Exam time..Once again..but probably for the last time

It is that part of my life where I had nothing to do but could not do anything useful .Three more exams are there to taken care of .With the last enjoyments making sure that the internals are poor than i had envisaged it is going to be a tough ten days ahead.
So,this can very well be the last post of me as a college student!

Goodbye College Life...I am nowhere now

One of the most romantic and emotional moments of my life has just passed me in the blink of an eye.My last day in the classroom became such a special day.Friends bidding goodbye and as we started realizing that this would be the final moments we could be together in the college and the fact that we are going to miss one another dearly ,we knew we are speechless.

These four years have been dramatic,rich in content and had that inexplicable charm attached to it.The studious and fearsome first year,the birthday celebrations,the nightshows,the trips,the talks which continued the entire night,the never ending arguments,the fights and reunion,the mess food,the cricket matches played in the hostel and the ground,the nicknames,the fake girlfriends,the desperation to see the cricket world cup,the walk we had for about 5km at 3.00 am after every match of the T20 world cup,the cricket analysis(we beleive we were better than those at SET MAX!),the placement preparation,the ecstacy after getting the first placement,the food stolen and replaced by empty covers from the friend's bags,the last semester enjoyments,the novels read in the class ,the rockets that flew in the class,hundreds of movies and discussions,the sports quiz....Oh I am going to miss all these stuffs.I cant imagine a life without all these things.

Still,I am going to spend some 25 days in the college attending the final project review and the university exams.But the days meant for enjoyment are over and it is going to be really difficult to get over it.The days that changed my perspective on life and taught me what life is all about in the most beautiful way...It is very hard to bid u Goodbye....But somewhere inside my heart,a voice tells me,"Common,It's time to move on....."

No One questions this Great Old Saint of TN

A computer engineer who was about to marry in a few days and had plans of going abroad with his new wife was burnt to death along with his two colleages.This did not happen in any of the interior parts of the country,but in the office of Dinakaran,witnessed by hundreds of people including policemen.A large sequence of incidents happened diverting the public from fighting for justice and misdirecting them to other issues.The events described below forms an Oscar winning script for a political drama..

May 9,2007:Three persons were killed when supporters of M.K. Azhagiri, son of Tamil Nadu Chief Minister M. Karunanidhi, set ablaze the offices of Tamil daily Dinakaran and Sun TV Network.Mr.Karananidhi said "This is an attack on democracy and press freedom.There is no place for dynastic succession in the DMK."

May 10,2007:He added "CBI, instead of the Tamil Nadu police, would investigate the case in a situation where my family is also sought to be implicated."The Dinakaran news editor said "Had the police deployed for security at the Dinakaran office acted on time, the lives of three innocent persons would have been saved".The police registered a case of murder, attempt to murder and criminal conspiracy among others against the accused. However, the name of Mr. Azhagiri finds no mention in the FIR.

May 11,2007:A grand function was celebrated marking the veteran's 50 years in the assembly which was also attended by Mammohan Singh, Sonia Gandhi, Sharad Pawar, Lalu Yadav, Prakash Karat, and the son M.K.Azhagiri

May 13,2007:Dhayanithi Maran resigns following a internal party decision.

May 15,2007:The main accused in the Dinakaran newspaper office attack case 'Attack Pandi' surrendered before the police in Madurai

Nov 17,2007:
Five persons accused in the ‘Dinakaran’ newspaper attack case, including ‘Attack’ Pandi, were granted conditional bail by the Principal District and Sessions court

And nothing has happened ever since regarding the case and people within the party had requested the two brothers Mr.Stalin and Mr.Azhagiri to remain united for the welfare of the party.But the unanswered question is "Has Justice been done to that innocent lives taken for the cause of personal gains?"
No one is dare enough to question our great old saint of Tamil Nadu...

May be Taslima Nasreen is not the Angel we perceive

After being tired of hearing the injustice shown to Taslima Nasreen by making her
move out of India,a digging of the backround of her being sent out of the country is necessary.Some hard facts about her has to be dicussed...

1)She was not the Medha Patkar of Bangaldesh, she had consistenly attacked the sentiments of the muslims by making derogatory comments againsts Prophet Muhammed and the Kuran.(Even Mr.Karunanithi was criticised severely for his comments against Ram).She was issued an arrest warrent and even a death sentence.

2)Why would a woman who wants to fight for freedom against women has to do it by revealing personal sexual history in an intimate narrative.

3)She had made several versions of her autobiography describing her contacts with various poets and their relationship with other women.Is this the way of fighting injustice and being a feminist.

4)She continued to hurt the sentiments of Islamic people even in India through her ruthless portrayal of Islamic laws and rules creating a lot of trouble for the government which has given her asylm.

They are various ways to fight against religious fundamentalist ,writing is one way,but there has to be some moral code which every writer may follow,not disturbing the normal life of hundreds of people.She,proclaiming herself as a writer for the betterment of the society ,has not lived to it.Instead she has led a life seeking fame through her autobiographical Kamasutras...

Illavazhagi gets some reward- finally

Finally ,Our world carrom women's champion gets some recogonition after some silent protests against the government for not showing interests in sports other than cricket.Tamil Nadu Chief Minister M Karunanidhi announced a cash award of Rs 10 lakh to Chennai-based Ilavazhagi whose father is a cart puller.
It is also fitting that a private engineering college in the city, encouraging sports, had given a job to Ilavazhagi as sports officer.
And it's a pity that such news dont get the necessary attension that it deserves and hopefully she stays in her sport with our support and bring more glory to the nation even though it shows a large indifference to her sport...
