is abhishegam really necessary?

Some of Vivek's comedy should really provoke thoughts in people's mind. Example is the "Sangu Saakiyam" Country like India, population is so much and percentage of people under poverty is more. Lot of kids dont even have milk, ghee etc !! In such a scenario, why is still people pouring lot of milk and other stuffs on God statue. Even, if God comes directly, seeing this, he will also ask the same question. I am not against religion or people doing these stuff. I am just thinking, atleast the milk poured on the statue if given to the needed kids, it might get healthy!!! I understand there are some significances for doing abhishekams. However, I cannot convince myself given this scenario!! Dont mistake me and I always wanted to question this and my mind is always having a tough time to accept it, even though I am doing it lot of times against my wish!!!!

Facebook

These days, I am in for Facebook. It is easy to write in one line and your followers are already there to know you. However, in case of a big sentences, we still need blogs. Last month I watched the following movies: 1)Percy Jackson (English) 2)Kula Kulaya mundirika (Tamil - Crazy Mohan dialogue) 3)Avatar (in DVD) 4)Guru Sishyan (Sathyaraj-Sundar) Aiyo marana kadi dont watch it!! also filthy comedies 5)Shutter Island (English in DVD) psycho.. I didnt like it!! 6)Ravaana (in theater) Percy Jackson is for kids. It is a formula driven approach copied from Harry Potter. Hindu religion system is followed. Like Hindu religion follows 5 different gods like Earth, Water, Air, Fire and Space the same kind of system is followed and this guy is a demi-god of water. KKM - watched for Crazy Moha dialogues. It was very good for dialogues. Movie is a kothu. Avatar - already posted comments on this. GS - No need of comments. waste movie wasted my time SI - I think I wasted t...

Casteism

I am not for any caste system. However, I want to point out this!! Yesterday, I was watching Neeya naana program in Vijay TV program. It was between the relation between a Son and a Mother. Lots of mom and son participated. Two caught my attention. One was a brahmin and another was a non-brahmin caste person. When the brahmin lady accepted his son's love towards another caste system lady because she honored her son's feeling and let him marry her even though she didnt like it. On the other hand a non-brahmin caste lady was dead against his son getting married to another caste lady even though his son was so much in love with her!! She is considering her caste to be in the forefront than her son's feeling!! Interesting it shows how the society is today!! and brahmin caste people are considered to be stuborn or rude to others and this "show" shows who is and who isnt!!!!

Flash of thought

This is a strange thing but it happens to me sometimes. I think of an incident for a few seconds and then doesnt too much concentrate on it and jumps to another topic abruptly and after some time I see that incident happening. I realise, oh, I thought about it and why I didnt give too much thinking on it!! however, if I concentrate too much that doesnt happen.. For ex: today when I was driving to work, I was a bit hungry and dont want to goto Maccee as yesterday only I went there! I was just thinking, what if someone brings some breakfast to office.. and then I forgot about it and went with the radio topic thought. To my surprise, in our break room there were doughnuts!! This is not the only incident however, I have had so many in my past..

How life gets affected based on recent incidents!

The recent incident about the Car bomb in Times square by a Pakistani person may affect lot of other innocent Pakistani persons. The problem is if it affects them only, we can understand. However, being Asians, persons here in US, dont understand the difference and they brand all of us (even Indians, Hindus/Jains/Buddhist/Sikhs) and look at us in a suspicious manner. One of my friend told about this incident recently happened to him. He was driving in a car and pulled to the curb nearby in a resident area and was looking at his iPhone for a stock update. He observed the nearby house owner looking at him in a suspicious manner and so he moved some miles away and pulled over and stopped and continued his reading. This guy has followed him. My friend again observed him and hence went to the nearby Sams club and when he came out, he saw two Police cops pulling him aside. Then he has to explain his situation and had to give his Driving license and they had to verify him and the...

Handling People:

Myself and couple of my friends walk in the nearby canal usually in the evening. It is a nice canal, probably a couple of miles in circumference with ducks, gooses and turtles shaded with nice trees and bushes. Only caveat is, I get allergy due to the pesticides. Yesterday evening, I started the chat by quoting on one of my cricket playing member (He is from IIT and IIM). He usually argues everything (which is good and bad). We have given a scorecard to the umpire to score each ball and after 5 over’s or so, when this guy asked the umpire about the score, there was an argument between them on a single run. I told my friend about this and he started talking about the psychology factor. Some guys from great institutions (like IIT and IIM), they behave differently. They don’t accept defeat so easily and sometimes they don’t even care about their silliness behavior and fight for petty things. They also feel they are the superior creatures in this world and the rest others are w...

4 Manny Vaallu - Alociaus - 106.4 fm

Yesterday when I tuned into hello fm 106.4, it was 4 manny vallu Alociaus program going on. He was asking the listeners to call and talk about "Aepom" (a Tamil slang for loosing something, technical meaning is burp, after eating). One guy called and gave a big build-up. Then he talked about what he lost. He lost his new bi-cycle. How: Somebody came and told him that he had a big parcel and he has to come and pick up from the office. I think, in India, usually, from one place to another, they send it by the bus company and the company will let the receiver know. This is a smart way of saving some money for all the parties, sender, receiver and bus companies. I have availed this bus-transporting service. So this guy has fell in this trap. The person took him to a house. There he asked him to wait in the front thinnai (a small place in front of the house) and asked his cycle so that he can go and pick the parcel and tie it in the cycle carrier and bring. Poor ch...
