Moron of Mediocre times

When the going was orgasmic fun the dubious fellow was celebrated as King of good times, as disgraceful elites stampede for the lick till it hurt. That he was only a façade for much cleverer people to grab is becoming clear. He was used thoroughly, and the attention seeker enjoyed the limelight, the habitual affliction became the catalyst for the downfall.

Vijay Mallya is a clear case of fall guy in a coterie working and furiously scratching each other and grabbing whatever they could lay their hands on while it lasts. The moment one of the primate is declared a fall guy they mob him to show and maintain a semblance of ethical concern and righteous placing, ofcourse law will take its own course while CJ will plead for more resource. Sycophantic leaders are easy to trap as they lack credibility or responsibility, they are ever enthusiastic for any deal for gain. The deal makers, manipulators, perception creators etc. have field day as the nefarious acts are carried with impunity while Indian democracy is celebrated in all its mythical glory. The so called Indian corporates (mostly high end dealers) thrive in this ecosystem, as money is handed, directed, distributed and patted with subtle business school jargons to give semblance of professionalism to what is essentially thuggery at colossal scale. The slaves in media are taken care with media management money sacks addressed carefully with pincode, hence miraculously thugs becomes movers of economy and generators of precious jobs   garlanding it as incredible India’s success story. Now that he is being mauled badly and it has become open for all Mallya tweets from his hideout "Let media bosses not forget help, favours, accommodation that I have provided over several years which are documented." Capitalism is bad enough but crony capitalism takes the life out of the society, it saps and degrades what already is of low credibility.

Mallya’s carefully crafted checklist for success is ticked in all possible squares of devious ways. Cash cow of business empire and property that he inherited and ofcourse much facilitated due to lack of any check on these transactions. Subsequent policy makers, clearly part of the patrilineal thriving ecosystem that perpetuates disparities, furiously flicked their tongue for social justice during election time as much celebrated Indian competence/merit chugs on into its graveyard. Wonder how lawyers do such wonderful job as finance minister? Mallya used his liquor empire to surrogate ad all that he could lay his hands on as mediocrity thriving game called cricket had men competing for different brands of liquor, and soulful singing the brand, cricket is just a ruse for transaction. This blogger holds the view that prohibition of liquor is not the way but be tough on surrogate ads and placing of these products. There are even awards named on liquor that depraved decorate each other with for all kind of achievements in this ever limited world, some use this occasion for wisdom. He also exhibited his deviant market media friendly patriotism by wanton fossil fuel guzzling and massive carbon footprint irresponsible juvenile events like Formula One.  

With big money and nepotistic delight Mallya went about soliciting the ever ready to sell the nation for money politicians, he was elected to RS not once but twice for whatever reason except that he was dripping in currency. The fellow, as expected, blatantly used the occasion to subvert highest body of Indian democracy as he went on promoting himself and his brand’s worth as charming marketer. He donated, indeed bricks of gold and even navigated his godforsaken airline’s first flight around the debauched temples (Even

donating a golden door (?!) to Kukke Subramanya temple, a temple known for such disgusting practices that it will sicken any sane person. A practice so heinous that it should be a case study for world community to understand this primitive society. To call this putrid pit a place of worship is a disgrace, in a civilized world this place would either be cleared of brutes or flattened. What was the motivation of this scoundrel to donate such huge amount of gold to these disgusts? Clearly these are the pits he is now going to knock, debauched blessing should create miracles. Meanwhile will the gold door be taken back or most appropriately shouldn't these disgraceful people return it?) Unfortunately the debauchery and camaraderie have short life cycle, squatter’s blessing is ineffectual when the venture needs high level of competence for running an airline. If it was based on perception and manipulation they would have easily pulled it off but sadly this venture needs high calibre hence it could nothing but fail, humble sycophancy withstanding. Meanwhile debauched blessing worked wonders as he set about multiplying his business and ofcourse ego. The coterie cleared the patch as banks were more than keen to extend loans. I read that public sector bank is another pit of nepotism and harbinger of crony capitalism. As everybody gets their cut the loans are approved by pliable heads of banks, indeed these attributes are the very reason why they are made the head of banks. This is how degraded the system is as they favour their own without any compunction millions and millions of people’s money are exchanged and pocketed. Even words like nepotism and crony capitalism needs redefining. That an employer is not paying the employee should in itself an apt case for arrest is a minor matter. There are so many breaches one wonders whether there are any laws applied for these people or is the law meant to control common people while they carry the loot.    

