McCain Vs Obama

I was watching the first United States presidential debate 2008, on this Friday evening. :)
(I have been working on all last three consecutive Saturdays and this was a much-needed weekend for me.)
Yet I sat down in front of TV to watch this, just because I think that this debate is one of those few, which might change the world we live in, and the world would listen to. McCain Vs Obama.

I am not a conservative, liberal, democrat, or republican; yeah its true that I was affectionate towards conservative ideology some time back in my life but now I truly believe in pure solutions for issues, rather than solutions adhering to some political dogmas.
There were so many thoughts, fears, and doubts that rushed thru my mind while I was watching it and I just wanted to "key them down"
(Pen is a thing of the past) here.

Why the "hell" world would listen to what these folks has to say? Because fate the world we live in depends on one of these guys.
After Nov 08, when one of these guys is going to in the most powerful position of human-being’s world, the decision they make would impact the course of our life, our survival, and even human genesis, and with all respects McCain doesn’t seemed to be fit for that.

He seemed to be interested in “WAR” on Iran, Russia, N Korea and amny more. May be the ‘POW’ wants to take revenge for his suffering on the entire world. He says he wont talk, and makes fun of Obama who said that he would like to resolve issues diplomatically. He was so obsessed with the word “Pre-Conditions”, and looked like a goon who wants to dictate others on muscle power. Does he still believe that any one can rule, or bring order to this world by force?? Does he think that those radicals would come to his desk with a “pre-condition” stating that they will do what ever he says? Conflict or WAR is not a solution for anything. It has been proved over and over again.

He seemed to think that surge in Iraq was a good decision. C’mon the whole world knows the truth, and he still want to stay in Iraq? He talks about sanctions on Iran, who made Iran so powerful, when Saddam was alive Iran never spoke a word!! He didn’t seem to be concerned about Taliban, Al-Quieda and the Bin-laden, who is still creating problems in Afghanistan and most parts of the world, hiding in Pakistan.
Please don’t give me that tactics and strategy stuff anymore, that sounds like a losers terminologies to me, I have heard those words in IT and Business a lot.
He says about “Winning in IRAQ ????”, and “Failed State in Pakistan when Gen. Mush coup’ed the legally elected government“ OMG!! Another series of false-intelligence-information.

He seemed so arrogant and offensive when he talked about Obama’s statements about diplomacy and dialogue.

He doesn’t looks interested in economy at all. Many country’s stock markets falls 3 to 4 digit figures when US markets loses one point.
The world economy is based on US$ and that very $ is in danger. McCain looks least bothered about that; he is more interested in another Cold-War era. He might have his own arguments for ignoring the collapsing economy, after all the “fundamentals of the economy are still strong”. Yeah it is very strong, we are still using cash, not yet downgraded to barter system, and strong enough that he can think about another war now.

He went on saying that he has got a long record of experience; I would say it’s a shame if he has not learned from those. I remember a T-Shirt print I saw in LA “Never Argue with idiots... They bring you down to their level and then beat you with experience.”

I not an Obama fan, but I definitely oppose and detest McCain now.

Ant and Grasshopper

From lot of email forwards, this one struck me. !!

An Old Story:
The Ant works hard in the withering heat all summer building its house and
laying up supplies for the winter. The Grasshopper thinks the Ant is a fool and laughs & dances & plays the
summer away. Come winter, the Ant is warm and well fed. The Grasshopper has no food or
shelter so he dies out in the cold.

Indian Version:
The Ant works hard in the withering heat all summer building its house and
laying up supplies for the winter. The Grasshopper thinks the Ant's a fool and laughs & dances & plays the
summer away.
Come winter, the shivering Grasshopper calls a press conference and
demands to know why the Ant should be allowed to be warm and well fed
while others are cold and starving.
NDTV, BBC, CNN show up to provide pictures of the shivering Grasshopper
next to a video of the Ant in his comfortable home with a table filled
with food. The World is stunned by the sharp contrast. How can this be that this poor
Grasshopper is allowed to suffer so?

Arundhati Roy stages a demonstration in front of the Ant's house.

Medha Patkar goes on a fast along with other Grasshoppers demanding that
Grasshoppers be relocated to warmer climates during winter .

Mayawati states this as `injustice' done on Minorities.

Amnesty International and Ban Ki Moon criticize the Indian Government for
not upholding the fundamental rights of the Grasshopper.

The Internet is flooded with online petitions seeking support to the
Grasshopper (many promising Heaven and Everlasting Peace for prompt
support as against the wrath of God for non-compliance) .

Opposition MPs stage a walkout. Left parties call for ' Bengal Bandh' in
West Bengal and Kerala demanding a Judicial Enquiry.

