ISKCON LTD is a good investment Choice

If you are looking for a better investment option ISKCON LTD will be a good choice!! It is not a real investment guide. An imagination if ISKCON goes for IPO and becomes a limited company which will never happen!!

ISKCON is running recession free business using Indian God Sri Krishna. Even if the recession attacks other businesses the Krishna Consciousness will arise in the recession hit people and hence ISKCON will continue to give good performance. Only a small part which might hit id fund raising activity though it will sustain as it has other way of fund raising apart from corporate donations.

ISKCON is running very innovative business. Even from the god to Prasadam! You might find Lord Krishna, Lord Narasimha some where near your house. But ISKCON gods are innovative products as they are Radha Krishna Chandra, Prahlada Narasimha etc. Even customers also get confused that they are different gods from what they usually see.

ISKCON has variety of Pasadam. It starts from simple Pngal to Gobi Manchurian. They have cakes, donuts, fizzas. Sometime the temple visitors get confused and visit the temple on the eve of Christmas. Music also very different and hears like rock band. The youth are targeted in this way and business is focused to be achieving further heights.

They are also investing in real estate. They are building Theme Park, Krishna Lila Park and are going to open their own super markets there. They already have their supermarket inside the temple. Market yard is hundred times more than the worshiping area which is their main business. From food to food grains, music to books, readymade dress to fancy item are available there.

Mid day meal program is also running successfully where in even government and some other major MNCs have their shares. In spite of number of cases and blames by the authorities it is being praised a lot by the general public.

ISKCON might be the first corporate office which is open to the general public.

Money lost in the mid way of data transfer

Money!! If you imagine hard notes when some body tells the word money, consider you are still in the age of you grand father’s. Today money is in the form of electronic data. It is there in Banks computers, in your credit card, in your internet banking account. If you loose these data, you will loose your money.

With this brief idea, let me tell an incident. I usually recharge my prepaid mobile and pay bill through my internet banking account. I was recharging my mobile and I was redirected to my bank’s website from the mobile recharging portal. I clicked on pay button and confirmed the payment with my passwords. The information flow from the bank’s site to the payee site not happened and the recharge was not done. That means the mobile company did not get the amount. But the bank has already paid the amount. It was deducted from my account. Then, where is the money? It was lost with the data! That money was useless for that particular time until the communication error I corrected and refunded bank to the account!

Now consider the implication. Let the amount be little low, say a ten thousand rupees. Let the time taken to refund the amount be 5 day. When the bank calculates the interest for his account for the month this amount will not be considered and will not be paid. So he will loose three rupees. If it is just in the case of SB account which has lowest interest, what will be the implication of such money lost in the mid way through out the country?

I can easily say if the total amount lost in the data transfer for a day is pooled into BSE to purchase some share it BSE will gain at least a hundred points

Now it is Bing Vs Google

Bing- if you wish to insult it you can expand it as ‘But, It’s Not Google’. But certainly it is not true. Bing is a new search tool from Microsoft which looks like next version of Google, but with some added features. While Google is taking over Microsoft’s monopoly with release of new tools, it is now Microsoft’s turn to shock Google and its supporters.

Bing is much like Google, that’s why I called it as next version of Google! There is a search box with all the options for specifying search for image, maps, shopping, videos, news etc. Difference could be felt once you enter some thing for search and hit search button.

Here in Bing, no need to click on the result link to see what is inside. Just point on the result link, a pop up balloon shows the first few lines of the content. You need not to leave the result page to see what is there in it.

Bing gives a number of options to get what you looking for. Like in Google, if you search for Katrina you get the options for image search for the celebrity along with the search result. Here in Bing if you search for name of the celebrity you will be given option to choose news, image, quotes, biography etc. Similarly if you search for a disease, you can later choose to go for causes, treatment, remedy, news.

Similar to Google, Bing also allows you to search images. In Bing you can customize the size of the thumbnail. Also, there is no need to go to next page to view more images. You feel like you are viewing image from your own system. Details like sources, pixel are hidden and will be shown in balloon when you point to it.

Unlike Google video search, you can preview the video in Bing search for few seconds by pointing cursor to the thumbnail. Again you need not leave the result page to preview video.

Bing is just a child. It lacks a lot of features that Google offers. But for a normal search use it is now preferable along with Google. Bing makes searching more easy.

MyToday is no more reliable

I started using MyToday SMS alert services by subscribing to few services two years back. It was very much reliable in the beginning. Time sense was so appreciable that it was sending alerts at exact time. But now, it is not older MyToday.

Kalnirnay- daily calendar alerts may not reach you most of the days. Some days you will get it in the morning, on other days you might get it in the evening for next day. It is just an example. So I don’t read the SMS that tells it is from MyToday most of the time. SMS alerts from Google are found more accurate and friendly. Not even with a single disturbing ad. I have subscribed to few Google SMS alerts that start with Google like GoogleNews, GoogleNewsTechnology and so on. They all come at a time thrice a day, so that I need not to look at my inbox every time when every message comes. Once you open the inbox, about five different alerts will be ready to read.

I am happy with the Google alert, so tried to stop MyToday alert. There I found another way of fooling the users. MyToday often changes its number. I could not even unsubscribe for the alerts. When I tried to do so, it reverses back with the message ‘this service is not available’.

Another interesting incident should be shared with you. I got a message from MyToday that if I subscribe for REC44, I will get my mobile freely recharged. So I sent the message START REC44 to 9945499454 to see what it is. Immediately I was replied with a message that my mobile will be recharged within 72 hours and with a request to tell it to my friends. Already MyToday has lost its reliability, I decided to wait for 72 hours and then can tell to everyone if it really works. It was not recharged even after a week. Instead they started sending promotional messages at midnight 1.30am of some fake, span websites related to earn 100$ per day using your internet connection. Later I came to know this is a Mob and not a controlled alert. But as subscribing to mob or a alert is same one may not differentiate what it is. Fed up with this, when I tried STOP REC44 to the same number just after a week, it did not work. Think before subscribing MyToday.

Uttar Kannada- Height of Exploitation

When Uttara Kannada, a highly neglected district talks:

Hi, I am Uttara Kannada, one of the biggest districts of Karnataka, situated at the west of the state towards Arabian Sea. Karwar is the district head quarters which is south to Goa. I am essentially made up of the coastal belt at west, western forests in the middle inner lees rainy regions at east. I was one among a few districts of the country which has contributed to the Indian Freedom Movement. Ankola is well known for its contribution in non-cooperative movements. My beauty was once praised by Rabindranath Tagore when he visited Karwar.

I am very rich in natural resources. A umber of water falls, valleys, rivers, beaches are my assets. My people were spending happy life along with nature. Representatives of people and the governments of the state and the country felt jealous by looking at happiness that I was providing to my people. The State asked me to sacrifice something for the state. I scarified the beautiful forests of Supa for hydraulic power generation units. But the state was not satisfied it asked for some more nature of mine to be destroyed. Now this was the term of riverside of Gangavali. I thought it was my pleasure to help the state.

The government of India was observing me. It understood it can take anything from me in the name of development. It kept a nuclear bomb in my heart- in the middle of western forests- Kaiga. It made me to live with fear of death forever. Then it was the issue of national security. I never thought they could destroy the beauty of the coastal line. But they did it in the name of Sea Bird, a Naval Base. The people of the coastal regions lost their business- fishery. The people who gave space for refugees from Tibet became refugees in their own land.

My desires were very small. A train service from Hubli to Ankola. They told they can’t destroy more forests for this reason. Soon they cut down thousands of evergreen trees for electric line from Jogfalls to Hubli. They did it again in the name of betterment of state. But a railway was in the list of useful projects for the state.

Most of the power demand is answered by the power stations here along the rivers of Kali, Bedti, Sharavati and Kaiga atomic power stations. I didn’t ask for free electric power to all the houses here. I asked uninterrupted power supply to all the villages. Even today there is more load-shedding than any other place of Karnataka. There are villages without electric lines. State government owned electric board workers takes a week to repair the lines whenever there is a fault. But the state is busy in discussing establishing a thermal power plant at Tadri.

I’m proud of my children that are so intelligent. My name comes within top 5 in the list of examination results- 10th, 12th or CET. They asked for a medical college- there is no medical college here. They asked for a good engineering college. They are still made to go to Bangalore for higher studies. They asked for a university. Government did not hear in the noise of power generation stations. They requested for timely bus service to go to college from remote villages. The second hand buses which are abandoned in Bangalore were sent here.

There is a limit to my patience. State has to understand there is a limit to my tolerance. It is better if I’m answered before it goes to its extreme.

Squirrel Eats Last Bites of Chocolate

You might have seen series of photos of a monkey drinking the last drop of soft drink from the bottle like it is posing for soft drink ad. There was also enough discussion on the originality of the photos. Nobody claimed assure the originality of that.

