The Myth of Independence - Edward Raghul

While celebrating our Independence day, many will upload status, and stories on their social media and express their patriotism in all possible ways. They are proud of their India and its rich heritage, of course, it is true and they are not faking their feelings. But, what if they commercialize these feelings?? The product will be the best if it's made in India at an affordable price. That's why Jio hits up like anything. Ambani keeps a step up by advertising it with the Corporate Manager of India, Narendra Modi which made the common people think it's a product of the government. Even I, without more exposure at that time to current affairs, thought like that. Also, the companies like " Unilever" were  renamed " Hindustan Unilever Limited ", "General Motors" "Hindustan Motors", and much more...... Even "Boat" company, which business hiked as it is an Indian Product, has many Chinese investors.      

Parents are Over-Glorified - Edward Raghul

" It is not enough to love the children; they must be aware that they are loved" Nowadays the suicide rates among the age group of 10-25 keep on increasing for consecutive years. People with chronic pain, mental illness, traumatic stress/depression, loss/fear of loss, socially isolated, and feeling like they are a burden to others are more prone to commit suicide. These symptoms are extreme that a person with severe hardship alone can choose the option called suicide. But how a small child of age 10-25 can choose to disappear from his/her life as they have not seen the main problem yet and just trying to? But the result is just the opposite of our assumption. The only contact a child has is their parents and to a certain extent, siblings, and close relatives. So we can conclude that the parents-children relationship isn't good, they are not qualified enough to do so. But our society just keeps on glorifying parents which are even more toxic. Are parents are re

The Unspoken Politics of Tirumala Tirupati Devasthanams - Edward Raghul

                     Om Namo Venkatesaya!            Where there is a demand; there starts politics! Tirumala, being a famous temple in the world with 80,000 pilgrims (approx.) visiting per day needs efficient management and skillful brains to facilitate those crowds quickly. It's not an easy task too because, via Vendi Vakili (Silver Entrance), the maximum capacity per hour is 5,000 pilgrims. If we took 16 hours only we can make each 80,000 pilgrims enter the temple but the temple opens only 20 hours and also many rituals have to be done.                      Vendi Vakili, Tirumala  The pilgrims have to wait more than 15 hours in waiting compartments (so-called " Vaikuntam queue complex"). Also, the Devasthanam allows the pilgrims to pre-book their darshan slots which get booked so soon (within a quarter-hour even). The people who missed to book and also the pilgrims who aren't fast enough to book have to wait in line for 15 hours.  So, this situation leads to Bribes

RJ Balaji and his Branding - Edward Raghul

RJ Balaji has a multi-faced profile to define him. Once he was on Radio as RJ, does Cricket commentary, Did a podcast on Spotify, was a comedian, an anchor, and a writer cum director. Whatever he does, he is the emblem of the work. Right from kid to granny, if they know the show is led by RJ Balaji, they participate in the show without any second thought. Apart from that, he developed a reputation on his name, he followed a good strategy to sell his product and made himself a brand. What's that, let's discuss! RJ Balaji as a Radio Jockey  He addresses many current affairs and his opinion on the issues too in the radio so sarcastically. Usually, people facing hardships due to politicians have a bitter side on them as they can't openly get down into protest as it may draw a huge question mark into their lives. When someone sarcastically makes fun of and belittles politicians and those who create the problem, gain some sort of respect and support among common p

Its all matter of love - Edward Raghul

A non-famous but hardcore rationalist, a memer Reshma Rathi once said, "stop being rationale and start romanticising". When the question "why" is asked to her regarding the statement, she told, reasoning everything made her to feel depressed and frustated at a point and also she lose enjoying the moment. Her mind isnt feeling fresh, she is literally depressed. Being a rationale have to be in a limit and exceeding the limit may affect your mental health. Ofcourse, rationalism progress our human into a next level and it made us to think in a developed state but we humans too from animals, and we claim ourself as "socialised animals". Being rationale creating a gap between animals (which includes emotion, love, family, everything) and humans in the name of progress. It also gives us an utopian view over many topics (as if in communism) which isn't practically possible and make us to act against nature. So, without relationship, we can't im

Just swear it (*tha Paathukalam) - Edward Raghul

Talking bad words symbolizes rudeness, discourteousness, disrespectfulness, impertinence, impoliteness, impudence, incivility, inconsiderateness, inconsideration, insolence, discourtesy, ungraciousness, and a hell lot more. But who taught this? Our school is, the place where more slaves are made, and our parents are, a reflection of our conservative indigenous society and others who advise us a lot. But who taught bad words? Of course our friends, colleagues and school/college mates. Is talking a bad word worth it or a waste of time? A separate and unrelated study from the University of Rochester (2017) shows that intelligent people tend to swear more. Despite this study, other studies contradict to this which creates a paradox. We can consider that speaking bad words doesn't give more IQ to him but it's his mindset to do his work efficiently or his ability to think it properly. But usage of bad words or swearing it out makes him feel free, shows his openness, he ca

Don Film vs Toxic Parenting - Edward Raghul

Don film has a story in that, the protagonist initially hates his dad due to his character of not understanding his son and also not treating him good, not even supporting him morally too! Then his wife (mom of protagonist) make her son to understand that he did everything for your goodness. But this strategy is called as "love bomb" - fake love, the exact strategy of Toxic Parenting. 1. Self-centered Parents:- He gives importance to the things more than his son. For example, once the hero takes his dad's cycle for a test drive, he fell down. His dad doesnt give attention to his situation and asks nothing about his injuries rather he sees the condition of cycle. 2. Over expectation:- Also he tonsure his son's head as he concentrate on his hair style more than his studies. Which unknowingly and subconsciously affect the son's mindset and creates a trauma in him, which cant be erased. If its a real life story, the guy might faced mental illness too and m
