1053 Why there is so little attention at one deserving place, and so much beyond-all-reasonable proportions attention at some other place?

Trigger for this particular Blog Post: While searching on Net, suddenly I came across a News Item: "Narendra Modi’s wife Jashodaben escapes unhurt in Rajasthan road accident ", at theHindu.com. Link for those who wish to read this important News item: Click here to go to http://www.thehindu.com/news/national/narendra-modis-wife-injured-in-road-accident-in-rajasthan/article22675666.ece. The Dateline of this Report is 7th Feb. 2018, 21.51 ist. As the News Report is from one of the most Reputed News Papers of India, we need not have any rethinking about the authenticity of the Report. Besides, very few News Papers and TV Channels reported this important News item, for reasons known only to those who missed to report it inadvertantly, or deliberately. After some searching, I could trace this News in 2nd largest Circulated Telugu Daily Andhrajyothy.com, dated 7th Feb. 2018. Here is the link for those Telugu Readers who may be interested to read it: Click here to go to: http://www.andhrajyothy.com/artical?SID=533051. Both the news reports might have been "late receipts" for Publication on 7th Feb. 2018. Hence, it will not be reasonable for us to expect detailed coverage on the same day.

For the subsequent days, till date, I searched if theHindu or the Andhrajyothy have published progress reports of her recovery. I could not trace anything about progress of treatment to Ms. Jashoda Ben at Chittodgadh Hospital, or about her returning back to her Residence in Gujarat, or about anything else relevant. If I have missed any News Reports, my Readers may please correct me.

It may be worthwhile to compare one important item, in both theHindu and the Andhrajyothy.com News Reports

Heading itself. TheHindu: "...Narendra Modi’s wife Jashodaben escapes unhurt in Rajasthan road accident. "

"...Her relative Basantbhai Modi, who was driving the car, was killed. Two other women and a security personnel were injured. ..."

"... The car was completely destroyed in the accident. ..."

"...Out of danger
While Ms. Jashodaben was out of danger, a woman relative and a security personnel suffered head injuries and were sent to a hospital in Udaipur. ..."

Andhrajyothy.com. First, I shall give in Telugu Script: "...న్యూఢిల్లీ: రాజస్థాన్‌లో ఇవాళ జరిగిన ఓ రోడ్డు ప్రమాదంలో ప్రధానమంత్రి నరేంద్ర మోదీ సతీమణి జశోదా బెన్‌ తీవ్రంగా గాయపడ్డారు. కోటా-చిత్తోడ్ హైవేపై జరిగిన ఈ ప్రమాదంలో ఆమె తలకు గాయాలయ్యాయి. సమాచారం అందుకున్న అధికారులు హుటాహుటిన ఆమెను చిత్తోడ్‌లో ఓ ఆస్పత్రికి తరలించారు. ప్రస్తుతం ఆమె ఆరోగ్యం నిలకడగానే ఉందనీ... వైద్యులు ఆమెకు చికిత్సి అందిస్తున్నారని పోలీసులు తెలిపారు. కాగా ఇదే ప్రమాదంలో తీవ్రంగా గాయపడిన ఓ వ్యక్తి ప్రాణాలు కోల్పోయినట్టు సమాచారం. ..."

Approximately in English: New Delhi: In Rajasthan, in a Road Accident which took place today, Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi's wife Jashoda Ben got intensely hurt. In this accident which took place on Kota Chittod Highway, her head received injuries. Officials who received information, immediately shifted her to a Hospital in Chittod. At present, her health is stable. ... Police have informed that Doctors are administering her treatement. While this being so, information indicates that one person who got severely hurt in the accident, lost his life. ..."

ybrao-a-donkey's personal views, not intended to be imposed on othes

Everyday I spend about one or two hours in the evening, helping my 93 year old father, to watch Telugu News Channels. My duty is to press remote's channel change button, whenever there are advertisements. From 7th Feb. 2018 to 25th Feb. 2018 I could not see any news item on Telugu News Channels, about the accident to the car in which Mrs. Jashoda Ben was travelling, whether she was discharged from the Hospital, whether she reached her home safe.

