939 This is the Curse of Capitalism! It makes Bachelors of Technology, foolish devils!!!

Why do we study B.Tech? To earn food, clothing, shelter, old age security, some essentials like medicare, education for children, and above all some dignity of labor, and dignity of life with self-esteem, some element of self-actualisation. Beyond that what we need, may be an 18 sq.ft. pit (6'x3' approx.) to bury us. If our religious customs prescribe cremation for our body, we do not need even that. But Capitalism makes highly qualified persons blood suckers.

Question: You ybrao-a-donkey always seem to find fault with Capitalism for all the evils of the world, as if in your blindly adored Communism / Marxism / Total Socialism, there will be no corruption, and there will be no blood-suckers?

Ans: Even in complete Socialism, there is scope for Corruption. Events and history in Russia, China, erstwhile East Europe had proved that, and are proving that.

To start with, for the benefit of those who do not know this B.Tech Gangadhar is, we shall have a link to the news report: Click here to go to see this youtube video.. Peculiarity of this huge revelation is that, only Telugu TV and Print Media seems to give importance to his important news, in spite of their being very busy with the expansion of Andhra Pradesh Cabinet. English Print and TV Media seems to have ignored it totally, may be because, to them, it may appear that Rs. 1 billion is too small.

This is not the first time that Rs. 1 billion worth of 'disproportionate assets to known sources of income' of corrupt officials has been caught. During this year itself, there is a case of a Dy. Superintendent of Police, case of a Dy. Transport Commissioner, who are also not 'petty officials'.

These cases also, we can discuss separately. Prime Minister Narendra Modi has also repeatedly announced that the primary object of his DEMONETISATION OF HIGH VALUE INDIAN RUPEE CURRENCY NOTES made on NOv. 8, 2016, was to uproot out corruption. He has repeatedly publicised his 'man-ki-bath' (Word of the mind) that he will continue his fight against corruption, by urging citizens to shift to digital payments using Aadhar Cards. The Central Government has made digital payments compulsory for buying railway tickets at selected railway stations.

Now, we can see what the corruption of an Engineer-in-Chief, a Dy. Transport Commissioner (DTC), a Dy. Superintendent of Police (DSP) has got to do with purchase of train tickets online using x card or y card? Why did all these Officials behave like cannibals who are fond of 'nara mAmsam' (human flesh?), in spite of being highly qualified persons, enjoying in positions which enable them to make speeches to people?

According to my perception, the possibilities and tendencies of persons and institutions becoming corrupt are higher in CAPITALISM when compared to True Complete Socialism, because in Capitalism, one can accumulate Private Properties. With abundant money, one can purchase all the non-sensical goods which are available in the Euro-American World, and show them off to other not-so-fortunate fellow citizens. (These are also called 'goods of conspicuous consumption, and demonstration effect'). In truly Socialist Societies and countries, it will not be possible, because there will be no money, with the exception of, may be some coupons to take delivery of food, clothing, shelter, etc. necessities, some comforts.

CORRUPTION IS POSSIBLE EVEN IN TRULY SOCIALIST COUNTRIES AND SOCIETIES

Though, domestically, there may not be banks to stock ill-gotten wealth, or private properties to accumulate, still corruption is possible for those who can money-launder through under-invoicing of exports, over-invoicing of imports, arranging the difference (kickbacks) to be credited to secret numbered accounts in tax havens such as Switzerland, Island of Man, Singapore, Bahamas, British Virgin Islands etc. This happens both in Capitalist countries, and Socialist countries. As far as truly socialist/communist/marxist countries are concerned, this luxury of accounts abroad, everybody cannot have. It will be available only to top bosses.

Context. संदर्भ. సందర్భం Maggi noodle food, marketed by Nestle in India, is under close scrutiny in India, about Maggi's contents and their effect on health of consumers. Some Police cases have been registered against film stars Big B (Amitabh Bachchan) and Ms. Madhuri Dikshit.

It is a world-wide well-known fact that celebrities all over the world, particularly the sports persons, film and TV stars and singers, make millions and billions of bucks, endorsing all sorts of products in the world. Their sponsors seem to believe that by showing celebrities and stars, billions can be minted, under the assumption that millions and billions of gullible people buy their products, if celebrities and stars endorse them. So far, sufficient dependable studies are not available to prove the DIRECT PROXIMATE CAUSE-&-EFFECT RELATIONSHIPS between Celebrity-endorsement-advertisements and the sales graphs. consumers buy, believing the words of celebrities and stars.

