Katyn 2010..


Did the Polish misread leniency and tenderness of Russian Bear..??
Not a conspiracy-led, but reading the many facts..

1. A plane with poor safety record..
2. A President with history of pushing aids and officers..
3. Packing country's elite in one plane..
4. Polish are over-charging the Katyn issue..
5. A bear is coming back from a winter cave..
6. Pilot ignored warnings, which would void the occasion..
7. A Suicidal pilot flying low in 400m visibility?


In Sudan, we had lost Dr Grang in similar conditions..!!
Yesterday; I was watching a documentary on Katyn Massacre.. How Stalin was calm and sympathetic when asked about the missing 20,000 Polish officers.. He replied: they either fled to Manchuria.. or lost their way going back home..!!!
Jehad Makhoul said: "If this was a foul play.... it means that in the modern politics you do not terrorize nations with massacres but by changing the political structure from up downwards !!"
Absolutely True.. either conceptually or physically (if needed) This is how elites turn from anti-x to pro-x; by realizing how serious the threats to their moneis, chairs or lives..!!
Maliha Raza Khan said: "Im wondering why the polish president and leadership team travelling in an aging russian aircraft. Also - why were so many leaders all travelling together??? "Certainly, not naivety nor stupidity.. The country is literally lost its political; government and military elites.. I wonder; what would be their way forward.. This reminds me the Dubai role that no more than five senior executive share the same flight..

Borders & Geopolitics



Although Parag Khanna has brilliant approach in analyzing the world and defining some of the root-causes of concurrent instabilities.. I disagree on some issues, as not only boarders were defined by economic infrastructure elements, but also by historical gossips, tales, roamers, fears or curses that had drawn the boarders.. Even so, new states or emerging nations are mysteriously driven by the same..!! Yet, he is a skillful cleaver scientist..

Darfurean Technology..!!


In Northern Darfur, while people could not manage the power supply, and live the long days and nights in total darkness.. Some brilliant minds came up with this simple technique.. Reversibly; turning an electric motor into a generator..!! and run it by attaching to a wheel of a car..!!



No more to say..!!

Bath or Shawer..?


Bathtubs are one of the unquestioned demises between Eastern and Western cultures..!!
They both share the religious plunge, yet for one it turned into a daily practice, while for the other it became an objective one..

Western cultures had generally been built up in watery environments; where lakes, rivers and swamps were almost everywhere. People enjoyed being in worm water tubs, to fight back the cold weather in springs and autumns. In Winter, they came up with Hot-Steam rooms; which enabled better and healthy circulation of blood and fluids inside the body.. Later, Bathtubs became an exotic element in domestic life across the Mediterranean, interpreting relaxation, wealth and comfort.. Bathing started as group activity, reduced to individual, and then evolved again as private one. It became principle part in urban life, where people would wash away their fatigue, boredom and dead skin as well.. Due to cold weather, Westerner had their fat-layer deeper in their skin, which do not polish or grease their outlook or touch..!! Therefore, bathing is fun rather than objective..!!

Eastern Cultures had contrarily experienced hot, sandy and dusty weathers, which required quick wash out whenever possible. Therefore, it was commonly known showering with all or some of cloth are on..!! This is still practiced in many places, adding to its justification the overwhelming oriental codes of privacy and modesty. Life was harsh and tight enough, so no time to be wasted in laying in a bathtub and enjoy sensations of submersion. This tells, why oriental relaxation is always costly, luxurious and private. Only Chinese created the art of negotiations around food or massage.. Not only the biology, but habits of oily nutrition made bathing with cleaning tools a critically required, to remove the timely created layers of fat and stains from the skin. This is why oriental bathing was associated with massage to clean the skin and discharge the muscles too.

