My friends have great respect for me. So they call me Poonaji ( just like Nehruji, Mahatmaji). And I prefer this to my other names.Anoop Ghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10125009153889089415noreply@blogger.comBlogger422125tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28929609.post-87283607971250236622014-04-01T00:20:00.001+05:302014-04-16T22:25:40.547+05:30Long time<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">

Long time since I blogged. It was an eventful year. So there was no time to blog :-) </div>

Comes to mind last April 6th where we had a very bad accident when our cab was hit by lorry while going to airport. Things can change quickly... Need to appreciate more the present moments..</div>

<br />
Lachu was put forwarding her heaven theory while I was seeing "wonders of the universe" DVD , I asked her whether Hindus and Christians have different heaven. She was sure they have and I will be going to the Hindu heaven. I was confused and asked her then who created this world. She was confident that Hindu Gods created the place where Hindus live and Christian Gods created where Christians live. Then who created the place where brigade metropolis exists ? Its very clear to her, since this place is owned by Hindus, Christians and Muslims this will be joint effort by all the Gods. Now I understand why Brigade metropolis costs 6500 Rs per sq. ft. It has got all the blessings.</div>

"<span style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px;">Do not dwell in the past, do not dream of the future, concentrate the mind on the present moment"</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px;">But its very difficult. It is tough to keep the mind unoccupied. Its like a chain reaction. One negative thought bombards a chain reaction and then the negativity increases. Decisions in life changes directions and changes life forever. Decisions affect not only yourself, your family and others around also. Fear steps in and then you are doomed. Failures in the past further pull your confidence down.</span></div>

Most of the relationships I screw up and then I take a pause.And then have a reason to feel guilty about that. I hope I could take a pause when everything is in a good shape...<div>

Now I am doing the corrective measures, and once I get a "Thank you!" pause the relationship.</div>

<br />
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 22px; margin-top: 10px; padding: 0px;">
Bill Maher could have not said it better:</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 22px; margin-top: 10px; padding: 0px;">
“No, it is not a surprise that a person would want to be a prophet. What’s ridiculous is that other people let him. It’s just too easy to start a religion. All you have to do is: A.) think up some really powerful stupid shit. Some stuff that is so idiotic and weird that a person who believes it will be proving that ultimate virtue of faith; B.) throw in some entitlements like life after death, washing away sins and free dental or whatever; and, C.) wait. Just wait. Just say your bullshit and stick to it. Believe me, if you do that, if you just say it, they will come.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 22px; margin-top: 10px; padding: 0px;">
(…) Faith means making a virtue out of not thinking. It’s nothing to brag about. And those who preach faith, and enable and elevate it are intellectual slaveholders, keeping mankind in a bondage to fantasy and nonsense that has spawned and justified so much lunacy and destruction. Religion is dangerous because it allows human beings who don’t have all the answers to think that they do. Most people would think it’s wonderful when someone says, “I’m willing, Lord! I’ll do whatever you want me to do!” Except that since there are no gods actually talking to us, that void is filled in by people with their own corruptions and limitations and agendas. And anyone who tells you they know, they just know what happens when you die, I promise you, you don’t. How can I be so sure? Because I don’t know, and you do not possess mental powers that I do not. The only appropriate attitude for man to have about the big questions is not the arrogant certitude that is the hallmark of religion, but doubt. Doubt is humble, and that’s what man needs to be, considering that human history is just a litany of getting shit dead wrong. This is why rational people, anti-religionists, must end their timidity and come out of the closet and assert themselves. And those who consider themselves only moderately religious really need to look in the mirror and realize that the solace and comfort that religion brings you actually comes at a terrible price. (…) That’s it. Grow up or die.”</div>

<br />
Lachu was anxious after too much discussions on Dec 21st and end of world Mayan predictions.. She was asking what is going to happen.. I said everything is going to end and asked her what she wants to do in the remaining 2-3 hours...<br />
<br />
She said she will pray to God not to end this world. But that was not possible I argued. The decision was taken long back by omiscient God and although he is omnipotent to change things usually he does not do that ( even for worst kind of rapes and child abuses God does not avoid those as Eve ate that apple and since then evil is also part and parcel of our equations..).<br />
<br />
I pushed her to know her wishes again.. Again she wanted to pray to God not to end this world and said she will cry and pray and that may have an effect on God.<br />
<br />
I agreed, but asked her to imagine that the world will come to an end and say something more funny and interesting rather than prayers. This time she said - she will see DIL TO PAGAL HAI again and started seeing. She is seeing it for the 50th time and another shah rukh khan has emerged in my house.</div>

