Why is Trump not Conceding

  •  The subject of this blog post is Why is Trump not Conceding?
  • It is a reason which is bothering a lot of people.
  • I will say Trump is not conceding because there is no one above him.
  • In 2008 George Bush conceded because that was the end of road for him.
  • No person in United States can stay as President beyond eight years or two terms.
  • For the case of Hillary Clinton in 2016, there was Barack Obama above her who asked her to concede.
  • Not only that he asked to call Trump as well which she did probably to congratulate him.
  • Now Trump is the President of the United States and is only a one term President.
  • He has still one term to go.
  • There is no one in Republican Party or elsewhere who can direct him what to do.
  • If allegations about him being a Putin puppet is true, then he probably listens to Putin.
  • And Putin probably wants him to stay put till the very end.
  • And that is what is happening.
  • Trump is unwilling to leave office for "Sleepy Joe".
  • I will say "Sleepy Joe" is apt word to describe Joe Biden because when you listen to him he likes "puts you to sleep".
  • I will say it is not Joe who is sleepy but the fact that his speeches can put you the listener and audience to sleep.
  • Trump is also unwilling to leave office to Kamala Harris as he is anti-woman.
  • He defeated Hillary Clinton after a nasty fight in 2016.
  • Hillary loved to play the woman card, in fact some say she played it too much.
  • Kamala Harris can do well not to play the woman card too much.
  • But, Trump has probably no option and sooner or later he has to "give in".
  • I mean slowly the realisation is creeping that he may have to concede.
  • He will slowly realise that he was being "used".
  • Some people used him to achieve their narrow political ends and now he has been let off.
  • He must be feeling like (pardon my words) a "whore".
  • Trump went after women throughout his life and must have used a lot of "whores".
  • Now he is being treated as one.
  • Yes Mr Trump reality bites and bites hard.
  • Years of going after career politicians has had its repurcussions.
  • Can you imagine Mr.Trump, if those career politicians gang up and get rid of you.
  • It will be very simple after what you are doing and what happened, namely the Election results.
  • And if you are prosecuted for your actions later, you will become ineligible to run for office again.
  • Think about it.
  • Everyone just ganged up on you.
  • If that was not enough they brought a "fake pandemic" just to get rid of you.
  • They are powerful people, and they want to get rid of you Mr Trump.

