Popular Bollywood actor Sushant Singh Rajput has allegedly committed a suicide on 14th June, 2020, by the way of hanging himself from the ceiling fan, leaving millions of fans in a state of shock. And 2020 has reached only midway. However, the circumstances surrounding the case point to a possible murder.
The major give away in the case is that there was no stool found in the room, that his dog was not around him and that the height of the bed wouldn’t allow him to commit suicide, given that he himself was also tall.
From the pix released, it comes across as the knee bone of Sushant Singh Rajput has been thrashed and fractured.
While we have known a few such cases in the past, one being of Divya Bharti, I feel that with so much advancement of technology, this case might some day see light.
Struggle is not an issue for most of us, we strive to get a better life and give one to our loved ones as well. Slogging throughout the day, the week and the month to get that amount credited to our bank accounts is not considered a burden, even if it has become one since 2004, when office timings were stretched at both ends and 10 am – 5 pm job became 9 am to 6.30 pm. This stretching on both ends never reduced after that and has only crept into our time reserved for friends and family, gradually.

We never noticed it did. Because we have high aims. Because we love to work on things, on people and on situations. Because we are ready for struggles.
But our enemies wanted us to be unhappy. They still want us to unhappy. Just that the definition of enemy has changed a bit.
We have known invaders coming to our land and looting us for years. Their invasions weren’t limited to just looting money, but destroying our women, our honor and our children too.
Mass massacres of Hindus have been recorded in history, though it’s a different matter that these weren’t taught to us during school in these 70 years of independence nor were these revealed until a few people took the reign in their hands. Thankfully our books are improving now and so is our lifestyle.
While we struggle to gather all facilities for home and hearth, the enemies strive equally hard to snatch that happiness out of our lives at present times too. The only difference is, these present day enemies come in the form of few friends and relatives who constantly speak of negative stuff about Modi govt, as the aim is to create sorrow and inflict negativity on you, on me, on us.

Never was so much of bad mouthing done even for the most corrupt political party of the world, as is being done for an honest, corruption – free Modi govt. Are they doing this to create unrest against the govt?? Yes. Are they doing it to defame Modiji?? Yes. But he’s beyond their reach anyway. So what are the other reasons for them constantly criticising Modiji?? Lets have a look.
As per psychology, a suppressed community becomes weak over generations to put up any fight. A generation “tamed” by boring history revolving around two men and one family hardly bears any interest in knowing history anymore. However, this generation can still remain happy by enjoying within their social media circles. So, the enemy has found a way to inflict sorrow on us by keeping on poisoning these social media circles with constant fake allegations against Modi govt. They’ve done that by placing an enemy inside Modi camp to constantly criticize them. This enemy has pretended to be a saviour of Hindus, but is a wolf in sheep skin. You guessed it right, I’m talking about a certain Swomos, whom I have been opposing and exposing since March 2015.

His plans to create unrest against Modiji began as early as October 2014, as far as I know. I see people giving him benefit of doubt despite his constant attacks on an honest, hardworking Modi govt.
I humbly ask them to read and re-read “The Fall of Troy” and pin the chapter of “The Trojan Horse” on their desks, refrigerators, any place of their choice. Taking one horse of the enemy inside the city of Troy turned the whole of it to ashes. Don’t repeat the mistake of the people of Troy.

They are still standing outside the gates only. But they keep throwing stones and arrows at you everyday. You can let them in by thinking about friendship, relationship, etc. But they will NOT THINK about any of these. They are not thinking about you right now also, while they attack your happiness on a daily basis by constantly attacking the leader you chose twice as Prime Minister of India. They are not respecting that honest man who works 16 hours a day for all of us. They are not even respecting your feelings, your choices and your judgement. They are not even respecting you.
Should you waste your valuable positive energy in convincing them or maintaining relations with them?? Should this cycle of daily allegations and planting doubts in your minds be allowed to continue?? Has this vicious cycle ever ended with your giving daily explanations that you should give further answers and expect this to end?? Is maintaining peace with them only your responsibility and not theirs?? And lastly, Are they worth this much??