I was feeling bad and complained to lachu. She said " dont feel bad on what others are saying.. If others are telling you use-less then they are use-less..." And after a big pause she told me " dont come to bother me with these small small things again..." Good advice.<br /><br />One week later again I was bothered by the same comments. I went to my motivator lachu and complained... She explained the same things patiently once again.." dont feel bad on what others are saying.. If others are telling you use-less then they are use-less..." And then scolded me " I HAD TOLD U NOT TO COME TO ME WITH THESE SMALL THINGs"..<br /><br />Hmm...Anoop Ghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10125009153889089415noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28929609.post-17563669451570133912012-02-26T21:34:00.003+05:302012-02-26T21:37:59.211+05:30Movie weekSaw some great movies.. ice age 2, scarface, scent of a woman, madagascar, american gangsters.....<br /><br />next in list "emerald forest"Anoop Ghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10125009153889089415noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28929609.post-15872147884937172432012-02-12T12:05:00.003+05:302012-02-12T23:17:58.443+05:30Brahma sutra - Casteism<a href="http://www.bharatadesam.com/spiritual/brahma_sutra/brahma_sutra_sankara_34107.php"><br />http://www.bharatadesam.com/spiritual/brahma_sutra/brahma_sutra_sankara_34107.php</a><br /><br />The Sûdras are not qualified for that reason also that Smriti prohibits their hearing the Veda, their studying the Veda, and their understanding and performing Vedic matters. The prohibition of hearing the Veda is conveyed by the following passages: 'The ears of him who hears the Veda are to be filled with (molten) lead and lac,' and 'For a Sûdra is (like) a cemetery, therefore (the Veda) is not to be read in the vicinity of a Sûdra.' From this latter passage the prohibition of studying the Veda results at once; for how should he study Scripture in whose vicinity it is not even to be read? There is, moreover, an express prohibition (of the Sûdras studying the Veda). 'His tongue is to be slit if he pronounces it; his body is to be cut through if he preserves it.' The prohibitions of hearing and studying the Veda already imply the prohibition of the knowledge and performance of Vedic matters; there are, however, express prohibitions also, such as 'he is not to impart knowledge to the Sûdra,' and 'to the twice-born belong study, sacrifice, and the bestowal of gifts.'--From those Sûdras, however, who, like Vidura and 'the religious hunter,' acquire knowledge in consequence of the after effects of former deeds, the fruit of their knowledge cannot be withheld,Anoop Ghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10125009153889089415noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28929609.post-73094520976836984442012-01-27T23:53:00.000+05:302012-01-27T23:54:17.988+05:30for illayaraja fans...http://www.tamilkey.com/endrendrum-raja-15-01-12-jaya-tv.html<br />http://www.tamilkey.com/endrendrum-raja-16-01-12-jaya-tv.html<br />http://www.tamilkey.com/jaya-tv-endrendrum-raja-17-01-12.htmlAnoop Ghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10125009153889089415noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28929609.post-34633893068717721272012-01-15T18:21:00.004+05:302012-01-15T18:28:15.310+05:30December Kerala Vacation<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjWgVsWt73WiwXrCnb4dFKF2NGX36UGqh9QAxYx5xBCV3HTxrOTFIZjhuqUAivQhGjlE8uOjoCS6VQsq5ysneigafdvkOAarKgAjs1AyRK_SIH3kGoYk_hN606_bXvO0vfjUfC0Vw/s1600/food3.jpg"><img style="display:block;

