Hey Ram

One Man showed the entire world that war can be fought and won using non violence methods.

One Man showed how truth prevails though it is a difficult path to walk.

One Man gave courage to millions to face the tyrannical rule of the mighty and the majestic force without fear.

One Man wearing just a loin cloth covered millions of people with the cloth of pride by giving them freedom.

One Man died for millions and his last words were "HEY RAM".

Be Proud to be an Indian.

|| ज़िन्दगी भगवन हैं ||

ज़िन्दगी को प्यार भरी निगाहों से देखोगे तो वोह लगेगी

तुम्हे एक फूल की तरह खूबसूरत ....

अगर प्यार से भवरे की तरह उसके पास जाओगे तो

कर देगी पूरी तुम्हारी हर ज़रूरत...

इस जहाँ में आये हो तो भर दो इसे खुशियों से....

राहें बनाओ प्यार की दुसरो के लिए ,

अपनी मंजिल तुम्हे खुद  मिल जाएगी अपने ही दामन में......

मुझे  खुद यह पता नहीं की ज़िन्दगी ने कितने अद्दभूत राज़ छुपाइये रखा हैं मेरे लिए.

उसकी खोज में निकल जाता हूँ कभी कभी , इस दर कभी , उस दर कभी.

राह में मिलते हैं कुछ पल इस तरह , लगता हैं मिल चूका हूँ उस पल को पहले कभी.
ज़िन्दगी सब चीज़ सामने से नहीं दिखाती , हम तो आँखों देखि पर विश्वास करने वाले इंसान हैं.
भगवन ज़िन्दगी के रूप में सामने हैं और हम उसे धुन्द्ते हैं मंदिरों में..........

Mangalore - Mystically Beautiful

Mangalore , I was not getting the right start to describe such a mystic , rustic , beautiful place god has created on earth.With its Beautiful Temples , Amazing Cuisine , Gigantic Beaches and Simple People Mangalore is a place to visit and fell in love at first sight.

I am sure all those romantic people out there will have a good time with their loved ones sitting next to them and the winds gushing past through them composing natural music , the sky changing its colours from crimson red to saffron to blue to black......Hey.....I guess I got carried away.....Ssshhhhhhhh......Yep..I am back on track.

I have seen some really amazing beaches , kind of back waters where streams are passing through the village and bonding with the Arabian sea. The place has its own aura and you really feel cool and calm relaxing under the shade of the Coconut and Betel Nut Trees. When in the evening while sitting on the beach watching the sun set , believe me you won't feel like leaving the place.

There are many temples each famous in their own way like the Durgaparmeshwari Temple of Kateel , Kudroli Temple , Udipi Shree Krishna Temple ,Marigudi Temple in Surathkal , Dharmasthala and the Gomateshwar Temple.

This snap to the left is the famous Bappanadu Temple ( Mulki ).The temple has its own legend which is very interesting.Will fugure out the facts before posting it.

There are lots of small temples in each village or taluka and they have their own great stories to say like the one in the snap to the right which is in my native Surathkal.Surathkal is famous for Karnataka Regional Engineering College (The new name is National Institute of Technology,Karnataka).

Traditions , Rituals play an important part and traditional music with legends are intergrated to make it unique and interesting.Below a procession of the God is going to start where the idol of the God after the pooja is taken around in a big chariot.The third snap shows a KOLA in progress.

A Baby Elephant is been given bath in one of the famous temples.

A special mention of the Mangalorean cuisines like Kori Rutti , Bangude da Gassi or Ressa or Pulli Munchi or Fry , Semay da Adde , Arrep Da Gatti , Goli Baje , Gadbad Ice Cream , Surmai da Ressa or Fry , Marwai da Gatti and many other varities.I might have missed something so please excuse me all those foodies out there.

Thats it , Folks.......Will add few more lines in the future , till then take care of yourself and Enjoy Life.

A New Year , An Old Battle.

A new year has begin which means new resolutions ( ofcourse to be broken after senses prevail ) but still the same old battle needs to be fought.We wait anxiously for new year to come so that we can chill out , have fun , booze , party hard , puke in gallons , vent our frustrations in the form of smoke from the cigarretes.

But once again the new year day is gone , we are back to square one....holding grudges , back biting , blaming the politicians , the civic guys for not doing their job properly , pulling down someone who is moving up the ladder of success with lightning speed ,fighting over trivial money affairs and in some cases going to the extent of eliminating the person , adultery , reading news papers full of gory and sordid tales of adultery , murder , raping of minors by neighbours , sometimes by their own bloody parents and we relish on these stories with equal passion.

New Year celebrations or for that matter any celebration has become a matter of making money for some by encashing on this oppurtunity to make people vent out their frustrations , their angst , their traumas in whatever ways it can be even if it means getting into drugs , alcohols , prostitutions , gamblings.If these things goes overboard then it becomes a matter of more frustration , this time its for the entire family..It becomes a loop.We become frustrated , looking at our state the people around us become frustrated , they then want to vent their frustrations and they also do some things which for temporary period gives them some relief , But what happens when they are out in their senses.

Why dont we make our life simpler , enjoy things which will not hamper our and the people lives around us. Eat healthy food , drink liquors but not to the extent of damaging our body and wallet and life , drink juices , have sex with the same partner and to make it more interesting try different sutras.

If you cannot do something good to other, atleast dont do bad / worse to your own self.

If we want to win the battle against the worldly miseries , we need to win the war within ourselves.Then only we can enjoy every day as New Year Day.

Oh God!

Just think , where this beautiful world where we are staying is heading towards.....Is the end of the world approaching at more than the speed of light towards mankind or are we running fast to fall in the grave which we have dug for ourselves.

We are living amongst monsters on the prowl ready to pounce at every oppurtunity we give them and the success ratio is 99.99% , 0.01% might be your so called luck.But does being lucky to evade such monstrous advances prove that you will remain untouched from the muck which we ourselves have created in the name of terrorism , war and to back it we have invested lots and lots of money in creating the weapons , armours for killing the other in the name of defending ourselves. Don't we feel that these money would have been invested in feeding the underpriveleged , in educating the kids of the so called third world country , in giving a decent life to the kids of war prone zones where the kids dont get food , but YES they get ammunitions in plenty.

We are fighting war for Oil , for Minerals , for Development , for Boundaries to be crossed to get more land.But have we ever thought that there will be death dancing around on those cursed land we have won , the field's which had become a war zone has blood running through the food grains which has been cultivated.

Do we really want to kill people to earn money , Do we really have to kill people to prove a point , Do we really feel that winning a battle is the ultimate success by killing innocents or for that matter even the soldiers who are not aware that they are killing someone who is also a human being like them .

We are living in a time where everywhere there's mayhem , there's chaos , there's blood , there's gore.

Oh God ! When will we come to our senses and take a closer look at really making our EARTH a beautiful and more importantly a  peaceful place to stay.