See the following original photos taken using Kodak Z650 camera. In this photo taken by Ms. Ashwini at her Vijayanagar residence, I can assure you there is no alteration using any Photoshop like tools except resizing of the photos. Squirrel is eating last bits of the chocolate in Cadbury wrapper. This squirrel does not want to waste a bit of the chocolate in this recession time. It is also cautious on the trademark and other advertisement laws. So the brand of the chocolate can not be seen.

Accreditation by NBA: Prejudice

It was 24th May. I got a call to visit the college as National Board of Accreditation has come to college for evaluation. Thinking so, if my Alma matter gets accreditation it is my pleasure; went to college. It was the first time I’m seeing college during NBA committee visit. The whole college transforms into some extra ordinary superior status where 90% is unrealistic. Along with few of my senior friends went to the college. When we entered the department our eyes could not believe whether it is a reality what we are seeing in the labs and department. Few senior lecturers were so busy to follow the committee member that he should not get a clue that this is a drama set.

Afternoon we were called to the seminar hall to interact with the committee members. There are alumni and parents of the students to tell their opinion about the college. The session started. It was parents to tell their opinion in beginning. It went like this- “I am happy because my daughter is happy in the college…. I can get all the information regarding my son in 5 minutes. So college is very good…. My son was not good at academics, after joining this college he became intelligent.” Members of NBA committee started sleeping. They started snoring when it came to old students. “I got a job in research institution because of the name MVJCE. (I told myself- for the same reason many did not get a job)…. I got my scores improved when I came to this college (might have learnt copying in exam)…. The road from Hope farm to college was very bad, now it is rebuild (hey lady, they came to assess the college, not Bangalore Development Authority)…. Even in recession we have a good placement…. Garden is very nice, so I could study well and got passed…. It is very good college because I did not get ragged…”

Don’t think it ended up there. There were some students who could wake up the committee members. A person started “I’m very happy to hear that other department is so good, at the same time feeing sad my department is very poor. Our lecturers are so dumb that they do not know anything; there is no transparency in appointing lecturers. Our lab equipments, if it is there, are at very poor conditions that we have to go to some other institutions to do our final year project. Placement office is so hopeless they do not know any other firms apart from Caritor, Wipro, Infosys, TechMahindra. It is just because they need in mass and don’t look for the specific branch. Even after submitting 102 Biotechnology Companies lists with address and phone number the placement office could not make even a single company to arrive at college campus.”

It was another alumnus; call him as ‘sun’ to start his sparkling speech. “My relationship with this college is pretty long as students for 4 years and as a lecturer for one and a half years. I was amazed see the improvements in 6 months from the date when I left the college to today, from nothing to everything in a little while. The knowledge of the lecturers is so poor. It might be due to the recruitment procedures. I should tell how I was recruited. I was interviewed by the professors of E&E and a botany lecturer for the post of reaction kinetics. Do they know the definitions of the reaction kinetics? How they could evaluate? ”

Government plans for the betterment of the country. In this regard the person who has to apply them plays a major role. The saddest thing is when such prejudice comes to education. It has already penetrated.

Unforgettable Sins of Nehru-Gandhi Family

India has been ruled by Nehru Family for more than half of the time after its independence. Even today, though Mr. Singh is the prime minister of the country, every decision is to be approved by Mrs. Sonia Gandhi. Credits of the achievements of the government also go to Mrs. Gandhi in all advertisements. Mr. Singh is made prime minister for his loyalty to Gandhi family. Here is the list of the sins of Nehru-Gandhi family made India to suffer forever.

Nehru:
Nehru and his sympathy towards minorities is the cause for Kashmir problem. To sign to the agreement with Liyakath Ali Khan was the greatest cheat. To betray Tibet, a peaceful spiritualised nation can not be forgotten. Nehru was in nightmare of brotherhood relation with China. But Chinese attacked on Himalayas, humiliating the Indian army and taking away 20.000 square km which is not recovered even today. If today India has control over only one third of the whole Jammu and Kashmir, one should blame Nehru.

Indira Gandhi:
Indira Gandhi as the Prime minister of India was the greatest political disaster of post Independent India. She converted President's office to rubber stamp of Office of Prime Minister. Pakruddin Ali Ahmad is first such president- who declared emergency from bath tub (not literally). Declaration of Emergency not in interest of the nation but to continue Mrs. Gandhi as the PM of India had lead to another freedom fight. Her membership of parliament was cancelled by the High court of Allahabad, which encouraged her to declare emergency.
She created the Sri Lankan imbroglio by arming and sheltering the Tamil separatist groups in Tamil Nadu's coastal. She also 'Created' Bhrindhrawale and made responsible for the whole Punjab problem. She helped Bhrindhrawale politically and thought of using him to counterbalance her opponents in Punjab. Operation Blue Star in Golden temple, which later caused her death.
After her death, thousands of Sikhs were murdered by Congress sponsored violence through out the country, major in Delhi; still they are looking for justice.

Rajeev Gandhi:
Rajeev Gandhi and his Italian wife are accused to be involved in Bofors controversy, biggest scandal in arms purchase for Indian Army. He went against the Supreme Court judgment in Shahabanu case to make favour to Muslim Personal Laws, there by playing minority politics game, against the constitution, against the interest of millions of women. He continued to support LTTE in the beginning, later sent troops to Shrilanka to fight against LTTE. But Indian Peace Keeping Force returned with failure from Shrilanka loosing thousands of Indian militants.

Sonia Gandhi:
Quattrocchi, the main accused of Bofors controversy, is from Sonia's motherland, Italy. Sonia is said misused PM office to help him. She is supporting Christian missionaries’ attempts at conversion of tribal Hindus, thereby disturbing the Hindu Society. She has given all the top Congress posts to Christians to achieve the same. While her mother in law Mrs. Indira Gandhi made President a rubber stamp of Prime minister, Sonia created Prime Minister who is rubber stamp of Gandhi Family.
There is high infiltration of Bangladeshi to Assam. It is indirectly supported by congress as a part of Vote Bank Politics which is now causing threat of terrorism in North East states. First time in the history of India ‘an officer who is not eligible to hold any public position’ is made Chief Election Commissioner, just because his obedience to Gandhi Family.

Girls, learn from Koena Mitra's nose disaster

Koena Mitra, born 1985 in Kolkata, India, is an actress in the Bollywood film industry. A fantastic dancer, Koena was trained with Mamata Shankar ballet troupe for 12 years and that shows on her dance numbers on the screen.She initially gained prominence through winning Gladrags magazine's Mega Model Contest in 2002, Koena’s first break in Bollywood was an item number in Ram Gopal Verma’s ‘Road’; the song “Khullam Khulla” became a big craze. Then thsi fame and of beauty surgeries big names in bollywood like Susmita, Shilpa etc made her to opt a nose surgery.

Nose surgery was done to make her pert nose look sharpen.It was alright until the surgery got over. Then the bone next to the nose started swelling up and then a scar started developing on the nose. Her cheeks looked swollen. Since she was bony, it was very obvious. It is also reported she undergone lip surgery to make her lips look big.

But now she tells "I wish people learn from my mistake. Plastic surgery is the worst kept secret of our industry, of any industry… Bollywood, Hollywood. But it’s a huge gamble. Parents go to doctors with 16-year-olds and say, “She wants to become a model or an actress, but she has some baby fat, can we do this surgery to make her look perfect?”. But it’s so scary, ask me! "

Girls and their parents who wish to take up a beauty plastic surgeries should learn a lesson from Koena Mitra's nose disaster. Tara Reid has similar experience with her breast implant. Plastic surgeries may have adverse effect. Even the breast implants are found to be causing harm. Think twice before you opt a plastic surgery. Option is - health or beauty?

Pakistan- a nuclear threat to the world!

The most immediate nuclear threat does not lie in North Korea, or Iran it is in Pakistan. Also we should remember that Pakistan is the only Islamic nation which is declared nuclear weapon nation. Pakistan, slowly being swallowed by the Islamic extremists of Taliban, soon it could completely be controlled by forces allied with al-Qaida and other groups. Which will make them get access to its nuclear technology.

Abdul Qadeer Khan, the father of the Pakistani nuclear bomb, who confessed to having been involved in creating international network of nuclear weapons technology proliferation from Pakistan to Libya, Iran and North Korea is now free. Political drama of Pakistan made him free citizen recently who is one of the most wanted by the world. It also shows what is Pakistan's response to the world's demand.

Taliban in Pakistan have strengthened their hold over the Federally Administered Tribal Areas and the North-West Frontier Province since Zardari became president. If you observe recent developments, it seems Pakistan is going to be another Afghanistan. Hence Pakistan soon could put the nuclear weapons in the hands of a government tied to terrorist networks. If al-Qaida allies were to come to power in Pakistan, you can not just imagine the threat that the world pose. The threat is not only for India or USA, but the whole world will suffer.

Even though a huge fund is flowing to Pakistan from US, US have no control over Pakistan. The western world with the leadership of USA went to war to remove the threat of special weapons in the hands of Saddam Hussein. Now time has come to do the same with Pakistan before the terrorists gets control of nuclear weapons in Pakistan. I could be only option lies with the world to remove threat of nuclear terrorism of Pakistan.

