STRAIGHT TALKS

Today is another red letter day in Indian Judiciary. Red stands for warning & Courts are playing to gallery dangerously. Along with the lady who was incarcerated in jail for about seven years in Maharashtra, a convict belonging to LTTE held for assassination to a former PM of India was also set free. Double luck as this assassin had escaped death sentence earlier & now out of Jail for good. This assassin along with his mates were  convicted by the highest court of  country. Yet propaganda on by losers now that judiciary erred in convicting him. They dare not say NOW that Court erred in releasing  convict. Indeed, they may even claim that the dead ex PM was a suicide bomber himself who committed suicide by choice. What else if the convicts were innocent? Racial theories argument has deadly racial overtones & racism has been unchecked in India. Judiciary & Executive snoring on a dancing python. To such reckless propaganda, Supreme Court fell to the trap to save its face b

After going through the trauma of spinal fractures & the surgery that followed it was my first visit to Kanchipuram in three years. Earlier I have had extensive contacts for darshan as a government official but this time we decided we will be just another ordinary disciples.  We had one Chandrasekar, a junior employee now retired to guide us to temples. When we reached Kamakshi temple, we found huge crowd of thousands. I was wondering how we will have darshan of Lokamata but was sure that She will find a way for us. I was apprehensive about standing in the queue as I was scared someone might push me and hurt my back inadvertently. As we paused in confusion, I found a friend who is a Judge of Madras High Court entering the temple in all paraphernalia with his family. I thought of shouting out for him but something deep down restrained me. Our chaperone Chandrasekhar made few honest phone calls and took us near the back door VIP entrance where a hundred were waiting for darshan. Sudd

#1 Greet each other like Christians & Muslims do. They say அஸ்ஸலாமு அலைக்கும் or Stotram. Let's say Jai Hind, Vande Mataram, Jai Shri Ram or Shankara or Mamaste or SUBRAPATHAM  #2 Admit Children, grand children in Hindu Schools only. This helps prevent indoctrination against your Religion, your Gods & prevent Love Jihad.   #3 Men should wear விபூதி குங்குமம். Ensure ladies wear குங்குமம். Everyday. It's our cultural identity.  #4 Patronise Hindu owned shops and restaurants. Many unable to stand competition from Minority owned commercial establishments. Please help fellow Hindus.  #5 Non Vegetarian Hindus must avoid halal certified meat. It's a horrible way to kill animals and birds. Strict no to halal food. Halal is exclusive to Muslims.   #6 Please question anyone who tries to mock your 10000 year old heritage or tries to evangelize. Let them know that you are not interested in his hate narrative.   #7 Please do not look down at Castes of Hindu brethren. To be bo

 I was coordinator for a Committee to monitor and control prices of onion and agricultural products set up by Ministry of Food and Consumer Affairs Ministry in 1999 when Vajpayee was the Prime Minister. The Minister Surjit Singh Barnala was the Chairman. The committee had Secretaries from five departments as Members. The committee was set up to enquire and control Prices on the aftermath of high rise in onion prices. Remember, high onion prices later catapulted Congress to Power in Delhi.   Our enquiries proved that in connivance with Mandis in Maharashtra, CongressParty had spent a meager ₹5 crores to buy onion at cheap prices directly from farmers and hoarded them at Mandis leading to an artificial rise in onion prices. Onions were sold for ₹200 per kilo due to this scarcity. They were bought for as less as 50 paise per kilo. Such a small investment brought forth great political rewards for Congress. Just by spending ₹5 crores cleverly, built an artificial scarcity, blamed Vajpaye

It was DMK Leader MK Stalin who recognised this impending defeat of DMK more than any other leader. Other parties were yet to realise that they stand a robust opportunity to have a go at Fort St George, the seat of power in Tamilnadu. While its tougher to regain power after two consecutive defeats for DMK, new parties often have high  energy at birth.  Giving up hope and trust on his own disgruntled cadres including many leaders who were sticking to DMK without choice despite being ill treated by the dynastic family, Stalin chose to opt for professional Election management agency, iPAC. The mind boggling cost of ₹350 crore for the project was based on the past credentials of company. To believe that a corporate agency can be solely be held responsible for BJP's ascendency in 2014 is naive. Modi rode on a wave disgruntled by the arrogance of CongressParty and the n number of scams of UPA. With the same organ running Elections for Congress in UP, Congress was white washed in the stat

A LONELY CRY!  For decades, lead forced life puppet like. Afraid to disagree and was terrorised to agree. At home, Appa was a mix of Communism and EVR chauvinism. Never let me speak as he alone owned facts and opinions. It was no different at work with Government. Forbidden by law to speak in public and discouraged to express independent opinion in private. Never could  speak out convictions or react to issues. All angers, frustrations, insults were swallowed and digested for survival. And when I had temerity to express on rare occasions, was called arrogant, stupid , egoistic and misinformed. For decades could never claim that I was a devout Hindu and that I was proud of my ancestors . When informed that I desired to visit temples, many raised eyebrows. Some even remarked : ”We had thought of you as intelligent. Aren’t you Secular?”. I was tied. Was being Hindu, anti everything? Muslim Saibaba and Mother Mary were close to me. But my Hindu beliefs were derogated as superstit