CPM in Kerala immediately passes a law preventing Ants from working hard
in the heat so as to bring about equality of poverty among Ants and
Grasshoppers.

Lalu Prasad allocates one free coach to Grasshoppers on all Indian Railway
Trains, aptly named as the 'Grasshopper Rath'.

Finally, the Judicial Committee drafts the ' Prevention of Terrorism
Against Grasshoppers Act' [POTAGA], with effect from the beginning of the
winter.

Arjun Singh makes 'Special Reservation ' for Grasshoppers in Educational
Institutions & in Government Services.


The Ant is fined for failing to comply with POTAGA and having nothing left
to pay his retroactive taxes,it's home is confiscated by the Government
and handed over to the Grasshopper in a ceremony covered by NDTV.

Arundhati Roy calls it ' A Triumph of Justice'.

Lalu calls it 'Socialistic Justice '.

CPM calls it the ' Revolutionary Resurgence of the Downtrodden '

Ban ki Moon invites the Grasshopper to address the UN General Assembly.

Many years later....

The Ant has since migrated to the US and set up a multi-billion dollar
company in Silicon Valley,

100s of Grasshoppers still die of starvation despite reservation somewhere
in India ,

..AND
As a result of loosing lot of hard working Ants and feeding the
grasshoppers,
.
INDIA IS STILL A DEVELOPING COUNTRY !!!

Kerala School Text Book Revision







Our dear land , "doGs own country" Kerala (more aptly its political goons ) requires some other issues for their survival. They will keep making such issues, Does any one really think that just because of this chapter, all those who study will become "Godless". ??
No, not even those who are making havoc about this. But then why ?
Unless there is an issue, our dear political frauds wont be selling ,,
Its just like Pepsi/Coke coming up with new ad. The are in market, to keep that they need to keep ad'ing.
We don't have good roads, hospitals, health care, housing, jobs, anything considered good and required for quality living conditions for that matter, in Kerala. Instead of solving such major problems that are hazardous to human life, those geeks are staging a crap show ?
So I adopted, "Boycott Kerala Politics - Mentally, Physically, Socially, and Economically"

മലയാളിയും പിന്നെ റെസ്റ്റ് ഒഫ് ദ വേള്‍ഡും..

മലയാളിയും പിന്നെ റെസ്റ്റ് ഒഫ് ദ വേള്‍ഡും..

മലയാളിയുടെ കുറെ മിഥ്യാധാരണകള്‍, ലോകത്തെ മറ്റുള്ളവര്‍ മലയാ‍ളിയെ നോക്കികാണുന്നത്, ഏന്നിവയാണു ഇന്നെനിക്കു ചവയ്ക്കാന്‍ വക. ഒരു മറുനാടന്‍ സ്നെഹിതനുമായുള്ള വാഗ്വാദത്തിന്ടെ പരിണിതഫലം.

