Naxalite

This is one of the biggest threats to the nation. I was reading a book called India After Gandhi and got to know this interesting fact. This text is from web and is more or less the same which I read in the book.

"The term comes from Naxalbari, a small village in West Bengal, where a section of Communist Party of India (Marxist) (CPI(M)) led by Charu Majumdar and Kanu Sanyal led a violent uprising in 1967, trying to develop a "revolutionary opposition" in opposition to the CPI(M) leadership. The insurrection started on May 25, 1967 in Naxalbari village when a peasant was attacked by hired hands over a land dispute. Local peasants retaliated by attacking the local landlords and the violence escalated. Majumdar greatly admired Mao Zedong of China and advocated that Indian peasants and lower classes must follow in his footsteps and overthrow the government and upper classes whom he held responsible for their plight. He engendered the Naxalite movement through his writings, the most famous being the 'Historic Eight Documents' which formed the basis of Naxalite ideology. In 1967 'Naxalites' organized the All India Coordination Committee of Communist Revolutionaries (AICCCR), and later broke away from CPI(M). Uprisings were organized in several parts of the country. In 1969 AICCCR gave birth to Communist Party of India (Marxist-Leninist)."

How much do you believe: I will resign, says Maharashtra deputy CM

See the more irony here: "I pondered over the issue the whole night yesterday. Finally, I have decided to quit as per my conscience," Patil said.

How much do an average Indian believe in this. He did this after 3 days ? I mean what kind of leaders we have and with what hope we can live. There are thousands of Indian who relocated or wanted to relocate to India and work on Mother land. And our family, our life, our career, our generations depend on these persons who do not realize what happened, its not a small incident in a big city, but a kind of assault to our mother India.

Many times I feel they are not capable of understanding all this. What they understand is power, vote, money. And worst, we are no t left with much choice too. The big brother of this person brings the actor son and director with him. Walking over the BLOOD of Indians and planning for a new good movie. I am perturbed, I am hurt, I am scared, and I am angry.

Last evening my cousin said a very imp thing. Nehru died because of shock. Shock that despite his stature, work on international level, China duped him and because of Him the country suffered so much. He died of this shock. And see the generation now. They are no even affected.
I do not know how a human can be so insane. I am not normal from past 5 days, I keep thinking abt this, keep thinking about torture and trauma the innocents had, keep thinkin abt Mossie, who lost parents on his second birthday.
CAN'T THESE EXPERIENCED AGED POLITICIANS THINK, FEEL, REALIZE, DO SOMETHING ?

Love

Once you surrender do not look to see whether it's working or not. Expectation is a kind of ego. Love is surrender. Love teaches you only to give and give and give and do not ever expect anything in return. That is the true love.
--Bhagvad Geeta

Bhagvad Gita

A person in Krsna consciousness is always transcendental to the material modes of nature. He has no expectations for the result of the work entrusted to him because he is above false ego and pride. Still, he is always enthusiastic till the completion of such work. He does not worry about the distress undertaken; he is always enthusiastic. He does not care for success or failure; he is equal in both distress or happiness. Such a worker is situated in the mode of goodness.

Forgiveness

Bitterness is like drinking a glass of poison and waiting for your enemy to die.

Helsinki


Was there recently for some business meetings. Quite impressed by the statistics of the country. Its eighth largest country of Europe, historically was part of Sweden. May be that explains why all the street names were written in Swedish and in Finnish !

Was a surprise to see tonnes of Chinese people :). May be another factory proposal at China. I stayed much closer to Airport though and nice to have a free airport shuttle :)

Thing I disliked was Finnish food. Bad Bad Bad Bad Bad!

Hotel had the breakfast timings from 4 AM to 10 AM. Yes 4 AM :) My business counterparts there are Helsinki office told me that they are used to have lunch at 10:30-11 AM. I am used to have breakfast at this time on weekends :)

Though my schedule was very tight, we were able to roam around, in local markets and not to forget the Nokia showroom at Helsinki !
One very nice surprise was the cool local music bands performing there. Music has no language and we were glued to that place for nearly an hour ! Amazing talent. Weather was very nice, though 30 minutes of drizzling.


