<br />
Mams, why did the pangs of death snatched away your life so young? You had so many plans for your family and business, then, why did you go?<br />
<br />
You have always been considerate and caring of others. I know how painful it will be for a child without a loving father around, like I went through without my mother.<br />
<br />
Words are failing to express our grief and sorrow. Your memories are daunting and will be always etched in my mind, till I come up one day to tell you how good and compassionate you were despite the challenges and familial indifferences you had to deal with.<br />
<br />
Rest in peace.<br />
<br />
Fondly yours,<br />

<br />
How it is wonderful to talk to you in this New Year 2014. With the eve celebrated in all gratitude, with few colleagues, and driving to Mysore, it was happiest occasion to get started with the crackers fillip up the skies of Malleshwaram. How amazing the paddy fields with the rising sun, breath-taking countrysides, threshing women, the drying fields far off, landscapes intermittent with the water flowing rivulets of Kaveri then and there. Stopping by at Balmuri water tank was nice, seeing few visitors on coracles rounding about in the water, and the slippery check dam brimming with the swimmers diving around. As I stepped onto the wall the overflowing waters retreated back on my legs with the droplets clutching on my feet, as if they are greeting me to drag me out!<br />
<br />
As I entered the zoo, Giraffe stood motionless, and so was I, and my friends had problems that I am not catching up with them. When a heavily expectant Elephant stood before the visitors, ahh, that was awesome. Mysore Zoo is too good of all the zoos I have been to in South India with the heat scorching at noon. Informative guides and exotic species of animal friends -- and most attraction of the visit was Cape Buffaloes, Giraffes, and African Elephants. Seeing them seemed like, as though they parted from the continental drift and reached the Indian subcontinent, even as the feeling the African forest landscapes fill your mind, mainly the wildebeest migration phenomenon, heart-wrecking and heart-touching reunion stories. Well, here is the fotos.<br />

It was a wonderful to breath fresh air at Bannerghatta Biological Park, Bangalore, during a brief visit. Wow, the reptiles, aves, and mammals are amazing, though living in enclosures:) Being an Elephant lover and of course bovines, for me getting touched by the mammoth was a thrilling experience. Home to quite a lot of animals of wildlife in Karnataka in and away from the Park -- Bannerghatta, away from city outskirts and to the adjacent forests provides a wonderful living for these animals, more so naturally. This is a quite contrasting to the Neheu Zoological Park in Hyderabad -- and the mountainous terrains of Hyderabad in terms of vegetation and upkeep. </div>

I can't forget the date because i suffered from viral fever and hospitalised after her funeral last year. She was mother of ten, and a very nice lady. I always felt her warmth. As a boy growing up in front of her, i always admired her care and how she reared the cattle, chicken and the village household. Granny your voice is reverberating, as i recall you. Granny, I miss you so much - at least for fairness sake - had you been there - we would not have been dealt unfairly.<br />
<br />
Two of her married daughters ended up with drunkard husbands, unfortunately, one among the two is my mom. My grandparents thought they were destined that they will suffer like this, even though i am not sure, if my grandpa also had the same opinion. After 8 months of grandma's death, my maternal uncles, divided the value of inheritance. The total worth of properties runs in many hundred thousands of rupees, while my mom's value was Rs. 40000, and so was the other aunty who also died in 2005. Everyone is certain that their lap is full, why to care for these voiceless people - who too are destined to be suffering. Why are people are unfair, man? Here the question is my uncle and aunts owns many lakhs of worth properties in town and God has blessed them well and that they are living off well, still does not want to spare a reasonable amount for us. I am not jealous of their properties, but i am angry that they they were not fair. Never have the heart to see what the children go through without parents. Let's see what time will tell. One year has passed away, thank God for enabling to tolerate this, and I am getting over, and please strengthen me. The height of all this is how quietly the entire family members taken their share citing this and that for this value for my family! Well done, guys and keep up the good work.

