The Joy Of Eco Love And Living Your Dream Is More Widespread Than You Think.
The Channe4 show, Grand Designs,
in which TV presenter Kevin McCloud
follows some of Britain's most ambitious self-building projects, as intrepid
individuals attempt to design and construct the home of their dreams, is
exciting as the episodes depict how the almost impossible dreams of people
somehow materialise. But one always wondered if the price in terms of the
financial, physical and psychological struggle was worth it.
That was why when one of my close
friends and colleague told me a few years back that he and his wife too were
excited and serious about living their eco
friendly dream and were relocating to France
What Makes Even The Russians Go On A Pilgrimage To Sabarimala?
Though it is a gross exaggeration to call the recent
visit of twelve Russians to Sabarimala the ultimate
capitulation of Marxism Leninism to the Indian Mythology, the event has opened
a rare and unique
travel experience to people from all over the world who seeks exotic
adventure of a different kind.
If you are not a woman under menopausal age and if you are
willing to do a spiritual
penance for 41 days, abstain from eating meat and enjoying sex in your
thoughts and life, let your hair and beard grow uncut and lead a Spartan
existence, then you can venture in to this life changing trip to Sabarimala which
more than 50 million Indians of all religions already make every year!
For the team of Russians
from Moscow led by Induchoodan, who has made this trip more than fifteen
times and who practices Ayurveda, the ancient Indian system of medicine, this
unique pilgrimage to Sabarimala has probably come to mean what it does for
millions of Indians:

While it's Raining Cats and Dogs in Chennai, it's Time to Visit Chennai Margazhi
A raging cyclone is crossing the Indian peninsula causing
havoc and rain but that is no reason to miss a visit to the world’s only city
with a season dedicated to music and dance. The Margazhi
festival of Chennai
in southern India India
Margazhi is a month in the Indian Tamil calendar covering
December and January. But it is getting to be more associated with the unique
carnatic music and dance festival being held in the city of Chennai
The best thing about the Margazhi festival is
that each day is filled with many musical and dance events
in several venues till late night most of which are absolute free with no
tickets or entrance fees. The festival aims to promote talent and give an
opportunity for the artists to perform in public attracting both professional
and amateur practitioners of the arts from around the world.
If you are after a relaxing and fulfilling holiday, it is
indeed great fun to hop in and listen to some invigorating music in the mid
morning, spend some time on the beach or enjoy some really ethnic food, do some
browsing or shopping for exotic jewellery or clothing in the afternoon and then
return for more enjoyment of some exhilarating dance in the evening. You can do
all of these in any order you like for several days non-stop if you wish.
The festival is in fact an amazing panorama of true Indian
culture you can only remotely sense in the hype of “Incredible India”. The
artistic intensity of vocal Carnatic and Hindustani music, exotic instruments
and solo performances, and riveting dance performances by lone exponents and
groups will leave indelible tracks on your memories to take home, unlike a
normal holiday you will soon forget about.
What makes it even more interesting is the availability of
really ethnic food at many venues during the season, which is normally served
only in private homely functions,
thanks to the month of Margazhi, considered inauspicious for
marriages and other functions. For connoisseurs, this wonderful treat for the
palette is an added attraction of the festival pampering all of your senses.
If you seriously want a rejuvenating break and don’t know
how to get that well deserved tranquilising change away from your world, then
Margazhi in Chennai may be what you may be looking for.

Is The Death Of The Lokpal Good Riddance To Bad Rubbish In Indian Democracy?
At last everyone can take a sigh
of relief; democracy is safe, at least for now. The much debated Lokpal
Bill has been literally, in fact actually torn up in the Indian
Parliament! The Lokpal Bill was put
to sleep at midnight .
Despite all the flak she is
taking for her seemingly flip flop attitude to her coalition partnership of the
UPA government, Mamta
Banerjee, the maverick of Indian politics, must be credited with saving
democracy in India
