Recently I added one more agenda to my New Year Resolutions - "Never wish anything for anybody without looking things from their perspective. Even though we wish with good intentions, it might end up hurting the protagonists.

{mosimage}1. I used to 'wish' my ex-boss abroad to get married soon, after learning about his broken marriage. Whenever possible I used to "reiterate" a remarriage. With the passage of time, the tables turned, I decided to stay away from marriage. Whenever I called him sometimes back he used to ask me about when I would get married. Sweet Revenge. These days whenever somebody asks me about my impending marriage, I cut short the topic with the answer "When I get married, I'll definitely keep you informed. Whats up next?". Atlast I have learnt to answer.

{mosimage}இன்று காலை ஆஃபீஸுக்கு போகும் வழியில் பயங்கர அடைசல். சரத்குமாரின் கட்சி ஆட்கள் நிறைய சுமோ, குவாலிஸ் போன்ற வண்டிகளில் பேரணி போல போய்க்கொண்டிருந்தார்கள். இந்த மக்கள் இவ்வளவு Dumb-ஆ? சரத்குமாரின் கட்சியில் 'தொண்டாற்ற'? விஜயகாந்த் பரவாயில்லை, எந்த கட்சியிலும் இல்லாமல் தனியாக துவங்கினார்(ன்). அதனாலேயே அந்த கட்சிக்கு ஓரளவுக்கு மரியாதை இருக்கிறது. சரத்குமாரோ அதிமுக, திமுக என இரண்டு கட்சிகளிலும் 'சுரண்டி'விட்டு சீந்துவாரில்லாமல் புது கட்சி தொடங்கியுள்ளார்(ன்). திமுக-விலிருந்து வெளியேறிய பிறகு ஜெயா டி.வி-யில் திமுக-வில் தனக்கு மத்திய மந்திரி பதவியாவது கொடுத்திருக்க வேண்டும் என்று ரசிகர்கள் ஃபீல் செய்தார்கள்.

{mosimage}After giving reviewing 2006 a skip (I was going through a low phase at that time, so not in a retro mood), I am now looking back 2007 objectively. A relatively significant year with a career change, fairly good one replete with happiness and shift in perspective towards life - that pretty sums up what 2007 what for me. Another year that made me mellow down inside and roughened up my exterior. They say that happiness brings everything - confidence, cherubic and cheers. 2007 got everything of them in needed quantities. As I am person believing in experinces - there is no good / bad experience but only lessons.

{mosimage}Again it confirms the doubt whether I am getting old.. What happened to my independecy in happiness? I love travelling and it became a passion when I was in Coimbatore. I remember one man asking in Malampuzha dam... "Ottaikku varunnathu valara borille?" (Isn't coming alone boring?) That day I was walking in the other side of the dam where literally none were there. I came closer to the channel and realised that it can be crossed by a boat only and boat club is also in the opposite side. I started walking back and this person asked me whether there was anyway to get into the opposite side. I said that we had to cross the dam and go to opposite side. He asked me whether I came alone to which I said yes! This reply above was for that only.

{mosimage}A couple of days back in NDTV and other news channels this case made headlines - In Delhi, a teacher recently stripped a 7 yr old girl for not doing the homework, tied her hands in the back, made her walk parade in front of the class. In Bangalore there was a case reportedly a teacher hit her student hard that her little finger had broken, another case with the student's left eye blinded. A couple of rape cases of 12th std girls by their chemistry teachers in the lab and more & more sexually abused students. All the incidents mentioned had happened in an years' span and reported in NDTV. This is only the cases that were brought to limelight by the media and volumes of similiar incidents might have gone undisclosed to public.

{mosimage}It is sheer irony that the intentions behind invention of the puranic muses got lost and the muses loomed larger than life leaving the essense behind by blind faiths and misinterpretations. Existence of God can be subject to individuals but the vedas and puranas which intended to charter the human lives through dramatic representation later took its life in the hands of obsessive religous heads. As I used to say Hinduism is more a code to live life rather an just another religion. There is a noble intention behind every form of God, a beautiful lesson contained in every chapter of the Puranas.
The following is from the article:- http://www.rediff.com/news/2007/sep/ 21sethu.htm

{mosimage}A man called Liyakath Ali Khan was arrested a couple of days back for cheating, molesting over 50 women and filming their sex acts. In the recent past, this is the second case after Dr. Prakash who was involved in major sex scandal. What makes Liyaqat Ali Khan intresting or spicy than Dr. Prakash? While the latter had used drugs and parties to seduce the victims, it was raining woman in Liyaqat's yard. All the victims in his case are well educated girls hailing from affuent families. It can be Liyaqat Ali Khan's smartness or shrewdness to spell a cast over those girls or their families, but it is just one side of the coin, whereas the greediness of those girls complete the other side of the coin.

{mosimage}The serpentine queues in Reliance Retail stores is growing longer, so do the oppositions from the political outfits like PMK against corporates entering the retail segment. In states like Kerala, UP, the government had ordered the closure of such retail chains. Reliance initially said that they bypass the middle men in the business that passing the benefits to both end consumers as well as the farmers. It sounded intresting in the papers. But the reality has an altogether different story to tell. I personally go to Reliance Retail stores to buy vegetables. I don't think the price is cheaper than the vendor near to your house. Yet what drives the people in droves to Reliance Retail?

{mosimage}என்றோ எங்கோ ஏதோ வழிப்பயணத்தில் படித்த சில கதைகள் நம் மனதில் புதைந்து காலத்துக்கும் பாரம் கொடுக்கும். சிலவற்றை அதை எழுதியவர்களே கூட மறந்திருப்பார்கள், ஆனால் படித்த நம் மனதில் நங்கூரம் பாய்ச்சி தங்கியிருக்கும். சமீபத்தில் என் தோழி ஒருத்தி ஒரு குறுஞ்செய்தியினை (SMS) அனுப்பியிருந்தாள். படித்த கணத்தில் அது சொல்லமுடியாத ஒரு வலியை தந்தது. Lateral thinking என்பது போல அந்த கவிதைக்கு பல வளமையான சூழல்களை உருவகப்படுத்திக்கொள்ள முடியும் என்ற போதும், மனதில் பதிந்த முதல் பிம்பம் என்றும் நிலைத்து நிற்கும். என்னை பாதித்து மனதில் தங்கியவை பெரும்பாலும் வறுமை பற்றியவையே. எனக்கு அவள் அனுப்பிய அந்த குறுஞ்செய்தி (SMS) இதோ.....