you lent your ears for me <br />
you touched the lives of many in need <br />
a valiant hero, indeed <br />
<br />
When i was desolated <br />
in durance of despair <br />
you breathed a new lease of life <br />
into me <br />
<br />
when i opened my eyes<br />
you were there for me<br />
there you got hold of me <br />
my life made sense to me <br />
<br />
When you came into <br />
my life <br />
what good did i do<br />
deserving to be in your care <br />
<br />
As the gentle breeze <br />
soothes the soul <br />
so did you <br />
as good as a gentleman <br />
charismatic, witty and cheerful<br />
<br />
You stand there like <br />
a beacon of light <br />
shining around <br />
polishing my future <br />
<br />
When i look back at you <br />
how previleged i am <br />
I bow down to touch your feet <br />
and that what a great blessing, awe-inspiring you are!!!Preedip Balaji Babuhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17788838257178723629noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2513184387499837494.post-13604610021926956042012-06-16T04:15:00.000-07:002012-06-16T04:15:31.645-07:00On a Cloudy Bangalore...<style type="text/css">

<br />
....but to remember it was a sin to kill a mockingbird<br />
I reckon because mockingbirds don't do anything but<br />
make music for us to enjoy <br />
they don't eat people's gardens <br />
don't nest in the corncribs <br />
they don't do one thing, but just sing their hearts out for us <br />

the Moon smiled at me with a crescent-face<br />
as the breeze air cool me<br />
i started pondering<br />
<br />
The rustling of leaves<br />
broke my silence<br />
as i looked back<br />
i saw you walking past <br />
<br />
When the leaves withering<br />
so did my hope<br />
when the whirlwinds carried me away<br />
i was lost far away<br />
<br />
You stood there awe-inspiring <br />
with a radiant face<br />
you took the path less-travelled<br />
with determination and perseverance <br />
<br />
As we saw the snail<br />
finding its way through the woods<br />
you said to me<br />
i am born to win<br />
<br />
If anything i would die for<br />
your company all my life<br />
if everything i wish ever<br />
to step into your shoes<br />
<br />
As often as i think you<br />
my eyes are welling<br />
in gratitude in love<br />
with overwhelming feelings of admiration<br />

Happy birthday Ma.Preedip Balaji Babuhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17788838257178723629noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2513184387499837494.post-29285143240953590892011-08-29T04:04:00.000-07:002011-08-29T04:04:30.880-07:00Disruptive Corruption!As the uprising of the people across the India and overseas won the battle against corruption, what it means for a commoner? Everyday when you see the bus conductor not issuing (refusing) ticket for the next bus stop, when there is no bill issued for photocopies taken in college, when the repeated calls to attend the sanitary line is left to stinking - all these are fangs of corruption and heights of inordinate morals and delays calling for public accountability and being conscientious. Are not they? <br />
<br />
We have a long go for a conscientious Indian, especially in the government sector. Every time you step into a government office, you know how the offices work, deliver things and its transparency level. And the people mind has either ingratiated or buy things for money including jobs! If the system is totally rotten, its people who are equally blamable too! People who do not know - what to do, lack of awareness and knowledge, whom to approach etc end up involving middlemen or paying bribes for getting the work done. The ordeals that you go through when you end up with government officials for getting a certificate issued is the most deplorable!<br />
<br />
These should change, if this has to change, we the people should not take and give bribes, whatever may come! I stand for formative, upright and righteous nation, do you!Preedip Balaji Babuhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17788838257178723629noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2513184387499837494.post-81101136555394754082011-07-03T05:19:00.000-07:002011-07-12T04:05:43.815-07:00Great Pillars To Lean On!<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">When life was hopeless<br />
It was my blight<br />
When I am helpless<br />
It became my plight!<br />
<br />
When avalanches of life took over<br />
Nobody dared to care<br />
The tribulations were everywhere<br />
To protect me nowhere<br />
<br />
As I lay motionless<br />
I looked out for light!<br />
To lit my life fearless<br />
Keeping it to be bright!<br />
<br />
As I was crying<br />
With problems untold<br />
Why it had happened?<br />
If at all to me alone!<br />
<br />
As I started to feel numb<br />
It seemed it is end<br />
My life is stumped<br />
Right here upend <br />
<br />
As the days passed by<br />
I was groaning<br />
As the tears rolled by<br />
I heard a soothing voice<br />
<br />
As I lay bemoaning<br />
I saw your face like fire!<br />
When I struggled to open my eyes<br />
You took me on your hands!<br />
<br />
When you looked at me<br />
I sensed your grace<br />
When you embraced me<br />
I felt your warmth!<br />
<br />
When you stroke my hair<br />
I am no longer in despair!<br />
When you healed my wounds<br />
You nursed it with affection!<br />
<br />
When you bound me with cords of love<br />
I would not have felt anything better<br />
When you kissed at my forehead<br />
All my troubles flew away overhead <br />
<br />
All I am today you provided for<br />
Completely unexpected!<br />
How would I go astray<br />
While I think of you all day long!<br />
<br />
The world had sidestepped me <br />
Forced it was meant to be <br />
But you made me to stand out with poise<br />
To rise above with fortitude!<br />
<br />
When I was wretched <br />
You came to me stretched<br />
You allayed my fears<br />
There are no more tears <br />
<br />
I think of you in gratitude<br />
However, high I may go in altitude <br />
You made my life certitude <br />
And it became my attitude!<br />
<br />
I would not ask anything else<br />
But you nearby all time along!<br />
I wish to take after you forever<br />
To be compassionate as you are!<br />
<br />
I bow down <br />
In front of God for you<br />
When I look up<br />
I plead to bless you<br />
<br />

