STRANGE BUT THINGS STARTED CHANGING IN INDIA!

LET ME FIRST TELL YOU THAT RIGHT FROM BEGINNING I HAD BEEN AN OPTIMISTIC PERSON, BUT I USED TO WORRY ABOUT SOCIETY, NATION AND HAD A FEEL THAT DUE TO PETTY REGIONAL POLITICAL GAINS POLITICIANS IN DIFFERENT STATES PARTICULARLY IN TAMILNADU, RAISED WALLS AND NOT ALLOWED THE COMMON MAN TO MINGLE WITH NATIONAL MAIN STREAM. IT APPEARS TO ME THAT GRADUALLY THINGS ARE CHANGING, LARGELY BECAUSE INVASION OF NUMBER OF TV CHANNELS.

REMEMBER, THESE POLITICIANS DID NOT ALLOW DOORDARSHAN HINDI NEWS IN TAMILNADU, BUT NOW PEOPLE ARE FREE TO WATCH ANY NUMBER OF HINDI ENTERTAINMENT AND NEWS CHANNELS THERE. NOW COMMON PEOPLE WATCH SUCH CHANNELS, THEY ALSO WANT THEIR CHILDREN TO LEARN HINDI SO THAT THEY MAY ALSO BE ABLE TO GRAB JOB OUTSIDE TAMILNADU.

I WAS IN TAMILNADU RECENTLY, AND WAS AMAZED TO FIND OUT THAT THE YOUNG PEOPLE BORN AND BROUGHT UP IN HINDI MAINLAND HAVE STARTED COMING THERE FOR JOBS AS WELL AS TO ENCASH BUSINESS OPPORTUNITIES. I WAS TAKING MY DINNER IN A HIGH PROFILE RESTURANT IN COIMBTORE, I SAW A BUNCH OF IT PROFESSIONALS FROM IBM ENJOYING THEIR DINNER I TRIED TO UNDERSTAND THEIR LINGO, ENGLISH AND A LARGE PART IN HINDI ALSO. THIS IS IN THE TAMIL HEARTLAND. NEXT DAY THE SAME RESTURANT A DIFFERENT GROUP TALKING IN HINDI, MY CURIOSITY GROWN, I TRIED TO FIND OUT WHO THESE PEOPLE ARE, THIS WAS A FAMILY GROUP, RECENTLY SETTLED IN PALLAKAD TO START A NEW BUSINESS UNIT AND HAILS FROM MEERUT. THESE ARE ONLY INDICATIVE EXAMPLES, THIS TRIBE IS GRADUALLY INCREASING.

YOU REMEMBER, THERE WAS A TIME WHEN INDIA BECAME FREE, THE MAJORITY OF CENTRAL SECRTARIAT JOBS WERE GRABED BY EDUCATED TAMILIANS, WE AT THAT TIME USED TO HAVE AN IMPRESSION THAT MADRASI'S ARE HIGHLY EDUCATED KNOW GOOD ENGLISH. THIS PERCEPION DEVELOPED BECAUSE OUR INTERACTION WITH TAMILIANS WAS CONFINED TO ONLY EDUCATED STATRA OF TAMIL SOCIETY, ORDINARY PEOPLE OF TAMILNADU WERE DEPRIVED OF QUALITY EDUCATION, DID NOT LEARN ENGLISH OR HINDI. WITH THE RESULT COULD NOT BE A PART OF NATIONAL MAIN STREAM.

THINGS ARE CHANGING NOW FOR BETTERMENT, LET THIS INFLOW AND OUTFLOW SHOULD TAKE A FASTER PACE.

Is Kedli Mother of Idli : Tried To Find Out Answer In Indonesia

-

Recently I traveled to Indonesia and surprised to learn that culturally Indonesian are very close to us. Even their food has certain commonality. And interestingly I come to know that our very own Idli has its origin in Indonesia. Let us start with religion. Hindu and Budhist influences arrived in this archipelago much before birth of Jesus Christ. It is however unclear that how the cultural and spiritual ideas from India were diffused in the area. It appears that there had been regular trade links between southern part of India with Ceylon, Java, Sumatra, Bali as well as many other Islands in Indian as well as Pacific ocean. The traders from India brought their cultural, culinary and religious influences. Java legends refer to Saka-era, traced to 78 AD . Stories from the famous epic Mahabharat have been traced in Indonesian islands to the 1st century; whose versions mirror those found in southeast Indian peninsular region. The Javanese prose work Tantu Pagelaran of the 14th cent...

I met Punit Pania yesterday at Independence Brewing Company. an happening watering hole in Lokhandwala area just before his stand-up comedy act. In fact he was generous enough to share his space with The Book  Club event on first floor of pub, he shared his journey from a safe Corporate Den to the wild world of stand-up comedians. Punit is a Non-Gujju born and broughtup in Gujju dominated Society in Kandivali East as a protected child, where his parents did not allow him to travel any place beyond the reach of auto rikshaw ! Not only that her mother was so protective that she was happy to concede her son's intent to start a pathological lab in the area so that he come every day for maa ke haath kaa dopahar ka khana ! But destiny thought otherwise, after spending seven years in Corporate World , Punit became a stand-up comedian.  Protected, safe and secured years of salaried existence, he came out of the closet. Punit is the single man behind Chalta Hai Comedy – a...

Elton John is my most favorite singer. He is a singer, songwriter, pianist and composer all rolled into one. In terms of sales, he is the fourth-best-selling music artist worldwide . In 1998, he was knighted by British Queen this got ‘Sir’ title, but for music lover like me whether he is Sir or not a Sir , it is immaterial. He has won heart of millions of music lovers, that is more important. These days I am living in Harrow Burroughs of London, Pinner is a part of it. Yesterday I was in Pinner Library and out of a conversation between two young ladies I come to know that this international rock sensation was born and brought up in this area only. I asked the ladies  about the details. Than they shared that he was born in house at 55, Pinner Hill Road in March 1947. One of them told me more : that he was the eldest child of Stanley Dwight and the only child of Sheila Eileen. The boy was named Reginald Kenneth Dwight, and raised in the council house of his grandparents at 55, Pinn...
