Death of Kamla Markandaya

Today got the news that the Indian writer Kamla Markandaya passed this sunday in UK.
I had read only one book of hers "Nectar in a Sieve" ,it was her first book published in 1954. I can vividly remember the touching story.
I dont know why this news was not in the major newspapers or atleast on their websites since i read the newspapers on their websites only. I got this news from the website of Outlook Magazine.
Our media will come out of news when a book of poem is published not cause the poems were worthy of being published but the only reason being that the author is some top shot politican and they can curry favour from him/her.
Donno why but these days i dont feel like blogging.

The Fair Sex

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Today Morning the news papers were all filled up with the story of 'Sonia' relinquishing the post of PM.According to me her adroit political move has left BJP completely stunned.What a clever move? If she didnt wish to become PM then it she would have got someone else elected as CLP Leader but she first got herself elected and then refused to be a PM. This will clearly gather sympathy for her as she would appear as someone who is victimised. This will also increase her hold on party and if Manmohan Singh becomes PM then the remote will be in her hand moreover Manmohan will always have to live with the fact that he got the post after her sacrifice. I am really amazed by her political skills and this puts to rest all the "neophyte to politics buzz"

Well this also has one good effect, the market and the corporate world can be assured of reforms when the country is guided by someone who started the reform.It is good that our country top leadership will in the hands of two learned person one our President Kalam and another Manmohan singh,they would anyday be better than religious maniacs.

Well going through the TIMES OF INDIA today(these days i do lesser and lesser work ) on the cities page saw few pics of 'TOM HANKS'. I asked my friend Veera sitting next to me had he seen the movie CASTAWAY he said 'yes'. Then I took up the analysis of the movie and said that the thing which striked me the most was that the guy was able to live in a desolate island for four years by looking the photograph of her wife. He looked the pic and got the inspiration to fight the odds and lived just to be with her one day.This hope of his provided him all the strength and courage. Finally when he manages to meet her he finds she had married someone else.I said to Veera - the guy was able to leave in a island all alone where no one would have thought of surviving and this lady could not wait for four years living in a civilization. It is really amazing about this fairer sex, are they really fair !!!!

Veera didnt agree with me. God knows why.but I am sure one day he will agree, but then it might have been too late..

Ok going now, have to do some work.

thats all for now,will post again some more political news

My First Post

This is my first Post. I am totally new to this blogging concept, and after going through lot of blogs decided to take the plunge, and learn on the way. Right now my mind is bit diverted towards the Indian stock crash and I am busy going through the news.It seems to me the biggest stock crash ever since I started understanding the stock market. I wonder if there can be one or two other reasons also for the crash of the market apart from the new government. Though at present the new government seems to be the biggest factor in this crash.

Thats's all for now.
