It so happens to happen so... The new "intellectual" political party well known for blowing whistle at the corruption and lawlessness of the stereotyped political parties and their "neta"s is given "whistle" as its election symbol for its candidates contesting in the by-elections. It is not yet all surprising that the leader of the party Dr. Jaya Prakash Narayan has chosen to do his campaign through ads in the electronic media. I hope that he will succeed in his efforts to bring the very-much-needed change in the system of elections and state politics.

ఇందులేడు అందుకలడని సందేహము వలదు - ఎందెందు వెతికినా అందందే కలడు.
ఈ డైలాగ్ చూసి చూడగానే మన అందరికి భక్త ప్రహ్లాద సినిమా గుర్తుకొస్తుంది. అంత పాపులర్ డైలాగ్ అది. అందులో శ్రీమహావిష్ణువు ఉగ్రనరసింహ రూపుడై హిరణ్యకశపుడు చూపిన స్థంభంను చీల్చుకుని బయటకు వస్తాడు. ఆ తరువాత హిరణ్యకశపున్నిఎలా సంహరించింది మనందరికీ కళ్ళ ముందు సీన్ బై సీన్ రీల్ తిరిగినట్టు గుర్తే. ఇక అసలు విషయానికి వస్తే, అంత పాపులర్ డైలాగ్ని ఏదో ఒక సీన్ తో టై చేసి గుర్తుపెట్టుకోవడం ఆ డైలాగ్ కి అన్యాయం చేసినట్టే.
"ఇందులేడు అందుకలడని సందేహము వలదు - ఎందెందు వెతికినా అందందే కలడు". దైవత్వం నిండిన ఈ నేచుర్ ని అబ్యూస్ చేస్తూ మనం దేవున్ని వెతుక్కుంటు పెద్ద పెద్ద గుళ్ళకి వెళ్తున్నాము. ఇంటి చుట్టూ వున్న చెట్ట్లని నరికి ఏ సీ కొనుక్కుంటున్నాము. గ్రీన్ జోన్లని వెతికి పట్టుకుని మరీ డంప్ యార్డులుగా మార్చుతున్నాము. పారిశ్రామికాభివ్రుద్ది పేరుతో పంట పొలాలని లాక్కొని ప్రత్యేక ఆర్థిక మండల్లను పెట్టుకుంటున్నాము. మన ఇంట్లో అలంకరణకోసం జాతీయ జంతువు పులిని కూడా హాంఫట్ చేస్తున్నాం. వీటన్నిటికి మేముకాదు ప్రభుత్వముదీ బాద్యత అని మీరనొచ్చు. దానికి నేను "ప్రజలే ప్రభుత్వం" అని డైలాగ్ కొట్టను. ఒక ఎదురు ప్రశ్న వేస్తా - ఈ నేచుర్ ని కాపాడడానికి మనమేమిచేసాము? ప్రకృతిని కాపాడుకోండని దేవుడు చేసిన మందలింపే ఈ సునామి, కట్రినా, నర్గీస్ లేదా ఇంకేమైన ఉపద్రవాలు అని నా అభిప్రాయం.ఇదేమైనా న్యాయమా? అని దేవుడు మనల్ని అడగకముందే మనం బాద్యత కల మనుషులుగా, ఈ భూమిపైన తెలివైన కరుణగల జీవులుగా ప్రవర్తించుదాం. మనకీ, రేపటి తరాలకీ సుఖప్రదమైన లోకాన్ని అందిద్దాం.
Deja Vu
Have you ever wondered that you are being watched?
Have you ever felt that there is someone taking logs of each activity you do?
Have you ever had that insecure feeling when you looked for content that someone big in authority is peeking at your regular surfing/shopping habbits, personal preferences etc.?
Hey... I am not repeating the dialogues from The Matrix. I am asking you these questions. Because, if you felt so... if your answer to the above questions is YES with a big nod of your head, then you are not the only one to say so...
You used your plastic money to buy a favorite pizza dish, a regular brand of innerware or even your diet control pills and wondered about the co-incidence of finding ads in your monthly bill slip about another pizza restaurant opening in the neighoring street with exciting offers, or upto 70% off sales in a clothing store exclusively of your favorite brand or even more about a new weight management offered by a chinese spa expert with a free trail period? Well I should tell you these are no co-incidences. Even the simplest of daily news letters you receive from these online magazines include topics about items you had recently searched for on the Net. News pertaining to your car remodeling, favorite accessories that look and match your taste, news on free prints with exclusive on-the-net coupon you received just when you uploaded photos of your Singapore trip... all these does not qualify for being mere co-incidents.
My dear friends, as the technology evolves, the things considered personal are now public. Things that were once respected as privacy are invaded. So, be careful when you are giving out your personal information. Be it as simple as a Full Name or as big as a Credit Card number. We may end up in the little embarrassing situation as our dear friend below. Have fun.
