Earthquakes in our area!!

On the friday night people in our area heard some unknown sounds and there was a rumour about earthquakes.  Well, I didnt hear anything, and i came to know about those on  the later day in the news channel and our relatives called us to enquire our safety. That day there was a commotion near temple with TV channels vans and few police. When enquired, an old man told us that tv channels were there to cover the earthquake story. Our area is a nice and calm place which usually wont attract media attention. Lot of cameramen were there so people surrounded them, and kids were waving at the camera. With all this hungama geological department installed equipment in our area to check if its really the earthquakes which caused the anonymous sounds. This is the story of Saturday.

On sunday night i went out to market by walk, the moon light is great , the weather is cool, so i walked a lot and by the time i reach home my relatives scared my mom about the earthquakes and made her stand outside for sometime. They have got the news that there are few more earthquakes in our area and tv channels broadcasting that people are panicked and running on the streets. I switched on the TV to watch a commotion of people and few kids  waving at the camera in broad day light. That was the video coverage from the saturday. At the time, they were broadcasting that coverage, people were eating mirchi from the nearby sweetshop at the exact same location. . A geologist requesting people to calm down on tv. These tv channels are showing cracks in the paint of a wall (which is common in every old building). The whole program was giving an impression that there was a earthquake of at least 4.5 Richter  scale reading. The commotion of people and the cracks on the wall is giving the visual support to that. And all the mobile phones and landline in my home are ringing like in a call centre getting calls from my relatives and friends. And the geological equipment have not found anything yet. And this news only covered in local news channels especially TV5 and none of the national news channels covered it. I am at home, safe and sound , writing blog.

 

 

Do we really need it?

Today NAC ( National Advisory Council) recommended to provide subsidized rice and wheat to 80cr Indians. Its only 27% of indians who are living below poverty line (BPL). 80cr out of 113 cr (population of india) is around 72.7%. So 45% of indians who are not BPL will be befitted with this program. If he is not poor, if he is not in poverty why should he get the benefits which are targeted for the poor?

Of course these 45% are poor when compared to Anil ambani, but they are not too poor to buy their own food. Most of these 45% belongs to middle class and are like you and me. Have a computer a browse net, who download movies to watch, who might not have a benz car but have a motor vehicle for transport, who watch cricket and reality shows in TV, who are able to spend money on boozing and cigarettes, who dont prefer to travel in general compartment, who buys and reads novels, who goto theaters regularly, who buys DVDs.  NAC recommended to provide 35kg of rice for Rs. 3/- . I am not sure if these 45% going to stand in the queue at rashionshop and buy that rice.  To provide this subsidized food grain, its going to cost the govt 15,000 cr .. and this 15000cr is only for the first stage.

Why cant govt offer this subsidy to all the white-rashion-card people, after all the fake rashion cards are found out. The money spend giving subsidy for 45% can utilized for other purpose like building schools or providing equipment for the hospitals. Why provide subsidy for the people who dont need it. These 45% will buy a DVD or go and buy few more beers with the saved money because of subsidy (assuming he is ready to eat that cheap quality rice which will be distributed).

Lucky that its a man's world.

Few days back i was talking to my new acquittance who is a doctor. Somehow our aimless talk landed on pregnancy issues. And he started explaining what is to be in a labor room and delivering a baby. The whole process is so complicated, so delicate, so dangerous and its kind of horrible (probably not the right word to use but it is ). For the first time i felt lucky to be born as a boy. If i were a girl, i dont know what i would do. Interestingly many girls are ready to get married and give birth to a child 'to prove their womanhood'. Gynecology department is full of ladies, even they get married and give birth to kids.

I think being a girl is less advantageous than being a boy. I was not talking about periods or pregnancy (i am sure they are horrible), i was talking about social issues. I dont have to be conscious about where the person who is talking to me watching. I dont have to be feared to go to unknown places with bunch of guyz boozing in there. My parents wont be terrified if i come late night so one more thing not to bother about. I dont have to tackle the stupid flirting from my lecturers and managers. No eve-teasing. No restrictions on the way i dress. Nobody bothers if i get late night calls. I can drive without fear at mid night. i can give my mobile number to anyone without fearing the boring conversations i have to make later. I dont have to apply make-up. I dont have to face questions about my marriage from my late teenage. I dont have to cover my mouth when i laugh. I can actually laugh out loud. I wont get the weird looks if i dont gossip about others or if i talk normally without baby-talk.. I dont have to say ' i like old hindi songs'. I will be received as a normal person even if i am not a fan of sydney sheldon. Basically its a Man's world, and i am lucky that i am a man.

(freedom to use net and sms) = (freedom of speech)

The above equation is from 3rd most powerful person in china. He thinks that by allowing 400m netizens from china to express their views is freedom of speech to the nation. Freedom of speech is not just the right to talk. Its the right which allows people to express their views, their grief, their ideologies which might inspire others, which is the first step to create a social change in a system.

Just right to speech is not sufficient to create a social change. To propagate the ideology, one might have to travel the nation (Right to freely move within the borders of the nation), might take the help of media when the ideologies are critical of govt policies ( Uncensored media and news papers ) and one might have to gather people to take up a task (Right to form associations). And first of all the person who wants to create change must live and the nation must have a mechanism where govt cant arrest him without any reason ( Right to live ). Even if the govt tried to curb the change , the nation must have an institution which can direct the govt to do a thing and which gives justice to people and that institution must be out of influence of govt ( Rule of law, independent judiciary ).

A nation have to have all these rights so that the govt cant suppress a movement which is against govt. And these are called fundamental rights. Without which the citizens of nation cant create a change.

The whole idea of fundamental rights is originated from the belief that people could be wrong. And govt is not a machine with nuts and bolts, its a bunch of people who has authority to run the country. What if those bunch of people go wrong? The citizens should have the opportunity to criticize the govt. Probably the govt understands the point of citizens and mend it ways. This might work on few policies.What if majority of govt policies are not liked by the people. Then we need to have a mechanism to change the govt. In the old days this is accomplished with a revolution or a coup which is bloodshed. The french revolution , the american revolution, our struggle for independence can be quoted as examples.

Here comes the the concept of democracy to save us. Dont chant the old text book definition of govt by the ppl, for the ppl ...etc etc . I see democracy as the political system which allows the citizens to change the govt when they are not satisfied with the performance of present govt. We are fed up congress govt so we choosed BJP, it didnt perform well so we went back to congress again, it performed well and indians thought nuclear bill is not a bad thing so we choose  congress again. And all these changes were made without spilling blood.

All these concepts which let the citizens to keep the govt on toes are not present in china. Of course i agree their growth rate is more than us. Men will be more productive when a hunter visits them on their back , that does not mean we should follow the political structure of china. After all we are humans with feelings, not just workers.

Blame Gandhi

Yes, we need to blame our Father of nation for the false image he created about Indians. Everybody in the world thinks that India got independence through non-violence so we are peace loving people. Are we really peace loving people?? I dont think so.

 Our idea of a hero is a fighter not a pacifist. In modern india bhagat singh is more patriot than Gandhi, Nehru or patel because he used bombs and died later. Lala lajapat rai also died for the nation.  He was beaten to death in a lathi charge. But he didnt become a hero of modern india. He never used bombs or bullets, he fought in gandhian way. And he could not muster the fame like Azad or Bhagat singh.

We love fights. We love fights in movies and we need variety of fights. The villain has to die in the climax. We enjoy violence in the movies. Not only in movies, we love fighting in the streets. We love fighting based on our caste, religion and language. We fight police. We fight for water (at municipality pump and at dams), we fight for movie tickets, we fight for a seat (Travel in general compartment in any train). We fight for reservations. We fight to get a separate state. Even we enjoy when people get into a fight in reality shows. All most all Hindu gods carry weapons. Our great epics Ramayanam and Mahabharatam ends with epic fights. If you read medieval history of India, its full of wars and blood. The underline point is we love fighting.

