Father of 1000 children ?

As mentioned earlier, marriage as an institution has lost its value in this individualistic society and may see its natural death one day.

Alternative sexual habits, sedentary life style, sexual dysfunction, increasing number of single mothers and sexual violence against women are among few reasons to have contributed to growth of donor children.

Usually sperm donors prefer to stay anonymous. However the issue is, if a certain sample is popular, there is a possibility of more women opting for that sperm sample. Will it lead to one person becoming biological father to 1000 children?

Though 1000 is a bit exaggerated, there is a possibility for good number of children having the same biological father in a locality. There comes the problem. If they start romancing without knowing that they are half-siblings, they may end up producing children with medical problems...

Here comes the need for revealing the identity of the donor at the beginning itself, so that half-siblings or even parent-child romance does not happen later. However, the donor should be given legal immunity wrt any future financial assistance, if they opt so.

Is setback really a setback?

What constitutes/define setback or bad happening?

We neither know our past (before birth) nor our future (after death). Birth to death is a process. During this process we arrive here with a zero and leave this place without anything. In that case, is it not being natural (ie remaining zero) advantageous?

Apropos, isn't a loss mean being taken back to original, forcefully by nature? Considering the fact that we leave this world without anything, natural deletion of an unnatural addition looks like a genuine process too !!!

Hence my dear friends, when there is a setback, don’t worry…because it looks more natural and genuine too. However that doesn’t mean you remain a pauper ever, because dynamism drives us.

Smile at small things in life. Don’t worry when there is a setback in life, because it could be a natural process as mentioned above. Be dynamic and be happy always. Life is journey. Face it…

previous post >>> Justify Facism ?!

Justify Fascism ?!

Gujarat riots 2002, is one among the crudest form of State Terrorism. A look at the following picture taken during that riots will speak volumes…

The reason(s), which prompted me to revisit this issue:
1. The guilty is not punished yet

2. A section of people who supports such a fascist government, under development plank.

Regarding point no.1, though am not happy at the pace at which the Gujarat trials are on, atleast am happy that the process is still on. However the reason for mentioning it as point no.1 - justice delayed is justice denied too.

Now the second one: Yes, it’s true that Gujarat is developing fast under Narendra Modi. However should that be used to insulate him and his government against this state sponsored terrorism?

Remember, all these developments have a common base called ‘human beings’. It is to fulfill the likes and dislikes of this base; such developments take place. When that common base is itself a target for destruction (that too by its protector), the development plank loses its meaning. The role that has been entrusted on a government is to protect its citizens, under any circumstance. When that gets diluted, the basic objective is defeated and the government ceases to exist. Such state sponsored terrorism will pave way for more fascist ideologies to spread, which ultimately destroys the basic foundation around which all these developments happen – ie human beings.

Hence dear friends, do support those developments, which help in the advancement of human beings. But please denounce those, which are basically fascist in nature and bane to the society in the long run.

previous post >>> Individuals as Nations

Individuals as Nations

CCCP – this was one acronym, which was discussed with passion during my school days. Probably because Indo-USSR relations was great then, which helped the students of India to know more about Soviet culture and their technological advancements thru subsidized books on technology & culture, sold by Soviet Cultural centers. Then came the Perestroika of Mikhail Gorbachev, Boris Yeltsin and the dissolution of USSR in 1991. I thought then, is this the beginning of fall of nations…

However I had hopes because only the previous year Bonn & Berlin came together. But the subsequent events gave a different picture. The dissolution of countries like Czechoslovakia in 1992 and Yugoslavia (which started in 1991) into many smaller countries, with the final casualty being Kosovo.

Though the formation of EU is a welcome sign, the happenings around the world give a different picture. Tolerance level towards other culture and helping mentality is hitting record lows these days. The recent one being the show of strength by two Indian states Tamilnadu & Karnataka for sharing of ‘Drinking Water’. If this trend continues, tomorrow even smaller ethnic regions (districts) will fight against each other and finally every individual will end up as a separate nation!

This is possible considering the current/future technological developments like IPv6 or its higher versions, which will ensure the platform for every individual to act independently. Also humans in pursuit of newer things may explore the possibility of an individual based networked world as mentioned in my novice sci-fi series.

Whether these developments happen or not, the current trend of disintegration of countries is not a welcome trend, because unity is strength. China & India are developing as bigger economies because the size of the population and its combined output and consumption matters. If disintegration happens, such an economy may loose out on the economics of scale. Let better sense prevail…

Can incentives eliminate corruption?

