February is considered the month of Love, and yet when you see articles and poems in this edition,

you will probably not find lovey dovey poems and articles. Why, there's even a poem on war. What's

the point behind this? Well, Love is not just the rendezvous at a quiet place or an evening of shrills

and thrills, it is about men joining the army in times of need, it is the nights stayed awake by a

mother for her newborn, it is the heartfelt letter to a father, it is the speech of a CEO about his con-

glomerate, and just about anything that makes each of you out there and me a better human, be-

cause when we act out of love, what happens is magical. Be it in our work, or home, or anywhere in

life. We don't need a month to celebrate love, but more importantly, I think we see love in the small

aspects of life, and not just the gooey mushy kind. May Love conquer you all!

Happy Reading! Stay inspired!

Regards,

Sandhya Nagaraj, Editor, IU e-Magazine

February- The month of love! Smiles that appear on many faces uncontrollably.. Broaden eyes are

many you find, telling stories. They wander, they wonder, they ponder upon the situation. So visibleare the expressions to the world but to them.. This is the state of the people across the globe. Com-

prehending this emotion is what can never be achieved. Sojourned are the people with a definite na-

tive disposition. By the time they get back to their normal state, some might have lost a lot and some

might have gained. Losing and gaining are the part of the game. Fighter spirit is what it demands to

face the challenges of this game called life. Here comes the savior in the name of inspiration, that

when retained no matter whatever is lost, will help regain everything back. Keep your spirits on.

Stay inspired. Past can never be altered nor be lived back.

With this wishing you all a very happy Valentine s Day . May you be loved unconditionally by all

and stay inspired.

Regards,

Preethi Kashyap, Editor, IU e-magazine

Suman Kittur


Q: Let's begin with what we all know is your life- Cinema.

Suman Kittur (SK): The moment you talk about cinema, it is pretty time consum-ing. It demands a lot of time. From the time you get the story till you release themovie, you never have a count. To make a movie- whether it is a good one or abad one, whatever the case is- two things it definitely demands. First thing is timeand the second thing is energy. Cinema is like a baby. You can't tell it to be awakeat the convenience of its mother. You need to be available for it all the time. Youcan't say what it might demand at what time. You have to give it all your time. Itdemands a lot of your time and energy. It requires a lot of stamina and physicalstrength. Directing is a day and night work. You will feel very restless. The physicalstructure of women itself is like that, which makes them feel tired. May be that iswhy there are very less lady directors in the industry. Easier than this is standing infront of the camera. I don't mean easy, I mean you need a different kind of mindset

for that. It's pretty difficult to face so many people at the sets. So many minds, youreally can't say who's thinking what of you. Like I said, you need a different kind of mindset, you need preparation. More than anything you need a family atmospherethat supports you.

Direction is pretty difficult, especially for ladies. Its the gut feeling. That's a hugeresponsibility on shoulders. Every day you have to learn new things. You have toindulge in a lot of things that you never would have even thought of. It is indeedpretty challenging. You should start thinking in an entirely new direction. Presenceof mind, your speed of thoughts, firm and quick decisions.. everything matters here.Every second matters. You just should know how to play with it all. I would say thatmore and more females should enter the movie industry. They should also contrib-ute. I am not telling they should enter the direction or the acting part of it alone. To-day, technology has advanced very much and there are multiple things involved inmaking a movie. They can work in technical teams. They can be experts at dub-bing, they can do editing, they can be a part of designing and so on. It might nothappen all of a sudden, but it is indeed my dream to see more and more womenentering this industry. Until we try something we can never know its hard part and

as well as its easy side. Every field has its pros and cons. And I would want all youladies reading, at least some of you who know that they can explore: Please give ita try!

Q: Very well said Suman! When we talk about the field called direction, we see somany people entering the fie ld every now and then. But we dont see them all in thelist of successful directors. Many directors when they enter direction field, they will

Introduction:Suman Kittur is a film maker who has a rich experience in t he industry. Her debut film Slum bala as a director was appreciatedand loved by the people very much. Being from a very small township, this lady today proves to be an example for millions of people who say that they cant do it because of their family restr ictions.

Suman was born and brought up in a small town near Mysore. She doesnt belong to a luxurious family background. In her town, sending girls for education in itself was a big deal. She was brought in a place where till date there is no sufficient power supply. There are not enough facility.

