Open to interpretation

Project Manager Bombay
It's a term which has caught my fancy - Open to Interpretation.
This, I heard in the Vodafone Plc. Chief's speech a couple of days back, when he came out with the statement that Indian laws in FDI are not clear and 'open to interpretation'

Coming down to the root cause of the chaos that India is, in general and also in all the environments it supports, spiritual, social, economic or for that matter political - the whole Indian system is 'Open to Interpretation'

In everything that happens in India, people choose to interpret things the way they want to, and behind this very generic cover, several shady activities thrive which have been an eyesore not just for the world in general but also to the citizens in particular.

Look at the way Indian legal system runs. All it's laws are archaic, and totally irrelevant to today's times. Yet no one wants to change them. Simply because behind these laws, the dirty underbelly of the Indian system hides effectively.
Just like a chameleon, that interprets the surroundings and turns itself into the surroundings, so also, the Indian governance has acquired this art of interpreting the laws and regulations to it's own benefit, thus hiding and carrying out it's underhand tasks there.

Being open to interpretation is even subject to the scriptures of religions esp. the Bhagavat Gita. This epic can be interpreted by several people in their own ways and it will hold true.
This applies even to the way the Indian mythology has unfolded. The Karma of this land is itself open to interpretation. Hence India per se, is Open to Interpretation.

No wonder you find so many people reading about so many aspects of this land and feeling fascinated by it because for each one of them, this land holds its own interpretation.

Boiling down from all this is one simple fact. The spirit and existance of India is open to interpretation and so also are its people and laws and governance.
The only aspect that hinders this 'open to interpretation' thought process - which is the basis of the chaos that it creates - is the overlap of a logical thought process of order which runs against this free interpretation aspect.

As a result, there is so much of perceived disorder in the nation and everything that happens to its citizens.
As I mentioned in my previous blog, the Karma of this land is to be in chaos, to be always turbulent and to emerge victorious out of it.
The people who inhabit it are true embodiments of this spirit of free will and bringing any forced order to it will never be possible or will not bring in positive results in the long run, for there will be some other force that will run that will be percieved to be 'against' the orderly thought process.

Hence all of us in this nation should learn to 'interpret' things for our own convenience to have a more 'fulfilling life

- with just one caveat -

keep the morality and conscience aspect in mind, so that your interpretation does not hinder someone else's interpretation - something similar to the old English phrase which is no longer being used anywhere in our regular lexicon -
"your freedom ends where my nose begins"
