Keeping it Simple

We love Simple things.

Don't we?

Simple answers.

Simple reasons.

Simple explanations.

Simple exams.

Simple life.

Simple food.

Simple life-partners (seedhi-saadi/seedha-saada)

Simplicity.

etc. etc....

No matter how 'complex' world we may find ourselves in, we tend to crave for simple things.

There is one catch however.

We confuse 'being simple' with 'being truth/correct', and here in lies the fallacy.

We tend to forget that what is simple might not always be correct.

Often we accept simple explanations, if it is what we 'want' to believe, or if it is what we 'feel' is correct.

It often limits our ability to question the explanation/reason/answer/etc.etc.

It limits our ability to question the assumptions beneath the Question.

small states : BIG ISSUES

It started with Telangana, or was it Gorkhaland? One can’t be really sure the demand for which new state was the propellant but there can’t be diversity of views that the issue of smaller states has come with full force onto the national picture and will remain there for some time.
Due credit for it must be given to the three parties involved, viz KC Rao, the media, and the Central Government. It took the “historical” step of KC Rao to go on fast unto death, the prominence given to it by the media and the perfect example of ineptness exhibited by the Central Government to make big the issue of small states. So much so that fasting unto death has become the latest technique to hog the limelight.
