I am a fighter and I would never get settled down without reaching my destination, I would fight all days and nights without even blinking my eyes for a moment to achieve what I wanted. I would not stop my journey till the last cell in my body is awake.
I am a chameleon that no one will ever notice my presence, I would change too fast leaving no time for people to realise how I change all of a sudden leaving no trace of the past.
I am an undecipherable puzzle, leaving no clues or hints anywhere to decode me or my actions. I am an unbreakable code that even the toughest minds will fail if they attempt to break it.
I am a heartless beast who would never mind about the means but would never lose the focus from the ends. Nothing would stop me and nothing will survive if it comes against me in my path. Hard at heart, that kindness and mercy are undefined terminologies to me.
I am a devil who would act in a strange way, yet my heart and brain would keep me going in the exact direction and the every step I take would have been already manipulated to take me to the steps of victory.
I am a winner, who would put all the efforts to come from the last position to overtake everyone in the way to lead the race. I would run so fast that no defeat can ever catch me up.
I am a lion who would roar when the time comes to remind the beasts around that I am still a powerful creature and that I am their king!!!
I am a phoenix who could rise back from death, but not hundreds of years required for me to come back, just a fraction of second will be sufficient for me to spring back again.
But in the end, I am just a normal human being who would make all mistakes in life and would later realise the mistakes done, would regret for the wrong things done, wouldn’t just stop there, but would stay in the field to get things alright, would recover completely to stay alive in the course.

Discrimination
When a neutron hits Uranium 235 atom, then the heavy nucleus disintegrates into smaller particles whose aggregate mass is lesser than the mass of the reactants. And the smartest German Jew who migrated to USA has given the relationship to the mass lost to the energy produced in the process. Just because I am from Persia, one cannot stop me from harnessing the above nuclear energy produced. It has been seventy years since nuclear fission was discovered and now the western world is doing all measures to curtail the nuclear programme of a developing country in the Middle East.
First of all, Nuclear Non Proliferation treaty (NPT) operates in a discriminatory framework giving unfair advantage to nuclear weapons states consisting of USA, UK, Russia, France and China. Iran, a signatory of Nuclear Non proliferation treaty, by all means, has the right to develop its nuclear programme for peaceful purposes. Yet why should Iran denied the opportunity to engage in nuclear research? Israel has a controversial nuclear history. It never accepts or denies the fact of holding the nuclear weapons. And yet the western nation seems to be least bothered about this country which has been engaged in war since its birth. Friends will be spared in this world.
It goes down to technical details whether Iran did or didn’t comply with the nuclear safeguards obligations required by NPT. When IAEA complains about the non cooperation by Iran, the western powers grab this opportunity to accuse that Iran has violated NPT. Hence it becomes easy for IAEA, proxy for western powers, to crib and cry about Iran’s non cooperation. I wonder how Hillary made a statement that Iran denuclearization is essential for disarmament when US boasted of having 5000 odd nuclear warheads. And US have no right to accuse other country of nuclear threat as it remains the only nation ever in the history of mankind to use the nuclear weapon on another state.
US were helping in the setting up of nuclear plants in Iran. But the Islamic revolution of Iran changed the way the west looked at Iran that now the same country which helped to establish its first nuclear plant is fighting vociferously to not to allow them to develop the nuclear plants. I wonder why Iran’s scientific development should be depended on whether they are an ally to USA or not.
Enriching the uranium further could produce fuel to the nuclear weapon. So enriching the nuclear fuel abroad, especially in Russia, still remains a viable option. There would be assurance for the west that Iran wouldn’t be involved in nuclear weapons production. It would be better to look at this option than threatening Iran to withdraw its nuclear programme.
