Perpetually Perplexed

ಅಕಬರ್ ಬೀರಬಲ್ ಕಥೆಯಾಗಲೀ ಅಥವಾ ತೆನಾಲಿ ರಾಮನ ಕಥೆಯಾಗಲೀ ಒಂದು ಗಮನಿಸಬೇಕಾದ ವಿಷಯ. ರಾಜನ ಆಸ್ಥಾನದಲ್ಲಿ ವಿದೂಶಕನ ಕೆಲಸ , ಕಟು ಸತ್ಯಗಳನ್ನು ತಿಳಿ ಹಾಸ್ಯ ಅಥವಾ ವ್ಯಂಗ್ಯ ರೂಪದಲ್ಲಿ ರಾಜನಿಗೆ ತಿಳಿಸುವದು. ಬೇರೆ ಮಂತ್ರಿಗಳಲ್ಲಿ ಆ ಧೈರ್ಯ ಇರದೇ ಹೋದರೂ, ಜೋಕರ್ ರಾಜನ ತಪ್ಪುಗಳಿಗೆ ಕನ್ನಡಿ ಹಿಡಿಯುವ ಕೆಲಸ ಮಾಡ್ತಾ ಇದ್ದ. ಈ ಕಾಲದಲ್ಲಿ ಮಾಧ್ಯಮಗಳು ವಿದೂಶಕನ ಕೆಲಸ  ಮಾಡಬೇಕು.  ಹೊಗಳು ಭಟರ  ವರ್ತನೆ ಬೇಕಾಗಿಲ್ಲ. ಈ ವರ್ತಮಾನ ಪರಿಸ್ತಿತಿಯಲ್ಲಿ ಸರಕಾರ, ಅವರ ಹಿಂದಿರುವ ಸಂಘದ ವಿರುದ್ಧ ಮಾತಾಡುವವರನ್ನು ಹೀನಾಮಾನಾಯವಾಗಿ ಬಯ್ಯುತ್ತಾರೆ. ದೇಶದ್ರೊಹಿಗಳೆಂದು ಕೂಡ ಕರೆಯುತ್ತಾರೆ. ಅದಕ್ಕೆಲ್ಲ ಹೆದರದೆ ಪತ್ರಿಕೆಗಳು ಮತ್ತು ಟಿ ವಿ ಚಾನೆಲ್ ಗಳು  ಎಲ್ಲರ ಸರಿ ತಪ್ಪುಗಳನ್ನು ನಿಷ್ಪಕ್ಷಪಾತವಾಗಿ ಎತ್ತಿ ಹಿಡಿಯಬೇಕು. ಅವುಗಳ ಮೇಲಿರುವ ಅಗಾಧ ಜವಾಬ್ದಾರಿಯನ್ನು ನಿರ್ವಹಿಸಬೇಕು.

I have this unique problem. May be it is in my head! Some thing keeps disturbing my computers since 6 years. Settings change. Files disappear. Latest one is firewall is not starting. Virus scan, malware scans all show no result. I noticed few days ago, that DNS server my router was using was 102 dot something. Googling that ip told me that it is a private address which never goes to internet. Why does it happen? DNS server is provided each time by the ISP unless you give static dns yourself. So which ghost set up dns server to private ip? I discussed with ISP knowing too well that there will not be any positive outcomes. I have many well wishers around who want to know if and when I change my internet connection, what do I talk on my land line, where do I go. Even to the extent that, they want to know what I throw in my garbage. Now when I did not get any answers by them, I changed to static dns server. Now there is a log which says my ethernet connection is entering a forward...

We like our lead actors to be weird, eccentric, rude, self-centered, middle aged, unkempt some times but extremely good in their jobs, so that their superiors can not fire them no matter how badly they behave. Where as lead actresses are good looking, young and always abiding the rules. Take Dr.House for example - he is always in pain, he limps, he insults every one, including his colleagues, friends, boss and even patients. But we are supposed to believe he is good at heart and we should commiserate with him because of his physical and emotional pain. Why is there no TV serial where a woman is rude, eccentric, badly dressed, middle aged and of course in some kind of pain? Are there no women in this world who are rude, who do not care for appearances but still are very very good at their jobs. You do not have to have a pretty face to be good doctor or a good cop. Why no story revolves around these women?
