I Salute you Kalam

Thanks Kalam

You have made us proud. You are not just great but a gem. You are only one 'Ratna' among the Presidents of India. You are still our President because you will live as the people's president. On Wednesday, I felt that someone from my family is stepping down as President. Big thanks for Dr. Kalam for thinking big and teaching us to do so.

He is the most progressive President we ever had. He is highly educated and worked in the field of improving India's education system. He was an inspiration to all. Having no political background made him different from others. He made many bold decisions against the govt. and supported the truth. I respect him for what he has done as president of India.

A person of his stature, so down to earth and thinking par excellence is unbeatable. He was a really People's President. Dr. APJ Kalam is an excellent dynamic person, who has won billions of Indian heart by his simplicity, knowledge and integrity. If his vision 2020 is implemented, India will be the first country in the world to achieve a major milestone. Hope many such eminent people emerge in India to guide Indian politics. It's a sad feeling that we have not given him a second opportunity to head the country.

It is true that it is because of our dirty politicians, we have missed Kalam's service from the Supreme Post of the Country. Friends, you all have rolled out tears for Kalam. Lets not waste our time. We have to achieve APJ's dream much before 2020. We will do it. Yes undoubtedly.

I salute you Kalam !

Gaganchukki roars back

Gaganchukki and Bharachukki, the twin world famous waterfalls are roaring back with the heavy rain fall in Cauvery basin of Karnataka. And the tourist spot of rainy season is now flooded with the nature lovers. Ltes take a drive to Shivanasamudra, 120 kms away from Bangalore to catch the glorious moments.

The Gaganchukki and Bharachukki Falls are on the Cauvery River after the river has winded its way through the rocks and ravines and drops off to form waterfalls. The river divides in to twin side-by-side falls around the 700-acre picturesque Shivanasamudra Island. On the one side, it forms the Gaganachukki falls and on the other it rumbles down as the Bharachukki falls. The segmented waterfalls has anaverage width of 849 meters, a height of 90 meters. With the Cauvery basin receiving heavy rains, the twin falls have roared back to the glory. When both falls are compared, Gaganchukki falls from very high height than Bharachukki. While Bharachukki falls is quite wider than Ganganachukki.

Cauvery plummets from the height of 190 ft deafening roar to form picturesque Gaganchukki and it flows like 'amritadhara' ( milk river) forming equally impressive Bharachukki. Splendorous scenery also add great taste to your journey. The waterfalls leave a deep impression on all those who have seen them.

The time of best flow are the monsoon season of July to October. And this time you can also enjoy the romance of clouds with the nature accompanied by the showering rains. Therefore, lakhs of people drive here. The count of tourists was 15 lakh in the last season. It may not be exaggeration to say life is beautiful just because of such nature beauties.

You can also visit Shivanasamudra Hydro-electricity project. It is India's first ever hydel-power project. Initiated by the then rulers of Mysore Odeyars, Shivanasamudra provides electricity to Bangalore and Mysore cities. It also played a major role in accelarating Bangalore's growth.

Sachin- bats the critics out

Sachin Tendulkar, The Indian cricketing legend has beesn showing his guts since his first century. It is in Colombo on Sep 9, 94, he blasted his first tonne. ANd in just 13 years, his tonne counts 41 in ODI.

Still the critics are lashing out him. All they wants Sachin to quit the game. But he never reacted to the critics. Instead he chose his bat to answe. That's a legendary player. when he was rested for Banlga tour, every person thought that it is end of sachin era. But in Belfast, Sachin staged a strong comeback. In the second mattch against SA,SAchin roared like he is in 1990's. Many speak that if Sachin hits a century, India loses the match. I suggest those poeople to go through these datas..

He is Himalaya
He is the first batsman to score 10,000 to 15,000 runs in shorter version of the game, Apart from Jayasuriya, no other batsmen has scored 12,000runs in one dayers.

Thanks Sonia, you made us proud !

Sonia Gandhi ! Perhaps no one has misused her/ his power and inability of the Congress- the grand old party of India, like this Rajiv's wife. At first, she established Manmohan Singh as Prime Minister when a coalition government was warranted. By that she posed herself as a great woman and a Tyagi. But, her real face came out when she assumed chairman as all the key committess and councils. She has become Super Prime Minister and mercelessly throwed the dignity of the highest position of the parliament. She put entire state in constitutional danger. Unfortunately, those who were claiming as the savier of the democracy have kept mum on the moves of Sonia Gandhi.

