Why I LEFT New Zealand?

 Sunday, November 5, 2023
Why I LEFT New Zealand?

Reasons are many.

1. Number one it is a racist country especially for Asians.

2. Guys and Girls there are lazy by nature.

3. Salaries are one third of England.

4. New Zealand is a very stingy country.

They want only money to be deposited in their banks, which was a hugh deposit.
I did not deposit any money but kept the money equivalent in a British Bank.

5. It was then, a Labour Government and one has to mandatorily retire at 50.

I just turned 40 and I had less than a decade of working life left in NZ.

6. I left NZ after 2 years and joined the university in Ceylon and worked until 66 years of age.

I added 25 years to my Service Record.

I am still active and alive!

7. I missed the retirement plan that I was entitled due to inordinate delay in processing my Visa Application.

8. Had I entered  6 weeks earlier, I would have qualified by default for a retirement pay and Immigration Guys deliberately delayed my entry to disqualify me.

Before I enter into any contract, I study the rules and regulation in depth.

9. I had a job offer confirmed in my hand and I threatened to sue the guys, if I lose my job.

10. They are jealous of medical guys.

11. While I was discriminated in broad day light, South African Apartheid guys were given priority in Visa.

In action and intent New Zealand practice an Apartheid Policy.

12. I was the last one to be cleared from the airport and that was after I made a complaint to the senior Immigration Officer.

I waited 3 hours in the lobby patiently and did not want to create a scene at the entry point.

13. The VISA was generally processed at Singapore at that time and the Chinese woman deliberately delayed the processing.

This office is no more.

I  immediately booked a ticket to London and put a new Visa Application there.

In other words I paid twice.

13. Woman in London stamped the Multiple Entry on my old Passport instead of my new passport.

That was an act of vandalism.

14. I had Indefinite Visa for UK.

I had already decided to quit UK.

I could have applied for a job but I hated English weather.

15. In retirement in NZ Ceylonese guys play poker to support their income.

I could never put a poker face and I was the first to be thrown out of a poker table.

16. Some of them play golf and golf equipment are expensive for a retiree.

17. Play Grounds were soggy and within two years with the help of Mr. Graham Bone we managed to lay an artificial surface, play hockey.

18. I trained young NZ kids to play hockey.

19. No Clubs and I could not play a single snooker game in New Zealand and that is the main reason for leaving this stingy country.

20. They have enough Chinese brothels.

There are many other reasons and I have included them in details with names in one of my books at Amazon's.

21. An average New Zealander both male and female is not bisexual but homosexual..

I missed a case of massive perianal abscess (presented as knee and hip pains) of a young guy of 25.

I failed to do a Per Rectal Examination and failed to look at his back.

Couple of days later on a Sunday, he was admitted and the young New Zealand consultant discovered the a huge perianal abscess.

I was told that the guy was a homosexual.

By the way, same nerves that supply knee and hip have branches supplying the perianal region.

This is generally called referred pain and this young guy presented with referred pain.

If you do not put your finger in (Per Rectal Examination) you have to put your foot in, is a medical jargon, which I knew in theory but did not practice!

That is the bottom line.

22. I am making this entry on the 16th November after the semifinal match which NZ lost.

I am a sportsman and I play the game fair unlike Angelo Matthews.

This is to illustrate REAL lifetime incidents.

Number 1 Episode
I was doing shopping in local NewWeek (did not have good shopping centers) shopping center with my family and kids.

I wanted to buy a little present for my daughter and was doing window shopping and found a little  language dictionary in the tradition of a calculator but bit bigger.

I paid the sum and did not forget to buy a present for my son,too (I cannot remember, may be a musical pod).

Having come out, when I checked the shopping bags to give it to my daughter and it was not there.

Double checked, no luck.

It dawned on me that the young sales woman forgot to put it to the bag.

I reported the missing item to the manager and they could not find it.

I distinctly noticed that the sales woman was bit fidgety and told him that she had stolen it and you better do an investigation and I need my money back.

He refunded the money.

I said if this woman is there when I come next time round, I would boycott your shop.

I did not get the "language modem" but she was not working there anymore.

That moment I decided I would not ask for full immigration in NZ.


