With reality shows being the family entertainment, and the Idea Star Singer…the desi version of the Indian Idol and the American Idol…celebrating its 150th day of the fourth series….there was this debate…who is the kerala Idol…the little masters…like Vishnu and Poornasree…The bold and the talented like Varun, or the little ones talented but cannot even reach till there….Are these reality shows really a boon or bane? Then there are people like Rajesh, working in software firms…going from Kanyakumari to Kashmir on bike….
Also the special guest for the150th day was Pritviraj….the young kerala Ikon, who is a star even in non Malayalam films. And there was this Sreesanth who had made a come back to the international cricket after a 19-month hiatus, and was declared Man of the Match…as his five wicket haul in Sri Lankas first innings was pivotal, and it also marked India’s 100th Test win…I was reminded of Jannath…

Kerala Idol……
With reality shows being the family entertainment, and the Idea Star Singer…the desi version of the Indian Idol and the American Idol…celebrating its 150th day of the fourth series….there was this debate…who is the kerala Idol…the little masters…like Vishnu and Poornasree…The bold and the talented like Varun, or the little ones talented but cannot even reach till there….Are these reality shows really a boon or bane?

Moksha
The 2001 release Moksha about law graduate Vikram Saigal (Arjun Rampal) wanting to start Nyaidarshan, with support from the bewitching smiled Ritika (Manisha Koirala) as he is not happy with his lot at all. She promises that in case she becomes a hinderance and cannot reconcile, she would die....He finds it impossible to find any other like-minded lawyers, his boss and his father (Suresh Oberoi), all consider his idea fantastic, but nobody is there to help him with money, and therefore hatches the plot to rob the bank....On the day of the bank robbery, a lady informs the bank authorities about the burglary
Vikram ends up doing annyai to himself, his better half, his profession, family, his pets being horse and dog, vehicle and others...Ritikas dream comes true.....and both of them are no more...and so is the end of the movie....cinematographi by Ashok Mehta was excellent...
I choose to watch the old ones... Fanna again the third time...dont know why it keeps attracting me... and Moksha....though there were a dozons waiting for me
Ajab Prem Ki Ghazab Kahani - This Ranbir Kapoor - Katrina Kaif movie is expected to be a classic coming from Rajkumar Santoshi the director of Andaaz Apna Apna,Jail - Madhur Bhandarkar movies are always looked forward to, Tum Mile, With Emraan Hashmi and Soha Ali Khan as the lead pair,Saif and Kareenas; Kurbaan with rumours going about that it has one of the longest kisses in Bollywood history, and an erotic thriller adding to the bare-back first look of the film , and Priyadarshans De Dana Dan, with the Hera Pheri team - in lead roles and lot of comedians....I am wondering, if it is the remake of any one malayalam movie or mixture of some..
And there was this 2012 which Saroja kept calling me for....lets see if possible next week....
Eid Mubarak, Swami Saranam, Merry Christmas
It’s the time for fastings and then feastings everywhere…. And all have the chanting of the beads....
As the human mind broadens, its spiritual steps broaden too…The time has already come when a man cannot record a thought without its reaching to all corners of the earth, by merely physical means, we have come into touch with the whole world, so the future religions of the world have to become as universal, as wide….
Blessedness, eternal peace, arising from perfect freedom, is the highest concept, underlying all the ideas, absolutely free existence, not bound by anything, no change, no nature, nothing that can produce a change in him.
Each one projects his own ideal and worships that. This external world is only the world of suggestions. All that we see, we project out of our own minds….The wicked see this world as a perfect hell, and the good as a perfect heaven. Lovers see this world as full of love, and haters as full of hatred; fighters see nothing but strife, and the peaceful nothing but peace…
I am happy to see people who see and understand all as one and the same….Advaita….from Vedanta….
Judaism, Christianity and Islam teach that Abraham was a model of how humans should live their lives displaying courage, faith, sacrifice, obedience, and trust in one supreme God. We believe that the “spirit” of this story is to see Abraham as a role model and to encourage all of us to live our lives with the same courage, faith, and determination to be the best person we can be. The Hindus divided humanity into three 'races': the "Aditya"s or the Hindu Gods , the "Daitya"s and the "Danava"s. The last two were held to be inimical to the Hindu Gods. All three were step-brothers derived from the same father Kashyapa. The mother of the Gods was Aditi, meaning the unlimited one, while the other two were derived from Diti, the limited one and Danu.
