Happy Diwali

The diwali has always been special.The crackers light the dark sky with rockets roaring across making a perfect canvas to capture. The sky at night during diwali time is breath taking. If you happen to be at some metros where there are no space for the individuals to express their share of joy. To get the spirit of fireworks they have two choices to opt for.One the road in front of the house and the other sky above the house.In chennai if u happen to drive during a diwali day through any in-cut road then you are guaranteed to experience some war field scenario. Both sides of the road people will be standing the throwing the crackers to the middle of the road. But seeing the joy and spirit with everyone celebrates dissolves the anger if any within you. The next special which diwali has are the rockets which people send across..I mean they are intended to touch sky but a bit change in direction and landed them inside neighbors living room. Here in Chennai people spend their money getting crackers,shopping new clothes (u can see boards in front of showrooms offering buy two get five free offer) and then making sweets.

My diwali morning started at 7 .I had a quick bath. To add surprise to the day even my friend Suraj too took a bath on the day. I wish every day was diwali. Then as usual the yoga session.It was around 8.30 I decided to go for BF. When I came went outside to my surprise all were celebrating diwali and no hotel was open.I thought I will celebrate my diwali with millions of other Indians who would be left hunger. But the sudden flash of thought that a malayalee hotel would be remaining send waves of happiness. I thought of staying with the minority of Indians who will have their BF.Took my bike and had a Juice from there with bread omelet which I took only a half.The second half I packed and brought back home for Jimmy as he was hiding in wour bathroom outside afraid of the crackers bursting around. He was happy to have a surprise BF..Poor dog..the sound of crackers is too much to bear for them.Now need to wash clothes and make few calls..Now thinking of lunch and dinner..lets c hw the Diwali Day goes on. Happy,prosperous and a colorful Diwali to all.

India still crawls well Behind in moulding true leaders.

Few days back when i was reading through the news paper, news about Sanjay Dutt contesting the elections on SP's ticket grabbed my attention. This news certainly had a element of glamour in it. Of course the 'Munna Bhai' factor and perhaps this would be same reason that they are thinking of staging Munna as their party man in the election. The Munna effect can grab the layman and ensure that he would stamp for Munna . Of course these are those set of people who participate in elections just for the sake of it. 

Let’s have a retrospection of Sanjay. Though there were times in his career that could really tear it down, he still managed to make it to the top in his field. The effects of his movies where tricking down and reached all sections of people. The latest of the series Hits with him playing as Munna was restoring the lost glory of Gandian values. People found the magic that non-violence can create. Well that’s looking from his career perspective. But when his personal life is looked on, it seems like a wretched story. The involvement in the Bombay riots, the possession of arms and trail of another incidents which few days back ended him in Jail with the media crying out for the Sanjay Bhai's innocence all are bright in our memories. But Crime is crime and there is no escape. With such an history of broken personal charisma the real question would be is he really strong to lead people morally and can the people look at him as a leader for future, at least form hia constituency. May be or may not be. I don’t know.

Any way that’s a question that future will answer. But i got the real shock I got was when I heard that Sanjay would not be able to contest due to legal hurdles (may be,he would) and SP is looking his wife as a alternative with Sanjay campaigning for her. This shows how much importance we are giving to leaders of future who will drive the country. This shows how low morale the political parties can have while selecting a leader. It clearly shows it’s not that they are believe Sanjay as a leader who can be the voice of millions, but their faith with Sanjay who with a tag Bollywood could turn the election results in favour of the respective party. This attitude of the political parties to win at any cost by contesting quality less glamour leaders who really can’t be the leaders should be rechecked. This not only gives us a light towards the future with strong leaders to guide us but also helps our country to be as strong as what we dream of her to be.
Jai Hind.

Stay floated,stay ahead.

