About India


India's global face is changing. India is considered as one of the biggest developing countries. India and China are the two giants in Asia Pacific region. Economic gurus says we hold the key to future. Our GDP growth is immense. Even in the time of global crisis we stood firm and it affected us in the least. Two days earlier Pakistan's Finance Minister confessed that they cannot afford to buy armaments as India do, even at war India could easily go on for 45 days. And recently India entered into the list of top-12, having an HNI (high net worth individual) population 12th largest in the world. We all know our respected ex-President Dr. APJ Abdul Kalam said we could attain the status of a developed country i n 2020, if we plan our future commitments correctly.

But of course we have other side just like a coin. If we consider rural India the view is not so promising. People are migrating from village to cities in search of jobs. With agriculture promising no success at all, these people are forced to look for an alternative mean.However Govt. has organised and implemented certain plans like PMGSY, SGRY, SGSY etc. The main problem with our country's govt. for that matter people is that we don't do anything completely. we start with a bang then after some time the energy and momentum goes down. For these plan/yojnas to take affect we need to implement it correctly. Govt. should be always ready to react properly to the feedbacks from this yojnas.

In the past decade India had undergone a serious of changes in her attitude and culture. India became more and more globally acknowledgeable. We are now trying to cope with European and American economies as well as their culture. More and more economical ties with the other nations give you chance to mingle with different people with different culture. So as a result of that "cultural mingling "occurs. This definitely have its good and bad effects. We all know how much European culture affected our lives.

Our GDP growth may look promising but in real we have many areas which need proper look out. With more than 1.5 lack HNIs, our GDP would be looking cool, for sure. But the real India's soul lies in the commoners. As long as there are people suffering from poverty, illness, lack of proper education, we can't say that we are prospering.

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...
