Who owns the planet earth? None!  Humans have themselves decided that they are the owners of the land on earth. They can invade any part without any permission from other living beings on earth. They are storming into their space and forcing them to leave their homes and scatter to unsuitable places. Humans have occupied the entire land as intruders in other living beings' lives. Now the earth has become a malformed human colony violating every law of nature. Humans on the planet regard themselves as superior. But the fact is that the number of other living beings is much larger than human beings. In one of my earlier blogs, I wrote about ants. There are several times more ants that live on earth than human beings. Other living beings like insects and microbes are uncounta...

Ants follow an infallibly systematic life and jointly work hard to live in perfection. They maintain their colony safe and use their incredible talent to make their abode wonderful. Though an ant has a lifespan of fewer than four years, it follows the tradition of a million years without any change ever. A species non-extinct for over a million years speaks for their invulnerability to vagaries of climate and calamity thanks to their organic planning and execution. They have dominated the land to the extent they wanted and consolidated their position that humans cannot challenge. A big lesson from an insect is not an insult to humans, but a requisite.   We call the ant in many ways, mongi, cheeiti, urumb, etc. This insect, the largest group in the arthropod phylum, has i...

Today, after an exhausting life with the so-called Covid-19 (Coronavirus), the world is out of the blue, maybe for fear of another virus. The World Health Organisation (WHO) seems to bat for it. Yet there is no fear on the pitch because people had the worst of the virus to fear. What some high echelons expected was never in place completely.  The WHO seems unconcerned about the consequences of human-created “heating” or climate changes. But it does not want to co-relate these reasons. It is keen to divert the public attention to the rising ‘heat’ and engage the world in the talks of “global warming”. The global health body finds it illogical that the increase of a few degrees Celsius temperature variations is causing global warming. It simply manifests that a certain degree of tem...

It is not warm but an inferno. Global warming has entered the next stage of global infernos. This summer, Europe saw a summer inferno. Before that, the United States of America saw a heat wave killing more than 1300 people. We can never stop the sea waves; so can the heat waves. What is ensuing for humanity is a real conflagration.  Human life on earth without oxygen is impossible. In the modern world, human life is impossible without burning either biomass or fossil fuel. As much as the pollution burning fossil fuels releases, biomass also releases pollution. With the onset of industrialization in the second half of the 18th century, the size of fossil fuel burning rose 4000 times. Biomass burning did not decrease drastically, maintaining its contribution to pollution unchanged. ...

Nature is the mother of all knowledge, the source of all wisdom and the bed of watertight logic. It is the space for Shastra. Science may fail and kill the apostle of science but Shastra will not harm the one who has harmony with it because Shastra itself is nature. A short drive through the falsely ‘comparative’ terms.  Sometimes language does not give you the meaning of the exact word-equivalent of what you have in your mind. Modern language has a limited bandwidth to deal with the logical minds of humans. For that reason, a translation from oriental to western does not save the inner core of your thinking.  Some words carry the peripheral and superficial meaning of exact notions, especially if the language is modern. ‘Science’ is one of the words to have a parochial meaning,...

Every trouble one faces could find its root in the policies and customs that he has to follow. No one is free from the obstacles of one or the other at any moment of his life. Did anyone ever think what the human world would look like if no policies exist? We often boast about developing a system under a constitution that makes us accountable for our behaviour and misbehaviour. That leads to the consolidation of a political ecosystem rather than an ecosystem for natural living. We also say it is because we live under a reciprocal system and we are different from other living beings on the animal planet. Yes, the history of reciprocity of primates dates back millions of years, ever since humans spotted the spark of fire. History took humans through many tides and storms. The nature of r...

Medical mess is the next major social threat  Now we are in a situation of an unsuspecting python coiling around a primate’s body before it swallows. Medical education is the most expensive education in India now. Incidentally, the profession requires exceptional competence, humaneness, a high moral standard and a sense of commitment to society. All these benchmarks become frivolous when it becomes a buyable proposition through the corridor of private education. More doctors may only mean more burden to the unfortunate people and a heavier burden to society. Competence and morality must go together, and unfortunately, that is absent.  A certificate of medical degree makes a person a medical practitioner, no matter how competent the person could be. More than merit or money in hand i...

Now the Covid watching authority does not want to count the surging number of infections. They would count only serious hospitalisations. Couldn’t this equation have been workable earlier also? It could have. But that would have hit some businesses. But too much commotion did not create a corona-phobia after ruckus. It is time to prove that Covid is nothing but a fear that someone has created. The media and Covid experts have their stake in this. Now the media lens is shut on this once-hot scoop. The topic has expired, after an overdose Something that came like a pandemic is not serious now, experts believe. In the beginning, it was a necessity to get highlighted. Something which is not considered serious hardly creates a public fear. When you choose not to highlight an issue with a...
