Life is an illusion

Another election has approached. Another election, another dance of democracy. Dance and drama. So much drama! Now we the smart citizens of this country need to decide. Are these political parties different from each other in any way at all? In corruption? In criminalization of politics? In divisive tactics? We have all read how most of the candidates of these parties are crorepathis now. We have seen how some of these have criminal backgrounds. And we have seen how they are all trying to divide us in the name of religion, language. And we have also seen that, when they are asking our votes, they do not tell us, what kind of improvements they plan to bring into our lives. Improve our roads, reduce our water scarcities, bring down the  inflation, reduce unemployment. No, I haven't heard any of these things. I don't think, you have heard these plans  either. Instead what we have heard was just blame games. Blaming the opposition party for everything. Using very non-parl...

Let me go back to my grumblings. Why does google keep changing its methodologies? I have added its ads many many times before. Each time there are new sets of rules. Each time I had to struggle, wondering what is the mistake. But worse part is UI. Some times I feel that a particular screen is not looking quite nice. But I don't know how to fix it. Change the text size or color or gravity? No, no, I am not God. (yet). I can not change 'g' - neither its value, nor its direction.

I being the person with motivationally challenged, will stop the work completely and go back to 'freecell' or 'quantico' So, I should ask HIM not only to make me the 'best' developer in the world, but also to 'motivate' me to work in that direction. 

How does it feel to see the revolution you built or participated, crumble in front of you? Turn it into a monster, turn into a similar system you were fighting against or worse than that? Cause violence and death of hundred of people? I am not talking about Jayaprakash Narayan and his Janata party (where is it now?). I am not talking about more recent Anna Hazare and Lokpal Andolan and Kejriwal. And I am certainly not talking about Gandhiji and Independence struggle. I am talking about Milan Kundera - a Czech born French writer, the author of "The unbearable lightness of being". He was part of communist movement in his country. Then the party arrested him. Later Russia invaded his country. And finally he came to France and settled there. Now Czechoslovakia has canceled his citizenship. He rarely goes to his homeland. If at all he goes, he does with a masquerade( I know it is not the right word). Yes, I recently read his book and I keep thinking how disillusioned he...
