Be Free





















Today is India's 60th Independence Day. Soon after that, Sri Lanka got it's Independence too from British rule (in 1948). In order to celebrate India, and my many many Indian friends here, I wanna make a post on the Saree. I love the saree! It's my favourite Indian attire. I have many sarees and these are few photos taken when I wore the saree (old and new) - some pics of mine, my cousins and friends. Enjoy the saree that's proudly made in India!


HAPPY INDEPENDENCE DAY TO ALL INDIANS!


As a celebration of freedom, I'd like you all to describe in few words what Freedom really means to you. In BUF, this is what I said.

Freedom to me, is:

Being who I am wherever I may be -
INDIVIDUALITY

Tolerating all kinds of people - TOLERANCE

Realising the strengths and weaknesses of self - ACCEPTANCE

Spreading love and living in it - LOVE

Breaking all barriers to achieve togetherness - UNITY

Living in openness of the mind - PEACE


Do you have in you what it takes to set you free? It's your turn now. What is Freedom to you? Today's music is dedicated to all my Indian hotties here (Puja my Rajastani babe I LOVE U u soni kudi!) - I love all of you beautiful people from all cultures of the world! Have a good one mates. Jai Hind! :)

Rahul said...

I think there are certain conceptions today of being free.. living life a certain way, cherishing certain ideals and so on... For me freedom would also mean being able to hold dear concepts that arent in vogue- say if Arabs dont like democracy, dont force it on them, for instance...

Anyway Keshi, thanks for the wishes. India is grateful to you :-) and looking forward to Sri Lanka's 60th next year!

to me being free is to have a FREE BLOG

in the words of Andrew ...


Andrew The Asshole
Assville, FL, United States
Welcome to my memoirs.

My friend had a very conservative politically correct crowd. So I decide to create something a little more exciting.

In a world of political correctness, you might find my points of view offensive.

No subject matter is off limits race, religion, politics etc.

This is a place to freely speak your mind, because Dammit I sure will.

This blog is not about me or views its about political incorrectness of Andrew The ASSHOLE.

Happy independence day!

India completes her 60th year as a free nation on August 15, 2007. According to the Hindu tradition, completion of 60 years is a landmark event in the life of any person and celebrates the wisdom, maturity, accomplishment and the readiness to enter vanaprasta asrama (a phase of life marked by renunciation of worldly responsibilities, and detachment from power, desire, and wealth). However, 60 years is a short span in the life of a nation, and barely marks the first baby steps of a toddler. Hence, any assessment of India has to be generous and optimistic.

We have made decent progress in several areas during the last 60 years. We have produced world-class scientists, engineers, journalists, soldiers, bureaucrats, politicians and doctors. We have built complex bridges and dams. We have sent satellites and rockets into space. We have increased the number of doctors ten-fold. We have increased life expectancy from 32 years to 65 years. We have built about 20 lakh km of new roads; we have multiplied our steel production by over 50 times and cement production by almost 20 times. We have increased our exports from a few million dollars at the time of Independence to more than $125 billion now.

There is an equally convincing set of data to show that we have a long way to go in certain other areas. A whopping 350 million are illiterate; 260 million people are still below the poverty line; 150 million people lack access to drinking water; 750 million people lack decent sanitation and 50 per cent of the children are below acceptable nutrition levels. And basic medicines are unavailable in 75 per cent villages.

Be that as it may, today, I want to focus on a few major achievements that have transformed the lives of our people in a way we never imagined would happen:

Green revolution
Perhaps, no other Indian initiative has enhanced the national confidence as the Green Revolution initiated by Dr Swaminathan. This revolution, which started in 1965, not only transformed India into a food-surplus economy from a food-deficit economy, but also triggered the expansion of the rural, non-farm economy. The lives of at least 400 to 500 million Indians have been uplifted due to this initiative. From being a perennial importer of grains, India became a net exporter of food grains ten years ago.

White revolution
Coming from a generation which experienced an acute shortage of milk, it is unimaginable that, today, we have become the largest producer of milk in the world. The credit goes to the extraordinary vision of Dr Varghese Kurien, continued ably by Amrita Patel. In a nation where children are malnourished, such abundance of milk has offered us the opportunity to fight malnutrition.