Number 2 Episode

I bought a ticket by Singapore Airline for my mother in law from Colombo to Christchurch.

She was supposed to attend to her Visitor Visa and the same Chinese woman stopped her at Singapore.

We had a friendly Singaporean lady and she took my mother in law home and gave a call about her plight.

I took a call to the Immigration Office in NZ.
The woman answered was by the name of Williamson (hope she not related to the cricketer) and she gave me a cock and bull answer.

I said I will give (you may record) verbal and written assurance that she would return in  6 months.

She refused and I blasted her for about half an hour and gave a call to the Minister of Foreign Affairs and he said he does not get involved in immigration matters which was a BIG Lie.

From Minister to the Head of Immigration to Immigration documentation officer in Singapore were biased and racist and I decided not to extend my stay after two years.

At Christchurch the pile of files at the Immigration Office was the biggest pile.

My job contract was for two years and the South African Recruiting  Consultant who offered me the job was sacked.

He told me so (Dr.Van Dyke).

My wife and I did travel to UK (my annual holiday) at least once during this period to do shopping in London.

My favorite places were Summerfield Stamps center and Foyles Bookshop.

By the way, Singapore Airline gave the full refund and I booked a ticket for her to return after 2 weeks.

I do not think I will ever visit NZ again.

By the way, many years later after my retirement from the University I decided to pay a visit to England.

I went through the VSQ formalities and send the Visitor Visa Form to the Office in Madras and for 3 months I did not here anything.

I did a survey and I found that the L.T.T.E guys at Madras Office deliberately delay Visa application forms from Sinhala guys from Ceylon.

I did give a call to Assistant Secretary of Immigration in Ceylon and told him the above issues and if you all are acting as racists, I do not need to travel to UK and there are other countries I could travel but please give a call to Madras and get my passport back within two weeks lest you get a notice from my lawyer.

My Tamil lawyer Arudusothie is no more.

Yes, I got my passport back in double quick time and I made alternative travel arrangements.

My favorite Airline towards London is Emirates and its services are pretty good, if one is travelling towards London.

By the way, I got an email yesterday, from Emirates quoting the prices from Auckland to London.

The prices have gone up by 3 to 5 times and for old age people discrimination is the norm.

Age discrimination is a criminal offense.

After the landmark decision by the Supreme Court on the 13th it is high time that judges give due concern for old people.

Lalith Kotalawala case and his death under suspicious circumstances is worth probing including Shafter case.

I do not think, Brian Thomas had anything to do with this murder and this Shafter guy was trying to frame (insurance guys  should not be trusted) for his own gain and ultimately paid the full price!


Dimbulagala Nayaka Thero Assassination

 Saturday, November 11, 2023
Dimbulagala Nayaka Thero Assassination

Dimbulagala is in Pollonnaruwa.

Dimbulagala Nayaka Thero was a classic figure who was very popular among Tamils.

He has done enough to improve the quality of life for both Tamil and Sinhala civilians.

He has been active there from 1950.

Both Sirimavo and J.R.J. hated this Thero since he was politically neutral.

They feared that he had political ambitions.

Probably not.

To this day both U.N.P. and S.L.F.P together cannot muster 60% of the vote.

Nearly 40% abstain from voting.

This assassination is not motivated by L.T.T.E. and they have publicly declared, so.

There was no political need for L.T.T.E. to engage in such an activity in Polonnaruwa.

However, local politicians may have had a hand in it.

To silence the Maha Thero.

It was apparent they were not professional killers but a rag tag team assembled to score the political objective.

It is said that the killers communicated in Sinhala and not in Tamil.

Reason for my interest is my father in law went there with a team to meditate there.

I was invited to join but I said no.

He was not allowed to go there long before this assassination.

I sensed something nasty would happen having heard his (Thero) speeches.

Unfortunately it did happen.

Adult Attention Deficit / Hyperactivity Disorder

Adult Attention Deficit / Hyperactivity Disorder

This is a common (missed) disorder in adults.

ADHD or attention deficit syndrome is a behaviour disorder usually first noticed in childhood and often missed.