Her recent film, Edegaarike went on to become a great hit. It proved that even a lady could become a successful director.More on it.. Lets hear from her.

give two three hits in a row. But later there would be continuous flops. Whatis the reason behind this?

SK: Sometimes even makers of movies cannot predict the result. As yousaid, if the initial movies taken in hand go hit, the maker gets more confi-dence. A lot of times, he/she ends up becoming over confident. They startthinking that people will take anything they present to them. May be thetrend that made them climb this ladder of success might fail at times in keep-ing them at the top. So if you don't try out new things, if you stop experiment-ing, if you stick to a trend, you might end up giving flops. Basically the crea-tor even after trying to set a new trend every time, might fail. He doesn'tknow exactly to stick to what at times. We can't study the market easily, nomatter how big a research we do. Sometimes it clicks and sometimes itdoesn't. It's all a part of the game. Till date one thing that any maker c ouldnt decide prior making a movie is the likes and dislikes of the people.

We have made three classes in the theatres. You find officers coming, youfind housewives, auto drivers, cleaners, politicians, daily wagers and manycategories of people coming and watching the same screen. That is thepower what cinema has and that is why I consider it as my life. Imagine itspower to have gathered and attracted people of diversified background un-der one roof. It's a wonder indeed. It's magic. It is divine. There is no partiali-ty. Everyone's treated equally. There's no difference between rich and poor,men and women, tastes and preferences of people.. Cinema has the power of bringing everyone together in a hall without any discrimination. One placewhere you can see all kinds of people on the earth gathering is a theatre andthat is why I respect this industry a lot.

Sometimes when a film-maker gets a subject in hand, if he/she gets enoughsupport from the environment in different ways, only then will he take up theproject and make a film. For example, "Edegaarike"(name of a filmdirected by Ms. Suman Kittur). Why Edegaarike is successful todayis because the environment supported us really well with manyaspects added to it. There are hardly any movies that are novelbased these days.


5/19

What happened here was, when we announced that we are making a movie of thisnovel, people who had read the novel started talking to the people who hadn't,about the novel. So this created curiosity amongst the viewers and they wanted tosee how this can come as a movie, as it is completely a new and different topic.There are so many films that come to theatres every year. All of them would haveat least four songs, two fights. That's the common thing. But the new thing whatthey found in our film was that there were no songs in the movie. In fact the view-ers, themselves said that the songs were not required. It was a new way of lookingat the cinema industry. We started experimenting on this. The first one with whichwe started experimenting was "Aa dinagalu". Again to break that, we only had tocome. Aa dinagalu at least had two songs but Edegaarike has only one. See thiskind of experiment works very rarely. Not every time it clicks. You really can't pre-dict. Nagathihalli Chandrashekhar sir says- "As and when I take up new cinema inhand, I change myself completely. I try to get into the film. I always stay and standat a student's position. The moment you think you are the master, you lose thegame. Try to learn new things and adopt it in your movies."

Q: How were your childhood days? How is it responsible for your achievement to-day?

SK: To tell you frankly, there was no concept called education at all in the placewhere I spent my childhood days. There was no power supply. I remember sittingunder a lamp and studying almost every single day. I belong to a farmer's family.

Along with dogs, cats, donkeys, cows, sheep we also were living. Those days werevery different for me. The experience was pretty unique. The best part was that Iused to always take decisions independently. The best part about my parents wasthat they never used to restrict me. I could go wherever I wanted to and was free tocommunicate to anybody. But I have definitely got beaten for a lot of other things. Iused to love my dad a lot. The thing that astonishes me till date is, though we hard-ly were encouraged to study, I still was very keen in reading more and more books.Something or the other I was into all the time. I used to love studying a lot. This im-pressed my dad a lot. So he used to encourage me always. My dad was a "ma-haan guru"(great teacher) for me. I was very stubborn then and always wanted togo with him everywhere. So he used to assign me the work of counting stars in thenight. Every day I had to do that. I used to fall asleep while counting every night. Sothis became a part of my routine. Now I can derive the lesson that he taught mebecause of that work. It subconsciously helped me develop patience. So like thatevery deed that was assigned taught me great lessons of life. It shaped my per-sonality I would say.

