How's 2023 Treating You?

2022 was a bit better year, especially if I look at some highly disturbed years before that. Interestingly, those highly disturbed years became the source of my writing as well as research.

You are what you do most or where you spend most of your time. What I am doing or will try to achieve in 2023?

A try to know the governance of India. To understand lilbit about world governance also. Making and breaking of governments. What kind of circus is this? Sure, not those democracies, we studied in books or today's kids are studying. Make future generations aware who are their rulers and what kind of political system they have. How that system works? And how it's impacting their lives.

To understand media and learn something more about it. To make it a part of my professional journey, in some specialized form. My current subjects would be central to that. Governance, role of media and impact on living beings, especially humans. One such series might be at the tune of campus crime series -- political diseases. Other maybe, sometime later, botanical choreography. In this series, focus would be on plants as the name indicates. 

I have also started lilbit interaction with media people, in whatever form. That would be continue. 

During last few months especially, I searched some media courses and their syllabi. Someone suggested in 2015 or 2016 I guess, that you don't need general journalism degree as whatever you are doing is somehow part of that. Better, check what you wanna do and if that course compliments that objective. While doing that search came across some interesting observations. I would put them in some future post.

My dream of a writing hut, my holiday home at my paternal place is still a concept. Pending work for 2023? Along with, there would be a try to channelize at least some youths in that surrounding to be financially secure. 

Media Types or Types of Media

What am I searching over the world in media programs? 

Trends and some truths

When we design some subject's syllabus then consider a few things at least. How much relevant is that subject in today's world? How it will benefit the learner or society? Is it basic, foundation of some subject or belongs to application area? Or is it a mixture? What type of programs other institutes are running? Can we include or incorporate something from them also?

Interdisciplinary designs are most sought after. As they teach something practical along with foundation. They broaden our view. 

Which university, of which country or place is teaching what kinda program, seems also talking something. The way world is interconnected, is not just about people and places but type of education system and programs and degrees are also talking something.

When we say media types or type of media then

Broader understanding is this political party media or that party media. Neutral to some extent or highly patronizing. Then there maybe specific area, subject specialized media. 

There is no meaning of any event or program if it is not spread by media. It would be localized, among specific area people. Here comes media and technology role. How mediatech spread some event or able to restrict to specific area or even blindout?

So media becomes even more important across subjects. Then be it humanities, commerce or sciences. As wide as biotechnology, physics, chemistry, geography, law, english, hindi, visual arts, politics to name just a few.

Just the way, what politics to do with covid-19? How it's related to media? What type of role media played in its spread or hype? Who funded that worldwide event management? What kind of industry is that? And who died (err murdered) most from this scandal? Or such scandals? As it was not the only such scandal in human history. 

So it's not just media and medium which is important BUT SYNTHESIS i.e. synthetic media and its components are even more important.

India, Europe, US or Australia?

India, Europe, US or Australia?

That's how 2022 ended and that's how 2023 started. Online travel is continue, along with some writing, lil bit reading and some interesting observations. Started writing in 2021 and it's continue with some ups, some downs under worst kinda control freaks, regime, dictates. 

We feel comfortable in a space or surrounding where people support and encourage, what we wanna do or like. Not the other way. What to say about a world, where people don't consider an adult even an adult and feel they know better even about others life and their priorities? Better thing is to get out of that zone first. But question is where is that zone, place? 

Even while writing and searching, mad people try to enforce on you either some paap or some illegal, their own kinda created baap. Disgusting zone and disgusting people. Silly stupid irritations, freaking experimentations on the name of relations. The zone of number lovers, not human lover. The zone of pastache, gone away, non existent experimenters and enforced reminders. Buchadkhana of stand up comedians, porno lovers, human rights violators, violent psychos. No offence to comedians but buchadkhanas and their creators.

Wherever I search, there are direct-indirect threats and warnings. Sector-14 design zone, policia zone, stand up psychos zone and blah, blah. Means whole world is bad like these dictators? Or warners are not happy themselves that I will be out of their disgusting tentacles? Or their ugly tentacles are everywhere?

Merry XMAS & A Happy New Year

Merry XMAS & A Happy New Year to one and all. 

How was 2022?

For me, it was another interesting year. Watched some interesting shows of "Show, Don't Tell" Series.  One of the most (err most?) interesting show in this series was of interaction of academics and judiciary. On that, if Chief Justice of a country becomes party to that, it becomes even more interesting. No? But then I reminded back 2018 that it was another 4-judges show from where I started realizing this hell. Hell or heaven, whatever they wanna call it.

