Habitat Destruction and bird migration.


Habitat Destruction and bird migration.
I was excited and wanted to report the unusual bird sighting including eagles this year.
My jubilation and excitement to see number of eagles are short lived.
I happened to see a young one hovering in my neighborhood.
The reason for this sighting is due to their displacement from their normal habit.
The nature vultures with political backing are clearing the trees of the protected reserve illegally.
Bird have no choice but to leave their natural habitat even before they are big enough to fend themselves. 

I have some collaborative evidence too.
There were three to four species of birds (forest dwelling) who were frequenting our neighbourhood and I was about to boast myself and pat my back and carry a banner to say it was all  because of our environmental drive. 
Making room and fruits available for them to feed were my intended themes for this observation.
Thank god, I did not write these bull shiii before.

I am wiser now.
Unusually the dry season without rain made the leaves of the tree where they nested to fall.
I could see three nests not fully built.
The birds who were getting ready were exposed and the hovering crows made them to disappear soon.

Now they come only looking for food and water.
There were four to five episodes of setting fire to the nature reserve deliberately.
Most of the fire started near where bird were building nests for ages if not centuries.

This in the name of development and I gather with the political backing some structures are also springing up encroaching the nature reserve.

All these time even the Municipality which was run by the opposition did not encourage such shady deals.
But now it is all free with no opposition to raise a voice.

All the sighting were not natural migration or expansion.
It is eviction by default.
Our neighbourhood was their temporary transit.
Evicted from their natural habitat they had no choice.
I am sure I am not going to see any of them next season or next year.
They will be gone for good.

Bird lovers watch out for the fallout and the unusual sightings.

They are migrating from East to West.
In the West too there are nature vultures clearing their habitat unabated. 
I think the environmental minister gives a tacit approval to these activities by his inaction and blind sight.
There are no NGOs looking after the interests of birds of this country unfortunately. 
There is NO reporting of these illegal activities, due to fear of recriminations by bigwigs..

Linux Ultimatum-I am Finishing with FinniX

Linux Ultimatum-Finishing with FinniX
It is almost 3 years that I had being trying to promote Linux.
I am going to wind up writing on Linux from the end of this month.
You won't believe why I am going to do that.
It has nothing to do with Linux or visitors to my site.
Nearly half a million had visited my blog site .
(This is a white lie).

{Only topped 50,000 and nowhere near a Million.
The other lie that I won't write about Linux.
That is also a big lie and I will write about Linux till cows come home as and when a new trend in Linux emerges.
As it is the changes are cosmetic and desktop appearance which I do not bother about since there are so many light weigh desktops to choose}.
 Edited on the 25th of March

Thank you and you had been a source of strength.

It is all due to money and price hike of electricity.
1. I cannot afford to pay a huge electricity bill.
It has almost tripled.

2. Second reason is slow internet.

3.Third is abrupt power cuts and interruption to downloads and my sleep.

 All these due to irrational Engineers who are paying lip service to politicians and bungling in economics and power generation.
Besides rain also failing when there is power cut we do not have water too.
We are heading for disaster like "crabs in a boiling pot".
We are getting cooked for no fault of ours.
We sacrificed and tighten our belts when war was rampaging but we asked to do more.
This is not realistic to me.
Fortunately I have written four books which are available at Amazons during our industrial action period.
Currently I am writing a book on Placenta and its its clinical relevance with any help from the University.
That is taking a big tall on me.
{This is true and I have finished two volumes and the third will be out soon!
Currently working on a book on Digital Microscopes}
The real reason was I was terribly busy to spend time on blogging but I have to break that now and write about India and its turning Tables on Little Lanka and reading stories to American politicians (I do not  think that all Americans are stupid enough to believe India).

