Issues with this life, people and the Country called India

Will you agree that India is the forerunner for everything in the world ?
Technology ? Yes.
Science ? Yes.
Math ? Yes.
Literature ? Yes.
Racism ??????

A big YES. We are preaching racism in each and every thing we do, in India. Our oldest religion Hinduism is modified to preach racism in the godly institutions. Our holy books are filled with racism. Our holy chantings are filled with racist ideas. We are the biggest racist country.

How come this is possible ? We are all Asian race, right ?
The world categorize us into Asian race. Are we really ok with that category ? NO. We are North Indians and South Indians. Infact, nowadays, we are North Indians, South Indians and Tamils.

How we got this categories into our minds ? How we got the initial idea of these races ? Aryan and Dravidian ? You could say the, im talking too much about Tamil and stuff. But the truth is, Tamils are under-treated in their own land. How this all started ?

It started way before ages. The Indian literature separate timeline as Yuga. We had so many kings in so many Yugas. How come all Gods are from the northern part of the Nation ? How come eventually they were kings once ? The people and politicians lived there were very clever to portray their kings as gods and established those facts in very strong form of literature, which eventually got translated into the country’s most powerful Holy books. For example, Bahavad Gita, Ramayana, Mahabharata, the list keeps on going…The people and politicians down south never thought about these plans and fell prey to them. So we still have great kings form South and good gods from North.

Ramayana – A compilation of the Author’s racist nature
Ramayana is the most racist book in the history of Indian literature. Rama was a great ruler, I would agree to that, but a god ? chances are very light. Rama – a beautiful guy, most charismatic king loses his wife to a demon from South… Really? Rama leaves his country and moves towards south. He sees monkeys living in south and monkey ruling those lands… Seriously ? Kishkinta mentioned in Ramayana tracks down to the present day Karnataka. People in Karnataka are monkeys ? Seriously how racist the author could get ? Then comes the worse. The Tamil speaking people down the south in SriLanka, which was an integral part of India then, were Demons. They were resisting Rama, the god. All people there are demons, evil spirits, the king is a demon, bla bla… Still you believe Rama is Lord ? ho ha ho… Its ur opinion.

Rama sent his wife to forest, because someone doubted her character (not even rama himself). Is this how you treat the sacred feminine ? This is clearly devised to propagate the dominance of males in the society over the Females. People believe it is a lesson to the world, how to life. Its clearly a gender discrimination message sent to the world. You still believe rama is a god ? Its your opinion…

We will discuss about this further in future posts.

24 years and a week…

Yeah its been 24 years… Waav… I luv it so much, my life. I still remember when i would bed wet and try to convince ma mom, that its ma sister and how foolish i would have been to do that with the clear left overs in ma night pants. (it was during ma childhood, so im damn sure its just bed wet).
Now, i have the desire to explore, passion to write, patriotism towards world, luv for cute gals, longing for a better career, lots and lots and lots…

Certainly i have grown up :P Ma mom would not agree to it though, not because im her son, but she definitely had some doubts on my mental soundness when i proposed an idea of recreating the day during night by fixing a mirror behind the earth :P

I have come across lot of things, but when i think about it, i realize, nothing i have done all these years :) Still in the remembrance of these dead 24 years, i would like to pen down something…

Top 10s of my 24 years :P

1.
One luv: She was awesome, she was wonderful (to me). she was natural, she was honest, above all, she was beautiful :P . Anyway, She is no more single… she is happily married and i think she is with kids :P

2.
Two deaths: disturbed me a lot.
My very own grand mom. She is like a prime enemy to ma mom, but still she has always been sweet, sweeter, sweetest to me. For her im the whole world. She lived that long till her 80s just for me !!!(I still believe that :P )

My cousin brother. He was like my own brother, since he stayed with us most of the time. He might not be an entrepreneur, but he would have become one. I waited in mortuary to receive his body for an hour and it was one of the horrible moments of ma life. Death teaches man a lot.

3.
three misses:
* One of my close friends tried to ask me out, but i was so dumb, i didnt get it. Things would have been different now. We laugh at it even now when we talk (but definitely i missed !!!)
* I felt very bad when i got transferred to Chennai from Bangalore. I missed all my friends there and definitely we fell apart after that transfer. I should not have gone back to chennai…
* Terrible third miss – everything would have changed in ma life, everything would have been so different. I was so interested in catering, and got pushed into engineering by my mom and dad. I miss ma completely sponsored studies including 3rd year in Swizz !!!

