To The Best Of My Knowledge

 Dear All, good day!

Good day, all!

Let me just start this one, at least, and never finish it! 

                      By the way, Justitia is a Goddess and those guys are not supposed to err or fall for sycophancy, favoritism, and all those sorts of things as far as I know. As I said earlier, they have to follow a certain modus operandi. Look at the sun God who is working day and night, at the same time the system is arranged so that we the, lesser ones get some time to sleep. So suspecting Justitia in the matter of justice must be a criminal offense. The lesson to be learned is never to compare humans with God! This is the same feeling I had while reading Ayn Rand's "Atlas Shrugged" maybe 30 years back. Even when I promised that in case he shrugs, I will get down from this damn thing blah.. blah... was posted earlier somewhere. Because, from Ayn Rand's point of view everything is going haywire, but Atlas may feel that things can't be better than this!

           And as far as I know, vision can grasp or be able to listen to so many things compared to all other senses put together. Even recently, I was put through some relatively tough times and I had to tell and really feel that I can listen with my eyes. Can detect lies, even when they are said and you hear them using your ears. How stupid of human thinking to deprive Justitia of her vision, at least, symbolically. By the way, all these are for people who like and learn from stories and believe in Gods and Demons (at least theoretically)!

Good Day, All!

 Dear All, Good Day!

                                     Maybe the person who said this adage was pointing at a lazy person. But a lazy one may be physically inactive, but that need not represent his brain's activity. Also The Devil, too prefer some brainy person, so that his plans could be understood well and executed. Instead of the idle-brained one, I may go for an irresponsible(to the society) and unethical one. To be continued...

 Dear All, Good Day!

                                     This verse along with the parable by Jesus about the rich man and Lazarus affected me in my early childhood, say 7-8 years. These in a way led to my aversion to amassing power, wealth and money, as much, all along my life. Even now I take the same stand. 

                                                          I don't know how, but I never felt that my father who was one of the richest in my village will go to hell, maybe, because he was empathetic and a philanthropist. He had only 5 years of schoolgoing, but I always found him quite wise. His knowledge level regarding international affairs was also quite high. I still don't know how, but those days, every month 'Soviet Union', the national magazine of the Soviet Union and 'Span', the national magazine of the USA were received by post in my home. By the 1980s both stopped, but.

                                             But the Bible affected me in such a way that, I remained a partisan of the poor. Only by, say at the age of 48, did I realise that the survival of the poor was always taken care of by the rich with their actions than my, menial financial support and good words.  Slowly it dawned on me that, the Sun, Wind and the Rain clouds give us rain which is very vital. Water from the sea is purified and collected and showered over lands which require them. Even the rich are doing the same thing. The system they run gives employment and money to people so they have their daily bread and more. (I may write later that employment is more important than the wages you get, for a good human being). even when the rich go luxurious and snobbish, a lot of money gets permeated down to lower strata.

                           I started supporting rich and poor, and newer stand of finding a way to differentiate between good and bad. Simply neglecting, religion, region, language, skills, fame, power, and whatnot! I am only a nationalist only to see the nation is remaining a nation, otherwise for the world. I think I have managed to convey something and may add something later, which shall be updated in the revision notes.

PS. All relative to the present days and I can not say exactly, the validity of these views at the time Jesus lived, thanks.

 Good day, All!

                           What I meant to say, basically, is that If you don't judge yourself or others for a substantial period of time, you may lose your inherent quality to judge. And it may lead to a situation, where, you may have to call upon somebody to make judgements on your behalf. So the said threatening verse will automatically become valid. Hope the situation is clear to you. Also, I am in a way, have used the ambiguity of the English language in my favour. The 'You can go ahead' - a term I used to have more than its literal meaning, but practically too makes you go ahead in your life!

                                                          And also people make mistakes between judgement and execution. Actually, you can practice judging on a regular basis, from different vantage points, without making the execution part. The person or situation you are judging need not be aware of your thoughts. Actually, every decision you make is a judgement and generally, the ability to make a decision is known to be good quality. If you are afraid of judging, how can you be a good decision maker? For my part I make decisions very rarely and when it is absolutely necessary. I normally go with the current and I know it is a little bit risky. Or maybe, I more or less hold my position, and rarely swim against the current.

 Good Day, All!

