பொய்யில்லாத அன்பு?!?!?

அன்பை என்ன தான் பூட்டி வைத்தாலும் கண்ணீரே காட்டி கொடுத்து விடும் என்றான் வள்ளுவன். அதே சமயம் அந்த அன்பை மிகைபடுத்தி கூறும் போது பொய்யை தவிர்க்க முடியவில்லை. இருப்பினும் அந்த பொய்யை கேட்கத்தான் எத்தனை சுகம்!! காற்று உள்ள வரை காலம் இருக்கும். காலம் உள்ள வரை அன்பு இருக்கும். அந்த அன்பு உள்ள வரை பொய் இருக்கும்.

Animal Kingdom...

[Forwarded email from a friend..very funny and true about research scholars!!!]

Once a man went to a Veterinary Doctor and said:

Doctor I have come on vacation for a month so that I can get myself treated fully within this period.

Doctor: I think you should go to the Doctor opposite to my clinic, see that board.

Man: No, Doctor, I have come to you only

Doctor: But, gentleman I am a Veterinary Doctor. I am an animal specialist. I do not treat human beings.

Man: I know, Doctor very well and that is why I have come to you only...

Doctor: I can not, because you speak like me, think like me, talk like me which means you are a human being and not an animal.

Man: I know I am a human but listen to my complaints first:

Doctor: OK. Tell me.

Man:
I sleep like dog thinking about my work load whole night.
I get up in the morning like a horse
I go to work running like a deer
I work all the day in my lab like a donkey

I keep on planning for new projects and thesis like a fox
I run around for 12 months like a bull without any holidays.
I wag my tail in front of all my superiors


Doctor: are you a Research Scholar?

Man: Yes !!

Doctor: Instead of telling this long history you should have told me in the beginning itself that you are a Research Scholar. Come man, no one can treat you better than me.

Q & A - Part I

(Here is a new section that I just started. Q & A!! I ask questions, I give answers. Strange, huh???)

The current section is primarily about politics and related.

Question: From your point of view, who is the greatest politician ever?
Ans: K. Kamaraj. Undoubtedly, the BEST!!! I'm more than certain we (Tamilnadu people) will NEVER find someone who can equal K.Kamaraj.

Question: What is so strange about Tamilnadu?
Ans: The Government approved "English" but deliberately protested "Hindi" - the national language of India!!!

Question: What is sad about Tamilnadu?
Ans: The political parties buy voters these days.

Question: One thing that you're so impressed about Karunanidhi
Ans: He WON all the elections that he contested. No one that I knew achieved this feat!!!

Question: One thing that makes you so mad at Karunanidhi
Ans: When the Sri Lankan forces were brutally committing the massacre at the Northern regions killing innocent Tamils, Karunanidhi - who claims himself as the Savior for the Tamils - went to Delhi to bargain positions for his ministers. What a shame!!! When people's lives are at stakes, our chief minister was fighting to get seats for his son, daughter, relatives and other party members.

Question: What is the saddest thing about Congress party?
Ans: Since Independence (1947), the Nehru family ruled India for at least 37 years. If I consider Manmohan's present and past terms, both of which were technically ruled by Sonia Gandhi, the number goes to 43 years. This implies that "may be the rest of the Indian families are not that competent compared to Nehru family"!!! Or, should I say Dynasty rules???!!!

Question: When you think of MGR, what is the first thing that always strikes your mind?
Ans: MGR's support for Tamil Eelam struggle in Sri Lanka and his generous monetary donation to LTTE.

Question: Is Rajiv Gandhi's assassination justified?
Ans: It is certainly justified in Tamil Eelam's soil

Question: Name three Leaders who impressed you the most!
Ans: Netaji Subash Chandra Bose, V. Prabhakaran, and none

(Part-II will be up shortly!!!)

Things of the Past - I

Some prime events that happened around the world that got my attention:

(1) Sachin crafted a classy 200 runs in cricket while playing for India against Republic of South Africa. The first-ever man on the Planet to achieve this stupendous task!!! Bravo Sachin. But hopefully you will retire after the 2011 world cup and pave way for the youngsters.

