Partnership With Powerful, Iron Heart and Russia-Ukraine Crisis Part-9

It so happened that I mentioned last year as a tourism year, and it might be good for the same this year as well. Which means, the trip to U.S. might come across as an interesting tour serving the purpose of visiting new places. The last many months drive this point home. Am I solely on a cruise mode in a pleasure trip to a foreign country doing everything in the dreamy wish list? The answer is a big No. I will clear the air in a while with the review. But before that why did I mention the year as tourism year.  

Let me go back few years to 2017 when I made a 5-and-a-half-month trip to U.S. I went above and beyond the ordinary self in a most daunting manner as far as I know in that stint. The crowd downplayed it all and called it a foreign tour in a leisure mode done without job or work. I was not able to take that view but the masked reality or the half-truth is what they deduced out of my expedition to bear with me. So, these rotations to U.S. at that time became leisure foreign tours. It was at least received as such. It might be the correct way to receive something overwhelming and downplay something Himalayan.

Cut the scene to the trip of 2022. This time I visited few more places as well to increase the count and before the crowd come up with deductions, I advertently played myself into their hands by terming the year as tourism year. This, as expected, was received very well by one and all. Let us take comfort in the assertion that it is a good-experience foreign tour indeed. There is another nuance to this fact. While one is to bear with me, the other is to cover me up. I can feel that I am under control and cover of someone else with this assumption. Somewhere I felt there is a value if I downplay the trip myself. Hence the year is brazenly dedicated to tourism to comfort the souls of one and all.

 

This is similar to how I downplay my official work to playing games. I learnt it from crowd as well who feel I am playing a game. I became angry and can’t take it when they rub the game on me but slowly understood the wisdom behind this attribution. When the truth is overwhelming and overpowering, take residence in half-truths and falsehoods. For instance, if I say I am working on geo-political levers to the advantage of home and foreign nations, it becomes too much for them. If I say I am in a foreign tour, visiting public places, it becomes bearable, spreads like virus and received well by one and all.

In a way, to tell the real picture, I still cannot take it if anyone call it a tourism year. Let me sell other side of story here as well. Let us go back and look at the state of my being and state of my mind in the last year. Simply, I feel I am living with a heart made up of steel and brain made up of iron during most of the time. Such is the level of danger I plied with very frequently. Every other day, I repeat every other day I feel like I am in a danger zone. People call the outcome of such a work as ‘Amazing’ but don’t bother about the risk it poses in the daily routines. Every now and then, you feel bothered about the heart and brain. You are in a war within or taking risk which has become quite frequent these days. I became fed up of this and thinking of taking a challenge to live off the edge. We look at what happened in front of the screen but ignore what went behind the scenes in the making of it. You can see my dance but don’t see I am dancing over fire. I still feel I am a super man living with an iron heart and steely brain enclosed in an athletic frame, running with no end in sight. My tourism year came in this setting and backdrop. Going through these regular inner upheavals, I posed a bright external picture and went to as many places. I can downplay this as nothing but let us know the truth as well.

The reason behind visiting so many places is I would like to engage in a continuous activity loop and keep myself busy. We should all be good, responsible citizens with a top-notch standard of work and the bigger picture in mind. The big picture being how we are contributing towards or serving the country. We can serve the country with a rigorous and active work ethic in our own domain. I can say I served one and all by being extremely active.  

In addition, we need to put ourselves in the role of a President or Prime-minister and move the nation. There is a need for every citizen to forge a partnership with the ruling establishment and take the country ahead collectively. The authority and the citizens cannot live in isolation but in harmonious union for a progressive union of states. It is important for the citizens to live in partnership with the rulers at all levels to lead towards desired destination. It's important to note that a partnership with the President is not limited to government officials or organizations. Citizens, private sector leaders, non-profit organizations, and community groups can also form partnerships with the President to achieve common goals and make a positive impact on the country. This could include areas such as economic development, education, healthcare, or environmental protection. The partnership could also involve collaborating on legislative initiatives, providing support for the President's initiatives, or working together to address challenges facing the country.

 

We should work in a way to shape the policies, framework and decision making by the leaders in a fruitful way. Leaders react as per the citizens and the citizens need to be in good standing to derive good leadership. A good partnership will put the country as a whole on good track. A good partnership from the bottom to the top will improve the economy, employment, education, environment and healthcare, leading to a robust, strong nation. We all are collectively accountable for the nation and its progress and not just handful of individuals. I forged one such partnership with the establishment with a good, active work ethic. A collection of individuals is a nation, and one individual can act as a catalyst to the entire nation. Thus no one need to underestimate our individual potential.

 

How is the country doing with all the individual efforts. The U.S. is faring very well, and we can tell it by just looking at one parameter. There are 10 million new jobs which have been added since the current President took over. I am a beneficiary of this wave as I came to U.S. on a job for the first time in four attempts. Everyone is working hard and creating lot of jobs. The result - there is the fastest job growth at any point of any president in all of American history. Everyone who wants to work is getting a job, and everyone is working. When all these working-age individuals are working, it partners beautifully with the executive and heralds a stronger nation with great future. It feels good to contribute and serve the nation positively by forging meaningful partnerships with an active lifestyle. The means towards this end might be any – including visiting places, writing blogs etc.

I had long stopped updating about Russia-Ukraine crisis. If we look at the present day, the conflict is still continuing for 10 months. We would like to ask why an extremist Putin took an extreme decision and bring upon havoc on Ukraine and Russian soldiers. An extremist has a lot of blood on his hands and to re-iterate Putin is responsible for a number of deaths in the bloody war. It is only correct that there is a better outcome for the countries after suffering so many causalities. It has been noted that nearly 1 lakh Russian soldiers died and a similarly large number of Ukraine soldiers, civilians have perished. There has to be a reason and cause for which they have died. The international fraternity should see to it that the death, destruction in these countries do not go in vain. The countries need to immediately stop the war, rise from the ashes, build better leadership through good partnership and re-invent the nations once again. This is the direction and destination which should be followed and reached. Otherwise, the war has no meaning, and the death has no meaning. From the tomb of perished should rise the better nations of tomorrow. Every one of us should see that it happens.
