Graphiti Eyes

Image
Nothing special, it's just what they leave on the walls before Retreat . Both the IDF and the Hammaas terrorists. Some reads " Victory belongs to the Jews " while Hammaas graphiti literature reads " We will slaughter the rats slow and steady. Some reads are " God is with us " while some reads are funny . I can't comment further. All these graphitis suggest that if war is to be fought on the walls, the war is over. What I am concerned is of children left with hunger and malnutrition in the war fetched areas. Both sides are so fixated to the idea of violence and sabotage. They fail to witness God.

Chequered Blood

The Holi in Gaza is making me very anxious. I pray for peace and humanitarian assistance to reach everyone who needs them. Volunteers from across the world and from every corner of the planet is anxious too to render their services to mankind beyond the fear of death. Journalists from all nationalities across different media outlets are reporting from ground zero, also putting their lives at risk. Diplomats from different corners of the world are trying to engage in means and forms so as to make a contribution to the crisis. Diplomacy is very limited and direct so as to achieve definite goals every single day. Big time diplomacy is yet to show results in a much more tangible way, nothing yet. Gaza , if not permanent ceasefire, needs a temporary ceasefire, I think Israel is smart enough to figure out Hammas regrouping . But ceasefire is absolutely necessary for those innocent who are at the margins of life and death. Both Israeli and Palestinian lives are precious and peace is at the co

What do one say with the discovery of mass graves in Khan Younis recently. Oh my God !  This is the most deep humanity can fall but there is one facet to the faces of the opposing sides both are cruel,can be more cruel especially after the 7th of October deadliest display of terrorism by Hammas. 7th of October style of offensive is unfortunately the new normal in the region. At the crossroads are the people of Gaza, West Bank and to a extent the innocent people of Israel as well. United States is also realising the humanitarian dangers involved in the offensives and accordingly sharpening it's policies towards Israel. Israel is definitely not liking it but it has lot of choices, some pretty nasty ones and Israel is treading ahead one by one day by day. God forbids I see no immediate end to the conflict. With each passing day there's new developments, all negatives I must say. I personally feel that United States of America needs to do a lot, it can exercise far more leverage th

Ek Jindari Meri, Sau Khwahishaan, ek ek main poori Karaan. Friends it means I have one life and hundred dreams and I shall live it one by one. And I know you all feel the same. The problem is we ain't that disciplined enough and that's the all story about it. But this song finds its origins in a Bollywood movie " Hindi Medium". Wherein students belonging to the poor and marginalised communities make themselves heard when given opportunity. One of the India's finest actor Irfan Khan who is sadly no more with us , has played a fantastic role in the film. Well now that I have touched upon Irfan , Irfan has touched upon me and I am loss of words. I would only say just one thing that there's no substitute for hardwork and discipline & the world awaits you. All the very best.

Staff Discount

I was dreaming 4.30 am in the morning and in my dreams I found myself cuddling a puppy I just discovered in the Mumbai woods. The puppy was calm , composed and wrapped in the rags. The dream was so real and happening with the breeze of winter. The puppy, I couldn't name because my dream was short and limited. His eyes was sparkling in the dawn of the morning and I spent endless hours just looking at him. I was recalling the music of the movie " Hatchiko " , the piano of anxiety about what is happening next in the movie. The movie has immense moments of painful scenes. I felt Hatchiko has entered my life.  Then suddenly I woke up to the sounds of staff Discount, winter special staff Discount and there was this face of the puppy with some sounds of the Christmas bells and there goes my dream off and on.

The mark of a man begins very early in life . This man falls in love a numerous times emotionally speaking. Finally chooses a woman as his soul mate. Having a mild form of depression was very normal for him in his primitive years which later developed into mood swings and Bipolar Disorder.  For the wife , it was a very challenging task which she accomplished with grace with some losses in assets of the family owing to the mood swings of the husband.But things are completely under control now and minor mood swings are still present in the family' s lives. For the subject i.e the husband,life has been very emotionally challenging . From major to minor mood swings, he has to shed off excess baggage on his consciousness and this takes toll on his willingness to live. He sometimes feel to end his life or he is more than willing to gradually make his wife, a companion in his small turnarounds he needs to accomplish or there are 100% chances of him getting sucked like the autumn leaves.

