It is now
Who has not seen Judge Frank Caprio on YouTube and his style of passing judgements? Judgements passed with kindness, tenderness and not technicalities of law. Judgements passed with grace, humanity and even humor. Never sterness, authority and false pride of his position.
He has levied fines on some people which he paid from his pocket. Turned a court of law into a home where a head of the family decides fairly. What he is sharing in this video is no new revelation. It is something we all know. Select the link to view the video

Families are most important and if that reaches a point of no hope, don't lose hope but try to repair it. If it cannot be repaired due to any reason of misunderstandings, don't make it worse or destroy it further.
Friends are cement that binds your life. Few may not bind. That does make them bad. Try to introspect as it could be you who is at fault. Forgive everyone who genuinely wants to make amends. Ask forgiveness if are wrong and try to make amends. Try to repair it. If it cannot be repaired don't hold grudge, prejudice or malice.
Above all realise the value of time. As Judge Caprio sums it up beautifully, it is now. Time is not what has passed and what will come in future. It is now. Your next moment is only a hope and unknown.
Don't just keep only moving towards tomorrow. As no one knows if there will be a tomorrow. Everyone hopes and plans towards moments to where they want to be in life. Nobody ponders to know where they are supposed to be. That moment is now. As there may be no moments after this.
Say a small prayer for Judge Franco Caprio as he is battling cancer. Maybe our prayers could have God's kindness to judge his fate better.

If BJP loses? A Parody...
Dreaming of BJP losing next elections? Dream as to imagine it as a reality, seems to be a hope. But you never know when a dream could be a prayer heard by the Almighty. As BJP may have succeeded in buying or imprisoning opposition. Since they could not do both with God, they built him a temple. A God that cannot be confined in a structure. So the collective dream of Indians of BJP to lose, could also manifest in reality?
What happens if BJP loses? Many in CBI, EoW, IT, ED may get jailed like IPS Sanjiv Bhatt. Sanjiv Bhatt will get released and all cases against him dropped. He would get reinstated and he will be given the honor of imprisoning Modi and Amit. The easiest case that can rot them in jail, would be the extortion through Electrol Bonds and those who were extorted would turn approvers against them by paying the new party in power. If they don't pay, their businesses would get effected and maybe even be investigated by agencies. As elections is all about who you vote to make your life less difficult. It is not about good and bad parties or Leaders. It is about chosing the least evil and a gamble of hope!
Mukesh may retreat to his palatial house in UK and be protected like Mallya, Lalit and Nirav. Gautam's holdings in many (practically all) of the infrastructure projects get diluted and his survival would be how much he will pay the new government. Kejriwal would be released but his dream of Delhi statehood would be a dream. Kejriwal will try to arm twist through his majority in other states. He would be then again investigated of his palace 'Seesh Mahal', where tiles, kitchen ware and curtain cost would make the best hotel in the world purchases prices would look like price of undergarments. Wondering did CAG find the price of Kejriwal's undergarments. As you may never know with his extravagant purchases like curtains to cover his privacy, he would would have the most expensive custom made underwear to cover his privates.
The new allianz government would try hard to project Rahul as the face of the PM, then he won't have the support base to have his base seated on the PM's chair. It would be a pot pourri of an allianz with Rahul seated on a pin cushion. The new government initial year would be pure vendetta and power given to execute it would be given to the ones like Chidamabaram who was humiliated.
Suddenly the Ghodi Media would become Dhobi Media, washing all the muck they threw on the new government when they were in opposition. As the media is nothing but presstitutes, pressing opposition down. Many cannot be even called channels as they resemble more as kennels, where political panelists are called to bark. It becomes less of a news media and more of a political entertainment where some break into poetry or it is who has the last bark.
The new government would claim that whatever allegation of corruption that the earlier government has shown when they were in power for 60 years, the earlier government has done more worse than that in 10 years.
So next elections it is all about how you want to be fried. Do you prefer slowly cooked over 60 years or burnt on a high flame in 10 years. If it is a new government, you may just have the hopeful consolation of jumping from the fire into the frying pan.
This article is a pure parody and if BJP loses or wins it would still be a political comedy and tragedy for India(ns).

Junglee Book (Part 3)
An eerie noise screeched across the jungle, as it was time to decide who would be the next king of the jungle. All animals were still not able to fathom how did a cunning fox in lion clothing fool the entire jungle for nearly a decade. The cunning fox had an ally which was a bald dog who was faithful to the fox. They both came from the Western Part of the Jungle, where predominantly herbivores animals grazed. Then the shrewedest animal brains for business came from there. Could it be the grass they ate?
Then there was the underbelly of crime in the Jungle of animal species that only preyed on goats. They even had a distinctive style when they brayed. They were considered ruthless and scum of the animal earth. Killings, extortion and generally ensuring fear driven into society. No one ever imagined foxes to rise to their levels and have them scoot with their tails in between their legs. Confusion whether it was rising to their levels or falling down to their levels. The ones who preyed on goats always resorted to violence and thought they could control their jungle. The irony is that these animals were given an option to carve a separate Jungle country and follow their animal practices. Though many migrated to that part, the smart one stayed back as the country that was carved for them has gone to the pigs and is a pig sty today. Many even refer to it as Porkistan
The ones that stayed back tried to bring their culture literally to the streets, with their braying. They brayed so loud and used conical leaves and conical cut trees for their braying sound to be heard. Destroying the peace and harmony of the jungle where melodious sounds of other species were drowned in their braying. The fox and the dog saw this as an idea opportunity to gather the majority of the jungle and silence these goat eating animals. They brought laws that stop their promiscuous animal behavior where males were allowed to many mates. Then they relegated a large ruminating animal as God and ensured that could not be preyed on. This was a cheap source of food for the the goat eating animals as preying on goat was not cheap.
To cull their dominance the fox and the dog demolished a structure where the goat eating animals congregated to bray. Then all animals in opposition were hounded by ED, Eating Department. This department sole job was to prove that the opposition was eating more than they could chew. Then IT forces were let loose. IT was Inducing Terror by proving that opposition was evading disclosure of the meat they eat. Then was EoW, Everyone Opposition Watched. This ensured all animals in opposition were kept on a close watch.
With all these tactics the fox and the dog team ruled for a decade and now slurping and licking their lips with confidence of a win for the next 5 years. They ensured the animals that opposed could not access their meat or grass or put behind iron traps. They just forgot something which time has revealed all throughout history. You can domesticate some animals with fear or a bone all the time, but you can't domesticate all the animals all the time.
Disclaimer : This article is a work of fiction. Animals mentioned were just characters to a story and has no resemblens to the actual animal behavior or geography. This article is not defame or be derogatory to any animal living, dead or could be born in future