നൂറു ശതമാനം സാക്ഷരതയുടെ പേരില്‍ ഏറ്റവും കൂടുതല്‍ അഹങ്കരിക്കുന്ന മലയാളിയും, മലയാള ഭാഷയുടെ കാവല്‍ക്കാരും,
അറിയാതെ പോയ ഒരു കാര്യം ഒരു പക്ഷെ മലയാളിക്കു ഇംഗ്ലീഷ് സംസാരിക്കാന്‍ അറിയില്ല എന്നതായിരിക്കും !!
ഞെട്ടിയൊ ? അതെ അതാണു സത്യം. മറുനാട്ടില്‍ പൊയി ജോലി ചെയ്യുന്ന ഏതൊരു മലയാളിക്കും ബോധ്യം വന്നിട്ടുള്ളതാവും ഇക്കാര്യം. ലോകത്തെ സകലമാന ചരാചരത്തെയും കളിയാക്കുന്ന മലയാളി കളിയാക്കപെടുന്ന ഏതാനും മേഖലകളില്‍ ഒന്ന് ഇതാണ്, പിന്നെ ചാ‍യക്കട, വെറുതെയുള്ള ജാഡ, മുറുക്കാന്‍ കടക്കും “ഇന്ടെര്‍നാഷണല്‍” എന്നു പേരിടുന്ന, ഉഷ്ണത്തിന്ടെ ഉച്ചസ്ഥായിയിലും കോട്ടും കണ്ഡകൌപീനവും കെട്ടുന്ന ജാഡ.
ഒരു അന്യസംസ്ഥാനത്തിലെ റേഡിയൊ ചാ‍നലില്‍ ഒരു കഥാപാത്രം തന്നെയുണ്ട് മലയാളിയുടെ ഇംഗ്ലീഷ് ഉച്ചാരണശൈലിയെ “പ്രകീര്‍ത്തിക്കുവാന്‍‍”.
“സിംബിളി ജംബിങ് ഫൊര്‍ ദ യെല്ലൊ ഫ്രൂ‍ട്ട് ആണ്ട് ലൈക്ക്ഡ്ഡ് ദ ഫുഡ്ഡ്“ ഇതു കേഴ്ക്കാത്ത മറുനാടന്‍ മലയാളികള്‍ വളരെ ചുരുക്കമാവും. മലയാളി ഇന്നും എന്നും ഇംഗ്ലീഷ് സംസാരിക്കുന്നതു മലയാളത്തിലാണ്. ഇംഗ്ലീഷ് ഇംഗ്ലീഷായും മലയാളം മലയാളമായും സംസാരിക്കുന്നതിനു പകരം എന്നും മംഗ്ലീഷ് ആണു മലയാളിക്കു പഥ്യം. കട്ടപ്പനക്കു പുറത്ത് ലോകം കണ്ടിട്ടില്ലാത്ത,
കുട്ടപ്പന്‍ടെ മകള്‍ തങ്കമണിയും കോളേജിലെത്തിയാ‍ല്‍ പിന്നെ “മലയാലം പരയാന്‍ അരിയാമെങ്കിലും എയുതാ‍ന്‍ അരിയില്ല“.. മറൈന്‍ ഡ്രൈവില്‍ “ഇന്ടെര്‍നാഷണല്‍ സൊഫ്റ്റ്വയര്‍ “ കമ്പനി എം ഡി തരക് വിദേശി “കസ്റ്റമേര്‍സിന്ടെ ഫൊണ്‍ കാ‍ള്‍“ അറ്റെന്റ്റു ചെയ്യാറില്ല, കാരണം “മൈ ഇംഗ്ലീഷ് റ്റാക്കിങ് വെരി ബാഡ് സൊ മൈ സെക്രട്ടറി യൂ റ്റു റ്റാ‍ക്കിങ്”, ഇതല്ലേ വിരോധാഭാസം !! ? കേരളത്തിനു പുറത്തു മലയാളിയെ തിരിച്ചറിയാന്‍ ഒരു ഒറ്റ ഇംഗ്ലീഷ് വാചകം മതി.

എത്രയും പെട്ടന്നു വേണ്ടതു നമ്മുടെ വിദ്യാഭ്യാസ പദ്ധതികളിലുള്ള മാറ്റമാണ്, ഇംഗ്ലീഷ് ഇംഗ്ലീഷായി സംസാരിക്കാന്‍ പഠിക്കണം, പരിശീലിക്കണം. ഇംഗ്ലീഷ് ഭാഷ സംസാരിക്കെണ്ടതു മലയാളത്തിന്ടെ തര്‍ജ്ജമയായിട്ടല്ല എന്നു മനസ്സിലാക്കണം, ഇംഗ്ലീഷില്‍ ചിന്തിക്കണം, പക്ഷെ എതൊന്നും മലയാളത്തെ മറന്നു കൊണ്ടാവരുത്. എന്തെന്നാല്‍ നമ്മുടെ ദ്രാവിഡ ഭാഷകളോളം മാധുര്യമുള്ള മറ്റൊരു ഭാഷയുമില്ല ഈ ഭൂലൊകത്ത്. പക്ഷെ ഭാഷകളെ അതിന്ടേതായ രുചിയൊടെ ഉപയൊഗിചില്ലെങ്കില്‍ നാം ഇനിയും പരിഹാസ്യരാവും.

അടുത്തതു ജാഡയെക്കുറിച്ചാണ്. നാട്ടിലെ ചില “കമ്പനി” കളില്‍ കോട്ടിട്ട “സൊഫ്റ്റ്വയര്‍ എഞിനീയര്‍മാരെ” കാണുമ്പൊള്‍,
പരിഹാസമല്ല, പരിതാമാണു തോന്നുക. കോട്ടും ടൈയും നമ്മുടെതുപൊലെ ഉഷണ പ്രദേശങള്‍ക്കുള്ളതല്ല. ഒരു “ഇമേജ് ഒപ്പിക്കാന്‍“ കോട്ടും ടൈയും ഉപയോഗിക്കുന്നത് ഒരു തരം നിന്ദ്യമായ അപകര്‍ഷതാബോധത്തില്‍ നിന്നുണര്‍ന്ന അനുകരണവാസനയാണ്. അമേരിക്കയും, യൂറൊപ്പും കോട്ടും ടൈയും സ്വീകരിചതു അവിടത്തെ തണുത്ത കാലാവസ്ഥ മൂലമാണ്. വേനല്‍ക്കാലത്ത് അവിടെയും ആരും കഴിവതും അവ ഉപയോഗിക്കാറില്ല. ഒരൊ പ്രദേശങള്‍ക്കും തനതാ‍യ വസ്ത്രധാരണ ശൈലികളുന്ട്, അതില്‍ മാന്യമായവ തിരെഞ്ഞെടുക്കാം, (മാറു മറയ്ക്കത്തതും നമ്മുടെ ശൈലിയാണൊ എന്ന കുസ്രുതിച്ചൊദ്യത്തിന്നുള്ള മുന്‍ കരുതല്‍. ) അതു പൊലെ പല പല ജാഡകളുണ്ട് നമ്മുടെ കൊച്ചു കേരളത്തിലെ “കൊര്‍പറേറ്റ്” മേഖലയില്‍. “മാനേജിങ് ഡയര്‍ക്ടര്‍” അഥവാ “യെം. ഡി” അതു പൊലൊരു ജാഡയാണ്.
നാലു പേര് ജോലി ചെയ്യുന്ന ഒരു സ്ഥാപനത്തിലും ഒരു “യെം. ഡി” ഉണ്ടായിരിക്കും, നമ്മുടെ കേരളത്തില്‍ മാത്രം കാണാവുന്ന ഒരു പ്രതിഭാസം !
സ്വയം അവലൊകനം നടത്തി അവനവനെ “ശരിയാക്കുക“, അല്ലാതെ ഇതിനു പ്രത്യെകിച്ചു പരിഹാരമില്ല, അല്ലെങ്കില്‍ എനിക്കതറിയില്ല,