(2) Minority Indians gets attacked in India and elsewhere. The ruling Government manages to act as a mute spectator, as always!!! One of the Greatest Artists India has ever produced, M.F.Husain, was conferred Qatar nationality recently. His paintings that blatantly portrayed the sexuality in ancient Indian culture received huge criticism from communal forces and hence the Legend was forced to vacate India. Two points to consider: (1) We no longer can boast the mantra "Unity in Diversity"; that's just to fool foreigners & local kids. (2) The level of creativity and imagination incorporated in Art should be left to Artists and not to politicians and other communal forces. Enough damage was already done on Indian constitution and now the politicians are expanding their horizons to ruin the world of paintings, movies, etc.

(3) Hamas Leader al-Mabhouh was mysteriously killed in a Hotel room in Dubai. The Israeli spy agency Mossad was the prime suspect in this thriller-killer event. About 18 passports were doctored and was used illegally to carry out this. Bravo Mossad if you're indeed behind this!!! In contemporary context, nations protect sovereignty by speaking diplomacy overtly and perform secret operations using their spy-agencies (KGB, CIA, MI5, RAW, ISI and now Mossad) by supporting covert operations such as this. If this continues, I expect to see Stones and sticks in the near future as fighting tools if you know what I mean. Well, I won't be there to see, but let's see!!!

(4) Hilarity Clinton recommended the Senate to approve few more billon USA dollars as an aid to Pakistan. America's foreign policy towards Pakistan is really confusing to me. Well, technically its not confusing when I realize that America is playing a dual game to both us (India) and Pakistan. On on end, America publicly impeach Pakistan that they must dismantle all terror groups for the benefit of their own as well as the world. On other end, they provide all funds and train Pakistani men to raise their standards. The fact of the matter is most of the USA-funds given to Pakistan are used to boost-up their covert and overt attacks against Indians. It's like a food chain process. America gives money to Pakistan which in turn is used to train pakistani men. These men (both military as well as ISI guys) in turn train terrorists organizations who in turn targets us either in India or Afghanistan or elsewhere. America turned a Nelson's eye despite our repetitious attempts to bring this issue to them.

(5) One of the prime suspects behind the 26/11 attacks that happened in Mumbai, David Headley alias Daood Gilani, is under America's custody for almost 5 months. He was arrested for his alleged involvement with terrorist organizations and planning several attacks in India and elsewhere. And now, what pisses me off is the "utterly inadequate diplomatic skills" showed off by Indian rulers in convincing America to deport Headley to India. We can't even get access to a terrorist from our "so-called" ally, let alone getting access to Saeed (Jamaat-ud-Dawaah Chief) from Pakistan. For christ's sake, it took more than 4 months to even get the recent photograph of Headley. India needs to get access to this men ASAP in order to circumvent future attacks because this 'deadly Headley' visited various "hot" spots in India and captured videos. The master plans must have been laid already for future attacks and America must come forward to save Indians/other citizens. I've a question to American diplomats now. "If India gets to possess the custody of mastermind behind 9/11, wouldn't you be doing anything at any cost at an unbelievable pace to gain access to those terrorists - Yes or No??"

(6) China likes to live in a fantasy world. Not only they don't have democracy in their country, but also they develop symptoms to not to perceive democratic feelings of alien countries. Since when China developed the power to control whether or not an Indian Prime Minister should go to Arunachal Pradesh? Since when China developed the power to control whether or not should Indian/American diplomats should meet Dalai Lama or not? Out of the blue, China demonstrated immense interests for the development of Sri Lanka . Or, should it be to belittle South India? China considers India as its potential enemy from the South Asian region and doesn't want us to progress in any quarters. Agreed that China has a huge economy, very powerful military and is not nearly as corrupted as India is (thanks to our shameless politicians!!!). However, China can never come close to India - not even in dreams - when certain important parameters are considered. Few of them are: (i) Diversity; (ii) respect for fellow citizens; (iii) communication skills; (iv) IT sector; (v) Role of a civilian in deciding the ruling Government; (vi) A mixture of traditional values and modern thoughts!!!

That's it for now...I hope to write "Things of the Past - II" soon. Keep checking. Adieux!!!!
