redundant bullock carts...
* Obsolete trading arrangements so far didn't do much good, overburdened procurement system thus had to serve the rotten food; Government alone would have sorted the things out only if it could, the 'base of the economy'(Agriculture) ought to be simplified now where 'transparent & accountable system' will be collectively put...
*I have read somewhere, that, Reforms of the modern world can only be in progression, as the fundamentals are still laid down by the comfortable traditions; but, the government in general is directed by the contemporary obsessions where the room is less to rely on bold predictions...
*It's a common understanding today, that, without strong 'institutional arrangements' laissez-faire policy may harm lakhs of unorganised small-farmers who have not been empowered so far, & Corporates can't thrive without their profit motive unless the effectiveness of government-observation is not at its par!
*I fathom, that 'Free market' is projected as an ideal system, where as 'MSP' is declared just as the pessimists' insurance... still, a strong institutional arrangement will have to be there as a referee to check the unruly's arrogance...don't you think?
*Every commodity has a value chain & the cost effectiveness of a product in the end depends on how well the chain was streamlined, ailing APMC  has been symptomatic of a disease —left uncured by the dosage of transparency and accountability when there was time...
~Profiteering,  black marketing, commission khori, & other malpractices have brought for the indulged some real peaches & plums, whoever refutes to corroborate with me on this is a real blind+deaf+dumb!!!
*Agri-products experience uniform demand throughout the year, but the production of the same(mostly) is season bound; affected by the diversity in consumption preferences and resources available, I can only hope that this call for "One nation one market"—about the state subject—becomes in the end a familiar sound!
*Private Company's religion is reduced to just making profit and a farmers religion is still to cultivate it's land...dont you think, that, unless the established contracts are long lasting and reliable, the reassurance by the government machinery will fail to bring out a symbiotic blend!?
* The dissipated spirit of rural India today needs to be timely revived, with the greater bargaining power the 'option of survival' will transform into an 'opportunity to thrive'!
* Ironically, the motives to raise the profit margins is unable to serve in general the public interest well, such classic dilemma is a feature of a developing world today where mutually contradicting yet equally favourable choices in general make up the groundswell!
*Helpless government today, is pushing hard to rope in corporates to do business via their own commercial depots; I am afraid, that I can't describe you yet the veiled face of those 'New-gen Benevolent Despots'...
* Every small farmer wants to run away from the hardships brought in by the ownership of  land that has gone dysfunctional, & the cause of this insecurity is somewhat cultural and somewhat structural...
*Urbanisation has now turned out to be the growth engines, but the trailing rural India has been desperately asking to be granted the eponym of a 'dependent self-sustenance'...
*Bapu, we are now hoping to see the '#Smart_Cities' become accommodative of the overwhelming newness, & the flashy '#16_Point_plan' for agriculture receives the proper execution... We also hope to see this hybridisation to work out just fine with better services supporting the #new-economy, & the older-one(Agriculture) receives the pertinent Investment...
* Bapu, there used to be a functional Opposition besides the ruling party, but now it's being sweeped & cornered, & forced to remain invisible; the basic virtues of democracy are in danger now and so at stake are the other harmonising symbols...
*You were the real leader, Bapu—the leader of the mass... Our leaders now, are as good as the followers allow them to be and their present defiance is a reflection of the precedent set in the recent past; in today's society, unruliness & corruption is no longer a taboo & the isolated examples of honesty are now becoming the real outcaste...
*They are now resorting to the practice of even hyphenating the abbreviations, sneakily bringing ordinances to skip the discussion—the marrow of communication...
See Bapu, what has become of your Once argumentative Nation!
*They don't talk without creating raucous and indulging in altercations, and always seem concerned about their eye catching presentations...
*You must be knowing that such unruliness is not the rule but an aberration, but don't you think that ceaseless abrasion can be the cause of permanent corrosion!
*People like me can't even show concern out of the fear of condemnation... See Bapu, what has become of your once benevolent nation!
*You see, our fearfulness is nothing but the symptom of misinformation and our rage is the outcome of this fear of unknown, they don't care to allay our fears by way of attending to the concerns properly, & then they expect us to be influenced by whatever topical interest they might have ever shown...
see Bapu, this is the true state of your people once cared & protected like children of your own...
*We see our leaders with awe for the audacity they have, and we keep on wondering that how easily they get away with all that...
* But, we won't lose faith in humanity, as  once you rightly directed, not to ever lose faith in it; the ocean doesn't becomes dirty because of few dirty drops, so long as the substance is pure along with the pith...
Under your shadow we are unafraid of any threat—guided by your saying:" If you don't ask, you don't get"!
*We only hope in the end that our grievances  signify the degree of the experienced distress, and are to be taken in good stead, as you only once acclaimed,that "Agreement to disagree is often a good sign of progress".
Rest in peace, Mahatma.
नमन । चरण वंदन।

#Happy_Unemployment_Day2020

Howdy Modiji? Happy Birthday!

