MyND Blog

I’m writing this post, inspired by a whatsapp argument I had with my bunch of friends. I wanted to pen my thoughts independent of an argument cause its easier to be carried away by the heat of the argument and one might misquote or misinterpret one’s understanding of a subject as grey as the Mahabharata. The main issue of contention was that the idea of Kauravas vs the Pandavas, and how the whole of Mahabharatha was biased towards glorifying the Pandavas. My friends also opined that Pandavas had no legal right over the throne of Kuru vamsha.  I would like to clarify that Pandavas never staked claim to the throne of Hastinapur, being valid and rightful Princes of the Kuru vamsha they sought rightful co-existence with the Kauravas. The only rightful character in the whole of Mahabharata after Shantanu who had all the qualities of a King but choose to forego the same over a promise he had made to his father and step-mother Bhishma was supposed to take care of both Dritharastra’s...

For a long time now I have kept away from politics in my blog...  Nobody reads it, nor does it convey anything.. We have been living under the notion that an Idea/Thought/philosophy is good only if it sells... I must not be outraged, if my identity is sold. If I’m scammed everyday.. my food prices cease to be under reach... Scams are no more new to us, we have had a legacy of such scams... we have been used to it. It’s just another news event that's it..  Well when most choose to ignore and carry on with their lives, a little curious citizen tries to know the scammed amount and the scamster, there ends his little duty towards the nation, or a few self claimed responsible citizens discuss it at office lobbies, coffee shops, family get-togethers, online forums and blogs.  Politics was a subject of choice for me to pick a conversation, talk ideologies, policies, acts, debates and most of the Election and the Pompous Campaigns. I just hate it out right...

Pyarge Aagbittaithe... A different way of saying, I’m in love.. Yes in indeed I’m in love, After a very long time I have truly liked a song from a mainstream Kannada movie. That too for so many elementary reasons like the lyrics, the rendition, voice of the female singer and music. The song from the Movie Govindaya Namaha, starring Komal as Hero and newcomer as Heroine, has forced me to take a refreshingly new view towards the Kannada movie. The song carries an unique richness and touch of class which all the while missing in our movies. The director takes us on a journey through Indian Cinemas, right from the setup of the classic B&Ws, the Eastman Color to the present Digital Colors, and makes a striking expression on How the essence of Love and grandeur is expressed in our songs. The music starts from the old Indian cinema music, with only the harmonium and a few other instruments like the tabla and shahanai, and gradually moves on to the digital beats, again not losing the tun...

It’s been a long break, and in the due course I have found out quite a few bits of truth about life and it’s dynamics, as I happened to search for things that make me happy., (things – in this context all definable and indefinable entity people, feelings, objects of pleasure and luxury, places etc., any conceivable thought). I might sound, maybe rude, narcissistic, as a person who thrives on material expanse, and as someone who likes to treat people in the similar manner, well I really wish I could be like that at least in that case I would keep myself happy if not others. So during this search – I have accepted some things, learnt from a few, refuted with some and also exploited some, all these have in their due capacities left an indelible mark that have molded my thought process extensively. Every time I have been involved with something I have sincerely tried to indulge myself into it, and soak myself up with every form of returns it offers and purpose and joy of my lif...

All that bothered me in the last few weeks of December of 2010, was that I had to post an article on this blog for the calendar year. But, eventually it ended up differently. I was troubled with the Why? questions, as if that was not enough I was troubled with the What? questions.. and to add to these I'm now caught with the Hows? and the Whens? Excuse me, if i'm bothering u with all these question marks, I'll try to add some clarity to those. Now let me address the Whys? I have always found this particular question the most fascinating, confusing and scaring of all the questions. This one as the power to Question anything, it just changes the very rationale and reason behind any thought. Now the why I had to confront was, Why am not able to pick a passion of my liking and not nurture it duly for whatever gratification it can offer; be it material,social, intellectual, professional or spiritual... I have not been able to reach these elusive aspects and I want...

The inconsistent or an out of place, I don’t know which would define my personality aptly, but I have been a misfit, for most of my life… yes each one of us do carry a strain of individuality, that makes life so special, but I carry or don’t carry some of it that puts me on a medium which is neither left, right nor center. I look back, every often these days to try and answer the 2 most dreaded interview questions, (at least in my case) “Tell us about Your Self” and “ Your Most Important Achievement”… an unanswered PAUSE becomes a CONTINUOUS reply… I have meticulously tried over a couple of months, to list down a set of achievements and also find an acceptable definition for a mostly redundant term called PRAMOD PAVULURI, and the answer is inconsistent and indefinite. I have been a perfect imperfection; I’m used to being either too ahead or too behind the life around me… I started blabbering small, imperfect words when I was 6 months old, pretty early start I’m to...

Mj aged 50 dies!!! The star who holds the greatest hits of music records, is no more. An era solely dominated by his musical acumen and dancing agility, comes to an end... One cannot stop admiring the genius of Michael Jackson's Music, but more than that I greatly adore his Humanitarian Concerns, and his ability to connect to people, which he tried to portray in most of his songs. He was a poor man who couldn't handle Success, and the turmoil that he had to endure by the selective media bias which was daunting on his frailty. He was a trendsetter, and broke many dimensions of Modern Music and Entertainment, both in terms of Singing and Choreography... He's inspired countless poor and disheartened souls to whom he very much related himself to. He was also the one who can be credited with creating a CHARITY FRENZY among the celebrities, as he himself had organized and participated in many such events. Sadly, he was demeaned of his worthy character. Some called him BAD , Some ...
