Election Talks

The Election Commission of India announced the general election to the 15th Lok Sabha on March 2, 2009. The elections will be held in 5 phases starting on April 26, 2009 and ending on May 13, 2009. The results of the election will be announced on May 16, 2009. Two phases are over by now.

In democracy the election is opportunity to discuss about the future of the country. The state of economy, the current policies, the achievements and failures of the current government etc. should be part of that discussion. Unfortunately our politicians and main stream media seems not interested.

Major parties published election manifestos as usual. It talk about subsidies, pensions and free stuff. Also some useless claims of secularism, stability and security. But all of them failed to provide a plan for the future of our country in this fast moving interconnected world.

The major discussion points of our politicians are still around secularism. All of them favouring religious and communal elements and accusing the other for the same. Is anybody want to talk about corruption, illiteracy, poverty, accountability, responsibility and infrastructure development? Is anybody want to see a plan for the future? Is anybody want to think about our challenges and using our strengths and capabilities to address them? It is unfortunate that we have many politicians who want to lead but none have the better future of the country in mind.

Is the people of India deserve better? Yes. This is the time to act and ask questions. The power to change the discussions and change the direction of our country are within ourselves. If you are interested only in food for today, your god and your own ego then there won't be any change. Your vote in this election can be an instrument for that change.

    It has been very rightly said in Bhagwad Geeta "Karmanyavadhikaraste Maphaleshu Kadachana" One has to put in his effort to ripe the fruit of labour there all of us will have to act positively and rationally so as to cope up with the rest of the world.

Fatalism

Fatalism is the philosophical doctrine that all events are inevitable and that human beings are powerless to change the future. It suggests that everything that happens is predetermined, and efforts to alter or resist outcomes are ultimately futile. According to fatalism, the future is fixed, and no amount of effort, choice, or action can change what is destined to happen. This contrasts with philosophies that emphasize free will, where individuals are seen as active agents capable of shaping their paths. Fatalism often carries a sense of resignation or acceptance. However, fatalism is not necessarily synonymous with pessimism. Some fatalists find comfort in the idea that life’s events are part of a larger, inevitable plan, which can alleviate the pressure of decision-making or the fear of uncertainty. The term "fatalism" derives from the Latin fatum, meaning "fate" or "destiny," and is closely tied to the idea of an unchangeable course of events. While...

Healthspan

Healthspan refers to the number of years a person lives in good health, free from serious disease, physical limitations, or mental decline. Lifespan refers to the total number of years a person lives, from birth to death. Due to advancements in healthcare, nutrition, and public health, the average human lifespan has increased significantly over the past century. But a longer life doesn’t necessarily mean a better life when a significant portion of those years is spent battling chronic illness, disability, or cognitive decline. Lifespan adds years to your life. Healthspan adds life to your years. Extending lifespan without extending healthspan can result in more years spent in hospitals, on medications, or unable to enjoy daily activities. Think of lifespan as the length of your life. Then, healthspan is the part of that timeline where you’re thriving, not just surviving. Longer lifespans without corresponding improvements in healthspan increase the strain on healthcare systems, car...
