Adjudicated Parallels

The greatest enemies of a person are the ones in his close quarters. He does not have to look far. These friends turned foes can inflict a great harm on him. Often, the victim is a renowned, acclaimed and a honored person. I can share about some. A well known star from the entertainment industry was privy to this situation. His retinue of professionals sought to mar this person's reputation of being a maven. To be precise, they called his composed lyrics a sham. This was not true to a great extent, as this exists in every celebrity's songs. Moreover, there was a great propaganda to defame him. But he bore it all. It affected his record sales, though. Another person depicted in the classic literature is Julius Caesar. His own friend, Brutus, killed him and Caesar never expected this from such a close confidante. Also, Jesus Christ was betrayed into the hands of his murderers by his own disciple, Iscariot, as he knew where to find Him. People need not look for foes among s...

The moment you are overwhelmed with love for kinsmen, it shouldn't be necessarily acted upon. The fact that a lavished love can spell doom to your tranquil surroundings or barter peace for their ends can very much be on the cards. There are many noted examples of such behaviour among kinsmen of renowned and famed people. There was one celebrated poet known for his prowess in the vernacular language. His ancestors yielded to their heart's desire. They welcomed many kinsmen with their families to live in their palatial house. Slowly, things started deteriorating and the peace in their house was gone. Many metaphysical happenings too impeded  the house owner's family's success and health. Had they been vigilant before, the debacle in their family's fortune would be averted. The brazenness made sure that the celebrated person's work too was affected- though for periodic bouts. Be accommodating to your kin, but there needs to be a limit. Never cross limits and bri...

There exists a mezzanine level in a building as sure as the same in life's frailties and inclinations. Though people identify themselves with discrete longings and groups, this is prevalent everywhere. The observers just do not get it right. And this is sober. Not everyone is classifiable. To get this straight, imagine the rift between feminism and misogyny. Not everyone can be classified as a misogynist or feminist. It depends on the person whom he meets. He develops prejudice on these impressions. Later, on account of observing the oppression of women and their libertarian lives, he can be christened as a bit of both of these groups. There seems to be a clarity in such grouping. Never can people be labelled as such. There are various kinds of demographics they can be listed with. Hence, group people based on their individual habits and not on the discrete labels. These tend to beguile everyone into totalitarian principles. A broad-minded approach works.

Malfeasance is prevalent in many top regions- be they developed nations or those that are labelled as developing. This can be corroborated by the fact that  Corruption Perceptions Index from Transparency International has many of these categorized nations. It is to be noted that India is ranked 79 in this index. This comes as  no surprise. Sometime back, I read about a newspaper report regarding a man who had the option of getting his lost college marks card redone, but through bribing the concerned authority. This gets more appalling as the person would forego a very important or somewhat coveted post in an organization. Instead of yielding to this situation, the man did not encourage this malfeasance. He waited for a long time and got his marks sheet in old age. Such is the grit of this man that he has no regrets. The fact that he lost an illustrious career because of this does not perturb him- come whatever may. The antidote for such bribery and brazenness is n...

10 questions Google can't answer: 1. Which hen laid the egg that I ate today? 2. What is Virat Kohli doing right now? 3. Who was born right after Hefner died? 4. How do sunflowers smell? 5.

When does time stand still?

Whenever I come across people who have accepted filial possessions that can mar a person's virtuous living there seems to be a lone reason cited: it being avarice. They cannot let go of it, though clearly the asset is being acquired and handed down by illicit means. I was privy to one such quandary. I know a person who made a man drunk and through coaxing with sweet words, made him sign a land agreement in that inebriated state. Taking advantage of this signed document, the person usurped the land amounting to a few acres. Though this was a unethical but legal deal, his sons too followed suit. This battle is raging through generations. The lone cause of this long-standing lawsuit is avarice. Being at the threshold of acquiring the lousily dealt property, the next generation of the usurper cannot resist letting go. The best they can do is give up the claim towards the land. All that remains is a generation of woes. There are other better things than money in life. And the best th...

There is ample evidence around that subtle colloquies exist and even the hearers find them explicitly meaningful. This is so true that even the larger audience found to be spectators to it have a sound judgment and discern the real hidden meaning. Let us see where this can be related to. Imagine a villain in a movie talking to his henchmen. He does this tersely. No doubt. But the fact is that the goon who is commanded by him understands it. One of this scenario could be what to do next with the prized catch- a damsel. The creativity gestured by the boss like the manner to tie or how to hang the guillotine or upon whom to tie the victim. All of this is understood by just a gesture. Villainous rants can be so nonsensical to the upright however berated they get watching the piece of action. But, are a treasure of information to goons who are innately creative. So be a goon and create something. The world is watching.
