Buoyant Farmers

Time is always hunger for blood, as it moves on. Thats the way it is structured. I am not a farmer or Mr. Mohan Tharia to feel the twinge in the oesophagus but these are the things any country gotta pay when the growth path is destined in other way. In the long future, there may be days human can survive just with bio tablets. Its better to mutate their next generation to survive in ever changing world, instead of resisting for change.

En Kalvettu

கோத்ரா !

கோத்ரா !

மனிதம் மரித்து போகும்
மற்றொரு நாளில்

தெய்வங்களும் மதங்களும்
மனிதனுடன்

கால பெறுவெளியில்
காணாமல் போகலாம்

மறுபடியும் இப்பூமி மலரும்
சாத்தியத்தில்

தெய்வங்கள் தோன்றாமல்
இருக்கட்டும் !

India & Albert Einstein

We owe a lot to the Indians, who taught us how to count, without which no worthwhile scientific discovery could have been made.

Yet Another Black Day!

On 16 Apr 2002, I happened to read an article soaked in blood on Gujarat religious riots. I had scribbled down my feelings as below to my friends.
-------------------------------------------------------------

I opened this email as if it is an normal one but I was really traumatized after I scan thru' it. I don't know whether this word could illustrate my sleepless night. I have taken out some paragraphs to avoid kindling the inferno. I have heard, read, watch in television about this massacre and a lot more from recent past and bloody history, still the fifth paragraph slaughter my innersense very deeply. This is the height of the brutality.

Mass Psycology tells that only when we are in a mob, we will show upour true colors - thats our vile nature. Sigmund Freud is always right.

The irony is Gujarat was part of one of the oldest civilization - Indus valley civilization. Not only Gujarat, the entire world is showing their true faces by discriminating humans by colors,religion, caste, etc.,

குதரிய கண்களில் வெட்கமும், வலியும் !

ஆண்களுக்கு வைத்துவிடு மார்பகத்தை...

கீழே விழுந்துவிட்ட ஐம்பது பைசாவை
குனிந்து எடுத்த நொடியில் என் உள்ளாடையில்
படிந்துவிட்டிருந்தன சில பார்வைகள்

கம்பியை எட்டிப்பிடித்த தருணத்தில்
எங்கோ ஒளிந்திருந்த என் முலைகளைத்
தேடிக் கொண்டிருந்தன சில பார்வைகள்

கை வைத்து மறைப்பதைக் கூட
அவமானப்பட்டுச் செய்கிறேன்

"முன்னாலே போமா" என்று
பின்னாலே தடவிவிட்டு போகும் நடத்துனர்
கூசிய பதட்டத்தோடு திரும்பிப் பார்த்தால்
மகளிர் இருக்கையின் இடுக்குகளில் கூனிக்குறுகி
என்னைப் போலவே சில திரௌபதிகள்

ஒவ்வொரு நிறுத்தத்திலும் மரணித்து
நிமிர்கிறது வாழ்க்கை

ஆண்டவா! எல்லாவற்றையும் பொறுத்துக்கொள்கிறோம்
ஆனால் அடுத்த பிறவியில்
ஆண்களுக்கு வைத்துவிடு மார்பகத்தை...

Return to India or Stay Back Overseas

We squabble about return to india for good in most of our rendezvous. One guy was trying to justify that its better to settle down in US. This was my reply to him.
------------------------------------------------------------

My Dear Friend

We have been toying around this topic for copious years and dead beat by itself. In this day and age, I normally don't deliberate with anybody about this. I realize that the decision is solely on individual persona and their state of affairs.

I am cynical about the statement – US education system is better than Indian system. Check and be proud on the ranking of IISc, IIM, and IITs in the ed-world map. These days, it is not just DAV & Church Park but there are numerous concepts based, Montessori model schools are in our country.

Pple living like King (not poor Desi) in India if they have money. There is one more inevitable element in India – Influence. A right contact with some degree of influence in the low level helps a lot. Not necessary to have contacts with Ministers.

There are ways to mitigate summer heat (car, office, home - A/C), water (pay for lorry trips), electricity (generator), etc.; Individuals do not need to run behind all these. Have been to a condominium in Bannargatta road. Have not seen such a condominium here. Am not sure whether there are some mitigation factors for 8 months winter and ending a day life at 5pm.

India & China are booming. Even our politicians cannot barricade the spur growth in this decade. This is a life cycle of a developing country until it reaches the ‘developed’ status and become stagnant. Now, it is a land of opportunities for pple who defy trying something other than their confined cubicles.

The above things are material comforts, which the deliberation can go on until the cows come home. The issues of dating & leaving parents and live separately from teen age itself are emotional part of life.

Most of us are avant-gardes in the attire but not in the heart. May be we can accept our sons’ go for dating b’coz of our male-dominated social mindset. But can we digest if our daughters’ engage in dating every weekend? Don’t deny that these things started happening in India as well but it is not part of a life style. Less opportunities, environment, mindset, relatives & friends circle, social & cultural fear put a strong barrier.

Pple will be more grateful to their parents more and more once they themselves get into the parenthood. Pple think that all the material comforts + one or two visits per year make their parents happy. I do NOT think so.

Despite all the above, the biggest hurdle is - Pple are all very much worry about leaving their comfort zone – work and social system. Got to start all over again from A and prove it till Z. The naked truth is – Pple are afraid whether they can survive in a very competitive environment in India. I think it is not too bad to fight this battle in early thirties than in late thirties or early forties.

In fact, all the above is for the guys who is still quandary about whether to go back or stay back, not for the guys who have made up their mind to settle in a foreign land.

Situations coerce us to make our life’s decisions. The mockery is – Situation is the ever-changing variable in life. It is better to make a firm decision and live happily & comfortably wherever the place is. A life with dilemma like bewildered cat on the wall is the real awful.
