My response is on three planes.<br />1. I find it difficult to believe that "Mahabharata war was fought to liberate 8th vasu". Sounds like a preposterous price for liberation of any sorts. To me, Mahabharat symbolizes a transition in the Indian society, leading firmly to the concept of a 'nation'. One can argue about the deeper purpose of it all, but this justification of liberation of one person is too much for my sensibilities.<br />2. If that is the fate of Ashvatthama, good for him. That's all I can say.<br />3. What about Kasab? I have already expressed my opinion that according to the laws of the present times, there is no doubt that he ought to be sent to the gallows. But that does not answer my 'deeper level' query - isn't death that he was already prepared for? In fact, he was brainwashed to take part in the act on the pretext of attaining a seat in heaven. So won't hanging him grant his own wish?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04955245504822871562noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6164716751518315429.post-77066461131922531762011-01-20T01:08:02.749+05:302011-01-20T01:08:02.749+05:30What exactly is bizarre according to you?

So it was a boon whch was acting as a curse.<br />Ashwatthama is cursed to live for eternity with uncurable wounds becuase he tried to fail the very purpose of Vasu's liberation. But his curse is a boon as well, he is anointed to be next vayasa in the next mahayuga dwapar period. ( he did bad things but by repenting and sever penance he earned good karma as well, good karma and bad karma gives you separate fruits) After the passage of 43 more mahayugas, the next manvantar will start at that time his penance will be good enough to find place among seven greatest rishis. But he has to live on till the end of another 6 manvantara. before everything is destyoed along with him.<br /><br />mahabharat stories are intermingled and have much deeper meanings, not hanging kasab is not the message from mahabharat. Killing of a terrorist is a absolute must, govenment spending carors of rupees for these terrorist is ridiculous. If all the terroist want to die why JUD chief want pak govenment to defend him in US court?Nilam-the-chimphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14435669951067425058noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6164716751518315429.post-56358418046184421352010-12-08T11:38:30.606+05:302010-12-08T11:38:30.606+05:30V.Shantaram, truly a legend of Indian Cinema.

Consider this case - a girl who secured 83% in XIIth board exams and then chose to pursue classical dance in a reputed institute. Even the interview panel from the inst were surprised, to the extent that they actually asked her, "you have got such good marks, you can actually get admission anywhere. Are you sure you want to do this?"<br /><br />@ SA - Thanks. Your thoughtful comment covers the point even better than my original post. Media coverage is an entirely different point and I have got tired talking about them. "How did you feel" is an inane question that they can ask anyone. From a medal winner to a earthquake survivor. If media people don't understand sports, that's actually OK. They are not supposed to. But they can at least invite people who understand it on a panel discussion. Even that is done rarely. That happens because people like Barkha Dutt consider themselves experts on everything under the sun.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04955245504822871562noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6164716751518315429.post-12075441853646041722010-10-16T13:13:39.542+05:302010-10-16T13:13:39.542+05:30You are to the point.

It requires a holistic approach towards sports.P T Usha just missed her Bronz, but it did not create any thing else than sympathy for her & that too just for a while. We don't burn from with in, that we just missed a medal. <br />The media also plays a very important role in the awareness. I saw the games in bits & pieces. I was just watching a few interviews of the athletes who won medals.... One of the question that irritates me is "how did you feel after wining the medal?" Hahahaha what a question. No one talked about how do they prepare themselves, what sacrifices they have to make & the infrastructure available to them for competing against best in the world.<br />The girl who lost the 800 mt race was so much being appreciated for leading the race for 600 mt... to me that was the worst planned & run race. But I don't know if those people in the media understand the sport at all. <br />Look at the pre-CWG media coverage. They had all the time to discuss CWG Scam (I am not saying that was wrong) but no one ever turned to athletes even once to go & check their preparations & that is the reason many of us were surprised with a few medals that came in.<br />Yes, in a country like ours, academics play a important role & specially for the lower middle class & below. There are a few middle class & Higher middle class families who are encouraging their children to take up sports actively. Till the time the one is not able to earn his/her living through sports, we cant only expect miracles & exceptions. <br />Look at cricket, they have some substantial amount coming in to them even if they are playing for their state.<br />So its not only government, the sports bodies will also have to take this initiative. they will have to realise that they can make a difference.SAnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6164716751518315429.post-56013789641230242022010-10-15T09:45:46.032+05:302010-10-15T09:45:46.032+05:30Most important of all, it requires a culture that ...Most important of all, it requires a culture that promotes and gives due emphasis for sporting activities, right from school level.<br /><br />How many parents prevent their wards from taking part in sporting activities because it <i>might</i> affect their studies?<br /><br />A person with good marks/grades but no sporting habit is considered better than one with average grades, but great sport skills.<br /><br />So, changing attitudes is the key to promote sports.Vinayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00001179092240729416noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6164716751518315429.post-3424984651228105472010-10-14T23:52:45.425+05:302010-10-14T23:52:45.425+05:30hey your blog design is very nice, neat and fresh ...hey your blog design is very nice, neat and fresh and with updated content, make people feel peace and I always like browsing your site.<br /><br />- JoeAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6164716751518315429.post-55347520726916575772010-09-06T19:03:03.393+05:302010-09-06T19:03:03.393+05:30@ Abha Joshi - Of course, I have no argument about...@ Abha Joshi - Of course, I have no argument about net being a great source of information.