When the ship M V State Of Tripura, owned by Shipping Corporation Of India, arrived in Haifa a day in 1996 late in the evening, for a short stay, I wanted to go to Jerusalem, taking a French leave. I was working as the first assistant to the Chief Engineer, who was an elderly Malayali, settled in Chennai, Named T B Srinivasan. But after berthing the main control room air conditioner failed due to a shortage of cooling sea-water supply to the system due to chocking of the pipeline. We needed it to run prior to sailing out from Haifa and I told my chief engineer to go and visit Jerusalem and I will stay back and get the job done with my crew. So we finished the job by 0200 Hrs the next day and I just went for a stroll on the streets of Haifa, without knowing anything much about Haifa. By the way, I am very poor in History and Geography and always in the engine room or accommodation and never had to see the navigational maps, even now I can not tell which country/ continent in which part of the spherical thing. But my son of 18 years is good at it and he clears my doubts easily. So as I have mentioned in my earlier posts somewhere, I visited Lotus Temple in Delhi and came to know Bahais too. But I didn't know when I set my foot at Haifa, it is the headquarters of Bahais. Now this much as a prologue and let me come to the topic.

                                    Baháʼu'lláh claimed himself as a representative of God and what Jesus Christ used was never too conspicuous. Either way, it was good enough to bring fear in the bad guys; by the way who is not bad here? So all went and killed them. The clever ones who were sure of the end result stayed calm and got away without any blood stains on their hands or mind.

Dear All, Good Day!

                                    Another tough one; I do not know how to start and go through it and end it. Anyway, I will give it a try. 

The first part is easy and looks quite down to earth. As all can assume it is about suicide. Anyway, for me, there is no word suicide exists. For whales and such animals, I can accept. But as far as I know myself and other people I have come across, there is no suicide possible. It is a clear case of murder and the society around the victim is the murder made possible. Ones closer to the victim are more responsible. To be continued... 

 Dear All, Good Morning from this part!

                                        This title actually, I wanted to put it under the post "Root Cause Analysis..." but decided to take it as a new post and may get rid of the other one. 

                                             The term attracted my attention by the book by Fyodor Dostoevsky, which I never could read and do not know the essence of the book. Actually reading Herman Hesse's books in the late 80s, holding the book in one hand and the dictionary in the other hand because the translator wanted to use accurate English words for the original German ones, caused an aversion in me to read translated books. And I always thought that the book shall be telling something like punishment's unsuitability in the justice system. But later referring internet I came to the conclusion that it is not.

                                      Now let me have a look at the root cause analysis and the no-blame culture of the Japanese. To me, it came while working onboard the National Shipping company of Japan(Nippon Yoson Kaisho; Japanese Postal Corporation), and any failure onboard the ship is investigated to find the root cause( For a believer, land up with the God, but I think Japanese are safer that way!) and involved parties are not blamed or punished so that the truth may come out. On the basis of these corrective measures in the system or additional training given to the crew. Worst case scenario the crew member may not be employed and he will be free to work with any other company. This I found a beautiful Justice system, which will enrich the world!

                                                                      Now the next question to myself is am I a law-abiding person. The answer is no! Just because to be a law-abiding person I should know all the laws myself or have some reference medium with me always, which should provide me with the answer within an adequate time period. I don't know the laws of my land or have been to many countries and am totally unaware of the legality or legal lacunae involved. Only my common sense saved me to write this from my home, alive! The onus of this situation can not be put on the constraints of language- please note the point.

              Now let me jump forward and tell something which may be made clear on the way. Now the symbol of justice used is Justicia(Blind-folded or not) and Themis and they definitely represent the Justice like many as in the case of Jean Valjean. But presently, as I can see sitting here, we should change the symbol to God Nemesis. Retribution is the in thing and Justitia and Themis may go to Hell! I think, again from my point of view, we all go for the criminal to support the victim. We don't realise that the first victim is the criminal itself. The complainant is only a secondary victim. What led the criminal, a human being to do something nasty is the failure of society. Symbiotism is supposed to be an inherent quality of human society and if fails all efforts should be taken by the system to do the corrective measure. All over nature, it's there and even the parasites and their victims all follow this if you look deeper. Only humans have the capacity to break it because they seek more of everything! It's basically the Judaism working, God/Devil combination. We may have to find our way without beating any of them! The rules to be followed are theirs; there is nothing good or bad, again the relativity wins!

