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).

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.

https://www.brightdigigold.com/digital-gold-blog/the-magnificent-temples-of-india

https://www.khaleejtimes.com/business/indias-hidden-gold-empire-38t-in-homes-plus-billions-more-in-temple-vaults

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.

Is there oversupply of paper gold as against limited real physical gold ?

Posted on by veeskitchen

Digital gold needs no intro: it is the most happening investment in world markets today making headlines for months now. There is however reportedly, an oversupply of paper gold or digital gold in the world for a while, than actual physical gold in circulation, a point missed by most of us retail investors. Trading/holding stocks in digital gold has made this possible. Holding digital gold is also hassle-free than physical possession. It is said that the ratio of paper gold to physical existing gold in the world could be as skewed as 100:1 or even 250:1. So could this bubble burst anytime crashing the gold markets one fine day? With not enough real gold to back up the digital gold, it is possible that the world economy could be heading towards a crash so far as gold market is concerned. Probably that is why, those like Warren Buffet allegedly keep off digital gold. Digital gold could be a good short term investment than a long term plan, it is said. ETFs seem to be the most favoured platform of gold investment. Owning the physical gold is still the safest way as we know because we are in direct possession of the actual gold that can be stashed away in a vault.

What do I attribute to digital gold working? I, as an Indian housewife, am used to hoarding gold as traditional practice, and don’t fear the fall of the gold prices. But it is true that we women in India hold actual gold in our hands, how much so ever minimum could that be. For us, gold is LIQUIDITY that is matchless. Gold is economic freedom. And gold appreciates maximum, next only to real estate. All these factors make gold the most favoured investment for us ladies. If gold has to crash, then the bubble has to burst in every sector should loans be recalled at short notice, for that matter. World economy will collapse. Just recall housing loan enmasse and see what happens. Domino’s effect. Like a pack of cards, everything has to come crashing in that case. Reality is never the point in the world of economics. How do credit cards work then? Is gold the only bubble waiting to burst? Nations borrow heavily. But I do understand the need to cap the gold market at some point of time. As someone who is in the line of investment averred, gold is not a productive investment and therefore its growth is unnatural. Stocks normally boom when the productivity index improves and quarterly reports show good results. Gold however obeys no such laws. Very much akin to real estate, gold appreciates in value only because of the superficial demand its scarce availability manages to create as against its actual supply. Having said that, a humble housewife/grandma here with no compatible background to post such a comment! But I take the liberty with my half baked info/knowledge!

Can digital gold be realized into real gold? I observed this from a couple of Indian banks. First of all even the leading ones did not have the digital gold platforms that sold 24 k gold gram by gram (or ounce by ounce). ETFs/Gold funds were on offer. But there was this one bank that sold digital gold for a few months which on demand was stated to be deliverable at your doorstep. Product withdrawn from bank services with November end, no wonder! The digital gold sale by ounce did not even last a good six months! Probably the reason is that the bank feared inability to keep up with real supply on demand from customers. However, I see that digital gold sale ounce by ounce is still on offer by a few digital platforms and jewelry houses. The jewelry houses in India cleverly state that your digital gold can be acquired only as gold coins or jewelry from their premises! Well, that means, you can never encash your digital gold at these jewelry houses! In short, by investing in digital gold in these jewelry houses, you are only paying in installments/lumpsum for your future gold purchases! Govt of India and the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) do not regulate these platforms trading in digital gold and therefore investment in these platforms may remain risky.

As I see, the govt of India that was issuing sovereign gold bonds for years has since withdrawn the bond issuances from last year! The big headache of paying off the maturing bonds in near future awaits the Indian govt!

Any other info I may glean, I shall update here with.

What do I think about middle class investments in digital gold. I think if you can take the risk, you can afford to invest in digital gold. It still is a great investment – long term investment in my PERSONAL opinion. Its worth the risk, provided you have other investments to bank on, in case of an unprecedented crash. So far world has not witnessed such a debacle, but let us wait and watch.