Development is pushed aside & democracy is experiencing its demise...
Youth is despised because the opportunities are being denied...
Pertinent questions are being piled up unreplied, only the likes of on 'mangoes' and your 'sleeping hours' are the ones that had qualified..
Living are hoping to survive & half-dead are dying to be revived...
Since with your 'Happy b'day' today, this #unemployment day coincides, I hereby take the liberty to complain, that by relying on your lies we have reached to this state of compromise...
Where bhakts are glorified & critiques are penalised, I am sorry that I can't die for such Bharat where my dreams can't be realised!
Anyways...
*I hope your flashy anti corruption actions are the cause of your sound sleep...anyways...
~" So much was said but not done , considering the dame & dime still involved in the acts of omission and commission; whatever happened to your promise when you said that you'd promptly deal with the menace of corruption!"
*I hope your fantastic "Notebandi" move remains to be the flash in the pan, copyright karwalijiye! What if resorting to such measures becomes a 'routine job' in future for others as well...anyways...
~"Rule of Law can protect us, so far as the tenets of a law are maintained & manifested out of the legal books; the covert establishments are off limits to it, however, no matter how filthy they may look...
The automated systems of disgrace and corruption are well established, that always succeed in taking its own course; no matter if the 'Notes' were older, Modiji, as now offers are made in 'Newer Notes'...
*I hope your concern for the Youth is still intact...anyways...
~but, the real aspirational youth is sick of your 'theatrics', especially when you make the mockery of that high profile stage;
you yourself be knowing that you are an overdoer sometimes—like now—when you sport the overgrown beard similar to an official sage...
~anyways...Government job seekers is the hopeful entitled class; & the prerogative is totally yours,  to sift the 'Gold' out of the pile of 'brass'...but, please don't kill the dreams of such wannabes, who have been in the making for the last 'six years', else be ready for the recall in the next session of judgement—led by the disgruntled revolutionaries and supported by more potent Volunteers!
~anyways, as we all know, that, "it is imperative to maintain the lucrativeness of a government job, and tapping the talent would be a challenge if such jobs remain devoid of attractive additional sops...but, be careful, that 'New-Breed' of that 'Separate-Breed' must not anymore be bred— who seek jobs like a wannabe servants with intent to serve like a boss!!!"
~some of us are aware, about, " the inability of many governments to tackle the foul play of many established systems and their conspicuous influence, you don't lose heart by the fact that populist governments generally have to buckle up under the forces of conformity that are experts at forging in obligatory allegiance...anyways...
*I hope your stint with Media is going well...
~When there are so many forces at play, the covert ones are generally the ones that astound; Media makes or breaks the opinions & Social-media then just comes in to confound!
~Media, however, must go traditional again, so should all your propaganda spreading modern platforms; in this game—if democracy intends to remain in the state of play—there is a need to newly revive the older one but fairer norms!
*I hope you find peace in your Fantasy-World where ALL IS still WELL... & I will confide in my Nightmares where nothing remains to tell...  Anyways...
~to wake up from a nightmare, we need to know that we are in one; The thrill of the chills could only be felt sensibly, when an unexpected cold darkness overbears the might of the Rising Sun!
~ You seem to me an overgrown child, Mr.Modi, & your impulsiveness is reflected by the reflexes you extend; I am obliged here to say it with due respect to the stature and position you hold, that it is always too obvious whenever you pretend...
(So, for God's sake, stop pretending that everything is fine, and in control!!!)
~ people chose you as the grandest leader so far & the 'Conscience keeper' of the Indian Race; I hope you succeed in keeping your promises in coming days, so you need not to hide—in the end—your Awe Inspiring face.
~ This happened to be the once in a lifetime opportunity , but you are provided with it 'twice'; the faith of the Indian mass was bestowed upon you again, so that the glimpse of hope could certainly be reprised...
~The gullible Indian mass is overwhelming here, who can identify with your carefree approach; I am just a 'puny Critique—an Optimist indeed, who hopes to get away with this friendly fiddling reproach.
Happy Birthday!
Many many happy and healthy returns of the day!!!
Not so many painful returns of the #unemployment_day!

Slum laden Railways...

 

#What_if, a new trend ripens and  'political irony' develops into a 'social paradox' ; what if, the political hands again remain tied untill the opportunistic society is properly detoxed...
#What_if, this trend of #slum relocation starts from Delhi and ends up into yet another unsolved issue; what if the safety concerns of Railways over shadows the realities of such slums that often let us fail to distinguish the use from misuse...

Tryst with JUMLABAAZI...

Tryst with JUMLABAAZI...
As per Mr. Rahul Gandhi, India is reeling under Modi-made disasters:

#At first he lamented the tragic "Notebandi" as a measure to help the Billionaires—a few; then he cemented the relation between the troublesome "GST" & the knee-jerk response as a "Lockdown" in the wake of a calamity that was new...

#Additionally came the pejorative "GDP report, in the opposition's support, but see the irony of our impaired democracy under this "powerful government" where no questions will be taken (no question hour) as the government is shamefully unable to retort...

#Opposition was clearly sweeped & cornered, fine, that was the public mandate, and the public had chosen their representatives to go to the parliament with a questionnaire and participate in the 'so called' debates; but in this era of 'one way communication' the definition of debates is relegated to just "bhakti", symbolising the 'hesitant Government'— confident only of fixating the new JUMLAS as a bait... 

#BIGGER PROMISE

'#Small_promises' to myself have so far held it together, & caused me to stand resolute in dusty gusts and hail storms alike; such a faith in myself used to be a 'flimsy cause' till the arrival of someone special to stand by my side...

Yet again...

Yet again...#UPSC_results_2019

#Yet_again, a topper emerges beating multiple lakhs in the line; yet again, a celebration of a lucky few hundred will outshine the remorse of the rest, who are being outshined...

#Yet_again, the celebration will be louder, louder even than the significance of the news; "coaching barons" will again reap this chance, to gather the attention of the "baffled goose"..

#Yet_again, Isolated examples of 'excellence personified ' will be shown and sold as scalable feats; coaching industry will again be thriving, for sure, by fooling the imperative irrevocable infallible defeats...

#Yet_again, many dreams will be woven because of the prestige and attention such exam commands; yet again, many will take up this challenge and put their youth to the misuse of such exam's demands...

#Yet_again, no one will talk about the loss and the reasons for such eventful(99.9%) failures;
yet again, all will be amazed by such amazing feats and the charm attached with such rare grandeur...

#Yet_again, the '10th-grade knowledge masters' will be trained to rise up above the bureaucratic scale; yet again, they will be taught the skills to subjugate the 'experts/specialist' and make them eternally hail...

The system of such exams  is fundamentally flawed—still pursuing the tenets as the 'British Raj' had claused...

There has to be a symphony amongst all competitive exams, this synergy and symbiosis will stop the Lions from turning against the Lambs...

This new era of our federation must guarantee that no Talent/Aspiration/Dream shall fail; a reform on an unprecedented scale will eventually but certainly bail out our future from this ominous trail...

Remember, the sportsmanship is above all...
And sportsmanship should only be celebrated when there is a match amongst equals, if that is so, then, I am sure I will be enjoying every year such amazing celebratory sequels....
CONGRATS to the winners!
All the Best to the Dreamers!!!