What spoiled the cosy deal was Mallya’s flamboyance, the arrogant attention seeker oddball with a penchant for buffoonery, and in the ecosystem of god fearing debauched blessed humble operators he was going to be in trouble sooner than later. And that is the reason for his fall, there are defaulters worse than him, there are people worse than him but he was marked out. If he had stayed and manipulated under the radar he would have quite easily escaped and even won the business icon of the year award from none other than the FM. Few months before the hell broke loose on him he celebrated his b’day in lavish style that made ‘prescient saint’ of a RBI head to blurt some saintly advice. That the policy makers were aware of the misdeeds of Mallya and action was not taken is ‘prescient’ in itself. The incompetence of it. While FM was found to be rather patronizing “it is good that media is focussing on this”!! So what exactly is his job? To be fair the exaggerated presence of some TV channels, mostly English media (that the PM so very rightly avoids) did try to underplay Mallya’s gargantuan fleece initially. It is only when the barrage were broken that too by some really persistent and committed few that the mob joined in, it is the same with the defence scam, they ignored, underplayed and then once it was going out of hand joined in for high moral ground. Media management fund cannot really guarantee fool proof silence (this blogger wants the list of people who were paid including the journalist knowing fully well that is not going to happen…this only much bigger scam while smaller one’s are being pocketed on daily basis under the euphemism of media management).

Postscript: It is clear that Mallya played it well to attract big lickers –the cunning sycophantic politicians, through them the pliable bureaucracy and banks, facilitated ably by creating debauched blessing as he donated loads of gold to squatter temples hence open the door wide for higher echelons of camaraderie. He even ticked the sickular box, hobnobbing with pretentious money sucking sickular, and took it to the next level with Tipu’s sword. The attention seeker was having it all, and with half naked calendars and furious hedonism he took the liberal values and modernity over the roof.  As Mallya face the music, the coterie who provided the service got ample cut remained low key and have since vanished with their bora bistra leaving no trace but you can see some footprint of these manipulative scoundrels who severely degraded the institutions. This blogger was able to trace one and the web of manipulation they work on. Wondering how a pedestrian award manipulating actor who is not at all popular, and not suited for the role of a Punjabi (wherein there are so many better options) could be considered for a movie led me to look at the producer. This fellow turned out to be a photographer. Now how is that a photographer able to make so much money was cleared by the revelation that this fellow worked for Mallya. One could therefore conclude that this was in some way returning the favour, that CrudeWoman must have played some part in the manipulation can be conjectured. It is not for no reason millions of rupees is extended as a loan, and then not asked to return. It is high profile web of deceit that is so cunning that you will never be able to pinpoint it. That is how these scoundrels work, always under the radar, leave no footprint. This pattern of camaraderie is something quite common among the cabal parked around the power centre. As ZK says jab madamze ki dukaan khuli thi tho hum log do ka do lakh karthe the, aaj sirf do ka dai kar pathe hai…mahol kharab ho gaya hai

Meanwhile there is an argument going on: ZK believes in choos choos ke khao while Crude Woman is adamant on niglo school of thought. As I left the con couple CrudeWoman looked at ZK’s gene, who was furiously noting the salient of the argument, and sympathised “muee bal kat kat ke naak kataake chali gayi”. ZK looked at the ceiling and muttered “Iconz logon ka dard sirf iconz log he samaj sakthe hai”       

The charm of defence spending

This blogger does not have much respect for the Defence forces though they are a necessity for the integrity of the Nation State. That patriotism becomes last refuge for the pretenders is clear but the exaggerations in the popular culture are a reflection that the societies have not evolved yet. The more Army personnel are seen or are part of mainstream discourse, and mandatory eulogising by the public, it indicates that we haven’t really moved up in the evolutionary scale. Nothing can be more tragic than to train people to be in uniform, segregated into ranks and grading to follow orders to kill and maim others for protecting what is demarcated on geography by bunch of homo sapiens is a colossal waste of human potential. It is also clear that countries that have more intervention by Armed forces in policy making have seen amazing levels of degradations, take Pakistan for instance. Organised religion and armed forces have embryonic relation, and in some way precursor to expansionist mindset that seek to subjugate and destroy. The illogic of religion fuels the barbarism of violence on others through brainwashed soldiers. The technological advancements may have replaced market hedonism in place of religion and gave a false hope of modernity but armed forces have remain a static presence. There can be umpteen arguments and dire necessity for these forces but it also is an indication that humans haven’t really attained the sophistication that is offered by the promise of universe and hopes of better world.

