TODAY'S headlines: :
♚■MR. K. CHANDRA SEKHARA RAO , CHIEF MINISTER OF TELANGANA, HAS LET DOWN TELANGANA STATE ROAD TRANSPORT CORPORATION WORKERS ♞:▲1. Telangana Region RTC Employees thought that they would benefit by formation of a separate Telangana State. They were misled by unscrupulous political leaders like Mr. K. Chandrasekhara Rao. They participated in what was called 'sakala janula samme' (General Strike by all the People), during the Telangana Movement. KCR used them for his anointment as Emperor of Telangana.▼
▲2. 2019 came. Telangana is already five years old. KCR established himself for the second time as Dictator of Telangana. We know "Power corrupts people. Absolute power corrupts absolutely. ▼
▲3. Now, KCR is unwilling even to call the Striking RTC Employees for Talks, in spite of strictures by the Telangana High Court. He has declared 48000 striking Employees as "self-dismissed". Striking Employees have been beaten with Lathis. ▼
▲4. TRS Employees and Ministers ought to have guided their Leader KCR correctly. Often, they do not even get an Interview from KCR. In India, people do not control their representatives ie. MLAs and MPs. And MLAs cannot control their Chief Ministers. MPs cannot control their Prime Ministers. ▼
▲5. This is a matter of shame for Indian Democracy which boasts that it is the World's Largest Democracy. ▼

■SUPREME COURT JUDGEMENT ON RAMA JANMA BHOOMI LAND, FAVORING TEMPLE CONSTRUCTION, IS NOT UNFORESEEN /UNPREDICTABLE. ♞:▲1. https://www.indiatoday.in/india/story/ayodhya-supreme-court-hearing-live-updates-1609815-2019-10-16. This indiatoday.in report, reproduced the proceedings dt. 16th Oct. 2019, the last day of the hearing in the Supreme Court ▼
▲2. A quote from the Report: 02:44 PM: Counsel for Muslim parties, Rajeev Dhawan, who earlier tore down a fresh piece of evidence produced by the Hindu Mahasabha, said, "It's going viral that I tore up a map in court. That was done on court orders. I said I want to throw it away but the CJI said you can tear it up."
CJI Ranjan Gogoi replies, "We agree with Mr Dhawan. We said that you're welcome to tear it up if you want." ▼
▲3. CJI permitting a lawyer of one of the Parties to tear up a piece of fresh evidence presented by another party, is somewhat strange.▼
▲4. ybrao-a-donkey's humble personal view: In school class rooms, occasionally children tear sheets from their note books, make paper planes and fly them. This takes place when the teacher is not in the Class Room, and definitely not with the permission of the Teacher. ▼
▲5. CJI permitting the Lawyer Shri Rajiv Dhawan to tear the evidence submitted by Hindu Maha Sabha, happened in the Supreme Court. Even if the Evidence submitted by Hindu MahaSabha is not admissible or is not 'material' for affecting the final verdict, yet permitting a Lawyer representing another Party is somewhat odd, and it gives an impression that a decision has already been made by the Bench, and the Proceedings of the Final Day are only "fait accompli". ▼

■sringara SATAKAM OF BHARTRUHARI: WOMEN, exceed swans in Captivating Talents ♞:♛008. YEtAs calad valaya samhati mEkhalOttha
JhankAra nUpura parAjita rAjahamsyaha
Kurvanti na manO vivaSam taruNyO
Vitrasta mugdha hariNI sadrusaih kaTAkshaih.♝
♛The poet wonders: These girls equalling timid young deer with their askant looks, will they not captivate the hearts of men? The poet describes the capabilities of the girls and finds that they have excelled the male swans by attracting the female swans. Here, the excellence of the girls is in their elegant movement producing the "kala kala" sounds of swans. The bangles, the waist-ornaments, and the ornaments of the legs make resonant 'gala gala' sounds.♝

