Musings - Mylapore, KK Nagar

Homage to Sujatha: A versatile Writer, Par excellence - no adjectives to define a class writer. Any subject he can write be it - scientific, tamil literature (ilakkiyam), Haiku Kavithaigal, Janranjakam - Ganesh / Vasanth, Dhinam oru Pasuram, Kelvi Padhil & Film Dialogues cum Story etc., So many unknown writers were given sahithya akadmy awards - a deserved writer not given. Not wanted to get into politics of award recognition. But People's choice award is there for Sujatha, who has taken the science to the Common Man, able to explain the nuances of the science like Robots, Nano, Universe Theory etc., to the common man also the EVM... May his soul rest in Peace.
On Politics for last two weeks: As usual the threat to UPA Government has come and gone without a whimper from the Left. It has become a Joke even to the Electronic Media. Now, left has started once again about - third front for elections, in meetings - leaders like Bengal CM - talking that this government is not functioning well - election time mood has set in. Mr. Pranab Mukherjee has gone to USA - to talk to the Bush government and as usual said 'nuclear deal' is on and will take a political consensus on the deal. Rahul Gandhi is on 'Discovery India' tour - Orissa Tribal district to Karnataka - Road show for the Electronic Media. In our Land - Budget sans taxes - i am not getting what is the benefit the 'Common Man' going to get. A news that a minister has lost 20 crores - in hard cash , looted by his own guards (With whom the minister has asked them to deposit the money) - India is a Poor Country and the Politicians are working for the Poor.
Cricket: Cricket carnival has started in India. Match Announced in Chennai and brought rains. Good that it stopped a day before the match starts. Great batting display by South Africa. Excellent Display of Batting, Hitting by Viru - what an innings.. Great start provided by Jaffer and Viru. Greatest innings witnessed in Indian Soil - Virendar Sehwag - those who are watching are 'privileged' people, moreso on Chepauk... As usual 'Wall' - this time it has become a concrete wall... Will continue later in detail...
In West Indies Srilanka has won for the First time - usual contributions from vaas and Murali in bowling department - murali bowling 45 overs in the second innings, bowling almost unchanged from one end...
England winning in New Zealand - supposed to be in a Dead Pitch.. england batted excellent in first innings and bowled beautifully - Ryan Sidebottom enjoying a very good season..
Have a happy reading !!!!!!!!!!