Few hundred years back, as the societies were primitive, there was impetus on soldiers but now these are becoming increasingly anachronistic. The societies that celebrate these ready to die hare-brained killers as brave and role models are looking at long treacherous road of destruction. That the world instead of becoming liberal and secure, as the possibilities increases with modern advancements in ideas and technology, is seeing more strife is an indication that majority are still primitive. The insecurity clearly is not confined to national borders but each individual seems to be in sense of despair. Religion and irrational ways are therefore consolidating its presence, the more organised get to capture the unthinking naive minds into downward spiral. The collectivism is not only failing the individual but is subjugating into irresponsible ways. Material surplus or immense possibilities of wealth doesn’t really open to fresh benign understanding and thoughts that matches the prospects of the time we live in is clear from the way USA is gathering into smaller minds with bigger mouths. As deviant norms of market spread and consolidate these are set to replicate across the world. An increasingly sinister form of religion will therefore be revived in these degraded values that seek to amalgamate market in prosperity and amazing levels of irresponsibility in self-contained and ever perpetuating faith. (The pit of state called literate Kerala has faithfuls celebrating the impoverishment of gold jewellery, the world seemed to have well passed the apocalypse for these wasted zombies. What kind of conscience they hold and what hope they seek?)

It is expected that as the artificial intelligence takes technology into next revolution (Revolution 4.0) the soldiers will be replaced by machines. Antiquated ways of life mistaken for bravery and patriotism will be things of the past. The question therefore is where does Indians find themselves in? Why is this nation not able to manufacture sophisticated defence equipments? Is helicopter a rocket science that they have to seek from Europe? Is manufacturing a sophisticated fighter aircraft difficult than sending a useless mission to mars or whatever? If Europe/Japan sent mission to Space they also manufacture best machinery and have high standards of HDI, and yes very essentially critical mass of rational people who understand the context of logical reasoning, scientific temper and clarity/priority of purpose. These are comprehensive ways of human progress, not to assuage egos ordained selves proving a point of superiority and debauched blessing to go with. While they celebrate (and ofcourse fervently pray) for irrelevant mars mission precious money is spent on defence spending/purchase at the expense of education and health or research. It is clear that cunning politicians and depraved elite see these defence purchases as avenues to make easy money. And you will see almost all these defence dealings, right from India's independence, are dubious and has created lots of multi-millionaires over the years, they then invest these ill-gotten money in all kind of exploitative businesses and help consolidate regressive religious practices as the Saudis and far right in US do and become constant source of misery. It is a common symptom of the ecstasy of easy mindless money, the thanksgiving and the gargantuan greed to multiply the blessing. Most in Indian corporate –that is behind India’s growth story, will easily fit into this pattern. The unearned income and providential lives, the crony capitalism and crooning coterie that seek to ensnare the very foundation of democracy, if there was one. If French army contingent was made fun for their tacky parade in the Indian republic day the joke is essentially on Indians. These fancy marches and bravado have no much space in advanced world when the focus is to improve technology. It is pertinent to note that India is the largest importer of arms (with enviable company of Saudi and Pakistan) while a small country like France is leading exporter. Get the drift you supplicants of Bharat mata?      

If it isn’t purple rain?

