HELOO ALL.....ITS ME HERE
Long time since I wrote anything and I have undergone some sort of change I feel and when I look back it seems so far away.Though its only 1 month after november 25 ,it feels much more than that.
Hindi seems like a mountain to climb.There a few of them to climb that mountain with me,even though small in number.One of them was with me in the train journey to bhubhaneswar who asked a Bihari “thu kahan se aandhar aaya?”.He wanted to ask from where did he board the train?!!!!!!!
This is a very cool place both literally and otherwise.But you don’t need a sweater to live here.Thats the good thing here.My body didn’t pour a single drop of sweat after coming here.
After 2 or 3 days of induction we started trudging towards the world of software and even now trying hard to find the balance.But I think I will find the balance shortly.
Our first phase of training is over and now marching towards the second phase and a bit relaxed because all exams are over .
Fortunately or unfortunately I got posting at Mumbai.Unfortunate because it is far away from kerala and fortunate because Mumbai is a nice place.
Phase 2 begins on Monday and My stream is Java and its quite demanding an atmosphere here,though not so stressful.You need not perform all the time,but when you are asked to do,you should do well.

CHRISTMAS CELEBRATIONS 2009
We thought we would not even be able to see a cake here,but this Christmas became one of the most celebrated ones for us.We bought a huge cake worth Rs.900 and we arranged a party evening.Party was at our apartments and we invited some tamil,telugu people also.
Baloons decorated our rooms and we also had foam sprayers and all.Tamil people bought huge cans of pepsi and Miranda also.
Our Christian friends Jinse and bestin cut the cake and they exchanged a single bite and that was the only moment where the cake was eaten.
Then we started decorating each others faces with pieces of cake.Foam was sprayed all over and somebody even got a mouthful of foam,and face full of cake.
Then it was miranda’s turn and the whole wall became orange in color in no time.
Then it seemed like an end of a war and what was remaining was the marks in the floor and wall.
After that we started cleaning and somehow floor was okay and marks in the wall are still remaining.
We were relieved to see to it that the floor was okay because atleast we wont get some oriya abuses from the people who come to clean the room the next morning.

Rough post
On the eve of leaving to bhuvaneswar to start my professional life with TCS...sitting in front of computer with no topic actually to write here.
Hearing HUM TUM song making me feel I am gonna miss something more than actually I have now in my list.
I have got a whole lot of good friends for the last few months through internet.They made my boring days for wait of date of joining more lively and I shared my happiness and sorrows with them.They were so comforting and sharing.Sure I will miss them.
Then packing is almost done and also the documents..
I actually bought a brown shoes and we need black,so thats a cause of worry.just thinking they might not be strict with that.
I called my friends today and some of them who were busy when I called,called me back.
I Called sooraj,anoopmk,stallon,sibin,kumban(nikhil raj),sagir,sujeesh,sharath,sumesh and tried to call ragettan(sreerag)but he was switched off.
I spoke to sudheesh also when I called sibin.

My Crush list
Well,My crush list is not too long.
But it has certain unique features.
I started filling the list as early as third standard...But the definition may have been different then.I may have been Inspired by some films,but the fact remains I had crush on her.
Komalam.K(not the real name)was not so charming and all,but her gestures attracted me.I was actually following the policy of 'one at a time' and I continued with komalam upto 9th standard.
We were sitting together in the bench in 3rd and fourth and I remember I told a lot of 'kathis' to her.
As I grew up,we didnt talk much because I became a bit shy but I continued my love till 9th.
Komalam never knew about my wish...:(
Then komalam is off to the back stage right when I reached my 10TH standard meenakshi(not real name) enters the scene.
It is even funnier.On my way to school on my bicycle I used to visit temple everyday.Her house was near the temple and I timed my visit such that when i leave she will be just 50 metres from the temple gate.
Then I will stop as if I accidentally saw her and we talk just for 2 or 3 minutes enough for me n my crush.
She also never knew about my wish...:(
Then its over to +2.Different school and I noticed one gal.Her name was nalina(not real)She too was not so charming but was a chatter box.she also never knew about my wish and as I expected she got a boy friend very soon.....pooor me..:(.
Then to college..There also I noticed one girl.Her name was Ashwathy(not real).She sat at the first bench and was very Immobile in the intial days.Most of the days she was wearing a yellow churidar with brown shawl.somehow it flashed in the whole class and I had many competitors.For me this was the first successful crush because she came to know about this.(ha ha ha)
so college life is over now and ashwathy too is off to the back stage now.
who is the next person to the stage?
It is just a matter of time.I am going to join TCS this week and will possibly find on the first week of december itself..:P
But only one prayer...God let me inch towards the next step..."please make this one ways double-lanes..so that we (me n my next heroine)can travel together rather one behind and one infront"

RENT A RELATIONSHIP...:)
All in this earth are only made to believe stuffs..
we feel proud of our acievements and materilaistic comfort n all but they are too short in posession of us to be proud of.
When we loose something,we feel very dejected.But in actual,we feel we lost something which we never got.
By an analogy we can say that all are rented stuffs and the person who rented us is unknown to us.HE wont come and shout at us for loosing that.Then why should we feel so sad of loosing it.
We should feel like,HE gave it to another person and you will get another thing shortly on rent from him.we should be prepared to loose that thing too in the future....
***********************************************************************************
Life goes on probably into a new atmosphere this week..I am gonna become an employed guy...Journey was smooth so far,I think.But pitfalls are many and scope for improvement is wide.Just praying to the person who rents me all to remind me the mistakes so that I wont repeat..and please rent me some relationships that lasts lifelong...

A Goat with out a bell
During our first days in college we went on a fund raising scheme.We went as a group on a sunday to ensure people will be there in their homes and will give us some sound economic support.Actually program,national level technical symposium called QUINTESSENCE,is being organised by seniors and we were asked to go for this.Our group included me,Anoop M K,kalavi(vineeth K V),Niju,Neetha and Tressy.
So we were moving ahead nicely from one home to another hearing some nice abuses and getting some coins..(to indicate Rs.1 to Rs.5).And we were so keen not to cause any discomfort to them other than asking the money.With that in mind we reached at the gate of a particular house.After looking each other for sometime(about who would open it)one of us opened the gate and something ran towards us from their courtyard.And in a very short time it ran some distance from there.Actually we were so happy that it was not a dog(for a moment we thought it was) and it ran away and only to think after 1 minute and realise that it was a goat and every possiblity that it was being brought up by those people.
So,now we cant ask for money and now in a situation that we should pay some money to them as a compensation for goat.We looked in the direction in which the goat ran and at some distance it was standing chewing something and I felt it was smiling at us seeing our situation.
So boys from our group decided to catch it and give it back.We surrounded it from 4 directions and it was professsional enough to escape from our amateuristic way of catching.After 30 minutes of hard work,we somehow managed to catch it.Fortunately (or unfortunately)people inside didnt see any of these.They might have been watching some sunday programs in TV.
We were a little proud too about our achievement and hoped that they would give some extra for our effort when we narrate it.
Then came a person by that way and seeing us with it he told us"vallya upakaram kuttikale,eth vazhi thendi thirinju nadanna aadanu,ella veetilum kayari bayankara shalyama,ningal pidichathu nannayi,ini kondu poykko,evideyonnum vittekalle"
We sat there with disbelief and started blaming each other and one of the sentences I remember
"eda,veetil valarthunna aadanenkil athinte kazhuthil mani kanille?"

Lonely night of Darkness
I was moving in a crowd with hope of reaching the destination slowly but together and at the click of a second all ran away and was seeing the destination earlier and now its the lonely darkness only.
Feeling, quite strange sort of an atmosphere and its darkness all around and am sure a night will always lead to a day,but have to experience all that is in night before reaching the day..
Lonely night in waiting and am just at the start of it,oh god!!how to go through it?
I can hear sounds from here and there suggesting me the alternatives and even saying I will reach the destination moving through the darkness..
Ups and downs are inevitable but this was like letting me down inviting something that went the otherway...
PS:I am into the lonely night of darkness.........see you all Tomorrow morning...
How long this 12 hours be?.............Surely a million dollar Question for me and a foolish one for a well running time piece...

MY COLLEGE LIFE..
This is all about my college life...
And this is just a humble attempt to portray it.Because of lack of expertise and Imagination,mistakes will be aplenty.
I havent had a good collection of photos too...so may be chance that I missed a lot of people n moments that I love the most...

