Jungle jungle pata chala hai...

Whenever you see the number "100" you are instantly able to connect it to the "POLICE" help line.Today in the same way you are able to relate the number "1411" to the total strength of "TIGERS" in India.

The project "Save the Tiger" has defiantly become the most talk-able "talk show" and "brand" "tag lines" in the country. We find it quickly becoming an "add-on" to the already choking "wealth lines" of our starry cricketers and other reigning "Stars" of the film fraternity. Further it is also helping us in moving away from 'underscoring' the plight of a social animal called "Common man". Incidentally it also 'emotes' well through beautiful "visual & sound", the plight of a two months old "Tiger-Pub" waiting for the 'mother tiger' to return 'home', as we take the 'sound' of the "gun shot" from this 'visual' into our 'mind'..only to wake up the next morning with yet another "Audacity of HOPE" for a livable 'tomorrow'.

By the way the project "Save the tiger" does not seem to mention at all, how a 'common man' can help in saving the "tiger", besides writing a "Cheque". Does it mean this is another "glorified project" to rope in "money" & "media bytes".

I am a die hard addict of Kipling's "Jungle books". I just heard that "TIGERS" are still being shot and killed for 'trade', 'princely pleasures' and 'sports'. The count of the "TIGERS" today remains much, much less than "1411".."Ask "Mowgli" he will tell you "yeh"..."Jungle jungle baat chali hai"..........

Bala Sir You are right. In Himaliyan forest too we need a good program to save them. I know the people still kill them just for fun. I was listening to Envir minister yesterday that count is even less than quoted. I am really surprised who has counted them :-). I think the count should be more.

CLARITY IN CHAOS

The Bhagavad Gita is a living scripture universally relevant today as it was 5000 years ago in the battlefield of Kurukshetra. It is a divine conversation that took place in the battlefield of Kurukshetra between two best friends, Lord Krishna the Charioteer and Arjuna the warrior. 'Bhagavad Gita' is an integral part of of Indian mythology I have always believed mythology is not for everyone including me. So when my friend, the author of the book "Understanding Bhagavad Gita", gave me a copy to review , I was not very comfortable. I like 'Arjuna' started looking for excuses . However one day not very soon , "The Recipe For A Better Life " the part of the title hooked me into reading it The author has covered the essence of 'Gita' inside the 160 pages, through eighteen Chapters. Every chapter has an "Introduction", a "Summary" and a "Reflection" The simplicity of his writing gives...

In conversation with Bapu....

With 'Sare Jahan Se Achcha' and 'Abide with Me'the Soul-stirring martial tunes and solemn drum beats at the majestic Raisina Hills the "Beating the Retreat" ceremony marked the conclusion of the week long ceremonial functions of India celebrating her 62nd year of Republic.As the illumination lit up the edifices of Imperial India..my thought reached out to that day into the history of independence that finally dropped the curtain on a life called "Gandhi"...the man whose experiment with truth may not have jelled with today but his name has truly become the brand that remain most misused & manipulated both in trade & politics.As I key-in these lines I can read out the conversation that would have transpired between the "soul of Nation" (SON) and "Mahatma Gandhi"(Bapu)....Read on what I read..... SON: Bapu it's me,are you sleeping....? BAPU: How can you ask that...don't you know this day in the year 1948..I was gu...