Voting for Dummies?
If you want pride vote for the party that built the world's tallest statue, but has the smallest level of integrity or humanity.
If you want safety then vote for the party that can build a temple, so God can protect you, but women are not safe. Rapist are let out scot free.
If you want hope, vote for a party that gives you false promise of one and a half million Rupees in your Bank account, and money earned with the sweat and blood and kept in a Bank is not safe.
If you want to vote for a leader who talks of family values, but disowns his own wife. A leader who talks of education and is not educated, but has a degree
If you want to vote for a party that shows a palm symbol of prosperity and ran the country in a dynastic fashion for decades. A party that gave India Emergency, Forced Sterilisation and Sikh Massacre.
If you want to vote for a party that shows a broom symbol to clean corruption, and builds a palace to house the leader.
If you want to vote for a party that has shows an elephant symbol and has an appetite of an elephant for corruption
If you want to vote for a party that shows a cycle symbol, and makes no roads on which one can even walk
If you want to vote for a Bow and Arrow symbol and the party who had these symbol lose it to deserters in the party. Parties who cannot keep their symbol what will they keep their manifestos and promises?
If you want to vote for a party that gives freebies to the poor, but not offer education and jobs for the poor.
If you want to vote for a party where a leader talks, but refuses to answer questions or have a media interaction. And if you talk, you will be silenced.
If you want vote for a party that forces a language on you. Forces businesses to have sign boards in the regional language. At the same time will not offer businesses infrastructure or facilitate them for ease of business or compete globally.
If you want vote for a party that decides what you can eat and what you cannot. Where an animal is considered sacred and humans are not respected
If you want vote for a party that want to give shelter to refugees from neighboring countries, when many are starving in the country. Where many are giving up their Indian citizenship to settle in safer countries or that offer better prospects and better standard of life. When minorities were killed in Manipur
If you to want to vote a corrupt leader and he is in opposition. No problem as he will switch to the ruling government. It is not a washing machine government. It is a trashing machine who sends ED, EOW & IT on the corrupt if they dont switch loyalties. So you know what loyalty he or she would have for those who voted them.
So who do you vote for? You don't vote for a honest leader or a clean political party, as there are none. You vote for a lesser corrupt leader and a lesser corrupt political party.
Choose your pick from the garbage. Unfortunately it is not even segregated. They even mingle and mix and even name it I.N.D.I.A Institutional National Destruction In All aspects.
Could that be a reason for India to be named BHARAT. Bribery, Harrasment Autrocities, Robbery & Threat

Confused?
Walking on a street saw a temple, with a guard guarding the gate. Confused who is he guarding, God? The God we pray too for protection? Or should we pray to the guard?
Saw a blind girl selling sun glasses? Selling sunglasses to protect my eyes and she does not have eyes!
A lady walked out of a fine dining 7 star hotel after a party, carrying all the left over food. She gave the food to the poor on the streets. The poor had the food under a thousand stars.
A rich man walked by flaunting a million dollar watch. Constantly looking at his watch as he was late and running out of time. A beggar with no arms walked to ask for alms. He could not wear a watch and had all the time.
I cried because I did not get a pair of shoes, till I saw a man who had no feet. But no one saw the animal crying who was killed for the leather.
Two cancer patients. One alongwith his medical treatment also went to a Godman for healing but died. The other went to a Doctor and was an athiest and survived. Did God save an athiest?
Eating home cooked food which is grown with pesticide and animals injected with growth hormones or eating fast food or processed food? Which is healthy? Are both bad for health and one bad is better than the other bad?
Two murderers. One gets a bail with his money power and the other stays in jail. Is this justice or is justice a commodity that can be purchased?
Who do I vote for at elections? What choice do I have? Vote for the lesser evil or vote for the devil known rather than the devil unknown? Are we voting in the end voting for evil and a devil?
If those who lead a life of evil, it is told they will go to hell and the ones who lives an honest life, will go heaven. The irony is the evil is enjoying heaven on earth. So should I be evil and enjoy heaven on earth while living or heaven after death?

Shepherds of the laity?
Three wise men who came to pay respects to baby Jesus were guided by a star. These wise men got a dream not to take the same path they came from. As King Herad who met the three wise men on their way to meet Jesus, were told to tell him where was Jesus born, so he could have Jesus killed.
Today our wise clergy men are they waiting for a dream. Can they not see the danger creeping in? Are they under the impression that Christians could mark the doors with the blood of a lamb and be saved?
Why are the Christians being profiled?
https://www.hindustantimes.com/cities/mumbai-news/profiling-of-christians-done-under-the-guise-of-maratha-survey-rights-group-101708024331256.html
Is it that the government will give the community gold, incense and myrrh? Or is it that Government has other intentions? Few of our wise clergy men did have a meeting with the Prime Minister during the festive season of Christmas last. What was the purpose? Was it a King Herod plan? Why were the clergy playing Nero fiddling, when Manipur was burning and yet they go and meet the Prime Minsiter and not ask him questions?
Christian schools are warned against displaying holy images of Jesus and Mother Mary
https://www.deccanchronicle.com/nation/assam-hindu-group-threatens-christian-schools-to-remove-religious-symbols-or-faace-dire-consequences-881786
Nuns and Priests are warned against wearing their habit and cassocks! What next? We are dictated what to eat, what are religious should wear and forced to have Hindu Bhajans and picture of Goddess Saraswati displayed?
What is our clergy doing? When will they realise that it is time to groom the laity and encourage them into governance? When will they laity realise that it is time not just to pray but also play an active part in social matters and be a part of the system in politics. Only pray can lead you to be prey like what is happening today. Time the clergy in India awakens to the need of them being in politics and not waiting for an approval from Rome. As India is not Rome where the white men who dictate us are living a life of luxury and here in India the laity and clergy are living in fear and misery
Time the clergy be shepherds to the laity towards their social well being and safety and not just religious and spiritual well being. And not being shepherds watching their sheep being slaughtered, by a Dictatorial Political system?

Dictatorocracy
Is Dictatorocracy the new Democracy in the world? Are we electing Dictators or Leaders into power? Leaders who are supposed to be Public servants. Leaders who turn Dictators, lying to their citizens, before getting elected into power. It is happening world wide and everyone is aware of it, but doing nothing about it. Or the majority not effected yet, don't want to do anything. Not realising Dictators will get them too, as they too are in line, maybe just far end of the line.
How do these Dictators evolve? First lie to citizens how great they will make the nation. Citizens then carried away with eloquent speeches and even showcase negative aspects of earlier governments. None of these Dictators promises, if not fulfilled is backed with legal penalisation, so they just continue with impunity. They getting toppled during their tenure is remote. To make it worse they even ruin the country from the levels it was, when they gained power.
Next step is get corruption into play and amass wealth. Look at majority of global leaders especially of developing or even developed countries. How is it that they become so rich being Public Servants? Levels of corruption differ to what levels of masses does the effect percolate? In a developed country like US, the financial melt down left many homeless. High level corruption and how many high level politicians got arrested?
Irony is besides few countries like North Korea, Dictatorship is some cases was a boon to the citizens. Example Iraq and Libya. The citizens enjoyed good quality or life, medical care and education. Yes atrocities were committed by these Dictators, but far less than the democratically elected Dictators. Then these elected Dictators even try to amend laws or constitution to be in power till they die like Vladimir Putin in Russia or in China though not a democracy, Xi Jinping ensured he got the numbers to ensure he stays in power for his number of years of his life. Even Middle East is veiled Dictatorship. Could that be the reason the women are in veils? Where foreign labor from 3rd world countries are brought in and exploited. The citizens of these countries are kept happy with freebies and it is a region that will soon implode.
Dynastic Politics is another veiled democracy for Dictators to ensure their families continue amassing wealth. Best of democracies in the world are falling apart. Main reason is appeasement politics towards a certain section of citizens, taken care off and in some cases the same citizens dumped, once these Dictators are elected to power. Then there is divisive politics of race, caste, color or religion. Which ever is the majority, they are pitted against the rest and the Dictators enjoy the fight in the arena, seated in high levels of power. The use of power to crush opponents legally, is using political machinery to prove illegality of tax evasion or illegal wealth of opponents. These opponents then just jump ship and join the Dictator party out of fear. The easiest is to buy opponents off like prostitutes so the Dictators can enjoy screwing the economy and wealth and ruin the nation.
There is a silver lining to the dark clouds loomimg globally. The best awakening is the world standing in unity for Palestine against the atrocities done by Israel. Ugly face of American Dictatorship was in the open, where anyone speaking against Israel were taken to task, especially students. This is the freedom of speech in America. So imagine the level atrocities in other democracies of developing nations. Yes Palestine is a terrorist state harboring a terrorist group, Hamas. Does that mean, Israelites can claim right to their land and homes, because it is stated in a Holy Book as the land was given to them as the promised land, by God? So a stronger terrorist took over a weaker one, and that is projected as democratic and even holy?
The worst and evil democracy is a capitalist democracy. Where the rich are incentivised with loop holes to.pay less taxes and even not pay back loans. At the same time a common citizen can lose his home and his shirt, if he does not pay back his loan. These capitalist and lobbyists of industrialists then fund these elected leaders to stay in power, who end up as Dictators. They then help the capitalists with laws to crush the common citizens with low wages, job cuts and long working hours. Imagine a gun lobby that cannot be controlled in USA, which is killing innoncent kids in schools and common citizens, by some crazy men with a gun in their hands, going berserk.
These dictators will soon end up as terrorists, like Isreal, leading democracy to terrorocracy. This too will be shown as legal, moral and right by world bureaucratic bodies like UN, IMF, Security Council, etc. Even religion mixed with democracy citing reiligious texts proving their God had promised them the land, and proving it legally from a Holy Book? Or proving that there were their religious structures that existed in that land? Holy Moly, even God can't dictate these Dictators.

