India and it's national language

Does India need a National language? or does it have one?

Energy Conservation Committee

The Crisis has some(or many?) pros on general society, besides the bad-bad effects on inter dependent economies worldwide. Anyway, not everything with that interests me, what interests me is an internal crisis of a Premier Indian Educational Institute - International Institute of Information Technology, Hyderabad.

Howto bring about an awareness in a Dumb Ass Citizen!

This post has been in my mind since a friend of mine spoke about few embarassing situations in hostels and mess when she tried to convey few general, common sensical awareness things, which people are finding too difficult to pay heed to. Had been delayed long enough! Now, here we go, with a new and entirely bizzare solution to the problem!

లోక్ సత్తాకి ఓటేసి రాష్టాన్ని గెలిపించండి!

ఎక్కడబడితే అక్కడ అడ్డంగా దోచుకుతినే ప్రభుత్వాలు వెలుస్తున్న ఈ రోజుల్లో తన నిజాయితీతో, సేవలతో మంచి IAS ఆఫీసర్ గా ప్రజల మన్ననలందుకున్న జేపీ(జయ ప్రకాశ్) గారు ప్రజల నాయకుడిగా ముందుకు రావడం రాష్ట్ర ప్రజల అ

The Felicity Kurta!

Just found few people's status messages with a propaganda to spread this word, thought I could help them a bit with this, that's with The Felicity Kurta.

AID - the unusuals!

Whining is not their way
Roaring is! They say
It dint take them *experience*
Just sane common-sense!

ఆధునిక తెలుగు - కొత్త పదాల ఆవశ్యకత

ఇక్కడ చెప్పినట్టు ఇంగ్లీషు అంతగా వృద్ది చెందడానికి ముఖ్య కారణం కాలంలో వచ్చే వివిధ మార్పులతో పుట్టుకొచ్చే అవసరాలకి ఆ భాషలో తగి

Student Voters

Note for IIITians:This is a copy-paste from my mail to students. So, skip it if you already have read it.

I don't think one needs to remind the importance of vote, and the difference it makes when cast responsibly by every sensible citizen of a country with nearly half it's population termed as youth.

To make it easier for students studying away from home, A.P Govt has taken a nice step. According to this, the college will be handed the responsibility(I guess voluntary) of availing the application forms and student study certificates which are needed, to register for vote as a student.

Deepavali!

Update : There is a nice proposal by Prateek here in the comments section. Those who are interested reply there and we'll make it a success!

Somewhere a faintest voice seems to be screaming something, amidst the already begun dhoom-dhaam celebrations of most vibrant festival of India, Deepavali! I sure love watching kids treading around holding as many sparklers as they could! I enjoy watching that vibrant hue in the sky! But it's when I hear that faintest voice in uttermost silence, that I start loosing the interest. You already knew what it says, I don't want to repeat that. Ofcourse, for me there are other reasons why I'm not an active part of traditional celebrations of this great festival(dust, especially smoke irritates me a lot; for my eyes, they mean as much as poison!). So people, here is what one could do without having to tamper with the celebrations.

Is India left with no options?

Now it's known to everyone.. Tibet and China issue. Briefly the issue can be summarised as follows. China thinks, Tibet has been a part of China since a long time and it adds that it will continue to be so. There would not have been much problem if Tibetians are seen as their own citizens or atleast friendly neighbourhood. But, Tibetians, with the kind of treatment offered by Chinese govt, are offended. They say that their culture and values are not at all given any importance. For example, pubs and nude dances are not a part of Tibetian monks. But they happen there, day in and day out.

ముసుగు!

నాకు తెలియక అడుగుతున్నా.. లౌక్యం అంటే? "గోడ మీద పిల్లి లా ఉండడం", "ఏం పట్టనట్టు తప్పించుకుపోవటం.".. ఇలాంటివి కాదు కదా? నాకు తెలిసిన వరకు లౌక్యం.. "సందర్భానుచితంగా, సమయస్పూర్తి తో మసులుకోవటం". ఇక్కడ సందర్భం అన్నది ప్రదేశాన్ని బట్టి, కాలాన్ని బట్టి మారుతుంటుంది. ఉదాహరణకి.. మహామంత్రి తిమ్మరుసు గారు ఆలోచించిన తీరు చాలా లౌక్యంగా ఉంటుంది.(తిమ్మరుసు గారెవరో తెలియకపోతే క్రిష్ణదేవరాయలవారు తెలిసినా దండగే.. :P ) కాని నా కళ్ళకి చాలా వింతలు కనిపించాయి(స్తున్నాయి).
