Pentacost

As a kid the feast of the Pentacost for me was like relating to Casper the friendly ghost. Maybe reading too much of comics and less of the Bible. Then hearing the Bible at Mass and occasionally reading it as Masses made me realise that  Casper was man made ghost caricature to entertain and the Holy Ghost a spirit that is in all of us to ensure humanity in today's broken world. One man made character and another a form of God in spirit.

Biblical narration speaks of the Holy Spirit descending on Mother Mary and the disciples, as tongues of flame. This descending of the Holy Spirit gave the disciples the gift to speak in tongues. Which today is badly represented and a mockery by some clergy and some self styled Church leadership blabbering some gibberish. When it actually meant the disciples could speak in foreign languages or when they spoke in their native language, those hearing could hear it in their language. 

Today AI, Artificial Intelligence can translate any language and the person hearing it can understand. During the time of the disciples it was also AI. Almighty Intervention where those hearing the disciples preach could hear them in their local language. Not just hear but feel the spirit of God.

We all are manifestation of the Holy Spirit. The problem is instead of being tongues of flames that inspire, love and care, our tongues have become fiery with hate, anger, jealousy, greed, discrimination resulting in the broken world we are living in today. Literally broken and destroyed that we rain flames of destruction with wars that are raging across many countries. Including the geography where the Holy Spirit descended on Mother Mary and the disciples.

It's time we realised we are the spirit. The choice is ours do we want to be Holy or Evil or be Artificial? Or be entertained by an artificial comic character a friendly spook like Casper or stand up comedians that make fun of religion and we watch it over some alcoholic spirits. While the world burns and the spirit of humanity getting burnt

Vijay


Vijay, the name that means victory. And this was real victory of Joseph Vijay Chandrasekhar. An established actor and also the highest paid. When India idolizes Bollywood and its actors who fall short dwarfed in front of actors from South India. Literally dwarfed where Shahrukh Khan made a movie Zero, in which he plays a dwarf and a movie was actually a Zero in popularity. Another hyped actor who has a song which says I am the best.

When Bollywood movies flushed with money and best in technology end up copying or buying copyrights of South Indian movies. So low are their standards with the highest production cost that South Indian movies with modest budgets make the best and highest quality of movies Needless to mention the standards of talent and modesty of its actors. One such example is Joseph Vijay Chandrasekhar.

Thalapathy means General or Commander, and Vijay has proven to be exactly that. In the 2026 elections, his party, TVK, delivered a political earthquake that shook the foundations of the DMK (est. 1949) and AIADMK (est. 1972). By positioning himself as a leader who transcends religious divides—born to a Christian father and Hindu mother—Vijay has tapped into an awakened electorate that values merit over identity politics.

The undercurrent of this imminent victory is not just his speeches against corruption or the benefits Vijay has promised. The undercurrent is an awakened India or maybe just South India or precisely Tamil Nadu, that is not going to fall into religious divisive politics. Vijay is born to a Christian Father and a Hindu Mother. He identifies himself as a Christian but respects all religions and not wear his religious identity as a badge. 

Indians have had enough of this religious ideology be fed to them. They have now realised that it was Religion laced with poison of hate. They dont want to be dictated on which language is national language. Again something only Tamil Nadu had the courage to say no to Hindi. Soon this victory of Tamil Nadu will be a victory that will displace dynastic and dictatorial political regime. The victory which means Vijay, it has started in Tamil Nadu.