Finland currently numbers 5,302,778 inhabitants and has an average population density of 17 inhabitants per square kilometer. This makes it, after Norway and Iceland, the most sparsely populated country in Europe. Isn't this amazing and Nokia comes from this place.
And last the rickshaw, but in Europe ;)

Best Place to work !

This is another text from the same book. And probably the most imp one for every individual.

And the other Jim Graham story I have is there was one practice where he just rode me all practice.
You’re doing this wrong, you’re doing this wrong, go back and do it again, you owe me, you’re doing push-ups after practice. And when it was all over.
One of the other assistant coaches came over and said, yeah, Coach Graham rode you pretty hard, didn’t he? I said, yeah.
He said, that’s a good thing. He said, when you’re screwing up and nobody’s saying anything to you anymore, that means they gave up.
And that’s a lesson that stuck with me my whole life. Is that when you see yourself doing something badly and nobody’s bothering to tell you anymore, that’s a very bad place to be. Your critics are your ones telling you they still love you and care.

Fundamentals !

I was reading a book and this is something worth. We all know this and very few apply in day today work. This is applicable to profession, life, relations and in any approach !

OK, let’s talk about football.
My dream was to play in the National Football League, I did not make it to the National Football League, but I probably got more from that dream and not accomplishing it than I got from any of the ones that I did accomplish.
I had a coach, I signed up when I was nine years old. I was the smallest kid in the league, by far. And I had a coach, Jim Graham, who was six-foot-four, he had played linebacker at Penn State. He was just this hulk of a guy and he was old school. And I mean really old school. Like he thought the forward pass was a trick play. And he showed up for practice the first day, and you know, there’s big hulking guy, we were all scared to death of him. And he hadn’t brought any footballs.
How are we going to have practice without any footballs? And one of the other kids said, excuse me coach, but there’s no football.

And Coach Graham said, right, how many men are on a football field at a time? Eleven on a team, twenty-two.
Coach Graham said, all right, and how many people are touching the football at any given time? One of them.
And he said, right, so we’re going to work on what those other twenty-one guys are doing.

And that’s a really good story because it’s all about fundamentals. Fundamentals, fundamentals, fundamentals. You’ve got to get the fundamentals down because otherwise the fancy stuff isn’t going to work.

Quick Trip to Goa !


Trip To Goa !

In a quick thirst for some rest we went to goa for the weekend. Though not 100% the tourist season, the vacation was great.

Goa is India's smallest state in terms of area and the fourth smallest in terms of population. Located on the west coast of India in the region known as the Konkan, it is bounded by the state of Maharashtra to the north, and by Karnataka to the east and south, while the Arabian Sea forms its western coast.

I have been to goa in my eductaional tour also, the climate, people and joyous environment makes it a perfect place to relax. Not to forget the fabulous beaches.

We stayed at Riveirra De Goa resort. Nice built and good location.

We went to beaches near the hotel on day one, most the time went in pool and sports. 2 rounds of Go-Karting were thrilling too.

We visited Panjim next day. There was short cruise also with some cultural dances and nice sunset.

Panjim is the state's capital. Vasco da Gama (sometimes shortened to Vasco) is the largest city. The historic city of Margao still exhibits the influence of Portuguese culture. Portuguese first landed in Goa as merchants, in the early 16th century, and conquered it soon after. The Portuguese overseas territory existed for about 450 years, until it was annexed by India in 1961

We got tattooed too. Though a temporary one :)
I personally can visit goa N number of times in an year !

Taj!



We went to Agra by road. Exceptionally well maintained road in Uttar Pradesh. It was a cool thing to have awesome weather in June for this trip !! It was raining and temp was near to 22 degree celsius. We had breakfast at Dabchick resort, maintained and run by Haryana tourism.

We first visited Mathura, Krishna Janmabhoomi. Mathura is a holy city in the Indian state of Uttar Pradesh. It is located approximately 50 km north of Agra, and 150 km south of Delhi. Krishnajanmabhoomi, which means 'the birth-place of Krishna', is a temple built on the birthplace of Krishna (an avatar of God in his original form in Mathura). It is believed that Lord Krishna was born here in a cell of a prison, which once stood there. Krishna was son of Vasudeva and Devaki. Devaki was cousin(sister) of the local King Kansa. Kansa was told that the eighth son of Vasudeva and Devaki will kill him. Fearing this he imprisoned his sister and brother-in-law and eventually killed first seven children of the couple.

