RAJKUMAR RATHORE

AUR REVOIR...Folks

MYTH BUSTERS!!!

For all those who are open mouthed with wonder at IIT/IIM wallas, here is a mythbuster. They are just hardworking strudents who know how to work hard and not geniuses.Just look at world forbes list top 10 world richjest persons .You wont find IIM guy there. Laxmimittel is not from IIM , but he is the one of the richest guy so is not ambani for whom many IIM guys work fer...I dont believe education is required fer making riches . Basic education ..maybe ..but look at all those barons who made quite a sum from marwari gujurathi, rajastani guys ...they are hardly educated . but they are born entrepreneurs...

Look at Nobel prize winners every year ..so far not even a single IITan won prize.The only physict who won from India was CVRaman that too in pre independence era when infrastructure and information is heavily scarce ..ISRO is one of the worlds top centres fer space research and here is aa quote from its Director Madhavan Nair

My best engineers are not from IIT but from MIT..Its high time to move beyond academic limitation

Heres one more chilli cracker .When entire India, rich n nouveau riche protested against OBC (mind u i dont belong to obc) resevation, how come not a single person of AIIMS who have donned the coat of justice and equality came out to protest against Management Quota seats?..Isnt that as well a kind of reservation? IF they are sentinals of equality how come they never cared to remove racial segregationthats flourishing in their campuses?. Why do all those low caste students are ghettoised in one corner of hostels? why are they not allowed to mix with others and be party of mainstream? the fear is so much i campus that when govt of indiaconducted an inquiry , chairman of commission had to visit hostellers in middle of night..Set up to investigate the caste bias allegations at the All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS) here, the three-member committee was headed by the University Grants Commission chairman Sukhadeo Thorat. It said caste discrimination are evident in the institute’s assessment system and in the hostel and campus life.

So who is fair and who is not ...isnt hypocrisy of highest order clearly prevalent ?....

Shivaji -The Boss

SHIVAJI – THE BOSSA new wave of Tsunami has struck this Friday. Unlike earlier killer one, this one was predictable and was more welcomed than the previous one. With one stroke it has washed everything and everyone .Its on everyone lips and thoughts and was far more deadly in its reach .It covered almost every part of India and other parts of world as well. The new tsunami is

Rajinikanths Shivaji the Boss

Looks like Christmas and Ramzan and Diwali were being celebrated on the same day .All Communities Classes and Castes participated and enjoyed the revry to the hilt.Movie Reels were brought on elephant with resoect befit to Badshah of Box Office.Frenzy Crowds Intoxicating sounds .....Chennai on 1st day of show has every feature to decorate this grandest extravagenza

I guess I don’t remember any movie that has unleashed such a mass hysteria .It seem to be the most waited movie. Awesome budget, Deadly combo of Rajini-Shankar-Rahman has let loose new bench mark in Indian cinema stables. Media burnt midnight oil to tune itself to frenzy fans frequency .All national channels have upped their creative ammunition to face the media war that, as expected as waged to garner maximum TRP rating as movie got released . Last time I guess Media went so berserk in covering the festive like event was when India went to finals in World cup.

Its really a festival in Chennai with tickets prices soaring as far as 3000/- or more for metaphoric 1st day 1st show. This one movie and everything connected to it seem to be good enough for all sociologists to go for star thesis for their doctorates in social research . Fans praying for success, huge cut outs, cutting their bodies to please their favourite deity. It seems Shivaji movie has generated every flavour that a utopian movie should generate .


I really wonder if any movie star can generate hype of this range. This is the age of coalition govt and coalition movies with few exceptions. Bollywood is no longer ruled by The-One . No longer it is Amitabh Bachan or Tri-Khans. Rarely one single star carries the entire burden on his shoulders unless he is sharukh khan or amir khan . Even they have span , But Rajini kanth like a colossus seem never to get tired to hit the bull’s-eye at box-office irrespective his age . No one needs to say who is the real Boss is ..its always there to see……...

ROCKY BALBOA-His whole life was a million-to-one shot.

Referee: One! Two!
Bill Baldwin: If he gets up, Creed will regain the title! If neither of them gets up, it's a draw and Creed will win the title automatically! The count...
Referee: Four...
Duke: Get up, my Man!
Mickey: GET ON YOUR FEET!
Adrian: [whispers] Get up.
Referee: Six! Seven!
Paulie: Get up!
Referee: Eight!
Mary Anne Creed: GET UP!

Referee: TEN! YOU'RE OUT!
Bill Baldwin: He made it at the last second! Rocky Balboa has shocked the world! He is the new heavyweight champion of the world!

Happy Womens Day

Psychology of Combat : Dedicated to Courageous Women

Time was fixed

Plan was set@ nano level

Dressed to kill

This was the description of an ultra pretty gujarati gal whom i met few days back.Everything went like clockwork till she over looked one point.Dressed to kill can attract scavenging and satiating eve teasers .It was totally out of blue and this unwanted suitor was bent on talking to her and luckily he was mild teaser and left before anything serious can happen .Comming out of no where , a total unknown person who is trying to strike conversation or trying to pass some vulgar comment can really perplex anyone and leave a bad scar on memory.

You need not be as beautiful as this tiny sweet gal pal of mine , it can happen to anyone irrespective of ur gender.Either the perpetrator can be highly frustrated and perveted or really dangerous or just harmless chap looking fer some fun at ur cost.
"You only live twice. Once when you are born and once when you look death in the face"
From my vague birds view knowledge on martial arts and psychology behind a combat i will pen downfew thoughts of mine which i may or may not come in handy and i gurantee no results but neverthless helpful in our daily life .

