The cook at my Upanayanam

As a boy, my Upanayanam (thread ceremony) was planned. A couple of Mamis (aunties) were hired to make snacks. We were living in a 340 sq ft flat. I was eating my lunch some distance away.

I was out of a side-dish. "Amma, thottuka." "(Mother, a side-dish)."

The Mami puts out her hand towards me. "Intha, enna thottuko da.", meaning "Here, touch me". Thottuka can mean a side-dish, or literally, something to touch.

I just smile & don't respond. She then continues: "Ennada, kizhavia irukka nu ninaikkiraiya? Kumari ponnu thaan venuma?" meaning: "Are you not accepting the offer because I'm old? Are you looking only for young girls?"

What's in a name?

Intrigued by how important naming is.

When Mao was destroying ancient Chinese culture & massascring millions, he named it: The Great Leap forward & The Cultural Revolution. When Lenin captured power, it was the Bolshevik Revolution.

The opponents are intolerant fascists, supremacists, <adjective> nationalists.

Consider this: The Persecuted Religious Minorities Act. How would someone look if they protested against it? Instead, call it Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA) or the Lautenberg Act (in USA). How banal.

Given the effectiveness of name-calling, looks like our human brains haven't developed beyond elementary school name-calling & bullying & glaze over facts & details.

Also shows how important naming & branding is for businesses & products.

Beware of free: Big government & socialism

In the run-up to the elections, Dilliwallas have been provided free water, cheap power & transportation. This has left Delhi deep in debt.

In the short-term, history shows that political power can be captured by freebies.

In Tamil Nadu, a party was voted in on offering free TVs. They already controlled the media, and by providing free TVs paid by taxpayers, they could extend their outreach, while simultaneously benefiting their family & party members.

In the long term, however, the consequences can be devastating.

Greece provided free healthcare, free salaries after retirement for all, free everything. The politicians did capture power. However, the economy got into huge trouble.

Venezuela was a highly prosperous country, blessed with natural resources & beauty. Socialism brought it ruin & starvation.

India's economy was just starting to recover after independence from colonialism. Indira would implement socialism, nationalizing businesses, imposing an emergency and adding the words: socialism & secular into the constitution during the emergency. Within two decades, the Indian economy hit a crisis. Emergency reforms brought it back on track.

The Soviet Union, Argentina, Zimbabwe: All the lessons teach us that big government providing free stuff will eventually fail.

California's economy is resilient, with the world's envy of Silicon Valley & Hollywood. Californians & states with similar policies should be careful, with the direction the state is taking.

I wish Delhi well for their choices.