Scorching Summer & Musk Melon

This Summer 🌞 is Election Summer and everyone is getting high and num. Television studios are filled with political editors, commentators, psephologists and our very own intellectuals. The world is watching the biggest show of democracy with great curiosity I must say. George Soros , the BBC , Al-Jazeera and many others are watching the elections of India 2024 with greater scepticism I must say. They are all so concerned about India's Institutions , democracy and free & fair election component that I myself fail to consider. But I am a very informed, well educated Indian who trust the foundations of my nation. I am watching the Judiciary, the bureaucracy ( need to be sharpened and reformed , I must admit ) . I am watching the Parliamentary discourse which is extremely good ( if walk outs are necessary, bunch do find some political indulgence in it , nothing wrong I must say. But filing notice for discussions and then the walk outs and then posing in front of the statue of Maha

The enigmatic beauty of a full moon and a salty woman on the sandy beeches of Goa. Do you want the life to be indulgence of good food,Carlsberg smooth with a smooth sandy salt woman named Sara.but damn came down a missile on my mobile screen somewhere in Ukraine. Both Gaza & Ukraine are finally culminating something way beyond our imagination.I want to prepare for my stock market lessons and be proficient in picking the right stock to play with. You gotta be thorough with your economics know how during your school years. The West Asian crisis looming over the Indian Economy & Indian Economy during the election year is of not much of a problem because the public has already made up their mind about the party they would want to vote for. I am gravely concerned about the violence that may follow soon after the election results. Not all parties muster the strength and maturity to digest defeat. They are warning in advance that India will burn if they sense some match fixing during

The Skin of Blue Berries

Counting on to the parties of Israel - Hammas conflict 1) Israel 2) IDF 3) Hammas 4) United States 5) Egypt 6) Qatar 7) Iran and 8) The Palestinian Authority. 1) Goals are the complete finish off of the Hammas terrorist organisation, seeking hostages and reuniting them with their families, partly political objective and having a good bargain in exchange of terrorists and political prisoners. 2) Complete eradication of Hammas as a terrorist organisation. Also achieving some military goals against the Hezbollah in the north. Operating as a total termination machine until the political leadership says otherwise. 3) Operating on the principle of*One Man's terrorist is another man's freedom fighter*. I would rather morally stick with the charge of Terrorism. However justified Terrorism should never be supported or encouraged or should be supported or inflicted upon some one as a tool to fight for freedom. 4) The United States of America where all the diplomacy begins and unfortunate

That Logded Deep Inside the Brain

Image
After what has transpired vis-a-vis the Jewish Palestinian relationship which has been poisoned for most of the time since Al-Naqba.It is very difficult to digest such a Relationship on humanity scale. After that lodged deep inside the brain, Generations have to be evolved for a shallow workable relationship between Israel and Palestine. Thousands and thousands of dead, millions and millions being displaced. Lives has been disrupted on an unimaginable scale. It becomes extremely difficult in real sense,almost impossible for these two civilizations to come closer for peace and harmony. Millions of childrens being born in Refugee Camps , millions been denied chance and the only chance they have is to pick up a gun and fight a never ending war of oppression. There exists a very thin line between Terrorism and the fight for freedom and there's too much poison being harnessed which makes me feel that the proposition of peace is something next to impossible. Here I wish to come to the ho

Iran Israel Medley

Image
Just before writing this article on the Middle East peace crisis there has been an incident involving the killings of childrens in Gaza.This is not something new, its been a daily affair in Gaza. Hospitals are bombed while Israel feeling fear of HAMMAS terrorists operating from there. It's been a hide n seek game between the terrorists and the IDF. But Israel definitely using excessive force to demolish the enemy. The Central Command of the IDF targetting the enemy successfully and those fired less successful. The Central World kitchens is a living example of Israel's error of judgement. If we look at the civilian casualties, there is humungous statistics of women, children and men. More than 35 thousand civilian casualties is made to happen to smoke some rats out of their holes. I believe they all are on a holiday in Germany. The entire Gaza including Rafah is in the lenses of the IDF and any moment, any corner of the area is bombed with or without any warning. There is no res

The topic of discussion here today is the hummus served in Jerusalem East and West i.e the Arab quaters and the Jewish quarters.The spices with Olive oil is very tasty and continental. As an Indian I compare the Amritsari Chhola Kulcha with hummus with a disclaimer here that my views are strictly personal. Kabuli chana or the kabuli cheak peas. I don't know whether it bears its origin in Afghanistan, don't know. Kulcha is a special type of bread made of all purpose flour. In India during winters, it is very popular in the north of India. With lots of butter and a hot Chhola Kulcha is a treat to the stomach. There's one thing common in both hummus and Chhola Kulcha is that they are both ancient tummy fixers. Israel does not have a universally recognised dish. Felafel used to be the national dish sold on the street markets. It is a deep fried ball seasoned with chickpeas. The situation has changed now with more and more people with health conscious avoiding deep fried items.