When Saner Voices Go Silent

Posted on by veeskitchen

Shocked more by the deafening silence of the world nations to Delhi blasts. Evidence is unearthed even for a bio warfare. That is okay. A time may come when these same nations that side with violent elements would find themselves in the very spot. We all know what is happening to the Brit girls who have become the white meat to some communities. For me an Indian citizen and that too, a Hindu, the face of the butcher is even more shocking. Who we have here is WHITE COLOUR MEDICOS involved in heinous blood chilling crimes. Sociopaths who you cannot even imagine about. The lady doc cloaked head to foot for modesty spooks you completely. Just which one of them would you ever trust again. Would you ever go to their shops? Get treated by them? Have them even as friends? Clearly we can see that the chief target is our beloved Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi. The prayers of millions of Hindus hopefully won’t go waste. May our PM return to another term. I say Hindus, because I SIMPLY DO NOT TRUST THE NON HINDUS OF INDIA. Every single one of them could be cancerous to our nation as these recent blasts have proved. Nobody can love and be loyal to our ancient Hindu land that us Hindus. At the same time, wouldn’t rule out the infamous ‘foreign hand’ in the blasts. They will be getting a fitting reply no doubt. The time and date will be decided by India. As for the internal hand (symbol), you don’t need introduction to the desh drohis.

Only those who sold their soul will vote for DMK after this.

Posted on by veeskitchen

Instagram shocker.

Mostly the DMK supporters if you see will never have humanity. Business-minded, receiving favours without ethics, recommendations etc., that might help them grow, placing them well. And may be benami as well? How fast one’s business grows if you are in their loop. From nobody to somebody. Haven’t we seen quite a few profiteers.

Other than that, the BPL families such as the auto walas, house maids etc., vote for DMK because the party has bribed and brainwashed these to the extent that they cannot manage to live without the freebies and subsidies. Widows receive pension, free rations/provisions, free bus travel for women, etc., etc. The DMK started the freebies trend with distributing free tv as election sop for the first time. But nobody can take their spot in KILLING YOUNG TAMIL MEN IN THE AGE BAND 15-40 with widespread distribution of state owned liquor brand TASMAC. Free flow of ganja/dope and cheap liquor in the state and crimes go unchecked. DMK destroyed the productivity and ‘aanmai’ (masculinity) in the lower middle class Tamils and forever made them beggars at the mercy of the government flashing their bowls out shamelessly for more and more. Whatever happened to the so-called Tamil pride. No Tamil wants to work now. And this includes even the farming community who Sonia Gandhi killed in one stroke with her MNREGA assuring 90 days wages whether you worked your fields or not. Italian mafia destroyed rural Indian livelihood and work ethics forever. This is the story of not only the Tamil farmers but of most agricultural workers throughout India. Lower middle class wives become housemaids in Tamil Nadu. Men queue up at TASMAC and get their livers toxic so that they pass away before turning 40. Through out the day they booze. Nonstop. Dope addiction in 15-25 age group like I have never seen before in my life. Young boys lay sprawled in the city footpaths totally in inebriated condition with overdose of dope and/or TASMAC liquor. Wow Super Stalin. The man who discriminates against Sridhar Vembu in home state who is behind Zoho, wants Sundar Pichchai’s Google now from Hyderabad! Tamil Nadu’s development has got nothing to do with DMK. It is all by software corporations and multinationals. Center sanctions huge projects. Even the Chennai metro is from center basically. DMK’s single big contribution to the state welfare is TASMAC nothing more. Stalin and Udayanidhi personally responsible for making many young women widows in the state and for orphaning thousands of children.

No Tamil history without Kamba Ramayanam, Nayanmars and their Thevarams, Azhwars and their Naalaayira Dhivya Prabandham you fools. Tamil thulukkanukku idhu theriyum. No Tamil history without Tanjai Periya Kovil and Paadal petral sthalams. Sivan sothu kula naasam daa. Nadakkum.

We all know well Vijay manaadu stampede was executed to perfection, don’t we Stalin. You think Tamil masses are fools? Yah may be, which is why you are in power.

How the central government is keeping quiet after damaging statements on Hindu Dharam by some ‘peacefuls.’ If you want to wipe kumkum from your face Stalin, why don’t you erase the kumkum from your wife Durga’s forehead. If you don’t believe in Sanatana, why be a Hindu. Wipe Durga Stalin’s kumkum and cover her with burqa. I dare you to break the Puja room in your house. DO IT. Demolish your house puja first. Also do the same ritual to Kanimozhi. Why is she going around with bindi in sari. Ditch both. Don the burqa. Then you are truly secular. These shameless people stinking with corruption however will not stop from touching Hindu temple Hundi donations. If it is possible to remove them from Hinduism, PLEASE DO IT LEGALLY MODI JI. I think its time we have legal clause to remove unwanted anti-Hindus from Hinduism LEGALLY. Publish in the gazette the ex-communicated list. Officially announce in media, these are no longer Hindus. I think we do need some legislation here. Is Yogi ji listening. For the statement on Ram and Sita, the bloody fellow must be immediately booked under non bailable warrant. I don’t know how old is this video. PMO has to act swift.

