This Iyer is a little funny ...

I know this post is a little too late and the reason why I delayed it was to relive the moment a little later. The day which will be etched in my memory till my doom, is 2nd April 2011 and a verse which I want to be as an epitaph on my tomb is “Sachin kissed his World Cup”. In spite of me falling terribly sick that day, I gathered some strength to watch this epic final between India and Sri Lanka. I never expected INDIA to reach this stage, but some stupendous batting and fielding performance by the men-in-blue proved me wrong. I am gonna take you all through the emotions and highlights of this Cricket World Cup 2011. The way Sehwag started this World Cup was in itself a very special and a memorable one, starting the series with a sexy cover drive and continuing to start his innings with a 4 on 5 consecutive innings is something special. India looked very strong against the minnows Bangladesh in the opening match and that performance could have given shivers in the spine of every...

Once again this emotional country rises up to the occasion and started another emotional movement called this "LokPal", maybe we are carried away by visuals we saw on television over the revolution that took place in Egypt and Libya, so this country too wanted its name on the global media and hence started this movement called "LokPal". Before even I put forth my views in this post, let me tell you all, I am not against Anna Hazare, I don't belong to any political party, none of my relatives or friends are into politics, I am one amongst you, but not the one who usually gets carried away by the emotional current that circulates around me. Ok what is all this hungama about this new movement started by Anna Hazare? Thanks to all those email forwards which enlightened me with the reason and cause for such movement and the following emotional tide that swept the nation, similar to how we all reacted when the media screamed "Save the Tigers", I can bet, ...

I apologize to my readers for using violent terms in this post, but as everyone knows blog is to only vent your anger in a better way and that too to a wider audience. So what triggered this useless INDIAN is, a bunch of dollar earning idiots who just have a birth certificate to prove that they are from INDIAN origin, who ran out of this country saying INDIA is no good, who cribs and compares every issues of INDIA with the US, who have not thought of doing any good to their motherland have decided to go for a “Dandi March” in the fucking US land and for what?? To fight against corruption in INDIA, What the FUCK, this to me sounds like, you doing a surgery in your leg for a heart problem. With no offence meant on the NRI’s, I would like to say, they better mind their own job of running behind the dollars and keep escaping from problems, they have NO RIGHT on our country, they are not tax payers, they do not have rights to vote, why then worrying so much about INDIA? We are a unit of...

Got this wonderful piece of article as an email forward, I thought that every INDIAN should understand this and reflect it back into our system in the form of casting their vote sensibly. Unfortunately this piece is in TAMIL, so non-tamilians kindly excuse. This article does not reflect my assessment of this issue, though I would second every line of this article. நண்பர்களே!!!   தே சிய அவமானமான ஸ்பெக்ட்ரம் பற்றி நாம் அறிவோம் ,  அதில் ஒண்ணேமுக்கால் லட்சம் கோடி ரூபாய் அளவுக்கெல்லாம் ஊழல் செய்யப்படவேயில்லை என்றெல்லாம் மக்களே பேச ஆரம்பித்துவிட்டனர். ராஜா கைது தான் செய்யப்பட்டாரே தவிர குற்றம் நிரூபிக்கப்படவில்லை ,  அதுவரை நாங்கள் அவரை அரவணைத்துக் காப்போம் என்கிறார் முதல்வர். இது தினம் ஒரு அறிக்கை வரும் தேர்தல் நேரம் , மக்கள் சிந்திக்க வேண்டிய காலம் ,  அப்படி ஸ்பெக்ட்ரம் ஊழலில் மெய்யாகவே நடந்தது என்ன  ?!!!  என்பதை துபாயில் பணிபுரியும் சிவக்குமார் என்னும் பொறியாளர் அருமையாக ஆய்வு செய்து எழுதியுள்ளார் ,  இது இப்போது இமெயிலில் வரத்துவங்கிவிட்டது ,  இனிய...

Image Courtesy - http://images.google.com Before even my readers proceed further, let me assure you folks that my marriage is very much on and running with its expected issues and workarounds, so this article is not based on my life’s real life events, though there would some similarity but that would be mere coincidence. Off late I am hearing a lot of horror stories about marriages crumbling faster than the time it took for the parents to arrange one for their child, yes, I am talking about arranged marriages here and not about love marriages, may be that needs a separate post as the complexity involved in the later is much more than what we usually encounter in marriages arranged by parents. Mine being an arranged marriage, I too had my slice of issues which cropped up post marriage and not known before marriage, hence one theory which can be easily proved and agreed upon is, in an arranged marriage, the time given for the guy and the girl to select their partner is not sufficient....

One of my article has been published in an online "ViewsPaper" and this is my first try as a "Columnist" for an online-newspaper. You can find the same at - http://theviewspaper.net/youth-o-phobia/ The modern INDIA is loaded with bunch of professionals from both sex and they are considered to be the future and spine of this ever “developing” nation, but my worry is, for the past 20 years we are being addressed only as a “Developing” nation and not a “Developed Nation”. Countries like Singapore, Malaysia who do not have a rich background like what we have, are already a “Developed” countries now, and our country which is close to 2000 years in age is still a “Developing” country. The only phobia that haunts today’s politicians is “Youth-O-Phobia”, they just cannot do any gimmicks in front of today’s youth power, but the irony is, today’s youth are more than happy to say “I don’t follow politics”, well, there are many reasons to make that statement, as today’s po...
