Too Fury(ious)

If only nature had a subtle way to show its fury against mankind. Well it might say this is my subtle way of gearing up for apocalypse. Heart goes out to the incorrigible videos that are aired, seems like a directorial master piece at the hands of Disney and other animation mavericks’ studio. But no, Nature is too animated all by itself and the animation was too much to ask for.

This is a crisis, a big hit crisis, and I hope this is not multi faceted by another nuclear disaster. If nature’s hit was a disaster, we don’t need a manmade disaster to summate it. And Japan, of all Countries needs no lesson on the magnanimous effects of radioactive leaks. God no more, we don’t need impaired genetics, no impaired birth, no more.

Does it give a lesson to our Country? Well might be. We have some humungous nuclear reactors, Kalpakkam, near Chennai coastline, and BARC near Mumbai coastline. Are we well guarded if God forbid, a crisis of this nature, hits us ? Well I have no clue about it, it is for our beloved nuclear scientists to assure us for. Even for that matter, a press conference from none other than Dr A.P.J Kalam would do a lot good in giving us hope that they are well protected from Nature’s fury, and from mankind, can be answered by our Military personnel.

Hope is all, we can have, for those Japaneese people, who have shown great grit all throughout their generation, in making their country what it is today, even after crisis after crisis has hit them. It is heartening to see, USA to be the first few to offer aid to Japan. In my word, Japan is well of themselves, they will survive this impending fury of Nature again. All we can do is Hope, they carry their grit and courage that has inspired the whole world and will continue to do for generations together.

God be kind to them, and hearty condolences to the families who have lost their loved ones. While the official casualty number is not yet out, we all know, just by looking at the surly videos, it is going to be a number that will be ashamed of self. But I pray for them, sincerely, because in my opinion, one country, that deserves the best of all, is Japan.

And at the same time, hope that before Nature’s fury is directed, against us, we sought our mankind fury at various part of the Country and live peacefully, the time we have. Because we all know, and no matter how optimistic you have become or are, the clock is ticking. Nature wont take the nonsense any more.

Living a good corrupt..

There is only one word in the recent few months and weeks that has corrupted my mind to the core, CORRUPTION.

They say, anything overboard, even hatred for that matter, will make you stand against it, and that thought is concocting in my mind. Is it really worth it to strive against Corruption ?

Well anybody who wants to get a passport at the earliest goes by the notion that he has to carry Rs 200 for getting the process moving, and closing it early. So mankind, with its advanced accounting metrics and knowledge has already accounted the extra cost, to the original cost of acquiring a Passport. Big deal?

You might want to ask, such an absurd analogy, but come to think of it. I go to a Pizza corner, and look at the menu for the price that is affordable at my wage rate, but when the bill comes, I always pay a 12% extra as “ TAX”. Now next time, I know how to account this price oscillation, and if 400 is my budget, the food shall be not more than 350 Bucks’

Well what is the difference?

By that means, Taxation, ought to be our greatest tool for corruption? But there is no mention whatsoever for that. Corruption surely needs to be checked, but my opinion, have it in your balance sheet, as a cost. Because, when we can conclude, Corruption to be a certain percentage of our GDP, we can as well for our own benefit, come to accept it as a habit,that we cannot live without.

We loathe corruption because; we do not have the opportunity to do so. It is just like the hyperbole relationship between MTV roadies and the millions of young viewers of the show. You loath it, and the two similar looking aliens on the show, but come Saturday, you are tuned to watch impregnable guys getting absurd treatment from the aliens, like a social experiment. You watch it for the only reason, that If it was me over there, I would have answered better, and I am better than the guy currently aired on video. I loathe it only because I do not have the opportunity to be there. Period.

Next time, in a restaurant charging, Service tax, ask them, if you can take the food all by yourself from the kitchen, and not pay Service tax. Awakening happens then.