The going

There aren’t any secrets no more

The soaring sky closes in sudden

Traps the bird in its closing act

The air thick as the curdled blood

Light dims and the candle flickers

The barren metaphor

Not suited not any more 

Into an ever purifying world let the ego sink

I was listening to a lecture presentation by Baldev Raj, a prominent nuclear scientist; he is the former director of Indira Gandhi Centre for Atomic Research, Kalapakkam and now serves as the Director of the National Institute of Advanced Studies, Bangalore.  His talk focussed on renewable energy and so on. One thing that really struck me was his mention of space technology having achieved so much while we even lack basic technological advance in Renewable energy, taking the instance that India imports every part of Wind turbine. I found that admission astounding. Juxtaposing this with antics of space scientists led to a revelation. It need to be put into the context of the social reality of this society, the insight is significant. What is scientific achievement and how does it matter to whom?

It is becoming clear that money is being pumped for the sake of assuaging egos and showcase one’s superior bearing in international forums. It is known fact that most of Indian scientific/technological strides in Space and Nuclear were possible because of active help and support from Soviets/Russians. Indians were mostly replicators, and yes searching for cheaper substitutes. Indian scientists don’t seem to match up to the rigour and calibre. A society that lacks any scientific temper or understanding/connection with surrounding it is no surprise. The foundation from which these so called scientists/technologists emerge matters of rational and logic is peripheral thought the ordained soul’s entitled world search for providence and blessings. Some call it technology demonstrators but this blogger asks what was the need for Mars mission? There is no achievement here, just replication that, if provided sufficient money and knowhow, even the aboriginals in Papua New Guinea can perform with much ease. Incidentally PNG is one region that has amazing level of diversity, and yes it is not the kind of primitive conception that Indians celebrate there is a genuine diversity here and some amazing people. If they were the size of India they would easily represent all that is beautiful in the world to cherish.

Indian mediocre elite’s intentions were also quite clear as they celebrated primitive squatter world while damning the Buddha by crudely coding the nuclear explosion with Buddha smile, this sacrilege is astounding. That a soul as peaceful and evolved as Buddha could be connected to depraved and violent act is telling. Now though, as I get firm grip on these primitive people and their cunning ways, the choice of Buddha is no surprise. And as Courts are waking up to the discriminations and actively seeking to end atrocities in the name of squatter’s primitive take on Hinduism (that has been consistently strangulating this way of life) the entrenched power structure has start to squeak. Debauched blessed Mukherjeeji was quick to point out the judicial overreach; meanwhile squatter saturated media (the one that pretends itself to be caretakers of democracy) was using ingenious ways to underplay. Take note: in an amazing camaraderie Uttarakhand HC observation ‘President is not a king’ is actively censored (meanwhile they celebrate some Queen’s b’day!!). This is only a simple example to show how these scoundrels have been playing their game while actively thriving on benefits of primitive values and miseries. And yes women entering part of temples that is reserved for male squatters are only a sideshow. The elephant in the room: the caste –the worst form of discriminatory violence that humans could conceive, that even racism look benign, is trumpeting all the way. Who will smoke out the scoundrel squatters from sanctum sanctorum? The source of deviant ways and crude framework that gnaws at the conscience of the society, and that which keep replicating in all institutions while degrades democracy and morally corrupt people. 

Shiv Vishvanathan writes on the “Question of forgiveness” (ofcourse in space provided so gracefully by Kasthuri&Sons, debauched gracefulness is another of expertise, now they are aiming for blue and red mix et al Ambedkarities and Marxists. Now that “Dalits” have been suitably packaged as seeking redemption and a surplus of redemption givers to care) though the backdrop is of Sikhs in Canada and that too in early 20^th century he traces brief history of forgiveness, even the high moral ground mandatory Modi in Gujarat so on in all these instances he quotes he couldn’t see the heinous caste atrocities and that which is sustaining it right into the so called modern world. His usual dexterity with words (which ofcourse Kasturi&clans will appreciate) will conceive lines like “It was a sheer act of courage, responsibility and humility, a statement of a colossal mistake that needed redemption” could easily and effortlessly miss caste atrocities is telling. It is characteristic nature of those posturing intellectuals of this primitive society to take higher and rarefied moral grounds on all that is happening around the world, it is a constant strive towards mahatamahood that they bestow on each other and showcase as apostle of peace in what is essentially violent crude society which they so enigmatically pamper. I guess in all fairness to apologists like Shiv the question of forgiveness doesn’t even arise when the misery is on going and one is an active participant, so either you stamp it if not morph it, use cleverness to redefine words like community, syncretism, tolerance and grand illusion of unity in diversity that the world is suitably awestruck. The fellow even carries the same mainstream squatter hallucination of hindus as “Kashmiri pandits”. Well done fellow, should give him brownie points on sickularism. Meanwhile nobody is going to ask mediocre Indian elite “What would you have done?” since we know what they can do: Manipulate. Piggyback riding mahatamas and pundits they ransacked the unsuspecting world dripping in conscience and signs of compassion. It’s an amazing chicanery and characteristic humbleness of being to be able to pull this one off firmly entrenched in crudest of world.

