Some Facets of Ms Jayalalita the Tamil Nadu Chief Minister sentenced to a 4 year Jail term

Ms. Jayalalita the Tamil Nadu Chief Minister, now sentenced to 4 years in jail. This is the first case of a Chief Minister being sentenced to jail for corruption. Kudus to the Indian judiciary. A llok at the life of the Chief Minister will perhaps throw some light on her psychological make up. Many forget that she was not from an affluent family and had started her career as an actress. Her father died when she was 2 years old and at the age of 15 was introduced to Tamil films.

This was the clue to her later actions. She caught the eye of the faamous actor MGR who had a penchant for virgin girls and she promptly went to bed with him and became his mistress though he was 30 years her senior. She started acting in Tamil films but her hero was only MGR. MGR gave her permission to work in a Hindi film opposite the he man Dharmendra. She was the heroine of the film "Izzat".

The film did average business and MGR never permitted her to act in any other film. he was a possessive man and jayalalita is not known to have had any other lover or relationship. The sad part is MGR never married her and she has no children.After the death of MGR she donned the robe of his political heir as MGR had entered politics and become Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu.

 Two things stand out, her relative penury and a mistress of a man old enough to be her father. Probably after the death of MGR and with unbridled power she indulged in her dream of riches and glory. This was her doom. Did she realize that without any children or heir, what would she do with all the wealth she had amassed ?

Are there any Virgins in America above 18? * 73

Who is a virgin girl? In classical thought and philosophy a virgin girl is one who has her hymen intact. It is the classical connotation of virginity. Yes. A virgin could have her hymen perforated by strenuous physical activity like cycling, but the chance of that is one in ten. Generally a hymn is perforated after sexual intercourse.

 One of my friends popularly remarked that there are no virgins in America beyond the age of 18. This statement is factually correct and many American friends have confessed they would love to have a virgin but none were around. How come this has happened?

The fact is that in America its a permissive world and girls lose their virginity before they touch 14 or 15. So the chance of getting a virgin with an intact hymen on your bridal night is a big zero. What if you desire a virgin on your bridal night? The only option is to come down to India and marry a Indian girl. You are sure to get a virgin with hymen intact and that is a matter of pleasure. Can one have a virgin in America. That's a thousand dollar question as virgins are just not there.

This is not applicable to America alone, but to most of the advanced world and even Africa. I recollect that Richard Branson chose the word "virgin" for his airline , when at a party a lady friend mentioned to him that there were not many virgins around.

China Changes: Abolishes One Child Norm and Notorious Labor Camps, But Iron Fetters Remain

China is changing. At the coming session of the Communist party in Beijing two important resolutions are on the cards. First there is likely to be a relaxation of the one child policy that is in force for the last 55 years. Couples will be allowed to have one more child, but there are restrictions on that. Its not clear if it will be a universal policy.

The Chinese also plan to do away with labor camps called “Laojiao". These camps have held millions of Chinese in forced labor for years. Some have not seen their family for decades. The persons incarcerated in these camps are those charged with petty crimes. Again its not clear, if these camps will be totally abolished or only scaled down.

China is a draconian state and despite these small whiffs of change, the life of the average Chinese is hard and tough. He knows nothing of freedom of speech and life. He cannot even own an air-gun. It’s a state where ‘Big Brother’ controls everything. That’s the reason I say that China represents evil and despite the USA having a fear of China, it will lose in the world. In the long run India with its rich cultural heritage and spiritual ethos with a working democracy will outpace China.

Gustav Coubert, His paintings and the Realistic movement

Gustav Courbet was a french painter who lived during the 18th century. He is remembered as the man who was a pivot of the Realistic movement in art. The aim of this movement was to paint the human body as we see it. In addition it also involved painting real life images of slums and poverty. 

Gustav believed that women should be painted as seen with pubic hair. In this he differed with the classical Greek art which considered that women be drawn, painted or sculpted without hair. Thus we have Greek images of art of women without hair, more as white plaster images. Gustav Courbet painted what he liked best and believed in. He painted women in the nude. many of his paintings adorn the art galleries in France and millions of his prints are sold world wide. Some of his paintings are reproduced below

Last Mission over Kargil and the grand Finale : A Golden Girl in Bed

Many friends have asked me to write a memoir. Perhaps one day I will, like Nirad Chaudhury. His book “ Autobiography of an Unknown Indian” made him famous. I rarely write of my battle experiences though I have mentioned fleetingly of women in my life. In particular, fair and glowing goddesses who along with the Mach II planes had been my world for long. In 1998 I had put in my papers and the ‘old foggie” had promised to follow them up. I was staying in the DSOI with my American Captain Gal who was on furlough leave. The old foggie rang me up and as usual he was terse and to the point

“Look MG, “ he said” I am holding up your release, so within 3 hours fly to Srinagar and take command of the MIG s squadron”. That was it, an order to be obeyed. The phone rang again. “Hello, he said “ I suppose the lady captain is still with you , take her as well as she is the LO of the USAF now.. I have rung up the AOC to hook you a nice pad in the Badami Baug mess. I told S.. about the conversation and she was delighted. “Yes, “ she said “I am your new LO now, but how did the old man know?” I reached Srinagar and took command of the squadron. There was a furious battle raging between the Indian army and the Pakistan Northern Light infantry. The enemy had the advantage as he had the heights and an airstrike was called for.