                                               So when somebody commits an offence and is brought before the judiciary, it is very clear that judges/ lawyers/ witnesses and all related won't do such a thing. Why this particular person had done it that is the issue to be investigated. Instead we, if possible kill him to make the complainant happy, that too for his/ her preconceived idea. Whereas all the issues or most of them as a result of the offence stay unattended. Frankly speaking, this system is the oldest maybe and quite rusted and weak. Do good and go to heaven and bad go to hell. And we say we have progressed. 

                  The best part of the law is that at least religion insists on doing good, but our law doesn't say that, but implicitly gives some options. If you break a law and get caught and proven guilty in court you may be punished. Don't get caught and if get caught, don't leave enough traces, then you are a free bird! This makes the law armless or of the short arm. What a fallacy!

                                                        There is much more to say under this title, but I can't recollect all. I may append as it suits.

 Good Morning to all and Happy birthday to myself!

Extremely meaningful phrase I have come across. So powerful that it can be elaborated into many words ... to be continued.

 Dear All Good Morning!

                                        Respected SadhGuru gets zero marks in English for that! I always scrape through in English. Likes playing second fiddle everywhere, scraping through is always my intention, too.

      Fuzzy logic is nothing but making a logical solution for something fuzzy. Spies always used it. Presently, it is better known as decryption, perhaps not necessarily encrypted. Amongst humans, it is as old as a human rivalry.

Thanks and best regards,

 Good Morning All!

                                   Better Run to death or stay put and accept it. We started surrendering with all the green movements, but better start the white movement(which actually is the colour of death), and I do not know what it is. Better find out, if you wanna live!

                     I always knew that I am missing the point always and can't hit the bull's eye! Somewhere along we neglected the natives(Aborigins, Red Indians and many more). I always wondered why conquests and wars, and noticed that all done by proud and envious people and the title warning is more important to those of us and others who can surrender easily. And as usual, learn more from them and start the war again, because, there are a lot of proud and envious ones we do care for! There was a parallel reason for the conquests, that the natives get a chance to unite, or at least transfer data amongst themselves. We were like a spatula in their hands. And we act as their, spies, smugglers, police army and everything for them. We are slaves, still and Moses maybe was a fool, apparently. Maybe he never rolled and caught a lot of moss and considered himself, a mountain. No blasphemy, intended; or don't drink it raw, add some water, no, no; no real dihydrogen mono oxide, plain water will do!

      I wrongly said puppets and puppeteer earlier. but I feel they have a voodoo puppet for each of us and I do not know whether, the needles are simple ones, hot or poisoned or altogether. If so I am also under the spell and please don't kill me, please! I better say, they don't know what they are doing and I do not know what I am doing!

                                          I was always interested in names and to me, every word is a name and; no male, female, adjective, adverb, proper name, verb, etc. I was actually never worried about covid-19, but I was about the Name Corona Virus! Are we entering the doors of the Sun, or some life-form from the Sun is coming out to kill us? Whichever way!

                                                                                 So I am checking my side whether I am sitting on a throne and if so better stand till the natives' representative/s come. Applicable particularly to the three entities, got the special mention in the Thank You note somewhere before, Vis, Intel, Microsoft, and Google, Apple is okay, and maybe Steve Jobs will be their Alexander!

                                                                                              I am sorry I have to make repair work on a seemingly poor worker's Bosch cordless drill machine battery pack and definitely Bosch won't like it. Sitting, (sorry I am standing now!) at the edge of the world, why should I care!

 Dear All, Good Morning!

                                          Happy Easter and "Vishu"(New Year in our part of India- to anyone new to this word) in advance(many reasons, most important whether I will be alive to wish you the penultimate day). In the Hindi speaking states, they have an adage, that if you get frightened, you are already dead. I counter it by saying that the one who formed it was already afraid of death. For me, I am here to die and the target is death, and others decide whether it is a respectable one or not. But to me any death is respectable. Anybody's too. And I do not know whether I succeed as I can tell you a story matching this situation. While I was a junior engineer on a bulk carrier named M V GangaSagar in 1991, there was a table tennis board on the ship and the senior officers decided to conduct a match and I wanted to be opted out as I didn't know ping pong and the Master K D writer, a Parsi Gentleman also literally in the same boat. So the in the first match I had to play him and we both were trying very hard to lose, but finally, I won the match and he was very happy and even though I won the match practically but I lost in reality, only as far as I am concerned. I think I am deviating but can't help it. Also as I can say there are only suicides and murders. There is no natural death. And I am not brave enough to commit suicide and may God send someone to murder me! Not going to elaborate on it now, but. Sorry I forgot, two guys(brothers) WD& HO Wills were born much earlier to trap me and succeeded, and I am on the way slowly to become a cancer patient and die. Presently I smoke their Honeydew Gold Flake mini, I do not know how many a day! In between, they shifted the onus on Ardath State Express 555 ones. God knows why he deputes the English people against me! Even though I estranged lot of people on the way, but they have to die and come back to accomplish that, it seems, but they are also in the same trap as mine!

