  • The Mentality of the Backward Class in Bharat Today. The reality of Asking for Free Reservations and Free Employment.

    The Mentality of the Backward Class in Bharat Today. The reality of Asking for Free Reservations and Free Employment.

    Background

    I have been Brahman since birth. For the last 40 years, I have heard that a girl/boy from Brahman cast the lost Medical College Admission seat even though she got 99.95% in 12th. Then she told me that in the reserve/backward cast merit list, admission got closed at 50%. The same is true in college admissions related to the engineering field.

    There is one side more dominated by the Political Agenda that the backward class community deserve or holds the first right to educational and professional opportunities in India than other equal citizens of different casts. The reason they feel everything they say is valid is that the backward class was kept depressed and oppressed by the higher class, specifically by Brahmans. They feel Brahmans are the ones who deny them the right to education and keep them oppressed for thousands of years.

    Then came reality when I, as a human being, was seen by backward-class individuals as a target because they got where they are today, i.e. being backward class. Then these people start shitting on Brahman rituals, men/women how they are sexually and morally corrupt.

    I experience this in the workplace, Mumbai local trains, colleges and schools.

  • GEP Company Review – My experience with Brahmin Hatred, Insult, Frustration, and Abuse because of untrustworthy Managers and irresponsible Human Resource Managers

    GEP Company Review – My experience with Brahmin Hatred, Insult, Frustration, and Abuse because of untrustworthy Managers and irresponsible Human Resource Managers

    Background:

    I joined GEP (Global eProcure) company as a UI Designer in 2015.

    The company was overstaffed or overcrowded as they planned to buy two more floors in the same building. But it used to be seen as a time profitability of the company.

    In a few weeks, I realised the company app we designed and developed was unstable and lousy by performance vice. And we were losing customers every day. In the words of the company’s current clients, they can’t even interact as the development team used multiple external frameworks on every page rather than inline coding it by themselves. It seems an analytical page that the company app’s essential feature took more than fifteen minutes to load, which should be not more than five seconds or less.

    There were multiple Usability issues, such as an add user form with hundreds of input fields, no autocomplete, no progress bar, and no step-by-step wizard-type interface so that the user can take a break or complete tasks later. With this, a minute inactivity threshold was added by developers, which caused users to be unable to use the app. This company hired its staff to feed data rather than fix the product, as its clients can’t use it.

    So it was messy. On the outside, the company was on a hiring spree with a shiny face outside. But inside, all was screwed up. And things were going downstream towards hell.

    During this period, suddenly, we as a designing team got to know from our current manager, Mr Muthu, that a new UXD Manager will lead us from the next minute, and HR has arranged for a meeting with the team in the next three minutes.

    We learned the new Manager was Mr. Roy. Our old demoted Manager was shaken inside.

    My interaction with my old manager was abusive. He used to spit curses at every member with statements like design should be wow, मजा नही आ राहा है, i.e., In a word, it should look like interfaces designed by Apple or Microsoft UXD Team. The new manager even outsourced design to Microsoft’s Consultant for around fifty lakhs. But the result was a failure, with the money going for no good.

    The Real Story:

    In this ugly environment. I was having lunch with my team one fine day. A man almost my age was sitting before me named Mr Kadam. He suddenly started abusing my Brahmin Cast with statements I will list below in numbers.

  • A Modern Hindu Brahman Scholler in America & His Salary in USD Affecting His Religious Beliefs

    A Modern Hindu Brahman Scholler in America & His Salary in USD Affecting His Religious Beliefs

    A Way of American Life: My First Experience of Indian Citizen Going Abroad

    Almost 22 years ago I was a student at the Sir J. J. School of Applied Art. I was learning BFA Applied Art (Advertising & Marketing)

    On the same campus, there was the Sir J. J. School of Art & Sir J. J. School of Architecture.

