My Jail Experience

I want to sincerely thank every one of you who worked diligently to get me out of the situation so that I could get back to life again! Without your help I would probably rot in that place. Well they kept me there and since the warrant is from Travis county a police van will come from Austin to pick me up and put in their holding facility. I will be there until the next court date. Only the bond will help me get out and see sunlight again. And be able to have access to my phone and move around freely.

The first thing you lose in a place like that is the concept of time. There is no clocks anywhere and there are no windows to see outside. The light will be fully shining bright even during sleeping. The food was just canned beans, a corn bread sometimes seeetened sometimes not, porridge, cooked rice and a blob of meat patty put on top and some sauce poured over it. All in a dimpled plastic tray looking thing. I just eat beans out of the can and the corn bread. Survived on just that doe the two days. So many interesting stories to tell. I was observing everything detached and never felt scared or depressed. Everything was new, never seen stuff and ways of government, no niceties, just harshness. It is sad to see what kind is people go there. Little things is all it take to get there.

Putting on the handcuffs is the little disappointing at first but will get used to it fast. Multiple times it is take out and put it in. Always on handcuffs when transporting.

Bed to sleep was better than the one I was sleeping in india! Ha ha. That prepared me for everything. Water sink is above the potty - all one single stainless steel piece. Initially so demeaning but no choice but to drink water from it standing on top of the stainless steel potty.

Actually I am so glad that I was out through the ringer. It is very demeaning from start to finish. I was waiting for my name to be called every minute to take me out of that place. There are over 500 people in there. It is very similar to some movies I saw. Open area to eat, the supervisor can see every cell. Each cell has two people with a double  bunk bed. The door is remotely closed and open. Let out only during breakfast lunch and dinner time. Mornings will get to be outside in the dining area where chess and paying cards are available. Made a few friends asked about how they all got there and so many interesting stories. Some of them are there for months! I was there just for 1 day only, thanks to you all and esp Nikhil who was willing to put up $1000 of his own money for my freedom.

It is interesting that America is the land of Freedom whole most incarcerated people in the world!

Some of them are mental health patients, some are found with 10 gms of gummy bears or more than 5 gms of marijuana. Some are hardcore meth addicts. Some are men who have scorned their girlfriends or wives.

There was a manager of a software company doing web security pulling in 300k a year. Wife got him in.

Another guy - a lineman - who install overhead power lines making $200k a year - his ex turned him. Sad stories

My room mate cry and laughter out loud during night time. A total mental health case. He begged for my food and I gave it to him and went hungry. This is after he eating his own dinner. He was in for terrorist threat - he should be in a mental institution and  not in jail. Poor thing.

Most are black people. 2 or three white. I was the ONLY indian. Couple of people in wheelchairs

The server , a black guy saw me and asked why are you here. Your kind are not supposed to be here!

First day was at a holding facility by thr airport. Good food, nice new bed blanket is a Mylar sheet which runners would wrap themselves with after a marathon run. So steamy inside. When booked at the county jail - transported  there in a van with 15 other inmates.

After mugshotting and tv test and medical inquiries was given jail clothes. A onesie. Had to take all clothes off including shoes. Has to wear their chappels and rough cotton dark green onesie. But not the striped kind. It has Tarrant county jail written on the back. Ever the underwear has to be removed and has to wear their rough cotton underwear. For most people I guess it feels humiliating but for me I was enjoying this experience and observing how everything works in US jails.

My picture can be seen on arrests.org website for the day of 8th Nov I think. For the whole world to see ha ha.

A very good experience to go through. Knowing that I will be bonded out from there made it ok, but the wait was painful.

I can see jail will be a better life for homeless people than being outside in the cold/heat where this jail was cooler inside - not sure if they have heater. One guy who had been to many jails told he this is the best jail he has ever been.  He said it feels like luxury

So when I got out had to go to the bonding place do some paperwork. Then went to airport and found out that they can’t put me on another flight without buying a new ticket. I had to buy on the spot and had to pay $200 because the American Airlines lady used her debit card to pay for the ticket since I lost my wallet in the process. Paid her like $20 as tip.

