On a personal note..

What's my fathers day present? "Up" the Movie, in 3-D!!! What I don't understand with Disney is, why make a cartoon movie with sad theme. Nemo, Toy Story, WALL-E and now Up. Man, I am all chocked up!!!

Naming Stalin as deputy Chief Minister could be a blessing in disguise for Tamil Nadu. It is highly likely that the old crook won’t be around for the next election. Remember what happened when MGR passed away, each one had his/her own party within ADMK and they were lucky to come back as one unit. Stalin knows, that DMK faces a similar future. To come out on top he has to play his cards right. One such issue could be giving a corruption free government for the next 2 years or until we face election. So I would guess in addition, we would get some new roads, action on power cuts, new project for Chennai (I heard that he is already talking to Sheila Dikshit). Let’s see how it goes. But don’t get too cocky; it will be short lived…

திராவிட மக்களின் உயிர் துடிப்பே; எங்கள் துயர் துடைக்க வந்த தலைவர் கருணாநிதிக்கு, உன் உடன்பிறப்பு வரையும் ஓர் அன்பு மடல். 40 வருடங்களாக உனக்கும், உன் கட்சிக்கும் உழைத்த உடன்பிறப்பு, இன்று திக்கற்று வழி தெரியாமல் நிற்கும் சமயத்தில், என் நம்பிக்கையை மீட்டுத்தருவாய் என கண்ணிரை மையாக்கி எழுதும் கடிதம். தலைவா, நேற்று உன் மகன், மகள், அக்காவின் குடும்பத்தினர் அனைவரும் சென்ட்ரல் மினிஸ்ட்ரி மற்றும் துணை முதலைமச்சர் பதவி அடைந்ததை கண்டு மனமாரமகிழ்ச்சி அடைந்தேன். ஆனா தலைவா, இதை பற்றி ஒரு பத்திரிகை ஆசிரியரிடம், "பத்திரிக்கைகாரன் மகன், பத்திரிகை வேலைதான் செய்வான்" என்று சொல்லிட்டீங்க.தலைவா, இது நாம் ராஜாஜியின் குல கல்வி திட்டம் போல் இருக்கே? இதுதான் தப்புன்னு சொல்லி எத்தனை மரத்தை, எத்தனை மக்களை உன் பேர் சொல்லி வெட்டி இருக்கேன், இப்ப திடிர்னு இப்படி சொல்லிடிங்க. சரி தலைவா, உனக்கு என்ன ஒரு பொண்டாட்டியா? 3 இருக்கே!!! அவுங்க இன்ன என்னைமாதிரி நீ போடுற ஒரு ரூபா அரிசில வாழ முடியுமா? பாரின் கார், பளிங்கு விடுன்னு பல செலவு இருக்கு, நீ என்ன பண்ணுவ பாவம். தலைவா, எனக்கும் உன்ன மாதிரி வயசு ஆக...

Central - Nehru/Indira/Rajiv/Rahul State - Karunanidhi/Alzhagiri/Stalin/Kanimolzhi/Maran(B)/Maran(S) Shouldn’t one be proud to see Democracy at work?

India should shut up and let UN take its course on SriLankan situation; then again we have Congress, what else can we expect?

மக்கள் - என்ன தலைவரே கொஞ்ச நாளைக்கு முன்னாடி உண்ணாவிரதம் எல்லாம் இருந்திங்க, இப்ப என்ன ஆச்சு? தலைவர் - தமிழ் மக்களை விட முக்கியமான பிரிச்சனை இப்ப மக்களை தவிக்க வச்சிக்கிட்டு இருக்கு!! மக்கள் - அது என்ன தலைவரே? தலைவர் - என் பசங்க சென்ட்ரல் மினிஸ்ட்ரி சீட்!

All the cheerleaders in IPL were wearing Miniskirt except for Chennai Super Kings. Apparently, Miniskirt is only allowed in Tamil Cinema. I don't blame N. Srinivas for this, because I know Tamil Taliban (PMK) and other such organizations will be in street for screwing Tamil Culture. I remember Anna University passing a law that girls can't wear Jeans, considering that this shouldn't be a surprise at all.