4.
four weddings:
* Two are my cousins weddings, from which i realized, weddings are the only occasions where we could enjoy with our relatives, who otherwise might be torturous.
* Two are my friends weddings, jeyanthi akka’s wedding, pavithra’s wedding… They were awesome… also wanted to include thaneer’s akka wedding, but four weddings is kinda attractive :P

5.
Five friends of life:
* Kumar, sudar,sano,kudi and parul didi….
* I never thought, i would be so much valued by others or i would value someone above myself, these are the guys… My friends of life…
* We might not talk to each other in future, as often as we do now. We might lose others phone numbers, we might have forgotten their spouses names, but still… we are the best. These are my best buddies…

I wrote 10 points initially, but the rest 5 points were like,
six other sickos – ma awesome friends from college
seven sins, ma personal, terrible mistakes
eight cries – moments when i cried out loud…
nine nightmares – when i was like awww
ten things i would like to do :)

At this moment, i just wana thank ma mom for introducing me to this awesome world, with awesome bunch of people :) I luv u mom (also u dad :P ) and i luv u all :)

Me, Myself and Ma gal (celebrity gal)

Its always been a wonderful part, being in relation with a celebrity. Its also wonderful, thinking in being in relation with a celebrity :) Thats what happen in my life often… Here it goes…

When I watched for the first time, “Fifty First Dates”. I fell for her (Drew!!!). First time is always the best. She was awesome, ofcourse, she is awesome and she will be awesome. Her smile, her chubby structure (Indians fall for this / especially Madras), attracted me like anything. I watched almost all her movies, and rediscovered my crush for her in every other movie. When i saw her in Duplex, singing her souls in Music and Lyrics, i thought i would be with her in dreams happily “Ever After”. Until i got a mail with an attachment containing a zip file.

drew n me

I unzipped, just the file and i found a beautiful smiling gal. My heart said, “She is the one”. After sometime, i came to know her name is Swathi and she is the one who acted in movie “Subramaniyapuram”. I fell for her vampire tooth (our common feature) and gracious beauty. After completing my college i was simply sitting in home, jobless for few months. Daily routine would be after getting up, i sit in front of ma system and run the slide show of Swathis pictures. such an impact she had on me. My mom used to scold me like anything for simply seeing those slides with ma bournvita getting cold. Even now i do the slide show stuff once in a while.

I had a little crush for Shakira, when i saw “My hips dont lie” for the first time with ma friends. Even now in ‘Waka Waka’ she is matured, gorgeous and glowing more :) Whateee woman boss !!!

Before Olympics, i never followed Badminton much. People were talking about some new hopeful gal for India at Olympics at china. After seeing her at action, i was like waaaav….. she is ma celebrity. she is ma gal. She is ma love!!!! Saina…. She is cute, simple and inspiring. Here again in CWG, Delhi, Saina rocked !!!

The list goes on , on and on… like rediscovered ma crush for Ash in Robot, fell for jenelia’s smile in her new promo photos… Whatever it is, on the end of the day, my gal would be ma celebrity !!!

How we fixate on tragedy in a happy day !!!

Its our nature not to notice really awesome, beautiful things passing us and thinking abt some stupid thing that happened hours back, even in some cases, it would be days back. This is just a post to point that particular point and some usual bla…bla…

So, look how i am ignoring things that are happening to me in one day :)

Here it started… Some gal called Sushma Banerjee, (distant relative of Mamtha Banerjee), at UIC , MIS was born some 2X years ago in WB, IND. Guys were trying to impress her inspite of the fact that she is married and decided to throw a surprise party for her birthday. In order to cultivate good ties between the departments of Computer Science and MIS, i decided to attend the party. Guys promised me to give intro of some awesome gals in the party. And it has nothing to do with me going to party. As i said before, i went only for Ties b/w the departments. Banerjee lives in some awesome house, Duplex guys :P Appreciated her house keeping efforts and ice creams and I waited for the remaining gals to arrive. Then came the shock, No Gals coming to the party.. WTF…. I was …. cha… There started my bad day at banerjee’s bday…. :)

Ma roomie’s / friend’s bday on next day, i mean same night. His friend /GF brought a cake, that saved us around $12 :P People gathered and it was nice party. chocolate cake, coke, birthday bums, waaav… remembered those awesome days.. But suddenly realized, i was deeply disappointed by the gals…. Oopsi, not even a single gal turned up for the party, ofcourse sankari was there, but i have met her already… I expected some new …oh no…

