META apologizes to Indian government.

Posted on by veeskitchen

Why ask for apology. Why should Facebook not be kicked out of India.

CJP, the Cockroach Janata Party of India did not grow ORGANICALLY but was watered by social media platforms such as Facebook by Meta. It means, India’s very democracy is at risk.

Thank god I am not on social media! I was but I signed out years back. Social media sounds so FAKE. The interest in social media fizzled out. Back then Facebook was really ideal for closeknit groups. In those days we used to share family vacay pics, kids’ graduation photos etc., freely on FB. Personally for me, as my buddy list crossed 250-270, I felt uneasy about sharing everything with everyone. Besides loss of privacy, it looked like seeking validation from one and all. We are sufficient and we don’t need approval or certification, that’s my point. Nobody needs to know about our private lives. So many acquaintances’ personal stories were something I felt I could do without too. That extra piece of sh*t about others’ families – why should we fill our head with. I DON’T EVEN WANT TO KNOW ABOUT OTHERS EVEN IN THESE TIMES OF ONLINE SNOOPING WITHIN THE 4 WALLS OF OTHERS’ HOMES. That extra useless information is garbage. To that extent, our own life is interesting and engaging enough for me! There is simply no space in my mind for third parties. The importance some people give us make me only grin. Because for me they are like, ‘my foot!’

Today in You tube, saw this leading ex heroine of Tamil film industry confess, her daughters never saw her films and were not even aware that she was an actress. But these stars spoil the masses while fiercely protecting their own family and values. The problem is with us.We have to plug the loopholes and make sure we don’t pay attention to these cheap distractions. The films must be begging for our attention. They must be only for our relaxation when we want to have some brainless entertainment for distraction. Even Zuckerberg once in an interview was seen making dinner with his family while the rest of the world wasted time on social media. So whose mistake is that really.

I am extremely conscious of WHAT MY MIND CONSUMES. About what I watch, what I read etc. This is why I mainly signed out of social media platforms. CONTENT is very important. What our mind sees, shapes our persona and ultimately our lifestyle and very living.

And if Meta had been deliberately promoting CJP in India to create national problems, then it is a huge security threat to the country. This angle must be probed and Meta, if needed, must be kicked out of India or banned for at least 6 months as some experts aver.

The dots connecting the impending FCRA law Amendment 2026, Deep State of the US & the CJP of India.

Posted on by veeskitchen

What is the new FCRA amendment 2026?

On 22 June 2026, India’s Ministry of Home Affairs adopted the Foreign Contribution (Regulation) Amendment Rules granting the Indian government sweeping new powers to police the activities, operation, management and leadership of non-governmental organizations (NGOs) receiving foreign funding.

The above is a copy & paste job by me from Google. The reason for the current protests in Delhi is as simple as that. India says NO to foreign funding (read American) which in the guise of funds for church can fund any anti-national activity in Indian soil. Precedents have been set in Nepal and Bangladesh where the US Deep State allegedly played an active role. The CJP, the Cockroach Party of India is sponsored by who? The Delhi protests are sponsored by who? Why should the US government that wants a favourable trade deal in American favour want to pump in millions of dollars into India year after year supposedly for church and related organizations. FCRA is internal matter of India and is of huge concern to the national security. India has every right to refuse funds from the US. What an irony is that the Americans WANT to forcefully fund destabilizing activities in India with funding through legal channels aimed at overthrowing present BJP government. Has America not destroyed enough nations on earth already.

NEET paper leak is shameful still it is internal matter of India. Care has to be taken that the protests in the capital do not get fanned out of control by the Deep state of America through channels such as FCRA. Enough was done during last parliamentary elections. BJP still won the last Lok Sabha elections and PM Modi ji returned as the prime minister of India for a third term. It is BECAUSE OF MODI AND TEAM ALONE THAT WE FEEL SECURE WITH ROGUE NATIONS LIKE PAKISTAN AND CHINA FOR NEIGHBOURS. IT IS BECAUSE OF MODI ALONE WE ARE TIDING THROUGH TOUGH GLOBAL TIMES TIMES BECAUSE OF ENERGY CRISIS IMPOSED ON THE WORLD BY THE ONGOING GULF WAR. How the team of Modi-Jaishankar-Doval is pulling the trick is unbelievable – given the massive population of India and geography. Look at the queues and oil prices in countries around the world including Europe. Risking India’s safety and security with Rahul Gandhi – is INSANE IDEA.

Funny to see the totally corrupt Stalin and Udayanidhi are making headlines in Tamil news channels with their nonsensical views. Why do they want NEET cancelled? So that per seat they can mint lakhs of rupees that will grow into crores. A steady stream of income. We all are aware what the PG med management quota seats were selling for prior to NEET. Now just the stipulated fees running to a few lakhs per year, a NEET aspirant who secures a medical seat has to spell out under payment quota. No capitation. And for PG the stipend is handsome. Initially even I was opposed to NEET when it was introduced. But in practical life over years, I am seeing nieces and friends’ kids benefiting largely from NEET paying fair fees and getting admit to otherwise impossible PG speciality seat.

All frustrated losers out there in Delhi to see if they can dislodge center. Let us see how far this goes. Meanwhile. FCRA 2026 Amendment has to be enforced and foreign funding needs to be investigated and frozen. If minister Dharmendra Pradhan is guilty, he must be dealt with as per law. How about removing him from the cabinet for a starter. BJP in power for 15 years and therefore some complacency must be setting in in the party and the leaders. The third term was expected to see this excess. Not that it is justifiable in any manner. If Modi does not act now, the party will have to pay a heavy price in the next Lok sabha elections. Dismiss Pradhan and deliver justice. Why is Modi hesitating. Is it because it will be like opening the Pandora’s box with other irregularities falling out?

