Shani's shani

Shani’s shani

Its history made in a tiny village in Maharashtra. Women let in to….. No forced their way into the Shani temple of shingnapur. Reforms and transformations had been a part of Hinduism, which is proved by its very existence from times immemorial as it is natures law that whatever resists change (evolution) will perish. So one fact made clear Hinduism is going to thrive for long.

           But Shani who is known to take people for a ride from the days of Nala & Harishchandra faced the music. Did u know no house in Shingnapur village have doors, the reason being a strong belief that Shanidev protected them. As Shani’s time went bad he had to be given few tiers of protection by armed policemen.

                With acquired strength, legal support and media coverage the activists have turned attention to other shrines where they feel discrimination exists. First  being sabarimala.

                Though believers say, the diety is a “Brahmachari” and follows it as a vow, menstruating women should stay away. Activists and elite panelists of various TV channels feel it is discrimination against womanhood. It is very difficult to convince them as they are determined not to be convinced. So let events happen the way it is going to be. The activists will approach courts and get a ruling, politicians will be cautious in taking sides, strong Devasom board will find difficult to balance belief with reality and may succumb to pressure. Now the other way, nothing to worry income will double for the super rich shrine with increased foot fall, infrastructure and security concerns will get privilege at the shrine to accommodate women.

                “Believers will continue to believe, Reformers will continue their reforms”- here again natures law comes into actions (Survival Of The Fittest) Strong believes prevail others perish. One belief will remain TALL and STRONG that’s HINDUISM by assimilating all reforms changes criticisms and revolts.

Bhag Mallya Bhag

Bhag mallya mallya

              The first time I saw a Kingfisher was in your label. Even now never seen the bird in the concrete jungle, where I live. Heard ED had issued 3rd notice. Don’t know how much they can issue as per their SoP. You were poster boy of the country a few years ago. You were celebrated as a patriot when you brought back the Tipu Sultan sword a decade ago from an English auction house. But good times have changed. Along with you even Tipu Sultan is being made controversial.

             “God”…. Now I remember you even bringing Mahatma’s things over auction. But sure ‘Father of The Nation’ will be spared from petty politics. We Indians are well known to forget things too fast. As we forgot your deeds of patriotism we will soon forget your financial mischief’s    and you will come out same old flamboyant , maybe Phoenix be your brand symbol then.

             You were the first desi to change the outlook  of our Indian calendars you were our banner to say to the world that even India have zero size models. Those poor things,  have you taken them along with you.

               In India it had always been a scene that the borrower  (mainly farmers) commit suicide owing to the lenders pressure. It’s you who is set to change that bourgeois tic  custom, as don’t know how many lenders are to die unnatural deaths.

              Many suggest you in tabloids to sell off your cruise, jet,  F1 team some dump heads suggest  even your brewery shares. But being a real well wisher I would suggest , take on all notices, lead a cool life in a English county for few years, then a time will come when a finance minister will announce that your case is settled by sending few retired bank officers behind bars and writing off your debts by introducing .5% entertainment cess. Till then Bhag Mallya Bhag.

              Forgot a personal question, Is your son’s spikes still erect.

                                                                                                            A Thought The Other Way Round

                                                                                                                       Hareesh Aravindakshan.
