Protocol Before Entering Heaven

Protocol Before Entering Heaven

Ten Steps

1.Bowel Wash

First we clean the bowel with a bowel wash.

2. Hand Wash and Body Wash

Nothing unusual but may not need any detergents.

Simple soap is allowed if requested.

3. Content Incineration

All the food in bowel washouts in this stage is incinerated.

4. Head Wash

Most of these items are done by the funeral directors.

Aren't they?

Yes, but the heaven we still prefer a follow up clean.

5. Brain Wash

Washing the brain of rubbish that are put on you by the psychologists.

Under hypnosis a psychologist on earth will tell you that one swallows 3 to 10 spiders a night on an average. This type of false propaganda has to be washed out completely.

6. Brain Drain

Is a technique to get all redundant information like

Positive Thinking

Creative Brain

Logical Brain

Lateral Brain

One uses 10% of the Brain, and the lot.

Then we drain all the psychological theories put on your brain by management trainers on earth.       

They are all rubbish and has no validity on heaven.    

This is the most difficult part of the clean up process.

Then I told him we spend enormous amount of money for these training programs.

That is not my problem.

But if you can avoid these American programs, it is so much the better, if you consider entering heaven.

You mean to say, lot of Americans will never sight the heaven.

That is True my dear.

What about their M.B.A. and Emotional Intelligent Training, they teach in Harvard.

They are useless in heaven.

7. Brain Train

Then we train them to think.

After the above six stages we start on “Moment Meditation”.

I said, I was very good at present moment meditation training and since I was very short of memory, especially of the past events.

But I am very bad at “Metta Meditation”, since we have lot of mosquitoes in Ceylon.

If I can avoid killing mosquitoes that is the entry point to  “Metta Meditation” in real.

Since, I do not have any enemies in heaven,  I have to quit  “Metta Meditation”.

In my past life, I have had only a few friends and I am not sure any of them have entered heaven, before me.

8. Moment Meditation

I do it myself.

9. Metta Meditation.

I actually delegate this part to earthlings who come here. 

But when I saw the nice aura around your vertex, I was naturally inquisitive.

10. Train Control Room

This is for other earthly beings.

When I get any of those Trained Brained Guys (T.B.G) from earth come here by sheer chance and  when they asked me for big favors, I put them in a Train and put one of their guys in  the control room.

I take a break, immediately.

These clever guys on earth must get to very good places in heaven, won't they?

NO.

What?

They drive themselves to Hell in this train.

Hell?

Yes.

Don't you realize that one needs very little brain to enter heaven.

You only need a big brain to hoodwink another big brain.

That is necessary only on earth.

Not in heaven.

Don't be too brainy and he disappeared.

 

My Linux History from 1999 to 2024

 

My Linux History from 1999 to 2024

This piece is an antidote to some Linux Guys on YouTube ranting their prowess on a Virtual Box Terminals. 

While the developers have been working hard,  I was working hard testing their products and was actually using them for productive work while having a busy medical career also teaching undergraduate students. 

I could not convert any of my students to Linux but I never coerced anybody but had a healthy laugh at Window Users. 

They are imprisoned and in Apple terms Jail Breakers.

Even though I started with Caldera Linux and moved to Knoppix 3.7 to Knoppix 7.1, my workhorse was Mandriva which became Mageia. 

I think I started with Debian 6 (Release 6 February 2011) but moved to Debian 11 in 2021 (10 years later), one year after Corona Virus pandemic. 

I was down with Mortal ill effects of the Vaccine (wrote a book on Corona Virus the moment, I recovered from the clinical episode, this Fousi Guy almost killed me) and fortunately 2020 was the rest year for Debian and did not miss much. 

Ever since, I had been  involved with Debian Gnome.

Having said that, I had a brief encounter with Solaris and they in fact send me a DVD free.        

I had a brief encounter with Free BSD (not PC BSD) when the Microsoft Boot record did not let me erase its BIOS record to install Linux. 

If I remember right, I erased Microsoft proprietary hold (after all I bought it, and it is my property not Microsoft's) it through Internet using Live Free BSD session to connect to the Internet. 

Thank YOU Free BSD.

The Laptop has Endless installed in it now. Now I hate Endless OS and it has 8 Linux Distributions installed.

