INTRODUCTION
This author began using computers as IBM Mainframes for technical and scientific work at IIT Delhi in 1970..
SInce then, rapid developments have excited this author hugely. Computing devices in varied shapes and sizes with or without the internet are essential for scientific analysis.
Along with internet computing devices have became a tool for many things including social interactions, loving ones as well as exploitation and crime. The level of crime varies from a latin american who loves to visit New York in summer vacations for raping and robbing in and around Manhattan plus selling enough life addicting drugs to sweet NY kids to pay forvhis annual tition fees as well as his aged parents annual expenses. He is a great fan of the American democratic party for opening the borders for all this that to his naive mind is just good fun that everyone indulges in. To prove his loyalty he has a picture of Hillary Clinton holding hands of a tall rugged black guy in Haitian rags below a picture of a virgin mother in his bedroom. He fixes his trip through a whatsapp group that is into green amazon peace groups that specify what drugs abd viruses he must carry this time and a chain of contacts through Mexico. Internet quickly fixes alternatives for him if one fails and sends money instantly if he runs out if it. Conclusion is internet in 2024 is being used more fir heinous crime. Minds of whatvused to be sensible college students is now dulled through a triple assault of sexual indulgence, drugs and psychological.manipulations of mind on social media and applications that go

Fig leafs have been provided to many in previous discourse but the huge bulge on it is self apparent.
On the immensely positive side one could connect with friends and family all over the world. ,l Search engines helped locate long lost friends too. For all of us to be able to remain in touch with our life ling loved ones is a huge bonus. Yes there are the hermit types or professors who do not seem to need that but it helps even this lot to collaborate with other like minded individual around the world and get their word out to a world in need of it.
Nevertheless, soon after 2000 dangers of viruses, hacking, identity and thefts began to become increasingly worrisome. By 2024 today it has become fearful and life threatening, not just for the ordinary joe but also for world leaders and powerful.nations.
In 2019 this author met with serious life threatening bone injuries repeatedly caused by evil that had dwelt on Earth since the beginning to put it metaphorically. It included poisoning and it was organized largely through a whatsapp network and AI tools for evil..
This required interrupting most things a human does to deal with medical issues. It was impossible to sit up and work on a computer except for brief intervals with pain killing medicines that dulled the mind.
Travel for treatment between Jaipur, New Delhi and Nainital District in Himalayas resulted in mobile phones being stolen. Best to skip on details here. They are available elsewhere.
At the beginning of 2024, injuries healed enough to start returning to normal activities, albeit slowly.
To resume activities on the net there was a need to reactivate old email accounts that were locked up with a lot of essential personal information, on google, yahoo and microsoft.
My accounts had been locked up and it became hellish to get them revived again.
Even worse, changes that had come in my five years of absence, the Deterioration that began at the turn of millenium had accelerated. Seems now that while human methods of working were dependent on use of the internet, it had become harassing. Its misuse by criminals all over the world was resulting in blatant thefts and deaths of millions.
In a separate write I wrote on how the corona virus was born because of it. Essentially it made possible a gangvrape orgy by over forty persons over a period of three days in a forest with tigers. Later the eating of human remains of a victim filled with every possible virus that was around created by a viral symbiosis virus so huge ( around 300 Microns) that it shocked the scientific community. The post covid era was here. This author’s decades long study suggests it shall last for twelve years. An extract from it shall be included in print versions of the present book.
Changes in cycles
Obviously nothing can deteriorate indefinitely or improve indefinitely. what goes up, comes down; and what goes down comes up after it has reached rock bottom.
The belief of this author is that the internet can be healed to become a largely useful tool free of fear again.
It has to be done in a simple way that is easily implementable by lawmakers.
Lawmakers understand power of internet as well as its dangers, but they don't understand its inner workings. They can be misled by vested interests making a profit out of chaos.
The present author has reasonable expertise to suggest changes that are quick to implement and end the terror of evil internet. It Shall be good for all concerned in the long run, even criminals, making life easier for all.

INTERNET REFORM BEGINS WITH EMAIL
How does a human or organization on earth communicate with another on the internet?
The answer to that is by device and an email address or phone number .
A device being a physical thing can change many times through human life.
It may break or get obsolete. Humans may acquire new devices in new places. They get stolen too. A couple fell out from my pocket into a hundred feet deep lake in Nainital.
Four of my smartphones were wilfully stolen in Kanpur India in August 2019 it seems. It was from a hotel room I had rented for a night.
conclusion is
A device or a phone number has no permanence
but
An email address address can be permanent for life easily just like a national identification number.
In Fact it should be.
It will cause a huge reform in internet services . This publication shall explain how it can be done.
furthermore your email address should be your property including its passwords not of the internet company that provides the service.
when you leave it to the company they may give you funny difficult to remember for life email address like
jackSon can arsec 7456t68
soon after when you forget the address, in fact they know you will, they shall keep suggesting,
forgot your address?
create a new one
we shall give you fifty new ones
and keep sending warnings
change your password
vow whee you shall spend endless hours on our site and never visit facebook
and notifications shall fill your email box so you shall miss the one from.your papa that your mama is dead and has left her precious diaminds for you. Next yearcwhen youbreach home yourvdad shall ask in tears,
‘ your mama loved you so, why did
you hate her, she even left her million dollar diamond collection for you, broke my heart to drop it into the hat on Church Sunday. Mind you they have a swanky new facade from it.”
you beating your head on the wall. Your dad lounges out from his wheelchair to stop you, crashes on the floor and dies too. You all found dead by sunday, the end of the grand wilkinson de Gaulle
the family name is made up but scenario is not at all unreal. It has happened to thousands. Worse to me personally.
