Indian Police Force.

Hello readers 

Hope you all are doing great.

Being honest never hurts anyone, being a liar only hurts you!

Today we want to talk about our country's most condemned and most talked department. The police department. 

In this blog we are not only talking about the IPS cadre but also the department as a whole.

Lets put ourselves in this situation.

Imagine a day with all of the police stations being shut, at the same time  there is a crime that takes place. What would we,as common people think at that moment? Definitely we rush to the police station, but it's been shut.This results in a catastrophe.

So you cannot just even imagine one day ,without the police. Have you ever seen a police station being closed on a festival or any other occasion. The answer is a big no. The police, especially who are working at the lower order of the hierarchy of the department toil day and night to see to it that,the citizens  are given the maximum security.

Any problem in the locality. A policeman would be called. They would have literally sacrificed everything to work for the society. Why are they not given the due respect? The pressure under which they work with is just too hard to digest.

No doubt that it's their duty and responsibility to ensure law and order and protect the interests of the people and fight against the anti-social elements. But at least once,think that they are also human beings with  flesh and bone. Just because their prime duty is maintaining law and order and solving civic problems, it doesn't mean that they don't deserve any respect.

Their working environment is always like a hot pan. Always under pressure and tension. They always have to depend on the politicians for everything. Have to abide by the orders from the higher do called authorities ,or heads  If good and deserving officers were given independent powers with minimal control, the scenario would have been definitely different.

As common people it shall be our duty to cooperate with the police for better governance. A tribute should be paid to each and every policeman. 

On the other hand we know that there will be some loopholes and bad elements on all the departments irrespective being an government undertaking or a private undertaking.

We have also heard so many citizens complaining on the bad behaviour of police when they went to lodge a complaint ,the concerns are endless,do we know the reason for their behaviour?we dont ,because we consider them as a force,and shield not as humans ,they have their own pressure ,in this hostile environment and demography of India,and their jobs may not be as motivated as guy who ,gets paid heavily sitting under a cool A.C in a MNC do they have all the like motivational factors like leadership,work-life balance and remuneration in their jobs are they in sync with the current standard of living.

Another essential factor is about the arms and ammunitions provided,especially for the personnel in the lower hierarchy,are they enough to defend themselves and protect the common man?

The questions are endless ,and the answers are actually sad,imagine their personal life,the pressures and nervousness on a police personnel's spouse,parents or children!

So we cannot blame and generalise each time when we see the news ,about criminal activity and ,that the criminals got away ,and say the police are useless.

When we sit in a room with all the curtains closed there will be lot activity outside the curtain,which we wouldn't notice,hence lets open the curtains of our mind and start seeing this world in a matured way and start respecting these protectors of the modern times.

There is an improvement required from both sides lets see to that we will move the dice first and next we should ask the government to do it.

Thanks for your time.

Poor creatures

Hi readers

Hope you guys are doing fine ,today we want to talk about the ugly turn this world taking ,to that road with no mercy.

Do we really know the meaning of what humanity is? Have we ever cared about the stray animals on the streets that wander around.

When a person has met with an accident, we all immediately rush and call an ambulance. If the same thing happens to any dog or any other animal in the street, do we really care?

Is humanity only caring about humans? If yes then what mistake have those poor creatures have made in venturing into this world. It is the creation of God isn't it?

Life is precious for each and every living being in this world and has an equal right live too.

There are numerous hospitals for our problems. But there are only handful of them for animals. An animal which has met with an accident should be rushed to a hospital. Even if we are willing to, where are the necessary resources? Are there enough veterinary hospitals for the animals.

.

It should be our duty and responsibility to even care about the stray animals. A separate place should be given to them. Then there will be chances for Less mishaps.

In India as we all know due to the problem of overpopulation ,we lack proper clinical facilities for humans,so we imagine,what standard would be the facilities for animals,there is a serious need to change this ,and give animals equal importance and that that life as we treat a human life.

We see the irresponsibility shown by the class of people who buy cows for selling its milk and make a living out of it,but leave their animals to wander on roads freely,also eating garbage which is very much unfortunate and also hazards for the cow as well the consumer of that milk.

For all the people who think that man is a superior being and this universe or God who created him alone to survive,you are wrong all creatures born have their own right to live,what differs them from us ,is the intellect ,but still they have their own intellect which is helping them to surviving.

