In UAE then, in Tamil Nadu today fuel is transient in all terms

Even a layman knows the properties of fuel 

and its use in converting energy from one form to another. Generally fuel exists in transient form, but it's meaning is also becoming the transient recently.

Technically fuel is something that energises a process by killing itself. Recently fuel is not just kills itself, but also its own source directly or indirectly.

It's quiet known to people how wars are destroying many countries in this world. A few countries such Iraq and Syria are better examples of those destroying countries. It's also known to everyone that fuel is what fuels these wars. That's the first example for the fact that fuel destroys its own source.

The other notable example is the recent protests in the South part of India, in the state Tamil Nadu, where people are protesting against industries that are planning to extract hydrocarbon fuels from farming lands. It may look in a way that India is moving towards an alternative fuel production, but the reality is India is losing its own fuel of development.

Farming has always been the fuel for India's development and national stability. When fuel extraction comes to existence fuel would actually defuel (the act of draining the fuel to prevent it from causing anymore productive work) India's stability. This may cause interval war and may even lead to the destruction of the nation.

It is quite evident that fuel is no more a substance that would be used for production of energy. Instead it would be an agent of self-destruction and source destruction.

Who knows? Tomorrow Oxford may this new definition for fuel as a symbol of mass destruction caused by the fuel in various countries.

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.

Desires that drive us

Our own purpose for living, the motivation to work hard, the inspiration to wake up everyday, the dream that makes us sleep deprived, it is the burning desire inside us that is pumping our heart and driving us. Is it not?

After attending spiritual lectures, watching devotional movies, reading the books by religious leaders and out of personal experiences, I had finally realized the fact that all the miseries in our life were the results of the desires that I had had from the very beginning of my life. The miseries were either the pains that I had to undergo to achieve desire or the side effects that come after achieving the desires.

The recent words from a spiritual leader reiterated the thought that had been reiterated every time after I get what I had desired for, "Nothing comes for free". The ideologies such as "good and bad are bound together", "everything that one experiences currently is the result his previous deeds" also try to explain the corollaries of the one base concept.

Thinking about why desire should even exist, created the chaos in my mind and collapsed the ideologies that I had had on dreams, achievements etc. That chaos finally settled down with the conclusion that desires were always been the driving forces in everyone's life; Desires had made people do great deeds; Desires had revolutionized the world; Desires had brought out the full potential of humans.

Yet, when desires would bring misery with it, why should we even possess it for a  temporary happiness? The answer for that question would probably be the state of people to be unhappy with their present. Humans had always wanted to live a greater life and the only way to live such a life was to have a great desire, because desires had always had the power to pull humans to greater living. The achievement of a desire give us the confidence that everything is possible in the world. It also gives a satisfaction in life.

Then the final question arose. When desires had the power to pull humans to greater living, why had not everyone become greater beings? Why could only a very few achieve milestones though most of us had always had great desires? Did the desires really have that magical pulling power in them? The following example would perhaps bias us towards the belief that desires have the pulling power.

If we desire to have a chocolate, does the desire not pull us towards the chocolate and make us eat it?

The answer for the question about the existence of the pulling power of the desires lies in the type of the desire everyone possesses. There comes the term, which I would like to call as, "Desire Chasing". It means the constant action of redefining the desire based on one or more factors.

Now there are two types of desire chasers: the first type are the people who see the possibility of achieving their desires, move towards it and when their desire is in a closer reach, they extend their desire to a higher level and the second is the type of people who have a desire and when they find a better desire, they give up on the first desire and try to find the possibility for the second and if they find a better desire, they quit the second desire and so on, without moving a step towards any of the desires.

The second type of desire chasers are the people do not have the desire to achieve great deeds, instead they have the desire to have great desires. So ultimately, their desire simply pulls them to have a better desire and once they get a great desire in their mind, their desire makes them find a greater desire and hence they would not be able to achieve anything in their life.

So, we should always be careful on what we desire for and we should also note about the fact that desires are going to bring a greater misery, Hence, we should be ready to face the misery to achieve a greater good. Giving up on a desire just because of the fear about the misery that comes with it, is the most coward behavior anyone could ever have. Of all the desires, the greatest desire is the desire that was possessed by Buddha, i,e,. to not have any desire in life. Hence, let me conclude that being desire-less is the ultimate desire of a human.

Interval in Life

Anger and frustration were residing in her face. It was the same busy road, where we had spent our happy days skipping the buses and walking. Those days came in my mind. Her smile, her hair waving in the wind and her laughs after successfully humiliating me, everything just passed during that angry walk, she took towards me.

Oh! She was literally burning the air around her with her anger. My tears melted and started overflowing from my eyes because of the anger that was radiated from her eyes. Then, she came close to me, close enough to sublime me into human vapour.

I stood there paralysed seeing her eyes and then her mouth uttered a few words. The words traveled for quite a long time in air before reaching me. Time had slowed down considerably. "Why are you waiting here?", we're those words.

"Waiting for you, my dear", I told. Wiping out my tears and pretending as if there was dust in my eyes. "You don't have to wait for me. It's all over between us. Go get a life", she told turning her face away. I controlled everything and started smiling, because that was the most expected answer for me and I could do nothing about it.

When she saw me smiling she said, "Don't look at me that way having lost your rights over me. Never ever call me dear. Don't even call me. Forget me. You're no one to me."

My lower jaw dropped in despair and I had that final smile of hopelessness. I inhaled a lot of air, took some time to recover and told, "there's a proverb that says that no one is perfect and since I'm no one to you, I'm probably perfect to you. What say you?"

She was at the top most height of frustration after hearing that. She didn't wanna face me anymore. She started walking away. I followed. She shouted, "this is why I hate you. You're an idiot. You never understand me. You can never do it. You're in your own world. You can't come back to the reality. You are...." I knew she was out of her words to scold me anymore.

She stopped, turned towards me and continued, "you're... I don't know whom you're. I don't care about that. You had spoilt all my happiness and you're responsible for every worry in my life. Why don't you let me live happily? You can never make me happy. YOU CAN NOT. Please let me live peacefully. Please. You had done enough and I could not bare you anymore."

I could not act anymore. Tears were already on my cheeks. I heart started beating heavily that I could not walk anymore. I stood there still hoping she would turn back at least once to give a last look, but she moved away fast and never turned back.

People crossed me, bikes and cars moved on the road. Everything passed so soon and I stood there hoping she would come back.