Stalin could not wag his tail until Jayalalitha was around. Coward who could not compete against the strong woman who had to wait for her to pass away before coming to power.

India shifting to Zoho from Microsoft?

Posted on by veeskitchen

MOVE OUT WHATSAPP. ARATTAI IS HERE. From Zoho, India.

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

Govt of India is already moving to Zoho, the local desi software, from Microsoft in an attempt to push MIGA (Make India Great Again because we were great for straight 10,000 years not 300). Already our central IT minister Shri Ashwini Vaishnaw switched over to Zoho office suite and set the trend. Slowly but steadily the nation is to follow.

https://www.zoho.com/blog/workplace/workplace-for-goi.html

https://economictimes.indiatimes.com/news/new-updates/it-minister-ashwini-vaishnaw-switches-to-zoho-urges-indians-to-go-swadeshi-founder-sridhar-vembu-responds/articleshow/124053360.cms?from=mdr

Who is running the silicon valley in America. Without H1b no Elon Musk, no Sundar Pichchai, no Satya Nadella, nobody out there in America. Imagine retaining such a talent in India not doing charity to America. Indian parents sell property/pledge property to send their kids to the US for their masters or research programme. Fees could be over 100,000 $ already leave alone the living expenses. Not everyone can find in-campus jobs to sustain themselves. It is illegal to take up out-of-campus jobs. One US$ = nearly 90 INR . So imagine what a sacrifice Indian parents are doing to send their children to the US. Finally when the children get their H1b, they are going to buy house in the US not in India. They are going to invest in the US not India. Indian children are well bred, disciplined kids. Not spoilt like the regular American. So why should Indian kids now go to the US at all. Japan is inviting Indian kids for their masters. Germany offers tuition waiver 100%. UK, Australia, everyone is throwing red carpet to have Indian kids for masters and give them PR (equal to green card). If there is no job guarantee , there is no need for Indian kids to invest so many thousands of dollars in the US. Next year will see 90% drop in Indian kids going to the US for higher studies that some American universities or departments would have to close permanently.

Thank you President Trump for making India realize our potential. Slowly we want to ease out Google, Microsoft, Amazon everything from India and replace everything american with homegrown Indian. Already we had Flipkart, Jabong, Myntra etc., before Amazon came to us. I am still an Amazon customer – for the only reason that my future generations are going to be American. I care for America but my friends have forsaken the American brands already. People stay away from Mcdonald and don’t get Pepsi or Coke anymore. I have never seen such a public anger in India before, for America. But this is all for good. It will help India become more self sufficient and self reliant.

If America levies 100% tariff on medicine imports from India, again loss is theirs. Already I have seen how medication is unbelievably expensive in the US. My heart goes out to the middle class families who will have to go through tough times in near future.

As for me, I use only the free Excel and Word versions of Microsoft that come with ad. I was planning to buy later the package this year, but I will now buy Zoho, the Indian version instead. Thank you Trump ji for helping me make up my mind.

But I will continue to buy American products because of family connection. Other Indians have no such a binding reason to shop for anything American.

Not yet moved over to Arattai from Whatsapp. But looking forward to. Arattai in Tamil literally means ‘banter.’ Arattai is seeing thousands of downloads already and is replacing Whatsapp by gusto. Many of us have moved out of Facebook already. Facebook is out of fashion!

President Trump is the reason we Indians got GST cut from 18% to 5%. I shopped well this Navratri/Diwali season thanks to the price drop. Trump ji is the reason India is looking forward to MIGA. ‘Atmana Nirbhar Bharat’ ‘self reliant India’ is the election motto of BJP/PM Modiji for last 15 years. Nothing new. Finally it is truly implemented now. Thanks to President Trump India has diversified trade and is NOT suffering the tariff impositions. Even H1b fee hike is a blessing in disguise, the best gift from Trump ji to India. Thank you Donald Trump Ji, you are giving bitter pill to India to cure our malaise and make us strongest. You are the best. If not for you, we would never be adapting to Zoho this way. We would never have had the GST cut that has gone down well with the masses. Already BJP could be winning half the next elections. You made it easy and simple for us.

I wish the Indian enterprises all the success in future. Let us do it one step at a time. Let all of us prosper. Even American farmers hurting is bad. Humanity is one. Nobody should suffer that’s all.