Before the cock crows
Is it Biblical history repeating itself? At the time of Jesus there was a conspiracy to have him crucified. The matter was handed over to Pontius Pilate who found no fault in Jesus. He had to give into the majority of evil forces. To the extent he even offered to save Jesus life instead of a criminal Barabus. The crowds, who were the majority preferred Jesus crucified and Barabus released.
What is happening now is something similar with a twist. Here it is not the majority seeking the Christians be crucified. It is the very leaders and clergy of the Church not uttering a word on the genocide of Christians in India, when they were called for a Christmas meeting with the Prime Minsiter, Modi. Violence on Christians, attacks on Church properties and clergy in rural areas is on the increase. Are these leaders and clergy of the Church okay with the crucification of the Christians?
What 40 pieces of carrot did Modi offer in assurance of the safety of the Christian community? Why are they selling the laity to be crucified, praising Modi at the meeting and even showing pleasure and satisfaction after the meeting? Thank God during Jesus time, there was only one Judas. Today it is more of Judas in the clergy and a microscopic few true disciples of Christ as clergy. One of the names in the recent past that comes to mind is Fr. Stan Swamy, who was killed by the system and there was a silent clergy and leaders of the Church in India. It was more of the laity that raised their feeble voices. Feeble being a minority.
Then the system with a dictatorial government persecuting Christians is understandable. Then the Church itself is silent to clergy raping Nuns, children sodomised and sexually abused. Cardinal Oswald Gracias who is a very senior leader of the Catholic Church in India and also in the Vatican has Police FIR investigations against him. So were there some or many like him who went out of fear of the authorities hounding them on such cases? Like how Enforcement Directorate and Income Tax officials are let loose on opposition political leaders? So opposition political leaders who joined the current government were absolved of all their crimes and thus this government got the moniker 'Washing Machine Government.' So is it a Baptism font or pond Government, where there Church leaders could go and get the sins washed?
Were they given a message, before the cock crows around next elections, betray your laity many times.

Liar Liar....
Cardinal Oswald Gracias supports Pope Francis, who feels the Gay Community needs to be included and accepted and blessed for their sexual orientation.
https://gloria.tv/post/kmwgEMmubEov6aj4429uRYnz8
This is not about whether a person being gay is right or wrong. This is about Catdinal Oswald trying to prove acceptance of gays as a part of Indian culture. Which Temple, Mosque, Gurudwara, Synagogue or any other religious Institution gives a religious approval for homosexual union. Trying to camouflage it as a blessing and not a marriage is a weak statement. So is there no blessing in a marriage or is it only a dressing of western suit and gowns? Cardinal Oswald cannot justify a western culture and acceptance into religion saying it is a part of Indian culture. Acceptance into society and legal rights is different from approval into religion.
Why did Cardinal Oswald need a Pope's announcement to prove it is a part of Indian culture? Why could he not have the courage to declare it before that? So is this a back door entry for gay priests? As cases of guys in the clergy is in public domain. The Vatican and the Church's attempt to brush it under the carpet of the Altar is not able to hide it. The informed laity seeing such priests on the Altar is having many lose faith.
Cardinal Oswald cannot get selective to prove a point in Vatican announcement as a part of Indian Culture. It's time Indian culture is a part of the Church and not the other way around. Vatican modifying prayers adding a mystery to the rosary and we are suppose to just accept without questioning? Who gives white men in Rome supremacy to decide and dictate and then Cardinal Oswald a slave to the white men in Rome trying to justify it as Indian culture. Where is India's clergy leadership, views and voice that shapes and dictates views in the Catholic Church?
The problem is appointment of Bishops and Cardinals are decided by the the white men in Vatican, so the Indian clergy will always be slaves to the white man in Rome. Then accept the laity to be sheep and they sheperds. An analogy which the laity is longer going to accept being regaled to as animals and the clergy as sheperds. Many in the laity are well and more informed that most in the clergy. It's time the laity decides who should be a Bishop and a Cardinal. These should be clergy, brave and of moral character who don't take orders but are a part of a team that decides and not just one white man who decides on his whims and fancy.
Cardinal Oswald your comparison of gays to being a part of Indian culture is lies. Liar Liar, your cassock is on fire

To be or not to be is the confusion.
A recent article on Pope's diktats being cared two hoots by the Indian clergy in Kerala. Apparently a state which is called 'God's own country'. The confusion is whether the priests should face the altar or face the congregation during mass
https://www.ucanews.com/news/vatican-ultimatum-fails-to-end-indias-liturgy-dispute/103545
Many countries especially Africa and Kerala in India are getting loudly vocal to the white men, in joker two cone pointed hats in the Vatican. The message is do not dictate on how to conduct their rituals during Mass and other religious practices. There is a lot of culture deep rooted, in history which cannot be white washed by some white idiots in Vatican. More so because of their illiteracy and ignorance of cultures. All they know is a colonist mindset to rule which is failing. Christianity first came to India with St. Thomas a disciple of Christ and who brought the teachings of Christ to Kerala. This got corrupted by Portuguese and British colonists who brought their corrupted version of their Bible and rituals.
Another recent video is projecting yoga as demonic and devil worship. A video by a Catholic priest who himself looks demonic
https://youtube.com/shorts/SCDX7TEVK9E?feature=shared
The video goes to show how some postures are a worship to the serpent spirit. A white dove can be a holy spirit in Christianity but a serpent is bad. In Indian culture snakes are worshipped and respected. Who gives any clergy the bloody authority to decide whether it is bad or not compatible with Christianity? Just because in the Bible the devil took the form of a serpent to tempt Eve, does it make the serpent bad? The devil took the form of a serpent, like how today the devil has taken the form of the clergy who sexually exploit children, fornication, have secret families, involve in land scams and financial frauds. Tomorrow another idiot in Vatican may claim the Apple is a forbidden fruit. The world believes an Apple a day keeps the Doctor away. Wondering which fruit would keep the devils in clergy away. Then hanging crystals is bad. So is crucifix is good? Is that not an inanimate object?
What posture did Christ pray in the Garden of Gethsemane? It was with his face to the ground. Is that not a yoga posture. A posture which he learnt in India. Yes in India which is the missing years of Christ in the Bible. BBC has documented the missing period and traced it to Christ being in India. The Vatican would have a problem accepting it as then it would change the entire course of Christian teaching. Just like the Dead Sea Scrolls which has a lot of Biblical facts missing from today's doctored Bible.
What posture priests do on Good Friday. They prostrate with their face facing the ground before commencement of the holy service. Does that not represent a yogic pose?
So insteading of debating, arguing and dictating whether the clergy should face the altar or face the congregation, start contemplating and thinking if God is facing you or have we left him with no face to show

