Ideal World - My view

I dont understand why the media/world is very interested on the origin/color of a person. In the last few days or even months, every form of media, whenever they talk about America and recent elections, they refer to Barack Obama not just as Barack Obama but as first black president or first black democratic candidate, first black etc.,

Why should the Media refer him with his color. I understand, the world has seen worst racist times in the past, but now atleast in 20th century, the same world is united (atleast to outside) in condemning racism and number of laws and Acts are created. In spite of all that.....

Why should he be referred as First Black President of America, why not treat him as any other person (as human infact) and say 42nd or 43rd or whatever president of America. Why should the media be allowed to refer by his color.

Yes he may be first person or a 100th person, which is known to all or not, i would say media should not use the ethnic/color as in referring a person. There will be cases where in some parts of the world untill the media said so, people would not have known him as Black or White. If on the streets or any public/private place a person being referred by his color is not accepted and is tagged Racist remark, then this is also the same and Media should be brought into court.

I still strongly feel the world or larger part of world still has this menace "racism". When a world renowned media company refers to 26/11 attackers in Mumbai as Gunmen but the attackers who attacked their part of world even if its of smaller scale than 26/11 Mumbai, are referred as terrorists - proves how deep this bloody menace is.

My view of ideal world would be to refer a person just by his name rather than ethnic/color. As first step towards it, We need to get the Rule or Act that should ban this usage by Media.

Wish you all a very happy and succesful New Year 2009

Organic Milk - Whats that?

Last time we have been to Tesco, my wife was looking for milk bottle which we generally take. She always finds the one by matching the label and when she didnt find, started looking for alternatives. Thats the time, she noticed that tesco sells different types like organic, skimmed, semi skimmed etc., She understood the differences in skimmed, semi-skimmed etc., but one which she asked me - What does it actually mean by Organic Milk?

I thought let me check in web for official definition, and when i saw the below links saying

‘Organic’ is a legally defined quality mark, indicating that production meets the Advisory Committee on Organic Standards (ACOS) criteria. These standards emphasise animal welfare and, by avoiding artificial fertilisers, pesticides and other non-natural chemicals, and prohibiting the routine use of antibiotics and other conventional drugs, also ensure care for the environment, and promote the highest standards of food quality and safety.

It struck to me suddenly, what the above para defines is actually nothing but the Milk we drink daily in India (villages/towns) where milk man comes to house and delivers the milk which is produced the same day. (ofcourse cities are getting globalised :-) ) And i was feeling very sorry for the western world. These people never understood the life as it is given by Nature, instead they exploited it, tried to show superiority over nature by producing new inventions, defining new practices or so called standards and to have them accepted committees, rules, regulations are created. Now they are back to square 1. They are now re-defining the source with new names and to make it accepted, again new committees, rules are created.
I Pity these Western Countries and the People.

Mera Bharat Mahan, Jai Hind.

Kungfu Squirrels

Since my childhood, i like watching squirrels, thats one of my favourite hobby. I always used to dream of having them as pets, record videos of their every single move...so cute....isn't it!!

May be thats one reason, not to downgrade the directors effort, Alvin and ChipMunks was a movie which i enjoyed a lot especially with excellent dialogues and now seeing this article makes me more mad about them. Feels like becoming a Professional Photographer watching cute little creatures, one of many creations by God. watch these now....
