New state of Telengana

I think it is too late to comment on this topic. Nevertheless, i would like to be atleast late than NEVER.
Congress has finally agreed to create Telengana out of Andra Pradesh. Just within 70 years of Independence, the wheels are coming of off.. and we are creating smaller and smaller states. Though i dont belong to that state, i really feel bad.. of the division and creation.
I think the decision has been made in haste, after being cornered and also with no other options as well.
There can be N reasons to create a small state.. but to me a state should have all kinds of terrain to maximize its wealth. To really see a Southern state DEVOID of a Coastal line is really discouraging. Secondly this division is more with the politics. Congress with its Blind faith with Ms. Gandhi and co,has take this extreme step. Historically Congress has done great dis-service to its southern leaders be it Narashima Rao or Rajasekara Reddy or our own great Kamarajar. The Centre has always over used these people to ride through the storm and forget them easily. Kiran Kumar Reddy is not that a stalwart yet, but he has been made a pawn.Having said this, i strongly believe that "united we stand, divided we fall"!

Anubhavam Pudhumai!

Wish you all had a peaceful year 2012.
 As the title suggests one thing that constantly keeps happening to all of us is the experience.
 Experience is always new. Though it may sound a repeat, there are subtle changes that gives each one an unique tag.
 I love old movies and music of tamil films. Very recently i did a revision of one movie "Kadhalika Neramillai". Simply a master piece of humor and a good story with a great music by MSV sir.
 Lyrics by Kavingar. Wow..
 One of the songs is Anubhavam Pudhumai. I really love this song. Just i got a good interesting information that i would like to share with you. Well Sridhar ,the director of this movie when he described this song to MSV during song composition MSV suggested an another music.
 Sridhar then played the song that he heard "Besame Mucho".
 Besame Trivia: Its a spanish song composed around 1940. It means "Lot of Kisses"

 If it is to be believed, MSV adapted this Besame Mucho to our own "Anubhavam Pudumai". Wow master i bow to thee. With a free flowing simple lyrics and a simple presentation of song.
Truely a master piece of long time.
 I present to you both these . Enjoy.!!

 

 

Another version with slightly lengthy song !!

Bye bye 2012.

2013 Puthaandu nall Vazhthukal. Felice anno nuova .. Happy Pudhu Anubhavam to all of you.

ShabhaKhair!!

 

what an end?

Its end of year around the corner and its has been a year of experience for me with lot of learnings and few more in last few days left in this calender month.
Holy grail we passed the Mayan deadline and what not.. last but not the least bit of sorrow that god of cricket is retiring slowly .
I want to record a little story.
It was month of February, 1992 , two fifth standard kids were returning from their school, back to home, waiting for the local bus @ GH bus stop. They were deeply engrossed in some discussion. Probably visionaries they were i would say :) . Believe me .  They were discussing when Sachin would be retiring :) The hotly debated topic ended this way. With Shyam Kishore summing up the discussion. Sachin wins the world cup 2011 for India and he retires in the final . The former happened i was really happy, probably Shyam, who i suppose is in London would have felt so.

Well Sachin won this last year with a  host of young players who were mostly new borns when he weilded the bat first time. Well GOC is bidding now adieu slowly, its a sad day for the generation for two decades or more years. Blame it  the body not on you.. the sparkling sun.
Dont we know even great emperors retire to resting?

Secondly IPL has made the subcontinent no more an alien to the west. Thats why the australian and english teams fare better than normal these days, and it has opened up a pandoras box. Probably the greats are no more active , i think the taste of audience will change for better sport and leave cricket for good. Cricket has become a over used miltch cow in India specially, and it has lost its charm.

Master you were wonderful. It will be even unbelieveable for generations to come, to know that such a man played this sport. So graceful , so elegant, and so majestic . Its only you. Sachin , the truth that is always in. I dont mind joining in remembering you , though a bit late.
Well an after thought now... probably did Mayan mean this declaration from you as the end of their calender. If it is so, yes its true ,its a very sad prediction.

IPL!! IPL!! IPL!!

Is it really Indian Premiere League? Come on!! Be frank. Call it International Premiere League.
Some crazy rules like 4 foreign players only allowed and rest are local lads.
But the sad part is that most of the times only with these foreign players the home team scamper home. How horrendous to see all these and still believe that this is being played in the best interest of cricket?! Its all about business and glamor thats all.
Secondly its also heartening to see good players and great players being auctioned.
How on earth can such things happen? Only commodities can be auctioned or secondly in medieval  age SLAVES were auctioned.
Its very clear that Ex-cricketers play this tournament for sustaining their markets and the young crop of cricketers play for the riches. The essence of cricket is long lost.
I feel that people will not be ready to play the  long and the longer formats any more and it is also visible these days.
Last and most important thing. Since it has become an accepted norm of  Wham-Bham smack all over the park kind of cricket, why genuinely kill bowlers and their art? Its all the way tailor made pitches for these kind of cricket, it would be better instead of bowlers use programmable Bowling machines by both the sides and have all 11 batsmen to whack the red cherry!! Atleast the bowlers morale and art of good bowling will be preserved for posterity.

