The face of Indian politics

Gone are those periods where the leaders work for the welfare of the people.. Indian politics is riddled by "Communal forces". The fact is those who are communal are calling others communal and hence diverting their attention elsewhere.. Elections have become more caste based and the so called mantra of the politicians these days "Minority appeasement". This so called upliftment of the minority has been going on for 60 years and our leaders are there as always standing tall to ensure that it continues even after the earth is completely destroyed.. :P The so called "secular" UPA consisting of the Congress and the Left claim that BJP which is basically a communal party based on Hindutva.. Are they forgetting that around 80% of the Indians are Hindus... Even those so called minorities are mostly Hindus. The thing which is hard to comprehend is are the people's mind so fickle as they aren't able to judge the fact.. When a party allocates seats to candidates immediately the news channels cling to the fact that the no of candidates belonging to the other religions is low.. Are the people out there interpreting the constitution like we have those Vyakyanas??? When the constitution said all people should be treated equally irrespective of their caste, creed and religion does it mean that on the basis of equality the percentage of the people belonging to the other religions should be equal to that of Hindus in a Hindu dominated nation?? The so called funds allocated and priviliges given by the govt for the appeasement of the minority muslims.. Well, they are a minority no one can deny that face but isn't it the so called secular parties who are dividing the people on the basis of religion? When election times comes no one thinks of the society as one consisting of upper class, middle or lower but on the basis of their castes and how to garner the votes of a particular caste... Yes, there are some religious fanatics.. You take those people who wage the so called jihad.. don't you term them as extremists?? There are also religious extremists.. But they don't take up a majority of the population. Immediately when a few extremists clash together.. they blame goes to the VHP and thus the entire Hindu community. The Tamil Nadu CM claims that he has obtained 69% reservation for all those minorities which is a so called great achievement and is proud of it.. Are our standards so bad?? Or are our situation still worse like the Gujjars fighting to recognise their tribe as a ST instead of SC.. What is the state of those so called upper caste brahmins who work as toilet cleaners in the Public toilets of Delhi?? Why don't the politicians fight to make India a Backward country and fight for seats in other foreign institutions claiming reservation for their backwardness?? Most of the politicians come from backward classes.. Aren't they the money makers?? no churners??? Are they still backward?? Or do they eat the money which gets allocated for the so called minority appeasement?? Providing television to the poor... They then have to pay for electricity and cable charges etc.. Isn't it worthwile to provide them proper means of sustenance?? No wonder they sell the TVs.. TAMIL NADU - The only state which thrives and runs on money earned in selling licqour. Be proud to be a tamilian. And in Karnataka are the leaders so power hungry that they can't keepup to their agreements???

I don't know my name....

I dont know my name

I dont know my fame

Even though 180 minutes is my life
I get the attention of the sport as if I'am its wife

Millions of dollors & hearts are at stake &
A slight misbehaviour of me can become a costly mistake

Like every human I breath in & breathe out air ,
I burn out the food in my stomach and spend out the enerygy
Valves close & open , lines carry fuel like to an arteries,
Strands of conduits transfer the signal like the neurons

Thousands around the globe are working on my improvement caring like doctors ,
To unravel the fourmula for success ,to be number one ,to beat the 3 pointers( Mclaren) ,

In the spirit of Formula 1 ,Hail Red.......
May the Prancing Horse FLY!!!!!!!!!!

Formula 1 -- Why is it the sport???

