BEGINNING OF CHAPTER 0



I don’t know why am I doing this, but I am pretty sure that one day or the other I had to do this. I tried a lot of avenues to explain my feelings. Explaining it to my parents, my brother, my wife, friends and so on but ultimately I believe a man’s best friend is the man himself. Sorry for change in the proverb / phrase and also the gender element that has simply crept in the words. Nonetheless, the truth remains the same and every person has to speak to itself. As somebody said, in LIFE, F is the only FACT, remaining is a LIE. This “fact” refers to the fact that we belong to the species where the “mind” works, speech is available and beyond everything, it has a cr “eat”ive thinking ability, which eats the species itself. Keeping all these thoughts aside for some time, I need to make myself clearer. All the while my thoughts remained to myself but of no use. So many thoughts I wanted to look back and wanted to link together are unavailable today. I hope this platform solves this problem, if not anything else. My thoughts centered on various matters have simply remained in a virtual world of my own, as everybody creates ( I suppose) and proof wise they are “0”. Well, I like the numeral 0. First of all, I have a basic doubt from my childhood, whether “0” is a numeral at all. If it is not number, then what else? An alphabet, a character or simply man made creation to show the unknown, unfathomable and unimaginable. Since I want to know myself more clearly, this series is termed as “sunilosophy” and this part I baptized “beginning of chapter 0”. For which I never expect any end of course. Credit should go to every person who made me embark on this. It would be very great failure on my part if I won’t acknowledge to atleast one person. Well he dates back to 606-647 AD of this sub-continent (name only), but he lives in the present and future too. This much anonymity is again a credit to the same person. For now, I take alpviram  here,…

Power of the Title RADHA

Once I read an article explaining the power of title "Michael". A Bollywood director named Bejoy Nambiar wanted "Michael" as title for his movie, but he couldn't do so because the same was registered in the name of one of the modern legendary Bollywood directors - Anurag Kashyap. Later, Bejoy named his movie DAVID. I wondered what is so attractive in MICHAEL, be it MICHAEL LEARNS TO ROCK or the character named MICHAEL in THE GODFATHER, the name itself creates vibrations in the minds of the viewers or readers, thus leading to an attraction of the name. In a similar fashion, I became fascinated with the word RADHA. Even though it is known for its feminine power owing to the most beloved of the Lord Krishna, the word has equal power even while pronouncing it.  It is as if the entire upper part of the body is involved in uttering the word RADHA. The feeling got further escalated when I saw the movie VANGAVEETI by RGV, in which, he has shown the male ...

Why I want my SMART one to be IDIOT again

As a kid, in 80s and early 90s, I remember waiting eagerly for Doordarshan programmes to begin, in the morning. Early in the morning, listening to "Vande Mataram", so melodiously sung, and watching the beautiful video, it made my day. The time was so perfect, that all our activities were linked to its broadcast, and I don't remember even a single deviation. The morning programmes, the feature of A FACE IN THE CROWD, etc. correctly defined "infotainment". Evenings, the entire family would watch the "News" together, followed by serials, which were definitely completed in a limited number of episodes. No useless fighting scenes, no show off, the serials used to depict characters, which every one could identify in the real life. The movies- weekends were delightful, with Saturday evening reserved for a Hindi feature film, and on Sundays, a regional language film in the afternoon, which was broadcast from Delhi and in the evenings, we used to have...

Polishing the Police-A Reform in a different perspective

Yama: Hi, you know the police people are like that. With lot of tensions and stress, they work and hence they do not understand the things better. Corruption has become part of life and they cannot avoid it. Its shameful to submit but this is the truth. Nachiketa: Yes I understand all this and the police is not to be blamed entirely for this.  With very pathetic infrastructure and terrible conditions, these things are bound to happen.  Right from the recruitment process the problems start. Concentration is more on the physical aspects as compared to the more subtle and important emotional/ mental aspects. Then the qualification comes. Except for some smart fellows in the organization who are well qualified, most of the ground level people are only having matriculation or at the best some graduate degree “passed”. Passing a graduation and seriously studying the same has a lot of difference.  Some smart fellows will not suffice for change to come. The salary struc...