But how could one man managed to convince this blood-thirsty-nation for a non-violent movement. He not only fought Imperialism but also caste system of indian society with the same non-violence. How did he do it is an interesting question. Anyway he has to take the blame for putting 'non-violent nation' tag  to our country.

comparing religion and communism

We all know that communism and religion dont go together but both have few similarities between them.

Both communists and theists shut them selves from the out side world. Both think they are the elite of the society and feel the burden of saving the society from disaster and promise harmony.

Both maintain the same strategy “either you are my friend or you are my foe” . No one can be neutral. They theists of a particular religion, atheists, agnostics and people who follow other religions are enemies. For communists who ever does not preach communism are capitalists, for them these are the only two political structures. A person should be a communist or a capitalist there is no alternative.

Both of them feel that the who ever does not subscribe to their philosophy are the problem makers. In the case of religion it says the harmony is disturbed due to other religions or evil which does not follow religion. In case of communists they believe that all problems of the world including pollution is due to persons who are not communists.

If we got a problem both will give us similar answer without giving any details. The standard answer from theists is “God will take care of it” and communists will say “System will take care of it”

Both will become mum if we talk about crude facts which are against them. Theists make faces when you explain miracle of god with a simple physics rule and communists dont like to be questioned on the collapse of USSR.

Both try to ignore modern developments. Theists wont talk about recent scientific developments and communists hate to talk about political developments.

Both wont prefer to be questioned. So both deny the right to express.

If we start practicing any of the two, according to both we dont have to blame our selves for our misery. According to both of them, our present state of life is not because of our deeds. According to religion if you are suffering, its because you did many wrong things in the previous life. According to communism, you are suffering because of capitalists.

According to both of them, we have to go through initial suffering to get the ultimate happiness. Religions asks us to fast, walk on the fire etc etc to get nirvana. And communism ask us to go through dictatorship to attain communism. Interestingly both wont reveal how long we need to go through the suffering to get the ultimate happiness.

Both of them advocate distruction of family. When religion says family is a constraint to get nirvana and sex is a sin. According to communist manifesto family is a capitalistic concept so must be abolished.

Both extreme theists and extreme communists wont like to live in the society. The extremists of religion prefer to sit in the shrine or in himalayas. And extremists of communists would like to sit in library or in the jungle. Irritatingly both of them talk about how the society should be.

Orkut hit by Bom Sabado worm!

It creates a major mess on user profiles as it scraps the text 'Bom Sabado' on profile pages.

You visit an infected profile page, you are likely to get affected as well.

Google has not yet made any official statement on this issue but we expect them to be working very hard on it.

Avoid using Orkut for now. And if you have been hit, change your Google Account password asap!

Its not only for timepass !

At first I thought its only for watching video and can be used to upload home-made videos. But youtube is more than that.As it provides the space to upload videos whatever people want to upload, netizens actually shown their creativity in uploading videos.

If you miss a serial, by next day it will be uploaded in youtube by someone. (My aunt watches her serials in youtube when she misses them on tv)

If you dont know how to do a thing, search it in youtube , like 'how to straighten your hair' , how to wax polish the shoe, knot a tie etc etc

Whenever a product is released in market like mobile their 'out of box' videos will be uploaded in it and the same guy gives a review about it. I used it when i could not open the back cover of my mobile, i learned it from youtube :)

And there are many videos (in fact audio files with album art) teaches you how to learn a new language. Tamil, malayalam, spanish ...almost every widely spoken language could learned from it. I started malayalam and Portuguese.

And there are many videos on solving computer issues ..these are few uses of youtube i found. Still digging it for more things :)

Mosquitoes and Tigers

Lets consider a scenario where all the mosquitoes in the world are dead. They become extinct. Is it going to bother us? The extinction of mosquitoes going to hurt us? or our sentiments? are we going start a campaign saying "save mosquitoes" ?? No , in fact we would be happy when they go extinct. Because the death-toll of malaria will be zero at that time. We dont eat mosquitoes, so its not going to affect food-chain, and if they are extinct we dont have to waste our money on buying mosquito killers.

And now i wonder , how the extinction of mosquitoes isa different scenario than extinction of tigers in India. We dont eat them, no part of India is economically dependent on them like rajasthanis use camels for their daily life. We dont use tiger in that sense....except few gods in Indian mythology nobody used tigers for transportation. No body part of tiger could be used in medicine, like the poison of snakes is used. Tigers are not amicable , they are not docile. Nobody can afford to have one as a pet. They dont help to build a healthy environment like a bunch of trees do.

In-fact tigers are mean man-eaters, who kill villagers nearby the forest. Why a bunch of animal lovers from the cities who never live in forest shout to save them? Villagers are the ones who live nearby them, go and ask a person from a tiger-hit village, if he wants to save them or not, probably he will say 'kill them all with a bomb'.

But the people of city dont want it happen, they love to watch about them in national geographic channel, they love to watch them in a tiger safari ....once in 10yrs. They want to show to the world that they care about indian tigers, but they wont go near a tiger nor they live in a village next to a tiger reserve. They love to wear those save-tiger t-shirts. They are more or less equal to bunch of youth from banjarahills protesting the killing of street-dogs in slums.

Imagine the costs to maintain 27 national tiger reserve parks, and for their census, what is the use? Why dont we care about people instead of animals.

oooh, dont tell me that we have to give more importance to national animal instead of people of the nation. Till 1973 our national animal is lion, then they changed it to tiger, we can always change it to something else.

Why dont we give more importance to the fact that , the villages have bad roads, no hospital equipment, schools without proper rooms and black boards, no proper education for them and they still believe in black magic stuff , the girls are malnutritioned and Police stations are ill equipped.If govt takes proper care of these issues, the villagers will have faith in govt and probably stop helping Maoists who tries to throw out Indian state.

Why put animals before people, its not humanism. We are humans, and lets take care of fellow humans first. Tigers become extinct ....so what? Probably genetic technology advances and we can breed them artificially like they have showed in the movie Babylon A.D, are the tigers in zoos are not sufficient to go and watch? Do we have to maintain a tiger reserve and go there to watch them?

Is it helping?

I woke up early in the morning and started watching CNN-IBN, they have got a special survey kind of thing....which is really irritating.

The result of the survey is that people in metros are not willing rent their houses to muslims. We dont know how far it is true!! And this survey is coming just few days before ayodhya verdict (RSS already kind of threatened muslims to support ayodhya, and everybody is tense about the aftermath of ayodhya verdict) and SIT ( special investigating team ) is still working on godhra riots, Ramzan is just over and ganesh festival is still going on , so both hindus and muslims are kind of immersed in the religious rituals, do we have to get that survey now?? Which is bound to disturb whatever friendly feeling that exists between hindus and muslims. I hope TV channels show some common sense when dealing with such things.

Common sense Vs Economics

There was a classic fight between common sense and economics when SC released its verdict on about-to-rot-food-grains. Its not foolish to think that when lakhs of tons of food about to rot , why not distribute it for free to the poor. Why waste food like that in the warehouse.  This was the logic of SC and NGO'S.

But Government has to think it in economic point of view also (After all our PM is an economist ). And their explanation goes like this " If govt distributes free food grains, demand for food grains goes down and then the price of food grains will drop, that will affect the farmers who producing now". I think its right. Because food grains wont go for suicide when are rotten. but farmers do when they go bankrupt. So the primary concern should be farmers.

But this whole issue raised the clash between legislature and judiciary.

And.my answer would be ........'none'

Cabinet approved for the cast based senses next year. Worst part is both congress and BJP are happy about it. So no opposition for this one.

Well, the results of the census would be interesting. Now we can actually fight among over selves and feel conceit about caste based on population too. That's going to make the dream of caste -less society a daydream for some more decades.

