Yesterday was auspicious day for any Keralite. People celebrate Onam with gaiety and fervor.
Morning we woke up and my wife had already bought few ready made packets of flowers for pookalam; onam celebrations are marked by intricate flower carpets called Pookalam.
Special poojas and prayers conducted. All members of family were waiting for highpoint; the Onasadya.
I asked my wife; hows the preparation going on; she replied with beautiful smile “everything will be ready in few minutes”. My mom was busy chanting prayers. I looked at my mom; where is her one leg gone; actually she is standing on leg and praying for all our familys deergayasu (long life). Actually I was not sure whether Lord Shiva was really impressed!
On time; enormous lunch called Onasadya was ready but some of the items were made with ready-mades.
One of my friends called me and said “hey…there is a new restaurant has come up in south Mumbai. Are you joining for a dinner with us for Onam Celebrations”; I said “I will try to make it”
A readymade Onam this time! I believe going forward all malayalees (Keralites) will depend on readymade foods.
It was a great Onasadya but Maveli Landed with mask and sanitizer due to Swine Flu scare!
Happy onam!

Shah Rukh Khan - Detention at Newark - USA
Our great Abdul Kalam frisked; but he did not utter a single word, It happened in Indian soil. It is against the Airline Security protocols that they should not frisk high dignitaries. (It was a sad event happened in Indian soil – That is because of our spineless government at Center).
After India's embassy in the US intervened; Shah Rukh Khan was released; actor said he felt angry and humiliated. He went on saying he was questioned because of his name and his religion.
The news was widely reported in India media.
Why to make issue when there is no issue at all!
It is good for him to down play this event.
There was no single incident of terrorism in US Land after 9/11. We guys should learn good lessons from US Home Land Security rather than accusing them.

Americas kissed the pig and world pissed on Americas!
After the first death in Pune, India; we saw a panic grip on entire Mumbai. Panic was because of contagiousness nature, sudden outbreak of the disease and its actual mortality.
There was madness in the city. Rush for mask and sanitizer.
I went to medical store and asked for mask. He showed me 2-3 different variety of masks and asked me to wear it to make sure that it suits me. I paused and teriffied; and told myself "hey boy if i would have been a pig; i would have kissed your mouth for this negligence. (He was not sure that H1N1 Virus spread through our mouth/nostril/eyes).
