The NSG Waiver in Vienna had been a door opener for a country like India.After 34 years of Nuclear Apartheid Now India would be close to super power.China is a powerful nation and it tried to block the NSG Waiver through other countries.Initially it tried playing havoc using the CPM and other leftist group in India but Dr.Manmohan singh,a Gold Medalist from London School of economics,Would any time beat a poor Strategist like Mr.Karat & Co.Thus Confidential motion was set and the UDF were Victorious thereby stopping Left parties and BJP from any further mischief.
Next Hurdle was to get approval from NSG.The American President directly got involved and got it passed at the NSG.All Indians are Thankful to you Mr.George Bush.Definitely you will be an icon for Indians in future.Probably your good intention of stopping Terrorist of Afghan and Iraq had backfired but I am sure your role in making India a Nuclear power will Always be appreciated.Thank You Dubya!!
Now NSG waiver has given India a Global opportunity.It will generate worldwide business worth US$40 billion!
Hence we Indians should Thank our PM Dr.Manmohan Singh and the US President Mr.George Bush.

Raipur a big village
Coming back to the schooldays We have returned from Kerala Vacation and the School Days are back.Though now Raipur is the Capital of Chattisgarh it had been a big Village when i was doing my Schooling.We use to live in a place called Raja Talab which in English translates to King Pond.
Near to that is the place called Shanti Nagar,Shanker nagar etc;All had few houses and known people.My School holy Cross Convent is in a place called Byron bazar.
It is a Catholic Convent School Run by the Missionary Fathers and Nuns.They were very strict in the matter of education and discipline.Sports was always encouraged and Curricular activities were given extra marks.Most of the teachers were Highly Qualified Locales,Anglo Indians or Nuns.
Class consisted of Sindhis,Punjabis,Bengalis,marathas,Marwaris ,Gujratis,Tamil,Telugu,oriyas and Malayalees.Very few Upites,Biharis.

Loyal Malayalee
One of the best or worst thing that we notice would be the Loyalty of a Malayalee.
Some of the products that had always been used by Malayalees from so many Decades are given below.
Talcum powder has to Cutticura or Ponds and no malayalee would go for anything different.
Soaps are Cinthol,Lifebouy and Chandrika and for small infants it has to be Pears and Johnson's.
Hair Oil would be Coconut oil,Gingelly oil.It is also used for cooking as well.Besides different Types of Ayurvedic Oils are used for body Massage.
Cigarettes has to be Scissors or Panama.Strong guys chose Charminar.Also Kerala Dinesh Beedi is very Popular among working class and Communist Followers.
White Dhotis are of Lakshmi mills and Lungies were of Bombay Dyeing now replaced by Kitex Brand.
Detergent Powder will be Surf and detergent Soap Rin.
Dish washing Powder Vim.
Antiseptic will always be Dettol.Shaving Cream will be Palmolive or Godrej and Toothpaste had been Colgate or Close-Up.
After Shave Lotion Old-Spice.
Sunglasses are always Ray-ban.Most of the KSRTC drivers wear it.
Now many wear pants and Shirts.Louis Phillipe is the Favorite but many also prefer Peter England.Bra and panties of MyBra and Juliet had been favorite for kerala Ladies and Gents prefer Tantex Underwear and Baniyan.
Another famous dress worn by malayalee Women is the Nighties which is worn even whole Day and wouldn't mind even going to Shops and Hospital etc wearing it.Any where in the world if a lady is Spotted with Nightie then in all probability she would be a malayalee!!
When it comes Hard drinks Kerala has the most number of Drunkards.Usually the brand would be Bejoice Brandy followed by McDowells No.1 Whiskey.In case of Beer it is Kingfisher or Kalyani Beer.
Footwear would always be Bata.Quivadis a kind of sandel had been favourite with many Youngsters in the past and Shoes if worn has to be Bata Ambassodor.Paragon is the Hawai Chappel worn by men and Women alike and is the Trade mark of a malayalee.
Moustache is another trade mark of a Malayalee.Men without Moustache is disliked by Kerala Girls and might be even rejected in marriage.All Filmstars Mamooty,Mohanlal,Suresh Gopi,Jairam,Mukesh,Dileep and also yesteryear's actors PremNazir,Madhu,Satyan and Thikurishi all wear a Moustache.All villains in Malayalam movies are always Clean-Shaved.But in Hindi Movies The Super Stars are clean Shave and Villains carry on moustaches!!

Nuclear Deal - Empowering India
In my previous article I mentioned about the job opportunities that India could achieve as a Nuclear Power.Besides how Indians would be much in demand building nuclear plants around the world.Here are some of the Industries that could benefit in India from the Deal.
1)Defence and Space .
2)Medicine - There will a Huge progress in the Field of Nuclear Medicine.
3)Oil and Electronics.
4)Mining and Power industry.
5)Components Business :There will be a great deal of opportunity for Civilian Nuclear Energy Components Business.
When Comparison is made to China we would notice that Chinese too have nuclear plants but they use 'Sunset technology' - Stuff that is no more competitive.
How I hope Dr.Manmohan Singh could Lead the Nation for at least 5 more years as it would Definitely make India a Leading Force to be Reckoned by the World!