</div><div class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-IN">What's surprising more the importance of libraries play in the country: the infrastructure of libraries, cooperation and resource sharing are terribly awesome. The warmth and brotherhood among librarians is something that we should learn, which I observed in the 100.

Social security for all, senior centres for elderly people and law enforcement are exceptionally good.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Public transportation is well-planned that you don't get in longer traffics, and modes of transportation also keep people comfortably moving without chaos.

Snow-capped mountains, clean and tidy places, beautiful cattle, wonderful landscapes, serene mountains and secluded places make it a nice place to long for and live in.<br />
<br />
Near the Lac de Neuchatel there was a beautiful, spectucular fire fighters brigade from various locations. The autobahn has been smooth, and traveling is less chaotic in trains. With sunny weather around, the days were very good and enjoyable. I liked the green lush pastures, and cows very much that they yield not less then 7 to 14 liters each when i visited a farmer's house. And how i observed the government servants are closely liaising for the people! On the boat in Lake Zug there was a Swiss Army music band performing instrument music, a good entertainment. <br />
<br />
Mount Rigi, Lake Zug, Zurich, Geneve, Rolle, Trin are the various places I said hello during my stay. I am very fortunate to be there, as there were days in my life when I wondered, if at all possible to make it. There are so many differences between India and European countries, the automated way of living and well-organized culture are pertinent to note. Thanks to my sponsors. Hope you would see the pictures in my Facebook. <br />
<br />
Have a good time!</div>Preedip Balaji Babuhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17788838257178723629noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2513184387499837494.post-8421201335320356112011-04-14T08:19:00.000-07:002011-04-14T08:25:02.369-07:00AN ANGEL OF LIFE...<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><span style="font-size: medium;">The waters were tumultuous <br />
Lights were twinkling <br />
The waves were engulfing <br />
As we remained blinking<br />
<br />
Sorrows were hemming in <br />
Nobody was hearing our pleas<br />
Misery was all around </span><br />
<span style="font-size: medium;">Was it the end of life<br />
<br />
Sun was let go down<br />
Life stood wretched <br />
The boat of life in toss<br />
When our soul in loss <br clear="all" /><br />
Then you appeared<br />
Like an angel from heaven <br />
When we opened eyes to see you <br />
It couldn't be better <br />
<br />
When we were crying<br />
You've wiped our tears<br />
When we were falling <br />
You were there to lean on <br />
<br />
As the days dawning <br />
Your face was gleaming<br />
When we afraid to let go of fearing<br />
You shone like a bright star<br />
<br />
When our spirits dying down <br />
Shining like a floodlight, you lifted us up<br />
You had lit our lives<br />
Our hope for lives is never burned up <br />
<br />
When you held our hands<br />
We wish always that it meant to be </span><br />
<span style="font-size: medium;"><span class="il"></span>Give us a warm hug<br />
To be lasting forever in your warmth<br />
<br />
A Godsend angel on our way<br />
Your prayers were always a boon <br />
Such an consolation <br />
In times of affliction and desolation<br />
<br />
We are always indebted <br />
With gratefulness etched in our memories<br />
Expressed through our hearts<br />
O, how grateful we are, though!</span><br />

