A very nice article on how even pilgrimages are not given their due respect. May God give these "leaders" wisdom and understanding.

long lost ...

Wow! I had almost forgotten that I even had a blog. Hmm.. I should probably get back to writing something. Do I have the time? Maybe I do, maybe I don't. But I sure need to make the time to put something down. It feels odd that I have not written anything in almost 3 years. Two years and eleven months and nineteen days to be exact. And to think that to put something up regularly was something I wanted to do! Interestingly my last post has Adieu as the theme. I was only saying bye to my previous employment. Did it rub off on my writing as well? It sure feels that way! Strange, strange, strange! Maybe I should title my post as "hello" or something like that. Will it then rub off on my writing?

End of world shopping?

India Republic day 2010.

Today we celebrate the 60th anniversary since the day India turned into a Republic on 26th Jan 1950. This is the day the constitution of India was adopted. Reading through Republic Day page on wikipedia , the following quote caught my eye. "During recent years, it has become fashionable among some citizens to disparage the founders and their document. These individuals disappointed by the developments in the country since 1950, have called for changing the constitution explaining that it has not 'worked'. Such thinking, in my view, is misguided. Constitutions do not 'work', they are inert, dependent upon being 'worked' by citizens and elected and appointed leaders" Wishing all Indians a wonderful Republic day.