I remember it really well. We were not in that good a position. Except for food andclothing, we were not introduced to any other luxuries of life at all. Same carpet,same pillow every day.. sleep, eat and that is it. As I said already I was very stub-born and I used to demand a lot of things. One situation I can never forget. Under an old temple on rocky surface fighting severe cold and hot sun there were somefamilies staying. While passing by that road every time my dad used to show themto me and say. "Dear.. see them once. You at least have clothes to wear, see theydon't even have that. You have at least a good house to sleep and take shelter;they are cheated of even that. So you should not ask for everything you see. Lookat them. Think about it once. You are a good girl right?". I remember him telling methis. Today he is not there. But he always had this belief that Suman will achievesomething in her life. He could see something in me that I could not then. By thetime I achieved he was not alive. He would have felt very proud and happy if hewas alive.

They had this child marriage practice in our town. My sisters got married pretty ear-ly. I remember requesting my dad. I was just 12 years old and I am the last child of my parents. The situation was pretty scary. So after me requesting so much, finally,my dad sent me to his sister's place in Coorg. I went with a different dream alto-gether. In that beautiful environment of Coorg I thought, I will get a different kind of education. I had a deep desire of studying further. I had a dream of studying IAS.Even my dad used to say that.

ts the gut feeling

I went to my aunt's place for a reason. But they made me do something else.They started making me work at their place mercilessly. I had to do and washelpless. Somehow I wanted to finish my 2nd PU. I couldn't have told my dadalso about that as he would have taken me back to home town and got memarried . So somehow I completed my 2 years of PUC and came to Bangalore.

There, I met Sridhar sir, which was the biggest turning point of my life. He con-siders me as his daughter. Looking at my desire towards knowledge, he prom-ised my dad of taking my responsibility. My dad always used to say then- "I amhappy that you are in a safer hand. Now I am not scared of even death." Unfor-tunately he expired after that incident.

I feel not all girls are so lucky as much as I was. My life went in the hands of one teacher(my father) to another great teacher of my life(Sridhar sir).Hetaught me almost everything that life demanded. He filled courage in me. Hestudied my potential. He found my talent and my abilities. I started learningfilms and all things related to a film. He made me read more and more books.He was my university. Looking at my work in the film "Aa dinagalu", he gaveme the film "Slum Bala" to handle. That time I told him that I still have to learnand study this industry. He told me to learn while doing. Learn practically. Ex-perience should come to you by your work. I went on learning and today, thefilm "Edegaarike" acts as a testimony to my direction abilities. This film got ap-preciated. The whole industry today is talking about this film. This is a new ex-periment and certainly new experience as well. But this journey made me de-velop immense patience.

Q: Didn't you feel like taking a short cut in life? Not because you wanted to en-ter though. But this poverty makes or provokes any one to take a wrong route.Somehow people want to come out of it and that makes them do these things.Has that happened with you as well? Did you face that situation?

SK: No. That mere thought also never entered my mind. I don't know fromwhere did that come from but I always had this belief that Education alwayssaves us. When you learn and study well, it saves you somehow. Anywhereyou go, it shields you against all the odds. I started learning well after that. Istarted studying really well. Especially Kannada. The moment I saw any Kan-nada book or newspaper I used to pick that and start reading. I never knew anyother language apart from Kannada. I had to work so hard to understand themeaning of other languages, including English. I never knew even to read thesubtitles of the movie. But the passion towards learning made me learn. I usedto write every word fifty times and try and understand the meaning of the same.

Your message to our readers.

SK: Especially to all the girls I would want to say, without hurting yourself andwithout hurting others(even parents), with even the limited resources that youhave, you can do wonders. Outside world always looks colorful and moreamazing. But if we can't use what we have, we have no right to even thinkabout what is not there. Your decisions should not hurt anyone.

When I had to leave my home town and come to Bangalore to explore, I re-quested people at home to allow me with this much freedom and if I fail toachieve, I shall come back soon. I never made any issue out of it nor foughtwith anyone. I used every single thing I had in hand and that's when I went toexplore the world. My mom was not ready to send me. There was a person byname Subbanna in our town. My mom used to believe in his words a lot andused to respect his words. So I went to him and requested him to tell my momto allow me to go out and explore. He did the same and my mom agreed. Youalways will find a way to sort the situation out without hurting anyone. I chosethat way. Patience is God. You have to worship that. Today all of them are soproud of me. My mom feels so proud about me that she talks about my story toeveryone in my hometown. Give a chance to others to feel proud about youand that is what shall make a person's life complete.

damage. Even now after having good number of prospects and projects in hand,its not that a cake walk, now challenges are bigger and Stronger, and so are we.