Finishing with Finnix, it is a tiny distribution of about 100 MiB with lot of administrative tools and bug fixes.
It is Debian based.
I am currently downloading it.
It (Finnix) came on the Valentine Day with love to all Linux guys and girls and we we married on the day before.
I missed Finnix (Linux) and my wife missed or forgot the day we were got married.
I was one up on the deal.
If you are a Linux guy or a girl do not forget your loved ones, the community and your closest friends.
They need a little pat on the back.
I am currently listing all the little distributions (little book will be the outcome) and that will soon be in Kindle and Amazon.
So Good Bye.
I will be here if I have had good dreams with Maha Brahma helping me.
We need god's help to get rid of the bad guys in politics who are ruining little we have.
THANK YOU, Google and you are doing a wonderful job.
The blog front has an easy and nice face front.
You have done a very good face lift.
THANK YOU.

Dream 27 and its interpretation


Dream 27
This was a long convoluted dream where past and present were merged together.
I had gone back to my past but the dream was in the present.
It is a real good dream in dream word's sense.
I had returned home from abroad during the early days of open economy booming in Sri-Lanka.
The days of J.R.J when we had everything in plenty including free time off work.
Added to the excitement I was alone and not married.
I had come on a long holiday to enjoy the sunshine and this was a long tour outside Colombo.
Unfortunately true to its form I can remember only the latter part.
I had thoroughly enjoyed the holiday alone and I was alighting from (probably) a tour bus and I got out first.
As I was coming down the steps to enjoy the last destination of our sponsored tour.
Strangely, three local ladies of middle age (suffice to say they were older than me) who were dressed up like the westerners, joined me in conversation.
Mind you I was the youngest of the tour party and all the others were middle age and above and many were foreign guys and girls.
All these time I was a free bird and thoroughly engrossed in my own dream tour, did not bother to make any acquaintanceship with anybody except the tour driver.
I told them the present youth do not know how to enjoy life.
They are either jobless or doing studies to old age to get a good job.
That led them not to enjoy the youth.
Then I remember saying I need to buy some vegetable to take home to prepare something for dinner.
They said there is a lovely garden down the steps and there is a section with fresh vegetables for pick and pluck as you wish.
I thought, this was like visiting a farm in summer in England.
I was surprised that, I was away only a short time and the open economy had done wonders in Sri-Lanka.
As I was about to enter the garden they told me this is Sri-Lanka and when you enter the garden, you must give religious respect to the garden and remove the shoes.
I was wearing very expensive shoes and was reluctant to remove them, knowing very well when I return, they will be missing in spite of the free and open economy.
I was given almost a military (just like when you enter Dalada Maligawa, The Temple of the Tooth, in Kandy) like march order to remove them.
They took some money from me and gave me a ticket too.
I asked them where can I do some shopping for which they said when you come up the steps and proceed towards the town, there is a big shopping mall round the corner and one has to go down the steps to the underground level and there are lot of bargains.
I must tell you, I took off my suit and put it in a carrier bag made for the suit in leather and I did not part with it when I dished out my shoes for a paid ticket.
Mind you they did not charge me to enter the garden unlike in UK.
As I entered, I felt like as I was entering the Kew Garden in London.
One has to walk in a maze like contour made for walking.
Except the pathway on which we walked, all round was greenery.
Naturally, I slowed down and was watching and touching every plant with affection.
They were made like platforms and I saw exotic plants I had never seen in my life.
Strangely enough every plant was sealed to a chain like structure that wrap round thier bellies.
As if the anybody try to remove them an electric shock like feature and an alarm were activated by default.
These ladies did not slow down and they thought I was a ladies man and that I will follow them soon enough.
Instead I took the opportunity to avoid them whole heartedly and proceeded to the vegetable garden.
I picked some and I cannot remember what I picked since the exotic plants took my imagination away from my supper and the vegetables.
They were just ordinary to me but the plants were exotic.
Then to cut the story short, I eventually climbed up from another flight of steps and when I finally emerged at last, I saw the ladies in another flight of steps far away from me.
I asked them how to find my shoes.
They said go round and down again which I did religiously so far impressed by the shear beauty of the place.
Then when I finally found the place, which looked dirty but instead leading to a public toilet.
They gatekeeper asked me to leave my hand luggage and took my ticket for the shoes and did not give me a receipt for my hand luggage which contained my priced suit.

