Volatile INDIA no more on Valiant's

Team India “a talented country as it was said” is no more the Ruler of the game called Cricket. India has crossed bars since 1983 but wasn't named as No.1 of the cricket world because the team is much attracted to Emotions, Hierarchy and Injuries than spirit of the game therefore being volatile. The guy from the football town himself got into the team through strong recommendations, but he ruled the world which gained him the nickname DADA. Not all players from that kind of background is able to withstand the pressure, there are many bad example standing tall against weak minor good examples.



But after the World Cup’07 the things were changing a lot it is said that hierarchy is removed and also minor tournament will be given more importance to find distinctly talented young players. Now the situation is perplexed because of attraction towards the small tournaments; Reason is that Indians are much interested in seeing the combat between cities and states of their own country. These leagues are even raising bars so high that even international players are ready to quit their job for silly First class cricket which pays them much.
When Conflicts and cracks are brought into the Team INDIA through small leagues and languages it is very easy to forget the word UNITY. We Indians had written many masterpieces under the topic Unity in Diversity; Team India is at a different dimension and seeking Diversity in Unity, leading to hiccups and breakups. It is not easy for a team at top position to quit the game without any strong reason or punch.
Team India wasn’t bringing any trophies to home all time but they were able to stay at respectable position when the team was put under the knifes of hierarchy and recommended selections. When the Captain of Team India started to control the board to selection misery is all left in the Team. The most devastating captain had some different thoughts on a particular bowler which made him mad to accept all mistakes of the bowler and even made him to threaten the selection committee with his resignation letter. This remained the predominant reason for the exit of Team India from the Tournament which decides the champion of the game. Still the captain can’t be blamed for everything but for the unwanted injuries of Three start players because of politics and jealous; Things will not remain constant forever. Change is desperate not only on the attitude of the players but also on the positions of the players including the Captain position. I had not used any word which will hurt a particular person, if it had happened then they are coincidence and not intentional.

Puththu kovilum Putho tilesum, as they are built

Its the grand Aadi season here in Tamil Nadu wherever you go you'd be followed by awful noise from no mercy speakers masqueraded as a devotional song. Yes, this is the first post dedicated to it. Hindu is not a religion but it's idealism, a way to unite people, that's perfectly constructed by assuming separate task to every God, no single God worship. Hindus moved from nature worship to idol worship, but that doesn't mean that we don't have nature worship we have created an idol for them and continued to worship them in a different form. Snake is a beautiful reptile, I have made friend with few too... Our ancestor found the natural law, 'every living creature on earth is important for the ecosystem to be balanced'. Maybe to make sure snakes are not killed fearing their venom they made them as God too! Not just idol snakes, they are worshipped as they are at their  conquered (from rats and termite)   nest or  puthu . Puthu...

Acid rain in Chennai

Don't panic it is not literal acid but a metaphorical one. Probably Poes Garden, maybe Gopalapuram I can't imagine any other area in Chennai to be drained. So why is this? every time? we pray for rain and when it comes we are always unprepared, even for moderate showers our roads are flooded. Is it because Chennai is an old city and its infrastructure not enough for information age or is that because of the vote bank politics? By now you'd have guessed what I quoted as 'Acid rain', it is that one created by the broadcasting network. Nowadays every political party is having its own network, you do the math and imagine the amount of 'Angel and Demon' perspective we are exposed to. From every network that is with the ruling party, we are shown the 'Angel face' emergency number, disaster recovery team, ambulance gushing thru flood, evacuation and so on. Other side which clearly outnumbers the ruling party in 4:1 ratio shows us flood, death, dengue, sew...

Shame of Sabarimala : Annadhanam under TDB

Annadhana Prabhuve, Saranam Ayyappa It means "The noble who donates food, Ayyappa save us". The legend is not clear about how or why Lord Ayyappa is called so, coincidentally the third step of the Pathinetu padi stands for Annapoorna (the God of food) by crossing this step Ayyappamar assure that they have followed Ayyappa by donating food to peers and made sure any Ayyappamar coming to Sabarimala for Punya Dharishanam is not hungry. I'm sure this year many Ayyappamar did not fullfil this deed to proudly step on it, they neither received nor gave; they were curbed. Though it was ABASS*   who started it all many sangam took up the responsibility to feed the hungry Ayyappamar, people have crossed the toughest times by taking supplies to impossible mountain peak like Karimala, Azhutha; now with roads easing pain kerela government and travancore devaswom board(tdb) is pulling the rug on Seva Sangams.

Wings of Fire

Though tagged under review I’m going to try and bring the essence of the book, in no means I have the guts to write a review on a book that’s written on/by Dr APJ Adbul Kalam. Unlike regular biographies the book is filled with information and facts on Indian Space research straight from Dr Kalam’s diary, has very limited information on his personal life. From Preface of the book, we can understand Mr Arun Tiwari co-author of this book had brought up this idea to write a book and put it work. The book is organized in seven sections but the core content is put inside 4 sections – Orientation, Creation, Propitiation, and Contemplation. While the rest cover how and why this book formed and what it intends to convey. Dr Kalam being a spiritual person has quoted poems and lines from the Quran throughout the book. Orientation starts with the birth of the legend Avul Pakir Jainulabdeen Abdul Kalam in Rameswaram to Ashiaamma and Jainulabdeen, Dr.Kalam’s father is a humble boat owner a...
