    About this ebook

    Since long, humans are aware of the tumultuous nature of their society and the impending danger from there, which could exterminate the race itself. And we always have a few who are strong advocates of peace, who keep prescribing various do’s and don’ts, which yield nothing but making life a bit more uncomfortable. Also, humans are never at peace with themselves. Various abstractions, like religion, love, or prestige, keep the society always on the boil. The culprit is human nature itself, and another abstraction called ‘the ultimate aim of life’, both of which, we hold in high esteem. This book is making a suggestion here. If we make a deviation here, and moderate our dependence on such abstractions, all will benefit.

    He has taken to writing on retirement from Indian Navy in 2013 after a lengthy career, during which he had the good luck to come across as colleagues, subordinates and superiors, a real, wide cross section of India, and quite a few more from the rest of the world. Every second person, during those years, that one had to do business with, thus being from widely different backgrounds and consequently presenting a kaleidoscopic view of society, he couldn't but reflect on human transactions in many colors, each of them leading to a horde of imponderables, human or non human, living and non living.So far has published the following books:-Origin of Caste in India, revised and republished as CASTE The Unexplored Territories, a new, practical and fundamentally different approach to the most vexed social problem of India.-Origin of Evolution, revised and republished as The Unsure Male, a holistic look at the issue of life which shockingly opens up a myriad of possibilities.-Glimpses of Autobiography, a collection of memories.-Hubs that Provoke, a collection of Essays.-More Hubs that Provoke, a collection of Essays.-Homo Posterus, a science fiction novel.-Life of Style, a book that presents human life as nothing but an expedient for a lifestyle.-Overhaul Life, an attempt to specify an overhaul life for our life.

      An Easy Route to Peace

      Why is our society always in a state of boil? A small perturbation can lead to a world war, which could exterminate the race itself. I think humans were always aware of this, since we always have a few who are strong advocates of peace, who keep prescribing various do’s and don’ts. In fact these restrictions yield nothing but making life a bit more uncomfortable.

      Is there a better way?

      Introduction

      I think, since long, humans are aware of the tumultuous nature of their society and the impending danger arising out of it, which could result in extermination of the race itself. And every day we are waking up to it with increased tempo, if regular exhortations by almost all leaders of the society are anything to go by.

      Our history, in fact is a chronological account of the damages we human race have inflicted on human race itself, and the collateral ruins, it caused. Arbitrary borders, and dividing mankind into different groups or subgroups that are mutually antagonistic, are only some of these. We are also constantly correcting, or otherwise altering, each of those, perhaps causing in the process, little more damage.

      Our future could be facing the brunt of all this. As time go forward, more and more people are waking up to it as a real possibility. And to counter this, we always have many philosophers and other public figures who advocate the need to cultivate impeccable personal qualities, peace, and harmony, in a society. Such ones keep prescribing various do’s and don’ts in this regard, which effectively yield nothing but making life a bit more uncomfortable for all. And it hasn’t changed a bit, ever since.

      Commotion keeps on occurring, at all times, and for various reasons. Our reaction also vary.

      We overlook it, or see it as a celebration,