Tip of the iceberg:

I started calling Campus Crime Series, tip of the iceberg, when I started realizing and watching in real time, people's lives and their cases or life's miseries. These cases and lives showed me how upper strata of society controlling society and others lives. In that control comes everything, including living or non living in their way of so-called win or success. This is circus (err nexus) of Politics, Business and so-called Defence. How courts could be away from that?

In coming year, you will watch, read or listen more about such shows and their details in "Show, Don't Tell" Series. And these shows would not be just about big chairs or people shitting on those chairs. But my focus would be that common person suffering out there to that last strata of society, without knowledge and without consent -- due to the nexus of these so-called big chairs (irresponsible, greedy people, most) across different fields. 

Decluttering and Organization

Some files this side, some files that side. Get rid of some unnecessary stuff. And a bit access-easy-storage. Nothing more. Decluttering for me is a regular stuff. It's not something, once a year, before some fest or special occasion thing. 

Moving out of India process? Overthinking, at least for a while. I wrote somewhere, some noticed and probably some did not. Trying to design some syllabus with some research in mind. Maybe, some project also. Interdisciplinary design, addition to my current subjects. Media, politics, sciences and impact on life especially humans, like political diseases. Who can collaborate? Whoever, who can contribute something to that.

Some questions:

Pics stuff and related commentary. I wanna know some softwares, which people use to alter even biometrics. Some budget cameras or recording devices beyond this alteration impact but still good for the purpose? And important how and where to store -- someone like me, whose all devices are under this "corrupted" impact?

Gothenburg

I am an online traveler since last blah, blah time. It's easy and convenient way of travel. It also gives you interesting information about places, people, culture, history and lots more. Since last few years, I am trying to switch err mix something to my subjects to make them more interdisciplinary. 

Afterall, the time lost err gained in understanding and collecting some information must be utilized better way. Since almost a decade, Europe is of special interest. Thinking about to continue that travel. 

Let's come along to a beautiful city in that travel series, Gothenburg

Mindset Matters

In last few years, came across some interesting terminology.

Like, wretched earth, cursed land, ruined desserts and many such metaphors revolving around women reproductive life or organs. Maybe even men. Better to give such terminology just one word -- toxicity. 

Toxicity of mind, views, perspective etc. First and most important thing is humans are not mere one pair of chromosome out of 23rd pairs of chromosomes. Not even fully one pair as that one pair also somehow depends on remaining chromosomes pairs. Another, having kids is not just about producing kids. It's much more than that. Like plants, like pets, you can adopt and production factory business is over.

It's not mishappenings or abuses which ruin life. But mindset. Don't allow anyone so much power that, that person can even dare to ruin your life. And that starts from mind. Over from mind, over from life. 

Life is big than some happening/s or mishappening/s. Life goes on even when dearest person in our life leaves this world. I wonder then how people could spoil their whole life to some abuse/s or such abusers? Let the abuse with the abuser. Do not carry it with you. अपना फंडा तो यही है, दुनिया का दुनिया जाने। 

बोल के दिमाग आज़ाद है तेरा, क्यूंकि बाकी ज़ंजीरें तो टूट जाती है, मगर दिमागी ज़ंजीरों से मुक्ति पाना थोड़ा मुश्किल होता है -- जैसे कंगारू कोर्ट्स। 

जहाँ विद्यालय, वहीं चारों धाम

जहाँ विद्यालय, वहीं चारों धाम 

वहीं श्रद्धा, वहीं विश्वास

वहीं मंदिर, वहीं मस्जिद 

वहीं गुरुद्वारा, चर्च वहीं  

वहीं मतभेदों के बीच भी, संवाद। 

वहाँ पुजारियों-मौलवियों जैसों का 

ये मेरा धर्म

या ये तेरा धर्म 

तू-तड़ाक, और खामखा के 

लड़ाई-झगड़ों से 

भला क्या लेना-देना ?

जहाँ पुस्तकालय, वहीं देवालय 

भला पुस्तक का या पुस्तकालय का 

शराब या ठेके से क्या लेना-देना?