<br />
With the dust swirling in the air for political parties for electioneering, the manifestos badly reflect the lack of long-development of states of India. We don't need no more freebies, we need the good governance combined with farsightedness. Please don't make us lazier with your freebies and we don't want creating endowments with your family-owned money, giving freebies for garnering votebanks all we need is the duties you have to perform as a responsible politician living up to the mark.<br />
<br />
In the name of freebies we are already spoilt enough. See the free televisions distributed in Tamil Nadu. Even in-laws in the family to whole families have 2 to 3 TVs now. Community toilets, public libraries, upgrading primary schools to higher level, promoting research in language development, transparency in administration are need of the hour. What irritates more when you see the channels boasting that under this so-called "government rule" the state was shining and progressed! The ground reality can be seen if you visit the nearby primary-school infrastructure, the cleaniless of public convenience, working conditions of public library and this list is of course endless! There needs to be a desensitisation as to performance NOT MONEY matters must be carried out among the general public. This is one of the crucial area that people are failing for years not choosing the person who would deliver for them!<br />
<br />
Dynastic politics, indifferent attitudes, coalition powers, mushrooming political parties and divisions are often give a backseat in development not progress. Although Electoral officials are doing a good job through electronic media in 2011, this elections are to be watched as to how far the law enforcement is maintained where cash-prone votes are dominant. <br />

<br />
Gutan tag!<br />
<br />
Recently, when my brother married, we all relatives went to have feast at my sister-in-law's house in a village. After learning that there is no toilet we were shocked. Then we told the aunty at the home, if there is no toilet we will never come again. I think she built the toilet, but i never visited again! With elections round the corner, its time that we should vote for politicians who have toilets as party symbols and who constructs toilets at nook and corners of India, so to say for the swelling population!<br />
<br />
It's big inconvenience for the general public that we don't have public toilets maintained. Once we step out of the workplace or house, with the sorry state of affairs, one like as if there is no urine bladder in the digestive system in our bodies. If pedestrian rights are denied in India, toilets are another dimension widely neglected for public. As a person i have travelled across widely on jobs and during college, toilets are the dreadful places to visit. Men everywhere holding up can be seen, on the railway tracks you can see in the morning if you are travelling people dutifully paying their respects on the tracks! There must be stringent laws that all the federal and state and private organisations\institutions should allot a portion of their land for public inconvenience, where public gather say near bus stops, circles and the workers should be well paid. These places can be best utilised, as they remain lifeless for ages, it would greatly help the passers-by who long for neat toilets. People at the toilets charge you for 1 to 2 rupees but the cleanliness of the toilets are unbearable. And whoever litter the public places should be punished. <br />
<br />
If there is urgency to help oneself in the public places, where will people go in the absence of toilets. Although NGOs are doing their best like Sulabh International, the activism of governments on this front pathetically low. So, we should decide if our MLA\MP\ or whomsoever build the community toilets for us, we should vote for him. With the kind of education we are offering, our children too grew up throwing wastes, and urinating everywhere. Is not it our duty to sensitise our children? <br />
<br />
Equally responsible are both politicians and public. Get money for voting someone who will never visit again. The level of responsibility we show towards the development of country is really worrisome. Get paid and get doomed too! Wherever we are not sensitised the backlash is to borne by us only. </div>Preedip Balaji Babuhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17788838257178723629noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2513184387499837494.post-55344365798559930782011-02-01T16:02:00.000-08:002011-02-01T16:02:32.534-08:00HE AND SHE AND IN BETWEEN<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"> <style type="text/css">

