[Rath's Rhapsody] Not Iraq - it's just Delhi !

[Guest guest]

No its not war torn Iraq where we could justify holes in the wall. Its Delhi and the venue is a court corridor. Methinks someone came to fix something and because the wiring was quite ancient, the only way they could get it done was to dig a hole on the wall. But they were electrical maintenance and not civil workers, so they didn't have cement to fix the wall. Thats how, in all probability, the hole in the wall is completely justified. Even if it does make the corridor look like a picture of some war torn nation, it does not matter. Thats how the average Indian mind has started to think. We have started to believe that everything that everyone does is fully justified as we are a "developing poverty stricken country".Looking at all the great future predictions given about India in New York - Goldman Sach's Report released in October 2003 predicts that by 2030, the Indian economy will become the third largest in the world after the USA and China and that our GDP will cross the US$ 27 trillion mark by 2050. Another study by the Deauche Bank says that India may become world economy number 3 by as early as 2020. If those words are to come true, and we are determined to make it happen, then there is a need to wake up and get ready. Indian reforms are working in many sectors and we need the government o get out of the nose of the private sector and hire better cleaners. At least that way its image of red tape (which perhaps came from the red spit on the walls - see previous post) will disappear.Look at that image more carefully - at the fan. Its a very selfish fan. Its blades or wings are turned in strange angles. One is at turned down from the middle at 120 deg while the another goes up and the third maintains balance. Its ingenious engineering and it cools everything- the blade thats normal throws the air down and cools people,- the blade turned down throws the air towards the fan and it cools itself and- the blade turned upwards cools the ceiling and the dead spirits of litigators who still take rounds of the court looking for their own interpretation of justice.From the jyotish viewpoint, its an evolved or enlightened fan in a way as it cools all three of the planes - maybe we can call them lokas, but it still selfish as the European fans don't cool themselves.Where does such genius engineering come in the government? Look at the chart of India. The fifth house shows the public and this is Virgo, the perfectionist who is always changing and amending things to make heaven on earth. Now Mars, the dire malefic which also indicates engineers (in its benign aspect) is aspecting Virgo giving the mind for innovation. As it is a malefic lord for Virgo as well as Taurus, the lagna, the innovation that comes to the public mind to experiment with government property ends up creating a mess. Saturn also aspects Virgo, the fifth house of Public showing that the people are very patient and are prepared to suffer anything and everything.This fan is meant to cool people when the temperature reaches 50deg Celsius during the hot and dry summer (sometimes humid though and it can get worse). The Delhi public has no complains against this else it would have been set right by now. Remembering the beautiful breeze that the fan would have given when it was new, and put there by a kind soul who loved India more, just like my hero Henry Louis Vivian DerozioThe Harp Of IndiaWhy hang'st thou lonely on yon withered bough?Unstrung for ever, must thou there remain;Thy music once was sweet — who hears it now?Why doth the breeze sigh over thee in vain?Silence hath bound thee with her fatal chain;Neglected, mute, and desolate art thou,Like ruined monument on desert plain:O! many a hand more worthy far than mineOnce thy harmonious chords to sweetness gave,And many a wreath for them did Fame entwineOf flowers still blooming on the minstrel's grave:Those hands are cold — but if thy notes divineMay be by mortal wakened once again,Harp of my country, let me strike the strain -- Posted By Pt.Sanjay Rath to Rath's Rhapsody at 1/30/2007 05:22:00 PM