Celebrity and star brand ambassadors and endorsers, in their eagerness to maximise their total revenue (Our modern economics says that every business person should maximise his-her revenue), forget everything else, and repeat like parrots whatever their sponsors say, without verifying the field level facts behind them.

While it is true that celebrity star brand ambassadors cannot act as detectives in the genre of Sherlock Holmes and Watson, they have to take reasonable minimum care and exercise diligence inm MAKING REPRESENTATIONS ON BEHALF OF SPONSORS. IF they reproduce everything their sponsors dictate, like faithful dogs in HMV logo "His Masters' Voice", then, there will be a danger of their either misrepresenting, or becoming a conspirator to a fraud. This is because, common people think that celebrity stars are great persons with 100x more intellect when compared to their own intelligence. The common people may not know that celebrities can be more imbecile than themselves (common people and consumers).

Celebrities and stars who face prosecution will now employ top Indian Supreme Court lawyers who will charge some millions for their appearances. Those great celebrity Indian Supreme Court lawyers can now find out some loop-holes in law, rules and procedures, case-law, and of course, save their celebrity clients. Thereafter, both can buy posh homes in Central London, or somewhere else, and live as neighbors.

Multi National Companies (MNCs) throughout the world know their business tactics. This is not the first time, they face a scenario of possible prosecution, suits for compensation, or a ban on sale of their products. The MNC defence, attacking, business tactics can range from bribing to intimidation. In the continuum of the spectrum, there is also a possibility of their bringing pressure from the Presidents and Prime Ministers of their parent countries, on the Government of India. In case of Nestle, which is a Swiss MNC, we can expect phones from American President, Swiss President or the British PM, or all, one after another. Say for example: Obama in the morning, Cameron during lunch time, Ms. Simonetta Sommaruga in the evening.

This is not an impossibility. The present job of most of the Presidents and Prime Ministers of Europe, North America, ANZ, ASEAN, seems to be precisely this only-- pleading on behalf of their Corporates, some thing or the other.

Example: Every European, Noth American, ANZ, ASEAN Head of the State/Govt./some Ministry will invariably ask India about the progress the Indian rulers have made in making India, more EASY TO DO BUSINESS IN INDIA. Conversely, the Indian Prezs, PMs, Foreign Ministers, Commerce Ministers, when they go abroad, make promises that everything has been liberalised and reformed. Of course, they may not make a promise of going to the extreme point of permitting MNCs to literally or metaphorically cannibalise Indian people, but the leverages which the MNCs will be extended to, in the regulation of environment, health, monopolistic behaviors, misleading stakeholders, tax evasion, are going to be far higher than what permissions are given 100% native businesses, particularly the SMEs (Small and Medium Enterprises).

Bringing pressure from foreign Presidents/PMs can happen, even in case of religious conversions. It is an open fact, that alien religions have poached, and are poaching into India, in the guise of running hospitals and schools. The missionaries, whenever they find, that there is the slightest resistance to proseylitization, from the Indian society,-- immediately messages go to their donors and sponsors abroad, that there is no religious freedom in India, and that Indian Constitution is being violated. The foreign donors and sponsors approach their Presidents/PMs representing as if some apocalypse is taking place in India. Without verifying facts, immediately the foreign Presidents/PMs may either directly phone to their Indian counterparts, or direct their Ambassadors/High Commissioners to meet persons at very high level.

Indian Media too, very often, blindly give wide and detailed publicity to the advertising campaigns of the MNCs. For example, let us see this NESTLE MAGGI MARKET PROMOTION report at the website afaqs.com. It is published as a news item.

४१२ सभी पालक याचक, गये दावोस, भीक माँगने के लिये

౪౧౨ మన పాలకులందరూ అడుక్కోటానికి దావోస్ వెళ్ళారు.

Davos is a small town in Switzerland.  Here take place, the meetings of the World Economic Forum (W.E.F.).
दावोस् स्विट्जरलांड् में एक छोटा शहर है।  यहा विश्व आर्धिक फोरमं के मीटिंग्स हो रहे है।
దావోస్ స్విట్జర్ లాండ్ లో ఉన్న ఒక చిన్న పట్టణం.  ఇక్కడ ప్రపంచ ఆర్ధిక ఫోరమ్ సమావేశాలు జరుగుతాయి. 