Loneliness vs Aloneness(Solitude)

 The word loneliness means you are seeking someone else to give you happiness. This is an aberrated state of mind. You should convert that to aloneness, or solitude, which is very productive, one can focus on oneself, your health, what you need to get done, and be happy in your own skin. Practice mindfulness, and celebrate you! You don't need anyone's company to give you happiness. This dependency is because you were used to someone and that person is not there. Once you focus on yourself that depression will disappear like the fog in the morning sun.

Also find happiness in the things around you - get out and look around search for plants and flowers and trees. Go hug a tree when you find one, make tree your friend. Enjoy the flowers blooming, Enjoy the plant itself, examine it, go see some water bodies, watch the birds around you, see how they sound, their color, what kind of noice they are making. Find happiness in seeing the grass blades sway in the wind. Watch morning sunrise, and evening sunset, look up and see the clouds, see what kind of forms you can see, night time, look up the sky and see the stars and planets. So many things to be happy and be celebrating for in this world every second, you REALLY DON'T NEED ANYONE OR NEED TO SOCIALIZE to find happiness. Of course socializing do make one feel good.

Moving towards Anarchy, better for the society?

Recently my thoughts are, what if we continue to function as a society as is, and slowly take away governance from our civic life. What would happen? Think deeply and thoroughly before deciding to eliminate governmental bodies and organization which might not be impacting our day to day lives.

In reality, do we need elected officials? Is democracy a thing of the past? Can't we live a good live with the essential bueraracy?
Saves us a ton of money! And saves us from all the foolishness goes on the front pages of newspapers would be replaced with substantiative material which would be useful for people. It could even lead up to molding a better society.

Let the Freedom Ring - July 4th

We are approaching the day of celebrating the freedom of our country.
I would like to bring to the attention millions of people being incarcerated in America, for petty things and held back in prisons with long sentences.
I think we need to take this time to unwind ourselves out of this incarceration industry, and turn our empty prison cells into classrooms or vocational training centers so that one can 

musings

Movie The Rat Race
I have watched the movie last night about the rat catchers of Mumbai, brought it by a new group in Austin, Inde Meme. This is my thoughts about this movie.
This movie showcases the filth and squalor of India. And the pain of youth in India who seem to have no future. In one way, if you look at the plan of the city to hire men to kill 30 rats a day for a month, and get paid Rs. 10,000 is a lot of money for the work. It might not take too long to kill 30 rats I presume, since they are plenty running around. That would kind of make it 111 rupees per rat kids, a great deal of money, if you ask me. No wonder there are two thousand people applying for thirty positions.
A land where rat is the vehicle of Lord Ganesha and revered, the rats being mercilessly killed by hitting them on their head is the contrast of the spirrt of the city. This should not have been acceptable to the people in that city.  People seem to have no sensitivity or sanctity towards life itself. Rats are living beings too, if they cause problem, it should be controlled through humane means. Like catching rats and sterilizing them and tracking them. Instead of killing 30 of them, if they sterilize 300 of them every night, that would have reduced the population of rats. Or most importantly, spending that 10,000 rupees, or 300,000 rupees a month on proper garbage disposal. That alone would have reduced the number of rats to a minimum. When there is no food to eat, the population reduces. Before ever any attempt to control the rats extensive planning need to be undertaken about controlling rats. The citizens of the city need be involved asking their ideas about rat control, and directly participating them in the process. The rat population control need to be attacked from all fronts, cleanliness to begin with.

How to handle difficult times!

 
How to handle challenging times

After pandemic world is going through difficult times. Inflation touches every part of our lives around the world. No one is immune from that. Interest rates are high, prices are high including astronomically high home prices. Being in the business of Real Estate and Mortgage, everyone in this industry is suffering. 