Secon scene of the drama has now began. It seems, she is trying to become 'Super President' by installing a person loyal to her. Believe it, She was not at all interested in nominating a person either is loyal to Congress or loyal to Gandhi-Nehru family. It is clear when we saw the Congress' move on the selection of the presidential candidate. Congress Party's search for the high office was limited to names of those loyal to Sonia Gandhi. Notably, she turned down the name of Pranab Mukherjee in the beginning itself, pehaps on the grounds that he may not shake his head on her guidance. Mukherjee's loyalty to Congress is unquestionable. But she wanted to see her loyale as President after July 24.

Finally, it's Pratibha Patil, the UPA-Left front nominee. If we go by today's situation, she is the frontrunner. And we can see her as first woman as President of India, if no miracle takes place in coming days. The choise of a party worker loyal to one political leader is an unmitigated constitutional risk. Dear friends our country is in danger. Wake up. One constitutional office - Rashtrapathi Bhavan, risks subordination to one person and othe other other confidential office PMO has already turned anaemic. Manmohan Singh is not the choice of people, he is a default Prime Minister who did not contested Lok Sabha election even to ensure people have faith on him. He again chose Rajya Sabha-where his victory was ensured !

Obviously, APJ Abdul Kalam was the first choice of the people. Take any media poll or survey, Kalam has got more than 80 percent votes. But neither Congress / UPA nor Sonia Gandhi have answered for the question -Why not Kalam ? It is clear because, Sonia Gandhi wants to hold two top constitutional chairs unconstitutionally. Thanks Sonia, you made all the Indian's to feel pround for voting Congress to the power in 2004 ! But remember, India or its democracy is not a puppet. You can't play with it as you wish. We have our say and are waiting for coming election. See you there.

Still raining...because...it is Mungaru Male

Why do I feel today that you are only mine.... the beautiful line is translated from Kannada song ...Anisutide yako indu neenene nannavalendu....from Mungaru Male. Mungaru Male means Monsoon rain. It is still raining even after 132 days in 108 screens acrooss the state. If you want to see a different world famous Jog falls, then you have to watch this movie. It is wonder full.

There has been a perception among cine-lovers that Kannada movies have, of late, become nothing but a heady mix of obscenity and crime. No longer is Sandalwood ruled by films that uphold family values, social values or spiritual values. Even the producers and directors rely on 'flesh and blood' for the success of their movies. As said by someone, nothing sells better that flesh and blood in today's world.


But Mungaru Male' (Monsoon Showers) has really ushered in a new hope not only among the Kannada cine-lovers but even in the Kannada film industry.Except Anant Nag, all faces are new to the big screen. But the melodious songs and creativity of the director Yogaraj Bhat have created kind of magic. Moreover, most of the scenes have been shot in the monsoon rain in and around picturesque Sakleshpur in Hassan and in Kodagu district.


Thanks to the movie makers....

Lets have more such movies... because it is not just a film but a visual poetry

Paint the tainted

It's shocking ! A large number of tainted candidates are contesting election for Uttar Pradesh Elections. I wonder, how a Chief Minister can admit the truth. But Mulayam Singh did so. Perhaps he is the only UP leader to admit that their party has fielded muscle-men. Astonishingly, Mulayam also asked the voters to pardon 'criminal candidates' and send them to Assembly. Isn't it a shame for us ? Unfortunately, no other party has showed the guts to admit their mistake. But, at the same time, Mulayam should not be excused for merely admitting the mistake.

Because it is not just a mistake, but a great sin, I feel so. If you differ in my opinion...it is left to you. Friends, it is high time to think and teach lessons to the politicos. Dont we get 400 free and fair candidates in UP or 500 plus candidates in India after having 100 crore population. It is time to wake up and announce a war against this attitude. We dont want such candidates to rule such a big huge and upcoming super power. Dear Kalamji....your dream of super power are ruining under your own rule. Please do something to save the country from the hands of these corrupt and criminal candidates. We are with you.
