Game of obstructions:

Technorati Tags: , ,

UPA Government is in power having different bogeys of heavy weights in politics to rule the country.There are people,there are politicians and there is Parliament,the supreme forum for taking national level decisions and law making.Yet the question remains as to who are the people that can truly and faithfully lead the cause of the massesPolitics. Politics of opportunism is all pervading and whatever are the issues it is invariably reflected in all dealings.True, there should be opposition but this has to be healthy one away from any prejudices. With due apologies to various political parties, I take the liberty to point out that many of them just raise a point of order to be or remain in lime light nurturing some vested interest or the other many a times.Be it a question on nuclear deal or Russia China Shanghai group, the speakers rub their nose on championing the points that suit their own viewpoints and not so much the people of the country. Approach wise same was the position during the time NDA was in power.The entire focuss is mostly on how to grab the power or, if already in power, how to keep it further.If welfare of the country is the basis, dogmatism oriented approach based on opportunism would'nt do. In this era of technological developments, the country needs a broad spectrum of dealings in matters of public interest.Issues raised, there are scenes in Parliament with exchange of hot words followed at times by manhandling with each other in many cases creating the whole atmosphere uproarious. After some time the dust settles, some VVIP arranges a sumptuous lunch party where all join, talk pleasantries and enjoy followed by a decision the next or say a few days later that necessary modalities have since been worked out to resolve the dispute with necessary understanding reached in the matter. Dissentions evaporate and things get normal as if there was nothing like any principle or conviction involved on the subject. This is a sheer blackmail and a full scale exploitation of the position they otherwise occupy as peoples representatives.

All beings are equal:

Not human beings alone, animals,birds and even small creatures including insects are born on earth to lead a life for themselves. Killing them, bringing them to the point of extinction is infact a sin human beings are in the habit of committing always thinking as if they are superiors in comparison to others on this earth.IMG_7294 This is not honest on their part as they have no business to interfere with the life of others. If they can live and enjoy life, all others who are given a chance to live in this world have equally a right to survive. It is pastime and entertainment for the humans to kill enjoying it like they are doing some thing very great. Why don't they think that if they themselves are attacked and killed how it is tobe taken by their family. Poaching is a pleasure for many and additionally it is resorted to by poachers as a big business by mafias for whom there is nothing tobe cared for excepting their own pleasure and enjoyment. General Cariappa once shooted a deer down while going on a shikaar and hearing groans of the animal he became nervous. As an army chief he was supposed to have anough of courage to face such a scene but he could not for the reason that he suffered from a feeling of guilt, the feeling that is inherent in any human being once he commits a crime or the very propensity to see life in others was more dominant compared to his pleasure killing.He decided to turn a vegetarian and never go for hunting any more.Abraham Lincoln too had the smae type of experience when Elephant-02he hunted a pig. He too took a decision not to resort to such killings that moment onwards.Elephants are known for being more sensitive compared to humans and their loyaly to their mahauts continues to be the subject matter of stories for the children even today.Poachers are in a killing spree and in the process they have dragged this specie to a stage where it is on the verge of extinction. As a matter of stutter of groans, Shakespeare once talked of '...as flies are to wanton the boys, so are we to Gods and they kill us for their sport..'. Why flies to wanton the boys? Flies too have a life. Killing them can't be supposed to be any one's pastime. Life means life for all and humans are naturally not vested with any special priviledge to take away the life of others.

Peculiar methods of teaching:

Coaching being a parallel forum to impart eduction, the system is much in vogue dominantly every where. Coaching in colleges on a regular footing is more or less of a secondary type where certain syllabus is prescribed for students and they are required to complete it within some limited frame of time in a statistical order. Even in junior level classes at the primary stage, the teachers' role is confined to transfer the total workload of the students to their parents who are required to see to it that the work so allotted is fully attended to at home.Career coaching is an entirely different a matter. Students opting for some career education have necessarily to go for outside channels for the purpose away from their college or school as there they just can't get what they actually need to nourish their prospects for some job. Such a situation gives coaching community a hey day to foster their business. There are many a coaching centers that guarantee an immediate employment for the students who join them obviously on an exhorbitant rate of fee. It is a scene when they conduct classes -the teacher sits in a corner of his room, the crowd of students stretches onward to the road outside his house to hear their teacher on a loudspeaker on the basis of which they prepare their notes. The rules of the coaching centers don't permit any student to have an individual interaction with the teacher.During last ten years there has been a mushroom growth of such centres throughout the city and they are thriving their business like big business magnates. Certain attempts to curb their activities by the administration were initiated only to get flopped.Every time the people in the locality create hue and cry against the jams and the nuisance caused to the public, some measures are initiated but soon they are stopped with some political leader or the other intervening in the matter. Like many an areas of corruption prevalent in the system, this too is a potential danger for peace and security of the people in general.

Diabetes -precautions are better than cure:

It being too cumbersome a process to undertake treatment for diabetes, the best way is to apply necessary self control, self monitoring with required precautions. Precautions if taken earnestly and as a regular process, the chances are that due check is possible. Many a people including physicians of all discipline like Ayurved, Homoeopath, Unani claim that diabetes can be fully eradicated if their drugs for the purpose are used. It is not correct as diabetes is the disease of pancreas which get damaged in course of time and there are no medicines to make any biological correction possible. Regular exercise and yoga are capable of activating the damaged pancreas and there lies a sigh of relief for diabetics. If it is done in a disciplined manner, a much better control over the disease is possible.