Only then there will be No Veri. Whenever the discussions are without logic I support only my people.. What is "my people" is depending on context...<br /><br />1. When its a Tamil-Malayalee issue I am on Malayalee side<br /><br />2. When its a Atheist - Religion fight these days I am on atheist side.. <br /><br />3. When its a Muslim-Hindu issue ofcourse on Hindu side<br /><br />etc etc.. The only place I dont support my people is<br /><br />4. When its a Ezhava-Nair issue I support Ezhavas.. I dont like these stupid Nairs. I hate to be one among them. <br /><br />I started receiving lots of Tamil views on Mulla(i)-periyar during afternoon discussions:<br /><br />1st Lecture minutes ( long before):<br />1. All RAW and national security top posts are from Kerala. They gave false advises on Srilankan Tamil issue and thats why Srilankan Tamilians are suffering. This is the reason why Mulla periyar issues come in between.<br /><br />2nd Lecture minutes ( before Dam 999 release )<br />1. Dam 999 movie is funded by Kerala government<br />2. Kerala wants water for Hydro electric power project in Idukki<br /><br />3rd Lecture minutes<br />1. 5 districts in Tamil Nadu will become desert if mullaperiyar water does not reach Tamil nadu<br /><br />4th Lecture minutes<br />1. We are paying only 6 lakhs per year for Water from Mullaperiyar. Even a software engineer can pay. <br /><br />Last Lecture minutes:<br />1. There is a talk that Idukki should become part of Tamil Nadu.. ( Thereby if people die it will be people from Tamil Nadu who will be dying)<br />2. Kerala assembly is now 80-78 and re-election is occuring in one constituency because of a death. The Mullaperiyar row is for election purpose..<br /><br />No where there is any talk about Safety and the danger if Dam breaks. In Kerala there is no ban for Tamil products or Chennai silks showrooms nor there is any attack against Tamilians. The status quo is maintained on water supply to Tamil Nadu. Its just that now people are afraid of a Dam collapse and they need an answer.Anoop Ghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10125009153889089415noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28929609.post-23671681271991495422011-12-31T22:55:00.003+05:302011-12-31T23:02:06.489+05:30No VeriHad no time for Mullaperiyar investigation.. only focus was on eating...... These are the things I heard on Mullaperiyar subject in Kerala.<br /><br />* PJ Joseph and Kerala congress is taking advantage of Mullaperiyar issue<br /><br />* Vaiko and PJ Joseph are of the same category<br /><br />* Dam is not in danger, it is a political conspiracy<br /><br />* Dam is in Danger. But everybody will listen to only Tamil Nadu.<br /><br />etc etc<br /><br />Anyway there is no Veri.<br /><br />And people are listening to and dancing to Tamil songs for new year. But I didnt see any Tamil films this time - Saw two malayalam, one hindi and one english. <br /><br />Mullaperiyar should be a symbol of co-operation and harmony. Periyar is a river flowing through Kerala and has been supplying water to 5 districts of tamil nadu for last 120 years.. and Keralites eat most of the vegetables cultivated from those 5 districts.. Let Veri go and Chiri come.....Anoop Ghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10125009153889089415noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28929609.post-77483515176971314852011-12-18T20:21:00.003+05:302011-12-18T20:31:01.654+05:30Mullaperiyar VeriWhether Dam will collapse and kill people in Kerala is not sure.. But definitely its making life of Keralites in Tamil Nadu difficult now ( as per malayalam news paper reports.. )<br /><br />Its funny how people are fighting over the net. And too much abusive remarks.. Why we are complaining about australian racism and all ? <br /><br />One thing I am not able to understand --- Kerala states Dam Safety as issue, and Tamil Nadu has fear of Kerala re-negotiating contracts ?? ( I still dont understand Tamil Nadu fears ). Its very easy to settle the issue - See if the dam is in real danger - bring experts - and do it with RED ZONE URGENCY. <br /><br />Anyway I trust more VS and Chandy than Karunanidhi/Jayalalitha/Vaiko brand.<br /><br />Decided to study more on the issue during the december vacation.

