Mathamillya
A small boy in Kerala wrote 'Mathamillya' in an application form in school when asked about his religion.This word in Malayalam would mean Matham(Religion), Illya(Does not exist).
Did that mean that it was ignorance that made him write such a thing? He comes from a family where they do follow a religion and so he is definitely aware of what it is to belong to a certain community. He is around 12years, and his interest lies in poetry..topic isn't about nature or his childhood but he writes poems about how mankind is caught in many webs created by themselves.
This boy is of the opinion that there can be a beginning, religion need not be used to discriminate one from another. He goes onto say, following a religion should not be a criteria for admissions in school and so he does not wish to speak about it in school where everyone is treated equal. Point taken....

Meaning of Life....
To begin with, the central idea here is not to throw light on any philosophical aspects to the most complicated topic..LIFE. And the meaning of it..some search this meaning at the pantry at office.Hoping that lady luck might just shine today or maybe that moment. Here's wishing good luck for ya pal :D
And some of them might just search this meaning in GOOGLE! Yeah not kidding, might search for the meaning in there..after all Google has all the answers. Currently when the mood in the whole wide world is....THE DARKEST HOUR IS JUST BEFORE DAWN The rising inflation, the gasoline prices soaring..somehow am reminded of the ever existing topic of, THE WORLD COMING TO AN END..
Another intrepetation of life coming the Bush way is even now the fight against terrorism and targeting Iraq. Pretty much a hackneyed idea and sole purpose of his life seems to be the war against terrorism and according to him its within the broken walls of Iraq!! Then there is this man..Obama. Must tell I was damn inspired by what he spoke. So much sense coming in from this man and obviously this was right opposite to Bush's version.
Obama is truly a leader, he has a vision. He knows how to direct the lives of people. He has a point, says the funds raised by the Americans by paying taxes is still getting used at Iraq where there is no need now. The terrorists are not locked up at that place alone, they can be all across the world so how can American Military prove that their people are safe with just their authority over the Iraqis? Obama says his first point would be to end the war at Iraq, that would mean adding so much meaning to the lives of the American soldiers, their families and most importantly the Iraqis themselves. Its high time, the Iraqi government took over the charge and looked into their domestic problems.
Move over Prez Bush, lets add some meaning in people's lives...

Chintamani's kahaani...
This blog is purely an art of reality and writer's interpretation. Any part viz. story, dance, screenplay resembling any person living or dead, any person etc., etc., is purely not coincidental and intentional"
Discussion started with the Violin classes being held at office. General opinion was tht one had to learn all these things while a kid. Thts when Chintamani said, his parents had opinion tht the ROI(Return On Investment) on such activities was assumed to be less and they always showed him the best way to invest time was in books and gettin the highest marks.

Troublemakers in the Valley!
A call for bharat bandh on Jul3rd, 2008 by the BJP and all their allied groups who survive on such cheap publicity time and again. And reason this time would be, their religious sentiments behind the revocation of the forest land which was given to the Amarnath Shrine Board.
There's a clear discrimination already in J&K where the Amarnath Yatra was under the Governor's authority and Waqf board is in the CM's control. When Lt. S.K.Sinha, the Governor had just one week left for his term in office, he granted acres of forest land for the Amarnath Shrine Board. From time immemorial, the locals at Jammu have been carrying out the activities for the Pilgrims who come there during 2months of their visit to Amarnath. There were temporary accomodations provided for the pilgrims and eveything went on peacefully for years.
And now this gimmick of granting the land to the Amarnath Shrine Board and revoking it is keeping in mind the upcoming elections there.A state that has enuf and more controversies, issues, deaths...Is this act by these ppl in power justified??

Aamir
Have u ever wondered when a newspaper article reads abt a suicide bomber and it happens to be a Muslim that there can be more to tht person? A different dimension is required for us to view the opinions that the media forces us to beleive.
Intelligent cinema or Alternate cinema, call it wotever u want. A 90min Hindi movie without songs, without melodrama and completely engaging the audience until the last min. Kudos to the Film maker, Rajkumar Gupta.Plot of the movie would definitely open up lotta issues currently spoken and most often not spoken abt in our society.Rajeev Khandelwal as the protagonist of the movie does more than justice as a debutant.Even if the background score is hugely inspired by 'Requiem for a dream', it blends with the movie.Watch this to know there are still experiments made with Indian Cinema...

Saving is earning!
In the days of rising inflation, shooting prices of petrol isnt it time to start if one hasn't started as yet to invest? Best ways to invest cannot be narrowed down but some of the best would be:
1. Real Estate: Plots are always the safest bet rather than flats. Since its an easier option to get loans for flats.Also one could claim these for tax benefits, flats are the ones in demand.Some of the best real estate agencies in Blore are:

http://www.puravankara.com/residential_projects.asp
http://www.sobhadevelopers.com/
http://www.brigadegroup.com/
2. Mutual Funds and Stocks. And this article might be of help to reassure
http://www.window2india.com/cms/content/article11092007.jsp?aid=5931
One could always take SIP(Systematic Investment Plan) minimum 500 permonth, from various options avbl. There are open ended schemes as well, and if you wish to claim tax benefits then opt for MF with a lock in period of 3yrs, which are called ELSS(Equity linked saving schemes).More on tht,
