Indian Republic Day and National Flag could mean Conservation of Natural Resources

The tricolor might warn us about natural resource depletion

This Republic Day (26-01-2017) is a very important day in the Indian history, because too many movements are rising with the youngsters coming together to preserve the native cow breeds for quality milk and the natural resources such as water, land, forests etc, for a better living. Though there has been a few controversies related to the Republic Day this year, it would still be known as an arising day in the history.

The movements might have made the Republic Day as a day to remember about the depletion of natural resources today, but looking deep into the Indian national flag creates a feel that the designer of the flag has already warned us about this with the colors that he had chosen. The tricolor in our flag could probably mean a little more than what they literally mean. The different colors in the flag may mean different resources that are being exploited in our country.

Saffron could symbolize the native soil

The first color of the flag, saffron, which is said mean valour and courage. In native languages, courage and valour are directly referred to the soil as in "Veeram vilaindha mann" in Tamil.

So, the saffron color in the flag might actually warn us about the land depletion due to various reasons and remind us to preserve them. The depletion of soil due to synthetic fertilizers and pesticides and the illegal constructions could have been embedded on the saffron color.

White might mean milk

The white that is said to mean peace and purity, might be indicating the pure milk from the native cows. It is also to be noted that cows are the symbols of peace in many of the native languages.

The recent protest to lift the ban on jallikattu actually spoke about the purity of milk from the native breeds of the milk (purity here means the healthy milk).

Green means the greenery

Green as mentioned it is said is mentioning the greenery. The agriculture and the forest resources, which are the main sources of food and oxygen are getting exploited due to deforestation, illegal construction and exotic methods of farming.

The green color in the flag reminds us about the green resources, which are the most valuable resources of India and warns us about the after effects of the depletion of these resources in India such as pollution, food scarcity etc.

Blue circle may mean the water cycle

The value added service provided by the national flag, the blue Ashoka Chakra, which is said to mean the progress of the nation and the truth might actually mean the water cycle, which helps us in the development of the nation in terms of farming, industrial growth and hydro-electricity (and other domestic applications).

Water preservation has been taken as one of the motto of the youngsters, who has united for a cause today.

There could be other serious messages and warnings behind the national symbols of India. The whole idea is based on the visible relations between the flag and natural resources, and the assumptions arrived from the relations. Whatever could be the reason, when Indians should remember the mass movements when the flag is being hosted during the Republic Days in the future.

The Zen philosophy says, "God's existence doesn't matter"

Buddhism stands distinct among the wisdom-seeking religions of India (the religions that update their philosophies based on everyday questioning and learning), because it questions all blind-faiths, which includes the existence of God. Buddhists know that Buddha is not a God, who had had infinite powers to create the world or save humanity from evils or the one who protects the world. Instead they believe that Buddha is a preacher of pure wisdom.

The Zen Buddhists today have a better peace, clarity, tolerance and acceptance towards all religious people and the atheists is because, the existence of God doesn't matter to them anymore. The reason for their such conclusion could be well explained by taking the following scenarios:

1. If God exists and he's impartial to everyone in the universe, then there is no use in praying him for the improvement of one's life, because prayers won't make anyone special.

2. If God exists and he's poised towards good people, prayers would not help anyone attain any benefits from the God more than what he has earned by his good deeds.

3. If God exists and he's poised towards bad people, no matter how much prayer one does, he would be given the benefits on his bad deeds.

4. If God exists and he is poised towards flattery, earning benefits by pure flattery would question their honesty and self-respect. Hence it is simply a choice to sacrifice one benefit for another.

5. If God is a form of good force that drives the universe, then even the prayers are driven by the force and hence that would not alter the after effects.

6. If God does not exist, one's prayers and wishes reach no one. So their life would still be dependant on their own deeds.

When all the possibilities conclude that wishing for a benefit through prayers does not make anyone's life better, there is no need for anyone to pray to God to fulfill a wish. As every possibility suggests that the present deed would influence the future, the Zen Buddhists are acceptant and tolerant to everyone's opinions.

How Tamil people are about to inspire Oxford to include new definitions in their glossary

English is one of the commonly spoken languages around the globe, but English is taking a lot of its words and definitions from other languages. The recently added 'Aiyo', which is derived from Tamil is a good example of that. Within a few months from that word is added, Tamil people are inspiring Oxford to add one more definition for an already existing word in English. Before knowing about the word, let us look at the background of how they are inspiring the world today.