Suicide Bomber..
"mumma,am doing well?how r u all der?"..shakil asked this when the call was disconnected.This was the call he didn't wish to be disconnected at any cost,may be the last in the list of discriminations meted out to him by the Authorities.
Boss(Mr.Abdul) was the person who gave him a smile when society turned its discrminative face to him.He gave him lot of money.Shakil enjoyed life to the fullest and all his sisters got married and his father and mother are healthy and living good.
Shakil felt he has nothing more to accomplish.His boss is urging him to fight against the authorities that discrminated him and the people from his community.
He knew Islam doesnt advocate violence and stood for peace always.But his boss was eloquent enough to make him follow the path of violence.
And it was late when he knew about the source of money of his boss and he was getting it from some one whom he has seen as charismatic political leaders in daylight.But shakil couldn't come out of the trap.
He was made to believe life is only that much and should sacrifice his life for their community....yeah,tomorrow shakil is the suicide bomber of the squad...some political leader is visiting that place..
Thats why shakkil called his mother.She was told he is working in a high profile job.He talked a bit too much today,he felt.
mumma too asked him,"son,you are in a good mood today?"
Shakil couldnt reply..but he managed to produce an artificial laugh....
He even dont know how much damage he is going to inflict tomorrow.
He thought..Media will report the number of deaths,but he wont be counted
when his mumma will be reliefed to see the absence of his son among civilian caualities,but only to know that suicide bomber was his son..
"shaki,relax..sleep tight...got to do the work tomorrow..you are becoming a martyr"
its BOSS..
shakil thought "How can an Antinational be called a Martyr,Boss?"

Sub Prime Crisis...
This is the Information I got from my friend Manoj who is working in a recruiting company in bangalore and has worked in mortgages..
Sub prime crisis is the root cause of all financial problems in USA. Although I have heard about that,I didnt know about that,until manoj clarified me.
...How we calculate your eligibility : Suppose u have an income of Rs50000 per month., the bank assumes that you need 45 % of that to run your house.
So we take out 55% as your potential EMI.
Supposing you have other loans running, thats also deducted from this..eg:Income = 50000
55% of this : 27500
u have a personal/carloan EMI of :7000
Net EMI possible = 20500
Now the bank assumes that you can pay 20500 permonth for your homeloan.
There are 2 types of interst rates.Floating and fixed.
Fixed rates remain unchanged for the tenure of the loan, and floating would keep varying with the bank changing the rates.The eligibility of loan is a division of Net EMI possible and EMI par lac.
Homeloan rates in 2006 Jan was 7.00% floating, This means for a 20 year loan , the EMI would have been apprx 650 per lac .
Eligibility at Net EMI of 20500 = 31 lacs. Assume he took 31 lacs as his loan.
As the market fluctatued and rates went up, the same customer is now at 12.5% rate of interst..New EMI per lac is 12000 per month.
His EMI payable now on 31 lacs is around Rs 37000 permonth.How much wud his salary have gone up??? Even at a increase of a decent 10% per year, he wud be at 60000 now... His current running cost = 37000 (homeloan) + 7000 (other loan) = 44000 on EMis alone..Inflation is at 12%... add other running costs, and he wud have nothing to live on.You call it sub-prime, bad credit, bad finance management .... he has no option but to default...
So he can't repay the loan resulting in unpaid debts for the bank and economy shatters...

one time passer.....
Bini and Bhavana ...........
Bini looked at that letters......
oh god!!!!My mind is completely void.....why so?This has been the case for sometime....I will write two sentences like this and think for a while and sign out....but today I should make bini do something.....come on bini...whats your problem?where is your bhavana?.....
Bini replied nothing....but he turned on the computer and showed me Bhavana....
Oh....Is this bhavana?....I thought.But if i asked that loud to him,I would have given the right emotion to the words and now even I am confused about the emotion that I had when I asked that in my mind.
Any way,That confusion is almost equal to the confusion that I have about what I am writing here and where I am leading to.
"Bhavana was an average girl and she liked me a lot.I liked her personally..but I was not in a position to love her..I am in a higher caste and My family was very narrow minded and foresaw the resistances I might have to endure if I went ahead with my love and marry her.So I didn't paid attention to bhavana .
But Bhavana couldnt put aside her feelings..she knew about the problems I had and at times she realised and tried to runaway from me..but she couldn't run far away.She continued becoming closer to me,each time she tried to ran away from me."
Date:jul 18...9.30 pm
He showed this to me in his diary written last year....I wanted to ask him..whats the need of this much attention to her in your life...Just punch her out of your way and move ahead...
I felt those words from my mind struck bhavana in that diary and reflected back to Bini.
Bini suddenly spoke out as if he heard me,"hey,I can understand her,she is trying her best to move out of my way,then knowing that how can I punch her out,da?"
Oh..it seems now that I can understand him.Its love in one direction and sympathy in other and the latter is in no way helping both.Sympathy is acting as a positive feedback for bhavana to love bini more and more.
So its a disease which can be cured by inaction rather than action?.Does time has the capability to solve that problem?.
But my advice for Bini is to punch her out...yeah Bini,that might be an initial shock for her,but in the longer run that will help you only.And be friends always....
PS:Question to myself,vattanalle?......

Where there is a will..there is a way??
Its always a good feeling to be in the rain..you feel a little more confident..please dont ask me how but i do feel...Now it has started raining here in the evenings with Thunder and lightning...but i love rain...we play a lot of cricket these days and we start in a bright and sunny atmosphere and ending up only in Heavy rain...But its always a good feel to play in rain..
Coming to Thunder and lightning...I doubt its the reason that I love rain..Yeah ,its true...
May be theory of relativity...:)....(may be sounding dumb)
when both comes..I love rain as much as i hate thunder...
When rain disrupts electricity....I hate rain as much as I love computer....again a relativity..
So it all depends on a reference and whats the difference it can bring to us..i.e..whether its positive or negative
But when I am too involved in computer and wasting my time for productive work I wont hate computer as much as I love any job..in fact the case is that I don't love productive jobs and so I can't hate computer..when I waste time
So the need of the hour is willingness and we should enjoy all those things which bring us good even though it requires
some effort..

So the need of the hour is willingness and we should enjoy all those things which bring us good even though it requires
some effort..
April 29....
April 29,2005..it was the last day for the application of combined first-second semester university examination.I was in chennai then ,enjoying the vacation...not knowing anything about this.And the same day evening ,got a call from my uncle saying that last date of application was that day...you can just imagine my state of mind then...He said I can apply in the university till may 10 ,but I wanted to reach thrissur as early as possible but had to wait till next day evening..because chennai-trivandrum mail starts everyday evening at 6.30 pm from chennai central.I am very thankful to my friends Anoop M K and Abeesh for contacting my uncle and telling him about his.They tried on our landline at kottayam but there was no one there...I am thankful to myself also..:)..that I gave my uncles number also to my friends and wondering why I didn't give the chennai number..I was not having a mobile phone at that time...
So I started next evening and was in the General compartment .....vacation time....no need of imagination to know about the situation I was in...
Actually I took the ticket to kottayam..That was another mistake..because I had my application filled and attested and kept in my house...but I could have got it from college itself..:(..
So by 8.30 am..I reached kottayam..Then..one hour journey to my place and got the attested application form and then one hour journey back to railway station and then straight to Thrissur..I stayed in my hostel "THOMSON" alone and issue was not sorted out..Now its the question whether i need to go to calicut?
Next day morning I went to office and i was told there is another date on which they will accept with fine...But its May 5...it was not possible for me to stay there until then..Then I saw jayakrishnan from Civil and he was staying in hostel for the study leave somewhere in viyyur..I told him about my situation and he said he can do it for me...Thus problem got sorted out by May 1 noon and then its the wait for the train back to chennai...I got allepey-chennai at 6.50pm and reached chennai next day morning.....and again in the general compartment the whole night..
Thus in the span of 60 hours...635+30+135+500=1300 kilometres...oh!!just can't imagine the physical and mental stress I endured..

Pooja.....
Today is vijayadhashami...I used to "pooja vaikal" my study materials.This the first year in memory which i didnot do that...Because Icompleted my studies.These were the days i always used to wait during my school days.No studies at all...a big relief actually...during my college years i didnt wait actually..because all days were like pooja holidays except for study leave before semester exams...
During my lower primary and upper primary school days we used to take all our study materials to an "ashram" in our place.There are a lot of swamis in that ,what do you call,monastery.They are the ones who dont do any miracles and so genuine.But they can calm your mind with their looks and words and they are considering themselves to be one among us,although they are much above us...I always love the smell of "sarpagandhi" flower in the courtyard of that ashram.
so in durgashtami evening we would go to the ashram and give our study materials.Then after we shouldnot read anything....but truth is that we read anything and everything we saw because of the temptation to do something which we are told not to do.we didn't pick and read ,but suppose we were seeing a film we were eager to know who all worked behind it only during pooja holidays...:)
Then after 2 nights and one day..we would go to the ashram again on vijayadhashmi morning.There will be a lot of kids there doing their "vidyarambham".swamis writing on their tongue "harishree ganapathaye namah" using a golden ring.We take back our books we give "dakshina" to the swami...Then there will be a treat by the swamis.....
"Avil,pazham etc"....swamis doesnt like tea...so hot water will be given....when the glass came,i always expected tea but was sad to find hot water..:)
Then on sand we will write all the malayalam letters we learned ...starting with.."om..harishreeganapathaye namah"..Then.."swaraksharangal" and "vygananksharangal"
We will come back to home and will take a plate full of "kuthari"...we will repeat the thing we performed on sand...after that we will take one book out and read one paragraph and straight to ground to have a final one-day match before the start of class next day...