Have you ever started doing something you used to do and thenremember how much you absolutely loved it? Something like writing,running, singing, reading etc. it could be anything!

That is basically what happened to me. As Ive stated in a few art i-cles before, I started college and with it started taking a coupledance classes to fill up my schedule. I can t believe I ever stoppeddoing any form of dance. I love it so much!

Growing up, I always had cheerleading practices, competitions, andparades. And by the time I got to middle school I was taking balletand made it onto the schools drill team and that w as such a differ-ent experience. The competitions were fierce and the parades weredone wearing dance heels in beautiful outfits. So by the time Imoved to Northern California I was dance -less to say the least. Imean, at the time it wasnt so much of a p roblem because I was try-ing to get used to a new middle school and new people as well as anew house. Its a lot for an eleven year -old to go through. But after ayear I was able to join another cheerleading group, the Pleasant HillRebels, as a flier. I really did enjoy being tossed up in the air andgetting back into the dance swing again. Sadly though, that particu-lar group only went up to eighth grade level, so the oldest you couldreally be was thirteen. So, leaving Rebels cheer and moving on tohigh school left me with kind of one option. There was a dance classoffered at the school and I signed up for it.

Oh. My. Goodness. This dance class was the last thing that I evenimagined. Lets just say that it was probably what turned me awayfrom dancing and onto roller hockey and writing. Big hobby jump,right? Yeah but it gave me a great start for my first novel, Antis e-rum Part I. Thank you to a few characters playing their part!

Anyway, for the next three-and-a-quarter years I was busy with writ-ing my first and second novel as well as playing roller hockey on anall-boys team. I also learned how to market in every way I couldwhich was a great career push.

All of this kept me real busy throughout high school and by the time Igraduated I had quite a few things going on. And even after gradua-tion I had an almost month long trip traveling the British Isles! Yes, Iwas a very busy bee.

By the time I came back though, I was pretty late for signing up for college courses and was only left with a select few things and ruledout taking any of the creative writing courses and English coursesthat I wanted to take in order to strengthen my background in writ-ing. Luckily, I was still able to take World Mythology which was anEnglish course that required heavy reading and essay writing skills.Thank goodness! I was also signed up for ballet fundamentals and adance reparatory class that would perform our work at the end of theschool semester.

And thats where it begins!!! I had fallen back in love with dancing.On top of that, I was more in shape and healthier than Ive been in awhile which is something I strive for. I m constantly trying to improveall of my dance skills now and I love how much of a challenge it canbe to get certain combinations down perfectly and its also fun to do!Im really happy to say that because of dance, I was able to figureout the rest of my college planning and future endeavors. This reallycame as a relief because, believe it or not even though I made it outto seem like I knew what I wanted to do, I still was slightly confusedand unsure. DONT WORRY THOUGH! I still really love writing an dam still keeping it up with the third Antiserum installment. The onlydifference is that Im happier with what Im doing which gives memore drive for, practically, everything! Yes, me even happier, lol!!I strongly feel that if someone goes back to a hobby that they trulyloved, even if its just a pass -time activity, that theyll feel so muchhappier. Even if its once or twice a week that youre able to do it(like myself), theyll still feel how should I say it theyll feel readyfor each week with a positive outcome. I know I do and I honestlycant wait for each day I have school and whenever I can I danceeven if its just down the hall!

A story with a theme is a story with a point. Every story has a themeand being aware of it will give your story focus as you write.How wellyou convey that to your reader will depend on your writing skills.

Here are 10 helpful hints:1) A theme is not a motif. Love, hate and greed are motifs. Thetheme is the subject of your composition, a recurring and unifyingidea. Loss would be the motif. That man can learn from loss wouldbe the theme. Themes are often lessons learned. Hate can turn aperson into a monster. Love will conquer all.

2) The elements of your story should support your theme. Your characters, plot, word choice and scenes can all go toward provingyour theme. If your story is about a drug dealer who now regrets thesuffering he has caused, forgiveness would be the motif and thepersonal gain of righting wrongs done to others would be the theme.Your story will swirl around his journey for clemency.

