Follow the bliss!

Today I happened to read an article in a news paper.Its about following the bliss.Every one in this life brings some thing unique to the world.So following the bliss is nothing but bringing the uniqueness in to life.

Not every one is capable of understanding his/her uniqueness.But those who are capable enjoy the life of bliss,they love their life and live every moment of it.

I am trying to find my uniqueness,slowly but surely i will bring that.I certainly believe that I am quite capable of that.

Follow the bliss!

Secrets of The Sacred Land!

Srilanka,the land once ruled by Kuber (God of prosperity) ,is now under the clutches of inevitable war.The war has caused serious damage to the country.Atrocities and violence are unleashed against the people.
The country is in chaos.Most of you might wonder why I chose to write about this country which is embroiled in internal conflicts and ethnic clashes.In spite of all negative things about srilanka I want to write about this country because I share a close bond with this country.Directly or Indirectly I have been influenced by my own father who was born and brought up in Srilanka.

Srilanka is a Sanskrit word which is translated to "sacred land" .Many of us know all the devastating and disgusting facts about Srilanka.In this blog I decided to explore the positive aspects which we failed to gaze around.

If you want to understand a country,you should see both the positive and the negative aspects about it.Many of us not aware of the fact that srilanka ranks high in literacy.In the population ,93% are literate.In HDI(Human Development Index) it ranks at 99th place ( Mind our country ranks at 128th).Though the country involved in civilian war almost all the time,it managed to give compulsory education to 99 percent of its children.Really its an achievement! isn't it??.

My father always tells me that the food of srilanka is one of the delicious stuff .I never had a chance to relish myself on srilankan food.But surely I will.

They eat fish a lot .almost every day (like our Keralites).There are lot of similarities between kerala and srilanka.Because both have rich biodiversity with abundant natural resources.

The Tea estates and coconut trees and fish food are few things quite common between these two places.Not to forget that the liquor consumption is quite high in both of these places when compared to other parts.The same goes with Tea production and consumption as well.

Srilanka contributes to 25% of Tea products in the world market.Even in fish and coconut products it is still a dominant country across Asia.

Srilankan diaspora is one of the strongest diaspora, spread across Australia to Canada,from Singapore to East European countries.

In particular people from Jaffna are known for their intelligence and work ethics.This community is one of the successful community where ever they migrate.

then comes the tourist places of srilanka,
The beaches of srilanka are amazing,Thanks to the conflicts,these beaches are not spoiled by human waves yet Though it got affected by Tsunami waves some times back.

For people who is interested in history and archeology ,srilanka has more than six heritage site ,

pls refer the below link for further reference,

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_Heritage_Sites_of_Sri_Lanka.

There are lot of religious places as well.Kandi is one of the famous Hindu temple..

When you visit the Buddhist temple(in Colombo), dont forget to get a glimpse of the teeth which belongs to our Buddha.

Thats all I can write about srilanka now!.

All we can do now is to pray to god for peace in srilanka!

Let there be peace on My Father's Nation!

The country I admire!

Israel is the country I admire.There are lot of things which make that country admirable!.

For people who dont know much about Israel and its history, here is the gist,

Courtesy:wikipedia.

"The Land of Israel, known in Hebrew as Eretz Yisrael, has been sacred to the Jewish people since Biblical times. According to the Torah, the Land of Israel was promised to the three Patriarchs of the Jewish people, by God, as their homeland;[22][23]".

After long struggle the Jews around the world with the help of Zionist movement established the Independent state in 1948.

Though the country is surrounded by hostile countries ,not only the country protected its sovereignty but also transformed itself from the level of newly established country in to the leading technological power house.

Jews are one such people where ever they are ,they will be successful.Be it business or finance,agriculture ,any industry.
Ironically Israel is the country where the maximum landscape is made up of desert,But it is the leader in agricultural inventions ,water conservation techniques ,geothermal energy etc.

Despite being involved in lot of wars,Israel ranks highest in most sought after place for doing business.It may be surprising to you.but it is the fact.
If you see any leading business houses, directly or indirectly there will be a jew.Now its time to give the facts!
see the successful companies and the Jew behind it.
Oracle-Larry elision(Founder)
Apple -Steve Jobs.
Google-Larry Page,Eric Both are jews.
Microsoft-Steve Balmer.
Dell-Michale dell.
And the most intelligent person on the earth Einstein was a jew.
The list goes on.May be we can rephrase the saying "Behind every successful there is a woman" to "Behind every successful company there is a jew",it may not be an exaggeration.

Mossad the Israel intelligence agency is the most efficient and powerful organization which not only monitor the enemey's activities but also counter them such a way that their infrastructure get dismantled.

There are quite a lot of reason why I like Israel,There was one parable about Indra Gandhi.During her tenure as PM of our country,Most of the Cabinet Ministers were male,But the way she ran the government,made some of her admirer to comment that she was the only one man in the government among the women.

Similarly I see Israel is the only one Man among the bunch of feminine countries.

The will to stand alone when the entire world is against you!

I wish India should develop bilateral relationship with Israel so as to eliminate the enemies of humanity.

Morale of the story:-
Be a Man!

Media and its role in Indian polity!

Media is one of the powerful tool in society as it augments the public opinion and create greater awareness among people.

Unfortunately in our country media seems like playing the negative role by projecting the the other India (ie dark side of our country).I do agree that the poverty is still predominant in our country,but I don't agree the concept of sensationalizing the poverty to get fame and attention.
That is the main thing these media and its people crave for.

There is one good example told by our former President none other than APJ Abdul kalam.During his tenure he visited Israel as the guest of then prime minister of Israel.

That particular night there was a terrible bomb blast ,hundredths of people got killed,naturally kalam wanted to know the story of it and expected the newspapers to carry the gory pictures and minute details of it.But he was in a surprise ,instead of carrying the gory and sensational news the media were reporting the latest invention in agriculture in big way,thus putting the bomb blast news in the last page with out giving much emphasis for it.Man he was really surprised,He told this story to our media people so that they can emulate the example of reporting positive news rather than trying to increase their TRP rate or sales of their newspaper.
Becoz nation interest is paramount and its above TRP rate and sales of newspaper.

Keep blogging!

Bye for now.