Half of combat/fight can be seen through our body languages .No person will pick up a fight or a arguement with a heavily built macho man. and no one can say absolutely that he/she is the strongest either.Strength doesnt lies in muscles but in mind.One can read a woman from 1000 yards and say if she is confident and composed or timid and insecure or is she willing to talk or not .If a gal can kep herself calm n composed demeanour , more often than not , it keeps teasers away. We can always say if she is or she isnt confident.See the way she folds her hands close to her chest and with head down and seeing at sides as if she is new to the place. On contrary, see how an a confident gal walks . she has the confidence radiating in her gait and looks straight into eyes with head up.How ever all these signs need not be true as can vary according to culture and circumstances and fer a person who is a risk taker, nothing can stop him.
"To manipulate the fear of others, you must first conquer your own fear"

In such a circumstances , trying to rush away or getting scared only boosts opponents confidence.If things of nasty type occur in broad day light and with fewer crowd around , its always fine to face them or him .Just looks straight into his eyes and utter no word .Let there be no expression on ur face .if possible give a crude- rude look and maintain stone dead silence for an extended period .Silence can be killing and best of men will get wilted as it upsets anyone as silence can be frustrating.After piercing gaze fer few moments just turn away ur face n walk out.
Now if we move to still dangerous rascals who are out for a real kill, its not psychological but physical combat that comes into handy.Running is the best option.If ur good at running , Run off to some crowded area and take help of public , police .They are always eager crowd to help a damsel in distress.
"There are those without decency who must be fought without hesitation, without mercy"But not always crowd helps , fer everyone is busy aand have their own lives to fend fer and their interests are primary.When you start helping yourself ,World helps you.

Even the strongest man has the weakest point.Strong man need not be brave man and vice versa .
"The training is nothing! The will is everything! The will to act.Strength lies in Will, not muscles"
If we can kep our head calm and composed we can escaoe from most of situations with little or no big damages.But it should be clearly remebered ,Once u get into combat , dont expect clean fight and dont fear about consequences,Fear ,Shame, Pride and Pain should be dumped in the nearest dustbin.There is no such thing as clean fight.Both the combatants have ro face injuries and the one who endured the most is the survivor and the victorious .

An old karate saying goes

"When two tigers fight, one tiger dies and another gets wounded"

A fight is not won by one punch or kick. Either learn to endure or hire a bodyguard. Forget about winning and losing; forget about pride and pain. Let your opponent graze your skin and you smash into his flesh; let him smash into your flesh and you fracture his bones; let him fracture your bones and you take his life. Do not be concerned with escaping safely — lay your life before him----Bruce Lee

If there is no safety option and combat is the only way out.Go for a real kill.

"Prey can escape from Predator only by becomeing predator".(Jasons Directive)
Look at a human body, there are many weak points .Groin,Eyes balls,Nose.,Lips, Throats, Stomach ,temple and now look at our own body parts , you ve got many parts which are very hard and effective fer combat.Brain being the sharpest followed by speech (Diplomacy) followed by fists , knees , elbows, hands and legs.
Strike first, strike hard, no mercy sir!
Karate lies in the mind and heart. Not in the handsIve told mind coz if we can remain calm and take things in rational manner , refuse to get panicked .Chances of victory are favourable.Combat is highly unpredictible . No results can be guaranteed .Outcome of a combat is highly seductive and its like india -pak crcicket match, till the last ball is bowled .Nothing can be foretold.When outcome is unknown .Then there is 100 % chances you winning is there.In any game one has to win and another has to lose .Then why should you lose .Let the loss be the opponents and thats the attitude and mental make-up of a fighter.


When i mean by Diplomacy i mean ability to speak smoothly persuadingly .The ability to change tone and tenor according to the crisis is the real gift that can aslo be developed slowly.The ability to bend the mind of opponents psychlogically..Something that can be practised ...can be learnt from enormous reading, thinking and practise and few failures in built.

We can always request a person not to harm us.Using words like PLEASE liberally , Boasting the opponents ego or appealing to their vanitiesor simply befriending attacker can help us.But to do all these it requires sioe drop in our ego, oride , vanity.But what good is ego , when life is at risk.??

One can always negotiate or just throw money in small bills into air and run (Street Diplomacy is very well written in books like POWER /GODFATHER/JASON DIRECTIVE by Robert ludlum ).We can use religious sermons to subtle threats like My-Papa-is-Police-Commisoner or i am infected with highly infectious skin disease....etc ,but your tone and tenor should always coincide with body langauge to sound convincing..

The best option is always RUN .My master is super strong person knows every inch of combat yet when asked about the question of combat he calmly says Run !Violence breeds Violence .There is no shame ion running away .But when cornered , you can block and run way.....But when u have no option ....let there be no ethics and sentiments and no values .Just go for a kill.One has to be mega brutal.

We should always take up the initiative .From defending , we should become attacker.Prey should become Predator.Let your 1st shot be very powerful on the weakest points, like groin or eyes.Use your nails as claws or knees or elbows in damaging weak points beyond repair .You can always choke opponent or gouge eyes with ur nails.You can head-butt or spit into face .Rmeber till tyhe last moment , victory can swing into anyones favour regardless of facilities available..Keep your calm , remeber u have 2 hands and 2 legs and a head..When panicked we ferget all these parts .Even one hand is loose , it can be put to the deadliest effect.Scream shoud be blood curdling.It can strike fear into enemys hearts
"Men fear most what they cannot see"

One can always convert ordinary things into deadly weapons.A newspaper can be folded into a club.House keys can used to punch or gouge eyes.Knife or Screwdriver is as deadly as Knife.Mud can be thrown into eyes and zandu balm can be thrown on head.Anything, anything can be turned into a weapon.
PUSH-PULL-GOUGE-BITE-CLAW-PUNCH-KICK-SPIT-SCREAM-NEGOTIATE-RUN.....
Its not one style but combination of all that can be helpful.Never can be a combat be won with one single technique.Its the misture of all available resourcves and thats should be continoulsy imprivised depending on situation.Once you attack , attack like a brute .No consequneces , No sentiments.Just fight till the end and to the end.Dont run away from problems .Keeping looking for solutions

A fight is not won by one punch or kick. Either learn to endure or hire a bodyguard. Forget about winning and losing; forget about pride and pain. Let your opponent graze your skin and you smash into his flesh; let him smash into your flesh and you fracture his bones; let him fracture your bones and you take his life. Do not be concerned with escaping safely — lay your life before him.

Dhyan Chand-A Tribute

Tribute To Dhyan Chand-Wizard of Hockey

World Cup 2007 is just around the corner.Will India repeat 1983 ?Will David lift the coveted cup like Kapil devils did in 1983 prudential world cup? Will he ?Wont he ?....Typical hamletian dilemma .Bets are placed running to thousands of crores. Sacin Saurav last world cup ! Will they fire with their cylinders ?India-Pakistan match is real hot one that world looks forward. ......or a moment ferget everyone,,...ferget sachin , sania whose victories neevr met with world bests standards ...meet Dhyan Chand the greatest.

