US  MIDTERM  ELECTIONS



                Voters in USA had enough trust in its political system to reject Republican 

extremists who were election deniers. Many had continued to deny legitimacy of election 

of President Joe Biden in spite of verified validation of the results of last presidential 

election.There was no red wave, only a red trickle. Democrats were successful to retain the 

control of Senate. Republican party gained control of the House of Representatives with a 

small majority. It is confirmation of the tendency of the political pendulum in USA to 

swing toward the center.

                                                            ATTITUDE           In our life and death  there are very few things we can control.

From our parents, our teachers, great writers, to inspiring leaders:  frequently and sincerely expressing our gratefulness to those who have helped us in any way, brings  peace to our mind.                Another thing to do to be happier is to let go of past resentments. To forgive someone who may have offended us in the past is a wise thing to do. Just as carrying a light luggage in travel  makes our journey more comfortable, reducing vengefulness toward  persons who may have caused us  a grief at some point in life, relieves us of a bu...

ISM      Ism is an ideology held with such fervor by its believers that it leads them to forcefully oppose any system which differs from their own. History is replete with such ideologies and they are prevalent even today. The genocide of Jews that took place in Europe during the middle of twentieth century under Hitler's Nazism (belief in Aryan Supremacy) still makes our heart tremble with disbelief. Under Stalin's communist rule in Soviet Union, millions of innocent people lost their lives. During the campaign of collective farming enforced in 1950s under Mao's communism, hundreds of thousands of people died of starvation or systematic killing in China.      We have witnessed the collapse of communist economic system near the end of twentieth century. We have also seen deep recession that occurred in U.S.A. in 2008, when capitalist market system was allowed to run without any checks.      No one holds monopoly on truth. Mahatma Gandhi's lif...