BJP govt has committed nothing that Congress hadn’t done earlier. How about auditing Vadera first. Rahul Gandhi’s secretive life – we don’t even know about. How to have such a fishy person whose only qualification to anything is by virtue of birth alone – as a leader of anything. His credentials look dubious.

Corruption has to routed out but there are legal ways to go about it. Useless fellows engage in protests. Real hardworking students don’t go out and carry banners in the streets. They prove their mettle in the universities. Take a stock of the protesting youngsters: most will be non technical arts and literature and social sciences majors. No STEM candidate will ever carry a placard and waste time in protests against government. Those with scientific temperament and definite purpose in life don’t engage in worthless activities. Students with too much extra/leisure time, spoilt brats pursuing aimless degrees to make a future in visual media etc., will be the frontliners. Why can’t the media people quiz the protestors about their college background.

We all know of the Kejriwal story. CJP too will burn out with time.

Again from Google:

What is the FCRA bill?

The Foreign Contribution (Regulation) Act (FCRA) is the law that governs how Indian individuals, associations, NGOs, trusts and companies may receive and use money, securities or articles sent to them from a source outside India.

Why is America keen on funding India. They already must be running huge defence bills over war with Iran. They keep complaining about unfair trade practices by India. Yet they want to pump in millions into our NGOs, all American tax payers money, and want no supervision. If this is not the Deep state of America at work, then what is it. India has every right to refuse the ill-intended American charity.

Its not easy to govern a mammoth nation like India with diverse population of about 1.4 billion, especially through testing economic times like these. Instead of appreciating Modi govt, these guys are out to tear up the security blanket of India. Doing a fantastic job so far Modi & team. But Dharmendra Pradhan MUST go. No second opinion on that.

Qatar: Father Emir passes away.

Posted on by veeskitchen

Qatar was our second home for some 20 years. We have felt safest in Qatar and Ma Lalitha once again spared me the ordeal of war. I left Qatar for the last time by January end, never to return again. At that moment I had no idea that that was my last time in Qatar. But before going to airport, climbing into my husband’s Prado, i got an intuition that I was seeing him for the last time. I now reckon intuitions are not 100% correct but they can give you a vague idea. My high vibrational friend told me, I must take it as, it was the last time I was seeing my husband in Qatar. Now we are retired and back home in Chennai. But what happens in Middle east continues to be of interest to us. I see that we lived in the middle east probably in their golden period who knows. Now the expat communities who continue to work and live in the gulf states are steeped in fear and deep uncertainty. Projects are not rolling and there is a heightened sense of insecurity among residents. Wages are being delayed if not slashed, and the Hormuz is still not safely and routinely operational.

But under the emir of Qatar, we all lived a happy and peaceful life in their country. I recall the day when the son took over from father may be some 10-15 years back*(2013 I understand). We got a message in phone asking us not to step out for security reasons. Power transition was smooth.

Under both the father and the son, the country has prospered. They hosted last FIFA world cup in Doha and I got to watch at least 3 matches live in stadiums. My husband got to watch 5 at least. Its a one in a lifetime experience. Even a nonfootball person like me enjoyed the occasion thoroughly as entire Qatar wore a festive look.

Frankly until this Iran war, I never thought such a fate would befall on the gulf states. I used to be a frequent flyer. I have switched flights in Abu Dhabi, Sharjah, Dubai, Muscat, Bahrain that all became so familiar airports to me. Doha I used to be more familiar with than even Chennai my hometown as I spent at least 6 months there every year (3 in Chennai and 3 in the US). More comfortable with Doha metro. Our everyday evening walk would be in tastefully curated parks and in the seafront Corniche. Quality of life was really good. We had an eye for art scene there as well. I would say our life in Doha was rich in the sense, it was deeply satisfying to all our senses.

Even though I have seen Doha grow in front of my eyes under the younger Emir, I am told that its the father Emir who got Qatar out from very dismal low levels of livelihood. His period saw the nation grow stronger and become the world’s wealthiest. Politically too the tiny nation drew international attention, not only for hosting FIFA world cup 2022 but also with their keen negotiating skills with varied rival factions from warring middle eastern nations. Father emir also gracefully left the throne when he was much younger and healthy, to the present emir – a rarity in islamic countries.

Qatar has been a beautiful and peaceful chapter in my life. We grew economically little comfortable in Qatar, we became grandparents and even spiritually I benefited from enforced loneliness in Doha that I capitalized for Mantra Japam! In fact my awakening was starting to happen right in Doha before I boarded the flight to the US this january end. But I had no idea what was happenign to me then.

Qatar is also blessed today because of the powerful mantras chanted by Hindu Indian population there and because of the pujas we do there. THERE IS NO HINDU TEMPLE IN QATAR. That was a big peeve for me. So most of us double our pujas at home to compensate for lack of temple visit. In fact, we feel that there is so much of negativity in islamic nations in general because of their blood thirst and violence ideology. Definitely if nations like UAE, Qatar, Bahrain etc., have withstood this gulf war and have stayed secure, it is because of the positivity of the Hindu population and the christian population (the filippinos). Our dharmic lifestyle and good karma in middle east no doubt have kept these nations safe and secure so far. Don’t you owe Hindus a temple tell me EMIR OF QATAR?

