…[Note no 3.3]…[Post date 14/12/2024…Dattatraya Jayanti t’day]

[** Kaafi rough/crude kisam ka hai yeh walla..(pichle walon se bhi zyada)..

Aage aane wale notes bhi kuch isi types ke hone wale hai…

Diary main se utha kar seedhe yaha par..as is …paste kar raha hoon..(..iss wale note main ..i mean..)

Hinglish main hai ..yeh saara ka saara material.

English conversations ko English main record kiya karta hoon..Hinglish ko Hinglish main..Hindi ko Hindi main..Telugu conversations ko angrezi aksharon main record kar liya karta hoon(Ab Telugu pehle jaise nahi aati)..

Dus minute ke andar andar jitna bhi main likh sakta hoon(kisi cheez/happening/conversation ko lekar)..utna likh leta hoon(Iske (10 min ke)aage ek minute aur/extra nahi devote karta..standard practice rahi hai meri..yeh wali)

Baad main revisit kar kar/iss 10 min main record kiye gaye material ko padh kar..bade hi aasani se recall karpata hoon (uss saari ki saari cheez/happening/conversation ko)

Iss note se sambandhit material ko CHAT GPT main bhi paste kardiya tha maine..instruct kar diya tha tool ko ki mujhe iss paste kiye gaye content ki ..(joh ki Hinglish main hai iss waqt)…line for/by line translation chahiye …English main.

Pehli baar aise task (..ie..hinglish to english translation)ke liye iss tool ko isstamal kiya hai maine.Tool output impressive hai.

Tool output ko bhi yaha paste kar raha hoon.

Gobind ji se permission lekar hi kar raha hoon yeh..unka kehna tha ..”aap aise kar sakte ho..lekin diary se sambandhit material ko bhi saath main post karna hi hoga aap ko..wo bhi ..”as is” post karna hoga..bina changes ke post karna hoga..

Padhne walon ko keh dena aap ki dono versions padhen..lekin pehle diary wale ko padhen..iske baad tool output wale ko bhi padhe..

Tool output main translation se sambandhit galtiya ho sakti hai..hai na?..aur aap ka diary material bhi galtiyon se bhara padha hai..kehne ka matlab hai dono versions ko padha jaa sakte hai..lekin priority deni hogi aap ko..uss diary wali ki..theek hai na ? “]

**********

Toh bhailog..uss previous conversation ko aage badhate hue ab..ji haan..main unn video wale bhai sahab ki hi baat kar raha hoon..

Baad main kehne lage..(completely sidestepping/ignoring my pov now)…

*********

HimBhai saheb ..zara dekhiye iss video ko..

Dekh rahe ho inka dance..yeh walla veh aksar dauharate rehte hai ..har ek election results ke din ko…

dekhne main aise lag raha manlo jaise veh logon ka mazzak bana rahe ho..jaise ki ishara kar rahe ho ..hint de rahe ho ki machines aksar badli jaati hai..yehi hai iss result ki asliyat..haha..dekh kar kya aap ko yeh sab(dance vegera..I mean) odd nahi lag raha ..hame toh lag raha hai..

Yaad hai na kaise exit polls ko ek scam se jod kar dekha jaraha hai aaj kal..keh rahe hai log ki yeh ek bohot hi bada scam hai..pata nahi kitni sachchai hai iss baat main..

Ek aur baat..yeh exit polls wale..inn main se kuch hamesha accurate predict karte hai results…(pre poll surveys ko bhi accurately predict kiya karte hai kai baar..kai aur petre/tricks ko bhi ajmaate rehte hai..from time to time..jaise ki ..nations mood..agar aaj elections ho jaate hai toh..global leaders ki popularity ki ek list..etc etc..)...aise lagta hai jaise machines ko pehle fix kiya jaata hai ..phir inhe ..inn fixed machines ke internal state ka data de diya jaata hai..ekke dukke ekke dukke pollsters ke saath hi aisa kiya jaata hai shayad..(taaki woh iss khel main benchmarked ho sake..stand out ho sake..ek recognised aur mashoor chehera ban jaye..prediction accuracy ke hisab se)

Taaki results wale din jab surprising results aate hai..tab log soche ..bhai inka prediction hamesha accurate hota hai..inhone pridict kiya tha ki yeh hone wala hai..aur woh ho bhi gaya hai..beshaq results hazm nahi ho rahe ..surprising lag rahe iss waqt..toh kya hua ..hame inn results ko accept kar lena chahiye ab..Kyon ki inka predict kiya hua galat hi nahi hota hai kabhi bhi..veh expert hai iss kschetre ke..kaafi exhaustive survey ka natija hai yeh sab..(lekin ek baat toh hai..aaj tak koi hame aisa nahi mila joh kahe ki humne inki survey main participitate kiya hai)..

