THE BAFFLING CASTE SYSTEM STIL CLOGS OUR LIVES ...A TRAGEDY OF HONOR KILLINGS:(:(:(

In the end its all sympathy from the public,a bigger unbridled media speculation and hype,and a loss of their own people for the vandalism of caste forms in our country.I opine that it is a case of unfolding coloured, yet debatable modernism with shadows of darker viciousness and traits of sinking humanity and love in present era.

RIZWANUR REHMAN,sounds familiar rite?a victim of honor killing.media scrupulously handled the entire scene,but where is all the news now?years together they investigate and in the end dusty files are still on rampage to courts,even in the recent Nirupama case,my horizons don't find any lesser vindictive attitude if these inhuman slayers are put in par with Afzal guru or Ajmal kasab.To be young and in love has proved fatal for many young girls and boys in parts of north India as an intolerant and bigoted society refuses to accept any violation of its rigid code of decorum, especially when it comes to women. how long is this going to rig our minds deep well until we face it?

Efforts should be made to sensitise people on the need to do away with social biases. But equally, it should be made clear that there is no escape for those who take justice into their own hands. So far, there is no specific law to deal with honour killings. The murders come under the general categories of homicide or manslaughter. When a mob has carried out such attacks, it becomes difficult to pinpoint a culprit. The collection of evidence becomes tricky and eyewitnesses are never forthcoming.

The police cannot be unaware that in many cases they are coming back to certain death at the hands of their relatives and fellow villagers. Yet, pre-emptive action to protect them is never taken. Undoubtedly, the virus of caste and class that affects those carrying out such crimes affects the police in the area too. But that can be no excuse to sanction murder. Active policing and serious penal sanctions is the only antidote to this most dishonourable practice.so,keep watching the colourful flash news on your display screen,for it to fade away for the swampy and irresponsible media that gets on to next story.nor the cry and agony of the lost ones is going to fade for them to unravel the mystery mystically and still walk brave on the roads head held high.alarmed minds hopefully make sure such incidents don't happen anymore,if at all any such in our country.

A BANG UP NOVEL!:midnight's children by SALMAN RUSHIDE

Have you ever felt the need to know what exactly fantasy fiction is? If yes, this is an excellent book by a master story teller. This book is strictly to those people who accept the writer’s imagination, and are able to define with it; else any one seriously examining this book is going to find it full of Indian english jargon.The second important thing to read this book, is you should have the nerve and patience to read through Salman Rushdie’s prose. Sometimes, there are sentences (without fullstop) carrying over 1 full page. Imagine one sentence from top to bottom of the page… It’s difficult to continue with that kind of writing but if you do get with these entitled enigma and these minor things, then behold, for before you,lies one of the greatest books written in history!

The story is as usual written in first person and begins with a remark on our independence. In fact in real sense, it is an autobiography of the fictional character. He begins with his birth, which by the stroke of luck, was at midnight on the day India gained freedom. Similarly like him hundreds of other children are born too and they all have one thing in common, the power of telepathy! All the people born on the stroke of midnight on Independence Day, 1947, have these powers!.The story begins in Bombay, moves to Pakistan, then to Bangladesh, to Bengal, to so many places, before eventually ending at Bombay again. The character explains his journeys and what he experiences with similar people born on the same day (midnight’s children). The political and historic backdrop which Salman Rusdhie has used, works very well with the story. So well, that one might not notice that Gandhi is killed on a wrong day instead of January 30th 1948. Don’t worry, the book is full of chronological disorders, but that was the way the book was written in the first place.The events co-incide and influence his life in more ways than one. Rushdie also takes a dig at Indira Gandhi, as the Widow, who is in fact also the main villain of the story! The Widow is out to kill all the gifted children, ‘cause she fears them. Of course, the gifted children as they are, do manage to escape.