Then called akka and had a nice chat. She is doing well and i felt so so happy about it. Soon ma niece is gona rock the world… Suddenly i noticed some assignments were there on the algorithms website and i was blank :) Banerjee!!!you you you…. I tried to do the assignment, but u know, nothing good happens after 2 AM… (source : How i met your mother) So i hit the sack…

Morning i had a sweet sweet dream (secret) and woke up with full of energy and happiness. Oops again this assignment thought… crap man. I went to do it, but its time to class and missed bus and reached class… aaaahhhh. Everyone except me did the assignment. I was not enjoying the class at all. My SP (Algos professor) is talking (taking class) and im not seeing at her with a sense of content and bliss, which i would do usually…

Later i spoke with her, bla bla, left at work place, bla bla… she was looking at me
SP : what ? I was just looking at you, i was not listening to you…
Me : It happens to me often :)
SP : What ?
Me : bla – bla – left papers at office, bla bla….

Finally i told her i see her :P I was so happy that she excused me, but filled with worries abt office, have to fix Alicia’s system, set up bills printer, update the website, work on migration to .NET, design a DB using MySql, bla bla bla…

In the mean time i got a call from sriram about his GA. He got a job man. I was like so so so happy at the very moment. But again i started to think about the ppl who stabbed us. am i mad ???
come on sriram got a job and he is relaxed now. so am i :)

When i looked into my screen, i fixed a bug in software, all systems are connecting to the server now (that were not connected for past 2 years), all printers are working, my DB design is ready.

alicia : Jefrri, im connecting to server, all bugs are fixed, thanks to raja…. hurrayyy
Jeffri : Raja. yaeeee. you make people happy :)
me : Thanks :)

Oops, i have to catch the bus, do the laundry. prepare food for night, do the assignment, write the blog….

shebba…. we never enjoy the day :)

Infact i enjoyed it like anything. I was just imagining me being so mean and stupid :P
Its a wonderful day

Its a wonderful life !!!

ps : names changed from originals… i use o follow this naing convention. But i was not using it for this post. Later upon the advice of ma friend, i changed them…

My First Times….

Everything in life is our first time at some point of time. For example, our first class in school, first outing with friends, first kiss, first …. we encounter the first time at some time. I encountered lots of first times in a very short span, say within a week. These are my first times in a week…

1. First time in the last 4 years, i didnt check ma mail for 3 whole days…

2. First time , i saw two gals hitch hiking a lorry in some glittering dress and heavy make -up. If you want some direct words, i can use , road side hookers :)

3. First time, i felt as a complete man, when a gal told, she will suggest ma name to her parents when they are looking forward for her marriage.

4. First time i felt deeply incapable, when ma cousin sister asked for some food to suppress her hunger in a bus journey and i had nothing to offer…

5. First time i felt so much vacuum in terms of emotion, when i failed to feel even a single thing, for ma cousin brother’s death.

**update**: finally i missed ma cousin, when i was traveling with my other cousin. we were 4, now, just 3…oopsi…

6. First time i waited in a mortuary entrance with some enchanting smell of yesterday’s humans for more than 30 minutes, to receive a corpse.

7. First time, i was completely awake and didnt talk, sing or text for two full hours. I was filled with silent for such a long duration in the so far life time…

8. First time, i felt, ma mom is very stupid and mean and so many more things, for cursing God for her nephews death… ( Never blame a non-existing entity for anything)

9. First time, after so many years, I felt, ma dad is some what good :P

10. First time, i felt like, im not writing some stupid post, but also felt others might not feel the same way :)

ps : First time, you can comment on ma blog and it might be some precious thing in your life when you look back after some 10-20 years, that you commented on such a great person’s blog (T&C).

T&C – i should live that long, so as you. the mentioned thing is subjected to market risk, i may not become so popular too…

I cant go to Naidu Shop, thats why, i hate the R word…

Once lived a happy person, thats me, who now is no more the same. I lost so many happiness in my life (still i am happy enough). But what are all the happy things lost in the recent past ? Yes, i am going to discuss about those stuff here in this post.

I am no exception from the ‘R’ word attack. Yes, its Recession. I never imagined of such a situation in my life, especially after i started catching my own fish. After completion of college, a vision to learn something and kick off my own start-up, occupied me. I was sincere to the vision and suddenly realized that i got placed in one of the worlds leading company. After that my vision blurred and when i tried to look into it properly, i was already hit by Recession :(

This Recession has a great influence in my personal life and work life. How ?