Now the political parties will have statistical data on number of people belong to a particular caste in a constituency . So they will ticket to a candidate from the majority caste. Not that its not happening now, but political parties will have the actual data with them once senses is over.

But one good thing about this census is ...we are going to have an option "no caste". So now we get to see how many Indians wants a caste-less society.

But why this caste based census? That too after so many decades? Lets say its becoz of the reservations govt offer people???

Since so-called 'golden age' of India, the khastriayas used to rule the kingdom so they have got money. The vyshyas used to take care of the business and they got money. And brahmins by flattering the kings or terrorizing the people in the religion and vedas got it. The last strata does not have power and did not have any money. So lower caste is equated to lower economy class. But is this true in the modern times?

Now economic status of a family is not so much based on the caste of the family. There are many brahmin families which are poor, same with khsatriyas and vyshyas...and there are many rich people from the lower caste!!

When supreme court gave its verdict about creamy layer in OBC reservation case.....another question raised... Should govt provide reservations based on caste or based on economic class?

Why should son of a MLA who belongs to OBC class should get the govt scholarship and why should not a son of a poor brahmin should get it?

Why still we equate lower castes with lower income class? cant we provide reservations based on economy of the family only? Just like now we have but instead of caste ...If your family income is up-to a level you will get certain % of reservation if it exceeds you will get different % of reservation. Is it hard to achieve? Anyway even in the present system students has to provide their caste certificate and income certificate to get the scholarship....if it changed then they had to provide only the income certificate.

Anyways if the caste census really happens then sociologists and anthropologists will have a lot to study about Indian population.

The torture of weddings!!!

The wedding is a cermony where one will inform about his relationship to the world. When i said world, that persons family , relatives and friends. Its a good cermony, joy, laughs, blushing etc etc . This is theory, in the real world the situation is different.

That kalyana mantapam is like a torture chamber. And the preist is the torturer, he is employed on the happy couple, to torture them. Just like slaves ,bride and groom obey whatever he says, when he points out at sky and asks "did u see the arundhati star' they will nod their heads like school kids. But we cant blame them, groom is wearing that traditional puncha , which could come off anytime and he will be terrified all the time thinking ' what if this puncha drops down in my marriage' ? He is occupied with that thought probably!!!. And poor bride, she gets 3 to 4 rounds of coating on her face in the name of make up ( even if she made to sit in sahara for 3 hrs, i am sure she wont sweat ) and she has to exhibit all the jewelery she has.

After completion of torture from the priest, now enter the old ppl and relatives. The 'happy couple' has to bend before each and everyone to touch their feet and i am telling you old ppl wont miss any wedding. After that it is fake-smile-torture. Its really a third degree, you can even express that u r tired, u have to smile.

And all the time , photographer and videographer acts as extra-torturers, Instead of catching the moments, they will make 'happy couple' to act. If photographer is busy when u r bending-and-touching feet of elderly, you will have to do it again for him.

But there are few weddings in which we also share discomfort with bride and groom. As wedding is heavenly and traditional many of us will not appreciate what i said, but deep down their hearts they know that its true, not every wedding is enjoyable.

This january i attended a wedding of my ex-collegue. The 'muhurtam' is at 11a.m, by the time i reached function hall, its 1pm and hall is almost empty. I guessed that lunch will be going on but not more than 20 ppl are there. I came out to check if i came right place or not, it was right, i got inside and asked one of those 20 about the marriage, they said that the marriage has not started at all. I waited there few minutes to see workers who started preparing the kalyanamantapam at 1.30pm. I thought i had enough and went to my friends place.

And my brother's wedding was at 3.30am. Everybody is sleepy including groom. I still have a doubt if he had tied the mangalasutram with 3 knots or 2 knots. When somebody went to wake up my cousins who are sleeping, one of them said that he will see the marriage 10 times in video as he wants to sleep at that moment.

And this May i attended my friends sister marriage. When i went to the stage to greet them i said happy married life but the real thing i want to say is "I pity you both". Its hot summer, they are made to sit before sacred fire ( in atheistic language its just a fire which gives u more heat to sweat) And immediately after the marriage two chairs brought to the stage with two flash lights focusing on them. Bride and groom are supposed to sit there but they could not becoz they have to stand up and take the pics. Really i could not understand how did they survived the summer heat, 'sacred fire' and flash lights.

And there starts the awkward moments of my life. The video and photographs, Its not easy put a fake smile without squinting eyes. And you have to extend that smile till another flash from photographers camera says ' ok dude, now u can go'. I really dont understand why to pay extra photographer when u can grab pics from video done by videographer. I guess everybody wants to smash his head with one of those reception-red-chairs when he says the pic is not good and wants to take one more.

Why a marraige has to be such a difficult thing? Cant we make it less hard??

The legend of ..............

Legends are always kept alive. But why?..... is a difficult question to answer. Each legend stirs a specified emotion in the hearts of the people. The legend of rani of jhansi fighting British army with baby tied to her back represents dexterity and ferocity of an Indian lady who is able to act both as mother and a soldier of the nation. The 10000 attempts of Thomas Edison represents never say die attitude. And students are made to read about them ,so legend will be alive. Not only text books, the statues , naming the streets or cities after dead people will do the same work on our minds.

But what the statues of Indira Gandhi represent? or naming of India's territorial north and south ends after her? so many projects and airports , an open university named after her represents?

Her ability to use Govt employees on election campaign? her greediness to declare emergency just to save her PM seat? her shrewdness to change the institutionalized age-old party into a group of sycophants? for letting her son run the govt in the time of emergency? for arranging forceful vasectomy and tubectomy operations on the poor during emergency? for arresting who ever criticizes her? for her incapability of running the economy of the country which forced her to nationalize banks to get money? for the removal of fundamental rights? for signing 1974 Indira–Sheikh accord which made J&k to be treated separately for ever when compared to rest of India ,which will make J&K never a part of consolidated India? for operation blue-star? for massacre of all most 3000 Sikhs after the assassination of Indira Gandhi by the congress party people with the help of population of statistics to find Sikhs addresses? answer is NO. These things wont be printed in text books....after 4 or 5 generations, the citizens of india will see the elegant statues all over India and listen her name a lot and then will start thinking that she must be a great person !!!
We see a statue and then think that he/she must be a great person.We dont actually try to know about them...and more over india is like a nation of Gajinis....we forget everything after sometime. Our politicians know about it very well. The late justice from supreme court has to remind us about the bhopal victims...till that time we forgot about them and are busy watching reality shows !!!
Congress leaders during election campaign say that they will bring indiramma rajyam...what they mean by that? Emergency?? With all the statues over the nation this generation thinks that she must be a great leader, and indiramma rajyam is something like golden age of chandra gupta.

same thing happened with rajiv gandhi .......i dont think coming generations will remember about bofors.

Now is the time for birth of next legend. YSR. For one week long after his death, every death in andhra pradesh is reported as the death of YSR fan who got heart failure after listening to the shocking news of YSR death. The death toll is around 140. And govt of andhra pradesh declared money for who is ever is attempted suicide and died due to heart attack. Later it is found that 60% of the people who died are between the ages of 60 to 80. So natural deaths are converted into shocking-deaths. And the family members of the victims got the money. And the news channel and newspaper 'sakshi' which is owned by YSR's son trying desperately to make him a legend. Flowers are falling on the image of YSR in sakshi tv ever since he died. In the news paper there is column about goodness of YSR everyday and a daily quote by him. I am not sure if all the quotes are said my YSR. After his death, even before his funeral speculation about his son jagan becoming the next CM have started. And they quote example of rajiv gandhi becoming PM after death of indira gandhi. Well, one thing congress party leaders usually forgets is india is democratic country. Its not monarchy which allows offspring to become the rulers after death of the ruler. Not only congress party most of the people before our generation believe that. They cherish the idea of monarchy, being loyal to a family line.