I still wish Qatar safety and security first and wealth, happiness and prosperity. The younger emir will miss the wisdom of the father emir undoubtedly. These are difficult times. One thing I hated about Qatar was their Al Jaz*era that used to spew venom on India. The father emir trusted India and remained close. Now that I am out of Qatar for good I can very well say this: the younger emir partners with rogue nations like Turkey and Pakistan. Even Iran used to be Qatar’s best buddy. Recently in Ras Laffan, over 15 engineers lost their lives to accident (they say) in the gas production facility. 14 of them were Indians and only 1 Paki engineer. But we are all treated the same. What is our contribution and what is theirs. The younger emir will be inviting trouble to the island nation if he is going to follow this path. The older man was wiser.

Sometimes I can’t believe that I won’t be going back to Qatar. A 20 year residence just like that came to a close. Doha used to be my home away from home. I miss Doha and the peace and quiet of Qatar where silence ruled the skies. Now the same skies are seeing the missiles and drones with warnings screeching on phones as govt reportedly issues alarms. I wish Qatar longlasting peace.

BUILD A HINDU TEMPLE, EMIR OF QATAR. YOU NEED ALL PRAYERS AND WELL WISHERS. God bless you. God bless Qatar. Om Shanti, Father Emir. May your Atma attain Satgati. You were a good man. We all loved you and had immense respect for you. Go in peace.

Can CM Vijay do this. Challenging.

Posted on by veeskitchen

Simply mindblowing SERUPPADI speech in today’s State Assembly, targeting the most corrupt DMK govt that passed out, by CM Vijay. Tamil Nadu has never had it so good in my memory. Finally we have a man who is clean, who wants to work for the people and who DOESN’T WANT PUBLIC MONEY.

Cannot express my gratitude for Vijay cancelling outright the Parandhur airport project saving our farmlands. Relocating the project to ‘neidhal’ lands of the Tamil Nadu coast is a wise choice. Heard the choice could be Cheyyur.The DMK real estate mafia now has no face. They are COOKED literally! Kudos to CM Vijay for stalling/withdrawing environmental/green approval for the Brigade group for their real estate promotion on the marsh lands of OMR. These wetlands are the lungs of Chennai. Enough harm has been done already. These two very bold acts alone are enough to prove what this man VIJAY is made of. He is promising action against dope, probably introduced to Tamil Nadu by DMK goons who knows. Please chief minister, save our younger generations.

TVK govt has scrapped the business deals such as planned commercial complexes worth hundreds of crores to be financed out of Hindu temple money. The sanctions were given during DMK period. I wish the temple funds are left to HINDU TEMPLES just as the church money stays with church and mosque money stays with muslims. Hindu temple donations are spent on public projects with the govt having access to even the temple wealth such as antique precious jewelry and gems in gold and diamonds. How much of this is already liquidated by fraud govts earlier is a big question mark. SIVAN SOTHU KULA NASAM. Anyone who touches Shiva’s wealth will have generations doomed – as you see in Afghanistan, Pakistan etc., even today.

However I am asking openly this to CM Vijay.

DO YOU HAVE IT IN YOU TO DEMOLISH THE DMK/ADMK GRAVES IN THE MARINA. Do you have it in you to free our beaches for the masses. Do you have it in you to SAVE OUR BEACHES, TO SAVE OUR ENVIRONMENT AND PUT A FULLSTOP TO GRAVE CULTURE? Beach is the only place we can rewind during weekends without having to spend money. I am someone who grew up near seaside in Mylapore, walking to beach often, not having to spend a penny on anything. In a hot country like India, the beach is the only free/cheap entertainment/relaxation for the poor masses especially during summer months.

DO YOU HAVE IT IN YOU TO DRAW CURTAINS AND CLOSE THE KALAIGNER 100TH YEAR NONSENSE AMUSEMENT PARK IN CATHEDRAL ROAD AND RESTORE THE HORTICULTURAL SOCIETY THAT WAS FUNCTIONING THERE UNTIL RECENTLY. Just bulldoze with JCB!!! Not only this amusement park but also the DMK/ADMK graves. Cite Environment laws. But be ready to face the flak.

I wish I had watched more of his films just to understand this man better. Can’t believe the hero who I could not stand is doing already a fantastic job for the state. Yeah now I remember I have seen 3 pictures of his: Gilli, Kadhalukku Mariyadhai and then Vaathi i think.

First time, not seeing the traffic police stopping motor bikes for ‘maal’ during weekends! That itself is a good sign. I have seen how disrespectful they would sound catching hold of young couples out for harmless fun.

Lastly, among other projects, I am impressed with the plans to clean up Koovum river/Buckingham canal, major waterways of Chennai even a hundred years back. Vijay, please also desilt all temple tanks not only in the capital but throughout Tamil Nadu that are recharge points for ground water table, and weed out the reservoirs and lakes in time for North west monsoons scheduled to arrive by oct-dec.

Another request for CM Vijay: PLEASE RESTORE STORM WATER DRAINS AND RAINWATER HARVESTING PROJECTS MADE MANDATORY BY JAYALALITHA JAYARAM, FORMER CM, DURING HER REGIME. DMK deliberately dismantled it. The state was doing well with monsoons and rain harvesting, with the water table in the state rising to phenomenal levels during her period. Link it to future plan approvals and as JJ did, ask the households to do it within a timeframe. Yes, you can consider subsidy.

