India a land of politicians for politicians -in light of Amended IT Act 66A

India has always been a country of contrasts the hypocrisy of it is what we have gotten used to.Religion is the most used and abused tool of political choice and yet the common man has been grappling with laws that put a restriction on his very basic right of speech.

Section 66A of the IT Act 2011 very vaguely says

a) any information that is grossly offensive or has menacing character; orb) any information which he knows to be false, but for the purpose of causing annoyance, inconvenience, danger, obstruction, insult, injury, criminal intimidation, enmity, hatred or ill will, persistently by making use of such computer resource or a communication device,c) any electronic mail or electronic mail message for the purpose of causing annoyance or inconvenience or to deceive or to mislead the addressee or recipient about the origin of such messages shall be punishable with imprisonment for a term which may extend to three years and with fine.
Two years and a few arrests later the law today is amended not due to the efforts by the opposition or by the Information Technology bodies which house the who's of who of the industry but due to the efforts by the common man who was grossly affected by them.


We are a secular  republic with the right to speak our minds though the only people who seem to be able to do it are the politicians . The original constitution gave the common man the right to free speech no questions  asked the law was then amended by the congress to serve only one purpose "Political " the rising left and their questions including the then active and unbiased press  which questioned the administration for its stand on the partition was conveniently silenced.


Today the press plays only for TRPS where the moghul clout of one media entity can totally overthrow the voice of another with sheer bullying.

Today the only person who can speak his mind about religion is the politician who rallies votes based on this very fact. If we are to stand by the below law the whole existence of religion based political identity could be unconstitutional.


Central Government Act Section 295A in The Indian Penal Code272 [295A. Deliberate and malicious acts, intended to outrage reli­gious feelings of any class by insulting its religion or religious beliefs.—Whoever, with deliberate and malicious intention of outraging the religious feelings of any class of 273 [citizens of India], 274 [by words, either spoken or written, or by signs or by visible representations or otherwise], insults or attempts to insult the religion or the religious beliefs of that class, shall be punished with imprisonment of either description for a term which may extend to 4[three years], or with fine, or with both.]



The right to identity cannot be based on a political parties manifesto, it is one of the most basic right to freedom and which Section 377 clearly violates . Unnatural offences: Whoever voluntarily has carnal intercourse against the order of nature with any man, woman or animal, shall be punished with imprisonment for life, or with imprisonment of either description for term which may extend to ten years, and shall also be liable to fine.This law is British era old in a country which has  a rich culture of tolerance in its history and mythology this law should have been done away a long time ago, it exists today in the form a political identity insync with a religious cultural sentiment of our existing government.Why the hell our we paying crazy tax for ? so that we are slaves to the political games of every party in power, if we have to drag our asses out to petition to fight for our most basic rights what is the government doing in the first place if we agree with the fact that they have no time to think about these things because they are busy making the rich people rich what is the opposition doing sitting in parliament have we not elected our local Politicians so that we dont have to fight for our basic rights ? or are they too busy plotting and planning so that in the next five years they can make the rich people more rich ?

Missing Children a National Epidemic

Recently my facebook page has a photo of a missing child every second day, the sweet innocent
face haunts me for a very long time. I shudder just thinking of the hell that child will be put through. Prostitution, organ harvest, mutilation, child labor the list of hell is endless.
What is going wrong ? Is this generation of parents reckless or is the current law and order toothless and more lazy than the last. According to the baccha bachao andolan nearly ELEVEN CHILDREN GO MISSING  EVERY HOUR in India. These statistics are as old as 2011 so this is not a new story the only difference is the common man has a facebook account.
The mind has the ability to ignore what it wants  hence even when train stations and bus depots are lined with posters of missing children we ignore it.
This is our reality we live in the shadow of fear, of waking up and finding our child gone, will you ever be able to breath again..... The political machinery of our country is busy planning and executing a dream world of riches which will come from strengthening the multinational corporate universe  and a strong take on subsidies. On the other hand the country is sitting on a boiling pot of religious sentiment. A blind eye to the crumbling secular fabric of the country seems to be the moto.
The police in this country and under payed and overworked not news and the current situation does not help.
The question is very simple is all this foreign investment in India going to make our country safe for you and for me. Children have been going missing in villages for  along time nobody has bothered to ask questions because it does not affect us. Today the epidemic has reached our doorstep.
We can never live a isolated life, the waters will always reach your shore.
The grief of the farmer is not yours, but when there is no land to plough, where are these villages going to go ? What are we going to eat ???? a very expensive commodity imported ?
If we cant afford it will these people ? what are they going to do ? with no skill there is always the easy way out.... Crime.... How many police officers do we have ? not enough.....
Our priorities cannot be just about what we want... lower interest rate so that we can buy a bigger home ? foreign investment for a better job ? all this will amount to nothing if one day you wake up and a piece of you is missing.

