To The Best Of My Knowledge

 Good Day, All!

                        Defining work also, is not very easy. I had seen, during my pre-sea training at the HindustanShipyard Limited, Visakhapatnam, in the electric arc welding workshop someone welded on "Work Is Worship". This really affected me very much, even though, I was not really in a working mode then..

Good Day, All!

More on cams and followers later. But the analogy looks quite funny to me.

Good Day, All!

It is not that you are going to die one day and lose your life, but life is lurking outside somewhere to take you at an appropriate time set by it. So, it is your call now! Start running!

Good Day, All!

                          This is what SadhGuru's video about Marpa-https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Oi7eLmaL1DU and the period is 8th minute to 9th minute where he tells the part I am talking about. In my profession also after we join a ship we work may be only say 8 to 12 hours a day, but we may be called anytime during the rest hours also if any contingency occurs and people available on duty need more hands to take care of the situation and for the last 26 years I work in the management level and chances of being called off-hours were quite common. So it is literally 24x7 and, apparently, sleeping in a shed in the workplace itself. But the advantage(to me it may be considered a mixed-up one) is that while on leave or rather off-hire, after leaving the permanent roster of The Shipping Corporation Of India, you are free to do anything. Say 24x7 free time. To read, to watch movies, to socialize ( My duality allowed me to do it, even though I was not actually sociable within, as I said earlier, divided I stand principle!)

                                                                                           This is quite a similar situation to what Milarepa had faced; spending all your time seeking Dhamma and even other stupid things. By the way, I was never lecherous. Drinking used to make me soberer and literally a waste of money in case I had to pay for it. By the way, I am not into autobiography, or rather I do not believe in such a thing, as I don't think anyone can leave his life as an open book, where it itself is a mystery to himself!

To continue, if I think of adding anything...

Good day, All!

By the way, it seems that I have to do a bit of study on the US dollar bill!

Good Day, All!

                          Because the actual situation may not be known to me, an ordinary man. But the efforts by the USA (even though as policing), I feel was more effective. Contrary to an official and politically formed UN, many other countries also informally join the USA for the same purpose. These are my observations from the early '80s, particularly after being introduced to English music, rather than the movies or books. Grammy and American musical awards were the main focus points those days. I should thank my eldest brother, Mathew for creating this platform for me. The sincerity behind the song "We Are the World" was really unquestionable, but the effect based on charity service was quite or nearly ineffective, considering the target to be achieved. I do not know whether I have mentioned earlier, but poverty is always misunderstood. You lack something you really need is considered poverty and it is entirely understood. But here I see a lot of people who seek something better and more expensive, being literally snobbish. I am not actually against snobbery (a by-product of jealousy), at this stage as it feeds the world, better than any so-called good qualities and charity-based systems. It is read that Steve Jobs said that people can live on basic things and have no need to go for luxury. He himself had created the Apple thing, became an Icon and for a long on luxury business used to feed the world and lead many wars.

                                           The UN concept is a misnomer and was started by (?stupid) people who were too optimistic and euphoric. Even now the formation of the nations is not complete and hardly any changes in the developing/ developed nations list. I think it all started like an 'Alice in Wonderland' situation. Anyway, I can't say that things were too bad, or undo anything, as if things are in shipshape how can a blog writer spend his time. Response or reaction from my side may cause harm to me and not do any good to the world, looking at all the great people six feet under. Time is the healer and let it do its job. By the way, I am only on a relative platform and talking about the world as I see it around me (with due respect to Albert Einstein). I may be taking up the update of the Introductory title I published earlier, which may give better clarity on the scenario I am in.

Good Day, All!

Business as usual, Yet to start!

Good day, All!

Hope I will live enough to take up all these titles!

Best regards,

 Good Day, All!

Prologue;

1. Limitations of the human languages with the script (I can't say much about them without script) as they are only approximations and they must be the first science stream humans invented. 

This a tough one and definitely there will be further updates added to the introduction, which anyway shall be understood easily unless the language (I use, or all the human languages in general!) I adapt.

Let me tell you something, it is normally said that If you want to learn more, you better start teaching! Same I found applicable here that by starting to write, I came to know how much I do not know. And as I said earlier, so much had been written and so told or sung or shown I find it very weak to get into this territory and am with a fearful heart. Definitely, the heart is the heart of the matter than the brain, I feel! 