3) Theme should be an unconscious message that creeps into your story. It is not necessary to announce what the theme of your bookis going to be. Your readers will get it without a diagram from you.

4) You may discover a theme emerging as you write. If that hap-pens, go back and sprinkle in supporting material and delete thingsthat are conflicting to your newly recognized theme. Perhaps youstarted out writing a sweet boy-meets-girl story but as you wentalong you realize it has become a tale of how mixed couples are notalways accepted in our society. Now you need to go back and takeout the warm 'meeting the parents' scene you wrote and change it toa scene where he struggles with a cold reception to support your new theme.

5) Your theme can change as you progress with the story. If you be-gan writing a story about anger and discover it's turning out to beabout greed, go with the flow. Don't stick to a theme that's not work-ing. Just revamp it and go back and change a few details that nowdon't work.

6) Keep your characters true to the theme. A greedy man doesn'thand out twenty-dollar bills at the holidays. A liar doesn't worry aboutlying to his wife. A man truly in love doesn't cheat. If your theme islove hurts, the man truly in love is the one who has to get hurt. Hedoesn't hurt others.

7) Your theme is only one component of your story. Don't be heavyhanded. Don't make it a sermon. As the story unravels stay true toyour theme but be subtle.

8) On the other hand don't make it so light or veer so far off the paththat no one can figure out what the theme is. Theme speaks tocommon experiences we all share. Man versus nature. Man versushimself. Your story could have more than one theme running at thesame time. A piece about a man leaving his wife for a new womancould have the duo themes of 'the grass is always greener' and'heartbreak makes you stronger'. Concentrate on the more prevail-ing theme that works for your particular tale. Trying to support twothemes bogs down the story.

9) Symbols help the reader identify the theme. Let's say your story isabout a young woman who yearns to leave her little farm town andlive in the big city. Your theme is the grass isn't always greener andyour motif is independence. Your symbols for her dream life couldbe fashion magazines on her kitchen table, pictures of New YorkCity taped to her mirror, or bottles of bright red nail polish on her dresser sitting next to the ratty gloves she uses to milk the cows.Symbols of her current life could be piles of cow dung in the yard, asimple wooden house with fading planks, and an old dog with oneear lying on the porch.

10) Make the end justify the theme. The girl in the example abovecan't move to the city and live happily every after if your theme is thegrass isn't always greener. She's going to have to come to under-stand the real grit of city living, the value of being close to one'sfamily, and how to love herself for who she is.

One more lesson that flows out of my gym is here for my dear readers. Recently I had met with an accident due to which Ihad hurt my hands a bit. I could not ride bike again for fewdays and I could not lift heavy weights as the best flexible andsupporting parts, wrist and thumb were hit a bit. I could not ap-ply any pressure on my hands and had to be really carefulwhen anyone would even hold them accidentally. Finally whenI hit back to the gym, I did not apply any pressure on them and

just did cardio exercises for some time. After a while I had tostart with weight training, else I would completely lose my mo-tivation and energy. This weight-training would in turn applypressure on my hands' wrist and thumb. That's when I cameacross this lesson.

Since the muscles and joints hit take some time to recover, it isnot possible to dump heavy weights on them immediately andmajority of the upper body exercises cannot be done at allwhen hands are hurt. I had to do something that could help infaster recovery as well as heavy-weights handling. That's whenI started doing strengthening exercises in which you choose aweight that will cause only that much pain which you can with-stand. As the mind already knows the amount of stress appliedthe muscle gets ready to bear the strain pain.

When this exercise is repeated for regular number of repeti-tions the recovery and strengthening happen much faster.

As a result of this I could once again resume back to myweight training reasonably well and hope to recover from theexisting pain soon and move on to muscle building.

The whole lesson from this was that when you know theamount of pressure you can handle, you can apply it uponyourself for the time period and the number of times you de-cide. Every time pressure is there and you work under itthere are increasing chances of strengthening yourself, de-veloping further and raising your pressure handling thresh-old. Only under the pressure does a coal become a dia-mond. So if you can calibrate the pressure by yourself, youcan clearly chart out the plan for your growth else there isbound to be external pressure that will fall upon you and thattoo at unexpected time with unexpected magnitude for which you might not be prepared at all. So the best optionwould be to apply pressure of known magnitudes that youcan handle and strengthen yourself really well by pushingthe pressure handling capacity to the maximum so that youare strong enough to handle the external unknown pres-sures at crucial junctures of life.