</style> <br />
<div align="JUSTIFY" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman,serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Is there any human being or living form growing in between the he and she, as many may put you in between scorning you about your mannerism and all? If I ask this to a biologist he would shrug off: yes there are. Scientific community could go on to describe the conduct and behaviour of this group of humans. Society can prove that there are hermaphrodites and they are epicene. The world does not stop here building it up with whatever ways it can to describe this precious life – being between him and her. </span></span> </div><div align="JUSTIFY" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"><br />
</div><div align="JUSTIFY" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman,serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Do you wonder whom I am talking about? Many a times we just despise this group mocking them without conscience for what they are. One should always understand their nature and this kind of every natural birth-simply they are humans, who cannot either digest it to themselves throughout their lives nor can reveal their feelings to others! This article does not support any bisexual practice nor approve the growing customs like civil partnership among same sex people, LGBT here. In the earlier decades by countryside, they would perform for both male and female roles in the cultural programmes throughout the night entertaining with elan, which still continues, especially in south India. Nowadays they become a group of people, who do not work anymore, but can be seen in street corners and railway sojourns asking money from others? Some countries have legalized this community and in many others they are approved. In the developed countries the people of the same sex are getting recognized and lead their lives as any normal other couple does. In India, transgender community is growing as you see them along the railways, at traffic signals and in metro cities, unfortunately are not visible in formal workplace settings. Does our society, policymakers and government recognize them, or do we ever care about why they are leading a life like this? Often they may try to be different as ordinary others are, want to learn new and experiment things but could not in many spheres of life both physically and mentally. Many a times they may feel this will be okay, as we grow older, but does the society recognize and understand as they grow along?</span></span></div><div align="JUSTIFY" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"><br />
</div><div align="JUSTIFY" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman,serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"> </span></span> </div><div align="JUSTIFY" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman,serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Whatever it takes this is neither their mistake nor the curse they are imposed! What mistake did they do to born like this? Is it their destiny or their parents’ mistakes are the questions propping up often? These God’s own people are the voices who are hardly heard, often exploited and never treated with dignity as individuals as they are. As a person every individual has the right to lead life with dignity and his\her individuality is unique in this universe. If we agree to this, let us accept them instead of passing lewd comments and abusing them. If we think we are macho men and beautiful women let us don’t take pride at scorning others about their behaviour and conduct.

If you ask yourself often, why did I born, you should meet these privileged people and interact with them. Life is full of reckoning and has so much of surprises in store for you. Never ever allow these things let down your spirit. You are special in this world, and are born to win.</span></span></div><div align="JUSTIFY" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"><br />

