Mother's Day

Being a mother is a gift. I don't believe any women can be mother. It takes lots of sacrifice, guts and selflessness. Usually we call everyone who gives birth, a mother or a father. Its not that simple. A mother is a symbol, an idea. Any women can give birth but not everyone worthy to be called mother, same with father. We even use phrase, "motherly instincts" in our daily vocabulary.  We have many famous and not so famous mothers like Irom sakhi Devi, mother of "The Iron Lady of Manipur" Irom chanu sharmila, who hasn't saw her daughter for more than 10 years except one or two visits to hospital. Its been years since she caressed her daughter, spoke to her. This mother is fully aware of the depth of the issues her daughter stands for. She wishes good luck and is proud of her daughter. She even promised herself to not to disturb or try to see her daughter, till all of this isn't over.  Now thats some tough and hard core love mixed with pride and respect. She represent the admirableness of love,pain and sacrifice a mother had to endure for her sibling.

Now here, it's altogether another story where we can see the effects of love in the form of what a young boy from Karnataka state had done for his mother. He daily see his mother walking kilometers to get water for the household. One day he decided to help her by doing something crazy enough for the people to mock and discourage him. Most important thing is that he is a bloody teenager, such a tender age. Here he decided to dig a well of his own, at home. His mother tried to discourage him and requested to go back on this Goliath task, but he was resilient. For 1 month he dug on his own with out any help from any outsiders. After that he took the help from professional diggers and completed the task in 2 months. He dug 45 feet on his own. Now thats something near impossible to ordinary minds. But his sheer determination, duty and love towards  his mother enabled to completed the task successfully. Now thats something heroic.

What better stories to share than these two, on this special day of May 8th which is celebrated as Mother's Day. Both the stories represent the love. To every parents their kids are precious. We are the apple of their eye. What better thing to give them than love them and surprise them with little sacrifices we are ready to make for them. Happy Mother's day to all.

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...

Legacy of Balasaheb Thackeray

I hope everyone has noticed the excitement created by the death of Bala Saheb Thackeray. Its just fine if you want to pay tribute to Mr.Thackeray and call him a great visionary and all. India is a democratic country you have every right to do as you please as long as it doesn't obstruct someone else's right. But when Maharashtra govt. arrested two girls charging them, of hurting religious feelings(Section 295 (a)) and IT Act for posting anti-Thackeray comments in facebook, any man in his/her right mind would agree, they have over-stepped their boundary. What religion are they talking about, he is a political leader,whose motto was to carry off non-Maharashtriyans from Maharashtra. Actually what the girls did was, one among them posted some comment on facebook wall and the other girl liked it. Those remarks showed their anger against the "bandh"(strike) on the day of Thackeray's death. If that wasn't enough shiv sainiks vandalised one of the girl's uncle...

Long live humans

I always wondered by the fact that on what basis did they give Mr. Obama a Nobel peace prize. All that i can remember what he did is talking. Or is it because he wrote a book, then its definitely not a big deal at all. Even Paris Hilton did publish books. Any one can write a book now a days, if it is by a celebrity then its going to be a best seller even if it has blank pages. As far as i know you don't expect to acquire peace by talking, you need to do something for that. Even so i think he is much much better than Mr.Bush. In India we have a decent and respectable man as a PM but as we all know he doesn't have a say in any matter. He must stand up to his reputation. People think he is just a puppet in the hands of Congress. If we go to Italy it is worse in there. PM is a morally  deteriorated person. The man slept with almost every women he came across and is accused with paying money for underage sex. Still the guy is shameless. Another one is Mr.Gaddhafi who is not r...
