Debt free life
My itch to pen down my views cannot be arrested in spite of my heavy schedule…
When you put in some hard cash in savings account, you but naturally expect some amount of interest returns on it. At the other end, when you are granted a loan from a bank, they too expect some amount of interest on the principal amount. But, it’s a bitter truth that quantum of interest against loan is fairly more than that paid for a savings account for the same amount. This has been an implicit principle, tradition rather, for centuries together.
Metamorphic ally, when it comes to one’s ‘living’, the scenario is somewhat similar. Everything has some exceptions this has some too, let me come to them later. So, when one does something for someone, it is assumes or something like that, the thing/person will be returning back the doings with some interest in may be the same form or in different forms. From the perspective of the one for which the something has been done, he continuously lives in a sort of hysteresis that he ‘owes’ something to the one who has done something for him. He lives to pay off the debt which he is submerged in, may be virtually, and doesn’t exist for his Self. From the perspective of the one who has done something, he just lives to enjoy his share of interest.
A bit deeper, there are the ones who bargain over the interest they mean to pay as debt but when it comes to pay someone’s interest for their doings, they pay off what they think is appropriate.
My personal view is that, both the ends are stupid! Their lives are striated with the ‘want’ (Not need, it’s something which one deserves, want is something which one desires) for the interest for something they have done or the other end in the trauma of finding resources to pay off the debt.
This professionalism in banking is implicit, but I am worried that there isn’t any irony between this professionalism and socialism. How some traditions in profession can can become principles in one’s life. This is harmful for the existence of mankind (Man-KIND).
If I give try to give away a solution, I may find myself at the bullet point harming my very existence. The solution I will provided is fairly simple to say, but equally difficult to implement. Never Expect Anything, neither for your doings nor for other one’s…Live debt free & let live debt free..!
But, this is pretty difficult, with the present diplomatic junta, but is not impossible. If you start, the world will too. Someone has wisely said “The reasonable man adapts himself to the world; the unreasonable one persists in trying to adapt the world to himself. Therefore, all progress depends on the unreasonable man”

Too much, too less…

You have a task in hand and you’re getting along fine, maybe in an absent-minded kind of way, then something happens, you start thinking about what you’re doing and the whole operation goes to pieces. Our conscious mind has a weird way of messing up activities for no reason, when it comes to chose one of the many tasks to do. The only solution out of this is to give lesser options to our immature mind which will make it a bit easier for it to go with one specific task. May be it will prefer to go with 2-3 tasks, being in this 21st century, where multi-tasking is, a pretty popular asset for a one to possess.

There’s a critical threshold to everything. The quantum threshold varies from person to person and situation to situation. Nobody will dare to advocate Mark Twain’s quote ‘Too much of anything is bad’ when it comes to water, food, money, knowledge, love, kindness, joy, sex, etc. But, believe me or not, too much of any of these things is bad too. Take for instance water, food, etc excess of which may lead to death even. Excess of knowledge, love etc is surely a debatable issue. Knowledge surely is never in excess, unless one doesn’t use it at a proper place and at a proper time and it becomes a burden for him. Excess of love from parents may become a headache but when it comes to love from girlfriend, it’s a pretty good ‘asset’! Personal issue; Sorry to peep in..!

No doubt there are some abstract things; it’s my personal view, excess of which makes us proud .Take for instance, the willingness to help other. But, feeling proud or feeling ashamed, rather, loaded, with the excess of this specific thing depends on the charity of the mind of the person. So, it’s a personal issue again.

I am, unable to come to conclusion and I guess all are, whether excess of anything is bad or good. It may be said that, the quote by Mark Twain is true in general sense.

To me personally, excess of anything is bad. Too much thinking of anything is the worst thing, to you and also to the person whom you are thinking of. So, think too less. Willingness to help others is an exception to the quote.

Developing India..!!

Hello…

Myself Mr.Gurudatta S. Joglekar, a fresher to this blog world…

So, let this blog be treated accordingly, as a set of ideas from a fresher…studying electrical engineering in WCE sangli…a so called budding engineer…J

This blog may act as a bridge between the current hot topic of Indo-US nuclear deal and the topic which is debatable from decades about the overall system, rather the body/structure, of government of/in India.

‘Do we relish from the present parliamentary system of government or is this the time to switch on to the presidential system which may serve us better.’

‘Every coin has two sides’. So do both the systems namely, presidential and parliamentary. They do have their own pros and cons and I doubt that the pros of the presidential system overweigh the ones of the present parliamentary system…

As far as the present governing system is concerned, it is nothing but coalition of one government into another, decline of parties, etc. Majority parties are no exception for this..!! Major parties decline [may be all this is preplanned…after all it’s a matter of just 8-10 bundles of hard cash], the minorities take advantage of this and they take the lead, the government is theirs…But, a minority party can hardly represent nation’s interests…Now, stepping towards the next noteworthy point…Is the Hon’ble Prime Minister always a leader..!!?!! Because he may also be elected as a compromise choice of the post election process/coalition…It may happen that too much power is concentrated on the shoulders of the fresh/minor/weak centre..!!! It’s hard to say that the present governing system doesn’t work well…rather this quote suits the situation..:
“It’s messy, but it works !!!”

The present nuclear deal is not a deal as the name goes…rather I will say it’s more of a process which is bringing to light the “Low” of our parliament, rather of the parliamentarians. In spite of the statement by a political leader that ‘the present price of an MP is 25 crore Rs, we have faith in our government. In spite of a politician producing [may be dramatically] a bag full of cash in the house, we say that we have faith in our government…!!! The speaker, amidst all this, should be praised for his noteworthy job.

We, the Indians, vote the legislators even if we do not know them or know a little of them. Looking at the components of this system…Studies say that an MP is , on an avg, worth Rs.1.8 crores. The individual wealth varies from 11,000 crore to Rs.67 crore..!! More to this, a quarter plus have criminal cases registered against them…
In spite of all this we say that we have faith in our government…!!! Cheers…!!!

Agreed, that this system has been running through decades, the present prestige/dignity of India is all due to this system…But, should we just dream of the prestige India would have relished if the above mentioned points would have been eradicated…!!?

The recent phase of the government may be indicating us to switch on from the Westminster model to the presidential system…A strong, capable centre with stiff shoulders to transform the ‘developing India’ to ‘developed India’ as soon as possible is the need of the day…This specific person with the tag of president may be directly elected by the people…for a fixed tenure for sure..:)..may be he will be accessible to both the houses….may be he will eradicate the corruption at different stages of the house [even if it persists, less the number of stages in the house, less is the corruption], may be he will stabilize the [may be]presently unstable India...

No doubt there are some abstract things which may be ignored. e.g., some may say that how can A human being represent such a diverse nation..? Is there any assurance of the interests of the minorities being considered by the person…? What if the person under the tag of a ‘President’ becomes a ‘Dictator’..!!!?!!!!

After all it’s up to us to transform the above ‘may be he will’ sentences into ‘he surely will’ ones..!!!

“ No sensible decision can be made any longer without taking into account not only the world as it is, but the world as it will be…”