Now the name of this blog was chosen because (I think) after joining sea life all the time I had to sign a statement on my part, it was always included before my signature that the above-said details are true to the best of my knowledge. This made me confused because all that is written is true only and anyway later I realized that from my date of birth to my name to so many other things are made to be believed, then, I know them in the right way. But, later I realized that everything is that way, as the relativity thing caught up with me; or rather I caught up with it. As I said earlier, somewhere, please forget E=MC2 as we have so much energy here and global warming is on!

And the short description is given as "world and me within or me and the world within" is more like fanciful thought like what Alan Parson's Project song "Dream Within a Dream" introduction part. This thought stuck with me from my short-term free lessons given by a true teacher of mine on logical thinking and Hinduism, till he died. My way of relative thinking also helped in this regard but made my life miserable to the core as relativity asks you to be confused all the time and seldom makes you take decisions, maybe only the best part of it. Actually making decisions are not really difficult, but to stay on to make sure unforeseen difficulties are taken care of and retract the full team in case of a defect is unrepairable in the initial decision. I did not get the free Blogspot address as it was taken already and I wanted this to be my name so I had to buy one suggested by the Google domain.

The next one is the titles I use for my posts. Initially, once I started writing I made many drafts, with only titles, which would help me exactly what I wanted to write, as my memory is not very good. Finally, I got a job in my original and only profession and I decided to publish all these titles so that any readers who stumble upon them may get a rough idea about what I may be thinking. As around 20 years back, while working on a ship called MSC Amsterdam, I told my chief engineer that if I blurt out everything I know, all the people may come against me. So I decided not to put any tags at all to lead people here to my site. I got motivated by a Keralite woman's blog and I copied a lot from that site. I got a skeleton from Etzy and as do-it-yourself crazy, I did a few modifications with no previous knowledge, and thanks to a lot many people on the net. Then I found that whatever I write is going to be only a few paragraphs per post and putting short and ambiguous names should not be a good idea. Also mostly I post the title even when I do not have much time or mood to write, it will stay as an onus to complete someday. I was always comfortable with it and hope anyone who reads may not object.

The next issue is my competence level as far as the topics I am dealing with. Basically, I use bits and pieces of information I have read, heard, or viewed, and mostly I can not prove them to be genuine. I can not prove their genuineness by telling where they are written, or reproduced. I actually take everything I come across as a story and check their validity in my life, by logically assessing them. Particularly, History, which I never believe fully and with utmost care use only the skeleton part, and good and bad projected by the historian may not be accepted by me. I never go deep into any particular thing and inversely, I go with all faculties alone, as I feel the earlier method is straying from the objective of life. Forced to live an aimless (apparently) life, life was very challenging, and definitely, others may feel that I am the one who is straying! So please be aware that whatever I am writing is based on simple knowledge/ information specks I have conceived and logically analyzed and projected as some way valid thoughts. Please be very careful when using anything I write. I myself say that no one can be fully right or fully right and the same is applicable to me too. Also, you may note that I am not giving answers, but rather raising posers.

Also, the information I gained over my lifetime (Please do not count the first three years, which I found unusable as said by Sri Sri Ravi Shanker's Art of Living basic course I attended, nearly 30 years back, by reading and all other sorts, I am not sure how much true. Say like in early childhood read somewhere that Science is trying to make a list of things that they do not know, it is actually, about what they have only partial knowledge (yes, to the best of their knowledge they know everything about most, even at that time!). In my secondary exam, I managed nearly 82%, but in my social studies paper containing history and geography, I managed to score 59%. So naturally, here I will have to deal with history, a lot and I am relying on Wikipedia and other sources, and there are definitely other versions too. But then anyway I am not going to, take history with a pinch of salt, rather check its validity before. Anyway, history is nothing but a story about what happened, as suitable to the present, written by someone. So if an argument happens at my home, and if all three of us were asked to write about it, tomorrow, the content of each definitely going to be different. Also, India never got freedom, it only got partitioned, and there was a change of rule from the English and The Kings in India combined. I do not know but always felt that the main target was the Kings than the English. I can not make a proper logical support to that. More like an intuition. And the Kohinoor, the swords of Chhatrapati Shivaji, and all were not looted out of India.