Vijay and TVK are still lucky because, DMK caused less damages anticipating a win and expecting TVK to lose. Otherwise do you remember what or how Karunanidhi left the state when it was apparent JJ would be back? Mysteriously power grids were burnt down. Overnight from NO POWERCUT STATE FOR 10 YEARS UNDER JJ, Tamil Nadu plunged to darkness and powercut days. Remember you are not dealing with just mindless hooligans but seasoned criminals. TAKE CARE. CM Vijay must also take his personal security seriously.

CM Joseph Vijay’s Mookambika temple visit.

Posted on by veeskitchen

I never watched any of films sorry! May be I did one or two like Gilly and then Vaathi. Not sure if I saw from titles to end. Always viewed Vijay as overacting fellow and as someone who came up from filmy background. But I don’t think you can achieve so much with just luck or your background. Unless you have stuff, you cannot simply reach this level – of course there must also be the Divine Grace. No wonder Vijay visited Tiruchendur to pay his obeissance to Lord Muruga (Skandha) the warrior son of Lord Shiva soon on getting elected as the CM of Tamil Nadu. He visited the Shirdi Sai Baba;s shrine in Maharashtra as well. Thirdly I am surprised about his Mookambika temple visit. I don’t think its just a political visit for praying for power. Mookambika is the reason for artists prospering – be it in music or other performing arts. Preschool children are given ‘asksharaabhyas’ (introduction to alphabets) in the temple in front of the Saraswathi deity, the Goddess for education/wisdom/knowledge. Without the divine grace of Ma Mookambika, Vijay could not have been shining as leading hero of Tamil film industry for 2 decades now. His mother, a Hindu, is also a classically trained vocalist giving stage performances. Mookambika is the reason he has peaked twice in life – in both his acting career as superstar and now as Tamil Nadu chief minister. Earlier the former CMs of Tamil Nadu M G Ramachandran and Jayalalitha Jayaram followed the same steps and they too had offered their obeissances to Ma Mookambika of Kollur.

But unlike MGR and JJ, Vijay is christian. Channel surfing, I came across his film that was playing in one of the tv channels. It was ‘Nilave va’ probably made over 20 years ago. In this the heroine is Subalakshmi. Hero is our Vijay. His name is ‘Siluvai’ (cross of the Christ). In one scene the Hindu heroine says,’I am ready to be estranged from my parents, my family to convert and marry the christian Siluvai (Vijay).’ That made me wonder whether Vijay had masterminded his entire career for political gains at a later stage. How did even the censor board allow this dialogue which has got nothing to do with individual freedom. We have had many pictures showcasing inter-religious marriages at national and regional levels. In ‘Alaigal Oivadhillai’ by Bharathi Raja showing Hindu-christian love marriage, there is never the question of conversion arising. In the picture ‘Bombay’ of Mani Ratnam, there is never the question of conversion discussed as both the hero and heroine retain their faiths of birth and bring up neutral kids (with no religious identity attached to them). I even wondered why Joseph Vijay did not use his full name for his acting career. For years, he was presumed to be a hindu only by the masses. His christian identity came out very late after he had made huge fan crowds.

However all this is in past. I am willing to still give him the benefit of doubt. I hope CM Joseph Vijay will NOT be emboldening the christian missionary mafia operating in the state bribing and coercing the poorest and most vulnerable in the society to convert.

Hindu temples that have stood for thousands of years in the face of invasions house powerful deities. But if anyone enters the precincts of the same shrines with mal intensions, our deities won’t hesitate to take out their wrath on the erring persons.

Ma Mookambika is also my ishta devta, introduced to me by my biological mother. She is in my everyday prayer. I get strongest vibes from Her and I chant Her mantras. I have been doing Diya puja for Her for over a quarter century now – bi weekly.

So far Vijay’s intentions seem good. I don’t care whether he is hindu or christian or muslim. So long as he is decent and free of corruption, I shall support him. Most importantly he must not harm Hindu interests. This is the native soil of us Hindus. Lets wait and watch. When Hindus want even a Hindu president for America, why cannot they tolerate a christian for a CM. But then, Hindus never try to CONVERT. In Hindu dharma, you can be a hindu only if you CHOOSE to. CONVERSION is NOT encouraged. Soul harvesting for numbers is for christians who sell Jesus like Harpic and Carefree door to door. To those from west who embrace Sanatana Dharma, it is a conscious choice on realization.

Om Shri Matre Namaha. May good things happen. Ma Mookambika routed out DMK no doubt. Can’t wait to see our sister Kanimozhi in black burqa along with Durga Stalin in black burka leaving Hinduism. Our Hindu brothers must make it possible for us to EXPEL THE DMK GOONS FROM HINDUISM. Strip them of Hindu identity. Unfortunately we don’t have something like Mecca or Vatican or Quran or Bible to lay down rules in Hinduism. Hindu Dharma is way of life. You don’t convert. You don’t excommunicate. Either you are born a Hindu or you make a conscious choice and become a Hindu (simply no coercion or bribe).

**************************

What I like about Vijay: HE COULDN’T CARE LESS ABOUT UDAYANIDHI AND PREFERS NOT TO RESPOND/REACT/REPLY TO HIM. Shabash! How not to react/respond to toxic people – learn from our CM Vijay! We have a cool CM with rare maturity which comes as a pleasant surprise. Whether when it comes to having good relations with center or prioritizing national identity/agenda first over Tamil identity, we have to give it to Vijay for laying down the ground basics firmly and clearly.