Inflation calculation in India- never gives true picture

Every media highlights downturn in inflation in recent days. It could be due the peak level we have witnessed in last few months, also due to the political reason- approaching general election. Today's news papers read "inflation at 6 years low at 2.4%". This could make you feel the prices have gone down and no need to spend more. Still it means the prices index that too wholesale price index is at 2.4% higher than what it was one year ago. Then what does the explanation "inflation gone down" means? It just means the rate of increase compared to last last week has gone down. But there is rate of increase. So until when there is +ve inflation (simply- inflation) you have to open your wallet more than what you were doing last year. Only when inflation is -ve (deflation) we can tell prices has gone down. Both are not good economics. There should be a stability.

With this come to the method of calculation of inflation in India. In India we use wholesale price index - WPI. It covers about 435 commodities in 3 groups- 1- primary articles, 2- fuel, power and lubricants, 3-manufactured products. These are given weightage for calculation as 22.03%, 14.25% and 63.75% respectively. WPI is calculated as point to point raise in prices i.e. comparing recent WPI to a point of time in past, that is a year ago. This method has two disadvantages- as it is calculated year to year basis, the seasonal prices can mislead the calculation, secondly, most important disadvantage is as it is based on WPI, it will not give true picture of consumer prices.

As in other countries India should also adopt CPI for measurement of inflation. A common man won't buy goods at whole sale price. Whole saler won't transfer complete downturn of price to consumer. Hence whole sale price index is a way of misleading the people. Even the WPI of some commodity drops at 20% CPI hardly drops 10%. So even when the inflation rate based on WPI is at 2.5%, inflation based on CPI could be 10%. In January, when the inflation was at the rate 3.03%, CPI for working class was 10.45%, for agricultural labour it was 10.62% and for rural labourers it was at 11.35%. Think how we are made fools!!

It is missionary terrorism

If we are blaming on Islamic terrorism of Taliban there is also another kind of terrorism. If Islamic terrorism is against the people of another religion or culture and aimed at destroying those followers. But another kind of terrorism I'm going to tell is against the humanity, against the belief, against the religion, against the culture. Yes, if you would have guessed you are right. It is Christian terrorism. Missionaries are the regulators of such terrorism.

Sanatana Dharma- Hindu Dharma and Hinduism is becoming the victim of this terrorism. Missionaries are busy in forcibly converting Hindus and to deconstruct Hindu society by waging a psychological war. Instead of peaceful co-existing with other religions as millions in India already do, they attempt to decimate all other religions through by conversion in the name of charity.

Missionaries funded by Western churches and nations often bribe local officials to cover up their activities. Missionaries operate in India under the guise of “charity” efforts when in fact they are simply “buying” converts through gifts and material items. Joseph Cooper of the United States carried out missionary activities for 11 years in India before he was expelled after being an accomplice to Pastor Sam Benson in the raping a 12 year old Hindu girl. If you think Christian Missionaries are peaceloving organisations you are wrong Christian militant groups in Northeast India busy in threatening the freedom and challenging the well-being of other religions. t is primarily due to those who want to make the whole region into a separate Christian state at the expense of those who would prefer to follow their own indigenous and Hindu cultures.

It is painfully obvious that political leaders, westernized media pundits, and the bureaucrats in India lack the requisite social and political knowledge, and philosophical skills to understand the devious activities of the church. They lack a firm national, religious, cultural commitment. They are driven to extreme and idiosyncratic decision by the lack of historical context of their judgments.

Vijay Malya, Tippu sword and Gandhi Memorabilia

Vijay Mallya won five heritage items that belongs to Mahatma Gandhi steel-rimmed spectacles, a pair of sandals, a Zenith pocket watch, an eating bowl and a plate in an auction by AntiquorumAuctioneers in New York for $1.8 million. Indian government tried its best to stop the auction and also offered to purchase these at the reserve price as it can't participate in an auction. After rejecting the conditions put by James Otis Indians lost hope of bringing these things back to India. But the most passionated business man Vijay Mallya brought them back to India.

Few years back in 2004 Mallya had brought sword that belongs to Tippu Sultan from an auction in London fro Rs 1.5 crores. At that time it was considered as a political drama as he was leading Janata Party in election. Now it is completely dead and there is no sign of bringing it back to active politics. Even though he used the sword for his campaign it did not do any magic. He could not make his party win even a single assembly seat.

Now winning of auction of Gandhi memorabilia can not be just considered as a symbol of status. It is now attached to patriotism. Janata party is not there in politics. Mallya is always welknown for his fashionable habits. From horse race to Kingfisher bikini callender he is always shinmes as a business celebrity. Gandhiji was against alcohol. He always used to tell India should be alcohol free. But the liquor money is now used to bring Gandhi memorabilia back to India!!

Family politics: now it is BJP term

It was one thing which made bjp distinguished from other political parties was not involving in hereditary or family politics like Congress. BJP always opposed hereditary political play of congress and JDS, also made this matter as a campaign issue. BJP always condemned Nehru-Gandhi(not Mahatma Gandhi) family for making politics a family business. They used to tell even a dog from Nehru family will be accepted a Congress leader. Rahul Gandhi or Sachin Pilot like youngsters are leaders of the party just because of their care of addresses. Yeddyurappa named Janathadal secular party as party of father and son. That is true too. Father H D Dewe Gauda is the national president, son Kumaraswamy is a state chief, another son Revanna is district leader, daughter in law Anita is an MLA, another daughter in law Bhavani will enter soon. So BJP had campaign tool.

Now? BJP lost a campaign tool. B Y Raghavendra, son of Chief Minister B S Yeddyurappa; Shivakumar Udasi, son of C M Udasi; Shantamma, sister of state minister Sriramulu; Ramesh Katti, Brother of Umesh Katti are given ticket to contest in lokasabha polls. Let me ask a question, will you recognise any of them if I remove 'son of' kind of addresses? Nobody knows who are they by their names, even the party workers. Yeddyurappa promised in front of the media that his son should not contest at any cost. I did not see his reaction after the ticket given to his son. Any way, he first is a politician, later a BJP leader, then a CM. Criticisers tell- being a young party BJP had no room to play family politics. Now time has come for leaders to introduce their family to politics. Family politics comes into picture only whena party is in power. BJP is in power now in Karnataka. So leaders wants their family to share that power.

Even today I admire BJP for its national level leaders not to play family politics. L K Adwani could have made their children head of the party somewhere. Sushma swaraj could have easily braught her whole family to politics. Late Pramod Mahajan could make his brother a leader, but nobody from their family in politics. They never encouraged family politics. BJP had, has batchular leaders. Narendra Modi can never bring his family to politics. There are many leaders who came from RSS back ground dedicated their life and family to the party and to the country. They had strong motive lead the country. People like me want to see this original BJP again.

Brahmins- real Dalits today

Today we are not in the society where Mayura Sharma ( a Brahmin) could became Mayura Verma (a Kshatriya, founder of Kadamba Kingdom, Emperor of Banavasi, 1st kingdom of Karnataka). Those days a Brahmin was not a Brahmin because of his birth, he could become a Brahmin when he achieves a height of Brahmajnan required for a Brahmin. In that sense I can't tell I'm a Brahmin, I don't have Brahmajnan. I don't think anybody can claim he is a Brahmin today. So what I am writing here is about the group of people or a society of India and how it is being harassed politically and socially today. It was Muslim invaders who started harassing Brahmins, they created a big gap between Brahmins and other casts of Hindu community. Then it was British rulers who widened this gap. Whatever it could be Brahmins had contributed a lot for the construction of India. Or in other words it is because of Brahmins, ancient India is getting recognised today.
Danielou told "the teaching of philosophy, arts, sciences, which constituted the prestigious Indian cultural tradition, became more and more ignored and could only survive thanks to the Brahmins, without any help whatsoever from the State." Every invader treated Brahmins as the first enemy. "Alfonso de Albuquerque started a reign of terror in Goa, razing temples to erect churches in their stead, burning "heretics", crucifying Brahmins, converting the lower castes"
Come to present situation. It is not the Brahmins who is not allowing the Dalits, Harijans or any other backward class people to come to front row. It is those who are little forward in their own community not allowing people behind them to go forward. In Tamilnadu, even today Dalits are parked in one corner and cannot enter the area devoted to Vanniars, who are just one rung above them, writes Francois Gautier in Rewriting Indian History. In the same book he continues to write "..Brahmins, who actually represent today a minority, which is often underprivileged... ...Brahmins never interfered in politics and today they are often a neglected lot..." "...In fact today, it is the Brahmins who have become the Dalits of India..." .
Harassment on Brahmins did not stopped there "..most of the intellectual Brahmin Tamil class has emigrated outside Tamil Nadu; the average income of Brahmins is less than that of non-Brahmins; a high percentage of Brahmin students drop out at the intermediate level ; 75% of domestic help and cooks in Andhra Pradesh are Brahmins; and most of Delhi’s public toilets are cleaned by Brahmins...."
Come to Kashmir now. Kashmiri Pandits became refugees in their own land. 1 million Kashmiri Hindus in 1900 in the Kashmir valley and barely a few hundreds today. Islamic terrorists concentrated on Pandits in the beginning. They knew if they destroy them the soul of Hinduism could be attacked. They attacked on Pandits, many Pandits lost their life, house, land temples, number of beautiful Kashmiri Pandit girls were raped. Where was the Human Right Commission or the activists sleeping? Are only Dalits human? I have seen number of journalist, media firms highlights even a Dalit kills another Dalit due to some personal rivalry they gives it a national news value publishing "A Dalit murdered". Why they could not see a Brahmin getting murdered or India getting wounded?

