Suffocating Julian Assange.....


In the walks of life you will always happen to see extraordinary people, doing extraordinary things. Why is it extraordinary, can't everyone do it? of course everyone can, but nobody would dare to, that's what makes it extraordinary. i think Julian Assange is one such man who deserve the title "extraordinary". He represents the "free world" where there are no classified files, no top secrets, where everyone has the right for information. Yes, there are many pros and cons for this, but still we can check overspending in the name of national security and violation of human rights.

Mr. Assange has now reached a blind alley, no the right words would be the big power players drew him to a blind alley. Legal actions against him are violations of human rights, i.e they are denying him freedom of expression. Now Wikileaks are forced to withheld its operation due to the financial blockade by Bank of America, VISA, Master Card, Paypal and Western Union. American government which lectures about the denial freedom of speech in China, North Korea, Venezuela etc mindfully neglecting their misdeeds. When wikileaks published documents regarding American foreign policies and their secret meetings they got agitated. Wikileaks torn apart the false masks of all governments and exposed their misdeeds. Around the globe more than 72% of people, including America, support Wikileaks. They can't force people from helping Wikileaks that's why they are blocking the medium through  which help comes. He pleaded for the help of all those people who cares. I don't understand when did consensual sex become rape. After all the accusations this is what they can came up with, a sex scandal, and they are extraditing him to Sweden, for saying truth. Most shameful and pathetic day of our history. Our world is going through a tough transitional stage. Power is shifting from a small group of people, who always thought they have some kind of hereditary superiority over others, to the common men. American government's double- facedness is chocking them. Their government is defiling the entire American nationality.

Major disclosures by Wikileaks

August 2007- Kenya Corruption
November 2007- Guantanamo manual
September 2009- Toxic dumping in Ivory Coast
April 2010- Killing of Reuters' journalists by U.S helicopters in Iraq
July 2010- Afghan war logs
October 2010- Iraq war logs
November 2010- Cablegate(U.S diplomatic cables)
March 2011- India cables
April 2011- Guantanamo files
May 2011- Pakistan cables

If this is what happens when truth is told, its high time we have to reinvent ourselves and our political systems.

The bloodsucking Yakshi

When I was a kid, April and May fell in the list of my favourite months. Not because it's going to rain and there would be mud all around, but those are the months my cousins would be here at our family house, in our hometown in Kerala. Those are the memories I would cherish forever. My grand-mother has 5 offsprings, 4 boys and a girl. My father is the second eldest of five. Then, he was the only one staying in Kerala and everyone else was in different parts of India, a Pan-India Family one could say. We were all present, it's like Parliament, shouting, laughing, scolding children, people everywhere, busy doing their chores. An outsider entering the home can still go unnoticed. Life was less complicated then. We were just ........just ourselves. Everyone you valued dearly is with you. It's like, the world has shrunken to a square block of bricks and mortar. Now it's all feel like a fairy-tale, one of the best things about joint-family. We are all tired of day's

THE EPIC - where to draw the line?

India is the land where history and myth get intertwined in such a way that you cannot say which is which. One of India's gift to the world of literature is her majestic epical wonder " Mahabharata ", attributed to some one(might be one person or many) called Vyasa or Vyas ( Ved Vyas ) which literally means one who dissected 'Veda' (religious and philosophical writings of Hindu religion). Research on this great epic revealed that many appendage had been done to the original text , before it became whole. Mahabharata's impact on Indian psyche is so profound that people consumed every word of it as such.  Characters were being worshipped as role models, like modern day Bollywood stars. As the generations passed by, line which divides the story and reality started blurring. Stories told and retold, appended stories that were not present at the beginning happened, kind of regional versions. Many dynasties and empires came and gone everyone tried to leave t

Dream Catcher

Baby was cooing subtly while lying in her bed. Her eyelids are twitching quickly, and she seems fidgety. making tiny noises as though she's dreaming. Her tiny, chubby arms and legs are up in the air, perhaps grasping for something. "Don't worry, little one" a cool breeze swept the room, whispering softly to the baby. The dream-catcher that was hanging on the door began to cling to the wind. Baby's face is now serene. Her tiny legs and limbs are now at rest. She let out a small smile and a chuckle. She is enjoying her dream. She can hear dream-catcher singing to her. "   Oh.. creator of this  mighty   universe,      Please watch over her in your righteous way.      Be with her now, and guard her smile for eons to come   "
