"Anjanam", I know it is as white as Turmeric

The Title might need explanation.Anjanam is a kind of Black stone .If one claims that it is as white as Turmeric the basic meaning to be conveyed is that he doesnt know anything about anything.The reason:

Anjanam is Black in color.Turmeric is a substance with pure yellow color.So calling a black stone as white as Turmeric by comparing it to something with color of pure yellow is nothing but ignorance.

Though I am not a person interested in active Politics or following it regularly,I have an interest in discussions between eminent personalities that are being put on air by different TV channels of local origin.This is as good as watching the Presendential debates on TV channels while an ekection is likely to take place in US.

Recently ,I had an opportunity to watch a debate on a TV channel(I dont get such oportunity very often as I have tremendous amount of Domestic works to attend to)regarding the hike in respect of cost of Petrolieum
products,

The real reson for the hike is that the prices of crude oil went up in international market  as a result of which
the Indian Petrolieum companies were forced to hike the domestic prices with a view to avoiding heavy loss to them.When the price of crude oil came down in the international market ,the Petrolieum Companies later on reduced the price correspondingly!

The discussions  on this matter by different personalities were different ,controversial &opposit to one another.The Personalities incidently belonged to different Political parties in the habit of accusing  each other.

The first gentleman who opened the discussion was very clever&fast in speaking.He resorted to the method of speaking very fast touching various aspects simultaneously without allowing time for the listners to analyze what he said .In other words the speaker himself was not aware of what he said.sometimes he justified the increase&simultaneously criticised the decision saying that it was impossing heavy burden on common man
and the rich people were not much affected because they coiuld afford to pay the hike without difficulty.But he appears to have conveniently forgotten the fact that there were extremely rich people in the party to which he belonged

The next gentleman who spoke, said he agreed to the fact that common man was affected but the party who spoke first also belmged to the commitee which took decision to hand over powers to the OPretrolieum companies to increase or decrease prices according to the fluctuations in the international market&why they did not reveal their reservations at that time,This second speaker did not prolong his discussion to punish those who attended to it.

The third gentleman who spoke last was also very clever by sticking to neutral view to save skin.He also did not punish the listeners for long.

Finally at the end of the discussion,there was nothing new emerged by leaving the matter as such where it started.For listeners it was more or less a waste of their precious time which could have been alternatively utilised for something useful

I am not sure &I dont think I have any business to know whether the speakers were being paid anything for the services they rendered to the channel

There is yet another branch of similar nature,It is the "Vaastusastra" .

All those who venture out for a new home are particular about resorting to proper "Vaastusastra" befpre starting construction of their home.They consult different experts&Astrologers to arrive at a proper decision in the matter.

But here in this matter also the opinion differ  from person to person because they  impart different versions of "Vaastusatra"

Finally ,the person who wish to own a Flat/Villa find it very difficult to reach at  a solution.There are some persons who find that constucting a Flat/Villa is easier than arriving at a decision about "Vaastusaastra"As the exploitation in this field is sometimes unbearable ,there are many people who either postpone or  even abandon their desire for a home.

To conclude,the trends on various matters  prevailimg today leads to dipute&fighting among competitors
thereby leaving the commom man perplexed& blinking.

Incidently this reminds me reading somewhere what Sir Winston Churchil said almost 65 years  ago before handing over Power to India on getting Independence.He said:-" Dont hand over power to Indians because they would fight among themselves for Power&destroy this Holy&beautiful country in the fiture"Yes! what the Indians are doing to day is nothing but proving every word of  what Sir Winston Churchil had envisaged long ago.