Corruption in government sector is on the rise. This has a cascading effect, which is not good in the long run.

Number of honest people in the government system is going down day by day. One main reason could be the salary levels (official) for government servants (including politicians). No honest person can survive in this inflationary market, unless he bends his approach. This is one main reason, which prompts honest people to turn to high paying private jobs than government jobs. This has given free hand to filthy politicians and corrupt bureaucrats, to spoil the whole system.

Under this circumstance, can the private sector type variable pay model and incentive model do wonders in minimizing corruption if not totally eliminating it. First we have to identify those roles, which are developmental oriented. Increase their salaries on par with private or even more and introduce incentive scheme and variable pay too. This will attract the best talent to government sector (including politics).

Incentive programs should be structured/devised in a way to induce the govt. servants to give out their best performance. For example, in infrastructure projects a percentage of the project cost should be demarcated for incentive. This incentive can be given to the key contributors in the project (including the minister), if it is completed before time/in time with minimum cost and maximum quality. If there is an over-run, then the demarcated money shall be carried forward. In police dept. such incentives can be given to those under whose jurisdiction the crime rates are the minimum.

Such an incentive based dynamic system will attract the best of the talent and will make them to remain honest too, because they earn/get their essentials (ie monetary benefits) through rightful means.

Bible – needs revision?

Though I don’t accept Bible as a holy scripture, I feel the time has come for its revision atleast…

When we write against incest relationships in discussion forums, they (those who like/support incest relationship) immediately give reference of incest relationships in Bible.

As per them, population increased, because the first family (Adam, Eve and their children) practiced incest. Why should Bible condone such incident and set precedent. There are also other references of incest like Noah family and Lot.

Its true that we don’t have a rosy picture of our sexual past, but the collective wisdom of generations be commended for creating a social order. When we look at the mushrooming of incest & other abnormal sexual groups in the social networking space, it’s alarming. The incest lovers take an easy escape route, pointing out the incidents quoted in the religious books.

Thus, as mentioned earlier, religion and its scriptures look more sinister than divine. As we move forward towards humanism/atheism, we need to discard or revise those, which are impediments, like the Bible.

Forced Change – towards abnormal behaviour !!

This is in continuation to one of my previous post on outside influence (forced) towards abnormal social change. I’ve no issues if these forced changes are for betterment. Unfortunately it is not so. Recently I came across an online poll “who’s the sexiest celebrity mom” in rediff.com:

Such polls give an opportunity to the opportunistic lot to exploit the fickle mind, which is already at its damaging low. I was browsing through few responses and some of them were shocking. There was one reader who wrote a sick comment (fortunately it was reported abuse and blocked) about mother and there were few equally sinister replies for the same. The screen shot of the same is given below:

When the social networking sites are already flooded with incest groups, is it not the responsibility of media to curb its spread than being a catalyst for forced social change (bad). Historical facts (and the behaviour of animal kingdom) may not give a rosy picture of our sexual past, but the collective wisdom of generations be commended for creating a social order. Parent-Child relationship is something, which can’t be taken to cheap levels for gaining publicity. There may be few aberrations, which can be discarded than highlighted.

Such polls, which prompt the human mind to assess a mother on sexual parameters, should not be encouraged. They (celebrity or otherwise) deserve a better treatment.

Listed Brothels in Fortune 500 List ?

This is in continuation to my previous post Live-Sex SBU.

I came across the following information at ‘actionaidindia’ site: “In Punjab among the upper caste Jat Sikh community just 500 girls were found for every 1000 boys in rural areas. In urban Punjab among Brahmins the ratio is a shocking 300”.

This sex ratio is quite shocking. If this trend continues, the dwindling female population would lead to social issues. In search of a partner, men may go overboard. Would that lead to approval of more listed brothels like the first listed brothel – Daily Planet.

My analysis is not only from the point of worsening sex-ratio, but also the increasing ratio of lesbians and female sex abuse (increase in number of cases reported for rape, molestation, online frauds). There are also chances that single women may prefer to have male baby, considering the female child sex abuses. This may further dent the sex ratio and strengthen organised brothels. If that happens more brothels may go public and get listed. Who knows (in future) few of them may also get a chance to get listed in the Fortune 500 List due to robust business/growth.

Considering online frauds, may be we will also come across more such boards (see below) in future !!!

