Corruption & Happiness

It's interesting that often we are fighting against or yearning for things outside us without considering they might be within us.

Annagiri

I am amazed that such a mass hysteria has been created in this country, exploiting the emptiness in people's lives making it a fight against phantoms without looking at real issues. This is mobocracy. And it is crazy. May the soul of the nation show the right way.

Back at last

After ages in hibernation i am back with my self with the thought of the day....

"True knowledge is that sets you free"

I missed you!

Dear Blog,

SOS

This has been Season Of Scams(SOS). Not that there weren't scams earlier. But I don't know if it's coincidence but last few weeks have exposed scams of varying scales. Starting with the Common Wealth Games mess in Delhi ( which incidentally have actually helped Indians wake up to the games). Then there is the fixing fiasco in cricket. There is a movie coming up called 'The Social Network' which apparently shows the facebook founder Zuckerberg as having stolen the idea for his venture (fakebook?). There is this new ad of a bike featuring MS Dhoni and a cricket team which is a copy of an older Adidas Ad (to the last scene). Closer home, a leading jewellery brand unveiled his new identity with much fanfare. As it turns out, the logo was a straight lift from a ready-made logo website. And the jewellery brand in question positions itself on the premise of 'trust is everything'. The icing on the cake has been the new ambitious 3 minute film of Kerala tourism which has striking similarity to a 3 minute film of Mexico tourism (Cheetah become Elephant, Mexico becomes Kerala). Phew! And today I see the trailer of a new film of Hrithik Roshan. The scenes remind me of a lovely Thai insurance ad. Am I imagining? But then the movie 'Kites' had straight lifts of scenes from 'Road to Perdition'. It's a Season Of Shams. A Season Of Shame.

As good as 'Maa'