VTU, SBI and My result

SBI is the largest bank in India. Pay package for an entry level officer in SBI is double than the average CTC of an entry level engineer graduate. The company in which I got placed told me that it will pay Rs 2,75,000 per year, where here it was Rs 5,40,000 per year. In July, SBI called for application for exam for various officer posts on probationary basis. When I applied in Aug 2008 I was not aware of these facts. As I am always interested in competitive exams made an application. At that time I was clueless about the economic situation of today too.
It was not tough, I could easily clear both SBI prelims and main exams held in Oct and Nov 2008. I got result of main exam in January. The world already started experiencing a hard time. Thousands of job cuts are being reported from all over the world. It was my second anniversary of Campus placement, joining date was not intimated by the company. So I was happy that I could go to SBI and beat the effect of economic recession or also you can term it as depression on me. But the fate was different.
I went to SBI headquarters in Bangalore on 9 Feb 2008. As it had been mentioned in the advertisement of SBI recruitment cell, a person who has finished his graduation on or before 1 July 2008 was only eligible to apply. I had finished my graduation in the month June 2008. Though VTU had provided me the marks sheet tells I passed the exam in July 2008. There started a conflict. On which date I became a graduate? But the officers were not ready to accept my application is valid because there is no proof to confirm I became graduate on or before 1 July 2008. I had completed my last exam in June 2008, if my university VTU had printed the fact that "he has passed the examination held in June 2008" I had no problem. But they did not.
Look at the pictures. First tme table- clearly tells exams were over in June 2008, but certificate read "held in July 2008". A small neglect of VTU made me pay a heavy loss. I was sure that I will get this job, as my performance through out the examination procedures was good , if this mistake from the VTU was not there in my certificate.
Later a question aroused. From when should a student considered as a graduate? Is it on the day when he gets result? or from the day when he writes the last exam? or the day when the university delivers convocation certificate? When it was discussed with the educationalists and some high court attorneys they made clear that a student becomes a graduate from the day when he writes the last exam. Result tells whether he became a graduate or not from that day. But now, whom should I blame for this? University- VTU- which did not provide the fact that I passed the exam in June 2008, or SBI- not willing to accept my application because I don't have a proof that I had not been a graduate on 1 July or my result itself?

Story of Chander Mohan and Anuradha Bali to Chand Mohammad and Fiza Bali

Kya love story hai:
Chander Mohan, the elder son of former Haryana chief minister Bhajan Lal is the main role in this real life drama. Another role is Anuradha Bali a.ka.a Fiza, former Haryana Assistant Advocate General. Enough with introduction let me start story.

Chander mohan, 38 years old, elder son of Haryana strongman Bhajan Lal, was not like any normal politicians, he never had an interest in politics. His father is a Congress leader, hence he came to politics as it is an inherited asset. As a family politics he enjoyed assembly membership for 4 times. He also became deputy chief minister of Haryana. Chand, already had a lovely wife Bishnoi for 13 years, and two chlidren. He came in contact with a city lawer Anuradha Bali. She was 32, divorced with a Mohali businessman and ready for some serious relationships. Look at photo, even today she looks hot! She Assistant Advocate General of Haryana. Then both started acting like lovers in college days and nobody could find them in office like college students bunks classes for dates.

As she tells he trapped her through constant SMSes, which he used to send her since 2006. The sample messages read: "Anu you don’t know how much I love you. God has created you with great love and affection. You are the ultimate jewel I possess." and "Anu mujhe apna lo varna mujhe maar do." Recall your college days. How exciting if it happens in highest government office of the state. Kya love story hai!!

Mujhse shadi karogi:
First it was just a rumour that Haryana's deputy CM had disappeared. Nobody had in November seen him for more than a month . Congress people initially said he was campaigning for the party in Jammu. Then they realized Fiza was missing too. So later she was removed from the state's assistant advocate general post for disappearing from the office. But Chand continued to be deputy CM even though nobody knew where is he. They wanted to marry. But they could not get married as he had not divorced his first wife Seema until he follows Hinduism, as there second marriage when first wife is still there is not allowed. So both decided to convert to Islam and then get married as Islamic laws allows them to married though he has a wife. In Meerut Dhander Mohan became Dhand Mohammad and Anuradha Bali became Fiza Bali and had done the nikaah. They were together for two months. Their love faded just in two months. Mujhse shadi karogi got over!!

Pyaar Mein Twist:
Chand Mohan left his second wife and returned to home. Fiza said he had been “kidnapped” by his younger brother Kuldip Bishnoi’s goons. So he had to reappear on media to confirm he was not kidnapped. He told to media that he is not a kid to be kidnapped and he still loved his first wife Seema and children, with whom he wanted to reunite. Denying the possibility of returning to Fiza, Chand had termed her as “badhiya cheez (good thing)”. For this statement Fiza reacted “Am I a vegetable, cold drink or lassi that he said so?”.

Anuradha Bali alias Fiza tried to commit suicide swallowing more than 50 sleeping pills. She was taken to a private hospital in a semi-conscious state and there saced her life. So story continued. She was arrested for allegedly attempting suicide, but soon after she was granted bail. Then it came- Pyaar Mein Twist!!.

Masala item:
Also a Canadian group, India-Pacific Media and movies Inc. and India Post Canada, has approached Bali for cinematic rights for her life story. The film is likely to be titled “Fiza ka Chand”. Fiza Bali offered to play her own role in the movie. Sure to become very good Masala Item!!

Human Error Caused Google warning "This site may harm your computer"

Saturday, I was using Google search, suddenly a search result started showing every site "This site may harm your computer". I was shocked. Then repeated search with the name of some reliable sites, again same message. Then I typed Google in query box and hit search. Astonished to see the result. It was too "This site may harm your computer". I thought something happened to my computer. I took a snapshot of the result page and turned off the computer. After sometime when I again logged in into Google the error was not there. It comfirmed it was some error caused by Google. However it disturbed me for a while. I came to know about the error next day in news paper reports. Here is the snapshot of the page. It could be a rare snapshot. Click on image to view it clearly.
Google explained it "Google flags search results with the message "This site may harm your computer" if the site is known to install malicious software in the background or otherwise surreptitiously. We do this to protect our users against visiting sites that could harm their computers. We maintain a list of such sites through both manual and automated methods. We work with a non-profit called StopBadware.org to come up with criteria for maintaining this list, and to provide simple processes for webmasters to remove their site from the list.
We periodically update that list and released one such update to the site this morning. Unfortunately (and here's the human error), the URL of '/' was mistakenly checked in as a value to the file and '/' expands to all URLs. Fortunately, our on-call site reliability team found the problem quickly and reverted the file."

Kannada Online Radios

There are few Kannada online radios now available. I'm too addicted to online music stations. It is just because I need not to take the work of collecting the music files and framing a play list. I'm giving you the list of some of the online music stations in Kannada. I have listed them in my own priority considering the quality of music tracks they play, ease of use and so on.
1. Radio Girmit
I like this station most. Songs could be old or new but they play very nice songs. Play list selection could be appreciated. You will never get bored by hearing to this station. You can also hear to spacial programme 'e'-Haadu Yaarigaagi every Sunday by online-RJ Divya. She has a nice voice, the best voice heard after Vasanti Hariprakash. No advertise, the best in ease of use, available in 3 modes Popup the player, Winamp and itunes, RG players. Just go to its home page, I hope you will also get addicted to it.
2. Kannada Kasturi
It is also very good radio station. I was really confused in giving rank to this station as 1st or 2nd. But active nature of Girmit took 1st place. If you want to listen to the latest songs better choose this station. It is available in Winamp player file(.pls), ease to handle, no advertise. Just go to its home page. You can easily find the player.
3. Maja Madi
A radio station with a complete entertainment discussion forum. Play lists are good. But I don't like this site because they are not focused on music. In the home page you will feel like you are in maze and will be confused where to go to listen to the music. Even though musics tracks are selected cautiously it took 3rd place because of disturbance in the site. We are here only for music. Before get confused by entering into home page try here: Winamp/iTunes/Real player : CLICK HERE; Windows Media player : CLICK HERE
4. Kannada music online
A blogspot site. Track list are good. Available in three player formats. You can go to home page but you will again feel like stuck at maze. But you will be able to find out the player links, if you have patience. If not directly click here: Winamp player and Windows player. From this site you can download Kannada songs also.
5. Naanu
Its OK OK kind of radio. I have not get the home page of the radio. Don't know much about the radio station. You can listen to it by clicking here.