I made the battle plan and we took off at first light. The plan envisaged me and my buddy to face the x15 in aerial combat while the rest attacked in ground support role. Beating the PAF in the air was of paramount importance as then only the ground support role would work. I was up and then saw the X15 coming. The adrenal rushed to my brain. We dogged each other and then I realized the man facing me was also an ace. We both fired and missed. I then did a long loop and came diving at 2.5 mach. I had a 2 second view of him and I fired. I hit him and I saw the smoke arise. The X15 was on fire. I saw an ejection and soon a parachute opened. I was glad the pilot was saved. I slowed down and circled the parachute and like a true soldier he held up his thumb, signaling he had lost and I had won.

I landed back and learnt that the Indian army had taken the heights thanks to my boys who had opened unfettered fire in ground support. I reached the mess and rushed into Captain S arms. Yes she was the second adrenal now though 20 years younger. I also received a call from the old foggie “ well done “ he said” the man who opposed you was Wg Cdr K….. You know he was the topmost ace of the PAF”. The waiter knocked and as he entered he carried a gift hamper from the old foggie, now a Marshal. I was expecting it. A bottle of the rarest Scotch “Royal Salute:” There was a tongue in cheek message” Hope it helps you to perform better”. After that it was my private moment of bliss. Anything better than a combat at Mach 2.5 and good scotch whiskey and kebabs with a lovely golden girl in your arms? What do my readers think?

The battle Between Karna and Arjuna: Was it a Battle Between Good and Evil ?

I would like to introduce to my American friends two characters from the Mahabharta, who were both brothers. they are Karna and Arjuna. Both became adverseries and that by itself is another tale. One aspect of their life is the most celebrated battle between them in the Mahabharata. This was a fantastic duel between the brothers.Karna was the elder brother, but as he was born out of wedlock, his mother Kunti set him adrift in a boat in the river. He was recused by a Charioteer and brought up as his son. Arjuna was the third son of Kunte and was much respected as a warrior and great archer.

The Mahabharta relates that Karna was humiliated time and again especially during the swayamvara of Draupadi and driven away as he was supposed to be of menial caste. He was given shelter by Duryodhana the evil genius and enemy of the Pandavas( Arjuna and his brothers). Karna was thus beholden to Duryodhana and he promised Duryodhana he would kill the Pandavas. When Kunti the mother came to know of the oath of Karna she went at night to Karna and told him he was her son and he should join his brothers. Karna politely refused but promised her that he would only kill Arjuna and spare the other Pandavas brothers. He thus said that either he or Arjuna would die and yet 5 Pandavas would remain.

It is recorded that the mighty Bhīma the third brother of the Pandavas was defeated in battle by Karna, but as per his promise to Kunte he spared Bhīma.

Karna became the commander of the army of Duryodhana and the Pandavas were scared as Karna was a mighty warrior. He and Arjuna met in single combat. Arjuna‘s chariot was driven by none else than the lord himself Krishna. In repeated battles Arjuna was defeated and Krishna was worried. Then a miracle happened the Chariot of Karna sank in the mud and Karna was incapacitated. He requested Arjuna to wait a few moments till he pulled the chariot out of the wet mud.

The Lord has his own ways, he exhorted Arjuna to kill Karna when he was pulling the chariot out of the mud and was defenseless. Arjuna hesitated but the lord told him it was essentially a fight between good and evil and killing Karna was essential to defeat Duryodhana. Arjuna then killed a defenseless Karna. This episode makes me think. Karna was greatly wronged in life and he was killed when he was defenseless, yet his killing was essential to defeat Duryodhana. Such is life!

In Muslim Law a Woman who cannot prove Rape is tried for Zinna( Adultery).

I must explain to my friends and readers bring out a point that they may not be aware off. Firstly as per the Sharia in Islamic Law, a wonan has to prove the offence of rape has to bring forth 4 witnesses. Now rapes are not done publicly and from where the woman will bring the witnesses. Secondly a woman's evidence is half of a man , thus to even corroborate her statement she must bring another woman. Really silly. No way a woman can prove rape. In case a woman cannot prove rape, the consequence is terrible. She will be tried for Zinna or adultery and the punishment for this is death by stoning. These are medieval punishments and yet they are on the statute books of most Islamic nations and even those nations who are considered progressive like Pakistan
