Some confused thoughts

If a teenager get confused or get upset with the challenges he faces in the fast changing world, it is understandable.  He has got the option of taking guidance from his teachers, parents, elders and so on.  If an above middle-aged person gets into the same problem, he has got little option.  Had it been in my case, option left out is to seek guidance from my peers, who seem more confused than me.  I am not talking about generation gap, lack of adaptability or any such sort.  Many of my friends advise me to sit and relax, laugh at the incidence or on you.  Things will take care of it.  The sun will rise in the east and set as per schedule .  Still feel concerned.  Hence this write-up.
A common man is administered by the government, judiciary  and police.  No dispute, that democracy is the best governance.   Hence political parties  with various ideologies are dominating us turn by turn.  But the same political parties have no democratic back ground.  Congress need nehruvian legacy at the top to lead and at lower level group ideologies.    The leftist,   which boasts of its policies are now days talks about incorrigible plans and policies.  They claim of party with a rule book, now talks about bangal lobby, Kerala group, in Kerala, they have got Kannur lobby, Travancore lobby, then  VS faction and some other faction.  Narayana Guru and Vivekananda have replaced their banners from Lenin and Marx.  Let us not discuss about what Vivekananda has told about communists.  In pre independent era, there was only Congress.  Because of their policy, slowly communists developed their influence.  At that time, the poor people used to raise a slogan “You made me Communists” which means, it is the congress policies that made us to change our loyalty to Communists.  Now at least in Kerala, the slogan is repeated with a difference.  The communists or people having loyalty with communists for long, started telling that “you made me a BJP activist”.  Thanks, the BJP is also almost functioning like the leftist.    The Party with a difference, i.e. BJP is almost functioning like the Leftist. Today there was Ernakuam Bandh and yesterday at Kasaragod. They have also got two warring group.   The rests are single leader based party.  No ideology or programmes for which they are accountable.  None of them are having in-house democracy nor they believe in it too.  They go on making alliance with most comfortable group (congress joined with Mamtha bannerjee to topple communists, and now ready to join communists to topple Mamata.  Communists  once joined with RSS Jansangh to topple Indira Gandhi and later against congress  and make alliance with Congress  for principle at W.Bengal).  Some group win the election, ensure life long pension, declare welfare schemes lavishly, get kick back and give way for the next faction.  The drama repeat in every 5 year in the name of gandhiji, marx, hinduwta, dalit, adi vasi and farmers.  In the name of liberalisation the corporate loot the country and share with whom so ever in power  and opposition for favours received or to be received .  As comedian comes in a sentimental movie off and on and make you laugh, some characters like Saritha nair, Biju Ramesh comes to make you laugh in the process. The common man is befooled for ever.
Sometimes judiciary tend to give hope.   They give shock treatment  and excite us, though the pending court cases are another comedy.    Sometimes they tend to make some unwarranted comments in most in appropriate places to a common man’s knowledge,  and make themselves a mockery.  We are bound to keep mum as otherwise it will tantamount to court abuse.  Sometimes court passes strictures against government making us happy, but the government conveniently forget to implement it.  But still love to expect from the judiciary much more and they upset us like the justice who stayed his own transfer order.  The people who are expected to interpret the constitution fail to interpret their own powers.
I think the common Indian have lost hope in the third wing of the administration, the police rather they don’t expect anything.   To add fuel to fire, both the people in power and the opposition sandwich the vitality left out in the police.  So they get sandwiched or take partisan attitude.
The left out is in the faith in creator.  Take solace in him.  Pray, pray and pray.  The undiluted faith in him leads us.  We go to the local temple daily, once in a while to Guruvayoor or Sabarimala in solace.We had  a peaceful  atmosphere there.  I have visited more than 25 times to Sabarimala continuously.   Eventhough Politian has penetrated in the administration; the life there was smooth.  Normally we go to the nearby temple in search of solace or peace.  It was out of reach of these murky politician so far.But I am shocked that Politian  after polluting the college/school campuses has now turned to temple committees.  They fight each other in the committees to defame the other group, thankfully not the deity.   The only common factor in the fighting group is their faith in the party they belongs to and not in god.  It has gone to a dangerous level that a recent newspaper reports shocks common man.  The minority faction in the committee  disrupt the temple festival  to defame the other faction.  In the process they tried to provoke the elephants brought for the festival and kept in the temple premises by wounding it, so that it get angry and create havoc in a crowed temple premises.  Have they ever thought of the dangerous consequences it can create?  The second part of the incident is chilling rather shocking.    The trouble creator was correctly identified  and beaten to death in broad day light. 
Bhagawan!!! I adore you, love you, have faith in you and love to be with you but afraid to come to your temple.  Your premises are getting polluted by these democrats  in the name of service to the people.   Pardon me,  for not coming to you and pray yo u to allow me to have some on line darshan.
Yesterday, while travelling from Palaghat to  Trichur in the passenger train, I witnessed  some discussion in the train.  It was about faith.  It is a universal principle that we do not question others faith.  So we have lot of strange practices. Sometimes such practice disrupt civil life, still we suffer and accommodate,  Never a Christian insisted that it is his fundamental right to enter a temple nor a Muslim or vice versa.  Nobody challenged that why Pongala can not be performed by men,  or why womens are not removing their dress as men remove shirts in Kerala temple.  Nobody questioned why Krishna like kheer and  devi like jaggey mixed payasam.  Nobody complained of gender bias when Shiva is placed in the front of the Shiva temple and Parvathi’s place is in the back side.  Now the gender bias of Lord Ayyappa is questioned.  Now the issue is whether shiva or ayyappa, gender bias is against fundamental right.  Now the Travancore Devaswam board  is running pillar  to post in search of documentary evidence or rule book to establish that Lord Ayyappa really don’t like women of certain age group.  My personal opinion is that if it is not court abuse, the Travancore devaswam board should have kept quite and the court take a dec ision  of its own.  Let Lord Ayyappa take care of himself.  What is the intention of the complainant?  Faith in Ayyappa, or a real women devotee really got hurt feeling that she is not allowed to enter the temple or mere pseudo  revolutionaries who are bothered about the hurt feelings of lacs of devotees.  Are they enjoying a vicarious satisfaction.
Coming back to the discussion on the court issue in the train,  a gentleman raised another issue.  Normally Lord Guruvayoorappa likes Kheer, sugar, Lord Ayyappa  likes apppam and Aravana.  But in which rule book it is written so.  If I want to offer a thulabharam  using fish or dressed chicken ( I may be a wholesale dealer of fish or chicken  having made an offer to god such a thulabharam my business is flourished ) or I offer chicken 65 as offering to Lord guruvayooralppa, who can question it.  In Which rule book Lord Krishna has told that he don’t like  chicken.  Rather rule book is in my favour that he has categorically told that “ avilumam, malarumam, bhalavumakam”) Which means anything is acceptable to be, whether it is flat rice, flower or a fruit.  The Brahmin dominated hierechary has made it to his favour like kheer, or sugar etc.  Again mind it, Krishna is a yadav, and not a Brahmin.

Krishna krisha, I am confused.