Day Dreams...
Being alone,no need to search for a topic to think..Topics just keep on coming.May be totally absurd at times..but just enough to forget the loneliness.There you enter that virtual world....is it called a day dream?
Dreams during sleep are very unpredictable.Very horrible at times.But I love day dreams as mentioned above.They are always good.I will be becoming everything which I can and I can't.
I heard someone saying tha 80% of our thoughts are based on past and only 20% about present and future.So if we dedicate more to future it can bring a difference.So day dreams is not that bad ,but every one is busy and no time at all.
And I really felt happy when some of my day dreams came true and then realised with disappointment that they are not dreams any more.
Longing for something gives you an expectation of happiness which is an evergreen emotion.But longing and getting gives you only a momentary happiness,may be "Theory of sour grapes".But I feel its true.
When I am looking forward to a Holiday...I enjoy the day before the holiday the most....it is the expecation of happiness...and that will be a day of dreams before that holiday...

ROSE
Rose.......You remember the first time when we met?no way,
right?
For me..you are in the first page of the album of my memories..I made you sit with me in my childhood days taking you away from your mother.she tried to resist with her thorns ,but my desire to be with you overcame that resistance.But you were happy to be with me,I remember.I enjoyed your fragrance,may be you were sharing your happiness with me.
I have seen you on cool mornings with dew drops all over your body.You were shivering in that cool atmosphere.I wanted to wipe away those dew and i didn't do it for the fear of shedding your petals.
Also I have seen you struggling under hot sun and I couldn't do anything but sympathize with you.
I thought I was the only person who got attracted to you and never believed you have any attribute that can cause universal attractiveness for the reason which i still dont know.May be I was a little possessive about you.
I got attracted to you not because of your red colour or smell ,but because of some other unique feature which i am trying to find out ..and will let you know it when I find it...
so my rose...Always be there in the Garden to make my days beautiful....

S M S
"True love comes quietly, without banners or flashing lights. If you hear bells, get your ears checked. "
Vinay was very surprised to hear this.you may wonder why should he?
I can surely tell you that your imaginations about my question above will definitely be wrong.
Vinay was actually not surprised by its content,but the voice that uttered that words.He was actually on a bus when hearing this on a working day for schools at 4 pm which is the time for all students for their way back to home.
He suddenly looked back and could see a group of students whose totalled age will not exceed the age of Erich Segal when he said the above words about love.
May be Fifth or Sixth standard students .One of them was reading an SMS he received from someone.
.................................................................................................................................................................
Such is the penetration of mobiles across ages,financial status,gender,locations etc.
Short Message Services have much popularity among the students.
On all special occasions SMSes are becoming an Integral part.
Even before the arrival of mobile phones,facility for speaking to a distant person was available and SMS was the new thing came with the advent of mobile phones.
...............................................................................................................................................................................
Vinay couldnt resist lauughing seeing that..He wondered whether his ears needs a check because of what he heard from a little kid.Some time after he lost the attention given to them but not the quote..
That has actually simulated memories about his Would be.Those days together in Icecream parlours and Parks.He was quick to agree to the quote as she also came quitely to his life.
But as she arrived his silent life has taken a U-turn.After that he could understand the world of celebrations.Her presence was a fuel for him to travel any distance ,both literally and virtually.
Then he could feel his mobile vibrating and took out the phone and it was an SMS from his friend Aravind..
and it read.
."Love is an emotion experienced by the many and enjoyed by the few"
What a timely SMS?..vinay felt it lucky that he got the opportunity to experience and enjoy love.
He remebered that he proposed her before going for a summer vacation.It was very difficult for him to get parted from her even it was for 2 months.She didn't tell anything and walked away.After some time his phone vibrated and it was an SMS from her...
"I think we dream so we don't have to be apart so long. If we're in each others dreams, we can be together all the time."
She quitely walked away when he proposed and more coincidentially send a message when his phone was in the silent mode....That day..she walked quitely into his life ...
Vinay doesn't know the number of days he met her at that park.But he met her at that park almost every evening...He wrote about their meetings in a book with a heading EVENING PARK..He doesn't know whether there was a logic for others in that name...but he certainly had a logic of love in that name...
They are going to get married next month and there is no dearth of SMSes to and fro even now.
Vinay was awake from his thought by a double bell..He realised,he has to get down at the next stop and he got up.
Mobile was vibrating again and it was an SMS again from MYTODAY this time..(he has subsribed to it for free qotes)
and it was another timely one...
"Each time that one loves is the only time one has ever loved. Difference of object does not alter singleness of passion. It merely intensifies it. We can have but one great experience at best, and the secret of life is to reproduce that experience as often as possible"

Who is the father of Invention?
In miss kerala 2008 it was asked as a common question,"If necessity is the mother of invention who is the father?"
Winner sreethulasi wrote it as Intelligence.
From my thinking I got the answer as Innovation.World has reached a saturation point and here on we need innovation above intelligence to have more inventions.
Necessity will always be there for new and new things which make life more comfortable.
In the past, Ideas were open that you were supposed to have only the intelligence to implement them.
But now that most of the ideas are implemented ,you need to be innovative to improvise the existing ideas to create more Comfort.
For example,a TV set ,when it was first implemented idea was to transmit and receive some picture information and implemented it without any innovations.But now a lot of innovations are coming into play like Flat screen TVs,Digital transmission,Video on demand etc.
so "NECESSITY AND INNOVATION GIVES BIRTH TO COMFORT"

Mimicry and Megaserials..
These are two art forms that have got more audience in kerala now.
Mimicry makes people laugh and mega serials make people shed tears.
Performing artists in two are respectively men and women.
The last point is something most people would not be thinking about.
But it can trigger a wider thought about the abilities of two genders to influence human minds.
Men are able to keep others happy which is very tough to do,while women are making others weep in front of TV sets.
Men can make a disappointed mind delightful ,while women do it vice versa..
In comedy field,women participation is too weak to be neglected.
There is no parallel to charlie chaplin internationally or to Jagathy sreekumar locally,but we can find parallels in other fields.
Is that hormone missing in women?They are only able to enjoy jokes and they can't tell it.

Something Developing here....
Some of you might have seen this somewhere.I saw this in a community posted by some one.I liked this so much that I couldnt stop sharing with you.
"The Ant and the Grasshopper
OLD VERSION
The Ant works hard in the withering heat all summer building its house and laying up supplies for the winter.
The Grasshopper thinks the Ant is a fool and laughs & dances & plays the summer away Come winter, the Ant is warm and well fed.
The Grasshopper has no food or shelter so he dies out in the cold.
MODERN VERSION
The Ant works hard in the withering heat all summer building its house and laying up supplies for the winter.The Grasshopper thinks the Ant 's a fool and laughs & dances & plays the summer away.Come winter, the shivering Grasshopper calls a press conference and demands to know why the Ant should be allowed to be warm and well fed while others are cold and starving.NDTV, BBC, CNN show up to provide pictures of the shivering Grasshopper next to a video of the Ant in his comfortable home with a table filled with food.The World is stunned by the sharp contrast. How can this be that this poor Grasshopper is allowed to suffer so?
Arundhati Roy stages a demonstration in front of the Ant ' s house .
Medha Patkar and Tan Shyamoli go on a fast along with other Grasshoppers demanding that Grasshoppers be relocated to warmer climates during winter.Amnesty International and Ban-ki-Moon criticize the Indian Government for not upholding the fundamental rights of the Grasshopper.The Internet is flooded with online petitions seeking support to theGrasshopper (many promising Heaven and Everlasting Peace for prompt support as against the wrath of God for non-compliance) .Opposition MPs stage a walkout. Left parties call for "Bharat Bandh" inWest Bengal and Kerala demanding a Judicial Enquiry.
CPM in Kerala immediately passes a law preventing Ants from working hard in the heat so as to bring about equality of poverty among Ants and Grasshoppers..Lalu Prasad allocates one free coach to Grasshoppers on all IndianRailway Trains, aptly named as the 'Grasshopper Rath'.
Finally, the Judicial Committee drafts the ' Prevention of TerrorismAgainst Grasshoppers Act ' [POTAGA], with effect from the beginning ofthe winter.Arjun Singh makes 'Special Reservation' for Grasshoppers in EducationalInstitutions & in Government Services.The Ant fined for failing to comply with POTAGA and having nothing left to pay his retroactive taxes; its home is confiscated by the Government and handed over to the Grasshopper in a ceremony covered by NDTV.Arundhati Roy calls it ' A Triumph of Justice ' .Lalu calls it 'Socialistic Justice'.CPM calls it the 'Revolutionary Resurgence of the Downtrodden'Ban ki moon invites the Grasshopper to address the UN General Assembly.
NEW VERSION
Many years later The Ant has since migrated to the US and set up a multi-billion dollarcompany in Silicon Valley.100s of Grasshoppers still die of starvation, despite reservation,somewhere in India....Because of losing lot of hard working Ants and feeding theGrasshoppers,India is still a developing country!!!