                                      Also, there is one more thing that frightens me is that one great poet of Malayalam, Kunchan Nambyar wrote a poem called 'Kalanillatha Kalam" meaning that the time when the God of death(Shiva) is no more. He elaborates on it and it is really frightening!

                                    Here in India most sages and recently Gurus try to differentiate the mind, soul, life energy etc, etc. I can not follow that because I respect modern science(except biology- I only believe in it, that too when absolutely necessary) also very much and anything outside the boundary of least distance of distinct vision and Horizon as seen by naked eyes. So I don't really care how many kidneys or hearts I have, till I am alright! So my mind is me and my body is its armour. All the sensory organs are given to me to protect me and not to use as a primary means of enjoyment. Taste buds are given to identify poisonous substances and now we are accustomed to a lot of poisonous things and we are enjoying those slow killers. Frankly speaking, there is no poison we can dis-avoid but we just fall prey to them because of our own stupidity. But definitely, they help us die and get rid of this body in case it becomes weak   Living itself is a pleasure even in severe conditions then why do you seek more of it! Then, what else to seek will be a good question at this juncture and seek whatever you feel like shall be the answer. Anyway, we come least equipped and want to conquer the universe and beyond and definitely, start with bread and butter, cloth and house, inbuilt procreational stuff without even knowing what it is. On the way, you will have to learn a lot to become wise or unwise. Ornamental stuff will always be there if find enough time.

                                                               I am finding this Grammarly quite disturbing and I gathered her along after Swiftly's predictions and now I feel like writing another "Bhajagovindam" like Swamy Aaadi Shankaracharya had written when he found an elderly guy teaching grammar whereas he should prepare himself for his upcoming death. Even Herman Gundert had struggled a lot to restructure Malayalam(Which makes a palindrome when spelt in English), and English also can not be structured from American English to Indian English to any English. Structuring is needed only for Computers and humans can manage without it.

                                                                                Coming back to the title, I feel that everything we feel is transferred to some signal and the mind does something very close to hearing and then deciphers it and sends out signals and feeling to the armour parts. Maybe adrenalin pumping or heart pulse rate or breathing rate changes, happiness sadness, happiness etc. That is why things like sadism, masochism and anything in between are there. Here I should cover another post titled "Vox Populi Vox Dei". Initially, I thought it is about a Democracy thing but later realised that it is about anything decipherable said by human beings past, present and future, as we can't understand other beings' language as far as I know. So whatever you perceive is heard by the mind and so the title. There are so many other things but I think my brain's registry is corrupted right now. Avast keep asking to buy registry cleaner for my PC, but I should ask them to make one for my brain!

Thanks for all and best regards and a Happy Easter,

Good Evening All!

To be started...

 Sorry, Paul Simon; Sorry Peter Gabriel! 

 Dear all, Good day!

             Now, about living, we do work to make both ends meet and some extra. Some do it for amassing wealth, and some for power or fame. But, most of the time, these three co-exist and make the one very happy. And many say we should seek happiness. So shall I ask myself, am I happy or unhappy now? Frankly speaking, I am not happy or unhappy. I am not content too. But I am comfortable, and that is what I want to remain most of the time. Occasional happiness and unhappiness are dealt with accordingly. If I want to be happy all the time, I should be addicted to happiness, and one single thing or instance may not make you remain happy forever. So like a drug addict who seeks the next dose when the last one has worn out, people seek devices to make them happy all the time. In my opinion, this is a disease case for a thinking human being.

                                                                             Now, working and earning compared to actual living and purpose of human life are coming to the point. But, unfortunately, I don't think that I have enough data and logical ability to deal with this. I will continue

Thanks and Best regards,