There are instances where Iran has shown its irresponsible nature such as calling to wipe off Israel. In the past countries like India, Pakistan had developed nuclear weapons covertly, though they denied that they were developing any till the last moment. But IAEA chief Mohamed ElBaradei confirmed that Iran doesn’t have the capacity to produce nuclear weapon in the near future. Yet sanctions keep pouring on this nation. “Atoms for Peace” programme has become “Atoms for sanctions” with US and its allies have already issued 4 rounds of sanctions. More than 50 countries are nuclear states and 15% of the world’s electricity comes from nuclear energy, the dependence on the nuclear energy is increasing day by day. Hence denying the Islamic Republic its right to become a nuclear state is nothing less than a crime committed by the so-called developed nations.

GOODBYE 2009
As the time flies by, a new chapter opens and the previous chapter dies down, though the effects of the previous chapters will affect the following chapters. It is time to say goodbye to 2009 and to welcome the year 2010 with warm hugs and a broad smile. 365 days is good enough to bring in new changes and to throw surprises and shocks among the people and the year 2009 is of no exception to this.
This year saw the unprecedented event of a black taking over as the president of the most developed country in the world. Yet another surprise, rather a shock was the conferring of the Noble Peace Prize to the same person. Well, it might have been an incentive to establish peace in the world or may be the prize was given to him for his wonderful oratorical skills which could bring peace someday to the world. New health care reforms introduced in US hit the headlines several times the year and the US government came out finally with the plans to save the ailing auto industries through its whooping bailout amount in billions.
Middle East, which remained unchanged for decades, continued its tradition. The world silently watched the Israeli’s indiscriminate hunting of Hamas in the beginning of the year. Regime change in Israel and electing the hawk, Benjamin Netanyahu, as the prime minister halted any steps to bring in talks to establish a long lasting peace. Iran’s attitude and the western countries threatening Iran remained intact. The West failed to capture the wide spread protests against the re-elected president Ahmadinejad for rigging of polls. The end of war in Iraq and Afghan seems to be not in the near future and Pakistan had its heaviest blow this year with several terrorist attacks at the heart of several cities. Srilanka saw the rooting out of LTTE with the death of its chief which resulted in the end of the bloody civil war. China’s mighty growth and its taunting of India continued.
Back home, India had its general elections with the UPA getting the huge majority. Youth icon played a major role in the elections with Rahul Gandhi and Varun Gandhi flashing in news repeatedly. The Left was shown the early exit door and Advani was given a much needed defeat. There was a major change in the top posts in BJP and Nitin Gadkari became its youngest president. The centre made a grave mistake in dealing with the Telangana issue leading to major disturbances in Andhra Pradesh. Maoists were at all time peaks and there were many destructive activities done by the Naxalites this year.
Swine flu scared the world commuinty and spreaded panics across the countries. Jobless and the economic stimulus provided by the governments in the various countries became a norm in 2009. Sudden demise of the pop king Michael Jackson brought in deep sadness among his fans. The dark side of the legend Tiger Woods shocked the entire world. The revealing of the inflated numbers by Ramalinga Raju, founder of erstwhile Satyam, brought him disgrace across the country leading to its takeover by Tech Mahindra.
It was a proud moment when Chandrayaan detected water in the moon’s surface. AR Rehman brought laurels to our country by winning Oscar awards. There was a good Bull Run in the stock market in India in 2009. In Cricket, India became the number one country in Test Ranking. Tendulkar became the highest run scorer in test matches and completed his 20 years in International cricket. Federer surpassed Pete Sampras by winning his 15th grand slam finals and retained his number one ranking again.
The life in the earth goes on, no matter what changes and what miseries and happiness has been brought in a year. Let us put the past behind and move on with yet another beginning. Let us welcome 2010 once again.

The unstoppable VIRUS..
Walking in the streets of my hometown, I could hear the loud words of the people. Everywhere I go, they seem to be speaking about the same topic. At my home, my friend’s home, shops and hotels people have got involved in the similar lines of discussion. “In my home, we received 1000 rupees.” “Oops they gave us only 500 rupees.” Women too were having their own talk. “The saree colour is too bright. I didn’t like the design too”.
