Danvapasi Petition

I have a-thought, a real game-changer of sorts, and hurting no one. Our banks and insurance companies, corporates and courts of law are quietly sitting on billions and billions of rupees worth of unclaimed-for-decades assets of one form or the … Continue reading →

An Enigma called India

Posted on May 19, 2019 by 1929 Viewpoint - An Octogenarians Voice - K.V.Narayanmurt

Understanding India is not easy, even famous historians have gone wrong.  Ours is an unpredictable country, the more the population, the more so. I recall the 1930s, we were less than a quarter of what we are now.  There were … Continue reading →

Delightful Karadaiyan Nombu

Posted on March 17, 2018 by 1929 Viewpoint - An Octogenarians Voice - K.V.Narayanmurt

Must take the opportunity to re-state the rationale of the ‘Nombu’ ritual, as understood by me. ‘Brahman’ (Absolute Reality) for no known reason desired to create the ‘phenomenal Universe’, it meditated, the outcome was ‘heat energy’, which in turn created … Continue reading →

Posted on March 17, 2018 by 1929 Viewpoint - An Octogenarians Voice - K.V.Narayanmurt

“The wealth of the indifferent will be appropriated by the shameless” I believe India has lost it, intelligent and inquisitive people in the west are beginning to look into our ancient wisdom, encouraged by the condescending references made here and … Continue reading →

Ayodhya Dispute – For Muslims, it is ‘heads I win, tails you lose’.

Posted on March 21, 2017 by 1929 Viewpoint - An Octogenarians Voice - K.V.Narayanmurt

The Supreme Court has now hinted that it will uphold the Allahabad High Court verdict in favour of the temple, if the parties cannot agree mutually on a fair settlement. For the Muslims, it is ‘heads I win, tails you lose’. The Mullahs and clerics do not want to take the blame on themselves, so they ask for a court verdict which, if unfavourable, would not stick to them. Continue reading →

Does Raghuram Rajan live in a Cuckoo World?

Posted on December 2, 2015 by 1929 Viewpoint - An Octogenarians Voice - K.V.Narayanmurt

I read the news “Rajan has bad news for savers: Deposit rates set to fall” What Rajan says makes a lot of sense, in ‘economic theory’. I doubt if even his father, a retired bureaucrat, would give him pass marks. … Continue reading →

If Prime Minister Modi cannot help to realise our dreams, no one else can !

Posted on August 15, 2015 by 1929 Viewpoint - An Octogenarians Voice - K.V.Narayanmurt

The Indian context, as I see it, is unprecedented.   The opposition parties are becoming, nationally, irrelevant, except as spokes in the wheel.   Their strategy has been to blackmail the ruling parties in Delhi and get away with murder. … Continue reading →

The First Sign a Government is Losing Its Nerve – No, Sekhar Gupta, I do NOT agree !

Posted on August 10, 2015 by 1929 Viewpoint - An Octogenarians Voice - K.V.Narayanmurt

PM Modi’s Independence Day speech is likely to be a game-changer I have always had respect and admiration for Sekhar Gupta.   He is never flippant or sensational, is a good judge of events and the political environment.   But he seems under-estimating Modi … Continue reading →