After having Pizzas and "Cranberry juice mix with honey" we wanted to have a coffee. Night 12'o clock - all options from Hosur to Mysore were discussed. And finally we decided to fly to Leela Palace - Barista place. There were 4 bullets but what chance they have when my Ferrari is there. We trouble shooted through outer ring road service roads and from Bellandur took some strange curvy small roads with lot of gutters to reach Wind tunnel. <br /><br />Cops were waiting for us after we passed HP office - But I was totally at my inner peace... Cops asked in kannada, but i will give its english translation as i dont remember exact kannada:<br /><br />Cops: where are u going ?<br />Me: Windtunnel<br />Mani: for Coffee<br />I gave my driving license and other car papers<br />Cops: where are you going ?<br />Me: HP office<br />Mani: for coffee<br />I gave my HP ID card...<br />Cops: where are you going ?<br />Me: Whitefield<br />Mani: for coffee<br />Cops wondering, asked me: Are you drunk ?<br />Me: No sir, coming from HP office<br /><br />They allowed us to go , probably because of respect to my Ferrari's age. Even KL registration doesnt matter. We anyway are the good guys.<br /><br />There were some confusions in taking a right turn at Leela palace. I took couple of U turns and lefts and rights to get into the side road of Leela palace. Dont remember exactly what happened.<br /><br />And finally parked near to the "No Parking" board. Get down and srini, anand hurried for the coffee. Chetan was waiting there. Starting walking I realized that I locked the car with key inside. DOOMED. We started removing everything near the windows of the car to open it. And now Police again - a police bike came and they seemed to be very happy to find five car thieves. But somehow they believed us seeing the car key inside. They asked us to break the window, but we didnt as duplicate keys were in my house.<br /><br />And after having coffee in leela palace at 1am went to pick up the keys ( thanks to chetan and his bike).. 1 am in Bangalore winter was shivering.. Entered the house at night as a thief without waking up anybody.. and somehow found the duplicate key. On the way also we were stopped by police ( but did let us go even without asking for papers ).<br /><br />Now with two keys in my ferrari we ventured through the difficult roads near EGL to escape police ( my 150cc Ferrari car is suitable for race courses and not for EGL terrains). After reaching Srini's home drank 1 litre apple juice and slept. Morning had plans to go to Shivaji nagar and eat biriyani.. ( there is a place where u get biriyani from 5.30am to 6.30am). That didnt happen. But even without that saturday night was colurful for me and Ferrari and others. And now sunday I have fever...<br /><br /><span style="font-style:italic;">Notes 1 - Last time I forgot car keys inside was in chennai and that time it was worse - the ignition was ON at that time. So certainly I have improvements :)</span><br /><br /><span style="font-style:italic;">Notes 2 - All names have been changed to fake names for providing privacy :)</span>Anoop Ghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10125009153889089415noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28929609.post-10520961797849607592011-11-13T21:49:00.002+05:302011-11-13T21:54:23.133+05:30Toilet flush philosophyLife is like a toilet ( be it indian or european or american). All people who have access to you come and shit at you... some after shitting clean it properly.. some do it just for the sake... some doesnt clean also after shitting...<br /><br />Anyway each time they flush you get a new freshness of life.. Life gets a new start.. a new beginning..<br /><br />What best you can hope is the ability for the toilet to flush itself.. take shits is the purpose of life.. that cannot be avoided.. <br /><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">Toilet flush philosophy is a copyrighted term - Poonaji Inc - Patent has been applied.<span style="font-style:italic;"></span></span>.Anoop Ghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10125009153889089415noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28929609.post-38551027861345079652011-11-12T21:54:00.003+05:302011-11-12T22:01:14.821+05:30Present InevitableAnd then when you are flying around your past and future incidents come which make you really feel your present moment.<br /><br />Graphite India junction 6:30pm Friday - one of the busiest - and your car doesnt start after waiting in the junction for 15 mins for signals to appear green. The omnipotent and omniscient may have known, but not me. With curses from other cars and vans, and curses from inside my own car each second was tough - but then angels came in form of a police and a santro car owner who helped me drag the ferrari to the leftmost end from the right most..<br /><br />After waiting for 1.5 hrs mechanic came and he could somehow start... The car is not yet ready , they have dismantled and trying to figure out which parts this time...<br /><br />My holy relationship with this shit will come to an end soon. Two shits cannot live together. Time for a new one.Anoop Ghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10125009153889089415noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28929609.post-23472390102632751922011-11-10T21:04:00.002+05:302011-11-10T21:11:28.181+05:30Butterfly effectWas fully immersed in movie "butterfly effect". The guy wants to change his present, have special ability to go back to past and change small events which changes his future completely.. And the interesting thing each time some thing else gets screwed up...<br /><br />Though I dont have the ability to change anything in past.. I do have this bad habit of going to past and correct small events and live with the changed events to days, months and years ( it happens really fast in dreams )..... Anyway each time I comes back to the same present....<br /><br />Another wonderful hobby I have is to go back to past and see how events have shaped up... go back and see how languages have developed, how cultures evolved... My imagination is kind of good.. But dont have enough vocabulary and time to write all of it down.. But will try to write some of it later..<br /><br /><br />Other movies saw:<br />Indian Rupee ( malayalam) and 7 aum arivu ( tamizhu)..

Very less time, and lots of interesting things to do. Only time is constraint. Make best use of the time.<br /><br />Third guy: Learn from past, and live life to the fullest.<br /><br />For me - Perception of life is different each moment... some times i think as a saint, some times as a victim, sometimes as a hero.... I dont have a clear answer... But i do want to explore life more.........Anoop Ghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10125009153889089415noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28929609.post-1694147177600678402011-09-30T15:24:00.004+05:302011-09-30T15:53:59.976+05:30Three interesting moviesTraffic ( English ): Nice inter winding stories related to war on drugs - One dedicated ( yet corrupt) officer tries to expose the drug mafia and the involvement of his boss. One judge heads the war on drugs, and also finds out that his own daughter is an addict. One rich-social wife gets surprised to know that her husband is a drug dealer when he gets arrested, but does everything to retain his drug empire. Two officers are after her and her husband wanting to expose the drug dealings. Nice movie.<br /><br />Usual Suspects: Five criminals are arrested on a case involving Guns traffic. They get angry on the wrong accusations and plots revenge against police. Soon they are hired by the never seen dreadful Keysen Soze for a job. They all have done wrong to Keysen Soze unknowingly in past and this is a chance for them to make amends. They go on the mission killing everyone abroad a ship ( which turns to be suicidal also) - and with only two survivors. Who is Keysen Soze and who is the mastermind are the questions which are solved at the end.<br /><br />Shawshank Redemption: A banker is accused of kiling his wife and killer and sentenced to two life terms. He comes to shawshank prison where .. ( I am too bored. I never write blogs this longer.. ). Nice movie. See it.