Hillary : The Fourth Episode

  • This post is titled "Hillary : The Fourth Episode"
  • Yes people I have completed watching the fourth and last episode in the series "Hillary" which is based on the life story of Hillary Clinton.
  • I will say the fourth episode is the most important episode in the series.
  • Fourth episode brings to conclusion the story of Hillary Clinton.
  • Basically the fourth episode plugs the gaps.
  • We know Hillary was the First Lady when Bill Clinton was President.
  • What did she do after that?
  • The fourth episode plugs the gaps.
  • What I observed from fourth episode I will try to list out below:
    • Hillary became Senator from New York.
    • In fact when 9-11 happened, Hillary was a Senator from New York.
    • Maybe she was aware that 9-11 was an insider job maybe she wasn't.
    • Compared to Bill Clinton who used to work only with Democrats, Hillary worked with a wide spectrum of leaders across the board.
    • She says she is particularly grateful to George W Bush who gave 20 billion Dollars to New York upon request by Hillary to rebuild New York's economy after 9-11 attacks.
    • In 2008, she lost to Barack Obama as experts point out she was too "insulated" and was not very "open" like Obama was.
    • But she was happy for Obama she says in the documentary.
    • She said that people were not willing to accept a woman as President. The fact that a black man became President was good enough for her.
    • Then she became Secretary of State and she loved the position as she got to travel 112 countries and logged more than 957,000 miles of travel in the process.
    • In fact she wanted to travel to places where there were no visit by Secretary of State ever.
    • She visited Pakistan six times.
    • Also visited Belarus and Yemen.
    • But she angered Putin and that was a mistake according to experts.
    • George Bush had said that when you look to Putin eyes you can see his soul. Hillary said you see Putin eyes and you see a KGB agent. 
    • Following that Putin said Hillary had no brain.
    • Hillary actively pursued "regime change" in Russia. Elections held in Fall 2011 in Russia were not free and fair according to Hillary.
    • That encouraged "dissenters" in Russia to protest.
    • Putin then called Hillary as she was the one encouraging "riots".
    • Putin knew she was extremely smart and so he made efforts to ignore her and hence backed Trump as Trump was like a Putin puppet a fact which Trump denied during the Presidential debates.
    • Even in Benghazi where an US Ambassador and two more American people lost their lives, Hillary was called to answer, she says she is no more responsible than she is for other Ambassadors as there are 270 US ambassadors across the world and she cant be held personally accountable for their actions.
    • The US Ambassador traveled to Benghazi on his own accord.
    • I thought maybe Russia or paid mercenaries organized the attack at benghazi, we will never know.
    • Libya was war torn anyway, particularly due to Hillary one of the chief architect and organizers of so called "Arab Spring", who knows who attacked.
    • She had to leave office of Secretary of State in 2013.
    • And her legacy was marred by Benghazi attack.
    • She also decided that she would run for President in 2016 after Obama
    • She thought it would be a cakewalk and she could become President by thumping majority.
  • But then the results were out and Hillary lost to Trump.
  • That was saddest day of her life probably.
  • Even while watching the episode I felt like crying.
  • But then Obama called Hillary and asked her to concede.
  • Hillary said she would do it the next day and she did but before that she had to call Trump which she must have done.
  • That was the end of journey for her.
  • She says and the episode shows that her actions opened the path for women around the world including United States.
  • She says there were now more US Senators and women running for public office than there ever were in United States.
  • And there were six Democratic women Presidential contenders for 2020.
  • A lot of that credit goes to Hillary.
  • Hillary's punchline was "Women's right are human rights" a fact which was followed around the world.
  • She had said the same in 1995 where there was a huge multi-nation Human Rights related event attended by hundreds of delegates from around the world held in China.
  • The speech she gave there has been followed by women around the world as Testament and Template for women's rights.
  • Copies of her speech in 1995 were made into booklet and distributed around the world.
  • She opened the path for a lot of women and that is her achievement.

Modi Journey of a Common Man, Hillary

  •  Watched two series as mentioned above:
  • Modi Journey of a Common Man
    • This was watched partly on ErosNow and partly on Airtel XStream App
    • I had joined Erosnow for a year by paying Rs399 in February 2020.
    • Then I accidentally deleted the account
    • Now I am unable to access  the account which I had joined using mobile number.
    • I can login using Email ID but it is basic account.
    • So I had to resort to Airtel Xstream and as I am a customer of Airtel, I have free access to Airtel XStream.
    • Well the series is an effort in "whitewashing Modi's character"
    • It is like "The Least of These" movie which was based on Graham Staines killing.
    • It seems the Sangh Parivaar have done no wrong ever.
    • Anything bad has happened, no one from Bajrang Dal, VHP or RSS is ever involved.
    • That is shown in the series.
    • Modi is shown to be a Godly person and whatever he does is for welfare of people.
    • The series has shown several flashbacks to Modi's youth from where he draws "inspiration".
    • It seems Rath Yatra which Advani did was Modi's idea is shown. 
    • I had seen a video where it was shown wherever Rath went there were riots and people died.
    • The Indian flag hoising at Lal Chowk in Srinagar was also Modi's idea. 
    • It is shown Modi is a friend of Muslims. Why? Because 2000 died instead of 20000 in 2002  Gujarat riots.
    • Season 1 has seven episodes and Season 2 has three episodes.
    • Outside India this series is available on Amazon Prime Video.
  • Hillary
    • I have bought recently Tata Sky Binge Plus Box (Tata Sky Binge Plus)
    • Along with the box came subscription for various Apps including Sony Liv.
    • I was browsing through Sony Liv and I came across Hillary series.
    • This four part series documents the life of Hillary Clinton.
    • It is very real and shows life and struggle of Hillary from childhood till the time she loses to Donald Trump.
    • It is shown that she is "one of a kind". It is very real. I mean that is who she really is.
    • Compared to Modi series where he is projected as Godman, Hillary is real.
    • No actors are used and Bill Clinton and various aides of Hillary speak on the life and times of Hillary.
    • It is a very intense experience to watch and we cant help and appreciate Hillary Clinton.
    • I am yet to finish the last episode of the series, the fourth one.
    • I have a feeling US people lost a lot as Hillary Clinton could have been the first woman President of US.
    • Instead once they had to settle with Barack Obama in 2008 and next time in 2016 with Donald Trump.
    • US people never know what they lost.
    • A white woman could be President.
    • But now if something happens to Joe Biden, they have to contend with Kamala Harris.
    • But one thing is clear, even in 2016, Barack Obama was clear and Hillary Vice President running mate was clear that Trump is a fascist and it is dangerous whom Trump represents.
    • The people that Trump represents get empowered when Trump is in power and that is dangerous.
    • Trump then becomes a symbol or figure and not a leader actually.
    • Same they have shown in beginning of fourth episode.