Try and respect each and every living being in this world. It shall be our duty and responsibility to conserve them too.

By the people,For the people, Of the people.

Hello readers

Hope you had a good week, today we to want talk about this all important topic, which can solve many problems we are facing in our day to day life.

In India problems seem to be never ending. Finding out the root cause of the problem it self is a very tough job.

You might be wondering as to why we have started the write up in this fashion.
Yes because, none of us are aware of our basic rights and duties.

Sometimes we all behave naive, the reason is seriously unknown.

This has been proved right in many cases. For example just imagine there was an accident and we witnessed it half the time, we just walk away from the scene and without helping that poor soul.

The above example was our duty, now coming to tube rights part which we are totally unaware of ,starting from the facilities provided by the government to us, till the leaders who are leading the government.

We lead many civic problems, like petty thefts, lack of proper street lights, lack of proper Storm water drain system, why should a project like, the inter-connection of drains take ages, why should it happen every year.

Are these not genuine questions? Of course they are but, once we vote we do not want go back and ask that leader these questions.

We know some of you would say, its rule of the land, and it cannot be changed, but that's a very comprehensive answer we would not agree to.

We have to change the trend and start asking these questions we are supposed to ask. Come on lets, change the trend.

Thanks for your time have a great weekend ahead.

Education systems.

Hello readers

We are back with yet another topic of discussion,actually one of the most discussed topic around the world and still an issue in many countries around the world.

We would like to discuss about education and education systems around the world and in specific comparison of all other education system when compared to India.

The object of education is to prepare the young to educate themselves throughout their lives, says Robert Maynard Hutchins ,an American educator and philosopher.

We have heard many thoughts about education,like this one:education is the one which helps when we have forgotten what we have learnt!

Also,school is not the preparation for life,school is life,and so on.

We do understand that education is a very important step in the life of an individual in these modern times.

If we talk about some education systems followed around the world, places like the United States,Canada ,Germany,London we see one thing in common in all the places that is ,they are very much standardised and also rated the best universities in the world ,and it is recorded that U.S is now has the biggest number of immigrants in the world ,for pursuing their higher studies.

None the less even Canadian schools and the German educational institutions are known for their discipline and creating successful individuals in all the disciplines of education .

Now lets talk about Indian Education System ,it is actually unfortunate that the land where it was known for the best intellects in the world ,and where great ancient scientists like Aryabhatta, Bhaskara, and the great biologist like Charaka, is now facing a problem at the grass root level. 

Each and every child has the right to get a quality education. Especially in our country majority of them are rural based. The rural children will be hungry for education. Their parents must be given awareness at first to encourage their children. 

The problem begins here, where the children's are ready to learn but there are no people to teach or no proper educational setup or infrastructure. The Govt school's in remote parts of India are in a very pathetic condition where there are no basic facilities provided. They don't ask for air conditioned class rooms with sophisticated technology but the need is just the basic facilities. 

Teacher, the most divine position given in the Indian culture. But in today's world it's taking a different shape. To educate the children the teachers must be well versed about the subject. In Govt schools this is a big problem. Where there is no quality in teaching barring a few. And in some cases majority of them are visiting faculties where no proper attention is given to the children. 

Why cant we Standardise education like the other nations,why cant the taxpayers money be spent in education and give free education like the US until 12th standard ,which they call 'Graduation'and later the student be allowed to take up his choice of education his field ,and taste and become a successful individual.?

Our education system needs to improve in many ways for example,why cant there be single syllabus ,to all indians irrespective of their states? as we know that the CBSE or the Central Board of Secondary Education is ,considered as a successful education model here,and we have personally seen our own friends and neighbours do better in life and understand concepts better, than the students who studied in state board.

There is also a need to update the syllabus and the maturity of the books given to students,when we were pursing  our graduation  we have experienced the gap in education ,and the faces the bizarre storm of the latest updation that happened when we hit corporate.

Why should out IITs and IIMs' branded as the best educational institutions in India ,why not the other institutions give the same standard as they give tin these esteemed institutions.?

Education from the age of 10 till the age of 16 shapes an individual and determines what he will become in future!