The Westerners (and Egyptians) were called Danavas in Sanskrit. The Greeks were known in Latin as Danao. 'O' is normally pronounced as 'v'. (Deo and Dev; Deodhar for Devadharu etc.) There is a Latin proverb "Timeo Danao et donos ferrentes; which means Beware of the gift bearing Greek.
Yayati's wives were transferred to Abram in the Jewish version. The first wife, Sarai or Sarah, carried the name of Brahma's consort Saraswati. The second wife in the Jewish story was also a slave. The story of Isaac is drawn from two Hindu sources. The first is the story of Daksha the son of Brahma who lost his head to the God Shiva and was revivified with a goat's head. Isaac, in Abraham's story was replaced by a ram for sacrifice at the bidding of God. The name Isaac is related to Eesha the Sanskrit word for the divine. The second story related to Isaac is the one of Ikshvaku who wanted to eat fresh meat on his death-bed and ordered his son to go on a hunt. The young man committed a minor infraction in rituals and was deprived of his right of succession. Isaac under similar conditions was persuaded by deception to pass on the mantle to Jacob who was later anointed Israel.
Noah was the Hindu Manu . The story of the Ark was a reproduction of the Hindu story of Matsyavatara or the fish incarnation, during the period of the Satyavrata Manu. The Jews called themselves Semites as descendants of Shem the son of Noah. Shem is perhaps derived from the Sanskrit term Shivam for pure. It is also the quality of another God, Shiva.
Then this diversity, was it just the passage of time, the differences in language and interpretation or something more?
No wonder there is so much to learn from History…
More Sentimental than Fundamental…..
The government approved gamble, as my roommate calls it….These days, I see most logging into http://www.nse-india.com/ first when in office…and then discussions among themselves….Do they realize or not that the Stock market is driven by sentiments too… Is there any way by which sentiments can be influenced or rather created? There are five ways companies can boost prices of their stocks: By announcing a bonus issue, stock-split, preferential issue, qualified institutional placement (QIP), and fund raising through issue of GDRs or ADRs. Is there any more ways??
Though these corporate actions generate a lot of heat, the hype lasts only for a short term. Ultimately, it boils down to the financial track record of the company. Hence, what matters is the company business operations, management credentials and future outlook.
Breaking the stride is the circuit filters, which only postpones the inevitable, by controlling panic especially driven by sentiments, by not allowing the prices to move beyond a limit. It could be market-wide or on individual stocks. It is designed to keep a check on stock market manipulation and protect small investors. As trading is halted, it is difficult to know the real value of a stock. Besides volumes could witness a sudden rise as investors rush to execute their orders and before the anticipated trading halt....
Going forward you may read more of it..as I have been reading the Journal, Capital Market, books like Making money in the wall street, and browsing these sites myself these days....
Nectar In a Sieve By Kamala Markandaya
This book took me to the thoughts of country turning into city, and the sea change in the lifestyle and pattern…..in the last century…
Kamala Markandaya born Kamala Purnaiya in a small town in Mysore in 1924, attended the University of Madras, beginning in 1940, where she studied history, and had settled in England since the age of 25, following her marriage to Bertrand Taylor. Her daughter Kim Oliver survives her. She left for her heavenly abode in 2004, at the age of 80, Sunday May 18 at her home in the outskirts of London. Fame and success came with her first published novel, Nectar In A Sieve (1954), a Book-of-the-Month Club Main Selection and bestseller in the United States.
The book is about generous and gentle, Indian Peasant women Rukumani married when she was 12, who is content in her love and admiration for her husband Nathan, , and their playful children, in her little South Indian Village, though she struggles for survival,….how knowing to read and write makes a difference…..
Growth is a constant wonder-from the time the seed split and the first shoots break out, to the first bloom, growing unconsciously, having very secret of itself, fragile, vanishing….How quickly children grow! They are infants- you look away a minute and in that time they have left their babyhood behind…Then on the wedding day, the girl is bruised by the imminent parting…in a few months time her new home would be the most significant part of her life, among strangers, the rest only a preparation….
Thoughts come of their own accord, although afterwards we can chase them away….