THEREFORE TJE CONCLUSION IS THAT NEITHER YOUR EMAIL ADDRESS NOR ITS PASSWORDS SHALL BE PROPERTY OF ANY COMPANY OR EVEN A GOVERNMENT AGENCY BUT YOURS AND YOURS ALONE AND IT MUST BE SET FOR LIFE JUST LIKE YOUR SOCIAL INSURANCE NUMBERS OR NATIONAL IDENTIFICATION NUMBERS ARE.
IS IT FEASIBLE
YES AND VERY EASY AND FULLY SECURE TOO AS SHALL BE EXPLAINED PRESENTLY.
What about the company that gives you a pretty email box and all? their tail shall be there
such as
@amial.com @fmail.com or @naughtygirladswithyourmail.com etc
or
@cia.com @chinaGovernment.com etc.
This tail you can change as many times as you like and in fact one may have many for different works or for padding up social network sites
but
your email address and passwords shall be your property. All it will require is five minutes of the President ‘s or Supreme Court's time to make it happen from next month.
will someone lose?
for sure, that nice looking pedophile salesman of kiddy books who keeps grooming kids all over the US with a false identity , a mask and a chloroform spray. He shall lose out. It shall no longer be possible to have a false internet identity with this simple modification and five minutes of Scotus or Whitehouse time.
your email box shall not be hacked but if so in rarest of rare cases the hacker shall be caught within hours and sent to sing sing .
Not necessary that US should start this reform, any other country like India, Russia or China can. Rest will be obliged to follow suit within months or there populations shalk either vote them out or kick them out depending on what is customary in the nation. Some might do it with a wild chant and spears in their reveal all grass skirts.
New EMail Scheme
Sample Executive Order
It is with pleasure that I, PrimevMinster of Kingdom of Piland announce that tyranny of email addresses comes to an end in our Kingdom
Henceforth all citizens shall have the following email address assigned to them on the day their unique National Social Insurance Identification numbers are. It shall be
firstname/CN(country of birth/ NUMBER@XG or whatever service provider you choose
therefore an email address would look like
John /CN/65@gxmail
note just first two alphanumeric characters shall be posted in emails and a .com has been dropped as an unnecessary organ no longer needed. Two blank spaces are inserted after name to become a person stand out from the crowd.
There shall be henceforth two passwords, both numeric, and no funny characters allowed, called special by a world.
Moreover the passwords, both five characters long, shall be chosen by you by pulling out inedible plastic biscuits from a box not shaped like a bikini or superman's underwear.
six characters have been chosen because all of you shall live around 40000 days and it shall take ming ming several.billion years to work out your address since by our further order internet companies are ordered to lock internet boxes for 24 hours after five wrong guesses
fir our school.children the maths is
40000/ 5 = 8000 days
and because there are two random passwords a minimum of
100000 multiplied by 8000 days
If there is an imp willing to work that long to hack my email address and see my naughty pic that i sent to my wife, he deserves to see it.
Drop in for a beer buddy!
cheers all readers. There is hope out there and where there is hope there is life. May even the end of world become good news, the biblical gospel for you.

In pursuit of a greener and happier planet with inspiration drawn from the Himalayas
Earth Today - Five Countries in Heaven and Five in Hell
There is much variation in the quality of life on our planet, from hell like conditions to heaven like conditions. At the present time if one went by the findings of IEP one might deduce that five countries are in Heaven. These five are Iceland, Denmark, Austria, New Zealand, and Switzerland. This conclusion is based on research by the Institute for economics and Peace, a Sydney based global non-profit institute. The same institute has also listed the five worst countries i.e. those that are most hell like – Syria, Iraq, Afghanistan, South Sudan and Central African Republic. There is another part of the world - Gaza - where the situation is perhaps even more tragic than the worst of countries mentioned here but it does not figure in these lists because it does not have full recognition as a country and this discussion is based on classification as countries. However, whenever such findings are presented there is debate on the methodologies, bias and possibility of vested interests. Even non-profit organizations have to raise funds. Therefore this note will test and revise these findings somewhat based on independent considerations that do not require funding through a simple test as follows.
Infant Mortality Rates
The infant mortality rate of a country is a quick and sure way to assess the quality of life in a country. It is the cumulative effect of a lot of different things that make life what it is. A graph of the infant mortality rate of Austria is included below since this is one of the quick measures of quality of life in any country of the world. It shows the silent change that has been taking place in this country over the last past five decades.
However referring to infant mortality rates of other countries we find that Japan and Sweden has even lower infant mortality rates (less than three deaths per thousand) but Japan has had severe disasters in recent years. However based on this data this author would tend to replace Switzerland in the list of five with Sweden. There is another reason for not including Switzerland here and that is what aappears to be its extremely dark banking and commercial side.
On the other hand, Niger and Somalia have huge infant mortality rates, some of the highest in the world (more than 100 deaths per thousand) and one may add these countries to the list of hell like countries and could easily replace Afghanistan from the previous list by Somalia. Afghanistan also does not figure in the top ten list here of displaced persons and therefore definitely does not belong to the top ten hell destinations on earth but when Somalia is added instead then all our five chosen destination for a delightful holiday fit in :)
It may be mentioned that there are a whole lot of other countries with conditions close to the best or worst as mentioned here, that would fall within the top or bottom 10 (44 countries) or 20 percent (88 countries) but they have not been mentioned here simply because of the brevity of this note. The focus of the present note has been on the top and bottom five countries of the world (a total of less than 5%). America and India do not fall in top or bottom twenty percent either and are therefore safely away from the distinction of heaven or hell. America is one of the richest and most powerful countries on earth but it seems that just as the richest and most powerful individuals are not the most peaceful and happy ones on earth similar is the fate of nations. Since most readers to this blog are from USA and India it may be mentioned that USA is approximately fiftieth from the top with an infant mortality rate of approximately 6 per thousand and India fiftieth from the bottom with an infant mortality rate of around 46 per thousand, in a list of 220 countries based on 2012 data.
