Mandate 2009-->Left is lost history

The mandate 2009 proved a fact,'India is different from Left'. With the Left voicing against nuclear deal, it forgot one thing, that the condition of voicing against America and gaining popularity was during Vietnam war times, that was 30 years past scenario. The single person who has really concealed the defeat is Mr. Prakash Karat, and it would be quite interesting to analyze how under his stewardship left has been reduced from 61 in 2004 to 24 in 2009.

First role of left came into notice when it started passing opposing comments on ruling UPA during inflation. At that time, people of India expected that being a part of government Left should co-operate with UPA to fight the situation rather than taking up to public and agitating the general masses by calling for bands and hadtals. It presented contradicting scenarios, on one hand it opposed the rise in petrol prices, but on other hand when other state governments were taking measures to cut through local prices of petrol, the states under left did not do anything in that direction.

Secondly, it rose to picture with vicirous opposition to Nuclear deal, Karat must realize that people of India well know Manmohan Singh and his foresight as compared to his. And to add on to misery it broke away from UPA sighting its dissatisfaction on the functioning of UPA. However UPA bounced back and saved the deal with America.

Thirdly, in desparate situation he started collecting and forming third front. He ran to Mayawati to Naidu who are not so popular leaders in national level. Although he formed the third front with view of providing alternative to people of India, he forgot to take the pill that 21st century India is different and willing to take risks. Even the leaders who provided him some support did not turn up in the first rally of third front.

Lastly Karat neglected his strong areas of West Bengal and Kerela. In kerela there was internal spat between left and in WB TMC and INC were growing like anything.

So, Left better luck next time. We know you have fought a hard and fair election. We are proud of you for being a part of Indian democratic procedure. What I can suggest is a little work on the ideologies. We must keep in mind that "To take a big leap forward, one has to move 2 steps backward" so jump left to right and be realistic that what people of India expect from you in next election.

Last night feeling at NIT...... A walk with my Archetype



Last night, I walked in my dream

To search for someone, who can add to my life some cream

But alas I met my Archetype

That looked so different, that it made me to scream


I looked at it with surprise

And nothing I could apprise
But as I started to walk away without compromise

It called me from behind "Dee, can you give a Part of your time slice?"

I again looked at it with surprise

As it spoke like me, with a flavor of computer science

It said this is me

To whom people call Dee

But my heart and soul could never agree

It walked with me from back post to front post,
Reminding me each and everything that I host
It really took a lot of courage

To look into its eyes
As I felt disgrace

In the end, It left me

Saying please forgive me
As It cannot go further with me
And waved his hand
saying BYE BYE Dee

Journey......



Many say life is a journey,
And the way you travel decides your honey,
But we neglect
The road on which we do our journey.

Many say success is journey,
And putting the first step is the key,
But we neglect
To decide the check points which indicate success of journey.

Many say hope is Sun
And Journey towards it cast the shadow of burden behind us
But we neglect
The pain of journey towards Sun.

Many say peace is journey
Of thousand miles and each step must be taken carefully
But we neglect
The path to peace is not so lovely.

Many say many about journey
And on completion of one journey, we wear travel shoes for another
But we neglect
The adventure and uncertainty of all Journeys will be different.



Whatever U give give to life, It comes back to you.
Do not hate anybody
The Hatred that comes out of you will someday comeback to you
Love others and love will come back to you.

Chef Dee's new Continental Chicken.....


I love cooking and when it comes down to chicken, I turn crazy and I am never afraid of trying out new recipes. I must admit that trying out experiments while cooking is a risky job, as it may lead to wastage of food , however risks are part and parcel of life.

The item i am going to share with you is one of the continental cuisine. I have tried this item last winter. This is a completely new item prepared by me and I take the guarantee of the taste. So go back home and try it out.

Continental Chicken:

Ingredients:
250 gm chicken boneless, if possible go for breast pieces and try to get a shape such as cube.
1/2 cup white wine (one can get it from a Bar)
2 tbsp butter
1 tsp oil
2 tbsp refined flour
1 cup chicken stock (to know what it is) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stock_(food)
salt to taste
1/4 tsp black pepper
1 cup sour cream
200 gm dried noodles
1 tbsp butter

Method:
Pierce the chicken pieces with a fork, on all sides and marinate in the wine.

Heat the butter and oil and add the chicken pieces over high heat, and turn around till well coated with the fat.
Add the flour and mix well over low heat, till slightly colored. Then add the chicken stock, bring to a boil and then simmer till chicken is cooked through.

Add the salt, pepper, and sour cream, simmer till heated through.

In the meantime, boil the noodles, drain and mix in the butter. Serve chicken over the cooked noodles.


Hope you will enjoy the dish.

The beauties of nature that we failed to realize.......

We sometimes think out of box and sometimes we think out of the world. But nature is such a wonderful creation of God, which we tend to ignore. Who ever is going through this post, must realize that if he had not experienced these beauties then he must try these out.

Do anyone has the experience of waking up early in the morning by the sweet whistle of cuckoo?
The nature has provided us with such a good alarm, but we have never used it.

Has anyone ever seen a flower bud opening up to glow in the morning hours?
The nature has provided with such a good luck sight straight forward, but we do not take advantage of it.

Has anyone ever walked on the grass in the early morning when there would be dew and has anyone ever used those drops in eyes?
Nature has provided with such a cooling mechanism and good natural eye drop but still we have never realized it.

Has anyone ever chased or tracked the ant line to their nest?
A lot of hard work is involved in this case but you would have a very good experience if you can do that.

In the scorching heat have you ever worked in the garden and then took shed under the tree?
I guarantee that if you do that in summer then you would surely go to the garden and would enjoy the first monsoon shower.

We are always impressed by beauty of flowers when they bloom on plants and take snaps of the plant loaded with flowers. But has anyone ever took snap of a plant in the night just before shedding the flowers?
The scene is quite beautiful, the plant would be full of old flowers and new buds.

And the list is vast and endless. The life style of a normal engineer do not allow to experience most of these beauties. But friends, a long vacation is coming up. If you have not experienced these beauties go back home and give a try. I use to spend a lot of time with nature before joining NIT, but after that I met with such beautiful creatures like you all created by nature that I ditched my old friends of nature and made some new one. But now I think time has come to return to old friends.........