Krishna was the eighth child of the couple, and he was hand carried to Gokul by Vasudeva in thunder and heavy rain. The child Krishna was brought up by the local village-head of Gokul, Nanda (that is how he got his other name, Nandlaal). Eventually Krishna led a rebellion against the kingdom of Kansa and killed him. Gokul is around 14 kms north from Mathura. We could not visit that place this time. Lord Krishna was brought up in Gokul till he returned back to Mathura and killed Kansa.

The current temple complex is at the site of the prison (partly occupied by the mosque built by Aurangzeb). However, the temple complex is not entirely undisputed birth place temple complex for Krishna. There is at least one more temple close by which claims to be the real birth place of Krishna. The local populace is quite divided about the reality.

We then headed to Agra. Oh I forgot, we had kachoris and jalebi at Mathura. Agra is a city on the banks of the Yamuna River in the northern state of Uttar Pradesh, India. It finds mention in the epic Mahabharata when it was called Agrabana, or Paradise. Ptolemy, the famous 2nd century geographer, marked it on his map of the world as Agra. Tradition and legend ascribe the present city of Raja Badal Singh (around 1475) whose Fort, Badalgarh, Stood on or near the site of the present Fort. However, the 12th century Persian poet Salman writes of a desperate assault on the fortress of Agra, then held by one King Jaipal, by Sultan Mahmud of Ghazni. It was ruled by Sultan Sikandar Lodi in the year 1506. It achieved fame as the capital of the Mughal emperors from 1526 to 1658 and remains a major tourist destination because of its many splendid Mughal-era buildings, most notably the Taj Mahal, Agra Fort and Fatehpur Sikri

And guess what, we were in flood :). Due to bad drainage system of main city Agra, our car was 2 feets in water. Thanx to the SUV makers, we did not stop and cud get through the flooded road an reached our hotel. Tajmahal was 1 kms away from the same and thats one of the reason we booked that :D

After say 1 hr, we headed o Tajmahal, surprisingly it was less than 1 kms and was a cool walk. Tajmahal is a mausoleum located in Agra, India, that was built under Mughal Emperor Shah Jahan in memory of his favorite wife, Mumtaz Mahal.

The Taj Mahal (also "the Taj") is considered the finest example of Mughal architecture, a style that combines elements from Persian, Turkish, Indian, and Islamic architectural styles. While the white domed marble and tile mausoleum is most familiar, Taj Mahal is an integrated symmetric complex of structures that was completed around 1648. Ustad Ahmad Lahauri is generally considered to be the principal designer of the Taj Mahal.

We roamed around, some best shots we took from the cybershot we have and then headed back to hotel.

In evening, from rikshahwallas and local persons we gathered the place from where we can buy pethas, pachii pethas to be specefic and the leather goods, mainly shoes and sandals ! And it was Sadar Bazaar ! and then food at "Only" before heading back to hotel.

Next day, we headed for Vrindavan. Vindavan or Vraj in Mathura district, Uttar Pradesh, India is a town on the site of an ancient forest which is believed to have been the region where the famous cowherd boy, Krishna, from Hindu scriptures spent his childhood days. It is about 15km away from Mathura city (said to be Krishna's birthplace), near the Agra-Delhi highway. The town includes many hundreds of temples dedicated to the worship of Radha and Krishna and is considered sacred by a number of religious traditions such as Gaudiya Vaishnavism, Vaishnavism, and Hinduism in general.

We visited Baanke-Bihari mandir. There are more than 5000 temples in Vrindavan, but this is the oldest one and must visit. And then Vrindavan-Bihari. Not so crowded as compared to Baanke Bihari. Finally we headed back. We had lunch at Dabchick Resort, run by Haryana tourism. Somehow we are addicted to it whenever we cruise on NH2.

Optimism is the first cousin of love.