 India’s souls reside in great saints and spiritual beings who firmly negated squatter’s primitive conceptions. In the last few decades many charlatans have emerged hinged tightly to squatter’s while trying to usurp the great spiritual traditions. They have been provided for by the moneybags who though entrenched in primitive conceptions and crude ways looked for solace, something that could explain their depraved world in soulful ways that rustic squatter and his godforsaken rituals couldn’t (that ofcourse was competing the grandness in building bigger and taller in an urge to take on spuriously spreading uglier semantic religious structures).  This urge to show themselves evolved was how these modern spiritual gurus –traders, took shape. It is clear that they remain as primitive from their action and intent as they too look for grander and bigger spectre to showcase with necessary modern pointers to attract the corporate driven and market excited. Sri Sri’s penchant for hundreds of musicians, the numbers, is not at all baffling. The so called spiritual leader is bewildered “why only one sitar player why not hundreds?!! Let’s have a celebration!!”. Yes you can celebrate but if connected to music then that is not how you propose to listen or celebrate. This is in the garb of music and celebration arrogance and exhibition of power. The super ego that is natural for a squatter ensconced guru. If he knows anything about music he will get it from that one string of baul singer that an enlightened Tagore could fathom.  

It is also telling that lack of any connection to life and myriad life forms makes them immune to realities of environment. Afterall when people paid obeisance to life giver tree/river/natural forces the cunning created a structure around it and then prescribed rituals, cordoned off and created a business of misery as they pushed out the Nature from the equation except maybe parroting shlokas as compensation that nobody cares but are ready to quote to showcase their high bearing. It is the same mindset Sri Sri of the world exhibit: the affliction to bigger and grander, the inflated ego that doesn’t even understand basic subtleties of life. What looks like barren river bank does hold myriad life that is threatened by human encroachment and that river has a system that actively includes its surrounding in an intricate web. In the competitive world of gurus and corporates these sublime ways are sought to be lost in arguments and perceptions.  It is the same muck that enthuse scoundrels to compete on massive and bigger firecracker to showcase competitions as part of temple festivals. With amazing crude values that has no respect for any lifeforms, humans beings figure much low in scale. Primitive traditions are now our right as democracy. Does this crude society even understand what it is to be living a responsible life in a free world? No it doesn’t. They are such habit driven insecure acquisitive lives that meanwhile seeks death as redemption. What kind of people are these?  

It is into this mucky water the depraved clever try to showcase their entitled worldviews to the world (West being a specific target) and attempt cement their evolved claims. So a squatter blessing a muslim woman is seen as flagpost of religious harmony. For Kasthuri&Sons these are eyewatering instances of tolerance that their depraved world so acutely cares. That humans are being divided into religions and fancy dress to accompany the division is not the matter, as we collectively decided (with mullah feeding enthusiasm) that religion can be the only and paramount identity, anything else is not worthwhile in the schemes of things indeed wasteful ways. Significantly, primitive squatter is being pushed to represent hindu, hence in a clever deal the crude world too pervades rather staunchly (this is how these are being pushed into hapless, now ofcourse the narration is representing syncretic wellbeing). Islam, though has incredible levels of absurdity that has since become source for wahabi happy jihadis, but one thing that is appreciable is impetus on human dignity and denial of mediators (though the uncouth mullah does come out with his deviant interpretations) it is a faith that has negated rituals and focused on almighty as a source of simple access to the faithful. Therefore the woman bending to squatter’s sacred whatever (which ofcourse only he has access to) is an insult on the idea of Islam. These kinds of practices are not representing syncretic ways on the contrary these are crudest practices that is being sought to be mainstreamed and celebrated in the name of religion. They should be curtailed by those who understand the evolved meaning of religion and what it represents. Squatter and their debauched blessing have no space in egalitarian society however hard mediocre elite may attempt. This nonsense has been stretched for too long.

