Ring a bell?

-

"We love our bread,
We love our butter,
But most of all,
We love each other." 

Did those lines ring a bell or stir a thought? If those didn’t try the next one:

I love you,
You love me,
We’re a happy family,
with a great big hug,
and a kiss from me to you,
Won’t you say you love,
me TOO!

Did this one clear the mind block? If you’re still clueless then you might have not been one of those kids who enjoyed seeing those cute cartoons like Madeline (former poem) or Barney and friends (The latter poem). Recently I took time to sit and see these shows. I felt rather silly but it was very engaging and fun. It was a trip down the memory lane.

Our generation has had the best of the entertainment. Let it be' Little red riding hood' or 'Snow white' we saw it through cartoons and cherished all of it. My favorite was 'Scooby Doo'. I never used to miss a show. That title sequence is something that ill never forget.

Scooby-Dooby-Doo, Where Are You?
We got some work to do now.
Scooby-Dooby-Doo, Where Are You?
We need some help from you now.

Come on Scooby-Doo, I see you... pretending you got a sliver
But you're not fooling me, cause I can see, the way you shake and shiver.

You know we got a mystery to solve,
So Scooby Doo be ready for your act. [Scooby Doo] Uh-uh Uh-uh
Don't hold back!
And Scooby Doo if you come through
you're going to have yourself a Scooby snack!
That's a fact!

Scooby-Dooby-Doo, here Are You.
You're ready and you're willing.
If we can count on you Scooby Doo,
I know you'll catch that villain.

I had utter fascination for the dog.  Cartoons then were so cute and lovable. Sadly thought nowadays the cartoons are about fighting and killing. Why bother kids with such things. Childhood is the only time in our life that we get to be care free and naive. That has been deprived from the life of children today. I don't want to name few cartoon not because I care for them but that I don't want to skip the other bad ones. All these cartons leave a mark on a child's head. If we want nice and upright individuals in the future then I think that we must divert little bit more attention towards what cartoons must be seen by our children. We cannot make the producers stop making bad cartoons. But we can indeed teach our child right from wrong.

Where shall I begin and where shall I end. I must  first thank Rajesh for suggesting this book. It was truly mind blowing. For those who have been in Vineeth Swaroop's class: "This book is like 132 page one on one discussion with VS himself about God and what not!" I have always been a fan of Scott Adams cartoon "Dilbert". This is Scott at his best. I do not know how to comment on this book for I feel belittled in front of it. I would suggest that all of you must read it. But it comes with a warning, do brush up on your knowledge in probability, astronomy, history and everything else. This book is no joy ride but take you into another state of consciousness. I am a person who is never felt short of words. There are two things that made me feel so this month: Questions by the one and only VS in accounts class and when i am currently trying to describe this book. One might wonder why on earth did I begin a book review when I am certainly out of words to descr...

Surya just stared at the display screen in Dubai airport.His flight was delayed by an hour.He mechanically stared at his Diesel watch.It showed 12 midnight.His flight inbound to Chennai was postponed from 1a.m. to 2a.m.Well he had nothing much to do other than to start reading his novel.He was a big fan of Robin Cook.Surya moved to gate 5 and found a calm place and sat down there with his book. He was just in his second page when he heard"Excuse me sir! are you going to Chennai?"Surya is by nature a nice person.But not at fist acquaintance you can't even get a smile form his lips till the third meeting.His physique contributed to that mystique feel.He was almost the perfect example for the phrase tall dark and handsome.He was not a beauty contest winner but in some way did have all the charms required to make any girl go gaga.Surya just nodded as a reply to the man who asked the question.Ramu was the man who asked it to him.He was a married man.He was around 35 years of a...

God a concept?

I have often pondered about my conversion for atheist to a fairly strong theist. I remember that not so long ago my thoughts on God had proclivity towards atheism. But there has slowly but surely a change. From a person who used to say "There is no God!" to a person who says "God is ubiquitous!" is quiet surprising when I think about it. I don't believe in idols in spite of being a Hindu. I believe in pantheism. It makes a lot of sense and brings order to all chaos in life. One might think why I am writing about my faith and point of view. It was just to project my stand before we seeing the bone of contention. Recently, my results for the previous semester had come. I had got 87.4%. It was not the best but good considering the frugal effort which went into it. A miracle in human terms if I were to be honest. When I informed my mark to my cousin I was graciously congratulated. I thanked him and attributed it to God. The response I got was that "G...
