Is India shining?

Every year lac of women will come to cities in search of jobs, to make their career and for their livelihood. Less than 1% exploit others. 30% people live happily facing very small problems, but 59% will be exploited by the people. Our democratic leaders say we have given enough power to women. But they forgot to give the security each women wanted to have, to live freely in the society. No reservation, no policies will change this unless they will punish those Hippocrates.

I am saying those harsh words because these women not only has to suffer the fear of terrorist,rapists,thieves, they also has to fear of these bureaucrats,police men and their bosses. Ex-Commissioner Rathore in case of Ruchika, An IAS officer and unnamed politician in case of Shivani Batnagar, ND Tiwari,or mystery man behind Arushi murder case.A foreigner murder story in Goa has made India unfavourable for tourism. After all these incident our politicians are saying India shining. If these incidents will make India shine, it is better to have non shining India.

One lady came to one small city from a village. She joined a small company. That company was undergoing huge loss. One by one all employees left company. This girl also decided to leave company. But her boss was not ready to relieve her. He thought about a master plan and proposed her. I don't know how an intelligent girl like her fell in a deep cave. After some days he gave her marriage invitation card to her and told her to forget him. She was courageous and tried to forget all those incidents. She left the company and joined another company.

Problems never left her and here also similar inciedents followed her. A colleague of her started following her. Already came out from one shock, she was not in a position to face another. She told to another colleague of her say 'Y' and he solved that issue. She was sharing all her problems with this 'Y'. He stood as a great friend to her but in the mean time he left the company. That lady was always close with people even though lots of pain inside.But her brother saw her talking with a neighbour uncle and reported this to her mother. This was sufficient to create a negative waves in her home. Her parents wanted her to come back. But her dream was to stand independently without any one's support.Her dream was suppressing, but God didn't listen to her kind request. With lot of pressure from family she left that city and came back to village. But God's faith was different. Ambitious girl killed herself by committing suicide and didn't opened her eyes then after.


It is a true incident which one of my friend(say Y) told to me. Really a great message for all those parents who will press for their own interest without knowing what their children want. It is message for all girls to keep away from frauds. She has tolerated many obstacles before ending her life. We may think one should not commit suicide for those silly reason. But it may be silly for us, not for those who have poured water and whole life to their ambitious tree. I don't know when harassing women will stop, but India will shine when people of this nation get enough security, enough freedom to live.

I can't imagine Kannada film industry without you.

We know South Indians are very crazy about the movie stars. They are like God and the temple built on honour of them. In this era of cunning and political film industry one man stood above all and it is great honour to write about such a person who entertained us till his death.


My brother and me always used to fight in childhood because of difference in opinions. He used to provoke me by telling negative opinions about my favorite things. One such difference of opinion was about Dr Raj and Dr Vishnuvardhan. Vishnuvardhan and Shankar Nag are always my favourite, one left too early and latter left us when industry wanted a leader like him.

That day morning 5 '0' clock my brother messaged me "Your favourite sahasa Simha no more". I read that message at about 6 and suddenly switched on my TV. It was a great shock. Still I couldn't believe he is no more. Bandhana is perhaps my first movie I liked most in Kannada and if I list my best, 90% of films will be starring Dr Vishnuvardhan. His Yajamana,Apta mitra, all time best Naagara Haavu and there are many to mention.

He always kept himself away from politics and controversies. But controversies didn't move away from him. With so much controversies surrounding Gandada gudi incident he continued his service to Kannada. Though people said so many things he engaged in his work with same love and affectionate for kannada. There is always debate on who is the best among Shankar Nag, Dr Raj and Dr Vishnuvardhan. But they are great in their own respect. Shankar Nag introduced and nurtured so many young talents to Kannada industry. Dr Raj led every moment in Kannada film industry. And Dr Vishnuvardhan always served as a people and director's actor and led an example for others with his simplicity and humanitarian characters.
Long live Vishnu Dada,Long live all three, Long live Kannada.