The most important aspect is the datum line or the plane on which I specify that I am standing while making the blog as a whole. I will try to iterate on them, and I can not tell every moment where I am, as I myself may not be aware, and so many things will be contradicting each other. 

They are, Vis,

1. Relativity level with free will

2. All god and No free will/ Budha, Sri Krishna, alchemist

3. Layman, materialistic, pure

4.

Also, I have lived mostly, here in Kerala and the locality where I was born. All my posts are purely based on the outputs of this. I have visited many countries and known their inhabitants superficially. They were better off in many aspects and definitely worked hard on their piece of earth, and they mostly know what is law-abiding, and rule makers were good at their job too, I felt. Rather they are more humane. But I think I know why we are like this and I find my place if put some effort can be better than any other place and the adverse conditions will make me or my son a better human being on the run. People who seek monotony desert this country, and I don't treat them as a brain drain in any way. The basic thing in law enforcement is that there should be more than 99 percent of the people selected should be of high integrity and the ones to select them should be having 101 percent integrity.

 Good Day, All!

I think I was a bad learner of English or the so-called Indian English was non-precise and almost harmful. If the latter is the case then, I think we dealt with the English people badly, because of the incompetence in their language. And I do not know, if we really hate the English people, why many of us are still studying and earning in their land. And why I myself is not trying to stop this nonsense and make our country better. I can see a lot of jobs to be carried out. But I think, the Chathurvarnya concept had succeeded or rather reached the end of the road, and the system was such that spirituality was prior. And on the long run achievements faded out and people on this land lost their ability to do physical labour, or rather materialistic life. They had a dislike for blue-collar and want to do only white-collar jobs. As it is managing something to me is an inferior way of getting a job done, but here we all want to be managers.

Good Day, All!

When I was saying that I was not trying to amass money, power, and fame {corrected from, against; as later realised} it made me aimless or on a path of being an intellectual, or worse, a social reformer. I prefer to shun away from the word philosopher as it is considered as a bad word here and never read any philosophers and I don't know what that word means. All along the word wisdom was evading me. Off late wisdom, the word used to come across me when people saw my hair going grey, tell me that I have aged. Aged, said in Malayalam, resembles wise and I feel happy to answer that, yes, I have aged! The second occasion was while reading The Alchemist and I always thought at the end of the book, that anyone acquiring a treasure should earn enough wisdom to keep it and Santiago was forced to make a long journey in this regard. I can not say he made it or the treasure. In any case, there is no scale to measure wisdom it seems. Olden day fables have wise men and women and the world I see now have few people heeding to advice little. Most harming obsolescence, from my point of view. And a noticed abundance of intolerance in the part of the world I live. It is not that people apparently from all over the world tried to change this scenario, and all failed it seems, and ran away for their life. I feel they all tried their best in a symbiotic human society! Maybe genetic, racial and other differences inherent, or accumulated caused the task herculean. The development of engineering, in production, transportation and communication should have made things easier; or maybe it is doing the job now assisted by many, including ones from here. By the way, reality from my perspective is quite confusing me considering the period I go to sleep/ go out of the time axis and am brought back naturally or forcibly**. Somewhere before I said the present is not important, but maybe the present is only important and it creates the space for the other two, or rather past works as a basis of all actions.

From my part, I too, have travelled a bit, because of the profession I was forced to choose because of a stupid attitude toward the education system prevalent, or, maybe the profession chose me! Anyway, life was difficult because of my ignorance and luckily I was guided by a lot of good people from all parts of India, working with the National Shipping Company, Shipping Corporation Of India. And it was my maternal and paternal company and my Alma mater. I feel sorry, but it nullified all sorts of education I gained earlier. The only exception may be the eight-month training I got at Vishakhapatnam Shipyard, which gave some theory tips regarding shipping to me, which stands valid even today. I am not saying that most of these institutions or universities were bad in any way, but just that, I was unable to gain from them and try to accept it as my error. So I have travelled to most countries and major exceptions are South America, Germany, North Korea, Scandinavian countries etc. Holy land was Haifa of Israel, a walk on the streets in the early morning of 1997? Never bothered to visit Rome or London. I know only the people who use the street like drivers, pedestrians, shopkeepers etc and found all people nice. Found the Japanese extremely helpful nature and capable at it, but the Chinese in 1992, in the remote area very much incapable of it, not that they really liked it. The most beautiful place was Venice. Felt very sad to see Hodaida, Yemen in 1997 and it was pure coincidence that A ship which I have taken delivery, as Chief Engineer, on behalf of The President Of India from Colombo, went to Yemen to do an evacuation duty at a political upset, in 2014. I was omitted, and I thank God for that, as I was too tired for the operation after a stressful delivery. Another vessel accompanied and after 4 years, I had to do a stressful job on that ship too. A lot of things happened after I joined the sea, and leaving the SCI, after ten years of service caused a lot of changes, particularly after the marriage. Prior to that, I was on a Japanese-built crude oil tanker, and at the mid-sea on the Y2K day. My minimal knowledge of electronics helped me very much to sleep peacefully, but now I realise the seriousness of the issue. At this stage, I feel in a way that an early adherence to Christianity led me to a tough life scenario, but a Bahai-like attitude which I took even before knowing much about Bahaism. I visited the Lotus Temple of Delhi in 1984 but was not knowing much about Bahais at that time. Nor when I set foot at, Haifa, because of a  machinery failure I had to ditch the idea of visiting Jerusalem.