I know I have already made some comments on this in my previous posts but want to elaborate on it. Any sport has its share of enthusiasts. There are so many fanatics so many critics... A sports person's job is no joke. The face criticism to the maximum. If they don't perform or even if they are not performing to the previous standards they themselves have set they are written off by the people. Well coming to the point, take a sport like cricket. Well looking on television may be easy but then practically doing those things on the field are no joke. You see a fielder diving but the ball speeding towards the boundary. But when you look close the ball is no where near the fielder. Fielding in the hot sun for more than 3 hours and also batting for long hours is no joke. Just try running for half an hour. You'll how how pathetic you are. The role of technology here is limited. The use of cameras and stump mics are the main fields and the remaining things are just for the media. Yes, they use technology during coaching but other than that it mainly depends on the skill of the players. Take other sports like athletics etc. All those solely depend on the people involved. Football, baseball, basketball everything depends on the players ONLY. Now coming to the topic... For a person who sees a race suddenly on the TV, the first thought that would come to his mind is that what a waste people driving a car around the same track so many times... Let us start from the role of a driver. Yes the driver is important. He solely has the skill to drive the maximum out of the car. All cars are approximately the same except for time difference in tenths of a seconds. When a good driver is having a good car you can naturally see their performance. Look at Lewis Hamilton now... The same thing a driver with a poor car. Michael when he started with Jordan qualified only 7th on his 1st race but then that itself was a great achievement coming 7th with a Jordan. A driver has to know when to push the car and when not to. He has to take split second decisions while he is driving at 300k and it is no joke. All the controls jam packed in a steering wheel. Also imagine in driving in conditions with heavy rains. You don't even know where the track is with the water spraying. In the 1 1/2 hours that they drive they lose nearly 1-2kg body weight with a lot of fluid loss. It is no simple task facing the g forces. Well it doesn't end with the drivers part. The preparation starts long before the season even more than a year. It is a continuous process. The technicians at the company factory working very hard so as to gain hundredths of a second. Each and every single component has a significance behind it. They work tirelessly doing simulations and wind tunnel testing and so much depends on the aerodynamic efficiency of the car. They design parts which they implement in the car and then there is the testing of the car evaluating it for its performance and also trying for newer developments. Then on the track before the race the preparations done. Getting ready 2 cars within a week especially when there are consecutive races is no joke. You pack everything go to the other place and again start assembling according to the track configurations. Transit is no joke as nearly 7 fully loaded large sized container trucks are required to transport. They have even special planes. For every race they need all race technicians mechanics and support staff. Even a small error with the mechanic may cause a problem. When once a fueler was injured in the pit lane they had to call in for a substitute. His performance could not match that of the standard fueler. Each individual has a race. Technology is a part and parcel of the race. Split second timing everything is done with pinpoint precession. Even the tyre engineers have a large role to play as it is the source of contact between the entire car and the surface. They gather data giving information to the teams on the performance etc. Every single factor has a significant role. We can go on saying all those intricacies.. it is never ending. Each person giving their 100% and working tirelessly all for gaining a few hundredths of a second... That alone is a fact gining a thought upon...

60 YEARS OF INDEPENDENCE??????

We Indians proudly celebrate Independence day and so on and so forth... Our ancestors especially those who gave their lives for our freedom... they have done so much for our nation. Let us jus think about what progress have we achieved in these so called 60 years... No one denies that progress has been made... There are many hinderances yes.. it is not an easy job but then have we utilised all our resources to the maximum??? Singapore is a nation which attained independence 8 years after us. Look at its state and that of ours.. Yes people might argue that it is a small nation and so on... but then the absolute fact is we have not done our maximum... After the era of Gandhi etc there have not been many others to hold that kind of responsibility and position... being called father of a nation is no joke... India would definitely be better if it was run by a CEO. The cause of all this starts from whom??? The politicians??? The govt officials??? or US??? Everyone has a part in this.. If we the people correct ourselves slowly things could change.. but it doesn't happen only due to us. The higher end is totally corrupt. Even if any funds are located the amount reaching the end user is not even a fraction of the total amount. If some people take a chance it is simply a waste as individuals because everything is done in parties... If there arises one positive aspect there comes in another negative aspect... After 60 years of independence and the govt working on people's welfare we fight for backwardness.... This is the quality of our freedom.. is this absolute freedom and democracy??? Our esteemed Municipal elections denote the standard of our democracy... Our President sry ex gives visions... yes they are nice to dream about but are they practically possible??? Will the so called VISION 2020 be achieved??? (shrugs)... pora pokka pathal it should be VISION 2222 :P.

Where has the originality gone?????

Well, the Indians have moved to a new era I must say.... Is there anything left which we haven't copied from the westerners???? We have our own repoitre of traditions and functions... Why is the need to copy something which doesn't have much significance here... If say the aspects of cleanliness, adherence of rules etc are followed that is to be appreciated... What is the use of specially celebrating a day called friendship day and whatnot ... Absolutely waste in my opinion.. The only advantage is that Cellphone operators and shop keepers who sell greeting cards etc may benefit from them... The hype created for these kinda days is relly huge and also the people mainly youngsters take it as another way to enjoy without any particular reason.. not that they don't enjoy in the other days... What is the need to wish your friends a Happy Friendship day on a particular day... They are your friends everyday not on that particular reason. When one starts wishing others take up the hint and the chain hence continues. Say even during days like Akshaya Tritiya, actually it was supposed that good deeds done on that day were bound to be more beneficial (PS I heard it somewhere) not that gold bought on that day would increment your finances and man what a craze people have.. The jewellery shops are the only benefitters and maybe you have your money locked up in ornaments :P.
There is even a story. When Shri Abinava Vidya Theerthar went to a temple, because the doorway was a bit low he kept his hand on it so that he didn't bump is head. All those behind immediately thought that that was a tradition and followed it blindly.... There are even somethings which sound absurd... people celebrating the end of a millenium when it was the end of 1999 not 2000. Doesn't even one person consider that it is just a waste of time... GOD only knows where the world is heading!!!!

End of 1st year

Ah... At last 1st yearukku govinda poattachu!!!!!!!!!! So the sem hols are going on now... It has resulted in the brain getting tired very soon... cuz i think too much... U wanna knoe wat...

