Surreptitious Radical Maniac

One of my friend shared the above image referring to the US. Although most people, across the world talk of US and Americans, I really think they fail to understand Americans. Similar to any other culture or group, Americans are unique too. But, often they are stereotyped in certain manner and showed as 'a quintessential American.' So, I wanted to write about one thing. Freedom.  Outsiders fail to understand the level of ‘freedom’ US has or Americans have it. US is often referred to as a place where one prospers, and it is referred as ' American dream', to come to US and have freedom to do anything. The freedom is absolute without restrictions, but limited by certain things for sure. You don't have the freedom to negatively affect any other person. That's almost a given in any society.  The level of freedom which is available in West is somewhat unfathomable to other societies. When people protest against lockdown in the US, it is seen as stupid. B...

Maybe, I'm getting too lazy to write, and just posting memes/info/quotes. Too lazy to write anymore right now.

An interesting thing. Would love to hear more about this. Any one up for discussion? And, this also shows that USA is actually dealing with the basic issues, making it also a 3rd world country. It's not like it's developed enough to deal effectively. Found another meme too. Not a generalization, but it's kind of funny, and could be true on a surface level.

Using my friend's Amazon account, I bought a cube for my student in the name of a TFI Fellow using my dad's card.  There are 5 individuals involved over here. If this process is extended a bit more, you could see the interconnectedness from one to another.  The other people are the delivery boy, the company Amazon, the company which made the cube, the cardboard box company, the person who packed it, the print label, the computer, internet, the design, the cube itself, the credit card company, the transaction processing company, bank, etc. And, on a broader level, it can be extended to numerous people who are involved in it if delved to 4th level connections. It can also be connected to the next level when the purpose/use of the product is complete. Like, it is recycled, discarded, etc. So, what's happening here? Let's take my initial statement of ordering a cube. A simple result is i n such an interconnected world, my student will get the cube, only if everythin...

Stabilization in the hour of need To understand stabilization, let us contemplate on  destabilization of elected government . It is causing unrest of a governing body of the state.  This is an interesting phenomenon as the case of Madhya Pradesh in 2020, which has similarities with Karnataka in 2019 and Bihar in 2017. Can you destabilize the elected government? Yes, you can. Did it happen before? Of course. Numerous examples across almost all states since independence. So, the question of  'can you do it?'  is answerable with  'yes.'   'Should you do it?'  is what leaders and people have to be concerned about. What is the primary concern of a government? To enact policy, deliver services or keep counting the number of MLAs each morning-afternoon-night (or maybe every second) in their party to ensure the government hasn't succumbed to external or internal forces? Right now, it seems like the only concern is to stay in power and worry abou...