India Fertility rate now below Replacement level.

Posted on by veeskitchen

Not at all surprised that Indian population growth in 2026 registered at 1.9, under the replacement level of 2.1 for the country. Hardly a handful of my son’s classmates/schoolmates are married (32-32 years) and even those who are married are not for having babies. DINK – the’ double income no kid’ is the latest trend among whoever can manage to live as couples. Earn sky high, indulge in foreign holidays without commitments, live life king size in luxury apartments and dining out most days, shop, party – and if you feel vacuum, adopt a puppy. Unfortunately, this is what the kids of this generation tell me about how they want to live their lives. I am reprimanded by my son who has warned me that I should never question his friends both boys and girls on their marriage or about parenthood. ‘Its their choice’ says he. Even those few who are married have rocky marital relationships if not already legally separated. Depression is not uncommon. This is inspite of the kids having had a brilliant academic record capping it later with remarkable professional accomplishments. So what is missing here? Its pathetic – seeing younger Indian generation rotting away lacking inspiration. Another shocking observation that the population census may not cover is that; NOBODY WANTS TO BE MENTOR/CEO. Very few want to opt for the responsibility of taking up leadership role. We are staring at such a demotivated generation that I am not sure where we parents went wrong in raising our children who grew up in the 1990s-2000s.

Fewer babies are being born and among the fewer, a sizeable percentage of the newborns seem to have developmental issues or learning disabilities such as autism or dyslexia. Out of every three or so married couples, only one can reportedly conceive naturally without medical intervention. One may settle for IVF – and if at all it is successful, may end up with a kid in late 30s or 40s which may or may not be healthy/fit. Many such kids also figure in the autism spectrum invariably. The third couple may represent failure of IVF cycles or voluntary family planning. Quality of manpower is also getting dismal with each progressive decade. Human resources are India’s greatest wealth. In future, there are bound to be issues on this sector as well.

Ageing population: Don’t tell me, we are getting there already! From now on, the senior population may outnumber the younger lot which is a concern.

India is supposed to peak in population in another 20-30 years and after 50 years, predicted to see a sharp decline in population. This is because our population continues to grow as of date. The under-replacement level fertility rate will reflect in our population after a few decades.

My add-on: Even in that 1.9 under -replacement fertility rate I guess, the contribution is maximum by the islamic community of India than Hindu/Christian.

Reason for shrinking family size in India: LITERACY.

Silverlining in the cloud: Never seen before such an awareness for nature/ecology and responsibility towards Mother Nature/Earth. A generation that is more for equitable social justice – unfortunately we have a catch here. This is however limited to Hindu/Christian youth only.

Ban prayer rooms for muslims in all work spaces & shopping/commercial places across India.

Posted on by veeskitchen

Before going into the topic, let me share this profound wisdom on nationalism: and why it is good and healthy for both an individual and the nation and even the world.

Now to come to the topic,

Emotional abuse, sexual assault, coercion to convert to Islam – these are few of the charges framed against the muslim grooming gang targeting Hindu women in corporate settings. Its not just limited to TCS; it is alleged that the heinous practice is spread across quite a few MNCs in the country including the Amazon, Wipro etc. This is highly unsettling after the recent Varanasi islamic grooming of Hindu girls wherein the muslim men posed/faked as hindu youth targeting Hindu girls. These nefarious gangs are funded with Saudi money and probably even Iran money who knows. Let not Iran war make the Indian govt lower the guard against these islamic terror elements.

Ban prayer rooms for muslims in all working spaces across India with immediate effect. Ban prayer rooms for muslims in Hindu businesses. Its time to make it a law because our own Hindu men try to appease the islamic community for business reasons. By this they are digging their own grave and they do not seem to realize this.

Tell me in which other secular country is a prayer room provided for muslims in work spaces and in shopping plazas. Who even started this trend in India. It came as a surprise that textile showrooms like Pothys, Chennai silks etc., in the city were offering fast breaking snacks & prayer room during Ramzan month for muslims. From being appreciative of this gesture initially when it was introduced, I started wondering how many small businesses were they crushing with this kind of selfish and even anti=national trade practices. This by no means is generosity or national unity. These business establishments are trying to introduce new norms hitherto non prevalent in our society. Do they even have the central govt permission for offering religious based services. These permits are extremely important in a communally sensitive nation like India. Extending hospitality to muslims during Ramzan essentially by big showrooms, wipes out small competitors for these business giants, which is pretty illegal. How many petty shopkeepers have they ruined with unjustified sops like this to appease the minority and build customer base.

Let me ask our government, do you have Hindu temples in all islamic countries? Saudi? Kuwait? Qatar? even Iran, Iraq, Syria? Even if you utter the Hindu god’s name in public, your visa there gets canceled that very moment and you are put on flight back to India. Millions of Hindus working in these countries are denied basic human rights to pray and follow their religion publicly, in the name of islam. You cannot meet in groups for prayers. And we in India are giving muslims prayer rooms in shopping malls and office buildings? Why, they even take over our roads and airports for untimely namaz. A few months back, an Indian muslim was apprehended for offering namaz within the world famous Balaji temple at Tirumala. Just what is going on in this nation. Does secular democracy mean a joint account where from everyone can withdraw? Are arab countries personal accounts to be saved for the benefit of the private muslim people?