Major Dhyan Chand Singh (1905-08-29–1979-12-03) was a former Indian hockey player and Olympian who is regarded as one of the greatest hockey players. He was awarded the Padma Bhushan, India's third highest civilian honour. He got the title "Chand" or (moon) from his first coach, Pankaj Gupta, who had predicted that he would one day shine like a chand or moon.


Dhyan Chand who was called the Wizard of Hockey played as though ball was stuck to the stick! SO much so , Tokyo officials during one of his travels broke his hockey stick while looking fer somesticking device inside.

Indians were leading 1-0 at the half timein 1936 summer olympics at Berlin . In second half, they scored 7 goals. After trailing 0-6, the Germans getting scared of him are reported to have resorted to body play. In a clash with the German goalkeeper, Dhyan Chand broke one of his teeth,Returning after first aid, and after India were leading by eight goals - Dhyan Chand having scored six - he advised his players to a play possession game and teach the Germans a lesson in good, clean Hockey . India won the match 8-1, with Dhyan Chand scoring 6 goals.

A reporter said about Dhyan Chand's performance - "With a flick of the wrist, a quick glance of his eyes, a sharp turn and then another turn, and Dhyan Chand was through".
Impressed by his performance, Adolf Hitler supposedly offered to make Dhyan Chand a Field Marshal in the German army, but the latter refused


Dhyan chand one of the best players to date , has a statue of his in Vienna , built by a sports club there. The staute shows Dhyan Chand with 4 hands and 4 hockey statue . Quite a compliment



Aug 29 is observed as National Sports Day coz its Dhyan Chand s birthday.


In the world of designers shoes and shoes specially made specifically fer each sport .Dhyan Chand in Olympic games against Germany played bare foot and scored 7 goals to take the country to a massive win

Hockey is the only sport in india that has india an olympic gold .Not once but 8 times .



Chand however died penniless and uncared for in a hospital, receiving a meagre pension. Dhyan Chand was very sad to see India finish seventh at the Montreal Olympics, 1976. The Indian team included his son, Ashok Kumar. When he was on his deathbed at All India Institute of Medical Sciences, he reportedly told a doctor that Indian hockey was dying. He then went into a coma and died in 1979.

A year after his death, the Indian Postal Service issued a commemorative stamp in his honour. In addition, Dhyan Chand National Stadium in New Delhi is named in his honor.

WATCH OUT !!!

"TECHNOLOGY IS CHANGING "

Worlds Most Exotic Zoo-YMCA Hostel

My 1st alarm of the day screams at around 2.00 am , before it could carry its death song by half , i kill it by a violent slap on its knob .My second alarm is , Relience Cell Phone ,meets the same fate at 2.15 am .The third alarm meets little lesser harsh reply fer its hum at 2.30 , its Nokia N90 (u cant mess with costly item na).My last orbit alarm clock is small n sweet one ..it doesnt scream or rave or rant to wake me up...it just purrs at ultrasonic frequency ..since its presented by my sweet sister , i just disable it with soft touch as my ears pick up ultrasonic soft sound ...My mental state change from Zero-concious to sub concious to semi concious to almost concious to awake to fit to jump out .Well as my both my astral soul n physical part of body combine , iam ready to meet the world with its head on .Well world ..iam ready ?...Are u ?

Day has to begn in YMCA as i stay there .Life in ymca should be written along with statutes of UNO charters or atleast whould be Constitutionally recognised .If perhaps an alien from outer space visits earth n wanna catch the panorama of india . , ymca is one stop shop fer him /it. ymca can humourioulsy said human zoo with all exotic entities (call them humans if u like)caged in diffrent rooms .

we can hardly call them rooms as they are more like dens n cages ...but all are unique .Each room has a history of its own .Some rooms were inhabited by Ex galdrags mister indias and some are always filled with thick nicotone smoke that u feel that fog has decended into room.Some rooms can be designated as drinking bars as they are filled with all kinds of beverages ..from road side arrack to scotch .u find them all even on dry days.Some are karoke n band rooms and some are torally banned from public scrutiny,But yeah my room and my opposite profesors rooms can be called as libraries depts(mine is actually library cum bakery(u find tons of books n kgs of eatables))

when i say ymca is exotic i mean by spirit n letter. Its like a Times Square where u can find a person of every kind on planet.ymca is lesser since u can find every kind of indian and few firangs (foreigners )as well .Mallus (malayalis ) and mizos(mizorams) and other nortjheasterns dominate the linguistic chatter followed with hand full of tamils n telugus and fewer northindians. but ofcourse the common langauge is relic of british THE ENGLISH.If there is anything that connect all these characters , then it is (not cricket ) TV .TV with its myriad channels connects all and a person who can grab the remote considers the king of tv fer that day .Power flows from remote not gun ..an old saying in ymca.

India is a grand cocktail of diverse cultures and so in is in ymca .Men from all corners inhabit ymca ,sometimes even foreigners esp america and europe and central asian n african are part of it.Religious divides though invisible is neverthless there in occaional out bursts,...Christains are dominant followed by Hindus and 0.1 muslims.Diversity is really startling ..a veggie like me eating along with north-eastern having his dog/pork meat side by side with no objections or qualms of any sort ....Entertainments vary from different cusines of all kinds at anytime in the day to playing basket ball at 3 am or just gossiping along with beer at midnight.

YMCA has perhaps the weirdest humans .SOme young guys are still caught in time warp dreaming about zeenat aman singing Laila o laila in her sexiest outfit to some guys who always have guiters around their neck tryng to win grammys (n harrasing others with their jarring music ).There is a typical fat velloriean(tamilnadu)who believes in saving water .he goes to the extent that he doesnt take bath at all .he follows Sunday-to-Sunday principle . he takes bath only on sunday ,.A Evangalist who wanna be like tom cruise n tries adventures like mission impossible by trying to reform youth .and yeah even iam there ...Agnostically Hindu Atheist()God of hel knows what it is ?).Some divorcees who preach against marriage to 60 year old play boy painting town red flirting wirth his american girl friend(call her girl or grandmother .ur choice) (he is marrying this sept in seattle, usa)

Alma has many eminent persons cutting all fields ..from Galrdrags mister india to IAS.One american has come all the way from new jersey to learn sitar .