There has been a lot of nonsense after death of YSR. A group wants his son to inherit the CM seat of YSR and other group oppose it. And then they started a competition on who is the better psychopathy of YSR.? The sycophants wanted to celebrate his birthday by postponing assembly sessions, forgetting that they are elected legislate the govt but not to arrange lavish birthday party of dead CM's. And there is this jagan yatra, it looks as if jagan wants to check his image popularity with that yatra. And guess who is the solo broadcaster of that yatra....saaxi tv. You open saaxi paper and you will find "jagan sena" , what they are for, to invade congress party if jagan could not inherit his father's CM seat. Now govt of andhrapradesh wants to name YSR district i.e kadapa district as YSR district. Why not rename andhra pradesh as YSR state and change the name of India to indira gandhi??

What the govt sponsored legends of indira gandhi and YSR will tell the coming generations?? about the sycophancy in the congress govt? No, they will be legends of great leaders of congress to those people who dont usually care much about politics. All these statues are like the permanent election campaign!!
of course I agree that when it comes to statues ...congress party is better than BSP.

oversimplify english!!

I have just finished '1984' ...its a book by George orwell. The fictional govt in that novel tries to simplify english to the core. And the modified english is called 'newspeak'.

I will copy-paste a passage from the book and you will understand how they want to simply english!!

The grammar of Newspeak had two outstanding peculiarities. The first of
these was an almost complete interchangeability between different parts of
speech. Any word in the language (in principle this applied even to very
abstract words such as IF or WHEN) could be used either as verb, noun,
adjective, or adverb. Between the verb and the noun form, when they were
of the same root, there was never any variation, this rule of itself
involving the destruction of many archaic forms. The word THOUGHT, for
example, did not exist in Newspeak. Its place was taken by THINK, which
did duty for both noun and verb. No etymological principle was followed
here: in some cases it was the original noun that was chosen for retention,
in other cases the verb. Even where a noun and verb of kindred meaning
were not etymologically connected, one or other of them was frequently
suppressed. There was, for example, no such word as CUT, its meaning being
sufficiently covered by the noun-verb KNIFE. Adjectives were formed by
adding the suffix -FUL to the noun-verb, and adverbs by adding -WISE. Thus
for example, SPEEDFUL meant 'rapid' and SPEEDWISE meant 'quickly'. Certain
of our present-day adjectives, such as GOOD, STRONG, BIG, BLACK, SOFT,
were retained, but their total number was very small. There was little
need for them, since almost any adjectival meaning could be arrived at by
adding -FUL to a noun-verb. None of the now-existing adverbs was retained,
except for a very few already ending in -WISE: the -WISE termination was
invariable. The word WELL, for example, was replaced by GOODWISE.
In addition, any word--this again applied in principle to every word in
the language--could be negatived by adding the affix UN-, or could be
strengthened by the affix PLUS-, or, for still greater emphasis,
DOUBLEPLUS-. Thus, for example, UNCOLD meant 'warm', while PLUSCOLD and DOUBLEPLUSCOLD meant, respectively, 'very cold' and 'superlatively cold'.
It was also possible, as in present-day English, to modify the meaning of
almost any word by prepositional affixes such as ANTE-, POST-, UP-, DOWN-,
etc. By such methods it was found possible to bring about an enormous
diminution of vocabulary. Given, for instance, the word GOOD, there was no
need for such a word as BAD, since the required meaning was equally
well--indeed, better--expressed by UNGOOD. All that was necessary, in any
case where two words formed a natural pair of opposites, was to decide
which of them to suppress. DARK, for example, could be replaced by UNLIGHT,
or LIGHT by UNDARK, according to preference.

The second distinguishing mark of Newspeak grammar was its regularity.
Subject to a few exceptions which are mentioned below all inflexions
followed the same rules. Thus, in all verbs the preterite and the past
participle were the same and ended in -ED. The preterite of STEAL was
STEALED, the preterite of THINK was THINKED, and so on throughout the
language, all such forms as SWAM, GAVE, BROUGHT, SPOKE, TAKEN, etc., being abolished. All plurals were made by adding -S or -ES as the case might be.
The plurals OF MAN, OX, LIFE, were MANS, OXES, LIFES. Comparison of
adjectives was invariably made by adding -ER, -EST (GOOD, GOODER, GOODEST),irregular forms and the MORE, MOST formation being suppressed.

Dont you think the english will much better to learn and use in newspeak?? What is the point of learning the "bad" when we know "good" and want to represent the opposite word of it. We could do that just by adding "un" or "anti". This technique will help us to get rid of all the antonyms.

And the idea of using 'plus' to emphasize a verb is a Plusgood idea. This way we can get rid of synonyms too.

And suppressing irregular forms will be appreciated by every english learning guy. If Victorian english is good then american english is gooder and newspeak is goodest!!!

ఒక దళారి పశ్చాత్తాపం !!

ఈ పుస్తకం గురించి నాకు చాలా మంది చెప్పారు ...2006 నుంచి ఈ పుస్తకం చదువుదాం అనుకుంటే ఇప్పటికి కుదిరింది ...అసలు పుస్తకం పేరు "confessions of an economic hitman" నేను తెలుగు అనువాదం చదివాను ...సింపుల్ గా చెప్పాలంటే anti-Americanism...అభివృద్ధి చెందుతున్న, అభివృద్ధి చెందని దేశాలని అమెరికా ఎలా నాశనం చేస్తోంది అన్నది concept. దాన్లో మన కధానాయకుడు ఒక దేశాన్ని ఎలా నాశనం చెయ్యాలో సలహాలు ఇచ్చే hitman అని చెప్పుకుంటాడు.

ఇరాక్ విషయం లో సద్దాం దగ్గరున్న bio-weapons గురించి అస్సలు మాట్లాడకుండా ..తప్పు మొత్తం అమెరికా మీద ..UN మీద తోసేయ్యడానికి బాగా ప్రయత్నించాడు..

బిన్ లాడెన్ కి సౌది ద్వారా అమెరికానే డబ్బు సరఫరా చేసి USSR మీద కి ఉసిగోల్పిందని రచయిత చెబుతాడు ...నిజానికి ఆల్ ఖైదా ఇరాన్ లో ఉన్న అమెరిక ఏమ్బస్సి ని పెల్చేయడం తోనే పనులు మొదలు పెట్టింది ....USSR కి against గా అమెరికా అఫ్ఘన్లకి కి బహిరంగంగానే ఆయుధాలు సరఫరా చేసింది ...అది USSR కూలిపోక ముందు సంగతి !!


USSR కూలిపోడానికి కూడా అమెరికానే కారణం అంటాడు రచయిత ...నిజానికి 1991 లో ussr లో ఒక poll conduct చేసారు ..దాన్లో 80% USSR జనాభా participate చేసింది ...ఈ 80% లో 76% తమకు ussr వద్దని...వ్యక్తిగత హక్కులకు ప్రాధాన్యం ఇచ్చే వేరు వేరు దేశాలు కావాలని వోటు వేసారు ...వీళ్ళందరికీ అమెరికా ప్రభుత్వం డబ్బులు ఇచ్చి USSR కూలిపోయెలా చేసిందా?

ఈ విషయాలు చదివి ఈ పుస్తకం లో హాస్యం లేదు అనుకోకండి ... అది కూడా పండించాడు ...ఈక్విడార్ లో అమెరిక సైనికులు అక్కడి ఆడవాళ్ళని చేరిచేసి, అడ్డదిడ్డంగా మరుగుదొడ్లు కట్టేసి ...తర్వాత జిలిటెన్ స్టిక్స్ తో చేపలు పట్టుకున్నరుట ...జిలిటెన్ స్టిక్స్ తో చేపలు పట్టడం ఏంటో...చేతికి అందక కొబ్బరి కాయలు కోయడానికి missiles వాడారేమో !!

