Doubts...

"Papa, what is inflation?" -questioned Rocky.

"My silly boy, you won't understand. Go and play with the neighboring kids" -replied his dad, reading the news paper.

Unlike all other boys, Rocky is a quick-responding boy. He always comes to his dad with a handful of doubts, which, according to his father is over-matured.

"Why papa, U.S has no any contenders in the international economic-level?","What actually is the intention of the terrorists?" - are some of the samples of his doubts.

Now-a-days, Mr.John maintains 100% silence whenever Rocky questions. Rocky goes out to play with the other kids, without murmuring anything!!! Silly boy! What could he do???

Rocky returned from the neighbor's house too early this evening. Dad amazed, "Why my boy...? Are you O.K?"


"Papa, nobody is there to play in Chintu's house; everybody were crying. Some were telling that Chintu's papa is very serious..."


"Eh? What's the matter?" -Mr.John stood up from his sofa.

"Somebody had kept a bomb in the metro train..."

"Papa, my company kicked me out. I've lost...!" -the elder son at the other end.

Mr.John has no words to express that he was shocked...


And, these days, Rocky has got answers for all his doubts...!

Venugopalaswamy temple & KRS backwaters.

Image
After a fantastic road trip to Melukote, we decided to have one small trip to KRS Backwaters of Mandya district and also to Venugopalaswamy temple. It was 4th of May. I was sleeping, after having the lunch at my hostel mess. Holiday's nap! Aha! By default it will be from 2:00 pm to 6:00 pm, unless and otherwise there is a call from a friend for a movie! On that day also, I was in a heavy sleepy mood. By 4:30 pm, my friend Praveen called me up and asked me- "Hey, what if we go to Venugopalaswamy temple today only?" "This guy is a screw"- I thought. It was already the end of the day. Thunders and lightning were there in the sky. "Hey, it's already 4:30pm. What if it rains?" - I asked. “Hey, you can't see the sunset in the morning! You have to go in the evening only. It will be more interesting and amazing" -Praveen at the other end. "Alright then"- me and my roommate decided to join the "Let's Poyi" troupe again...

Logic and common sense

Image
Logically speaking, 2+8=5+5. But, my common sense says that this is not true in many cases. -I'll prove it. You just need to have the common sense to criticise or think over it. There's a task to be completed in a day. There are two people to finish the task. Both of them have the same capacity to do it. They have to divide the responsibilities equally. If one does 20% of the task and the other does 80% , the result will be deviated from the required. So simple! There are many theorems proved so far. Most of them are just ideal and that is logic. Archimedes said- "give me space to stand 'beyond' this earth; I'll lift this whole earth in one hand!" Yeah, it's logically perfect. Does it make any practical sense? Common sense should always overtake the logic. What do you say?

Does 'she' need reservation?

“Pithaa rakshathi kaumarE bharthaa rakshathi yauvanE | puthrO rakshathi vaardhkyE na sthree swaathanthramarhathi || “ This is a good old Sanskrith sentence. It means, a girl will be brought up by her father during her childhood, cared by her husband at her young age. Her children will look after her at her old age. The last sentence and the most  misunderstood  sentence is the last quarter of the above shloka. It simply means: “Never let women live lonely. She has to be taken care of.” After all, what do you mean by reservation? A simple definition of ‘reservation’ is, creating a separate channel for the ‘weak’ people. Another question arises now. In which fields does ‘she’ is weaker than ‘he?’ May it be educational and political kind of ‘social’ fields; or it may also be righteous, religious or moral fields. Our culture has always given certain rights to women. In all our worshiping of gods, with her husband, there is a specific work for the her. (FYI, a...