Nature is like a wild animal that you have trained to work for you. So long as you are vigilant and walk warily with thought and care, so long will it give you its aid, but look away for an instant, be heedless or forgetful, and it has you by the throat. The sowing of seed disciplines the body and the sprouting of the seed uplifts the spirit, but there is nothing to equal the rich satisfaction of a gathered harvest, when the grain is set before you…….
People will never learn! What was it we had to learn? To fight against tremendous odds? What was the use? One only lost the little one had. ‘Of what use to fight when the conclusion is known?’
What people will say! One goes from one end of the world to the other to hear the same story, Does it matter what people say? It matters to those about whom it is said?
Others like Kenny, helped, because they have the means, and because they have learnt of your need, but you must cry out if you want help, it is no use whatsoever to suffer in silence. Who will succour the drowning man if he does not clamour for his life? ‘Do not think spiritual grace comes from being in want, or from suffering? What thoughts have you when your belly is empty or your body is sick? Tell me they are nobel ones and I will call you a liar.” Who’s the blame then? Not I or you…
Blame the wind and the rain and the sun and the earth: they cannot refute it, they are the culprits.
To those who live by the land there must always come time of hardship, of fear and of hunger, even as there are years of plenty? This is one of the truths of our existence as those who live by the land know: that sometimes we eat and sometimes we starve. We live by our labours from one harvest to the next, there is no certain telling whether we shall be able to feed ourselves and our children, and if bad times are prolonged we know we must see the weak surrender their lives and this fact, too, is within our experience. In our lives there is no margin for misfortune.
In city, where shall a man turn who has no money? Where can he go? Wide, wide world, but as narrow as the coins in your hand. Like a tethered goat, so far and no farther. Only money can make the rope stretch, only money. Our people may not be ours, we learn even from children, and you have people who have no one like Puli…
Sometimes one loses, sometimes one gains, It evens itself out…..
Finally, it is a novel about the conflicts between a traditional agricultural culture and a burgeoning industrial capitalistic society. The novel touches on several important social phenomena: the importance of traditional cultural practices, people's reluctance to change, and the impact of economic change. There is so much packed into this little novel….I loved it….

Thank you all
Hey, so happy to have a long weekend for myself, really after long, though had earlier leaves for exam, those were too hectic… But now Thanks to the Thanksgiving day, celebrated primarily in the United States and Canada. …Traditionally, it is a time to give thanks for the harvest and express gratitude in general. While perhaps religious in origin, Thanksgiving is now primarily identified as a secular holiday….and am happy to have this one….,
Thanks for my job, thanks to my colleagues, Thanks to my friends, Thanks to my family and relatives, Thanks to my sibling and roommates, Thanks to my readers and critics, Thanks to the sunlight and rain, Thanks to peace and prosperity, Thanks for food and water, Thanks to the almighty, I know that there is a lot more that I am forgetting right now. But, let me just repeat, thank you all…on this Thanksgiving Day..
Thanksgiving or Thanksgiving Day, presently celebrated on the fourth Thursday in November, has been an annual tradition in the United States since 1863. Thanksgiving holiday weekend is one of the busiest travel periods of the year, and normally shopping for Christmas is done now….
On this day, great many of us roast turkey bird to a golden-brown crisp, or prepare it in some other way..The actual number of turkeys eaten on Thanksgiving, often reported to be 46 million —In any case, how many commercially raised turkeys do you think were the result of artificial insemination? The answer seems to be 100 percent. Why? Because Americans particularly love to eat the breast meat of male turkeys. So having yummy turkey in your tummy this Thanksgiving????

Make better decisions….
Our decisions today, will decide our life tomorrow…..It is easy to select between good or bad, but when you have to select in between two good or two bad…your decision really matters….It is all up to us to decide with our head or heart…..Courtesy Fanna…
This is the advice that Zooni receives from her father just as she is about to venture out into the world on her own for the very first time. Little does she know that these very words will shape her life. ..and again the movie ends with the same advice...Happen to see this movie again....
Whatever decision you make, you will at a point ponder on the road not taken.....
Decisions, like any other activity, won’t get better without systematic review. If you don’t know which of your decisions are most important, you won’t be able to prioritize improvements. If you don’t know how decisions are made, you can’t change the process for making them. If you don’t assess the results of your changes, you’re unlikely to achieve better decisions. The way to begin is simply to give decisions the attention they deserve. Without it, any success you achieve in decision making will be largely a matter of luck…..