SPorts is fun and we always play at anytime .Am or Pm .it hardly matters basket ball ,TT ,to karate by world class teachers.and elders go fer Tai-chi .

Day can be real fun anytime ,Some one will enjoying somewhere in ymca

Few months in ymca can really change ones out look fer life . one can mature fast .Elders can enjoy by re-living their life amongst youth and youngters can take advantage of their wisdom,.after all friendship has no age bar .one learns to respect all religions and cultures.Acquaintances with different languages can be real advantage and sports n freedom is real added avantage .This 90 year old offer a unique experience to one and all ..all the way taking loads of nostaligic peace in everyone cherished hearts

USA Vs USI (War & Peace -1 )

UNITED STATES OF AMERICA Versus UNION OF STATES OF INDIA

Comparing just few incidents that ve occurred in India-The Worlds Biggest Democracy and America-The Worlds PowerfulDemocracy and their reactions towards it......Firstly Tsunami Vs Katrina Hurricane

India got hit by Tsunami on Dec 26 /2004 and America was hit by Hurricane Katrina on Aug 25/2005 ...

When america was white washed with Katrina (that was the time when katrina of other kind ...katrina kaif ..was making rampage in every mans heart !!!).atrina showed worst side of America and exposed its under belly. The country that is worlds number 1 in economy and military was hoplessly thrown out of gear by its establishments when disaster struck.NewOrleans suffred worst of damage.New Orleans became looting arena . Gangs struck like plague ..looting ...raping ..all in broad day light .Here is some statement

I hate the way they portray us in the media. You see a white family, it says, 'They're looking for food.'You see a black family, it says, 'They're looting.' And, you know, it's been five days [waiting for federal help] because most of the people are black. And even for me to complain about it, I would be a hypocrite because I've tried to turn away from the teacher-the TV because it's too hard to watch. I've even been shopping before even giving a donation, so now I'm calling my business manager right now to see what is the biggest amount I can give, and just to imagine if I was down there, and those are my people down there. So anybody out there that wants to do anything that we can help — with the way America is set up to help the poor, the black people, the less well-off, as slow as possible. I mean, the Red Cross is doing everything they can. We already realize a lot of people that could help are at war right now, fighting another way — and they've given them permission to go down and shoot us!

Mike Myers, whom West was paired with to present, spoke next and continued as normal by reading the script. Once it was West's turn to speak again, he delivered the controversial phrase:George Bush doesn't care about black people.

Now look at the India ....Tsunami ..India Disaster Mgt swung into action immediately unlike Condelezza Rice in america secretary of state shopping for sandals as her country was suffering .India named it as Operation Rainbow , and not only sent relief to coast but also sent Navy ships across the asian continent wherever killer tsunami left its trail.Sri lanka, Indonasia etc We were the first long before any other country reacted .

Coast suffred and andaman tooks the full impact. Life was thrown out of its routine and /many many died and Govt tried its best to control the dance of death in all its forms.Diseases were rampant...bloated dead were everywhere...not a place to take shelter....But Indian
Govt came against all odds with great success .Even now if Radhakrishnan IAS(District collector of naggipatnam) goes to nagipatnam , people there will Consecrate him for the yoemen service he put forward when the help was the need of hour .Whatever problems were there , there was ot even a single incident of anarchy like it ruled new orleans ..thats Indianness....

Two Shades Of India

Two Shades Of India

Laxmi mittal take over of Arcelor ....ISRO testing successfully its Space Re-entry Vehicle .....Tatas acquiring Corus Steel in UK.....Shilpa Shetty winning Big Brother after Racist Remarks.....DRDO achives intercepting missiles by Prithvi Interceptor Missile......Economy is booming at GDP rate of 8%......Jeev Milkha Singh at his all time high in golf ..Historic India-Usa Nuclear Deal .....India has for once become cynosure in the eyes of world ...every global conference refers about India ...truly India is shining .....

The other side of world lies India Invisible...totally de void of changes of world ...unable to capture the countrys growth ...trying to grapple for two square meals a day ...living below the poverty line ....prone to child abuse and molestation ....cancerous Naxalism seeping into more rural areas ....terrorism showing no fatigue....population crossing billion ..sad sex ratio...etc etc ....

lets hope future brings better tidings and converges the radical gap between Haves and Have-Nots

Tribute To Terrible Two

Fleeting Thoughts

As i observe my Thought-Traffic in cranial highways of my Mind , i felt like reproducing it on paper for public display .Just penning some random thoughts with some gloss over them. This mail is s asmall tribute to few of finest exotic specimens in my pals list

Arun Vs Ashraf

Alluring

Amazing

Astonishing

Audacious....and Arun and Ashraf .Last two are perfect way to end that perfectPanegyric adjectives.

Arun and Asfarf !!! . They are poles apart with negligible similarities. Both are trapped in cyber world of programming and allied subjects and thats where similarities end and from this point contrast contradictions begin.

Both have contarsting persona neverthless a geeky brains of prodigal nature.

One chap is lanky and another is just few kilos less that a hippopotamus (4600kgs)

One man is at shores of hussain sagar another on banks of Niagara waterfalls

One hero is busy bugging computers and privacies and another with his optic fibres

One is Omnivorous and another pure Vegitarian.

If there are anyone privy of my inner circle decisions , its these two .May creator if existing grant some flesh in aruns lanky personality and some grass in ashrafs sense (and grass here is not marijuana ).

NeverSay Good Bye

In the galaxy of star studded Friends , Foes, Acquaints..etc , these two names glow like Heavenly Moon

Friends Forever Near
As we walk along our path of life,
We meet people every day,
Most are simply met by chance,
But some are sent our way.
These become the special friends
Whose bond we can't explain,
The ones who understand us
And share our joy and pain
Their love contains no boundaries,
So even when apart,
Their presence still embraces us
With a warmth felt in the heart.
This love becomes a passageway
Where even the miles disappear,
And so these friends God sends our way
Remain forever near.

God Is Online !!!

You Got a Mail From "The One"

God: Hello. Did you call me?

Me: Called you? No. Who is this?

God: This is GOD. I heard your prayers. So I thought I will chat.

Me: I do pray. Just makes me feel good. I am actually busy now. I am in the midst of something.

God: What are you busy at? Ants are busy too.

