Sun rises in the Land of temples

The recent election campaign in Tamilnadu by all major political parties was contempt to the Indian Democracy. The people of Tamilnadu were lured into false promises everyday.

One might disagree with me for saying false promise – but I love to disbelieve that landless people will get two acres of land; Color TV’s and gas Stoves. The poor peasant has no power at his home – will the so called champion of the poor give Powerless televisions. He has no money to buy kerosene – will the leader give gasless – cooking stoves. The whole manifesto of DMK was a joke which the poor peasant failed to understand. I saw a headline in one of the local daily – “The sun rises in Tamilnadu” – Yes for the business mafia and the rich.

On other had was a Dictator and an individualist chief minister who did things to her will. Who dared to dismiss two lakh striking employees in a democratic country.
The conceited CM never stepped out of her chauffeur driven AC car in five years of her tenure. Punished all those who opposed her – be it her own party men – government official – opposition parties. This was the only state in south India where there was no democracy inside the assembly.
So the common man of the state had no choice than to select between a dictator and a Business don

Satisfaction

Am I really satisfied…I’ve rarely come across anyone who would say a humble yes…I use to often question myself and others on why we are never satisfied? The answers have actually been gnawing my insides forcing me to think why we need to go a long way before we are cleansed. From relationships to materialistic needs we always yearn for more…has any one else wondered why?Well a few days back a friend of mine told me that satisfaction does not happen that easily cause its beyond humans to achieve a sense of limit and therefore they cannot draw a line between how much they really need and how much they keep wanting. That’s one theory…There’s another one that I have…I feel the very existence of this level in our lives is significant. How else will u justify our ever increasing demands? I feel that satisfaction is the key to our growth. Its because of this drive that we keep aiming for more, set new goals in life, want to do better, prove ourselves… imagine a life without ambition. We would never live or grow…we would be stagnated and according to me stagnation is death.Therefore we should only abide by this so as to help us reach our destination which is not known by us but we want to be there soon.So the next time your not entirely satisfied just think that your probably already on the outskirts of your destination and a little more perfection and u will get there.
