Celebrating Four Months of The Ethmag with the launch of our new logo - The All-Seeing Eye

The All-Seeing Eye - The new logo for The Ethmag - Ethmos Magazine
































So, we lived and completed our first four months in the big bad but beautiful world.  By now, many of our readers might have got an idea regarding what Ethmos is and on what ethos and ideas it stands for.  The Ethmag - The Ethmos Magazine, is our mouthpiece and we just put forward our frank and unbiased views in front of our readers - views which the traditional media thinks "unimportant" but which nonetheless affect the lives of the aam aadmi of our Bharat varsh.  So on the anniversary of completing four months of existence we decided to do something more stupid and released our logo.


The logo is a simple visualization of a hexagonal triangle, which represents the thought processes moving in all directions and an eye inside the same which represents the nature of Ethmos - i.e. nearly nothing misses our view.  It may seem very primitive and stupid to some, but that's that and that's what we are - whether you like it or not!

Now taking a peep into the past four months and summarizing what Ethmos has given to our Bharat - there is only one conclusion that we can come with - we have given some radical, mind-boggling, country and world reforming, weird but unique ideas that if implemented even in partiality can lead to significant changes in the quality of the life for the common man on the streets.  When the whole media was busy following some socialite's murder case, going about "society babas" and "political babas" (and giving stupid acronym names like "RaGa"), we were busy looking into the problems faced by an average middle-class person (who includes nearly 70% to 80% of any country's population), thinking about possible solutions day and night, discussing them for hours with brainstorming sessions that stretched our brain's capacity to handle stress as well as mobile radiations, and then finally coming to conclusions that were and are not only unique but practical and applicable and the only thing required to implement them is the political will to do - nothing more and nothing less - that's what we did and that's what we gave you.  In case you have missed anything, here is a small gift of the Ethmotican ideas to our world:-

Problem
Solutions that we offered
1.        Corruption and black money
2.       Food security and agrarian crisis
Unified Agricultural Policy – Part I and Part II
3.       Defence issues
4.       The Rail conundrums
1.  Partnership of the Indian Railways.
2.  One more view
5.       Finance and Economy
1.  The Pradhan Mantri Bima Yojanas
2.  The Golden Investments
3.  The Economic Cost Concepts
4.  Mergers in the Banking industry

We also sometimes got so frustrated from our bloody systems that we wrote real stupid and satirical jibes at our present systems and institutions, some of which even offended many high-profile babus sitting on the top!  Some of our famous satirical jibes were on the Indian Railways, banking industry transfer policies, farmer suicides, and the Bharatiya R&D sector.

We also stumbled sometimes in our path and did seem to get one of our predictions wrong regarding the downfall in the prices of the gold metal by November-December 2015.  But even that was a very big learning experience and we learnt never to underestimate the power of stupidity of the general junta who will grab anything (regardless of its use or utility) if they are given at a discount.

But for one wrong prediction, we were vindicated in one correct prediction regarding the glut of sugarcane in the Bharatiya agricultural industry with the government now urging the sector to export the extra produce in order to get some price and pay the poor farmers.  Our Unified Agricultural Policy idea provides the solution for the myriad of problems affecting our agrarian sector as well as bring in food security for the billions of us.

In the meantime, we introduced one more hopeless of our characters - The Mr. Nobody, a la common man of the Ethmos, which was nothing but a way of mortifying our own views into a common point of vision for the public.

So, at the end of four months of existence, what did we do?  We can only say what we DID, but you can JUDGE what we did and did not; and only time will tell, that we were indeed right.  Now that's the height of obnoxious attitude - but then again, that's what we are!

Thank you and Happy Ethmos to All!