SEZ

SEZ. Well most of us know it. Special Economic Zone. Correct. Both of us are correct.
Most of us toil in our SEZ office space day in and day out.
Little digging of this SEZ threw out some concept. Well i dont go deep now into this.
It relates by some ratio the work or earnings that our company make against a relative 'projected produce that possibly comes from the land (may be from Agriculture and Industry).

Well my SEZ is pretty close to the same fundamentals. Well my SEZ is Solar Energy Zone.Many vast expanse of land in Ramanathapuram,Vellore, district, and arid/semi arid zones across our country depend mostly on the seasonal rains and non-perennial rivers for agriculture.
When the water fails, the entire belt is belted badly. Suicides, climbing loan repayments, Sorrow,Sorrow,Sorrow.
Setting up Solar Energy Harvesting Grid in these places will make and equate this energy produced as the land's actual economical produce(at least partial!, which is always better than 0). Most of these poor farming land owners can be better off economically by this,though slowly over some period.
This setup also need not be permanent structures! When the government predicts that the monsoon is good, the Energy Harvesting Structures can give away to the green carpets of real harvest.
When there is dry period prediction,EHS can come in handy.

By making an energy harvesting society, where by these localized grids can be integrated, the power problems can be better managed.
(No 8 hrs power cut!! No election manifesto on it!!wow)
From being a consumer, we can become Supplier.

Further the better part is : Self reliance, less pollution, and relatively clean energy.

Why need Nuclear energy when ample Sun is there!!?

Is there anyone listening?!

This one is assorted!

What would i say now? For atleast more than a month, i wanted to write on one thing, and few other things added up as well.
The first thing is on the present state of the game which iam very passionate about. Yes i am very disappointed that the swan song of my Trimurti @ Australia is not really befitting.
But its really sad to take out knifes sharpened against them. After all they gave lot of happiness and credibility to cricket and Indian sport over all.
Particularly this kid Sachin is enchanting as always. Now suddenly people talk that he is a liability. Horrible. Its a horrible thought. No doubt Kal Chakra cannot be won by mortals. Leave him at peace! None of the media team or the ex-cricketers helped him get a single run on the field. Time and again, for 22 years and ticking he has done it innumerable times. Guys who get cosy and snazzy commentary rooms make lot of noises as if they were the legends.
I still believe that unless for India's position in the Cricket's geography, the game would have been still a White's game.Also its an open secret that Cricket bodies make money- big money only with subcontinent and that too only with India.
Hence its greediness on their part to go on the over kill, add on top of it with IPL which is just totally waste.

2.The second point:- Sonia Gandhi's Income tax cannot be known through RTI or neither her religion practises can be known!!.
These people preach about honesty and also speak a lot about upliftment, but themselves are quite hyprocrites. Unfortunately in this country,the politicans -powerful people have their say!! Its time we take a note of these happenings cutting across party lines and make them pay for it.

3. Obama cribbing about India and China buying lots of cars and guzzling up petrol.

Boss!! Remember -India and China constitute a total of 36 %(individually 17% and 19%) of world's population. You cannot cribb if i get a BMW or Maruti!!
You are distant 3rd with just 5%!!!
You give jobs to third worlds.. right.. but its again your capitalists making money every where.

Check your plate! Your country tops the World's leading debt list.But you are just 5% but why do you top the debt list? India is in 25th rank here and China is at 20.
Atleast for past two decades you have wagging useless wars all around.
Big brother?! huh?!Thats y you pay for your Karmas.

Leisure

Guys,today i remembered one of my fourth standard English poems called "Leisure" written by William Henry Davis.Its very simple in english and i love it long time now.

What is this life if, full of care,
We have no time to stand and stare.

No time to stand beneath the boughs
And stare as long as sheep or cows.

No time to see, when woods we pass,
Where squirrels hide their nuts in grass.

No time to see, in broad daylight,
Streams full of stars, like skies at night.

No time to turn at Beauty's glance,
And watch her feet, how they can dance.

No time to wait till her mouth can
Enrich that smile her eyes began.

A poor life this is if, full of care,
We have no time to stand and stare.

Looking into these passage, i wonder how true his words have come true! Believe me this poem is atleast a century old. The poet must have been visionary to predict how fast our life will become. True to the essence , i feel we are quite rushing all the time and missing all the small time happiness spread around us. I had a quick opportunity to follow some thing mentioned in this poem. I just went out and got into leisure.I was really happy.I just share this with u.
Yep the pic was taken with my camera in my garden :-)
Leisure.. is needed by everyone for sure!
