Hum anek hai aur anektha mein humari ektha hai
The recent statement at an election rally by the honorable Home Minister, "Hum ek hain tho safe hain", meaning if we are one we are safe? What is this, one, is a trillion dollar question? Trillion because India wants to achieve a 5 Trillion dollar economy, and if this question answered may add another Trillion?
Election rallies have become so divisive that none speak of Infrstructure, Health, AQI, Education, Sports, Job creation and basic human needs to lead a quality and dignified life. It is all about dividing a nation on religious lines, which has failed. Proof election results in Ayodhya where the Ram Mandir was built. Now it is reservation assurance for backward class and tribes? How many of these backward class and tribes has any government brought out of their alleged poverty? If they have been brought out have they been declassified from their class status?
Reservation status was a part of the constitution. It was planned for a period of 10 years, which got stretched to 78 years after Independence. So was it reservation for backward and tribal class or was it reservation for politicians and their parties ensuring a vote bank?
At the same time Christian missionaries for over 2000 years have been uplifting people out of poverty and educating tribes of the rights are termed as converting people. Alleging as converting people and luring them with food and money? Are not freebies, monetary benefits not converting people to vote for a party. Is not banning beef forcing a religious dietary habit on the rest including Hindus who eat beef?
Now the latest threat of banning conversion. Over thousands of years that Christianity prevailed in India and if the religion was converting people, how come it is a minority religion? That to around 2%? This confirms the religion was not into converting people. Instead Christians converted society and upliftment of education standards in India. Many of the politicians across parties had their education for prestigious Christian run schools, including many from the present government. Sad on their stoic silence to what is systematically and continously being done to the Christian community, especially the carnage and inhuman brutality in Manipur?
Christians persecuted for their religion? A religion where Jesus Christ, son of God was crucified and killed, by the state, for his interpretation of doing good and being good! Teaching to offer the other cheek when someone slaps you on one cheek! Christians will continue to be non violent and follow their Lord's prayer that teaches them to forgive those who trespass against them. They were always forgiving and only kept giving.
Many secular peace minded non Christian citizens may also have a similar belief to forgive those who trespass against them. They may forgive but will never forget and will definitely never vote for party that trespassed a nation of its unity in diversity. Hum anek hai aur anektha mein humari ektha hai (We are diverse and united in our diveristy)

If you don't vote....
There is no corruption in Bombay, then why are we still complaining?
There is no bribery in Bombay, then why are we still complaining?
There is no bad infrastructure in Bombay, then why are we still complaining?
There is no bad transport facilities in Bombay, then why are we still complaining?
There is no pollution in Bombay, then why are we still complaining?
There is no water crisis in Bombay, then why are we still complaining?
Bombay is one of the cleanest cities in the world, then why are we still complaining?
There was never ever flooding in Bombay, There is no corruption in Bombay, then why are we still complaining?
We should not be complaining if we are experiencing bad and otherwise to the above mentioned. It is because we are the cause for our bad experiences. We don't want to vote.
Or could it be we are voting for bad parties with bad politicians who represent them?

A hand that will save Bandra
When the candidate from Congress for Bandra West was declared for the upcoming elections, it was relief that that the hand symbol now has a face. It was joy to know the face was of Asif Zakaria. A known face and a better known human being. As in politics there are many popular faces but very few with humanity.
Bandra West is really fortunate to have Asif as a Congress candidate. Now it is upto Bandra West whether they want him to fight the elections or if they will fight for him and with him. A hand is weak without the body of citizens to support. Bandra was amongst the only spots in India that prided a true secular feel. This got threatened with graveyards of the Christian and Jewish community targeted for demolition for infrastructure development. If it was genuinely and really development it was understandable though not justified as there were alternative options. This was for a builder who wanted an access to his prime premium high end luxury building.
The Catholic Community had to come of the streets to beg for justice for the souls who were resting in peace. Those living in Bandra are nostalgic and reminisce of the peaceful and beautiful place that Bandra was. Proud to call it the Queen of the suburbs. What has been done to the Queen? Infrastructure raped with potholes? Footpaths where one cannot put a foot to walk? Manhole covers that death traps? Posters during elections and wishing politicians happy birthday? Some posters even titling the politician as Boss? Asif was, is and will always be a public servant and never claiming to be a Boss.
Asif is a face that is seen on the streets and rarely on posters during elections. Asif is a voice that does not intrude you a with a voice recording asking for votes during elections, but a voice that speaks for Bandra in the assembly.
Wake up Bandra as we had enough of a flower on a stick and time for us to stick together behind a hand that will protect and a face that cares. Do we want to pride to live in Bandra West or Bandra Worst?
Let's extend our finger of our hand to vote for the hand that will save Save Bandra.