The single most heavenly country on Earth:
If this blogger had to choose a single best location of the planet from even these five, it would be Austria because of the Alpine climate and landscapes, the second most beautiful in the world after Himalayas (The third would go to the Northern Andes). New Zealand would have been good too but then Austria has history, is better connected, has been more stable economically and has not had the tragic earthquake that shook Kiwi land recently. The worst on the other hand would be presently Syria without any doubt.
Individual Variations
While we have described the average conditions in some of the nations of the world so far, the conditions of individuals within nations varies so that even in the best of nations there are some persons in misery and even in the worst of nations on earth such as Somalia or Syria a few have managed to find relative peace.
Thus even in Austria there are some in prisons and some homeless persons. Certainly there is a difference though. In Austria if a person is homeless he does not have to live in a card box. At the root of Austrian excellence is love and compassion for its needy citizens and they provide reasonably comfortable shelters so that a homeless person does not have to live under the bridge in a card board box or on the street with a bag or shopping cart. As regards prisons they are so comfortable and loving that although gruesome crime is rare in Austria, petty theft just to get to into one is not uncommon for a free five star holiday. The picture above is one of the Austrian prison in Styria. Nevertheless, some are distressed at their prison sentence or a stay in shelters as compared to others. There are also cases of domestic or public conflict at times that can make life far from peaceful. There was news of a conflict in a nude area where some persons entered without taking their clothes off and were unwilling to display their own stuff while enjoying the sight of breasts and dicks of others.
Similarly within the most difficult of countries there are enclaves and regions of heavenly peace and beauty. The most turbulent country of Europe presently -Greece- has heavenly islands like Ikaria where the humans are some of the longest lived and happiest on Earth, and a country with widespread poverty like India has towns and villages of heavenly goodness and beauty located at various places in the Himalayas from where emanates the voice of solace and reason from time to time for all of humanity when they are in difficulty..
Similarly even in Syria some have refused to participate in violent conflict and succeeded in getting into peaceful corners with relative peace. It is not that they all support their present government but they do not support the use of violence and perhaps would have participated in a peaceful protest of the type Gandhi advocated, if there was one, for at their individual levels they realize that violence in the pursuit of self interest leads to hell and only when it is used in self defense it has any justification.
An individual may not change the world, unless that individual acts as an instrument of the Almighty, for major changes takes place by the will of the universe but an individual may change his own self and then the Universe works to create surroundings of peace for such a person. It is by inculcating the principles of love, truth and simplicity that one finds such peace not by acquiring wealth and power for that often leads one to distress too. When a majority in a nation do this the nation as a whole becomes like paradise but in the meantime individuals may find that paradise of their own if they so decide.
It was said that Major changes take place by the will of the universe. A time may come when a city is so broken down that the Divine Architect feels that the only way to restore it is to pull it down first and build a new one. Such a thing has happened before and may happen again on a planet wide scale if the conditions so demand. At the present time humans are passing through a very unusual period in their history with a huge near unsustainable populations of seven billions, rising wealth inequalities, millions of refugees, the imprisoning, maiming and bombing of the sweetest amongst them – children. Therefore, it is possible that in the eyes of the Universe a major overhaul is on the cards very soon. This author believes it is and more about that shall be found in this other note:
http://someitemshave.blogspot.in/2015/03/thirty-unusual-years-of-human.html
See this post for economical design of shelters for homeless and needy that any country can afford,
http://someitemshave.blogspot.in/2013/01/designing-shelters-for-homeless_13.html
The Message
It must be noted that these things change with time and one country that was heaven like at one time may become hell like at another. An important factor that influences conditions in any country are the laws, rules and regulations as well as the systems created based on these laws for running the affairs of the country. No doubt, the character and nature of the population has an even greater impact but that is something that cannot change in a hurry but laws can change overnight. In designing laws other countries that are not so well off presently would do well to look at the practices of these five countries and then adapt them to their own countries with some modifications to suit local conditions and culture. That would be better than designing an independent faulty law, suffering from it and then changing it with another that might cause even more suffering.
On the other hand, is there a message for the best of countries too? For sure there is, they should look at the hellish countries and note how corruption, disorder and violence has ruined them. There was a time when some of them led human civilization while it was barbarians in skins in winter and in the buff in summer strutting their stuff around the Austrian Alps :). Therefore they must continue to work on enhancing values of love, truth and simplicity if they are to, not just maintain their heavenly status but enhance it even further. Incidentally there is still much nudity in Austria (see) as is there in my novel - Nude besides the lake - Nudity has been the mark of both barbarians or paradise as in Athens or the mythical Eden.
As regards the worst off five countries, they need not look at the laws of other countries. Unfortunately, they are too far lost into hell now, in many cases not due to a fault of the majority of people of these countries, at least not from their present lives, but perhaps a few other men or few nations that might have pushed them into this state. The only thing that can bring peace to the people of these countries quickly and effectively is not a national law but a new international law called PHICS that has been described elsewhere and is in the public domain here,
When the situation becomes like hell in a country the people who suffer most are the most vulnerable beginning with children, aged and women. People are driven out of their homes and become refugees with very sad conditions, they are the homeless on the streets of the world and when such numbers become huge it becomes incumbent upon the world to do something to help fix the situation in their countries and help restore order. That is what the law termed as PHICS in the previous link is about. It provides a practical and workable low cost plan to restore order and peace in the life of fellow humans in distress, many sweet children, just as sweet as our own, and many aged in as much need of help as our own aged loving mothers and fathers.