The another concern is that we should not divide the students with their IQ ,I know most of you wont agree with us ,but i am sure the students will agree ,because just take an example a person wants to become a doctor,and his aptitude in mathematics is low ,but he brilliant in biology,its very unfair if he has to study mathematics to pursue a degree to become a doctor.

The grievances are actually endless ,the simple solution is do a research ,ask good educational scientists and adopt the most successful models in the world  so  that India becomes more matured and the education given to the children here ,should be the best to be more successful.

Aggressive measures have to be taken to improve the conditions of the Govt schools. Corporates must come forward and join hands with the Govt to provide good conditions. We agree that doing is difficult than talking. But if that is case when do the conditions would improve? 

Education is not only about books. It is something which is beyond that. Being a graduate shows that you are only a literate. There is a significant difference between a literate and an educated. Our country needs educates and not meet literates. 

Before ending we would also like the Govt of India to take good and strict steps to condemn the opening of fake and useless institutions who are just money minded.

We would like to hear some suggestions from the readers about how to improve the quality of education in India. And also about giving awareness to the parents in rural areas. They have developed a fear, where if their children are given education they will not practice agriculture. Is this true?

Taboos of the world.

Hello readers

Hope you guys are doing good.When you try to quit something just think why you started, that would be the thought for this evening.

We would like to discuss about this concept called taboos around the world,the reason behind choosing this topic is quite simple,we want to understand ,why were these procedures and ,rituals ,considered as ant-social.

The Voodoo dolls, black magic, witchcraft and sorcery. These may seem to be a interesting and as well as a topic ,where a thoughtful research can be done on. The above mentioned terms are considered as a Taboo, which means some act which is unacceptable by the society or a forbidden act.

In India and even in most parts of the world we find people who are making a living by performing these anti-christ activities,a popular terminology . So what is it all about?

Voodoo is a magical ritual performed by Black slaves in Haiti Island and Dominican Republic. Black's in North East Brazil have also retained their African tribal rituals amidst Christianity, this is variously called as Candomble, Makumba etc.,

This is an African ritual. They have syncretised Catholic Saint with African tribal gods.

A general belief of performing these acts are to be a superior being. It is also performed to make your wishes and dream come true.

Voodoo dolls are also used to cause harm to other person. Some Anthropologist say that this is a ritual and not anti human ,but some say this act is forbidden which scares the common men.

 It is not necessarily meant to harm other person by pining into the dolls. It could be even the other way round. So let's try and learn about this mysterious acts more rather than having a negative       look at it.

What does witchcraft and sorcery and black magic mean? All these terminologies are interlinked in some Western culture. Which is considered to be anti thesis of church. These are performed only for a bad cause. 

This is still being followed by many cultures and is still alive and practitioners are feared.

When a person becomes a witch or a wizard, he or she  will deny the concept of heaven and God. 

They only worship the evil. This is a selfish act done to obtain their means of ends.

The topic that we have chosen is actually an ocean. We have just presented the generic view of about this topic.

People may also wonder why we chose ,a topic which is not so positive ? the reason is too simple, we lead a life which is too short ,why can't we make it a better one for yourself and for others around us why,should we involve in such sadistic deeds, We should also read a lot about how these practises emerged in this world,what was the cause and effects of the same.?

We hope we were successful in bringing up this awareness ,about the taboos,thanks for your time.

The Responsibility.

Hello readers 

Hope you had a great week ,and did not get stuck in traffic jams.

Today we would like to write about general civic sense in India. As it is the most discussed and argued topic, and the topic which is raising concerns all over India and also the world.

At first, what civic sense is all about?
It is nothing but social ethics. It includes how one keeps the roads, behaviour with the fellow individual, abiding laws of the land, maintaining public decorum.

As Indians what we lack is the basic civic sense. That's why we are not able to function as smoothly as some of the foreign countries.

When you walk on the roads of India,  you see a lot of spit marks, urine, etc., people grumble about all these as not maintained properly. But who dirtied it in the first place. The people are the soul responsible for there actions.

India is considered as one of the diverse country in the world. We must learn how to mix with people across various cultures.

So where is glitch? The problem lies in the root. To shape up a near perfect individual one has to be taught about it in the schools. A child in the school at first should be taught about the very basics such as, how to behave with others, not spit on the roads etc., Only preaching would not suffice. Where it counts is how it's been applied.