Me: Don't know. But I can't find free time. Life has become hectic. It's rush hour all the time.

God: Sure. Activity gets you busy. But productivity gets you results.Activity consumes time. Productivity frees it.

Me: I understand. But I still can't figure out. By the way, I was not expecting YOU to buzz me on instant messaging chat.

God: Well, I wanted to resolve your fight for time, by giving you some clarity. In this net era, I wanted to reach you through the medium you are comfortable with.

Me: Tell me, why has life become complicated now?

God: Stop analyzing life. Just live it. Analysis is what makes it complicated.

Me: Why are we then constantly unhappy?

God: Your today is the tomorrow that you worried about yesterday. You are worrying because you are analyzing. Worrying has become your habit. That's why you are not happy.

Me: But how can we not worry when there is so much uncertainty?God: Uncertainty is inevitable, but worrying is optional.

Me: But then, there is so much pain due to uncertainty. ..

God: Pain is inevitable, but suffering is optional.

Me: If suffering is optional, why do good people always suffer?

God: Diamond cannot be polished without friction. Gold cannot be purified without fire. Good people go through trials, but don't suffer. With that experience their life become better, not bitter.

Me: You mean to say such experience is useful?

God: Yes. In every term, Experience is a hard teacher. She gives the test first and the lessons afterwards.

Me: But still, why should we go through such tests? Why can't we be free from problems?

God: Problems are:Purposeful Roadblocks Offering Beneficial Lessons to Enhance Mental Strength. Inner strength comes from struggle and endurance, not when you are free from problems.

Me: Frankly in the midst of so many problems, we don't know where we are heading...

God: If you look outside you will not know where you are heading. Look inside.Looking outside, you dream.Looking inside, you awaken.Eyes provide sight.Heart provides insight.

Me: Sometimes not succeeding fast seems to hurt more than moving in the right direction. What should I do?

God: Success is a measure as decided by others. Satisfaction is a measure as decided by you. Knowing the road ahead is more satisfying than Knowing you rode ahead. You work with the compass (direction). Let others work with the clock.

Me: In tough times, how do you stay motivated?

God: Always look at how far you have come rather than how far you have to go. Always count your blessing, not what you are missing.

Me: What surprises you about people?

God: When they suffer they ask, "why me?" When they prosper, they never ask "Why me?" Everyone wishes to have truth on their side, but few want to be on the side of the truth.

Me: Sometimes I ask, who am I, why am I here. I can't get the answer.

God: Seek not to find who you are, but to determine who you want to be. Stop looking for a purpose as to why you are here. Create it. Life is not a process of discovery, but a process of creation.

Me: How can I get the best out of life?

God: Face your past without regret. Handle your present with confidence. Prepare for the future without fear.

Me: One last question. Sometimes I feel my prayers are not answered.

God: There are no unanswered prayers. At times the answer is NO.

Me: Thank you for this wonderful chat. I am so happy to start the New Day with a new sense of inspiration.

God: Well. Keep the faith and drop the fear. Don't believe your doubts and doubt your beliefs. Life is a mystery to solve, not a problem to resolve. Trust me. Life is wonderful if you know how to live.

Sex and the Indian Cities

Believe me before reading ..I am totally not and never be against any religion ..and what all i ve written anytime are backed by hard n concrete physical evidence

Just as i was walking across Sunday flea market ..scanning fer any interesting book in Abids where most of book hawkers lay their wares ..one interesting feature is that all book shops will have one particular book series in common ....those will be 'Penthouses ' ..filled with wildest fantasies of erotica n sometimes funny porn stories ......read first few pages ...its assured u have read entire book ...just same content in different syntax......

I really wonder why 'phoren penthouse' dominate Indian markets when India has more better than the best sex literature in its vibrant history ?...ie.., KAMASUTRA ...Indian contribution to world of sex ...pardoxically our markets are ruled by pent houses as kamasutra takes over the world ...Vatsyanas Kamasutra was written during period of Chendellas rajas(hope iam right!!) that blew worlds imagination and myth that indians were largely sexually ignorant ...

Myth 1 ..we Indians are closed up society and sex is strict NO-NO and biggest taboo ?...an firangs are are more open to it ?....

Hmmmm ....Are any one joking around ..? long before western man walked on planet earth ..Indians were using higher science and complex mathmatics ..and vast culture et al ....in India sex is more holy rather than routine stuff in firang lands.....Worship of phallus (male sex organ ) started 4000 years ago ..is still being continued by billion people around the world ..but in diffrent versions ......check how ....phallus worhip in sanskirt is called "linga ".....now it is shiv linga (surprised ?)...now if u think its only indian custom ..check japanese ..they have penis shrines and festival is called Hounen Matsuri
http://www.yamasa.org/japan/english/destinations/aichi/tagata_jinja.html

all fer fertility and sexual bliss...

One of few books i know by rote that i purchased when AIDS paranoia was thick in rounds was ..'sexual secrets ..love n sex n aids ' ....clearly mentions ...path fer happy marriage is ...sexual gratification and healthy communication ..


All black magics have sex as important component to their black magical rituals ...extreme vodoo /witchcraft /..indian tantric ....every style has it .....mystical sex or tantric sex ...appears in indian black arts ...what do u think is shiv shakti mean?...2 triangles taking shape of star ...depicting holy communion of shiv-shakti ....yin-yang ..positive-negative etc ...or wakening of kundalini shakti or mudras or chakras of human body through sex ...or arousing mystical serpentine energy in ur spinal chord ...according top western witchcraft ....or sexual intercourse to awaken ur 6th sense according to tibetian lamas versions ...

Most of religions and sects preach sacredness of sex ...somehow its has fallen into corridors of taboo ness .....frankly only mainland ..central indians ...highly educated ..cultured ..tech savvy ..are victims of syndrome(sex=taboo)...

Untouched by vageries of modern civilisation ..tribals in india still continue with their fore fathers legacy ...free societies exist among tribals ...wife swapping ,, promicsuity ..polyandry ..polygamy ...is very much prevalent among them and doesnt invite any curious stares from anyone ...(example ..Dard tribes in Leh/ladakh where wife swapping is common ..and some tribes where u have to bear child to a woman before u marry her ...no sexual potency ..no marriage ...simple ..)

