ON Gandhi - October Sky Gujarathi gentleman and the intellectual who changed the world

Image
Article i wrote on 1999 published above,when i was going through tough time in one of big messes/misses i did in my life-It's as immature as i write today.. I don’t believe in celebrating birthdays, as I’ve grown mature enough to know what I’ve done and how stupid and intelligent,limited the human life is at least for me. Self rejection is the way I am. Birthday is a mark of completion of orbit as time is always calculated based on the celestial bodies movements, to me birthday is significant to that extent only. Living is a pain for rational man if he doesn't work around ways to live to satisfy himself in a rational way.But again there is nothing wrong in celebrating for great personalities to commemorate and acknowledge and recognize their presence and work. We need to reinstate their thoughts to charge ourselves. Biography is a writers nature, as they write when they propel their personality and they bring lot of information about people as people who...

ON novel The catcher in the rye -Confessions of a innocent mind

Image
Ive a confession to make,i suffer from mania of the catcher in the Rye ever since i read.Its been narrowly 5years i believe to have read first and from then on i keep revisiting it once in a while when i feel down or up or nothing to do.I've heard its a banned book on conformity mania institutions and not accepted by all levels of society.I had the guts to come out on my mania, as am feeling it has also created some positive vibration.In fact richest man in the planet earth named his daughter Phoebe ,inspired from one of the character in the novel.Despite,the book is the favorite and major inspiration for the man who shot the Beatles lead singer.I don't have to give the plot or reception or some of the basic information as that's been already available by websites like Wikipedia and others.Reviews and trivia are also available,then what else to write.Will just joggle down whats in my thought right now.Why do i like the book is because its simple,spontaneous,not cheating...

ON Mathematician Srinivasa Ramnujan- The unrecognised lonely personal encounter with TRUTH--->3900 theorems and identities

Image
  His successor Stephen Hawking one of the greatest living Mathematician This is ON Tamilnadu Math wizz R (Dec22-1887 to Apr26-1920). Biography is the subject for people who always in need of ideal to take themselves up.In country like Britian literature,biographies and ideals sell well.Ideals arent bad thing until we compare ourself and let down or give up easy as we are feeling inferior as there is long distance between ourself and the ideals.People love rocky stories which are of rags to riches.There are number of biographies that are famous starting from Experiment with truth,autobiography of  an yogi.But R is a unsung hero who isnt received well in his times,whose life is full of pain and struggules.You just cant celebrate the biography than a mans works.Even though we always tend to believe the to get emotional high by branding like GENIUS.Genius always goes with eccentricity and controversy.I always tend to believe that brain is an...

ON Science Fiction writer Isaac Asimov- Why Asimov didnt write philosophy?(On my intellectual guru

Image
Science fact and fiction writer Isaac Asimov This is ON Isaac Asimov who lived during (Jan2(approximation)-1920 to Apr6-1992).The belief that more you learn the more you know.But the more we know the more we tend to forget,resulting in forgetting more then known before and loosing the work done ,where time been wasted.The point is that i have started writing with whatever i know instead of avoiding it by humility or with fear of not been acknowledged.As over the time i may forget all those things i was through or been with.As i have started writing now on things ive been with,down the line i will look back "this is what i did or followed,and this is how i understood or interpreted".One of those i was through is the science fiction brand name "Isaac Asimov".I have a liking for him due to 2 superstitious common sharing amongst us,one is that we share a common birthday and also we have the ability to remember the actual timeline of any event and person ...

ON Self Knowledge Philosopher Jiddu Krishnamurti - Why JK repeats?(On my spiritual guru

Image
This is ON JK who lived during -Jiddu Krishnamurti- May 12, 1895 – February 17, 1986 ).He is many's spiritual guru and had not sharing about him to anyone as there are certain beauties which we cant share and also philosophy is a dry subject,where people wont like it. He cannot be labelled as the guru, anybody don't have any particular person who is their guru all life. Life is our guru,not particular person.But to push yourself to life and make the starting ceremony with first lesson in a big book of life you need a guru. A guru is only a starting point. The guru cant find you as you have to. To dig on life we should not willing to be satisfied with superficial,comfortable,painful life which we may be hiding at. Many will get inside the learning zone only when wanting to penetrate life more then what it is ,and become desperate to know on why pain and how to overcome it.First time in life we will be bothered to dig life,strain  and win it INTELLECTUALLY.

ON Rajesh - Takes lot of courage to make a fool out of yourself or it takes lot of fool(ishness) to make courage out of yourself?

Image
I have been writing all the blasphemies and blah-blahs(am too cynical at times?,sometimes it is a barrier for me to emerge,sometimes a hit to carve the statue) all through this blog,there could be an irate audience(again,if any) who could be wondering who the hell is he or whats this guy all about.But if you are in not interested in the author,I humbly request you to skip this article and take a look at some of my article that suits you.Even-though i cant compress my life or express myself in the single article,let me try so that you can relate the author of this website and make a face out of it,if it really bothers.Guess I've worked(hard?) to deserve a article for myself. Let me confess and start from here succinctly(on contrary to the rule enforced upon me, "destroy evidence that which we failed"),I am a failure writer/actor (no publicized/credited/commercial benefit from blog. Apart from blog Ive unpublished and so unperceived works,resulting in no pay,haven...

ON Tamil Actor smiling lotus (Kamal Haasan) - The Tamil cinemaintellectual-When oscar?

Image
His real  name is Parthasarathy and known to be Mr.Kamal Hassan(Nov7-1954)-this is for him as he is going to complete his 50 years of cinema career by today(first movie release Aug12-1960).I am not sure a writers 50 years of publishing would be remembered,recognised and followed as much for an actor. Film acting is just a job like anything else,yet tamil speaking cinema audience have always adored and celebrated the tamil film actors emotionally and i am no different. His first movie as an child actor released today.Dropping out from school on eight grade(parallel had experience as theater actor),he struggled early as a dance assistant(he's indeed a trained bharatanatyam dancer) and with few supporting roles on malayalam and tamil cinema.Another famous actor Gemini Ganesan who could be fondly remembered as gentle man,introduced him to K.Balachander and helped to launch his new path in film acting career.His breakthrough came from the film director K.Balachander's movies(has ...