Red Christmas
Elvis Presley's song 'Blue Christmas', is about having Christmas without a loved one. We have been celebrating Christmas without Jesus for over two thousand years. No one ever felt blue without Jesus. It's not about the season of Christmas where we celebrate his birth. That's not Christmas. That's an excuse to have a festive reason for celebration. To the extent in America even greetings of 'Happy Christmas' is replaced with 'Happy Holidays'. Reason being it resonates with a wider audience with people of other faith. How much inclusive are we trying to become? To the extent of even having Christ out of Christmas?
What Christmas are we planning to celebrate this year? When land were Jesus traversed is flowing in blood. Even Jesus may have not suffered as gruesome a death like many of the innocent civilians have faced in the bloody war between Israel and Palestine. Many of them infants. Atleast Jesus was given an embalming tomb burial. Here dead bodies are not even in body bags but in black garbage bin bags. Hospitals in ruins and medication performed by Doctors with torch or mobile lights.
The wise men who came to visit Jesus were guided by the light of a star. Here we are seeing bloody carnage live, light up on our TV screens. What about the hundreds of infants being killed in the war. Atleast Jesus was saved from Herod, where the wise men were guided back home through a different route. What route could these who were brutally killed take? Killed in their own homes? Jesus atleast had the warmth of a Manger, here war effected innoncents especially kids don't even have a roof and taking shelter in rubbles. A wild thought, what if one of these infants killed was The Second Coming? Killed at birth even before he could redeem the world?
So this Christmas when you put decorations of red on a green Christmas Tree it won't be the same dear, for those living in the land of Jesus, in fear
And when those snow flakes start falling
Remember the blood drops that are dripping
You will be doing all right
With your Christmas of white
and your parties at night
Then there will be many who will be having a red red red red Christmas.

The prayer confusion
Confused seeing the above post as it is a one way communication as the other end called God does not reply. Then the problem is which God are we referring too?
You have to.charge your connection it with tithe in the Catholic Church and other forms of monetary payment in other religion. With no assurance of a two way communication and even if there is a signal confirming the other end is listening
Then we have to rely on 3rd party vendors called saints to lift our prayers.
The 3rd party vendors only work on certain days or for certain requests. Like Saint Anthony seems to help you to find lost stuff.
Corporations who run this divine communication centres like Church, Temple, Mosque, Synagogue don't even have a complaint window or grievance cell. So if your prayer is not answered means you are at fault. So pay more and pray more.
Then there is physical penance like fasting, which makes no sense as all one is seeking is a two way communication and a solution. It's like your cellular companies asking for one day a week fast or 40 days in a year alongwith the payment subscription.
Prayer means reaching out to your fellow human beings and helping them, not reaching out to God asking for help. As we all like to believe that God is dwelling in our hearts and in your fellow human being hearts. We also like to believe that God made us is HIS own image.
What did we end up doing? Made an image of him and his 3rd party vendors called saints and praying to their idol images and ignoring the suffering of human beings around us.
The idol images are just most or all the time artistic imagination and some of the saints images could be right. What is wrong is ignoring the right thing we ought to do. Not just pray but play our part of the God that resides in us.

Employee Terrorism
Terrorism is not just destruction and killing. It is also threatening your survival and to follow a certain diktat. Is not Narayana Murthy's latest call to the youth to work 70 hours for nation builidng is akin to employee terrorism? Who is Murthy fooling? Is the call for nation buildng or building his personal fortunes? If nation building is his genuine interest, then why not start with donating 70% of his wealth towards nation builidng? His introduction to True Caller CEO Alan Mamadi, that he is a philanthropist and wants to give back to the world. Give back what? Fortunes earned from the sweat and blood of your employees?
Will his wife Sudha Murthy who goes about preaching and writing books with nice and goody stuff, will have the courage to speak out. In many a interviews she prides of she paying for her husband in their courting period. Does she know today her husband's company employees are paying for their wealth accumulation?
Rich Indian Industrialists and Business men should stop putting their foot in their mouth with noble, humane and kind faced statements. There is an Indian footwear company that lost a case where it wanted employees to work extended hours. So many of these rich not only put their foot in their mouth they even put their foot in the mouth with their footwear on.
https://www.livelaw.in/high-court/bombay-high-court/bombay-high-court-grants-compensation-to-bata-salesmen-fired-for-opposing-showrooms-opening-7-days-a-week-with-extended-hours-241470
Business Tycoons all over the world like to show their compassionate side towards humanity, nature and their well scripted speeches by their PR agencies. None of these companies would show their compassion to their employees when they are terminated like termites being eliminated. Why are there recent heart wrenching stories of staff putting up their stories on Linkedin of being terminated after over a decade of service? Why are they begging for jobs?
This is the same Naryana Murthy who once embraced Communism, till he tasted the pleasures of caplitalism. Which he related to some train journey in a foreign land and he got jailed and the whole 9 yards of the story is there in public domain. The irony is the moral of the story that it made him a compassionate capitalist. Did it make him compassionate? So this is the compassion, slave employees for 70 hours a week. There is no such thing as a compassionate terrorist.
What next Murthy? Work 70 hours a week till you are 70?

Lights, Camera, Action.....(Part 2)
How does law work? Can justice be taught and learned? If it can be then obviously it has not worked, with the way the world is. Maybe it is time for Artificial Intelligence to start giving verdicts as allegedly real Intelligence of human beings can be so easily manipulated. Manipulated with greed of wealth for those in justice or in India with positions of power post retirement or with threat and killed like Justice Lohia.
A recent plea in court rejected a plea for the ban Pakistani artistes to perform in India
https://m.timesofindia.com/entertainment/hindi/bollywood/news/bombay-hc-rejects-plea-to-ban-pakistani-artists-says-patriotism-should-not-breed-hostility-report/articleshow/104588451.cms
Can this justification be given to families of soldiers and civilians who were killed by Pakistani trained terrorists? Killing of enemy soldiers during war is something that cannot be avoided. Hete it is unprovoked killings of our soldiers and even civilians on the border. The Bombay blasts was the most gruesome act of terrorism orchestrated from Pakistani soil. So what does one do to avoid this hostility from Pakistan? What steps has Pakistan taken towards peace? Blowing up soldiers, civilians and places to pieces? Will allowing Pakistani artistes to perform in India eliminate hostility?
Which sane legal system would allow rapists to be set free. That too for good behavior behind bars? How safe and secure and just would the victim and the family feel? To make it more humiliating, these monsters were felicitated with garlands? Is this justice? Or is this a dictatorship that has control the legal system? So are the other rapists, murderers and other criminals not well behaved behind bars? Or has justice locked itself behind bars?
Does the legal system have queuing system or is it a commodity that can be purchased by the rich. If cases are pending for decades, how come the rich, powerful and influential get such easy access to justice and bail. It is like getting a beverage from a vending machine? When Charles Dickens penned his book Oliver Twist, a character Bumble states the law is an ass, imagine what he would have said today, with state of the legal system world world wide today. Would it be the Law is an ass and practiced by assholes? Maybe the book would be titled 'Legal Twist'
Back to Pakistani artists being allowed in India. Are talents from India so bad or ugly, that we need Pakistanis? Featuring Pakistani artistes is insulting families of soldiers massacred on our borders and is like encouraging and welcoming Pakistanis for Lights, Camera, Action....Destruction