Mind u guys ..what all i write is simple customs an cultures ,,,nothing to do with religion or pornography (which is nothing but de-humanising woman )...just sex ..healthy sex n bliss ....

now ...iam just looking diffrence between my index and middle finger ..diffrence is huge (no wonder ) according to one research ..its said that ur aggresiveness and sexual vigour is degree of diffrence between index n middle finger of ur hand ...now check urs ....

Annoying Areated Drinks

Coke back in eye of Storm

home)…..

Circa 2005:
I still stick to stand…No coke No PEPSI/COKE Or, it's affiliated soft drinks…through years I've got little matured and I no longer hate
CIRCA 1998:
I guess I picked up my anti western stand from KGB,Arundathi Roy essays stories and Pro USSR books.Through prolonged arguments upto morning 3 am under the oak tree in my lawn I used to just back up my already taken stance with my pals . No foreign goods, No pepsi, No coke No levis(I cannot afford this either)…but hypocritically I had reservations for Hollywood movies(esp Sangeeth theatre used to be my2nd Americans..but American policy, coke and pepsi must go…Here are a few reasons why every one should dump coke from their daily schedule.Don't go for economic reasons that complicate your brain with Jargon that's highly difficult to understand.Health perspective:What is coke?

Just carbonated water and sugar with no nutrition value whose secretformuls is safe;y stored in bank of Atlanta.May never reveal it so we might not exactly know what the drink contains…But its Ph is 3.4 acidity enough to dissolve your bones and teeth

- Indian scientists already claim pestiside residue in coke.
-Charles bert discoverer of insulin remarked that large quantities ofcoke have Cirrhosis of liver similar to that of chronic alcoholics
- Studies conducted by London based consumer international state thatcolas cause tooth decay, obesity, hypertension, low blood glucose levels.


Stories from Archives

Political: In 1990 coke re-entry into India was turn down.Americanswere so angry that US Secretary of state (equivalent to Indian foreignMinister) James Baker pointed V P Singh in Nambia (nambia is no placeto discuss coke) that US can be very rash where it's self interest isinvolved and gave examples Iraq got doomed, panama dictator ManuelNoriega was put in Jail. All because they dared to stand against theUSA.

Result: Coke entered and swallowed Indian soft drinks viz, Goldspot, Goldspot(nowfanata), limca, Thumsup, Rush,Maaza. Now except Frooti there is noteven a single soft drink company owned by Indians.Summary: USA threatened India and forced it's way into India whyshould we Indians patronize big bully brands???Think of it.Present situationWater Woes: There are 100 odd manufacturing units in the country. Cokeand pepsi are engaged in water war against people of India. Coke alonein Plachimada district(Kerala) consumes 4-6 lakh/day denying localcommunities. Their fundamental right to water in plachimada now tastesmetallic not potable.

REMEMBER EVERYTIME YOU DRINK COKE OR PEPSI SOME FELLOW INDIAN IS DEPRIVED OF HIS FUNDAMENTAL RIGHT TO DRINK WATER.

USA: USA itself pulled off coke&pepsi from its schools and colleges this August(aug 31/2005) as it is affecting health of US youth andteens leading to obesity and other health problems.

Summary: Is US teenager life and his/her well being more important than Indian counterpart. Are Indian lifves useless. Just ever pondered, Why we need to patronize cola giants that give us nothing except diseases, water scarcity in lieu of our money.Why can't we substitute cola to ,badam/flavoured milk or some fruit juice or plain water for that matter or maximum Frooti
(which is owned by Parle).


Is it necessary to guzzle litres of cola per day just bcoz ourfavourite movie stars persuade us or our cricketers dancing to bubbly tune..(as more and more crciketers seems to have losing they batting sheen , they are turning to modelling and actions)

Ask yourself, don't you think it time to kick out the menance called Coke?

Love story of Chenchu n Chickens

In the defense of Vegetarianism

Long long ago there lived a sweet bubbly bubbly human called Chenchu. Chenchu one fine day , due to bad karma or evil deeds , chenchu has fallen sick and hands stopped responding . Doctors gave verdict of operating chenchu to retrieve chenchus ruptured spinal nerves .

On advice of doctors chenchu life became like rat in lab .Chenchu was tested in every way ..syringes were punctured more often for blood test ..body became experimental equipment for new doctors (house surgeons )..chenchu was subjected for radiations gain & again ...Cat scan to X-ray to MMR..(the only happy news is that chenchu is very fair and white in X-ray report )...

Chenchu is no alien to operations in hospitals .Chenchu witnessed 101 operations in all movies , though chcnchu knows that her spinal operation is quite simple but chcnchu fears the worst as all movies show the same , where a masked doctor comes out only to say "IAM SORRY" ..

Its not excately as Chenchu visualised in true filmy fashion ...that chenchu will be slammed on table where chenchu back will be torn open in choicest designs with cleaver knife just like we tear open a zipped bag . Who knows blood will leak out like in taps.Maybe doctors will forget a knife , or blade or sponge or I-Pod to make things worst. More chnechu visualised possible scenarios more chcncu got scared .Days were living hell in hospital esp 2-idli diet .and nights dreams were bizarre nightmares.Chenchu knows the inevitable cannot be escaped from......Tension built up as D-Day came near ...Tears began to flow relentlessly that can put all water falls to shame .The pain of suffering is worst than suffering itself.Imagination went berserk.Nightmares were more frequent.

Its the same feeling an ordinary animal feels before entering into slaughter house . They are kept in worst conditions , stuffing 10-15 hens into small place and from where gory views of feathers being plucked from recently killed hens be appearing frequently .Necks being slit as bloods flow near to other animals is off repeated story. What goes through the hearts of an animal as it flutters and screams as cleaver knife cuts its tender neck is somethingwe will never know . One visit to Abattoir will freeze your blood at sight of animal sufferings.

Let us shun NonVeg Diet and join Prevention of cruelty against animals . We can come with as many arguements Pro-Non veg as many as we can come out for Anti Non Veggie diet.
http://www.petaindia.com/feat/veg.asp

You can give Bible and Bagavatgita and Quran quotable quotes in support of treating urself with meat.Those scriptures also says of being good, being kind and being compasionate and think good and do good and love ur neighbour (given chance we will cut his neck at 1st chance) ..Now how many are strict in these principles ..We bend religious rules n principles acording to our will..
For once forget religious code and take up Humanity code. we are not beasts to kill n eat dead animal .Roast it ..and all spices n salts gulp down the dead roasted anuimal down the belly .
http://www.petaindia.com/feat/veg_mym_chickens.asp

We can say Reigious code , or some Cantonese saying where Everything is edible as long as it crawls , flies .walks with its back to heavens (phew ...thankfully we are exempted )...For all these arguements some can come up with that Man is not born to eat meat and come with theories like Dental and aliementary canal and fingers of human body are not suitable to be non veggie or omnivorous .