I felt very strange and fishy by the time I reached the bottom.

The place was worse than a London Underground toilet and I could not find my shoes.
I was ripped off my shoes and my suit in less than an hour of the final phase of the guided tour.
With the nasty stench I woke up.
I knew I was ripped off and hoodwinked even without any interpretation from heaven.
That is the long and short of the dream.

I thought this was a nice one for Maha Brahma.
Also I now filter all my dreams and select all the good ones and the others are kept in a back burner, in case I have some lone period of insomnia with the heat we are enjoying now in Kandy without rain.

My plants are wilting and drying by the day.

Maha Brahma was prompt.
Before he could open his voice (mail to be precise), I told him I am sorry, I interrupted my dream on my own volition.

Just as good, he said, I was about to wake you up anyway.
Why?
If you decided to go to the shopping mall to get replacements for your shoes and the suit, you were in for a shock.

Is it that bad.
Let me tell you the rest.
If you proceeded and went up to the shopping mall, there is a long electric escalator to take you down.

Normally it is stationary.
The moment you step in it starts going down slowly and right at the center it stops abruptly.

The choice for you is to either climb down or climb up.
Which one you chose he asked me?
I said climb up.
Why?
It saves me energy and climbing down takes more energy physiologically.
Is that so.
YES.
I did not know that fact.
In heaven there is no gravity you know.

Besides, I do not know whether going down will lead me to hell or how steep it was.

I only knew how much, I went down and that distance realistically I was able to climb up for sure anyway.
GOOD BOY, he said.
You are brighter than, the credit I have given you till now.
Not at all I said.

I have experienced these godforsaken things before I went to UK and we could not go to Oval to watch a cricket match alone and one's watch get ripped off and if one goes to Mattakkulia before Mr.Premadasa's time, your gold chain would disappear with a knife point ( no T 56 those days and we knew how to run).

So you did not watch cricket, then?
No we went there in a gang and nobody would try one's luck with us with our macho image.

If you went down you would have been dead meat.
Why?
Those ladies will eat you alive.
They are carnivorous.

They take your wallet and what ever left of you and if you had not had a heart attack by the end of your journey down, they will kill you or eat you alive.
Are they devils?
No, they every inch a human but they are cannibalistic.
Is this the future?
Is it a foreign country like Papua New Guinea.
NO.
They are all Sri-Lankans.
Do not con?
We were promised miracles by our politicians after we won the war.
This is worse then the war know.

Calm down my son.
This is the future.
You would be long gone by then.
What then is the interpretation SIR?
Did you see any greenery in your dream.
YES, in the the garden.
Did you see anywhere else?
Absolutely not.
The garden you visited was the only place where there were any plants.
It is like the greenhouses that are in London.
You know how they are kept.
They heat it during winter to get the tropical climate.
What is the different, in future.
Global warming will reach its peak.
All plants will die unless they are kept under a canopy like structure with entry of controlled sunlight.
The garden you saw was cooled to an ideal temperature for some selected plants to be grown.
Nobody is allowed to venture into it except the scientists.
You had a glimpse of the future.
Human had no alternative but to become cannibals.
What about carnivores?
All the animal have disappeared from the planet earth, by then except a few like cockroaches and geckos.
Can you give me the time scale of this happenings?
NO.
Why?
Politicians especially the Americans may not like it to be declared now.
They want it to kept as a top secret.
Why?
They are already stockpiling the plants that survive the scenario described.
See you soon with another dream and he disappeared.

TS-5.0 is Cloud Ready Thin Station

TS-5.0 is Cloud Ready Thin Station
Linux is cloud ready and TS -5.0 is doing an excellent work upfront.
It is only 217 MiB but oint to point download was painful.
I had to download it twice.
First time 2 MiB was missing.

It is OpenBox thin client and solid as it is with gparted and x-terminal and install information in the CD.
One can install it as a server and unfortunately I am busy and do not have a spare computer to try as at present.
I hope they improve the documentation and include step by stem I proxy and IP address set up for window user.
It is bit posh and has a wireless (I removed my wireless router due to security reasons and have only an Ethernet connection currently) connectivity.
Thank YOU, Guys and Girls at Thin Station developers.
You are doing a wonderful preparation for Cloud Computing.