Who is the real terrorist?
Why is the world failing to raise its voice against United States which is the real terrorist in the World? When Hiroshami and Nagasaki were bombed, who was real the terrorist? Japan for Pearl Harbour Attacks or the level to which America retaliated? Why did America go to war in Vietnam? To ensure that it does not fall under communist rule? Was that noble? If yes why not attack North Korea, which has the worst levels of Human Rights violation? So to in China with the sectarian cleansing of the Uyghur community or its chain over Taiwan. Why is the United States not going to war with China? Instead it is doing trade and business in China? So if America prospers even at the cost of Human Rights violation, it is blends in.
If Taliban was a terrorist Organisation, who armed them to fight the Russians? As long American interest were priority they were freedom fighters of Afghanistan fighting the Russians. The day the Taliban strategy boomeranged America became their target, Taliban becomes the terrorists? Why is the world governing bodies and leaders not questioning to why is America now not defending Afghanistan which has fallen back into the hands of Taliban and human atrocities being committed. America knows it can never stand against Taiban and prefers to peddling arms and ammunition to the world, where by its soldiers will not be slaughtered.
Now Supplying arms to Ukraine in its fight with Russia? So who is the real terrorist, Russia, Ukraine or is it America? If the plan was to weaken Russia from a military perspective, as China and Russia are the only military powers, America can never fight or win against. Then why was Pakistan being armed by America? Was India a threat to Pakistan or America? Then despite knowing that weapons and monetary aid supplied to Pakistan were being used to support terrorists to keep attacking India for decades and till date. Then Pakistan giving refuge to an Indian, Dawood Ibrahim who is recognised as a terrorist even by America. Who is the real terrorist, India, Pakistan or America?
Today it is arming Isreal to the levels that America is facing shortage of weapons.
https://www.forbes.com/sites/lorenthompson/2023/01/18/how-the-defense-industry-became-a-defining-feature-of-the-us-economy/
So how do you create business for such an economy? Ensure sale of its arms and ammunition to countries at war. Or create war like situation like what is being done through Pakistan to attack India or to Ukraine to defend against Russia or Taiwan to protect itself against China. America can even go to extent to risk its own citizens lives with sale of arms. Gun violence and lives lost and that too of innoncent school children is in the Public Domain
https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-41488081
Even terrorist Organisation would never kill their own like how America does not just with its arms trade, but even through its food industry of chemical processed food and colas. Needless to mention its vaccine against COVID19
The joker in the pack of nations supporting Israel is India, when successive Governments before having been demanding and supporting the need for a Palestine state. Then why is the present Government supporting Isreal? For its anti missile technology which is not even working in Israel against missile attacks from an alleged terrorist Organisation Hamas in Palestine. India even supported Iraq during the invasion of Kuwait and I.K. Gujral the then External Affairs Minister, hugging Saddam Hussein. Post war and Iraq was reined by America, India had to diplomatically hug the feet of Kuwait for its oil and safety of its citizens
Why is India bothered about Israel Palestine conflict when it cannot protect its own land against the Chinese who have occupied thousands of kilometers of land in Inda and China even showing maps with more of Indian territory as its own?
If violent brutal killings is happening in Manipur in India which is another sectarian elimination of the Christian community shown as tribal violence, it is not an act of any terrorist groups across the border. The silence of the Prime Minister who can make statements supporting Israel but not a word or visit to Manipur, the question is, "Who is the real terrorist?"

Junglee Book (Part 2)
A certain western part of a big jungle which is a peninsula, wanted to create its own identity. They started with Pungi Hatao which was to discriminate the animals from the south of the main jungle. The problem was animals from the south bajaoed their Pungi (blew their daylights) of the animals in the peninsula. They were educated and were getting employment easily, as the animals in the peninsula were laid back and want it easy. So they get lured easily into vandalism and intimidating animals from other part of the jungle and eat some leaves concoction called Jhamaku, which they muzzle with their paws and keep in their mouth. Instead of educating themselves in global jungle levels they were regaled to barking their lingo. Not realising all animals don't bark.
The next target were the animals from North and Central Part of the big Jungle that migrated to the peninsula part of the Jungle. The North and Central part animals were good at transportation and the peninsula jungle lazy animals did not even want to get on their feet to walk so forget transportation. The North and Central animals were generally docile cows doing transportation and being watch guards or into dairy. The peninsula animals not intelligent only survived with hooliganism and demanded that the North and Central animals bark like them in communicating. Forcing everyone to use barking language and signboards on trees.
The peninsula part of the jungle was prosperous as long ago it was colonized by white pigs. These pigs were armed with better jungle animal warfare and infact had even colonized the whole jungle. Being a peninsula it was easy for the white pigs to sail to other parts of the world which made into pig stys. Thus this peninsula became prosperous with the white pigs who found this beautiful part the best to loot. The jungle managed to get independence and the white pigs had to leave. Then being pigs they did leave the jungle in a mess.
The white pigs instigated the goats to have their own jungle and they got it divided, which was called Porkistan in memory of the pigs that ruled it. Though Porkistan is a pig sty now, they try all tricks to disturb and create mayhem in the main jungle from which they divided from to form a separate Jungle. The main jungle with a wide diversity of animals became a strong power in strength. The goats in Porkistan could be kept at bay just by the animals in the main jungle breaking wind. There was no need for heavy armed tactics.
Then were the jackals from North West, shrewd, cunning and conniving to ensure only they got the most of the jungle prosperity. They were good in trading so prospered. They were not carnivorous and ate only green vegetation, but their intentions worse than carnivorous animals. Cheat other animals to their last drop of blood for their trade and pay them peanuts. If all animals were to contribute for the entire whole jungle upkeep, similar to taxes what humans pay, these North West animals knew how to hide and avoid their part of contribution. These jackals used to only communicate in a language called Gandoh
The peninsula animals losing power in their ground and in the Central power house of the Jungle, has now turned to target the jackals as they made their way to the ultimate power in the entire jungle. The peninsula animals have now embarked on Gandoh Hatao. Breaking signboards in Gandoh language and demanding their signboards in Bark language. Little do they understand that the jackals employ most of the animals. Just because the peninsula animals had a Tiger as their mascot, they need to realise they have the meow of a cat and they are barking up the wrong tree

The Canada India political theatrics
Comments by the Canadia PM on India is an US orchestrated byte conveyed through Canada. As Canada is a puppet to US. Take for e.g. the Ukraine Russia War. Why is US not getting into the war and offering only logistic support of arms and ammunition? If they can send naval troops to Taiwan they could have sent their army to help Ukraine, like how did for Kuwait. US lacks military potency to confront Russia. As Russians are not something US can ever counter in direct warfare
With India's evolutionary growth, reiterating evolutionary growth and not Modi led growth, how does US tackle a growing economy force? Since they lack the part of the human anatomy for direct confrontation with India, use their puppet Canada to do the job. Use Canada to screw India, not realising it is India who has the largest economy screw driver in the world.
So all Canada can do is be the ventriloquist Puppet in the hands of the US. It is a no.brainer where does a ventriloquist put his hands into a Puppet to have the Puppet speak. As Canadian politicians are mere tools in the hands of US government and not Canadians. So Justin is walking himself into the bin of history and will be discarded next elections. No sensible Canadian including the Sikh Community would be voting for him or even for the Khalistani political party headed by Jagmeet, who is a nothing but a political terrorist. A similar fate awaits Modi walking to towards his Waterloo. Heading a government that is economically suppresing it's own citizens and diverting the attention to religion, caste, creed and linguistic division.
Sikhs in India or anywhere in the world don't align to this miniscule and impotent terrorist group of Khalistani movement. Sikhs are the ones who gave the maximum no. of martyrs to fight for the Independence of India and post Independence in the armed forces. The ones migrated to various parts of the world have gone to seek greener pastures and contribute to India's growth. No self respecting Sikh would ever plot against in India, even in thought. Canada has not learnt its lesson from the Immigrant backlash happening in Europe. So instead of giving terrorists protection, Canadian government need to thaw its frozen brains to reality, that this would effect the normal Canadian citizen soon. Just to stay in power, makes no sense shaking hands with terrorists who will shake Canada one day
India's heady feeling of its big economic potency is actually a viagara stimulated erection by the media. Reality is India's Banking sector is in the pits. Financial scams and even even allowing these financial terrorist to flee. Where did they all flee? To UK
Has India the courage to make a similar statement like what was made of Canada. Where they stated that it is a country that shelters terrorists. So is UK sheltering Financial Terrorists from India
In the war of the elephants it is the grass that gets trampled, so to with the political orgies of global politicians it is the ordinary citizens that gets crushed

