Not My Cup Of Tea
Dear Nargis,
While persistently defending your ignorance, you have more than analaysed in detail the speakers and their speeches in the " Great Indian Debate " that eventually turned out to be a free for all, where some GIVE and TAKE was un-ceremoniously exhibited, in the full knowledge, that come what may the next election was only months away and making hay while the sun shines, was all gay. Somu lost his patron saints,Sangliana had to face the goons,Manorama knew her days are coming to a close while Lallu's wheels will be still on the rails and the best man in the show was un-doubtedly Amar Singh on whose front door are gathered many a party leader betting to form the next government, while at the back-door are willing patriots waiting to change their political coat. Nargis may not have to labour for better characters and some worst human traits to picturise her next production !

WOMAN HITLER
Dear Rabia,.
That leaves me to wonder that every word is an oxymoron in disguise. May be for a dyslexic person the latent meaning may be obvious as to be fore-warned ! But for normal morons the life has to be lived and experienced. Thinking of expanding your science ? Great effort !

Grand Canyon: Photo Blog
Dear Bliz,
The magnificient pictures you have posted with the most apt foot-note,first kindling the spirit of adventure,slowly moving on to geology and tectonics and finally ending with a welcome note on philosophy. The physical wonder that has captured the imagination of many an informed traveller has gained notoriety for inviting thoughtful interpretation and comments by the vast magnitude of the richness both in colour and size it provides for the spectator. Mother earth baring her bosoms for the children of this world to see the beauty and splendour that the almighty created in a flourish. Good job !

Pseudoscience
Dear Nair,
Sorry for dropping by after a long absence. After a long and vivid discussion,your only objection to Nadi astrology seems to be that it does not conform to conventional scientific theories. The accuracy of future prediction is not authoritatively claimed here, while the the description of the individual and the minute details of his family constituents based on a simple thumb impression is not disputed, though you will term it as a fraud,for it fails to pass the"Turin' s Test".
Putting it differently, the hypothesis of Einstein was verifiable at a future date by the occurrence of a cosmic event while the standard of predictions of the details of an individual, how ever anonymous he may be, has no equivalent template to compare with. If this is your case Mr. Nair, there is no point in splitting the hair as there are so many mysterious happenings in this universe for which, science has not found an effective explanation as of now. Even the expanding universe is a phenomena of recent origin confirmed by Hubble's telescope and the"Bird's drop "could have as well held the fancy for generations to come.

EVOLUTION OF TAMIL
Dear Gopal,
I am much beholden to you for your erudite postulations on the Tamil language. As you have rightly rued, the linguistic fanatics by coining some weird sounding words to eliminate the influence and adoption of words and sounds from other languages have ensured the geographical fencing, with in which this ancient language will be confined. Athiesm has decidedly hit the last nail on the development and usage of Tamil for all purposes connected with arts and devotion though the cause of its origin is purely political. It is sad that in the present day, usage of tamil of the simple variety is hard to come by as the interlopers have made it a fiery political battle cry ! I am a little sceptic about the comments that I had occasion to observe for your blog that, the Kannada script precedes or co-lateral with the age of brahmi or tamil which is not a historical fact. Even the Badami inscription I had chanced to visit last month only, clearly prescribes the date of Poorva Kanada as 7th century A.D. and nothing as claimed by the author.

"YOU ARE AN IDIOT!"- A REALLY TRUE SHORT STORY!
Dear Rajee,
So you have opened up another flank ! The story is highly attractive and credible for three main reasons.
1. Military authenticity in terms of ambience and context.
2. Completely normal waywardness of an up-coming youth when totally infatuated but at the same time un-able to face the reality as percieved by an older generation.
3.Un-controlable urge in the psyche of the nouve rich to experiment with all pleasures in life, un-mindful of societal norms.
As you rightly concluded, this is a place(U.S) where such aberrations are tolerated and no body bothers about the number of affairs ,marriages or divorces and the greater number of children with lesser number of fathers for people of Sanjana's tribe to prosper and proliferate. Finally the story proves Col. Sharma's prescription, that similarity in cultural values goes a long way in anchoring a marriage in permanent moorings. When is your next story coming ?

A miracle and a national shame too
Dear uropinion,
Your blog through which I learn of this tragic incident brings to my mind a vivd vision of the excruciating pain and agony that this gentleman would have undergone during those one and half hours the iron angle was lodged in to his interiors. It is unbearable even to read. With the construction of the golden quadrilaterals,speed ways,fly overs and under-passes if the Govt. thinks it has completed a good job in NCR, it is sadly mistaken. The provision of necessary communication and trauma centres along the high way and faster mode of evacuation is a prime necessity as you permit the vehicles move at faster speeds. Compare this with a recent incident in Chicago.A lady with two kids was woken up at dead of night by a tapping sound on her front door when her working husband was away in another city. She rang up the 911 and with in 3 minutes the control room directed a possee of cops to the spot while continuing to engage her on the cell phone and instructing her to follow certain precautions. The cops arrived, checked up the complete neighbourhood for any stranger and found out that it was the mischief of a stray rabbit that lost its burrough.! In case of accidents the evacuation if found necessary is done by helicopters. In India the emergency No,100 is always engaged and if you happened to connect, the stock reply will be " all are busy with VIP bandobust , no body is presently available and please contact the nearest police station." This hapened to me when as President of residents' welfare association, when I had face the goons who, up-set with the loss in election of their candidate began stoning the window panes in revenge..

Farewell, Chennai. Hello, Mumbai.
Dear Bigmojo,
After creating all the turbulence in Chennai you are heading for Mumbai ! The same sweatiness,saltiness that you might feel will be sordid case in point , So long the congestion is not suffocating intellectually it is a better option. Till you get lost in the V.T crowd the sombre thought of your well preserved identity at Chennai must hold you good for sure. Your up-ward and west ward movement makes little difference to us who are here, for you are always in the east !.Best of luck and a new begining.

Marriages and Deaths
Dear Kamalji,
I was just thinking as to why Kamalji has started practicing a different profession when I happened to see you in that Barat procession in Jodhpur. A friend of mine told me that the Rupee value having come down you are making it up for the loss encountered in export.. Now as you yourself have openly owned the new business,you stand a better chance of being invited for a series of marriages the Indian community is planning in New york after the Obama Election, From here you can also plan to visit China, where they are thinking of faster growth in population to increase their industrial out-put. I am sure they will benefit by hiring you for the many sided talents you possess.

BEWARE
Dear Madhvi,
THE MOUSE AND THE OWL is recommended for a professional entry. One line for every alphabet you have metered the trail and the snake probably helped you cut short the odessey to end where the tittle ended. Great try !