For all those miscreants, I ask them to show me how many temples of Vishnugupt Chanakya, Tenali Raman, Brahmarshi Bhrigu, Vashisht Deva, Brahmarshi Angirasa, Brahmarshi Vyas, Maharshi Markand, Adi Shankaracharya exist…?
For all those who are constantly harassing Brahmans, I ask which Brahman got temples and Poojas or even books dedicated to himself, the way Jesus and Mohammed did??
We have a few questions from the previous post, answers to which be found here. Just a small recap of the questions herewith –
Why does he do so? – – – – – – (1)
When he’s being interrogated, the court jester only repeats one sentence ” Present Time’s Present “
What does it mean? – – – – – – (2)
The guards inform the king about this three worded reply of the court jester after two days and the king immediately sets him free and asks for him to be treated with respect.
Why does he order for release of the court jester? – – – – – – – (3)
King Yashodhwaj and his courtiers
King Yashodhwaj was a very intelligent man. He constantly craved for intelligent encounters, for the ones in his court were never enough. Besides, his court didn’t have the most intelligent of men either. That made him all the more worried.
He was also worried about the neighbouring king, King Vardhman, who was one of the wisest men he had heard about and who was dethroned recently. He had planned to send a messenger to King Vardhman, when the news of the latter’s defeat had come. But, there was still hope, for the king was not found dead, yet.
So King Yashodhwaj had his guards look in every corner of the town, in hope of finding the defeated king. Every new face in the town had been taken to the king, probed in the form of riddles and then released in disappointment.
During the contest, when King Yashodhwaj received such a brilliant answer in the form of a poem from the Court Jester, he knew at once that the latter had something to do with King Vardhman. So, he ordered imprisonment for the Jester for two days, so that further search could be carried out in his house and his true identity be dug out. After all, he could be the Senapati’s man spying around in his kingdom! That too roaming around so closely to the king!
During their search on the second day of imprisonment of the court jester, the guards came upon a piece of parchment containing the following message –
——————————————
Priya Raja,
Rajeshwar,
Every evening shall bring the horizon to us,
So full of colors that will last,
Eons though may pass in 24 but,
Not a day without the dewy cast may pass,
Though time is to tear this cloth again,
Time itself only shall mend,
If not the stars, no they can’t, but
Moon shines far enough to this end,
End may near either North or South,
South if it, God forbid, does,
Pray go to the East and never return,
Rolling stones may, at times, become a must,
Ever you shall remain dear and peace me award thus,
So please please do not look for, but only forward,
Endings may few times be beginnings new,
Now, save the little hope we have, won’t you?
To accomplish what deceit has torn, what lays disarrayed.
—————————————–
The above parchment was found lying in the house of the court jester. The parchment was taken to the King, who immediately knew and ordered release of the famous poet Kavi Ritumai, who belonged to the court of King Vardhman and who was their present court jester!
Kavi Ritumai had helped King Vardhman escape and had come here to the kingdom of King Yashodhwaj, to find shelter. He had setup a hut in the corner of the town for himself and arranged a shelter in a cave in the nearby forest for King Vardhman and his 3 year old son. He would meet them every evening and give them supplies. But when he was taunted by the ministers, a day before the contest, he understood that he might be in for trouble. So, he left the parchment at his house in hope that failing to find him at their regular meeting place that evening, the defeated king would come to the town to his house and find it and leave the place for good, as explained and requested in his poem; Ritumai had known that he could be punished.
Upon reading the parchment, King Yashodhwaj understood the acronyms for “Present Time’s Present es Present” and ordered for release of the poet with respect and honor. He not only gave shelter to the wise King Vardhman, but also helped him recapture his throne.

It was a full moon day. The head Guru of the Gurukul, (education centres in ancient India) had decided to go and fetch a rare herb in the nearby forest named Hiranyashringa; this herb grew just once in three years and could be found only on a particular full moon night towards the end of the rainy season. He decided to take his pupils with him to the forest.
Head Guruji with other Gurus and sewaks
The herb grew at a place near a hill which was the den of a few cunning wizards. These wizards had grown various magical trees not only on the hill but also dispersed a few seeds around the forest area. The Guru was aware of this and cautioned the pupils to be on their guard and not pluck any flowers or twigs without his permission. Besides, he wished to train the pupils for fetching herbs for various experiments going ahead, so it was important for them to know how to differentiate between useful and harmful trees. It was risky to take students out at night, but the Guru was a highly accomplished master. He knew his way with woods and with people.
Well after the sunset that night, they began their journey towards the hill. The night air smelled of rare, captivating fragrances as they passed through the woods. The disciples felt like staying there for sometime and keep enjoying the fragrances, such was the magic of that full moon night. However, the Guru asked them not to stop anywhere and follow him.
Forest of Hiranyashringa
As they approached the hill, they heard sounds of hoofs of horses galloping towards them. A few trees, which were very dense and looked very healthy, started shaking and strangely bending completely on one side or the other, as if made of elastic.
Trees planted by cunning wizards
Thunder and lightning struck along with rains, and Guruji told the disciples to follow him under a tree that didn’t have many branches and leaves, instead of taking shelter under the dense trees. They did as ordered. Just then, the sound of galloping grew loudest and a few horses emerged from behind the tall trees. It was a merchant and his men.
Merchant and his men
The merchant bowed in front of the Guru and said, “We have lost way in the jungle. Kindly guide us.”
The Guru asked him to take shelter under a nearby tree which had fewer leaves and branches and to wait till he collected his herbs. The merchant felt uneasy, as he could see those dense trees bending around and saw that they were safer. He looked at Guruji and pleaded, “May we take shelter under those dense trees? They’re full of leaves and will protect us from the rain and the lightning, for if it struck, it would burn the tree and not fall on us through scarcely clad branches, such as the ones of the trees you suggest, Gurudev”
The Guru turned to his disciples and ordered them to answer this. All disciples looked at each other, puzzled, but the disciple nearest to the merchant spoke.
Puzzled Disciples
The disciple said, “Those trees started bending strangely and unpredictably when the thunder and lightning struck. Lightning is known to strike trees. If we stand under those trees, which bend at any time, and the lightning strikes such a tree, it can bend to the other side and leave us to ashes. Such trees, even if dense, must NEVER be trusted with lives.
Hence, our Guruji ordered us to stand under this tree, which may have less leaves, but won’t betray us to the lightning, Mahajan.”
Guruji then spoke to the disciple,”Hey Vidura, you have won my heart again, by not only following my orders, but also understanding what I have not explained. You shall grow to be the wisest in your kingdom.”
Moral: Never trust or be in company of that which bends unpredictably and keeps changing directions.

