  • News Item That touched Me ....There was one article in this month's Reader's Digest about Kamalbhai Parmar who is running a fabricating unit and who runsa school,rather a tution school for the poor students in Ahmedabad.It takes a large heart to start something like this.I do wish I can do something like that too.Atleast be able to teach in such effort .
  • Books That I am reading now.....I am reading "Under Orders" by Dick Francis.Just started.Seems to be about issues in racing sport.
  • News Items That Touched Me Today----The bicyc;e scores over train and car in a survey conducted for two wheeler travel ina congested metro like New York as the fastest transport..
  • Movies That I Liked.....I watched a Malayalam Movie called'Vastu Hara' in Kairali T.V.yesterday.The story touches about losers who migrate abandoning their personal properties during divison of countries and realtes to the creation of East Pakistan called East Bengal dividing Bengalis .Also running underneath the main issue is the personal loss of property which gets rejected by the Mother in the story who is offered the same back by her Husband's relatives.
  • Books That Are My Favorites----Somerset Maughm's short stories,Arthur Conan Doyle's 'sherlock Holm mysteries',All of Shakespearian dramas,The Bronte sister's writings,Poems by Mathew Arnold and Tagore's 'gitanjali'.This list is not exahaustive.

Musings On A Slap.


I was watching that match at home.Yes,you guessed right.The match where Mumbai Indians got beaten by King's xI.To say the least it is deplorable when sportsmen cannot restraint themselves.Of course I do agree that the expressions on the eyes,face of the player opposite to you might induce anger.But so long as a sportsman cannot take a defeat at its worth,he does not deserve to be called so.

What are the reasons for such bad behavior?Today in some channel SMS on such an issue"whether modern sports breed bad behavior'are invited.But I feel it is not modern sports but the fundamental mental make up of the human being that is at jeopardy here.Harbhajan perhaps got too much money,fame and the glorification of his being in 'TEAM INDIA'(WOW!!!!),he is allowed to get scot free with bad behavior.In fact I hold him in such low esteem that I feel after starting this topic here in my personal column,he does not deserve this attention too.

So that is that.

Jayamala.