Solution to Acidity

  • People this blog post is titled "Solution to Acidity"
  • People I have found solution to acidity problem without medicines.
  • And that is having "warm water"
  • I am personally using Prestige Kettle
  • This helps in warming water.
  • This I realised around middle of last month when I had throat pain.
  • I contacted Doctor and he told me to do gargling with warm water with salt thrice a day.
  • Also I shifted to drinking warm water.
  • I know it is a vicious circle.
  • People those who have acidity may find warm water itself causes acidity.
  • But please do it.
  • Once you start your body will adjust to warm water.
  • And once your body is adjusted to warm water do not shift back to cold or normal water.
  • Keep drinking water, warm water regularly.
  • Do not drink more than two glasses of 250 ml at a time.
  • One glass should be enough.
  • Over the course of a day, 24 hours, you should drink 2.5 liters to 3 liters of water.
  • That is what the Doctor advise.
  • And contrary to popular belief, quantity of water to drink is not linked to body weight.
  • I mean whether you are 65 kgs or 135 kgs you should aim to drink 2.5 to 3 liters of water in a day.
  • And if you eat chicken or meat or fish you should drink one or two glasses extra but at a time you should not drink more than two glasses of 250 ml of warm water at a time.
  • Water will aid in digestion and there will be no acidity.
  • How to use Kettle?
    • You take normal water in a glass and pour it in the kettle.
    • Then switch it on and listen to the bubbling sound.
    • Once you hear the sound you wait for 2 or three seconds in case of single glass of 250 ml and then pour it a drink it.
    • If you have put two glasses then you wait for 5 to seven seconds with bubbling sound, then it is warm.
    • The aim is not to make it too hot.
    • In  kettle by default the water will go to boiling and the shut itself down (auto-off).
    • The aim is to save power and stop it before it goes to boiling and just consume it while it is warm.
  • Earlier also I used to drink water from kettle and I used to look at clock, more specifically second dial, 15 seconds for 250 ml, 25 seconds for 500 ml and 45 seconds to 1 minute for 1 liter.
  • If you drink more water at a time like 1 liter or four glasses as some Whatsapp forward suggest, ultimately you will not be able to sustain it. And your body is to blame.
  • And the habit will wane.
  • Thus drink not more than two glasses of 250 ml at a time.
  • That is sustainable and never let go of the habit.
  • Wherever you go the kettle should go with you.
  • That is my advice.