So I feel, wisdom also is a hypothetical word, and terms like wiser and wisest may not be valid. Maybe you reach a plane of wisdom and keep moving. Only that makes the Alchemist distract Santiago from trying to save a clan and at the same time comes back and heeds his words. I feel that Alchemist was a wise man, and I don't know what is philosopher's stone,  elixir, panacea and all!

Also, even now, what is India, as a whole, I do not know, but I am sure it will be good. This is a war-torn land, just because it needs to be. People have lost memory and the ability or patience to memorize. Maybe many people associate only Hinduism with this land and India. India and Indian in English to me are more to Red Indians of Mexican mountains. I am not sure, but Hinduism contains the major chunk of old times Higgs Boson all world together called Chathur Varnya which I feel succeeded, but the war between polytheism and monotheism collapsed everything. Maybe Dravid and Arya came out? God is still evading and may continue to. After all, we need only a proper answer, scientifically proven and we do not have to control, view or know God! Materialistic science is good enough and contrary to what I said earlier, Murphy's Law will keep the system moving more than any law!

**This sleep thing I wanted to take up as many may take it as my imagination. Normally we consider as a state of rest for the mind and body and sciences of all times stipulated some minimum requirements of time of sleep. But I consider myself as a twin left/right helical spring of mind and body as in an internal combustion engine valve and alive and asleep are just winding and unwinding of these springs. It seems to me that the sleep time, actually the winding happens and conscious self may be doing the unwinding. Still looking a bit fancy? I don't know, this sleep thing is quite slippery and may be worse than death. It is with us and still we can not figure it out. By the way I have been talking about God, but I have no idea where the present day science stand. May be it is not fully understood by a single entity. Like a locker with different key combinations?...

Dear All, Good Day!

This actually belongs under the title "Crime and Punishment" and I thought I might take it up separately here, too.

I noticed a serious error in this adage, and I noticed it early, but I want to believe that I noticed it later than many. To say that to forgive is a Godly affair makes us an excuse not to forgive, stating that we are only human. In our language, Malayalam, there are so many adages, and we can get away from any situation by stating a suitable one. And personally, I had some aversion to the adages, and we have one, meaning that there is no chaff in the adages, making them look infallible. But later on, I realised that the chaff here is intended for the rice grain. I noticed that the good grains are to be conditioned for sowing purposes, and if you want to consume the grain, then you have to process it, and the byproducts and the grain itself can be used as suitable. That way, the adages also have to be analysed properly before putting them into use in any situation. Otherwise, it may cause more harm than good.

                                                                                    Also, I feel that the Malayalam I am familiar with is mostly unstructured, and history says that German Missionary Dr Herman Gundert had made a Dictionary for Malayalam, as he observed this issue, and it is said to be in the 1800s. But the Krishna Sthuthi, Njanappana, which is written by Sri. Poonthanam, a Brahmin, in the 1500s, looks so well structured. Quite confusing! Now, if you read a Malayalam newspaper, you may notice that absolutely no punctuation is used, and one who is trying to learn Malayalam may find it very difficult to comprehend the actual meaning.

