THE FARCE OF DEMOCRACY
THE FARCE OF DEMOCRACY: Prologue: In the year 2000, the flawed Electoral College system in America helped Bush to win presidential election against Gore despite losing popular vote. In the year 2004,during Indian parliamentary election, the Congress party got 26% votes with 145 seats and a small party BSP got 5% votes with only 19 seats proving the fact that the Congress party got far more seats than voting percentage would suggest. In the year 2005, during British parliamentary elections, the Labour party got 35.5 % votes with correspondingly far higher 55.2% seats in parliament. These figures are alarming and therefore I decided to post my comments to focus on this crucial issue. I will discuss democracy/elections in the context of electing people’s representative to public office and not elections in school/college/corporate sector/sporting body etc. Synonyms and Abbreviations: Voter = elector Political party = party Legislative body (legislature) […]
DUALITY OF EXISTENCE
DUALITY OF EXISTENCE _ Prologue: I had posted this comments on face book on 1/1/2010 as my website was not ready but the matter is so important for students that I decided to post it on my website to educate students. _ POSTULATE: Everything in universe that exists, living or non-living, has a dual mode of existence with each mode following a different set of logic/rationale to explain phenomena associated with such existence and the duality is spontaneous ,simultaneous and consistent with the existence of dual universe. _ The universe allegedly came into existence with big bang 13.7 billion years ago with the creation of matter, energy, space and time ; along with laws to regulate them. The Earth, a planet on which we live being a part of solar system with the Sun being the star; and the Sun being a part of our galaxy the Milky Way; and […]
Mathematics of Pi
Pi is defined as the ratio of the circumference of any circle to its diameter. Pi = circumference/diameter. Pi is constant irrespective of the size of the circle. Pi is classified as an irrational number. Pi denotes relationship between a straight line and a curved line of a circle. Pi = 22/7 approximately = 3.14159 approximately. I had calculated Pi way back in 1980 which I am making public today. _ The students can see that only digit 2 is used in formula where n is the maximum natural number. I will give one example. Suppose, n = 5 then, formula will calculate as follows. _ The calculator will calculate this equation as 3.140331156954 _ As n becomes greater and greater in number, Pi value will become as exact as possible. The process will go on and on indefinitely but n can never become infinity. This is a relationship between […]
QUOTABLE QUOTES
THE QUOTABLE QUOTES: I have narrated few conclusions and dictums from my 48 years of experiences from this world as QUOTES for people to know and follow if they wish so. 1) Luck is a sign of imperfection in life.I strive hard to be perfect to eliminate the luck.However,nobody is perfect and therefore everybody needs luck at some time in life. 2) Those who have faith in me,I never let them down, Those who betray me,I make their lives very miserable; Anyway,life is an illusion,death is a reality. 3) I speak neighter of revenge nor forgiveness; Oblivion is the only revenge and the only pardon. 4) It is better to be angry and fulfill your duty,rather than,be sober and neglect your duty. 5) Those who all the time find fault with the character of others;often have loose character themselves. 6) One should never feel very high all the time as […]
MEDICAL NEGLIGENCE AND CONSUMER PROTECTION
MEDICAL PROFESSION VERSUS CONSUMER PROTECTION ACT:(DOCTOR V/S CPA): As a qualified doctor of 20 years experience,I am a better person to comment on this controversial issue.At the outset,I want to say that I deplore CPA and condemn criminal charge of negligence against a doctor. 1)The relationship between a doctor and a patient is a matter of faith and trust and CPA destroys this pious relationship. 2)There was a time when a doctor was considred next to the God because of his ability to relieve human suffering and this respect is destroyed by the notion of a doctor being looked upon as a grocery shop owner who gives treatment in return for money;thanks to CPA. 3)A human body has millions of biological variables and it is impossible for a humanbeing to know,how and why,all these biological variables will interact to produce a disease. 4)The Hippocratic Oath has become irrelevant in 21 […]
