Sipra's diary : " STAY FAR, STAY SAFE"..............

  Stay safe,   Stay Far from the crowd.

There was spectacular 'Coronation- celebration' of the young prince of Han dynasty after the sudden death of the mighty  emperor.

 The young prince felt  proud  to be the emperor  by luck. After  having coronation he felt his subjects, soldiers  of  defense  were most benign and obliging to his sublimity.

One day he said boastfully to his minister, " I think all subjects of the empire are respectful as well as afraid of me also [as that of my father],   isn't, minister ?" 

Minister replied ,"that should be apparently, me lord! 

but it seems  to me that even the strongest military  males  obey their wives  as they are afraid of them most!" But noticing the displeased facial expression of the emperor the minister suggested ,

-" let us take a test to become  sanguined of yourself , me lord ."

-" That's a good idea.!" the emperor replied.

The young emperor asked the minister to announce in emergency a mammoth gathering of  all people of his land  to be present at 2:pm, next day. He wanted to take them a  test of bravery and  obedience to the throne !

The minster obeyed the order.

 

Next day the people gathered in the court  with  full of apprehension.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                       

The Minister announced that the emperor wanted to take a test of  bravery as well as their  "loyalty" to the new emperor  and the land. "Now listen carefully:--

1).Those who obey  the emperor  as 'supreme power' ,they must run towards the Riverside as soon as the bell-ring :

2)...The others , [if there is any !] must  go towards the mountain!

   Remember , it is not a fun as sports but  an Obligatory drudgery.          The winner will be awarded for bravery & loyalty.

Now be ready and stand up in the white- marked line."

With the sound of whistle  the mass started running like school kids and crowded on the river side. 

 

The young emperor with bright smiling face began to pamper his own silky beard !

The  riverside crowd cheered  after coming back with slogan,   

'long live our new king '; 'we love and obey  our  king, etc !' 

Each of them were given  half gold-coin and a metal Dragon-badge.

Minister reported the emperor :  ' I see a single man still standing on the opposite  , near the mountain side  alone .'

The minister handed  over his binocular  to the emperor  for verifying.

The emperor looked through with frowned eyebrows.

The court was calm & quite as the huge crowd left, praising the glory of the emperor. 

The man on the mountainside was summoned by the emperor .

He looked  like a skinny short structured  man.   He began to tremble trimendously  before the throne of emperor . 

The  emperor in rage asked him, 

"Why did you go towards mountain?

Aren't you afraid of me?

The man fell down to the feet of emperor crying ; but  replied  ,

"Pardon me  Lord ! 

Before coming to palace,  my wife warned me, 

"listen! never follow the crowd ; deserted place is always safe  to stay ; 

......As the   river-side was crowded,  So  I went to the opposite  side [mountain side], following  my wife's order!"

Sipra's diary: "NEW AGE ENTRAPRENUER">>2026>> [ from my Debut "EYES ARE NOTORIOUS]

 New Age  Entraprenuer.

In the near future 

No wonder will remain as wonder

Wonder will be a norm

Bereft of any “novelty” in form.

 

Myriad of scattered genius all around 

Huddle in an Olympic of intelligentsia,

To create  inundation  or  Inflation of geniuses

To  be wiped  out from the universe!

 

Now it’s time for the Commoners to rise up,

Upon the cemetery of crushed  past

And high tide for the awkward, backward

Who will be promoted to get Nobel Award!

 

There will be tough struggle 

To own the have-nots and disable

 Who will be the precious capital

For investment, in the market  for sale .

 

Very soon the enthusiastic  entraprenuer

May Jump to reign the market 

To cash on the best opportunity  

To crop up artificial disabilities .

 

The world will be over- crowded 

With   deformed crippled human specie !!

Slumdogs are  upgraded: the dream of greedy billionaires

The Hollywood –awarded movie is the eye-opener!

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> 

*' SLUMDOGS ARE BILLIONAIRS' is a nobel-awarded  Hollywood movie made in a slum of Mumbai,India.  But  the director is  American .  The theme of the movie triggared   me to compose this poem.

 

 

 

 

 

Sipra's diary : Poem> "NOTHING"

  

                         Nothing ! 

       To me nothing means no-thing 

       Non-existent, absence of something.

       But the concept of nothing   has been 

       A matter of philosophical debate from ancient time.

 

       The Hindu Scriptures think it in spiritual color;  

       Which is confusing for us : the commoner!

       ‘Nothingness is the ultimate source of knowledge’!

       Beyond which nothing else remains to be known!

       Isn't it enough fussy to pitch us in confusion? 

       Like Shakespeare's Much Ado about Nothing?

       We are so much possessed by our possessions

       Home, car, credit card, cell phone: the  latest lung! 

       The view seems always vague and abstract 

       But not questionable, unless the great scientist

       Einstein, the Nobel-prize winner also supported

       And became himself a great connoisseur !