But a time comes when humans as whole fail to solve their problems but rather seem to add to them (The TPP and TTIP may be just passing examples of that) , then it is time for the Lord to intervene and he may pull down a city in shambles first before erecting a new one. Those shall be the last days of the present phase of human civilization, an apocalypse. It shall appear first in the subconscious fears of mankind, but they shall assign every other reason to it from the coral reefs to climate change rather than face the truth, and mankind shall be brought to what has been described here:

From Birds to Telepathy
Sparrow by Laitche T he house that I live in presently was built in stages beginning in 1991 during vacations and sabbaticals in my career. By 1995, the ground floor of the house was more or less complete except for some finishing that continued later. In the center of the roof of the living room was a hole meant for a center light. To hide the protruding wires a small round plastic sheet covered it with another circular hole in the center of it for the light. A similar one existed in the front porch of the house. I lived in the house through most of 1995 with frequent visits of three or four days to Delhi. At this time a pair of house sparrows occupied the porch roof cavity and made it their home. There were no complaints about that since it was not intended to fix a light there in a hurry. Sparrows are cute little birds anyway and I often leave seeds out for them in the garden. Sometime later the female of the pair moved into the living room cavity and began
Inflation: Stealing from the Poor for the Rich
Robin Hood and his Merry Men I n today’s complex economy it is useful for the ordinary citizen to understand a few simple principles about economics. That way, they can manage their own money better and also contribute their voice to policy making in their countries. This post is about inflation, its causes and ramifications and how it can be managed in any country. Money is a used for acquiring goods and services and when the price of goods and services rise we say that inflation is taking place. The price of something depends on many factors but two of the primary ones are 1. Demand and supply balance 2. Extent of Money Supply. Both factors are easy to understand. If a commodity becomes in short supply then its price tends to rise. If apple crops have been destroyed by untimely frost then apple prices will rise. If the demand for a product increases then too its price rises but if demand falls prices fall or crash. The balance of demand and supply is one of the f

However, it is not just whiskey everything we drink, even the quality of water, or anything we eat has some subtle or significant influence on our behavior. Consumed over a period, not just the weekend binge, the type of food we consume literally shapes our personality prompting ancient thinkers like Hippocrates to remark, “You are what you eat”.

Feel The Bern: Bernie Sanders
"Billionaires can't have it all" Bernie Sanders
Bernie Sanders, the Mythical 666 and the Sparrow
The world watches the Election process in USA with much interest. After all, as the largest economic and military power on the planet in recent times, what happens in USA effects the lives of all, as the world discovered during the financial crisis of 2008; the fact that a banker in US decides it is easier to loot a bank with a bonus rather than a gun while a politician that could control him pats him on the back in return for financial favors; or as the crisis distressed millions of Libya, Yemen, Gaza, Syria, Iraq and Afghanistan are finding out to their dismay as they flee from their homes and cities that lie on the central axis of the world; even toddlers, infants, the aged and the maimed. Destruction often begins in the core before it spreads to the periphery.
Of all the candidates in the race, this blogger became an ardent fan of Bernie Sanders much before most others did (see here). His message of love, truth and freedom from greed was just the right one. His refusal of contributions from big money powers inspired hope. In his words were directions to eternal paths that lead to peace and happiness for humans. But finally after having supported him for months, most sadly, this author is concerned. The reason is a very simple one,
It is impossible to bake a cake out of shit
If forced to give up hope in Bernie it would not imply a support for another. Those who stand by love and truth can never support another who has been into accumulation of wealth especially if it is through less than honorable means but they can walk over the hill into the forest leaving the Supreme consciousness that pervades over all to deal with matters.
Bernie Sanders is trying to take on a system that seems to have become much too rigged, full of huge greed and too corrupt to be fixed perhaps. Just look at how shameless main stream media controlled by the billionaires has become about it all. He also suffers from a genuine weakness that is huge. He is largely an outsider to the Democratic Party having been an independent most of his political life and even if there was no rigging or dishonest practice used, this by itself would be somewhat of a handicap. He cannot quite strongly complain of preexisting rules within that party such as the one on Super-delegates nor count very much on their support. I have sadly come to think that some of his opponents may be right when they say:-
Bernie is a good man but he is being much too idealistic. The world has become much too full of foul greed, lies and violence, beyond the capability of human hands to fix it. Humans unleashed greed and violence to serve their self interests but now it has taken a life of its own and rules over them.
The technology to bake a nice cake that all can enjoy at a party out of shit just does not exist, at least not without divine help, if one may use a crude metaphor just to make things simple. The billionaires in control and their minions should perhaps be allowed to make more millions and extract whatever joy they can to escape their utterly miserable and shameful lives, even if they have to suck 99.9% of the world into poverty or destruction for it (from sale of weapons), who knows, if they are in a good mood, they may even throw some scraps for the 99% as they throw for their dogs or let some trickle down from incontinence, before the world perchance heads for an apocalypse, as it might if the Universal Consciousness that rules over all decides on that as the only option left to fix the car that is far too broken down to take to the mechanic anymore. It must be scrapped before a new one can can be made again from scratch, even as the saints warned of the coming last days or is described more fully in an earlier post here:
http://someitemshave.blogspot.in/2015/03/thirty-unusual-years-of-human.html
This blogger is not a prophet although he might have made a prophecy or two when charged with higher wisdom. He cannot say exactly how things will pan out. Many things can happen that will take Bernie Sanders to the White House or the world may have a change of heart with less than an apocalyptic event and reverse its present march of ever growing greed to the bottomless pit. In the end it is He who shall decide how His world and individual lives within it may be permitted to become. In the meantime perhaps the family of the one who controls the world driven by wealth has now expanded to near 666 in number and soon that target shall be reached. he is a man after all and it takes some years for this to happen.