Question: Now, what is that you want to drive home through your blog post?

Since the night of the 24th Feb. 2018, all the TV Channels, and Print News Papers blatantly blaring about the arrival of the Mortal Remains of Ms. Sri Devi, Actor, who passed away in Dubai, whereto she went for attending marriage of a nephew of her husband Shri Boney Kapur. I have substantial respect to Ms. Sri Devi, as a Talented and Successful film star. The News of her suddenly passing away, is definitely newsworthy.

But my agony is: (I apologise to my readers who may be hurt by my open Criticism, at this inapt point of time, which is time for mourning to the departed Mrs. Sri Devi. This criticism of mine is not against Mrs. Sri Devi. It is against the Media, the Politicians, and the Public in General.). Why the entire Nation is enamored and AGOG for days together, with every News Paper and every TV Channel, and every POlitician, every Celebrity and Non-Celebrity profusely pouring out their condolences over the death of the Film Star.

President, Vice President, Prime Minister, most of the Central Cabinet Members, most the Chief Ministers of the 29 States have expressed their condolences either on TV, Twitter or in News papers, or everywhere. Will all of them express similar condolences if some other Senior Actor/Actress passes away? What criteria will decide their Condolence Response levels?

Disproportionate Attention is a Media-craze

Here is an apt Telugu verse, followed by Roman Script:

క. కాలం బైనం బోవక kAlam bainam bOvaka
యీ లోకము నందు నిలువ నెవ్వరి వశ మి I lokamu nandu niluva nevvari vaSa mi-
ట్లేల యనవివేక జనముల TlEla yana avivEka janamula
పోలిక శోకానలమునఁ బొగులుచు నుండన్. pOlika SokAnalamuna pogulucu nunDan.

from: Telugu mahAbhAratam by tikkana, Vol. 7 (drONA parva). Context Abhimanyu lost his life, caught in the Lotus Formation framed by Drona. PanDavas were lamenting about the loss of their sons.

English gist

When the Time (Judgement Day) arrives, without leaving, nobody can stay-put in this World. Why lament and consume oneself in flames of Grief (ceaselessly) in this manner, like unwise ignorant persons?

I believe that Media will continue this onslaught, till they get some other piece of meatless bone.

Why there is so little attention at one deserving place, and so much beyond-all-reasonable proportions attention at some other place?

Why there is so little Reporting (except a dozen lines on 7th Feb. 2018 and that too in only a very very few Channels and Websites) about the Chittod Car Accident in which Prime Minister's Dharma patni could fortunately get saved, her relative & driver Shri Basant Bhai Modi lost his life, another Relative Ms. Vimala Modi received injuries. And why there is so much hullabaloo about the passing away of Actors and Actresses, who can do anything for the sake of money, and who do not hesitate to knock away the spouses of others. When actors and actresses choose 2nd hand undivorced spouses, it shows their intellectual immaturity.

Mind boggling: Why some people in Gujarat and Rajasthan seem to suffer more perceptions of threats to their lives through Encounters?

Pravin Togadia

Earlier Pravin Togadia, a long time Associate of our Hon. Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi, expressed his apprehensions of being encountered by Rajasthan Police. http://www.firstpost.com/india/pravin-togadia-claims-there-is-threat-to-his-life-says-will-surrender-before-court-once-cleared-by-doctors-4304811.html

Jignesh Mevani, dalit MLA from Gujarat

Mr. Jignesh Mevani, a dalit M.L.A. from Gujarat, seems to be feeling the heat. His threat perception may be right or wrong, it is a different thing. Ordinarily, in the World's largest Democracy, and the Aspiring World's Economic Power like India, where its Constitution enshrines and cherishes Rule of Law, such Threat Perceptions ought not to arise.

Thought-provoking: Mr. Rahul Gandhi may not be a fitting substitute for Mr. Narendra Modi.