In Kerala, there is mass grooming of young muslim legal aspirants to become judges by the islamic community, for the only reason of taking over the Indian judiciary one fine day. We have serious problems in our hands.

Coming to Halal, it is a very clever business ploy. In national interests, HALAL CERTIFICATION MUST BE MADE ILLEGAL NOT ONLY IN INDIA BUT IN ENTIRE WORLD at it gives unfair advantage to a particular community like a commercial, to choose them favourably over others ONLY FOR RELIGIOUS REASONS. If that is the case, why cannot India be declared Hindu Rashtra. They want even their food to come from their own people. Want all the islamic republics to be 100% muslim. But secular democracies must be open to all. There is only one thing that can collapse India, America alike: THE POPULATION JEHAD by exploding muslim population.

Indian govt must be wary of recruiting from this ‘peaceful’ community in space industry, sensitive areas, defence sector etc for the sake of our national security. We have this grave situation in India where the perpetrators of heinous crimes and terror activities play the minority card as well as the victim card. Even if some of us point fingers at them, we get labeled as nationalists (which is a proud thing anyway). These Indian muslims have the whole lobby of islamic umma especially from wealthy arab countries and Pakistan supporting them and funding them. They have those like Raga and congress backing them. And of course the left wing nonsense is behind them, cheering them. The atrocities of the waqf board trying to illegally lap up entire real estate in India is a shocking tale of nefarious plots and wronged sense of entitlement. Why is not the waqf board abolished yet. India’s cancer lies within. As it is argued by experts in the media, an anti-conversion bill is the need of the hour. Islamists trying any dirty trick must be stripped of passports, Aadhar ID etc., and be penalised with double life sentences. And the waqf board must be dissolved with the real estate holdings unilaterally annexed by the government. Recently in Tamil Nadu we have had cases where the waqf board illegally annexed villages and temple lands and even ancient temples that were centuries old, using loopholes in law. When will our government wake up. This unbelievable atrocity committed by the so-called minority can be unleashed on hapless majority Hindu, only in a nation like India.

Small Straits: Big Business.

Posted on by veeskitchen

Only last december, we were touring Egypt. On way back to Cairo from Alexandria, drove to the Suez Canal. Its such a small strip that can accommodate mostly just a single huge vessel at any one time. May be ships take turn to pass through this canal. The access to the canal was through a boating club for which we got permission to enter. Local families seemed to picnic by the beach side. No sooner we reached there and were clicking pictures, a police van arrived and our bus driver and tour guide were interrogated. On showing relevant papers, we were asked to leave the spot immediately. As we were famished, we requested from the officers, a little time to eat at McDonald near the place. The cops escorted our entourage for over an hour and made sure we left the place by evening 6-7. They waited outside the restaurant to make sure all of us exited and boarded the mini bus. They turned back only on our joining the highway to Cairo, tracking us from behind for close to half an hour enroute. Really even that scared me totally. We had been warned to skip Egypt for security reasons before this tour. But our own experiences and good times in Egypt made us shrug off any discouragement as we made up our mind to return for Luxor next year – which is not going to happen sadly, because of the developments in the Middle east and our own leaving Qatar, our second home for 20 years, for good.

Two things I realized at the Suez Canal:

  • The sensitivity of the canal itself even if it looked nothing scenic or extraordinary; it was just calm waters without much of action; as we watched, a merchant vessel or whatever sailed through. the beach we were in was a manmade one obviously; yet it saved ships from sailing around entire African continent until a half a century ago;
  • The canal is hardly a mile or more in width but look how it is represented in the world map; it is shown as a much larger strip; obviously the scale used to represent it in globe/atlas is misrepresentative. We have to go by the geographic location that’s all and scales don’t matter. The small and insignificant size of the Suez Canal in reality really had me thinking. Yet it was wide enough to permit a huge vessel to cruise through; may be only one vessel at a time could make it through the canal and ships queued up to take their turns before entering the canal; I have absolutely no idea how the system was monitored or managed; But the regulation reflected it was serious business and was of paramount security concerns.
  • The revenue the small interconnecting canal generated – as a passway between the Mediterranean and the Red seas.

Egypt hardwon the right to levy duties for using Suez Canal from the French; the French whose idea it was and who dredged and executed it using the Egyptian labour did deserve the initial concessions for 100 years; Egypt still let the French company dredge their territory; its a super vision, of an unparalleled level; I never thought much about it all until then; in school history text books, we learn where this Suez canal is and how significant it is, nothing more; Now Suez Canal is a major source of income for Egypt apart from tourism industry. Of course it was a very tough and backbreaking labour in which many Egptians lost their lives; Equal consideration for the French engineers whose brainchild it was. Many nations vied for the project though, that which was won by the French.

All this came to my mind as Hormuz strait makes waves in recent news. It can’t be of such a huge scale as represented in maps. Rather it has got to be a far narrower strip, still assuming strategic importance in geopolitical settings as we are witnessing now. To my knowledge, access to the strait has remained free. Now unnecessary complications may make it a commercial venture. Nations may be staring at a future tariff imposition – if and when normalcy is restored. This strait matters to the middle eastern nations that export oil & gas through their ports situated in the adjoining coastlines of the Arabian peninsula.

When flying back from Egypt, our flight was mostly over Iran. Suez canal presented such a clarity from the low level flying as the plane took off. I think I have pictures taken of this small strip of manmade canal that is saving valuable time and energy for the world nations.