Bidi kyun pita hain? (Why do you smoke?) I asked.Sardi bahut h ain sahib, daru ka paisa kahan? Bidi se hi kaamchalana padhta hain.

(The winter is merciless, and I cannot afford Vodka. Bidi is thusthe only option)School jata hain ki nahin?(Do you go to school?) Sab log school chale gaye to aap ka order kaun lega? (If everyone went to school who will take your order?)I thought if Michael joined Lucifers ranks who will save Lucifer. Aage kya karna hain zindagi main?(What do you want to doin life?) I askedNaam jab zindagi hain to zinda rahena hain itna to sahibaap ko bhi pata hoga (If it is called life I will do what everyone does live. Youshould know this sir)kitna huya? (How much is the bill?) He added in front of me in his head and replied tin so dus(310)

I had already added it before in my head and the answer wasflawless. But I was a man with ample time so to humor myself

asked him Are you sure ? What if you are wrong! He smiled again, Sahib , If you are wrong in your school youwill get a zero and then some scolding from your dad and thenagain sit in the next exam. If I get it wrong my manager willthrow me out. I dont have the luxury of mistake I finally asked If you are so witty then why are you stayinghere where there is no future? He replied Wh en did I ever say I was not ambitious. Come inanother two years I would be cooking the Afghani for you, inanother ten years I would be managing the cash. Come backSahib in another twenty years, I promise you Sahib, Inshallah,you will find your Shehezaa d running the Badshah.

AS I paid the amount and was walking back I removed myhands from the leather gloves and comforters, protecting mefrom the devil of the winter till now. The conversation with theprince set something on fire inside of me. The catharsis was sosublime that I started to sweat in the coldest winter of all mylife time, a luxurious gift only a prince could have given me.

Statutory Disclaimer: I believe the vegans and the secularists andthe pan-Indian nationalists are saints and I have no intention of offending them. If hate and revulsion are the feelings you have for my regionalism, then dont worry this story is not directly about myviews. But you need to know my stand to understand my perspec-tive.

One fine winter night when the mercury had fallen lower thanrevered Lucifer (I do revere him), my friend and I decided to in-dulge in an unholy ceremony of devouring chicken flesh and burntbread at a Muslim Joint on the other side of the Ganges namedBadshah (The King of the world ). Say what you say about Islambut one thing you cannot deny is that they boast of the best cui-sine and the best poetry on mother Earth. Food for stomach andfor thought what else does one need?

Now this was a very run down place usually thronged by the hardworking proletariat (rickshaw pullers, street vendors and laborers).

And by the laws of economics was thus very cheap. Daily suste-nance of non-veg diet is only possible if it is cost effective.

The order was taken from us by a boy no more than half a scoreof age, with a face that would have inspired Salman Rushdie topen another Midnights Children.Sahib, (as if I was Lord Curzon myself) kya loge? (what will youtake?) Naam kya hain tera? (What is your name?) Shehezaad. Jaldi de do order sahib bahut bheed hain. (My name is Prince. Hurry up with the order, a lot of people arewaiting in the queue)

As we spurted out our usual suspect of items, and he hadrecused himself inside the kitchen, I could not help but wonder,the prince and the king doing their rightful duty of serving a manwith food. How many kings and emperors of the world have per-formed this immense feat with such dedication?

After we ate to our hearts content, we went outside to wash our hands. I found the Prince in a corner smoking a bidi. He caughtmy glance smiled and came up to me.

energy, felt hurried and pressured. I inquired how her day was go-

ing. Surprisingly, she told me that her daughter was home today,very sick, and she was worried. Her daughter had not called to indi-cate if she was better. The representative had her cell phone avail-able t o receive her daughters call. Just as she spoke this concern,her phone started to vibrate. She asked me if she could take thecall. I said I would wait for her return to our call. When she cameback to our business, I could feel her relief right through the phonelines. She shared a bit about her daughter and then promptly tookcare of my concern. I thanked her and then she thanked me for myconcern. She also thanked me for waiting while she relayed, dare Isay, love to her daughter.