May be the capabilities of his speech-writers have improved, Mr. Rahul Gandhi has intensified his pitch of attack against Mr. Narendra Modi.
Mr. Rahul Gandhi, Congress President is reported to have said in Karnataka, on 25th May 2018:
“... A scam of Rs 22,000 crore happens, Nirav Modi runs away with Rs 22,000 crore from Indian Banks and Modiji (Prime Minister) says action will be taken ...” Click to go to http://www.freepressjournal.in/india/congress-calls-pm-modi-most-expensive-watchman-in-the-world/1227417.

This intensified pitch of Mr. Rahul Gandhi, raises one important question? Is Mr. Rahul Gandhi, a fitting substitute for Mr. Narendra Modi?

Is Mr. Rahul Gandhi a fitting substitute for Mr. Narendra Modi?

Ans: Certainly not. The fall in quality of Indian Prime Ministers, with every succession, commencing from the anointment of Mrs. Indira Gandhi as Prime Minister by the Congress Syndicate led by Late Kamaraj Nadar, the then Congress President, in 1966 should be deplorable and distressing for Indians.

When the Nation found that Mr. Manmohan Singh-Sonia Gandhi-Rahul Gandhi were causing miseries, they chose Mr. Narendra Modi as PM in 2014, with a fond hope that he would ameliorate the problems of People. Unfortunately, instead, he did not live upto expectations. Now in 2019, if the Nation were to go for a Substitute, then such chosen Substitute should be better than Mr. Narendra Modi. Mr. Rahul Gandhi has not shown any qualities befitting the shoes of a Prospective Prime Minister of India. I feel that INdian voters should not commit the same mistake which they have committed in 1980, when they brought back Indira Gandhi. It is hightime 2018 Indians search for New Leaders of proven honesty, integrity, justice, knowledge.

There is a line from a Telugu film song from the film Velugu nIDalu, penned by Late Shri Shri:

agAdhamu jalanithi lOnA
ANi mutyamu nnadi lE
"...EdI tananta tAnE
nI dariki rAdu
SOdhinci sAdhincAli
adE dhIra guNam.

English: Beneath under the deep seas,
lies the best pearl
Nothing will come to you on its own
You have to search and pick up.
That is the quality of the Courageous.

1043 What can be the possible reason for the unpleasant predicament of Mr. Praveen Togadia, International Working President of Vishwa Hindu Parishad?

It is mind boggling to think, why Mr. Praveen Togadia, the Working President of Vishwa Hindu Parishad is so much an extremely worried person today. He and our Hon. Prime Minister are contemporaries both having started with RSS, while Hon. Narendra Modi joined BJP, Shri Praveen Togadia joined Vishwa Hindu Parishad. Both seems to have shared a common objective of promoting a Hindu Nation (Hindu rAshTra), and their previous bon homie, friendliness, geniality and warmth was understandable. Here is a link to an IndianExpress.com report dated 18th Jan. 2018 in which Mr. Praveen Togadia claimed that his life is at risk. Click here to go to http://indianexpress.com/article/india/pravin-togadia-sees-plot-against-him-mentions-senior-gujarat-cop-pm-5029390/.

What Mr. Togadia is reported to have said is worth thoroughly analysing

"...an informant had told me that I would be killed in a police encounter. So I had left the VHP office and reached my close aide Ghanshyam Charandas’s home. At 3 pm, I left for Ahmedabad airport to catch a flight to Jaipur, thinking I would surrender in court, but on the way I fainted and then found myself in the hospital.

"...Main joint commissioner of police, crime branch, par aarop laga raha hoon. Unke phone ke 15 dino ke incoming aur outgoing call ko sarvjanik kiya jaye, ki kitni baar inhoney Pradhan Mantri se baat ki hai. ... " . Approx. English: I am accusing (on) the Joint Commissioner of Police, Crime Branch. Let his incoming and outgoing phone calls during the last 15 days be made Public, to know how many times these people spoke to the Prime Minister.

"...When Modiji was CM I have never talked to him on the phone. Do you think he will speak to me when he is the PM. I have never talked to him… as it is being stated. ..."

From the side of the Police Officer: "... We presented what we got based on our investigations. In the press conference which Pravinbhai had addressed on Tuesday he said that it was an attempted encounter, a politically motivated plan and a conspiracy against it. He had Z-plus security and he should not have jumped into an auto if he thought he was under threat. He could have called the security. ..."