Arguments apart , We have choice as we are highly evolved Compassionate Species.One decison can make enormous impact on Environment. Choice is yours .
http://www.petaindia.com/feat/veg_transition.asp

If someone says at this stage , after munching so many hens n other animals its imposible to give up non vegge . Trust me ,We have enormous will power and we always CAN DO IT!!. I was non veggie and one day after ralisation , i just had every non veg item my eyes fell upon ...Chicken, Mutton, beef, dog, cat, half-dead-cockroaches and few mosquiotoes ..and gave i up from next day . i thought of doing it andi ve done it ..simpleand easy. when i can , iam sure even u can.

Now i feelmore healthier and wealthier (u can save tons in surplus) and stronger and morally n spritually strong and best part is MY WILL HAS GROWN TO NEW HEIGHTS .now i know i can do anything ...Amazing feelings .Remeber wherther its Ant or Anoconda or Angelina jolie ..Right to Life is everyones Birth right and taking anyones life is crime and sin....

Never say Good Bye
Myself

Tailender: As for Chenchus love story with Hospital staff endd on happy note .Operation was a greand success just like mallika sherawats "Murder" movie .Hospital staff gave chenchu two yellow 20 rupee physiotherapic balls to strengthen hands and ofcourse took cool sum of 63,000/- for medical expenses .Finally everyone are happy .Chenchu is back to normal and happy and.............So am I

Humour

Some jokes i love to fall in love with ,,,,

This is supposed to be Worlds best joke . After months of serious study and much merriment, 100,000 people have voted on the world's funniest joke.
In an experiment named Laughlab, a joke about Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's famous fictional detective Sherlock Holmes and his sidekick Dr. Watson emerged a clear winner Thursday from 10,000 entries.



Sherlock Holmes and Dr Watson went on a camping trip. After a good meal and a bottle of wine, they lay down for the night and went to sleep. Some hours later, Holmes awoke and nudged his faithful friend. "Watson, look up at thesky and tell me what you see"
Watson replied, "I see millions and millions of stars""
What does that tell you?" enquired Holmes.
Watson pondered for a minute.
"Astronomically, it tells me that there are millions of galaxies and potentially billions of planets.
Astrologically, I observe that Saturn is in Leo.
Horologically, I deduce that the time is approximately a quarter past three.
Theologically, I can see that God is all powerful and that we are small and insignificant.
Meteorologically, I suspect that we will have a beautiful clear day tomorrow.
What does it tell YOU?" Holmes was silent for a minute, then spoke.

"Watson, you idiot, some thief has stolen our tent"

so the scientist bends down to the earth and starts to mould the soil into the shape of a man ..

"hang on , hang on " interrupts God , "get ur own soil , son "

Myths and Realities

If there is one powerful myth about Martial Arts , then it is regarding Invincibility of a Martial Artist.This comes from movies stars like Bruce lee and Jackie chan or Jet li who fight against dozens of hordes and escape unscathed.Just like feelings of patriotism is attached with Armed Forces , Agility and Strength is attached with martial artists. But the grand reality is that any martial artist is as vulnerable as anyone esle if not more...

Jackie chan in Rendezvous with Simi clearly says No one can fight with more than 5 people whenb attacked at once. There is nothing like superlatives Strongest or Most Powerful etc . No matter how good you are , there always exist better . Even masters have masters..There is always a scope of improvement. Knowledge of this piece of wisdom keeps everyone humble, calm and controlled..Check how all so called strong people were humbled ..
Mike tyson was defeated by Lennox
Md Ali was defeated by Frazer
Bruce lee died of brain edema
Steve irwin died due to harmless sting ray fish

all were best in their fields yet all their talents didnt help them from the inevitable. .In a combat , too many variables come into play.Luck factor cannot be ignored nor the dangers of negative consequences..There are many instances where average orangebelt holder defeating black belt holder. I all depends how good you are ..not how good your style and technique is .Karate gives you strength and confidence and skill and how you use it all depends on you.

Controversy over martial arts:

There is often controversy about whether or not the practice of martial arts leads to positive or negative psychological changes in the participants. There are many who claim that practicing the martial arts develops beneficial psychological changes and encourages good moral and ethical development. In contrast, some claim that participating in MartialArts facilitates violence and aggression. Most images of the martial arts in popular movies support this second claim.

I strongly say that anything is susceptable to negative actions like a knife can be used be used to cut vegetables as well as cut throats . is it the mistake of knife or the handler . Its not the Thing thats at fault but the Thinking.

However Unlike Western sports, Asian martial arts usually: teach self-defense, involve philosophical and ethical teachings to be applied to life, have a high degree of ceremony and ritual, emphasize the integration of mind and body, and have a meditative component. While exercise and physical fitness has a role in producing psychological benefits .

Psychology of a Fighter and Its Analogy to Living and Life


" Any Art learnt will reflect in all aspects of Life "
- Samurai Saying

Martial Arts is a mini Cosmos where you confront your fears .Its like a mini life itself where split second desicions take place and wrong decisions results in instant punishments .Martial Arts is like a mirror , reflecting your character-you can see yourself .Do you buckle under pressure or rise above them. Do you take fear head along or show your back and flee.

i take this game very seriously. Every second i spend on Dojo mat (place where we practise) is respected and i make every effort to see my moves and actions more quicker , faster ,stronger and lethal.I throw myself 101% into each and every moment i spend in dojo.

