China's loss is not India's gain (27th April 2020)

Indian government was expecting that an Anti-China emotion around the globe will actually help us and companies who are planning to move out of China will come to India. That means COVID-19 will help us in becoming Manufacturing hub of the world.

Though, I never liked the idea of becoming manufacturing hub, because this essentially means you are outsourcing the pollution of developed countries and in long run ruining our future generations. China is a master in deception, still whatever the studies we have come across, they have paid a huge price to become manufacturing destination in Pre-COVID world.

However, given the economic scenario, if that happens, it's good for India to face some challenging times approaching us.

But, now the news is, India is not the priority for these companies. Companies who are moving out of China are going to Vietnam, Taiwan, Thailand, Indonesia and other developing countries and not India.

Why?

Bureaucracy, Ease of doing business Ranks, Unrest in Civil society, our Preparation, Infrastructure, Technology etc.

The Corona Threat (20-Mar-2020)

Whenever I pay 1 extra rupee for a #Mask or #Sanitizer, I hate #Capitalism even more. Whoever considers this situation as a business opportunity, is sick to the core.

Corona threat, for me, is just a reminder that nature is the ultimate boss. All the development, Technology, & anything which can be bought by Money are so fragile and momentary.

Whoever is reading this, most probably already has lost significant savings in the Stocks, Mutual Funds, etc. And if the hypothesis is to be believed each and every human being will get affected by this Virus and "Natural Selection" will choose who lives and who does not. In short, every individual life will get hampered by a being that is so small that it can not be seen by naked eyes.

They say #Vegetarians are better equipped biologically to tackle this. I am a vegetarian but this does not give me a cushion of comfort. However, I am indeed happy for better eating habits developed. We, humans, are so obsessed with Human-centric mindset that everything else existing on this planet is to serve us, and only "We are here for some noble purpose". Every life is equally important, be it human life or an ant or Cockroach.

This moment has revived my old belief that "The most beautiful thing about life is life itself."

HOW DANGEROUS IS CORONA?

What is the fatality rate of Corona Infection cases ?

3 % ... 4% ... this is what they are telling you right?

If I look at the data available at this time at (Worldometer) on 2nd April 2020 @ 5:00 PM . There are total of 9,50,639 confirmed cases , out of which 48,289 are confirmed deaths . This means total death percentage is roughly 5%.

But is this the true figure ?

In this 9,50,639 cases,Active cases are 6,99,719 .Who in the world can predict that how many of these people will recover or will be dead?

This confirmed death figure of 48,289 is out of the closed cases which are 2,50,920 . In this number, 2,02,631 people have recovered and remaining 48,289 are dead. So the actual Death % straight away jumps to 19.23%

Now, as we will practically not have any medicine for Corona for almost one year (USATODAY) and Corona virus kills its infected victim in almost 20 days. It is easy to conclude that in next 20 days , which will be 22 April , we will have at least another additional 1,34,346 death worldwide out of the 6,99,719 Active cases. Remember, this does not include a single new case we will have after 5:00 PM on 2nd April 2020.

This also does not consider the fact that Corona Virus reappears in 14 % of the patients who have been discharged. (INDIATIMES)


Following list shows the percentage of the deaths in closed cases and predicts country wise deaths out of the Active cases. Important to note that in country like UK, recovery % is very low and death rate is very high, almost 95 % , and in country like Germany where death rate is 4.7 % , which means though UK have 26,000 Active cases and Germany have 58,000 , number of deaths in UK are going to be much much more than Germany. If we follow our Calculation method , USA will have have 78,688 deaths in next 20 days , even if we don't find a single new case.

In countries like India , it is extremely tough to predict anything based on the data available on account of number of the identified cases have been very low. This could be sign of impact of early lockdown of the country or we have failed to identify the actual cases as of now. If ,Unfortunately, India also reaches to those figures where USA, Italy or Spain have reached , the % of death cases will go up from current 28% , simply because we are absolutely incapable to handle medical emergency of this volume. Hey and what about those regular patients whose beds have been taken over by Corona patients? How will we count collateral damage to the patients who are suffering from other diseases ? Heart Attacks and Brain  haemorrhage , how will we deal with the situation where every ICU bed is occupied by Corona patients ?