And yes gender issues should not be allowed to hijack the fact that elite section is depraved lot, women included. I was reading this article “I Know Rohith’s Story Because It Could Have Been My Own” by Manisha Mashaal who belong to severely caste subjugated section (sane people shouldn’t fall for the use of ‘dalit’ or ‘community’ these are ruse) writes  “But, even as women – Dalit women’s politics are at odds with upper caste women. When Nirbhaya happened, I pointed out in class that these cases of sexual violence happen all the time to Dalit women and are never paid the kind of attention that Nirbhaya received. I referred the case of the young Dalit woman who was raped and killed in Jind, Haryana. The whole class and the professor began disagreeing with me vehemently, arguing that rape is a “gender issue” not a “caste issue”. I thought to myself that this was the rotten level of understanding in a Women’s Studies program. Being women did not mean much when they could not even empathise with the vulnerabilities of a Dalit woman who had succumbed to severe violence”.  

  How much havoc and misery depraved Indian elite have given to people is common knowledge and that these deviant ways have severely intruded into their innocent world into their very being that make them caste zombies. So more the hapless people express their faith more they seem to get trapped. It’s like an animal in a snare more it tries more it gets enmeshed. And cruder it gets. It becomes part of their attitude, psyche and being, the damage done is immense. While the depraved elite, benefiting from the misery, gets down to packaging as sickularism/tolerance and all that West find attractive, indeed tap dance to the requirements, creating illusion of wonderful peaceful world. So while squatter ensconced scientist –who haven’t ever dealt scientific temper or the mindset that comes with it, takes us to heights of achievements, that ofcourse finds nothing new (Indians have no business to be dealing with neutrinos or gravitational waves, this society doesn’t have the right for such esoteric indulgences. It should be dealt with societies with money and mindset. What is needed is impetus on crying essentials that needs serious technological input) but assuage their egos and establish as specially entitled souls and blessed beings (aka Ramanujam…poor fellow I feel sorry for him, any other society he would have done wonderfully well. Inhere it messed up his mind and was almost wasted thankfully before he was cannibalised he could contact West, a bit could be salvaged) while the so called intellectuals take it to another level of purity as they seek to provide humanitarian standards and values to killers and criminals. It is amazing detachment to social realities while trying to hook up and showcase to the world as kindred souls. In the most violent sort of society, that even targets the soul of individual through faith, the squatter ensconced is so eloquently preaching such higher human values makes the depravity furthermore astounding.                                                                      

Look at the rise in Temperature!!

A primitive society like India with high claims and entitlements will not be much concerned with these cataclysmic changes (so will the god fearing far right uncouth in US) -that will surely affect billions of people, as the mediocre elite hook up to fervently multiply their privileges, unearned incomes (also referred to as competence/merit, an important ingredient in development/progress, now morphing into startups) and replicate the monetary gains (also entrepreneurship modeled on Trumps of the world, indeed there are legions of Trump like role models in here), a framework ardently looked upon as model to emulate for the intense social climbing by scampering millions. The ground is slipping all the while for 18% of world’s population squeezed in 2.4% of land –that in itself should be seen as a crime on humanity, like sacrificial lamb they swagger with consummate self-worth. Surely with more automations and technological innovations (which ofcourse cannot be expected from this mediocre bunch, enmeshed as they are in their own depraved ways and entrenched crude bearings) the nuanced world will need less of humans, who can use their mind innovatively that which AI or intelligent machines cannot accomplish. So to start with the world is getting smarter and leaner, and yes evolved societies and responsible people are limiting their populations and reducing their footprint, that leaves Indian demographic dividend scrounging the dustbin. Not at all undesirable scenario, true value cannot be manipulated by perceptions nor can it alter the objective realities that knock the door. Indians are the worst of the lot is becoming amply clear, fig leaf of low capita emission will not diminish the celebratory regressiveness that degrade the delicate ways of life. Cannibalism is inbuilt nature of this society that will keep gnawing all that is precious in the world.