Chicken Eaters are Deadliest

  • This post is titled "Chicken Eaters are Deadliest"
  • People this refers to September 2020 when I had gone to buy Chicken and more specifically Country Chicken from a shop.
  • I saw while broiler chicken (live bird) are priced Rs 140 a kilo, country or "desi" chicken are priced Rs 400 a kilo.
  • I ordered a bird and it cost me Rs 500.
  • While the person was busy cleaning it, I saw the cages.
  • In that shop, country chicken was placed on top of broiler ones.
  • And country chicken was very aggressive.
  • When the broiler chicken's head touched its feet, it saw the chicken, like it bent its head to look at it and then attacked it.
  • Assistant in that shop was looking at it as I was looking.
  • Then I thought this is how "cock-fights" must have emerged.
  • People must have seen the aggressive nature of "Desi" or country chickens in cages and then used them in a "ring".
  • Then there are allegations are that razors would be fitted to the feet of the chickens and the it would be bloody battle.
  • And people would have bet money and started betting money on each "cock fighter".
  • Mind you the fate of these chickens would be slaughter anyway.
  • They are just there in the cages waiting for a customer like me to walk in place the order and the shopkeeper would just slaughter them.
  • So there is no harm in the cock fights.
  • We should not include the rights of chickens in "animal rights".
  • Cock fights should not be banned and should rather be encouraged.
  • Surely if we have no objection to killing them and eating them, a fight is a simple thing to do.
  • But the subject of this post is "chicken eaters" are deadliest.
  • Apart from the aggressive nature of desi or country chickens, why we should assume those who eat chicken are deadliest.
  • Reason 1:-
    • Those who eat chicken tend to eat bones or at least chew on them.
    • Chicken bone being soft, I personally swallow them.
    • Difficult to do the same to fish bones or other animal bones which we tend to throw away.
  • Reason 2:-
    • In a function of say 200 people if chicken is served we may need to slaughter at least 100 chickens for food.
    • Whereas if mutton is served, not more than 5 or 6 goats may be needed.
    • Or if beef then only one cow or buffalo perhaps.
    • So chicken eaters treat life with disdain.
    • Just like we assume all human beings are equal (so say all religions no matter what the Caste system says), we must assume all animal lives matter whether goat or bull or chicken or pig.
  • Reason 3:-
    • If instead of Halal meat Jhatka meat is used, then it is easier to cull a lot of chickens.
    • And Jhatka killing is a particularly harsh way of killing where the head of chicken is slaughtered in one swift movement.
    • Halaal meat implies a small cut then the chicken struggles till it dies. They usually put it inside a drum.
    • Jhatka meat is more possible for chicken then goat as it would be difficult to cut the head of the goat in one swift movement.
  • Reason 4:-
    • Chicken is devoid of controversy. Means no religions have objection on people consuming it.
    • So people who consume chicken go about it unabashedly.
    • While those who have mutton or beef may have only on special days or festivals.
    • A chicken eater can "look forward" to having "an endless supply of meat".
    • His days and nights would be "consumed by the love and craving of consuming meat"
  • Thus, think about it. There may be more reasons but I cannot recollect at this moment.
  • The way forward is to consume any meat or anything in moderation.
  • By the way I have began or restarted consuming chicken once more.
  • I had Chicken Kabab or pakoda last week and hence what I had stated earlier that I will not consume chicken directly is rescinded.
  • Whatever I said was not written in stone and hence it is flexible, debatable and amenable.

Mirzapur Season 2, Paatallok

  • Completed watching Mirzapur Season 2 and now beginning to watch Paatallok
  • Both series are there on Amazon Prime Video.
  • We have to appeciate Amazon and Prime Video.
  • How they have come from United States and established themselves in India.
  • Their products available on website are procured from the remotest corners of India.
  • Like places we have not heard of ever.
  • Similarly series which they are making is also based in remote districts of India the kind we have never heard. 
  • But they are of extreme high quality and worth watching.
  • I completed watching Mirzapur Season 2 and cannot wait for Season 3.
  • Towards the end we find Guddu becomes King of Mirzapur.
  • Kaleen Bhaiya is saved by Sharad Shukla.
  • Now the million dollar question is whether Munna will survive.
  • I do not think the makers will show Munna returning back as he was shot not only by Guddu but by Golu also at point blank range direct to heart.
  • Let us see.
  • Now coming to Paatallok, the series is set in New Delhi and from there it spreads around.
  • Mirzapur series was set in Mirzapur and then it spread around and could manage to reach Lucknow and Bihar in Season 2.
  • Maybe Season 3 they will show Delhi or West Bengal and/or Bangladesh who knows.
  • But Mirzapur is clearly fiction we can know that.
  • But Paatallok looks and feels real.
  • Looks like that is how news channels work.
  • And I have only watched till Episode 3 and already Paatallok has taken to deep part of Punjab and to Chitrakoot distict in UP.
  • One main thing we can notice is the Caste system.
  • That is endemic in India in any part of the country we go to particularly in rural and semi-urban areas.
  • I can also vouch for that.
  • People may not speak in front of you but caste is endemic in India.
  • They know what is your caste and hence deal with you accordingly.
  • Once they get to know you they want to know more of you and important thing is that they learn what caste you belong to.
  • Maybe in very big cities people may not notice it but fact is people know about it in big cities as well.
  • But in big cities work drags on inspite of caste but in smaller towns and villages work may stop.
  • This series Paatallok is an eye opener in that sense.