2009 : Some memories and some celebrations

Friends, 2009 is over. Those who had bad 2009 are looking for greater 2010 and those who had greater run in 2009 are looking to continue it. Well 2009 is a past I'll not remember any happenings in future because I want to start my innings with fresh mind and attitude. Hope this New Year will bring lots of happy moments in your life. But one last time I want to memories how 2009 was according to me.

2009 was a mixture of happiness and sorrows. I would like to relate my life with my family, friends, work and my surroundings. I don't want to tell anything about my family in detail here. But 2009 I have enjoyed more seeing a little member of our family, my nephew (my sister's son) Shreyas. He is mischievous like me and I enjoyed his company. My cousin released his first novel “Kathege Saavilla”. Though I couldn't read it properly, it is a proud moment for me. He is a genius and his thoughts always created enthusiasm in various subjects.

2009 has been very difficult for my few friends. The recession effect has hit badly the industries. But I know the potential inside them and felt very bad for them. I hope this new year bring lots of happiness and success to them. But there is some good news also. My best friends Ashesh and Raghu Mulgund visited Johannesburg of course for official work. Varun is still in Argentina enjoying with football mad nation. Guru went to Australia and came back.Abhay Nadigere is still in Canada enjoying his time with white people. Vedant and Anil Mahale went for higher studies. Many more names will come in the line up like Sumant and many more. But I don’t know where they disappeared and I will reserve my comments.

But best thing about year 2009 is I saw beautiful talents. A music composer in Kedar and Singer in Guru combined together to reach a mile stone. Soorya KN one among tri-murthy of SDM has some good news also. His new company reached some successes. Not to forgot my best friends Shridhar Bhat, Mahesha Shetty and Ketan Nadar's contribution in that success. I have to specially mention Shridhar Bhat. Because he was my roommate and association with people like him really motivated me. My friends Ganesh and Madhura are doing PhD. Prasanna Bhat was already there. I tried my level best to complete Engineering but these fellows are doing triple degrees. Ganesh Naik whose name I have mentioned earlier, he left the job in beautiful Goa (everything beautiful there) to do PhD. Bold decision and hats off to them. Vinay salunke who is among BJ's regular visitor is busy with J2EE.Many more people are there to mention but Most important among them is Sharath Manjithaya. He is a versatile singer no doubt about it. But He gave me his best this time "Kannada Nadina Jeeva Nadi". Perhaps it is the best song I have heard from my friends. But best of all is my ex-colleague's husband recovered from the injury which it took 3-4 years to heal.

Happenings around me also has mixture of sad and happiness. I will be writing political India 2009 a special article in coming days so ill not be mentioning it in this article. Starting with the happy news. Indian cricket team has become no 1 in test cricket. I enjoyed every performances especially Sehwag and Gambhir. My favorite Messi has become star of 2009.Multi talented Shruthi Haasan joined film industry. And bad thing is still Kasab and Afgal not hanged. No special in it. But it boils me a lot. Shilpa Shetty tied knot with Raj Kundra breaking several hearts and I was one among it. Well jokes apart, Our Great actor, my favorite actor, angry young man of sandalwood Vishnuvardhan and Great singer C Ashwath died in closing days of 2009. Vishnuvardhan has been pillar of Kannada industry for many years. He was just 59 and it came as a shock for all Kannadigas.

Individually for me it is good year. With all the support and confidence my family and friends have given to me I am thankful to them. A great reward came from my bosses and I am very thankful to them for this opportunity they have given to me. I learnt so many new things from TAPI to dotnet remoting. For little while I was associated with Teach India, but due to some work pressure and health reason I have to temporarily postpone it. That hurt me a lot.It is my dream to work for my society and I want to do it in a big in coming days.Thanks to Sharath Manjithaya, Chaitanya MR and Raghunandan for giving useful suggestion in improving my literature. I started this blog along with two other blogs. I joined EKavi but couldn't spend time with the association. This organization has created an awareness in the people that is worth mentioning here.My bike riding dream, music learning and so many things are still not fulfilled. I will end this article with saying good bye to 2009. 2010 is a fresh innings and I want to bat more in the coming days.
