Lets have Suda Suda Dosai and avoid Suda Suda News

Blog time finally arrived with the agitations in Andhra brought all of us a 2 days forced holiday. Finally after a couple of weeks found some leisure time to catch up with some news and good articles in Metro Plus and Education Plus. Sipping a cup of coffee, enjoying an amazing combination, the chill morning breeze, the smell of the print, mom's suvayaana sambar and crispy suda suda dosai. While glancing the paper, I came across an amazing Ad by Amul, "Slice butter, but not the country", there was a picture of India and a golden ring like the one around Saturn, which symbolically represented United India. There was also a caption in addition to all this, "A state of Bliss". Just a couple of statements, but the Ad spoke a lot. Appreciate the man who thought of it. I drove my dad to his office, he wanted to pick up some of his papers, so that he could work at home. While we drove back I was reminded of one of the issues Bharkha Dutt was debating on last evening on NDTV. I have always had great regards for her, because she was one of the reporter present at the Kargil. I felt she was a sensible journalist. Last night after some provocative discussions with the Congress and BJP leaders, she switched topic to Hemanth Karkare's case, who was the martier in 26/11 attack at the Taj Hotel. Bharkha was talking to his wife about the tragic incident. The case was about some sweeper having disposed his bullet proof jacket in the trash. Was is a cover up story or was it really true and in that case who was that sweeper, and how he is involved in the case. It is always possible that Hemanth's wife is not interested in investigating her husband's demise. Amidst the greif and trauma, Bharkha kept provoking as to how she would fight the battle to find out the truth. The moment she used the words, fight and battle, I realized, how insensible she was. Such words provoke any human's subconscious mind and such words would evoke desperation in the woman's mind. As one of the CEO's she might be using her education and experience very well to improve the TRP rating of "The Buck Stops Tonight", but as a human she has lost her modesty. This is so typical of any media these days. I appreciate Obama, when a couple barged into White House, during a dinner meeting, it was blown out of proportion, calling it a security lapse. Obama closed the case and said, we should stop doing the post event analysis and should look at how to strengthen the security than spending our time on this loose talk. 

In Iraq, with all the havok and unpleasant scenario, even today, the news headlines in all the news papers is a positive statement. Hope is the essence of life and lets not ruin the essence by encouraging unpleasant news reports.

Alright guys, its lunch time, I am gonna have a good meal and probably catch up with some sleep.

Deposit thoughts to your brain and withdraw the positive ones.from your memory...

What would be the performance of your car if you filled the crank with a couple of scoops of mud...
The same is the effect on the mind's performance when you feed it with negative thoughts.....

Master ' The magic of Thinking Big'

A man went for school and graduated with a honors after 4 years. Before he attended school, he always told his friends that he wanted to start his own business once he graduates. Once he finished schooling, he came to meet one of his friends in his town. The friend asked him, what happened to his business plan. The man replied, saying that he has no idea of starting one any more. His friend asked him why? He said, " All the while, in the last 4 years, I learnt what issues and challenges a start up company could face and all the different ways a business could fail"

Repeatedly sowing seeds of failure in your fertile mind, reaps fruits of failure.

If only the man had learnt or thought about the positive things that might happen to him, he would probably be a successful business man...
