About Me

My photo
Very difficult to describe about me. But I guess am simple person who has taken the path shown by life. Made best use of circumstances and chance. Never to blame fate or luck. Take life as it comes. But definitely give your best shot. I like music of Illayaraja, songs of SP Balasubramian, Kishore Kumar, Mohammed Rafi, PB Srinivasan to name a few. I believe in the Hindu Tradition and follow it very closely as practical.

Human Dividers.. Think about it.

I took out my Scoprio MHawk at 9.15 to the office. As usual the traffic was chaotic. I hit the first signal to see a man comming and waiving a Car Charger for sale, He hits the glass and I tell him no. Just as I say a no and bring up the window a Woman comes across with a child asking for money. The signal clears and I drive through for a KM and stop at the next signal. After clearing around 4 signals I hit the final stretch to my Office.
On the small road to the office enough for 2 cars to travel, I am used to seeing the CARS from the other side on my way. I also see Autos comming from behind taking the Right Lane blocking Traffic. But to my joy and surprise, I see the other lane is clear and traffic is flowing smoothly like a song from Illayaraja or AR Rehman. Just I proceed a couple of feet and I see a Human Divider. I see a Traffic Volunteer standing in the middle and acting as a divider instructing vehicles to ply within the lane. First thing that stuck to me is does, this guy having enough insurance to cover up his medical expenses . There is a every possibility of this human divider being hit & injured.
What a cruel state of affairs?. Where are the Human Rights Activists? Where is the Media? Are the Media waiting for the Hype to be created before opposing or critising this? Where is the social and moral responsibililty? Why can't we setup dividers or disciple rather than look for Human Divider?.

Slum Dog Millionaire!. Why the Hype! Apartheid in the Entertainment World.

I am movie Buff and view Movies on a regular Basis. I did happen to watch the Movie Slum Dog Millionaire on the day of release, of course after paying a premium. The Media Hype about the Movie and the n number of Oscar Nomination received for the Movie made me decide on paying the Premium. I do acknowledge it was a well made movie, directed very well, right actors for the right character and good music score. What a shame we talk of equality in the World? But I thought if this movie received so much of hype & attention than I thing the World has been very very unfair to Directors & Movie Makers of INDIA. There has been N movies which have been of the same class or even even better which hasn't received so much of Hype and Attention.

Is this because the director and producer are White collared People, Is Apartheid Surfacing in the entertainment world. Some movies which come to my memory off hand "Tare Zameen Par", "Lagaan", "Mozhi" , "Aarth", "Nayagan" the many Movies of Raj Kapoor, Shivaji Ganesan. Isn't this Apartheid in the Entertainment Industry!!

Wake Up call.

26/11 to INDIA was what 9/11 was to US, the difference US was able to go after the organization responsible and bomb. Isreael is able to go behind Hamas time and again and take the offensive at will.

It is a shame that India faces the brunt of so much of bloodshed from banned organizations outside INDIA be it in Mumbai, Delhi, Bangalore or in the North East or from the Naxals but unable to act except see Statements from Politicians . We are facing this situation due to lack of any Political Will from our leaders. We don't have a single point policy from our leaders. Our leaders lack focus and the sincerity. Each time a blast happens the Leaders issue meaningless statements which is of NO VALUE and after 2 weeks of headlines in the TV News, the blast disappears from the Main stream & is forgotten.

It is time our leaders wake up and be sincere else their own Near & Dears would bear the brunt of politicisation of a terrorism. We as people need to wake up and act, and ensure there is a Appropriate Law setup to Handle 26/11 or Gauwhati Blasts like Situation.(needs participation and ownership from SMEs rather than politicians). This need to be done on a War Footing and with no interference from Politician at any point present or in the future, given that 100% of Indian have given up HOPE on the Political Class.

The Politician are to be blamed for the situation today and I think a revolution is required to Happen in INDIA. Else God can only Save US. The 26/11 & Gauhwati is a Wake up Call. Wake Call Indians..

In the time of Economic Recession the youngsters can look at moving into Serving the Nation by joining the ARMED FORCES, POLICE, Administrative Services or even enter Politics to do to INDIA what greats like Kennedy did to US.