Fate of Minorities....???
Shabana Aasmi said
"Me as a muslim found it very hard to buy a flat in Mumbai."
Bal thackaray said
"If Shah rukh claims to be from Delhi,why is he coming to Maharashtra always?"
Whatever the contexts be,these are two statements in recent times that will no longer be enjoyed by the minorities in our secular country.
Two threats are hidden behind these statements,that of communalism and parochialism.Both are detrimental to the Interests of a secular and egalitarian state.
The fact that even eminent personaities are feeling the heat of all these is disheartening to know.
Also the recent events in J@K and orissa throws light to the fact that there are concerted efforts going on to polarise our country on communal lines.
Parochialism is something which is unique to maharashtra it seems.The major party there,Shiv sena,will even look beyond the coalition whip to vote for the president candidate from maharashtra,Prathibha Patil.
If this trend spread to other states also,then the religious and regional minorities will be under threat for sure.

INTERNET...nothing can be made something???
Days are going fast now.Internet can be such a good tool for time passing that I am not even able to read the newspapers.Last month I was not involved in Internet that much and it all happened when I got into the chatroom of Kerala community.That was on september 1.I got so many friends there and you never know how fast the time is going.Some very interesting topics,posts and people are there.Now I am in touch with malayalis all around the world.They are telling their experiences of celebrating onam there.About their experiences of celebrating onam with their neighbours who hails from different countries.Surely Internet has made this world a Global village.
somebody has told before "you feel you are not alone, only when you are alone".I think he said that about reading.But it is equally applicable to Internet also.Internet is such a sophisticated medium of communication that a group can be formed by people sitting in different countries.Quite literally,world is at our fingertips now.
But one thing about chatting is that,we are speaking without emotions.There is always a possibility of being taken out of context in Instant message chatting.simileys can be of good help but still its a possibility.
Fake profiles are another area of concern and its better not too involved in online relationships.You can give and take informations outside of closer circle of personal data.Even with that restriction online relationships can be fruitful.
People like me are not utilising the possibilities and seing it as a medium of chatting only.We should explore the infinite possibilities and put them to use and surely there is a lack of awareness among us about how to use it productively.

My Teachers..
Starting from LKG I have a lot of teachers to remember for the rest of my life.I always feel proud If a teacher knows me and even speaking with them.During each phase of my study,I thought teachers at that level are the supreme people in the world and rightly so.
From LKG to 4th ...among the teachers the one I remember most is Anil sir..I remember we all loved him very much.One funny incident I remember is,one day he was asking questions in the class.When I knew the answer of the question I looked at him.So many questions were asked and I knew the answers and I looked at him always.I was desperate that he didnt ask me any question.Then he asked another question,I was not having any clue about it.My heartbeat start rising.What should I do?At last I decided to look at him,because he didnt ask when I looked at him many times.He was searching and searching for one to ask that question.I was looking at him with a 200 pulses/sec heart beat.At last his eyes stopped at my face.." yes,vipin..whats it?".I stood up with lot of questions in my mind and surely not with the answer to the present question.When my mind came back to the classroom there was a long queue of stand ups and sir had started giving the 'medals'(bronze linings).
When we were in the third class Anil sir got a better job and farewell party was there.When somebody from our class was told that he was going to get more money..she stood up and told him "sir I will give you 100 rupees..pls dont go".That shows the depth upto which we loved him for it was not her feeling,it was ours.
From 5th to 10th,the teacher I remember is Indira Teacher.She was also our neighbour,so I was a 'nottapulli' for her.She was our mathematics teacher from 8th to 10th.Actually I have a different name used by relatives and neighbours.She used to call me by that name and my friends wondered whom she is referring to.She was a good and vibrant teacher and developed in us an interest for maths and looked beyond problem solving.
In +1 and +2,there is no special teacher to mention.All were equal.Santhosh sir from maths was excellent.He was extra ordinary in teaching and also in other activities.Lathika teacher for computer science used to encourage me a lot.Saju sir for physics had good knowledge and teaching skills.He used to take half day leaves when there was a oneday match in which India is playing.But he finished all his portions on time .
During the same period of +2,I went for entrance coaching in BRILLIANT Pala.Although didnt teach us,Dennis sir-our class teacher there-was very good in encouraging us.He always told me to get a rank below 100.Unfortunately,I couldnt fulfill his wish and got 470.I will never forget BRILLIANT and the teachers there because i am sure I wouldnot have got even 5000,if i didnt join there.
During my Btech period,the first teacher to mention my name was C.D.Anilkumar sir.He called me Mr.K ottayam.He is a good teacher and is very interactive with all the students.He knows a bit of horoscopy also.
Then muneera miss.She gave me some special attention.She told me I could become the topper in the class,although I never believed so.But she showed the intend to atleast tell like that,may be borne out of some misunderstanding.But that encouraged me to atleast get a Full pass in all the subjects.Ironically,I got a lab supply in the subject she was teaching out of over confidence.
Then vrinda madam.She loved our batch.She was one of the best teachers in our department.Only teacher who organized her lectures to such a perfection so as to complete all the four modules.I respect her.She gave all of us a gift to remember for ever,not because of its cost but because of its value and sincerity behind it.
Premanand sir is an ever smiling teacher.He takes class from our level.He knows every student very well and what each person is understanding from his class.He used to make class lively by telling instantaneous wits and cheered up sleeeping guys and gals.When only 4 of us chosen an elective,he gave us the move ahead although he was not familiar in that subject.Then he used to sit together with us and learn with us and he found time for this from his busy works.
Sheeba miss..she started teaching us only in the last year.She has deep knowledge and taught us very clearly, our elective.When everyone including seniors told Analog Mos is a very tough subject,she told us with confidence that she will make it simple and will teach all the 4 modules.Almost all people who chose AMOS got over 70.She was our project guide and she was quite liberal enough to give us good marks,Although we didnt do it very well.
A lot of other teachers are there which may take another 100 posts to mention.All influenced me one way or other and encouraged me when I felt depressed to move ahead.Remembering all of them and wishing each of them a very special HAPPY TEACHER'S DAY....special because I have completed my school and college studies and hopefully start working this year...
From LKG to 4th ...among the teachers the one I remember most is Anil sir..I remember we all loved him very much.One funny incident I remember is,one day he was asking questions in the class.When I knew the answer of the question I looked at him.So many questions were asked and I knew the answers and I looked at him always.I was desperate that he didnt ask me any question.Then he asked another question,I was not having any clue about it.My heartbeat start rising.What should I do?At last I decided to look at him,because he didnt ask when I looked at him many times.He was searching and searching for one to ask that question.I was looking at him with a 200 pulses/sec heart beat.At last his eyes stopped at my face.." yes,vipin..whats it?".I stood up with lot of questions in my mind and surely not with the answer to the present question.When my mind came back to the classroom there was a long queue of stand ups and sir had started giving the 'medals'(bronze linings).
When we were in the third class Anil sir got a better job and farewell party was there.When somebody from our class was told that he was going to get more money..she stood up and told him "sir I will give you 100 rupees..pls dont go".That shows the depth upto which we loved him for it was not her feeling,it was ours.
From 5th to 10th,the teacher I remember is Indira Teacher.She was also our neighbour,so I was a 'nottapulli' for her.She was our mathematics teacher from 8th to 10th.Actually I have a different name used by relatives and neighbours.She used to call me by that name and my friends wondered whom she is referring to.She was a good and vibrant teacher and developed in us an interest for maths and looked beyond problem solving.
In +1 and +2,there is no special teacher to mention.All were equal.Santhosh sir from maths was excellent.He was extra ordinary in teaching and also in other activities.Lathika teacher for computer science used to encourage me a lot.Saju sir for physics had good knowledge and teaching skills.He used to take half day leaves when there was a oneday match in which India is playing.But he finished all his portions on time .
During the same period of +2,I went for entrance coaching in BRILLIANT Pala.Although didnt teach us,Dennis sir-our class teacher there-was very good in encouraging us.He always told me to get a rank below 100.Unfortunately,I couldnt fulfill his wish and got 470.I will never forget BRILLIANT and the teachers there because i am sure I wouldnot have got even 5000,if i didnt join there.
During my Btech period,the first teacher to mention my name was C.D.Anilkumar sir.He called me Mr.K ottayam.He is a good teacher and is very interactive with all the students.He knows a bit of horoscopy also.
Then muneera miss.She gave me some special attention.She told me I could become the topper in the class,although I never believed so.But she showed the intend to atleast tell like that,may be borne out of some misunderstanding.But that encouraged me to atleast get a Full pass in all the subjects.Ironically,I got a lab supply in the subject she was teaching out of over confidence.
Then vrinda madam.She loved our batch.She was one of the best teachers in our department.Only teacher who organized her lectures to such a perfection so as to complete all the four modules.I respect her.She gave all of us a gift to remember for ever,not because of its cost but because of its value and sincerity behind it.
Premanand sir is an ever smiling teacher.He takes class from our level.He knows every student very well and what each person is understanding from his class.He used to make class lively by telling instantaneous wits and cheered up sleeeping guys and gals.When only 4 of us chosen an elective,he gave us the move ahead although he was not familiar in that subject.Then he used to sit together with us and learn with us and he found time for this from his busy works.

