Me and my money - 2014-01-09-16-37






So I am the head of the government.  And all the money belongs to me.

So I give out money to those who ask me. 
Whatever you ask, I give,
Whether 10 or a million.

It’s up to you.
Ask what you will.

Spend on what you will.

Furnish your apartment,
Buy some land
Invest in some stocks or bonds
Go dancing in the hall

Buy shoes, buy food
Buy a TV or a fridge

There are so many things, I just can’t name it.


For those who didn’t get the reason:
When given freedom to spend, people will first buy the stuff they think they want… Then when they have that, they will covet no more… Then they’ll think again… What do I want, this time…?  And then they’ll buy again,.. And try that for a while, and then they’ll think, “What do I want, this time?”  And they’ll buy that… And be satisfied with that… Then after some time, they’ll think, “Now what do I want?”  And then they’ll get that… And then they’ll be so satisfied, the needs are met, and then all is peace all around.

Then they’ll get bored, and think, “I’ve got everything on the market.  If I need something, hey!  I’ll just have to look to myself, … So they’ll know everything on the market, and would have experimented well with everything, then they will set to build something that does really meet their needs…  And then they’ll be satisfied with that for a long, long time….

And then of course, if they need something else, they might do a market survey again, and try existing products, and if they’re satisfied, then well, because someone might have seen their product and developed on it, so they get to test out the innovations, and maybe contribute to that… which is contributing ultimately, back to themselves…

And incidentally, the economy has been revived in the process… The money flows around, once again…




My office requirements






My office requirements:

Apparently I have no office requirements:

There is nothing to be done.

Just walk around, up and down
And around and around

Then when you’re tired out
Sit down and eat

Don’t eat till you have subdued the land.
If you do before, it is premature.


My vision for India on 2014-01-09-08-16






My vision for India:

An India where the buffalo roam, and the cows are at home,
Where the streets are unpaved, and made of mud
Where there is some game…
Kabbadi, or Carroms, a little bit of Chess there too…

A land of Ayurveda and Shastras
A land of Indian fashions
The dhoti and the kurta
The skirt and the dupatta

The jewellery and the pageantry

The veena and the table
The sitar and the pagoda


The temple where the poor can spend all night

The guru and the shishya

Where one chooses one’s caste
And is not born into it

An India of everchanging hues
Here today, and gone tomorrow

A new India, every day

All that I wrote about above was what India was

But it is a new day, and who knows what to say?

Then here I say,
“Let us walk our land, from up to down
Around and around
And around again
Walk until we feel we’re done
And if possible, walk again

When we are at peace and the need is met
Then let us eat
And bless God for the good land that He gave us.

What do we eat?
Any herb with seed,
Any shrub with seed
Any tree with fruit with seed in it.
No creepers or climbers please…..

Those who go further and are pure non-vegetarian can have
Animals which both chew the cud and have cloven feet,
Both criteria, not just one

Anything in the waters that has fins and scales
Oh it is all a game
Easily seen criteria, that you can tell,
Just by looking, at the animal

And the birds…?
It seems to me that they can be any, just not scavengers
Define that please
Oh do it yourself
If you think a bird is a scavenger, don’t eat it…
If you think it eats fresh things, like worms that it hunts and kills
Then I suppose you can eat it…
Or maybe just don’t eat birds.

WE are humans, made in the image of God,
Hence we eat the best of all that is there

And the plants which have no seeds,
Well, those are for the animals….


Long live the moment!

Reward for good health






So there is a reward for good health – My government pays the entire health budget to the people.  They can use it as they please – either to buy good food and eat it, or to buy other food, and fall sick, and then spend their money on hospital bills…..

So the message is – stay in good health, go walking, go to a gym, if you fall sick, get some rest….  If you’re really sick, then go on a holiday…. To the Port of Spain, where there is rain on the plain, or to a hospital and lose your money there.  You could rather spend it on games of probability and chance, where you might win more, or at least get a thrill.

A holiday-incentive for people to go on a

A recreation incentive for people to spend on zoos, theatres and other places of recreation.

Or rather, a subsidy for places of recreation.  Or rather the lowering of taxes for places of recreation.

I don’t believe in loans.  If you don’t have money, try to earn some.  If you are just not able to live, maybe you need to look within and see if you are doing what you are inside …..