When will we lessen the trauma that they are undergoing? Psychologically, as many of us would have studied the approach towards the afflicted people should be first to understand their nature not what they become, but how they born with inherent natural qualities. They need our warmth and love, let us never hurt them, even if we cannot help them. But causing pain is worse, no matter if we are not helping them.</span></span></div></div>Preedip Balaji Babuhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17788838257178723629noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2513184387499837494.post-16716614897609532542011-01-05T11:19:00.000-08:002011-01-05T11:19:31.416-08:00Super - Movie ReviewHaving much on my plate to work, I dared to spend a little amount of time off the routines last weekend. To my surprise, the whole theater was full to catch up with happening Kannada movie - 'Super' directed by Mr. Upendra. I overheard that he has directed this movie after a brief hiatus. <br />
<br />
Barring the interrupting songs, which is part and parcel of Indian cinema, the movie was racy, with the struggles India faced for independence. Comedians have tickled the bones often to laugh out. After a 9 months stay at IT city of India, this is my first out with a Kannada cinema. How many similarities do Kannada have with other Dravidian and national languages, but much of the disharmony, language politics, and regionalism are due to the current politics, playing in spoiling the harmony, we ought to have.<br />
<br />
Well, lets get back to the highlights. Amid the romantic, and hyped up run-of- the-mill movies, i liked the movie, specially for the below:<br />
<ol><li><b>Plastosphere:</b> Anywhere, everywhere and anyhow plastic worlds of urban India. With no strategic plan by municipalities, plastics are free to watch everywhere. Let wait for few more years, no wonder we will have <b>plastosphere</b>. Really soring, huh!</li>
<li><b>Corruption</b>: . Today, to get the work done in India, we have cough up bucks, right from childbirth to the end. When there will the transparency in government delivery machinery? </li>
<li><b>Laxity and No Accountability: </b>The message was lucid and clearly said, no one cares for other, and society. If all of us, don't raise to the occasion, we have to imagine, how pathetic we will be!</li>
</ol>Thanks for this movie!Preedip Balaji Babuhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17788838257178723629noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2513184387499837494.post-39443768403809743432010-12-19T09:58:00.000-08:002010-12-19T09:58:29.984-08:00At the Crossroads of Divisive PoliticsHow divisive we are yaar at politics? Having a multiparty system at the helm of affairs is good, but fighting at each other resulting in not-so fruitful results is a worrisome trend in India. I always wondered when will we have a 2 party system or parties at regional level but efficient machineries in delivery of citizen services. Mr. Jahan Mohan Reddy has split up in Andhra Pradesh; in Tamil Nadu actors Mr. Sarath Kumar and Vijaya Kanth have found their own parties. If everybody goes off founding parties, are we partitioning our India with divisive ideologies and manifestos, of which many failed at the political boxes in delivery. Even, many these so-called luminaries are starting off their television channels, often biased views with no public intentions in mind. OMG, when this will change. Right from municipalities to state governments have been successively failing to deliver common services in basic areas -education, health care, public libraries and environment protection etc., In the light of above, if each leader dissent and founds a new party, when will we achieve the most ruminated topic in our politics "inclusive growth" at least before we die! Each political party goes to erect its flagpoles and hoisting its own flags, how many parties we have got, unnecessarily. This is just the height of indifferences we have that is the root cause, so to say! You know, we have been very good at pulling each others leg at the cost of not allowing to grow for a healthier tomorrow. Many people who are in the politics switch over the loyalties during their stints between major parties, what saddening is they dissent a found new party.Preedip Balaji Babuhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17788838257178723629noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2513184387499837494.post-77742073675955939132010-11-27T04:27:00.000-08:002010-11-27T04:27:47.417-08:00Vagaries in Weather and LifeAt last, my brother's marriage is over, as solemnized on 8th November, 2010. His marriage can't be forgotton as the skies have openen up genorously over the eve. Thankfully, things worked out in spite of the day long rain. <br />
<br />
You know, having faced many hurdles to reach this level in our lives, this is a great moment to see my brother at wedlock. Dinesh, i wish you a happy married life. <br />
<br />
Coming to the general custom of marriage, oh, my God, they would not let you sleep the marriage. It was an exhaustive process, so to say...you have to receive the guests, arrange the accomodation, food, music...,appa it was really bending up! Meanwhile i lost my wallet, someone masterminded lifting that, its gone... At the research front, i have been toiling with a paper in hand fine-tuning? Long but's fun... Looking forward to January..2011. <br />
<br />
I was at Syndicate Bank, before the teller. I asked him whether i can have ID & password for Internet Banking in English. He was not responding, then neglecting me, while others were noticing, he murmured...What this guy is talking in English... I went to Branch Manager, he simply ignored my request? Is this bank show responsiveness..? <br />
<br />
