Three Cheers to Lok Paritran

THis is an article by prabhu karthik(http://expertdabbler.blogspot.com/)

When myself and my friend and colleague Karthik Shankaran decided to go for a walk in Elliots beach on saturday evening, never did we imagine that we would be campaigning for a political party from the next day. But that was precisely what we ended up doing. That saturday evening, we came face to face with Santhanagopalan Vasudev, one of Lok Paritran’s founder members and one who is contesting this assembly elections from Mylapore constituency and Mr. Srikanth, a Bangalore based legal adviser to the party. We got to read Santhanagopalan’s election manifesto leaflets and this was so different from the ‘free everything except wife and children’ offered by other political bigwigs. For the first time, somebody was talking about quality healthcare to those living below poverty line through group insurance schemes. We just got curious and wanted to talk to him about his expectations in this elections and his long term ideas for Tamil Nadu and this country vis-à-vis Lok Paritran. Santhanagopalan had a few visitors (while he was canvassing in the beach) and so Srikanth came forward to answer our queries. The following are some of the points emerged.
The party is expremely positive about its prospects in Mylapore, T Nagar and Mudugulathur(Ramnad District). And this was well beyond their wildest expectations when they decided to contest in this elections sometime back.
This is not a group which would pack its bags and return back to the United States after this election. They are well aware of the hardships involved in starting a political party and contesting elections. If they just wante to flirt with politics, they would've rather contested as independent candidates
They are eyeing the Gujarat elections in 2007 and the Delhi assembly polls in 2008. This TN election is to gain visibility and acceptance among the electorate by virtue of their policies.
They are very clear and prepared on what to expect and the obstacles they may have to face from other well established political parties.
They realize that they may not have solutions to all the problems faced by the people but are determined to find out the solutions and are keen to implement them sincerely.Srikanth, when questioned about how he encounters people who have doubts about their long term plans has this to say, "Sure when we go for donations, there are people who say 'How do i know you will be around?' and i always respond, 'Fine, i will come to you after the elections'. Srikanth requested us to take up some volunteer work. Since the following day was a Sunday, myself and Karthik decided to do some door-to-door campaigning. We were asked to come to Besant Nagar terminus at around 10:15 in the morning. I was really curious to find out the kind of volunteers who would accompany us.

(A bunch of Lok Paritran workers)But the kind of people who turned up made me feel optimistic about India’s prospects. Now it’s not often that you find software engineers working for a political party for free not to mention young college girls involved in door-to-door campaign in that soaring heat. We, along with our customary white Lok Paritran T-shirts, were the cynosure of all eyes.The group of yellow T Shirt clad folks who were doing election work for DMK were no match for our spirits and enthusiasm. There is a world of difference between a bunch of crowd who do it for money and people who do it for a cause.There was about 12 of us at the beginning. We’d splitted into 2 of six each. We started with CPWD quarters and covered areas like BENCO Colony etc in about an hour and half. We knocked in almost each and every door in those two areas.The response varied from mildly amused to overwhelmingly positive. Many of them had read about Lok Paritran (thanks to Sudhish)One maami countered me like this“Yaaru indha IIT pasanga ellam arambichurukele, andha katchiya?”Me, thinking she would appreciate us, nodded eagerly “Ama maami”“Ungalukku ellam vera velaye illaya?”Now, I did not expect this question. Maami continued, “Padikara vayasile padikama, ipdi suthindu irundha enna artham?Unga appa amma ellam onnum solla maataala?”“Ellam padichu mudichavaa dhaan maami!”Maami did not let me continue“Nee enna panrey ?”“Naan software la irukken”“Katchi arambichurukaale? Ava ellam”“Ellam padichuttu america ellam poittu, thirumba vandhirukka maami”Now, Maami was relieved.“App seri. Naan neenga ellam padikumbodhey idhellam pan relo nu nenachen”Ahaa!.There were quite a few instances where people visibly let out their frustrations with the two main parties who have been ruling and ruining Tamil Nadu for the past 30 years.“Koncham munadiye arambichuruka koodadha pa?” was another common refrain from the voters.Another encounter I will remember was one former Vice-chancellor of some university who has written a leaflet about whom to vote for. He handed me that as soon as I handed Lok Paritran’s leaflet. All in all, I would say, a very interesting experience. Karthik was much more active than me, in that I had to return home that noon to meet another friend and fellow blogger who also happens to be a close friend of my once close friend :D(I’ll give the link after I get his permission:D)Santhanam has visited some slums around Mylapore and the response, I hear, has been overwhelmingly positive.The message is loud and clear. Lok Partitran is here with some seriously good intentions and a beginning has been made in Tamil Nadu. If they continue and if we encourage them and support them, Tamil Nadu and India can look up for some visible change for the better in 10-15 years time. It is in our hands as much as it is in Lok Paritran’s. I belong to Tambaram constituency, where Lok Paritran does not contest. Here I am planning to cast my vote on “Murasu” next Monday. This is not because I am a great fan of Vijaykanth. But I am tired of seeing these two principal parties who have ruined Tamil nadu for the past 30 years. I don’t have the patience to put up with this bunch of jokers anymore.IMPORTANTIn another note, Lok Paritran is looking for volunteers. They have plans to take up a small rally in two-wheelers in and around some parts of Chennai where it will not be feasible to go door-to door campaigning. Folks, who are in Chennai and who can come along in their bikes can please contact Karthik at 98405 25103 right away.