This is about Godi Media, the lap media as coined by none other than our great the Ravish Kumar, Magsaysay award winner, the legendary studio to gutters reporter. Actually speaking this is about the opposite of the lap media. Today I am going to talk about Ravish Kumar, the torch bearer of the so called truth. His truths are concoctions of the famous heckler, interruptions, distortions and pseudo secularism. When he is presented with facts , he starts heckling the guest. I prefer to call it the ' Desi Daaru ' media because they are always doping an agenda. Now this Sherry media claims to be on a higher ground while talking about the quality of media in India. Jyaa taatat khalla...tyaa taatatach ? This the the Marathi idiom I would like to quote for this media. Then there are selected few intellectuals presented as guests for the Sherry Show and goes the press freedom, the institutions being abused, the Judiciary interfered with an so on and so forth. There are people in the upp

Time Catastrophe

Ringa Ringa Roses....... Pocket full of Roses.....ashhaa.....gushha......all fell down. This is what happens when you realise oopps we ran out of time. Particularly in case of students who plan to make it big in their competitive exams. The early phases are merry go round and nothing significant happens to cause any alarm in the student's life and their studies. It is only those students who lack discipline, worst outcomes are stored for them. I do understand that life takes its own course and any application of rules are matter of reality and the nerves of the student. We shouldn't put excessive pressure on our kids. There is a lot who are Natural Jon Bon Jovi born. Please excuse me for not mentioning the feminine counterpart. The story is the same. The same rebellion and the same reaching out for the skies with no rules of engagement. The most I dread is to see the outcomes happen before my own eyes. I know for one who is gifted and very talented and creative but has a habit

Dog bitten Journalists

Image
 These journalists are larger than life and think they have been subdued by a dog which bites no one else but them and they call it a Modi dog They think their suspecting type of journalism is true and others are glamourously sold. They are Godi media. Janab if they are lap you are a armpit shoulder media. If they are run by a lap , you are adjusted in the armpit. You are a Bagal Media which always suits itself towards leftists liberals. One of your fellow always does a rag stitch story on the present government and its milestones. He is so cunning that he would always present the government with half baked facts, not allowing the guest to complete and always presenting the story which is not tangential to the government position. These media thugs who are actually members of the Bagal Media are involved in disinformation campaign not serving their task of journalism. Always heckling the guest. They are number one hecklers in the business.

Jockey Pass A Needle

 I am back feeling shot down by nothing who is a sniper. I am back feeling finished as always on a quarterly basis. I am back feeling that one day my pussy cat will realise that I need to be out of the bed one day to walk the Earth and feel the dust on my face. I have grown old standing long on a starting line. I saw endless races passing through my chocolate face. I am fiercely old to make a start off my statusquo. I know I am changed. I am ready to contribute and I know I will bear my place in times for times to remember me stock by stock. I want to live through analysis and realisation of blissful knowledge. I am the making of God and ask my creator off one last chance to skip away from the sniper, earn her respect and live my life like the sands of ocean. I want to live in love and die in peace.

Ministry of External Affairs

Image
 The MEA is headed by Foreign Minister Subramaniam Jaishankar also known as S.Jaishankar. He is very intelligent and well read. He has authored two books while being the foreign minister 1) Why India Matters and the second one is 2) Why Bharat Matters. Both are a good read and reflections of MEA S. Jaishankar. His decision of importing Russian oil during the Ukraine War highlights governments concern for India 's Energy Security. Then showing the mirror to Europe was far overdue. He outlined India's need to be non-aligned and devoid of external pressures and that's how QUAD came into force. He reiterated that India has its own view of the world and India will pursue that goal no matter how much is the resistance to do so. On Pakistan, he stated India's stance that Pakistan is the epicenter of terrorism and any talks with the neighbouring country can happen only in the atmosphere of peace 🕊️ and tranquility. Talks and terror cannot go hand in hand. Although it seems, In

Ujjain South

 The Ujjain South assembly seat in Madhya Pradesh belongs to the incumbent Chief Minister Shri Mohan Yadav, who was selected as Chief Minister of Madhya Pradesh by Central Observers of the Bhartiya Janta Party after its victory in the State. He is the Chief Minister alongwith 2 deputies namely Rajendra Shukla and Jagdish Devda. After taking charge, the first thing he did was to ban loudspeakers beyond permissible limits at all religious places . Yadav said that the process of banning would take place as per the Supreme Court guidelines and will be carried out consulting all religious leaders. There are many more decisions he has taken in public interest of the State. He has also ban the open sale of non-vegetarian food items. People call him the Yogi Adityanath of Madhya Pradesh. Let's see how he fairs in the coming days.

