I used to wonder about certain names that some of our vegetables carry. This story is on one such vegetable. Believe me it dates back to Mahabharatham period. :)..:P
One day as kids....Kauravas and pandavas were playing in the fields of Kurukshetra.
As a close friend to Duruyodhanan, Karnan was also eager to play with all the 105 kids. (Gyan: 100 Kauravars + 5 Pandavars)
But dhronacharyar did not allow him, because he was not a prince :-). But Duruyodhanan was very kind to Karnan. So he let him play with the team.
As a part of playing , every kid was digging and playing in the mud. Karnan was very good at playing. So he also started digging , and making small hills of sand in the playground. Strangely he was getting lot of stout root tubers whereever he was digging. He was showing this to all the elders over there. Everyone felt that this strange root was good for eating. But it was new vegetable found. They had no names to it. Since Karnan had found this vegetable. They named it "Karna Kezhangu"!! :)
Since out of generosity of Duruyodhanan that he got very popular. Karnan renamed this vegetable discovered by him as "Karunai Kezhangu"( In english : Tuber out of generosity") :-)..
So till this date out of respect for Karnan and also out of respect for the friendship of Karnan to Duryodhanan.. we call it "karna kezhangu / Karunai Kezhangu".
So if you find one such in your kitchen.. it is an archaelogical thing. preserve it :-) Ciao!!

Future is back
Nose stud. That is really nice with a bright studded diamond.
Its a fashion statement i told myself. Its a hot cake to all the Metrosexuals. I consoled myself with all the wierd concepts to buy one nose stud for myself.
I should buy one for myself for my very life and survival. The government has brought new laws to curb inflation. This out of blue moon idea came just like many decades before a famous union railway minister (from Bahar!) made the Railway departments balance sheet very glossy and attractive through his innovative ways and ideas. This idea has been floating for more than two decades. Yet it was successfully passed last month in the parliment in the year of 2049 again under the aegis of one G-'ji. The holy spirit of G-ji is the guarding angel.God save G-ji.
What is this nose stud? all wonder?! Yes this nose stud is Oxygen monitor meter which every citizen of this country must carry.
Just an able MP asked this question in the question hour during the winter session. Now that the air,atmosphere is rationed by the countries in the world, we cannot continue our freebies where in our people can inhale air free of cost.
Also that we tax our people for water,land,and energy only .Still there are two bhoothams that are left free to roam within the country.
These two freebies boothams are dangerous to our economy. The cabinet , the oppositions, central left,middle center, Right extreme, pink, Yellow , Blue ,orange, red, saffron, seculars, peculiars all parties went through rounds and rounds of discussions with no effect.
Atlast there was a break through. They arrived at a conclusion.
10kg of oxygen/air is free breathing for a person in a month.
Above 10kg of oxygen/air- it is 0.5kg @ 39,00USDEURINRYENDINAR*. (Unified world market single currency)
Well it was getting a bit complex here.
ABC?! OC?! BC?! MBMC,CC,SC,TC,ST,MC,HMC,MBHC,!! Quota came into play. The ministers got crazy! 20% RESERVATION FOR THIS .. 27.7% RESERVATION FOR THAT , 30% RESERVATION FOR THOSE, 10% RESERVATION FOR THESE,15.45% RESERVATION FOR THEM!!..
The super court was shocked. The judge said" Guys! your entire reservation is exceeding 100, it is actually 103.15%".
Never bother. A rule is a rule!! So came in the BT. Breath tax!! My grandfather said.. "Son, in my younger days, there used to be a tax called PT, the Professional tax, where in i paid 200Rs for many infinite years!! this BT is very strange!!"
Every month along with your electricity,water and gas bills this oxygen bill will also to be borne by the individual. Welcome to year 2050!!

Hex Decimal Equivalent 57005
August 15th,2011.Time 10.30 pm @ Koyembedu Bustand. I was awaiting my bus to board to Bangalore. The scheduled bus was delayed by more than half an hour. It was quarter past Eleven. There was big rush at the terminus owing to the festival and long weekends. I felt truely nostalgic. There was a sudden urge in me go back home instinctively. I Curbed it, soothing my nerves saying that I am too old for such a feeling.
A mofusil bus came to the parking bay. The driver and conductor just got down to refresh themselves. Being already late by more than a hour, our 10.30 pm bus passengers grew restless , boarding the bus on their own. They even advised the conductor to get this bus scheduled for the same. The conductor proceeded to the 'time keeper'. I boarded the bus. Seat Number 13, on the right side. Beside me was another Karthik Seat Number 14. I was amused at the strange coincidence. The bus was poorly lit with dim lamps and most of the people were sweating profusely because of hot weather outside. I opened the window shield to get some air.
The bus got ready for its schedule departure. The last two seats remained unfilled and two passengers got in. "Keep 307 rs ready" Said the conductor to each of them .
The air slowly started to flow in . and out we got on the Bangalore -Highway.
It was fine with few tea stops during the journey that conductor and driver got down to refresh themselves.
At half past five , there was strange rumblings,crash and shouts which woke me up. I was fine. I looked around. I found lot of sand strewn across my face and all over my seat. Slowly the shouts and shocks gave into yelling and howlings. It was all dark inside the bus. I realized for the first time in my life, that the bus i had travelled met with a serious accident. The 16th August dawn has a lasting impact in my life. The early morning rays at place outside Kolar gave me the clear picture. The left half of bus was crushed ,only mangled metal pieces and debris remained. I am very lucky to write this experience, for no one else should ever come across such a scene. Mangled luggage, severed limbs, broken legs, it was truely devastating.
It was around 6.15am, the ambulance started rescuing people.
Casualities?! Yes i saw atleast couple , Conductor one among them . I still ask this question Why this experience for me and the rest of the passengers. This incident is quite strong for me and for anyone i suppose. Well i understand that Hex equivalent of "57005" is there always for all. But its my humble prayer it should not be gruesome to anyone.
Later as i shared my unfortunate incident with my friends, they were shocked.
For they had also seen the same , through the Film "Engeyum Epodhum". True as shown in the climax of the movie, my experience was equally shocking and gruesome.
Divine intervention and some guarding angels saved our lives.
OM Shaanthi Shaanthi Shaanthihi.