There are some other online stations like Surf Music and Inchara. They don't have their own radio station and play list. They just redirect to the players on Kannada Kasturi and Radio Girmit with lot of ads in their page. Avoid using them stick to originals.

ಪತಂಗದಂತೆ ಹಾರಲು ಪ್ಯಾಪಿಲಾನ್ ಹತ್ತು ವರ್ಷ ಕಷ್ಟಪಟ್ಟ

ಪ್ಯಾಪಿಲಾನ್ ಅಂದರೆ ಫ್ರೆಂಚ್ ಭಾಷೆಯಲ್ಲಿ ಪತಂಗ. ಪ್ಯಾಪಿಲಾನ್ ನಿಜ ನಾಮಧೇಯ ಹೆನ್ರಿ ಛಾರೇರೆ. ಆತ ಇದ್ದದ್ದು ಜಗತ್ತಿಗೆ ನಾಗರೀಕತೆಯ ಪಾಠ ಮಾಡುವ ಸ್ವಚ್ಚಂದ ಫ್ರಾನ್ಸಿನಲ್ಲಿ. ಅದು ೧೯೩೩ನೇ ಇಸವಿ. ಎರಡನೇ ಮಹಾಯುಧ್ಧಕ್ಕು ಸ್ವಲ್ಪ ಮೊದಲಿನ ಕಾಲ. ಪ್ಯಾಪಿಲಾನ್ ಮಾಡಿದ ಒಂದು ಸಣ್ಣ ತಪ್ಪಿಗೆ ಅವನಿಗೆ ದೇಶಾಂತರ ಕಳುಹಿಸಿ ದ್ವೀಪವೊಂದರಲ್ಲಿ ಏಕಾಂತದ ಶಿಕ್ಷೆಗೆ ದೂಡುತ್ತಾರೆ ನಾಗರೀಕತೆಯ ಪಾಠ ಮಾಡಿದ ಜನ. ಅವರ ಮೇಲೆ ಸೇಡು ತೀರಿಸಿಯೇಕೊಳ್ಳಬೇಕೆಂದು ಪಲಾಯನದ ಕನಸು ಕಾಣುತ್ತಾನೆ ಪ್ಯಾಪಿ. ಅದು ನೆರವೇರಲು ಹತ್ತು ವರ್ಷ ಬೇಕಾಗುತ್ತದೆ. ಆ ಹತ್ತು ವರ್ಷಗಳಲ್ಲಿ ಆತ ಅದೇಗೆ ಆ ಪಲಾಯನದ ಆಸೆಯನ್ನು ಜೀವಂತವಾಗಿ ಇಟ್ಟುಕೊಂಡು ಸಾಧನೆಗೈಯುತ್ತಾನೆ ಎಂಬುದೇ ಒಂದು ಜೀವನ ಪಾಠ.
ಪ್ಯಾಪಿ ಜೈಲಿನಲ್ಲಿ ಹೊಸ ಅನಾಗರೀಕ ಪರಿಸರ ಕಾಣುತ್ತಾನೆ. ಅಂಡಿನಲ್ಲಿ ತೂರಿಸಿಕೊಂಡಿದ್ದ ಕೊಳವೆಯಲ್ಲಿನ ದುಡ್ಡಿನ ಆಸೆಗೆ ದಿನವೂ ನಡೆಯುವ ಕೊಲೆಗಳನ್ನು ಕರಳು ಬಗೆಯುವುದನ್ನೂ ಕಾಣುತ್ತಾನೆ. ಅಂತದ್ದರಲ್ಲೂ ಡೇಗ ಎನ್ನುವವನ ಕೊಳವೆಯನ್ನು ತನ್ನ ಅಂಡಿನಲ್ಲಿ ಇಟ್ಟುಕೊಂಡು ಆತನನ್ನೂ ಆತನ ಹಣವನ್ನೂ ರಕ್ಷಿಸಿ ಆತನ ಜೊತೆ ಪಲಾಛಲ ಬಿಡದ ತ್ರಿವಿಕ್ರಮನಂತೆ ಮತ್ತೆ ಪ್ರಯತ್ನಿಸಿ ಗುಜಿರ ಎನ್ನುವ ಬುಡಕಟ್ಟು ಜನರ ಜೊತೆ ಆರು ತಿಂಗಳು ಅವರಂತೆಯೇ ಬದುಕಿಬಿಡುತ್ತಾನೆ. ಅಲ್ಲಿ ಅವನಿಗೆ ಮನೆ, ಇಬ್ಬರು ಮುದ್ದು ಮಡಯನ ಮಾಡುವಾಗ ಸಿಕಿಬೀಳುತ್ತಾನೆ. ಹಾಗೆ ಇನ್ನೆರಡು ಪಲಾಯನ ಯತ್ನಗಳು ವಿಫಲವಾಗುತ್ತವೆ. ಆದರೂ ದಿಯರು, ಬದುಕಲು ಉದ್ಯೋಗ ಎಲ್ಲ ಇದ್ದರೂ ಇದಲ್ಲ ತಾನು ಬಯಸಿದ್ದೆಂದು ನೆನಪಾಪಿ ಮತ್ತೆ ಓಡುತ್ತಾನೆ. ಕ್ರೈಸ್ತ ಸನ್ಯಾಸಿನಿಯರನ್ನು ನಂಬಿ ಮೋಸ ಹೋಗಿ ಮತ್ತೆ ಜೈಲಿಗೆ ಹೋಗುತ್ತಾನೆ.
ಏಕಾಂತ ಶಿಕ್ಷೆ ಅನುಭವಿಸುತ್ತಾನೆ. ಯಾರ ಬಳಿಯೂ ಮಾತಿಲ್ಲದೇ ಮೂರು ವರ್ಷ ಕಳೆಯುತ್ತಾನೆ. ಒಂದೇ ಒಂದು ಬಾರಿ ಆತ ಅಲ್ಲಿತನಕ ಮಾತನಾಡಿದ್ದು! ಕತ್ತಲೆಯ ಕೋಣೆಯಲ್ಲಿ ಬದುಕುತ್ತಾನೆ. ಮತ್ತೆ ಪಲಾಯನದ ಕನಸು ಕಾಣುತ್ತಾನೆ. ವಿಧಿ ಮತ್ತೆ ಜೈಲಿಗೆ ತಳ್ಳುತ್ತದೆ. ಕಾಲು ಮುರಿಯುತ್ತದೆ. ಸ್ನೇಹಿತರ ಕೊಲೆಗಳನ್ನು ನೋಡುತ್ತಾನೆ. ದೋಣಿಯಲ್ಲಿ ಪಲಾಯನಕ್ಕೆ ಯತ್ನಿಸಿದರೆ ದೋಣಿಯೇ ಮುರಿಯುತ್ತದೆ. ಆದರೂ ಆತನ ಪಲಾಯನದ ಆಸೆ, ಸ್ವತಂತ್ರ ಜೀವನದ ಆಸೆ ಮಾತ್ರ ಕೊನೆಯಾಗುವುದಿಲ್ಲ.
ಒಮ್ಮೆಯಂತೂ ಅಧಿಕಾರಿಯ ಮಗಳನ್ನು ಶಾರ್ಕ್ ಮೀನುಗಳಿರುವ ಸಾಗರದಲ್ಲಿ ಜೀವದ ಹಂಗು ತೊರೆದು ರಕ್ಷಿಸಿ ಶಿಕ್ಷೆಯಿಂದ ಬಚಾವಾಗುತ್ತಾನೆ. ಪಲಾಯನಕ್ಕೆ ಅನುಕೂಲವಾಗಲೆಂದು ಹುಚ್ಚಾಸ್ಪತ್ರೆ ಸೇರುತ್ತಾನೆ. ಮತ್ತೆ ವಿಫಲ. ಇನ್ನೊಬ್ಬ ಮಿತ್ರನ ದಾರುಣ ಸಾವು. ಕಣ್ಣೆದುರಲ್ಲೇ ಶಾರ್ಕ್ ಮೀನುಗಳಿಗೆ ಆಹುತಿ. ಮತ್ತೆ ವಾಪಸ್ಸಾಗಿ ಮತ್ತೆ ಪ್ರಯತ್ನ.
ಅಂತೂ ಈ ಬಾರಿ ತೆಂಗಿನ ಕಾಯಿ ಚೀಲವನ್ನೇ ತೆಪ್ಪವನ್ನಾಗಿ ಬಳಸಿ ಶಾರ್ಕ್ ತುಂಬಿರುವ ಸಮುದ್ರದಲ್ಲಿ ೩ ದಿನ ನಿದ್ದೆಯಿಲ್ಲದೆ ತೇಲಾಡಿ ಒಂದು ದಡ ಸೇರುತ್ತಾನೆ. ಅಲ್ಲಿ ಅವನೊಡನೆ ಬಂದಿದ್ದ ಮಿತ್ರ ಕಣ್ಣೆದುರಲ್ಲೇ ಜವಳು ನೆಲದಲ್ಲಿ ಮುಳುಗಿ ಸಾಯುತ್ತಾನೆ. ಹಿಂದೆಲ್ಲ ಯಾಂತ್ರಿಕ ದೊನಿಗಳಿರುತ್ತವೆ, ನಾವೆಯಿರುತ್ತದೆ, ಜೊತೆಯಲ್ಲಿ ಜನರಿರುತ್ತಾರೆ, ಆದರೂ ಸಿಗದ ಸ್ವತಂತ್ರ ಈ ಬಾರಿ ತೆಂಗಿನ ಕಾಯಿಯ ಚೀಲದ ಮೇಲೆ ತೇಲುತ್ತಾ ದೊರಕಿಬಿಡುತ್ತದೆ. ಆ ದ್ವೀಪದಿಂದ ಹೊಸ ಗೆಳೆಯ ಕ್ವಿಕ್ ಕ್ವಿಕ್ ಜೊತೆ ಪಲಾಯನ ಮಾಡಿ ವೆನೆಜುವೆಲಾ ತಲುಪಿ ಅಂತೂ ಅಲ್ಲಿನ ಸ್ವತಂತ್ರ ಪ್ರಜೆಯಾಗಿ ಬದುಕುತ್ತಾನೆ ಪ್ಯಾಪಿ.
ಎರಡು ಭಾಗಗಳಲ್ಲಿ ಪೂರ್ಣಚಂದ್ರ ತೇಜಸ್ವಿ ಅನುವಾದಿಸಿದ್ದಾರೆ. ಓದಲೇ ಬೇಕಾದ ಪುಸ್ತಕ. ಸಾಹಿತ್ಯಿಕವಾಗಿ ಏನಿಲ್ಲದಿದ್ದರೂ ಹತ್ತು ವರ್ಷವಾಗಲೀ, ಇಪ್ಪತ್ತಾಗಲಿ, ಯಾರೇ ಅಡ್ಡ ಬರಲಿ, ವಿಧಿಯೇ ಬಾಧಿಸಲಿ; ವಿಧಿಯನ್ನೇ ಸೋಲಿಸಿ ಗುರಿ ತಲಪುವ ಮಾರ್ಗ ತೋರಿಸುವ ಪುಸ್ತಕ. ನಿಜಕ್ಕೂ ಅದ್ಭುತ ಸಾಹಸ. ಪ್ಯಾಪಿಗಿರುವ ಅರ್ಧ ಛಲ, ಸಹನೆ, ಗುರಿ ನಮಗಿದ್ದರೆ ಏನನ್ನಾದರೂ ಸಾಧಿಸಬಲ್ಲೆವು.

