#BiharPolls
7th November 2020.

The rural minds find this fascinating.

Here is a man, who has dropped out of school. They know that he is just 9th Pass. Yet, he is the son of one time CM of Bihar, Lalu Prasad Yadav. He was the Deputy CM before Nitish Kumar's Antar
Atma decided to act up. Overnight he was thrown out and betrayed and Nitish Kumar formed a government with BJP, a party that it fought elections against in 2015.

This man now heads the RJD. His father is in jail. He travels by a helicopter. He
sits with the likes of Rahul Gandhi and is fact a larger partner in the Grand Alliance.

This man promises 1 Million Jobs at the first cabinet meeting because so many vacancies exist in the system. He speaks only on this subject. They know that he might not deliver the whole pie
but they identify with him. Maybe they also sympathize with him. Maybe they want change as Nitish is seen as an administrative failure in these reverse migration Corona times.

And today, Bihar may turn the tables on BJP and Modi and deliver a verdict that
says nothing matters but jobs. That you can't fool us any more.

They are telling the country, Modi is a liar and we are going to send a strong signal to the country. Even we don't want to go to other states and be beaten up there. We want a prosperous Bihar.
And I hope the people of Bengal are tuning in to this verdict.

IT AIN'T OVER TILL THE FAT LADY SINGS

In 1991, soon after the coup attempt that confined Mikhail Gorbachev to a villa in Sochi, India's MEA still very Soviet influenced, got PM PV Narasimha Rao to make a comment to the extent that Gorbachev was paying the price for
rushing in the "reforms" much too fast. The dominant influences in the MEA refused to consider the possibility of the USSR demising.

The circumstances in the USA are entirely different but still not dissimilar. Trump is being swept out of office
(despite Modi campaigning for him) but he is not going to go easily. According to the US Constitution and convention he should go by Jan 20. But it is quite likely he might squat in the White House for longer. Modi should lie low and India should at best issue an anodyne

#TrumpMeltdown

Today I want to concede some points to Christianity which says we live in sin.

The event, that of throwing open liquor shops even before throwing open houses of prayers is indeed a confirmation that if people were not
committing the sin of drinking copious volumes of alcohol, we would have a much worse economy than we have today!

Same is the case of those who smoke away to glory. We should appreciate each one of them and instead of creating more no-smoking zones, we
should create more smoking zones and avenues. They are making a mammoth contribution to the taxes that run our governments.

We should also encourage people to consume high end beauty products and fashion wear as these are also things considered as sins by the taxman and

WE WON'T WONDER IN INDIA ABOUT HOW A MAN WHO WRECKED THE ECONOMY GOT S RENEWED MANDATE.

We know how it is done. With lies and make believe, and divisive demagoguery.
Nobody wrecked a nation like Modi did with his stupid Demonetization, and he repeated his folly by his abrupt no-warning, no-preparation and no brainer of a lockdown. Yet he got a renewed mandate. In America a bigger demagogue and megalomaniac has
been brought down, by just a slim margin.

"Whatever the final election results, much of the world—and much of the United States—will be stunned by the fact that a populist demagogue and friend to autocrats around the globe will have won more votes

In the late 1970s, a dynamic young lady in her 20s was deeply upset & disillusioned. Born in a typical Indian middle class family, she had aspired to become a Doctor, but when she was unable to clear the medical entrance exams, she chose to pursue a degree in
Zoology. Later, she again tried applying for medical schools abroad, but when she couldn't get a scholarship, she decided to pursue masters degree in fermentation science at an Australia University.

#Trump #ஓட்டுன்னுபோட்டாரஜினிக்குதான்

I generally refrain from writing on any religion. I consider one's caste, creed, color, race, religion and country just an accident of birth.

To me, the most important thing in a persons life is his economic well being and independence.
To me poverty is the biggest problem that humanity faces. To me ways and means to free people from the clutches of poverty is the only thing that requires attention. To me, economic independence is real independence. To me a life of dignity is more important than anything else.
To me the reason for economic crisis is because we want to benefit from the labor of others and not on merit or hard work of our own. I fundamentally believe that for someone to get rich, others need not get poorer. I believe that policy driven by some rich people is .

28th October 2020.

Just like nobody knows what is being done in the #PMCaresFund, nobody seems to know who made Arogya Setu App, made it compulsory and then collected the data of millions of Indians, tracking them on a daily basis.
Responding to an RTI, all the departments that were running, advertising, handling, providing infrastructure, etc. this app have returned a 'We Don't Know' response.

Perhaps for the first time in the history of the country, nobody knows what's going on!
Look at Aadhar. It was a UID Unique Identification Database which assigned a Unique number to a person who was in India on the basis of existing documents, including Ration Card, Electricity Bill, Apartment Registration details, Leave and License Agreement Details, etc.