Islam discourage spending time in nude-state, recommending being very limited to the purpose. This had been violated largely by non-Arab Muslims, who recalled bathing ceremonies and luxuries. Adding the naive technology of water facilities, Muslims were introduced to bathrooms less than a century ago. Nevertheless, all Mankind had knew washrooms or toilets only more than a century ago..!! However, it is one of the wonders that Muslim architects are keeping to fit their designs with bathtubs, not realizing that both heritage and religion shades away..!!

Water Works..


No wonder there is no 2nd world, as Technology gap looks unrecoverable..!! True merit is not in machines or applications, but in innovations and inventions which are furtherly becoming rare commodities..!!

What’s wrong with the Sudan?”

(This map represents the naivety of newly-born political activists in angry Sudan..!!)

The echoes of the unanswered question on “what’s wrong with the Sudan?” became magnet for mega unauthorized unqualified contributions, which in return had added not reduced the chaos back home..!! The matter is no longer the failure of ruling parties, but the immaturity of civil society and breaking of social aggregates..
This is universal..!!
The supposedly 2% to lead, or 13% to civically drive are not available among population of 41 mln with GDP of $2,300 per capita, a hospital bed for each 1000, rated 14 in infant mortality, with life expectancy at 50 years, ranked 19 in HIIV/AIDS deaths, spending 6% on Education, has 4.2 mln internet users, has 11 mln with mobile phones, has only 12,000 km of roads in 2.5 mln km2 of land, has 19% unemployment, ONLY 40% under poverty line, and finaly ranked 114 in human development..

Conditions Precedent


Afore her arrival into my place, vibes of energy and lightness came across.. Then her laughing eyes had introduced her to my wondering mind.. She was moving quickly, as someone continuously catching a deadline.. She never let her smile to fade, nor her pretty eyes to switch off.. Simply she had all the assets to capture any deep-sighted hearty-mind..!!
The few times we met, I could not hide anxiety or interest.. I was at that 2006 sailing with no shores to aim, no target to focus.. She came in, window-shop around, and lift my life in very few rounds.. I doubt if she recalls my name or what I was doing.. A year later, I came to know that got married..!!
When tried to collect back myself, and draw something to hold the life for; it was only a companion to bring sweetness and relaxation to my bored inner self.. I had a mutual friend to meet over lunch.. While cruising the busy streets, a flash blasted in my mind, to call for her help to find a companion.. The only thing to describe my dream princess, was to recommend being a replica of that wonderful young woman with the laughing eyes..
During the course; tales, gossips and snapshots on all friends and colleagues.. I could not let my tongue to release the words I had trained myself for.. Bit embraced, bit hesitant.. Suddenly, she recalled her, and how she feels sorry that she split and about to divorce her husband..!!
She closed the tale with an answer to a never-said-question:
"However; she is now much happier, restored her freshness, content and relaxed personality..”
All my way back, I could not think, I could not tell..
I came back home, check her social page, and kept reading the laughing eyes..
Is life predestined or coincidences..?
As per my belief; it is a conditioned predestined.. So, where am I from those conditions precedent?

Right To Education Act..

Some countries are seeking means to beef up schooling fees; others, realizes that despite all political debates, the Right To Education is holy glorious..


India today enacted the Right to Education Bill, which guarantees free and universal education for elementary education. The Prime Minister, in his address on the Act, today committed that financial constraints would not come in the way of implementation of the Act. He also emphasized that the needs of disadvantaged groups such as girls, Dalits, Adivasis and minorities would be focused on during implementation of the Act. An approximate 10 million children who do not now go to school are now expected to benefit from the Act, and the law will be binding on the part of the local and State governments to ensure that all children in the 6-14 age group get schooling. Slum children, the poorest and most vulnerable will get special focus under the Act, since these groups are the most disempowered and at the greatest risk of violation or denial of their right to education; The Act stresses the need to accelerate poverty reduction programmes, so that children are freed from domestic chores and wage-earning responsibilities.



You will be aware that the Millennium Campaign has supported the 9 is Mine campaign, which demands 6% of GDP on education and 3% on health, a commitment made by the Government.