(From Mr. Togadia's side): "...Those who are connecting me with the Congress after its leader came to check my health should ask such questions to the BJP leaders who have Congress-ised the party. ..."

ybrao-a-donkey's personal views not intended to be imposed on others

Mr. Praveen Togadia's reluctance to take along with him, the Z-Category Security Staff, appears to me somewhat quirky, because dozens of people both politicians and business tycoons crave to be protected by Z-Category Security.

For example, Readers may see this news item titled: "Mukesh Ambani's 24x7 Z-security cover to cost him Rs 15 lakh a month " at Click here to go to http://www.business-standard.com/article/companies/mukesh-ambani-s-24x7-z-security-cover-to-cost-him-rs-15-lakh-a-month-113042200692_1.html. This news item says:

"...Reliance Industries Chairman Mukesh Ambani is the latest among 200-odd people in Mumbai who are provided heightened security by the central government. The categories are termed Z-plus, Z, Y and X. The Z-category for Ambani means an armed commando squad will guard him all 24 hours in a day. It is given to only those with a very high security threat perception. ..."

When the Country's topmost Security at the cost of Nation, is provided to Mr. Togadia, to get which others have to shell out Rs. 1.5 million per month, it is not understandable why he is refusing. Not only that. He is expressing apprehensions that he will be killed in a Police Encounter. That means he is doubting his own ostensible Protectors. This type of apprehension of being "police-encountered" is understandable if some Islamic Terrorist from Pakisthan or Gulf Area suffers from. Mr. Togadia belongs to the Ruling Class of Gujarat since at least 2002, and Ruling Class of India since at least 2014. And this may, probably be the reason, for his name appearing in the Hit Lists of Alien-Infiltrated-Terrorists, and for the Z-Category Security provided to him, free of cost. If Z Category protection does not / cannot save him from Encounters, who else can save him? He may have to employ bouncers, just as film stars do.

A beautiful contextual Telugu Language verse, which depicts the situation well

In Roman Script: kUrimi gala dinamulalO
nEramu lennaDu kaluga nEravu mari yA
kUrimi virasambai napuDu
nEramulE tOcu cunDu nikkam sumatI !

English Gist: During the days of friendship, omissions and commissions of friends are ignored among themselves. When that friendship breaks into shambles, everywhere, the broken friends find omissions and commissions.

Now, here, Mr. Pravin togAdia is lamenting "...When Modiji was CM I have never talked to him on the phone. Do you think he will speak to me when he is the PM. I have never talked to him… as it is being stated. ...".

Why didn't Hon. Narendra Modi, after becoming Chief Minister of Gujarat, did not speak to his pal Mr. Praveen Togadia? It is understandable that Mr. Modi may not be able to contact Mr. Togadia, after becoming Prime Minister, because Mr. Modi is very busy with Great Persons like Trump, Puti, Netanyahu, Xi, Shinzo Abe, Angela Merkel etc. As he is busy hugging World Leaders, he may not have time to hug his youth-time friend Mr. Togadia.

Two more Sanskrit Verses about friendship are worth quoting

(From Bhartrihari's Niti Satakam)Friendship between Milk and water

kshiireshaatmagatodakaaya hi
gushaa dattam purA te'khilA

kshIrottApam avekshya tena payasam
svaatmam krus`Anau hutah

gantuh pAvakam unmanas
tad abhavad drusht`vA tu mitrApad

yukt tEna jalEna Samyati
sataha maitrI punastvIdruSI.

English Gist: 1. Milk lends its good qualities to water, when water is added to it.
2. Water jumps into fire, when it finds the milk boiling and in danger.
3. Milk also jumps into fire, unable to bear the danger to its friend (water).
4. Both enjoy peace, when milk and water live together.

Arambha gurvI, kshayiEI kramesha
laghvI puraa vruddhimatii ca pas`cAt
dinasya pUrvArdha parArdha bhinnA
chAyEva maitrI, khala sajjanAnAm .

English Gist: The poet discusses two types of friendship. 1. Friendship between two good persons.