അത്തം പത്തിനു പൊന്നോണം
നാളെ സെപ്റ്റംബര് രണ്ടാണു.മലയാളികള്ക്ക് ഓണം ആകോഷങ്ങള് തുടങ്ങുന്ന ദിവസം എന്ന് തന്നെ പറയാം.അതെ നാളെയാണ് അത്തം.അത്തം പത്തിനു പൊന്നോണം വന്നെത്തും.
അത്തം എന്ന് പറയുമ്പോള് തന്നെ മനസിലേക്ക് എത്തുന്നത് പൂക്കലാനൂ.അതത്തിന്റെ അന്ന് പൂവിട്ടു തുടങ്ങും മുറ്റത്തു.കഴിഞ്ഞ നാല് വര്ഷമായി അങ്ങനെയുള്ള പതിവുകള് ഒന്നും ഇല്ലായിരുന്നു.ഈ വര്ഷം അതൊക്കെ ചെയാന് നല്ല സമയം ഉണ്ട്.
ഒന്നാം ദിവസം ഒരു വട്ടം പൂവിടും രണ്ടാം ദിവസം അത് രണ്ടു വട്ടങ്ങള് ആവും അങ്ങനെ അങ്ങനെ ദിവസവും ഓരോ വട്ടങ്ങള്കൂടി കൂടി വരും.തിരുവോനതിന്ടെ അന്ന് വിപുലമായ ഒരു പൂക്കളവും ഇടും.അത് വരെ സ്വന്തം വീടുകളില് ഇട്ട് വന്നിരുന്ന ഞങ്ങളെല്ലാം അന്ന് ഒരുമിച്ചു പൂവ് ശേഖരിച്ചു അന്ന് ഒരു പൂക്കളമാണ് ഇടുക.
ചാണകം മെഴുകിയാണ് ഇടന്ടതെന്കിലും ഞങ്ങള് അത് ചെയാറില്ല.മണ്ണ് കുഴച്ച് മുറ്റത്തു മെഴുകും.നടുക്ക് മണ്ണ് കൊണ്ടു തൃക്കാക്കരയപ്പനെ പ്രതിഷ്ടിക്കും.അത് വാമനനെ ആണ് സൂചിപ്പിക്കുന്നത്.
രാവിലെ നേരത്തെ എഴുന്നേറ്റു കുളിച്ചിട്ടു വേണം ഇതൊക്കെ ചെയ്യാന്.അത് കഴിഞ്ഞൂ പൂവ് പറിക്കാന് പോകും ഞങ്ങളെല്ലാം ഒരുമിച്ചു.പക്ഷെ ആറാം ക്ലാസ്സ് കഴിഞ്ഞപ്പോള് മുതല് അങ്ങനെ പൂ പറിക്കാന് പോവുന്നത് നിര്ത്തി.വീടിലും അടുത്തും ഉള്ള പൂവുകള് വച്ചു അഡ്ജസ്റ്റ് ചെയ്യാന് തുടങ്ങി.അപ്പോള് ഓരോ വട്ടവും ഓരോ പൂവ് വേണം .അത് കണ്ടെത്താന് വളരെ budhimutti.ഇലകള് വച്ചൊക്കെ അഡ്ജസ്റ്റ് ചെയ്തിടുണ്ടൂ.ഹ ഹ !!
മുല്ല,തുമ്പ,തുളസി,ചെമ്പരത്തി,ജമന്തി ഇവയൊക്കെ ആണ് ഉപയോഗിച്ചിരുന്നത്.അതൊക്കെ ദൂരെ ദൂരെ പോയി പറിച്ചു കൊണ്ടു വന്നൂ പൂക്കളം ഇടുന്ന അത്ര രസം ആയിരങ്ങള് കൊടുത്തു പൂക്കള് വാങ്ങി ഇട്ടാല് ഒരിക്കലും കിട്ടില്ല.വനിജ്യവല്കരണം അതിന്റെ കരാള ഹസ്തങ്ങള് ഓണം പോലെയുള്ള ഇത്തരം ആഖോശങ്ങളിലും കടത്തുന്നത് വളരെ നിര്ഭാഗ്യകരമാണ്.

F-5 cricket...our version of modern cricket..
In our college,one day evening,infront of 'B-block' of Men's hostel was born the most modern version of cricket,the F-5 cricket.It is a miniature version of today's T-20 cricket.In order to make that possible we reduced not only the number of overs but a lot of other things.
Description
1.Its five overs per side obviously.
2.one person can bowl a maximum of 2 overs and others only one.
3.There is no leg side in this cricket!!!!!
4.no sixes,no running.
mode of run scoring
please look at the figure and know the locations of alphabets.
A.means,if we hit the ball beyond a boundary in the leg side in air you will be out.
B.If you hit the ball staright along the ground you get 4 runs,if you hit six ,you are out.
C.if you hit the ball along the ground to the wall you will get a single and if it hits the wall on the full you are out.
D.if you hit the ball in the direction of bike along the ground and strikes the wall adjacent to the bike you can get 4 runs and if you hit six you are out.
Stars of this form of game at present (stars because nobody other than us play..:))
1.myself....specialist of carrom ball....:)..(veruthe oru aashvasathinu)
2.Anoop M k....tactical bowling...and powerful stroke play...( chumma..avane onnu sugippikkan)
3.Sumeshraj...off spin and legspin with bending of elbow more than that is allowed by ICC..(in short, kai madakki)
4Sreerag M S ....even though pitch is less than 12 yards he has a run up of 22 yards and an 'effective' pace bowler
5.Anoop N....90 degree turning leg spin..very difficult..not for the batsmen but 4 the fielders (to pick the ball from the boundary)
6.Roshan Sam Alex..also a leg spinner...a new comer on observation..if he is playing well he has to be send back away from us...we should not spoil his future
7.Sooraj....noted by his unorthodox way of playing shots...can make the feeling that we are playing some game other than cricket
8.Madhu...also a leg spinner...turns only once in 14 days and when it turns and it is hit away for 4 runs..sorry madhu..I have to write the truth ..
9.Sujeesh...He is an International player..doesnt like playing this form..dont have too much matches under his belt
10.Stallon...he likes bowling bouncers..ie the one which bounces off the pitch to a good 'hieght'.
11.Sibin....he is the opening batsman of the team he playes..he plays like sehwag i e scores boundaries only and doesnt mind hitting singles.
12.vineet(Andu)-Another international player.. captain of our class team....but he is the leading scorer of ducks among us...he is struggling in this form of the game
13.Umesh-a 'technically correct 'batsman...but he doesnt like troubling the scorers..but when he bowls he does trouble them..perhaps the slowest bowler in our class.
14.Bejoy..a powerful hitter and he finds time to play with us from his jobs an NBA player and a coach of women team
15.Gopalan(vineeth)..he is a mendis type bowler..batsman having no clue whatsoever
In that picture above you can see a large number of windows..please dont think that thay have glasses!!!

Change...the Inevitability of time..
Darwin has told us many things about the evolution and existence of human beings.Out of which the one has contemporary significance is his necessary condition for the survival of human beings. He said about the survival of the fittest.i.e Only those people can survive who are fit enough to adapt to the environment.
Deliberately taking him out of context,if we take his statement into consideration in this globalised world,some section-unfortunately a good %-may be asking for some amendments in Darwin's statement.
Change is the Inevitability of time and sometimes it wont happen automatically. If we travel down the history of world,we see that there has always been subject for reforms.Renaissance,abolition of unhealthy practices such as sathi,untouchability,Freedom movement in all colonised parts of the world etc.Through that movements Great leaders emerged.
In this cyber world,we have many leaders and not even .2008% of them are capable enough to bring about any reforms. Today the problem that needs the greatest attention is the rich-poor divide.India is achieving 9% growth every year.But a significant % of our people are living under poverty.
Indian Billionaires are holding 22% of India's GDP in 2008 which was only 0.92% in 1996.This clearly depicts that poor are not getting the fruits of development. Concerned Authorities are brushing aside facts and figures saying that "Only the Fittest will survive."
It is this situation that demands for an amendment in Darwin's statement. I think he has told it many many years back and its high time that we should use his statement to derive principles of governance that can help all people get the fruits of development.
"Revival of weakest" should be our principle of governance in this Globalised 21st century.