Live-Sex SBU

This is in continuation to my previous post on future businesses & Pregnancy Process Outsourcing.

In that post I had written about the various SBUs based on people’s changing preference to marriage & sexual life. One more addition to the previous listed SBUs would be ‘Live Sex SBU’.

Considering the slow acceptance of same sex marriages, I wrote sometime back, in future people would also start accepting live-sex acts. Posted picture is from a site, which promote one such event as 'College Fuck Fest'. (warning: explicit pics are there in their site).

My apprehension has come true. At this pace, I really don’t know where we will end up? CHANGE – Where are we heading?

Pregnancy Process Outsourcing

I wrote about this a month back in another forum. I wanted to post it simultaneously here, which I could not due to stiff neck problem and an extended break from online activities.

Change - Where are we heading?

I accept, "change is inevitable". But the following news (refer Guardian - How to split up: Vienna hosts world's first divorce fair) gives me an impression that for business sake, people will go to any extent to bring change by force !!!

"Detectives will explain the benefits of spying on your partner while experts in DNA will be present to talk about paternity tests"

"Almost every second marriage fails in Austria, and in Vienna, it is as many as two out of three marriages"

I had doubts about future of marriage and wrote about it few years back. Then my apprehension was from individual perspective. Now after reading the above news, i can confidently suggest VCs and companies to get into this vertical for business sake. They can have separate SBUs like Love SBU, Love-Making SBU, Unwanted Pregnancy SBU, Marriage SBU, Divorce SBU, Single Parent SBU, Re-union SBU, Remarriage SBU, Old Age SBU, et al.

What all new businesses are we going to see in the days to come?

One, which came to my mind was, Pregnancy Process Outsourcing (PPO). PPO will be a profitable business in future. Considering the ageing population in the west and almost nil or negative population growth in few European countries, people may opt for the easy way out to keep the economy running.

Change - Where are we heading?

Languages

Any language, (if not documented) would still be evolving because of the dynamic nature of humans. Humans graduated from sign language to sound-oriented language to the modern documented form of language. During the time of Kings, few wise men understood the opportunity in documenting and developing the languages. They made money by praising the Kings and the influential, using their language skills. It was considered a vocation then.

However fortunately the dynamic human mind never stopped working. It has come of age. Language is now only a medium for him. In this computer age, he has different fields to make money. His priorities keep changing. Explore and simplify are among his important priorities. He ignores anything, which is not keeping pace with him. He loves change and dynamism. Those who are not able to cope-up with this dynamism, lose in the long run. Language is one. Few languages are adamant / averse to change. Either they will be forced to change or will see a natural death. Hinglish (Hindi & English) words getting into dictionaries is a step in this direction.

Remember this is not the age of kings & poets, but of space age. Simplify, simplify and simplify …

Football vs. T20 Cricket

Watch out, FIFA… ICC is gonna dent your profit margin in the days to come.

24th September 2007 was a special day for Cricket enthusiasts in particular and Sports Entertainment in general. It was on this day the inaugural 20-20 (T20) Cricket World Cup Final was played. India vs. Pakistan. Oh what a match. An edge-of-the-seat thriller. After so many twists & turns, India heaved a sigh of relief in the final over. They won the match by 5 runs.

Though the final is over, the real game (commercial) will start from here. Anyone who watched the Australia-India SF and the India-Pakistan final will confidently say that this form of cricket (T20) is here to stay and also gonna dominate the world sports arena.

Though Test Cricket is and will be the purest form of cricket, the format was a turn off from the entertainment angle. Its 5-days format and slow scoring rate did not attract the youth much. Today’s youth prefer more of dynamism and entertainment. Thus when one-day cricket was introduced, there was a kind of momentum building up around Cricket. A game, which was once played only in British colonies, started spreading its wings. Commercial world also started supporting one-day cricket in a big way. Then came the T20 cricket format and the first T20 World Cup. A phenomenon is born. Am sure T20 will be a hit (both commercial & entertainment value) in the days to come. It will develop as the most preferred form of cricket in future.

Now the Football - T20 analysis:
- increased entertainment value (every ball)
- less time (almost equivalent to football)
- more number of matches (ie more number of teams can participate)
- commercial slot between every over (which is not there in football)
- not much of on-field fights and fouls (gentleman game)
- even women feel comfortable watching & playing cricket (more audience for advertisers)

Few of the above points, shows that T20 cricket almost equals football in value terms and in some areas like advertisement, exceeds football. When advertisers get a chance to reach general public often, obviously they will prefer T20 to football. Accordingly more money will flow into T20 format and one fine day T20 will be almost on par with Football in reach and commercial value.

