Forgetting the dance 

I am a fish in the poisoned river

I am an insect droning the street light

I am the bird knocked out by the window strike

I am a disoriented whale stranded

I am a turtle tangled lifeless in abandoned net

I am a giraffe skinned by trophy hunters

I am the rhino calf nudging my hacked mother

I am a shark without fin sinking into the depth of ocean

I am a tiger farmed for my body parts

I am a monkey tied up for research

I am a dog with ears and tail cropped

I am a chicken dying in my own weight

I am cow impregnated for milk

I am a pig farmed for meat

I am a snake deity defanged   

I am a cheetah cub groomed as a pet  

I am a caged parrot

I am an electrocuted elephant

I am the bull in the arena

I am an orangutan clinging to the last tree

I am an owl startled by celebration

I am the heron feeding on plastic

I am caterpillar killed by pesticide

I am a plant drooping in soot

I am butterfly searching for shade

I am a tree that has come in the way of development

I am a bee who has forgotten the dance

 

 

Update your priori

Well-adjusted prior judgments of 20^th century needs update. Last two decades have completely changed the world in the way homo sapiens have not reckoned in 200,000 years. Last few hundred years of understandings have culminated at breakneck speed in the last few decades. Internet made the world immediate, it also empowered ordinary people. Each individual’s interface with the world has seen cataclysmic change. Even poorest have access to device more powerful than what sent men to moon. In the last few years every human is given the possibility of change as also platform to join into action. With AI and quantum computing set to become everyday reality technology is becoming meaningfully pervasive but intrusive in an entirely unthinkable way that even science fictions are falling back! Biotech is another area that has seen breathtaking changes and possibilities, even giving humans tools to change an entire specie. Meanwhile diseases spread fast, microorganism upgrade and mutate. The visible signs of climate change add to the surreal feel to the contemporary reality. Cataclysmic changes are happening that each living specie on earth has not experienced in hundreds and thousands of years. Species are vanishing at a rate matched only by few instances in five hundred million years. Homo sapiens have clearly reached a cross road. From hereon either it's road to possible extinction, or very likely, some will work with technology to create a new space -doubtful whether this space will be inclusive and it's very likely that majority will face the incremental wrath of elements and perish in hundreds and thousands on regular basis. The stage is already set, and you can see rough outline emerging in the horizon, meanwhile majority are kept distracted with everyday excitement and entertainment inanities. Most people though have experienced precarious nature of life through pandemic, an uneasy sense of doom pervades deeply while forest fire's flare reaches sky, ferocious floods sweep fancy cars into guzzling underbelly of cities… With reality becoming increasingly immediate systems are getting exposed. There is no use of herd controlling when herd start to die or are distracted by overwhelming reality. The futility is hitting home. 

Rather than rationalizing anything and everything through crumbling systems it's the existential priority to face the reality. All lifeform on earth face realities of life all the time, and adapt or perish. Humans too started with the same template but lost their way into fantastical fictions -that though started with compassionate intent to assuage and understand, and mounting sense numbing luxuries and distractions. These egoistic holds and delinks are now becoming life threatening and perilous for humanity. The matrix of life’s data is firmly fine-tuned to reality. In this reality human beings are increasingly working out as liability. There is an essential need to invoke the long lost values of mutual trust and concern, a shared commitment to reason, and to act sensing the changing nature of surrounding. In short it's about time for human beings to assert their humanity.  

Any threat to democracy is a threat to humanity

 

Democracy hinges on individual rights and liberty that synergize into society to assert the potential to progress as human being. It safeguards human rights that extends to other species and ecosystems. Democracy is an evolved conception that assures civilized dealings and accommodates dissent. A free mind is an assurance of humanity. Therefore, to push a narration that some societies are not fit or ready for democracy (in effect some humans of some regions are incapable to be free) is not only spacious but reflection of high-end patronizing mindset that comes with laziness of wallowing in hedonism and assured capacities. Afghanistan is a case study of misery on humanity orchestrated by competing systems and clever cold manipulators. Brutal gun totting religious primitives, suave suit wearing carpet bombing democracy spreaders for profit and narration controlling keyboard warriors holed up in comforts of western cities with well placed angst are all equally complicit. They are eating the souls of people. They regurgitate fictions that suits their deal. It’s the Rashomon effect in the bleakest of possibilities. The stampede to control narration to present themselves as saviors.                

Every lifeform thrives in freedom fully understanding the limits that life puts, the conditions they sense to survive and evolve. Every human on this earth strives to be free. Only a free human can gain the capacity to understand responsibilities and value living in daily absurdities of life. Primitive religions -the anachronistic regret, should be humored and tolerated with pity but what we see is vicious arbitrators using these as opportunity to control and haggle for power. Spiritual earnings and mounting insecurities of hapless people are trapped into systems of barter. Humans are commodities in this conception. They are to be bartered for religion as unthinking faithfuls, for democracy spreaders they are comfortable means to exploit for profit as also pointer of benign grace of powerful, for politicians these are pawns in the game of strategic depths and for angst driven fluffs they represent untold bottomless opportunity for angst positioning. Afghan people running scared and cowering in homes from gun wielding monster mullahs emblemizes common people all across the world. They are metaphor of tragedy. Fodder to the systems of control.

