The Mask and the Lip Gloss



Usha likes bright lip gloss and liners. Unfortunately she is born in an ultra conservative family where make-up is looked upon and dealt with. So even wearing a dull lip gloss was a distant dream. Government made it mandatory to wear face mask and Usha's office too made mask compulsory. All her collogues were cursing the COVID-19 second wave. Usha was smiling under her mask with a bright red lip gloss and liner. 

Democracy and Election



Rajkumar and his wife are daily wagers in construction industry. Due to election, works were withheld for a week. Rajkumar managed his needs with whatever little supplies he had; but on the day of election his family was literally starving. Forcefully he went out to look for any petty work, where he was contacted by a party worker to vote for them & offered a packet of briyani. He bargained for four packets. His family of four had briyani that day.

 Does it really matter...


Ram, Vijay and Baskar are school friends. Ram wanted to be Aeronautical engineer, Vijay wanted to be Automobile engineer, Baskar was interested in nuclear physics ,so they pursued their respective branch of study in engineering. Years passed by.. all three of them met in school Alumni. I am Ram Senior software engineer, I am Vijay System architect, I am Baskar AI Expert. Does it really matter...

India and cultural diversity

Image
India is  a beautiful sovereign country and is one of the most culturally diverse country. Anyone in the world would easily accept India as a cultural capital. The list runs miles when we talk about the cultural experience in the form of art, festivals, customs, social behavior etc. In many countries uniform culture is adapted, whereas in India every 100KM one can experience a new cultural variant and in every 500KM can easily experience a completely different culture. If anyone wishes to witness the rich cultural heritage of India, watch the republic day parade on 26th January every year, where cultural diversity of India is demonstrated by a colorful parade. Every state of India showcase their cultural heritage with great pride during the Republic day parade. Its a real treat to watch the cultural diversity.  State of Tamilnadu team in Republic day Parade  Cultural diversity enriches the country with many art forms and enhances creativity.

Are you ready for hefty traffic fine..

It’s a great pleasure to write a blog for a social cause.. Recently government of India increased the traffic fines by almost 10x times hoping that the hefty traffic fines would force public to follow traffic  rules. I have tried to give a dimension to this whole episode with respect to the responsibilities of the Government, Individuals & Institution. The increase in fine has created  uproar as well as support among the public. It is usual in any democracy to have such split opinions. I think I was in 9th grade when my class teacher was very fond of imposing hefty fines. In those time a fine of ten rupees was hefty for a ninth grader. I have been in the construction industry for almost 20yrs. Apart from the hazards at the project site, a constant threat was travel related safety. Hence we were educated to follow the traffic rules time and again. Coming back to the topic, I happened to hear opinion from friends, Indian colleagues about  the hefty fines which have sent shock

A tribute to the fearless man with a turban and big moustache

It was early 20th century... It was more than 50years since Sepoy Mutiny(1857) happened, Well, British governance was facing tough agitation from Indian tribal leaders, Nawab's and Kings in many forms. By then British were  ruling India for more than a century and they have no plans to leave India because of the wealth it possesses, abundance of raw materials and cheap resources . They started Indian rail, planted tea gardens, developed hill stations and India has became a county( I guess) and integral part of Great Britain and Indians became immigrants in their very own country While British were developing infrastructure for the sake of rich and the powerful, we Indians were busy fighting against each other in the name of caste, creed and religion. Many castes were prohibited from entering the temples, denied formal education and women had no respect and rights  in the society. Child marriage, bonded labor  and satti were in practice. India was in dire need of personali