RADIO.....why are you like this?
It happened some years back.There was an old radio in the corner of my room.One day accidently found that It is looking at me!!!!.I just confirmed it by looking it again.Yeah,its looking at me.It was day time and there was someone in the room and i choose not to speak to it then.At night,I went to it and asked "do you know me?".It was still staring at me.(pls dont think that I am abnormal.There is proof that I am normal that I didnt speak infront of any person.I write here because I may forget it later.):).
coming back,radio was still staring at me and replied nothing.It gave an expression that it knows me.I decided to make it speak somehow.I decided to buy a battery next day.
Next day I bought a battery and didnt tell anyone about it.At night I took the radio and put the battery in it..[not only battery,but some repair work with external help] yes!!!its speaking.I just started hearing whatever it say and when I wanted to say something I switched it off and told.
We didnt speak in the daytime.I chose to speak in the night without making others know about it.Thus we became good friends atleast for me.
It didnt tell anything which I wanted to know.ie something which someone shares with a true friend.But I shared all with it.It didnt comfort me or support me in my sorrows but I felt I had a more light weighted heart after speaking to it.But it was speaking to me something.its voice was enough for me to forget my sorrows.
On day time,it was looking at me.I just chose not to speak because of 'other people considerations'.
one day when I was looking at it I heard a voice from behind "why are you looking at it,it wont work for you?'
My mother said.I just looked at her with a 'why?' expression.May be knowing that she continued jokingly"its older than[ even ]you".I wished to say loudly "it worked".I didnt tell because I was not sure whether it was working for me.
During my initial days of friendship with it some 'aakrikachavadakkaran came' and they all decided to sell it.But I resisted with such an intensity that made others not to sell it and making them know about my affection to it.I dont know why I resisted like that,may be it has become a part of my routine.
Even after years I use to speak to the radio and hear from it.But still we are not friends ...."It is my friend and I am not its friend"

നിശബ്ദമായ കാലടികള്
ആ രാത്രിയിലും ആ കാലടികള് എന്നെ തേടി വന്നു.അതിന് അന്ന് മുതല് ഞാന് ഒരു പേരിട്ടു.നിശയുടെ നിശബ്ദമായ കാലടികള് .ശബ്ദമില്ലാത്ത ഞാന് എങ്ങനെ അതിനെ തിരിച്ചറിഞ്ഞു എന്നാലോചിച്ചുകൊണ്ട് ഞാന് ഇന്നലെ കിടന്നപ്പോളാണ് അത് ഇന്നലെയും വന്നത്.പക്ഷെ ഇപ്പോള് അതിന് ശബ്ധമുണ്ടായിരിക്കുന്നു.ശബ്ധമില്ലെന്നു ഒരിക്കലും ഞാന് അതിനോട് പരാതി പറഞ്ഞിട്ടില്ല.അല്ലെങ്കില് എന്നെ കേള്പ്പിക്കാന് അല്ല്ലെന്കിലോ അത് ശബ്ധമുണ്ടാകിയത്.എന്നെ തേടിയാണോ അത് വരുന്നതെന്ന് പോലും എനിക്ക് സംശയം ഉണ്ടെന്കിലും ഞാന് എന്നെ ആണെന്ന് വിശ്വസിക്കുന്നു.അല്ലെങ്കില് എന്റെ ഏകാന്ത ജീവിതം എന്നെ അതിന് പ്രേരിപ്പിച്ചു.എന്നെ അല്ല തേടി വരുന്നതു എന്ന് മനസിലാക്കാന് വേണ്ടത്ര തെളിവുകള് ഉണ്ടായിട്ടും ഞാന് അത് വിശ്വസിച്ചില്ല.ഞാന് എന്നും രാത്രി അതിനെ കാത്തിരിന്നു,അത് എന്നെ പ്രതീക്ഷിച്ചാണോ എന്ന് പോലും അറിയാതെ.ചില രാത്രികള് വരാതിരുന്നു എന്നെ വിഷമിപ്പിച്ചൂ .എന്റെ സങ്കടം അവ അറിഞ്ഞോ ആവോ?അറിയില്ല,അല്ലെങ്കില് ഞാന് അറിയിക്കാന് ശ്രമിച്ചില്ല.ആ കാലടികളുടെ ഉടമയെ ഒരു പക്ഷെ ഞാന് പകലുകളില് കണ്ടിരിക്കാം.പക്ഷെ കണ്ടില്ലെന്നു നടിക്കാനാണ് എന്റെ മനസാക്ഷി എന്നോട് പറഞ്ഞതു.അല്ലെങ്കില് അവള് തന്നെയാണൊ എന്നാ എന്റെ സംശയം ആവും.എന്തായാലും ആ കാലടികളെ ഞാന് സ്നേഹിച്ചിരുന്നു.പക്ഷെ അതിന്റെ ഉടമ ആരെന്നു സംശയിക്കുകയും ചെയ്തിരുന്നു.
അല്ലെങ്കില് അവയ്ക്ക് എന്തെങ്കിലും ശബ്ദം ഉണ്ടാക്കാമായിരുന്നു.പക്ഷെ എന്റെ അടുത്ത് വരുമ്പോള് അവയ്ക്ക് എന്നും മൌനമായിരുന്നു.ഏത് എന്റെ മനസ്സിലെ സംശയം വര്ധിപിചതെ ഉള്ളൂ.ഇന്നും എന്നും വന്നില്ലെന്കിലും അവ എന്നെ തേടി വരുന്നുണ്ടെന്ന് വിശ്വസിക്കുന്നു,എന്നെയാണോ തേടി വരുന്നതെന്ന സംശയത്തോടെ തന്നെ.ഞാന് ഈ പോസ്റ്റ് എഴുതി തീരാറായ ഈ അവസരത്തില് ഞാന് ഇട്ട playlistiലെ അവസാന ഗാനത്തിന്റെ
ഈരടികള് ഒഴുകിയെത്തുന്നു....എന്റെ മനസ്സു Windows media പ്ലെയര് മനസിലാക്കിയോ ആവോ...

പടി കടന്നെത്തുന്ന പദനിസ്വനം "

Benefits of playing as a team...
Indian cricket has improved a lot over the last three years.
Before that Indian cricket was all about Sachin Tendulkar.
Of course,he is Great.He is the most famous Indian Internationally.But remembering all these and considering the fact that cricket is a team Game,should this much individual attention needed?
Every one knows that an Individual cannot win a game for his team himself.
India is considering sachin as a god and expecting too much from him.
This will add pressure on him and demoralise other players.
This was the reason why India was failing when sachin got out early.
But with the arrival of players like dhoni,team play got the deserved attention and has improved to such an extend that we won the twenty-20 world cup.
With all respect for Tendulkar I should say that he was playing for records,not only him.
When he reached 90 he was always going slowly despite team's need.
Comparing India and Australia for two batsmen
Indian-100,5,7,8,9,2,2,100,4,9...
he cements his place with those two hundreds and team looses on all other occasions.
Australian-67,75,89,64,43,4,5.
its full stop for him after that 4 and 5 and a good player comes in and they are under so much pressure to perform.
Thats why sachin holds many records,and Australians not.
But with the arrival of DHONI as captain,there has been change in the right direction.
Old stalwarts have been thrown away .
One thing to be noted that there is not much centuries now,but the team is winning.Even sachin is not scoring centuries but contributing.
As Dhoni said.."Its not the centuries that are needed,but an Innings that can make a difference."
Indian cricket TEAM is safe under his head.

