I presume that most of you have got the essence of the post just by reading the title nevertheless I am going to narrow down on the topic and try to find what is lacking in our system i.e. why 9/11 is not repetitive and 26/11 is likely to be . To make the post shorter , I am directly putting the rationale behind my perception of what is deprived in our national security system or to put in other words , why U.S. security system is much more sophisticated that ours.
I am going to narrate two contemporary instances for the very purpose of proving my perception.
1. Frisking of former president of India :-
former Indian president has been frisked by an American airline that too , on the Indian territory and that too in spite of being an opposing Indian law that no former president of India can undergo frisking. How can a private airline do this kind of horrendous crime with a former president ?? Answer is very simple , the airline is a private American airline and according to U.S. laws all the on board passengers on any airline which is going to land in America have to undergo frisking , no matter who the individual is. So abiding by the laws of its own country is the most vital for it to sustain.
2. Detention of SRK in U.S. :-
This highly hyped episode also depicts that if you seem to be a suspect of any crime to the U.S. officials then irrespective of how large your fan community is , you are required to go through the same procedure as it is for others. Although the immigration officials knew the plethora of information about SRK , yet he has been grilled by officials just because his surname appeared on their computer screen . There is no provision of special rules and Regulations for any star in U.S. unlike India. So we should appreciate the U.S. officials , for they are doing their job with zero tolerance and at the same time ensuring that there is no more 9/11.
In U.S. any traffic cop can book the daughter of president of united states if she is found guilty for speeding. These are the things that they have done for making 9/11 a non-repetitive function. Their ultimate objective is being fulfilled by these stringent laws . These are some precise reasons why there is no 9/11 after 2001.
On the contrary , today our PM has given guidelines to all chief ministers and other highly ranked Indian officials that Pakisthani based terrorists are planning fresh attacks , so get yourself prepared with the new subsidies and compensation money to all the future victims and that is precisely what the state chief minsters are doing . There is no stringent action which has been taken post 26/11 to combat the crime infrastructure in India . There is absolutely no change in the way things are being implemented before 26/11 and after that . There are special rules for all star icons , all VIPs and relatives of VIPs and relatives of relatives of VIP and so on until the series diminishes to a common man .
So finally , I would say it is the inherent nature of Indian security system that makes it more vulnerable and if this situation persists then I can bet that 26/11 is going to be a recursive function with no return statement in itself.
PS : As many of my friends suggested to write on something funny so as to increase the blog hits , surely i am going to do that . wait for the next post.

And yet another independence day
Independence day is the most important day for any human beings , for they can exercise their right of movement to anywhere , their right of speaking and writing , their right of equality in all aspects of life and so on and so forth. Being a social animal , we want freedom of doing everything and anything until and unless it does not ill-affect somebody else and independent India provides their citizens of doing the same which the latter had expected from the former. The situation of not being under control of somebody else but theirs gives immense pleasure and gratification to all social creatures and we associate this very independence of ours to a vital ingredients of advanced civilization.
But in spite of all our right to movement , right of expressing ourselves freely and right of getting equal opportunities etc. which we have inherently derived from our ancestors in this country , does India itself independent in taking its own decisions ?
Does India need america or for that matter any other external unwanted elements for resolving its own disputes or issues both inside the territory of India and outside the territory of it ?
In spite of having got the status of independence more than half a century back , we are still following the path which is shown to us by some external agency . To put it more bluntly , Aren't we competent enough to take our own decisions ??
To say an recent evidence to it , just because Hillary Clinton or Obama administration wants us to shake hands with Pakisthan post 26/11 attacks and resolve the bilateral issue according to their strategies , we are precisely following what they have instructed us to do without applying our own brain to it . Does this handshake which happens one day in Chine , on other day in Egypt , on another occasion in Russia between our PM and Pakisthan's president worth enough ? Inspite of release of all the suspected 26/11 perpetrators in Pakisthan , wouldn't this handshaking symbolises a slap on the face of victims of the attack ?
India has been proved to be incompetent to protect its citizens in its territory as well as outside its territory. There is no action taken place to protect the indian students in Australia despite the brutalisation of students there . Even the Autralian media said that the attacks were racist in nature , but inspite of all that not once our govt. has said that . Our govt. is putting their best efforts to be as dumb and deaf as they can and just wash off their hands in the entire matter.
"India , on its own can not do anything in this matter", this is the statement made by Shashi Tharoor ( minister of state for external affairs ) on TIMES NOW .
Inspite of all this , can we call India , an independent country who is able to take their decision on their own at least in their own disputes.
Celebrating 62nd independece day as warmly as we can , will not be of any worth if the very cause of celebrating it , i.e. the state of being independence is not fulfilled . Delivering enthusiastic speeches on Red Fort and distributing sweets and at the same time forgeting about our rights and duties is symptoms of dead nation , never to rise again .