But there are people who will still be successful in any environment. This story is to respect and celebrate the successful people. Maybe we all can learn and internalize this story.

Chicken and her youngs

A long time ago, there lived in a communion, a group of chickens. Everyone was doing good, had plenty to eat and drink, and everyone was merry. They were very happy raising more kids and generally happy to be fortunate living in the land of plenty. There was enough worms and more for the hens, roosters and the chicks. They are all very healthy and happy due to the abundance of food. After a while hard times struck. 

The seasonal rain which helped everything to prosper - the plants the animals - it did not rain that time. Plants and trees were starting to dry. The soft moist earth has hardened, and sadness fell upon the chicken community. Their food disappeared, and everyone is finding hard time to eat even one meal a day. They were crestfallen. The hens were depressed of the fact that their little ones had not much to eat. 

Then there was one hen, and her chicks still doing very well! The chicks had enough and more to eat, and the hen seems to be very contented.

The other hens who was watching her was very puzzled. They wanted to find out why she is happy and can feed her kids when all the rest are suffering.

They went up to her and asked 'Hello dear hen, there is drought and we don't have enough to eat, but you seem to be happy and you have enough food for your chicks and yourself. What is your secret?

The hen replied.

"I just dig deeper!"

This is a very important story - when the soil is moist, the earthworms come to the top of the soil and when the land get dry, they dig deeper into the soil. The hen hard to work harder to find them - it just had to dig deeper to reach the earthworms!

Hope you enjoyed this story.

If so, please follow me and give me a thumps up. (Ha ha, we ar living in social media times!)

Saving the Earth NOW - 2021 Earth Day thoughts

 I will be talking about carbon dioxide control and how our future is Hydrogen as the fuel for everything in this article

It is known to all sensible people that humans are wreaking havoc on every part of this earth and its inhabitants non reversible damage due to carbon dioxide emissions for their own comforts. Humans are methodically destroying the environment and pumping millions of tons of carbon dioxide as well as cutting down trees and filling the air which belongs to everyone. The majority of the earth, the oceans are not spared either. 

Developed countries have taken a few steps, to avoid smog, we have implemented the exhaust gas from our vehiches to be treated of nitrous oxides, but carbon dioxide is left alone to be accumulate in the atmosphere.

The only way we tackle the problem of generation of carbon dioxide and freely releasing it to atmosphere  is NOT to generate carbon dioxide in activities we do which now produces carbon dioxide as a byproduct. Mostly energy production is what causes carbon dioxide production whether it is electricity or energy to move us or the goods we use to different places with energy. 

Here is the simple solution: Replace the carbon dioxide generating, energy producing activity with a differently energy source - Hydrogen. The burning of hydrogen only produces water, which is harmless. 

So taming hydrogen production, storing and managing it has to be our top priority moving forward. All technology is already available - best way, albeit still inefficient is using fuel cells, 

Fuel cell, hydrogen based cars from Toyota and Hyundai are the solution from the transportation view point. Building up hydrogen stations everywhere and promoting hydrogen based vehicles can start the much needed change in our world. 

So why not promote electric cars? Well, two major deficiencies of pure electric cars - one time it takes to charge if away from home. And two, heavy use of Lithium. Both of these problems will full electric can be cut down with the hydrogen powered cars. Quick fill up, and since fuel cell powers the battery on a regular basis, no need to carry large capacity Lithium batteries.

Now, coming to the petroleum production - what happens to that? At some point we have to wean ourselves off from it, but it can stil be part of the picture. We shift that paradigmby not burning hydrocarbons - it is so yesterday, but broken up into hydrogen, carbon and oxygen. Hydrogen will be used as the fuel, and carbon used in some other uses(activated carbon, carbon nanofibers etc) , and oxygen to be used for industrial as well as medical uses. The technology is already available and mature. 