കയ്യെത്തും ദൂരെ ഒരു കുട്ടിക്കാലം
കുട്ടിക്കാലത്തെ കുറിച്ചു ഓര്ക്കുമ്പോള് ഒരുപാടു മധുര സ്മരണകള് മനസ്സിലേക്ക് ഓടിയെത്തുന്നു.അതില് പ്രധാനം ഞങ്ങളുടെ കുട്ടിയും കോലും കളിയും,ക്രിക്കറ്റ് എന്നിവ ആണ്. ക്രിക്കറ്റ് ചെറുപ്പത്തില് ഞാന് ഒറ്റക്കാണ് കളിച്ചിരുന്നത്.അത് ഒരു റബ്ബര് ബോളും ഒരു മടല് ബാറ്റ് എന്നിവ കൊണ്ടായിരുന്നു.ഞാന് ഒരു ബൌളിംഗ് മെഷീന് ആയിരുന്നു ഉപയോഗിച്ചിരുന്നത്.എന്ന് വെച്ചാല് ഞാന് ബോള് നേരെ ഭിത്തിക്ക് എറിയും അത് തിരിച്ചു വരും എന്നിട്ട് ഞാന് അടിച്ച് അപ്രത്ത് ഇടും.ലെഗ് സൈഡ് ആന്ഡ് ഓഫ് സൈഡ് മാത്രമാണ് റണ്സ് ഉണ്ടാവുക.ഞാന് ഒരു വെള്ള ഷൂസ് ഒക്കെ ഇട്ടു പാന്റ്സ് ആന്ഡ് ടി-ഷര്ട്ട് ഒക്കെ ഇട്ടാണ് ഇറങ്ങുക.എന്നിട്ട് അടിച്ച ബോള് ഞാന് തന്നെ എടുത്തോണ്ട് വരും.ഈശ്വര എത്ര പേരു വട്ടാണെന്ന് വിചാരിച്ചു കാണും.ചുമ്മാതല്ല ഇതിനെ കിറുക്കന്റെ കളിയെന്നു വിളിക്കുന്നത്.അങ്ങനെ അടിച്ച് കൂടിയ റണ്സിന് കണക്കില്ല.ചിലപ്പോള് സച്ചിനെക്കയിലും കാണും.ഏതൊക്കെ ചെയുബോള് എനിക്ക് ഒരു എട്ടു വയ്യസ്സ് കാണും.അവിടുത്തെ എന്റെ പ്രകടനം കണ്ടു എന്നെ രണ്ജിയിലേക്ക് വിളിച്ചൂ.അവിടെ മൂന്നു പേരു ഉണ്ടായിരുന്നു.ബാറ്റ് ചെയ്യാനും ബൌള് ചെയ്യാനും കീപ് ചെയ്യാനും ഒരാള് വീതം.സത്യം പറഞ്ഞാല് എന്റെ ഓട്ടം കുറച്ചു കുറഞ്ഞു കിട്ടി.ബൌണ്ടറി നല്ല ചെറുത് ആയിരുന്നത് കൊണ്ടു സിക്ഷ് ആന്ഡ് ഫോര് അടിക്കാന് എളുപ്പമായിരുന്നു.അങ്ങനെ അവിടെ കുറെ കളിച്ചു.ഇതിന്റെ കൂടെ തന്നെ ഇതിന്റെ ഒരു വക ഭേദമായ കുട്ടിയും കോലും ഉണ്ടായിരുന്നു.പക്ഷെ അതിന് ബാറ്റിന്റെ അത്ര വീതിയില്ല ഒരു കംബ് ആണ്.നല്ല കഴിവ് വേണം.
പിന്നെ കുറച്ചു കാലം കഴിഞ്ഞപ്പോള് വലിയ ടീമില് എത്തി.അപ്പോളാണ് മനസിലായത് ഞാന് അടിച്ചിട്ട് boundary വരെ എത്തുന്നില്ല.അവിടെ വലിയ ബൌണ്ടറി ആയിരുന്നു.അങ്ങനെ ഞാന് അവിടുത്തെ ടെസ്റ്റ് ബാറ്റ്സ്മാന് ആയി.ഒരിക്കലും ഔട്ട് ആകില്ല.കാലും കയ്യും തലയും വെച്ചു തടയും.ഉച്ച കഴിഞ്ഞാണ് ടെസ്റ്റ് .അങ്ങനെ ഞാന് ഒരു ദ്രാവിഡ് ആയി.
ഈ ക്രിക്കറ്റ് ആണ് എന്റെ കുട്ടിക്കാലത്ത് പകുതിയില് അധികവും.പിന്നെ ഞാന് ഫോര് കസിന്സില് ഏറ്റവും മൂത്ത ആളായത് കൊണ്ടു ഒരി കുട്ടിയായി തോന്നിയില്ല എനിക്കൊരിക്കലും.ഞാന് ആണ് മൂത്തത് എന്ന ഒരു തോന്നലായിരുന്നു.
പിന്നെ കുട്ടികാലത്ത് എന്തെങ്കിലും മനസിനു വേദനിപ്പിക്കുന്ന സംഭവം അതായതു ആരെങ്കിലും വഴക്ക് പറഞ്ഞാല് ഞാന് അത് വളരെ സാഹിത്യ ഭംഗി കലര്ന്ന രീതിയില് ഒരു ബുക്കില് എഴുത്തും.അതിന്റെ ഭംഗി എത്ര ഭയനകമാനെന്നു ഈയിടെ ഒരെണ്ണംവായിച്ചപ്പോളാണ് മനസിലായത്.അതാണ് ഈ പോസ്റ്റിനുള്ള പ്രേരണയും.
പിന്നെപത്തു വയസ്സോല്ലപോള് രാമന് സീതയുടെ ആരാണെന്നു പോലുമറിയാതെ രാമയണം മുഴുവന് വായിച്ചു തീര്ത്തു.എന്തോ വാശിയുടെ പുറത്തു ചെയ്തതാണ്.ഒരക്ഷരം മനസിലായില്ല എന്നുള്ളത് വാസ്തവം.
പിന്നെ ക്ലാസില് ചെയ്യാത്ത കുറ്റത്തിന് വഴക്ക് പറഞ്ഞപ്പോള് ഞാന് കരഞ്ഞത് ഓര്ക്കുന്നു.അന്നൊക്കെ മധ്യ വേനല് അവധി എന്ന് പറഞ്ഞാല് നല്ല joly.അന്ന് കേബിള് t v ഒന്നും ഇല്ല വെള്ളിയാഴ്ച ചിത്രഗീതം ഉണ്ടായിരുന്നു.മോഹന്ലാലിന്റെയും മമ്മൂട്യ്യുടെയും എത്രപാട്ടുന്ടെന്നു നോക്കും.മോഹന്ലാല് ഇന്റെ ആണ് കൂടതല് എങ്കില് വളരെ സന്തോഷം ആവും.പിന്നെ ഹിസ്റ്ററി പരീക്ഷക്ക് തലേ ദിവസം പഠിക്കാന് ഒരു കുപ്പി വെള്ളവുംയാണ് ഇരിക്കുക.എസ്സയ്സ് പഠിച്ചു പഠിച്ചു വായിലെ വെള്ളം പറ്റും.

Avoidable......but why not?
Is Stagnation an Art?
Art is something which is to be performed.
It needs an artist or groups of artists.
It needs an audience,and most importantly
It needs a stage,which may not be physical.
What the audience gets out of this?...may be some satisfaction in his leisure time.
Lot of books tell about art ,but hardly anything which looks it from an audience perspective.
So lets look it from an audience perspective
1.He may come and watch it with interest
2.He may come and may loose interest after watching it.
3.He may not come,because he may not be interested.
4.He may be compelled to come in,after seeing it,he become interested.
Last group is the rarest,I am sure you will agree only to differ later in this post.By compulsion I mean he may be tempted to come from his important duties.His absence may cost him dearly.But he is tempted to go.But after watching the art he is so fascinated that makes him forget his duties.
Obviously this Idleness is art dependent and also artist dependent.
And artists are the one who does the compulsion.
You may wonder which is this art?
I am sure you need not think too much and it is BANDH and locally known as Hartal in kerala.
Artists are the politicians who are so skilled in this art and are creating the audience who are the ordinary people like us.
we as an audience belong to the fourth group and we are enjoying holidays forgetting about the duties .
Unfortunately this art is being staged so frequently in the stage,ie our country.
It is the only art that has the destructive effect and It needs to be avoided and it is

THAT MISSED LINE.....
I got adjusted to the class.I began seeing the "seniors".I came to know that there was no ragging in the college.I was sad to hear this.I had decided to use ragging to shed my inhibition.But all hopes eroded away.Intentionally or unintentionally I decided to rag seniors.Infact it was unintentionally.All those compressed energy in the strict atmosphere of school life was coming out.seniors started coming to our class.I was called by a group of seniors.They asked my name and I told them.I asked them their name.I was not supposed to ask them back.So they didnt answer even after my repeated questions.At last somebody told"AnnveshichO".Almost instantaneosly i asked 'O' INITIAL AANO?.That was enough for them to start ragging us.That news spread like Wild fire.All of the seniors arrived our class and their leader delivered an angry speech,luckily for me,not mentioning my name.I just sat in my seat hearing all with an expression 'njan onnum arinjille ramanarayana".
Thereafter I was under the close watch of the seniors.Then the "freshers day" came.As expected I was called,but a little earlier than expected.They told me to sing,dance etc.I sluggishly responded with not so convincing excuses.At last I agreed to sing the national anthem holding the mike and in attention.No human with two hands can do it.After seeing my struggle they removed the restrictions.I started singing.Actually I wanted to finish it somehow.In that process I missed a line.That was enough for them for the revenge.
Next day onwards,seniors of all batch started recognising me with the words "The boy who missed THAT LINE'"

First attraction of my college life
I was in the train travelling back to kottayam.Its not for the first time that I am travelling from thrissur to kottayam.But this one is special. I am alone.Train is crowded.I was always alone in the crowd.I am sitting at the door.These are all usual things.But what makes it special?This is special because I am coming back completing my 4 years of B-tech.At the door there was strong breeze."its going to rain"I thought.It was the monsoon month of july.There was not any rain that day.Then why the breeze came?May be to wipe my tears.That answer actually disheartened me.I dont like others knowing about my bitter emotions,even if it is a liveless breeze.May be a bit selfish,but I wish to enjoy it myself.Now its past Ernakulam and its single line and its stopped for the passing of another train.That was a sudden halt,an unexpected one.My thoughts went back in the opposite direction to thrissur.i.e it continued moving in the opposite direction, may be the law of inertia is not the same as physical things.
Me at thrissur,though not physically.I am now that timid plus two student who is coming there for the first time .Into the college through the main gate at 7.45am.Then I saw it...the first thing attraction of my college life ...and here it is..
This is the thing which catches our attention the moment we enter the college..and has created a feeling in my heart which is not expressible by the questions why? and how?
Next will be a series of posts about my college life...as I miss it a lot these days..
What was your first attraction at the college?