TODAY'S QUOTE FROM VYASA MAHABHARATA ENGL. TRANSL.: :
■VYASA MAHABHARATA TRANSLATED BY Ganguli, BOOK3, BOOK OF FOREST/m03 166.♞:♛The Mahabharata, Book 3: Vana Parva: Tirtha-yatra Parva♝
♛This Episode describes the battle between Lord Shiva and Pandava Prince Arjuna. Shiva appeared before Arjuna in disguise, and tested the valor of Arjuna. Thereafter, Shiva asks Arjuna to choose a boon. This part is also called KIRATARJUNIYAM. At the end, Arjuna gets Lord Shiva's Arrow called 'pAsupatam'.
♛ And, O king, he also said unto me, 'Why hast thou, transgressing the rules of hunting, hit the animal first hit at by me? With these sharpened shafts will I destroy your pride.♝
♛ Stay!' Then that mighty-bodied one holding the bow rushed at me.♝
♛ And with volleys of mighty shafts, he covered me entirely, even as a cloud covereth a mountain with showers.♝
♛ Then, on my part, I covered him with a mighty discharge of arrows.♝
♛ Thereupon, with steady arrows having their points aflame, and inspired with mantras, I pierced him even as (Indra) riveth a mountain with a thunderbolt.♝
♛ Then his person began to be multiplied a hundredfold and a thousandfold.♝
♛ At this, I pierced all this bodies with shafts.♝
♛ Then again all those forms became one, O Bharata.♝
♛ Thereat I struck at it.♝
♛ Next, he now assumed a small body with a huge head, and now a huge body with a small head.♝
♛ And, O king, he then assumed his former person and approached me for fight.♝
♛ And, O foremost of the Bharata race, when in the encounter I failed to overwhelm him with arrows, I fixed the mighty weapon of the Wind- god.♝
♛ But I failed to discharge it at him. And this was a wonder.♝
♛ And when that weapon thus failed of effect, I was struck with amazement.♝
♛ However, O king, exerting myself more vigorously, I again covered that being with a mighty multitude of shafts.♝
♛ Then taking Sthunakarna, and Varuna and Salava, and Asmavarsha weapons, I assailed him, profusely showering shafts.♝
♛ But, O king, he instantly swallowed up even all these weapons of mine.♝
♛ And when all those (weapons) had been swallowed up, I discharged the weapon presided over by Brahma.♝
♛ And when the blazing arrows issuing from that weapon were heaped upon him all around, and being thus heaped over by that mighty weapon discharged by me, he increased (in bulk).♝
♛ Then all the world became oppressed with the energy begotten of the weapon hurled by me, and the firmament and all the points of the sky became illumined.♝
♛ But that one of mighty energy instantly baffled even that weapon.♝
♛ And, O monarch, when that weapon presided over by Brahma had been baffled I was possessed with terrible fear.♝
♛ Thereupon immediately holding even my bow and the two inexhaustible quivers, I shot at that being, but he swallowed up all those weapons.♝
♛ And when all the ♝
♛weapons had been baffled and swallowed up, there ensued a wrestling between him and myself.♝
♛ And we encountered each other first with blows and then with slaps.♝
♛ But incapable of overcoming that being, I fell down stupefied on the ground.♝
♛ Thereupon, O mighty king, with a laugh, that wonderful being at my sight vanished at that spot together with the woman.♝
♛ Having accomplished this, O illustrious monarch, that divine one assumed another and unearthly form (clad in) wonderful raiment.♝
♛ And renouncing the form of a hunter, that divine lord of the gods, resumed his own unearthly appearance and that mighty god stood (there).♝
♛ Then appeared before me with Uma that manifest divine one, having the bull for his mark, wielding the Pinaka, bearing serpents and cable of assuming many forms.♝
♛ And, O repressor of foes, advancing towards me, standing even then in the field ready for conflict, that wielder of the trident addressed me saying, I am well-pleased with thee.♝
♛ Then that divine one held up my bows and the couple of quivers furnished with inexhaustible shafts and returned them unto me saying, 'Do you ask some boon, O Kunti's son.♝
♛ I am well-pleased with thee.♝
♛ Tell me, what I shall do for thee.♝
♛ And, O hero, express the desire that dwelleth in your heart.♝
♛ I will grant it.♝
♛ Except immortality alone, tell me as to the desire that is in your heart.♝
♛ Thereat with my mind intent on the acquisition of arms, I only bowed down unto Siva and said, 'O divine one, if you beest favourably disposed towards me, then I wish to have this boon,— I wish to learn all the weapons that are with your god-head.♝
