India: cyber crimes up across India. Maharashtra tops with 62% rise. Mostly Youngsters at fault, think they won`nt be caught. This is what National Crime Records Bureau (NCRB) report.
During 2013 the fact are following: Sexual harassment=233(101 in 2012)), Fraud=210(147 in 2012), Cause disrepute=75(38 in 2012), Extortion=14(5 in 2012), Revenge=15(6 in 2012). It is observed that increase in computer and smart devices have fuelled a spurt in cyber crimes of social nature such as abuse, intimidation, pornography, fake emails, etc. Unless law is strict the crimes will increase. Younger people know that the social media is un-policed and believe they have a right to say whatever they want., and still get away with it.
Your views, and comments will be highly appreciated. Kind Regards. Sunder T -<sunderkt@gmail.com>

Sub: Think India.
India thrives on contradictions like no place else; any visitor, tourist, or business representative can expect the unexpected. Relying on a trusted Indian friend to act as buffer and to protect one from culture shock is helpful in this sometimes highly confusing country. At your hotel, they may not serve beef because of the reverence Hindus hold for the cow. Yet you may hear the conversation of Hindu man from Kerala seated at a nearby table telling his wife on a cell phone that he will return home tomorrow and would prefer a beefsteak for dinner.
In a temple, where you might expect more familiar rules and behavior, you could be truly shocked to witness a sadhu (a holy man who customarily wears orange) amble in nonchalantly completely nude.
Your views, suggestions, or comments are most welcome.

There are two angles – good and bad- in the course of everyone`s life. The good angles encourages us to hear the inner voice of consciousness and he bad angles discourages s from listening to it, and influence us to focus instead only on materialistic ambitions for  power and wealth. Light and sight fall in the category of good angles and are supplementary to each other. Sight has no benefit in the absence of light, and similarity, the presence of light makes no difference to the sightless.

What is the secret behind successful marriages?
One has to learn the art of commitment and not complain.
[1] Marriage works when there is commitment but most marriages which fail, do so as they get blown  
      apart by complaints.
[2] Secondly everyone has comfort and discomfort zones. Learn initially to avoid the discomfort zone
      and log on to the comfort zone
[3] Thirdly don`t let expectations control your lives but learn to give in a relationship more than you
       demand or beg from a relationship.
How to adjust wisely, one has to learn. Don`t treat anything as a problem but an issue to handle. Learn to accept things and improve on things. Learn the art of empowering and beautifying the set-up.  Treat it as fun and not as a social obligation but a social challenge. Don’t look only at equal rights but also at duties to be fulfilled.
Kind Regards!

Adapt to any condition. Life is found in the deep sea and in the bowels of the earth. Many creatures live their whole lives thus quite happily. Family, friends, ask you to stop worrying. Yet you love to worry! Don’t dwell in the past or worry about the future. Don`t have expectations, indulging in thoughts of marking vast sums of money; receiving abundance love; getting recognition and honor for a live time of work. If you think you will be happy when some of these dreams come true, you are chasing a mirage. Be happy as you now are and enjoy peace.

Medication is the journey from movement to stillness, from sound to silence.
The need is present in you to meditate because it is our natural tendency to
look for undiminished joy and love that does not distort or turn negative.
Medication is food for the soul. When you are hungry, spontaneously you eat something. If you are thirsty, you drink water. Similarly, the soul yearns for
meditation and this tendency is in everyone.

Work on Bringing Balance to your life.
Work-life balance is one the most misunderstood concept in our pressure-laden times. Balance means finding that optimum point where the person working in a perfect condition, in perfect harmony with his environment. Balance does not mean giving equal priority to everything.
Often, people working wrongly believe that a work-life balance means dividing their time equally between work and family. Its fallacy is evident in the dissatisfaction people feel despite efforts at that `misunderstood` balance.
The answer to work-life balance is not in balancing one`s work with one`s family, for that simply means more work; it means balancing one`s work with one`s life. Your life includes you, your health, spiritual evolution, mental vigor, attitude and tenacity social presence, friends AND your family.
This sudden expansion in your life can be a shock and lead you to spin on all these factors. Let me tell you a secret; you don`t have to work at the balance, the balance work at you.
You will be amazed that we all have an inherent mechanism that warns us when our life is going off balance.
Make no comprises on your health or your body will make you a slave.
Kind Regards

India`s soil, climate and vegetation have played their part in molding Indian.  As there is a lot of nonsense talked on this subject, let me linger over it a little.
Every country affects its dwellers in a particular way. A psychologist has observed that a monkey sent to Germany for scientific observation begin to brood and behave like a Teuton, while the same monkey dispatched to the United States reacts like a restless American, always on the go.

Whatever comes and lives in India, undergoes a subtle change of psyche. Is value altering. The boundaries of good and evil, so clear before, now begin to melt a move. He floats in a void.

