Fruit for Thoughts

Jack was humming his favorite song while cleaning his lawn, 3 gunshots broke his concentration, leaving him aghast.   Anna doing dishes and gunshots scared her so much that two dishes, which were in her hands hit the floor and rest was history.   Kasey was busy with her online violin classes when gunshots shattered her rhythm.   Scott was identifying stocks to buy, on his laptop when he heard the shots.   All of them rushed out with countless questions on their faces.   Jack, “guys have you heard the gunshots?”   “Yes, I heard three of them and I guess they were fired at Charlie’s place,” said Anna.   Sobbing Kasey, “I am really worried, I hope my bandmate Sally is OK. Please, shall we go and check?”   “Yes, we must go and check, if everything is alright,” said Jack.   All of them rushed to house # 308 C, where Charlie stays with his wife Susana and daughter Sally. They rang the doorbell, knocked at the door called on their ...

Is there a war on cards between two Asian giants - India and China? Is the world going to witness WW-III in 2020? Are we sitting on a ticking time boom? Is history (of 1962) going to repeat itself? Will we see dragon and tiger locking their horns again? Answers to these questions are hidden under tides of time, which will be unveiled soon. In this blog, we will try and understand two aspects of Indo-Sino standoff. The First aspect is why China has switched gears and adopted so aggressive stance. Secondly how the dragon is trying to achieve its objectives? Quoted or unquoted there are 5 reasons why China is behaving so aggressively:   1. Its internal unrest and issues: due to COVID-19 and it’s after effects, China’s economic situation is not very good. Unemployment is causing unrest among the masses. Companies (foreign) are shutting down their operations and moving out of China, adding further fuel to fire. Drop-in exports post COVID-19 made the things grimmer. 2. I...

Mayan Calendar If we have to believe a tweet dated 12th of June 2020, our earth will end in the next 4 days i.e. 21st of June’2020 will be the last day for our beloved earth. So far in 2020 mankind has witnessed COVID -19, Wild/forest fires, cyclones, earthquakes, volcanoes, locust attack, aviation disasters, geo-political unrest among various countries - is there anything left in this dreadful year to be witnessed by mankind or we are done?  As per the newly spun conspiracy theory, the worst is yet to come - it will come in a form of a planet colliding with earth and reducing it to bits and pieces and this is due to happen on the 21st of this month.   Dooms Day As per the theory put forward by Paolo Tagaloguin - the scientist claiming that the world will end on 21st of June’2020 - the mystery/logic behind this theory is in the efforts of mankind put together about 268 years ago while switching to Gregorian calendar from Julian calendar. Almost the entire world is us...

एक वैज्ञानिक के ट्वीट के अनुसार आज से पाँच दिनो बाद  यानी 21 जून को दुनिया का अंत हो जायेगा ।   वर्ष 2020 में अभी तक मानवता ने कितना कुछ देखा - कोरोना वाईरस , जंगलो की भयंकर आग , भूकम्प , टिड्डी दल का आतंक , ज्वालामुखी विस्फोट , चक्रवाती तूफ़ान , विमान हादसे , सामाजिक व राजनीतिक उठा पटक - अभी हाल ही में भारत व चीन के बीच बढ़ता तनाव जो कभी भी युद्ध का रूप ले सकता है । इन सब ने मिल कर मानवता को घोर निराशा व अंधकार के भँवर में डाल दिया है ।     क्या बस हमें इतना ही झेलना था या अभी भी कुछ बाक़ी है ?    क्या मानवता पर अभी कोई अन्य बड़ी विपदा आना बाक़ी है ? एक नई थियोरी के अनुसार जो की माया कलेण्डर के   पुनः विश्लेषण या कहे पुनः   गणना   पर आधारित है   जिसके अनुसार 21 जून 2920 को दुनिया का अंत हो जायेगा । अपनी इस कथन के समर्थन में उस   वैज्ञानिक का अपना तर्क भी है । तर्क   के   अनुसार आज से लगभग 268 वर्ष पूर्व   कलेण्डर में किये गये बदलावों में इसका रहस्य छुपा है ।   पाओलो तागलोगुइन ( जिस   वैज्ञानिक न...

मेरे पिछले ब्लोग (जीवन का खेल व इसके नीयम - 1 )   https://www.blogger.com/blog/post/edit/8690807551965942861/4010363514785029537  में हम ने सिक्के का एक पहलू - समस्या को देखने का    प्रयतन   किया ।  इस ब्लोग में हम सिक्के के दूसरे पहलू - समाधान को देखने का प्रयतन करेंगे । हम ने इस बात पर चर्चा की थी कि अनिश्चिताओं से भरे आज के समय में , जहाँ हम सब कुछ अपने काबू में नहीं कर सकते - सब कुछ अपने अनुसार नहीं कर सकते - वित्तीय स्वतंत्रता या आत्मनिर्भता बेहद जर्रूरी है । यदी आप वित्तीय रूप से  आत्मनिर्भता हैं तो आप काफ़ी हद तक सुरक्षित हैं ।  वित्तीय  आत्मनिर्भता बेहद ज़रूरी है । यह बात किसी से छुपी नहीं है कि आज हम सभी एक ऐसे समय में जी रहे है जो  अनिश्चिताओं से भरा हुआ है । इस बात से कोई फ़र्क़ नहीं पड़ता कि आप आज क्या कर रहे है , आप कितना अच्छा कमा रहे है - आप आने वाले समय के प्रती १००% आस्वस्त हो कर नहीं रह सकते । अगर मै कहूँ कि आज हम सब कम ओ बेस उस कगार पर हैं कि रोज कुँआ खोदो तथा रोज पानी पियो, तो कोई अतिशयोक्तिपूर्ण बात नहीं होगी । ...