Nuclear Deal and India
One of the most recent events that had directly or indirectly involved most of the Indians had been the nuclear deal.Lot of arguments and debates were held on this subject.The Leftist party has walked out of the support which they were giving to Dr.Manmohan Singh government.Some of the BJP Representatives voted against their party in the Trust vote.
What this nuclear treaty?It is a No Clear Treaty for most of the Indians.
India is perceived to be a Highly Developed nation in the near Future.Another country would be China.Both this countries would require lot of energy in the form of Electricity in Future.China owns their own indigenous Technology to run their Nuclear reactors and it is considered to be inferior reactors as compared to the reactors in the Western Countries.India wants more energy to be produced and the conventional ways are that of Hydel and Coal.Hydel energy is purely dependent on the annual rainfall which can have a lot of shortfall.Coal reserves are only available for few more years later than that India would have to import coal and prices can be very high.Beside Thermal plant pollutes nature thus causing a lot of environment concerns.
Thus the only option left for future would be Nuclear energy thus Indian Prime Minister Dr.Manmohan Singh has created another Reform which would have a very Positive impact in the years to come.Dr.Singh brought in the economic reforms to India and there was no looking back from 1991.
What could Indian gain through this Nuclear deal?
a) 30 Nuclear reactors are proposed once the deal goes thru.It would give direct employment to 100000 people and indirect employment to 500000 people.
b) Uninterrupted power supply for all the Industries and Residential houses in the Indian Towns and Villages.
c) Traditionally Indians borrow technology.Slowly they Indigenous the parts and later they start manufacturing and exporting worldwide.In case of Software Industries Indians started as Data entry operators and now they are exporting software.Similarly in another 12 years India would be a Leader in Nuclear Reactors and Internationally Indians would be fixing Nuclear Reactors.That is indeed a Revolution and thus make India the most Developed nation.
The Communist party in India is always well Known for being anti reformist.When computerisation was introduced they were the one who went against it and almost paralysed this country.They have not allowed the UPA government to bring in many reforms.Indians are really happy to see them walk out of the coalition.At least during the little time that is left the Government could pass most of the held up reforms in the Parliament as the elections will be held next year.

Malayalees outside Kerala.
Traditional joke goes that when Mr.Edmund Hillary conquered Himalayas for first time,on top of the Himalayan peak he was offered a glass of hot 'Chai' by a Malayalee.I have often wondered how malayalees migrate to such an extend outside the Kerala state.Once as a part of job I had to travel to a place called Korba which is in Bastar a predominantly tribal place.So I had to take a bus from Bilaspur get down at some point and then another bus would take me to Korba coalmines.Now I was waiting in front of a teashop and went to ask the owner of the shop about timing of bus.All on a sudden I heard a Malayalam film song in the background.No doubt it was a malayalee tea shop.He guided me how to go about and how to come back etc;It is found that thare are 10,000 Malayalees in Pakistan!
How easily a Malayalee get adapted to any circumstance and any locality has always surprised me.He learns the Language very fast.If you wait for a bus at Diera bus stop in Dubai you will know the language skill of Malayalees.There are many fancy shops near the Bus Depot and International tourist keep on pouring in.So the salesman would speak in Russian language on seeing a Russian group, immediately he will switch on to Arabic,sinhalese,French,English and some African Language depending on the crowd which arrives.
In India itself they speak pure Hindi if in Hindi belt,Gujarati if in Gujarat,Telugu in Andhra Pradesh and Kannada if in Karnataka.They work very hard ,but only if they are outside kerala.For them 55 degree Celsius Temperature would'nt affect in spite of constructing some building.Most of the buildings in the Arabian Gulf is a standing example of hard labour of Malayalees.
Still in Kerala they wouldn't like to work.Probably Kerala is a Resort for a Malayalee and he do not want to Industrialise it!!

Return Journey
Now the vacation is over.Time to pack up and once again back to Madhya Pradesh.So the Journey starts from Thiruvalla.Along with the Journey the eating marathon starts.To start with 'Paripu vada' is the first thing available between Thiruvalla and Kottayam.It is very hot and spicy.From Kottayam to Ernakulum it is 'Medu Vada'.In between Coffee is taken.At Ernakulum we get down to get our next train to Madras.Fish curry Meals at the Ernakulum junction is quiet tempting.Of Kerala's most famous fish sardine is served.Then we get into a train bound for Madras.After a good nights sleep we reach Madras.Immediately we run to get hold of another train bound for Nagpur.Now it is two days journey.Now the food is Vegetarian and made in groundnut oil.Dressing of people also changes.Tamil ladies prefer white Jasmine flowers to decorate their hair along with lot of glass bangles and of course the nose ring which surprisingly even the Kerala Hindu ladies never use to put.One thing that always surprised me was why a Tamil lady always apply lot of Turmeric all over their body?No answer.
One of the major attraction about entering Andhra pradesh is to eat lot of fruits which the vendors keep on coming at between two stations.Once on entering orrisa we get lot of Hot milk to drink.Finally after breakfast on train we reach Nagpur.After one hour we get our train for Madhya pradesh and we reach our place in two hours.
In Madhya pradesh the only mode of transportation was Cycle riksha.So We take a cycle riksha and reach our rented home.
