Waking up at 3AM to succeed

Thought of starting new year with motivational speech. Landed on this youtube one. He recommends, rather yells at me, to wake up at 3am. I can not do it unless I go to bed like 8PM, There has to be some othet way. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gbsubJrBJ2U

Impacted familes

Many people lost their families in covid times. They are still facing the burnt of it. See the post and comments on how much courage and strength is needed to cope up and move ahead. https://www.linkedin.com/posts/ravi-verma-5642267_i-lost-my-wife-and-4-more-family-members-activity-6997471519828242432-1_kI/

British economy

Economy is at an important stage in Britian. Here is what I learnt from this news and what I am fascinated about this news. We see governments offering subsidies for everyone regardless of their income now a days. This appears fair. This will face less resistance from opponents. See how it impacts an economy under the surface. Watch the video https://youtu.be/OqKu8Lxnzro for details. You also learn about bond yield curve and currency carry crisis. What is more fascinating to me is the analytical skill of an indian social media channel about a country under whom they were subjects few decades ago. He understands much more than the people in uk do. That is power of education in free world.

God does not oversee

Their father is on piligrimage to hrushikesh. His family is kidnapped and decimated by evil person in merced city. No generousness is even on small baby. After investigation, the head cop of the city feels there is special place for the person in hell. It is that God does not oversee and help or punish everyone. It is heartbreaking. It is that people have to take care of themselves and their people.

Two rules that rule in politics

After watching news about arvind, kcr and modi, there are two rules to learn. If you want to go to next level, go against top boss of opposition. Or you will be compared and stay at low level. Arvind and kcr want modi's post. If you want to remove threats from low level, not go against them but go against even lower and remove their supporters. That will weaken their base and take time to regain lost baseline. That is why all these press against Kavita and others. Unfortunately no one is ideal. It is all power game.

Remembering supersrar

Here are my memories about Krishnamraju movies. I have watched only a handful of them for some reason. I missed katakatala rudrayya, bhakta kannappa, tandra paparayudu, jeevana tarangalu and many movies people are remembering. I got to know about him was from the song "O jabili vennelakasam". My elementary friend used to hum while we were waiting after school. I recall some adults controlling my excitement and talking in theater during that song. First movie that I fully understood was Dharmatmudu. It is a very long story about a full life of a loner, meeting jayasudha and becoming family man, and old life friction with daughter vijayasanti. I watched more movies like Agni poolu with sad themes and jayasudha crying. I used to dislike such movies. The movie I liked and watched many times is Trisulam. It has social activism, ideals, values, politics, songs, selfless love and multiple characters. I wacthed a few more of his successful movies like krishnaveni, antima teerpu, andaru andare and seetharamulu. Good actor with heavy stories.

Liquor scam news

There is so much noise now a days on politics and scams around liquor. Here is the video that actually provided information instead of noise (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=37XUv5xw9YM). The details are here if you do not have time to watch. New liquor policy started in Delhi from last novermber. Firstly, Government used to run 60% of shops in old policiy, and it is 100% of private sales in new policy. Secondly, it is allowed in open spaces or terraces in restuarants. Thirdly, dry days were reduced from twenty one days to three days. Fourth, shops can sell less than maximum retail price. Fifth, pink booths. Sixth, allowed age is relaxed from 25 to 21 years. There are 32 zones in delhi and they allowed 25 shops in each zone. Number of shops increased a lot. People started expressing concerns. This seemed to be bad policy, however where is the corruption. Administration did more things without getting approval from governor. Lowest bidder was returned security deposit against excise laws. Import fees on foreign liquor was reduced. License fees were waived because of pandemic. Action was not taken on broad publicity in media and social media. The government cancelled new liquor policy immediately after the case was filed and the report was prepared. The assumption is that they are worried of getting exposed and took that action. What is the news about. The new liquor policy was framed in a hotel after discussions between government and liquor businesses. Those are the meetings kavita attended. Here is her direct interview https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y29nTIVflPg video. As it stands, the case will not stand.

Japan's mystery

Japan is always an inspiration. Our youth, instead of seeking more military jobs and burning trains, shall see how Japan benefitted from fewer military personnel. Our leaders, instead of giving freebies and inciting people with emotions, shall enable private industries to innovate and lead the market. See the video https://youtu.be/9SmS3qLe00k This video reminds me a lesson about Japan and my Hindi teacher Ankamma who taught it.

Something else matters

Black lives matter was a movement I witnessed two years ago with a series of protests and debates. I learned a valuable lesson from a colleague's post. Some others replied with police lives matter, Hispanic lives matter, women lives matter etc. They do not go well. When someone is asking justice, one has to address it first before bringing all other injustices. The original protesters feel their purpose is diluted or diverted. Coming to Indian example, when telangana people seeked justice, others seeked for uttarandra or rayalaseema. That made original protesters more angrier. Actress sai pallavi has all rights to express her view. She is also right. She did the mistake of normalization or dilution. Politicians or leaders often do that as a method to skip a direct answer. For a reason, I am an engineer and not a politician. When you are asked whether some thing would break a bridge, you would not say something else would also harm. You think about that as part of future plans and not as immediate answers.

Orissa model

null I was planning to collect data before making assessment for a few weeks. That work is done by tv9 and jayaprakash narayan. Watch it to get better idea in impartial way. As usual, orissa is a model state. Others need to act before india becomes another srilanka. https://www.facebook.com/JPLOKSATTA/videos/583461383083384

Inflation

Getting a pinch from inflation. Stations are updating prices frequently. Some say it is supply chain. Some say it is ukraine driven. Some say it is because of biden pensions. Some say it is wage based builtin inflation. Whatever it may be, we are paying twice of what was five years ago.

State elections

Happy and surprised to see the state election results in India. Happy to see that aap won in second state and becoming major contende and it is proved again a party can win without relying on note giving. Surprised to see that bjp could win in such a huge manner again after the pandemic and bad press about idealogies. People are becoming predictable. Hope and governance beat opponents.

India at cross roads of international diplomacy

India is at crossroads of whether to stick with old friend who himself may not see us as friend or find new friends with similar idealogies on capitalism and democracy. No one is perfect but economy trumps all idealogies. No one is friend or enmery forever in international relations. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_NU_ezeTk_0

Success with greed will fail

story of enterprenuer who grew strength gradually from real estate, hotel, investment and local leader, and fell due to greed and false prestige with fictional investment from high profile friends and contacts. https://www.bloomberg.com/news/features/2022-01-21/san-diego-s-400-million-ponzi-scheme-and-the-star-developer-behind-it