Reproduction with Beauty

This is a reproduction and it is a beautiful piece.
I agree with all except being FAT.
Practically everything else is what I say and practice.
It is related to  Moment Meditation (MM) and that is all what we all have in common and not taken care of.
If every one enjoys the present moment this world is going to be a wonderful place.
One does not need to be old to practice it.
Unfortunately Wisdom comes too late to enjoy!

I have some proviso's for the elderly, though!
I give the physiological reason afterword.

1. Don't have a big booze, especially one for the door.
2. Don't come out when it is freezing cold outside without adequate warm clothing. Drinking cold beverages is an equivalent scenario.
Staining at stools is one of the bad predicament for the elderly. Which is bit more complex than a cold drink.
3. Don't walk against the breeze.
4. Don't walk up a hill with heavy luggage in both hands.
5. Enjoy your sleep especially the dreams.
6. Don't do vigorous exercise without slow and gradual warm up (this applies to YOUNG too).
 Alcohol causes vasodilatation (that include coronaries too).
When one comes out after the one for the door one is exposed to cold weather which triggers intense vasoconstriction which shoots up the Blood Pressure.
This combination is bad for both heart and brain.
Trigger Heart Attacks and Strokes.
If one is predisposed it will also bring about heart failure and pulmonary oedema which compromise everything that one had enjoyed inside.
 Others also have similar mechanisms except that the exercise can bring about Asthma in the predisposed especially the cold air which start the episode with cough.
Bottom line is keep warm and avoid scenarios of excessive vasodilatation and constriction.
Sorry for the preamble but enjoy what is below which is very beautiful writing.

If you have time read my dreams and their interpretations in this blog and elsewhere.
I have already two volumes in Amazon (both print and digital).
Most of them are futuristic and when one retires, one can be happy that we are leaving this world at relative PEACE.
In future with global warming and food scarcity, would will have a very BIG ROUGH PATCH to which America, India, China, Brazil and more importantly UNO is not ready.
They are putting everything under the carpet and think some of my environmental prediction will never will come.
It is like ostrich hiding his head under sand.
Reproduction
Reproduction with Beauty
As I've aged.
I've  become kinder to myself, and less critical of  myself.  
I've become my own friend. 
 
I  have seen too many dear friends leave this  world, too soon; before they understood the  great freedom that comes with aging. 
 
Whose business is it,  if I choose to read, or play, on the computer,  until 4 AM, or sleep until noon?  
I will  dance with myself to those wonderful tunes of  the 60 &70's, and if I, at the same time,  wish to weep over a lost love, I will.
 
I  will walk the beach, in a swim suit that is  stretched over a bulging body, and will dive  into the waves, with abandon, if I choose to,  despite the pitying glances from the jet  set.
They, too, will get old.
 
 
I  know I am sometimes forgetful. 
But there  again, some of life is just as well forgotten. 
And, I eventually remember the important  things.

Sure, over the years, my heart  has been broken.  
How can your heart not  break, when you lose a loved one, or when a  child suffers, or even when somebody's beloved  pet gets hit by a car?  
But, broken hearts  are what give us strength, and understanding,  and compassion.  
A heart never broken, is  pristine, and sterile, and will never know the  joy of being imperfect.

I am so blessed to  have lived long enough to have my hair turning  grey to have my youthful laughs be forever  etched into deep grooves on my face. 
So  many have never laughed, and so many have died  before their hair could turn silver. 

As you  get older, it is easier to be positive. 
You care  less about what other people think. 
I don't  question myself anymore. 
I've even earned the  right to be wrong. 
  
So, to  answer your question, I like being old.  
It  has set me free.  
I like the person I have  become.  
I am not going to live forever,  but while I am still here, I will not waste time  lamenting what could have been, or worrying  about what will be.  
And I shall eat  dessert every single day (if I feel like  it).

