In defense of Karni Sena

"The darkest places in hell are reserved for those who maintain their neutrality in times of moral crisis." - Dante

Let me be upfront here. The Republic of India has been engulfed by a crisis of monumental proportions. Karni Terrorists Sena has been in news, a certain movie titled Padmaavat has been too. After checking with a reputed journalist, I am confident that the nation really wants to know what happens to the movie. Nikhil has stopped eating and Nikhil's mother has stopped caring. The pertinent issue is the release of a movie, not-marketed by Karni Terrorists Sena.

Everyone has taken a stand, mostly in favor of the release of the movie, which perplexes me because I find the arguments of Karni Terrorists Sena compelling. At this time of crisis, I proudly stand in their corner.

Karni Terrorists Sena's protest is valid because they believe the movie portrays Rajput women in bad light. And I believe in the power of belief. Mahatma Gandhi said and I quote, "If I have the belief that I can do it, I shall surely acquire the capacity to do it even if I may not have it at the beginning." Given the upfront manifestation of the belief of Karni Terrorists Sena in its actions, it would only be a miracle now if the movie isn't edited by the power of belief to show Rajput women in bad light.

Next is the method of protest. They are vandalizing public property and spaces, someone has climbed a tower, and then there is the threat of committing Jauhar. Vandalizing public property is good. It reminds one of the fact that nothing in this world is permanent. We are born out of dust, and just like the property being destroyed, we all will end up in the dust. A lesson as deep as this is worth millions.

About the other forms of protest, it is Social Darwinism at work. Karni Terrorists Sena is allowing the society to move forward without excess baggage.

Karni Terrorists Sena is also upholding the age-old tradition of hiding behind women. Since time immemorial, whenever a child has faced troubles, he has hidden behind his mom's back. With the threat of Jauhar, they are keeping the age-old tradition alive.

They have blocked the traffic in Gurgaon. While overtly this may not look good, a careful analysis tells that this is a way to bridge disparities between the traffic of Gurgaon, and the other hub, Bangalore; the latter being infamous for its traffic woes. It is a surprise that socialists haven't seen this through.

The economy has received a boost and will continue to do so in near future, with increased public spending on security and public infrastructure, more viewership of news channels, and expected sales of the movie.

If this doesn't knock some sense into you, only Jauhar can save you. Personally, I believe the Karni Terrorists Sena is doing right. Do you? You should too.

P.S. At the time of writing, there was no katta/ tamancha or talwar sticking at the neck of the writer. If the writer has made Karni Sena look bad anywhere, drop a mail at HayeMeriIzzat@karnisena.com.

Getting Things Done: A Beginner's Guide

Buddha said the world is full of suffering, and I have scrolled enough social media to realize that is indeed the case. Heck, it feels like doomsday is around the corner. There is just misery all around. Everyone has got something which needs to be done!   There are problems spanning decades and unresolved issues plaguing generations, and this is without counting the Indian men's cricket team's propensity to lose in knockout matches. Therefore, to no one's surprise, the modern world is looking for problem solvers, people who can deconstruct these multi-layered, nuanced points of contention and arrive at an acceptable solution.   With 29 years of experience at being alive, a few months at an MNC and now 2 odd months in government, I have some ideas that should help a newcomer become the go-to man for any crisis. Like any other success guru, these are not at all well-researched and are purely anecdotal in nature.    Let's start with the primary answer to problems - mon...

Paperwork

Some 13 billion years ago, the Big Bang occurred, and the universe started taking its present shape. Brilliant minds of ours and earlier generations have spent a considerable amount of cognitive resources to unravel this mystery. Notwithstanding the appreciable progress made in our understanding, it has been suggested by many a bureaucrat that this wastage of human capacity could have been avoided if someone had neatly prepared an office note on the big bang then. The process of documentation and record-keeping is essential in government, as in any other form of organization that grows beyond the individual. Documenting known facts of any issue, discovering more through inquiry or academic research, and then forming a well-justified conclusion forms the core of any decision that is taken. This entire exercise is colloquially known as the "paperwork". Since the stakeholders aren't just the people making the decisions, it is important that paperwork is done with due diligen...

The Passengers

There are way too many of us humans around. It is only natural that too many of us meet the remaining of us, creating an inter web of connections, and friendships.  Think about it. When you were a kid, you had friends in your neighborhood, class, and maybe cousins you lived nearby. Then you met new people in College, while working at various places and so on. Some of your friends introduced you to their friends and then you knew more. If the sheer number of people you met and made friends with at various stages of your life were to be added, you could have at least won your colony's elections.  But, are you in touch with all of them now? Do you even have any memory with most of them? Or they have just become names, which ring a bell but you don't really know why!  The truth is, we all move on, consciously or unconsciously. The kid who sat next to you in that class, the best friend you played with every evening, or even the neighbor you shared your rooftop with, all fade i...
