Dasara festivities.... No spunk...

Dasara festivities in our home is turning more mechanical with every passing year.

1) Keep books, pens for pooje.
2) prepare huggi
3) these days, no new clothes for dasara, only for deepavali.

With the arrival of Daughter in law, who doesn't respect or follow customs, it becomes a pain to continue the rituals that we've been running for decades now.

No point blaming, as clashes between thoughts & generations are common.
Any debates turns clumsy, uglier... Worse leads to tears on festival-day.

This turns up to be a common complaint of my generation.
These youngsters, who claim to"change the world, won't even clean up their beds"..

So, it is time thrift, pluck, honesty is imbibed in then, but how?

Happy dasara...

The Politically Incorrect Guide to Socialism (Politically Incorrect Guides) - my review to Amazon India

Absolutely kickass book.
Kevin Williamson must be honoured for writing this book, which tears into the socialist thinking, ingrained into most of Indian Subcontinent.
His lucid explanations on why Socialism & Communism are essentially scams that hinder upliftment of masses.

Chapter 4 on India is like a scalpel that cuts thru sensible Indian heart. It broke my heart, my hero first premier Nehru left us this Socialist Setup - a cancerous mechanism, which have cursed us into poverty, low-productivity and low self-esteem.

Reading this book & Sanjeev Sablok's Breaking Free of Nehru are like a rude wakeup call to give up whatever I held sacred all my life.

Heck, this book is never a minute too late to finish up.

Now, I'm committed to read Bastiat, Mises, Friedman (bought Free to Choose), Hazlit & Hayek.

Well, this book has kindled interest in economics for me at this old-age.