Economic reforms of 1991
The economic reforms of 1991 - initiated by the late Narasimha Rao, Dr Manmohan Singh, Shri P Chidambaram and Dr Montek Singh Ahluwalia - opened up the minds of Indian corporate leaders to the power of global markets, helped them accept competition at home and abroad, and raised the confidence of consumers. Our hard currency reserves have gone up from a mere US$ 1.5 billion in 1991 to over US$ 220 billion today. The reforms encouraged entrepreneurship, and gave confidence to businessmen and entrepreneurs to dream big, create jobs, enhance exports, acquire companies abroad and follow the finest principles of corporate governance.

Independent media and brave journalists
The success of a democracy depends upon certain important values of governance - fairness, transparency and accountability. The freeing of media, particularly the television medium, has laid the foundation for improving these values in our governments. The courage, enthusiasm and the zeal to seek truth of scores of idealistic journalists and editors like N Ram, Arun Shourie, Shekhar Gupta, Sucheta Dalal, Barkha Dutt and Rajdeep Sardesai, just to mention a few from the English press and TV, are what make us feel confident that the future of this country is safe.

Telecom revolution
No other technology has brought India, the urban and the rural, together as the 500-line EPABX designed and implemented by the Centre for Development of Telematics (CDOT) under the leadership of Sam Pitroda. This programme brought fresh confidence to the people as they could reach out, in a jiffy, to their loved ones, the officials, and the doctors, just to name a few. People no more feel that they live in isolation.

Space Technology
Prof Yash Pal's Satellite Instructional Television Experiment (SITE) blossomed into a full-scale television facility connecting millions of villages of India. The television medium has made our political masters realise that their actions and inactions will be seen and judged by every citizen - from the forgotten villages of Assam to the activist villages of Kerala. This technology has given voice to the opinions of a billion people - the rich and the poor, the educated and the uneducated, and the powerful and the disfranchised.

Atomic Energy
Dr Bhabha conceptualized the Indian nuclear program and initiated nuclear science research in India. His program has made possible successful utilization of nuclear energy in defence, power generation, medicine and allied areas. Our peaceful use of nuclear energy has raised India's prestige as a mature and responsible player in this field.

Software revolution
N Vittal's Software Technology Program, along with economic reforms of 1991, laid the foundation for this industry's spectacular progress. India's IT exports grew from a mere $150 million in 1991-92 to $31.4 billion in 2006-07, and is projected to reach $60 Billion by 2010.

The Information Technology (IT) industry is unique due to several reasons. It focused on exports; benchmarked with the best global companies; followed the finest principles of corporate governance; created the largest number of jobs in the organized sector; and demonstrated that Indians too could succeed in the most competitive global markets.

Conclusion
What do these eight programmes have in common? They were all led by visionaries. These visionaries accepted global benchmarks and settled for nothing less despite tremendous odds. In each of these initiatives the national government was a genuine catalyst supported by some extraordinary politicians and bureaucrats. These examples clearly show how the people and the government can work together to achieve what is thought impossible.

What do I expect from the India of 2067? I want an India where every child will have access to decent education, healthcare, nutrition and shelter. I want an India where every child belonging to every race, religion and caste is confident that there is a bright future for him/her if he/she is honest and hardworking. I want an India which receives respect from every global forum because we Indians will be peace-loving; we will be gracious hosts; we will be fair; we will be pluralistic and respect every faith; we will be trustworthy and our aspirations and accomplishments will be high.

MP Hema Malini in soup over water purifier ad


http://www.ibnlive.com/news/mp-hema-malini-in-soup...
by mowbrays 11 hours 50 minutes ago (ibnlive.com)


Actor-turned-politician Hema Malini has landed in trouble for raising what’s just her second question in Parliament.
Hema suggested an excise cut on the water purifiers that use the reverse osmosis technology, saying the equipment used for water purification using this process be given tax cuts.

However, the first-time-MP probably forgot that she has a direct, commercial link with one such equipment manufacturer.

Hema endorses Kent RO water purifiers and this has landed her in bit of hot water with Parliament’s ethics committee.

Parliament rules that say an MP cannot raise any question in House for a product that he/she endorses.

Jim said...

All of these are clearly just demands against actions of Coke that various judicial and administrative bodies have held unethical; and yet, it is unfortunate that local communities have to go on protest marches and rallies under threat of police action to get justice.

Nandlal, one of the organizers of the march last year as well as the current one does point out that much has changed. During last years march, Nandlal points out that while people came out in support of the marchers and their cause, local administration – even at the village level – stayed away. This time, elected village officials organized events felicitating the marchers.