                             Okay, I agree that to err is human, and this particular adage apparently means that it has caused some harm to other human being/s and also it was unintentional, clearly from the wording.  So the one who made the mistake wants to be forgiven. I do not understand the logic behind this. Any error is a failure. Just try to take a corrective measure and try to nullify the effect/s as much as possible. And I may add that this is the time the one who caused the harm has to become calm and fearless, and maybe other attributes as needed. Normally, we have to keep some fear within us as a safety aspect till an error occurs. English uses the term sorry at this juncture, taking responsibility for the situation. Only a fearless and calm mind can say sorry effectively. So now the stage is set for remedial measures and, if any inadequacy remains, which can not be compensated/ re-instated, then one may seek forgiveness for the affected one, and he may become Godly for the one who caused the harm, which the person doing the forgiving may never be aware of!

Regret that earlier I had posted a similar title and I may remove it.

                         Again in this Biblical era, the devil has succeeded in injecting jealousy into Eve and I hope you know what happened afterwards. If you don't know, then too, I am not going to tell you about it. Many had capitalized on it and Steve Jobs made a fortune out of it. By the way, it is just a byproduct and the real effect is actually more than I can explain or rather I know of.

                   Then our great Protagonist and Antagonist enter in the form of Kane and Abel. And Devil finished off his job. Definitely, he is bad, because he took more time than God. Of course, he was more productive, sustainable and destructive than God!

To continue...

Actually, nature runs and survives on concupiscence and that is the most important thing, and going into detail from a human point of view from sage Vatsyayana to chastity belts is not an easy thing. In paternal patriarchal systems, the father is the most prominent figure and not knowing who one's father is is a serious situation. So multiple partners for a woman can lead to a precarious position for the off-springs. Also a premarital (or without whatever sort of responsible arrangement) child may suffer in many ways. Add some ego issues too. 

                                                             About all other living things, which can move, have enough know-how to manage. Non-moving things like trees and plants, nature itself takes care of this using living or non-living media. All said on the basis of my knowledge of materialistic science.

To continue...

 Good Day, All!

I remembered something and just jotted it down. Money may be defined to some extent as a byproduct of action and is in an energy form, which may be converted into any material form which includes legal tenders too. They will act as energy cells which again can be used for action or inaction (both are equally important; but good or bad depending on your vantage point, and if you can manage do not look from others' vantage point). But the main product of action is not yet perceivable by me... 

But I think the idea corresponds to the story of the birds caught in a net, flying together with the net. The Indian word Yoga too in a way relates to that. But at the same time, it has nothing to do with the enlightenment of one or all. By the way, down here, people are crazy about light and  I may repeat that light and darkness, both are dangerous and in this space-time frame, a suitable mixture is needed. Even pertaining to knowledge, lack of it also needed to stay grounded. Just imagine if you know your past and future(the present does not exist as time is flying), do you think you can do anything? Forget the capability of the human mind to sustain that condition. Coming back to the birds trapped; birds understand better and their language may be superior, but we are left with Babel; no need to believe in the bible, just consider it as a fable. Actually, that is what we are!

To continue...

Few threads need to be elaborated;

About the story of the birds, it was not a team work like we know of as the there was no competition going on and even the one who cast the net is not in the picture. But we normally go for the team work and do it well. But who knows; the team which manage to fly away with the net may be the loser, I don't know. But beware spies etc. Or rather Trojan horses and other malwares.. 

 Good Day All!

I have mentioned this in an earlier post. Here I shall try to elaborate on this. I am just posting all these thoughts to remind myself. Regret any inconvenience caused. 

Thanks and best regards, 

George A P,

Erratum.. Changed the word testaments to commandments in the title.. Regrets. 

Good Day, All!

As far as I know, only Gautama Buddha arrived at the conclusion about it that it is not there. But he had to retreat for his own reasons. Anyway, no one can hang on to that, either way. If it is true, being aware of it can make the living much more effortless. But only a superstitious one can accept that theory.

                     Here in my part of the earth the period I have been living, people of modern science have a group called Logical Aruement (YukthiVada). They say God is not there and challenge theists to prove God is there as if they have disproved in some way that God is not there!

Good Day, All!

Yet to start...

A teaser... Santiago looked like an arrogant boy to me... 

Good Day All,

As usual, yet to start!..... 

Dear all, Good day!

