It's time to change our attitude

Osama bin Laden is dead atlast. Americans were cheering like, they have won the football worldcup. In their eyes bin Laden is the most dangerous and wretched person ever lived on this planet, probably second to Hitler. Osama was a bad human being there is no argument about that, but cheering and enjoying the death of a person, even if it is your enemy is not a healthy practice. If we enjoy and take pride in killing then what is the difference between us and a guy a like Osama; he took pride in his jihadi killings and we take pride in our revenge.
Yesterday when i was going through the channels i happened to hear the official speech made by Ms. Hilary clinton, she said justice has been served and Osama had never valued human life. Were these Americans (American Govt. , not people) ever valued human life other than theirs. What did they do when they invade Panama, which was codenamed Operation Just Cause and nobody could forget what they did in vietnam.
I am not saying this to defend Osama's bad and cruel deeds, what i am saying is it is not a good sign, in being happy, over someone's deadbody. The most important thing is that how could Mr. Obama let his force kill Osama bin Laden. He should have tried to bring Osama bin Laden alive. Mr. President always says that he is a peace loving person and he is a great admirer of Gandhiji.

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...

Goeldi-chironomous

From time immemorial we humans have been thinking that the earth is a place which God built to teach us some manners. No religious texts seemed to mention another animals specifically and importantly as we. Everything was about us. We were the center of universe. Well this study puts one more bullet hole in that theory, because scientists found out that there could be more than 1 trillion species housing this planet. And we're just one among them. Oooh that sucks! Yes that's right, you've heard me, scientists have proof for that now. This profound work is funded by the National Science Foundation (NSF). It's such an amazing and groundbreaking effort by the scientific community,trying to map the biological diversity. The number of living beings shot up because this time extensive mapping of microbial life has been done. Usually people ignore the microbial diversity because they are invisible to the naked eye. The volume itself makes people's eyes pop out in amazeme...

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...