Today in my room , I have heard loud music coming from my opposite wing , the loud music comprised of songs about which everybody care only once in a year. The songs were Lata Mangeshkar's famous "Ae Mere Vatan Ke Logo " , "Mere Desh ki Dharati" and all others. I have absolutely no problem about listening to these songs but the question is , will listening of these songs create any kind of patroitic feelings in ourselves which is so strong and pertinent that can last for at least next independece day . If yes , then the sole purpose of listening is served otherwise its all in vain .
To conclude it here , we will have to decide that how should we celebrate our independece day which reflects our nation's independence because that is precisely what we are celebrating otherwise many more independence day will come and go and the illusion of being independent will remain with us forever.

The more things change , the more they remain the same : Mathematical and Societal perspective
Change is one of the most indispensable part of human society which is driven by time. There is no life without change. So change is the only constant thing in our life , but if that is the case what does the title supposed to convey ? How can something undergo change and still remains the same ?
How can there be light and darkness at the same time ? How can something exist and at the same time it doesn't ? Isn't that paradoxical ? I think "The change" is not Mr. India of that famous movie who in spite of being there , is not there.
Although the cliche appear to be insane and totally preposterous , for obvious logical reasons that i have cited above , nevertheless we will try our coherent thinking onto it .
Mathematical perspective :-
It is once said by Prof. Srinathan ( a great mathematician ) that if something is true , we can mathematically give a rigorous proof that it is actually happened to be true and if nobody can actually find a mathematical technique to prove it , no matter how hard and meticulously he try to find it , we can not conclude that it is not true . As he went on saying , it is the limitation of the mathematician and not of mathematics and may be the future generations will be more intellectually advanced to prove or disprove it.( we can think of P = NP classical problem to actually verify what prof. had said ).
Now lets try to use mathematics to rescue from this problem , for if we are able to prove it then we are through and on the other side if we aren't then also we are on the safe side .
Lets consider a physical quantity lembda denoted by L .
and over a period of time change in L being del(L) where del (.) is some function on L.
Time taken for this change to happen being del(t) where del(.) is some function on t.
So the change taken place per unit time is del(L)/del(t) by using simple arithmatic.
Since in mathematics we check the correctness of our technique by applying it on the boundary conditions , for if it is true for some values then it must be true for all values including the boundary values .
If we look at the change for a very small time , implicitly implies that del(t)-> 0 . Since according to the principle of theory of computation we can not do any finite or infinite computation in zero time because if that was the case then power of adversary is infinite which is next to impossible as per turing machine model. So if del(t) -> 0 implies that del(L)-> 0
together implies that del(L)/del(t) -> 0/0 which gives us a indeterminate form and we are stuck.
The other boundary conditions is when we oversee changes over a large period of time . As the title says that the more things change , we would make the changes to be very large .
so del(L) -> infinite .
Since infinite changes in L can not happen in finite time according to the same principle . so del(t) -> infinite , but then we look at the rate of change del(L)/del(t) -> infinite/infinite which is again indeterminate form.
So where does mathematics trying to take us ? Looking at the perspective of mathematics : The more things change , the more they become inderminate or complex .
Societal perspective :-
In accordance with human perspective , the cliche can be looked upon in various forms .
In this world everything is changing and the change become so common to the world that it is the only thing which happens all the time . So in some sense it is becoming the only constant being , thus no matter the scale of change occuring to various things , it is the change which will remain the same. Everything in the world will still remain under the sky as it is the limit. It can not go beyond that.
some illustrations from our own life in favour of the fact :-
1. Irrespective of which govt. comes in power in india and they bring in some innovative schemes to change the society , to combat the terror and crimes drastically and to increase the GDP , but immaterial of that , everything still remains the same at the ground level . History is the eye-witness of this obnoxious fact . Here we are not concerned about the rationale of why is this so . May be some other post will take up this issue.
2.Irrespective of what grades we have got in our previous semesters , the current semester will pass in the very same manner as the prevous ones. To put it in more general way and more bluntly , no matter how hard we try to correct our mistakes of past , we end up repeating the same mistake again and again .
3.Irrespective of how many chicks have we seen in the past , whenever a new one comes , we end up thinking about the same insane things again and screwing up the game.
4. Man , being a social creature is bound to have changes in his life but internally , from his soul he remains the same human being with the same qualities that he was possessing previously. There is no change in his behaviour or his intensions to help others.
5. If we want to change something in ourselves , then we can only change that very something only for a small period of time after which that very something looks like it hasn't undergone any changes because that very something might have undergone changes in its shape and size but not in its inherent properties that that very something must posses to prove its identity. As It is the inherent nature of something that makes it what it is.
So is it indeed true that the more things change , the more they remain the same ?
and what can we say about the reverse of the title ? i.e. The more things remain the same , the more they change.
How can there be light and darkness at the same time ? How can something exist and at the same time it doesn't ? Isn't that paradoxical ? I think "The change" is not Mr. India of that famous movie who in spite of being there , is not there.