And I think it is going to stay, stay much longer than any other religion. First and foremost reason; the occult science associated with all other religions is not there, or not evident or visible. The basic foundation of materialism was laid by Gauthama Budha and further strengthened by Jesus Christ. Sometime before I published a title saying there is either materialism. It was in an absolute theory I had at that time. 

         Now coming to the other religions, please don't think that they are dead. Even the ones of Aborigines! It may be the actual foundation and like the roots of a tree, which no one will see or even bother. And that way it is good as otherwise, it may destroy the tree. And I don't think they are made not to bother about external acknowledgements. Maybe they get acknowledged by the tree! People at the top of present-day science also maybe doing ditto. They make the ground on which our science stands. This world is pure magic, realised. Science had struggled and lot many people and living beings struggled to make it up here. I have a copy of Harper Collins's "How Things Work" two-part book. I could never read even a bit of it, but it is enough to know the mental and physical strain people have gone through. And definitely, you can't see them as magic; that is the beauty of it. 

                                               By the way let me mention human language here, too. I feel everything material and living have a language. It may be considered similar to the machine language of a computer. Even a foetus in the womb must be using that. After being born he/ she takes 2 to 3 years to adapt that language to the human language being used around. Maybe the story of Babel in the Bible happened in real. 

                               There is a story about magnetic levitation. It says if the wheel was not invented and levitation had been invented earlier world could have progressed much more. No comments. Similarly, even though I have no idea about the machine language of the mind, our languages are pretty blunt and even a high-end intellectual can't do any dissection(thanks to Sri. Sadhguru!) 

To be continued..... 

PS. I still manage to do a lot of surgery anyway, break idols, put them back in shape, and may even manage to give life to them! Just joking... 

Also noted is that Murphy's law has to be shelved as it has an occult nature, as it looks to me. On second thoughts, Murphy's law can not be termed as a law, as it is a distorted version of the postulate in Physics that there is no perpetual moving machine. And it is the foundation on which physics is built. Whether it is invalid in any space-time frame needs to be investigated. Also if we go to the etymology of the word cognizance, electrical and electronics engineering it became literally impossible to grasp the logic behind things just by looking. And I think Murphy's law popped up at this juncture as electronics engineers claimed that their inventions are not fallible. But anyway I am not going further with that too will be an endless process.

Shall continue...

Addition.. 

Thinking is not an action or inaction as I feel and it is a natural process. Or if it is not followed by physical labor. Even Jesus confirms on that and failure of sciences managed to achieve Religionhood, I feel is that. But the present day material science has both and learns from both and manage to co-exist with all. So I said this one is here to stay. And may be Heaven can wait...

Good Day, All! 

He went to the blackboard and started scribbling!  A spoiler. Relativity is a destroyer, frigate and many more. There is an old puzzle where you are asked to make a line drawn with a pencil on a piece of paper without using an eraser or a pencil on that line, smaller or bigger. Note that the wording is not to reduce or to increase. So the answer is to draw a line of different lengths on the paper, near the old one. So you say, Universe is expanding???

 Dear All, Good Day!

Just wanted to say I am alive! I was trying to write one under the title "Destination Death". Turned out to be tough, and a lot of work came up to keep me alive. It is easy to write something fast and publish it in a jiffy. But this one is making me go through a maze and I wonder whether I will be able to make it to a publishable level. But I am not planning to say die, as usual. Hope all is well so far into this 2023 AD, for all of you; again actually is immaterial as I had said in the title.

Thanks and Best Regards,

PS. I may take up the title issue in detail later.

 Dear All, Good day!

                                 I drafted this title by the end of August, and as I thought I should give a short explanation, I did not publish it straight away. I knew I was publishing just titles, which are seemingly stupid, crazy or even insane, without any elaboration. Actually, when I started this blog, my intention was to try my hand at writing and thereby earn some money as I was jobless at that time. I soon realised that it is not going to work out, but in the meantime, I have already made a lot of titles, in such a way that it will be easier for me to elaborate on them later and also I will remember these topics. At that juncture, I got back my job, and I decided to publish all these titles and stopped writing. Later on, as I got time I started elaborating on the ones I could and added many more too. But immediately after making this title, my life had become quite tough and I couldn't write at all. I hope I will be able to continue writing from now onwards, for some time. I am planning to set up a new foundation for my thought process in the next title and then take up elaborate on earlier titles and add new titles.

Merry Christmas and a Happy new year in advance,

 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)!

To continue...

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,