       Since then "Nothingness" achieved deeper layer,

       Ignorant or innocent gain now the passport  to shelter 

       Under the same canopy with the philosophers ! 

Sipra'sDiary: >>>"Journey From Evolution to Revolution"......................

 A journey from evolution to Revolution.//.     Words=542//   

Window!
It is so fascinating to me; from early childhood; still, have the passion to the same intensity. Whether a train or bus or car or plane if I don't get my seat beside a window, I feel fun of my whole journey is spoilt.
A window is not meant for the only outlet of air or wind, but something more. something meaningful. It gives the exposer of the outer world; for the sick, for the baby and also for the old baby like me. 

Like photographs in a frame it holds a view of the neighbourhood buildings nearby, a piece of sky with various moods and colours in the high and the passers-by on road with incessant running cars.

 When I first came to Manhattan, I spent almost half of the day on the side of this huge glass window of the high-rise building: Horse drawn tourist carts from central park,  bunch of students with back-pack who reminded me very much of my own children; Every day at the same time with the students I used to see flocks of birds in the sky flying from the west towards east; While the students of John Jay and Mount Sinai were going from the east towards west to their college. I watched the birds curiously; The flocks swooped down like  group dancers  guided by some fantastic choreography to some roof on the east. 

I guessed there must be some Indian Gujaratis who kept grains on the  ground or roof regularly .Within 9:30 I noticed the birds again returning towards the west; right towards  the direction they came. from.
The students were on the ground with their unknown soaring dreams, and the birds flying high in search of food on the ground.  Walking students on the road with uncertain future and flying birds on the high with the guarantee of food; 

Just both are in opposite directions with opposite aims!     
Yesterday I felt too sleepy to finish the article "window!" And I lost the flow of thought that was driving me yesterday.

Who innovates window?

 

 Wind +blow, to let free access of wind; amazing idea !

Freedom at random to enjoy the outer world with secured safety;

 Perhaps our ancestors living in caves first needed the idea of a window to keep the family and themselves safe from the enemy and harsh weather. They blocked the opening of the cave with some piece of rock with a little opening on the top to let in free air and light and the sight of the enemy along with the outside world. With the time ancestors crawled out from the cave; then walked, and started marching forward ...how many years ago?..

.
 I am now with a light electronic box on my lap having a window: world wide window, sitting on a cosy revolving chair in an air-conditioned room, browsing Antartica, Amazon, Grand Canyon or Savanna anywhere I wish; just by one click I can survey the vertual globe like a kid's toy. 

Globe has come from table to lap, from lap to palm and from palm to "spectacles" and next?..... From glass to contact lens on the retina of the eye?

....By then I will be in my ethereal body requiring nothing but  to watch my successors enjoying.

Sipra's Diary : " SHIFTING IN THE META-VERSE."

 Title:     Shifting in Meta-verse.   // Words=206 // 

What an alluring opportunity to be shifted 

To a 'parallel universe" of fun and fantasy!

Leaving this monotonous morbid routine-life.

Let me inhale the free air (!) to another prestine place.

 

The planet Mars, is my choice as the scientists assume  

The atmosphere suits for living   creatures!

I prefer to spend the vacation of spring season there,

Neither too cold nor too hot by the scorching sun

But is the spring in Mars is similar 

Like the planet earth,- welcoming to others?

Let us hope so!

 

For meta-verse- journey I must take

 weather-proof cosmic tent,

Two rechargeable i-phones with battery-sets  

Oxygen cylinders for survival 

and i-pad for entertainment,

A sleeping bag to relax,

 some plant seeds tolerant to climate,

A shovel to scatter seeds 

for the expedition of next generation!

For food: pack of fruits, nuts, 

toffee and anti-appetite peels

For identity? I prefer 

both gender in me,- two-in-one,

So that without crisis or gender-conflict 

I can enjoy the fun!

 

Whom should I approach? 

who will provide my spacecraft?

Kudos for billionares  

like Bezo  or Elon Musk, with noble heart!

But it is virtual trip, so I don’t need 

any ticket for  astronaut,

I am the monarch of my ‘Pegasus’ 

for free ride anywhere over universe! 

Sipra Diary: "Emerging Competitors with The Bovine Milk --------" /2026

 EMERGING  COMPETITORS  WITH   THE BOVINE MILK: :NEW SUPER-FOOD!

W= 479 /

 

   Along with some amazing benefits and boons 21 st century hosted us also a plethora of weird and shocking news:  the news of an emerging billion-dollar business which is not only unimaginable  but    ruthlessly unethical. I came to know by reading the article “The new business of breast-feeding” by C.Jung.

The electric breast-pump machine was a boon to the working new mothers who preserved in bottles or in ice-trays in the refrigerator for their own babies.  But now many new mothers who have excess breast-milk which their babies do not need to consume, they sell it at $1-$ 3 per ounce on the sites like onlythebreast.com.

