M. S. Subbalakshmi - 2

It is very sad that greats like M. S. Subbalakshmi did not live in this modern world with so much of technology, so that we could have recorded her every breath.

Dear Ms. Mahalakshmi,

I do not have Venkatachala Nilayam in her individual songs files from which I uploaded these songs. I have lot of concerts of M.S.S to be uploaded. Perhaps this may be available there. Please be on the look out for her concerts. If you have no objection to furnish your mail id personally to my mail, I will save it and I can intimate you personally when I upload it.

Where is our Country Heading to?

I thought, I should post this article in my blog so the present and future generation should know what is happening in our country with petty politicians. If you are an INDIAN please send this blog at least to one person, in service of the country.

Punishable picaroon!

Written by
Cho Ramaswamy

[This article was written before Wednesday's

arrest-release drama of Raj Thackeray lasting a little over

90 minutes in Mumbai, which had triggered statewide panic.]

What happened in Mumbai, for want of a better word,

is barbarism.

The rabble-rouser behind it all is [Raj Thackeray] the leader of a party

called Maharashtra Navnirman Sena [which translates into English as

'the army for Maharashtra's resurgence'] and an estranged nephew

of Shiv Sena boss Bal Thackeray.

Having made little headway since he distanced himself from his uncle,

Raj embarked upon this perfidy of public-disservice hoping that it will

fetch him political mileage.

The 'protest' against north Indians' growing influx into Mumbai has

resulted in several instances of mayhem.

Cabs were reduced to cinders, cinemas became combat-zones

and innocents reduced to instances of irate mobs' timid, terrified targets.

In a nutshell – it was the worst kind of violent anarchy.

The elder Thackeray had whipped up passions against south Indians,

Muslims and non-Hindus on earlier occasions.

He, however, eschewed those pursuits due to a realisation that such

acts would fetch him neither votes nor popularity.

I have no way of knowing as to how long this apparition of a political

evolution will last, but that is another thing altogether.

One does not have to be a Sherlock Holmes to deduce that the young

whippersnapper has aped the actions of the party to which he once

belonged hoping to cash in on base regional sentiments by fanning

flames of hatred.

Raj's diatribes against prominent personalities starting with movie

icon Amitabh Bachchan and ending with {Union Railway Minister]

Laloo Prasad Yadav are reprehensible, to say the least.

The Indian Constitution assures every citizen of this country an

inalienable right to relocate to any part of this nation, pursue any

vocation of his/her choice and earn a living peacefully.

Those like Raj Thackeray who make a mockery of this guarantee are acting against our very sovereignty and national integrity.

If north Indians cannot live in Mumbai, can Maharashtrians be denied the rights to live elsewhere in India? Will Raj undertake to nonsensically call for a recall of all such people?

It is common knowledge that many regional parties have indulged in some variations of this madness. Electoral niceties have ensured that some of them saw reason. Quite a few of them are turning over a new leaf for the better.

That said, it should also be stated simultaneously that many of these outfits continue to depend on evil, fissiparous shortcuts for political sustenance. We have witnessed this in Tamil Nadu in the past and the present.

Enough laws have been enacted to nip such tendencies in the bud.

Yet, central and several state governments hesitate to take stringent action against these vermin fearing loss of vote-banks and thereby become accessories to such atrocious audacities.

For the time being, no political party has condoned the cruel acts of Raj Thackeray.

Even the Shiv Sena has condemned Raj's antics.

The time is, therefore, ripe for mercilessly stamping out this stampede of scum using every subsection of the statute. It would send a strong message that these kinds of misadventures of other far-flung fascists will be dealt with an iron fist minus a velvet glove.

Hence, it would serve as a timely, useful deterrent.

Regional chauvinism is like a burning torch that can be flung at a tightly-knitted cluster of thatched huts called the Union of India by the hands of antinational, antisocial elements. The hands ought to be manacled without tarry and the flame doused ere it unsettles the entire settlement.

Anonymous said...: 1) India was brought together. It did not come together as a nation. 2) Democracy is a western ideology. 3) You cannot put democracy on a plate and expect people to live happily. 4) The urge to improve (the society) has to come from within. 5) Reservation will be the end of India. Less educated have to be given equal opportunities to learn not to the jobs. Less educated will never learn the need for a strong, peaceful and stable society, protecting public property etc etc 6) You cannot take from some and give it to some others and expect the society to move forward as a single unit. Abe' Lincoln gave the african americans equal rights and opportunities as the white americans. But, he left it to the african americans to fight from where they are to where they want to be on their own merit. Abe' never took anything from the White man and gave it to the others.

Children - A Gift from Goad

Read this again and again to understand you and your children.

Children are living Jewels dropped from heaven.
Having children makes one, no more a parent, than having piano makes you a pianist.
The real menace about dealing with a child is, that in no time you begin to sound like one.
When children are doing nothing, they are doing mischief.
Every one is in awe of the lion tamer in a cage with half a dozen lions - everyone, but a school bus driver.
The children really brighten up a household. They never turn the lights off.
For a child to get very clean, something else has to get very dirty. That's why they need to invent use and throw bath towels.
There is only one pretty child in the world and every mother has it.
Children are a great comfort in your old age, and they help you to reach it faster,too.
Children's parties remind you that there are children more awful than your own.
We find delight in the beauty and happiness of children that makes the heart too big for the body.
Insanity is hereditary; you can get it from your children.
Children seldom misquote you. In fact. they usaually repeat word for word what you should not have said.
Mothers of teens know why animals eat their young.
Your parent never appreciated art on walls when you were a child, suddenly they seem to appreciate the art on walls by your kids.
People who say they sleep like babies, usually don't have them.
Train the parent and spare the child.
There are only two things a child will share willingly; communicable diseases and its mother's age.
You know your children are grown up when they stop asking you, where they came from and refuse to tell you where they are going.
Cleaning your house while your kids are still growing is like clearing the driveway before it has stopped snowing.
The trouble with children is that they are not returnable.
Don't limit a child to your own learning, for he was born in another time.
Grandchildren are God's reward for not killing your children.
You can learn many things from children. How much patience you have, for instance.
Any one who says " Easy as taking candy from a baby" has never tried it.
Grown-ups never understand anything for themselves and it is tiresome for children to be always and forever explaining things to them.
Never underestimate a child's ability to get into more trouble.
I asked Mom if I was a gifted child. She said that they certainly would not have paid for me.
Parents are not interested in justice, they are interested in peace and quiet.
Parent are the bones on which children cut their teeth.
The first half of our life is ruined by our parents and the second half by our children.
Be nice to your kids. They will choose your nursing home.
Even when freshly washed and relieved of all obvious confections, children tend to be sticky.
Outings are so much more fun when we can savour them through the children's eyes.
Children need love, especially when they do not deserve it.
You spend the first two years of their lives telling them how to walk and talk, then you spend the next 16 telling them to sit down and shut-up.
Don't force your child to tell the truth all the time. Especially if you have been lying about your weight. ( taken from A product from ITC Ltd, Paperkraft, Expressions -02000364)

So, now I am arranging to post the songs through mediafire under the label "Carnatic music raagaas". Please be on the look out of M.S. Subbulakshmi and others songs under the raaga category and download them. I also happened to go through your blog and found intersting articles and photos. I will go through them one by one. I could not found your e mail id to write to you personally. Meanwhile all the best
