As the sun shines bright.. and flowers blossom..
The dews that disappear as a lazy lad..
The chirping of birds amidst lush green field...
The geometric ripples on the tranquil lake...
The complete silence in the middle of this island...
You look at your watch.. its 10' o clock...!!!
Wake up to reality... enough of dreams ;)
Its time to say Good morning ;)
- Have a great day..

MSN India - Chief of Army Staff lashes out
MSN India - Chief of Army Staff lashes out
Well, the politicians are now turning to the backbone of India- the army- to destabilize it with religion politics and reservations!
Imagine a person having reservation getting a slot in Army and does not know how to shoot! A great way to defend a nation!!!
I have serious reservations about reservation system implemented in our country!!
Why would you need to have reservation based on religion, reservations can be given in eductation based on economical position, cause the parents are not able to afford them education and hence the support of governement would be appreciated.
I see reservation system doesnt do good to the society in any way. Poor citizens are still poor, because they cannot utilize the reservation, as the well offs in that community are competing with the poor guys, though the same slots of reservation!
But still why people are not realising this potential falw in the reservation! Are we Indians so dumb! or we are actiing as if we are dumb!

Angeeti - Great Food. And good interiors!
After our maiden trip to eSeva (Me and Rohit)... he treated me at a place called Angeeti. Its near to the Care hospital in Banjara hills. This treat is a long pending one for his new born baby :)
The treat turned out to be the most best north indian food i have ever had till date!
What ever food we had, it was jusst amazing.. though i am not a Connoisseur of food, generally even dont care what the taste of the food.. the food there was entralling and was just great.
If you happen to visit Hyderabad, i would recommend you to give it a try.
Also on the ambience, it was very nice and sutle. I some how liked the kinda old art they displayed :) but just when i thought about that Rohit told he too liked the art! So i guess its appealing to most of the guys!
Hyderabad- eSeva - Corporation- My Salute
Yesterday, i went to couple of places with my friend/collegue Rohit. We basically wanted to register the birth of his son :) So we need to go and get his son's birth registered. So we drove to the Banjara hills e-Seva center.
This is the place where the sub registrar sits. Our expectation is that, since this involves government machinery..we thought..we would spend the whole day there for the papers to get passed from one table to another. But to our surprise, we just finished the whole process in 10 minutes. Do you believe this? The sub registar Mr.Vijaya Kumar, just obliged and started the process, told us for now the process is complete and we can collect the other documents on Tuesday! No grudging no wasting time!
I am basically from Chennai, Tamil Nadu, if the same thing has to happen in chennai, it would definelty take longer time and some irritation with the attitude of the government officials there!
Now am aweing at these good natured officials, india is not totally in bad shape.. :)

Tagged:Of Cartoons and Paintings
I have been tagged by Megha so here I go..
First to Quote Megha on this topic:
"M.F.Husain, the so called "Picasso" of India has made horrendous albeit atrocious illustrations for a book by Daniel Alan Herwitz showing various Hindu Godesses not just indulging in sexual acts with their significant other(which we see in temple sculptures anyway) but indulging in open bestiality, yes bestiality. For you lost innocent souls and for those of you who have been living under a rock until now, bestiality means indulging in sexual acts with an animal. "
If Mr Husain thinks what he creates is a beautiful piece of art, then why should the names of Indian/Hindu Gods /Godess be given? Is that purely coincidental? If its not coincidental and if its delibrate, why the hell is such an insult being taken so lightly!
If we say this is because we are very tolerant to other religions! And this is what we call Secularism?
I dont think this is tolerance, religious tolerance can be defined to be tolerant with other ppl following their own faith. What this is accepting a huge insult and keeping mum because we are not powerful!
I dont think the way we act is secularism either! First of all what the heck the current polity of India defines secularism! I dont wanna dwell on this as my post would go in a different direction.
I recently saw a new political party formed by IITans.. visit http://www.paritrana.org. This seems to be a new initiative and brings in lotsa energy.
What ever Mr.Hussain is trying, this is my comments on his Art:
Mr Hussain, as a Hindu, i feel deeply hurt by your art that depics my Dieties(my Gods/ what I worship) in a very deregotory manner. I feel you would realise that these kinda arts do create pains at millions of Hindus and would suggest you to revert these arts back and destroy them.
I also recommed you not to indulge in such activities in future as it does deeply hurt our feelings!
To the world:
I deeply deplore the deregatory art forms of Mr Hussain and i feel we need to initiate a protest against this. But again will this solve the problem? Yes may be, but in the long run, to make our dignity to be saved from such actions, why dont we resolve to follow our faiths sincerely?
Why dont we play our part? Why dont we do the following sets of things....
1. Lets visit any temple atleast twice a week
2. Lets have a link in our websites stating that we support hinduism. Lets try to post good things about hinduism and spread knowledge about it.
3.Lets preach Hinduism and gift Geetha to non-hindus so that they get to know about our actual culture and richness of our heritage.
Let me know what you guys suggest?
Thanks
Aravinthan.

