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.

Decision-making is the process of identifying a situation, evaluating options, and selecting a course of action to achieve a desired outcome.

Critical Thinking

Critical thinking is analyzing, evaluating, and synthesizing information objectively to form a reasoned judgment. Critical thinking enables individuals to navigate complexity, avoid manipulation, and make sound decisions. In a fast-paced and information-saturated world, critical thinking has become essential for personal, professional, and societal well-being. Its importance lies in its capacity to empower individuals to make informed decisions, solve problems effectively, combat misinformation, and foster innovation in an increasingly interconnected and dynamic world. One of the most pressing reasons critical thinking is essential today is the volume of information available. The digital age has democratized access to knowledge, with social media platforms, news outlets, and websites bombarding individuals with data daily. However, not all information is reliable or accurate. Misinformation, disinformation, and biased narratives proliferate, often designed to manipulate emotions or ...

Synchronicity

Synchronicity is the occurrence of unrelated events that align meaningfully without a causal connection. These "meaningful coincidences" carry a sense of purpose or a deeper connection to the universe. Synchronicity has found applications in psychology and spirituality. It explores the interplay between the human psyche and the mysteries of existence. Swiss psychiatrist Carl Gustav Jung introduced the concept of synchronicity. Jung described it as a phenomenon where two or more events occur in a way that is not causally linked but holds profound meaning for the observer. For example, thinking of a long-lost friend and then unexpectedly receiving a call from them could be considered a synchronistic event. Jung proposed that synchronicity is distinct from the linear cause-and-effect relationships that govern physical reality. He suggested that these events are linked by meaning, facilitated by the collective unconscious that shapes human experience. Synchronicity challenges ...

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...