1. Inattention

2. Impulsive

3. Hyperactivity

4. Short Attention Span

5. Difficulty in focusing

6. Absent mindedness

7. Fidgeting

8. Aggression

9. Irritability

10. Excitability

11. Lack of restraint

12. Persistent repetition of actions

13. Persistent repetition of words

14. Result in learning difficulty

15. Results in problem solving.

Unfortunately these habits may not improve but progressed into adulthood and result in loss of job opportunity.

 

Puppy Linux-Easy OS

 Puppy Linux-Easy OS

I just downloaded Easy OS (Puppy Linux) and installed it to a USB stick using Image writer.
Booted it.
Configured Wireless Network
Signed in with Gmail to my blog post.
Finished posting this piece in 5 minutes.
This was after I made a sore comment in www.distrowatch.com on Sparky Linux which comes from Poland.
Using the new version of Sparky Linux is a waste of time.
Thank you to all Puppy Linux Developers.
I have downloaded all active Puppy Linux distributions in less than 24 hours by torrent.
I am Puppy Linux Lover and I am in Australia currently.
Barry Kauler of Australia developed Puppy Linux, first.
It is cool, it has a small footprint and a classic Linux Utility (can be installed) and using the word distribution to it is a misnomer.
Only Knoppix can beat it on the number of utilities but Knoppix is almost dormant from 2020.
Gnoppix is a welcome addition.
 
Easy OS has followings.
1. Container Folder
2. Data Folder
3. File Folder
4. Release Folder
5. sfs Folder
6. Initrd
7. vmlinux
 
Squash File
Squash may be a Linux term for compression when USB sticks were only 512MB. It opens up and expand in a Live Session.
I used a 512MB stick for my first Puppy Linux!
Squash File (I have forgotten the details) is a one long text file including boot instructions of legacy boot time.
Easy OS uses EFI file that requires only 528MB (much bigger than the boot file in legacy time).
Microsoft UEFI framework tried to destroy dual booting of Linux.
EFI is Linux solution to blatant interference of FREE Internet use by Bill Gate Clients who were working with dead Epstein (I believe murdered Epstein)!
SFS files use the SquashFS file system, which is compressed and pretty much only supported by Unix/Linux.
 ISO files are much less standardized as well as uncompressed, so they can be used in a lot more way, including as a generic file container.
SquashFS
 
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia SquashFS

Squashfs is a compressed read-only file system for Linux.
Squashfs compresses files, inodes and directories, and supports block sizes from 4 KiB up to 1 MiB for greater compression. Several compression algorithms are supported. Squashfs is also the name of free software, licensed under the GPL, for accessing Squashfs filesystems.
Squashfs is intended for general read-only file-system use and in constrained block-device memory systems (e.g. embedded systems) where low overhead is needed.
Uses
Squashfs is used by the Live CD versions of Arch Linux, Debian, Fedora, Gentoo Linux, Linux Mint, openSUSE, Salix, Ubuntu, NixOS, Clonezilla, Kali Linux, KDE neon and on embedded distributions such as the OpenWrt and DD-WRT router firmware. It is also used in Chromecast, in Tiny Core Linux for packaging extensions, and for the system partitions of some Android releases (Android Nougat). It is often combined with a union mount filesystem, such as UnionFS, OverlayFS, or aufs, to provide a read-write environment for live Linux distributions. This takes advantage of both Squashfs's high-speed compression abilities and the ability to alter the distribution while running it from a live CD. Distributions such as Debian Live, Mandriva One, Puppy Linux, Salix Live and Slax use this combination. The AppImage project, which aims to create portable linux applications, uses squashfs for creating appimages. The Snappy package manager also uses squashfs for its ".snap file format".
Squashfs is also used by Linux Terminal Server Project and Splashtop. The tools unsquashfs and mksquashfs have been ported to Windows NT – Windows 8.1. 7-Zip also supports Squashfs.
 History
Squashfs was initially maintained as an out-of-tree Linux patch. The initial version 1.0 was released on 23 October 2002.In 2009 Squashfs was merged into Linux mainline as part of Linux 2.6.29.In that process, the backward-compatibility code for older formats was removed. Since then the Squashfs kernel-space code has been maintained in the Linux mainline tree, while the user-space tools remain on the project's GitHub page.
The original version of Squashfs used gzip compression, although Linux kernel 2.6.34 added support for LZMA and LZO compression, Linux kernel 2.6.38 added support for LZMA2 compression (which is used by xz), Linux kernel 3.19 added support for LZ4 compression, and Linux kernel 4.14 added support for Zstandard compression.

