There are times when we must thread where danger or threats lurk, as is the case of these birds out for their early morning search for food. And finding that they have the probably unwelcomed  company of this fox. How much threat are you aware of having to confront during your daily living?

'Politics have become much consumerisitic, and like any other commodity being marketed, is open to being misrepresented and to the electorate, by their purveyors, so as to more effectively manipulate the electorate.' Politics and the political affairs of nations today, have degenerated to what seems to be an unprecedented low.  They, our politics, and our national leaders are mostly without any substance or sustainable appeal.  No sooner do they, our politics and our national leaders, make their mark, with the aid of social and traditional media.   By gaining the inflated and seemingly manipulated appeal of what the media often presents as the majority of the masses.  And having their 'anointed' leaders ascend the throne of nation or country X.   Before they quickly begin to lose their grip, their hold on the precarious throne. And begin the fall back into the semi-obscurity of masses from which they came. Than they begin to lose their 'anointe

In this video the persistence and ingenuity of this squirrel enabled it to overcome the obstacles placed in its way.  And so it was that the gardener had to up his game as well, in order to win the day/s ahead. Do take a look and elicit some pleasure from this video, which was made for you, and me.

The Congress Party, if it is to be resurrected and regain its relevance, must rebrand itself.  Like all pre-and-post colonial political parties, the Congress Party needs to move away from its association with being the Party of the Gandhi family and Gandhites.   To having its raison detre being firmly rooted in and beyond the current conditions of India's socio-political, cultural and religious context.  It is not fit for purpose, neither in terms of being more machiavellianistic than, say the now dominant BJP.  Or in its ability to convince the majority of Indian that it is able to deliver a better Indian society than the BJP, and should be given the electoral mandate to do so. With the CP performing so dismally during the two most recent elections.   It is difficult to imagine that the Party, or, indeed, the Indian nation, would lose more than it stands to gain.   By the CP allowing it to die and create the political space for a new and healthy party whi

T.: Well, yes, G. That is my belief, which, as you also know, is why I am having this imaginary conversation with you; an imaginary God.  One in which I have taken it upon myself, as have the prophets and theologians, both past and present, to both speak to and about you.   As well as providing the answers I believe or would want you to give to my questions. G.: Mmmm. Is that not questionable, T? That a human should be speaking for the one your species have designated to be your God? T.: Well, yes, it is, G, but it has its benefits and advantages? G.: Really, T? Do you mind enlightening or, if you presume that I already know what they are, restating them for those who might not be privy to them? T.: Well, G.! The advantages of one speaking for you, is that, as I have indicated, they can always frame 'the right answers' to their questions or queries.  They can do so with the feeling of security that you, G, will never contradict them or what they have

Then it becomes questionable when you decide to invoke the sanctions, not because the rules were infringed, but because of the severity of the impact of the infringement.  In other words, if, except for rare exceptions, you take no further action, because, as it were, 'nobody has been hurt.'  Then, taking action because 'someone has been hurt', becomes very questionable.  Drivers and their teams need to know that sanctions will be applied, consistently, if the rules are infringed.   And that it is not they who are going to be the final arbiters, as might or might not have been the case in the earlier history of Formula 1.  There has to be a proportionate balance between safety, fairness and risk taking in Formula 1; as should be the case in all contact sports. But for now,  A Very Big Congratulation to Team Red Bull and Max Verstappen for having driven a spectacular and exciting race to win the Austrian Grand Prix;  notwithstanding the qu

It is not surprising that these somewhat anachronistic political parties.   Whether they are the Indian Congress Party of India, or the African Nation Congress of South Africa.   Or the Jamaica Labour Party and People's National Party of Jamaica, or the Muslim Brotherhood and Baathist Parties in the Middle East.  Should have their strongest, though still diminishing appeal, in rural areas where religious and cultural traditions remain strong. Which takes me to report the head of India's Congress Party, Mr Rahul Ghandi, has recent resigned his stewardship of the Party.  An event which should come as a shock to nobody; not even the most fervent and vociferous supporter of the Congress Party.  After all, with the Party having increased its number of seats in the most recent elections this year, by only about 10, taking it to just over 50 seats.   It seems clear that it is could be going into terminal decline. It is a situation which clearly demands