The author then returns to Bombay to carry on with his life in a pickle factoryRushdie’s main charm lies in the way he has mixed all the political events of Pakistan, India, and Bangladesh effectively in the story; more so for the fact, almost all the events are at wrong times in history and yet its difficult to notice it!! Language has always been Rushdie’s forte. I cannot think of any other writer who can convey a 4-pageful of facts in 4 lines. The humour and sarcasm too are very well written and placed in the bookMidnight’s Children is a story that makes excellent reading. It’s classic Rushdie. That’s what makes it excellent. But it’s that excellency – that Rushdie ability to create-a-perfect-story – is what keeps it from perfection.an intact and well coarsed style of writing has given him the best of unexpected twists,stealing the aortic blood in the readers mind.And in my opinion it truly deserved the BOOKER of BOOKERS.:):)

BHARATANATYAM TO ME:)

With a substantial basement and polished framework of this great art form,at the outset i would like to examine the extent to which this historic and congruent dance form can reach a person's heart and how much a person is to be blessed enough to master it.i would like to travel on this blog explaining what it is actually and the pros and cons of being a bharatanatyam dancer with enough illustrations and citations from real and virtual experiences.

My heart slumps to see the extent to which this art form is getting diluted and losing its richest unique quality.contemporary and bharatanatiyam have a trenchant distinctions between the two,if i ''had'' to correct myself had a trenchant distinction,now that this is fading day by day,when asked about this,to a famous dancer in Chennai,all that she replied was ,"she plumes herself that adaptability to the modern audience", is the only way to win a place in the long tyring journey of young and talented,sprouting dancers.i am not against the improvisations that people carry on,but expect them not to ruin the rich tradition of standardised performances.It has become more or less a money oriented venture.Parents do have an equal role in this overdrew lines of money and fame.ARANGETRAM is a performance by a child who has been into the essence of art form and show casing her talent with skills including poise,emotions and a vibrant,yet controlled stamina.parents feel its a question of prestige and want their children to execute and feel the exultation to the meaningless claps and unrealistic appraisals.though, on a brighter note,there are umpteen kids with short circuited mind stealing the show with perfection and derive great attributes from stalwarts.so,the question is why arangetram?when arangetram?arangetram is just an equivalent of a s.s.l.c exam.mind you no revaluations here,nor a paper pen issue where u can erase and come back efficiently.

The imperative statements made aren't baseless,the increasing Saba culture would substantiate my above mentioned statements.beyond all this,i would like to predicate the worthiness of honoured chief guests in these testing grounds.politicians,cricket stars and of course not to forget the artist from cinema industry occupy the ineptitude positions in the testing grounds.my spines sprout out in anger if this is what the art form deserves.this is a language of communication between the dancer and god.where in,if the dancer himself is not relishing the piece,what worth is it to move one's limbs and senses to the beautiful rhythm patterns and a tranquillizing music?the buck doesn't stop there.the next question how long u will learn dance?this art form is vast and endless,and it is not mere expression of divine feeling that one derives in execution,though majorly its a portrayal of feeling of bhakthi in the verses,it also involves creativity and picturesque and glorious geometry with a precise excellence in control and poise in the performance.Definitely one would not have anymore patience explaining the journey and the importance of the over all development of a child,and how dance is a major factor,which i have felt and experienced enormously with a peculiar aura every time even when it implies to an application in practical life sustenance .To add on,there are umpteen compositions which indicate the extent this art form has grown.depiction of poverty,terrorism,a lover's story of expectation,grief,a mom's love to her child,a travel to a destiny and many more,it is because of our refusal to withdraw from the rusted minds that this dance is just prayer to god!

After all this,the worst part of it is the problem of best style in this art form.it has almost turned out to be a communistic mayhem.the problem of dilution is still debatable.if people understand that this art form has its own uniqueness,definitely we can witness great developments that this art form has never seen before.its all in the minds of common man,the dignity and respect that this dance is given has made its colours fade,while a rock n roll or a bassy folk number has impressed the minds of trendy modern minds,i fail to understand why not this magnificent dance form?lastly.would like to mention i would be surprised if i can see men dancing like men.the misinterpretation of grace and the mannerism in public domain engrave the suttle and glory of male dencers.though the pathetic state of it is definitely on a better rise,the wave still travels deeper and deeper.if it is unveiled the doors are still open,or else it is more tougher to get it anytime hence forth and would twindle to much complex filaments.
