Indian history discovers Sardar Patel – Thanks to PM Shri.Narendra Modi


(Originally posted on my FB page on 31st October 2014) 
Let me admit that except for being completely aware that ‪Sardar Patel is one of the tallest leaders of India, I didn't know that 31st October is his birth anniversary. At least for the last 30 years I only knew that on this day in 1984, India's only woman PM, ‪Indira Gandhi, a leader whom I adored, fell to the bullets of her own security guards.
I was in my first year Intermediate then at P B Siddhartha college of Arts and Science, Vijayawada.
I am not against‪ ‎Congress paying rich tributes to Indira Gandhi every year on this day. My question to them is: being in power most of the last 30 years and earlier, why did they not do anything to honor the Iron man Sardar Patel's contribution to the unity of India, which is unparalleled? Too much politics that do not give value to such great leaders' contribution did no good to the country as well as that party. Congress did the same to P V Narasimha Rao, one of the best PMs that India saw, though he was a Congress man. For Congress, it is only one family and no one else mattered. Finally the party is paying the price for such fanaticism. 
At least from now they should get rid of such an approach. It is also a lesson for other national/regional parties to not follow dynasty and one family politics. They must encourage talent and recognize true leaders within their party and others' too in their own interest. I thank honorable ‪‎Prime Minister ‪‎Modi for reminding Indians of Sardar Patel's contribution to this country.

Real Life Heroes - Inspiring Spirit

If we seriously look around in our daily lives, there are innumerable lives that are a great inspiration. This is a small story of a taxi driver whom I came across today while I engaged him from Dadar. His name is Shyamrao More as I gather from my conversation with him and is a septuagenarian. He has been running a taxi to eke out his livelihood since 1959 and says that there was no Mumbai beyond Sion in the 50's and late into 60's. Also people did not dare to venture onto roads in those years late in the night as it was quite dark due to lack of street lights. His philosophy in life is quite simple. "Dil ko saaf rakho. Bhagavan, apna andar mei hai"(Keep heart clean. God lives inside there). He believes in working hard to keep his pot boiling and doesn't want to depend on anyone for his needs. His wife who is reportedly 66 years of age is the opposite of what he is. She has every photo of Gods across India at their home in Tilak Nagar and is an annual visitor t...

Movie Review – Yevade Subramanyam(Telugu)

Image
This movie will definitely rank as one of the finest movies produced in Tollywood in the recent past. The theme of the movie revolves around questions like “Who Am I?” and “What Am I doing?”, that every person might have at least once in their lifetime. Subramanyam, played by Nani , works as an Investment Banker and is driven by ambition, status and money. A product of IIM-A, his vision and mission in life is to make it big in life. He is so much engrossed and hooked on to his goal that he forgets the present moment and the beauty of life. At a time when he was about to realize his dream by getting engaged to industrialist and also his boss Pasupathi ’s (played by Nazar ) daughter Ria (played by Ritu Verma ), an unexpected entry happens in the name and form of his childhood friend Rishi ( played by Vijay Devarakonda , a new find for Tollywood). Vijay played his role very well though there was a bit of overdose on two occasions owing more to directorial issues. Rishi, the charac...

Brazil Diary - The day of arrival

We reached Sao Paulo on 10th evening at 5 p.m. It was a fantastic journey for me as this is the first time I have taken the international flight. The flight from AMS to GRS was really good. There are no proper GSM phone connections here. That is what is gathered as of now. I am staying with a family, a young couple who are living together and planning to get married on 25th July at Paris. They have a palatial flat which makes even the 7 star hotels feel small. They have a fantastic taste. When I said 7 stars I meant it. He has three cars- two Volkswagon and one Honda for his fiancee. He sells life insurance and his fiancee sells health insurance. There are 70 people working under him and by the way his name is Ricardo Tarantello and her name is Diaene. Both are pretty smart. I had red wine and mushroom porridge for dinner. You know the city of Sao Paulo is a big place with 20 million population and Ricardo has lost 5 cars due to theft and he is so cool when he mentions that ``that ...