NOTE:
1.D.P.AGARWALS decision of bringing in CSAT was a massive blunder, now remaining as just a 'qualifier' ! What was he thinking???
I still wonder...
2. Even the UPSC-prelims qualifiers are approx '98 percentile' holders; atleast give them the 'Appreciation Certificate', if you can't give the grieving aspirants your shoulder...
3. Even the 'UPSC-Interviewees', who when fall short of making to the merit list, are thrown away in drain; atleast give them the security of some modest jobs, as they represent the alleged "cream of the 99.5% of our country's youthful aspirational brains"...
4. Excuse me for mutilating the pleasure of today's celebratory vibes by reminding you of one of the blunders of the year, "the decision to LOCK DOWN without thinking about the Labour issue!".
What cooks there guys??? I just wonder... Everything is crooked over there or what? Or they just go there to enjoy their slumber....

Beauty...

Beauty...
Nature shows, that the beauty is in the randomness, but, by us, the properties of aesthetics have been consciously defined; wilderness pleases me the most, and so does the Rivers—unwound and the mountains—untouched & unmined...

Someone has rightly once said, that " form must follow the function", but the fetish of this society is for the symmetry & proper assemblage; my arrogance, therefore, is bound not to stop, till my beautifying impulse reaches the decadence stage...

'Health' of something is the only defining property of beauty, in any living creature or a modest being; my craving for that perfect balance of 'mind & body', keeps me constantly keen...

Rather than attractive faces, beauty can also come in 'delectable fingers' or 'lustrous luscious feet', smoothness should rather be as savoury as the whiskey I prefer— raw or neat...(just kidding;))

If, quote:" life is an art of failing magnificently", then the moment to appreciate beauty, I steal, for the craving for an ordinary 'Sigh of Relief'; what else could I be doing with the delusional "perfect life", if it is so short or ridiculously brief...

If, "love isn't a fairy tale", then beauty— isn't  heavenly either,  rather un-magical and mundane— Unless preserved in "poesy", it seeps through the hour-glass—grain by grain...

Beauty sans grandiosity rather the "modesty is its natural sheen, Praveen will keep on admiring BEAUTY till Praveen becomes PRAVEEN!!!

A FRIEND INDEED...
I could count on him, to be there, in my roars and my sighs, in my lows and my highs...  I would get a glimpse of him in all my "Heysss" and  "Good-byes"...
He would Never be amazed or awestruck, by my silliness/wisdom he would never be surprised; being the witness of me performing the 'Phoenix-play'—my  "Goodness" or badness would just seem to him overpriced...
He might push me to do the Loot, and demand equal share of the spoil; he might go lazy as a slug and feast on the returns of my toil...
He might be "naive" as a dumb and at times  too "complex" to make me go numb;
he might be as "cheesy" as a gum, yet he would be there when the time demands and no one else would come...
He could be "nosy"  with the longest snoot, & as itchy as a bite of my new boots... he might be rude at times and still seem cute, my true friend  happens to be the strength of my roots!
"A friend in need is a friend indeed",
rather than a drag he would give me the speed...
He might go dumbstruck and listen— when no one else would pay the heed, that "Friend of My Imagination" is all I seek and all I need...Is all miss & alI I need...

A Nation can't be a "safe Country" without its protected borders, the "brave Sentinels" are repertoire of discipline & sacrifice, who serve above all the delivered orders!

#SUICIDE_NOTE

Suicide Note!

Suicide Note:
* Even though it's not visible but the reason is evident, behind every suicide attempt at least one killer is always existent!
* Pursuit of happiness has been a flawed venture, as there is nothing happy about the happiness I have found ; clear vision through the dispelled mist is as clear as the calling of that ultimate sound...
* When the rock bottom keeps on lowering it's depth and when the worst keeps on becoming worse; a man is bound to give up, when doubts fail to come to crust for dispelling  and obscurities refuse to give way to faith and trust...
* Every now and then a man of virtue experiences this state of melancholy and depression is just a clinical name of a new normal state of being; nothing comes in handy to save the lonely, when bonds of love and support, that once mattered, loses its soothing sheen...
* I should have died by now, had those attachments didn't play their role till now;
it's just a matter of time you see, as it is already being decided for where and how...
* The decision to do it by myself, according to me, is the most satisfying & solemn pledge; much better option to detour the evil-wishers who have waited long to push me through the edge...
* A Society degrades suicide, as such attempts are made while firmly holding the mirror to show it its true face; society prefers to follow the "Ostrich approach" (sticking head into the sand) so that the truth shall not be faced...
* Hope to live is fragile, that hinges upon some dreams, that in turn cling by a thin thread; the unsung suicide attempts should rather be celebrated and always be taken in  good stead...
* Role-playing of a pedestal has kept me imprisoned, and in a way pseudo alive; it's time to kill the former self with the spirit of revival, just to breathe & revive...

#Even though it's not visible but the reason is existent, behind every suicide at least one culprit is always evident!

#Such a bright future awaiting, so many opportunities might have awaited to knock on his door; the flight in those high skies is very pleasant, you see,  provided you don't lose the sight of the left behind distant floor!
#Howsoever dark the spot of a blight could have been, there is always a space where one's plight could be heard; a life without friends is a colourless mosaic, my friends, as true friends can act as shock absorbers, when in need, for the reasons howsoever absurd!
#you must have been pushed to the last mile, dear Sushant, & for the reason you have charted it, was only known to you; the pangs of a Broken heart is unfathomable, I know, and could be endured by only a gifted few...

P.S: I wish you had the cushion & support of family & friends in need... #RIPSushant

*The masquerading aroma from a kitchen sometimes is meant to compensate the stench of the putrid slaughter place; & the sight of that repugnant market place is meant to be forgotten when the 'meat' of such innocent animals is served in fancy lavishly plates...

*Our delusions in arrogance are costing us our sobriety & will cause our tag of being a ''Sensible Human" to go simply waste; this apparent Oasis may mislead us to a mirage in this fleeting realm of scent & taste...

#hypocrite_sagarika_ghosh

*A picture speaks a thousand words yet sometimes words are needed to shake one's conscience; speechless agony of this poor gullible #mother_elephant says it all, who dared to roam beyond her confines...

*She(#mother_elephant) had to pay for the trust we(human)had earned and that booby-trap #pineapple had been sufficient to make sure that the lesson was learned; yet, She (#mother_elephant) must have been thankful for the fate she met—saving her baby from such fateful future encounters with the rulers of this world... 

After all we are the ruler of this world!!!