The by-election to my hometown constituency is to happen and the bribes they were receiving have become the talk of the town. Both the ruling party and the opposition started wooing the people through cash. Not to mention that dhotis and sarees were also offered. Times have gone when people debated on their ideological differences before elections. People who were scared to accept bribes or who hesitated to tell outside about getting free gifts from unknown person started boasting about the things they have received.
It has become an accepted norm to get what is being offered before the elections. And the money that is being offered plays really an important role in their decisions to cast their vote. “Let me vote for this party as it has offered me and my family a lump sum amount”. Every party has started following this strategy of ‘cash for vote’. Let us try to think from the point of a genuine voter who wanted a government for the welfare of people. When every party comes out with cash to buy his vote, will that genuine voter ever tries to vote for these parties. The voting is happening on elimination basis, rather than on preference basis. “This guy is the worst guy; let me vote for another person who is not that bad as him”.
I turned down the bribe they offered to us. Wow.. I am learning to negotiate with people and learning how to tell a “No” to people. Practical experience which is needed for a manager!! On a serious note, this is actually spreading like a virus. This is not for the first time I am seeing this kind of wooing people. Early in the year General Elections, I saw it in my eyes in one of the important constituency of south Tamil Nadu, where an influential kingmaker was contesting for the first time. With a landslide victory to the person who offered them unprecedented offerings, the formula seems to work out with our people. The trend is continuing and everyone seems to have realised that it is the best strategy to follow to get the votes of people.
When the democracy in our country crumbles like this, I have no regret of not casting my vote though it is about nearly 5 years have passed since I crossed the so called eligible criteria of 18 years. Perhaps even my name is not in the electoral list and I have no intention to get enrolled in the electoral list. May be I am not exercising my duty, but between the devil and deep blue sea I need not choose one for my nation.

It starts with a S and ends wit an A
It starts with ‘S’ and ends with ‘A’. I have no clue how I fell in love with S****A. S****A has given me mixed feelings from the happiest moments to the most depressing ones. I have cried, laughed, shouted, freaked out because of S****A. I met with disappointments at every junctures. I am not sure if I had been obsessed with anything else for such a long time in my life. I am feeling helpless as I couldn’t come out of this. My rational thinking stops here, I become crazy at times.
S****A, it is my childhood cricket team - South Africa. I remember the day when Lara hits a century to shut the door for the team which was the top performing one in its group. The quarter final which I could watch as I had bunked my school for illness gave me the chance to see a team which I dint realise that time was going to be my most favourite team. May be I felt sympathy for them, maybe I thought that they deserved something better, I still don’t know how I fell in love with that team.
I still remember the match I started supporting South Africa even against India. It was the league match in 1999 world cup, where South Africa bet India by chasing India’s score. I felt more happy for S****A having a wonderful run in that world cup before its abrupt halt in the tied semi finals. Oops. My heart stopped when I woke up in the morning and my dad told that S****A couldn’t make it to finals. (I couldn’t watch any match after 10 clock in home. Strict rules at home :( ). I am sure that I felt more bad than what I felt when I got zero in verbal in my CAT 07.
Then comes the dark side of my beloved team. I stopped watching cricket for about 3 years because of the match fixing scandal. I felt betrayed, I spent all my time in supporting S****A against India in those 5 matches. 4 out of the 5 matches were too close that I was supporting madly for a team against my home country and realised later I was a fool to support a team when the result was already fixed. The most respected captain was sent out in the most disgraceful way and whose death didn’t even make headlines.
I again started watching cricket when the 2003 world cup began. Yet another disappointment was there for me. I can’t forget the headline in a Tamil news paper “En mel vizhuntha mazhai thuliyae, ithanai nalla engu irunthai?”. Tears rolled in my cheeks along with the rain drops. Pollock’s miscalculation ended the calculated innings of South Africa in a yet another tie and the host country was shown the early exit. Wouldn't they keep displaying the projected runs to be scored in case of D/L? Of course, they did that after that match. :(
Disappointments didn’t end there. When everyone in the hostel was rejoicing when R.P singh removed the stumps of Albie morkel, there was a soul who was dumbstruck and trying to understand the situation. Losing for the first time in the tournament and getting out of the tournament was really painful. I started shouting that if Kallis had been there, the match would have been saved. Tournament after tournament, my support for my favorite team has increased but only disappointments had been piled up.