Also in schools there is strong need to understand the basic use of a automobile is no to loiter around the road for fun and it is for transportation,and conveyance, we know that the the generations which have after the 90's and after the millennium Are way smarter than us the point ,is this smartness is being used in the wrong direction.We would have heard about this phrase saying that don't become hero in the wrong way,actually that is what is happening.

The factor called "Parents"

This is one of the most important factor when it comes to civic manners,road sense and public behaviour,because the simple reason reason ,if we just take this one point ,say how many kids are there on the road who driving,in the age where are learning fractions in school,to be frank this is not an exaggeration ,but a experience we are seeing kids in Bengaluru, where kids as Young as 11 years are driving,high powered,mopeds,and bikes,this very unfortunate and stop.

Though Parents are literates,and take up the difficult task of making their kids,responsible citizens,they are falling prey to the pestering of their wards ,and give them ,vehicles in some case ,the parents voluntarily give vehicles like the famous economic term which holds good in this instance which is called as the "Bandwagon goods"which says people buy thing for prestige and showbiz kind of a thing.So the we can say that even though they are literates they are not educated and do not know the future repercussions on the society.

we are not targeting any parent for that matter,but we find they are also one of the factor for these issues.

Issues about cleanliness discussed above should come from within an individual ,like the patriots who fought for the independence of the nation ,ad only if there is that factor called belongingness ,that I am a  proud Indian and I want to keep my country clean .We hope we start thinking about this.

Well the wave should start ,before its not too late.

All these issues may sound small but has a greater and deeper impact in long run.

Many of think as to why it is so important. It is indeed very important because it gives the basic definition of what we are.

This very basic root cause problem should be repaired at the root itself.

The Cords.

Hello readers

Hope you are having a happy Sunday, after a busy week , so today we wanted to talk about music.

I am sure almost every one of us enjoys music, music of any kind for that matter there are so many genres.

This blog is an informative one, not a awareness blogs that we have written till now. We should understand the meaning of music first; the easiest definition of music is "an art form whose medium is sound"

Before we start there is one point which is worth to be mentioned, which is the topic we have selected for today is an ocean, and you would get better information than this if you googled music!

But we want to focus the best of music, some milestones the first evidence of music were found on clay tablets, by the archaeologists in the remains of the Indus valley civilization, which they called it the 'hurrain song’, which was based on Hindu culture, the first music instrument dates back to the Vedic period .

Then came the Egyptian music, followed by the Asian, Chinese and the African cultures, who were the first to introduce of the Congo drums.

It is evident that till the metal age, the invention of metallic strings, was not used in music, when the metal age was at the peak. People also call the Neolithic period ,it is said that in this period there was lot of advancement the field of art and music ,great artists like Beethoven ,Vivaldi ,Mozart ,Saint Thayaga Raja ,Muthu Swami Dikshithar and many other great people ,have given us the music which is invaluable through the various musical instruments and their golden voice.

 Saint Thyagaraja and Muthu Swami Dhikshitar were legend's of Carnatic classical music composition. The all time favourite Vatapi Ganapatim bhaje a kirtane which was composed by Muthu Swami Dhikshitar,and the pancha rathna keethanas of Sri Thyagaraja is immortal and divine.

Coming to musical instruments, what amazes us is the physics behind their working, and how well the brain of the player  integrates and learns to play so well ,that his expertise  it will reach the level of subconscious which is great. We would just like to brief about a few instruments which are not at their peak. Jalterang which is a very unique instrument which is played on the bowls filled with water. Which dates backs to the 19th century.

Music is one art we have always enjoyed modern artists like, Bob Marley, Elton John, Enigma, Pink Floyd Michael Jackson and numerous band groups have kept us alive and moving on with life whenever we have felt low.

So let’s enjoy music and all the instruments and take this music further and become a part of the group and learn some form of music and enjoy the rhythm of life.

In the recent years we have may internationally famous artists ,we just jump with joy just by hearing their names like the one and only Michael Jackson, A.R  Rahman , John McLaughlin ,Mandolin Srinivas ,Zakir Husain I am sorry these are immediate names ,which are striking my mind now.

 I thank all the artists of the world who have helps feel better when I listen to  

them.

Thank you for bringing that hope back to us through those songs, tunes, musicals and operas.

Thanks for your time,have a great week ahead.

The Carnatic Trinity.
