The Saga of Yakshagana Samaga is no More

Malpe Ramadasa Samga is no more. this is not a news for the Yakshagana lover's. Yes. He will be never no more.

I have seen him personally. I tried to capture his real artistic aura through My lens. Up to some extend I can say I am successful.

We have lost one more Icon in Yakshagana field. Just three days back we have lost theater artist Ananda Ganiga....

I don't know really whats wrong with the nature.

My heart felt tribute the great artist.

Quite Interesting Please Read

A 29 year old,now an Air Force Security Forces Sniper, was watching a
road that led to a NATO military base when she observed a man digging
by the road. She engaged the target (i.e. she shot him).

It turned out he was a bomb maker for the Taliban, and he was burying
an IED that was to be detonated when a Canadian patrol walked by 30
minutes later. It would have certainly killed and wounded several
soldiers.


The interesting fact of this story is the shot was measured at 725
yards! (Folks, that's a shot longer than seven football fields!). She
shot him as he was bent over burying the bomb. The shot went through
his butt and into the bomb which detonated; he was blown to pieces.
And the last thing that came out of his mouth .. Was his ass!


The Air Force made a motivational poster of her:

That is Canada !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!





If that had happened in India,

the following would be the aftermath.

1. J& K state declares hartal and violent demonstrations follow.

2. Civil Right Groups demand an enquiry.

3. Teesta Setalvad says the man was just answering nature's call and
files a case against Modi accusing him of ordering the fire.

4. Hussain will draw a bare butt to honour the slain victim.

"LEFTISTS" will hail Hussain's freedom and artistry.

5. Barhka Dutt, Rajdeep Sardesai, Arnab Goswami and others

debate for a week if it was right to fire at the butt.

6.The Airforce sniper faces departmental enquiry and suspension.

7. Manmohan loses a night's sleep and declares a compensation of Rs.10
lakhs to the victim's family.

Latest update after Swiss Bank has agreed to disclose the funds&.

Our Indians' Money - 70, 00,000 Crores Rupees In Swiss Bank

1) Yes, 70 lakhs crores rupees of India are lying in Switzerland banks. This is the highest amount lying outside any country, from amongst 180 countries of the world, as if India is the champion of Black Money.

2) Swiss Government has officially written to Indian Government that they are willing to inform the details of holders of 70 lakh crore rupees in their Banks, if Indian Government officially asks them.

3) On 22-5-08, this news has already been published in The Times of India and other Newspapers based on Swiss Government's official letter to Indian Government.

4) But the Indian Government has not sent any official enquiry to Switzerland for details of money which has been sent outside India between 1947 to 2008.. The opposition party is also equally not interested in doing so because most of the amount is owned by politicians and it is every Indian's money.

5) This money belongs to our country. From these funds we can repay 13 times of our country's foreign debt. The interest alone can take care of the Center s yearly budget. People need not pay any taxes and we can pay Rs. 1 lakh to each of 45 crore poor families.

6) Let us imagine, if Swiss Bank is holding Rs. 70 lakh Crores, then how much money is lying in other 69 Banks? How much they have deprived the Indian people? Just think, if the Account holder dies, the bank becomes the owner of the funds in his account.

7) Are these people totally ignorant about the philosophy of Karma? What will this ill-gotten wealth do to them and their families when they own/use such money, generated out of corruption and exploitation?

8) Indian people have read and have known about these facts. But the helpless people have neither time nor inclination to do anything in the matter. This is like "a new freedom struggle" and we will have to fight this.

9) This money is the result of our sweat and blood.. The wealth generated and earned after putting in lots of mental and physical efforts by Indian people must be brought back to our country.

10) As a service to our motherland and your contribution to this struggle,please circulate at least 10 copies of this note amongst your friends and relatives and convert it into a mass movement.
