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.

Live a lion's life, no matter if you are born like a lamb
Never regret for being born like a lamb among the lion, never feel intimidated by the strength of the mighty beasts around you, never feel hurt for the unreturned feelings of love, never feel sad for the unhappy incidents, never feel exhausted by the tiring journey you have undertaken, never lose hope for the hope you are living for, never feel hurt over the painful past, never get vexed by the unclear future, never lose your focus by the distracting environment..
Neither abandon your dreams, nor the close to heart desires but fight against all odds, live for what you wanted in life. One day you will roar like a lion though you are a lamb by birth.

A cool breeze awakened me from the random thoughts that were flashing in my brain while I walked through the corridors in my campus towards the mess. It struck me suddenly that it’s been a long time since I posted something in my blog and that I have hardly followed any news to analyse about it in my next post. With pani puri in my plates and a friend nearby, I started wondering why some person in our life appear so special to me. How is that they appear like an angel in my life and what differentiates them with other people that I have met so far? Is it that some particular qualities or some particular character of them that has enticed me? Or that is it a first of a kind like first crush or a first broad enchanting smile that made me to get lost for a moment. Having done with my pani puri, I headed towards my room after telling a goodbye to my friend.
The thoughts once again engulfed me in and left me with a heavy heart. Why is that the person I feel so special doesn’t find me special? The worse is that why do they even feel bad when we express the feeling that they are so special in our life. Of course, everybody have their own preferences and more likings and the economics that I learnt for my morning exam helped me to find the reason for this. The utility for the same quantity of good varies from one person to person. The utility that I derived would me much more than what they derive. Economics apart, the kind actions, caring words, personal helps from the special person linger in your thoughts forever and ever. No matter what happens, no matter if I will be even remembered by them their special status to me will remain intact. The days and nights pass like anything, yet there is no change in the heart, not even a sign of change could be noticed. With these emotional feelings, I started writing this post with an intention to write something in the blog.
My midterms have got over and I could get a picture of my college exams and stuff. New friends, new challenges are ahead and I need a kind of restructuring of myself. I will be back with my usual analysis soon. The controversial Iran president is back, BCCI rejection of WADA code, master mind of Mumbai terror attack is free to roam in our neighboring country and much interesting events happening around the world and I have missed following all these.

The Worst Ever Butterfly Effect
Imagine how cricket fans would have felt if Sachin Tendulkar and Wasim Akram had played for a single nation-India. This is just a post about how a single incident have had its impact in the entire world.
Never Ever in the history would there been kargil war, three other wars with Pakistan, mumbai 26/11 attacks, attack on parliament, infiltration,Indus water dispute wit Pak, construction of barbed wires in bangladesh borders, Farakha barage issue or mores island dispute with Bangladesh. With Jinnah as PM and Nehru as deputy PM or the other way round, we could have saved the lives of 2 million deaths in the communal riots that followed partition. Of course, our Father of Nation wouldnt have died in the manner he died.
I swear we would have overtaken China not only in its Population but also in terms of GDP and hence would have become the fastest developing nation in the world. The money and the time spent in wars, fighting terrorists, developing weapons could have been channeled for development purpose of our nation. Swat valley and Siachen would have become tourist spots instead of taliban hold or highest battle field. Abdul kalam would have joined hands with AQ khan to make India a nuclear nation. We would have got atleast a couple of more world cups and Olympic medals in cricket and hockey respectively. well, we would have been the nation with highest Muslim and highest Hindu population in the world and would have established our credentials of being truly secular.
There wouldn't have been better beneficiary than Pakistan. Lahore and Karachi would have become IT and finance hub. Girls in Pakistan would be thronging IITs and IIMs instead of going to schools with fear of getting killed by irrational fundamentalist. There would have news that girls are topping in the board exams rather than news about girls suffering acid attacks from hardliners. Life would have been so beautiful for the people of Pakistan.
Trust me, the whole world would have been different from what they are now. Lets not forget taliban's main recriuts were from madrashas from PAk. But for Pak, Taliban wouldn't have grown to the level it had grown. There wouldn't have been Al-qaeda, no 9/11 or 7/7, no Afghan war. If afghanistan would have been our neighbouring state and there is possibility that Russia dint invade Afghan and hence there was no reason for the raise of Taliban. The world political geography would have changed. Muslim nations wouldn't have been branded as terrorists and India would have played an important role in its neighbors Iran and Afghanistan and the situation in the middle east would have been stable.
The seeds of partition were sowed by 1905 Partition of Bengal. If Curzon had not brought out this nasty idea, India wouldn't have been parted and everything would have been good for the nation and for the world. This is an ideal example of butterfly effect. An irreversible mistake done in the past had brought havocs all around the world..
