DiviSeema Business Fables : Hari Parichuri & Sudhakar Rao

"Don't judge the book by the cover" they say. Though the cover says Ages 8-14, believe me there is so much I could learn and understand from this book, and can affirm that this is not just for children. 

It is not just 17 Business Fables, but life lessons brought out by Hari Paruchuri and Sudhakar Rao Sir with each story followed by picture summary, real world examples, interactive learning tips, What-Is scenarios and Let’s talk around it.

Children aged 8 to 14 will need help and guidance of elders to solve them. Sir, I would love to know the answers for many of what is Scenarios and would love to see gaming created for interactive learning tips.

DiviSeema, The Land of Prosperity is indeed a book of wisdom leading us to the world of prosperity, I love it even more because in this world Meera has a special place beginning with being an elephant who is among the first to enter into this place and then arriving in different chapters in the form of a Crane, Frog and read on to know more. A very interesting and thought provoking read. Thank you for this Sudhakar Rao Sir.

Patriot of Persia ~ Christopher De Bellaigue

From Philip Sir

 Could the Original Sin have been the overthrow of Muhammed Mossadegh in 1953 by a CIA backed coup. So many dire consequences have followed since then, including what we are now witnessing.

Christopher de Bellaigue's Patriot of Persia is a biography of Mossadagh. He examines the life of Iran's first democratically elected leader in a free election.

Mossadegh wasn't just another politician — he was proof that a near despotic, oil-rich country could transform itself into a functioning parliamentary democracy on its own terms, which was anathema to the Western powers. His overthrow didn't just remove a man;  it foreclosed a possibility. That's what makes 1953 feel like an original sin rather than just a foreign policy blunder. It likely foreclosed the possibility of democratic rule across West Asia.

Did the author take his title from the movie, The Prince of Persia. Or, is it from an older classical literary  tradition of  writers like Byron, Shelley and others who romanticized Persia as a noble, ancient civilization?  I don't know, but the title is  brilliant 👌

Nature , Peace, Enough

These are flowers from my sisters garden once upon a time. But they are no more there.

White Kannikonna refers to a white-flowered variety of the Indian laburnum tree.

The common yellow Kanikonna is the state flower of Kerala and is botanically known as Cassia fistula. It is famous for its golden shower–like blossoms during Vishu.

The white variety is usually identified as Cassia javanica (white or pale variant), or Sometimes a white-flowering cultivar of Cassia fistula itself.

While the yellow Kanikonna symbolizes prosperity and Vishu in Kerala, the white variety is more of a botanical curiosity and ornamental tree.

Nature has its own ways. She has 'enough' for everyone's needs, but not 'enough' for everyone's greed. Big question is knowing how much is 'enough'.

Two funerals today one of a dear colleague and friend another cousin and family.  Time to contemplate, discuss and ponder as the war looms once again around us.

IMO, the biggest problem is 'you' vs. 'me' and not realising that it's just 'we' and 'us'.

We are all One. 1. We are all none. Zero. There is no:

1. Your God and My God

2. Your land and My Land

3. Your water and My water

4. Your air and My air

5. Your space and My space

6. Your fire and My fire 🔥 

One fire will burn all, one flood will take all, you pollute the river, ocean is polluted. To share is the best way to show you care. So I share. 

It is the over ambition for power and control,  the 'entitlement complex' that is the root cause of most problems.  

Death is the only reality of life. Everything else is Maya. Illusion. 

Take Care. Have a nice day. Happiness Always.  May peace and strength be with all.

Prabha Uncle

 

Prabha uncle the person he was , his straightforwardness, simplicity and warmth he had will always be itched in our memory. I can’t forget how he tried hard to stay calm and adjust  the last few years even though he could not cope with Geetauntys absence from his life and with his health issues. May all of you have the strength to bear the loss. With his deteriorating health it’s a hard reality that this would have relieved him of further distress. You all did the best you could and am sure his soul will depart in peace. Remembering him very fondly and  in our prayers🙏🙏

Am sure his Children have a lot to carry and it’s tough days. Please take care.

Healthy Work Place vs. Toxic Workplace

Sunni-Shia divide

 Why did the Sunni–Shia divide begin?

The split began in 632 CE, after the death of the Prophet Muhammad.

The disagreement was about who should lead the Muslim community:

Sunnis believed the leader (caliph) should be chosen by consensus.

Shias believed leadership should stay within the Prophet’s family, specifically through Ali ibn Abi Talib, his cousin and son-in-law.

Over time, this political disagreement evolved into theological and cultural differences.

While the split started as a leadership dispute, modern tensions are often about:

 1. Power and Politics

For example:

Iran is majority Shia.

Saudi Arabia is majority Sunni.

Both countries compete for influence in the Middle East.

2. Regional Conflicts

Sunni–Shia divisions have influenced conflicts like:

Iraq after 2003

The Syrian civil war

The Yemen conflict

3. Identity and Governance

In some countries (like Iraq or Bahrain), one sect may form the majority population but not hold political power — leading to tension.

Most Sunnis and Shias live peacefully together.

The tensions become serious mainly when politics, power, and external influence amplify religious differences.

So in summary:

The divide began in 7th-century Arabia.

Today, it is most politically visible in the Middle East.

It is often more about power and geopolitics than everyday religion.

Economics

 Economics is all about demand and supply, profit and loss, needs and production, world has many countries, country has many states, state has many districts, district has many towns, town has many villages.. every person needs something to take or to give.. that's it economics..
