Tamil, Tug-of-war and Tenni-Koit...

Long time since the last post. There is no apparent reason for not blogging and there is none for getting back.

Couple of things which caught the attention

· One airline passenger detained in some US Airport because at least one fellow passengers thought he is a terrorist suspect. Reason: He was speaking in Tamil over his mobile phone.

· Indian Government has sanctioned INR35Lakhs for promotion of Tug-of-War as part of Sports Promotion Budgeting! Tenni-Koit got 25L as well!!

By the way, Bangalore is really a nice city if it is allowed to be! It did take a state-wide ‘Bandh’ to realize that. The city roads were deserted and it was indeed a different city with lesser traffic. Can understand why people once loved this place.

People in US are too sensistive now-a-days and the culture here is changing. I would have no problem with the incident if it was accompanied by a sorry at the end when they realized he was harmless. Make him say that he won't talk in foreign language at the airport on a mobile is just plain absurd and racist.
It's tragic that things have to come to a grinding halt to enjoy a city