ಮತ್ತೆ ನೆನಪಾಯಿತು "ಭಾರತ ದರ್ಶನ"

"ನೀವು ಯಾವುದೇ ಚರಿತ್ರೆಯ ಪುಸ್ತಕ ತೆರೆದರೂ ಅದರ ಮೊದಲ ಪುಟದಲ್ಲೇ ಭಾರತದ ಪ್ರಸ್ತಾಪ ಇರಲೇಬೇಕು. ಒಂದೊಮ್ಮೆ ಇಲ್ಲವೆಂದಾದರೆ ಆ ಪುಸ್ತಕದ ಲೇಖಕ ಉದ್ಧೇಶಪೂರ್ವಕವಾಗಿಯೇ ಸೇರಿಸಿಲ್ಲ ಅಥವಾ ಮೊದಲ ಪುಟ ಹರಿದು ಹೋಗಿದೆ ಎಂದೇ ಅರ್ಥ." ಹೀಗೆ ಶುರು ಆಗುತ್ತದೆ ಭಾರತ ದರ್ಶನ.
ನಾನು ಚಿಕ್ಕವನಿದ್ದಾಗ ಗೋಕರ್ಣದ ಸಮೀಪದ ನನ್ನ ಅಜ್ಜಿಯ ಮನೆಯ ಪಕ್ಕದಲ್ಲಿದ್ದ ಸಾರಸ್ವತ ಹಿರಿಯರೊಬ್ಬರು ಅವರ ಹಳೆಯ ಟೇಪ್ ರಿಕಾರ್ಡರ್ ಸ್ವಚ್ಚಗೊಳಿಸಿ ಅದರಲ್ಲಿ ಭಾರತ ದರ್ಶನದ ಒಂದೊಂದೇ ಭಾಗ ಕ್ಯಾಸೆಟ್ ಹಾಕಿ ಕೇಳಿಸುತ್ತಿದ್ದರು. ಅವರಿಗೆ ಅದರಿಂದ ಆಗುವ ವಯಕ್ತಿಕ ಲಾಭ ಏನೂ ಇರಲಿಲ್ಲ. ಭಾವಿ ಭಾರತದ ನಾಗರೀಕನಿಗೆ ಭಾರತದ ದರ್ಶನ ಮಾಡಿಸುವುದರಲ್ಲೇ ಅವರಿಗೆ ನೆಮ್ಮದಿಯಿತ್ತು. ಆರೆಸೆಸ್ಸ್ ಹಿರಿಯರ ದೇಶಪ್ರೇಮ ಅದಾಗಿತ್ತು.
ನಿಮ್ಮಲ್ಲೆಸ್ಟು ಜನ ಭಾರತ ದರ್ಶನ ಮಾಡಿದ್ದೀರಿ? ಸ್ಲಂ ಡಾಗ್ ಆಗಲೀ, ಬಿಳಿ ಹುಲಿಯಾಗಲೀ ಭಾರತ ದರ್ಶನ ಮಾಡಿಸುವುದಿಲ್ಲ. ಭಾರತವೆಂದರೆ ಬೇರೆಯದೇ ಇದೆ. ಒಮ್ಮೆ "ಭಾರತ ದರ್ಶನ" ಮಾಡಿರಿ. ರೋಗಿಸ್ಟ ಭಾರತ ಎಂದು ಇಲ್ಲೆ ಹೀಗೆಳೆಯುವುದಿಲ್ಲ. ಅದನ್ನು ನೋಡಿದ ಸ್ವಾಮಿ ವಿವೇಕಾನಂದರು ಅದೇಗೆ ಭಾರತವನ್ನು ಮತ್ತಷ್ಟು ಪುನೀತರಾಗಿಸಿದರು ಎನ್ನುವುದನ್ನು ಹೇಳುತ್ತದೆ- ಭಾರತ ದರ್ಶನ. ನಾವೂ ಭಾರತಾಂಬೆಯ ಹೆಮ್ಮೆಯ ಪುತ್ರರಾಗುವುದು ಹೇಗೆಂದು ಕಲಿಸುತ್ತದೆ ಭಾರತ ದರ್ಶನ.
ಆರೆಸ್ಸೆಸ್ಸ್, ವಿಶ್ವ ಹಿಂದೂ ಪರಿಷತ್ ಗಳನ್ನು ಭಯೋತ್ಪಾದಕರು ಎಂದು ಕರೆಯುವ ಸಿನ್ನೆನ್ನ್ ಐಬಿಎನ್ ರಾಜದೀಪ್ ಸರ್ದೇಸಾಯಿಗೆ ಭಾರತ ಎಂದರೇನೆಂದು ಕೇಳಿ ನೋಡಿ. ಕಮ್ಯುನಿಸ್ಟ್ ಕನ್ನಡಕ ಹಾಕಿಕೊಂಡು ನೋಡಿದ ಭಾರತದ ಬಗ್ಗೆ ಮಾತನಾಡುತ್ತಾನೆ. ಆದರೆ ಅದಲ್ಲ ಭಾರತ. ನನ್ನ ಭಾರತ ಬೇರೇನೆ ಇದೆ. ಭಾರತ ದರ್ಶನ ಮಾಡಿಸಿದವರಿಗೆ ಟೆರ್ರರಿಸ್ಟ್ ಪಟ್ಟ ಕಟ್ಟಿ ಸಿಮಿಯಂಥ ಕ್ರಿಮಿಗೆ ಹೋಲಿಸುವ ಮಾಧ್ಯಮಗಳಿಗೆ ಏನು ಗೊತ್ತು ಭಾರತದ ಬಗ್ಗೆ.
ನಿಮಗೂ ಭಾರತದ ದರ್ಶನ ಮಾಡುವ ಆಸೆಯೇ? ಆರು ಭಾಗಗಳಲ್ಲಿ ಇಡೀ ಭಾರತದ ದರ್ಶನ ಮಾಡಿ. ಭಾರತ ದರ್ಶನ ವಿಶ್ವ ಹಿಂದೂ ಪರಿಷತ್ ಅಂತರ್ಜಾಲದಲ್ಲಿ ಉಚಿತವಾಗಿ ಲಭ್ಯವಿದೆ. ಭಾರತದ ಇತಿಹಾಸ, ವರ್ತಮಾನ, ಭವಿಷ್ಯ ಎಲ್ಲವನ್ನೂ ಕೇಳಿ ತಿಳಿದು ಒಂದೈದು ನಿಮಿಷ ನಿಮ್ಮ ಬಗ್ಗೆ ಯೋಚಿಸಿ. ಆಗ ನಿಮ್ಮ ಬಗ್ಗೆ ನಿಮಗೆ ಹೆಮ್ಮೆ ಅನಿಸದಿದ್ದರೆ ಹೇಳಿ. ಭಾರತದಲ್ಲಿ ಹುಟ್ಟುವುದೇ ಹೆಮ್ಮೆ! ಭಾರತಿಯರಾಗಿ ಜನಿಸುವುದೇ ಒಂದು ಪುಣ್ಯ.
ಭಾರತ ದರ್ಶನಕ್ಕಾಗಿ ಇಲ್ಲಿ ಕ್ಲಿಕ್ ಮಾಡಿ. ಕನ್ನಡ ಸೇರಿದಂತೆ ಹಲವಾರು ಭಾಷೆಗಳಲ್ಲಿ ಲಭ್ಯವಿದೆ.
೫೯ನೇ ಗಣರಾಜ್ಯೋತ್ಸವದ ಶುಭಾಶಯಗಳು. ಭಾರತಕ್ಕೆ, ಭಾರತೀಯರಿಗೆ ಒಳ್ಳೆಯದಾಗಲಿ. ಇದಕ್ಕಿಂತ ಚೆನ್ನಾಗಿ ಈ ಬಾರಿ ಶುಭ ಕೋರುವ ಪರಿ ನನಗೆ ತಿಳಿಯುತ್ತಿಲ್ಲ.