Several Indian rulers and industrialists are attending it, having flown there on special own / chartered planes.
कई भारत पालक भिकारी लोग और उद्योगपती इस समारोह में भाग लेने के लिये प्रत्येक हवाई जहाजों पर आया हुए हैँ।
పలువురు భారతీయ పాలకులు పారిశ్రామిక వేత్తలు ఈ ఫోరం సమావేశాలలో పాల్గొనేటందుకు ప్రత్యేక విమానాలలో, మరియు కిరాయి విమానాలలో వచ్చి పెద్ద ఘరానా హోటళ్ళలో లక్షల కొద్దీ రూపాయలు ఆద్దెలు చెల్లించుకుంటూ, స్విస్ వంటకాల (బహుశా స్త్రీ పురుషుల పొందులు కూడా) రుచులు చూస్తూ ఉంటారు.

Today's classical music
आज के शास्त्रीय संगीत
ఈరోజు శాస్త్రీయ సంగీతం

ViSvambari is a rare South Indian Music (Carnatic Music) parent tune.  Visvam literally means the Cosmos.  ambari means the lady who wears Cosmos as her robes.  The word 'ambar' has another meaning 'sky', but it does not apply here.  In VenkaTamakhi's classification system, ViSvambari's group (mELakarta) No. is 54.  ViSvambari's ascendant is c,c#,e,f#,  g,a#,b,c'.  Descendant is c',b,a#,g, f#,e,c#,c.  This tune (rAg) has no recognition in North Indian Music (HindusthAni Music).  Its identification marks (pakaD or mukhyAnga) are not known.  Here is an attempt by ybrao-a-donkey to present tune ViSvambari in Hindusthani style vilambit, drut, toDe, jhAla model, in tIn tAl.  Refrain for this composition has been started with f# (tIvr madhyam).  ViSvambari may have to be treated as dvi-nishAda tune (tune with two nishAdas) i.e. a# and b.  a# in North Indian Music represents kOmal nishAd.  In CarnATic Music- VenkaTamakhi's classification, all the last rAgAs use both nishAdas i.e. a# and b.  But in all these rAgAs, a# is called shat sriti dhaivatam (A daivatam of 6 sritis) and prounounced as 'da'.  Thus pa-da-ni-sa, actually becomes pa-ni-ni-sa'.  The first ni will be milder and delicate than the second ni.

PurvAnga (Part 1) is same in all Brahma cakra (Creator's cycle) tunes, i.e. dhavaLAmbari, nAma nArAyaNi, pantuvarALi, rAmapriya, gamanaSrama, and viSvambari i.e. c,c#,e,f#. Uttaranga of the ascendant octave (Part 2 of the octave) is same in all the last tunes of all the cycles: tAna rUpiNi, rUpavati, hATakAmbari, varuNapriya, nAgAnandini, calanATa, raghupriya, divyamaNi, viSvambari, nItimati, citrAmbari, rasikapriya, i.e. g,a#,b,c'.

Some people are using the word 'ViSvambhari" with aspirate. 
कुछ लोग विश्वंबरी को विश्वंभरी भी कह रहे है.  
కొందరు దీనిని విశ్వంభరీ అని కూడ అంటున్నారు.

In a way it is also correct.  ViSvam means cosmos, world.  Bhari = person who bears, endures.  ViSvambhari can be a Goddess who bears the entire Universe.

एक मार्ग में, यह भी सच हो सकता है।  क्योंकी, विश्व के अर्ध यह सारा संसार।  भरी माने, भरनीवाली।  विश्वंभरी, एक देवता माई हो सकती है, जिस की कंधों पर सभी विश्व के वजन स्थित हो सकता है।

ఒక విధంగా ఇది కూడ కరక్టే.  ఎఁదుకంటే, విశ్వాన్ని భరించే మాత (ఉంటే) ను, మనం విశ్వంభరి అనచ్చు.  ఆమెనే, ఈరాగ రాగిణిగా, రాగరూపిణిగా మనం సంభావించవచ్చు.  (We can personify the Goddess and visualise her as a form of tune (rAga), rAgiNi (female form of a Rag.  HindusthAni music has such system of male-female rAg rAgiNIs.)

Incomplete.  To be added and edited.  सशेष.  और लिखने का है.  సశేషం.  ఇంకా వ్రాయాల్సింది ఉంది.