Dream 25 and its interpretation


Dream 25
I was in an air port.
This airport was different and I had to purchase the ticket from the airport counter itself.
There were lot of other people queuing to by tickets.
Lot of them looked like refugees trying to enter a new country.
I had one heavy luggage and a light handbag.
Somehow I managed to get a ticket for the immediate flight.
I checked the heavy luggage in a hurry.
Then I entered an area which looked like the departure lounge but looked very primitive.
I went into a gate to inquire and they checked my ticket with the only computer they had and said I have to wait for another 9 hours, for the flight.
When I asked why?
I was told that the pilot had not reported for work.
I felt strange.
They then told me the real departure lounge is a walking distance away from where we were and there are no taxis to take you there.
It is a nice walkaway, by the side of the Hotel International, I was told.
Since I had a very light hand luggage, I decided to take a stroll.
I walked passed the hotel, thinking it was only a joyride.
Moment I passed the hotel, I went into a heavily buildup area and lost my way.
I asked a passerby to show me the way and he said go straight and down.
I went up straight and ended up on top of a steep wall and there was no way to climb down.
Then by stroke of luck I found a side walk which was dirty and rickety.
With difficulty I finally reached the bottom which led to what looked like a street market.
There were lot of people who were doing lot of road side buying and selling.
Quite like, London in medieval times.
I felt I had been laid the wrong garden path.
To begin with, I lost all my belongings with my heavy luggage at the entrance of what for all intents and purposes was a bogus airport.
I was frightened and woke up immediately.
Posted this to Maha Brahma after the dream 26 was posted, thinking this has no relevance to it.
Maha immediately responded and asked me why this was not posted with the other.
I said I did not see any connection.
Interpretation.
He said this has a direct relationship.
You will know it better when I expand on the story.
In your dream 26 I said one has to follow 10 points.
YES.
If Sri-Lankan do not follow those instructions to the letter, what I am going to say now will happen in about 50 years, he said.
Things are not rosy in 50 years time.
Why?
Can you guess?
Global Warming.
No.
Global warming is already set in and it won't change.
I think so.
It was only yesterday my pet fishes were almost cooked to dinner from direct sunlight.
All of them were floating on top of the water and I rescued them in nick of time and put them in some buckets that contained cooler water.
Had I come half an hour late, all of them would have been dead.
What did you do afterward.
I changed the water with some cool water I had collected for an emergency.
Then I covered the top and side with black plastic sheeting.
Fixed a new filter.
Put the air compressor on full throttle.
Did your fish die.
Thank god, not this time!
I checked the indoor temperature later which was 90 Fahrenheit and outside was probably higher.
Fish die at 84 F and it was touch and go scenario.
Can you have a second guess.
No fossil fuel and no planes.
That's right my boy.
In fifty years from now there are no fossil fuel and no airbus industry.
The airports built now will be idling and the industry that were built around them will go bankrupt.
Soon the the jungle take over the periphery.
But there will be few animals and the entire elephant fleet in the jungle is not more than fifty.
They roam in 5 to 10 in a herd and go violent moment they see humans.
Since humans now do not have jeeps or vehicles and have to travel by foot elephants do not fear humans anymore.
They rule the little vegetation that is there.
Global warming has caused untold misery in this country and it is no different from Dubai where England now play cricket with Pakistan.
Why did you interrupt my dream?
If I left it for another five minutes you would have lost the hand luggage and, you thought of hiding in the jungle nearby.
Had you entered there for cover the elephants will trample you to death.
I had to intervene for your safety.
Can you tell me where this place was?
The name is something like Hambantota.
I got it.
See you soon.
OK.

Dream 26 and its interpretation

Dream 26.
I had a long night sleep and woke up with a very nice dream.
I was in plane and I was 20 years younger.

The scenario played was as if they were trying to match me a girl who was of a different race and quite young.
The instruction was to interview the said person and handover an important portfolio to the lady.
It was very important portfolio and the interview had to be done inside a plane where radio-communication had to be dead.