Rwandan Genocide

Image
 Today marks the 30th Anniversary of the Rwandan Genocide way back in 1994. This was the period when 800,000 thousand Tutsis were slaughtered with machetis alongwith some moderate hutus population. Back then the United Nations security council refused to call it a Genocide. Later in 1998, during the visit of the American President Mr.Bill Clinton, Clinton admitted Genocide and regretted that the world didn't act fast enough to save the millions. Parallels have been drawn to the events in Gaza, as South Africa brought matters to the International Court of Justice's attention that past lessons have to be learned in resolving present potent conflicts like that of Israel and Palestine.

China India Tango

Image
After months of small shows.The time of a big show has finally struck between the relationship of the 2 fastest growing economies who are also close door neighbours. India and China has again locked horns on the issue of nomenclature of some 30 regions which the Chinese contest as part of their territory and are currently in Arunachal Pradesh of the Indian side of her territory. China seems to be a more aggressive partner to the tango while India maintaining a much more balanced posture to the tango. I heard the spokesperson of the Chinese Defence Ministry saying where does Arunachal Pradesh comes from? Well we now know where the recent nomenclatures are coming from?  Well so far the fight is limited to hand to hand and some has been very deadly I must say. On the ground it's peace from both sides. Let's see what is in store after the Indian Polls. Apart from minor to major skirmishes on the border, I don't think both the nation's got that appetite for war. Thankyou and

Bread & Crumbs

What we have seen so far isn't the worse. The worse is yet to come . Hunger, starvation and malnutrition is also unleashed as a effective weapon of choice to further demoralise your enemy. But the children in the firing line must be spared and special provisions available for them under international humanitarian laws and the rules of engagement must be applied to them. What I am observing so far is , Certainly Israel has a duty to defend itself and suck out each and every enemy from each and every nook street corner available to them and they are doing good. But somewhere down the line Israel is not mindful of civilian casualties. There is a saying here in India " Zakhm jisne Diya....wahi marham bhi dega " meaning whoever provides the wounds also supplies the cream. Childrens are in dire need of food, hydration materials and other medicines urgently.Some are perishing due to the lack of it. I see an opportunity for Israel here where it can stand out brave.

In April 2018, the Prime Minister and former President Sargsyan was removed from the government through what culminated as the Velvet Revolution.He has ruling Armenia since 1999 as I mentioned before.The Protest Leader and Opposition Parliamentarian Nikol Pashinyan succeeded as the next Prime Minister of Armenia.

Calculated Accident ?

The attack on the convoy of World Central Kitchens in which one Palestinian driver,one Australian and one Polish and many other nationals were killed. It has happened before with several aid agencies and agencies involved in humanitarian assistance to the regions of conflicts. Was this accident or implied sabotage the world is so inconveniently deducing especially by those who wants to give a chance to explain to Israel.Does Israel provide feedbacks after such incidents of the past. Very clearly GPS coordinates were shared,the logo of the missionaries inscribed on roof of the cars were explained,still such a mammoth incident happened. The Israeli ally the United States of America has called for an impartial and independent investigations to the accident.The Aussie Prime Minister has expressed deepest sorrow over the accident. The head of World Central Kitchens Erin Gore CEO based in Washington has expressed sorrow and issued a statement that "this is an attack on humanitarian agen

Al-Jazeera Greyed Out in Israel

Image
The Qatari Based News Broadcasting Satellite Networks has been banned by a special law passed by the Israeli Knesset. Now the channel has been banned or Greyed Out to broadcast from Israel. The broadcast has been against Israel's national interest says Israel. Israel accuses the network of actively participating in 7th of October Massacre and incited against IDF soldiers. It asserts that the network clearly acted against Israel's national interest. While Israel has been accused of targetted killing of the network's Gaza Broadcasting chief Wael-Al Dahdoud's son Hamza-Al Dahdoud. Since foreign journalists are banned to cover events from ground zero.Al-Jazeera is the only channel covering news from Gaza. I see the events escalating with the attacks on Iranian embassy in Damascus. Iran has confirmed the killing of a senior commander of the Revolutionary Guards.Also there has been an incident with the staffers of Universal World Kitchens wherein they have been struck by one

The Lit Window

  Today I am going to talk about a very inspirational family whom I observe from my window to her little window. They are always as per schedule and do everything together. As usual the husband is busy watching TV and the wife has a very interesting hobby of sewing and stitching old and new clothes.That I can make out quite easily. They have a brother in law who is like a very young lamb jumping here and there.I think he assist his brother in his Shop and they resemble a typical Jain family. The lady is also very fond of plantations.Her gallery is full of small to medium sized plants.The sunshine is also good to the side flat she possess.Coming back to her hobby of sewing and stitching,She seems to be very passionate about it. The furniture in her house is very simple and she does the household chores all by herself. She is thin and energetic. This is so far in the lit window. I shall continue with my latest series of lit window as soon as gather materials to report to the literature w