For one, in numerous cases, village officials supporting Coke have lost. It is clear that local farmers and the larger agrarian sections are seeing the impact Coke’s policies. In addition, village officials themselves are realizing the problems with Coke.
,
Two political leaders – Satyanarayan Kanaujia from BSP and Baidyanath Patel, formerly with BJP – had both come out in support of Coke during last years march.
,
This year, they are marching in opposition to Coke’s practices.

Sweetstickychewy said...

Hmmm..Freedom. Honestly, I like your idea of freedom. I can identify with that.

But i guess freedom to me is feeling happy with myself, my life, my world and everything else. Freedom to me is like a dance that brings you to places, takes you to heights and finally cause to be a wonderful person inside out. All in all, freedom never fails to bring happiness.

Thats what i feel freedom is to me.

And Happy Independance day to you and everyone else who plays a part with India.

Freedom to me is :

* live and let lie - Responsibility
* To be able to speak out - Fearlessness
* Assurance that my women and children are safe - Justice.
* To appreciate that we are different yet together - Equality.
* To understand that religions are supposed to bring humanity together not split them - Usage of the grey matter.
* To remember the people who won us this freedom - Respect.

Happy Independence to you. Saree is a lovely garment : you girls just proved that.

Freedom... Freedom to me is to be able to do what I want to without being rapped on my knuckles by anyone; no big brother watching over my shoulder; Freedom for my expression - speech, making mistakes, celebrating, commenting.

Freedom is indeed much needed don't u think. Cant imagine living in a country which has a no for my everything !

hi kesh,

thanks so much for your lovely wishes... and I'm wishing you the same.. HAPPY INDIAN INDEPENDENCE DAY.. and HAPPY SRILANKAN INDEPENDENCE DAY..


I checked the last before post also.. kool picks of celebrations...

And I wanted to tell you that sometimes when you smile you look like an Indian actress.. you know the one who acted in dil chahta hai as saif's pair? and she has done may madham also in Tamil.. her name is Sonali kulkarni.. I hope u r not upset with this fact dear..

hmm.. Freedom to me is...

The ability to think, speak, write and do whatever we feel right which does not harm anyone emotionally and physically [or shall I say which does not peep into someone else' freedom] in whichever place.

Like a free bird which is flying high without disturbing anyone..

much luv,

Helen said...

You look beautiful in your sarees, Keshi, it is definitely one of the most defining items of cultural fashion in the world. I love that Indian women have carried it into the 21st century.

And that is what freedom means to me, the responsibility of protecting what you hold dear and preserving a way of life b/c you love it.

Mwaaah! my gorgeous friend, and with that I am off to the beach!

Happy Independence Day, Keshi.

I guess, being born and having lived in AU, I haven't really given much thought to the true meaning of 'freedom'. I guess I'm very, very lucky...

radiohead said...

freedom to me .. well .. being free :P

i mean free to dance, sing, talk, walk, laugh, tease, run, hide, spin, flirt, escape, ride, fly, whistle .. whtelse .. free to expression ..

free to sight ..gal-gazing i mean ..

watmore freedom shud i talk abt .. i guess i can define other facets of freedom sometime whn i wud b restricted ..

so with restrictions u realise the true essence of freedom ..

Damn you're gorgeous.

gP said...

Nice post Keshi, and definitely the saree is our identity anywhere.

Freedom for me is to be able to do what I want knowing that everyone else would understand it. If any part of this is lacking, if there is no understanding in a single person, then the freedom is tarnished. If a single person hurts inside for what we have done, good or bad, then we have misused the freedom. alas in reality, in todays world, there is much more scum then understanding. Hope one day we achieve all the freedom we desire.

Freedom is to be what you are and even to be positive whatever the situation is. Hey, you look great in Saree. Advanced Happy Independence Day Wishes to SRILANKA too!

captain corky said...

Happy Independence Day! To me freedom is being able to come home and spend time with my wife and son in a very safe and loving home.

Beautiful pictures.

Brian in Oxford said...

Freedom is a song both by Wham! and by George Michael as a solo artist....

But really, it's the ability never to anticipate the worst when wanting to be your best.

krystyna said...

I try to be free. I think no one is free. There is only inner freedom.
I wish you
and to All Indians in the world

A Very Happy Independence Day!

diyadear said...

hey keshi dear..
u look so pretty in a sari.. ive heard that a gal looks sexiest in a sari he he thanks a lot for ur wishes. :)

KK said...

Hola! I am back again :)

Happy Independence day!!!

Girls look the best in sarees, thats my humble opinion... be what may but nothing can beat a saree :D (true indian)

Well freedom to me is doing what we want, when we want, how we want, why we want..... etc etc...