Sir ji inn survey walon aur exit pollster ka 3 stages walla khel hota hai..humko lagta hai..

Pheli stage walla khel..pre poll stage walla khel hota hai..jaha pe yeh log party ke liye ground/janta main favourable sentiment ko generate karne ki koshish karte hai..aap ko batyenge hawa kiss taraf ki hai..surprises dekhne ko mil sakte hai..vegera vegera ..haha..yeh darahsal jeet ke liye ..raaste pave karnpane ki koshishen jaisi hai..

Doosra stage hai woh exit polls walla stage.surprising results ki .acceptability aur digestability wala stage keh lo ise..taaki log bole ki yeh log bade naam hote hai..iss exit polls wale game ki inhone pehle bola tha toh sahi hi hoga…

Aise surprising results ke har ek aspect ko explain karpane main yeh log mahir hote hai…taaki log inn results ko asani se digest kar paye..accept kar paye..digest kar paye..haha..jaise ki maanlo kisi diye gaye script se padha ja raha ho sab kuch..(ab kya hai ki baar baar kiya Gaya khel hai..janta sab samajh rahi hai finally)..iss jeet ke karanon ko..jaise ki keh denge..opposition main in fighting ke chale hui unki haar..last moment announce ki gayi schemes ka impact dekhne ko mil raha hai unn resulted main etc etc..make no mistake inn surprises ko explain karpane ke kai angle hote hai inke paas..shayad pehle se hi tai hota hai sab kuch..aur bichare janta sab kuch akhirkar swallow kar hi leti hai..waise ek baat hai..yeh joh main keh raha hoon ho sakta hai aisa kuch hota hi na ho..ho sakta hai sab ka sab mera Matr bhram hi ho..hum toh keval speculate hi kar sakte hai..hai na..iss se zyada hum kar bhi kya sakte hai..Kyon ki proof nahi hamare paas..lekin jab ek pattern emerge hone sa lage toh nahural hai ki dhyan uspe jayega hi..aur iss ko leke log tarah tarah ki batien bhi karenge hi..

Agar jab iss tarah ki batien kar rahe hote hai har jagah par..tab bhi responsible bodies ki bhi zimmedari ho jaati hai ki veh janta ko confidence main lein..aur unke har kisam ki doubts ko vista at se address karein..mandate janta ka hota hai..iski raksha vipaksh ko karni chahiye..saath main janta ki bhi zimmedari banti hai ke woh apne dwara diye gaye mandate ki raksh kare..if you’ve been born into democracy..dis then bcoms ur responsibility too..n not just oppositions..

Ab inke uss teesre stage wala game..bhai yeh wala sunn kar aapko hasil bhi aa sakti hai..iss stage ko kaha gaya hai..

“Make em move on as quickly as possible from dis result related nasty surprise..don’t let them dwell into all dis too much”(these surprising results )walla stage.. iss wale ko kaha ja sakta hai…

Iss stage main aap dekhoge ki kaise pehle toh do teen dino tak(results ke announcement ke baad)..inn results ke karano ko ginaya ja raha hai..justify kiya ja raha hai..surprise baat yaha par yeh dekhne ko mil sakti hai ki na sirf pollsters/pro gov sources/gov wale..balki kuch opposition wale party workers aur kuch pro opposition trolls /influencers /you tubers bhi suddenly evm related /election results /electoral processes related possible manipulation ..se Jude sa walon ko chchod suddenly haar ke karan ginane lage hai..”apni hi galti rahi hai ran neeti main”..”ruling walon ka masterstroke”..ruling walon ki strategy safai rahi”..vegera jaisi cheezon ko finance lagte hai..aise lagne lagta hai ki jaise yeh sab ke sab ab gov sources ho chuke hai..kahi aisa toh nahi ki yeh sab ke sab darahsal gov ke hi sources ho ..unse mile hue ho..ek double agent ke roop/role main ho..

