Lalbagh Mango Festival

There is a mango festival in Lalbagh. Its a welcome exhibition. We got to see a variety of mangoes. But the vendors could have passed on some price discount to the visitors. Also, some explicitly declared "carbide free". Does that mean other mangoes are ripened through carbide and other artificial way?  Except for the shop banners, most of the places were in Kannada. The welcome arch, the mangoes title board in the glass house were in Kannada. The organizers should not think that only Kannadas will visit the show. There are visitors from other states and other countries. Overall, I felt the 'grandness' was missing, while the intent of the show is really appreciable.

Beliefts and Convictions

I learnt something today differences between Beliefs and Convictions. Simply put,



"The poor needs to be helped" - This is a belief.

Helping the poor even when you dont have money, devoting time and effort to help them, in big and small ways - This is conviction. 



"Bangalore needs to improve" - Everybody in Bangalore (and those who left) also has this.

Getting on the field and working to improve the infrastructure big and small is

வலியின் வலிமை

பணத்தால் முடியாத சில பண்பலைகள் 

தொழிலையும்  தாண்டி  சில  கடமைகள்

இவ்விடத்தைத்  காட்டிலும்  சில  புகலிடங்கள்

கணினி  அல்லாத   சில  அற்புதங்கள்

அவளையும்  மீறிய  சில  உறவுகள் 

கடல் பரப்பாய்  கண்  முன்  விரிந்தன

அடுத்தடுத்து  வந்த  சில  துயரங்களால்!
