Why India is still an underdeveloped country.?

Sreenarayana Guru said do not make, endorse, sell, use liquor.

And  Sreenarayana Guru Award is for the one who endorses Liquor.

Someone told me in the past that one film actor paid Rs.30 Lakhs to get a Padmasree Nomination.

Do not know really how one endorses liquor can get a Sreenarayana Guru Award.

People of this country are mute spectators of this kind of great shows by the rulers.

If our Leaders behave in this fashion, India will remain as a underdeveloped even after 1000 years.

To certain extent people have learned to give less importance to the shows of our leaders.

Who is responsible for this….

Suffocation of a kind people feel here but there still hope left in our dreams..

People of this country got this confidence nowto say to the rulers that you cannot smother the dreams of one ancient civilization forever.

Let the dreams of people of this country be more brighter than the paid up awards of nepotism of our Leaders..

Let India be a beautiful country from within..

 

IT WAS NOT A DREAM
(Poem of the month)

 

 

 
 



Once
I looked upon a majestic hill near Kedar
Years rolled on seasons
and it  was raining in gardens
while i was in my eastern sea shores
i watched the hill falling
like a paper pillar,
It wasn't a dream
it was floating in front of me
grounded, as if to finish off
its own rude rancor.... 

 

COLD COFFEE

(a short story by Meera)

 

In South Indies, just relished this cold cofee. My cousin Gayatri told me today this news that Lalit Modi is going to receive a life ban from BCCI. She further said that one love guru is going to get one more feather in his 70 crores of arrogance. 
Gayatri has changed a lot. She explode these days on slightest provocations. I am unable to handle her. Further to that there this cold coffee effect still in me. 

There one funnily dressed lady entered in 'Apple Bar' near South Indies with a lot of make up. I haven't seen anyone with so much of paint. She was wearing a bright red coloured lipstick and hand purse in red. I looked at her through my the window.. She gulped a bottle full of beer.

Phone rang and i sent a mail to Gayatri and said i want to meet her in the evening.

Later in the evening we met near Chinmaya Mission Temple.

We paid Rs.1000/- towards poor feeding. 

We sat there inside and listen devotional bhajans. I felt a kind of coldness in me. Fragrance of cold coffee was there in my fingers. 

I loved the fragrance of coffee.

I could not find an answer that why i  started liking cold coffee. 

I have noticed a coldness in me and even after experiencing the worst i understood i can remain calm from within.

Even when my outer layers of life quarrel and argue on invading thorns of  life, there i found a coldness emerging from  the fragrance of freshly blended cold coffee.

Gayatri opened up her ipad and showed this news. 

Confessions of a lady columnist that 'gossip hurts'. 

Gayatri had this smile on her face that this columnists had hurt in the past a million people by her not so worthy columns and finally she found it like one new invention - 'gossip hurts.'

Even after reading that i wondered why i feel this coldness.

Gayatri said a million things about Solar Panel to Page three hype to new books to reviews of films. 

I felt a coldness in my brain cells..

I watched a film called Chennai Express and hated it for the artificial, created outbursts and exaggerations in that film. I never could see the trace of real Shah Rukh Khan i expected for in that film..

Coldness still in me..a kind of detachment and i started loving it..

Gayatri forwarded her blog today. She made fun of that love guru again, it is true that even i felt his finishing off strategy  too silly. 

There again this coldness. 

I started enjoying my cold coffees, coldness

You know Meera, i am fed up of seeing this political rivalries, too irritating.... After finishing off his detractors in the meanest of meanest tricks,  look  at that love guru celebrating his life with his

seventy crores of arrogance in film parties and show off stages. I don't think it is greatness but a kind of narrow unworthiness.. ... Gayatri could not control herself.. 

She wasn't like this.. From an easy go lucky free spirit she changed

Strange.. I thought....

Power shows, dramas, show offs, i know it is not our...

it is not our  cup of... coffee.... 

Gayatri said with a smile on her face..

There still this coldness in my heart

I did not say anything..

I relished my coldness..

My heartbeats are accustomed to that coldness..

Aroma of cold coffee..

Soul filling fragrance

Soul filling coldness.....