My best friends Poetry

I walked through the gates rusted
Trespassed by us most of the times
Saw the trees without leaves but still strong
There still lies the name lists in the stem
My heart pulsated to see the bench
The Bench of ultimate joy ness
Yes, It was there still same and with a novelty
I sat and floated there with my thoughts
And it embraced me with same affection
I can still feel the sweet smell of gayness
Every bit in the ambience
Reeking jubilation all over the place
When all was going in my mind
I saw a book and I took it
Perusing through the pages
I suddenly felt I am not alone
To see my people by my side
All were there, rejuvenated
With the same cups in their hand
Again those revelry celebrations
And envious eyes
Happiness in every bit of my nerve
Brain bedraggled slowly into the chimerical yore
Sitting alone I closed the book
I beseeched god
"Turn the pages to the past"
There came a blare of light
Showing the Torn pages
The Days are gone forever
But forever, the days will be there
In my thoughts and in my dreams
And as I got up
Saw another man looking the bench wistfully.

-ashok.k

Sometimes its real hard for me writing poetries…I was talking to some of my folks in office….and I just told them I need a good place to write poetries…..rather it means a good mind to write one…at the end of it its all in the mind right…..
So the work and place where I am is not a problem I guess……its just that my mind needs to be the way it would be if I am in a calm cool place…..

Anyway I badly want to go for a trek or a vacation soon…..i don’t think I can do that this week with the kind of work I have at the domestic front….
May be the month end……
I think this time I am not gonna wait for any of my friends…..if they join me fine …..other wise I am on my own…..
Sometimes we become too dependant on our friends to enjoy and feel you cant exist without there company in a new place…..and I am gona break it this time….

Roaler Coaster Ride

I was just wondering what my life is all about…..Its just a Roller coaster ride…..probably every ones is….but I am able to exactly experience it ….. I have gone through a major bad patch in my life…..and I am sure now I am on the going up phase again….
Some relationships that has gone…..some new….Some gone better….Some went from bad to worse….
Some friends to add….Some friends to kill….
Things are better seen as “ its all for good”….. I see that way as well….. any other way I would be a real bad pessimist……
Sometimes when I was so down…. I Had all the opportunity to make some decisions which wouldn’t have been all that pleasant…..things like …. “I shouldn’t trust any one”…. “People are bad”……. “No relationship last for ever”…….Thank god I didn’t do that……
I promise you it was not all that difficult to get into that conditioning…….it would have been soothing to my ego as well than to take responsibility for what had happened…..
But it gives a tremendous satisfaction to know that I still the same person without new stories attached in my mind after the traumatic period of my life time…..
:-)……..
Now the Roller Coaster is moving up…….its good to know that It will anyway come down again…..so that you don’t take it as a shock or surprise when it comes down…….And when it comes down…..it goes UP as well…..for all those who think life isnt all that good.......this is what one of my friends say...THERE IS ONLY ONE WAY WHEN THINGS HIT THE ROCK BOTTOM!!!!! UP!!

Strict and Stupid

Its been really tough all these days ....really hectic.....So have not been blogging.....
The last week went fine though when it comes to the work front....lately i have been hearing whats happening in Sathyabama college of engineering.....Students revolting because the college doesnt ahve AICTE recognition.....well this is something to fight ....but it would have been apt if the students and the college got there hands together to fight together ......but then why this.....
First ...Student and the management were never on one side.....the college which actually boasts of great discipline is dead .....
I have had a lot of friends who were from that college.....Never were they happy.....when you are a slave....you dont enjoy doing the thing you would love to do as well.....
I never get the idea of instilling discipline through threatening ......I also know a school named prince matriculation....same story.....
worse....parents are so happy putting there wards there.....I remember one of my neighbours was so proud that the school was very strict....
I tell you what.....The idea of being threatened actually instills and makes the human mind wait for an oppertunity to explode in all bad ways....if you see students who are all notorious in school would have that kind of stuff in there homes....their parents might be doing that......and otherwise if the institution is so bad you can see the children act strange at home.....
There is also a college in sivakasi named Mepco ....they also kind of terrorise the students there.....Infact there college slogan goes by " Disipline makes the nation great "......
What is so great being disciplined when you know you are treated like a group of goats ......
Discipline evolving from the space of freedom makes the nation great......
Any form of supppression leads to a revolt always ....and it never works in the long term.....
All these institutions just use this as a publicity to get more crowd and do a good buissness.....becasue some where each and every parent is afraid that there children might go bad giving the freedom he really requires.....but then....nobady knows he/she can anyway do all the bad things which they imagine irrespective of this suppression and infact more without freedom....
I would rather be happy if my son or daughter is comfortable telling me his/her activity than not ...so that i atleast can do something about it than not......
Lets get out of this concept of being strict and stupid ......