Also some companies come directly to moms to collect and make it more nutritious by adding supplements…a new super-food!!

     Imagine!

Very soon we will see that spick and span hygienic buildings where new moms with excess breast-milk ,sitting in front of electric pump-machine in a row of cubicle  for each ,like any corporate office ,during their  3-months post maternity leave. Outside the building, truck of some big company will be seen  waiting ,with queer poster of human milk instead of the picture of  “horizon” or Brown-cow” etc, etc.

      Like a cartoonist I imagine to sketch some bully rebel herd of cows standing aggressively blocking the entrance-gate  of the “Human-Milk” building in protest of their  emerging rivals………….with the slogan's their  "humba-humba"- voice……

                    "protect our rights: > humba--  humba---”....

 

   In    2013 Affordable Care Act was reformed and intertwined with the Insurance companies to cover the cost of breast-pumps and  as Medela ,a leading manufacturer in the US stepped in,  caused wide-spread use of pumps which in turn fuels the secondary market for human-milk.

 

So long breastfeeding has remained an integral bond between mother and child exclusively, far from the market of raising profit . 

In US law and order is in control of government and people are  health-conscious.  But what about the women of third-world poor countries where average masses are ignorant and flaws of laws are  rampant  to sweep over the "so-called law- and –order”of the country?  

 

The new moms of poor countries  will be  pathetically exploited as  resourceful commodities. Like buffaloes, goats and cows they will be given injection to produce excess breast-milk to raise profit. There may be massive health-hazard to the new moms and future siblings of the new-born babies There is possibility of Sick mothers and crippled or deformed  babies in the poor countries in coming future.

 

In this globalization age   no profitable business will be confined in its place of origin.

 

It is bound to spread globally. Before it happens, I appeal (-but where?),-----yes, to the alter of mass-god , to raise voice in protest  against it on the ground of global ethics.

 

 

There should be some Global Ethics which will hold the power to control and condemn each and every business, and specially with vigil eye  on  any profitable Big- Business.

Sipra's Diary: "ENIGMA OF THE FINANCIAL WORLD "

 

Sipra's Diary :Enigma of the Financial world.

 The financial world is a giant gambling place almost like a casino in Las Vegas. But far more complicated to apprehend, far more fatal. Because it is planned and operated not by any lifeless mechanical machine but by the Frankenstein's brain-in-human and affected the lives of all people in the country; no matter whether people are willing to join or not,, they become 'part 'of the gambling game and not as mere 'viewers' but receivers or victims. 

With the advent of globalization, the after-effect is not limited to one country but affects globally. As it has been a cliche that if the butterfly flutters its wings in one corner of the sky, it may cause a tornado to other parts of the world.
In Casino game, there is an option for the people to choose whether they wish to take risk of playing or sit to enjoy as viewers ..

Financial World strides with pride differently; it is not based on any strict Principles of ethics or scientific method. Perhaps no scientific formula works! The target of the Financial world is only to create wealth. It is not based on the formula of 2 +2 =4. When  2+ ever-oscillating behavioural psychology of customers are added to the power of 2, then the outcome might be 40  or only 0 instead of a' definite 'result of 4. There is no way than to watch patiently for the future.  That is why this zone is very volatile, and uncertain.' Boom and Bust' is their banner; Resembles true character and fate of bubble! This is the tragic paradox where we have to live and survive!

 
In 1950s Carlos Ponzi, an Italian swindler became a billionaire  by following a theory like "Rob Peter, pay Paul ".It became popular as' Ponzi-scheme', not only in the western world but in other parts also proliferated. Multiple bonds of similar type were sold. In India, there were Peerless company, "Sonchoyita", "Sarada'. 'Techno-India'"  Money-Matter, Rose valley and many others, It benefitted the middle-class and low middle class as well as the founders who became a millionaire  in a short period.  But "Sonchoyita' "Sarada "no more exist. They melt down suddenly with scandal. 

Some of the founder father ended life with suicide. Those who were efficient they escaped by changing their skin or colour by swiping money to another field Best way for these swindlers to escape is to align with some non-profit organization, a hospital for destitute, Old Home etc. Peerless is still reigning with prestige by investing in hotel hospital real estate and another philanthropic field.

It  is really confusing to me to understand  the relationship between 'corruption' and the booming economy of a country."

India is rising,"China is rising"!  All the so-called "rising" countries are known as "BRIC" notoriously dishonest and full of criminal activities.
In my limited experience, I noticed that since 2005 the people we knew as 'poor' suddenly climbed a higher economic ladder. Many house-maids in our neighbourhood borrowed money from householder they worked,  for making houses on the land got from the government in the outskirt of the megacity.........

Is the mathematical formula of uprising economy is based on corruption?