Aise pro opposition influencers /yourubers etc ka ho sakta hai asli kaam yehi hota ho(aison ko aap kabhi nahi dekhoge ki veh evm vegera ki baat kar rahe ho..agar kabhi ka at karte bhi hai..toh woh bas ek do pal ka hi hota hai)..ki election day tak opposition walon ki lines ko liya jaye har mudde par..unki bidding karna…(aison ki toh massive following bhi hoti hai..)..baad main jaise hi natije aate hai..phir uske baad surprising results ke karan ginana..sab kuch ginayege..bas bas ek cheez nahi kareng woh hai possibility of election fraud ki…

Ab inke fans ko bhi lagta hai/followers ko bhi lagta hai ki…yeh toh hamare log hai..aur.jab yeh bhi wohi karan haar ke ginaa rahe hai..joh pro gov sources Gina rahe hai..tab zaroor kuch na kuch sachchai toh hogi hi..haha..sab hamari hi galti hai..yeh opposition wale kamzor hai inhe politics nahi aati..haha..

Hum ko toh lagta hai kai baar yeh bhi ki yeh opposition wale senior leaders(ho sakta hai inn main se kuch khud) kuch gaddar type wale/ jaise party walon se ghire hue hai..joh lag jaate hai(inn nasty results)ko senior leaders ko digest/accept kar pane main..shayad kuch iss kisam ki cheez inse kahi jaati hogi..”sir ji hamari hi galtiyon ki vajah se hua hai sab kuch..hum yahan par chook gaye..wahan par chook gaye..khair koi baat nahi..hame inn natijon se sabak lena chahiye..aur ab aage ki tayyari karni chahiye..unnlogon ko dekhiye..kaise yeh log already aage ki tayyari main jury chuke hai..celebrate tak nahi kiya inhone..ise bolte hai full time wale politics..ek relentless/ruthless kisam ki machinary hai inki..ab level up/measure up karne ka time aa chuka hai..nahi toh yuun hi ham bhavishya main bhi haarte hi jayenge..aur sir..jee nahi..yeh machines ..yeh electoral processes impeccable/robust kisam ka design kiya Gaya hai inhe..yeh hack nahi ho sakti period..excuses ka koi matlab nahi..aise kehne se hum aur janta aur inn logon ki nazaron main girenge hi..yeh ruling wale..name calling main toh Ustaad hai hi..hamein turant..sore looser ka tag Pradhan kar diya jayega..joh hamari bhavishya ki politic ke liye theek nahi..mera manna hai”..

Yeh opposition supremos bhi chup rehte hai..surprising results ko digest kar lete hai kya baat hai..yah toh mile hue..ya phir keh toh nahi diya jaata inhe..ki aap log bhi yeh sab karte the..yaad hai woh 2009 wale surprising results..aap ke time pe kya booth capturing vegera nahi hoti thi..Sir ji kaach ke ghar on main rehne wale doosron ke kharab main patthar nahi Mara karte..etc etc..

**surprising Results ke baad do teen din tak iss kisam ka chalta hai( ie dono taraf se iss prakar ke results ke aane ke karan batatye jaate hai(kuch ekka dukka log hi milenge ab joh abhi bhi election manipulation ki baat kar rahe hote hai)..

Agar maan liya jaye ki results kuch zyada hi surprising rahe the ..tab aap dekhoge ki woh mile hue log(chahe party wale ya trolls ya influencers)..chaar paan din tak evms/processes vegera ko lekar shanka jatayenge(taaki kisi ko mehsoos na ho ki veh mile hue hai)..phir baad main achanak se chup hojayenge aur doosri baato ko karna shuru kar denge..jaise ki aage aane wale elections ki charcha..iss haar se sabak leni wali baat ..etc etc..