Nobody could know that this interview has had happened on terrestrial arena.
This was like an American President  makes a very important decisions while on flight from one city to another.
I did not ask why they selected me for this interview as the interviewer.
It was top secret mission.
The opening scenario was like matchmaking and hitchhiking.
I was introduced to the lady who looked smart by his brother.
He was teasing her and saying that she ought to be able to play good old games and not modern games.
There was a obvious a generation gap and I felt old myself.

My opening question was could she play card games.
She looked at her brother and said, that 94, Ormie ans 304 (last two are  Sir-Lankan card games and the first one I have never heard, before).

Then I asked can you play bridge?
She said no.
That's very good.
Why?
You may be able to make a nice cup of tea or coffee, instead of teasing your brain with bride contracts.
Then I was woken up quite pleased but baffled

Today is our Independence Day and this must surely have some important logic.

I immediately I posted this to Maha Brahma. 

The dream I had before this dream was kept in reserve for a future date.
As usual Maha was prompt in his M.V.M (Maha's Vice Mail).

I asked him, why did you interrupt the dream.
I did not, he said.
You may have interrupted it fearing a heart attack with the possibility of a match making with a girl half of your age.

I said it is a done thing nowadays in this country and the fellow dies soon and the girl inherits everything what the first wife would have got.

I said I was interviewing for an important protocol and it was not light hearted.
I said I was crossed with that interruption, with whoever who did it in the first instance.

Then he said, it is most likely a politician who had tapped into your system.
Why?
I have no political inclinations.
But you love peace, don't you?
YES, everybody likes PEACE.
Do you like to hear the interpretation.
Yes.

Interpretation.
Do you have any dealing with A.P.C.
I do not belong to any party and I have no connection to All Party Conference
Besides I am am not a MP but a good citizen by descent but have no role to play.
You are wrong.
In your dream you were selected as the best person to represent ordinary people.
You had a 10 point plan.
Did I?
All of them are good but politicians hate your proposals.
That may have been the reason for interruption to your dream.
I told him I cannot remember anything about the 10 points.
Calm down my boy.
I have recorded them for you.

Can you state them slowly.
Why?
I want to write them in a piece of paper and post them in my blog post.
Can I state the copyright belongs to you.
Why?
Media freedom is available only to a few in government guys like FBI, with this SOAP operation, in full swing in America.

Is it globally applicable.
YES.

Are you ready?
Yes, SIR

1. Number 1
Abolish the Presidency.
My heavens!
How can we do that?
This, American president can take any country to his palm and decide its fate now or never.
Why never?
If the country does not listen he can decimate it with a press of a button.
One nuclear arsenal is enough but some countries like Israel are protected.
Why?
I do not know?
Ask the president and the secretary.
Can this be applied to Sri-Lanka.
You got to be kidding!


2. Number 2
Do not have a National Flag.
That is a wonderful idea.
Why?
We do not have to hoist it on a cold January morning and only two third will rise to it and one third will not.
In times of war it is one less item to be carried to the war front.
Besides American would be spared of this gesture of burning it in front of their embassy with religious flavour.
What about the UNO?
If we do not have national flags UNO could be closed for good.
That is excellent predicament. 

3. Number 3
Abolish all political parties.
I don't like it Sir.
Why?
Two reasons, Sir.
We become a one party state.
Second we will not have the fun of watching the ruling party making all the tricks to destroy the aspiring opposition.
Beside we do not watch cricket now and this is the only game to watch on daily basis.
Without politics people will starve to death.
If coconut goes to Rs.100/= we have a party to blame, especially those who are in power.
I do not like that idea at all.
We all are political animals.


4. Number 4
Ban all the National Anthems.
That is a very good idea.
Why?
We can start a football game or any game without hoisting the flag and the anthem.
We can finish all the games five minutes early even if one is watching them on TV.
If we count the number of games played in and year and multiply by five we have an enormous saving for productive work for one's own country.

Do you have national anthem in heaven.
NOPE.