Romance with the words

Governance Deficit

#GOVERNANCE_DEFICIT
1.All problems of our industries, in real time, could have been fixed; had at the right time we had vouched for the need to fix the "Governance Deficit"!
(Idea: Half the war is won with the identification of strength of enemy!)
2.When leaders don't have the right information to answer right questions at the right time, the questions become overwhelming overtime in the absence of a leader—not #sublime!
(Idea: Much more than a fancy MBA degree is required to lead that inspires awe. Don't you agree?)
3.The so called Leaders or such whimsical masters of slaves lack 'visibility' from multiple #vantage_points; the #pivots of mobility must act like a pivot where all spokes converge and join.
(Idea: Leading by example should be a constant exercise, and not a quarterly phenomenon— occuring every four months at board meetings.)

4. If they can't respect the 'tone and tenor' of #communication and collaboration anymore, then the gravity of situation will become graver, in no time, for sure!

(Idea: Devise mechanisms to come to a common platform to discuss the common concerns...no one can grow forever at the cost of other..."#Symbiosis" is all we need. )

5.The catch word for the #Modern_Governance from now on should be #Speedy_Effective_Visible_Communication; As," No one can whistle a symphony. It takes a whole orchestra to play it".-H.E.Luccock.
(Idea: Communication is all!)

Impact of Covid-19 on Museums!

Impact of Covid-19 on Museums: May-18-2020
Before arriving at the discussions about the challenges posed by Covid-19 or the 'Impact of Covid-19 on Museums', we need to reason why in itself this domain of "Art" became a theme of concern in the first place??? 

As we all know, that necessity to save something arises, only when one knows its umpteen worth! Right?

In this narration I have discussed, why "Art" is important, in the first place. And secondly where does 'Museums' fall in our efforts of preserving and conserving our culture, and how this eventful Covid-19 scenario pose a critical challenge towards Museums survival.

Art can change opinions, instill values and help translating experiences across space and time; Art is considered to be the repository of society's collective memory, expressed through—"Folk" & "Fine" (there are two forms of Art, Folk: tribal expression and Fine: contemporary expression.)

Art does have a utility ,for the threefold uses it beholds: One- fosters self expression & fulfillment, Two - creation, management & distribution employs many, Three - inspiring Children for the future by the stories of the past it has told.

Where as, the portrayal of the "story" of Bio-Cultural evolution & variation of humankind in time and space is done by 'Museums'.

A Museum acts as a "window" to look into the rich cultural heritage—bestowed upon the present—is no less significant. As it plays a crucial role in preserving the local culture with careful documentation & artifact preservation, so that a culture can be recorded & remembered regardless of its future.

Accordingly, the 'Museum Directorate of India' accommodated three main Sections under its ambit, namely: Art, Archaeology & Anthropology. And within this parent framework, Eight coordinating 'service units' are functional such as— Preservation, Publication, Presentation, Modelling, Education, Library, and Security. Which is in itself depicts the plethora of task with planning  that has been put in so far to make it reach to current level.

But, unfortunately, in this unprecedented event of "Covid-19 pandemic", world over nearly 60,000  Museums are shuttered down. Such a Novel-crisis has presented a tough challenge before the authorities with regard to Protection of invaluable antiquities, Financial issues, Public engagement and last but not the least Safety of Staff.
Amongst all sorts of institutions, 'GLAM' institutions are most badly hit! GLAM: "Galleries, Libraries, Archives and Museums", and refers to cultural institutions with a mission to provide access to knowledge. GLAM collect and maintain cultural heritage materials in the 'public interest'. As collecting institutions, GLAM preserve and make accessible primary sources valuable for researchers, apart from catering to other educational and aesthetic objectives.

In India, the earliest necessity to house the objects of 'antiquarian remains' dates back to late 1796 CE when the Asiatic Society of Bengal felt the need to house the enormous collection of archaeological, ethnological, geological, zoological pursuits. However, the first museum by them was started in 1814. The nucleus of this Asiatic Society Museum later provided the Indian Museum, Calcutta.

This long period of more than 200 years must have demanded a humongous amount of human efforts (physical, mental and financial) behind collection, storage, preservation, maintenance etc.,of antiques and artefacts of historical significance.

The inception of this idea of scientific examination and collection of artefacts of cultural significant is credited to the first Director-General of 'Archaeological Survey of India', Alexander Cunningham. 

And the idea of "Achaeological Site Museums" was further initiated by the then Director-General Sir John Marshall who conceptualised the establishment of 'ASM' under the 'ASI' in 1905 to display excavated antiquities in the close vicinity of their provenance to empower visitors with comprehensive vision of the site, its context and treasures so that the site as well as the artefacts can be evaluated holistically.

The concept of site museums is well elucidated by Hargreaves, one of the former Director Generals of ASI – ‘it has been the policy of the Government of India to keep the small and movable antiquities, recovered from the ancient sites, in close association with the remains to which they belong, so that they may be studied amid their natural surroundings and not lose focus by being transported’. A separate Museums Branch in ASI was created in 1946 by Sir Mortimer Wheeler.

.After the independence, eventually, the natural momentum was automatically gained by such virtuous exercise of collection, storage and display such totems of cultural significance , and then what!?
There was this spurt in the growth of such site museums in ASI.
At present, there are nearly fifty or so 'Archaeological museums" spreading over the length and breadth of India.

India also boasts of eighteen (18) Tribal Research and Training Institutes which run fourteen (14) "Ethnographic" Museums with a combined collection of nearly 30,000 artefacts such as paintings, ornaments, costumes, hunting and agricultural implements, pottery, toys and religious objects; with each museum having collected artefacts from its own area of activity. Viewed collectively, these artefacts present a unique picture of the diversity and cultural richness of Tribal India. Amongst which Bhopal's "Tribal Village" stands tall, by the virtue of being the host of largest population of tribes situated in Madhya Paresh .
Although there are multitude of institutions that cater to the need of keeping the regional identities intact by recognising the local cultural traditions; "Tribal museums" especially stand out in reassuring us to uphold the virgin ways of tribes and preserving their uniqueness from contamination.

Post World War II, the "Anthropological" concept of culture has started putting  more and more emphasis on "networks"—integrated story of evolution of man and culture with special reference to India—rather than on bounded (localised) entities. Anthropology thereby acquired the distinction of being an instrument of social development. And the best specimens of such a distinction is held by "Indira Gandhi Rashtriya Manav Sangrahalaya (IGRMS) or Museum of Man-Bhopal", which has resorted to, time and again, a number of strategies to face the "twin challenges" posed to contemporary museums i.e. of 'taking Museums to the communities' and of 'bringing communities to Museums'.