ఇక మన hitman లో అమెరికా లో 11/9 న WTO భవంతులు కూలిపోయిన రెండు నెలలకి అక్కడికి "ఉత్సాహంగా" నడుచుకుంటూ వెళ్ళడంట ...ఉత్సాహం గా వెళ్లడం ఏంటో...అసలు రచయిత కూడా అదే పదం వాడాడా? లేక తెలుగు అనువాదం లో అల జరిగిపోయిందో ..తెలియదు ..

కానీ పుస్తకం చివరలో ఒక మంచి విషయం చెప్పాడు ...shopping చేయాలి అనిపించినప్పుడల్లా ధ్యానం చెయ్యమని.

మొత్తానికి ఆ పుస్తకం పూర్తి చేసాను ...globalization జరిగే నష్టాలలో ఎప్పుడు అమెరికా మాత్రమే ఎందుకు ఉంటుందో అర్థం కాదు ... రష్యా - చెచన్య , రష్యా-చేకస్లోవేకియా , చైనా-ఉత్తర కొరియా , చైనా - ఉత్తర వియత్నాం , చైనా-టిబెట్ ప్రసక్తి ఎందుకు రాదు?

ఈ సారి ప్రజాశక్తి బుక్ హౌస్ కి వెళ్తే ...USSR ఎందుకు విచ్చిన్నం అయింది ...china లో tiananmen square ఉదంతం మీద కాని,solidarity మీద కాని,చైనా ఎందుకు FDI విధానాన్ని అనుసరిస్తోంది, మావో మరణించిన వెంటనే ఆ దేశపు ఆర్థిక వ్యవస్థ లో మార్పులు ఎందుకు వచ్చాయి,బెర్లిన్ గోడ ఎందుకు కట్టవలసి వచ్చింది? ఒక కమ్మ్యునిస్ట్ దేశం లో వ్యక్తీ గత హక్కులు ఎందుకు ఉండవు అనే అంశం మీద, మీడియా కి స్వతంత్రం ఎందుకు ఉండదు అన్న విషయం మీద పుస్తకాలూ ఎమన్నా ఉన్నాయేమో చూడండి ...దొరకడం కష్టం !! anti-Americanism అనండి ...ఒక కట్ట పుస్తకాలు ఇస్తాడు ..

అమెరికా ని తిట్టిన వాడిని నేను విమర్శించాను కాబట్టి నేను అమెరికా కి supporter ని అనుకోకండి, అలా అని అమెరికా చెడ్డది కాబట్టి చైనా మంచిది అంటే నేను ఒప్పుకోలేను ...

నా support ఎప్పుడు వ్యక్తీగత హక్కులకే ....ఈ పుస్తకాన్ని ఒక అమెరికన్ రాసాడు ...అది అమెరికా లోనే ప్రింట్ కూడా అయింది...ఆ రచయిత అమెరికా ని తిడుతూ ఇంకా చాలా పుస్తకాలు రాసాడు...అక్కడ వ్యక్తిగత హక్కులు ఉన్నాయి ...అదే ఒక చైనా వాడు కమ్మ్యునిస్ట్ ప్రభుత్వాన్ని వ్యతిరేకిస్తూ ఒక పుస్తకం రాయడానికి అవకాశం ఉందా?

వీలుంటే google లో tankman అని కొట్టి చూడండి ....మనకి వచ్చే search results చైనా లో ఉండి search చేస్తే రావు ...చైనా-గూగుల్ గొడవకి ఇది కూడా ఒక కారణం!!!

True!!

Many victims of bhopal tragedy are yet to receive compensation...nobody cared about that. Instead of blaming judicial system for late delivery of verdict ..or blaming rajiv gandhi or someone else as they helped the Anderson to got out the country..i guess ppl should care about compensation. Nobody cared when an NGO supporting the victims arranged a walk from bhopal to parliament to raise their voice.

Justice through Internet browser.

I dont exactly know when this facility was started but supreme court of India offers online services for citizens and advocates. Now we can apply petitions and writs online...and court fee could be paid through credit card. I personally think its great...if u want to sue railways u can do that online...haha

This is the site where u can apply petitions and modify them

http://sc-efiling.nic.in/sc-efiling/login.jsp

And this link has the demo for the whole process. The demo was amazing....the whole process seems to be simple.

http://sc-efiling.nic.in/sc-efiling/helpdemo.pdf

I hope govt will encourage this type of services in legislator and RTI also....Just imagine ...would not it be cool...if u can apply RTI online...pay the fee using credit card and get the info u want by post or to the email. That will give the citizens easiness to extract information which is needed.

orkut Vs facebook

I heard most people saying that facebook is better than orkut. And people of US and Europe use facebook rather than orkut. And everybody knows that Brazilians and Indians love using orkut. For last 4 yrs i have been using orkut so i wanted to give a chance to facebook too.

I could say orkut is community oriented and facebook is time pass oriented. I joined in orkut, i joined in communities of my interest and made a lot of friends in there. Now some of them are my good friends.

And facebook is all about what others are doing!!! If somebody says hi to me in fb, my friends and his friends will know from their fb main page that he said hi to me. If we are chatting on something, they will know about...they are welcome to join the discussion, but most ppl prefer to watch it.

And if frnd of my frnd updates some album and my frnd comments on it. i will get notifications about it. And ppl updates their albums funny way. I got a notification that my frnd commented on her frnds album, when i checked the album, it was about her newly built house, the interior decoration was really good, and the funny part is , i get to see her bathroom, the bathtub in that, beside a commode!!!! Even if its a newly built house, even though the bathroom looks great, why should i get to see her bath tub?? is it not something personal ?? and commode?? I will be glad if she does not update pics of tissue papers becoz they are new model...or video on how to flush the new commode and how water swirls in that...hehe.

Of late there is lot of discussion on privacy settings on fb on internet. But still , many ppl could not understand them, and lifehacher.com trying their best to demystify it.

But fb is richer in apps, quizes and games when compared to orkut. And we will get notifications about them if our frnds use them, notifications like, who is the todays lover of ur frnds, or todays best frnd, about their horoscope, today's celebrity crush etc etc and ppl discuss about it later. And one should see the quizzes, all questions are like ...whats ur fav color, ur book, song, pastime, with those they could tell us which harry potter character we are, what will be my spouse name, when i wil get married, are u a team player or not , etc etc

And the game called farmville is very very famous....i am not into games so i never tried it.

And ppl paste some quotation as status msg, and rest of frnds comments on it.

No communities, no threaded discussions in FB, its all about quizzes, games and status msgs. Good thing about fb is the chat option, we dont have to add them in our gtalk to chat with them. Its easy, that way.

Even in orkut we get notifications, but only about our frnds.

Bottom line is where orkut gave me new frnds with same interests , fb gives stuff to gossip and timepass.

The bomb !!!

Yesterday in a kingfisher flight security ppl found something. It caused a lot of controversy . News channels say its a crude bomb. In an interview some official said its bomb with no detonation device..so its not going to blow. All most all news channels aired about it through out the day. I thought it would hit the headlines in todays newspaper ,but its just a tabloid , they mentioned it as a firecracker!!! Its a firecracker wrapped in a malayalam news paper and tied with a long string. Well...we all know firecrackers and crude bombs might blow along with light, but are they same?? How would you feel when u watched a full day program that includes interviews of various persons and lot of speculation about a blast of an atom bomb in hyderabad without visually showing it and the next day you read on papers that its a 'laxmi atom bomb' at a baaraat in hyderabad??

When the 2010 budget was released, that day all the news channels concentrated on fuel hike. Its all about fuel hike and nothing but fuel hike. Next day newspapers talked more about reduced income tax and very less about fuel hike.

On the day of holi...one must see star news. They will show you all the sizzling girls with great body, tight clothes and who are drenched to the core after playing holi. One must observe on what the news-cameraman concentrated his focus. Its more erotic than a bollywood item song.

