Correctness in Nimeity

To ward off political correctness as an unnecessity would be a blunder in the part of a rational being. Power at hand must be used to protect the one who is the utmost need of it, be that any form of identity. However, here is a thing about power, people don't give it up that easy. I usually dive into feminism when I speak of this issue. The need for equal opportunities for women was morally a very strong argument, and by no means could have been defeated. Only that power was never given to females to put forth their demand. it was only when people saw it as a political obligation and of course some rebellion, the change began to happen. What was expected next was that the movement would spread itself empowering women all over, but sadly that was not achieved. The struggle for equality remained the same, and the additional attention, power and control was hijacked by certain pockets of the movement (the feminazi) thereby derailing the process.

This has been true to most cases where reservations have been imposed. Only the aware and the sly manage to have the biggest pie. And sadly this comes at the cost of ones who actually deserved it. More sinister still is that the creamy layer keeps it a point to always have a stratum of its own men in a deprived state so that they can keep crying about the state of affairs. On the other side of the argument, every time politics wins in the battle against merit, we create a new deprived. I believe this circle of entrapped injustice can only be countered by awareness.

Awareness (not the certified education) is a process of realising one's present status and agreeing to work on it. Raising awareness is much different than levelling out differences at a dependant stage, it is making the structure from the grassroots. And in the present day, the grassroots are not that inaccessible. so instead of shallow look at the statistics and artificial measures to level it up, we need to focus on the truth and origin of the data. Political correctness is a must, but it must be applied to the place where it empowers people to have a better life.

Election afterthoughts

The unfolding of the Indian election might have come as a surprise to many, for one is the BJP who steamrolled the campaign seasons with slogans of "400 par". While it remains 240 seats popular in a house of 520 members, a few stories should not go unnoticed. First, the BJP's popularity and the win for a third term is no ordinary feat. Only a few leaders of the past have managed such an elusive feat. This, indeed, is the trust that the brand Modi has built over the years. In politics, we often get acclimatized to the situations, in certain aspects too critical of it. When the young generation looked at Indira Gandhi's cabinet, they vowed never to again let such a solid mandate to a single party that its chief could declare an emergency, and no structures would be able to prevent that. This, however, ended up in fragmented colours in the Lok Sabha, the era of coalitions and surprise prime ministers. Needless to say, the horse-trading of MPs and the mindless corruption

The Gems on Coursera

I found myself in a rare situation this April. Had things stuck to their schedule, I would have completed my graduation curriculum and would have been ticking off any college goer's dream check-list, which did include a few travel and adventure. But, the situation as of 2020 has a different story to tell. With no end to this quarantine insight, the check-list became an impossibility.  So I took the Coursera COVID offer for colleges and started my odyssey to various areas of studies, my mechanical engineering syllabi had prevented me from. So without much ado, here are the "Gems" on the courses platform, each one must give a shot at.  Model Thinking This course gives an unusual approach to what we have accepted as complex socio-political phenomena. With simple logical and mathematical principle, Prof. Scott E. Page recreates results which have puzzled global leaders. He argues that this approach to reality is a must for all in this 21st century, and I could not agree mo

Behind the Tonight Show

Jerry Seinfeld phrased it out most concisely when he said, " The talk all around the comedy bars was who was going to take over 'The Tonight Show' after Johnny Carson. Never did anyone expect he would pack the show and take it with him". Jerry has a massive sitcom to boast about, but he never could be a 'Tonight Show host. So let's look into what happened to Tonight's show. Johnny Carson was the best comic of his age and only natural that he would take over the Tonight show, America's biggest talk show. With his calibre, he put the show to its prime. David Letterman, a young, engaging host, was given a new 'Late Show' to train under Carson's guidance. However, one ambitious comic, Jay Leno, had eyes on that coveted seat. So in 1991, Leno's manager planted a story in the media on how NBC was planning to replace Carson with Leno. This came as a shock and humiliation to Carson, who quit the show hastily. Meanwhile, NBC wanted to avoid part