Covid-19 poses a special challenge, as to take down that, none of the Institutions was prepared( marriage, education, entertainment, amusement ,etc.); this sabbatical must not break our spirit of preserving the notion that one's culture must be shared, meant to be known and cared!

We can fight back  this Covid-19 scare effectively and restore the faith in our cause by standing resolute than ever before.
New safety guidelines can come as saviours like: temperature screening of all the visitors, implementing contact tracing measures, ensuring that all visitors wear a mask and maintain social distance, and suspension of large event, etc.,

All these "New  Safety Guidelines" would work wonders during the reopening of museums in a phases manner, provided they are wholeheartedly and strictly implemented and adhered to.

After all, word ”Culture" means a shared pattern of behaviours and interactions—with the contemporary times that has been in tune; & a "Museum" per se is an 'Institution' that curates the best specimens of knowledge from history, to feed the 'Present' with a cultured spoon...

Culture in a way depicts the cognitive constructs and worthy understandings that the 'process of Socialisation' bestowed upon us; & a Museum in fact displays the basic tenets of strengths that has held the evolving societies together, by removing the accumulated temporal dust...

Every structured stable society stands and remains so only when—all are ready to do for one  and one is ready to do for all; this Crisis has made us realise the fundamentals—upon which it is built—by its eventful call!

I hereby reiterate the fact, that Necessity to save something arises, only when one knows its umpteen worth; but when the 'saving of lives' has become paramount, "social distancing" becomes only option by desisting social gathering—the basic instinct of a herd!

18th May is celebrated all over the world by Museums as International Museum Day; let's hear for the undaunted spirit of mankind standing together as saviours of our culture and museums for Equality, Diversity and Inclusions' sake.

Time is just a perspective!

Fake Revolution

A TWO FACED COIN

A two faced coin!
#lockdown_4
1. One should fear #birth and not #death for the arduous task this life bestows; breaking the world & then preparing it afresh— long back this need arose!
(Idea: #Corona: A Blessing In Disguise! #20_Lakh_Crore_package is a welcome move. Now the real task begins...first Tell us how it is going to be different than the budget of this year. )

2. India is a mess of contradictions, you see...where democracy and feudalism grew hand in hand; potent #land_reforms could have been the single solid blow to the roots of this faulty castle of sand!
(Idea: Have-nots have always been obliged to choose a lesser evil , now there is this need to raise the level of their choices . Whole hearted 'land reforms' implementation and sincere streamlining of 'Labour laws' is a need.)

3.Soft-power of India is over-rated in a scenario where real powers like USA—rule the roost; it's not wise to count on our 'Apples' yet , when the trunk of our nation is weaker than its shoots...(Idea: Build the economy from the scratch. Every paisa out of #20_Lack_Crore package should be accounted for!!! If economy is solid then we can wield Real Hard Power. )

4.In India, One set is 'wastrel'—busy in collecting antiques, and another set is 'miser'—busy managing two square meals everyday; the "set" that lies in the middle (middle class) is so confused in this quagmire of dismay...
(Idea: Being ambitious and prosper, and excel in respective fields is a right and duty as well. Make sure your ambition is not at the cost of other's exploitation.)

5.The insecure '#Marginals'( the so called labourers, who live at the periphery of development) are constantly converging towards the already crowded '#Core'(centres of perceived development); allured by the traps of the poachers there, who defraud them of their prospects that their future will soon be secure...(Idea: Urban spaces are made on a heap of broken dreams...#Village in itself need to be self sustainable. #20_Lack_Crore package is a welcome move. Let's hope for the best!!! )

6.Everyone enjoys to have an upper-hand over other, while more the suppressor tightens the grip the quicker slips the sand; the desperate shouldn't be pushed against the wall so hard or else a #Revolution will be next to fend!
(Idea: #20_Lack_Crore package is timely, and the intension of Modi ji seems right. Let's hope all the  #State_Governments follow the suit properly and with utmost regard to the underlying notion of the same. But every penny should be accounted for. RTI culture should go to the next level. Hail #labour_Class!)

7. Compulsions of a 'fast life' but with 'meagre income' (of Indians ),caused the champions of #aviation business to lick the dust; business models catering to the mob mentality are like the  'flash in a pan ', that when put to real trial seldom work!
(Idea: Tourism and amusement industry has never been the real industries... It is just a myth like #Mirage. Need to Work upon the substantial yet sensible productions and consumption models of development, rest will follow...).

8. Some become law-enforcers and some end up as #criminals; good or bad decision in a moment can prove to be seminal!
(Idea: It is all about timing, you see...)

9. 'Ignorance' used be a bliss in a true sense when the untoward 'trivia' had never wrecked havoc; knowledge is power, I admit that, but 'information-overload' often gives me anxiety stroke...
(Idea: If this subtleness of a balance between ignorance and knowledge is understood then half the war is won. One should always be observant of what one is reading, talking and doing, and their respective usages and aftermath...#Education_curriculum should be revamped on a war footing!!!)

10.Every effort towards 'altruism' seems to come to rest, when one has earned one's leverage; real 'game of thrones' starts there infact, for mending and fending societal cleavage...
(Idea: Opportunism is a basic tenet of Kaliyug. It is nothing but a survival instinct. It is ok if it doesn't hurt anyone, as every 'Dog' has its day! )

11. Don't steal from the people who can not afford it and don't ever hurt a person who didn't deserve; there has to be a break in this cycle of compounding grudges, if at all we want the evils of 'ego-feeding' spree to be nipped in a bud...(Idea:  Concepts like 'Rule of Law', 'Equality before Law' and 'Equal protection of law' should be ensured in letter and spirit. With no exceptions! True internalisation will happen only when it is taught and learnt at elementary level of schooling. Need to Empower our upcoming generations to be able to ask right and reasoned questions... )

12.Definitions of perversion (depravity) change, as per the limits of a society to cope; the Codes of Ethics are dysfunctional today, to fix the unfixable-Rot!
(Idea: #Hypocrisy must end! I know, that every untoward 'kick' later knockingly withdraws; but sensible use & not abuse shouldn't raise any eyebrows... Say, psychedelics like LSD, Coke, Pot etc.are all banned today but why not #Alcohol (liquor) !? Either ban everything that arouses unsocial behaviour or legalise everything to deliver at least a controlled measured dose of 'pleasure' to society. Enduring Pain is a sin in itself, and seeking pleasure is a right! Right?)