Prejudice against Hinduism: or is it just misplaced ignorance?
Thanks Mega for starting this discussion. Its nice to know that so many of us are in the same plate either because of Social events like those that happened to you or because of inquisitiveness that we want to know where we came from, why we follow certain things that we condider as our values and why we want to continue doing so and where we are heading in the future..
Lets first agree on certain qualities that tells us that would help us take correct and balanced decisions, why suddently into decision taking qualities! cause thatz when you take sensible decision which determines the way you approach things and which extrapolates as to how your future would be:)
To be very mature and take correct or impartial decisions on any topic, a person first should be satisfied in life and knows that he has all things that he needs. Once a person thiks he is safe and has all he needs like security , peaceful life, then he would have less turbulation in his mind and he would be able to take decisions on matters in a more im-partial manner.
Imagine you have every resource in this world you need at your disposal and you will continue to do so, now you have an issue on some thing, will you act to solve this problem in a best way? Yes you will.
But take a case of a person who has fear and is still working on satisfying his needs, would he take decisions on matters without any partiality? He may take some good impartial decisions, but most of them would be determined by the way he looks at the world, since he himself is not very secure, he would try to take decisions to make him more secure :) - Correct.
Now look at the culture of Western Nations, they have wealth, they have best education/ medicine (lets assume), but do they have security? I dont think so, the families there are hardly supportive of their older ones and younger ones.. this increases social insecurity.. Such an insecure society would strive to protect iteself from more charming society or a different change..
The only way to secure themselves is
1. To eliminate the others
2. Convert them as them.
This is what is happening. THis is why conversion is in there in first place!!
If there is a religion which is so right, then obvisouly ppl who do see the religion would get attracted and get automatically engulfed in it. You dont need organized conversion mechanisms and conversion ads that elude ppl to get converted.
Look at Hindusim, even though its followers are very less, it never tries to convert other ppl, cause it knows its a great religion that can survive on its own and doesnt need ppl to protect it. Agreed!
But now, since these religions which keep converting ppl all around the globe to satisfy their security needs, more and more ppl get victimised and in the process become more insecure and help in more conversions.
This seems to be a good chain that is challenging the Hinduism. Even though we need not worry as we feel hinduism will sustain its prominence, we should still attempt to increase its revival so that we dont loose on time.
If giving a handout of Bible to a non-christian is a good and welcome deed, why not Hindus hand over Bhagavat Gita to Christians? This is also a good and welcome deed! So lets start doing this first.
This way, they can atleast know about the greatness of Hinduism and we can spread the good love and affection to all.
What you guys say?

Rajeev Srinivasan on inaccuracy and discrimination
Rajeev Srinivasan on inaccuracy and discrimination
Well said.. I always awe and wonder why ppl give less respect to our own culture, am not against westernization, but the guys who tell our culture is not correct, do they actually have culture? If they have they wouldnt want to hurt another human's feelings.. !!
The only religion which doesnt believe in desperately converting others and thinks its mature enough way to live in peaceful co existence with other religions!!
When are we planning to see our inherent strengths and be proud to be what we are.. still a question? Or is we have started realising??