G20
The manifesto reads of G20 as mentioned in the picture above. Irony or a joke is India holding the current presidency? It speaking of financial stability and economic global cooperation?
Lofty idealistic utopian ideas to fool the world by a bunch of elected leaders and even crown prince of a kingdom. Crown prince can understand, there is no choice for the citizens. The citizens are fattened with doles and benefits and literally use foreign labour as slaves majority from counties like India, Pakistan, Bangladesh and Phillipnes. None of these have any rights or granted citizenship. Yet India is hosting this nation for what? Oil? Trade? At what cost? Cost of dignity of its own citizens? Or are even citizens a part of the slave trade?
Then elected leaders of democratic countries. Either the citizens of these nations are fools to elect such idiots to power. Or are these intellectual capitalist backed power hungry monsters, whose primary motto is only power and money. The power is channelised towards financial gains of these capitalist Industrialists, corporations and individuals. These in turn fund political parties of these leaders to keep them in power. Some of these alleged democracies have their leaders tweak their constitutions and laws where they stay in power till power last in their biological bodies. Could this happen or is it a plan brewing in India also?
It's all about money and nothing about humanity. It's about which side to take amongst warring nations to the extent even if one of them is wrong in waging war they are supported by nations for commodities. Like gas from Russia. A nation that is weaponising North Korea with arms and satellites?
Cooperation? Another mystery and a trillion dollar question? Trillion dollar as million dollar questions never got answers. India and China are in a viral state and many a times even physical state of war. Huge land mass of India encroached by China ever since India got independence. Then even showing new maps of more land of India as their land. What is India doing or what can India do? Still cooperate with China? China building a string of pearls destinations all around India's sea borders. This string of pearls is for cooperation or is it a offensive military noose around India? What is India having in defense against it? Cooperation, diplomacy and dialogue? Has these strategies ever worked in any conflict in history?
Financial stability. India's banking scams are in public domain. Then is legalised scams where loans of the rich and powerful are waived off as NPA's. Wondering if NPA stands for Non Performing Assets or Never Paying Assets as it was no brainer from the beginning that these loans will never be paid back. PMC Bank scam in India has driven depositors to suicide and hundreds killed with no access to their own money in a Bank! And India wants to steer global economics? Start with Banking Sovereign security in India.
Then is major infrastructure projects awarded to select two or three compamies (read individuals). Is this financial stability development of a nation or of few individuals?
Is G20 a group of nations or Goons in power of these nations?

Table manners at the Last Supper
https://youtube.com/watch?v=5UMftg_RPhY&feature=shared
After watching the above video, was wondering what table manners or etiquette did Jesus instruct his disciples to follow? It was just a simple get together of the disciples to have a meal and for Jesus to show his humility by washing the feet of his disciples, before the meal.The whole episode which is today what the Christian Church celebrates as Mass.
Doubt Jesus would have had rules on how to break the bread and drink wine. Neither was their any shiny chalice or theatrics of bells chiming when he broke bread and poured wine. Presuming he would have poured it for everyone as there would have been no altar servers or waiters. Neither color coded vestments donned by the disciples.
A God in the old Testament saved Israelites whose homes doorpost were marked with the blood of a lamb, against the wrath of God of death on the Egyptians. Is the faith in that God so weak we feared a virus? So is our faith not even that of a mustard seed? Can understand laws of the land forcing Churches to be shut. Then post opening even water fonts where the laity used to dip their fingers in the holy water and sign themselves with the sign of the cross, where shut. The same holy water which allegedly cleanses the original sin and baptism and sprinked on holy occasions and finally sprinkled over the dead, was considered unclean, unholy or fear of contamination. Where were all the faith healers? Or were the healing services a filling service to the coffers?
From where or who on earth is Cardinal Oswald Gracious to decide and dictate on how we can now receive Communion? A Cardinal who has a Police FIR against him, not yet defrocked? How is Sunday attendance of mass suddenly dictated as an obligation. Are the collections running low? Or are his instructions from some white man in the Vatican. A Vatican who has not uttered a word on the killings in Manipur dictating terms to India on how we should conduct our religious practices? A Vatican that is shielding criminals with sex crimes including pedophiles and land scamsters and financial fraudsters? To make it worse even collecting money from India for the Pope's office expenses, called Peter's Pence collection. Ideal would be calling it 'Clergy Defense' collection or 'Judas Pence' to pay for the legal costs of criminal Clergy.
Still cannot understand how Communion served in hand to the laity by a priest cannot transmit a virus? Are the hands of the clergy so clean? A hand that has a virus can transmit to a hand or a tongue. Maybe a better idea would be to use tongs and serve it in on the tongue or hand.

A rose by any other name......
The latest in India is of a religious furore of anger, on some South Indian Politican allegedly making derogatory remarks on an aspect of Hinduism. Whether he was talking of evils of the religious practise or insulting it in totality, is a matter of debate in Parliment!
Diverting tactics of the government from core human issues to protecting religion is the easiest escape route, tested and tried and proven successful. Rapes and rapist let scot free, Manipur burnt ro ashes, River water sharing of Cavery with Tamil Nadu under dispute, China infiltrated into India, floods across India and the destruction it brought alongwith it, all this is irrelevant and insult to a religion is more important. Which God in any religion needs humans to protect His or Her identity or supremacy?
Inflation, unemployment, air index quality, corruption, Mega projects being gifted to one individual, Opposition being hounded by enforcement agencies like EOW, ED, CBI, Income Tax, those from opposition who switch loyalties to the governing party has all corruption charges dropped. All this now diverted with naming the country from India ro Bharat. Many places have been renamed because it is Colonial names or named after Moghul rulers who allegedly have destroyed Hindu temples and killed millions. Why only change names?
Will demolishing and bring down structures built by the colonists or Mughal rulers be next? Will the Taj Mahal, Rashtrapathi Bhavan, many forts built by colonists or Moghuls be demolished? The Red Fort a Moghul construction is where from the time of India's Independence Prime Ministers have given their Indpendence Days speeches. The first Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru's speech 'Tryst with Destiny', even echoes now. What will be our destiny going forward? Just change of names? Not that Congress either did anything significant for India's destiny. Even if done most Institutions was named after a family (not a party) that governed India most, post Independence.
Will changing name, change anything? Proving Hindu Temples existed where some Mosques are allegedly built by Moghuls, and planning to demolish them to restore Hindu temples. How will this help? Will this restore pride of India's rich past? What about the future? China has built the largest bridge that connects China to Hong Kong. What have we built? The largest statue in the world? We can't even build good roads and pride to have reached the moon, whose surface would be better than many of our roads.
Finally it is now to rename India to Bharat. Why just rename? Why not get back all land that once belonged to Bharat, or atleast parts of Kashmir what is Aksai Chin which is under Chinese control and POK under Pakistan control? Don't just glorify India with a name change but regain the glory with what belonged to India and then name it anything.
A rose by any other name would smell as sweet. No one has yet renamed a rose. Even if ever done, no one will want to call it a lotus for sure.