13.#Cultural ethos of India have been immune to such decadence, otherwise cynics like 'Osho' would have thrived in here; thanks to a timely response by the powerful #leader of the time or else his perverted dupery would have proven to be too beautiful to the gullible, who were standing in line to just meekly adhere...
(Idea: Counter-culture sprees are for those who are shallow and weak, and not for Indians. Our heritage is simple and sound+ rich and profound.)

14.The charm of something #imported will douse down slowly, so will the excitement from an exotic platter; Indians have never been so fancy at their hearts, as for very long our palate satisfiers had been simple salt & pepper...(Idea: Simple living high thinking- Mahatma Gandhi.)

15. The bonds of love are far more stronger in India as fetching the nuances of real happiness has been painfully hard; the roots of our culture are deeper than thought as we have had the earliest head-start...( Idea:Our Culture is the oldest thus strongest and profound— clichéd but true. Indians are one of a kind, have always been and will always be..Jai He!)

16.The more we evolve the less we seem to learn from the lessons of the past; the real #Gem is the one that has grown slowly,  rather than forced to be made so, fast!
(Idea: We were obliged to let them (The "P5": USA's-Money might, Russian- Weapons, Chinese- Cheap products, Japanese- High Tech, Franch- Fashion ) corrupt our understanding about #success because we wanted to catch up with the ones who were already at the finish line... The Compulsions of energy for our industries and to feed a large populace compelled us to bend to their whims and fancies to unreasonable proportions...Alternatives are needed to remove the dependency.)

17. #Communism was an attractive idea, but failed miserably because people wanted to give away what they didn't have; #Capitalism thrived on the insecurities of the masses— who chose to buy endlessly out of the choices  those Capitalist gave...
(Idea: This 'market economy' should also have an element of 'Humanism'... 'Corporate Social responsibility' should equate with the word #Magnanimity and works of NGOs can also be made more efficient. Proper vigilance, monitoring and reporting is the need of the hour... every #Paisa of a rupee should be accounted for(Pai Pai Ka hisaab)! Make way for a SUPER-DUPER COMPUTER if need be...  )

18. #Religion is just an expression of "evolutionary adaptations", I guess, but whether or not God is there, I am not sure; at once the creator of this Universe is known, I won't believe in my God anymore!
( Idea: apni apni श्रृद्धा है।  )

19. It is not the #religion per se that's a rift between us rather language, caste, & class are also that divides; only a miracle of sorts could hold India together for long  & make Indians— reasoned, seasoned and morally  upright..
(Idea: Hoping for a miracle from Modi ji right now, as he holds the largest support ever received by a #leader in India... )

20.History is replete with examples of civilised societies descending into depravity very often than not; the shocks of desperation ascends the savagery off-the-hook without any token or permission of sorts...
(Idea: Our faith binds us all,  our culture holds us together...so, respect it for the sake of our existence! )

21. There is no problem in trying the old apparatus in this new guise, like shifting the liberal tendencies to a little conservative one; so far we have just learnt to copy their(western) business models, but now the time's right to boost our own #creative_sons!  (Idea: Swadeshi Samriddha Sarthakta —#SSS. Ideas like #Make _in_India, #Skill_India should be mobilised at the earnest!)

22. Had there not been substance in here, all this would rather sound a hollow narrative; to all the serious issues I have raised in here, deserve answers (solutions) in affirmative...

23.The word '#Triumph' starts with 'Try', & ends with 'Umph'; so, our trials should be such that our critics would get some serious goosebumps ...(Idea: #Jeet_Jaenge_Hum!)

24. Language is not just a medium of expression as what matters most is how it is used; sometimes it is used to arouse the 'rage' and sometimes just to 'amuse'...
(Idea: Here, I mean to do the both. Arouse and amuse you at the same time. You can be indifferent though, I won't mind, because I have had this terrifying experience with some #Stone_Hearts as well.  )

25.This sort of expression I use just to put in perspective, the underlying relation between the things that apparently seem a disconnect; and use of "English" language is just a compulsion, for making sure that my resonant voice widely reverberate.

26. I don't clamour for appreciations as I already know my worth, the shattered ones can be remade to a 'crystal' when pressure, heat and time is not in dearth...

27. Only two kinds of journeys inspire people the most, one is of 'Rags-to-Riches' or of a 'Prince who became Monk'; the drive to idolize such extremes is very solemn, but don't  consider the failed ones as a piece of #Junk.(Idea: Everybody has a story. You never know...)

28. #Struggling_student can be a prolific teacher by taking down life-lesson's meticulous notes; but his failures can make up interesting stories for others, only when he becomes worthy of personifying such anecdotes...
(Idea: Picture abhi Baaki hai mere dost...)

29.When I am put to choose out of Odd & Even, I always prefer the Odds; it kindles my hunger to perfect the ways of sharpening my Pen cum Sword!

30. I can be as rocky as a #Raging_Bull, yet as smooth and raw like a rare #Whiskey on the Rocks, such a rare combo is rare as a rarity like finding Subtleness within a shock!!!

31.#No_offence intended, as I have just tried to speak up my heart & as a fledgeling writer ample liberty I took; if this lockdown continues any further , you might as well be gifted by a #Book!
Thanks for Reading....

An actor does matter...

A Thankful Grievance...

A Thankful Grievance...
1. #Mother_nature has proven to be the ultimate Bioterrorist in here & everyone is being just taken by surprise; the epicentres have kept on shifting towards the smugly arrogant nations who had neglected the ominous cries...(Idea: Thanks to Dr. Li Wengliang, the wistleblower, who bought us some time...RIP)

2. Never in the fight of survival, was so much owed by so many to so few; even though our habit of sidelining the sacrifices of the front liners is not very new...(Idea:The sacrifices of our personnel in uniforms and aprons shouldn't be taken for granted. Time will not forget them.)

3. We become strong because of imperfections, we become wise because of our doubts; their 'lies' just can't become our gospels, how so louder they may shout...
(Idea: Indians needs India centric answers!)