I got married, thats why you cant spot me any where for the past few months... I remember sending you an invite didnt you get it?

Indians women are so elegant, so mysterious... I wish I had Indian blood ! ;)

I can't believe the indpendance of India was "only" 60 years ago. Makes sense with the colonization and all, but that seems like a very short time. I guess as a European, it's hard for me to believe "we" kept the colonies that long...

Poo said...

Ahh aur kudiya .... awwwww my sexy roo looks so beautiful and stunning in saree..... Cool babeeeee :)) and Happy Independence day sweetheat :)) What a dedcation sweetheat !!!!

what independence means to me ...hmmmm??

I feel the real independence will come to Indian once we are banned from naming our caste etc. Until that goes on, Freedom is for sure not full. Incompetent people in postions of importance based on caste and creed will only lead to complex web of corruption.

Well I hope soon India will be free of all this too.

In the end I would just like to say to all "Jai Hind"" VandeMataram"

Love you sweetheart and thank you sweetheart:)) I am going to mail you something tomorrow.... a sweet twist in my life :))

Poo said...

wanted to tell you from a long time .... i tried calling you this weekend from here ..by using a calling card ...but somehow i am not able to reach you. I think i am dailing something wrong here!!!! Nyways wait for my...

Miss you as always my BIG Prachi :P

Love you

Margie said...

Dear Keshi
I believe your definition of freedom is spot on!

Hoping you are having a great day so far, and wishing you happy Inpendence Day!
Sorry I did not get by yesterday!

Thanks for your email and your concern....
I know you're right!
I'll be ok!

Beautiful pics of the sarees!
You look so lovely in that attire!
I actually have a saree...love it!

Bye for now hun!

**independance to me is the right to think and execute.
the right to make a difference, the right to contribute, and the right to have a say.

awww thats what Trinnie said too...exact same actress! Well why wud I complain...LOL Im stoked! TY :) I hv seen her in many movies...she's HOT woohoo! ;-)


**hmm.. Freedom to me is...
The ability to think, speak, write and do whatever we feel right which does not harm anyone emotionally and physically [or shall I say which does not peep into someone else' freedom] in whichever place.

I love this definition! Cos u didnt forget to include abt NOT harming others both physically and emotionally. U R SPOT ON!

hey Amit hows it going?


**Freedom to me is: Being able to express myself, AND being able to accept others expressing themselves,too,without keeping a close mind

Helen u beach babe!

**And that is what freedom means to me, the responsibility of protecting what you hold dear and preserving a way of life b/c you love it.

**I guess, being born and having lived in AU, I haven't really given much thought to the true meaning of 'freedom'. I guess I'm very, very lucky...

I agree.Aussies hv been a lucky bunch from the beginning!


-----------------------------------

Anuj I like ur answer...sweet but very true :)


** i guess i can define other facets of freedom sometime whn i wud b restricted ..

thats true too...u realise the value of having certain things ONLY when u lose em...

Ghosty ty!

**If a single person hurts inside for what we have done, good or bad, then we have misused the freedom.

I agree but not entirely...cos how can we cater for everyone's feelings? I mean whats right for me may not be right for u. sometimes we've got to say/do things w.o. having to worry so much abt what others think...

u know, it's great if everyone can see eye to eye, but if we all cant, then does that mean we violated Freedom? plz explain Ghosty. I'd like to hear more.

I luurve your pink saree!!! So gorgeous, and you accessorised it with a really pretty choker :D

Freedom to me, is being able to drop everything and go back to Japan, like NOW.

Sigh, I'm getting a little cranky. You're in Spring now, isn't it? I posted on a self-made humidifier, not sure if you use one urself.

Movin' On

Well, y'all, I've done about as much damage as I can do around this pop stand. I'm outta here.


I've made a new home and some of you have been invited. If you weren't invited and feel slighted, email me. Of course I rarely check that email but it's worth a go.
There are a couple reasons for this decision.
First, my stupid sense of humor really hurt somebody that I had come to care very much about. I had opened myself up to this person and considered them a friend and was very sad that my dumb joking destroyed this friendship. Feeling this way hurts way too much. I cannot allow myself to open up that much ever again. This is one reason I need a new start.
Second, there are some people that insist on thrusting their opinions where they are not wanted and go out of their way to do so even after being directly told, blocked, and whatever else. These people have no respect for my feelings. They think it's "cute" when I get mad. I will tell you that it is not "cute." It's hard to make me that mad. And its hard on me, both physically and emotionally, to be that mad. If you've managed to make me that mad, you need to back the fuck off. Regarding this individual, I feel bad for him that he's lonely but it's partly his fault because of this kind of behavior. I'm grateful that he put a plug for my book on his website. I will occasionally visit him in his world, but I cannot abide his behavior in mine. Therefore he is not invited to the new blog and nor will he ever know where it is.
To those who have been truly kind and understanding of a very peculiar and often not particularly happy individual, thank you. And if I invited you to my new home, I'll see you there!