Confront Your Fear and Fear will Disappear:

In combat , there are many instances where we give up or refuse to move forward.You can end up being thrashed up black and blue.Its analogy can be seen with life .Life is no bed of Roses but Roses are neverthless there provided one crosses bed of thorns. We are supposed to endure pain and charge ahead.Most of them take a step backwardor quit at the 1st sign of loss.But this is the moment thats decisive.I remeber wjhen i faced my opponent who was stringer, all i did is i just ignored pain and endured pain and charged ahead.I didnt win but i didnt lose either. That gave me more confidence for my next bout.Its more Battle of Wills and Nerves rather than Style and techniques.
The Clenched teeth, Tightened fists, Sharp and piercing gaze and pain endured As i charged at my opponent and thus perplexing him psychologically ..the biological changes in my head and the feeling generated due to conquering Fear and Pain from your heart is the wonderfull feeling thats beyond my vocabulary to explain .

We Love You :

We dont do Drugs,
We dont Smoke
We dont try Alcohol
We say No to Soft drinks and Beverages like tea and coffee
All we do is Adrenaline
Despite of all Excitement and Testestrone Push we are gentle and discplined and well mannered to the most extent.I believe in Vegetarianism and i believe that vegetarian diet infuses gentleness (Hitler was an Exception).

Unlike in past , I aint too proud to say "I APOLOGISE" or just walk out of arguement . Its not that i cant argue nor i cant fight but i know neither will give amicable results .Just reflect on this

In Time and Space, What are we ?.Life has existed for billions years and will continue to do so .What is our life span , maybe 70-120 years to the maximum and compare it with 20 billions of years old universe .We are not even a blip , not even a speck. Whats is 100 compared with 20,000, 000, 000 years ?

i super strongly believe in non violence . All these combats and street fights begin because of primitive tendences like Ego , Vanity and Iam-Great-You-are-Wrong Syndrome ..etc ...So i usually let someone take credit .I would say "You are right and iam sory that iam wrong " 'Disregarding whose mistake it is .This would pull of all the fight in your opponent and pulls out all the steam out of rascals on the road. The so called abusive behaviour os alrgely due to lack of confidence and insecurity which he covers by feigning courage and rashness.

All we have to do is remain calm and maintain our composure and your confidence will be reflected in your demenaour.Be calm and gentle as one hour from any incident hardly matters as life will go on and will move on. if you are struck in the past , you are losing the present and its beauty. A strong man need not prove that he is strong , infact he wins just by walking away from a fight.

As some Master said ..There are times to fight and here are times to walk away from fight.

" Teachers open the door . You enter by yourself "
-Chinese Proverb


The difference between Teacher and Master is vast. Teacher or Acharya just teaches what he has to teach pr for what he is paid for and leaves the responsibility of learning to the students , where as Master or Guru ji believes in complete transformation of his disciples and moulds them to the greater good of society and world at large .

Sensei Kumai is one such gentleman.He is expert in Judo and Sumo wrestling and deadly full-contact Kyoshunkai Karate under world best masters of his time. Sensei Kumai is Extremely Strong and Extremely Agile.. Weighing 240 pounds can pounce at you in split second with force of heavy duty truck , but neverthless uses his full power and force as he is a strong believer in non violence.

This is a small article by Hindu news paper on my master.http://www.hinduonnet.com/thehindu/mp/2002/12/05/stories/2002120500610400.htm

Its not Karate he teaches , but Life itself. My complete transformation has come under his guidence and all rough edges were smoothned .Mr.Kumai always says Karate is not at all important in life but character is. Despite being super strong , he never propogated violence. He always says "Violence always begets more violence". He always teaches us karate as to provide physical fitness and exercises for better health and discpline, than learn to fight and become strong fighters.One student asked him what his reaction should be when confronted .His reply was quick ..."Just Run , if cornered-Block and Run, But never fight " is his advice which might sound silly to public but real maturity means silence .(Will Explain later in Myths About Martial Arts)

We have no rules .There is no Fee.Teaching is for free. Discipline is cardinal rule and punctuality is the one quality we have to develop .We are supposed to come at 5.40 am .And when he says 5.40 am , it is 5.40 not 5.39 or 5.41 am .And the practice goes on upto sharp 8.00 am.There is no force in this. He sets an example first and you will automatically follow him.We are heavily indoctrined in principles of non violence and finer aspects of life . We are always advised to remain calm ,polite , gentle and inculcate spirit of forgivness.

MartialArts under Sensei Kumai transformed my life extremly .It enriched my life and re-defined Living .It made me more Calmer, Softer, and more gentle.

Martial Arts didnt make me strong - but more Healthier
Martial Arts didnt make great fighter-but embedded Fighting Spirit.

The Genesis

The Genesis of martial arts in my life has to do with something more of my character and way of thinking rather than someones influence . i had a quirk of Confrontationist Attitude...Confront everything .....
Confront Parents
Confront Society
Confront Rules n Norms
Confront Fear
Confront Bullies
My mind had more leaning towards warfare rather than studies and silly games of childhood. I was less than 10 years when i designed small robot ala Giant Robot with sticks and scales and which actually fires pellets .Commando Comics helped me in differentiate between AK-47 and Sten guns or a sniper rifle and stories of WorldWar 2 . After all ....

Design of Weapon is Mans first sign of Intelligence

You cannot expect a teenager to get all these weapons or even minor ones so natural graduation is to drop comic hand made gun and make urself one ..ie., turn your body into one weapon.The obvious answer lies in learning karate (thats the only martial art style i knew ). With High Priest of Home (*read as my dad) refusing to give his consent, i had to satisfy myself reading books on martial arts .

My journey into Martial Arts began at very young age though never entered into any professional school but the seed was present in my school days....The idea germinated annd nurtured only in dreams untill my late teens when i finally entered Okinowa Karate School in StAndrews School . I had to join the class secretly coz my parents never wanted their only son to be beaten black and blue , reluctantly , later , they gave me their permission .

Okinowa is painfully slow to suit my temperment..so i turned to Korean art Taekwondo . This suited me for it uses mostly legs and kicks .And to my advantage i am tall and long legs can keep my opponents at bay . Taekwondo gave me 1st opportunity to enter my 1st competition and my 1st taste of fear of getting black eye .The fear was really exasperating but neverthless i won my 1st silver medal but was never given due to some politics . Its not the medal that really counted but finally i went face to face with my fear.

Being an Engg student in CBIT . 30 kms away from home , and coupled with pressures of Asthma and College Curricullum , i had to call martail arts quits for next 4 years . With long hiatus in between , my skill came down drastically but neverthless confidence and courage retained.....
till i met Elderly Japanese Gentleman Sensei Hiroyuki Kumai .......