Another step we need to take is to cut down on anything we burn. Natural gas, propane, since abundant, there are fuel cells  to generate energy - the carbon dioxide as a byproduct, we have to strictly rules implement to scrub it.  

But how? 

Just like how we scrub carbon dioxide in a submarine. Bring the technology to the surface, and have it strictly implemented in any factories or any vehicles where carbon dioxide is still have to be generated. This later could be sunk into the ocean or used as fuel for green houses for higher production and faster plant growth.

TDLR: Actively moving to a Hydrogen based economy NOW rapidly moves us away from the catastrophe we will see in our earth in our life time.

Comments appreciated.

Working Towards a Humanistic Government

We have made so many mistakes in the past as a society. We have done a lot of things right was well. We are still evolving into a better society. Here are the things we can do to accelerate our quality of life in this blue planet.

America lost her leadership in the world power, every country is slowly coming out to be powerful in their own way, in self sufficiency, the life quality and such.  America should lead the world in converting this world into a humanistic society. And it need to start from the government.
55% of American budget is going towards military. This could be very well used inside for the welfare of the people.

A chunk of money and effort need to be set aside to reduce military budgets of countries of the world. This is a burden the world is taking on their shoulders because they are afraid of their neighboring country. If there can be consensus to whittle down military budgets to zero of every country, that would be a great move, through bringing neighboring countries to drop their guard and tell them there is nothing to fear and showing that we are reducing our weapon program as well.

Part of the American Interests in the middle east and such is leading up to arms accumulation. But by helping to accelerate a shift in the energy sector that area can be made irrelevant, since we can produce our own energy and promote alternate energy that we can be one day self sufficient and still be non polluting. This will save us from having any bases in any part of the world for energy sake.
This need to be targeted as a priority item. This will also have far reaching consequences that we can make a very positive change in the existence of the earth itself.


Locally here is what we need to change:

1. Capital punishment need to stop. Killing someone is not the solution for people's crimes. Just because someone committed a crime at the spur of the moment when they lost themselves, doesn't mean that it should destroy their life.

2. Incarceration need to stop. Making people miserable and wasting their lives in jail cells is inhumane. Need other ways to bring correction to human's lives

3 Low income wages where people cannot make a living is not acceptable. Should have a policy of living wages as applied to local areas about providing people with wages which not only make people have a roof above their head, have three time meals, but also can have time for leisure.

4. Education should be as free as possible, this allows to create a foundation for humans who can earn a good living. At least a college education should be best, along with knowledge to get them to be working right away (vocational training).

5. Work towards low cost housing, so that it would be only a small part of people's expense, so that they have more money towards enjoyment in life.

6. Basic free healthcare. Anyone should be able to see a medical professional without substantial cost from their pocket. Everyone should pay for their own healthcare, or have a monthly payment system where everyone participates so that the sick can get afforable healthcare.

7. Tax burden put on people and corporations need to be reduced to a point that people should be glad to pay the taxes for the things they get in return. Better infrastructure, better government services

8. Government need to keep it to the minimum so that the tax burden on people can be reduced. Government is most times a wasteful entity and need to be run frugally, but with highly paid officials so that we can attract efficient and intelligent people to run it. Just the opposite is what happens now.

9. Immigration. The society is not stagnant, people are rapidly aging in the country, and need talent which need to replace them, and young vibrant people need to be the core of a society, if not there can be replenished with immigrants. They are such a great asset to any society and we should not fail to recognize it. Rules need to be changed to quickly bring so called illegal immigrants to main stream, so that they can start paying the taxes. Singular huge benefit for the government along with their use of time and effort to better our society.

10. Efficient judicial system, currently very much broken, need to be reviewed and fixed.

11. Laws - laws and rules need to be kept to a minimum. Encouraging people to participate in activities need to be given priority than banning them from activities. Eliminate silly thing out of criminal category, like drug possession and such.
