Why do the poor people like, admire and observe the politics with so much enthusiasm

Politics, as seen in the newspaper, stands at the intersection of laws, governance, and realpolitik.

Often, this is what poor people admire and look up to because it offers them a chance to reach it. The system of democracy allows them to make their way to this opportunity.

They need not excel in the craft of public administration, policy-making, or discharging judicial functions. They only need to engage in some realpolitik, such as supporting certain seniors and betraying a few others at the opportune moment. That is enough to bring them the fruits of politics.

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

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

विधि (Laws ) और प्रथाओं (Customs ) के बीच का सम्बन्ध

विधि (Laws ) और प्रथाओं (Customs ) के बीच का सम्बन्ध  (हिंदी भाषा में सीधा अनुवाद   http://rebirthofreason.com/Articles/Perigo/Law_vs_Custom.shtml ) अपने एक उत्कृष्ट निबंध , " अभी पूर्ण न्याय नहीं हुआ है " ( " Not Enough Justice ") में लेखक जो राओलैंड निष्-भाव दार्शानियों को अक्सर दी जाती विधि और कानून सम्बन्धी उस चुनौती पर प्रकाश डालते है जिसमे की कुछ इस तरह की विवाद आते है जिसमे कोई कानून का उलंघन तो नहीं हुआ होता है मगर अन्याय ज़रूर हुआ होता है, जिसमे की उदहारण आता है : किसी पशु पर की जाने वाला अमानवीय व्यवहार; या , किसी माता-पिता द्वारा अपनी संतान को शिक्षित न करने का निर्णय; या एक बॉयफ्रेंड जो की अपनी प्रेमिका को भावनात्क्मक तौर पर पीड़ित करता है ; या , एक पत्नी जो सिर्फ घास-पात का पका भोजन ही परोसती है /                 इन सभी क्रियाओं में किसी विधि का उलंघन नहीं है, मगर एक किस्म का अन्याय होता है / किसी फुरसत के विचारों जब इस उदाहरण पर गौर करे जिसमे एक पत्नी सिर्फ घास-पात वाला भोजन ही परोसती है , तो यह खास ध्याने देने का विचार है की किसी को घास पात
