So...

What did you want to do with me? Arrest me? Or send someone after me? Or...excuse me, I'm not so bright to think of other reasons but there could well be many.

Thanks m friend, for not wanting to act against an unarmed person.

That brings the question. . .was I really unarmed?

Okay, I will explain to you. I don't even read the Bhagavad Gita these days. I also don't take up violence consciously. Try to understand this well...what objective that violence achieves for the Kshattriya, non-violence achieves for the Brahmana. This is more of a responsibility than a strategy. Just as waging a righteous war is the purpose of a Kshattriya, achieving peace is the purpose of a Brahmana. You can hate me like my cousin, who says, 'I can't stand to look at him.' but since Aarjavam or being straight-forward is also a duty of a Brahmana, I have to say this.

Buddy, I really don't consider you as my enemy. I don't say this from a holier than thou attitude but because, like everyone, I'm supposed to love everyone. Seriously, I don't give a damn to anything in this life but I have to move on with life.

You don't need to like me. You don't need to love me. You are free to hate me. You are free to be happy.

Hi

Do not make it worser than what it already is.

I will never back-track.

Don't make it impossible for me to help you.

You are welcome to go to hell if you think I say this with arrogance.

If I make a wrong these days, I don't turn around - I just expect to experience the pain of one more negative karma. I have done a lot of correcting myself and I'm now too too tired to keep track of my mistakes. You cannot keep analysing after a point - the return on investment doesn't justify it. I have got the major part of my life course figured out and it's enough to get me across with some bruises here and there, every now and then.

My bro-in-law finds India bad. He complains about the dirt, the poor traffic regulations, the people doing business on pavements etc. What he wouldn't want to acknowledge is that India is feeding him now. He couldn't get a job in US for almost a year and once he came here, he got into a nice job thanks to a recommendation. I wonder why he doesn't complain about people getting jobs through recommendation in India while it is difficult in America. Ofcourse, Americans do corruption at a larger scale and white-collar service and executive jobs are more transparent. I crudely predict that he will get kicked out from his job in 6 months. He is at the height of first-time material success and that is when the hardest blow comes.

It has come for my sister. My sister and me are buddies now, atleast 50%. It has come after her hubby went to see a lawyer. And I was the messenger who has kept my bro-in-law from imagining that he can do whatever he pleases and did some counselling to my sister. My sister, for her part, has accepted me with some effort, who once threatenned her. The funny thing is, my bro-in-law is now where my sister was a year back. Occasionally, it is pleasing to see how people rise-fall-rise as expected and occasionally, it is frustrating to see dimwits walking around me with pomp and show. I was a dimwit once. When I feel all anger and hatred swell up inside me, I repeat inside myself 'Rama' to forgive, or atleast, forget those who offend me. I also repeat it as much as possible for future needs.  Personally, when it comes to devotion, Ramayana suites me more than Shrimadh Bhagavatham. Rama is as cool as moon and that is why he is called Rama-Chandra. I have got the air-conditioner sending cool air and my lips saying 'Rama Rama Rama...' as I go to ZZZ...

Allow me to volunteer

I don't intend to make money out of volunteering. I also intend to use my software knowledge for the sole purpose of helping out those who cannot help themselves. Please don't let me use it for creating a big headache for you. I hope you have enough honour in you to accept this. Thanks.

To OWS

If the OWS want a result like in Libya or India (I don't mean deposing the leader or putting the corrupt in Jail but get whatever good change that they need), they have to realize that they are not going to get help from the media like the internet, telecom or satellites because these are controlled by those who don't want the change. They also have to realize one more thing.

The time they spend protesting isn't productive time. They can also be crippled financially by those in power. It might be a small issue to sell a car or a poperty initially, but soon there will be nothing more to sell except oneself, which is something best avoided.

I think it would be a good idea if the OWS protesters rope in and collaborate with the NGOs. The problem today is job creation and proper wages. If the government isn't capable of doing it, OWS protesters can do it with the help of NGOs. NGOs are well organised in the western world and OWS has got some base by now. While a NGO is thought of as a well-off person helping out the not so well-off, the OWS protesters can create something that is in-between the corporate greed and the NGO philanthropy and thus make their lives viable while they are bringing about the change. The Government will then give them the serious attention that they deserve.

I want to reiterate that protesting, while useful, has its' limitations since it is bordering on hate. Better than pulling down the rich, corrupt or otherwise, is to rise up to them and make them take note of oneself.

To whomsoever it may concern

You are welcome to my club.

On American troops lining up on Pakistan tribal region

I think it's a bad idea for Americans to engage militants inside Pakistan.

I don't doubt that a section of Pakistani eastablishment is aiding the militants. There was the Khalistan terrorist movement in Punjab which got finance from America based Sikhs. When that didn't dismember India, Pakistan started the Kashmir terrorism. What Pakistan is reaping today in terms of violence and instability is what it sowed back then. I do not enjoy Pakistan's discomfiture and neither do a majority of Indians.

Pakistan alone can untie the knot that she has created. It's dangerous and insolent behaviour for other countries to interfere in her internal affairs. The Pakistani Army General's statement that Pakistan is a nuclear country cannot be discounted but not for his belligerant reasons. Pakistan can hardly hit back at America now and she can't morally target India for what Americans are doing. The critical point to note is that today there is atleast a section of the Pakistani people who are willing to address the terrorism issue. If they get engaged in another front, they cannot safeguard the nukes or stop militants from entering Kashmir with impunity.

Pakistan has for all purposes fallen into the hands of the Chinese, which isn't good for India or America. Pakistan doesn't need American aid anymore - Americans cannot afford it these days while Chinese have a cash surplus. While America can say that they don't need Pakistani help any more since militancy has largely been eliminated, if Americans get entangled inside Pakistan, they will lose all the gains they have got till now in Afghanistan. The militants will simply have free and equal access in Afghanistan and Pakistan.

It's more important for India than America since India has to live with the aftermath of any war as compared to America which can get back temporarily to another continent. I want to forewarn Indians about one issue. Just like a Khalistan terrorism, when it failed, transformed into a well-organized Kashmiri terrorism, Kashmiri terrorism can transform into a well-organized Maoist terrorism unless it is checked as soon as possible. It is vital to break any Kashmiri-Maoist nexus. Kashmiri terrorism is almost dead but those who want to break India won't keep idle for long - they will look for a new opening. The opening most likely to be is the North-Eastern Indian states - there are every indications for the growth of well-organised terrorism there. If Indians today alienate Pakistan, they can be rest assured that all the know-how, resources etc. of the declining Kashmiri terrorists will be passed on to the Maoists. I'm not against China - I'm merely stating an observation as a concerned Indian citizen. If the good and friendly people in Pakistan are not acknowledged and supported, they cannot help India in any way. A safe and secure Pakistan is always in the best interests of India.
