Republic India turns a Senior Citizen today - We celebrate our 60th Republic Day

We have come a long way in the Last 60 years of being republic and almost 63 years of Independence. From being a country out/or still in a state of a turmoil, perceived buy many as a poor country not capable of standing on its own feet to now being called the rising power, a rising economy with one of the highest Growth Rates in any democratic country.

The big question in most our minds is where will INDIA be in the next decade. Will it go into retirement and grow slower or Grow with vigor to a Industrialized country competing if not beating the other economies. Not continue to be called a developing county but a Developed one. Practice Equality and up-liftment of the poor not by communist means but using good governmental scheme and policies as powerful tools. Creating a Ideal country incorporating the good virtues of Communist China and the Liberal America. In today's era where Cloud computing, need based processing / resources is in, its about time we moved away from Caste Based politics and reservation to move into a need based model. Its about time we stop Discriminating people on on basis of caste, these caste based reservation only acts as a Discrimination Tool.

Visiting Gorur Ramaswamy Iyengar's Gorur

Many know Gorur Ramaswamy Iyengar as a freedom fighter, And many others know him as a writer of his famous book "Amerikadalli Goruru" but he holds a special place in my heart for his book "Namma Oorina Rasikaru".
When my friend suggested that we go to his native Gorur, Although the name ringed a bell somewhere in the corner of my mind, My conception was still of a laid back village in the outskirts of Hassan. Even when the Name of Gorur Ramaswamy Iyengar came up in the conversations when I was there or when this house was pointed out to me, it did not strike me even once of the connection. It only strikeed me in my sleep today :) (Even after years Indians remember the Name of hero's and heroines of popular films but not the name of the directors)

I was introduced to this book, "Namma Oorina Rasikaru". almost a Decade ago thanks to our Education System (I had very limited exposure to Kannada book / literature in the Educational framework in which I studied),Only a handful, 3 to be exact choose to study this book. With my command over the language not being good, any book would have been ideally forgotten
and buried for good but this book was still holds a place in my rack and my memory. Me being brought up mostly in the city this book gave me a glimpse if the tranquility of Village life, giving each individuals in the story a different and interesting characters, and even giving Non living characters life (You feel that the Bus is actually playing a character in the book, Where the bus even plays the part of a Clock, How conductors and postmans in gorus / villages wre treated at the time.....). The book easily transforms us into this interesting village. Although my exposure to Kannada Books is not even a handful, I could easily consider Gorur's story telling strengths in Kannada to be as good a Jeffery archer in English.