2. Friendship between two rascals.

Friendship between two good persons starts on a small scale like a shadow in the midday which is very short and stretches to full length by dusk.


Friendship between two bad persons (or one good person and another bad person) starts ostentatiously and fails at the end, like a shadow in the morning which is very long and becomes negligible by midday.

There is also a need to make clear distinctions between different types of Associations. For example, an Association of an 'acquaintance' may be mistaken as friendship. The true nature of acquaintance is like the Association between two Railway Passengers travelling in Opposite seats in a Compartment. As long as they are in the train, they may give an appearance of being friends. But once their Stations come, they part their ways. Later, they may meet, or they may not meet again. Even if they meet, they may 1) recall their friendships and hug one another 2) they may not be able to recognise one another depending upon the time gap 3) one of them in a higher level in Society may not recognise the other 4) one of them in a higher level may recognise the other, but may pretend not to recognise 5) the one at higher level may avoid the other altogether. Any permutation and combination is possible.

535 How to buy a share of Rs. 10, for Rs. 96,010? १० रू. के षेर को ९६०१० रू. को खरीदने के उपाय పది రూపాయల షేర్ ను రూ.96010 కొనటం ఎలా

Question: How to buy a share of Rs. 10 , cheaply for Rs. 96,010/-?
Ans: I do not know. We have to ask Ms. Vasundahra Raje, CM of Rajasthan.

World language English in Roman script: प्रपंच भाषा अंग्रेजी, रोमन स्क्रिप्ट में। ప్రపంచ భాష ఇంగ్లీషు రోమన్ స్క్రిప్టులో.

People of erstwhile United Andhra Pradesh, and globally Telugu speaking people should not think that their own leaders alone are intelligent, and leaders of other States and other countries of the world are muffs.

This impression they may have, from the recent memories of former Chief Minister of United A.P., late Shri Y.S. Rajasekhara Reddy mobilising nearly a trillion Rupees through quid pro quo methods. The modus operandi of this great technique was asking those people seeking Andhra Pradesh State Government lands and permissions, to purchase shares in Companies of kith and kin, paying sky-high premia. This great corruption scam is sub-judice, and the son of Late Y.S. Rajasekhara Reddy is on bail. His son is at present the Opposition leader of the Residual Andhra Pradesh. Telugu people wanted to prove what Justice Markandeya Katju said, when he classified 90% of Indians are fools. Otherwise, how could they elect Mr. Chandra Babu Naidu, Mr. Y.s. Jaganmohan Reddy, Mr. K. Chandrasekhara Rao as their leaders?

There is no need for Telugu speaking people of the Unsplit Andhra Pradesh and the global Telugu speakers to undergo disquietitude that the leaders of their own State are corrupt and the leaders of other countries, and leaders of other states in India are crystal clean.

According to recent disclosures made by Mr. Lalit Modi, as per the reports appearing in media, he has invested Rs. 110 million in a Company, in Niyant Heritage Hotels, owned by Mr. Dushyant Singh, a B.J.P. M.P., and son of Ms. Vasundhara Raje, Chief Minister of Rajasthan.

Rs. 10 share, at a premium of Rs. 96,000! Mr. Lalit Modi is reported to have bought each share of Rs. 10, at a premium of Rs. 96,000/-.

Could we ever make this type of great gift to our mother? మనం మన తల్లి దండ్రులకు ఇలాటి బహుమతులను ఎప్పుడైనా ఇవ్వగలిగామా, లేక భవిష్యత్ లో ఇవ్వ గలమా.

Mr. Dushyant Singh and his wife is said to have gifted 1640 shares each (total 3280 shares) to his mother (i.e. Ms. Vasundhara Raje, the CM of Rajasthan). What will be the value of these gifted shares at the above premium of Rs. 96,000/- per share? 96,000 x 3280 = Rs. 314.88 million , or Rs. 31,48,80,000/-.

We already know the concessions made by the former Rajasthan Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot, and Mr. Veerbhadra Singh, the former CM of Himachal Pradesh, to Mr. Robert Vadra, the son-in-law of Ms. Sonia Gandhi. We can also recall the hardships of the honest I.A.S. Officer, Mr. Ashok Khemka, who brought out some of these shady deals, and the fate of his being dumped to a State of Caretaker of Museums in Hariyana.