If there was ever a time, when things went from bad to worse that's now for Sri Lanka. What happens now? 1. Election in Tamil Nadu proved that there is not much of a sympathy for Sri Lankan brethren. The worst is just beginning for them. Now that our politicians have found out that there is no vote for Sri Lanakan Tamil support, who cares if they die. 2. Our Cine field; what a joke. Bhartiraja who is nothing but a third rated pimp was out to save them? He got no movie going; his son sucks; what else does he have. Oh, that's right he can always fight for Sri Lanakan Tamil Justice. 3. Our Jaya; You never mess with Amma. Sri Lankan Tamils have just did that. People around Amma, has brain washed her saying that Sri Lanakan Tamil issue will win her votes. Now that it didn't, the Tamils have to feel the wrath of Jaya. 4. Karuna, all he must be thinking now is, "Why the heck did I fast for 6 hours?". 5. Vaiko will be Vaiko. I don't think he will change or make any ch...

I am totally at shock with election results in India. Honestly, I now have serious doubt about BJP's future? It's highly unlikely that Advani will be leading the party next election, given that BJP has got no national leader!!! Words can't explain the pain I feel now. DMK leading in Tamil Nadu? How the heck did that happen? I am happy that the caste based parties lost in Tamil Nadu though, except may be for Thiru Ma. PMK lost all its seat, I say good for the state....

What happens when you win “Booker Prize”, you become a social activist; silly!! If you are an Indian, Booker Prize can arrive either by bashing about the social inequalities in India or by giving a view on how bad things are in India. For Arvind Adiga its White Tiger; the novel is nothing but a cheap road side book, but hey it talks about inequalities, it got to win!!!! For Kiran Desai its insurgency in India’s west, well it has the theme!!! Now, Naiupaul and Salman Rushdie are different, even though they both bash India, I feel they are true at heart. They write because they are at pain to see India crumbling. Of all the writers, Arundhati Roy takes the cake. Now Ms. Arundhati Roy does not like anything Hinduism. For her it’s a joke; right now she is on a trip to Pakistan and selling her ideas such as, RSS infiltration in Indian Army, Social inequalities, and on what she thinks as terrorism. Ms. Roy's hatred towards a Hindu is nothing new, it came from her childhood. Ms. Arundh...

Sri Lankan government is paving its way for a total annihilation. Of course they are helped by out inept Dravidian parties. How well do we use these poor souls to gain power? Jaya until the election day was against anything Tamils do in Sri Lankan, but now she is a savior. I have never seen anyone fasting for 6 hours, “Karunanidhi” if only this bastard has used 10 percent of the time he spent protecting his family and power, Lankan issue would have been solved long time ago. Mahinda Rajapaksa action is nothing but ethnic cleansing. One has to agree that leaders like Hitler and Edi Amen survived mainly through people support, so I would assume that every if not most Sri Lankan support their leader’s action. But my friends, you will never win this war through killing others. Just look where Rwanda, Uganda, and Cambodia are now. China has given a blank check to Sri Lanka. China assumes that by supporting Sri Lanka they can check India's growth. Don't you think this is similar to ...

Gun Control in America is a touchy (read Stupid) issue. In America the right to hold a firearm is protected under the second amendment of its Bill of Rights. While I am a proponent of individual rights, I don’t feel that “Right to bear a firearm” falls under the right’s of an individual. People are buying assault weapons under this senseless law which causes more harm then anything. Shootings in schools such as in Virginia, Texas and not to forget the Columbine massacre are all hushed away as something irrelevant. It looks like every week there is a shooting spree which results in multiple deaths. I was watching 60 minutes yesterday and they were showing a guy selling gun under a Nazi banner? While I appreciate his marketing skills (Basically using a marketing ploy that it’s Black Obama trying to control White (NRA) American) it just shows how stupid it is. Majority of people in America think that if it’s in the Amendment then it has to be right! It’s more like people questioning evolu...