It was sudden decision. to be frank one which always resided in my heart from long back. The memories of sitting out as a odd one when ever i visited my fathers village when other children of my age swam across the temple pond sent a chill across. I avoided having bath there coz of my lameness in swimming. I always wondered hw people managed to stay afloat. My mom always insisted me in learning swimming. but i couldnt do it,there where thousand of lame excuses.
The day had came to pull the strings close.i decided to do something in order to control my belly dia..and the best way sorted out was learn swimming..There where two options for that..a doudle shot..one it cuts the fat in ur bodythe second u can learn swimming..Put a brave face across those whom made u feel ashamed coz of ur attitude difference towards water.So we decided to explore the near by resources and tally them with ur financial status.I and my friend had to face a volley of sarcasms from my friends when i kept the idea of swimming..Now it was do or die..Coz u said it and u have to keep it,atleast for ur peaceful existence there.We paid the amount and then joined for a 15days class..

15days is too less for a person like me to atleast catch up with water, Any way i was standing in position where i cant walk back..We bought swimming shots and a cap..atleast something is better is than nothing.The big Day arrived..we walked across the pool with a feel of guiltiness for punishing myself against the cold water which paused my beat at heart at least for few seconds..The first day was quiet boring..A good tube was given and we made to float with the aid of that..our hands where subjected to rigorous motion for creating ripples in water to keep as float..We felt like,its not easy,lets call it off...But something’s when poised to complete, gets completed in across conditions.

The second day the same was followed with an addition of legs to it..My legs moved in a V shape pushing the water across like a paddle boat..When i tried coordinating both arms and legs it was like a frog in water..i remembered the ones i used to see across in the near by fields,a sense of respect for them filled in me.The tube was removed on day3..Perphaps if someone was there to see me and my friend swimming they would have a cardiac arrest coz of our style of swimming..it was like a boat trying to keep itself stabilized in a sea swept by huge waves.Though we drank hell of water by the end of the hour we learned to keep stabilised atleast for few seconds even though that method may suck ur total energy..But a milestone was achieved.

Day 4-7 we praticised in expertise breast stroke and we succeded..The rest of days where kept apart for different styles like free stroke,butterfly etc..The day which we really started enjoying water was day11..Once ur done with the learning u feel urself quiet comfortable across the cool water which shivers the laziness in u.The days passed without out notices. There where few breaks between the 15days..it extended finally to around 30 to complete the 15day course..But the sense of been a more better compared to others whom cant swim gives a feel of good..Why shouldn’t i learn swimming in this world when 76% of her itself is been covered by water itself...Lets keep gng to enjoy the strokes of joy and refreshment.

i was born alone..lived alone...died alone..Thts life

I was born alone to parents whom i havent ever seen...I never thought of them really...By the age i was able to think i was left homeless in streets fighting for food and keeping away from the machos who ruled the street..A life which i live for no reason but for some cause which the lord sent me here...

My day started early morning..after a small tour across the street i would settle near by the hotel whose owner was merciful to lent me part of food thrown from the hotel..I was pleased with that..having my part of food from there was a routine..the same set of my fellows share the food given...but the elders were always respected(coz they would throw u apart)...Then i would enjoy the morning rays by laying myself across the tarred road..its a pleasure sandwiching urself with the coolness from the tar and the rays breaking down their part of heat to refresh me...i would lay down enjoying the busy morning street..people dressed across races,age would be racing towards their destinations..some say..."look at the cute laying there"..i feel myself been embraced with a layer of pride...I wonder why people rush..its only once u live,live it.

The clock ticks,i notice it by the changing direction of rays and the feel of heat..with a sluggishness i drag my body against the gravity to spring back on my four legs..Its time for a tour.Been the watchman of the street ur quiet responsible for the activites happening there..Moving across the street i see myself standing at the other end of the gate watching me with a sense of selfnes..I believe it dosent matter which side of the gate u belong when u get food and shelter.My legs drag across the tar which slowly catches with the heat from the rays of the moving sun.The street has died out with all the noises been wipped off..coz not much activity is there..people walk across with small wishpers which some times break into appauld..The hotel soon catches the noon fever..large section of people fill the hotel room to fill their part of stomach..The heat force me to pull acros the shades of the tree near by...After having food from the hotel,people sit across the tree besides me and enjoy the lighter side of life...