4. You can't reason with a 'Tiger' when your head is in its mouth; better take the advantage of this opportunity before this shit goes south...(Idea: Loha garam hai... Hathoda maardo Zzorse, Modiji!)

5. #Diplomacy is about lies, tricks & deceptive spies, more often than not serious cover ups even suffice; when everyone is so concerned about meeting their selfish ends , then we should better start building upon our strengths to never be forced to come first to make the disgraceful amends...(Idea: Self sufficiency is a must in all fronts...)

6. #Today, everything hinges upon the cooperation amongst the like minds, as the faith in human values is clinging by a thin thread; the onslaught of the Powerful-5
(UNSC-P5) has been in offing since long to ensure that the 3rd World measly manage for just their Bread! (Idea: India's rightful permanent membership in UNSC is long overdue.)

7. A pauper can't expect to be a philanthropist, likewise  a nuclear deficient force can't press for disarmament for peace sake; humility of only the successful powers is respected, as holding grudges against the competition is a natural pliable option in #fight_for_survival's wake... (Idea: competition and conflicts are as natural as the existence of life in itself, need of the hour is to develop a potent 'bargain power'.)

8. Work ideally must include fulfilment, creativity and meaning besides money; without passion involved in your work, it  just becomes a tasteless honey...(Idea: Development of a #work_culture on a war footing is the need of the hour... Zyada nakhre nahi utha sakta Desh hamara! Honey chahiye😡)
9. #Life is too short to be in the constant search for the most #noble_job and being always picky without amends; wisdom used to lie in identifying the best field of interest the earliest and sticking to it till the end...not anymore!!!
(Idea: Finding and then nurturing one's passions is a luxury of a few...Jobs must find the person now! Survival>luxury.)

10. Mansions like "Antalya😅" stand tall amidst slums giving a mocking gaze upon the dwellers & making them perpetually amazed, reinforcing the strength of the opportune few and weakening the legs of the destitute not ever to dare to rise against.(Idea: #grand_irony!)

11. Easy entertainment kills creativity & the real humble jobs can become burdensome, caring guardians must deride such access to easy escape routes as the propositions of fools and dumbs...(Idea: Don't waste it! Entertainment should be celebrated..)

12. Whatever happened to outdoor games & socialisation in the era of fb, Insta, TIK TOK & what not; our youth  force is seriously getting wasted away in this bubble of pseudo celebrity hood...(Idea: kaun Shahrukh, kaun Aish aur kaun hai Salman, TIk TOK agaya hai bhai, ab saare celebs hamare saman!)

13. #Demonetisation had demonstrated the government's proclivity to try out something strange; our economy has never recovered since that unruly dogmatic never tested appendage...(Idea: kuchh paane ke liye kabhi kabhi bahut kuchh khona padjaata hai..)

14. #Crony capitalist is the entitled business class driven by greed & hubris but lacking in resources to legitimize their control; to get rich with the littlest work possible is the philosophy of such lobbyists & now it's time to bring back such absconders and squeeze out the hard earned money that they stole...(Idea: kidhar ho chor log!?!🧐)

15. #lady_justice appears blind folded, holding a twisted balance & wielding an overlarge sword; when just the absence of evidence is sufficient to declare an innocent a demon, then to set this flawed objective trend right we are ought to go overboard!!! (Idea:Evidence based #justice system is not working well, it is biased in favour of the resourceful and lethargic as well! )

16. When objectivity becomes subjective then reasons become a laughing stock; justice delivered resonates as guiding beacon, but when left unserved-make the darkness even more dark...(Idea: No scope for human error! Down with the discretion! )

17. Saving faces and pointing fingers is their favourite exercise-shown day & night in the primetime; you would believe a little less in me, i am afraid, if my expression doesn't rhyme...(Idea: News channels are meant to fool the fools...)

18. In India... If shit goes south, then the incapacitated system would just go haywire in coping up with this asymptomatic viral spread-like a wildfire...(Idea: just pray and ask for wisdom & patience amongst the masses & the government.)

19. #extermination of the defeated races had not been the sole aim of the expansionists in the events of world wars; overpopulation  compulsions have always produced a dispensable mob that came in handy, to be sacrificed whenever there was a call to pour more...(Idea: whatever happened to the concept of "Demographic Dividend"! Alas!!!)

20. Remember... Things remain precious only when they seem to be rare, our population has become plentiful enough that the 'Nature' could easily spare...(Idea: No comments! Samajhdaar ko ishara kaafi hai...)

21. This is a serious combat! And the most important thing a man can take into the combat is the reason, why?
You just can't shy away from the hardships of a normal life, as everyone would start pointing at you in contempt as soon as you stand out to be the 'first' or the 'only' guy! (Idea: Better to gather up the like minds and share...)

22. #I will keep on bringing something that will stir up your 'soul' hard, i believe, 'everything ends well that has experienced an struggling start'.

23. #I can't let the noise of my opinion to suppress your voice, you can humbly agree to disagree with me by using your rightful choice...
Jai Hind!

Corona: A blessing in disguise!

Corona: A blessing in disguise!
#corona31 #corona #covid19 #ncov19 #praveen_Katiyar

#corona:a_blessing_in_disguise!