Note: The idea of the cake in this note came from a work of fiction that described a maid who, because she was mad at her extremely greedy and constantly lying mistress, scooped up a bit from the toilet and baked it in the middle of a nice iced cake with whipped cream and cherries on top for the afternoon tea. Seems the Mistress just loved it, complimenting the maid for her unusual new blend of exotic flavors,
"Just love those soft centers, what is it dear?" asked Madam
"It is fresh produce for our own home Ma'am," replied the maid, while muttering under her breath, "Fresh from my a--."
LOL, Dear readers perhaps we too are being served that by those who rule over us in part because of our own choosing. Why else would millions of children have to go to bed on a hungry stomach despite immense wealth that Mother Earth has produced for all life; why else should tens of millions of humans even infants be driven out of their homes even unaccompanied across dangerous journeys of thousands of miles in search of a safe haven and yet be imprisoned when they arrive there rather then be picked up to hug, to wipe their tears and to quieten their screams of terror, as humans are supposed to do with sweet little children fleeing distress, in the best of countries on our planet - Australia, America and Europe; and why else would the planet face climatic crisis despite technology and science that is powerful enough to rip the world apart many times over.
Perhaps the Lord shall send a message of hope yet, a message that says all is not lost yet, in the shape of an angel of peace - a little bird, the sparrow

Thirty Unusual Years of Human Civilization and the Apocalypse
In many ways, the last thirty years have been some of the most unusual ones in human history. Three major changes have taken place in this period, one positive and two negative.
On the positive side, human civilization has seen an unprecedented rise of communications from mobile devices to the internet. Neither good nor evil can be hidden any longer as it could be in the past and communication between humans and most countries now proceeds at the rate of thought. This does not mean that evil is being eradicated yet. It is merely being exposed. Rather it seems, evil is also making use of these tools while it becomes more and more shameless.
The other two changes in human civilization are on the negative side. The first of these is an unprecedented rise in human populations to what some fear is fast heading towards unsustainable levels. The other is rise of greed and practices emerging from it leading to an unprecedented rise in economic inequalities (see) so that the wealth of the world is being controlled by fewer and fewer individuals. Increasing number of humans are ending up on homeless streets, refugee camps or urban slums. Many more are being forced into scaled up beehives and anthill like homes advertised as attractive high rise apartments by the builder. The roads that a large proportion of humans have to traverse just get on with their daily lives are getting more crowded than ant tracks and while the ant tracks are cut in green surroundings, these are through more buildings. One cannot blame unfortunate humans for being so stressed with the experience that they begin shouting or pounding at each other at the least provocation on such rage filled roads, when just fifty years ago they would smile and raise their hands in a kindly gesture at a similar incident.
Not just the food and water of many humans is now polluted but even the very air they breathe hurts the eyes and throat while it digs a grave in their hearts. Many wars and guns may be traced to greed of arms industry as can environmental degradation to greed of corporations and those who manage them. Developing countries where legal systems are not strong are seeing a huge rise in corruption while in developed countries the corporate lobby manages to cast the law in their favor, for example an uncontrolled rise in banker bonuses and corporate compensations or the ever greening of essential medicines through convenient patent laws bringing in obscene profits for some of the drug industry., while the unfortunate person who consumes these is at times pushed into the poorhouse. A CEO of a Swiss drug company, Novarotis, was planning on a 78 million dollar when leaving the firm as his severance package, a share of the booty fair in the eyes of the company.
To top these unusual factors in the history of humans on the planet there is one more - nuclear devices- the capacity to blow up the world many times over in human hands that are moved more by greed, anger and pride rather than love, truth and simplicity.
While these sad developments are taking place around the world, it is not that simple solutions are not available. Many have been suggested in this blog for some of the biggest problems facing mankind. The solutions are almost as simple as telling a naked couple about to fornicate that they can avoid trouble simply by putting their clothes on again. But does anyone want to hear? Beyond a point lust is near impossible to control for many. One may as well shout at a wall. One can pelt a fornicating dog in heat with stones but he will just not let go. However while the Lord has put automatic safety valves to lust there seem to be none to greed and greedy minds are just as blind to reason as lustful ones are.
Yesterday while discussing the sad tale of two cities of South Asia – Lahore and Delhi in a companion blog (see), this author looked of the causes and expressed hopes that they could be reversed by dealing with these causes. While a friend commented that with flow of information taking place in the world negative trends would soon be arrested another friend and fellow blogger responded in the comments that there is no way that greed would lessen in the near future and that change would come only after an apocalypse when only a few humans, the chosen ones, would remain to carry forth the flag, something that spiritual masters have also said from time to time.
Beyond a certain point when evil increases beyond sustainable levels, an apocalypse seems to be the only mechanism left in the hands of the Universal Intelligence to rectify the situation, for while humans try, it is eventually the Universe that takes appropriate action for major changes. An earlier post in this blog (see) had indicated that the unprecedented rise of human population is also a sign that such a time is near and then went on to predict the likely period as somewhere between 2030 and 2050.However the war in Syria and the responses that it fetching seem to indicate that such a time may come much sooner even.
The clock has begun to tick. When will it be?
A Rational Interpretation of Scriptures and the last days
As a person from a scientific background with interests in mysticism, whenever this blogger read the works of ancient mystics, the tendency was to first respect the wisdom of ancient mystics, now claimed by various religions of the world and look for a rational meaning in their words, often expressed metaphorically, while rejecting the interpretations and explanations of those in the interim.. That has been the philosophy of this blog from the start.
