I was startled to watch Maywati giving interview that her property worth 51 crores is acquired from the money donated by the members of her party that too in the form of affidavits worth 5, 10 and 20 Rupees. It is disgusting to see women equally joining hands with men in corruption business. Now she has made me greedy that I should start a political party and here I go ; The party name is Unmayana Magalir Munetra Kalagam (yenna mathadellam poli, pithalai) :-) and I should start uplifting all womens in the society. To start with People please uplift me by sending me affidavit for Rs. 50, 100, 500, 1000 or whatever value and send it to my address. I will definitely rememeber you all irrespective of the amount you donate me and will mention all of your name during my interview with all popular T.V.Channels.

• My rolde models: Laloo the Bihari and Maya the mother.
• My aim: To uplift the womens and families in the society.(To start with let me uplift myself and my family)
• The flag of the party: Has not yet finalised
• Members of the party- All are welcome. Right now I am the president, Vice president, etc. People who become members of my party will be given post according to their facevalue.(Money value)
• Rules, regulations and motto of the party- Fresh ideas are welcome. As far now nothing is finalised.
• Rest of the things will be finalised in the next meeting.

Bharath Matha ki Jai!!!

Vande Mataram!!!

Television came to our home when I was in 5th standard and my craze knew no bound at that time. There were stricts rules and restrictions from my mother to watch the programmes as she is very much concerned about our studies and the electricity bills. The Doordarshan era I am speaking about is from the year 1992 to 1998. I am going to list the programmes I watched during those years and which is still afresh at the base of my heart.

• Vande mataram which they telecast it on morning and the DD music. (Its still amazing)
• Songs like Miley sur mera tumhaara, School chaley hum, etc.
• The Ramanyana
• The Mahabaratha
• Chandrakantha
• The reporter
• He-man
• Potlibaba
• Shanthi
• Suraag
• Dada Dadi ki Kahani
• Vikram aur vetal
• Ghutan
• Mitti ke Rang
• Alice in wonderland
• The Jungle Book - Mogli
• Alif Laila
• Phateechar
• Tehkikaat
• Amaravathi ki kathayen
• Mrignayanee
• Mulla Nasruddin
• Circus
• Chitrahaar
• Turning point(Its still telecasted I think)
• Dekh bhai Dekh
• Samundar
• Chanakya
• Malgudi Days
• Byomkesh Bakshi(Dnt know the programme and so I have mentioned the character name)
• The discovery of India
• Swabhimaan
• Rangoli and Oliyum oliyum.
• Viludugal
• Udal porul aavi-aaaaaaaaaanandhi
• The street hawk
• The sword of Tippu Sultan
• Surabhi
• Vayalum Vaalvum (I could not miss this :-)
• Edhiroli.(Its still there but the charm is missing)
• Some Japanese serial dubbed in Hindi - I dnt remember its name
• All weekly tamil and hindi cinemas. Cinemas of all Indian lanaguages which they used to telecast on Sundays in alphabetical order.
• One hour tamil dramas telecasted on every fridays.

I might have missed out some other intersting programmes in tamil and hindi. Today I hardly watch DD whereas my Grandpa still rely on DD for the news. We have hundreds of channels today and it is sad to see that DD lost its charm but has retained its quality still.

School days and school friends are always worth remembering. The golden period of my school days is from 9th to 12th. I had wonderful friends and this post is to relish the tussles that happened between my friends and me. As you know we like somebody without knowing the reason for it, I liked Beanu(ponnudaan he he) very much when I was in 9th. We had a very huge friends list and so tussles are very common when we give importance to one and the other gets annoyed or angry for it. In 10th I liked my other friend B very much and this again envied by my other friend Jo and she went to the extent of committing suicide which worried B very much and she stopped talking to me. Then they all moved to different schools and I continued in the same school but still then used to receive many letters from JO [in many letters where she used to accuse that she has got a new friend who is taking good care of her and not breaching her trust like me :-( ] Sadly though I had a big friends list , I had no friends close to my heart when I was in 11th and 12th. I like GS very much at that time and this time she is guarded by her friend and she afraids to talk to me before her. The wonderful thing is I got so many friends in my school days and I am still in touch with few of them. I sometimes feel that we fail to look upon people who likes or loves us very much. In my case whenever I feel to find some way to be together with friends whom I like very much I will be cornered by someone who likes me very much and that will end up in an embarassed situation. It kind of continued even in my college days and I wonder whether it happened only to me or to others too in their life.

I am dedicating this post to all my friends in my life. Though I would have been tough with them at times I am sure they must still love me as I am and they will be there for me forever.

Today I went to office without taking my mobile and what I thought was I will be missing my tiny rectangular sweetie (my habit is to keep it in silent mode in vibration when I am in office) but where it happened otherwise. I didnt miss my mobile as I used to miss in my early days (Familiarity breeds contempt?????). I felt kind of relieved and I was not bothered as such since my family knows my office number and they could still reach me even If I am not picking up the call in my mobile. I never thought I could survive a day without it. :-).

