What and Why do I avoid?


  1. Meat
    1. Most farmed animals/birds are treated with antibiotics as per law and that creates immunity against antibiotics
    2. Meat messes with the pronunciation  of certain words (Sanskrit chants) which are a bit hard to pronounce. I face difficulty in pronouncing certain words.
    3. Affects my meditation.
    4. Against my principle 'enjoy your life with least harm or hurt to anyone or anything'
    5. A chicken in a lifetime might eat 20 meal worth of beans or food grains but it will hardly serve one or two when it gets killed. Inefficient way of generating food in a world where many die of hunger
    6. more carbon footprint than vegetable meal
    7. It takes 6-7 times more water to cook a meat meal than a vegetarian meal. In world where people are still dying of lack of good drinking water or farmers committing suicide for lack of water, I can contribute passively by preferring a veg meal instead of meat meal.
    8. It costs more money, more water, more carbon footprint, more grains....I simply cannot justify it to myself
      If in future when science advances and takes away all the above associated factors then I will surely consider consuming it. Yes it tastes good but when compared to the proud feeling that you get when you avoid meat for the above mentioned reasons, the taste of meat is nothing.
  2. Alcohol
    1. unhealthy
    2. A liter of  alcoholic beverage costs upto 17 liters of regular water. When all the beings of this world have enough good water for their consumption then I will consider it.
    3. return on investment or what you get out of it after it wears of can be measured in negative numbers. So it takes more from you than it gives (temporarily) in the long run.
  3. Tobacco
    1. unhealathy
    2. affects others and not just me

Reservations and Appeasement: A conspiracy to destroy India

The best way to destroy a country is to make it destroy itself by its own people who feel righteous about themselves when they do it. The western countries like USA and other European countries need talent to drive their countries, corporations forward so that they stay ahead of the curve and this can be achieved only real talent. When in countries like india bring forth laws which will make sure that the important key positions in the government sector are based on discrimination, color, caste, language, creed and origin the real talented youngsters will obviously turn to the private sectors and a lot of these youngsters and talented youth is being grabbed at a high price from many western institutions and corporations like NASA, Google, Microsoft etc., which will only benefit the west and its interests because now we have indians working for western companies and countries in competition with india. It is in the interest of these western countries and private corporati...

I would If I could - 2 - Viral development via Smart Cities

Viral development via Smart Cities example city : bangalore Current disadvantages of cities/smart cities polarization of growth, development Dis connectivity between the residents of city and the rest of the citizens of the country Rise of class system migration of people, talent only towards city causing weaker section of society everywhere except city. talented, efficient people would not want to go to other places than cities due to lack of facilities, growth or development there won't be any growth, development or facilities other than cities due to lack of efficient people in places other than cities and also lack of interest sooner are later cities become seeders and places away from cities become leechers (if you have used bittorrent technology, then you would know) The migration of people to cities will always be higher than the rate of growth or accommodation and capacity of the cities due to the natural tendency of people to migrate to a better place with ...

stackexchange: Are shudras and women not allowed to chant Aum i.e Pranava?

since stackexchange is becoming like reddit and wikipedia where unknown , behind the mask moderators run these sites like dictatorship, I have decided to add answers here. Chanting and reading are different. Vedic Chanting has two parts - Tone and Recitation (Patha). It further has four different tones - Udatta, Anudaatta, Svarita and Deergha Svarita. Pathas are the styles of hymnal recitation. So unless your are are well skilled in these and your pronouncination, enunciation is accurate, you are not supposed to chant. Chanting the same mantras in different way produces different effects, different vibrations. Many a times a slight difference in spacing, intonation, pronounciation, enunciation produces different meanings. So unless you are classically trained to chant these, one shall avoid it but can read them with sound without making a sound, silently. Ex: Many in north india swap va & ba. Ravindranath tagore becomes rabindranath tagore. Many in north india also swap ra & da...