West in its arrogance think that they can blatantly attack any region for profit and then cover it up by feeding chosen few and work them to control the narration. They represent flawed arrogance of democracy whether US – with absurd gun freedom, systemic racism and deviance of Christianity, or UK – that wallows in supreme assurance of colonial loots and tries to define democracy through monarchy patriotism. Under the garb of spreading democracy they are controlled by wanton greed and supreme omniscience as overseers. Meanwhile Afghanistan is a flawed society that gnaws its people. Beleaguered people never really got the chance to consolidate humanity as the competing forces massacred. People of the region are trapped in the vice grip of religion and poverty hence last twenty years of Western attempts were superficial. The collapse of Afghanistan is a testament to flawed intervention that couldn’t percolate. Empathy driven institutions and free connection of humans is what roots institutions to consolidate democracy. Further, when the sinister states like US (under Trump), China, Russia so on had started to negotiate with Taliban and authenticated monster mullahs for their devilish control over the region as also international geopolitical ruse what could common people do? They were given hope without any means to achieve. They were given choices that had life at stake.          

Afghanistan is a tragedy on humanity that will unfold into the depths of depravity. Religion can but only create nuisance and when these fantastical fictions are means of governance there is denial of centuries of human progress and understanding. Those western fattened fluffs who are helping nurture these dehumanizing systems as identity and attempting to equate with race are equally dangerous and complicit with spreading misery. Religion cannot be identity nor it can define or usurp ideas of protecting minority. Diversity cannot be degradation. Humanity is paying heavy price for these flawed values. Secularism must be replaced with humanism. It’s about time to stop nurturing dehumanizing ridiculous systems like religion that has become threat to humanity. As also wanton consumption promoting systems like capitalism that is defining development at the expense of life.     

When wanton consumption driven western nation attack or occupy resource rich regions to further the deep state controlled capitalism and its neoliberal values, they create nepotistic corrupt ecosystem of exploitation and opportunism in the region. They try to assuage these by using common people as fodder back home who take the brunt of backlash through terrorism, xenophobic hate, fundamentalism, while unleashing angst driven narrators who pose as moral bearing of society. They create binary. Us vs Them. It’s the easiest way to control. Thus, dividing humans into strifing herds.    

Code red for humanity

 IPCC report is what every human being in very place must be discussing today, tomorrow and days to come. But India that is extremely climate vulnerable with acute disparities, entrenched inhumanity and primitive value system seems least bothered. Herd controllers have not given much significance to these "news". Market and religion controlled herd oscillate between blessing and opportunity hamster loop while herd controllers showcase their blessing as a lesson on fate and how to upgrade it. As with pandemic when it pushes to crisis herd controllers will swiftly move to higher grounds with family and friends, and that too is fated. What to expect from such a deviant society? 

As I survey Indian "news" websites I find these significant report, or news related to climate change, are sidelined. These are supposed to be 'infotainment' that keeps herds happy while they are squeezed out of basic faculties of being a human. While I interacted with youngsters, not only as part of occupation but during cycling along the coastal region from chennai to goa, I find serious lack on basic facts on these crucial matters. And now as I survey the inbred litters quite active in social media -a culmination of flawed education and deviant home truths, they too are busily habituated in stampeding on inanities to prove their special place in universe. Beggar's mindset doesn't change with money, power or literacy it tends to express in newer ways. Expertised in sanctum these have entrenched in herds. Its not surprising at all that the richest man or socalled scientists at the helm extend beggar's mindset. Its a sycophantic mindset of want and is characterized by pleasing others for gains. Probably it will need few more generation for refinity to percolate and mindsets to change, and that too seems farfetched. A sense of connection with surrounding, compassion and striving to understand are steps that isn't difficult. A society that has nothing to look forward to in future will always try to manipulate history to feel better. It will seek to control narration to feel secure. Climate change is none of their concern. It is just a fate. When they look at teeming masses struggling for basic amenities in various stages of misery they cannot help feel how blessed they are despite being absolute rotten humans without any discernable skills nor making any attempts to examine themselves or their understanding with all the opportunities and resources that they easily access. Surely there must be some reason for these special favor, argues their deviant little minds, hence this lifelong pursuit to justify. For crude minds lacking contemplation every new innovations becomes a new source of manipulation instead of possibilities. Likes of Amartya sen are not accidents they are nurtured. Lacking intellectual integrity, immune to realities, they compensate by high sounding words and nuanced expressions (that serves dual purpose of showcasing to west while simultaneously controlling beleaguered Indians into submission as their blessed representatives to the world. It is the language game that Wittgenstein spoke about and helps to get insight into lazy patronizers) and showcase intellectual capacity by quoting books and working on sophisticating language to absurdity. Lacking contemplative skills or evolved thoughts and tethered to sanctum they replicate ecosystem of sinister sanskrit. And as a final act of special place in universe -as jagath gurus, they defecate books with ordained self assured intention to guide humanity. Never mind they are too incapacitated and challenged to even fathom the beginnings of being a human. As with everything else Indian writing with very few rare exceptions are absolute garbage that expectedly resonate in the echo chambers hence assumed as acclaimed. Indeed it was only meant to showcase blessing.  