Pray for Middle East

Posted on by veeskitchen

Indian citizen here, resident of Doha for last 20 years. Spend 6 months an year in the minimum in Doha. Left Doha in January, scheduled to return by mid April. Never in the last 20 years have I heard of or come across this kind of crisis that my heart almost breaks.

Praying for peace in the middle east, especially to my beloved second home Qatar with who we have grown in the past 2 decades. What a carefully nurtured country. So disciplined and orderly.

Praying for peace not only in Qatar but also in the entire gulf block including UAE, Bahrain, Kuwait and Saudi.

I don’t want to discuss or debate who is right or who is wrong. The sheer terror and horror the residents there are experiencing is shattering my heart. You can’t be holding innocent masses to ransom. Millions of lives at stake.

I think its by sheer stroke of luck I am out of the war zone. You know something. I get strong intuitions probably due to my Mantra Japa sometimes. When I got into the car to go to Hamad International airport to catch my flight out of Doha this January, I got a strong and strange vibe that it could be my last. I am not just taken by surprise but also by shock that its proving to be true. My puja is still there in our flat sitting pretty. I disclosed this to none. I kept praying to my Devi that this should be a false alarm. But frankly I never anticipated any war in the region. I was worried about our health frankly. I took that intuitive warning as a personal thing as we are middle aged people. Rare my intuitive alerts could be, but mostly have proved true kind of.

Of course Sani peyarchi, the realignment/transit of sani/saturn has taken place in last 10 days. As a Hindu, I believe this would have tremendous ramifications not only in our personal lives but also in world politics. Luckily for some horoscopes, this is supposed to turn out good. Can give some kundalis growth and prosperity. But mostly the realignment is NOT good. In fact friends therefore are reciting ‘Kolaru Pathikam’ for this, praying for benign effects of the transition on their personal lives and economic situation. As an average middle class Indian, our concerns stop with that. In fact I had booked for a parihara puja for march 6th by last month end itself, in a Shiva temple in all our names. The exact transit date was 6th. After that, it was believed that things would start stabilizing gradually. Whether you believe or not in ancient Vedic Hindu astrology, whatever they predict seems to come true. 5-6 planets are realigning and these are believed to have tremendous effect on world politics. Throughout India therefore pujas have been going on to ward off the ill effects of this transition. Every transition shall have effect in all our lives. Every year we therefore make parihara pujas for planetary transitions in our temples.

A 4th dimension may open up for many between 2026-2030 as the number of the awakened/ enlightened may increase manifold throughout the world. Already predictions are there in Hindu astrology that 2026 is to be a very turbulent year. 2026-2030 will see many upheavals. For me and for my family in general as well as friends, whether it is sani dasha or kethu/rahu dasha or whatever, the predictions have by and large proved true in real life. May be not to 100% but to a substantial degree.

Those who have no belief in all this may dismiss all this as trivial and baseless.

Anyway I believe 100% in all this. Praying can have a positive effect on world peace. In a world full of violence and chaos, be someone to add positive aura to the atmosphere. That is what I do.

Holding Qatar within the protective aura of my staunch prayers and beliefs.

LOVE YOU QATAR. STAY STRONG. PRAYERS FROM INDIA.

**********************************

Have friends and family in middle east. None of us have anything to do with world politics or even local politics. We are the hardworking people of developing nations who came to middle east only for some tax free earnings. Breaks my heart to hear my friends’ hopelessness and sheer terror. At times they sound optimistic, at times they sound totally defeated. There is a heavily pregnant woman in my compound whose delivery date is nearing, and there are higher secondary children who missed their math exam this 9th (CBSE Board, Indian schools). In matter of days, the destiny of millions of those caught in crossfire is held to ransom by cruel fate. A couple of friends who dared to go for a walk to breathe fresh air in almost 10 days after the so-called ‘promise’ came scurrying back home after a few more drones/missiles got intercepted by the defence. They have vowed now never to venture back into the open. Folks are sleeping in living room floors foregoing bedrooms with windows. Pathetic. Easily it could have been my case.

*********************************

Some powerful shlokas and mantras to recite during this critical period, for world peace (if you cannot chant, play in you tube):

Lalitha Sahasranama

Vishnu Sahasranama (this is from Mahabharatha war so listening to/chanting Vishnu Sahasranama enmasse can have a profound effect on bringing the war to an end)

Siva Puranam

Rudhram

Kanda Sashti Kavacham

Kolaru Pathikam

and of course the one and only

DEVI MAHATMYAM

Dear Hindus/Indians, keep praying intensely for world peace to prevail and to save lives.

************************************************

A high vibrational friend interpreted my intuition for me when leaving Doha in January this year. The actual line that came to me was about my husband. I thought like ‘I won’t be seeing you again.’ But my mind was in denial of admitting to this exact line. I was worried for his health. He is now safely back in India. My friend says, the intuition meant ‘I won’t be seeing you again IN DOHA (in some time to come).’ All intuitions prompted by Ma Lalitha are to be taken in positive light. Yeah, my Doha life has come to an abrupt end. It breaks my heart to think that I cannot be going back now there in any short time. There was once such a hiatus in my residency status during covid. I hope the war ends, and I can be back in Doha for one last time to say a proper goodbye to my second home. Or who knows I shall be back after a couple of months and we could continue to live in Doha for a few more years… I haven’t yet lost hope. I keep praying and hoping for the best…

India is not new to gold/silver shopping.