The weather has been sleepy, so did i am and the days are shorter. But it is getting colder yar, than the Hyderabad. Hey Sun, will you show off please, keep all the vagaries away, also take note of mine.Preedip Balaji Babuhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17788838257178723629noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2513184387499837494.post-2624698525079225482010-11-14T08:19:00.000-08:002010-11-27T04:00:30.266-08:00Phir MilengeToday is a sad day to me, as a good companion of mine at ISI, BC left for joining a job at NIO, Goa. A soft-spoken Mithun was a nice and good friend, never seen him getting angry of my 7 months association with him. A good Hindi teacher to me, no pun intended, i am not sure whether i never took advantage of him. I felt like i am losing a right arm of mine. As a predecessor in the fellowship programme, he should have completed the PhD, but a career in middle has changed his future. As am writing this sitting in the desk near his table is looking empty. It would take really a hard time to get over this. <br />
<br />
But, Mithun I wish you a great career and all your heart desires to come true. We all at ISI, BC will miss you a lot. We all look forward to hear from you that you settle down soon.Preedip Balaji Babuhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17788838257178723629noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2513184387499837494.post-39860617290174794212010-11-09T08:34:00.000-08:002010-11-09T08:34:55.755-08:00Palar flows - So do my thoughtsOh my God! It was raining Dogs and Cats. I and Nilesh used this expression sometime back during the monsoon season in Bangalore. But when i spent this weekend during Dinesh's marriage I literally witnessed it. <br />
<br />
Started at an early morning on Sunday 7th November, 2010 as the weather was predicted, skies went crazy with heavy downpour all day long. I had to make all arrangement for the marriage in the dreching rain, thankfully uncles, cousins and the whole family members were extremely supportive. <br />
<br />
I am very glad that the "Palar" river which starts its journey from bordering Andhra Pradesh with its tributaries flows through Vaniyambadi was in spate with running water. Just a day back, when i was pedalling my way on the river bridge, i felt that this river should be like that of Kaveri flowing perennially. And a day after i see it, I cannot imagine it. I think this rain would at least stop some drinking water woes now, and increase in water level across the region. <br />
<br />
Vaniyambadi town is well surrounded by many hills - Yelgiris, Javad and many others, known for its leather based products and prickling heat and for the gourmets not to forget the Yuppy Biryani. Though, the summer is highly warm, the winter too is so cold. If more trees are planted, people are more sensisitized, the environmental issues can be sorted out. I become somehow allergic to plastic covers, anywhere, everywhere and anyhow plastics. Why don't we stop using plastics, and replace some eco-friendly bags - Jutebags etc. <br />
<br />
It was a very nostalgic moment to me to have all the relatives for the marriage, as well as the mother Palar flows in spate so did was my heart with joy. Two days without sleep and all the tiredness have gone when i seen the waters flowing through the river. <br />
<br />
The past Diwali entertainment content on TVs was full of CINEMA, CINEMA, and CINEMA. I think we live, eat, breathe, and will die for films and cinema based news. Turn the TV on any festival season, i can bet you 90% of the programmes are movies. OMG, how crazy we are to movies, forgetting the development, cleanliness and social interaction. This should change. Don't we have anything else on this earth to delibrate and speak about? Even some channels relay how the movie was made, what the hell this segment will benifit anyone who does not have proper food, ailing and need help. The degree of pollution that we make on Diwali is extremely adverse to ecosystem as well as to our own self. Who cares?Preedip Balaji Babuhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17788838257178723629noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2513184387499837494.post-67631025880728433202010-10-21T11:39:00.001-07:002010-10-21T11:39:18.844-07:00Open Access Week-McGill University<object style="height: 390px; width: 640px;"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/y9Jh_GffRPU?version=3"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"><param name="allowScriptAccess" value="always"><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/y9Jh_GffRPU?version=3" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowfullscreen="true" allowScriptAccess="always" width="640" height="390"></object>Preedip Balaji Babuhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17788838257178723629noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2513184387499837494.post-23511588903517884092010-09-20T10:03:00.000-07:002010-09-20T10:08:06.296-07:00Stay Tuned - You're Born to WinLife throws lot of surprises and its share of sad moments too, unexpectedly, nah. At times, when we are down, we don't know what to do next when the problems are neck-deep we would feel to pull out our hair. The kind of crucial dilemmas, here or there, social forces and the family pressures all create an atmosphere where our integrity and patience are tested, our decisions more importantly affected. Sometimes, people around are so selfish, and unreasonable that we are very much pressurized. The decision that we make largely depends on the kind of people influence us around. Then, think about the people who grew up without parents, this category i am belonging to. Though, i have my own share of such circumstances, i have learnt it hard along the way to be focused:<br />
<ol><li><b>Remain positive:</b> this is one thing difficult to accept when we are utterly let down. But staying positive, thinking in a 'its good' approach, would help us to take on life more confidently and boldly. After all, life is too short to negate.</li>
<li><b>Mingling with buddies:</b> friends are the best resources on the earth, God had reserved them for us. Whenever i am in dilemmas - what to do? how to go about? where to start? it has been always the roads to friends. Friends never grudge, uh. Do you?</li>
<li><b>Turn to be a happy freak</b>: facing worries and difficult times should not always end up being a worrywart. Be cheerful, and happier, grateful for what you are today. After all, you are here on this day alive, because you are destined to be, marching for a good time and tidings!</li>