In every encounter I have, the answer is so very clear. It is grati-tude. Thank you for thinking and caring enough to ask how I feel. Icould palpably sense the difference in the response levels of thoseto whom I connected by simply putting myself in the position of trulywanting to know about them and what was happening in their lives,in their thoughts, and in their hearts. I felt our connections rise to

another level and another dimension. Could that dimension be theone we all crave? Is this the dimension of love?

The mundane madness of a day-to-day existence devoid of anyreal connection with each other has been debated for decades asthe source of many of societys current dilemmas. The answer iswithin us, and how we are with each other. Forever and always, theanswer is love.

For most of us, our day-to-day lives lack this word the word love.

We do not say I love you to the person whom we just met for abrief moment in the elevator, to the young lady who served uslunch, to our particularly crabby boss at work, or to the person onthe other end of a phone call. We do not speak the words I lov eyou to these people. Oh, we never could say this to strangers, letalone our boss. But during the course- of our very busy- lives, wemeet so many people and interact on so many different levels. Weget Opportunity after opportunity to express our feelings with everypassing minute of every day. How are we to respond? How are weto be in this world? What is our collective call, our collective mis-sion?

So last month, I tried an experiment. With every, and I mean every,interaction either on the phone, in email, in person, in committeemeetings, even over the radio, I asked the person I was in connec-tion with, How are you doing? Sometimes this communication wasverbal; I actually asked the question. Sometimes I whispered it un-der my breath as they spoke to me about something totally unrelat-

ed. Often I thought about it and sent it to them as a sort of a silentquery. And, with those not in my presence, it came in the form of aprayer with a surrounding of positive energy.

Last week, I phoned the city water office to inquire about our billingstatement. I thought the numbers for usage looked normal, but thecharges were higher than expected. When the service representa-tive finally picked up our call after a long wait, she obviously lacked

He needs to make a New Years resolution to find a new meal.Jack said bursting out laughing.

Elaine giggled, New Years resolution? Whats that?

Dad told me that people make a resolution to change somethingabout them each New Year.

Whats a resolution? Elaine asked.

Jack shrugged. Dont know a change I guess?

Thats kind of silly. If they need to change something, why dontthey just do it? Why would theyhave to wait until a new year starts?

Still smiling Jack shrugged again, Donno.

Hmmm. Well, I will make my New Years resolution this year tospe nd more time with you.

Jack looked at the top of Elaines head. I think you should make aresolution to wear your helmetall the time.

The Roadrunner chimed in Meep Meep!

The two children burst out in laughter.

It had been three weeks since Elaine had her incident with theskateboard ramp, landing her in the hospital and revealing a myste-rious figure watching over her that she had never been aware of.

After talking to her parents, her mother told her that it might be her guardian angel. Though, by her mothers expression, she doubtedthat her mother believed it. Regardless, Elaine had sat down andtold Jack all about the experience and just as she had, he acceptedit at face value, fascinated. Now she and Jack sat on New YearsEve on her bedroom floor eating a plate of bacon wrapped chickenthat her mother had made for them, while their parents both satsipping champagne and chatting in the next room. The two childrenwere watching Looney Tunes as Wile E. Coyote chased the Road-runner across the desert, eliciting a strong laugh from both childrenevery few minutes.

Wile E. Coyote had just had another failed attempt landing in acoyote shaped crater at the bottom of the same ravine and wasnow strapped to a missile that had wheels on it, hoping to catch the

Roadrunner this time.Silly Coyote! Hes never going to catch him! Jack laughed.

Suddenly Wile E. flew across the screen and past the Roadrunner,his head turning as the Roadrunner stared on with a blank expres-sion on his face. The coyote went another several hundred yardsand suddenly the missile exploded with him on it, a dust cloudclearing with a shocked expression on Wile Es charred face. Nat u-rally, the Roadrunner ran up beside h im and said Meep Meep ! andtook off.

Here are several other examples showing that flu vaccines do notwork for any age group:

A study published in the October 2008 issue of the Archives of Pe-diatric & Adolescent Medicine found that vaccinating young childrenagainst the flu had no impact on flu-related hospitalizations or doc-tor visits during two recent flu seasons. The researchers concludedthat "significant influenza vaccine effectiveness could not bedemonstrated for any season, age, or setting" examined.

