On prostrating

-
Recently I saw a photograph where an office bearer of AIADMK fell flat at the feet of Ms.Jayalalitha to seek her blessings.  The concept of falling at the feet of somebody does not go well with me.  Why should people fall at the feet of somebody?.  After all we are all human beings and all are equal .Why fall at another's feet.?  If at all we should prostrate it should be only before God not anybody else.  If somebody falls at our feet our ego gets bloated. Let us give our ego a go.  Let us change.

CAPITOL CARNAGE OF DEMOCRACY

-
  Right from Nov.3,2020 when the results of the Presidential election started trickling and when President Trump knew that he was on back foot, he started creating problems.   He refused to accept defeat and vowed that there would not be smooth transition of power. All the swing states voted against Trump. Though he had about 75 million popular votes he could not make it. On the other hand Joe Biden had more than 81 million popular votes and also 306 electoral college votes in his favour. Mr. Trump could not digest his defeat. He called the election a fraud. He questioned the postal ballot system. He later questioned   the integrity of the electoral process itself. He refused to accept the people’s verdict. He challenged the election in state after state. He had in fact filed 60 law suits challenging the verdicts in different states.   All the law suits were dismissed. When the Congress convened to formally declare Joe Biden as President on the 7 th Jan 2021 at Capitol Hill, he urged

From Tirupathi to Tirumala we went by Govt. bus. The entire journey was splendid. We thought we would finish Darshan of Balaji within 3 to 4 hours and return to Chennai by evening of 26th. But the Lord had other ideas. We stood in the queue for Rs.300 at 11.10 a.m. Slowly we meandered our way. We went from one shelter to another. No one knew where the queue ended. The shelters had been built in such a way that it takes you around the temple. While standing in the queue we helped ourselves with fruits, biscuits etc. Nobody had lunch except the morning breakfast. As time passed our hunger increased. We went on and on and on. Hours passed. one ,two, three, four ,five, six and so on. Our energy sapped. Hunger increased hunger turned to anger. Words were exchanged as my brother in law who is a diabetic and wh