By this time my fellows would be hovering near by calling me for the sweet lunch..We share the food some times with few barks but have it to the neck..Now its time for a sleep..i feel myself like a feather floating across in my dreams...The shade shifts its direction calling me everytime to allign myself with it.Who said its not bad to dream during day..i enjoy my dreams..playing with my friends,having food across and a lot more..The street soon sprouts back to life with children back from school.They dance,sing songs and enjoy life to the brim..Its time for me to have some exercises..i run towards the beach wher my friends would have already settled and started playing..its time when all ur feelings dissolve in a thick soup of friendship.We run across the beach till the panting over comes the spirit..Laying down the beach till the sun departs make my soul peacefull..i see humans pampering their children..

As the night pulls down i find a right place to settle against the cold winds which pulls the life out of ur heart..The night slowly crawls in..i sharpen my ears to the sounds across..coz i have responsibility of the entire street hanging down my shoulders..i enjoy the night...Sleep catches slowly..i think..who iam i,why iam i here...but i know everything god does is for a cause..a cause which people search throughout their life and never find till the music in them dies out ...

TATA's ONE LAKH CAR : NANO

10th of January would be marked with a golden lining in the books of automobile history. I know iam dng wrong by categorizing. The day the world witnessed the launch of ONE LAKH car from the TATA : NANO. The name itself indicates its size.The project has been speculating over the automobile industry for quiet a long time thus unfolding itself in a true arena.The world watched with breath held when the man behind the car himself drove it to the stage.What more would show you the spirit of that gentleman towards his dream project.The words delivered by him where selected,Some can be even quoted for further uses...the one which grabbed my attention was "A PROMISE IS A PROMISE"..truly inspiring. The man then readily answered for everyones views on his project.

Achieving such dreams when others points only on your weak side needs a lot determination. A drive tht could revolutionaies entire automobile industry. Ratan tata in his speech told the story behind his idea the common man's car. He dreamed a car for every family.Such moves which totally changes the tide should always be welcomed.

Every one now could dream of a car which was far from layman's dream till y'day..now the reality has touched the bottomline.Lets wait and se how the market reacts...My hearty congratulation's to MR TATA for achieving his dream and drawing a line closer for others too to dream for their NANO.

saturday and sunday life seems so big....but?

For me Friday is the brightest working day,i do hope its same for others...friday morning its a total new energy tht the heart pumps....a smile draws on my heart getting reflected from my body language.The day you need not tuck all the stuff into,so plain clothes in causal style...the wave of energy u can feel from others across....it seems like a convicts much awaited release day..all hum and tune for others tunes....
at office ur greeted with morning wishes from those whom usually stays firm to their desk.that adds to the package.................

you feel like u have started loving work and u wanted to complete it quickly.The canteen seems like heaven where food is served and obviously the causal clothes never keep yours eyes have rest form the opposite sex.The food so junk u usually felt seems like a new pudding cooked with honey.And after the lunch ur totally relaxed,moving slowly towards a holiday mood.This state of mind pulls you from meeting ur boss coz u never no when will the guns burst and spoil ur dream days.You observe a mismatch of time in ur PC and in ur wrist watch.You complain of a toiling week u spend and prescribes ur self rest...at last its 6,your holiday starts. By this time u would have called all ur friends whom u stay with or staying near by ur home and would have a worked out a good plan of "how to execute the holidays with maximum efficiency"...the only plan you consider the word efficiency.