It has been my experience that many give such words a fantastic interpretation to begin with and then deride and mock them. For example, when one reads a statement – It was a time when giants walked the earth – some assume the giants were fifty feet tall and then relegate the story to a fairy tale collection. However, if it is taken as seven or eight feet tall humans then such races have existed as well as dwarfs as the human species has evolved on the planet.
Consider God, a friend thought he was a shiny guy in white robes with a long white beard and then said that God does not exist. On the other hand reading meaning into the words that god is everywhere; this blogger has understood God to imply the entire formless and infinite universe and everything else besides. This everything else includes things we know little about yet such as dark matter and non physical things that can give rise to a consciousness and free will to life, or in other words a soul that is beyond the mere physical body.
While reading the statement – In the beginning darkness was separated from light - a fellow blogger mocked at it but I have found in that a profound meaning of photons separating from anti photons at the beginning of creation. While reading the statement that God created life, this blog did not assume that it was in a pottery studio but rather an unfolding of life in the universe as described in a companion blog - http://alienaccount.blogspot.com – all created by the Universe or God and the fundamental laws that hold it together such as gravity. The creation of Eve from Adam makes perfect genetic sense it is the male who contains both the X and Y chromosomes unlike females that have only the Y this separation of males from females takes place not just at the human level but rather at the micro-biological level too because sexual reproduction appears in order to maintain genetic integrity in a species as explained in the referred blog..
My friend further mocked at a mention of hell and heaven because he was thinking of hell as full of horned imps grilling people on a bonfire. I on the other hand see hell and heaven all around me if I turn my gaze towards Gaza, Syria or in contrast Ikaria, a Greek island; and yes, there is more because as per the other blog mentioned earlier, the universe is teeming with life bearing planets, some hell like and others like heaven, True that laws of physics make it impossible for physical bodies to travel to such other planets but there is nothing stopping thought, soul and consciousness from doing so.
This brings us to resurrection and the last days and the original theme of this article. For me a resurrection is a time when most all human souls from the past shall reincarnate over a short period of a life time, souls that have been in limbo, perhaps for thousands of years if we look at our own clocks but even moments if one looked at those of Einstein. It would be a terrible time of crowding, this time of resurrection, the earth would team with billions of humans. That time has come. It is upon us now with a seven billion strong human population on earth having erupted suddenly for the first time on the planet; their lord is rearing his head in Armageddon and surrounding countries of Syria, Gaza, Iraq, Sudan and Somalia; when it seems necessary to some to pick up and incarcerate some others without trial, when civilized nations recommend torture through rectal rupture and feeding, when some humans are publicly displayed while their heads are severed of their torsos, when humans proudly invent machines that can destroy entire nations at the press of a button while merry making takes place in Swiss and other banks with their frolicking bonus grabbing executives and in a bunga bunga party near Rome; when maimed and tortured children bombed out of their homes by the thousands are not permitted to flee by land or by sea, when thousands of terrified children even infants fleeing horror and violence driven by greed for more illegal drug profits elsewhere are picked and locked up instead of being hugged as the sweetest of all creation on Earth, when it becomes inappropriate or even illegal to arrange medical care for the poor and suffering or provide food to the hungry and homeless,
But then somethings are better said in metaphors than rational speech for the one who has eyes cannot see and the one who has ears cannot hear but one with none shall both see and hear, one who has withdrawn his senses as a tortoise draws in his limbs, when the armies from different parts of the world begin to gather in Armageddon, then the time may have come when a phase of human civilization has brought itself to the edge of an abyss. And, that shall bring us to the last days and the final judgment and one may return to the first section of this blog post for that. For sure a few humans would survive and goodness, satyuga of Sanskrit speaking mystics, prevail before greed, violence and evil slowly but surely surfaces once again on the planet, perhaps in a thousand years. It is then the angels shall gather around a crystal mountain and sing - holy, holy, holy. The Lord shall perchance bind the devil for a thousand years only for the cycle to repeat once more. There shall be a season for evil to rule and a season for truth to prevail, In the days of truth, remnants of evil shall hide in forests and caves and be led by the forest demons, in the days when evil prevails remnants of truth shall take similarly to isolated corners of the planets, forests and remote mountain abodes or
locked up in an embassy in London a capital much loved by Mammon, and shall be led by mystics nourished by nothing more than love, truth and simplicity - the powers of Infinity. There shall be a season to cry and a season to laugh, for what is to come has been so before and there shall be nothing new under the sun.