धर्मों के नाम पे पनपे, अधर्मों पे 

या गुनाहों पे, रोक के लिए 

अज्ञानता को भगाना भी जरूरी है 

ऊँच-नीच के भेदभाव को 

असमानता को दूर करने के लिए 

ज्ञान का होना भी जरूरी है। 

वो शराब या ठेके से नहीं 

दिमाग को नशे के जाल में फँसाने से नहीं 

बल्की उस नशे के जाले से 

बाहर निकालने पे मिलेगा। 

बस यही फर्क है

मंदिर-मस्जिद वाले धामों पे 

पीछे धकेलते, ज़िंदगियों को रोकते  

गुनाह मिलेंगे और मिलेंगे वृंद्धावन।

मगर शिक्षण संस्थानों और पुस्कालयों में 

दिमाग के जाले उतरेंगे 

अज्ञानता में बंद पड़े, द्वार खुलेंगे 

और आगे बढ़ने के रस्ते मिलेंगे।   

Villages

I have forgotten Rhythms of Life and lost somewhere amid crimes and criminals? That's temporary. 

This one, Rhythms of Life is long lasting.

Some politician said, we will make 100 smart cities. What about villages? As till today, India's most population live in villages. वैसे हालात तुम्हारे शहरों के भी अच्छे ना  हैं -- by the way, what happened to those smart cities?

In case someone thinks to live in a village, what would be your choice? 

Overcrowded villages nearby NCR, metros or nearby some big cities? Or villages far away from metros or cities and less crowded? What would be problem in such villages? Less facilities or even life support basic services? -- especially when we think about villages in India. 

In last few years, I heard some people calling Chandigarh a village. Wow! Once upon a time, I used to like that city. Probably, in gamblers language, that's a village. Still like this city but not that much as it has also become crowdy with time. But still, it's better than most cities of India. 

What if villages can be like Chandigarh or even better? 

Let's have a journey around globe of some beautiful villages? 

Or try to make your own villages better and beautiful? You wanna live there or not, wanna live for some time or planning some permanent settlement, at least have some responsibility of belonging. 

How that change could be? Only by people's participation, not by totally depending on governments. Governments in most underdeveloped or still developing countries generally don't work for people. They work as per corporations and power houses designs. And their designs are nothing but exploitation. Most such governments are irresponsible and without any accountabilities to common people. Their responsibility and accountability are only to the people who gift them these chairs. And these people are not common people. 

For any government where common people are their concern, focus would be on:

Education not religious propagandas. Religious propagandas are most binding forces among less educated populations. It means, people there have more problems and trying to seek some refuse somewhere as they don't have better resources. Maybe justice system is also dead there.

Healthcare, not mere healthcare propagandas and shops on the name of healthcare. Not enforced invisible programs but transparent choices.

At least some living standards. Not making money even on the name of safe drinking water or creation of market even on that name. 

How was the writing break?

A year of writing, a year when you feel a bit good after so many years. The feel was like what the hell I was doing, all these years in this stagnant shit?

When you try to go away from something, live away from something but people keep you entrapped. When you finally decide to get rid off that place, people but

But you have been called back and again fall prey to their designs. 2017 to 2021, one after other cases, cases and cases. For good or for bad? For whose good or whose bad? Only time will reveal. But the decision to take a break for writing, for understanding of this coded world of these cases was not bad. 

This writing break was good in many sense. 

When you distance yourself from something, only then you realize the bad or good of something. Else you become so habitual and adaptive to that environment that you cannot realize the real impact of it on your life. 

It was the year, when most frequent health problems I had gone through in last few years, were no more. 

It was the year, when date by date chronology of cases gave the idea and proofs of something, probably I could not ever know without doing that. 

It was the year, when I could publish something. And that was not something. In this chronology of understanding, these little steps would prove the foundation stone of something real valuable. 

It was the year, when I was away from office but back to academics. In that office, I had forgotten the meaning of academics. But now I am back to academics. Back to my own field. There I had labs err empty labs, expired chemicals, strange files footballs, hurdle creators at every step and strange games (read gamble). 

Beyond that office, I have a lab and all that one needs to do their experiments, to get results. Interestingly, it's a world wide lab, full of so much material and types of problems to solve that one life is too short. This is an interesting intradisciplinary amalgam. 

Can common people watch this lab live?

If I can, anyone can. With time, this secret world would be more transparent to common people. I guess, to certain extent, so many people already know the happenings around them, around the world.

Some questions, some rumours, some truths:

Where I am living right now?

Wherever I was. University campus. Same Big Boss House 30, Type-4. Though now I have a second place also and that is my parental home. So it's kinda on-off, here and there.

Have I left my job? 

Ask the concerned chairs, so-called well-wishers. Better if they can give answer in my writings rather than eating half, telling half. Else I am already on my way to publish all, one by one.

Do I really need this job?

That's an interesting question though not difficult to answer. Wait for that time that I can answer it straight.