I have highlighted the most important points with respect to Education issues in the past two articles. In this article, I, in collaboration with a friend who is Certified Career Development Facilitator, shall give a few suggestions for the way forward in seven – point suggestions.
7) Home Schooling – This system must be developed further for those who have enough money only to live in rowdy areas and cannot send their kids to govt schools due to the crowd. This helps in many ways, apart from saving a child from assault, bullying and exposure to obscenity. Home schooling can also be a very effective tool for those who have highly educated, unemployed mothers. This not only saves money, but provides best education to the child for they rightly say, “Mother Is The First Teacher, Mother Is The Best Teacher.”
6) Inclusion Of External Books in All Boards After Authorization From Education Ministry – We’ve seen many external books being used by select schools. These books may contain material which is untrue and thus, give wrong education to your child. Hence, Inclusion of external books should be allowed only after proper verification at three levels and authorization by Education Ministry.
5) Reduce The Weightage Of Marks Given By Schools in Final Boards – This evil must go away at the earliest. Parents must demand this, as otherwise their kids will never know which subjects they are really interested in and how they stand after correct evaluation.
4) Undo UPA educational reforms- It’s crucial to undo all the blunders of UPA and I’m very glad to acknowledge the efforts of Modi govt in this direction. They have efficiently introduced chapters on real life achievers such as Mary Kom, Steve Jobs, Gurukul moral-based learnings and much more in both boards.
3) Selection Of Main Subjects – This should be done when the child turns 10, so that important years of transition to teen age, which brings about a lot of changes in the child, are well utilized in a specific direction of growth and not spread so widely directionless that a grown up individual of 25 doesn’t know whether he should work in medical industry or in metallurgy. This clarity can be achieved by referring to ancient education systems of India.
2) Setting Up/Modification To Talent-based School Boards – This shall help produce highly efficient individuals, as level of education will be higher due to specific goals and not a haywire approach as set by the erstwhile UPA govts. There will be wider scope of employment of Specialists as well as better quality of outputs and thus, a higher GDP for the country.
1) Career Counselling In Schools – This is required to find out the budding talent of the child and thus, direct him in the right field. Parents should willingly come forward to bear the additional cost for this activity as it’ll steer the child towards his brightest prospects.
Please feel free to write any questions under this article and the writer shall respond. She is a Certified Career Development Facilitator, working with Dheya Careers since past three years and has an experience of guiding individuals ranging from 12 to 50 years of age, regarding their career paths. For personal reasons, I have been requested to keep her identity anonymous as of now.