Happy Teachers Day
Who are we fooling by wishing Happy Teachers Day? Especially in today's world and time, where wishes are are more hollow, shallow and empty with the virtual greetings. Moreover it is free and even free of movement of our physical bodies, besides our thumbs.
The class of the of the students who may have graduated from high school till late 80's, maybe the only group that may have experienced Teachers with class. Class where the profession was with nobility and not just profitability. Class where it was love and genuine concern for the students. These teachers did not need a label of being teachers in an International school. Today schools in cities are upgrading to International curriculum. In the process human values are getting down graded. It is tbe rich who can afford this level of education.
How many of the ISRO scientists graduated from International schools? Still they landed a space craft on the moon. Today education can cost a trip to the moon literally if you calculate the total amount of fees spent by the elite and rich in these International schools. This in turn is churning children with a capitalist or materialist mind set. So to with the mindset (and no heart) teaching faculty and with the mushrooming coaching classes for students.
Being from the class of the 80's I still ensure my respects to few teachers who I could reconnect with. These teachers joy can be felt when they are called on their birthday or any special occasion. Was so happy and felt blessed visiting a teacher in hospital before she could die Many teachers till the late 80's who depended on their teaching profession as income are in dire striats today. Those who are comfortable could be because of a working spouse or children doing well and taking care of them financially.
So this teachers day if you are a student of the late 80's from high school, thank your teachers for the happiness you are blessed in your life. To the teachers of today, I can only wish them wisdom to understand the nobility of their profession. Remember you are not only educating or teaching students. You are creating world's future. The state at which the world is today, wondering how many teachers would be happy in future? Wondering how many in the world are happy?
The teachers of the yesteryears don't want greetings wishing them Happy Teachers Day. They would prefer seeing their students making the world a happier place.
(Photo in this blog is a very old picture of teachers in Don Bosco High School Matunga. A school I take pride to be a part off)

Caste mindset or mind in a cast mould
Rahul naam tho suna hi hoga? Rahul naam tho suna hi hoga dialogue in the movie Dil tho pagal hai may have been inspired by your name. A name for Shahrukh Khan's character in about 8 movies
With you as amongst the most loved and respected TV news anchor in India and that to of amongst the most reputed TV channel, of which you are also the Editor in chief. Needless to mention you being one of my favorite news anchor, and how I await to watch you deliver news and debates.
Unfortunately a debate on conversions and caste system in India many months ago you were completely contradicting yourself.
https://youtu.be/CHKOu7U7l9E?feature=shared
Then trying hard and been extremely successful in getting the words you wanted out of the panelist. Then with Dr. Subramaniam Swamy on a debate for a topic like this, you can have the cake with icing and eat it too. His views on this subject is ether his way or u take take the highway. He has always been of his self imposed alleged belief that all Indians were once upon a time Hindus. From where did he scavenge this information only God knows. As before Hinduism there were human beings that walked, talked and prayed in this land. Even today there are tribes who don't associate with Hinduism. If all Indians were Hindus then I believe in Darwin's theory of evolution of all human beings evolved from monkeys. So should we continue to behave like them?
You contradicted yourself so bad that if there was a caste system of news anchors you would be on the lowest caste. That's besides a Google search of best news anchors in India does not even feature your name. If AI progresses Google Search would come a response, 'Rahul naam tho suna hi nahi hai.' On hand you kept emphasizing and reiterating that caste system especially untouchability in bad practice in Hindu religion therefore the Dalit community which has been the worst effected should be given reservation. Not once you said this practise should be abolished and treated as a crime and say in 10 years all reservations and caste based benefits be abolished. Like how Sati, child marriages in Hinduism is abolished.
Your weak point of view and weaker argument was if Dalits converts to another religion like Christianity and Islam, they should not get the benefits and reservations. So what you are trying to emphasize and reinforce that Hinduism is a religion with a bad practice of categorizing people on caste levels to the levels where some can be untouchables? Yes Christianity and Islam may not have a caste system but can than that change the social system and social status of the individual? Caste system in Hinduism was based on the work of an individual. So if a person from some mideviel times was priest he was a Brahmin, if a warrior then he is Kshatriya and generations that followed still continue to belong to that caste. That is besides the point there would be Brahmins who are not priests, so would they lose their caste status. Then Kshatriyas who still pride of the warrior ancestory of sword wielding soldiers, and today many who would not know how to use a kitchen knife.
So with Dalits and untouchables so if it is a religion that is keeping them backward what is the government doing? Compensating them to remain in tne low class with reservations and other benefits? What about the ones in the lower class who manage to make it in life, will they give up the low class status to not avail.of the benefits? Will the goverment stop giving them benefits if they come to know they have prospered? So this has nothing to do with religion. If it has then let Sati and child marriages be legalised? Let's not get selective.
Yes Christianity and Islam does not have a caste system. That is in the eyes of their God they are one. They are not discriminated in the places of worship or get killed for drinking water from a community well. This does not mean that their God will make them prosperous and society will still continue to classify humans in races, class, religion and creed and subject the weak or minorities to atrocities. Even the President of India spoke of atrocities against Christians
https://youtu.be/h3haSEGypMY
Even when the Constitution was made, caste system was planned to be abolished after 10 years. Then continued for vote bank politics.
Then thanks to news anchors like you who are still anchored to the lowest class and caste of news reporting. Your mind is in a cast mould from the past

A promise on Friendship day
Friendship days
After over five and half decades my experience of friends
0 to 5 years anything that looked like my size was a friend
5 to 10 years everyone around my age was my friend
10 to 15 friends were hangout buddies
15 to 20 friends were ones who had same vices or virtues
20 to 25 friends changed as their route of life was different to what you took
25 to 30 friends thinned out as it was all about making it life
30 to 35 then it was comparing to where your once upon a time friends were
35 to 45 trying to race to reach where your other successful friends have reached
45 to 50 Realisation dawning that what am I running towards too and not running towards a friend in need
50 to 55 Realising that very few have been friends with you irrespective what you have become
Going forward ensuring I treasure the ones who stood by me and reaching out to the ones I ran past by or tried to run ahead of. Instead of pondering who are my friends, introspecting to who I have been a true friend.
Do regret friends I have lost due to misunderstanding and egos.
So I don't want to wish you a happy friendship day but will try to be source of happiness in your life and thank you for being a source of happiness in my life as a friend.