So finally

 

Beleaguered nation of 1.4 billion has found redemption. Largest consumer -obsessed hoarder or deviant affliction are better words, of gold (while more than half of children under 4years remain malnourished, which has accentuated during pandemic) has finally found elusive gold through ever elusive caliber. Some blessed frogs in the well are already seeing signs of divine intervention that was already ordained. If only Japanese or Olympic committee knew about auspicious timing to tap positive energy from brahmaand or worked on vastu of  stadium then maybe blessing would have multiplied!! Even Indian scientists know these secrets. 

 The youngster Neeraj Chopra is ofcourse talented, and has all the quality to be a better human hence not in a minor sense a high-ranking army personnel (not that it is something to be cherished, it’s a dehumanizing occupation that may excite herd since nationalism as also subtleties of patriotism are strong herd controlling tool. Army/security must be automated with less of humans and more of algorithm. Humans are not meant to die defending fiction). There is no reason why he should not be promoted to the rank of captain with gallantry medal at the earliest. It is because of the Army that his talent was recognized and blossomed (ofcourse with foreign coach) otherwise he would have wasted out like millions of Indians while freeloaders showcased their limited skills competing with each other as entertainers. Sports is not an entertainment. It strives to achieve and extend the limits of human body and possibilities. Entertainment is a byproduct while the sportsperson enjoys his or her participation the audience too experience the exhilaration.  

Indian sport is parasited by cricket -game of wastrels to entertain herds, was passed on by lazy colonizers to sycophantic freeloading feudals (while actively working against freedom struggle) who then after independence worked it through state machinery to convert herds as also passed onto market to squeeze. It’s a high end con setup. Cricketers appreciating athletes is like donkeys inspiring race horse! (nothing against donkeys, they are cute animals and, I learn from youtube, can be great pets too). They have usurped all awards and positions in the name of sports. Herd controllers know the value of herd controlling mechanisms and they will not let it go. In the meanwhile it needs to be understood that this entertainment has severely degraded Indian sports. Also, it is unfortunate that golf is part of Olympics. It is being included because of money power and clout otherwise there is nothing in it to call it a sport, as much as car racing is not a sport. They must remove golf from Olympics at the earliest. It is a class driven game that occupies and vandalizes green space which should be converted into parks or biodiversity zones. Clearly mediocre entitled Indians will see themselves as golfers hence sportsperson which would be tragic. Tragedy of trumpian scale. 

Neeraj Chopra is a high caliber sportsperson. Hopefully he is promoted to Captain with gallantry medal at the earliest. It should have been done instantly. He has done country proud with his achievement which is equivalent to a soldier in any action. The state is seen wanting in appreciating. It is not only about money or land plot at 50% reduction (?!!). Now the stampede by manipulators is going to be on how to use him to multiply money as also control narration. It will show his character. Hopefully his training in Army saves him from these opportunistic undertakers.  Other sportspersons too have struggled (not much into boxing or wrestling, don’t really like it, quite violent/crude for my liking) from impoverished background and neglect. And when it comes to primitive societies like India you can be very sure that they did struggle in the worst possible ways, and will go back to their miserable lives if they fail (picture here of silver medalist Mirabai Chanu). It’s a life of desperation, and to hold body and mind intact to the arduous demands of sports in bleak surrounding is an achievement in itself. A mediocre society with freeloading garbage at the top has severely degraded the society. They created their own definitions of competence to elevate themselves hence inability to speak English or the right accent may be seen as wanting. I think its about time that these bullshit in the form of humans occupying prominent positions are kicked out as also their nurturers. Speaking nice liberal sounding words may impress lowest denominator diversity searching patronizing angstful western fattened fluffs but its hollow. Its not too long back that Aiyer crap (with all the gandhian ruse intact) was the sports minister while blessed officials went to international sports meet with sportspersons as helpers. Castetva degraded society is now in the hands of Hindutva. Let’s keep our fingers firmly crossed.    

Untangling 

Have you ever stumbled upon a scene

Where a feel you been before

It's not the same but you can see the outline

Filling in the details

Retrofitted from distant past

Or is it improvised future

You wipe the moist from the glasses

And the day is brighter

Street shinier 

Faint salty smell of sea crisscross the tables

Arrange the flowers in the vase

And settle on the easy chair

To introduce yourself

From the day you choose