Dear All, I have come across many tweets claiming the below to be STD V CBSE textbook chapter. This is not true.
This book, named ‘Together With English’ by Meera Wadhwa, is an add-on book recommended by few CBSE schools and NOT a COMPULSORY chapter in entire syllabus.
This screenshot comes from an old tweet which was decimated by me back then, from my previous account.
Now let’s see when did this get included as an add-on in few CBSE schools.
This was done in 2013, as per article attached. Yes, for congress propaganda.
In the kingdom of Amravati, King Yashodhwaj was very impressed by the witty Time Tales from the kingdom of Govardhini, which was now destroyed due to betrayal by their Senapati, but till very recently was ruled by King Vardhman.
Taking a decision to hold witty exchanges, King Yashodhwaj once asked his ministers to describe and define time without mentioning nano seconds, seconds, minutes, hours, days, fortnight, weeks, months, years, centuries, millenia and eons.
He also prohibited the usage of words, past, present and future, bad and good. The conditions included that they should use only present tense in all its forms and further announced that if the ministers failed to answer, he’d punish them with d*@th. He asked them to come with an answer within 7 days.
***
The ministers spend their days worrying and would, on several occasions, taunt the others in the palace about their lives being easier than those of the ministers.
One day, while the ministers were passing a corridor, they saw a court jester, who was new to the kingdom and began criticising him.
M1- Why, look at you! Having no worries, living a carefree life!
M2- While we work hard each day to protect the kingdom and give solutions to the king, you hardly have to do anything.
M3- Now don’t stand here staring at us. We have hard day ahead. Go away.
The court jester smiled at them, but didn’t attempt to move. Seeing his calmness, the ministers said a few more bitter words.
The jester now spoke, in a solemn tone, as it was going too far, “Respected Ministers. While you occupy a higher position, I have also a role to play. I make people’s lives better by giving them laughter. However, as you seem incapable of any such emotion, I’d request you to not demotivate me, as I’m new here”
M3- Then learn to pass by with a bowed head instead of looking at us.
M1- He’s too rash. Let him give an answer to the king tomorrow, as it’s the 6th day today. I’ll tell the king that the court jester wants to reply on our behalf.”
All of them laugh and leave.
***
The next day, all gather. Ministers tell the king that the court jester would answer him on their behalf and smirk at each other to have found a way to escape.
The king says to the Court Jester,” Go ahead. Give me the answer. What is time? You must not use any tense but forms of present while answering me or I’ll order them to hang you”
Court jester bows and replies, “Your majesty, Some have spent it liberally, It’s best tracked throughsmiles and tears, Some just whine and blame everything and some have spent it long in fears, It is so agile, that a memory brings it back, and so fragile that a sorrow breaks it into pieces, With youth a shortage though is found, With age its span increases, O King mighty, of the kindest heart, the noblest lineageyou’re of, Yet It’s the only thing which you and I and all beings live or not, get an equal share of. O King, it repeats itself punctually and yet is new with every dawn, Lord you have given them seven, me just one, I thus speak of that which is and yet has gone, O Lord, you have given it and taken it from me all the same, I conclude, with humility all, within the given time frame, Time is its name.”
The King is highly impressed by this outstanding, flawless description and still orders for imprisonment of the court jester for three days.
Why does he do so? – – – – – – (1)
When he’s being interrogated, the court jester only repeats one sentence ” Present Time’s Present “
What does it mean? – – – – – – (2)
The guards inform the king about this three worded reply of the court jester after two days and the king immediately sets him free and asks for him to be treated with respect.
Why does he order for release of the court jester? – – – – – – – (3)

Today’s world has much to offer at the cost of peace, joy and love. Worries are in abundance and nothing ever seems to be sufficient. Everything is insufficient. Well, Almost everything.
We have control on several factors. Control, when exercised well, gives us authority over matter. Control makes us powerful than our surroundings and situations. Control saves.
Saving and controlling go together alongside the journey of life. You control the urge to spend money and you save. When you are in trouble, your unspent money in turn saves you. You control food habits and you save youth and longevity. You control your words and they in turn save your relationships. The last line makes me ponder,, whether it is just the spoken words that are ruining relationships in present times and a control over spoken word can correct things… Or is there something more to it…?
Well, the spoken word has had its importance of making or breaking relationships, but in the present times, spoken words have limited power to change status of relationships, as they are seldom heard.
Differences of opinions are a factor, spoken words have been a big factor in the past and do hold some significance today also, however, the reason behind increasing distances within single household is not just limited to these; these factors play a small role. The major role is played by a constant wish to possess more, to look more forward (that’s what they call it, though it is actually about looking modern), and prove our superiority to our own people in the society.
I have been an extremely competitive person throughout my life and I encourage every productive competition that I come across. However, productive competitions don’t create differences between dear ones; unproductive ones do.
To ensure your child learns and tops exams is a productive competition, to improve yourself in any field and thus produce better goods is productive as well and so are all the activities that utilize time and churn out useful outcomes in the form of goods, services or implementable concepts.
Time is something we note at regular intervals, but we never note how much we’ve spent on unproductive activities. A family member who spends more time on gaining likes on social media is borrowing time from his /her family time reserve. Time well spent in each other’s company brings people together. This time reserve, when emptied, empties feelings, emotions and eventually leads to separations in families.
Time is very, very powerful. Using it to gain joy, knowledge and peace makes one live like a king. Spending it endlessly after gaining praises without putting efforts into any trade brings shortlived joy and long term discontent.
Families can be saved, Relationships can be strengthened if time is managed well. Time, after all, is a non renewable resource, isn’t it?