Airtel.com, Airtel.in and Domain squatting

Before going in detail I have to tell you what is domain squatting. Domain squatting is registering, trafficking in, or using a domain name with bad faith intent to profit from the goodwill of a trademark belonging to someone else. Now the question is whether the following case a domain squatting?
Let us analyse the situation. Click on Airtel.in. You will be taken to India's popular cellular service provider Airtel. Airtel is largest cellular service provider of India with more than 79 million subscribers as of November 2008. Now click on Airtel.com. You will be navigated to Vodafone Spain site. It may be a Spanish, where Airtel has no service, it still is the competitor’s website. Airtel has tough compitition with Vodafone in India. Whoever types Airtel.com and looks for Airtel detail he will be taken to Vodafone's website. Vodafone gets free traffic from Airtel.
What could be legal action? Before tell it I should also inform how I can write about this. I am a student of Post Graduation Diploma in IPR Laws in National Law School of India University, Bangalore. Now come to the case. By the definition of Domain squatting or Cyber squatting, if domain name Airtel.com is registered with bad faith intent to profit from the goodwill of a trademark belonging to someone else that is well established Airtel, then Vodafone could be asked to transfer the domain name according to the WIPO Uniform Domain Name Dispute Resolution Policy. WIPO takes care of transfer of domain names to the true trademark owner.
But this case is quite different. Look at this information:

Domain name: AIRTEL.COM
Host IP 212.73.32.153
Created on: 1998-12-15
Updated on: 2008-09-29
Expires on: 2009-12-14
Registrant Name: AIRTEL MOVIL, S.A.
Contact: AIRTEL MOVIL, S.A.
Technical Contact Address: Psg. Lluis Companys, 23
Technical Contact City: Barcelona
Technical Contact Postal Code: 08010
Technical Contact Country: ES
Contact Phone: +34 935074360
Contact Fax: +34 933102360

The domain name is registered very long back in 1998, when cellular service called Airtel was there in Spain. But later it is acquired by Vodafone and they took the advantage and started redirecting the traffic from Airtel.com to their Spanish site. So Airtel-India can not do anything on this issue. But the domain name Airtel.com will get expired on 14 Dec 2009. Hope Vodafone will not re-registeres the domain name and continue to use it.
What happens if Vodafone re-registeres Airtel.com even though now it does not own trademark Airtel? I have to ask our lecturer, IPR expert, advocate J Suresh to answer this question. If you know the answer you are free to write a comment.

ಗ್ರಾ. ಪಂ.: ಅಧಿಕಾರದ ವಿಕೇಂದ್ರೀಕರಣವೋ ಭ್ರಷ್ಟಾಚಾರದ ಸರಳೀಕರಣವೋ?

ಭ್ರಷ್ಟಾಚಾರ ಎಲ್ಲಿಂದ ಆರಂಭವಾಗುತ್ತದೆ? ಎಲ್ಲಿ ಜನ ಸಾಮಾನ್ಯರ ಕೈಗೆ ಆದಳಿತ ಕೊಟ್ಟು ಅಧಿಕಾರದ ರುಚಿ ತೋರಿಸಲಾಯಿತೋ ಅಲ್ಲಿಂದಲೇ ಶುರುವಾಗುತ್ತದೆ. ನಿಜ ಸಾಮಾನ್ಯನೂ ಆದಳಿತದಲ್ಲಿ ಪಾಲ್ಗೊಳ್ಳಲೆಂದು ಸ್ಥಾಪಿಸಲಾದ ಗ್ರಾಮ ಪಂಚಾಯತ್ ಭ್ರಷ್ಟಾಚಾರದ ಉಗಮಸ್ಥಾನವಾಗಿದೆ. ಇಷ್ಟೆಲ್ಲಾ ಯಾಕೆ ನೆನಪಾಯಿತೆಂದರೆ ಗೂಗಲ್ ಸಂಸ್ಥೆ ಗ್ರಾ. ಪಂ. ಗಳಿಗೆ ಪ್ರಶಸ್ತಿ ನೀಡಲು ಹೊರಟಿದೆ. ಉತ್ತಮ ಗ್ರಾ. ಪಂ. ಆರಿಸುವುದೂ ಕಷ್ಟದ ಸಂಗತಿಯೇ.
ಅಧಿಕಾರದ ರುಚಿ ತೋರಿಸಲು ಗ್ರಾ. ಪಂ. ಸ್ಥಾಪಿಸಲಾಯಿತು. ನಂತರ ಸದಸ್ಯರುಗಳಿಗೆ ಭ್ರಷ್ಟಾಚಾರದ ಪಾಠ ಮಾಡಲು ಸೆಕ್ರೆಟರಿ ನೇಮಕ ಮಾಡಲಾಯಿತು. ಜನ ಪ್ರತಿನಿಧಿಗಳ ಖರೀದಿ ವ್ಯವಹಾರಗಳನ್ನು ರಾಷ್ಟ್ರೀಯ ಪಕ್ಷಗಳು ಆರಂಭಿಸಿರಬಹುದು, ಆದರೆ ಅದನ್ನು ಯಥಾವತ್ತಾಗಿ ಮುಂದುವರೆಸಿಕೊಂಡು ಹೋಗುತ್ತಿರುವವರು ಗ್ರಾ. ಪಂ. ಜನಗಳು. ಏಕೆಂದರೆ ಇಲ್ಲಿ ಒಂದು ಚುನಾವಣೆಗೆ ಎರಡು ಬಾರಿ ಅಧ್ಯಕ್ಷರಾಗುತ್ತಾರೆ. ಒಮ್ಮೆ ಎರಡೂವರೆ ವರ್ಷಗಳ ಅವಧಿಗೆ. ಒಬ್ಬೊಬ್ಬ ಸದಸ್ಯನಿಗೆ ಹತ್ತುಸಾವಿರವೆಂದರೆ ಕಡಿಮೆಯೇ. ಐವತ್ತಾದರೂ ಆಶ್ಚರ್ಯವಿಲ್ಲ. ಉದ್ಘಾರ ಬೇಡ. ಲಾಭ ಇಲ್ಲದೇ ಇಷ್ಟೆಲ್ಲಾ ನಡೆಯದು. ಚಿಕ್ಕ ಪುಟ್ಟ ಯೋಜನೆಗಳಿಗೆ ಹರಿದು ಬರುವ ಮೊತ್ತವೇನು ಕಡಿಮೆಯೇ? ಕುಮಟಾದ ಗ್ರಾ. ಪಂ. ಒಂದರಲ್ಲಿ ಹಾಲೀ ಅಧ್ಯಕ್ಷನನ್ನು ಕೆಳಗಿಳಿಸಲು ಮಾಡಿದ ಸರ್ಕಸ್ ಪತ್ರಿಕೆಗಳಲ್ಲೆಲ್ಲ ವರದಿಯಾಗಿತ್ತು. ಸದಸ್ಯರ ಅಪಹರಣದ ತನಕ ನಾಟಕ ನಡೆದಿತ್ತು.
ಮೊದಲೇ ಹೇಳಿದೆನಲ್ಲ. ಗ್ರಾ. ಪಂ. ಒಂದರಲ್ಲಿ ಅನುಭವಿ ವ್ಯಕ್ತಿ ಎಂದರೆ ಸೆಕ್ರೆಟರಿ. ಅವನೇ ರೂಲ್ ಮೇಕರ್. ಸಿದ್ದಾಪೂರದ ಗ್ರಾ. ಪಂ. ಒಂದರಲ್ಲಿ ಒಬ್ಬ ಸೆಕ್ರೆಟರಿ ಇದ್ದಾನೆ. ಅಧ್ಯಕ್ಷ ಮೀಸಲು ಸದಸ್ಯ. ಆತ ಸಹಿ ಹಾಕಲು ಮೀಸಲು. ಇಲ್ಲಿ ಎಂಥ ಅಭಿವೃಧ್ಧಿ ಎಂದರೆ: ಅತೀ ಹಿಂದುಳಿದವರ ಮನೆಗಳಿಗೆ ಶೌಚಾಲಯ ನಿರ್ಮಣ ಎನ್ನುವ ಒಂದು ಯೋಜನೆ ಬಂದಿತ್ತು. ಒಂದು ಹೊಂಡ ತೋಡಿ ಅದರ ಮೇಲೆ ಕಮೋಡ್ ಇರಿಸಿ ಬಿಲ್ ಕೂಡ ಪಾಸ್ ಆಯಿತು. ಈಗ ಫಲಾನುಭವಿಗಳು ಅದರ ಅಕ್ಕ ಪಕ್ಕಾ ಗೋಡೆ ಕಟ್ಟಿಕೊಳ್ಳಬೇಕು.
ಇನ್ನೊಬ್ಬ ಪನಿಷ್ಮೆಂಟ್ ಟ್ರಾನ್ಸ್ಫರ್ ಮೇಲೆ ಊರೂರು ಸುತ್ತುತ್ತಿರುವವ ಸೆಕ್ರೆಟರಿ, ಊರ ಹಿರಿಯರೊಬ್ಬರು ಪರವಾನಿಗೆ ಇಲ್ಲದೇ ತೋಟದ ಮನೆ ಕಟ್ಟಿದ್ದಕ್ಕೆ ಫೈನ ಹಾಕುತ್ತೇನೆಂದು ಹೆದರಿಸಿ ಜೇಬು ತುಂಬಿದರೆ ಹಿಂದಿನ ದಿನಾಂಕಕ್ಕೆ ಪರವಾನಿಗೆ ನೀಡುತ್ತೇನೆಂದಿದ್ದ. ಉದ್ಯೋಗ ಖಾತರಿ ಯೋಜನೆಗೆ ಬರುವ ಅಕ್ಕಿ ಎಲ್ಲೆಲ್ಲಿ ಮಾರಾಟವಾಗುವುದೋ ದೇವರೇ ಬಲ್ಲ. ಪಡಿತರ ಸೀಮೆ ಎಣ್ಣೇಗೆ ನೀಲಿ ಬಣ್ಣ ಬಳಿದಂತೆ ಅಕ್ಕಿಗೆ ಯಾವ ಬಣ್ಣ ಬಳಿಯುವುದೋ? ಹೀಗಿದೆ ನಮ್ಮ ಗ್ರಾಮ ಪಂಚಾಯತ್ ಆಡಳಿತ. ಎಲ್ಲ ಹೀಗೆ ಎಂದೇನಿಲ್ಲ. ಆದರೂ ಗ್ರಾ. ಪಂ. ಈಗ ಅಧಿಕಾರದ ವಿಕೇಂದ್ರೀಕರಣವೋ ಭ್ರಷ್ಟಾಚಾರದ ಸರಳೀಕರಣವೋ ನೀವೇ ಹೇಳಿ.

