Mahtma Gandhi and POTA

In greek literarture, Hubris- is the sin of arrogantly overstepping natural boundries. Nice word! Now the opposite of Hubris is know as Nemesis- the counterbalance force that restored order and balance. Helen Mathur in her article "Word Smitten" gives an example of Nemesis as: "Mahatma Gandhi was a nemesis to British imperialism in India." True. But what about India? Was it a nemesis or hubris? Taking the current scene in to stride, the things are profusely overstepping natural boundries. Islamic terrorism is at the acme. In spite of this, our honorable PM is saying that he is not going to revive the POTA.
Then what is the solution to save innocent lives? Well he says, the intelligence agency should gear-up and prevent the calamities from happening. How can we expect a IB officer on a shoe-string budget to prevent from something of a bigger magnintude from happening? Today the Mumbai police doesnt have funds to buy the uniforms. There are 2 ways of looking at it. Either the government is back-logging on the issue or the mandatory funds are siphoned off. Look at the scene where you can get a gelatin-based bomb stick for meagre Rs. 50 near Mumbai.
The security is so lethargic, that I think we should go the Swiss way.
Talking about lethargy, have you guys travelled to Sinhgad lately? Well I did yesterday and I am glad to be alive with my bike, as I survived the roads. Though they weren't potentially "roads".

Laxmi-Keshav

The lay-off program has worked positively for me a number of ways. Apart from getting time to read some ground-breaking books like “Rich Dad, Poor Dad” and “Psychology of Selling”, I personally got time to do what I love the most: traveling. Since childhood, when I last visited it, I wanted to know the history of my kuldevat (God or Goddess of a race)-Laxmi Keshav (Lord Vishnu). So this time around, I thought I will do some nosing around and get a little knowledge about it. Here is where and what I found out. 1)The serene temple of Laxmi-Keshav is located in Kolisare. Barely a village, it is 45 km from the town of Ratnagiri in South Konkan. An ST bus for Jaygad drops you at a cross-road which connects you to Kolisare. You have to take a rickshaw from there. 2)As you walk down the red-soil, you come across steps which take you to the backside of the temple. The temple is about 700 years old. Though it was been rejuvenated lately, it still has the archaic look-and-feel. 3) Last registere...

Love hath arrived....

Well if you are looking for an answer to the question, "what is love?", please hit Crtl+ Alt+Del right now. And I suggest you pick up a Eric Segal or an equivalent Mills and Boon. I don't know what love is. Or rather, I don't what love means to you. The thought here is purely personal. For me love just means happiness of the person you love. Unprejudiced, unbiased. Its easier said than done. Because It's very hard to love someone without judging them for what they are. Think for a moment that love is like a sunrise. Do you possess the sunrise? No. Do you judge it for what it is? No. What you do is just bask in it and feel the brilliance on you. And then feel gratitude for it being in your life. Love is more or less like it. More because it doesn't take place at a certain time of a day. More because it fills your heart with radiance to such a level that you don't want to posses the person you love. More because it shows you twilight before it rises complete...