5. Number 5
Ban allocating colours to political parties and countries.
I do not see any advantage of that at all in that proposal.
This is an environmentally friendly gesture.
The we will have only greens and nothing else.
Besides it saves lot in paint usage for political purposes.
Colours are only for the advertisement industry.
Every time a government changes the industry guys / girls do not have to paint their business place with the colour of the ruling party.
I am sorry I did not think that way.

6. Number 6
Cancel Elections
This comes as a collateral advantage of not having parties.

7. Number 7
Have one universal language.
I am not going to propose any current language.
It should be like a computer language.

8. Number 8
Cancel the Z-score
That is very exciting.
How do we conduct examinations?
I have a very simple solution.
Give a common paper.
If all the students do not get 100 out of 100, sack the teacher.
Then re-train the teachers to teach.
That looks promising.

9. Number 9.
Close all universities for good.
That is very retrogressive know?
No it will save lot of agony for the current government.
There is no minister.
There are no professors.
There are no salary issues.
There are no industrial actions.
Then what happens to me.

Go and start treating patients instead of teaching good values.

What are you going to do with the money saved?
That is a very good question.

10. Number 10
Ban all weapons of destruction globally.

The money saved should be used to teach this.
That is the only education mankind needs now.
All these schools should be raised to University Level.
Only have one professorship.
That is the Professor of Peace at all times.

Then all these institutes like Amnesty International and the N.G.Os who are selling Peace for Money will cease to exist and world peace will prosper.

Dream 24 and its interpretation

Dream 24
This another dream that came out of the blue.
It is related to celluloid stars both current and aspiring to be.
Setting probably is in India and could very well be in Ceylon with so much Indian interventions from fishing trawlers to foreign ministers.
It is all about a mega advertisement.
First part of the dream was hazy.
It was related to a mega billboard of a current celluloid (male) star and a new comer (female).
The current star asked for a huge payment and the new comer was given only a fraction of the contract. In addition the designers of the billboard was also given a percentage according to the number of billboard that were displayed.
It was not clear who was contributing the money for the project.
For some reason the designers did not get their portion and that portion was also gulped by the mega star.
It was a lucrative deal anyway.
The the star came for another billboard contract.
This time the young female star had to expose more than what was desirable for an average screen print.
Since the star made a huge income the designers decided to ask for a loan from his previous income.
With some reluctance he agreed.
The female star agreed on the contract which was not shown to the mega star.
The female star had a plot to disgrace the guy who was arrogant to say the least.
She was not ready to expose that much cheaply but agreed on only one display print on contract document.
She also had a secret deal with the designers, if additional copies were made they should be made on paper that was light and heat sensitive.
In other words it was for indoor display only.
This was not told to the mega star and he was not bothered anyway.
He was given the proof read on proper heat and light resistant paint.
He was happy and ordered a large number of copies for outdoor display.
The interesting thing about the ploy was when the display was let out in the open in three to four hours the nude part of the female star disappeared leaving behind no trace of her image.
In 24 hours a silhouette of the mega star was visible and with a small print below "this screen print is only for indoor display".
In 24 hours it became a national story.
The mega star rushed to the designers and they did not budge and inch away from the contract, He went away grinding his teeth.
Nobody would sign a contract with him thereafter and the designers got their money worth and the popularity they needed for future contracts.
On face value it is a nice Tele-Drama ploy but I wonder how Maha will react to the dream.
Immediately posted email to Maha Brahma.
He exchanged niceties and said you were not a Zombie this time.
I said the mega star was the zombie.
I asked him whether there was a second part to the dream and did the star go to courts.
To which he gave a negative response.
Interpretation.
He said the interpretation was bit political and futuristic.
In future all the activities of politicians are videoed by law, day and night and if they fancy dancing with nude girls, they have to apply a light absorbing dye (like what one sees in black holes in the universe).
These light absorbing dye has activity that last about an hour and they are very costly and produced only for politicians in high office.
They are more costly than gold or titanium and actually the metal is imported from black holes by American astronauts.
Only rightful user of this rare metal is the American President who is current.
Fortunately rest of the American senators who aspire to become presidents do not care a damn to the video footage's and the American public get all the videos relayed by satellites for daily consumption.