പിന്നെ നായരുടെ ചായക്കട, അതിനെക്കുറിച്ചു പറയുന്നവര്‍ പറയട്ടെ! വാ കഴക്കുമ്പൊള്‍ നിര്‍ത്തിക്കൊള്ളും, നല്ലൊരു ചായയും
പരിപ്പുവടയും,പഴം പൊരിയും .. ഗ്ലും..ഗ്ലും..കഴിച്ചിട്ടു കുറച്ചു നാളായി.!!

പിന്നെ കാണാം !!

Who is She ??..



HOW CAN ONE ACCEPT THIS .................................

I STILL CANT Understand WHAT was the concept behind this??

SEE in the PICTURES ....WHERE THE FLAG of OUR NATION IS?

Hyde Act and Karat Pact

I don't understand why our so-called leftist are always against USA in each and every thing. They see "CIA hand" in Kanichukulanga kootakola (massacre), and "Smarajythua shakthikal" (Imperial Forces) behind Thangamani case and even see US secret agents in Moonar. Whom are they trying to make fools saying all these. ? Do they think they are the only intelligent creatures alive?

Comrades, This is 2008, Indian mass is much more educated than what you think. They no more can be made to belive that US congress and Congress party are associates because of similarity in name. You may teach though in your party classes.. CIAs of the world has much better jobs to do, rather than to worry about "CPI and M in Kerala", you are so belittled that you pose no threat to them. Keep your eyes open, and try to come out of that self made hutch at times to look at yourself just to realizes that what a fool you have made of you!

I don't buy that they are supporting Chinese interests as many opines, because they don't have the class and ability to think in such high terms. I don't see any affinity to Chinese in them. Moreover China has embraced the capitalist approach long ago and booming towards a developed economy.

Some one told that we should not associate with Bush and US as they have blood of Iraq on their hand, he comfortably forgot the fact that the whole world knows about communist massacres. The communist and has never been a Messiah of peace and non-violence, instead they have been mercenary killers around the world.
Remember the graves at Katyn, Red Army in Nemmersdorf , Khmer Rouge, Tiananmen Square, Tibet and Nandigram ?

Ideology of communism was great in the long past, but there were so many pit falls in the theory of classes. Marx's and Engels' of the world saw only economic factors for a social life, where as its only one constituent of the whole human society.

There is an ever growing energy demands all over the world and more economies have raised questions on the impact of global energy availability.

This country needs Energy, nuke or anything, and when some one is doing something about it, its atrocious to play pressure tactics. It would have been more productive and positive if Left parties suggested practically-possible alternatives rather than vehemently opposing it. Debate should have been more on capping third party liabilities, establishing the liability pool for protection of US etc. We need this agreement help us to fulfill our soaring energy demands and to enter into a strategic partnership with the US.

People would cheer for the leaders who unite for a common cause, prosperity. This country deserves a better class of politician, and not criminals. Politics doesn't means to solely disagree, at times when its in the best interest of people, there should be some consensus. The world cannot live the way Marx or Engels envisioned, they weren't God, and more over the society and system has changed a lot since after 1894. What was scientific socialism in 1890's is now Utopian socialism. What so ever its, how many Desi Comrades belive in communist system, most of them are just part of it for the profits of it.


Any way its a good decision to stay off the allience if you disagree, rather than to do a "Dog in the haystack" , four years is a long time playing that.
Let some one do a good job..