Last year there was this big news on one news channel that Nepal is occupying portion of Indian land. And they did not talk about it from the next day!! After few days all most all news channels cried about the chinese aggression on indian land based some crap written in chinese on rocks which are inside india.

After few days, few telugu news channels aired that the Reliance group of industries wanted the death of Late CM sri YSR , to get hold on gas reserves of KG-basin. And this was based on some website from Germany!!!

Few years back shahid and karina filed a case on a magazine which printed few photos which were taken when they were kissing. And telugu news channel TV9 aired the whole kissing video the complete day. Along with it, the channel also aired the snippets of a video of an actress when she is taking a bath.When the tv9 -- a telugu news channel was launched, they used to show the previews of every porn CD police caught. The police confiscate those stuff so that young minds wont be affected. What about the affects on ppl when they are aired on a news channel daily. I have seen a program on TV9. Its about the guyz who stalk girls and captures them in their mobile phones. And the program was very educational on how to stalk a girl and capture her pics !!!And few news channels air item songs at the midnight. They are exclusive programs with an anchor who gives all teh gossip about celebrities.

But there is one news channel which is above all the news channels in india. Its the unique one. The shows mainly about reality shows happening in other entertainment channels. Who came to reality show, who was tossed out of the show, who slapped who!!! At morning 8am the program will be on latest bollywood gossips. And that channel is "headlines today".

The climax !!

wierd responces for what i do !!!!

For the last year i have been preparing for civil service examinations. The preparation is in fact very frustrating , longest and depressing. But the fun part is when you tell people that you are preparing for it. Whenever i tell ppl about it...i get two kinds of responses.

All most all the uncles and aunties would tell me how hard it is and how i should read. They suggest me to read 18hrs per day. I wonder if it is humanly possible.

And the youngsters of my age usually gives me a strange look and would wish me best of luck. If they are close to me, they request me to some things. Few girls asked me to hire them as my personal assistants after i become an IAS officer. My friends usually ask me to sanction govt contracts to them when i become IAS.. My close friend and his gf offered to me raise my children with them, as most of the kids of IAS officers are spoiled . One guy who is riding with me on my bike, requested me to built fly-overs in hyderabad to smooth the traffic after i become IAS.. Teenagers from other colony asked me to become IPS instead of IAS, so that i would save them when police caught them while doing nasty things.

Will i become a civil servant or not...i am not sure but its funny how people react. And the preparation is really worth something in life !!!

After a quarter :(

Oflate, not actually oflate...few months back i turned 25. At first its just another birthday. Its only after few days i realized that how it is to be 25.

I joined in jr. college when i was about 15. Thats it....now i am 25. The last 10yrs of my life could not give me anything called understanding the society. . The only memories are about writing records, preparing for exams, doing labs, installing windows again and again in my computer, dreaming high and feeling low, trying to comprehend the world where i am sanjeev not son-of-my-parents, going to office, waiting for weekends...and stuff like that. Ofcourse i bought my Motoming, caterpillars (my shoes), knight rider (my bike...i named it after a tv show i used to watch when i was a kid), lot of friends, books and lot of ...really lot of confusion about the world. Those 10yrs were like a flash of light, like riding at 80kmph where you could enjoy only the speed not the nature around you.

As i am studying political science and anthropology...they have twisted my mind and now i got a new weird wish. I dont want to grow old...i don't want to die without my consent.Just like Dorian gray of Oscar wild or bheeshma of mahabharata ( to say the truth i prefer dorian gray than bheeshma..he grew old..i dont want to!!) For few days i was like....why i had to turn 25?? after that...'i turned 25 really fast'...and later ' i am already 25...i missed so much and there is a lot to see'.

It was the same feeling when i watched the film 'Yuva'. First half was fine...second half too interesting and suddenly the end came. I expected more in the end. I could not believe that's the climax. I dont want to get-out of theater...i wanted an immediate sequel ...without buying another tickets without moving my body from the seat. I refused to accept the climax. I kind of expected the same thing from my 25th birthday. Nothing i dreamed happened.

This whole truth is more disgusting when you read GK. Right now i am feeling...oooh i dont know this but i am 25. Same thought thumps in ur mind when you find a new word while reading a book..and you have no idea about it.

A lot of theories, philosophies , movies , books, paintings, issues, .....which i dont know but i am 25. And the thought is more humiliating when i stare at few books which i bought when i was around 20 or 22.

Within just few months after i realized about being 25...i am going to be 26. The stupid dimension called time doesnot stop...it is not giving me sufficient time to understand things...its been dragging me...like told in the movie kate and leopold "We can feel it, we can feel it passing, but we can't see it. It's just like a blur. It's like we're riding in a supersonic train and the world is just blowing by, but imagine if we could stop that train,get out, look around, and see time for what it really is? A universe, a world, a thing as unimaginable as colour to a dog, and as real, as tangible as that chair you're sitting in. Now if we could see it like that, really look at it, then maybe we could see the flaws as well as the form. And that's it; it's that simple."

Maybe this was the reason...people dream of everlasting-life-and-youth..a time machine where you can go back and correct few things. Still people fascinate them. I am sure many pair of eyes glowed just like mine when our lecturer told "We age because the cells stop reproducing after few number of times defined by the DNA, may be we wont grow old if we can tamper ticking clock in the DNA".

Of course we are wise to accept the truth...but dream of it. I wonder why people blackens their silver hair? Why there is so much market for the things which makes us look younger.

Still i am in process of conquering my laziness, still i didnt learn spanish and tamil ( for last 5yrs i was trying to learn them), still i dont have kawasaki ninja, still i dont know much about share market, still there are few great books i never heard of, still a lot of places i ever visited,worst is still i am in hyderabad.....uffff really i would like to be Dorian gray. Let the nature age my picture not me!!! Or else my situation will be like this...



I think i really need think about it...or else i will be just another man who called by people at first "chinna" after that "anna" and later "uncle".

Lets play it!!

I think it was Shakespeare who said something like all the world is a stage and we are the characters in it. I am not sure up to how much extent he was right!! And somebody said the world is a play ground. I agree to that. And do u know what the game we play in it. The most famous blame game!!

I know u must be smiling now. But its truth. I guess we start playing this game when we were in school. Each you get less marks in a subject and when our parents questioned about them we say "That teacher does not like me...she always mean to me" and when we grow and goto college and when we get less marks we throw the blame on the examiner by saying either the examiner corrected our answers sheets after having a fight with his spouse or with empty stomach.

After studies we will be entering a beautiful era called unemployment. If we observe the old movies there the hero says the interviewers was a scoundrel and already sold the job to someone so just for sake taking the interview he took it. We will never know what exactly happened. Now a days we throw the blame on our horoscopes, our stars and planets.

When we got a job and not performing well we complain on our boss who is not at all cooperating. If our peers got promoted, if he is a guy we would say "he is such a boot licker" or "he stole the credit for my work and got promoted". If its a girl " That pervert team leader likes her or else i would have got promoted" or " that bitch is going out with the manager, thats how she got it". To cover up our laziness to cast a vote we would say "does it matter if i give my vote or not, by this time somebody would have used mine, its waste of time to go and stand in the queue" and to cover up our guiltiness when we think the govt took a wrong decision and we didnt utilized our right we will say " i dont know why these illiterate 420's get elected to rule us, really politics are going dirty yaar".

Children blame parents for their financial stage and their education. Communists blame liberalism for every bad thing around us. We blame the govt for bumpy roads, hiding the fact that we didnt pay our taxes.

