Omicron propaganda and public misery

People are not so afraid of the pandemic. They are scared of the curbs and lockdowns, which are unequivocally life-threatening. People are not so afraid of the infection. But they are scared of the horrendous treatments and cost of hospitalisation.  The third wave never happened as the government warned and the public feared. Massive preparations were afoot as if to fight a big war. Months passed. People moved fearlessly. Nothing worse happened. But those with vested interests continued to wait for the arrival of the wave. Some reactions of our leaders showed they were waiting for the new variant novel Coronavirus so that they could hide their problems and control the flourishing ‘pandemic‘ market. But, this time I doubt whether they can be fortunate with the same product. They may try...

The theory should be for life but life doesn’t need any theory

Fast-changing human nature cannot hold any ideology or principle for long. As circumstances change, the human mindset also changes. Today’s political ideology and goals become irrelevant tomorrow. What we call a change in the world is merely the change in human aspiration and mindset. Even material changes are susceptible to rapid changes.  Principles, ideologies and identities are human creations. These creations make human life a more complicated one. As nature changes, the nature of the human race also changes. It is from our boastful identity all identity crises emerge. Ideologies create rifts in society and conflict in human minds. The principle is personal. These are unique to human beings. The other animals hold no principle, ideology. They don’t bother with constant changes in ...

Illiberal-ism and inequality

Liberalism is a western concept fabricated on hypocrisy.  As we live negating the rules of nature and laws of the modern state, we face dire consequences. Yet, we preach liberalism with our misjudgement. Nevertheless, our consciousness will not accept the truth that some are still illiberal and less equal.  Isn't the civilisation that we boast about negating liberalism? One can agree or disagree. Every human being is confined to something by the name of ethics or regulations set by modern states or due to a fear of living circumstances. Think about it for a moment. You are not free to do something that your mind keeps telling you. Sometimes, you may call it self-discipline. But some regimes fix us within a cage. In such a world, the term ‘liberal’ finds no space? All other living being...

The disaster of December downpour

While we are fighting to avert natural disasters that would eradicate every living being from the face of the earth, we are struggling miserably with the weather deviation. Unprecedented and unseasonal rains continue to wash away our homes and livelihoods.  December is India’s peak winter month. The weather has been stable for thousands of years. Two months before the winter sets in, the south-western monsoon rains depart. The autumn through September and October gradually opens the gate for westerly winds. Then a pleasant winter!    The short winter through December and January is said to be the most pleasant time throughout western India, where the weather has always been predictably moderate. The climate calendar always maintains doubtless punctuality. This time na...

Is Omicron an organised plot?

The world has begun to count up the Omicron cases. All the victims are vaccinated. Drug companies, vaccine makers and governments ordering lockdowns have their intentions. The next wave will throw up many uncomfortable questions. Again, the world pressed a panic button against the pandemic when it started waning. A warning much before the first case of the new SARS-CoV2 variant has emerged is only an effort of exaggeration with a suspicious intention. The warning bell rang two days before the Indian SARS-CoV2-Genomics Consortium confirmed the first two cases simultaneously in Karnataka.    Politicians started screaming; experts began free advice, and breaking news and stories flooded the media. For the news-starved media, it seems to be a celebration time. But under the bulldozer who g...
