The New York Times reports that :

“Europeans leaders are set to convene an emergency meeting in Paris today to discuss the war in Ukraine and European security, French officials said yesterday. The aim is to coordinate a response to the Trump administration’s opening of talks with Russia about ending the war with Ukraine, without an apparent role for Europe — or Kyiv — in the process.”

I think this is all a charade.

The Ukraine war has been thrust upon Ukraine and on all of Europe by the US. The deep state prodded Ukraine to go break the promise it made of staying neutral and not joining NATO.

Ukraine is paying for it by losing a generation of able bodied people. Europe is paying for it by being driven into the throes of recession by virtue of soaring energy prices, inflation overall, and reduced demand in the wake of the winds of war.

Don’t even ask about the costs imposed on Africa and rest of world, deprived of the flow of Ukrainian grain.

If the war is brought to a close, every European would be happy that this travesty is over. Only a clown would think otherwise. And there is only one – Zelensky. He seems to be the only happy person in the whole episode. Macho boy. Couldn’t care less about what is happening to his country. As long as his or his family members’ lives are not put to risk.

Stop the war. Now. And let Europe hobble its way to some sense of normalcy. Some modicum of sanity.

Amen.

My comment to the above article :

What is going to happen to Bangladesh?

Exactly that which happens at every place where the US deep state uses its tentacles to engineer a regime change.

Whether Iran, Ukraine, now Syria and Bangladesh.

The country was very fast growing out of poverty. Its textile exports were more than that of neighbouring behemoth India. Its minorities were staying put in the country since Sheikh Hasina was in power.

Now, watch as the country goes into ruin. The Islamists take over. The minorities are coerced into leaving and their properties usurped.

Wherever US ventures, misery, financial ruin and Islamic extremism follows.

Above news snippet is regarding the resolution in UN General Assembly. It is indeed a strange world if the assembly refused to insert mention of Hamas, and even refused to demand that the hostages be released!!

From @theskindoctor13

“Bapu ne hame azadi dilayi. Unke hathiyar the satya aur ahinsa.”

Gandhi had been leading Satya Ahimsa movements in India since 1915. If the British had valued his methods, they would’ve left India much earlier. Oppressors fear armed rebellion. To them, a person who discourages his people from engaging in armed rebellion is a welcome presence, not a threat. Real reasons for freedom were these :

1. British economy damage due to world war.
2. Post-war global decolonization sentiments.
3. Post war mutiny within the Armed forces. Eg. Naval mutiny, 1946.
4. Focal armed uprisings like Bose.
5. Anti colonial movements in Europe.
6. UN charter 1945 emphasizing self governance.
7. Most importantly, endless sacrifices of lakhs of freedom fighters.

Happy #IndependenceDay2023 #जय_हिंद

This seems to be a war being fought by the US ’till the last Ukrainian standing’. What are Ukrainians fighting for? For freedom? Like Tibetans? No. They are not fighting for freedom. They are fighting a war at their President’s bidding for his right to go back on his promise. The promise that Ukraine will stay neutral, will stay out of NATO, and will not be a parking garage for US missiles pointed towards Russia.
If US wishes peace, why doesn’t it reciprocate? Ask Russia to allow US missiles to be stationed in Ukraine and in return, invite Russia to place its pointy toys in Cuba.

Travel.

I have seen this in numerous examples. Keep your shoes on. And you are sure to leave outsized imprints on the sands of time.

As you travel, new experiences unfold. New vistas beckon. New opportunities are unveiled.

I went to the Sisi Museum in Vienna. Queen Sisi was an ordinary lady. But she travelled incessantly as she crisscrossed Europe in her private train carriage while her workaholic husband managed the affairs of the state. Today she is amongst the most iconic figures in the history of the royal family.

Saints and sages who travelled have left behind a strong legacy. Foremost is Bhagwan Adi Shakaracharya. He covered all corners of the country and setup pilgrimage centres at Char Dham. Swami Prabhupada set up the Hare Rama Hare Krishna movement. I saw a movie on Shri Yogananda. He too had his feet on fire as he traversed the globe, elevating all he met.

So travel, like your life depends on it.

For, your contribution during your lifetime depends a lot on how much you have travelled.

Once a person or company builds up a competence, it must leverage that competence to milk the most out of it. It is not easy to develop multiple competencies. Any competence developed, must be used to the maximum extent possible.

Adani Group has managed to build up impressive competence in multiple areas. Managing ports is one such area with a high entry barrier. It is building on its competence by acquiring ports separated by vast geographical distances.

It has charted a similar course regarding managing airports.

राष्ट्रकवि रामधारी सिंह ” दिनकर ” जी की कविता

ये नव वर्ष हमे स्वीकार नहीं
है अपना ये त्यौहार नहीं
है अपनी ये तो रीत नहीं
है अपना ये व्यवहार नहीं
धरा ठिठुरती है सर्दी से
आकाश में कोहरा गहरा है
बाग़ बाज़ारों की सरहद पर
सर्द हवा का पहरा है
सूना है प्रकृति का आँगन
कुछ रंग नहीं , उमंग नहीं
हर कोई है घर में दुबका हुआ
नव वर्ष का ये कोई ढंग नहीं
चंद मास अभी इंतज़ार करो
निज मन में तनिक विचार करो
नये साल नया कुछ हो तो सही
क्यों नक़ल में सारी अक्ल बही
उल्लास मंद है जन -मन का
आयी है अभी बहार नहीं
ये नव वर्ष हमे स्वीकार नहीं
है अपना ये त्यौहार नहीं
ये धुंध कुहासा छंटने दो
रातों का राज्य सिमटने दो
प्रकृति का रूप निखरने दो
फागुन का रंग बिखरने दो
प्रकृति दुल्हन का रूप धार
जब स्नेह – सुधा बरसायेगी
शस्य – श्यामला धरती माता
घर -घर खुशहाली लायेगी
तब चैत्र शुक्ल की प्रथम तिथि
नव वर्ष मनाया जायेगा
आर्यावर्त की पुण्य भूमि पर
जय गान सुनाया जायेगा
युक्ति – प्रमाण से स्वयंसिद्ध
नव वर्ष हमारा हो प्रसिद्ध
आर्यों की कीर्ति सदा -सदा
नव वर्ष चैत्र शुक्ल प्रतिपदा
अनमोल विरासत के धनिकों को
चाहिये कोई उधार नहीं
ये नव वर्ष हमे स्वीकार नहीं
है अपना ये त्यौहार नहीं
है अपनी ये तो रीत नहीं
है अपना ये त्यौहार नहीं
