Vedanta

Saw a documentary on NDTV today. I guess it was made by some reporter from London. NDTV might have purchased the telecast rights for it.

The reporter went to Orissa jungles, at the place where vedanta (a company) wanted to setup their mining operations. The jungle was so beautiful and people there (the tribal people) were happy too. They mentioned that they have everything and do not need anything else.

The shots taken from that place resembled a lot from Avatar movie. Maybe it was intentional to indicate that here too, in Orissa, a profit hungry organization wants to setup operation by displacing native people and by destroying nature.

Luckily, some weeks back Indian govt has withdrawn vedanta 's license to mine there.

Imagination

That bright sparkling beautiful face,
The silky hairs like infinity of space
The shining diamond in your necklace,
Smiling and proud at its fortunate fate


The whimsical eyes yet full of compassion,
The fingers like crafted out of passion,
Your presence gives the world its meaning,
Makes one doubt if its real or dreaming,


Everything around you is full of life,
Makes the nature come all alive,
The universe moves with your walk of grace,
Your gazing creates an intense craze


Are you real or an imagined fantasy,
Dawn upon me and take me to Ecstasy.

Meaning

Sometimes we use words without knowing their real meanings. I used to think 'हर हर महादेव' used to mean praising Lord Shiva. But while reading 'Immortals ......' I came to know that it means 'Everybody is Mahadev' .

MathUncle

One of my friend opened a site http://www.unclemath.com . It is good site for learning maths for kids. If any kid does not like maths then this site can generate the interest because the way it is designed...it challenges the kid step by step....

And if some kid is good in maths then too this site can hook him or her more into it...

Please tell your kid to visit it...s/he will like it...

Ideal Bharat

There is an underlying movement going on in India about making India

corruption free,

terrorism free,

place where women are respected,

having plenty and equal job opportunities for every citizen,

severely punishing the culprits of unforgivable crimes.

I sincerely wish they succeed. As hope is getting lost with parasitic natured politicians at the helm.

Immortals of Meluha

Ordered 'Immortals of Meluha' from infibeam. Got it yesterday. The reviews about this book had been good. Will read this weekend to see how Lord Shiva's story has been conveyed in this fiction novel.

InfiBeam Pi