Margie HUGGGGGGGGGZ! How r u feeling today?

I asked my mum abt it...she said she cried for days too...but then she made up her mind not to stay home...cos thats what made her think of me - cos when she sees my stuff at home, she missed me...so she decided to go out often with her friends, listen to music, go to churh/temple etc...she got herself busy...and thats how she buried the sadness.

Hope that helps ya too.

Put your hand in the hand of the man who stilled the waters
Put your hand in the hand of the man who calmed the sea
Take a look at yourself then you can look at others differently
Puttin' your hand in the hand of the man from Galilee

My mama taught me how to pray before I reached the age of seven
And when I'm down on my knees that's when I'm closest to heaven
Daddy lived his life with two kids and wife you do what you must do
But he showed me enough of what it takes to get me through oh yeah

Put your hand in the hand of the man...

Put your hand in the hand of the man...
Put your hand in the hand of the man...
Put your hand in the hand of the man from Galilee
Put your hand in the hand of the man from Galilee oh yeah

Hi Beautiful Keshi
Thanks for asking your mum!
I know that's just what I need to do....you helped me again hun!
You are an angel in my life!

I'm going down to my basement to lift weights and run on the threadmill now...that is also a good release for the sadness I'm going through.
I'm doing a little better today.
One day at a time...one moment at a time!
I have come to realize that not all gifts come from gaiety, love and joy.
If I respect the gift of grief, I can learn much from it!!

HUGGGGGGGGGZ darling Keshi!

Margie:)

gP said...

Keshi!

true...i contradicted myself...its not a perfect world...my vision is more Utopian. What I can say it, understand can and will work in small circles, more than 5 people then it will break down. How do we get large number of people to cherish what we hope for? We stay together for one vision. In this case India is admirable because the people would die for the very word India. How many other countries can we see people put away their race and religion for the colors of their country?

gP said...

The true value of freedom lies in the moments that we live it, even if its only for a few hours. Its the sweetest feeling.

Beautiful sarees there keshi! You look lovely as always dear :)

For me there is freedom existing with a limit, but I can’t do anything with that. I feel the freedom of thinking and feeling the love, exposing it here (blog) and when ever I get chances.

toby said...

Here we go, better late than never, eh?

Freedom, for me, means exactly what the word says; to be FREE of DOMineering influences, whether political, religious or familial. The latter being the most important because it is the most insidious and least recognised.

Keshi girl, you said "Aussies have been a lucky bunch from the beginning!".

I wonder if you've read The Floating Brothel by Sian Rees. A true story about survival of the luckiest on the voyage from London to Botany Bay in 1789.

I did give a hint in blog check my last post in my blog you will find the following line... :)
"P.S.S.S.S.S -I will be away from blogging for another one month to grow fatter from single to double."

Nope I am not in India, I have joined office after my vacation... :D

Mumbai Guy said...

Freedom to me is ability to travel around the world, eat what I want, wear what I want and see what I want.

I would not include "say what I want" because too many people say too many stupid, irrelevant things in name of freedom and try to get away with it.

Freedom comes closely bonded with respect to everyone. Lecture aside, you look fabulous in saree - I have always said that there is Smita Patil in you :-).

Keshi said...

Ghosty tnxx!

**How do we get large number of people to cherish what we hope for?

thats exactly my point. Someone else not understanding my thoughts does not mean I dun have FREEDOM.

**I wonder if you've read The Floating Brothel by Sian Rees. A true story about survival of the luckiest on the voyage from London to Botany Bay in 1789.

I hv read abt it Toby. When I said Aussies were a lucky bunch from the beginning, I meant Aussies who were born after Australia was formed. U know wut I mean Tobez? When Captain Cook first arrived here and formed the country. The Voyage must hv been a tough one but Asutralia was never under someone else's RULE...like India and Sri Lanka was...for many years that is.

Thats what I meant when I wrote that to Nora :)