There are 29 States in India. There are 29 Chief Ministers. Our Prime Ministers, Chief Minister, and Ministers are not novices, who do not know quid pro quo techniques. Even if they are novices, they do not lack in learning skills.

What will be the aggregate amounts of hidden quid pro quo in purchase of weapons, aircraft, crude oil, edible oils at All India level? What will be the total quantum of quid pro quo 's undertaken by all the 29 Chief Ministers of India with infinite number of Lalit Modis? I can't calculate. We need a Super Computer, with thousands of data-processors.

Now, how many Lalit Modis are there within India and outside India? None of them have been made fugitives. This fate has befallen, why only to Lalit Modi? Should we say that it is a quirk of fate? Definitely not!

These are only the vagaries of Capitalism. Just as the vagaries of monsoons and earthquakes cannot really be predicted with mathematical exactitude, we cannot predict the vagaries of behaviors of business rivalries and conspiracies, retributions, which become more pronounced when accompanied by political intrigues.

Question: Won't these problems exist in Communism/Marxism/Total Socialism, which you are trying to spread?

Ans. as per the perception of ybrao a donkey: These problems may not arise within India. Reason: There will be no Companies and there will be no shares. However, Indian bureaucrats and politicians storing their corrupt moneys in secret accounts abroad will continue. But that money, they will not be able to use in India, because in India, Marxism will definitely remove money, currency and their purchasing powers. There will be nothing which money can buy in a truly Socialist India.

However, Indian bureaucrats and politicians can frequently visit abroad, and enjoy the power of spending their ill-gotten money stashed abroad. (Example of this lavish Indian spending abroad, you can see in our blog post No. Click to go post No.507).

We can solve this problem by going for World Total Socialism, True-World Marxism, True-World-Communism (Not the China brand). For global problems, we need global solutions, probably. For this reason only, Workers of All countries have to unite, some day or other! Right now, it is an empty slogan, because the world is floating on a wave of reckless Capitalism.

Today's Telugu poetry
Everybody knows that it will be necessary to lobby and bribe, even for Heads of States of countries to get an invite from White House, to meet the U.S. President. It is an American Custom. I do not have evidence, but I believe that in India also to meet President, PM, important Central Ministers, Congress President, some lobbying and probably some bribing may become necessary.

I do not wish to say wish to say that everybody who gets an appointment to meet Indian Prez/PM/Home Minister/Congress Prez goes through lobbies and bribing, but, definitely, seeing them other than in election rallies appears to be more difficult than having a darSan of Lord Venkateswara, Tirumala.

Example: Pl. see my blog post No. 491 Click to go to 491, where you can see the news about film actor Mr. Mohan Babu going to invite India's PM to invite him for son's marriage, and Mr. Mohan Babu's daughter managing a selfie with PM.

It also seems to be a historical Indian custom: Gate keepers had to be bribed to enter kings' courts and sultans' darbars. Of course, there were exceptions. Here is one verse which shows the perturbation in the mind of an agitated visitor to a city. Identify the city, visitor, and the king.

"...నెబ్భంగి దర్శింపఁగలను తద్ద్వారపాలు రెక్కడి విప్రుండ విం దేలవచ్చెద వని యడ్డపెట్టిరే నపుడు వారి కేమైనఁ పరిదానఁ మిచ్చి చొచ్చెద నన్న నూహింప నర్థశూన్యుండ నేను ..."

"Above quote in Latin Script:...Ebbhangi darSimpagalanu tat dvArapAlu
rekkaDi viprunDav indEla vaccedav ani aDDa peTTirEni apuDu vAri
kEmaina paridAnam icci cocceda nannan Uhimpan ardha SUnyunDa nEnu...."

English Gist: "...How can I see (him)? If those gate-keepers ask me wherefrom have I come, and why did I come, and stop me, then, what gift can I give them and enter in? To anticipate this (and overcome the problem), I am a person without money. ..."