Posted on by veeskitchen
Indian Households have more gold 🪙 than the combined reserves of these countries' central banks.
byu/SevexMx inGold

From Google:

The latest figures show Indian families hold approximately 27,871 tons of gold, valued at over $1.5 trillion. This estimate dramatically exceeds the World Gold Council’s July 2023 report that pegged household gold at 25,000 tons.

Let me clarify here that this does not include the temple gold of India which shall be many many times more than the domestic gold held in our families.

India’s Hidden Wealth: The Power of Gold in Indian Households

https://finance.yahoo.com/news/indias-3-8-trillion-gold-181235837.html

*************************************************

Surprised by the world headlines screeching that the whale called India swallowed 6000 tons of silver in 2025. Correction: this is annual silver consumption by India for years. In fact in 2022 or 2023, India bought a whopping 7000-8000 tons of silver. Precious metals such as gold and silver are traditionally hoarded by Indian homes along with gems such as diamonds, rubies etc. In fact during a wedding, mostly the brides get entire puja articles in silver as gift from parents. Son-in-law is gifted a silver plate with side plate. Wealthy families have their entire dinner sets in silver. We the middle class mostly limit our silver collection to mere puja articles that may include big plates and flower baskets, apart from tumblers and bowls and cute little storage dabbas for haldi, kumkum etc. Not to leave out the Diyas. We ladies just love having our silver diyas. I got one for my Diya puja here too to middle east along with a smaller one. Some friends especially those with daughters have huge impressive collections of silver. Gold and silver are the real wealth of Indian homes. Its our family custom to invest in appreciable assets be it gold or silver or real estate. India’s hoarded gold is the hugest holding of gold in the world – not only in recent times. Its been so historically.

Our temples even today have tonnes and tonnes of gold, silver and diamonds that does not come into any calculation. This is why from turks to mugals, from British to the Portuguese came to India. Jan 5 by the way was the day Somnath temple was ransacked by Mohammed of Ghazni after a record 17 time failed attempts. The final time he razed the temple, breaking the Jyothirlinga to pieces and looting the temple gold. Over 50,000 Hindus sacrificed their lives fighting to protect one of the 12 Jyothirlingas (Shiva stals) of India. Exactly today PM of India Shri Narendra Modi ji, was at Somnath, as the temple completed 1000 years since 1026 January when it was ransacked and runover completely. Even the shattered pieces of the Jyothirlinga were zealously collected by the Hindus who have tried to reconstruct it recently. The Jyothirlinga of Somnath was a hanging one suspended in air. Can you imagine a levitating huge Shiva Linga in white colour stone? That was precisely Somnath since time immemorial. This stone is NOT FROM PLANET EARTH. To us this establishes already our Lord Shiva as master of the earth. Imagine now what kind of maniacs these marauders of India were to go for Somnath and destroy not only the holy shrine but also loot the temple of the wealth passed on for centuries. That very idea of Shiva/symbol of Hindu Dharma made the turks and mugals go mad that they wanted Somnath completely destroyed. At the base of this destruction also lay the greed for India’s gold. Even today so much looted Hindu wealth in gold and in sculptures lies with United Kingdom, as the British decamped with whatever the Mugals could not lay their hands on. India’s riches invited the marauders, the most violent of them, but then after centuries, see the condition of their native nations today – from Afghanistan to Uzbekistan.

Somnath is just one Hindu temple destroyed by barbaric invaders for our golds and riches. The idea was to batter the very Hindu civilization itself and make it into dust. Well, they failed. This January 1, 2026, this is how Lord Balaji/Venkateshwara of Tirumala gave darshan to thousands of Hindu devotees: all gold and diamonds. And He is a 6 foot deity!

Only ignoramus judge India without knowing about our basics or traumatic history.

I don’t mean the paper gold or paper silver like in the west. I mean the REAL PHYSICAL GOLD, PHYSICAL SILVER THAT INDIA HOLDS. Without physical gold/silver to back up, what are these jokers hoarding in paper.

Sadly, this is what we Indians are left with AFTER THE MUGAL LOOT, TURK LOOT, ETC. After our nation was torn apart for centuries. After the British looted whatever was left including the Kohinoor diamond that principally adorned the crown of Ma Badrakali of the Warangal temple in Andhra Pradesh. And you have these jokers in Pakistan claiming ownership of Kohinoor. But note: no Hindu great grandmothers of theirs taken into mugal harems.

You are talking about the world’s one and only CONTINUOUS AND UNBROKEN CIVILIZATION OF OVER 10,000 YEARS WHICH IS HINDU DHARMIC CULTURE. Our gold,silver and diamond must neither come as surprise nor shock. This is what we are. Landing on the dark side of the moon was not by fluke. It is what we have always been. India is now merely reassembling, reconstructing. We have been through a 1000 year trauma and even today we have CANCER right within that we are fighting to get rid of.

Without a sense of history or basic relevant knowledge, how the world media is making assessment on India’s gold/silver purchases is shocking. Acquired by fair, legal means. Not stolen.

From Google:

India has also historically been the largest consumer of silver jewelry and silverware by volume. Over the past five years, analysts estimate that Indian consumers, particularly low-income individuals in rural areas, have purchased approximately 29,000 tonnes of silver jewelry and 4,000 tonnes of silver coins.

Gold, silver and even diamonds are part of Hindu culture. As simple as that. This is the mark of the real OLD RICH understood? Old rich native nation.
