Jenny will come

How do you feel when someone gets huge money in a lottery? You know the Gnanapazham story. Don't you? Who deserves it? Lord Muruga or Lord Vinayaka? Do you need luck to be wiser?



If you read newspaper regularly you might have noticed this: at least one news in a week about Dayanidhi Maran's activities, not only when he was a Minister of Communications and IT, even now, as a Union minister for Textiles. He got such a great talent and vision on what he is doing! But then, is he not just one of those luckiest persons to be in the parliament? Can't you point a person better than him in India? Probably, they have all taken different business and different strategy or they had no luck to be in politics.

Can you deny luck? It is impossible. Because, you have to start giving reasons. You can say, he has done X and Y so well or you can say, scientifically, that the combination of X chromosome and Y chromosome would make a person behave this much brilliantly. You can immediately notice that this reasoning brings another set of questions that grows exponentially in every direction. Nobody will ever be lucky to find a person who knows it.

You need luck. How will you get it? How can you be lucky? That is a beauty of life - noblest things are never buyable. They just come on your way. Just listen to your heart and coordinate with your mind - that is called passion, and you will get it. Keep playing the music, awards will come. Keep experimenting, 1000th attempt might be a successful one to bring light. Dream of Das Kapital, Engels will come and so Jenny.

The Power Game

 Even if you count from the Homo sapiens time, it has been half a million years and from the caveman life to the one who attempts to control the universe, the progress is tremendous. A number of struggles that we have overcome are unimaginable. I am still not convinced whether all these are part of the Divine plan or the Nature adjusts (if at all something is required) itself to any change that takes place in it. As long as we believe in science, we can truly appreciate our power and the things we have achieved. The oldest of the power struggles can be the one between men and women. It is perhaps so subtle that we can’t even call it a power struggle. While we manage to fight against external things, this is something happening in our own race, and we haven’t had an answer yet. A coffee selling 10 times costlier than the price of it in a decade ago may mean the coffee price has been raised. But when you compare it with the price of everything, it is relatively the same. If you look ...
