No more Prabhakaran (only)Since the death of the LTTE leader doesnt mean that tamils are not going stop asking for eelam and get cleansed ethnically(slow poison as happened to Kashmiri Pandits)Still their choice is to run to Canada (better option) or Tamil Nadu(be ready to sidelined).

Terror attacks by MediaI feel Terrorists are better than our Indian Media, atleast they killed only 22 real people and 170 mosquitoes(i mean Indians). Private News channels killed the entire nation. This is where i miss the good old Doordarshan news which was not partial, the news readers of it showed no expression whether it is a death or birth, no provocative or manipulated emotional pictures

Indian Independence...Before 60 years British did a grievous mistake of their life by giving India its freedom. Today we still regret the same and await patiently for their next turn. When countries like Germany, Japan shooted their economies after World Wars, India remained the same but they call it unity in Diversity(all states doing nothing unitedly).

Khajuraho - place of sculptural exuberanceOh i forgot i had been blogging for a while, quite busy with my TT @ office, so no time before the system. For many days it had been my pending travel wish, that is to visit Khajuraho, mainly to know why it is famous. Those who may read it feel that this guy must be stupid for not knowing what is famous there. But really there is much more. How it

Kurushetra-the venue of MahabharataOne of my friends had come from Hyderabad, we both were busy playing Table Tennis througout the week at office, so to get rid of that fatigue due to work we decided to spend some time away from the city. We had to decide between Khajuraho and Kurusheta. Since we had only one day to spare we decided to drive to Kurushetra. Started towards my friends guest

Astrology prediction....I had subscribed to a daily astrology, though dont believe on that , it has always been amusing to read them. Today one of the so called predictions read" You could suffer a financial setback; be prepared."and the next line said"Prospects for romance appear bright"So they have also accurately predicted the reason why someone of that Sign is going to face a Financial

Blocked American Late Night humour siteI couldnt really sense the logic behind my company in blocking American Late Night humour site. Of course Letterman and Leno keep discuss about Michael Jackson/Clinton or Bush, but that doesnt mean that this should be categorized as adults only and violent. Adding to the agony is that they have not blocked Indiatimes site, in which each and every word

Tabla Exam....I have been always a voluntary risk taker, first was my fight with french, now it was Tabla. Of course by learning french neighbours were not affected but Tabla has indeed created many Pakistans and Chinas around me. And another irony is that whatever exams i take have miniscule amount of work related to theory and bloody lot of practicals which blatantly reveals my ignorance.My

Kashmir Problem - my doubts..Lots of appreciation is pouring in for Musharraf as if he had nullified the border between India and Pakistan. According to my perception this issue is in a deadlock situation and cannot be resolved. India claims LOC as border which Pak refuses to accept and there is a seperate hurriyat group which says that we want Independent Kashmir. To whom India is going to talk

Hunting GangulyI dont watch much of cricket but nowadays jokes about Ganguly are outnumbering Sardar Jokes as the ODI's are going on between India and Pak(between two friendly enemies). I always believe that any match played by India is rigged, since politics start right from the Selection committee to the Last Ball of an match series. Why blame Ganguly is my question? When the entire ten are

The location chosen was Garhmukteshwar, it is the nearest Ganga Ghat to Delhi. It is located on the National Highway(NH24) to Lucknow in UP.

Valentines dayFor the past two weeks whenever i switch on the any of the FM station, they were singing only song called "Valentines day", Even a Diwali or Christmas didnt have this much vociferous support a week before. As a utter failure with opposite sex right from pre-nursery days i didnt have a chance to celebrate that anyway. Most of the girls in our vicinity were carrying 2-20 Roses (

Rani mukerjee plays the role of the challenged girl, and Amitabh bachan as the God father who brings light into her otherwise violent and dark life. The surprise factor is that of Ayesha kapoor a 10

Is sacrifice of animals really neccessary I was shocked when i came to know that four camels have been bought in chennai for laying it as bait during the Bakrid festival,even The Times of India had some pictures of camels ready to be taken for sacrifice. They are feeling proud of it since it is the first time camels are going to be slayed here. Any sacrifice of animals under religious reasons

Amritsar - some Info. Was quite occupied with my office schedule(taking rest all the time) so i thought to beat it out last weekend and do something actively. I was all alone as most of my friends were out of town last saturday. So instead of beating the bush at home i decided to go to Amritsar. It was so foggy that day so i dropped the idea of driving in the car. Next option was train, which

That was a great year of 2K4 I really enjoyed the last part of the Year. I have no regrets for the Tsunani victims, i need to tell it apathetically because i believe in the policy "You meddle with the Nature, Nature will screw you back", I dont think so this will be the end of the Natures Fury, we humans go on polluting the Land, air ,water and ruin the ecological balance , so ultimately this

Though it is not proper to come to any conclusion until he has been declared guilty by the court what's interesting to see is the daily turn of events in this case. At first Kathiravan a primary accused who killed the guy in the temple had reverted back saying that he

Nice Diwali This Diwali I was celebrating in Chennai. This was the only diwali with so much dhamaka in TamilNadu without Fireworks. It was raining heaviliy in chennai which was 25% more than expected. When i turned on the TV I was a hearing a new song called Jayalalitha Subrabatham, followed by Jayalalitha Ashtothram.

Film Azagia Theeye I had always been an ardent fan of Prakashraj and his films, this one is churned out from his Banner. The film revolves around 4 young people who work as art directors in the Tamil Cine Industry and how they get tangled in troubles while helping the heroine to annul her marriage arrangements. The hero is Prasanna(remember the film "Five Star") and heroine is Navya nayar.
