THE WORLD’S BIGGEST FAMILY!

in General Tags: Chana, Family, India, Marriage, Population, Ziona Chana
On a quite working day, with not much work to dispense off, browsed through the PICTURES OF THE DAY on the event of 7 Billionth babies’ arrival.
The Picture was “A man with 39 wives, 94 children and 33 grand children”
The picture could capture all of Ziona Chana’s family in a single frame, but I could not imagine how he could manage ‘The world’s biggest family’!
It would be quite a management thing going through the demands of the ‘Family’.
What made this man Mr. Chana take up such an adventure?
Was it the demand that prompted him for spreading aggressively or the excessive supply which drove his largesse?
CHANA SECT
It was the zeal to expand his Chana sect and what followed is this complete family photograph!

CAPITALISM AT ITS PEAK!
The Chana sect has 400 families as members of which Ziona Chana is the head.
“Even today, I am ready to expand my family and willing to go to any extent to marry,” Ziona said. Capitalism at its peak! See what Globalization has done to the simple institution of marriage.
SOCIALISM TO THE CORE!
How does he share his love with his 39 wives? He might be having enough love for many but he is only one. The youngest wife gets to sleep in the room next to him while others take turns to share his bed. Socialism to the core!

Mr. Chana did not stop looking for wives. ‘To expand my sect, I am willing to go even to the U.S. to marry,’ he said.
Beware boys, we have competition!
Rinkmini, one of Mr Chana’s wives who is 35 years old, said: “We stay around him as he is the most important person in the house. He is the most handsome person in the village.” Quite an appeal for this polygamist.

The family of 181 members staying together in one home! IT MUST BE LOVE.

Got 100! Finally

The idea of getting a 100 was in the air since march last year, but never thought this would happen so early. It’s not Sachin’s 100th 100. It is my 100th Post on this Blog!
The media is creating much hype around Sachin’s hundred. Dhoni is right in saying that it will happen when it has to!
My 100 is happening today.
This writing journey has been exciting and scoring 100 is a small token from all the readers I should say. Many thanks to all of you for your patient reading, comments and sharing. I might have bored you with my Dot balls and Singles.
I might have forced to read with the continuous sharing on Orkut, Facebook and Google+ . But my intention was to score a SIX. I have to say that I just hit the ball, you carried some of them, with your reading, to FOURS , SIXES and beyond!
I started Blogging when my friend Bharath started his. It turned into my favorite hobby. Writing Blog has been a kind of Stress buster, a platform to hone my writing skills, to express my thoughts and ideas. A thought of stopping came some time ago when no one was really reading them and I was not feeling inspired to continue posting. Don’t know what made me continue and I became BLOGOMANIAC!
Whether I am celebrating to a full gallery or the empty stands, it’s a nice feeling. Some comments would make it more warm!

Its the meeting room of a Revenue Department office in a small town Mahabubnagar in the big state of Andhra Pradesh, India. No one knows the reason for calling this untimely meeting. Everyone was thinking ‘What did Sakku Bai make for lunch today’. Sakku runs the canteen where all the employees have their lunch.
“Bhai Aur Bahno“, started the Head officer which sounded political than brotherly or sisterly, “the reason for this meeting is as we already know that there is widespread drought in our District and many farmers are migrating as construction labor”
‘What about the drought in our stomachs now?’ thought many.
“So I on behalf of the Collector office I propose that we skip lunch every alternate day and donate that money to the ‘BACK TO FARMING’ Fund. This is already being implemented in Municipality and a great success”
With lot of resistance the employees gave it a ‘thumbs up’.
“Can we eat lunch today?” asked one employee and everyone is laughing
The ‘Skip a lunch’ program spreads to all other offices and businesses through the word of hungry mouths. This in in vogue. ” We skip lunch alternate day” other says “we skip lunch every day”
‘SKIP A MEAL ALTERNATE DAY’ became ‘SKIP A MEAL EVERY DAY’ and the sense of responsibility and accomplishment replaced everyone’s lunch boxes.
On the other side Canteen and restaurant owners like Sakku Bai are going out of business as very few are having lunch. Owing to very little business, they stopped buying vegetables from the farmers, grains from the stores. Very few farmers who are still farming sell their produce to these canteens as they offered little more than the middle men.
Farmers are forced to sell to the middle men and all the money goes to the money lenders. They too had to skip their lunch!
And the money donated by “BACK TO FARMING” Fund goes to money lenders – BACK TO THE RICH!
Their children had to skip school of course lunch, the teachers had to skip lunch too!
One fine summer day they get into the bus to Mumbai (all the drought hit towns of Andhra Pradesh have direct buses to Mumbai) to take up construction work leaving behind everything while the people are skipping their lunches.

We are moving away from self-reliant communities into a Globalized World where many things are interdependent.
- If Greece needs all of Europe to pitch in to resolve its economic crisis,
- If a boy in India can only marry if Americans keep buying Indian software,
- If a child in China can only eat if a child elsewhere buys toys,
- If a child can have calm night if somewhere someone explodes the Sivakasi crackers
then this is not an ideal world for the symbolic 7 billionth children!
boom time - gloom time http://www.deccanherald.com
P.S. – Its not a mockery of Skipping a meal. Its noble and shows how much we care for others. I am only using it to illustrate how everything is intertwined and how delicately we are balanced, how a small thing can trigger a disaster and how our insanity and stupidity are self-destructive. Regrets if this offended anyone.