My sweeto has kind of made me her(or should I say his??) dumbo servant and finally I got the guts(he he) to be away from it. When she/he (he he he???) is with me she/he kind of made me to look at her /him once in five minutes. And now the craze has gone from my mind and I am planning to follow it atleast 7 days in a week :-)

Even if my mobile doesnt bug me (err..that will never happen) there is something that will replace it and it is my office phone and I could not throw it out even if it disturbs me(Indeed I am paid for being disturbed by it he he he) . Even If I get the courage to throw it, my company will throw me out!!!

You are addicted to your cell phone if you have the following symptoms:

1.Do parts of your body tingle when you get free cell phone minutes?
2. Does raising your children interfere with programming your speed dial?
3. Do you have long-distance conversations while sitting on the toilet in a public restroom?
4. Does the term fashion statement mean to you matching your outfit with your cell phone carrying case?
5. When getting into a car accident, is your first response "Can you hold on a moment, I’m hemorrhaging?"
6. Does the sound of static trigger dark memories of ill-fated connections?
7. Do you use the menu light as your night light?
8. Does it take you an hour on a regular phone to get the same feeling of a five-minute cellular call?
9. When receiving a phone call, do you ever ask the film projectionist to lower the volume of the movie

A joke to ponder:

Leaving Chennai for Bangalore, I decide to make a stop at one of those rest areas on the side of the road. I go in the washroom. The first stall was taken so I went in the second stall. I just sat down when I hear a voice from the next stall...
- "Hi there, how is it going?"
Okay, I am not the type to strike conversations with strangers in washrooms on the side of the road. I didn't know what to say so finally I say:
- "Not bad..."
Then the voice says:
- "So, what are you doing?"
I am starting to find that Bangalore..."
Then I hear the person say all flustered:
- "Look I'll call you back, every time I ask you a question this idiot in the next stall keeps answering me."

I am into reading Hindi and Tamil poems these days. Some poems by Mehdi Hazan which I remember.

=============================

zindagi meiN to sabhi pyaar kiya karte haiN

main to mar ke bhi meri jaan tuJhe chahoonga

tu mila hai to ehsaas hua hai muJhko

ye meri umR mohabbat ke liye thoDi hai

ik zara saagame daura ka bhi haq hai jispar

maine wo saaNs bhi tere liye rakh choDi hai

tuJhpe ho jaaoonga qurbaan tuJhe chaoonga

main to mar ke bhi meri jaan tuJhe chahoonga

apne jazbaat meiN nagmaat rachaane ke liye

maine dhaDkan ki tarah dil meiN basaya hai tuJhe

main tasavoor bhi judaai ka bhala kaise karooN

maine kimsat ki lakiroN se churaaya hai tuJhe

pyaar ka ban ke nigehbaan tuJhe chahoonga

main to mar ke bhi meri jaan tuJhe chahoonga

=====================

tere bheege badan ki khooshboo se

lehre bhi huyee mastaani si

teri zulf ko chookar aaj huyee

khaamosh hawa diwaani si

ye roop ka kundan dehka hua

ye zism ka chandan mehka hua

ilzaam na dena fir muJhko

ho jaaye agar naadani si

bikhra hua kaajal aankhoN meiN

toofaan ki halchal saansoN meiN

ye narM laboN ki khamoshi

palko meiN chupi hairaani si

=====================

pyaar bhare do sharmile nain

jinse mila mere dil ko chain

koi jaane na kyoon muJh se sharmaaye

kaise muJhe tadpaaye

dil ye kahe geet main tere gaaooN

tu hi sune aur main gaata jaaooN

tu jo rahe saath mere

duniya ko thukraaooN tera dil behlaaoon

dar hai muJhe tuJh se bichad na jaaooN

kho ke tuJhe milne ki raah na paaooN

aisa na ho jab bhi tera naam laboN par laaooN

main aansoo ban jaaooN

==========================

muJhe tum nazar se gira to rahe ho

muJhe tum kabhi bhi bhula na sakoge

na jaane muJhe kyoon yakiN ho chala hai

mere pyaar ko tum mitaa na sakoge

meri yaad hogi jidhar jaaoge tum

kabhi nagma banke kabhi banke aansoo

kabhi nagma banke kabhi banke aansoo

tadapta muJhe har taraf paaoge tum

shama jo jalaayi hai meri wafa ne

bujhaana bhi chaaho bujha na sakoge

kabhi naam baatoN meiN aaya jo mera

to bechain ho hoke dil thaam loge

to bechain ho hoke dil thaam loge

nigahon mein chaayega gham ka andhera

kisi ne jo poocha sabab-a-subooN ka

bataana bhi chaaho bata na sakoge

=====================
