Holiness



Old man.  Still going around grabbing. Grabbing both girls and land.

Does he look holy?

Just look at his face.  I have taken this photo from today's Hindu newspaper.

The latest report on him from that newspaper: Panel to look into Asaram's "illegal" ashram in Ridge area.

I'm looking for a Baba who can give me some holiness!  Hahaha... But I'm not joking!

Just search the internet and you will get umpteen such reports about Babas and Modis.  Good nexus.

Good Holiness, I mean.

Goodness Heavens!

How many of us will survive in the world of such holiness?

Are we creating another Hitler in the form of Modi?

I'm not going to post all the links on Modi's verbal assaults on people.  A simple Google search will give you all those.

Modi and his Babas will reign.  How long, but?

As long as we (I mean WE, the people) choose.

I'm not saying that Modi supported the Babas.  I'm saying that the Babas created Modis.

Joke.  Hahaha.

  1. In school, we were being taught about elections in Civics. We, students, went on saying that there is no right / good person to choose.
    Our teacher said, "It is about choosing bad from worse, if there's no one good"
    So 2 questions-
    1. Who will be chosen?
    2. How 'bad' will he be?

    1. Nimi, I understand we have to be "practical" which means we cannot afford to be idealistic. It boils down to saying what your civics teachers said: Democracy is choosing the lesser evil. But which is the lesser evil? Is Modi an evil lesser than Dr Manmohan Singh?

    2. The most difficult question right now.
      First thing, was Dr Manmohan Singh really ever running the government?
      In any case, now it is Rahul Gandhi v/s Narendra Modi.
      I also like to include Mr Kejriwal - a dream, but we are lucky it's a possible dream today. I am hopeful that common man won't feel as hesitant to enter politics now, as it has always been, thanks to Mr Kejriwal.
      Who's the lesser evil? I don't know. I can argue about it for hours - I do at times :) But I don't have an answer still. Do you?

    1. It's not just him, Namrata. If he was a singular case I would have ignored him. Most Babas who live luxurious lives today are frauds. The other day Hindustan Times carried a report about another Baba near my school who has encroached on 123 acres of forest land. What about Ramdev? Do you think he is honest?

  3. Actually most of the holy men are very unholy now a days...

  4. Linguistically correct usage is "His Holeness.."

    1. Amen to that. But I wonder why lakhs of people follow that holeness.

    2. I was in Delhi recently (around a month back). Outside his 'ashram' there were a long line of parked cars (as usual) and a big crowd too (again as usual). I felt very sad and disturbed. People still follow him, obviously.

  5. You are still on about Modi :D I guess, you can write an encyclopedia against Modi :D

    1. BTW, did you watch Modi's nearly 1.5 hour interview with Arnab Goswami on Times Now on May 8th? You would have got answers to lot many of your political questions straight from the horse's mouth. :)

Prelude to AtoZ

  From Garden of 5 Senses, Delhi [file pic] Hindsight gives an unearthly charm and order to the past. There can be pain too. A lot of things could have been different, much better, if only we possessed the wisdom of our old age back in those days. As a writer put it, Oedipus, Hamlet, Lear and a lot of those guys must have thought, “I wish I had known this some time ago.” Life is a series of errors with intermittent achievements. The only usefulness of the errors may be the lessons they teach us. Probably, that is their purpose too. We are created to err so that we learn, I dare to put it that way. I turn 64 in a month’s time. It’s not inappropriate to look back at some of the people whom life brought into my life so that I would learn certain lessons. No, I don’t mean to say that life has any such purpose or design or anything. Life is absurd. People come into your life as haphazardly as vehicles ply on your road or birds poop on your head. Some of these people change the chemist

Why I won’t vote

From Deshabhimani , Malayalam weekly Exactly a month from today is the Parliamentary election in my state of Kerala. This time, I’m not going to vote. Bernard Shaw defined democracy , with his characteristic cynicism, as “ a device that ensures we shall be governed no better than we deserve .” We elect our government in a democracy. And the government invariably sucks our blood – whichever the party is. The BJP and the Congress are like Tweedledum and Tweedledee though the former makes all sorts of other claims day in and day out. BJP = Congress + the holy cow. The holy cow has turned out to be quite a vampire and that makes a difference, no doubt. In our Prime Minister’s algebra, it is: (a+b) 2 which should be equal to a 2 and b 2 . There is an extra 2ab which is the holy cow. In George Orwell’s Animal Farm , the animals revolt against the human master and set up their own nationalist republic. Soon politics develops in the republic and some pigs become leaders. The porcine

How Arvind Kejriwal can save himself

Narendra Modi and Amit Shah have a clear vision. Eliminate all opposition. Decimate them or absorb them. My previous post [link below] showed a few people decimated by them. Today let’s look at the others: those who are saved by joining the Bharatiya Janata Party [BJP]. 1. Himanta Biswa Sarma  This guy was in Congress and faced serious charges related to the multi-crore Saradha chit fund scam. He also faced corruption charges related to drinking water supply in Guwahati. His house was raided by the Central Bureau of Investigation [CBI]. Then he switched over to BJP and all his crimes just vanished. It’s as simple as taking a dip in the Ganga and all your sins are forgiven. Today he is the chief minister of Assam. Nothing is heard of all the charges that were levelled against him. 2. Amarinder Singh  This former Captain in the Indian Army was a Congressman until Modi’s Enforcement Directorate [ED] started raiding him, his son and his son-in-law. He put an end to all those raid

The Good Old World

Book Review Title: Dukhi Dadiba and irony of fate Author: Dadi Edulji Taraporewala Translators: Aban Mukherji and Tulsi Vatsal Publisher: Ratna Books, Delhi, 2023 Pages: 314 If you want to return to the good old days of the late 19 th century, this is an ideal novel for you. This was published originally in Gujarati in 1913. It appeared as a serial before that from 1898 onwards in a periodical. The conflict between good and evil is the dominant motif though there is romance, betrayal, disappointment, regret, and pretty much of traditional morality. Reading this novel is quite like watching an old Bollywood movie, 1960s style. Ardeshir Bahadurshah, a wealthy Parsi aristocrat in Surat, dies having obligated his son Jehangir to find out his long-lost brother Rustom. Rustom was Bahadurshah’s son in his first marriage. The mother died when the boy was too small and the nurse who looked after the child vanished with it one day. Ratanmai, Bahadurshah’s present wife, takes her

Kejriwal’s Arrest in Modi’s Kurukshetra

For some mysterious reason, Arvind Kejriwal’s arrest reminded me of Haren Pandya. Maybe, because Pandya’s 21 st death anniversary is approaching (26 March). Have you forgotten Haren Pandya? He was the Home Minister of Gujarat before Narendra Modi assumed dictatorial powers in that state. Modi chose to teach humility to Pandya by making him the Minister of State for revenue. Pandya chose not to learn humility from Modi and resigned from that post in Aug 2002. Remember Gujarat of 2002? You should. A fire engulfed a train on 27 Feb 2002 killing 58 Hindu pilgrims who were returning from Ayodhya where they had gone to discover their god, not very unlike Christopher Columbus undertaking a voyage to discover India and messing it all up. What caused the fire in the train? Lord Ram knows probably. The upshot was that there was a riot in Gujarat by Hindus against Muslims. Haren Pandya is one of the BJP leaders who gave statements in many places indicting Modi for the riots. He asser