Slumdog millionaire and true India

Sum dog millionaire grabbed 4 Golden globe international film awards. A R Rehaman, most favourite music director of India become first Indian to win that award. As everybody thought i also accepted it as a crown for India. Later I realised it is completely a myth. What is there in this movie which will distinguish from a normal bollywood movie? It has successfully pictured India as a country of slum, beggars and prostitutes. It has become an international trend. If somebody pictures eastern countries as slums, they will get award. Even white tiger is an example of this. I can bet, this Slumdog is not at all comparable with Taare jameen par or Lagaan.
The i wrote some articles on Slumdog, my friend, a software professional Shivaprasad had told me that it is like any other bollywood film, directed by someone who had never seen India positively. We had better film than this. It won't get even a state award. I did not believe him, because I heard Rehaman's Vande mataram, Jana gana mana and many other songs.
India is never treated better in any International awards including Nobel. Can you show me anybody who can compete with Mahatma Gandhi when he got nominated for Nobel peace award? But he did not get it. What is good in India is never recognised. This does not matter. But when Indians could not recognise what we have, it costs more.
Slumdog starts convincing you Mumbai as a biggest slum in the world. Then it comes to communal disputes- mother of two Muslim boys murdered ( by another community. No need to tell more) Then the story goes towards world of beggars, prostitutes, bar girls, criminals. Should I write more?

Obama may be first for US, India has seen many

One of my friend attended a programme at her office, where a scholar from US was delivering a speech. He quoted that if a Dalit becomes prime minister of India, it could be a great day for India as the victory of Obama in USA. He knew only two races in India- Brahmin and Dalits. It is not his fault. It is the default of Indian media. They never highlight what is good here. It could be CNN IBN or BBC, or some other magazines.

But the truth is Obama may be first back to take charge of white house. But India has seen many such firsts. Here dalits have become presidents, prime ministers, minorities like what foreign, including some highly noticeable Indian media burns a image- the whole Hindu community is against to- Muslims has seen high places. It is not knew for us. We have given a equal, to tell truth, we have given more chance to dalits and minorities.

They tell Only when a Dalit rules India can the country truly be said to have attained its own “Obama moment.” Shashi Taroor answers, in theory, this already has happened: K. R. Narayanan, born into a poor Dalit family, served as India’s president, the highest office in the land, from 1997 to 2002. Dalits and India’s aboriginals (listed in the Constitution as “Scheduled Castes and Tribes”) are entitled to 85 seats in India’s 543-member parliament that are “reserved” for candidates from their communities. One step forward India has had a female prime minister, Indira Gandhi, one of the most powerful leaders this country has seen. Now we have female president at Rastrapathi Bhavan. Can't they see these before criticising. US Department of States itself tells in its report India has had a female prime minister, Indira Gandhi, one of the most powerful leaders this country has seen. What else you need?

Karnataka farmers to set a record: to take oath on organic farming

Farmers strike for seeds, bundh for subsidies, fight for loans.... these are very old stories. Now our farmers are going to set a different record. 50,000 farmers of Karnataka are taking oath on organic farming on 26Th January. What a great news!
We, Indians never considered farmers as the backbone of Indian economy. Even today, India might be exporting software, technology goods, ores to foreign countries, agriculture is the basic structure of our economy. But we never gave importance to it, nor government. They might have announced some benificial plans for farmers. But I don't think it has reached a true farmer. At the most it could reach political party workers.
Now farmers themselves taking a step forward. They are coming to Bangalore in their own expenditure to take oath on organic farming. They now know the importance of the organic farming. They are taking oath to not to depend on seeds of multinational companies, which has brought blood in their eyes a number of times. They are also taking oath to not to take suicide as their final option when their crops cheats them.
Scientist, Visionary, our beloved former president Abdul Kalam will be present at the event in front of the Vidhansoudha.
I did not saw media giving importance to such events. They will enter into farmers life only when a farmer commits suicide. Please open your eyes to such matters. Build a positive India. This post is based on a report published in Vijay Karnataka

Jai Ho....!
Aaja aaja jind shamiyaane ke taley
Aaja zari waale neele aasmaane ke taley
Jai Ho....!
Ratti ratti sachchi maine jaan gawayi hai
Nach Nach koylon pe raat bitaayi hai
Ankhiyon ki neend maine phoonkon se udaa di
Gin gin taarey maine ungli jalayi hai
Eh Aaja aaja jind shamiyaane ke taley
Aaja zari waale neele aasmaane ke taley

Baila! Baila!Ahora conmigo, tu baila para hoyPor nuestro dia de movidas, las problemas lo que sean, Salud! Baila! Baila! (It is in spannish)

Jai Ho....!
Chakh le, haan chakh le, yeh raat shehed hai
Chakh le, haan rakh le,
Dil hai, dil aakhri hadd hai
Kaala kaala kaajal tera
Koi kaala jaadu hai na?
Aaja aaja jind shamiyaane ke taley
Aaja zari waale neele aasmaane ke taley

Jai Ho....!
Kab se haan kab se jo lab pe ruki hai
Keh de, keh de, haan keh de
Ab aankh jhuki hai
Aisi aisi roshan aankhein
Roshan dono heerey hain kya?
Aaja aaja jind shamiyaane ke taley
Aaja zari waale neele aasmaane ke taley
Jai Ho....!