This is one of the nice lines in "Shantaram". I finished this book yesterday and i wished some more pages.
There are many twists turns and events and the best is the series of events starting from Afghanistan till Bombay, before and after khaderbhai :)
Amazing book and must read. After Kite Runner and Thousand splendid sun, I thought I may have read the best book this year, but this was amazing.

A Must Read, and I am not sure, I had a feeling of another volume with Gregory's exp in India and in Germany and finally in Australia.

If Mira Nair succeeds, it shld be a cool movie with Amitabh Bacchan (Khader Khan), Amir Khan (Abdullah) and Johny Depp (Shantaram) ! Donno who will be Karla, Ulla, Modena and Lettie and Didlier :D.

Mata Purnagiri Devi Temple, Tanakpur, Champawat


One of the 108 Siddha Peeths, this Devi Temple is 21 kms from Tanakpur, Tunyas is 17 kms and from there 3 km trek leads to Purnagiri Temple. Tanakpur is linked by direct bus service with Lucknow, Delhi, Agra, Dehradun, Kanpur and other Districts.

We went there by drive and its an okay road now, much much better than older times ! We reached in 7 hrs.

According to an ancient legend, Daksha Prajapati organised a sacrificial ceremony, for which he invited everybody except Lord Shiva. Parvati on discovering that it was her father's trick to humiliate her husband immolated herself in the sacrificial fire. While her husband carried her body, the places where the parts of her body fell were recognized as Shakti Peeth. The Shakti Peeth holds the prime position among Malikagiri, Kalikagiri, and Himlagiri Peeths.

During Navratras, in the Chaitra month of the Indian calendar, devotees in large number come here to have their wishes fulfilled. After worshipping Mata Purnagiri, people also pay their tributes to her loyal devotee Bada Sidth Nath at Brahmadev and Mahendra Nagar in Nepal.

Puskar-Ajmer Trip

This was a road trip to Pushkar through NH8. We reached Pushkar in mere 6 hrs, thanks to NHAI for building this fantastic highway. Before reaching Ajmer, one needs to go to the bypass to reach Pushkar. Road to Pushkar is small and moreover lonesome for next 25 kms. We had booked at Gulaab Niwas Palace, a newly built resort with all amenities and perfect view of Pushkar.
Pushkar is a sacred place for Hindus. The only Brahma temple in india. Pushkar means born due to a flower. In Hindu mythology it is said that the gods released a swan with a lotus in its beak and let it fall on earth where Brahma would perform a grand yagna. The place where the lotus fell was called Pushkar. It is situated 14 Km from Ajmer and is one of the five sacred pilgrimage sites for Hindus.

One of the best interesting thing happened here was banners in Hebrew :D. It was a surprise to me to see these. The story from local guide was even more interesting. In Israle its compulsary to have 2 year stint in Army, and after that many people come down to India for some spiritual peace and they visit Pushkar the most.

Ajmer is just 25 kms away from Pushkar and is separated by mountains. These mountains are rocky with no or negligible trace of plantation. Ajmer situated in the green oasis wrapped in the barren hills has been a witness to an interesting past. Ajmer is a very beautiful city, since it is surrounded by the mountain by all sides. You can run your eyes through 360 degrees and you will find the spectacular Aravali Mountains. Ajmer, also known as Ajaymeru, was the city which was ruled by Prithviraj Chauhan. My aim for Ajmer was to visit Dargah, tomb of the most revered Muslim sufi saint Moinuddin Chishti, the Gharib Nawaz.

The Dargah Shareef of Khwaza Moinuddin Chishti is situated at the foot of the Taragarh hill, and consists of several white marble buildings arranged around two courtyards, including a massive gate donated by the Nizam of Hyderabad, a mosque donated by the Mughal emperor Shah Jahan, the Akbari Masjid, and the domed tomb of the saint. To this place Emperor Akbar, with his queen, performed pilgrimage on foot from Agra every year in observance of a vow he had made when praying for a son. The large pillars, erected at intervals of two miles the whole way between Agra and Ajmer, marking the daily halting places of the royal pilgrim, are still extant.

We had nice time at Ajmer. Bought some Ajmer special sweets, clothes etc.