A 2008 study published in the Lancet found that influenza vaccina-tion was NOT associated with a reduced risk of pneumonia in older people. This also supports an earlier study, published in The NewEngland Journal of Medicine.Research published in the American Journal of Respiratory andCritical Care Medicine also confirms that there has been no de-crease in deaths from influenza and pneumonia in the elderly, de-spite the fact that vaccination coverage among the elderly has in-creased from 15 percent in 1980 to 65 percent now.In 2007, researchers with the National Institute of Allergy and Infec-tious Diseases, and the National Institutes of Health published thisconclusion in the Lancet Infectious Diseases:We conclude that frailty selection bias and use of non -specificendpoints such as all-cause mortality, have led cohort studies togreatly exaggerate vaccine benefits.

Now I know youre going to be riled up about this but read these.Better yet, do your own study on how ineffective your vaccines real-ly are.

But the worst part about flu shots should cause you to tremble. Goto the CDC website and look at the ingredients. Here,http://www.cdc.gov/vaccines/parents/vaccine-decision /ingredients.html. Now, you cant tell me that all of theseare good for you, can you? Really? And you want these in your body--why?

Toxins. Thats what youre getting. Toxins that cause irreversibledamage to your nervous and immune systems. They are listed inthe CDC list of influenza vaccine ingredients that you will have tolook up.

Yes, yes, its the flu season and every newscaster is warning thismay be the worst flu season; its hitting some areas early and hard.Look it up. This is what they say. They said the same thing last year and the year before. Theyll say it next year. Same words. Watchfor it as early as October but for sure by January.

Years ago when people got the flu, they were in bed for a day or two, rested, didnt eat much (which for most people was a goodthing because of what they usually ate), drank only water, didntadd the stress of their normal days, and got back to real life withoutany problems. They had fever, chills, runny nose, sore throat, ahacking cough, muscle aches, fatigue, and didnt have an appetite.Sounds like a serious detox remedy, hmmm. Could it be that the fluvirus caused the body to turn up the immune system; the T and Bcells, the eosinophils, the monocytes from a suppressed state intoreal action?

Today were afraid of the virus and rightly so only because of m i-crobial mutations caused by antibiotics prescribed and added to thefoods we eat today. But do you realize the complexity of the humanimmune system? The immune system has more functions than weunderstand today like the sympathetic activation of the lympho-cytes, the way the compliment system functions, the cytokine activi-ty, how the memory of the immune system works, and the targetedaction of killer T cells. You dont have to know about immunologybut your body sure does.

What about all those thousands of people who die from influenzavirus? Rare. Ask the real experts, theyll tell you the truth . Mr. Tele-vision reporter gets his information from some other outfit thatwants to downplay your own body and ask you to give it up for ashot.

You give your body no respect. You eat bad food, dont drink water,live with stress, dont exercise, dont sl eep well; of course you needthe flu shot. But before you roll up your sleeve please do your homework about what you are about you are injecting directly intoyour veins.

Enthusiasm of bloodthirsty led war

in which harmony was hurled away far,

Countrymen became the prey of bloodshed,

and the whole land covered their bodies dead,

Women's wailings and children's cries of pain

remembered the glory of their dead men,

Troops behind walls shooted till their lives last

against the foe stepping towards them fast,

Noise of firing bullets, cannons around

let the hopes of people in borders bound,

And even the people for their life begged,

Although the kings fought for their self-respect,

And when everything got mixed in the land

Nobody existed till the war's end.

Nikhil Jain,Madhya Pradesh, India

War

False dreams, false people, false world

Each hand is dirty with the blood

My utmost desire to again reveal

The wonders that die long ago

The treasures about thy, regale

Fluttered in mind, in heart grow

But the desires are never ending flood


My corniest, attributes, prevails

The boat on sea, with wave it sails

No one is pure as a beautiful bud


Growing in the massive, disastrous way

Even no time to settle and pray

Walk or run, but be the best

No one cares, they always say

After every thunder rain, I am covered with mud

No time to look even if our baby cries,We, the learned are busy with infinite strife.

Disputes, quarrel, enmity everywhere is found,We cross all the limits, not with consistency we are bound.Gone are the times when no disparities were around,In todays world only richness, status and position count.

The Changing Scenario

People who ostentate their material power,Will land up nowhere except in the dark.

A man doesnt respect the feelings of others heart, Its just like how a fish is eaten up by a shark!!!

One has no right to admire the beauty of nature,When we deliberately destroy our nations stature.

For all our sabotage well regret in future, If we find no way out, we ought to face the danger!!!
