PK Movie and wake up call for a change

The PK movie make me think deeply regarding our religious belief  and customs we are following and meaning and purpose behind each. Im really surprised and wonder about out rich values and structured way of living we practiced over 100 centuries. But now how foolishly we are refusing them and just as a trend advocate all those and laugh on it to prove we are more educated and believe only in scientific proofs.

We accept and praises Galileo for his scientific revolution during the period where people believed 'Earth was the center of Universe'. Im telling it happened during the mid of 15th century. But we Indians following the Navagraha pooja and built the temple even before 10th century and following it.

See the wonder our people created, during those old days no telescope or nothing... but they found it and structured it, even placed Sun as a center piece. There are various positions of other 8 grahas placed in diff temples, each call as a kattu, surya kattu, agastiyar kattu, etc....In each kattu, the formation will be diff but the position of the Sun never change. Need research on this kattus, why they placed it and the reason behind it.

Also the main wonder is the colors designated to each grahas... For Mars, the dress color is Red... And we know Mars is a red planet.

Instead of just making fun on the religious believes, people like Rajkumar Irani, making fun and money by simple questions on Indian's cultural and religious beliefs. Instead make one good movie to appreciate our rich values.

In other countries, even in US recognized universities having degree courses in Greek Mythology to study about the Greek gods and the values behind the customs they followed and following. The whole Vatican city studying about the Biblical values. And Israelite having deep belief in their Jewish Mythology. But why most of Indian are always criticizing our own countries mythology and thinking the disbelief and criticizing as a style statement.

When we are gonna to change????

RUPEE - New Symbol

The Ministry of India had organised a symbol design competition with a prize money of Rs 2.5 lakh with the condition that it should be applicable to the standard keyboard, be in the national language script or a visual representation and should represent the historical and cultural ethos of the country.


IIT post-graduate D.Udaya Kumar’s design has been chosen from among five shortlisted symbols and recommended it for Cabinet approval. The jury has given its verdict that the rupee will retain its Indian character with an international flavour. The basic aim of the new symbol is to provide Indian Rupee an international recognition to isolate the currency from the current abbreviation "Rs", which also used by neighboring countries like Pakistan, Nepal and Sri Lanka.

Kumar’s symbol is an amalgam of the Devanagari ‘Ra’ and the Roman capital ‘R’ without the stem, very much in line with what Finance Minister Pranab Mukherjee had envisioned. “We intend to formalise a symbol for the Indian rupee which reflects and captures Indian ethos and culture,” Mukherjee said in his Budget speech this year.

Kumar's concept is based on the Tricolor and arithmetic equivalence and now he is going to join IIT Guwahati as a faculty member in the Department of Design.

TIME - a dressmaker specializing in alterations

Coming back to blogging after a long time. Never say I was busy but never allotted much time to write. Last long weekend went for a long trip and one stop over was Pittsburg. Obviously to SV Temple. Here Im not going to write about the temple. I came across a situation, when sometimes I feel like a jerk. And this was one kind of that. Before entering temple I took my MIL for refreshment. But what we did was left our shoes out in the shoe stand and entered in. I was in total discomfort because of that. As one among many who concentrated much in hygiene stuffs.

Today when I was reading an article I read a saying by James Michener "If you reject the food, ignore the customs, fear the religion and avoid the people, you might better stay home". And I recalled an incident which make me realize how far I have changed these days... I was wondering whether time would change the thinking too???


During my under graduation went to Malmaruvathur temple by following all the temple customs and one among that was not wearing slippers for 10 days. With bare foot only roamed all around and never felt bad that time. When the day started from Madurai, Tamilnadu to Malmaruvathur and visa versa had lot of extrems and never hesitated a bit. Need to use public restrooms, walk on roads, market places. "Hygiene" would that word sparked in my mind that time - NEVER.

Time is a brisk wind, for each hour it brings something new... but who can understand and measure its sharp breath, its mystery and its design? Just travel in it.
