Uncle Sam is everywhere in the World. As usual Yankee Nation supported the Military Junta in Bolivia and displaced Mr. Evo Morales its Leftist President, on the ground of Election Fraud. Today, Mr. Donald Trump, the President of USA himself seems to have become an Election Fraud by forcing Ukrain to initiate an investigation against Mr. Trump's likely rival Mr. Joe Biden, Former Vice President of USA. In 2016 American Presidential Election also, there are allegations that Russia meddled in American Presidential Election, to promote Mr. Trump.

Strange are the Ways of the World.

■TELANGANA STATE ROAD TRANSPORT CORPORATION (TSRTC) EMPLOYEE STRIKE FAILURE, ybrao-a-donkey's some personal views ♞:
1. People of Telangana should visit States like Bihar which have nearly extinct State-run Bus Services. They will know that those States are virtual Hells. Many of those States are ruled by BJP which trumpets to make India a 5 Trillion Dollar Economy.
2. Telangana People and the TSRTC Employees have to learn lessons from worshipping a Tyrant like K. Chandrasekhara Rao electing him as Chief Minister. Most Indians believe in "Karma" [in the meaning of (particularly negative meaning) of effects of past actions]. While as an atheist and Marxist I cannot mention about sanchita karma (accumulated past acts from previous births) , I am sure that negative effects of this birth's past acts are, to be sometimes, suffered. In Capitalist System there is no hard-and-fast rule such as the "person who committed the acts (doer)" should suffer the negative effects. Even innocent people can suffer.
3. TSRTC Employees, before going on strike have not made adequate preparations for a "long-term-painful-battle". For example, the Unions should have sufficient funds to supply provisions (groceries such as rice, lentils) to the striking workers. They should have built sufficient reserves to pay subsistence to workers for pay for electricity bills, cooking gas refills, minimal school fees, etc. etc. Staying Capacity, Persisting Capacity will decide the Survival and Success of a Strike.
4. Public Sector Employees and Private Sector Organised Employees have a tendency to fight only for their benefits. There are great disparities between salaries of "Organised Labor" and "Unorganised Labor". While a Public Sector Driver gets about Rs.30-40 thousand, a Private Sector Driver hardly gets Rs. 10,000 p.m. While a Public Sector Teacher gets Rs. 40,000 p.m. on an average, a Private Sector Teacher hardly gets Rs. 8,000 p.m. While a Public Sector Bank employee gets Rs. 40,000/- p.m. on an average, a Private Bank Employee hardly gets Rs. 12,000/-. These disparities build envies and jealousies between the Workers who do the same work in Organised and Unorganised Sectors.
5. Public Sector Unions, and Organised Private Sector Unions have to carry along with them the Unemployed and the Unorganised Labor with them, convince them about Unity of All Working Class, fight for their Survival also, so that they do not run for Public Sector and Organised Labor jobs when the later go on strikes. Organised Labor Unions have a Social Responsibility and Synergic Need to carry along Unemployed and Unorganised Labor with them.

TODAY'S BHARTRUHARI:

■sringara SATAKAM OF BHARTRUHARI: WAYFARERS CANNOT MOVE, why? ♞:

♛Upari ghanam ghana pATalam,
tiryag girayO api nartita mayUraha,
Kshitir api kandala davaLA,
drishTim pathikaha kva pAtayati.♝

♛GIST: The poet discusses the problem of wayfarers who do not have lovers at hand . The wayfarers suffer because of clouds, mushrooms and peacocks. If the wayfarer looks upwards, the clouds mesmerise him to long for his (wayfarer's) beloved. If the wayfarer looks at level (foreward, backward, sidewards) there are peacocks dancing with myrth. If the wayfarer looks downwards, the mushrooms with their peculiar smell bewitch him. Thus, he cannot move without having his beloved, on his side.♝

TODAY'S EPISODE FROM VYASA MAHABHARATA ENGL. TRANSL.: :

■VYASA MAHABHARATA TRANSLATED BY Ganguli, BOOK3, BOOK OF FOREST/m03164.♞:

♛The Mahabharata, Book 3: Vana Parva: Tirtha-yatra Parva♝


♛Vaisampayana said, "Then when the night had been spent, Dhananjaya, together with his brothers, paid homage unto Yudhishthira the just.♝

♛ And, O Bharata, at this moment, proceeding from the celestials there arose mighty and tremendous sounds of a musical instrument, and the rattling of car-wheels, and the tolling of bells.♝

♛ And there at all the beasts and beasts of prey and birds emitted separate cries.♝

♛ And from all sides in cars resplendent as the sun, hosts of Gandharvas and Apsaras began to follow that represser of foes, the lord of the celestials.♝

♛ And ascending a car yoked with steeds, decorated with burnished gold, and roaring like clouds, that king of the celestials, Purandara blazing in beauty came unto the Parthas.♝

♛ And having arrived (at that place), he of a thousand eyes descended from his car.♝

♛ And as soon as Yudhishthira the just saw that high-souled one, he together with his brothers, approached that graceful king of the immortals.♝

♛ And in accordance with the ordinance that generous one duly worshipped him of immeasurable soul, in consequence with his dignity.♝

♛ And then Dhananjaya possessed of prowess, having bowed down unto Purandara, stood before the lord of the celestials in humble guise, like unto a servant.♝

♛ And seeing the sinless Dhananjaya having ascetic merit, bearing clotted hair, stand in humility before the lord of celestials, Yudhishthira, the son of Kunti; of great energy, smelt (the crown) of his head.♝

♛ And beholding Phalguna (in that attitude), he was exceedingly glad; and by worshipping the king of the celestials, he experienced the highest bliss.♝

♛ Then unto that strongminded monarch, swimming in felicity, the intelligent lord of the celestials, Purandara, spake, saying, you shalt rule the earth, O Pandava, Blessed be thou! Do thou, O Kunti's son, again repair unto Kamyaka.♝

♛"That learned man who for a year leading the Brahmacharya mode of life, subduing his senses and observing vows, peruseth with rapt attention this meeting of SAKRA (INDRA) with the Pandavas, liveth a hundred years free from disturbances, and enjoying happiness.♝
