Devolution - iv

I don't write all my thoughts down. I write the ones that make a coherent reading for myself. But that is not how the thoughts develop. They do bring so many other variables. But the original thought that is developed from my experience has nothing to do with the new thoughts. Probably they are. However, I don't have any real life experiences for new thoughts. So, I can't develop them further. There is always an element of dishonesty when I write my thoughts down. Or when I develop certain models of phenomena based on those thoughts. But am I biased or hypocrite? Certainly not. I write down the thoughts that sound coherent to me and not that make a good reading or gratify me.

Devolution - iii

How can I liberate myself from all the taboos so that I no longer feel fear? How can I create situations that is free of ulterior motives so that I can express myself freely and be accepted without prejudice? Unfortunately, I'm not an empiricist. I do not know how to create my own experiments and gain experience.

I try to imagine. I try to imagine breaking taboos. It is so easy. But the only drawback is I have written scripts for other characters in my imagination.

I try to imagine. I try to imagine the good situations and the bad ones. I pose questions. I find the answers. So far so good. But then it's just a dead end. I don't know whether I have to call it dead end. But it is something like that. I no longer have anything to probe but I haven't arrived at anything.

Need for the caste system - iii

I think some Supreme Court judge

- Caste system was based on 'division of labour'. This was advocated by Adam Smith too.

Need for the caste system - ii

I suppose a columnist

- Why we still have so many leading billionaires from the Vaisya caste? Credit should go to our much maligned caste system.
- In any country, upper 20% doesn't require government intervention. However, government has to take care lower 20%

Need for the caste system - i

A friendly Brahmin giving a watercooler sermon;

- Drona saw Ekalavya misusing his amazing talent on a dog

The last of Embarrassments

[At Bengaluru airport]
[Lady at the counter] : Oh, your ticket has been booked in the name of Mangalore
[I]: Yes
[Lady at the counter] : Mangalore :-) :-)
[I]: Yes
[Lady at the counter] : Mangalore is a place name. No? :-) :-) :-)
[I]: Yes
[Lady at the counter] : Your place name is given in the ticket.
[I]: ...
[I]: Mangalore is my second name.
[Lady at the counter] : Oh, don't mind. I thought it was a mistake.

Closing the blog

May be because of my less intelligence I'm bored. The motivation for this blog was to improve my English skills. By my own assessment I have been a spectacular failure in that objective. I don't like my own words. And five years is too long a time for that project and it has to be scrapped.

Thank you readers and thank you for your comments! I'll keep this blog open for one more day so that you know that I'm closing it.