Human Predicament

This is a summary of a long piece here on this blog site.
We humans go through several stages in our life.
It is very easy to use animal analogy.

1. Dog stage 
This is the stage from birth to 35 years.
We have no control of our life and tend to do what others expect from us to do.
Yes to parents 
Yes to teachers 
Yes to the employer
Yes to ones spouse and many more.

2. Donkey Stage
This goes on for another 35 years.
24/7 work schedule and no sleep or rest.
This is where Peter Principle working overtime.
One cannot go up the ladder but stagnate in one position at home and at work.

One is made to be important and hence doing the donkey work for others.

3. Bird Stage
This a is very short period of about 10 years.
One is retired and free to do what one wishes.

This is the time people start writing books and try to show the wisdom to other but nobody cares that you exist.

4. Bat Stage

Dementia sets in at this stage.

One is over 80 and your body and mind fail on daily basis.

One hangs on to the basic instincts.

One grabs from walking stick to the dializer to the ventilator to the care giver.

One is a vegetable on practical terms.

One does not know how to say Good Bye and bid farewell to this existence.

The biggest problem is they become politicians and want to become Word Leaders.

A good example is Donald Trump.

Dementia that sets in at this stage won't let them realize that they are "Global Pain Producers".

Like a bat in "Resting Stage" they see everything in this world "Upside Down". 

Exit-Bat Stage

 Exit-Bat Stage

This piece touches the tone of philosophy but has a little flavour of Buddhist outlook.

By the way, Buddhism is not a philosophy as propagated in the West but an advanced life style not seen in the Capitalistic World.

My animal.analogy is the most appropriate to describe the current human tragedy exposed by a tiny but powerful m or t RNA virus.

First 35 years is the dog stage where one tries to achieve his or her goal but many fail  in this exercise and settle in the highest level of incompetency, where as described in Banking Principles (Peter Principle) one settles in his or her highest level of competency.
 
There is no upward climb but usually a downward slide.

The next level is the donkey stage and one only does the delegated work of his or her superior but boring nevertheless.
 
This lasts for 35 years.

The third stage is the Bird Stage (I entered this well before 70) where one reflects on self and on others and basically non judgemental.
 
An extremely difficult to achieve if one is married.

The birds are the best example where they are either in the free stage chirping on the tree tops or in escape mode from the seasonal rain, monsoon in particular.

Our Mynar is the classic example where he/she has a beautiful malady even on a rainy day.

A happy chirpy guy but equally dominating the atmosphere.

Very few humans can enter Bird Stage but they slip prematurely into the next stage which is the fox stage and remain their until one kicks the bucket.

This Bird Stage lasts for only 10 years and  one enters the vermin or fox stage, thereafter.

The worst of all and generally all World Top Politicians fall into this including President Biden and President Donald Trump.

My mother even went past this fox stage until 90s and luckily she passed away a decade before Coronavirus.

This I called the Bats Stage where one precariously hanging on to the failing heart or lung on a ventilator.

My advice for one is the kick the bucket well before entering this stage, since in Buddhist Samsara Cycle, the death is the beginning of another cycle but may not be human but lower down in the animal Kingdom.

Lot of our politicians end up in bat stage with whatever the beneficial Karma left in them.
Then, wearing the mantle of the Head of State or Prime Minister post, they try to achieve things unachievable. 
Having failed in most of the endeavors they go from temples to kovils to churches or from one pipal tree to another pipal tree expecting returns from gods.

Regards to the Buddhist monks of Ceylon, who literally over indulge in TV Banana Bana or sermons, most of them become TV stars in their next life usually in Bollywood and not in Hollywood due to the lack of their competence to put Dhamma to the Western audience in clear English.

One should not apply these principles to married life and one is either in dog stage or donkey stage eternally.

Ideally, it is time for me to exit the Internet but I could not.

I am in Bird Stage anyway but watching Internet is boring now that Biden is up there. He has only dogs as his companions in his retirement.

He should have stayed in donkey stage where he was for 45 years and was very comfortable in being there.