However one advantage that football will always have over T20 is its simple rules and almost nil operational expense (ie playing equipment) for the starters. However that may also get discounted over a period of time, with the flow of advertisement money to every nook and corner to promote T20 cricket in schools and villages. Though football is an easy, less expensive and most popular game; the day is not far when T20 will catch up with it.

Watch out FIFA, ICC shares are on the rise…

previous >> Is this universe an illusion

Is this universe an Illusion?

Theists believe God created humans.

Atheists would ask “who CREATED god?”

Millions of years have passed and there is no concrete info about God or his impending arrival. We neither know why we are born nor what we will be after death. Still for millions of years, many have gone through this unknown process (birth/death) too.

What exactly is this birth and death for? As mentioned in my first blog post here, “(if god created humans) whether there was a REAL NEED to create human beings?”. What really happened to those who are dead in these million years? How many of them are dead? Are they (dead) really not concerned about what is happening on earth even after experiencing it? Or is the ID creator insane and also very much egoistic to listen to the dead messengers? What prevents him from establishing an ideal world? Why is he not interested to visit this world often and correct the deviants? Why is he waiting for long? Why can’t the billions of dead atleast come back once and say what actually is life? Is this universe a playground? Is this world an Illusion? Too many senseless questions… LOL

Got scared. Be Cool, bcos atleast one process is relatively known to us. ie the period between our birth and death. Let us make the most of it. Go and have some beer and enjoy this beautiful world.

Give scientists a chance

For long religion in one form or other has tried to justify the existence of god. However it has failed miserably.

One hot topic, which sent shivers down the spine during school days, was the impending end of world and return of god by the end of century. That never happened. We have since then moved to different levels (like theists, atheists, agnostics, etc). I prefer to call myself an atheist now, because as mentioned in my first post here, I doubt the basic INTENTION. Even if this so called God returns in future, I won’t value him as god, because the intention was not right. For this reason I feel comfortable being identified as an atheist than an agnostic.

Now that for many years we followed religion and still not able to see god in flesh and blood, isn’t it time for us to follow and support the scientific community in its endeavor to find the source of universe? Science in its shorter span was able to give more concrete evidences and possibilities, than religion. As religion has been static in identifying the real source of life, I back the dynamic science to forge further in this endeavor and unravel the mystery surrounding us. (If not me, atleast the future generation shall benefit)

Till then (for me), neither i know the purpose of my birth nor i know what i will be after my death. As long as am alive, let my intentions be pure...

Future

One of my 2005 post (definition – evolution) goes like this:

“The way intersectional ideas evolve and being pursued for implementation, we can imagine a different world tomorrow. A human being may travel from Chennai to Chicago without any artificial travel support. He may run faster than Cheetah to replace a motor vehicle. Have endurance like a Camel to travel long without being exhausted. Fly like an intercontinental Siberian Crane to cross water bodies and mountains. If human is supposed to be a byproduct of a single cell, then in future he will even grow wings and fly. The fusion of genes will be more complex and advanced, that he will use his different abilities/skills in an intelligent way without getting exhausted.”

When I see the kind of advancement happening around in the intersectional space, feel some of my crude fantasies may come true. Bionic instruments, nanotechnology, gene studies, cloning and few more give room for my mind to travel to the bizarre world.

The way technological advancements happen, tomorrow’s human may not rely on FMCG products, food, et al (check my sci-fi 3007 AD). Rather he may use advanced intersectional applications and will be on a self-supporting mode. Earthly delights may not interest him then. His focus will be more on exploring the outer world.

During this process, China and India will play a major role in the economic space.

China with its cheap labour and expertise in the electronics space will churn out the much-needed chips and electronics.

India with its IT expertise, will create solutions for these intersectional applications.



And those economies, which thrive only on agricultural produce, may see their economy shrink (bcos genetically modified human may stay away from food for long). And as usual our religious-businessmen (priests) continue to give hope to the innocent minority that god is few light years away and his shuttle may land on earth anytime.