This is copied from a French article and French do not use capital letters in the middle of a document. I would correct them one word at a time. 

I could never had the opportunity to try Mandrake Gold Edition. 

I was never involved in Ubuntu but I had all its versions from 6.1 (Given free by Mark Shuttleworh with thank YOU).

You should understand why have over 400 CD/DVDs in my possession.

Linux History from 1999 to 2024

This piece is an antidote to some Linux Guys on YouTube ranting their prowess on a Virtual Box Terminal.

While the developers have been working hard,  I was working hard testing their products and was actually using them for productive work while having a busy medical career also teaching undergraduate students.

I could not convert any of my students to Linux but I never coerced anybody but had a healthy laugh at Window users.

They are imprisoned and in Apple terms Jail Breakers.

Even though I started with Caldera Linux, I moved to Knoppix 3.7 to Knoppix 7.1, my workhorse was Mandriva which became Mageia.

I think I started with Debian 6 but moved to Debian 11 in 2021, one year after Corona Virus pandemic.

I was down with Mortal Ill Effects of the Vaccine (wrote a book on Corona Virus the moment, I recovered from the clinical episode, this Fousi Guy almost killed me) and fortunately 2020 was the rest year for Debian and did not miss much.

Ever since, I had been  involved with Debian Gnome.

Having said that, I had a brief encounter with Solaris and they in fact send me a DVD free.        

I had a brief encounter with Free BSD (not PC BSD) when the Microsoft Boot record did not let me erase its BIOS record to install Linux in my Laptop.

If I remember right, I erased Microsoft proprietary hold (after all I bought it, and it is my property not Microsoft's) it through Internet using Live Free BSD session connected to the Internet.

Thank YOU Free BSD.

There is a story behind the 3 Fedora CDs. 

 

I got 2 of the 3 CDs from a monk in Sarana road and he did not give me the third.
 

I quickly realized he was a homosexual monk and did not see him again but found the 3rd CD from other source (probably got it from Singapore through, one of my agents in Colombo, Ceylon)

Peanut Size Brain of Our Politicians

 Digital Balance of Digital Age

Peanut Size Brain of Our Politicians

Peanuts, Jumbo Peanuts, Digital Balance of Digital Age

Peanuts, Jumbo Peanuts, Digital Balance of Digital Age
Let me deal with the digital balance first.
Few years ago when I was in Colombo, I did a survey to see how many of the private hospital laboratories had proper scientific balances, in their laboratories.
The answer was none.
I cannot remember well but one place had two balances of scientific quality, may be Quality Control Bureau which were hardly used.

BumiPutra was in charge of this place 
No wonder when one sends the same sample divided into ten portions to 10 places one gets 10 different results or answers.
 

In fact, I did this as part of my survey as a prerequisite for installing Quality Control Procedures.
Then I left to join university and it was no better.
 

I could not find a proper balance for my work.
After much deliberation I ordered one and it came three years later once, I had finished my data collection.
I bought one digital balance using my own money which the university never reimbursed.
I asked for a digital microscope which they never provided.
In fact, I bought a digital one during our strike from my saving from abroad.
During the strike I managed to find a digital balance for kitchen.
I bought that at cut price knowing very well a new one will cost a lot.
This came handy when we were feeding the young squirrel.
The young squirrel weighed only 20 gram.
His weight after a feed was 21 gram.
 

Now to the crunch point.
 

I weighed real jumbo peanut it was 1 gram.
I weighed a local peanuts and two to three would qualify for 1 gram.
 

Then I looked at the price of jumbo peanut which is Rs.120/= 90 gram packet.
It had less than 100 peanuts and one jumbo peanut is over one Rupee in price and that was revelation.
One can buy two decent sized local peanuts for one Rupee.
 

Then I realized we have a Jumbo Sized Cabinet to oversee the plantation including peanuts not peanut butter.
 
I wonder whether some of these ministers even have a peanut size brain to understand, how bad our economy is managed.
 

When two legged Jumbos are in opposition (I think they do not have even the peanut sized brains) failing to voice an opinion for the poor voters (whose brains are undergoing starvation atrophy) I think the Jumbo Sized Parliament is an utter wastage.