<br />
Amid all the run of the mill movies releasing often, this one comes as a refreshing story, stroking you gently to the edge of your seat to think about the issues of farming and farmer lives in India. For any movie buff, this is something a reality check of agrarian crisis - India has been undergoing in the past years.<br />
<br />
Brief story: <br />
<br />
The lead protagonists - the farmers rumored to be dying for their unpaid loan, have not taken their lives. As the government is giving money for the died farmers because of debts, damage to corps etc, they hatch a plan of killing themselves, but it never happens. In the meanwhile, they caught up in the political and local leaders net, who mishandle them, while the government is mulling over industrialization. The starving media want to catch this story somehow- as this is a story of the live dying farmer. Neatly set in a Raisen district in Madhya Pradesh this film is taking you through the day to day activities of the farming, rustic life moments and the demeanour. <b>The climax ends with the lead farmer migrating to city for masonry work, leaving behind his farming. </b><br />
<br />
A wonderful picture, it deserve kudos for the message it carries out saying from 1991-2001 alone, 8 million farmers left farming, according to census 2001 report. This is a very alarming development crying for immediate action, for the developing country like ours. A known saying in Tamil comes to mind, which goes as:<br />
<br />
If a farmer does not put his leg in the farmland<br />
We cannot put our hands in our food-plates! <br />
<br />
As the urbanization, and white collar jobs swelling enormously in cities, the countryside jobs are losing their sheen and glamour. Adding to the woes are failing rains, calamities and climate change etc. Lets hope that the government uphold the pro-agriculture policies, and execute programmes in the larger interest of agriculture, lest we may end up with the computers on our food-plates, as many believe that technology will feed us!Preedip Balaji Babuhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17788838257178723629noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2513184387499837494.post-62235195008323190272010-08-11T12:24:00.000-07:002010-08-22T08:28:34.309-07:00Nagaraj NaiduAttended the first death anniversary of maternal grandpa at Timmampet, a beautiful village bordering Andhra Pradesh, off 12 kms from Vaniyambadi, Vellore. I remember him as a very industrious and nice guy. He was a father of 11 children, a fatherhood feat nobody can imagine of today. We are not able to manage even 2 kids, how grandparents would have managed and adjusted raising 11 children. With aunts and relatives gathering to remember him and wailing, it was a day down to memory lane.<br />
<br />
As a grandchild i have observed grandpa, who lived it up with huge family and seen great grandchildren, i admire him more for his attitudes and qualities. I happened to read a post card written by granddad to my paternal granny, after marriage of my mom in 1981. I found it very interesting that the concerns he had for everyone in the in-laws family. <br />
<br />
Firstly, i have to thank granddad, for having educated me through CMS. I can't really thank him enough, though! In a parent meet in the year 2000, when he stood at the podium addressed the gathering with a classic 'namaskaram' everyone were in splits. Then, everybody turned to me and repeated namaskaras, which i cherish now.<br />
<br />
The unfortunate demise of his 2 daughters at a tender age would have left him more agonizing. My mom, 32 years, died of illness, unable to bear an alcoholic addicted husband. And my buoyant aunt Humsa in her forties, died of fire-burns set by her own husband, who was also an alcoholic.<br />
<br />
During the eve of the anniversary, I was lying in the hall, while cousins and others were also with me on the front yard of the granddad's house, which lost the glory after granddad's death. As i was gazing the star-studded open sky, the moonlight was reflecting on the moving fronds of the coconut trees in the cool air. The people who were more of agrarian then, have cultivated these plants, raised children and then were in a good society. Remembering the Kadapa slab in the left corner of the hall, where the grandpa used to sleep, i imagined as if grandpa was there. My sister-in-law and aunt, were sleeping on the corner of the hall beside us. Hearing this, at once, aunt and sister-in-law left hall getting frightened by my words. Now things have changed dramatically with increasing urbanization and white collar jobs. As i walk through the Coconut and Mango grooves, it reminds of his laborious years to cultivate them. As i stay outside hometown, i always long and feel that this is place i wanted to live in, or the granny's lap i wish to lean my head. <br />
<br />
Many problems on the rise of distributing or inheriting the properties. We as responsible children should learn to behave fairly and treat the women heirs on par with male inheritors; taking care of aging parents with the due concerns, avoiding the property disputes, preserving the ancestral properties from pollution, especially plastics, that is where we are going to retain the names of our ancestry. <br />
<br />
Granddad, may your soul rest in peace. We all miss you so much, maybe one day will turn up to the place you are right now to say hello. Until then, keep blessing us.Preedip Balaji Babuhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17788838257178723629noreply@blogger.com0
