Thoughts In A Wandering Mind

It was simply beyond comprehension to understand the drastic war which began in middle East. While everyone was taken aback by the unilateral aggression of Russia over Ukraine, this attack by the Hamas terrorists over Israel defied any sense of sanity. How come you provoke a strong opponent by killing scores of people unilaterally in a one-sided aggression without expecting retaliation. This senseless maneuver is beyond comprehension and what we are seeing now is the aftermath of the cowardly attack. As with Russia, the burning question remains - what provoked and who provoked the Hamas to venture into the meaningless war. It's a trap for death, destruction and they went straight into it. What are the circumstances which instigated the Hamas to take such a decision. To venture into a war is an extreme step and the world needs to look at it with disdain while taking a middle path away from this extremist mindset. In the middle of nowhere, these terrorists have ventured into this ext...

I would like to once again ride on the cycle of getting back what you give. I would like to give good health to U.S. and get back the same in return. Let me delve into how it is the case. I have been at war with myself over the past 18 months in U.S. working in one domain – health care.

Know that, despite spending 20% of GDP on healthcare since the turn of this century, the services are inaccessible to all, health of citizens is poor, immunity is substandard, and a little-known virus killed 1.1 million people in the country in the last few years during the pandemic. It exposed the ...

Let me delve on the cycle of getting back what you give. It is about helping someone and receiving back help in some other form or reaping what you sow. I have already mentioned it a few times in this space and there is nothing wrong in recollecting good sequences. Back in India, there are good opportunities to render this seva or help and by nature I am all for uplifting the underprivileged. This used to be a regular activity back then and there is a pause in this routine. In a way, rendering of structured help from one section to the other is very good practice and needs to be encouraged. It cultivates oneness and inclusion in society. Even before reaching U.S. I used to teach kids in public schools and other similar places which used to be a good vocation. In a way, the poor and underprivileged need to be shown pathways and avenues to get better and come on par with the rest of society. There needs to be humane actions from everyone with a knack to serve to effectuate this ch...