The recent past has not been so good for the Tamil Nadu state people. The mysteries behind the death of their CM, the Vardah storm, the take-over of the state governance by inexperienced people and finally the ban on Jallikattu have shaken the deepest part of heart of the people. These incidents made them awaken and take up the state responsibilities of the states, i.e., to share their experience, feelings, terms and conditions etc. on social networking applications such as Facebook and Whatsapp.

The ruling party in the center is happy about the support from the opposition parties and media, which twist the news in a way that people of Tamil Nadu use those words in the most creative way to spread hatred, which in turn is helping the Skill India movement of the center that focuses on bringing out the talent from the citizens of the nation in a productive way.

The youths have understood that they should move on from newspapers and public interviews of the ministers and rely more on what is being currently trending on Facebook and Whatsapp. This saves a lot of time in showing their creative talents such as content writing, meme creation etc. It is not wrong to tell the world that Tamil Nadu people are miles ahead in this type of innovations and they are about to start professional training centers in how to capture news from these reliable sources (timelines of friends, whatsapp status and messages, memes from other pages, anonymous blogs, stories based on assumptions etc.) and make it into a improvised statement within seconds.

That is not all they could do within a short period of time. To show their true potential, they had created a new use case for the phrase, 'reliable-source'. So, the Oxford might soon add a new word to its glossary called 'reliable-source', which would mean "any source that does not take the responsibility of the data they provide, which could probably be a hoax, assumption based on real real incidents, a twisted version of the real story, based on false facts or any other form of nonsense".

Let us take a moment to bow at all the people who had worked hard and still working for Oxford to do the same.

Smartphones in Chennai got short-circuited as tears from Facebook overflew due to the excessive use of sad smiley and reaction in the past months

People went mad on Samsung again as a few models started burning yesterday. Before any complaint was made officially, people started to realise that not only Samsung but other smartphones that include flagship models, Iphones and Windows phones.

Seeing this abnormal behaviors of the smartphones, several NGOs and other non-profit people welfare clubs came together to fight mitigate people from this disaster. The NGOs collected funds for this disaster relief, a few short films portraying the misery faced by common people due to this disaster were used to promote the awareness about the phone burning throughout the world. Supporting this move, Facebook was planning to release a button to mark people safe after the phone burn disaster.

As people around the world (who weren't the victims of this disaster) got to know about it, they started trending #weAreWithYou, #letsFightTheDisasterTogether, #PhoneBurns etc. on Facebook with sad smileys to show their support and world unity, but after they posted this on Facebook their phones also started burning. Though the phones got burned, the hashtags trended and caught the attention of Mark Zuckerberg, who was at his office during that time. Eventually he found his systems too failing, but due to redundant machines, everything recovered at his office.

The media questioned Facebook for being responsible for the #phoneBurn disaster, which originated from Chennai yesterday and spread throughout the world. The analytics team from Facebook headquarters finally found out that the excessive use of sad smileys and reactions in the recent past in Chennai while they were feeding their feelings for the sufferings of their CM, her death, the Vardah storm aftermath etc. had filled the Facebook water tanks with their tears. Before Facebook could dispose those tears off, another disaster, popularly knows as #msdStepsDown stroke them badly that sad reactions and smileys  arrived in just like flash floods and made the tears overflew from Facebook app.

As everyone had known (at least after 3 idiots movie), salt water is a great conductor of electricity. Hence it short-circuited the motherboard of the smartphone, which in turn made the phone to burn.

The CEOs of popular technological companies such as Google, Apple, Microsoft, Facebook etc. arranged for an emergency meeting yesterday night at the UNO headquarters to discuss about the mitigation plans and future advancements in order to avoid such disasters in the future. At the end of the meeting, they all signed a treaty to build a waterproof protocol for apps like Facebook (where people shed their tears frequently) to use so that there wouldn't be any further leak of tears into the circuits of the smartphones.

Government has planned to provide polyethylene bags to the affected people in order to use it till the waterproof protocol comes to market. The affected people reach your nearby government office, fill a form, attach the proof with it and get your bag for protection of your phones temporarily.