Chicken causes Acidity

  •  People the tile of this blog post is "Chicken causes Acidity"
  • Acidity also called "heartburn" feels like a burning sensation inside.
  • Acidity is also called "acid reflux" happens when the body is unable to digest something.
  • It is also known as Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD)
  • Now there are medicines to solve them.
  • I had acidity because I was drinking tea with tea masala.
  • Another fact to remember is that you should never have tea directly.
  • Always have a glass of water before having tea.
  • Certain items can also cause acidity.
  • I was having tea masala with tea and banana chips.
  • This banana chips can cause acidity as well.
  • Hence it is important to watch what you eat.
  • Another thing that can cause acidity is chicken.
  • Yes people the white meat - red meat debate is the biggest lie you have ever heard.
  • I believe humans can digest red meat more easily because that is who we are
  • Humans are not made of stars or mud but rather they are made of meat and more particularly red meat.
  • So humans can eat and digest red meat more easily.
  • White meat is basically from chicken and it is difficult to digest.
  • Chicken causes acidity.
  • And like in my case Not only tea with tea masala but also having McDonalds Chicken burger and aerated drinks prov ed a fatal combination.
  • Soft drinks with gas can also cause acidity.
  • It is best to avoid soft drinks.
  • When tea caused acidity, I moved to Amul Cool milk and that was very sweet and it gave rise to diabetes.
  • That diabetes made my speech slurry and I was slipping to diabetes coma and when the blood sugar level exceeded 600 I was admitted to hospital and I was in ICU for three nights. That was on October 2.
  • Now since October 20 I am taking Insulin once a day to keep blood sugar levels in check. 
  • Initially after discharge from hospital in October 6 I was not taking Insulin.
  • Then the blood sugar level began to increase again and was touching 400.
  • So I began taking Insulin.
  • Independent to taking insulin, after I recovered twice I had chicken and I felt acidity.
  • Acidity is basically like a "burning sensation" inside.
  • Before being diagnosed with diabetes, I had acidity and I tried a lot of medicines.
  • I tried Eno, doesn't work. I tried Sompraz D40, did not work. I tried Pantop 40 and it did work.
  • Even during discharge from hospital, the doctor there told if you have biryani you should have "Pan".
  • Pan is not the Indian dish, but rather Pan-40 or Pantop-40, not much difference between the two.
  • Thus Pan 40 can reduce acidity and in my case  it works.
  • Then I thought why bother and eliminate the source itself.
  • And so I have decided to stop consuming chicken
  • I mean I will not have chicken directly but I can have the gravy.
  • I will not have chicken pieces or bones but I can have the briyani flavoured rice which is called Khuskha.
  • I will continue having red meat and fish and prawn but no chicken please.
  • I will have eggs. Having eggs is not a problem with meat.
  • Eggs are a different category altogether. They are not white meat or red meat.
  • I can also have vegeterian dishes no problem with that.
  • Eggs also don't cause acidity like I have observed in my case.
  • It is a new beginning in my life.
  • For the rest of my life there would be no chicken in my diet.
  • No chicken pieces at least.
  • I may have chicken flavored items.
  • Let us see how long it will last.
  • It will be tough. Especially having Chinese will be tough.
  • Chinese food does not taste good if it is vegetarian.
