Males of the species beware!

The whole patriarchical structure of society is a plan of survival by the males of the species called Homo Sapiens. Look around you will find nature does not really need males of the any species and role of male is limited to providing stimulus to the egg to develop into a zygote! and nothing beyond. In any case sexual reproduction is a method to tide over difficult time and in a situation of abundance all the species would like to multiply asexually which is so much more faster! In case of human beings we have lost the ability of asexual reproduction, however where the nature stopped, technology has taken over. How much time from now, when the males would just be seen as sperm donors?

Woman of the species have reddefined their roles in last one century, but males have tried to hold on to the age old roles. Its high time they also redefined their roles and created a new relevance in the society which is not defined by the traditional roles.

God’s own enterprise

Every time I visit the great Gods of Chinna Mastika, Deoghar, Baba Vishwanath, Siddhi Vinayak or Sirdi Sai Baba, I am in awe. These gods have been kind to me and blessed me in many ways. But the sense of awe is for a very differen reason, I am amazed by the industrialization of the the whole thing. Its an industry in its own right.

The priest brigade, the prasad sellers, the hawkers. Not to talk of the hospitality and travel industry that comes up to support the whole pilgrimage business.

At times I do wonder if its God's way of blessing the local populace with a livelihood opportunity, I think this is the case.

Capitalism to Socialism

We all would remember the old joke about the socialism and communism. Seems all the isms are cyclically linked or what would explain the phenomenon post the global melt down. No doubt that the private enterprise created wealth, but it did so for a few who were part of the game. However when the losses started coming in, it was the government who had to come forward and do the bail out.
Now in a democratic set up, its us the people who make the government and its our (tax payers) money that is getting used to bail out the large corporations. Have no doubts its clearly capitalism of profit and socialism of losses.

I feel like clapping at the irony, the trickle down effect of wealth creation takes ages, but socialism of losses ensures that everyone is impacted.