The Friday night u light the fire by having a party at ur terrace or a near by bar.All share their worries at work and cries on their broken chance to hatch new relationships.A part advices,others feels like he is joking,but in total all are involved.The night u let sleep all ur worries and let allow ur dreams buy the reality.U talk for long,the time you usually felt so sleepy at office u urself feels so energized...coz theory of relativity(why dragging all those unwanted stuff into)..at last u decides to call off the party as the sun peeps to check whether all have slept and moon switches off her light).. You never feel the effect of the friday party when u wake in the morning coz u have so much to enjoy.U fix all those plans within th 24hrswhich u cant even execute with 100% efficiency for next 72hours...still u feel happy..u check for new releases and their comments and at last deciding to go for show u get the ticket even though u are not tallying fully with the film..u enjoy the crowd and have a good break and then food from ur favorite restaurant.You find ur friends all running across to meet their freak schedule.You feel like u need one more shirt or trousers..so u move to a shopping mall where u are seduced by the number of credit cards which allow u to spent without a fear of price tag.Its again feast for eyes.u enter pizza hut or some other junk food stall and serve urself with the favorite dish..at last with a feel of satisfaction u decides to board back.You are excited when u think of the next day..the day red at calender(its the only place where red color is used to indicate peace,coz Sunday is mostly a peacefully day).

Sunday starts with ur cup of tea and having a glance across the Hindu which u feels worth for the small amount u spent.You check for the TV schedules for the first time the week and feels too much disappointed..You decide to cook on the typical day coz every one would be at home at least till noon(coz of washing clothes).You finish ur cooking and washing and then takes a small snap.You dress for a walk or small shopping.The beach looks like a crowded town..still u find a place to turn ur football.After the game you lie on the beach with ur thoughts sinking urself for
the worries of the 5days to come ahead.You feel like life is so bore and you wants the weekends to continue forever.You sleep with the bitter pill 'tomorrow' in ur mind taking half of ur energy. The Monday morning u seem tht life is so cruel to u. You hate looking towards the clock.Everything goes wrong.Ur trousers never losses its wrinkles and the shoes reflect ur Fridays spirit..U murmur i hate my Monday mornings...You even thinks of plans like the company's should commit half day leave for their employees...ur minds seems confused...but till the CLOCK runs........

Pondichery from dawn to dusk

the planning was sudden.the idea of an pondi trip was held in my my mind from long time back..and this was time to foster it...we had a indica taxi to drive with..the journey started with the dawn. we did had a tailor made plan..everything was Instantaneous,coz tailor made plans always had its pull of energy to keep up with the schedule.

we started with mahabalipuram,the stone works against the blue sky was a feast for an photographer...every snap made some sense...the temples had tonnes of history to speak with us....coz they have been standing there for generations....the architecture was a marvel..the only thing stopping us from exploring more was the radiant sun rays...

all was built majestically..i was amazed to see few guides explaining the rock carvings to foreigners,it made me think i was knowing a bit of our history...they were rewriting history accordingly to their flavor to match with the carvings,pathetic....

we started there by 12pm and reached pondi by 3pm...had our lunch with pondi special....Then back to hotel...four in a room,rent too reasonable......seems coming from chennai to pondi i could feel the big difference....difference across everything...room rent,food,drinks everything...
after a brief snap we moved towards beach...

the beach drawn across sunset was awesome..a good walk on the beach was refreshing...sea on my right and french style buildings on my right...we could see the police parade playing different tunes...one thing u notice with the policemen are their stylish hats....
after a good walk we returned back to our rooms,freshened our self
and directed our driver to the best pub there...
but to our big disappointed only two notable pubs where there..any
way we found them and dashed for one....to add to our disappointment the pub was only a local bar with a strong board PUB outside the building...any way we decided to give our search and have our drinks from there...everything was fine...
Next day was greeted by the energizing rays..the town was totally painted well with the rays reaching every nuke and corner..we boarded our car and headed straight towards matrimandir inside aurbindu ashram....it was a ashram which had 2000 people across
different nationalities gathered for different purpose cutting across religion and region....for a common cause....After having a good look around the ashram we were directed towards matrimandir which
they have built for meditation...luck not favoring us we were not allowed to enter inside the mandir(coz some renovation work was gng on)...so by 12 we packed off everything and moved back towards chennai...
Pondichery trip was a much awaited break and surely a must visit place if ur in chennai..The stay is available in plenty with reasonable rates and the food is also good...Good time to visit is September to march...The trip was memorable for the places we visited and people we met across(people are very helping in guiding the way)..