1. Previously, i used auto as my frequent mode of transportation. now, Bus, cycle, (walk – within 3 sq.km)

2. My earnings reduced to half :(

3. I appreciate my mom for cooking. It happens often

4. Its been 7 months since i purchased a shirt for me. (Last seen in a clothing shop : Oct,2008)

5. I used to recharge my mobile twice a month which is now recharged once in two months.

6. I use my credit card, atleast once a week, recently i surrendered my card.

7. I use to pay in all treats and get together, now im not even ready to TTMM (thu thu mein mein)parties :)

8. Above all, i didnt go for Naidu shop (road side shop) for more than 6 months, and i miss the hot spicy food very much :(

This is how Recession hit Raja


ps. Recently, i have launched RAJA RELIEF FUND. Willing people can contribute through post or bank account. Paypal is also accepted :)

People @ Bangalore and in my thoughts :)

This post is about me and my friends. So proceeding further is at your own risk :)

In our lives, we have to face different kinds of people and situation. I am no exception. I have studied with people who were always ready to turn me down in all possible ways. I might have done such things to them though :) Anyway, raja is good. After the grad school, i studied with people who can do many things for me. They know abt me, i know abt them very well. After the college life, i never thought of making friends. In fact, i would be very selective when it comes to friends. Because i would do anything for my friends and my friends know that i guess :)

I was wrong. I met great people here @ Bangalore and eventually my friends list got enhanced. Each one, i met here were different, but all were good. See how optimistic i am :) I would love to write about them. Even though they are all waste fellows, they are very much worthy for me :)

Satthu – The worst guy. I gave my contact details to him, after we got selected into the same company. He use to ping me in g-talk and disturb me to the maximum extent he can. I thought of punching him right on his nose, when i see him in the company. But you know, professionalism prevented me from doing it. He is a clean tube light, but its sort of interesting. He has grown physically, but he is a child at heart. Sorry, he has grown physically, but not mentally (This is what i want to say).

Dinesh – Dhadiyan. He is another interesting character. He talks too much, so what, he resembles me a lot in that. But he is too good like a call girl, oops, call center girl over phone. His sentimental dialogues, makes me laugh rather than to feel. A cool guy with some humor sense. He is a good person to spend time with. One more thing about him, he resembles SHAKILA in black color :)

Nijaz – Kunjumoan, keralite. No more reasons needed for me to be his friend, right. But there are many more reasons. He is a good supportive kind of guy. Inspite of his Blood Pressure, he behaves cool at times. He gets annoyed even by some silly things (Like this post). Some times, acts pricey. But he is the best.

Perusu s.k.a. Karthi – He is sometimes known as karthik. He is a great guy. Very dedicated, whether it is academics, training or project, he is very dedicated. You can also add girls in that list, he is dedicated to them too. He is also very supportive when you need it. He gives many advices, sometimes really useful.( Its all because of the wisdom due to age). Ya, i forgot to tell one thing, he is multilingual specialist. which is his main plus for communicating with girls of almost all regions :)

Kumar & Jagadesh – I dont know, why i am writing about these two people together. Do you know ? They are such a good pair of friends. They use to be together in training times. (I hope not now, for gods sake). Jagadesh, a hyper cool guy with a beautiful cigarette case. Come on i was kidding, he also has a beautiful lighter. Cool, lets get out of personal habits here. He n kumar both are technical geeks, that is really not relative to their college. They are doing injustice for their institutions by involving in such technical activities. Both are good people which i realized after very long time (one month).

Thirugnana Sampath – Dont think anything considering his name. Its completely irrelevant. A real man, who worked in farm fields, reared cows, wrote perl scripts, now working on Unix. He is a great inspiration to me. I started earning when i was 14. I know how much pain i did bare. He did so many things more than that i guess. He is really cool and with whom i share many things. A great guy to spend time with.
To me sampath is the coolest person, i met in Bangalore.

WATER –> Thanneer, the all time favorite of me @ blore. He resembles my college friend, Dhaadi. He is also know as 24/7 comedy king. Thanner is similar to him. He does a thing without knowing that it would be a great comedy. He is really cool. He takes everything easily. Unlike Dhaadi, he thinks well too. A bit irregular when it comes to food and sleep, otherwise, a nice person. I enjoyed my stay @ bangalore mostly because of him. (I am proud to say that, he was my room mate for 3 months).

ps : I thought of damaging these guys, but i have written only good things i guess :)