    One story that I experienced and was inspired by was about one Sir J. J. School of Art final-year graduate student who got hired by Disney Animation Studios in America. We all Applied Art students went to meet him shake his hand and saw his sketchbook. We were amazed by his achievements as Disney just doesn’t take Indian Art Students out of graduation as their employment standards and quality of work that they require are high. Disney normally takes Animator with 20 Years of hardcore Animation Industry Experience. But one day out of the blue same J. J. student returned from America after 6 Months as he was depressed saying no Disney Studio colleague said hi to him or waved in gesture in recognition of his existence in the company. It was the year 2001 at that time there was no iPhone, WhatsApp, Messenger, or Instagram to talk with his parents and siblings. So he was lonely at the tender age of 22 years. This is the psyche of a young man who went to America for a better quality of life than to be in India forever.

  • I am married now, And here is how I choose the perfect spouse for my life.

    I am married now, And here is how I choose the perfect spouse for my life.

    It was the year 2012 when discussions about my marriage started happening in my home. Proposals of engagement between the prospective bride and me arrive every month or in other’s marriage ceremonies. So I started thinking and planning about it.

    My society, school or college friends were getting married at that time. But something strange things were happening in their married lives. My seven friends, including girls and boys, were having a divorce for unknown reasons.

    1. One girl was proposed to on Facebook she accepted it when they had their real-life engagement ceremony. Unfortunately, her groom’s previous girlfriend showed up to stop that engagement as the groom had been having an affair with her for the last three-four years, So my friend felt heartbroken and betrayed and cheated.
    2. One of my male friends was married to a girl who never cooked or did home-related tasks or never showed the night at home after time out. Then when my friend encountered her for asking about divorce and breaking the marriage, she told him she would launch a law suite and a police case for defamation, sexual harassment and abuse. Moreover, she wanted marriage alimony of 50 lakhs.
    3. One of my friend’s husband was not doing any job and was physically abusing her as she was earning a thousand times more than him.
    4. One of my friend’s husbands was unfaithful and had multiple extramarital affairs.
    5. One of my male friends had multiple sexual encounters with his female friends before marriage, so he wanted a bride that accepted that allowed them to have sexual encounters outside of marriage after marriage.
    6. One of my friends lost his job because of the financial crisis or recession in the year 2008. Then somehow, his engagement broke as the bride stopped talking with him and her parents. But after two or three months, he got a job in a better company with a more excellent salary. So if the bride understood the situation of a lost job, then disengagement of marriage would not have happened.
    7. One of my friend’s brides was suspicious and doubtful about having affairs in office. So she broke the engagement, and he was heartbroken as there was no clear communication between the bride and her family. So then he got married after one year to a different and more perfect girl.

  • International Women’s Day and the Significance of Indian / Hindu Sanatan Sanskriti or Culture

    International Women’s Day and the Significance of Indian / Hindu Sanatan Sanskriti or Culture

    Christianity or Muslims don’t have goddesses. God Mohammed had multiple wives even from teenagers. Jesus Christ was crucified and then declared god after that torture. After Christ’s death, his daughter supposes to be a priest but then leaders don’t allow that.

    But in Hindu Culture we have Goddess Sita, Parwati, Laxmi, Sarvasti and more who are worshipped for their diety and deeds.

    So in India, we are already worshipping and celebrating women’s lives for more than millions of years.

    But in today’s world women are made to believe they are victims of Male Dominance or Patriarchy or Brahmin Patriarchy in society. New digital media make women believe in playing victim cards.

  • Males and Females in Human Resource (HR) Recruitment in the Era of Feminism / Illusion of Patriarchy or Illusion of Brahmanical Patriarchy in Brahman Hatread Society

    Males and Females in Human Resource (HR) Recruitment in the Era of Feminism / Illusion of Patriarchy or Illusion of Brahmanical Patriarchy in Brahman Hatread Society

    With the invention of Feminism. The female audience was introduced to the term called Patriarchy and, for Hindu haters Brahmanical Patriarchy. Feminism tells young female audiences to blame Male dominant society for their natural human body periods of pain. They somehow ask why boys should not suffer the same and why just girls or women.