Your decisions in your life are yours to make, and then you will have no one to blame on….Make better decisions….At times....isnt life all about the decisions that you make....

The Fox
Happen to read this by D. H. Lawrence published in 1923. The movie is also based on this book, Sandy Dennis as Jill Banford, Anne Heywood as Ellen March, and Keir Dullea as Henry Grenfield.
The story is about three protagonists in a triangle of love and hatred, Set in the Berkshire district of England during World War I.
Banford and March live and work together on their meagre farm, surviving hardship only by sheer determination and dedicated labour. Without the help of any male laborers, Nellie March and Jill Banford struggle to maintain a marginal livelihood at the Bailey Farm. A fox has raged through the poultry, and although the women—particularly the more masculine Nellie—have tried to shoot the intruder, he seems always to elude traps or gunshot. Banford is thin and frail, contrasting with her companion, and the one who had actually invested in the farm.
The farm is their world and a place of safety - that is, until a young soldier walks in and upsets the women's delicate status quo. Between Ellen and Jill came Paul... None could have predicted quite the effect his presence would have on their lives...
The Fox ... symbol of the male...Was it destiny? Jill was the first, to allow him to stay with them, considering him to be like her younger brother...And destiny took her life for her kindness...
Monsoon Wedding
Nope, not the movie, nope, not the rains, nope, not the weddings….Then what….
On this rainy day, had the opportunity of attending, the Visitation & first profession of my colleagues Sister, who was becoming Sr. Betsy Thomas FCC, on this children’s day.
It was like, being a saint, being a sister, was like choosing, Lord Jesus, as the soul mate, and the life partner…henceforth it would be the life of obedience, brahmacharayam and poverty…..
Her speech was so charismatic, though her parents were crying, there was strength, and light on her face. …
Though had to attend it at 2, there was heavy rain……So why not mention something about the mansoon and wedding....
Monsoon,
The monsoon, we find to our dismay, is not the best time to visit places, it has a toll on so many things…yet we all love it…..I personally like to get wet in the rain….As said, may be because, nobody will see me crying…..
Monsoons in Kerala are the most enchanting in India. With green pastures at its best we have it longer, Southwest monsoon is the main rainy season in Kerala, as the rains starts by the middle of the Malayalam month Edavam which begins by the end of May or early June with the outset of the southwest monsoon winds. The next few months are periods of torrential rain. Lying on the windward side of the Western Ghats and being the first state to be hit by the monsoon winds, Most of the rivers of Kerala are fed by the monsoons. Nila.. A rich and splendid river that has eventually shrunken into a trickle! Even it overflowed this monsoon!!
And now, also known as the Retreating Monsoon or the Reverse monsoons, we have the northeast monsoon, which hits Kerala during the return of the southwest monsoon winds. These rains as it rains during the Malayalam month of Thulam are in the months of October and November and sometimes lasts till December and is also known as Thulavarsham. Heavy afternoon rains accompanied by thunder and lightening are the main characteristic of the season, which is what we see now…..
Monsoon, ha…Edavam… Thulam….
Wedding:
As a child, when asked, nobody would say that their aim in life is to get married or wedded, yet most people dream..
After the solemnization of marriage, the bride departs with her husband. This is a very sad event for the bride's relatives because traditionally she is supposed to permanently "break-off" her relations with her blood relatives to join her husband's family….Well these days there is a trend towards westernization among, Indian too even in this areas…and at places, it is the groom who breaks off from his relatives…these days….thats …
Hey this year there were too many of them…..most of my friends from GMCS batch got wedded this year, including one couple within the batch, then there is the 5 year old brother and sis from Amlaki, finally tying the knot this month, cousins weddings and engagements….and most happiest event was meeting of my friend after 8 years, who had expressed his desire and accomplished it…wedded to his sweet heart…. This year there are so many weddings, and so many love on air stories breaking out....which I had just ignored thinking to be rumour..in and around...Incredible...
At times, I wonder why Monsoon Wedding, then I realize, sometimes it takes water, to kindle a fire…The Kerala tourism monsoon promotional advertisement..
The wedding I attended, was a wedding a fire that kindled the heart of a tender young girl, having completed her MBBS from a well to do family, to take this step....4 years ago....