Call it as a team that can’t withstand pressure, nervousness is their misery, spin is their allergy. Yet they are known for their disciplined hard work and excellent fielding. Team changes, the players keep changing. Yet over a decade I am supporting this team for no reasons and I will continue to do so.

Where is S..........?
Where is S.......? You can't deny me the things that I have right over. Its an unfair treatment meted out to me. You can't keep hurting me all the times. I am not here as a slave to you to accept whatever is forced. I have my voice, i will shout to the world, i ll shout to the future generations, i ll shout until everyone knows, i will shout unless the damage had been reversed. 17 years have passed and the World largest democracy has no reply to prove its SECULAR credentials. LETS STAND AND MOURN FOR THE BLACK DAY IN THE INDIAN HISTORY.

I am scared of this Mighty Beast!!
I am scared, intimidated by this ruthless creature which is gaining enormous power over the period and growing bigger every day if not every second. I am not the only one who is terrified by this beast, but the whole world is watching the beast with a sense of fear.
When the world shrunk last year, this nation drove the world economy with its 9 % growth. Last year it proved to the world that it is truly growing in every sphere by organising a flawless Olympics. And now, the 60th anniversary of the People’s Republic provided yet another opportunity to showcase its military prowess. Ranging from nuclear missiles to fighter aircrafts, together with 8000 soldiers marched past the president, the growing dragon projected its strength to the outside world.
Believe it or not, we are truly intimidated by the strength of this Communist state, where the communism is just in words. We are afraid to shout out the incursion into our territory by them. It is a shame on our nation to accept the fact that we do nothing in return for their raising incursions. There is nothing worst than the statement given by the army general stating that the incursion has not increased when compared to last year incursions. I wonder why we are trying to downplay these incidents and comparing it with the previous year as if we comparing to an industrial standard or something. There is no other way to show that we are threatened by this mighty neighbour than to keep quiet whenever the big guy bullies us. Reports of China's incursion in Bhutan are evident and this strategic move, which leads to accumulation of more Chinese troops near our border, should be watched with more caution.
Issuance of new kind of Visas to people from Jammu and Kashmir has alarmed the top authorities of our country as China did the same thing by issuing new Visas for people from Arunachal Pradesh, which it claims to be part of it. How can we tolerate this kind of treatment meted to us by another nation? Jammu and Kashmir is an integral part of our mother nation and hinting of other nation that they don’t recognise so should be dealt back severely. We show our strength by talking harsh on our Western neighbour, but we keep our mouth mum with the eastern neighbour. It is true that dragon is growing at an enormous pace which no one can imagine or no one can attempt to stop their growth. Driven by new technology in the industries, China has proved its mettle in the space field too. The world most populous nation, being the largest nation in East Asia with third largest GDP in the world, is going to be the main player in the world sooner or later. Its voice is already being heard all over the world.
As long as China plays dirty sports with us, it is going to be tough for our development. UN security council seat will always remain a dream for India as long as China has the veto power over this issue. Is it that the china is intimidated by our growth and resorted to its spoiled sport for hampering our growth? It outdoes our country in almost every sphere of life and it doesn’t want to lose its dominance over the Asian countries. China’s growth cannot be halted, but we can raise ourselves higher and move faster than the beast, which seems not possible in the near future.
I am scared by this mammoth, so do others. I have no clue if we could surpass this ruthless nation, but we don’t have any other choice. Else this kind of bullying on us will continue forever and ever. The red dragon has just now formed, let us prepare ourselves before its starts breathing fire, or will become ashes by the ravaging fires from the monster.
