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.

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?