Popelation crisis
Indonesians make up 3% of world population and their land density to the no. of people is cramped and 4th largest populated country.
Pope praising Indonesians during his recently visit to Indonesia, of having more children over having pets was completely insensitive and irresponsible statement. Definitely not called for from someone of his stature in the world.
Select the below link to open
https://www.indiatvnews.com/news/world/pope-francis-praises-indonesians-for-maintaining-bigger-families-questions-choosing-pets-over-children-warns-against-religious-extremism-2024-09-04-950443
Today the core of global crisis is population explosion. Leading to global warming with humans consuming more than what the earth can provide and resulting in floods, storms and other natural calamities.
This is the problem with most, if not all elected leaders, who skirt the matter of population explosion and make clichéd statements with no action. With the Pope he is not even elected. It is a coterie of internal white dominated clergy hierarchy system and not decided by Catholic laity. If the laity had to decide none of these jokers would be in the Vatican.
With population explosion being the biggest problem in the world today how can someone like the Pope even make such a statement? Then we had Pope Benedict that supported the use of condoms. This maybe justified claiming it was to stem the spreading of HIV. Then how does HIV spread? Primarily with promiscuous sexual behavior. So instead of preaching, teaching or educating on sexual behavior, the Church is advocating safe sex?
Why is Francis encouraging Indonesian Christians having large families? To evangalise and make it a Catholic country? Is it because of the effflux of the laity leaving the Church? Then the ones in the faith not procreating but only recreating with sex? Is it a problem that they prefer pets over having children? Pope Francis needs to understand the problem of population in Indonesia and not preach a sermon which would be termed a Popelation crisis.
Even God ensured he sent only his only one son to earth.
Then was another sexist remark saying it's "bad when the woman wants to be the man" during a speech at Belgium catholic university. If it was not for a woman there would have been no son of God on earth. Giving titles to Mother Mary as Mother of the Church a title given to Mary in the Catholic Church, as officially declared by Pope Paul VI in 1964, is meaningless. A woman can be a Mother of God but not the head of a Church? Forget head of the Church she cannot even conduct mass and have equal rights to that of a priest? Is that the reason they are called Nun, which sounds like none, meaning nobody?
Mary headed the disciples at the feast of the Pentecost, where the holy spirit descendant like tongues of flame on the head of Mary and disciples. Time Pope Francis controls his tongue and pray that the holy spirit descends on him with common sense as fire could burn even the little sense he has.

Goodbye Tata
Rata Tata's demise, would be a void that may never get filled, by any business tycoon world wide. With capitalist greed of business moghuls, it is just profits and personal consumption of materialism and ugly display of wealth. For Ratan is was profits which can benefit society at large. For him business was for nation building. A tradition that Tata Group always stood for. Something no business house can stand up to the towering levels of the Tata Group towards national growth, progress and humanity.
Philanthropical and charitable works of Tata Group is public knowledge. Ratan took the levels of reaching out not just for humans but for his love for dogs also. Stray dogs are not driven away from the prestigious Taj Mahal hotel, but given shelter. Simple act of reflective collars for stray dogs so they don't get driven over by motorists at night. In a dog eat dog world, here is a man who teaches humans not be like dogs, but to be human towards not just their own but also towards animals.
In a broken corrupt world, Ratan was an example of business ethics and standards. Not compromising on values of integrity and honesty. In India corruption levels are so ugly visible, with big businesses and infrastructure projects given as gift hampers to one or two business houses. Ratan ensured the legacy of the Tatas gifting back to Indians.
Shameless ministers, business men would be giving their hollow, soul lacking eulogy of how great Ratan was and how he was an inspiration, when under their collar it would be perspiration of shame. Maybe they need to wear a dog reflective collar to reflect on Ratan and how they can emulate him.
Goodbye Tata. May your soul Rest in Peace and may your life be an example for a world seeking peace, justice and humanity