Destroy those envying roots and enjoy lasting peace. Just be aware when the feeling of
 jealousy arises, and you will be surprise, it simply disappears. Jealousy cannot be overcome
either by escaping from it or hating the object of jealousy.

Understand the way out of jealousy is not be surprising it or denying its existence. 
Expressing and encouraging it is also not the way because then you are not ready
to face he jealousy with awareness. Just watch how jealousy arise in you,
how it develops into hatred for the object of jealousy, how it creates restlessness
and frustration inside you and make you lose all of your peace and calm.

Do not condemn the object of jealousy. The object has not generated the
emotions from outside. The jealousy is happening inside you. The fire of jealousy
can just consume you completely if you don’t control it with the fire extinguisher of
you awareness. Once you witness your jealousy with awareness, you will realize
that it does not have a basis for existence at all.  When this happens, jealously
will drop automatically. You won`t have to drop it.

Best Wishes!

Let us not run away with the impression that our Indian Sumerian is a pure Sumerian. Only the dominant layer in him is that; his other layers are in constant conflict with the Sumerian.
Fantastic, it will be said. Not quite. Take for example, His fundamental reaction to life and thought –patterns was Western, particularly British, yet he was no more than an Englishman than I am the Khan of Tartary.  He was a complex personality, and affords the best example of my contention. Nehru could identify himself closely with almost every type of Indian: he felt with the Naga: with the Brahmin like a Brahmin: with the Muslim like a Muslim: with the untouchable like an untouchable; yet at heart he was none of these. What he was, I am sure, he himself did not know. He had deep urges and large dreams –that`s all. Here was our typically complex and contradictory Indian.
There is no doubt that our various racial strains have made us what we are at present-a people with no distinctive soul, but with only a many-colored psyche. But to say this is not to say all.

Arianism, of which we have become particularly proud since independence, is, we examine matters without priories, integumentary. The essence lies elsewhere.
The Indian spirit is basically pre_Aryan. The Dravidian element in it is predominant (as we see today,) but the total influences go further back. We have heard the phrase “Mother India”; India is much more than; she is the Granny of Nations. Her soul (there’s, I repeat, no “it” about it) is steeped in the leadings and misleading of many civilizations.
Whatever races came to India- they were attracted to her like moths to a flame- had one peculiarity: they refused to be integrated. Despite the terrific pressure of the anonymous multitudes around them, they remained undigested chunks.
 Hence the Indian paradox: one Indian reacts like  Scythian, another like a Sumerian, a third like a Greek, a fourth like an Arab, and so the complicated tale continues.

TOI editor has well said about BJP that “it has diluted its anti-corruption stance by admitting tainted leaders. Realizing the pitfalls some among the BJP`s central leadership including Advani, Sushma Swaraj and Arun Jailtley, have tried to distance themselves from the UP state leadership. But passing the buck is pointless. Only practicing for itself what it preaches to others can help. It`s a young, 21st century electorate out there-intelligent enough to see through cynical manipulations by the political class. It won`t help at all to be seen as a chip off the old block”.

One of the favorite sports of India`s middle classes is bureaucracy bashing. It is an easy game to play and can be quite a lot of fun. Everyone has their favorite, outrageous story about an encounter with the bureaucracy. The inefficiency, corruption, insensitivity, stupidity and Kafkaesque circularity of bureaucratic procedures and rules are legendary. That India`s bureaucracy is one the most stifling and difficult to deal with has now been revealed in a survey. Over a thousand expatriate business executive rated India`s bureaucracy the most annoying in Asia.
The problem with India is no, as we in the middle class imagine, that we have too many idle and corrupt bureaucrats.  The problem is that we have too many rules and regulations and too few officials to implement and monitor the regimes, and bring to book those who flout the rules and regulations. As India`s population grows, the disequilibrium is only going to grow: more rules and regulations to be applied to more and more people by a bureaucracy that is not high enough.
A conclusion: either we expand the bureaucracy or else the government will gradually wither away to the point that India will join the ranks of failed states. That would be a calamity for the Indian people.

As human beings, according to our inborn qualities, we are complete beings. But we are dependent on two external influences; nature and society. From one major point of view, we depend complete upon nature. Water, sunlight, oxygen, food, all parts of the life-support system is supplied by nature. We cannot afford to disassociate ourselves from these natural resources.
Living in a society means living with constant challenges. This perturbs people and they become individualists. But this kind of individualism is little more than escapism. Differences could be a boon, for if everyone thinks alike, no one thinks very much. So difference means diversity just like different trees enhance the beauty of a garden.
We cannot afford to live in a cocoon. For the larva living in a cocoon, it is a life before an impending transformation but for us human beings, it is no less than death. Social living means living through experiences, meeting challenges, learning lessons, teaching and learning. Society is like a living university. One who tries to go against society will commit social suicide. No one can afford to opt for either natural suicide. No one can afford to opt for either natural suicide or social suicide. Therefore, complaint is a futile exercise. Adjustment to achieve mutual benefit is the only possible formula.
