  • 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.

Time Marches On.



The terrorising of Mumbai is over.Politicians are discussing how to stop it recurring again.In every news channel debates are on about what, why and how such things occur.I read about a sane writing by M.J.Akbar.It did console me that sane persons are still around.

What is religion? It is faith postulated by society to enable man to follow some discipline.For discipline is a must for the social fabric.As long as this holding together of the social fabric is achieved what other purpose does religion serve? A crutch is just to hold and walk.Why so much violence because of it?I think mankind will come with some other bonding factor than religion to hold on to now.

I admire the little things people do to save another in times of crisis.I hope time will throw up something that does not hurt anyone.

To Ms. Jayamala

Yes, in today's atmosphere, the words are hardly written; it is rewritten; rewritten and then edited; and re-edited.

But still as the piece of a sandalwood keeps it aroma in tact, the writers words effects the targeted hearts.
