Mulls is despondent as he has yet to control impulsiveness, specially in this day and age when people at the top, are evil and deadly, intelligence agencies are worse than criminal gangs, african villages burnt and thousands of poor killed make news on page 10, while a stone thrown on a tank by a 10 year old somewhere else gets the front page picture and news.
Lilac: why do you believe in heaven and hell
mulls: we all believe that god is just, therefore without hell, Hitler or Chengiz Khan will not suffer for causing millions of death and their acts were acceptable to divine providence. As this cannot be, therefore this life is a test for an afterlife and ‘soul’ is punished or awarded in the HereAfter.
Rose: what is soul
mulls: soul is the real entity and body is just a covering like a clothing, when soul is withdrawn, body becomes lifeless and can be buried, burnt or left to wild animals, body feels no pain… All sadness and happiness is in the soul, whether it is in grieving or in ecstasy. Any organ withdrawn from body feels no pain, so all pain, pleasure and happiness resides in the soul and not in body parts.
Lotus: what is your new year resolution
mulls: i will likely stop listening to radio sometime in january, slowly reducing the time, specially on political stuff. Take time to concentrate on building finances, while the entire structures are coming down. US had worst christmas sale in 40 years. Now the retailers in states are asking for sales tax holidays for 30 days in all states spread over 2009, and the have asked the Federal Government to pay every states for loss of these taxes. It is now retailers who want a bailout from Federal Government
Amber: But the compensation given by fed to states is also coming from people’s taxes
mulls: eggs.zactly just fooling the sheep with tricks.
Mulls puts on radio, d j chico is spinning good tunes from moksh in hyatt dubai.
Amber: what is zero percent treasury bill, that is offered by US Treasury
mulls: if you deposit $ 100 in fed treasury bill for say 4 weeks, then after maturity they will give back $ 100 less some charges, it is called negatve interest. This is when people fear that things will drastically change that even cash is unsafe.
Carnation: what has happened today
mulls: it is so sad to see that good relations being nurtured between india and pakistan are rapidly
getting worse, secondly the situation between israel and palestinians are coming apart after truce ended
Daffodil: why should it hurt you so much, that you think of it all the time
mulls: the most difficult thing is to master thought when you lack the type of love that you need.
Daisy: how will you find such love
mulls: it will come, if meant to, else I will dream it up
Mulls remembers how he used to sit atop mission hills in vw passat, recording hours of talk on esoteric subjects and putting on CD’s, God knows where they are.. mulls can talk for near an hour without repeating the subjects or phraseology. Mike Malloy is exemplary in speech on radio, pitch, tone, anger, laughter all worth listening. But his times clash with Lily’s, so I just hear first hour. His daughter Molly, 4 yrs only read the christmassy stuff with so much confidence with dad.
I remember once when I was 7 or so, There was a goverment party for Independance day and my father was chief guest. My twist on the stage was appreciated and long remembered. My father gave me a record player and got records and showed steps to fox trot. Even now at age 92 his mind is sharp.
He used to spend his entire month’s salary on day one. Then would go back to selling ancestral lands.
He sold 28 Acres in Banjara Hills (poshest place in hyderabad) for Rs. 28,000. It will be worth maybe
200 crores now. The term ‘Nebob’ or Nawab came from Hyderabad, they brits called it ‘nebob’s’
Someday I will delve into lifestyles of Nizam VII’s two sons. Azam Jah Bahadur
and Moazzam Jah Bahadur. These two brothers were brought up in decadence.
They married two princesses, daughters of last ruler of Turkey. The brides were brought up in swiss schools and horse riding experts. They spoke only swiss, french and turkish. They could not communicate without interpretors and preferred gowns to saris… some other day.. we will go into breakup…
Zara si dil mein de jagah tuu
Zara sa apnaa ley banaa
mein chavun tujh ko meri jaan bepanhaa
fidaa hu tujh pe meri jaan bepanhaa
