Idealism, and the net account of the Compromises and Sacrifices

     An Idealist can never come to power in a vastly opinionated country as our. I guess he should neither even be coming over.
    However, the bitter truth of life i wish to remind the readers of this post  is that no able and successful leader can afford to make expansive departure from the IDEALS either. Indeed, the minor unavoidable departures that one has to make is what is truly described in philosophical terms as PRAGMATISM. Many foolish people in our country think that meaning of Pragmatism is about being Conscience less. Indeed, Conscience-less condition is truly a Psychopath, which can only yield cruel, deceitful , autocratic person whom many other foolish people may mistake for an able, successful leader.
    Party Politics is surely about making compromises. But then Politics is the art and science of Good Governance. All the People can be fooled, but not always and neither for ever. Hence, a successful leader is one whose compromises don't go into his soul of changing the objective of Good Governance. People who sacrifice while yet making the compromise make a better leader. It is time we begin to teach our own thoughts the near aaccurate reasons for when one should make a compromise and when one should make a sacrifice. The judgement is truly an art, and more a matter of public perceptions.
     Given the electoral successes being enjoyed by Kejriwal, and the drubbing being given to Modi, i can say that public perceptions of Kejriwal's Compromises and Sacrifices is better than that of Narendra Modi's.

The Orals

The Orals That’s how we popularly know them. The popular name gives an innuendo of that pleasure act equally popular in our MMS-crazed generation but, here, is actually a short form for Oral Examinations conducted by the Mercantile Marine Department (MMD) of Ministry of Shipping, India, for certification of merchant naval officers. The final steps towards acquiring any grade of licenses involves a face-to-face interview with examiners of MMD, known as Surveyors as per the provisions of the MS Act, 1958, and entails examination of our technical and managerial knowledge. The results of all MMD exams are best described by a well-known maritime adage –‘Sea yields out whatever goes in it; it does not eat away anything.’ Yes, that’s right, one day or the other we all pass. But then like all humans have a need for some challenge to give them reasons to live, we have devised the challenge in passing the exams in ‘first shot’. Over these years of revampe

Why say "No" to the demand for a Uniform Civil Code in India

 What is Uniform Civil Code? Uniform Civil Code (UCC) is a set of laws that apply equally to all residents regardless of their sexual orientation, gender, or affiliation with a particular religion. It means that all sections of society, irrespective of their religion, shall be treated equally according to a national civil code, which shall be applicable to all uniformly. The code covers areas like marriage, divorce, maintenance, inheritance, adoption, and succession of property Which democracies have the UCC ? A simple Google Search will reveal that the US does not have UCC, in that, each state is allowed to have it's own laws for governing the personal laws of the citizens. The Google Search will reveal that France, Australia and and the United Kingdom have something of the " Uniform " Civil Code. But a deeper search of what is " uniform " in these countries wil reveal that it only means a set of laws applying homogenously across all the sub-divisions of the c

About the psychological, cutural and the technological impacts of the music songs

About the psychological, cutural and the technological impacts of the music songs. Jagjit Singh's gazal CDs were the ones which would run the franchise shops called as the Planet M, the Music World , all of which are now extinct. Today, I will say that this singer's work single handed ran the buisness of these shops. Because every trip to these shops meant that the customer would not return back without buying out atleast one piece of an item, — in the least he would do a purchase of one CD having a collection of Jagjit Singh's gazals. As for us, as sailors, in Indian ports we used to buy CDs of his songs; and from China, we used to buy English Songs. Sometimes me and my friends would laugh out at how many CDs we had collected of the same set of songs, in which , just the order of the songs was little different from an other collection in a CD that we already owned. The era from mid '90s upto 2010's was that of the music albums. I remember the name of one of the e