Feast of St. John Mary Vianney
St John Mary Vianney is the patron Saint of priests. I consider of who I am, what I am, the good in me (if there is any or whatever left) and where I am primarily due to my upbringing by Salesian Priest and Brothers in my Boarding School days.
For me God is something I am still seeking or exploring. But I have experienced God in the priests and brothers in the Boarding. How do I thank them? Many have left the earthly abode. The few I am lucky to be in touch with, it's only words and words all I have to express gratitude.
With the evolution of the Church and even dilution with splinter Churches, the role of a priest is now under challenge and even threat. Vocations to priesthood are decreasing. To make it worse are scams, frauds, sexual involvement of few in the clergy, making the vocations viewed in a bad and shady light
So today don't just wish priests a Happy Feast, be a partner in their journey. Youth today disappear from Church after confirmation only to be back when getting married or dead and needs to be buried. Priests are not marriage ritual performers and extension to an undertaker.
Not many would even welcome the idea if their children want to join the vocation, besides the point not there are many. So is there a solution in today's dark world for the priests to be a light? Definitely if laity was allowed our part in partnering, engaging and decision making in the Church there could be road ahead.
Priests need to realise they are representatives of Christ and their lives are a reflection of what Christ did. For Laity it is should be a reflection that Church is not a refueling station to fuel one self spiritually with a Sunday Mass or visit when planning to get married or wash the sins of our children in baptism or ensure they are administered with Holy Communion and confirmation or have near ones visit to inform priests when we are dead and need to blessed with final rites.
We need to engage, partner and be a part of the Church. Raise our voice of dissent and not just bow to diktats from a white man (or men) in Rome. We are the Church and decisions need to be taken democratically with the involvement of the laity. The priests need to display courage and speak on wrongs within the Church and not just hear my wrongs in confession. There was an article proposing that even Bishops and Cardinals need to be decided by the laity, which should be implemented
https://catholicherald.co.uk/popes-cardinal-advisers-seek-to-involve-laity-in-choosing-bishops/
So I take this opportunity to wish all the good leaders of priests, the silent workers in the missions or silent workers for the underprivileged, a Happy Feast of St John Mary Vianney. Thank you for nourishing me spiritually.
For the priests living in sin repent or it won't be long before the laity will whip you out of Churches, like how Christ whipped the traders out of the temple.

From one God to another
Manipur carnage, violence and vandalism is no more the major news. Though the flames of burning Churches and homes are still simmering. So the God that resides in a Church is no longer news worthy? Now it is to prove that a place of worship of Muslims was actually a place where a Hindu God resided once. So a Hindu God needs human beings to restore HIS dignity and restore him back to his place?
All the euphoria, expression of pain, condemnation, prayer meets and video uploads by the clergy on the Manipur violence would be doused by media giants. They will now be showcasing the war for their Gods abode fought in court by Hindus and Muslims. The simmering fires in Manipur will never be doused. The actual fires may die but the sectarian targeted families especially children will be burning with haunting memories for a long time to come.
Everyone wants to know why the Prime Minister has not spoken? Has the Pope spoken? Has the Nuncio the ambassador to the Vatican spoken? The Prime Minister will not speak and even if he speaks what is expected to be achieved. The Church leaders and the laity need to have the courage to speak out loud and state vociferously that the community will never vote for a BJP with a Modi or Amit Shah in power or even not vote for BJP or even not vote for a Congress with the Gandhi family at the helm. Even if the community or the clergy don't speak the community are anyways a victim and target. In a city like Mumbai and once upon a time Catholic majority residing area and known as the Queen of the suburbs, Bandra; Church grave land portions were earmarked to be demolished for infrastructure development? Where is the elite group of Christian clergy leaders who felicitated Modi in Kerala? Where are those voices now on Manipur?
Then what is the Catholic Church doing? Collecting money for Pope's expense called Peter's Pence? Does the Pope's office need money from a minority community in India? Why should money from India be funneled to Rome for the white supremacists decide what to send to us? Peter's Pence is a scam which can be googled and so too Vatican Bank scam and needless to mention millions of dollars paid to settle sex court cases of the sexcapes of the clergy. Is this expense Catholics in are made fund from India? Then cheques collected are in the name of 'The Archdiocese of Bombay.' Practically most or all cheques are collected in this name for any other disaster relief. Where is the escrow account to bifurcate the expenses?
Where were all these Indian clergy and other organisations and associations when Nuns were being raped by Bishop Franco Mulakkal? Secret family of Bishop William? Sodomy and sex crimes of the clergy in India? How different is it from the carnage in Manipur? Is it because of the mass numbers of people effected in Manipur? If the parable of lost sheep mentions of the shepherd trying to find the one lost sheep, then these black sheep in the clergy, actually wolves in sheep clothing need to be kicked out, defrocked and ideally stripped naked.
So the government has shifted focus from one God to another God, can the Church atleast focus on the laity who pray to the God they preach. Not just prey on them for lust and their money.

God does not answer 'your' prayers
I prayed to God for wealth
Instead he gave me health
I prayed for a palatial house
Instead he gave me a home with a beautiful family
I prayed for material possession
Instead he ensured food on the table for my family and me
I prayed for precious stones
Instead he melted my heart of stone
I prayed for a happy life
Instead he wanted me to make people happy
I prayed to God to end war
Instead he asked me, "Who started it."
I prayed to God for good climate in the world
Instead he asked me, "Who ruined it."
I prayed to God for religious peace
Instead he asked me, "Who made these religions."
I prayed to God to eliminate hatred
instead he asked me, "If he hated me. If not why am I hating."
I prayed to God to eliminate jealousy
instead he showed me, what I am blessed with
Angry not a single prayer answered, I told God "It would have been better if I had prayed to the Devil."
He said, "Devil would have granted all my greed and I grant exactly what is your need."

Bloody fools
You gave them right
They gave you fright
You gave them freedom
They put you in a doldrum
U gave freedom to practice religion
They destroyed your region
On their religion you cannot speak
Their religion is ultimate and yours weak
You welcomed then as an refugee
And they ensured you are not free
They block your streets to pray
Enjoy benefits from the taxes you pay
Hypocrisy is their book cannot be burnt
Is their God so weak that takes brunt
If you burn their book or insult it
It is death to the one who do it
They can kill, wage war, rape and destroy
But you cannot do anything to their ploy
Your laws give them protection
Their laws give you destruction
Same God followed in lands of prosperity
Give them no shelter or even humanity
They want your laws of humanity
and bind your life with indignity
You reaped what you sowed in history
Colonizing and driving civilisation to penury
Then you needed them to build your land
They made sure on your land you will not stand
You can't reverse the clock
They have reversed your flock
They will multiply and ensure their rules
Too late for you bloody fools

2+2=5
A video at the end of the news article link pasted below explains the header. Coming to that later, some things that strikes a strong resemblance is
how different is religion from politicians?
Politicians promise us a good life if we vote them to power. Monks, Spiritual Gurus, Maulvis or Priests promise us an even better life if we follow what they have to share or say (even dictate)
Both ways, political or spiriitual the world is in a bad state but the political or spiritual heads are the ones only that benefit or profit
Take any political or spiritual leader's background and the ground on which they stand today. Most don't even stand on the ground. They are usually on an elevated platform or the ground they walk laid with a red carpet.
The followers of religion and politicians are always in a virtual hope. With politicians a hope the next they will give them a better life and their spiritual leader will help them to deal with life. Practically do they deliver? Then they ensure you deliver. That is you deliver payments to them. The Politician will extort it legally through tax and keep the axe of the tax dangling over your head. The spiritual leader will not ask or extort. They become an addiction which you end up hooked and you just pay. Some charge with fees for their talks, some have collections, most have people who just give out of fear of God and His wrath if they don't pay!
So both Institutions are a Casino where you spin the wheel for a good life or a peaceful way of life. Few reap a jackpot which is basically to entice the rest to keep spinning the wheel. Ending getting ground in a grinding wheel where you are spinning round and round through life mundane routine. Neither peaceful nor happy.
The politicians and the spiritual leaders laugh their way to the Bank. The Politicians will keep giving promises and the Spiritual one giving hope. Hope with anecdotes of 2 plus 2 is 5, and they end up with One Hundred and Ten Million of Indian Rupees that's around a Million Dollars PLUS, if the below article is true.