Dementors

Nobody understands me.
I am all alone in this world.
why dont i die.
my fate is like that.
God wants me to suffer I dont know why,
Nobody is there when I need one,
I am unfit to live,
They were not smiling happily.....they r mocking,
Nobody respects me,
Nobody listens me,
what did i do why u hate me so much,
why everybody hates me,
You people will be happy only after I die,
You made me suffer a lot...dont cry when i die,
Why did i born in the first place,
oooh god why dont you take me from this hell,
Cant u see how much work i have to do...and u dont have a heart to help me,
oooh dont bother dear..i am born to suffer,
I am the unlucky person on the earth, no one loves me,
They dont love me because i am ugly,
I never got what i want

Did those statements sound familier to you....usually they are used by dementors 'regularly' on their target. Many use these statements once or twise when they are in depression. But the case with dementors is different.

Do you know what dementors are? If not let me 'enlighten' you. they are the magical creatures who can 'suck' happiness and hope out of you. Cool huh? Not exactly.They can glide and used as prison gaurds. After all a prisoner will try to escape from the prison hoping that he wont get caugt and could live happily thereafter. When these creatures suck the hope and happiness from them the prisoners dont have any motive to escape. Though they appear first time in Harry potter series, later I observed that the author of the series might have created them keeping a certain kind of people in mind. They are the real dementors around us. They could neither glide nor appear in the black robes like the magical creatures do. But they could suck the happiness from you.

These are the persons who are never seem to be happy, never stop complaining about others and things. They have desires, at least they say so, but they wont try to fulfill them. They expect someone to do it for them. If someone did it they are happy. But their expression of happiness is diffrent from ours. When we are happy, we smile, we laugh in some cases we even jump. When they are not complaining about something you could make a guess that they are happy with it. Or there is another possibility ,may be thry are thinking hard on what to complain next!!

They give an impression that 'The whole world conspires to hurt them'.

No, no, dont think that i have included the ppl for those life is really hard...i was talking about the ppl who cry over little things like ...when the other person did not take the call or there is house-full board when they went to a movie. More importantly when the other person did not obey them.

If u have a rigid soul you might feel boredom if u are sensitive you will feel their depression...the worst happens when u start enjoying that depression and talking about it. In this way another dementor takes birth.

Interesting point to observe here is, u will come to know that a particular person is dementor, only after they choose u as target. They usually choose person who they love or whom they could influence. The struggle starts if your loved one is a dementor, you try to make them happy, ..and they deny to be happy. Sometimes its fun to observe how they could turn a positive situation into negetive and then start crying. They dont follow the one of hte simple rules of happy life " change what u cant accept and accept what you cant change'..they wont accept anything and they wont try to change them. Just like a happy person an unhappy person will always find a reason to be unhappy.

They chide about everything, ur shirt, room, ur behavior. Somehow they give an impression that they want you to be the best, so they start advising you....about everything. When you are tired of taking advises and explain them why cant you do something as advised ....they will get a reason to cry again...you dont follow their advice and u dont respect them. When you try to advise them they take it as criticism......you criticize them becoz you dont respect them..waaaaaaa

As far as i observed these people are hypocrites, confident (for aquitence) and supportive, The more you try to know them the more they seem to be getting into depression.

And dont think that they are not happy. They are happy by talking about unhappy things. My guess is , there are intellignet beings..their minds works faster..and when dont have the proper mind-work daily...so their mind become evil.

Romancing with greif

Many said many things about grief. But just like love,friendship and fear its a feeling. You dont know it unless it creeps into your soul. It will make you bow. Each time you try to erase the memories which causes it, it will get strengthened. Try to ignore it, you still remember it. Then slowly you will see the cause of it around you, in day to day life. Suddenly you will develop a feeling that the whole world decided to remind the cause of it. You will get a doubt that, is the world mocking at me, i thought nobody knows about, how come the world knew it?

Finally I realized at the back of my mind that I cant keep on running from the memories. I had to surrender. I started to allow the grief to get sunk in my soul. The more in drowned in my heart the more I see the cause of it. And the reminder of the cause makes me restless. I become silent. Somehow I started enjoying it. I find the urge to talk about it with someone, but I had to get the control.

Its easy to beat a logic with emotion. But its damn hard to beat emotion with logic. We knew that the audience wont kill us if we made a mistake but still we get scared of being on stage. Its always hard to control an emotion. Blood pressure will rise when you are in emotion, especially a very powerful emotion, something like grief or a shock or fear. We feel the pressure at the heart. Its as if the blood is getting accumulated there. The chest area becomes heavy and we find it hard to breath. The funniest part is, this blood pressure made us to think that we feel with the heart and think with the mind. When we are sad, a deep sorrow, our body follows some mechanism which made the BP to go high, its just that. We feel and think in the mind. Heart does not contain any feelings except blood.

There are two affects of grief. One: you become silent, unresponsive for a period of time. You feel like something gripped your body so hard taht it become numb. Numbness is not a pleasure to enjoy all the time. Its a discomfort which makes the body senceless for sometime. The initial period is like that. You dont feel anything from outside, numbness makes the physical part to disfunction for sometime, grief has the same affect on your soul. You cant enjoy simple things in life, you get angry for simple reasons and the worst thing is you cant control your anger. Whenever you got hold of the emotion you become another person, you ignore the suggestions and warnings from your logical mind. You feel what you feel and what you do is the right thing to do at that time. When the emotion fades away and when the emotional and logical parts got the equilibrium you shall have the proper judgment.In this whole period grief is at the surface, its the garbage which blocks the way of rays of hope and happiness from the outside world to the bottom of your soul. The outside world would see the dirty surface and start judging you. Well, you cant blame, we usually believe what we see.

After this initial stage, slowly logical part will try to take hold of you, but still the emotional one is powerful. At this stage, we cant suppress our anger completely but we can choose on whom we can dump it. As a social person, I cant shout at people who are my acquitance and not-so-close friends. So we direct all the anger on the loved ones, thinking and feeling that they will understand our emotions and they can bare it.

For first few times it's okey for them. After that they will start thinking that, why the hell he is only angry at me? Does he love me any more? Why am i the scapegoat always, I love him, it doesnot mean them he can shout at me...I think we lost the connection between us. And the others will start revolting against you, and you will be confused and you will start getting the same doubt. I love them and I thought they loved me, cant they bare when i am mess?? Are they really the people I loved and believed? Does love means be with the person if and only if they are not-sad??. We cant blame them because we never did explain them what exactly happened.

Their revolt will add more grief. After being with it for a long time, I got boredom. I realized that I had to move on. I indulged myself into new hobbies, just keep my mind busy. I started enjoying the rock music with full sound. I keep the volume so high, hoping that the invisible sound waves from the speakers or from the earphones will clean my mind and soul. I started to pull my self, I started calling friends who I ignored in the initial stage. I dont want to be alone, I got an urge to speak to a good listener. Who listens me and keep me talking without giving me some advise or correcting me in the middle. I realized how much irritating when someone inturrepts when you are talking emotionally.

I did not find any. My relationships with the lost ones were not healed yet. Again I started thinking from others point of view and started hating myself for directing my anger on them. But i started living again.To keep the emotion part alive, I always need food for my mind . I would call this process, Moving!!! The dirty part from the surface is still going down, contaminating the whole emotional thing.

Now I become a sensible and logical human being again. But this time I am strong regarding handling emotions and more logical. My past relations are healing up. The dirty part settled at the bottom. Covering considerable area of bottom from outside light. The onlookers cant see it, only who dive in the lake may observe it. But I put up danger signs at the shore.

But anything which reminds me the cause of the grief, I will go back to stage one for some time. I tried to sink it further, so that it will be part of my life i.e everyday life and I need not respond to it emotionally.

As they say, everything happens for good, I learned a new lesson which i think and feel good. The lesson is you cant be logical to the people you love. You are emotional. You cant hide emotions from them. You cant deal with them just like you did with the collegue or acquittance. If you could do it....then the people around you are always happy.

Admire me!!!

For a long time I have been observing one thing in people that lot of them crave for either admiration or pity. I think that gives them the happiness of being important or great.

