Jampacked as it might sound!

A good time to welcome namma metro and start dreaming of a jam free city drives. Mostly it remains a dream in our country whatever we invent. There had been in-numerous mentions of car pooling, go green with cycling and what not in last few years. How do we really figure out what is best for us and the environment? How good is the commute and is that really the best we could do for ourselves? It is really not surprising that we end up cursing and bad mouthing all modes of travel in few years whatever we are to invent or discover. This is partly or vastly because of the traffic we end up facing be in inside a train or on road. I don't mean the vehicles but the people. Whole of the Bangalore metro seems to be jam packed during the office hours and weekends, often making me wonder aren't we capable to add more cars to the train or is it just that we are fond of the sweat smelling commute in a jam packed train? Now if we are to add, how many more cars can we add? Can it be ever e...
Whole India caught fire few weeks back when an unfortunate poor little soul was demolished by some ruthless citizens of India. Whole nation fought for her and wanted to see government taking action, people making changes and to witness something significant. I respect all those who fight for her and all those who truly tried to make a change. With all due respect to the judiciary system of my country, do you really think all these changes or amendments are going to help us in making great strides? Have really tried to look at the root of the issue? Maybe yes, our Facebook friends did a great lot on that front. Thought of sharing my take on the issue called RAPE. This is not an issue that we can just like that bring to rest with few amendments and strict rules. It needs careful investigation before we act. Do we think the issue starts with few guys who roam around jobless?

Kerala - a land of mysteries

Kerala a state in India with Arabian sea on onside, western ghats on the other side, filled with backwaters in the center, where every water channel reaches the sea from east to west is really a unique place. It is often called Gods own country. In present world, it presents us with the most peaceful territory where you find many religions - hindu, christian, islam, sikh, jain, jew, parsi, buddhist and others living in Harmony in India with complete cultural freedom. It once boasted of being the sea trade hub of this subcontinent. It won't be an exaggeration to say that all people from this very land pride themselves from being associated with Kerala. Few centuries back, the colonials fought among themselves to get a hold of its wealth and share. One of the territories where the British didn't completely establish themselves as Arabs, Chinese, Portugese, Dutch, French and many more imperialists had already marked Kerala, in their Asian maps. This is also the place where Colum...

Namma Bengaluru

Now that a decade has passed in the garden city, it warrants a space in my blog as I treasure the moments which defined a part of me and my character. When I got the job offer during second year of my college, it was obvious that I would be part of the Chennai office as my seniors and other known beings. This led me to learn Tamil alphabets and prepare for a live in the hot sun which would have been a unembellished thing considering my high humid upbringing. Destiny had a different design for my life which arrived in the form of an offer letter to join the Bangalore office. I had to unlearn all those Tamil letters and words which I had guzzled during my preparations. Bangalore had already earned a notoriety among the people around me those days when people considered it too modern and fast to accept. A city which was destined to affect their children as far as noble parents where considered in those days.Such a thought of the generation induced some fear in my mind but as always ...

Insecure Security Insecure

One of the happiest moments in life for one and all would be when they get the job of their dreams or some job which could enable them to start dreaming. What are these dreams that comes with the job? Nothing that we could see but only feel. Once the job fits in to the life, life becomes all about exploring new destinations, innovating new ways to spend, engaging novel friendships, digging new love affairs, and often leading to move far from parents and near ones. From college life, children get trained to be involved with friends and lead/mislead their life as they chose. It is nothing new that, the whole parenting world expects their future generations to find their way and make their mark in this vast highly competitive world. As days pass-by, the vigour to overpower new technologies, the desire to out-do peers & the natural thirst for newer avenues reduces which triggers the usage of the word settling-in, if you like  at all. Settling-in doesn't mean men has lost his p...

Creativity, Freshness & Piracy

"All men are created equal!" I have passed many man years thinking about the above statement in in-numerous circumstances and wish it would help me out once again in this fascinating world of movies. All men are created equal but we can't defy the different talents that different actors and craftsmen possess in the cinema world. Something that often create an upset while thinking about it is the inequality found in the wages of different artisans in the movie industry. This blog does not offer a conclusive all bells and braces approach to eradicate the inequality but attempts to get the thought provoked. We could guess by now that there would be thousands of movie industries across the globe which might have not provided a fair ground for many whilst providing opportunities to some. Often it is mentioned that most stars had become what they are based for their hard work and deserve the wages that they demand. Most of us would have witnessed hundreds of people losing t...