1-Modi ji, Trump & Xinping alike, running amuck knowing nothing in precise; #Corona's novelty has thrown such a dice, that the magnificent Humans have to hide in homes like scared little mice...(Idea: Survival of the fittest is the law reminiscent, who ever stays home is a 'Champ' at present!)
Lets get serious now:
2-Limping democracy, failing culture & education system is awfully stale; real chaos is simmering in this crisis to consume everyone, & i could only hope that someone sensible remained to tell this disgraceful tale...
(Idea: It is just a start of  the realisation that we have not yet started in the right direction!)
3-Racketeering, profiteering, laundered money, biased decisions, etc.,  is the order the day; it is not enough to be just grumpy about when everybody important  is made to man the important positions but without any say.(Idea: Make them accountable! )
4- Corruption is rampant, so is the cowardice amongst the people of importance-who could have a say when they would say; this system is biased against the weak certainly and the powerful ones always easily get away...(Idea: Make the thieves accountable and pay back. Media is unable to ask right questions. Alas!!!)
5-Ideologies of political parties seldom corroborate with what they say; they are all opportunity mongers as whenever the Sun shine they come out to make their hay...
(Idea: I hope that there are exceptions.)
6-Anarchy often lurks behind the facade of strict authority ; the rulers must not lose its humane face & sincerely set right its priority... (Idea: Ugly show off of power with vulgarity is dangerous! Tread carefully as the crazy times is a double edged sword...)
7-Weapons, missiles & this constant race to show off our destructive deterrence might; humanity is doomed if this enmity sucks away our energy reserved for a constructive fight...( Idea: WORLD WAR 3 is imminent and that will not be because of 'conflict of interest' but because of 'conflict to survive'!)
8-Life makes sense only when it embraces the beauty of chance by dispelling the evil of control; humanity has done so far so well in preparing the ground for 3rd world war, that's on the roll...( Idea: Nothing is permanent as per the theory of evolution. This retaliation by nature for striking a balance was long overdue...)
9- We mistook our capacities to know all the magics to produce more & more; the time is right to give up the ignorance and realise that nature could only fulfill our needs & not greed for sure...(idea: Simple life is a bliss!)
10-I don't need a Mercedes if my neighbour owns a Maruti car; my desires are as deceptive as at school was my progress report card...
(Idea: Easy to understand if only you can relate with this. Meaning of success is just misconstrued...)
11-Selling the dreams of a rising Sun when actually it has been slowly setting ; only the sellers of those dreams are amassing wealth & the buyers are habituated to be always wanting...
(Idea: "Apple" khao khud jaan jao! There is no need to buy unnecessary things..)
12- There is no need to build a 'Trillion $' company rather the need is to support a thousand 'Billion $' ones; Indians can surpass the ones like Apple & Amazon when the right leadership comes...
(Idea: Imposing 'Conspicuous consumption' habits in the 3rd world middle class is the core philosophy of western world! )
13-Indians no more have to live in disgrace and subjugation, so please quit taking pride in working beyond the walls; it is time for 'Ghar- Vapsi' mere Yaaron, as our country needs your service most of all...
(Idea: watch film 'Swades', a simple yet powerful lesson to learn.)
14-Indians have always taken pride in being the  soldiers serving the cause of the Capitalists' might, where the employees had to slog for ever for the sake of their employer's self aggrandizing fight(cause)...
(Idea: India used to be the land of Sages, making sacrifices to purify their soul used to be their daily routine... Ponder upon the fact, if you can.)
15- Rope in people like 'Nadela and please bring the commanders like ' Sundar Pichhai'; there is a lot to do in our desperate country, we just need some honest intentions & clearer insights...(Idea: Harness the lost potential!)
16-Globalisation has been a lost game, as we have been bullied by them really rough; it doesn't have to be a zero-sum game, so lets pledge to find a win-win order for ourselves, as we have already had enough!
(Idea: Desperate times desperate measures! Need to adopt "India first" approach! Feed us, teach us, empower us to the core first!!!)
17- We can change everything, only if we want the things not to remain the same; we can only do this together & we can surely defeat them in their own game!
(Idea:Accept 'Sadharan Swadeshi', simple living high thinking...war against capitalist consumerism is needed, it is suffocating poor Indians.)
18-Brand is "a brand" because of expensive branding, but the value of those goods their utility must decide; lets end this culture of       ' mad-consumption' today, then tomorrow for everyone' s sleep there will be good night...
( Idea: Simple is beautiful, tasty and healthy. Daal Roti khao aur Parmaatma ke gun gao.)
19-Don't you commercialize everything please don't you strive for just the financial growth; fending for the purity of your soul is a saintly task, but it will nurture the interests of you & your generations-both!
(Idea: Best things come free! Oneness with nature is divine and priceless, so better desist from this mad race of commercializing everything.)
20- Dreams of material wealth is a perpetual vanity and definitely a painful never ending troll; our generations will have to bear the burden of our dissatisfied unscrupulous souls...
(Idea: We just don't need to eat more than we need!)
21-The hardships of the 'poor' are real & their helplessness is staring us right in our face; poverty is a viscous cycle after all & only together we can build for all a livable happy space...
(Idea: Sadbhaav poorn Samriddha Saarthakta= principle of SSS.)
22-The nature's rebound is bound to happen but unknown is its nature and character; nothing overwhelms its' 'coping capacity' provided this reasoning excludes the selfish human factor...
(Idea: Minus 'Human  Centricity' and everything becomes sustainable!)
23-Absolute power corrupts absolutely, is a fact only a few could deny; the myth of human superiority is about to get busted & to all our races this rule applies!
(Idea: Jiyo aur Jine do! All the life forms are precious.)
24-Source of Elite's freedom have been the poor hapless slaves & their luxuries are guaranteed by the misery of the weaker lot; trends of 'Capitalism' can't go any further & a need for a revamped economic system demands some real 'food for thought'...
(Idea: It is all about the Economy in the end, so why not make a better model that works for all and feeds all! )
25-Crisis has a way of bringing to the fore, the issues, that are easy to ignore in good times; if the desperate measures demand us to give away our leisure and some pleasures ,then that would work just fine...(Idea: learn to give & earn the bliss...)
26-"Limits to Growth" is off limits to human ingenuity, is what our arrogant scientists had  once claimed; the nature has shown the signs of saturation & now everyone is to be blamed...(Idea: limits to growth is real!)
27-Humanity has dominated by the biased rules till day; now the time is to reap what we have sown or else we will close fast to our doomsday!
(Idea: Karz chukaana padega...)
28-It is the right time we realised that nothing ever lasts, our future will be gloomy if we don't repent for our pasts... (Idea: Time to confess & repent!)
29- Our Earth is a super-organism(Hutton), and it is time to respect its 'evolutionary adaptation' as its processes are beyond man's control; the efforts towards 'Sustainable development' has been a farce so far, & the repercussions of this rat race to exploit it to the core is gonna be manifold!
(Idea:God is the greatest mathematician and his principles are infallible, so in his Grand design , Man  is just serving as a temporary spec to just connect the dots...the sooner we realise it the better.  )

30-SILVER LINING: Survival Instinct of humans is incredible, so is our spirit to strive and thrive; we must not let this gloom to fester our spirits, we just have to consider it as a "blessing in disguise"...(Idea: Together we stand, divided we fall! )
31- I am no better than you & you are not better than me; I have just tried to put things in perspective, so just say 'AYE' if you agree with me...
JAI HIND! JAI MAHAKAAL!
