Trump is declared as POTUS candidate by Republicans. Trump announces his mate – JD Vance. Vice President candidate. Usha Chilukuri is the soul force behind him.

Reservations in the private sector – one more state seeks to pass a bill for reservations for locals – 75% in non-managerial positions, and 50% in managerial positions. Earlier, Haryana, Jharkhand, and AP have done something similar. AP sought 75% jobs for locals up to monthly salaries of Rs.30,000 and less. The High Court has called it unconstitutional. The same thing happened in Haryana. The ball is now with the Supreme Court. We await its verdict and ruling. Local production, consumption, services, enterprises, employment, and engagement is what we look to advocate for, as a guideline. But, can it be a right, justiciable entitlement? For a company, isn’t it good that they hire as many locals as possible, at various levels? Don’t we have the same in civil services too? Local again – is it limited to a village, district, state or country? Where does the right to life, freedom start and end? Can’t we have freedom to migrate anywhere and work? Don’t we have the right, freedom to work anywhere in the world?
Shouldn’t we get, our Identity cards – aadhaar, PAN, passport et al at the time of our birth, renewed when we turn 18? We shouldn’t require any visa to go anywhere in this world. Why are visa-free regions rare? Maybe one Svalbard. If we are not permitted, for some reason, somewhere, the area, geography should be banning us, case-by-case. Is this entire paraphernalia around this serving any real purpose? In any case, all these systems may not be older than 100 years. We have complicated our lives, I guess. Going against our freedom of movement. For ordinary citizens in this world. Variety of types, ways, of visas to permit, restrict entry, or exit.
Can we become a useful team member? Can we be positive, on time, take notes, connect, converse, but not gossip, help? Can we appreciate that we are unique, but never alone? What we seek, seeks us. Macrocosm and microcosm are in sync. Can we realize that our knowledge sets our limitations? It is the intuition, instinct, and imagination that stretches, takes us forward. Knowledge we acquire on the way to achieve the stretch, leap. Can we see possibilities, and work for them?
Can we see, meet, converse, and experience with communities in situ, changemakers on ground? Can we listen to the pulse, beat, across length and breadth? Across age groups, work groups, geographies, et al? Can we journey in time, distance, being useful on the way, for all these possibilities?
Yes, we can. If we coexist, if flow with coexisters. In N? vrajayoga for 7L.