Wonder Years

2006-02-22T06:08:00.000-08:00

Today yet another day in my life......I always thank god for giving me some wonderful people around me.The real test to know your friends relatives around you is the time when you are truly down and out especially when it comes to finance.....

Now i am kind of out of all ruts in my life and it has gives me tremendous pleasure in knowing that i have some fabulous people around me.....

First my parents .....i dont know if somebody would have a father and a mother like what i have.....I would just live my life for them....I have never ever expected them to back me so much and make me feel that they are there for me come what may.

Next My Sister.....She is such special person.....Its really nice to motivate and cheer and encourage people when they are doing well..easy to have pride in what they do......What makes somebody a great, a leader is when they do all that when somebody is down and out and she is one......She is a tremenous person not just for this but for a lot of other things and she is one person who loves me a lot, trusts me irrespective of how i am at a given point in time.....

Next Mathi....I wouldnt have troubled any one in the last 6 months the way i had troubled him.....but for him anyone would have ran offf. I have a lot of great friends.....but he made a difference in the last 6 months.....

Though i may not mention a few people here doenst mean that they are not in the list of people who i love ...its just that these people made the difference when it mattered.....

And i have also got to know about some people who i cannot count on......its okay if you arent supportive but it takes special talents to stamp you when you have already fallen
:-) ......Good thing there as well .....i know them now...

but i tell you what, one person like my mom dad sis or mathi is enuf for a person to make your life worth living .......
and i have a hand FULL:-)

The Greatest Indian Criket Team Fan

Every one in india loves cricket.....some say no and dislike it to stay different.....they also cant resist getting on with a crowd when an India Pakistan match is going on.
Bottom line every one loves cricket in india.But there are some extreme cases....Everybody would have somebody in there circle who is more than crazy about cricket and that too the Indian team.
And i am gona write about such a kind of a guy who has been living breathing and doing everything cricket all through out his life.
I dont want to name him .....not that i am afraid of him i am sure the moment he reads it he would know i am writing about him.....
We all love him and he is such a wonderful guy and also the fact that he is such a fanatic of cricket makes you love him more.
You should see the way he paints his face with the tri colour and wears the sachin NO 10 T shirt sits with 4 and 6 placards not in the statdium but before the TV says it all......
Irrespective of how ever the ball is bowled if its an LBW and sachin is out ....then its a wrong decision.
Creating a blog site exclusively for Indian Cricket and supporting the team at any cost......
Never touches food when India plays since his childhood because India won a match when did not eat.
HE drinks Pepsi if they sponsor the tournament and COKE if they do.
He was the only person who said sachin should be allowed to bring the ferrari in without the Excise duty.
He is so obesessed to the extent of saying that Sachin Tendulkar should be given Barath Rathna.:-O

Last but not the least.
He feels so proud to be an Indian just because sachin is also an indian.

Was just wondering today thats its been 5 years since finishing college....Getting aged....Still have a feeling though that i stay in college.Especiallay if am around my collage mates we still carry on with our usual collage pranks,college stories.
Some time i really thank god that the college was just 4 years.If it had been for 5 years would have gotten into lot more bad habits lot more fights i guess.......and sometimes i really hate the idea that i am out of college and need to be more responsible towards life and the license to be carefree is gone.
But the real pleasure is to get back to those things once in a while and what provides that is our friends marriages......
I think when you are 25 till you go 29 is the time you would be having the most number of marriages attended .....cause thats the time when all your friends get married......
and during the marriages all your tags as professional....buissnessman flies off.....and you are back to your collage days with all your friends......
Last week was one such occasion."Arun weds Madhubala".That was a real damn happy thing to happen in their life.So were all of us.To put the long story short Arun fell in love with her when he was 17 and went on loving her till she said okay when they were 24 and now they are together.....since we were all with him all along it was really a nice thing to happen.
Most of our fellow mates were there and our usual pranks strated.....And as usual when the funtion was over everybod ywere sad that we need to go and get on with our duties.....Ofcourse exept Arun and madhu.....They had better things afterwards.....
The one before that was suppini's .....was real close to me and my room mate for most of my collage days.....Me and mathi had a ball there.....mathi was in his usual best and as usual gunds was the target and we ripped him apart.....Ofcourse ashok has become a pakka gentleman since he returned from US.When we were in college it wasnt the case though......
Just hoping for the next marriage to take place soon.....

2006-02-20T03:46:00.000-08:00

I have started this at a time when everything in my life is starting all over again.Things are taking a new turn ......Everything starts afresh.All new goals ...All new dreams....sometimes its real tough to start all over again.But its just the start thats gona take long and be difficult ..Once its done the momentum carries it forward.
Lot of cleaning up need to be done....The PAST....Lot to unlearn....lot to let go.....
Though its been tough and was a total selfishness thats been driving me for the past 6 months .....I have come in terms with life.....Its real damn tough to accept reality and move forward....When you know that the context that was driving you all along ....the dreams defined ,created by you based on a few things and people around you just dont be there ....it really takes some effort to take you forward and recreate new world all over again.....I am in the process.
Here I go ...........................