While returning back, we went to Khatuji Ke Shyam. We had to take a cut from Shahpura, around 150 kms away from Pushkar. The road was the opposite of NH8 and nice bumpy ride. The temple is constructed of pure white Makrana marble and is an example of unique architecture. The idol is in form of a head "SHISH" which appeared in the holy pond as Shyam Kund. The "SHISH" (head) was retrieved and was instituted in the temple.

Rameshwaram-Madurai-Kanniyakumari Trip

This was a cool trip where we planned to cover major pilgrimage places down south. First we went to Tiruvantpuram by flight. Flight had a brief halt in Bangalore. We had planned to travel to Madurai by train then on the same day. We reached Madurai by 11 PM and had quick dinner :).

The next our first venue was Rameshwaram. I somewhat wnted to visit this place due to its so much importance in Ramayana and also the place where our former president and bharat ratna Dr. APJ Abdul Kalaam was born. We did see the college from where he graduated ! Rameshwaram is connected by the mainland by a single long bridge. The sole earning rameshwaram has is through tourists. Rameswaram is a town in Ramanathapuram district in the Indian state of Tamil Nadu. It is located on an island separated from mainland India by the Pamban channel and is less than 40 kilometers from the Jaffna Peninsula, Sri Lanka. Together with Kashi, it is considered by Hindus to be one of the holiest places in India to Hindus.

Rameshwaram is significant for the Hindus as a pilgrimage to Benaras is incomplete without a Pilgrimage to Rameshwaram. The presiding deity here is in the form of a Linga with the name Sri Ramanatha Swamy, it also happens to be one of the twelve Jyotirlingas. The masterpiece of Dravidian architecture boasts of the largest temple corridor in India. Different rulers built the Ramanatha Swamy Temple over a period of time starting from the 12th century. The temple comprises forty wells where the taste of the water of each well is different from the other.

According to the Puranas, upon the advice of Rishis (sages), Rama along with Sita and Lakshmana, installed and worshipped the Sivalinga here to expiate the sin of Brahmahatya (killing of a Brahmin) (Ravana was a Brahmin the great grandson of Brahma). Rama fixed an auspicious time for the installation and sent Hanuman to Mount Kailas to bring a lingam. As Hanuman could not return in time, Sita herself made a linga of sand. When Hanuman returned with a linga from Mount Kailas the rituals had been over. To comfort the disappointed Anjaneya, Rama had Hanuman’s lingam (Visvalingam) also installed by the side of Ramalinga, and ordained that rituals be performed first to the Visvalingam.

The interesting part here was to have brief bath from water of 22 wells one by one. Its unique and somewhat crazy too :D.

We went to see Madurai in the same evening. Went to Meenakshi Temple first. The Meenakshi Sundareswarar Temple or Meenakshi Amman Temple is a historic Hindu temple located in the holy city of Madurai - home of the Tamil language, Tamil Nadu. It is dedicated to Lord Shiva (in the form of Sundareswarar or Beautiful Lord) and his consort, Goddess Parvati (in the form of Meenakshi or Fish-eyed Goddess). The temple forms the heart and lifeline Madurai. The temple has a stunning architecture and it was a frontrunner in the election for the modern seven wonders of the world for its architectural importance. The complex houses 12 magnificent gopurams or towers that are elaborately sculptured and painted. The temple is a significant symbol for the Tamil people, and has been mentioned since antiquity in Tamil literature, though the present structure is believed to have been built only recently in the early 17th century. After meenakshi temple we went for local shopping, bought saaris and and lady suits from Nallis and I ate a local dry dish made from Bamboo !

We went to Trivandrum back by train very early morning. The best part on Train was the local Idlis :D Wrapped inside banana tree leaves. Those are my favorite. We went to our final destination Poovar Island resort. One of the best resorts have been in :). Its on an island and one has to take steamer to go there. No road links !! Completely located in backwaters. We had complete leisure there, nice food, ayurvedic massage and cool view.