From Birds to Telepathy
Sparrow by Laitche T he house that I live in presently was built in stages beginning in 1991 during vacations and sabbaticals in my career. By 1995, the ground floor of the house was more or less complete except for some finishing that continued later. In the center of the roof of the living room was a hole meant for a center light. To hide the protruding wires a small round plastic sheet covered it with another circular hole in the center of it for the light. A similar one existed in the front porch of the house. I lived in the house through most of 1995 with frequent visits of three or four days to Delhi. At this time a pair of house sparrows occupied the porch roof cavity and made it their home. There were no complaints about that since it was not intended to fix a light there in a hurry. Sparrows are cute little birds anyway and I often leave seeds out for them in the garden. Sometime later the female of the pair moved into the living room cavity and began
Inflation: Stealing from the Poor for the Rich
Robin Hood and his Merry Men I n today’s complex economy it is useful for the ordinary citizen to understand a few simple principles about economics. That way, they can manage their own money better and also contribute their voice to policy making in their countries. This post is about inflation, its causes and ramifications and how it can be managed in any country. Money is a used for acquiring goods and services and when the price of goods and services rise we say that inflation is taking place. The price of something depends on many factors but two of the primary ones are 1. Demand and supply balance 2. Extent of Money Supply. Both factors are easy to understand. If a commodity becomes in short supply then its price tends to rise. If apple crops have been destroyed by untimely frost then apple prices will rise. If the demand for a product increases then too its price rises but if demand falls prices fall or crash. The balance of demand and supply is one of the f

Last Days and Moments with Mother
In life one shall come across humans who habitually create stress, conflict and hate while there are others who are peacemakers and spread love and peace. I have intimate experience of both kinds. My father who retired as a Colonel from the Indian Army was of the first type while mother was of the second type. She was indeed a godly soul if ever there is one among humans. Much of her life was spent in smoothing out obstacles and conflicts father would create for himself and others in the family, until she breathed her last on April 25th 1999. They came to love each other nevertheless perhaps because life creates attraction of opposites. Moreover, she had confided in me that when she fully realized that at a young age, she had infant children on her hands and there was no question but to stick by him for the sake of children. The marriage had been an arranged one and I have described elsewhere how it came about through a lie. A relative had lied to my grandfather that my mother liked my father and she was rushed into it. Her own mother had passed away when she was still barely a month old and her father passed away when she was 23. Further, our father did exert to become a better human, husband and father but there are things we are born with and not all can overcome them within one lifetime.
Her official name after marriage was Nand Rani Malhotra (nee Sahni) but through life she was known as just Nando. She descended from one of the finest families of Northwestern India with relatives who occupied the highest of position in governance in the land. The present Comptroller and Auditor General of India is the husband of one of her nieces whose wedding she oversaw herself while the niece herself has served as one of the senior most officers in the Indian Government.
There was divine touch in her hands and works. In the sixties she took leave from all of us to build a home for the family in Delhi. She said it was necessary so that the family may not by chance end up on the street someday. Our earlier family homes had been left behind when they migrated to divided India in 1947. Soon after that the family moved to Nainital, one of the loveliest of towns in India with good schools for kids and later elsewhere as we grew up but in rented or official homes. We could not live in the home mother finally built in Delhi except for a few odd days because father had to live in official housing provided by his job but she rented it out to pay back the loan raised to construct it. The person who used it then went on to become the President of India (Shri V V Giri). He was saddened to leave this small home to occupy the vast Rashtrapati Bhavan, the Presidential Estate in India, constructed by the British Empire for the British Viceroy while they ruled. He said it was a home made with blessed hands and it was because of that he rose step by step to become a President. Seems the then Prime Minister India Gandhi had to visit him in our home in C-243, Defence colony then to urge him to move on to the estate quickly now that he was the President. The newspapers of the time described it as a yellow house. My father and mother too went to visit and congratulate him then because my father's official residence at that time was only a few hundred yards away, He stood up to receive them at the gate and bowed to her. His daughter with whom he stayed gifted my mother with a sari of rich South Indian silk in pastel green with a maroon border and gold thread. Other leading personalities have done similar. A political leader, who became Prime Minister Chandra Shekhar gestured to touch her feet when a common friend, Mrs. Tarakeshwari Sinha, introduced her first to him as her older sister at a wedding ceremony in New Delhi. It was because of the aura that surrounded her that some could see through despite her utter simplicity.
Of all my brothers and sisters my mother was closest to me although she cared for and loved all. Often children do not realize that because each child is different the love parents express for them has to be in different ways. She confided in me most confidential matters of the family and from her life. This closeness was a source of sibling rivalry and my brothers and sister could not understand what was different about me for her to be closest to me. In later years, there was some justification for it too because they felt they were doing more to serve her in her old age than me. The reasons for this last were circumstances that were beyond my control. Part of my professional career had taken me to distant lands and in part because of conflicts with father, assisting her had not always been easy. It had been precisely so between him and elder brother too until he was compelled to leave home and country behind at a very young age, something that my mother perhaps never fully forgave him for, reminding him about that with tearful eyes from time to time while she lived.
In 1990 a severe pain developed in her spinal chord accompanied by paralysis in lower half of the body and she had to undergo surgery. The doctor had warned that surgery was dangerous and not all survive it. I prayed to the Lord to save her. Being of a spiritual bent of mind, I have resorted to prayer in the direst of emergencies in life and my experience has been that the Lord always did listen to me in such situations. She survived the operation but a partial paralysis remained in her legs. The last eight and a half years of her life were spent partially confined to a wheelchair. She nevertheless retained a lot of her cheerfulness and continued to serve the family from her bed, phone and wheelchair rescuing family members from any crisis that developed from time to time with her huge abilities and contacts with some of the leading powers of the land. In this state, she managed to rescue my younger brother from a serious crisis that developed in his career in the Indian army and he went on to become a General later. She had done similarly with my father's career too saving it from grave crisis twice, once in the late forties by going to the British for it and the second time in the late sixties for which she had to approach railway clerks first along with her best friend through life from her college days, one Mrs. Bishna Mathur (wife of an army Brigadier) and next by approaching her brother P. N. Sahni who was well connected to corporate houses of North Western India of the time (about her brother Prem Nath Sahni here on Wikipedia).
In 1998, I had joined my Alma Mater at the Indian Institute of Technology as a Visiting Professor in engineering and moved to an accommodation on campus reserved for Visiting Professors. My parents then lived in a different part of the Delhi region. I would visit every weekend reaching her home on Saturday afternoon and leaving on Sunday morning after dinner and a night with them.
