Nature and us

I had the oppurtunity or to be exact a eye opener ,during this diwali.I saw a Dog running away from the loud sounds of bursting crackers from one house,but to be confronted by the same in the next.We do know that Dogs are sensitive to noise and to c that dogsowners bursting crackers in thier own noise,seems revolting.THis is not an stray incident that describes our indifference to nature.bursting a cracker,produces a big bang,which one can get by hitting his own head with a sledge hammer,does it provide any adrenalin rush,or does it provide any purpose to have fun.I am not talking about the sparklers and swirling cans,it is the crackers used by the Big boys sheshhhh... if that makes a man,then i hope our world has a lot of less "men". :-)

We need to balance our activites with our nature,cos all that we use comes from nature.I am not a green peace activist or a nature buff,but to start with i need to reliaze that i am hurting another being for my pleasure.that is not warranted at all.

i think i conveyed my thoughts,here..i think cos while writing i was eating a peice of delicious cake,that needs no description....My brain just stalls while eating...

cops and politicians

Why do we have elections?It seems TamilNadu has lost it's democracy status!
any one with power can do anything,the exact meaning for a dictator ship.That is exactly,what happenend in the polling stations used for the local by elections.The opposition seems to blame the ruling party for instigating violence and the ruling does the same with more impact.The cops and the public are the victims here.How are we going to reclaim ourselves,from this pit that we have dug.We have given too much power to the political parties ,which seem to be concentrated on two main fronts.their brazen attitude to stop elections by resorting to any means necessary to make sure either they win else,destory the opposition completely.

have they failed to understand ,that they are also the public,from whom they have risen to the political clan.our hope lies with the juducial system now,to make sure that all offenders,irrespective of parties to which they belong to,need to be punished just,so that these actions do not happen in future.will it?

The judicial system depend upon the cops to impose their order,but the cops seem to be puppets of the politic clan,then who is going to save the public?

no wonder the poll turnout seem to drop out every year!i did excercise my right to vote,but still does it have a meaning among this chaos.

Democracy?

Does Democracy really work in India?The decision makers stay in high secure houses,with less or no people contact.They do make contact only in case of a Major disaster,i quote MAJOR here,cos it gives them publicity and a vote bank for next elections.Democracy ,is for the people,by the people,of the people.That is what i read in my school books.Have they changed it now?

The politicians form their own category of society,which does not relate to the common man,who indirectly keeps funding his expenses and his mistakes.it is like a runaway nuclear bomb,which keeps fueling itself.The major shift in the political warfare,that has happened recently,would be that,many people from the masses i mean the commoners,have decided,that enough is enough!.They have decided to stand in the local by elections as independent canditates.

Are they going to make a change,or will they be inducted into the political sociey ,once they start winning votes?Only time can answer that question.but it does answer on question,that people have started to take responsibility for their actions.that is a very good beginning, bcos,they have identified the source of all their problems.Indifference in their attitude towards society woes.

i hope that i tried to convey what i had in my mind,but i always seem to get lost half way through :-)

LIfe's purpose

I am an average person,with average talent,does that mean ,i cannot make a difference to this world?I have a single aim in my life and that would be to make a difference to this chaotic world and enjoy the perks that come along with it :-).seriously speaking,how should this be done,seem to be my question everyday.Everyday morning ,i wake up with a void in my brain,that needs to be filled with information.Information that could lead me to achieve the one goal that i have.will it be achieved?only time can tell,but i need to put effort in order to achieve the same.It seems to me that i have resource and energy,but not the guidance.Guidance that helps me to ask the right questions and inquire on the right fields.

Does this thought look like a ramblings of an drunk guy,sleeping on a park bench or does it make a sense?I don't drink,smoke or even go after the opposite sex for that matter.Does it mean that i am a waste of occupied space in this planet.if i fail to wake up one morning,will it make any difference?excluding family members,its cos they are obligated,what about others.


It seems that for every person i meet,i delete five from my existing fnd group.I do not seem to understand life's purpose so do i have purpose,or ami just an extra prop,in a vast movie set,orchestrated by GOD.

I think that,unless i put in effort it will not make any difference.If u have a better though process to understand this,please comment on the same,cos i need some clarity ,which can be obtained,only by discussion with an open mind.

that's my 2 cents(paise).

Life as it is

The world is a changing place ,with situations,speeches and articles taken out of context to satisfy one's needs.pakistan and India,two arch rivals remebered the victims of the devasting earthqake that occurred one year back.Newspaper reported to have found that UN relief supplies have been provided to many terrorists organisations based in pakistan.An organisation achieves a status of reliability,only when it is able to deliver on its word and obtain the confidence of the locals.That is exactly ,happening now.The supplies were used to help people to gain their trust and now they have recruited a lot of youngsters to join the religious schools,some as distant as 100 miles from their homes.US and other western countries allege that these religious schools train religious fanatics.Now the irony is that ,money is siphoned from western countries to support these organisation indirectly and the west puts in more money later to suppress these camps.

Who needs to be blamed here for supporting terrorism here?unless everyone takes responsiblity for their actions,terrorism is to live in the world.

My TOEFL experience

Recently I had to write my TOEFL test in short notice,due to some unexpected events.i had three days to register for the test and write the same.As you all know,registering for the test on your required location is not possible,unless ,you book on a month advance notice,so i had to take the test in bangalore,Almaz S/W solutions.I am put up at chennai,so you can understand my difficulty.Well some how i made to the test location.i had to face a lot of difficulty to locate the test center,even though i had lived in bangalore for about two years previously.

To top it all,my test hung up in between,since i was taking a iBT test,everything was being monitored by the ETS Tech team.finally after 30 minutes
of frustration and anxiety,i was able to continue with my test :-) whew! man that was close.my TOEFL writing expeirience has been a eye opener,that things can go very wrongly.