As we admire people who are greater than us, there are two ways to get admiration. Prove or at least say that you are better than others in certain areas. You could talk about the extra work u have done in the office (Eventhough its for ur own incentives wrap the fact with things "just doing a favor for my frnd" or "i am doing it becoz it helps the company to grow") or about ur past achievements like "I bowled Laxman many times while practicing, he says i am best the bowler compared to srinath (You probably met him once in LB Stadium while taking an autograph)" or "Mahesh babu used to copy my maths homework". We come across many ppl like that, in buses, in trains, mainly while traveling. Because when I am not going see ur face for second time, i could say whatever i want to say. This is type-1 of getting admiration from others, where you boast yourself about ur virtues, values u have, the achievements you have made (Does not matter, true or false) If you does not have anything to boast about yourself , praise your caste, religion, your skin color, the region you belong to ....etc etc

The type-2 method is a cruel one. In this method, you will degrade the otherperson so that you are relatively better than him, so you deserve admiration. This is theory of relativity. "You belong to lower caste, i belong to upper one so respect me, admire me because god has chosen me to give birth as uppercast fellow not you" or "oooh, dude, look at him he is black as coal, in the darkness you can only see his eyes n teeth" or "i am a man, as a lady you are weaker than me, so obey me, even Bharateeya samskruti sampradayalu supports me", "i belong to that religion which is better than yours".

If you have more area of land in your control then you are better than others. Might be this is the reason for half of the wars happened in the history. Alexander thought if he could conquer the world he would be the greatest of all in the world, deserving un-ending admiration Every religion claims that there is only one god, and that god or his son belongs their religion so other religions are without any god, so practicing them is waste of time. Jews thought christian philosophy is not right, after few centuries christians starting think that jews are burden to the world. Christrians (Extremists) claim that only their religion gives peace so get baptised, muslims (Extremists) think that rest of all religions are aginst god, so erase them, hindus(Extreamits) always think in vedas details about every techonlogy is written , thiers is the oldest civilization, as the stupid proverb goes, old is gold, thirs is best religion so every non-hindu must leave this country, dead or alive, or they should obey hindus n respect them.

Europeans thought having white skin is a great thing. They behaved with others as if having a black-skin is a sin. And we all know how colored people still struggling with that dogma.

I am working in an MNC so i am better than you as you are working for a domestic company. I am better than you, because i work in software , u work in non-software. I am better than you, because i am getting paid more than you.

Even the local political parties do the same thing, instead of talking about their own good qualities, they spend most of the time how rest of the parties are bad.

Cant we put an end to this? Cant to we treat the other person, in the same way we treat ourselves. Cant we eradicate the feeling of i-am-better-than-you. Cant we enjoy the equality even after school or college , where we enjoyed with our friends, freaking out and laughing with them irrespective of the academics or his/her family background? Lets give a thought about it.......

Greatest virtue in the world---laziness!!

Often people see laziness as vice, but i guess its a virtue. And its the driving force which makes the world move forward. We are too lazy to move our hands to communicate so we learned how to speak. And some people went too far, they dont want to move their jaws to communicate, they will just give expressions and expect us to understand. We are too lazy to understand that expressions from their point of view and we will just assume whatever come to our mind, leading to misunderstandings.

We are lazy togo n kill a person with small arms, we developed guns. Students r too lazy to work hard so they copy in the exams.

We are lazy to goto bank and do the transaction, so they invented online banking. And mobile banking come to our rescue when we are lazy to sit before a computer to do the bank work!!

We often use "k" insted of "ok" while smsing or chatting, dont u think its funny? If we dont have laziness why would anyone invent a tv remote? And even slavery is result of our laziness.

Especialy we indians are too lazy to do anything. We are too lazy to raise our voice against injustice. We lazy to cast our vote. Lazy to take precuations untill something bad happens. Lazy to know what happening to the country. So usually we depend upon the cab-gossips, bus-chats to improve our knowledges.

But we are the best in claiming that we are not lazy. We invented nothing expect zero, but we claim every scintific invention from radio waves to nuclear bomb, stolen from our vedas by foregners. We talk about politics though we never use power of vote. Lazy enough to go n pay our taxes, but we complain about bumping roads to power cuts. We are lazy to goto theater to watch a film, so we use piracy CD's. We talk about indian traditions n customs but lazy to learn sanskrit and lazy to conduct the marriage for 5 days.

Men are lzier than women. Its not the attribute we men develope while growing, its hardwired in our mind even before taking birth.Its considered that boyz prefer to sleep in the womb not like girls who move n kick their mothers from inside.

If u dont have laziness that indicates, u r not happy.You work on something if it is not acceptable to you or there is something u think not going in the right way. You want to change that n create a mess. Women always do that. They clean the room everyday and still doesnt where they kept the mobile or remote or handbag. We men developed memory power to balance our virtue.

The indian philosophy comes to handy in this regard, that its not real. We are living in maya, just like matrix. Then what is point of working hard when its not real.

Lets take a test to check how lazy u are, answer the following questions and find that out

1. I will never use T9 while texting and i wont use so called sms language.

2. I goto theater stand in the queue and take tickets, never use online booking or telephone booking

3. I goto Railway station n fillup the reservation form , never reserved through online.

4. My room is alway is clean, tidy and sophisticated.

5. After drinking tea or anything at home i will put the glass in the sink.

6. I work out daily.

7.I dont use speed dial in my mobile.

8. I never forgot taking Id card to office.

Now tell me how much lazy u r?

Home alone!!

I am alone at home for past 10days, enjoying the home without any restrictions. The day my mom and dad went out of station it was in their style now its in my style. Sanjeev's style....complete mess. The floor become sticky due to dust. Ofcourse my foot dont touch the floor because news papers are scattered everywhere. If some guests come to home they cant identify which one is hall , which one is bedroom and kitchen. Unclean dishes are everywhere in the house. Some acheived to transform the my house that is 'home sweet home' to bachelors room.

I am lazy to wash dishes and even lazy to throw them in backyard to let maid clean it. So since last week i have been using rice bowl for tea and same glass to have it. No need to mention about the process called "washing cloths"(Doing it now).

But in these 10 days i have leant some new skills...i would say life saving skills...like preparing maggi. Even i experimented on potato fry (added some sugar to it along with chilli and salt....not so good but eatable.

Well, today i have learnt a new thing about human psychology or my psychology. That is whenever we feel great about something that depends upon many constraints which we even dont know. If u ever enjoyed a cappuccino at coffee day or somewhere when u felt like 'wow' its not the coffee alone made u feel like that even the ambiance , the music they are playing, glass in which it is served, the politeness of the waiter, the ac and even the chair.

Today i made cappuccino at home. Its instant coffee make from bru. A cold one. I would appreciate it when i had it at some restaurant served in a tall glass with a lemon and straw.

The process is simple, cut the packet, empty it in an glass and pour chilled water,stir it and wait for the creamy forth to rise. Its as per the instructions. I cut the sachet, emptied it in a steel water mug (all the glasses are yet to be clean) then i added water and stirred it with a knife ( status of spoons and glasses are same), waited 5 min for the creamy thing. Nothing formed except the foam which is formed when i stirred it. I thought its ok and started sipping it. It was sour. I read the instructions again, i was right in making it. Dont know where i went wrong. Then i waited some more time hoping the creamy thing pop up. No, nothing happened. By that time it lost is coldness and when i sipped it, it tasted like the ordinary morning filter coffee which lost its heat by evening. ( I am good at forgetting things!!). I tried to complete it with my will power but my will power is very low then i gave up. Now coconut tree in the backyard drinking it. I wonder how it is feeling while having it. I hoping to get cappuccino coconuts from now on.

Day after tomorrow is the big day. My parents will come to hyderabad. I am trying to make the house 'home sweet home' again. I dont now why ppl lke neat and tidy houses., wish to kill that fellow who first said "cleanliness is next to godliness". My mom wont understand when i say "i am an agnostic, so i need not work for cleanliness".