Life

Life gives us moments like:

Dynamic (running fan)
Static (dead fan)
Closed (window)
Bright (light rays)
Shadow

et al…

However in totality, it is a colourful world as demonstrated in the following pic…

Hence, go out and demonstrate your love for this wonderful world…

Like this boy !!! LOL

Just on the lighter side

Saw this pic when I was browsing the net for pics, to post in the previous post on abnormal sexual behaviour. Though I didn’t use it there, this pic came to mind after I read the following news. I laughed for some time…

(Ancient Greek sodomising a goat, plate XVII from 'De Figuris Veneris' by F.K. Forberg)

This goat loves a tipple, meat!
(courtesy: ET)

If you think goats are vegetarian, you haven’t yet met Mantu – a male goat that eats meat and drinks liquor. The two-and-a-half-year-old goat lives at the Sana Bada Dhaba, a roadside eatery in Bargarh (Orissa). “The animal has been living in the dhaba since its birth and slowly developed the habit of eating NV food”, said dhaba owner Sana Naik. Mantu does not like grass. “The goat eats the cooked meat of other goats that we serve to customers”, he said. The goat also drinks liquor. It obeys commands. “If you ask it to perform a death scene, it will lie on the ground as if dead. You ask it to show a fight scene, it will demonstrate like a warrior”, he said.

The goat amuses customers and they share their food with it. “The goat is the main attraction of the eatery”, said Satya Mohanty, a frequent visitor. “Some goats that live with humans for a long time develop habits like humans”, said Subhendru Sudha Sarangi, a veterinary doctor.

Abnormal Sexual Behaviour

This is in continuation to my post on Sexual Orientation:

Now more and more people & countries have started accepting same sex marriage. We are at a stage where we are ready/forced to accept WHATEVER that achieves critical mass (in pursuit of short-term gains). If this trend continues, we may reach a stage where few may even justify marriage between human & animals and finally a stage where it will be free for all. This is what I have highlighted in one of my post (future of marriage) as Evolution re-visited !!!

Now you may ask, why such a reaction when it may not happen and the possible solutions (to stop this from happening). In this age of 'short-term benefits approach', only when the extreme possible after-effects are highlighted, people tend to take notice of the inherent/impending problem.

As far the solutions:

# Teach students from the school level about the possible negative effects of same sex relationships.
# Conduct psychoanalysis of students every year, identify the deviations and apply appropriate scientific interventions to correct abnormal sexual behaviour
# Include topics in moral classes that stress the importance for straight relationships.

Some of you may feel, same sex relationship is a natural phenomenon, because even animals are seen exhibiting this behaviour. Kindly note, that these are one-off cases. If you take a country, a small percentage of the population will be into criminal activities. If you take example of them and follow their way, then i feel humans should not claim to have the (perceived) sixth sense. It would be better to correct the criminals and take them to the mainstream, than to follow their footsteps.

Still not convinced, then i can't help. May be this world will go thru this process too (though a dubious one for me) and reach a saturation point in same sex relationships. May be when those people are tired of same sex or abnormal sexual relationships and when the human race is at the verge of extinction, the old approach (ie the present one) may get a new lease of life. So is it going to be cyclical process ???

I wish the mystery surrounding this universe, no longer remain a mystery. Scientists say this earth is few million years old. For few religious businessmen, god is preparing his launch vehicle and may land anytime. For me, neither i know the purpose of my birth nor i know what i will be after my death. As long as am alive, let my intentions be pure...

Whistle Blower Act

Feel Media can play this role better than individuals.

My suggestions are:

- Announce prize money/award for media (to expose corruption) - like the current hidden camera style sting operations.

- If the media company is itself involved in corruption (in collusion with the corrupt), then take back the prize for the first offence (or warn them if they have not been awarded till then) and cancel the license if it happens again.

- Media companies shall have a section in their website where Whistle Blower can leave details about corruption. Upon receipt of the details, they can conduct independent enquiry/sting operation and expose that corrupt practice and file the report with either High Court or Supreme Court for examination and award/sanction of prize money.

- Once the details are entered in the web site, a copy of the same should be sent as an acknowledgement to the Whistle Blower’s email address. If the media fails to act on that even after a specified period (say 3 months), the Whistle Blower can forward that acknowledgement to one designated email address, where it gets replicated and forwarded (automated process) to a group of authorities (like Chief Justice of High Court & Governor of the state).

The advantage here is, the Whistle Blower may register the corruption related details with more than one Media Company. Hence there is a chance that the final report could turn out to be a comprehensive one with views from different agencies/angles. If more than one agency files the report, prize money can be proportionately distributed.
