India on podium...

in India,hardly ever happend this kind of success in sports...
its not very common  Indian anthem been playing at prize distribution ceremonies
at majot tournaments and games...
yeah its a fact,
that we are not that much good at sports..
but today our wrestlers and shooters struck gold with style....
five(gold) is really a big number here for us...
hat's off for the winners...
icing on the cake is the thrilling test win over aussies...
really a fantastic day for Indian sports...
waiting for more....

Thank God,finally India in news for good reasons...

Finally India proved to the world,we can do it in style...
I'm delighted to see how beautifully we organized the CWG 2010 opening ceremony in New Delhi yesterday...
because its been months we are hearing some very shame full stories on our ill preparation for the games...
our image in front of the world media tarnished again and again for all the wrong reasons....

but,yesterday we shown to the world,what we can do....
its simply majestic....
almost all western media today carries the opening ceremony news as stunning!!!
come on India,prove to the world our incredible potential...

മഴമേഘങ്ങള്‍ ഓര്‍മപെടുത്തിയത്.....

ഹൈദരാബാദില്‍ ഇത്തവണ കാലവര്‍ഷം കാലം തെറ്റിയും പെയ്തു കൊണ്ടിരിക്കുന്നു...
ജൂലൈ പകുതിയോടെ നില്‍ക്കേണ്ട മഴ ഓഗസ്ടിലും തുടരുകയാണ്...
നല്ലത് തന്നെ...
ഇന്ത്യന്‍ ഇങ്കില്‍ തീര്‍ത്ത ഒരു അമൂര്‍ത്ത ചിത്രം പോലുണ്ടായിരുന്നു
മഴമേഘങ്ങള്‍ ചിതറികിടന്ന നരച്ച ആകാശം;
കര്‍കിടകത്തില്‍ പുതിയങ്കത്തിനു മുകളില്‍ ഞാനെന്നും
കാണാരുണ്ടായിരുന്ന അതേ ആകാശം!
കാല്‍കീഴില്‍ ചവിട്ടി തെറിപ്പിക്കാന്‍;
ഊടു വഴികളിലൂടെ കുത്തിയൊലിച്ചു വന്നിരുന്ന
ചെളി വെള്ളം ഇപ്പോഴെന്റെ നാട്ടിലും ഒരോര്‍മ മാത്രമായിരിക്കും...
അവിടുത്തെ വഴികളും,
കോണ്‍ക്രീടിലും ടാറിലും അടക്കം ചെയ്യപെട്ടു കഴിഞ്ഞിരിക്കുന്നു...
പുതുമഴയില്‍ കുതിരുന്ന മണ്ണിന്റെ മണം
എന്റെ സ്കൂള്‍ ജീവിതത്തിന്റെ മണം കൂടിയായിരുന്നു...
അതും എനിക്കന്യമാകും!

Disturbing facts...

today I came across through two very disturbing facts on media;
I want to share it: that,
now only 1411 Tigers are left in Indian forests!!!
cross border illicit trade of Indian tiger products at Lahsa,Tibet and Chinese markets, and the inefficient preventive measures to stop illegal poachers made Indian Tigers survival very,very difficult...considering the facts that there were 40,000 tigers in our country 50 years back and Tiger is our national animal,definitely the time is running out to stop this alarming downwards 'growth' of indian tigers...
one of our national news television and one mobile network seriously trying to their best to send this message to the people through their save tiger campaign.I wish them success...

because these animals are so majestic,don't let them be extinct....

another more disturbing fact is the cover story of the news weekly,The Week,
that in every third day one Indian soldier ends his life himself!!!!!

what happen to our brave hearts???...

really disturbing facts...

Hopeless affairs....

within hours after that press meet drama(see my last blog post of yesterday night),
the two foreign ministers and the rest of the politicos started one of the worst verbal
battle against each other...!
after a widely publicized 'peace talk'-that they said very mutual and constructive-
its really ugly to blaming each other this much early...
all the people who expect a positive outcome get fooled by this farce...
hopeless affairs....

again the same 'joint press meet'...

its really fun to see two rivals sitting together and try to convince the people,
they have no issues between them and all is going well...
they 'll smile gently,shake hands firmly and always in a pleasant kinda expression on the face....
but, hmm... something 'll be missing in the air..
one can easily find out the distance and difference between them,with a little observation...
can't hide that void by any means...
yeah,I'm talkin about India-Pak foreighn ministers joint press conference at Islamabad..
Qureshi and s.m Krishna trying their best to maintain the calm and composure while facing the annoying questions from journalists...
all their answers seems positive...
but................
ok,let's hope for the best...

one naughty trivia...

as I stated earlier in one of my blogpost, wikipedia the free encyclopedia always gave me some surprising trivial things....
while I was reading on some literary giants on wikipedia unexpectedly I find out, one very interesting thing that;
one of the first adult movies I ever watched in movie theater(during my college days) actually stars worlds most celebrated novelist Ernest Hemingway's grand children as its heroines!!!!
quiet interesting,right???
once again wikipedia made me absolutely stunned!

From the empty corridor of an art Gallery...

for the last couple of years we are reading a lot on the extra ordinary growth of our indian contemporary art field and how finally indian artworks are getting global attention...
lot of articles are discussing the potential huge market for indian art at the global stage...

nowadays its not that much a surprising news that some indian contemporary art work is fetching millions in international art markets or at the domestic elite class.......
not only m.f hussain,tyeb mehta,anjali ila menon kind of iconic indian artists but even some young generation artists can boast about what their works can command on international art houses....thanks to the neo liberalization policies....

but is this art boom,really made any difference on our popular perceptions towards the art field and the practice to avoid visiting galleries as something unusual?
why I'm thinking like that, is because some weeks before I went to a reputed modern art gallery here in Hyderabad on a very fine sunday evening...
weather is excellent for an outing for people,so huge gathering at shopping malls,cinema theaters, the gardens and even at temples...
but to my extream surprise this neatly maintained art gallery is empty..!!pin drop silence prevailed there, except that 'wrrooom' kinda low sound from a old fashioned large fan...
the four people presented there except me is all security personnals..!!!!they amused to see someone enjoying some surreal things....one guy sincerely recommend me the great 'space show'excibiting near bye, planetarium!
the so called art boom not made any difference in the peoples taste towards art works rather they find art as an investment that gave you more profit than gold and land...
so sad....
(photography is not allowed inside the Gallery but I used my mobile cam to show the emptiness! my sincere apologies..)

why the silence been so long?

Oh,boy!
its been a long,long time since I post something to my blog....
precisely, more than 6 months....
this unusual gap resulted because of an unfortunate incident happend
between me and one of my 'cynical friend' over my random thoughts posts...
he simply refused to accept the fact that, those posts and the thoughts are genuine...!!
he accused; I might 've taken those articles from somewhere else to my blog and boasting on it...
although he's trying to make me angry,I felt really bad; because we were not the only people present there in that arguement time,and those rest of the people also joint with him to tease
on my postings...
I challenged him to prove his accusations...
nothing happend afterwards,....but,I lost interest to post my thoughts through blog...
but now I feel all the things happend is so silly and its a folly to break expressing my self here,on some wild accusations...
so,now onwards me going to post my thoughts here on regular intervels...
one last word in this regard is;
friends,no need of any kind of appreciations if my thoughts seems so unreal but
it doesn't mean you can throw accusations without any proofs...because some sensitive people kind of me, 'll take it very seriously and might take some bad decisions...
(Trivia: that cynical friend of mine, left my office and joined another company at bangalore...so now he can't make accusations to my face...he...he...)
