Summer Sundown

Walking on my roof top,
Watching the sun set
With my body dripping wet.
Wondering why the sun makes me rain sweat...


Heat of the summer,
Repeats the glasses of water I drink.
I wonder where the water goes,
My body shows where it does.


The sun shines brighter than ever,
I smile, looking brighter than ever,
The reason, the shine of my bright white teeth,
On my dark tanned face!


I look darker than ever,
As I was fried in the eternal heater forever,
I change colour, From the bright white day
To a dark black night with shimmering stars.

-Santosh Gopi Nair

P.S.: This is proof enough for my time-held belief that we are world citizens and our identity is only that of a miniscule beautiful part of the universe in harmony and not of any domineering warring forces living in insecurity and poverty within abundance!

Please spread this message and be a significant part of a noble revolution!
Competition is a waste of time enslaving us to uphold a few corporation's goals.

Technology is our best friend which helps us to enjoy and exhibit our freedom!

Equality and freedom is a birth right to all!

I am a world citizen! I live in harmony!

Being a part of military or a corporation is a dishonour!

Religion is a well fabled myth, made for human conditioning to a system of serve and accomplish, thus serving the system that dictates the rules in society which is corrupt in itself!

Money is an age old system made for and from the past, it’s a system not worthy of a future!
ALL this is good to say but accomplishing this will be an uphill task which requires a change in the entire society [the mindset of populace] and thus in the system. And how shall this change happen FROM US, with UNSELFISH efforts, within a period of time this can be a reality with true human democratic[literally and not politically] efforts.

I am clear on the fact that this isn't a practicality in today's world though the video says so but ofcourse a possibility over time if ALL work towards this as a GOAL. Awareness and spread of this message is a vital part of this change! And it will be a goal worth achieving....

Is being pro-Hindu in India being communal?

I am just upset about the fact that calling oneself a Hindu and acting like one has been tagged communal in our country. I believe discrimination is now towards the majority population of Hindus and not any minorities. The corrupt politicians are taking advantage of this very syndrome in our biased people. The corrupt politicians of our country are selfish people playing vote bank politics and thus a hindrance to progress! They are no different than the British who ruled our country using divide and rule. And our junta is falling for their poll-tact-tics [synonym of politics] than using their brains in determining the reality and the very goodness of unity. LIVE and LET LIVE! I think this is what all religions convey in their morals and principles, some interpret it wrong making idiots of themselves and the community and as there is no shortage of fools on earth, there are bound to be followers for the same. But does that mean even sensible and educated ones fall for this, defeating the very purpose of religion. The corrupt politcians who form the majority in politics are more powerful than the few honest politicians who form a minority, it is this minority that needs empowerment and not any religion based minorities of our nation. So lets focus on people who can assure good governance and not security for a community because that’s upto the law establishments to provide and not any hoodwink politician! A good politician strengthens the system and security for all is part of the system, you need a visionary to guide the system and not any brawny idiot in khadi.

TOI Chennai

This was a recent ad of a newspaper thats celebrating it first anniversary in chennai. The sheer creativity in this ad has persuaded me to post it on my blog..this also shall be a start to some photo blogs on this site!

vote or not to vote? doesn't make a difference!

Nowadays when i switch on the television and scan through the politically fevered news channels, we have our aamir khan and his nephew imran telling us the importance of our vote... lol... i wud rather prefered some commercial ads from these guys than a vote campaign, because in reality its not gonna make a difference, the vote banks are the poor people who don't watch these news channels and even if these ads are being streamed in the channels of the masses, they are still gonna vote for their fav corrupt caste/religion/community politician and not any educated goverance oriented politician, becoz they don't have the latter choice... for 2 reasons, one being that right canditates never get to stand for elections as they are denied tickets by major political parties due to their financial or ideological positions and if they choose to stand as independents, in most cases they lose as our people in majority do not believe in unsupported canditates for their own selfish reasons of regional development (which they expect but never really happens to the extent it is supposed to happen, so they settle for something is better than nothing) by winning party's backing, so independents lose even before they start...And the other reason being that our majorly poor electorate are very happy with star canditates who come to them with their large screen images of do gooders and our junta are in eternal bliss of reel than real, poverty denies education/oppurtunities and thus knowledge and thus intellect; our star canditates thus with their persona garner more votes than a real life do gooder independent politician.... and were star canditates aren't available, money and muscle power of political stalwarts/industrialists backed by area hooligans do the election magic of success by corruption, our poor aam junta are pleased by their electoral gifts of both cash and kind, forgetting that the more electoral gifts equals to lesser basic aminities in the next five years....a reduced standard of living is the price they pay for getting corrupt to have corrupt leaders representing them, increasing corruption means reducing oppurtunities and thus increasing poverty...Our poor junta write their own fate... One of the most interesting fact observed by news channels is that most of our policticans declared wealth have atleast doubled and in some cases increased upto 30 times from what it was in 2004... that also includes the non ruling parties politicians,wow that means a seat in parliament is all that u need to get to become richer, it doesn't matter whether you belong to ruling party or not,almost all of the canditates in the fray this year are crorepathis [lol....the representatives of the poor]..... i would love to watch a news channel doing a study into how these politicians earn their money, because thats something that our EC's law does not ask our politicians to declare... hope that column is also added in the future, it will be interesting to read some made up entreprener stories there as i don't expect any real story would be mentioned there.... now coming to our burgeoning middle class [actually poor compared to world standards], they are more than busy sending their next generation to study/work in US, Europe, Australia, Middle-east to work as cheap labour! We are at the end of the day techie coolies to these rich nations, you know what our middle class are actually visionaries, they know that world is running out of young population to take care of their businesses, so lets educate and skill our young ones to sent them to these places to sustain their economies and thus in turn become rich in our own countries, what a visionary thought! LOL.... we shall never have an environment of overall development for all and thus raise our own standards of living in our sweet old diverse nation... diverse in everything, united in the passport and visionary ideologies that we hold.... NOW coming to our growing powerful rich [NRIs included], we shall support any govt that favors more subsidies, special economic zones and laws for us to flourish in our trades and get an good advantage of using the abudant cheap labour in india, its estimated 70% of our populace is less than 35 yrs of age, thus we are a highly employable country... The rich want to back their people[corrupt politicians and vested industrialists are part of the same team] inorder to have a good life for themselves, they are least bothered about the have nots, because a higher standard of living and more oppurtunities in our own country will lead to increased cost of labour and costs of land, which is a hindrance to their good life standards, we want more servants for us and not more employees..... because employees need to be treated fairly and servants (read slaves chained by poverty) needn't... Thus vote or not to vote? doesn't make a difference!

If we become a super power in the future it will be just because of the worldly remittances of our huge employable workforce and the oppurtunities it creates [the reason why MNCs are eagerly setting up offices in india] and not because of our governments or industrialists... we are gonna grow by the basic law of demand and supply in this world on which our middle class visionaries are working and not by any visionary leadership in politics that will ensure growth and development... what is required is a huge change in mindset of our people burying differences and working for the commom goal of overall development of our country with no differenciation... we need more developed towns/cities and villages and not a few burgeoning metropolis.... when there is a day that all want a change and there is a all inclusive overall development with a quest to become the superpower of the world , that will be the day we will have/choose better leaders... i would prefer to rather stand in a rally for more laws against corruption and exisiting corrupt people, then stand in the polling booth to choose a already decided destiny, only name or party or symbol changes and not goverance!
