Potel Land?

Nagaland,  Bodoland, Khalistan. Eelam and now Potelland ….every time such movements aimed at tearing India apart do not come from mere hot figure heads, like Hardik Patel.
They are largely funded by those who fled, rather than cope with the problems of the Motherland – who now look back and see India is progressing and carrying her past and present with her into the future.   They rage and curse their decision and then find ways of funding movements to pull India back from the path of progress.
Hence the unedifying spectacle of the Patels who spearheaded the demand to do away with reservations -- for those who had suffered centuries of neglect --- now demanding reservations for themselves.  
Those who have almost taken over the motel trade in the US are now demanding reservations in India, threatening to march to the UN, in their BMWs and Toyotas perhaps, and refuse to pay taxes. 
Even a call to withdraw money from banks. When did Patels keep the bulk of their cash in banks?

For what? A few extra medical or engineering seats that  are reserved and taken by students who score just a couple of percentage points less than the general category students these days!!
Were the authorities foolish enough to give in to the Patel demands,  how many of the Patel newly minted medicos would actually go to serve out their six months internship in rural  areas.    They do sign bonds to do so, but how many pay up front to skip the rural stint?

Who then will serve in the villages?  Who will make the difference in that arena?  Potels?

Deepika Vs Madhuri

The music channels are full of the  “Deewani Mastani” song. It takes one back Madhuri Dixit’s so many kg ghagra kothawali dance in Devdas.  Pet obsession? Chitpavan women would never be caught in public watching such a performance, as Priyanka Chopra is seen, with perhaps the most authentic expressions crossing her face as she looks on at the interplay between Ranveer Singh and Deepika Padukone. Deepika, in   her pale gold avatar in a net outfit reminiscent of flamenco dancers, with many   co-dancers, seems to inhabit the same Madhuri  space.   She dances in a huge ornate space, more European than Peshwai in design.    Peshwai architecture was noted for its long, perhaps narrow halls and tall distinctively fluted and carved wooden columns based on stone to prevent damp and   insect damage --- all topped with intricately carved wood ceilings and all polished black in color.   Noted examples are the Mastani resurrected palace at the world renowned Kelkar Museum in Pune and the

Age-old Patriarchy??

  All our Puranas n mythologies are basically stories created to propagate concepts that the writers were promoting. and every subsequent re-writer gilded the previous -- the whole system elastic enough to accommodate differences and flavors to cater to different cultures, North, South, E ast, West, etc. So how about Our (2021) interpretations? They said Parvati created Ganesh from her own body.  Doesn't every woman fashion babies in her womb; nourished by her intake, the fetus becomes a baby in 9 months. No Immaculate Conception --  perhaps Shivji slipped away from his boisterous pals for a romantic rendezvous.  Voila! Baby boy Hua! Could have happened?? Hai an! Did that make Shivji n Parvati first human parents?   Kya khayal hai? Another conundrum: That solid wall of Patriarchy of ancient times. Was it really so solid? Why was Vidur called Daasi Putra when his father Ved Vyas also fathered Drithrashtra n Pandu too? Why was Krishna called Devaki Nandan? His father was King Vas

Where do we go? Pitralok Congames?

What is the meaning behind Hindu last rites?   Mental rifling and Google Baba on death show     our ancient Vedas have lyrical hymns to Man’s relationship with Nature, plus ways and means of dealing with it,   that were unfortunately overpowered   by   Brahminical platitudes and money-making practices, but the essence has   survived. The soul/Atman is immortal. It is released at the Antyeshti rituals that return the body to the five elements, air, water, fire, earth and space…denoted in the Rigveda, section 10.16: “Burn him not up, nor quite consume him, Agni: let not his body or his skin be scattered, O all possessing Fire, when thou hast matured him, then send him on his way unto the Fathers.When thou hast made him ready, all possessing Fire, then do thou give him over to the Fathers,   When he attains unto the life that waits him, he shall become subject to the will of gods. The Sun receive thine eye, the Wind thy Prana (life-principle); go, as thy merit is, to earth or heaven