    Even with the disclosure of Twitter Files by Elon Musk. Vijaya Gadde from Twitter also got sued in court for her bias Twitter’s social media administration or moderation. (Vijaya Gadde is an American attorney who served as general counsel and the head of legal, policy, and trust at Twitter. – Wikipedia) I remember her saying, “Smash Brahmanical Patriarchy”, out of nowhere. Why are American companies’ social media heads blaming or shaming Brahmins from India / Bharat / Hindusthan for no harm they did?

  • क्लेशकारक अनुभव गांधिवधानंतरचा | Life of Chitpavan Kokanastha Brahmins After Killing of Mahatma Gandhi By Subhash Apte

    Complete Monologue by Subhash Apte in Marathi:

    १९४८ साली गांधींचा वध झाला तेंव्हा मी आठ वर्षांचा होतो. दुसऱ्या दिवशी मी सकाळी उठलो तर सगळे वरचे लोक ओरडत होते. पेपर मध्ये आले आहे महात्मा गांधींचा खून झाला आणि मारेकरी पळून गेले अशी बातमी पेपर मध्ये आली होती आणि त्यात एक उल्लेख होता की मारेकऱ्यामध्ये गोडसे व आपटे आहेत. मी काही पेपर वाचला नव्हता परंतु वरती पटेल म्हणून राहत होते त्यांचा मुलगा होता त्याचे नाव आठवत नाही मी बाहेर आल्यावर ते म्हणाले, “गांधीजींचा मारेकरी आला, गांधीजींचा मारेकरी आला”. मी म्हणालो, “काय केले रे मी बाबा तुझे?”. अरे तुम्हारे चाचाने मारा है उसको! गांधी को मारा! पण मला काहीच कळले नाही. मी परत घरात आलो आणि वडिलांना विचारलं हे कसे का मला चिडवताहेत? ते म्हणाले, तू बाहेर कोणाशीही काही बोलू नकोस. पण तो बाहेरून मोठ्याने बोलत होता, “वह मारनेवाला चालमे रहाताहै आपटे!” पण आम्ही कोणीच त्याला प्रतिसाद दिला नाही. दुर्लक्ष केलं. थोड्या वेळाने तो शांत झाला. त्याने बोलायचे बंद केले. नंतर माझ्या वडिलांनी पेपर वाचला आणि सांगितले, “गांधीजींचा खून झाला आहे. आपटे आणि गोडसे यांनी खून केला आहे. आपलं आडनाव साधर्म्य आहे त्यामुळे आपल्याला ते लोक म्हणत आहेत. तू कोणाकडे लक्ष देऊ नको”. असा सर्वाना सांगितलं. त्या दिवशी आम्ही कोणी शाळेत गेलो नाही. आम्ही आपला घरातच होतो.

  • In-depth Review of Matrimony Website by Anuroop Wiwaha (anuroopwiwaha.com)

    In-depth Review of Matrimony Website by Anuroop Wiwaha (anuroopwiwaha.com)

    I have used the Anuroop Wiwaha Matrimony Website for the last four to five years. In addition, I have extensively used their mobile Apple iPhone app and website for my bride search. As a result, I discovered a few points that Anuroop Wiwaha Portal / Company improved upon to help the community get the right matrimony match for their search.

    Observations:

    Few Points that they can improve on.

    Mobile App & Website Portal:

    1. At every event, they talk about having 20,000 Profiles / Accounts of the bride and groom registered on their portal. An average Anuroop Wiwaha account cost is INR 5,000/-.
    2. The user (Bride or Groom) can’t register with a free account as they don’t support free accounts. The user must pay an account fee upfront before registering to the portal. So it gives assurance that the user is at least serious about their search, and even the user has to submit identity proof within seven days of registration. So in a way, it eliminates the possibility of fake accounts or fraud.
    3. Even with this money of 20,000 Accounts * 5,000 Fee, the Bride or Groom Search is cumbersome and hectic. The mobile app is not full fledge as compared to a web portal. They use non-native software technologies for the Apple iPhone app, which takes minutes or sometimes fails to load content and data.