Have not we started hearing people committing suicide because they find Corona Symptoms in themselves ? (AMARUJALA)

Haven't people have started choosing death over financial difficulties in coming times?(INDIATIMES ) 

Yes , it has been said , written and told thousand times by thousand people, but believe me this crises is capable to damage every single thing Humanity has achieved in the past decades .We don't know how will we react if economic crises worsens and stretches.What if resources are not free flowing?

What if China is actually responsible to start this and we see a million deaths ? Isn't World War 3 on the table?

Government or God ?(07-11-2019)

Which 'G' is more dangerous? Which statement is hashtag#safer "I don't believe in God" or "I don't love my country"? God does not bother me much nowadays. People, once in a while, do try to convince me of its idiotic existence but they are manageable. They have mostly stopped killing us, as they were doing all these years of bloody history. But how do you deal with those who are killing, dying for a geographical entity temporary in nature? Millions died for USSR, where is hashtag#USSR now? We are born & from the first day, we are brainwashed to love a small piece of the planet, called a hashtag#nation . Why you need a nation? Why can't I love this whole world and not a specific country? Why our presence in other 'Nations" require approvals of some hashtag#Political idiots? Why Visa? Why I am expected to die for the love of this geographical identity? I am hashtag#life, a living organism, why we have become a hashtag#political and hashtag#social entity nothing else? I am an independent life & I genuinely think hashtag#Democracy or hashtag#Monarchy or any form of political arrangement which is to dictate or rule others is absolutely shit. I did not choose any idiot to decide about my life. I did not choose to pay hashtag#Taxes. You know Black Mirror? I feel like "hashtag#Bing" of 15 million merits. Anupam S Shlok hashtag#Anupamism

मैं राष्ट्रगान पर खड़ा नहीं होता।(30-Oct-2019)

छोटों को मां बाप के पैर छूने ही चाहिए, ये सम्मान का प्रतीक है। पर अगर वो नही छूते तो पड़ोसियों को हक़ नहीं मिल जाता उन्हें पीटने का। आप अपनी इच्छा से भारतीय नहीं बने, कोई भी अपनी इच्छा से अपनी पसंद की जगह पैदा नहीं होता। आप किसी भी एक Random जगह पैदा हो जाते हो, और उस देश की सरकारें आपको उस देश से प्यार करने के लिए ,जान देने के लिए तैयार करती हैं। ना वो देश आपका चुनाव था, न उस देश में चलने वाले कानून आपने चुने थे। पर समाज को सुचारू रूप से चलाने के लिए ये जरूरी है कि लोग एक विचारधारा को ही मानें। हालांकि इस समाज का हिस्सा बनना भी आपका चुनाव नही था। राष्ट्गान मुझे एक तो आधा समझ नहीं आता , दूसरा मुझे लगता है वो काफी खराब लिखा गया है। उतना ही ख़राब जितने रामायण के कुछ श्लोक, क़ुरान की कुछ आयतें, या बाइबिल के कुछ वर्स लिखे गए है।अब आप जबरदस्ती मुझे मारपीट कर कहेंगे, कि नही इसका सम्मान करो इसपे खड़े हो जाओ तो हो सकता है में डर के आपकी बात मान लूँ , पर आप मेरे विचार को मेरे अंदर से कैसे निकालेंगे। पंजाब , सिंध, गुजरात , मराठा... ये "सिंध" कहाँ पड़ता है बे....? इन ठेठ राष्ट्रवादियों से कहो कि पहले सिंध भारत में मिला लें उसके बाद हम अर्बन नक्सलो को धमकाए राष्ट्र के चिन्हों के सम्मान के लिए। अग़र राष्टवाद के नाम पे राष्ट्रगान थोपना सही है, तो तमिलनाडु पर हिंदी थोपा जाना, बिहारिओं को मराठी के लिए पीटा जाना भी सही है। Anupam S Shlok hashtag#Anupamism