Kehne ka matlab yeh ki agar surprising results ke baad koi bhi..kuch aur baat kar raha hai..inn machines/processes se sambandhit baaton ko chchod kar(ya surprising haar ke tarah tarah ke reasons bataa raha hai..haar ko justify karne ke hisab se(ab woh chahe ko media walla troller..opposition troller /influencer /party worker/leader ya opposition party supremo kyon nah ho ..aise maan lena chahiye ..aise sab log mile hue hai ..ruling walon ke saat..[**chup baithne wale..ya koi aur baat karne wale..darahsal range haat pakde gaye hai..aap ko aise maan lena chahiye]

Ab week khatam hote hi achanak se propoganda machinery apna focus inn natijon se hata leti hai..

[Yeh bilkul aisa hi hai jasa ki Afghanistan main hua tha ..American troops ke withdrawal ke baad ..ya phir kehlo..taliban ke achanak se lautaane ke baad..shayad aise main global press ko bol diya Gaya hoga ki kripiya aap apne lens ka focus ab iss pranth se hata le..aur shayad aisa hi hua..do teen din ke baad yahan se focus hata kiya Gaya..jiske chalte..aaj tak hame theek se nahi maloom ho paya hai ki aakhir chal kya raha hai Afghanistan main aaj kal..]..koi aur mudde pe focus karna shuru kar sakti hai( mudde create bhi toh kiye ja sakte hai results se focus hatwa paane ke hisab se..hai na)..for eg aane wale agle elections pe bhi focus kar sakti hai..

Humko toh lagta hai yeh sab bhi scripted sa hota hai..haha..

Ab aap achanak se dekhoge ki inke kuch leaders( koi bhi leader Ho sakta hai).. ab uss state main pohuch gaye hai..jahan par elections aane ko hai..koi inaugration kar raha hoga..koi scheme announce kar raha hoga koi Bhashan vegera de raha hoga etc etc..

Aise move ke do fyade hote hai..ek fyada yeh.. ki yeh ek tarah se ensure karta hai ki opposition aur citizenry aur zyada uss pichle elections ke natijon ko lekar aur zyada brood na kare..[ jab aap zyada dwell nahi karna shuru karte ho tab iska matlab hota hai ki aap ab iss stage of thinking main aa chuke ho ki ..aap ab inn natijon ko dhire dhire accept bhi karne wale ho/digest karne wale ho(albeit wid a pinch of salt tho)….aur ultimately bhool bhi jaane wale ho inn natijon se judi disappoint ko]..ek tarah se accept karle..aur ab aage wale elections ki ore dekhne lage uski preparation main lag jaye..

Ab doosra fayada(below)..

Jab aap election ke declare hone ke baad..doosre ya teesre dinko hi likal lete ho ..kisi doosre state ki ore..(aise state ki ore jahan elections ho ko hai..aane wale kuch mahine main…

Aisa karne pe aap apni sold out propaganda machinery ko bhi ek Mauka pradaan kar rahe hote ho…aisa keh sakte hai ki aap darahsal inhe bohot kuch keh pane ka(iss move/trip ke baaare main) propaganda material supply kar rahe hote ho..bohot kuch kehpane ke hisab se..jaise ki..

“dekha dekha aap logon ne..abhi abhi inn logon ki ek emphatic jeet hui hai..lekin inn sab se inko farak nahi..celebrate karne ke bajaye yeh log ..aage aane wale election main abhi se focus karne lage hai..ruthless/merciless/relentless elections jeetne wali machine ban chuki hai yeh party..jab tak jeet ki aisi bhook nah ho ..aap elections jeet hi nahi sakte..no wonder yeh log maidaan marte hi aaye hai inn dis salon main.. doosri taraf..aap khud dekh sakte ho..inka mukbala part time politicians se chal raha hai..jinko politics virasat main mili hui hai..khoon pasine se nahi..

Sab kuch phatak se samajh main aa jaata hai ki yeh log haarte hi haarte Kyon ja rahe hai..

Joh inhi ke log ..opposition main mile hue honge veh bhi yeh sab kaha karte honge ..apni hi party walon se..ki bhai hamari hi galti hai isiliye hum haar rahe hai..unko dekho kaise yeh log already lag chuke hai ..apne aage ki elections ko tayyari main..hame bhi isi kisam ke bhool paida karne ki zarrorat hain …tabhi hum jeet payenge..haha.

Aisi cheezen opposition ko disturb /unka confidence ko hilane ki taquat rakhti hai..unki apni senior leadership pe bhi serious sawal khade karti hai..haha..