Is Democracy working? It’s definitely not in Asian and South American countries where the ruling elite have successfully hijacked the idea and rule the state by corruption and terror. The west is not better either, in here Democracy is held up by economic prosperity and I do agree that educated masses do play a role. With just under a year of recession, America already organizes itself into major groups with each going after the government for its own benefit. This is exactly what happens in India, doesn’t it? In countries like India, where people have to work with limited resources, they go at it through flawed methods. Each form a group for his or her own liking, may it be the caste, state, language or what ever it is that could be grouped together. If you have your strength in number then you will get what you want. Once you have the power now it becomes necessary to suppress other groups from propping up. If you have achieved your power through corruption, what else will you use to...

Even when we use the bath tissue we have a reason and purpose. The way Indians are treating Gandhi is a complete disgrace. See, I don’t agree with many things Gandhi said and followed but still I respect him more than anyone else. Indians are such a selfish breed that nothing matters when it comes to their personal need. The way this auction of Gandhi’s belonging was handled is a complete disaster. Gandhi lived his life for his principles; one such principle is “Satya”. Quoting Gandhi’s own words “Without truth nothing”. With that our beloved Indian Tourism and Culture Minister Ambika Soni comes out and says that she and her government helped Mallya to get Gandhi’s belonging. Now Mallya bluntly rejected her statement and said that he bought it on his own. When you lie to get cheap publicity on the very man who lived for truth shows you how sad the state of India is. Not one person in India stood up and questioned Ambika Soni, because it doesn’t matter does it? Who cares about Gandhi? ...

I was perplexed at reading the recent article by N. Ram, “The Hindu” Editor-in-chief regarding Tibet’s status under China. I do understand that Ram is a committed communist and that every individual has his right for expression (I wonder whether I can say the same under communist China). But for me it is hard to buy his view that Tibet is much better under Communist China rather than to be a sovereign nation. Mr. Ram puts forth couple of argument 1.Tibet has prospered under China 2.Tibet is secluded from China that it still holds its distinctiveness and that normal Chinese don’t want to move to Tibet. Well, it looks like Mr. Ram has taken leaf from British imperialism. The British sincerely believed that by ruling countries like India and China they were doing a favor to natives. What Australian government has done for Aborigines and what the Canadian did to Indians in their land are similar to what Mr. Ram is proposing. Quoting economical prosperities successive government has kidna...

Question - தமிழக அரசின் இலவச உணவு, சீருடை திட்டத்தை ஆதரிக்கிறீர்களா? Morarji Desai - எதையும், யாருக்கும் இலவசமாக அளிப்பதை நான் ஆதரிக்கவில்லை. மக்களைப் பிச்சைக்காரர்களாக்கும் திட்டம் இது.

"Yes, the Terroist are from Paksitan" Pakistan interior ministry. Now what????

Couple of Statesman editors (Newspaper from Calcutta) Ravindra Kumar and Anand Sinha was arrested on charges of offending Islam. Muslims in Calcutta went up in arms demanding that they be punished. They republished an article for UK’s Independent daily entitled “Why should I respect these oppressive religions?” In the article the author Johann Hari writes "I don't respect the idea that we should follow a 'Prophet' who at the age of 53 had sex with a nine-year old girl, and ordered the murder of whole villages of Jews because they wouldn't follow him." This is where the hypocrisy in India (and that of the world) is at its best. For example, people like Periyar have walked the street with slipper garland on Lord Ram’s picture which was looked as a mark of a new beginning. Now a journalist publishes something (which by the way is not fictional) about Prophet and the entire world goes against them as if they were trying to defame Islam. Everyone has their righ...

Rafa Nadal, no matter what people say about Bjorn Borg, Rod Laver, Ivan Lendl, Becker, Pet Samprass and of course Roger, he is truly the best player ever to touch the Tennis Racquets.

By now almost all Hindus know how the 2 main deities of Hinduism (Vishnu and Siva) have vanished Brahma from the main stream. I was looking at the work by Godfrey Higgins, who argues that Abraham and Brahma are one and the same. He adds how Abraham’s wife Sarah is similar to Brahma’s wife Sara-swati. I know it was a bad idea to vanish Brahma from Hinduism, look what He has done. Revenge is sweet. He now has more followers then both put together!!!!