Next day we were on to Kanniyakumari. Kanyakumari District (also spelt 'Kanniyakumari' or 'Kanniakumari District) is a district of Tamil Nadu state, India and also the southernmost land area and district of mainland India. Kanyakumari takes its name from the Kumari Amman or the Kanyakumari Temple, situated at the shore on the confluence of the Bay of Bengal, Indian Ocean and the Arabian Sea. According to the local lore, Kanya Devi, an avatar of Parvati, was to marry Shiva, but he failed to show up to the wedding. The rice and other grains meant for the wedding feast remained uncooked. Today tourists can buy tiny stones which look like rice, in remembrance of the marriage that was never solemnized. The princess Kanya Devi is a goddess who blesses pilgrims and tourists.

We visited the Kanniyakumari temple first and then the Vivekananda Rock. Its awesome. Vivekananda Rock Memorial is a sacred monument and popular tourist attraction in Kanyakumari, India. The memorial stands on one of two rocks located about 500 meters off mainland India's southernmost tip. It was built in 1970 by the Vivekananda Rock Memorial Committee in honour of the visit of the great spiritual teacher Swami Vivekananda to Shripada Parai during the month of December 1892 for deep meditation and enlightenment. He swam to this rock and meditated about the past, present and future of India. It is said that he attained enlightenment on the rock, and henceforth became a reformer and philosopher.

After that we had the favorite time for my mom and wife. Shopping !! Bought many things made from shells and dry fruits :)

We went to Kovalam beach the same day. One of the best beaches in India. Kovalam has three crescent shaped beaches separated by rocky outcroppings. Shallow waters stretching for hundreds of metres are ideal for swimming. The beaches have steep palm covered headlands and are lined with shops that offer all kinds of goods and services. Kovalam was brought to the public eye by the Maharaja of Travancore. The European guests of the then Travancore kingdom discovered the potentiality of Kovalam beach as a tourist destination in the 1930s. However, Kovalam shot into limelight in the early seventies with arrivals of the masses of hippies. That started the transformation of a casual fishing village of Kerala into one of the most important tourist destinations in the world- the Kovalam beach.

We had nice lifetime horrifying and interesting experience the next early morning :D Well kept secret though.

Chandigarh, Amritsar and Wagah Border

Chandigarh is 270 KMs away from Delhi. NH1 is nice, some issues at Panipat crossing where flyover is in construction. NH22 is somewhat bad and single highway. We were there last weekend (7-9 july), a memorable trip :).

This is sukhna lake, not like natural lake since its man made but was a nice surprise.



One of the surprising facts was Rock Garden, was made in 1988, a true surprise. Must visit site and may be we will visit once more in winters. Its has cool falls, treaas, walls and all made up of wastes like tiles, cups etc. This was much beyond what i had expected. Must visit when once is in Chandigarh.

What extraordinary abt chandigarh is the way it has been developed. Very rare cities in india can compete with the infrastructure Delhi and Noida has. Its one of them. Very organized and nice people
The next target was Amritsar, around 260 KMs
away from chandigarh through NH1 highway which we joined from ambala. The places to visit there are Swarn Mandir, Durgyani Mandir, Jalian Wala Bagh and Wagah Border.

I am eager to explain more abt Swarn Mandir, though we visited the same on next day. Its amazing, astonishing and marvelous. The way sikhs dedicate themselves to sewa is surprising. There we no parking issues, no big queues and we were able to visit the main temple with very ease, stayed there as long as we wanted. Its a must visit mandir. Hats off !

We all at there :)

The first place we went from Amritsar was Wagah Broder, around 40 kms away from the main city. Was a single highway to the India borser with pakistan. I was damn excited to see the place. Was first time we cud see Pakistan soldiers with Indian Army. BSF (Border Security Force) maintains that place. The gathering was much above my expectation. It was infact huge. Too many cabs and cars. And before the main gate, it was like some fest :).
It was nice to watch the BSF jawans saluting, marching and carrying the Indian flag. Its a one time opportunity to watch Pakistani citizens and the army with Indian citizens and Army. Must see place :).

We went to Jalian Wala Bagh where 2000+ Indian were killed by British Army. Somewhat not enjoyable but place to remember the sacrifices done for our freedom. This place was bought by Indian National congress and dedicated to the country. This was the last place to finish our trip !