One Saturday in April of 1999, father and brother informed that mother had suffered a cardiac problem and been moved to hospital. I immediately rushed there. She was on oxygen in bed but cheerful nevertheless. She then told me some things that a parent might who is about to depart from the world, warning me of some dangers in the family that she had not spoken of earlier for it was not in her nature to speak ill of one family member to another. After a few days she returned home. The following weekend when I was about to return to campus on Sunday morning, she surprisingly said, what is the hurry? Why is it necessary to go so soon? This was most unusual of her. I do not recall her doing any such thing at any time during my adult life, always letting one have the freedom to come and go as one chose just for few days or even a few months or years to distant lands. I have later realized that it was because she knew the time for her to depart had come and she wished to spend a little more time together.
On this last morning with her, she mentioned that my younger brother was complaining to her that I had taken away one of his trousers from the closet reserved for guest and left an old one of mine. All of us left a few dress changes in our parent’s home for convenience during visits. It is things like this that my younger brother or father often resorted to in order to shake my mother’s intense faith in me. Being the very last conversation with her while she lived, I remember this conversation fully and clearly. I told her that was not true and she laughed and said, of course, it is not true and your brother is way shorter, his trousers will never fit you. She was similarly cheerful all through that morning and came up to the door to see me off in her wheel chair, which too was most unusual.
On the evening of 24th of April 1999, I received news that mother had slipped into coma and been moved to hospital called R & R, one of the finest medical facilities in India. On rushing there, I found her in bed unconscious and breathing very rapidly. I caressed her cheek briefly with the palm of my hand for solace before leaving. She seemed to say,
“I have waited until Saturday-Sunday before going because I know you visit on Saturdays and Sundays.” she said while she lay unconscious in bed.
It seems that although most humans do not have much choice in choosing when their life shall end, the spiritual among them do have some choice in the matter especially with the Lord for a few days to complete a cherished task. Long visits were not permitted in her ward. On returning to my lodgings I sat down in prayer. This time I was wiser. I did not pray to the Lord to save my Mother but just do the best by her. A divine blinding light flashed through my mind in answer. Soon after I was informed by phone that my Mother had left for her heavenly abode. The time for her worn out physical body to leave the world had come and it was time to acquire a new fresh one. Just as clothing for the body ages so does it age for the soul. I held her lifeless body on the floor of the van headed for the cremation ground, all dressed in a sari of fine gold that had survived from her wedding days and accompanied by roses I had freshly procured. She loved roses and flowers much while she lived, more than gold and wealth infact. Her soul survives as does the soul of all of us and the soul of those we love remains ever in communication, in this body or others.
While in Canada in 1986 a photographer on Alma and Broadway in Vancouver had snapped a nice picture of me. I sent her a copy and she had immediately put it up on a wall. My Father and younger brother were very jealous. They complained to her that why was my picture on a wall when theirs was not. She said, they have not sent any to her and she would put up theirs too if they did. They complained to me in private too asking me to take it down but I answered it is not I who had put it up; I gave it to her, she had done that. On their own they did not dare to annoy mother and take it down themselves. But within days after she passed away, they took it down and put it away somewhere. I have other copies of it though for my own use. Yesterday, I found a copy on Google photos, a bit worn out with age. It is shared with this post.

In a part of this post, I felt shy when mentioning name of Prime Ministers and Presidents, it sounds so much like name throwing, but it was essential to set her character in proper light. The persons mentioned were not the only ones. An earlier post had mentioned that how in 1947 the Premiere of then undivided Punjab, Khizere Hyat ( spelling?) rushed aid to her at an hour of need. on a phone call to him while Lahore was under curfew. There were many others not mentioned here including some from the British when they were still in India. The truth is that as per need, whoever it was, from a beggar on the street to the highest powers of our world came to her aid. The simple fact is that there are Laws of Attraction in the Universe and the Universe comes to the aid of souls that are in harmony with it, for all their needs. When her end came a former Director General of the Indian Armed Forces (General Harish Puri) rushed to her side to arrange her last bed for the last few days of her life in the finest hospital and bed available in the country, where this body of her breathed her last.
She lived this very simple message in life, that happiness lies not in pursuing one's own desires but in serving others one is thrown with in life, in love, truth and simplicity, in being content with whatever the Universe provides from time to time in His Infinite wisdom and not in our limited one, and remaining cheerful in whatever the circumstances if it is a hut of the poorest or a mansion, in poor health or good, in poverty or prosperity, if it is in fine clothing and gold or in simple garments of the poorest, just exceedingly clean as per her habit, that she chose mostly at home when guests were not around. She washed her own clothes and that of the family with her own hands early every morning before anyone else was up at home, despite having aides for as long as she was on her feet until 1990. May her soul rest in peace and continue to shine the light for others in need of it.
Goodbyes are only for those who love with their eyes.
Because for those who love with heart and soul there is no such thing as separation.
- Rumi

I read your beautiful post and was moved to tears.It's so touching! Such a great soul! Like mother like son:
Mother
She confided in him
the agonies of her heart
which lay covered
behind a cheerful face
she passed through difficult times
marriage often made her sad
he could feel and understand
what she went through
she was always in his thoughts
and when she knew her time was up
she waited for him to be near her
and he was there with her till day before
and the very next day she breathed her last
his own life has been quite hard
the only thread that kept him aboard
that too broke and with it his own heart
no one was there now to understand
the void within and his loneliness
she was a great soul
and cared for everyone
but unfortunately
none cared for her
her simplicity and goodness
some who could see through
became her closest friends
and always stood by her
the bond between him and his mother
it still binds him to her every moment
how he wished he could do more for her
but she was happy that he cared for her
her memory moves him and his heart weeps
his words so touching
through which he pays an humble tribute
and relives those memories time and time again
like mother like son
raised souls they remain close
there is no distance between them
from heaven to earth!
with warm regards
Vinod