Strength of a chain is determined by the weakest link, Talents differ, all is well and wisely put…Mountain and the squirrel had a quarrel.
Sabu my local guardian, Go Getter, would not be there with me to remind: take it as a challenge, only hand full of people are ours and will remain ours….Barbers, postman or others….
Reduce contacts, increase concentration….else others will make fun of you, as GK said….
Laugh and the world laughs with you, cry and you cry alone….water in office, food in room, work….money

I’m sure that there are several nameless faceless, homemakers, housekeepers, paan chewing uneducated (even illiterate, may be) beings out there in this world who do wonderful business without knowing the ABC of “structured business management/ administration”. These are the true heroes among us – the true visionaries, the ones who go about their ordinary daily routine with a zest and zeal that makes them extraordinary. For them, six-sigma is a way of life, total quality management is an inherent survival strategy, and providing end-to-end solutions is a simple necessity to put bread on the table.
And as for my fellow white-collared, cuff-linked, laptop-carrying professional brethren (myself included), well, as they say: ‘Some things, they teach you at Harvard. Some things, you have to learn them yourself’. Truly, there’s a lot of weight behind the saying ‘respect every job that gets dirt under a man’s fingernails’.
How many of us know the names or the background of the providers or our daily livelyhood, our housekeepers and cleaners?
For me, I am still just tiny little blue bird trying to climb up the tree to hang out with the bigger birds.
“Those who can, do. Those who can’t, .......”???? criticise/Teach/write/learn
Learning from the mistake of myself and others, as I cannot live long enough to make them all myself.
Traveling light….Remembering: don’t think what others are doing or saying…..Do your duty, and live the rest to God…Be happy!!!
Strength of a chain is determined by the weakest link, Talents differ, all is well and wisely put…Mountain and the squirrel had a quarrel.
Sabu my local guardian, Go Getter, would not be there with me to remind: take it as a challenge, only hand full of people are ours and will remain ours….Barbers, postman or others….
Reduce contacts, increase concentration….else others will make fun of you, as GK said….
Laugh and the world laughs with you, cry and you cry alone….water in office, food in room, work….money
Leaving behind my childhood, when I set out on my journey into life, I wonder why not did I realized, it was all for himself and God for all….One word story, courtesy: PG
Foucs on where you want to be and not on what you fear…. Dont loose the forest for the tree...Knowledge alone is not enough you must apply it….Bosses at office….
What keeps you up at night??? Never take anything lightly..
Beaware of Brainwashers, Think right, Need: Controllersip; Continuous Emphasis and Continuous improvement.
Things appear, big or small, depending on where we stand and how we look at things. Having shifted to the nineth floor, from the new building, even the big coconut trees appear so small....And indeed, from top, things are really very beautiful...Though a bit difficult to reach there compared to how it was...Also you dont realise the dust and the dirt from the top, and the comments made just from there though from a broader perspective is bound to be wrong...the daily routine has to be faced to be understood correctly...Its a commonly applicable fact...
You are an independent, optimistic, assertive, idealistic person, The weighing machine in Trichy, on my maiden visit...
Add Value, it matters. Surrender is different from Resignation.
Though dialogue, is a means of communication, what I realized, is there is understanding and more communication even in silence……UNDERSTANDING is all that matters……in life…..but that is not business right….Some people who were near were far, some people who were very far, were near….worthy of love…AG.
Do, and complete doing, a variety of things, activities, it will keep you motivated, and on your toe…give sometime for yourself, stay determined and optimistic…Pearl…Maegen
Dream is not what you see when you sleep, it is the passion that don’t let you sleep. It is attitude and not aptitude that will determine our altitude. Keep going, when the going gets tough, the tough gets going…
Read! Read! Read!
He who reads, leads….
Read, study, learn of everything important in your life..
Quitters never win, winners never quit.
Practise makes a man perfect.
Do & Redo, unfortunately or fortunately you cannot undo in life!!!
Last few days, were double the sleepless, restless, nights for me, both in terms of work and test….though there were so many to help…..
But this too has passed away…and waiting with my figures crossed for the things yet to come…
When I thought this would be my last attempt, here they have provided me with two more opportunity.....well it was my aim, my passion since a decade, then why give up?