Scientology, Us and Him

It is no new fact that religion is the biggest high on this planet. This invisible shield of security created by affirmation of a unseen kind has the strength to build out of nothing and break into nothing.
Science has a explanation for everything from cause to effect. Yet they come and stop at the very beginning. In every religion the existence of pure is emphasized a million times its this pure which brings calm to the storm which is our life.
Scientology talks about the same pure energy and we a experiment gone awry like a artificial intelligence which was created and then usurped the original existence too. Its the same concept Greeks, Indian, Europeans all talk about the same concept of the universe beginning from one pure thought and then getting muddled into a mass of filth which we are.
I would like to believe that I am a spiritual person my foundation is my belief in a entity who knows all and has seated in me a conscience which is my guiding light. As India grapples with the sickness of barbaric rape of not only women but children I once again come and stand at the same crossroad of why would a god who so loved the world that he sacrificed his only son let this happen.
Somewhere deep down my day begins with the thought what if something happens to me that breaks this cocoon of belief around me, what if one day I wake up and face the stark reality that we are all part of "truman show"
Do spiritual people even question ?  In this life when you are a whirling mass of emotions, contradictions, habits and compulsions the most important commodity is the calm that presides over your heart. The effect zen of babaji ki booti twenty four seven without any side effects. 
The taking away of this zen can be a very alarming circumstance. Though I strongly believe that any individual who resorts to being an asshole in the name of this zen has not found it. That is just another story of ego and manipulation.
Cause and effect is what this whole world stands on, science and religion both come and agree on this one point, karma, as you so so shall you reap, the cause and effect we understand is justified the ones we dont are not.
In these millions of years that we roam the planet, our actions are multiplied a number I cant even arrive at. What can be cause of what we do today ? actions in these few years or the millions that we have been part of. Many religions do not believe in the being reborn, Some believe that we are born again through our belief in god and that sets all things right.
Cant it be possible that the poor god " Maker " of us gave us more credit than we deserve. He could not ever imagine that after showing us the easy way to do things we still would want to go and do the shit that gets us into trouble. We may get better but getting completely cured is a long way ahead.
The hangovers have reduced to once a year from every weekend but they are still there, the whiskey is replaced by wine and not water.
The virus in our system is pretty deep and maybe it may take a few more years for it to be weened out. But we need to have faith, in ourselves and that maker who took a huge risk by making us against all fore warnings. Making us in his image, giving us his breath of life which attached him to us forever. Shit can go out of his hand because of the complex threads of cross connections we have created by refusing to clean up fast, but he still tries, sometimes he cant help us and has to stand at the sidelines as we bear the effect, but it does not mean that it hurts him less after all there is a part of him in us.
Our faith should not stand on a rainmaker our faith should stand on a path which takes us to the rainmaker, a road which is a long difficult journey ridden with obstacles some which we know of some of which we are not aware about. Our faith is the thread in the den on the centaur which will get us out to the light. In that journey we will find shade in the calmness of loving clouds and sometimes there will be nothing but scorching heat. In these moments we need to remember the joy of rain on the journey and the fact that if it exists at the end of the storm there will be a rainbow.