Me(after listening to d persons fairly longish kinda account..n then deciding to don a devils advocate cap):

Toh bhailog kuch iss tarike ki batien kar rahe tha yeh vyakti(eatery main hi mulaquuat hui thi meri iss vyakti main)..looser mansikta wale logon ko aksar isi kisam ki baatien karte hue sekha suna ja sakta hai..yeh woh mansikta ke log hote hai..joh kabhi bhi apni haar pe introspect nahi karte..usse sabak nahi lete ..balki doosron ko hi blame karte rehte hai hamesha..darahsal aise log digest/accept hi nahi karpate ki jiss leader/party ko veh support karte aaye hai aaj tak..woh darahsal ek looser party/leader hota hai..

Us election ke surprising results ko dekh..wahan ke bhi democrat supporters bhi kuch isi kisam ki anaap shanaap batien kar rahe hai..jab se results se declare kiye gaye hai..massive rigging hui hai inn elections main aisa keh rahe hai yeh log..

Bhailog..inki har ek baat ko counter karne ki koshish karta hoon main ab..halaki aise karna inki inn baaton ko iss bakwaas ko dignify karne jaisa hoga ..mera aisa manna hai..

Ab woh dance wali baat..

Baat aisi hai na ..kaafi mehnat karte hai..yeh exit pollsters..shayad survey ka sample size vegera bhi kaafi bada hota hoga..jiske chalte kaafi maehnat vegera karni padh jaati hogi..mujhe theek se toh pata nahi..lekin issi large sample size ke chalte hi correct predictions/projections ke chances kaafi bash jaate hai..

Ab ek pollster(exit) kaafi kuch stake kar raha hota hai(reputation vegera ki main baat kar raha hoon yahan par)..jab woh kisi exit poll ke natijo ko public domain main daal raha hota hai..galat milke inke projections toh badnami ka /loss of reputation etc ka khatra ho jaata hai..

Toh jab projections sahi aur satik sabit hote hai..toh aap naturally celebrate bhi karoge..aap ko kadi mehnat ka phal mil raha hota hai..

Yeh naachna gaana ..kya yeh bhi ab ek bohot bada Gunah ho gaya..celebrate kar rahe apni jeet ko ..isliye naach rahe..celebratory mood main kiya h

Iss se Jude scam ka main khas nahi jaanta..

Study Survey forms filled up forms ko shayad upload bhi kiya jaata hoga..

Accurate sabit hote hai Kyon ki aap keh sakte ho ki yeh shayad ek achche saphologist hote ho..ji hon iss ..art of exit poll related predictions ko inhone shayad perfect kar liya hai..

Ho sakta hai bade survey/sample size ki vajah se aise kar pa rahe ho..kai baar galat bhi sabit hote hai yeh log tab aap kuch nahi kehte..

***

About pre polls…

reality chk dete hai yeh polls..but sycophants yeh reality check nahi dete..apne political masters ko..

False delusionary/illusionary picture ko paint karte rehte hai..inn political dynasty’s ko (inke goods books main bane rehne ke liye/inke ird gird bane rehene ke liye..surveys..global leader list..aaj agar election ho jaye..yeh madhayam hota hai zameeni haqquiqut ki janta ke samne laane ka..inn ko toh shukeguzar hona chaiye koi toh hai joh inhe sachchai ka darshan karwa raha hai..inke khud ke party wale toh karne se rahe aisi baatien..

Exit polls…experience aur shayad large sample size vegera ke chalte inhone apne iss art ko perfect sa kar liya hai..aap ko inke iss success main bhi conspiracy dikhai deti hai..nikkame ho kya joh aap ne successko kabhi taste nahi kiya..jab succes milti hai..mehnat ke phal ki prapti hoti hai toh kitni Khushi milti hai..aap nahi jaan sakte..jab yeh nachte hai celebrate karte hai..aap ise bhi shaq ke nazaron se dekhte ho..Abhi kya chahte ho bhai aap log main kuch samajh nahi pa raha hoon…

Bohot kuch stake kar raha hota hai ek exit pollster jab woh ekit polls ke natijon ko sab ke samne pesh kar raha hota hai..toh aise main woh jab sahi sabit hoga..nachega hi bhai..

Shayd..large sample size..exhaustive survays ..aur pollster experience pe depend hoti hai ..kisi kiye gaye exit poll ki accuracy..

