independence day

A great country(sadly , not a proud one though!).Has had one of the most ancient civilizations ever. Great and rich culture ,it is infact the only ancient culture to have still survived.Has a rich and colourful history dating back to MORE than 5000 years.The land of the vedas,puranas,RAMAYANA,MAHABHARATA, BHAGVAD GITA etc etc. phew!!

Whenever down, be it in the form of foreign invasion or religious conversion, it only came back harder and stronger.

Such an incredible country like ours was ruled by the english/british for a mere 150 years.
I personally feel we are giving these english b@#$#%ds just too much credit by celebrating 15 th August as Independence day every year.50 th anniversary celebrations was fine, 60th too which is coming up shortly,celebrate it.. fine. But for how long will we keep glorifying the fact that these english m#%^^^$^&&s made us their slaves for 150 years??

Call it INDIA day or say FREEDOM FIGHTER'S day(they should get the credit which they truly deserve), but i feel its high time we moved on as a nation and start using the money spent on the lavish celebrations and security arragements on something useful for the betterment of this country and its people.

A newly carved out nation like pakistan or a country like US of A celebrating independence day is fine, because they have no other history or PAST to speak of!! But you will agee with me that OUR COUNTRY IS MUCH BEYOND these trivial anniversaries and celebrations!

Naan- Veg Curry!!

According to me the ONLY difference between cannibalism and non-vegetarianism IS IN THEIR SPELLING.

I am not trying to justify or un-justify anything(who am i to do that!!) All i can say from a veggie's perspective is BOTH ARE ONE AND THE SAME. You Kill , You Eat!!!!

"JET"aayu

If the mention of Pushpakavimana - the private luxury aircraft of lanka king Ravana in our ancient epic Ramayana was not enough(our modern day aeroplane was invented by the wright brothers barely a 100 yrs ago!! Geee!! pre-historic man knew a lot, didnt he!!) ,have you ever observed the rather mysterious presence of the word/sound JET in JATAYU- the supposed friendly eagle.

Was JATAYU just an eagle - figment of imagination mythological character or a manned aircraft that had the capability to counter ravana's pushpakavimana??

Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi:

I personally feel kunti's role in the epic Mahabharata has been underplayed.She has not been given the due credit which she truly deserves.People always remember and talk about Draupadi as being the most progressive and futuristic woman of Mahabharatha, who at that day n age had the guts to have as many as 5 partners.Agreed, but people fail to notice the fact that her mom-in-law too had 5 partners (Surya,Dharma,Indra,Vayu and Pandu ofcourse). And also remember it was kunti who gave permission to her 5 sons to divide the prize(Draupadi) they had won from the contest(Draupadi Swayamvara) equally. Was she completely unaware when she said that to her sons(as it is made out to be) OR was it all DELIBERATE??There is every reason for her to do that, as for one she BELIEVED her sons were sons of GODS themselves(that must have made her over-possessive about her sons.)I have a feeling , she must have seen the jealous looks on the faces of her sons from behind doors and must have thought "IF I COULD then WHY NOT MY BAHU!!!!"....so guys i think, it was then that the legend of Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi was born!!
