Where Would Trump Go?

This afternoon the Palestinian Embassy in Kuala Lumpur has organised a protest against the announcement by Trump on his peace plan for Palestine where he had conveniently taken Palestinian land and bequeathed to Israel. While the Palestinians protested, some Israelis with conscience are also disagreeing to that plan. 

 One has to be mentally deranged to approve the confiscation of one man's land to be given to the other, no matter who does it. I do not now how other faiths deal with that but in Hinduism, the Garuda Purana has some very profound ways of dealing with such people when they leave this world and enter the other. Here are some of the perceived punishments (as it appeared in desinema.com)

 1. Rauravam (Torments of Snakes)
28 Deadly Punishments Mentioned in Garuda Puran of Hinduism -4
CRIME: Enjoying others property or resources with through possession
PUNISHMENT: Tortured with the serpents, thrown into the hell of Rauravam where the people they have cheated assume the shape of “Ruru”, a dreadful serpent, torment them severely until their time is up.
2. Mahararuravam (Death by Snakes)
28 Deadly Punishments Mentioned in Garuda Puran of Hinduism 11
CRIME: Destroying other property, Denial of legitimate heirs, inheritance and possession of others property, Brutally destroying other’s property and family for the sake of acquisition,
PUNISHMENT: Squeezing and nonstop biting of sinners with snakes with extreme and violent energy and coiling around them.
3.  Taptamurti or Agnikundam (Burnt Alive)
28 Deadly Punishments Mentioned in Garuda Puran of Hinduism 12
CRIME: Stealing, snatching other’s property by force, steal gold and jewels care cast into the furnaces of this Naraka and gaining undue advantage and unlawfully making best out of everything in the world
PENALTY: Sinners are roasted in inverted positions with hands and legs tied over fire
4.  Tamisram (Heavy Flogging)
28 Deadly Punishments Mentioned in Garuda Puran of Hinduism 13
CRIME: People who try to take the possession over others property (wealth, money, land, houses, jewellery) exercising unacceptable acts such as robbing, surcharging with interests etc., would be punished with this punishment by god of death Yamraj’s retainers and cast them into the Naraka (hell) known as Tamisram.
PUNISHMENT: Souls which have been confined to the Tamisram Naraka (hell) would be thrashed until the victim gets bleed and fainted and end of their time period in the hell.
5. Vaitarani(River of Filth)
28 Deadly Punishments Mentioned in Garuda Puran of Hinduism 26
CRIME: Abusing with their powers and adulterers, misusing the official and rulers stature to attain undue advantage and acting against dharma
PENALTY: Submerging victims and souls in a river filled with human excreta, blood, hair, bones, nails, flesh and all kinds of dirty substances where various kinds of terrible beasts who attack and mauled by these creatures from all sides. Added to this sinners have to spend the term of their punishment, feeding upon the contents of this river.
This is just an expression of my frustration over the deprivation of rights of Palestinians. I am also not in favour of similar moves against the Muslims in Kashmir, and I will never favour any such moves. This earth was created by the Al Mighty for a purpose, so who are we to re-purpose His purpose? So, again, in the options above - where would Trump go after leaving this world?

Ain't Goodbye, Dad!

Image
My dad passed away and I got thrown out of the family. Yeap, that happened.  On 2nd November, dad was admitted to a hospital about 150 kilometres away. Suddenly, a family Whatsapp group was created, I was added (!) and updates were made on his condition. It was pretty much assumed that he was dying and probably that hospitalization could be his last. I was deliberating to visit him because my car was not in the condition to travel far. Then, the news came that my sister who lives in the US was flying down. I figured I needed to visit him, in case that was his last hospitalization. And my Gaza muscle man said he can drive me to Malacca. Claudia, yeah, that's my car, did not have aircon then, it was under repair the preceding 18 months. So, it was a very hot 150 kilometres drive to Malacca and thank God Raed did not speed and could withstand the afternoon heat. I discovered later that the car was in no condition to speed. Dad was sleeping when I reached the hospital. The rest w

Living with the Virus - A New Beginning or Revisiting Olden Way of Life?

Image
The Facebook was swathed with memes about learning to live with the corona virus. One meme said it is like getting married, first you try to reign in your wife but after numerous attempts, you just learn to live with her and her ways - adapt. The same is said about the virus. A vaccine or even cure seems very far away, countries are trying to contain the spread - some going into lock down, others have started living with it from the beginning - Sweden. Sweden did not shut down its economy and ask people to stay home. No, life goes on as usual. Number of deaths was third highest in the world during the last count. But the economy did not shut down probably because someone had the foresight that humans on planet earth will have to learn to live with the virus until some kind of vaccine or drug is found. That's precisely what the Indian government has advised it's citizens - learn to live with the virus.  Though now a Muslim, I was a Hindu once. Hindu - does not relate to any reli

Success...The Father Who Made Winners, What's Your Excuse?

Image
Mention Gaza and one would imagine ruins littered in a city which would have thrived at one time in history. Governed by Hamas, it is a land 140 square miles (363 square kilometeres) wide along the Mediterranean Sea, northeast of the Sinai Peninsula. Embargoed by Egypt and the United States, controlled by Israel, import of goods including medicines are very limited. Basically, life there is a game of survival.  In this land which the war had torn apart, lives a man of steel who had made his three sons winners, in their own right. Yes, Dr Azir Shinpary, an expert in Physical Education and former President of the Palestinian Weightlifting Federation, had spent four years of his life in New Delhi, before returning to Gaza and rising into a renowned weightlifter, which eventually brought him to presidency of the federation . And in his course of life, has also moulded his elder son, Raed Shinpary into the first place winner of the Palestinian Bodybuilding Championship in 2016.