Shyad filled up survey forms ko bhi upload kar diya karte hai (apni site pe)..by way of proof ..so ppl can reference em all..

Kuch log kehte hai hame aaj tak koi aisa nahi mila joh keh de ki usne kisi iss kisam ki survey main kabhi participate kiya tha..toh yeh galat hai..inhe ..maine 2019 lok sabha elections ke waqt pehli baar dekha tha.. achcha kaam karte hai veh..

Post election polls/post mortum ..aap logon ko toh inhe thanks bolna chahiye yeh log aap ki haar ko dissect kar rahe hai ..uska post mortum kar rahe hai..taaki aap aage ke liye iss haar se sabak lete hue /seekh lete hue apni iss politics ko aur sahi aur satik tarah se ninja sako..

Yeh shayad out of compassion/ sympathy aisa karte hai..Kyon ki ek weak opposition desh ke liye theek nahi hoti..aap ke khud ki party walon main itna dum kaha/itni ability kaha ki woh haar ko theek se dissect/analyse kar sake..taaki haar se aap sabak le sako..aap wale sab ke sab arm chair politicians/debaters/trolls ban ke reh gaye hai..asli zameen wali hard nosed type wali politics aati nahi aap ko..jinko aati thi(senior /seasoned /verterans /hard nosed politician types wale aap ke party wale..aise sabhi logon ko toh aap ne piche kar rakha hai..ek tarah se aap ne massive experience ko elbow out kar rakaha hai..apni rozmarrah ki politics se..yeh aap ka advantage tha..jise aapne ne gawa diya..bewakoofi main aa kar ki ..ki aaj ki politics kuch alag tarike ki hoti hai..aise main inka koi role nahi banta..

Sirji samne wala khoob apne iss abhav ko jaanta bhi hai pechanta bhi hai..isiliya toh woh aapke experience ko apni ore kheechta aaya hai..ismain galat bhi kya hai..

Aapne jab..apne massive experience ko elbow out karna shuru kardiya tha..tab aap ne usi waqt..saamne wale ke strength/laid out rules/pitch pe khelna shuru kar diya tha..woh toh khush sa ho gaya hoga ..ki dekho kaise yeh log apne taquat ko tyag rahe hai..

Aap ne soch liya..yeh arm chair wali duniya..yeh trolls aur debates aur timelines wali illusionary duniya..yehi hai aaj ki politics..nahi sir..iss illusion main phas kar aap zameeni /hard nosed types wali politics se door ho gaye ho..

Aap ko toh thankful hona chahiye ki yeh log aap ki haar ki vajah gina rahe hai…lekin aap ko iss main bhi conspiracy nazar aati hai…

Bhai ek aur baat ..aap jaise woke..leftist..liberal..elitist mindset wale ..aksar dekha gaya hai veh haar ko bardasht nahi kar pate..

Sir ji results ko digest/accept karna seekhiye..iss se lesson lijiye..aur aage badhiye..iss main koi buriyi nahi bhai..

Results ko ek reality check ke saman hote hai..

Lagataar haar ki vajah se..Aap log accept hi nahi kar pa rahe ho ki jinn logon ko aap log aaj tak aap log back karte aaye ho..woh darahsal saare ke saare langade ghode ho chuke hai(ho sakta hai aap logon ne shuru se hi langde ghodon ko back kar rakha ho)..

Ab aise lag raha hai ..aise periodic shocks ke vajah se ..aap logon ki brain chemistry main bhi kuch fundament sa farak aane laga hai..

Jaise hi natije aate hai..aap logon ka mann mashtish ek tarah se self deception/khud ko chalne wale mode main chala jaata hai(cheezon ko accept nahi karpane ke vajah se mann ho gaya hai aisa)…aur phir apne aap hi tarah tarah ki kahaniya banane lagta hai..inn surprising results ko samajhpane ke hisab se..

Elections ko leke ajeebo ghareeb batien karne wala..Yeh shaqs akela nahi..inn jaise aneka ek (har waqt)milte hi rehte hai iss jagah pe(mera kehne ka matlab hai..iss eatery main)..

Lekin ek baat toh hai ..main aise logon ki baaton ko unchallenged nahi jaane deta..