INDEPENDENCE DAY..
Its our 61st independence day.Olympic gold is making us proud in this independence day celebrations.But this only a single shade of hope amid a lot of disasters.Currently the one which is of most concern is the problem in the Jammu-Kashmir.Vote-Bank politics has created this problem,that everyone know.Even during the most horrible terrorist attack there has been no communal divide in Jammu-Kashmir.But the politicians have beeen able to create it with in a single week.
So in this Independence day,we have to say the greatest problem confronting is none other than DEMOCRACY which is creating this politicians.We have seen its lowest levels during the confidence motion in lok sabha.
We have been seeing a lot of strikes in these days of independent India.But the purpose of the strikes is the cause of concern.sometimes even with no purpose.Gujjar community is trying to get the SC status.How can such a community which is forward enough to protest like that claim to be backward?Resevations started in 1950's and it makes little sense by saying that all castes are not uplifted even after 58 years of reservation.The truth is that people who have got the benefits once keeps on getting reservations and the deserved economically backward are left out.
So politicians ,if you can't stop raising your voice and calling strikes then do it for this people
DOWN THE MEMORY LANE.....
when I was in the third standard,we were having a small scale cleaning session.All students were outside cleaning the courtyard.Teacher was not there.We started throwing everything that we saw over there out of the compound.That included plastic carriers,stones etc.Somebody didnt get the required elevation and a stone struck on my face right beside my eye and the blood started flowing down.It was not very painful though.Boys and Girls started crying seeing it and teacher came and took me for washing.I had seen movies then with heroes after a fight going like that and impressing heroines.Then I walked stylishly to the tap looking all the girls thinking that they will be impressed.
After cleaning,teacher took me to the hospital in the school jeep even though it was not much serious.Nurses dressed it and then gave me some toffees.I thankfully remembered the person who threw the stone.But the happiness did not last long.I saw the nurse taking a syringe and filling it with something.I smelled the danger and jumped out of the bed and ran away.My teacher was outside this room and she couldnt understand what was happening.I ran past her aiming our jeep and reached where it was parked.By then the driver came there upon the instruction from the teacher and he chased me for one round trip around the jeep and I got into the jeep somehow.I succeeded that day in avoiding the Injection.By the time we arrived back at the school my mother was there to take me home because it was the last period of the day.Teacher told her to take the injection within one or two days describing all the events.
So I couldn't escape from the injection anyway.

A Simple Fact about life
GOOD DAYS WILL PROVIDE YOU JOY AND IS EASILY FORGOT
BAD DAYS WILL GIVE YOU EXPERIENCE
BAD DAYS WILL GIVE YOU EXPERIENCE
ABHINAV.......
Abhinav wins the gold medal for India in Beijing.India wins an olympic gold medal after 28 years.India got gold medal in hockey last time.Ironically this is the first time Indian hockey team is not in the Olympics.This is the first time India is winning gold medal in an Individual item.His achievement will defnitely provide inspiration to saina,who moved into the quarter finals of badminton and anoop sreedhar who is in the second round of badminton.After a dull start,Indians have got something which they can be proud of even for the years to come.
As abhinav said..Just Believe in them,,they will deliver
possibly a message to milkha sigh who told there is no hope for even a single medal in BEIJING

These are my foot steps into classical music.I love music very much.I have an intense desire to study classical music.After two days of play and pause I was able to study these swara's in the anupallavi and charanam of the keerthanam 'swaminatha paripalaya'.I by hearted it cleanly now and able to sing it as it is.
Now the vacation is not boring at all.I started enjoying it and I have a time table from tomorrow onwards and it has nothing which disturbs others ,not even an unsolicited missed call.

Touching Lines....
"Pularkala sunthara swapnathil njanoru poombatayayi innu mari
Manilum vinnilum poovilum pullilum swarna chirakumayi pari
neerada shyamala neela nabhasoru charu sarovaramayi
chandranum pookalum thara ganangalum indivarangalayi mari"
This is the lyrics which i like the most which together with the immortal music makes it my all time favourite
ONE WORLD ONE DREAM.
For 17 days world is going to be under one roof.Everybody is listening to the same spot.Asia is going to be under the lime light.China,from scratch,is now occupying a bright spot in the world's map.8 is a lucky number for the Chinese people.This year's Olympics is beginning on 888 at 8:8:8.Opening ceremony is going to be a portrayal of rich Chinese culture and traditions.All roads lead to Beijing.
For me there is another friend coming to my life for 17 days.I had been alone for some days now after the confidence motion in loksabha.My new friend will be the special correspondent for reporting olympics from manorama.He will tell me about his chinese experiences and the people there.He is a friend for me just because he doesn't know me.Just because of my glittering personality anybody who knows me will not accept me as a friend.
Anyway..hats off to the organisers of such a nice event ...
SUPERB COMMENTS
Love him or hate him, he sure hits the nail on the head with this! Bill Gates recently gave a speech at a High School about 11 things they did not and will not learn in school. He talks about how feel-good, politically correct teachings created a generation of kids with no concept of reality and how this concept set them up for failure in the real world.
Rule 1: Life is not fair - get used to it!
Rule 2 : The world won't care about your self-esteem. The world will expect you to accomplish something BEFORE you feel good about yourself.
Rule 3 : You will NOT make $60,000 a year right out of high school. You won't be a vice-president with a car phone until you earn both.
Rule 4 : If you think your teacher is tough, wait till you get a boss.
Rule 5 : Flipping burgers is not beneath your dignity. Your Grandparents had a different word for burger flipping: they called it opportunity.
Rule 6: If you mess up, it's not your parents' fault, so don't whine about your mistakes, learn from them.
Rule 7: Before you were born, your parents weren't as boring as they are now. They got that way from paying your bills, cleaning your clothes and listening to you talk about how cool you thought you were. So before you save the rain forest from the parasites of your parent's generation, try delousing the closet in your own room.
Rule 8: Your school may have done away with winners and losers, but life HAS NOT. In some schools, they have abolished failing grades and they'll give you as MANY TIMES as you want to get the right answer. This doesn't bear the slightest resemblance to ANYTHING in real life.
Rule 9: Life is not divided into semesters. You don't get summers off and very few employers are interested in helping you FIND YOURSELF. Do that on your own time.
Rule 10: Television is NOT real life. In real life people actually have to leave the coffee shop and go to jobs.
Rule 11: Be nice to nerds. Chances are you'll end up working for one

GREAT or GREATEST
This is called Mother's Love!
simple,yet powerful
IF GOD IS GREAT,
MOTHER IS THE GREATEST
Nothing....just a simple puzzle
she is 100% sure that I like her ,that is not 100% right.
I am not 100% sure that she doesn't like me,that is 100% right.
then, who likes whom?
This is a simple puzzle with simple answer..but I pretend to myself that this is a complex one with an even complex answer..may be it will be the inevitability of my age.I feel I am accepting that with both hands .

AUGUST.......Do you remember?
I read about the girl sadakko, some time ago.she wanted to scale the heights.She was practicing to become a world class athlete.sure,she had the potential.Yet what was her fate?One day she fell down.she was infected with blood cancer,at the age of 12.When another AUGUST comes she comes into memory.she was the victim of HIROSHIMA atom bomb blast.she was only 2 at the time of incident.Radiations penetrated into her body and remained there and she became an indirect victim after 10 years.In japan there is a belief that,if you can make 1000 paper goose you can escape from death.Sadakko started making,because she loved life so much.She could make only 644 .
In Japan there is a statue of sadakko holding a golden goose.Below that is written
"This is our cry
This is our prayer
Peace in the World"
In this period of arms race and all ,days like aug 6 and aug 9 should be taken as occasions to remember girls like sadakko.That will provide the much needed inputs to make the draconian rulers hear the cry and prayers of their fellow beings.

Friendship
I am not a person who classify the relationships in my life.I love one and all in the same way.When I am talking to my parents they are my friends.When I am talking to my sister,she is my friend.Of course,with the obvious limits.But it takes some time.If i can talk continously to a person for 10 minutes I can clearly understand him and i will be in a position to believe him or not.If he is good,I will be open to him.So I don't classify relations into parental,acquaintances,friends,best friends etc.If a threshold is crossed,I treat all as same.
During the last four years there have been lot of people crossing the threshold.I feel really lucky about it.But I feel I couldn't cross the threshold of those people.That's my fault I guess.I will try to correct the mistake and make duplex relationships instead of simplex ones as of now.
HAPPY FRIENDSHIPDAY for the simplex friends and for the finger countable duplex ones..........

Importance of attitude
In chemistry we study that two reactants combine to form a product.Time for the reaction varies depending on the reactants.But if we add a catalyst,we can speed up the reaction and can obtain better results.Some catalysts can accelerate and some can decelerate the reaction.By an analogy,reactants for our life are the talents that we have.Our success in life depends on identifying the reactants and choosing the catalyst.In other way,we should identify our talents and should have an attitude to nurture that talents in a proper way.So niether ABILITIES nor ATTITUDES can alone give you success but both together will give you success.Every person is able in his own way.If your abililty is not sharp enough,your attitude needs to be sharper.
EVENING PARK
Yea ,you should come here with a mindset when you are going to a park in a holiday evening.I will always be there in the park for you to share your joy and the grievances.You come here relaxed-and not sure how many can-but all will go away with no tension and disappointments.Life is short and we should enjoy it and here is the platform to achieve that task.
