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....

यहां हर एक 'जुमला' एक पहेली सा है, और हर 'आयत' में छुपी है एक कहानी; नाहि यहां कोई राजा था, और नहीं थी कोई रानी।।
जय हिन्द!