Delhi ka Darinda (31-Oct-2019)

Oh, we all hated that allegedly pervert hashtag#Saravjeet. That guy who supposedly hashtag#sexually abused this innocent college going girl at a public place. This 'brave' girl somehow clicked his photograph & posted on Fb to expose his bad intentions. Surprisingly, the judge, after 4 years of continuous hate towards him, found him "hashtag#NotGuilty". Crime against women is a shame for a civilized society but do you have any clue how many crimes registered of that nature are hashtag#fake? A simple google search will tell you that, in an endeavor to make this Society "Equal" we are pulling Male down. I personally know at least 10 women who have divorced husbands for various reasons but to make husband's life vulnerable, registered dowry case against them, obviously to claim huge alimony. Do you know how many Rape cases are actually fake? Dear women, you understand this that consensual sex which does not reach to marriage is not always rape by man, you know that right? Do you watch hashtag#BigBoss? This fraud feminist Debolina, scared of strongest contestant Siddharth Shukla, threatening to use hashtag#MeToo against him. I mean, is she the only woman thinks that way? Haven't we all faced this at least once in life? I hashtag#respect women but only those who deserve it. Anupam S Shlok hashtag#Anupamism

ये प्यार भी कितना प्यारा होता है ना (3/Sep/2019)

Recording of an old poem

by - Anupam S Shlok

Hard Work is overrated (29-08-2019)

#HardWork has been an overrated concept for so long. If Hard work ensures success, who has done more hard work than farmers historically? And the same farmer tops the list of the professionals committing suicide.

If success means becoming a celebrity and giving interviews, there is no formula to achieve that. People who teach you a formula of success are conning you and more importantly conning themselves.

Society randomly picks celebrities. Some 1000 years ago, philosophers were the biggest celebrities. Do you know the name of a single philosopher today?

Imagine a guy from 19th century visits us today and gets to know that Cricketers are the biggest celebrities today or movie stars.

Believe me, you have no tool to reach success. You don't choose success, success chooses you.

Benjamin Andrew Strokes (26-Aug-2019)

Recently delivered one of the greatest ODI innings in World Cup Finals.

Yesterday played one of the greatest Test innings in the Ashes.

It is not long ago when this guy was arrested, people treated him like a villain, he wasn't sure if he would be part of the World cup team.

Within a span of a couple of months, he has turned out to be one of the finest cricketing heroes not only for English Fans but cricket lovers in general.

People who have watched his both of the innings would agree that whatever he is delivering is not only because of his skills but something unexplainable, I call it "favorable Randomness" & people call it #Destiny.

Success is that #Randomness. You have similar skills & determination but suddenly everything starts working for you as if someone is scripting your success story.

I often say this "You don't choose success, success chooses you."

Is Inclusiveness a threat for Sanatana Dharma ? (25-Aug-2019)

I was visiting #Ramnagar for the first time in 10 years when it started raining. I had no place to go so I chose to take shelter in a nearby #Vishnu Temple next to a #Sai Temple.

The only other person to give me the company was an old Pandit Ji.

As usual,as a notorious student of comparative #Religions, noticing the 'pratishthith" statue of #GuruNanak, I asked him,"Sikhs chose to throw Lord Vishnu's statue from Golden Temple in the year 1910 citing we are a separate identity & not #Hindus than why we are worshipping Guru Nanak in a Vishnu Temple"

He answered me this "Lord #Hanuman took birth at least 12000 years ago & Sai Baba, whose real name most probably is Chand miyan existed mere 100 years ago. Still, in the neighboring temple, you will find a statue of Hanuman worshipping Sai. Now, most of the people visit Sai Baba & not this temple. #Inclusiveness is the very nature of this Culture. Either you crib about everything you think is corruption or accept everyone & make them our own."

"But isn't this a threat for #Sanatana Dharma." I counter questioned?

"We are here for 5000 years & going strong in similar ways, who else has survived for so long?"He had a point.

He gave me prasad, I came out of the temple, I am not sure if it was still raining?