Now very busy thinking wat to do in the hols... so next update will come as soon as some decision has been reached...
PS The decision is so important that the whole world is waiting anxiously for it :P

My 1st year of UG

Well here it goes... My study hols are coming to an end as the sems are approaching... my first major exams after the so called hyped "board exams"... if u don't consider the model exams which have been written in the college.... :P As usual My study hols are spent as if they are the sem hols with the time being wasted if not for the occasional studies which I do to satisfy my consciousness... be it 10 pages even I have spent the day worthwile... The hols have are passing with me watching videos... guess wat... not movies... F1 season reviews of the 2000, 2002, 2004 n 2006... boring as it may sound... i guess u ppl wld find it loads better cuz else i wld have downloaded each race n watched... ps there is a constraint I try to watch races where MSC wins... As paranoid as I may sound... I dont like anyone else on the top step of the podium... So there goes my study hols.. After restraining myself I have decided to devote myself to study atlest during the 1 day holiday provided between the exams... the post will be updated after the exams are over i guess.... oru varusham kadandadae teriyalai... time flies away...

My philosophies

All these may sound as total crap to you and you may think am going over the limit... but all this is true.... If you have patience have a glance...

1.Life is full of distractions... ppl may say it is enjoyment and u may get hordes of opinions but think wat is best in the long run and more than thinking try implementing it.
2.Doing something which u like is easy but controlling ur desires is difficult... try controlling all those petty desires...
3.Whenever u are feeling sleepy dont try to stay awake sleep and then do the work in the remaining time...
4.If u gonna wile away the time wile away fully but concentrate wen u are not wiling away...
5.Whenever u think of commenting on something wat others are doing first see that u dont do it.. if u do it y the heck do u advice others not to do something....
6.After something is over dont repent on it think of the future u cant change the past but there is nothing wrong in learning from mistakes...
7.Especially after exams whether u gonna get centum or a zero y do u need to discuss the paper wen u cant help it... jus ignore it and start thinking of the next one and leave the finished one in gods hands...
8.If u want to do something do it because u want to dont let ur life be dominated by others...
9.Money is not everything... There are other things which are more important than that...
10.Everything has a purpose it is upto us not to misuse them... sometimes it may be unavoidable due to certain circumstances but then we can atleast do our best to control it...
11.Doing something for sustenance is acceptable but sustaining for doing somehting is not acceptable..
12.Starting to do something is easy as it becomes a habit but coming out of it is like hell... so try not plunging into anything deeply especially if they are temporary...take measured steps...(still trying to rectify myself...)
13.Being content with whatever we have is the most difficult thing... Desires often run wild... Trying to be content with whatever we have is really a great achievement..(Utterly failed)
14.If something is destined to be yours it will be there for you but what is not yours will never remain long with you...

Dreams n other hobbies..

Other than F1, my choices were very less.. my dream was to do specialisation in aerodynamics etc and enter the Ferrari f1 team even as a pit mechanic... Sounds too farfetched eh..? Yeah i know but then kanuvugal ellam nejamaanal edukkku naama ivvalo kashtapadaroam... After my 12th exams there was too much free time enna panradhunae teriyalai.. Appo i started my other passion Downloads... appo than broadband konjam nalla parava aaramichadhu... Atleast aazhkaila onnuthlaiyaavadhu sadikkanum nu nenachaen... be it anything... academics is always there.. so started my other job searching for download links... yaaravadhu edavadu kaettanga naal adukku link kedakka eppadiaavadhu muyarchi pannuvaen.... Apart from tehse tried my hand at fanfics.... i realised that I am a bad fic riter.. so shifted over to reading them... Btw, Nalla thoonguvaen...

My passion...

Ellarukkum oru passion erukkum... varied interests... naanum oru kalathula kada book padichu thallinavan daan... but that heat slowly started fading away... onnu ponal innonnu varum... adae kadidaan ingaeum... It started way back in 2002... Am a person who is never into any movies.. so poludu pokku sunday evening aanal tva on panradhu... appo laam DD Metro nu oru channel erunduddu nyamagam varum nu nenakkaraen... Dunno what happened to the Prasar Bharati officials but they used to telecast races n other motorsport events... Oru poludu pokkaga aaramichadhu inda f1 craze... it slowly developed and started centering around the king of motorsport the great lord "Michael Schumacher"... People may say he made the sport dull.. but i started watching the sport to see him conducting the Italian Anthem on the podium...

Nelavaram...

Pakkaradhukku onnum teriyada appavia erundaen.... Starting differentaga erukku huh?? Enna pathal modala vara comment... "Why don't u try playing basketball?" yaara pathaalum idae comment... enna konjam osaramanvangaloda konjam osaram adigam.... What am I doing?
