Golden Years

COMPLETED 11 GOLDEN years in martial arts, years before in 1999 December is when it all started, still remember the classes, I started with Karate, the Dojo was high on Disciple and had worked with loads of "Kyias" I was very enthusiastic when I learned that our school will be conducting Karate classes after the quarterly exams. I wanted to be part of it for sure, only later I came to know that it was compulsory but it was compulsory, many boys hated it and tried to flee but I tried my best not to skip any of the classes. Later I enrolled directly under my Sensei. I was selected among the best 3 in the belt exam out 40 pulse and was part of a 10 member demo among some 30 odd students, that selection and Demo still inspires me, even today. Years seem to have passed really quickly. I had a break in between and when I came back I was in full flow, attending 2 to 3 classes a day, have spend ample time with my master, used to come to my home just to sleep. I could feel that I was transforming into a martial artitst and a good one under the guidance of my master. Teaching Kickboxing to others was a pleasure and that desire still drives me strong. Later I started learning muaythai which is even more intense even in its lighter version. Today I am qualified to teach martial arts and I am looking forward to open a club, truly one of its kind with a quality blend of martial arts, mind workouts such as Meditation, NLP and more. Looking forward to a very bright future and career in martial arts, fitness and mind workouts..Happy Practicing and Merry Christmas

Michale

Michale Jackson is back with his album "Michale" am just loving his duet with Akon. "hold my hand" which is another Michael magic on love Its said that he has composed another 100 songs which is yet to be released and he wanted it to release it after his death, so that it would be sold for a very high price and his kids can enjoy the fortune. Looking at the reach of the album which is released last week its very clear that his music which is yet to be released will be purchased at a very high price. What a cool though by Michale, "100 songs of Micheal" well then heaven can wait!! though he has composed songs in advance, his sudden death is a big lose to music BEYOND DOUBT, we lost the music which was in his mind, that is a big lose, we lost a masterpiece, we lost something very precious but for the moment lets enjoy and cherish his latest work and lets be optimistic and hope that the best of Michale is yet to come in his unreleased 100's

Hold My Hand

Belt Stall

Many marital artists have an affinity towards acquiring belts in different styles, that is actually good “katradi kai alavu kalla dadu ulaga alavu” “known is a drop, unknown is an ocean” but that shouldn't be in the form of greed. Yes this blog is about the dark side of martial arts. It is wonder full if you have a IIIrd Dan black belt in all the famous styles in the world, but to deserve it, it will take 2 third of your life. But I see some of the belts are being literally purchased in the name of 1 day to 1 week workshops, if there is a belt it should be given by obeying the law that the style or club has imposed. You can shorten the period if a student is talented or extremely talented in the lot. like some have been awarded black belts in 2 years where the normal duration is 3 which can be done if the student is worth the belt, but you cannot open a black belt stall "opened to black belts of all styles" and award 2nd Dan and 3rd Dan buy teaching them a few extra Katas, some masters are making full use of the greed in among many instructors and according to me in the subject age is never an issue people of all age would love add grades to their belt, marital arts has more zen values to it than commercial interests, commercial interests always clashes with the art values especially when the art gets popular, but this most not be exploited and definitely must not happen in marital arts because a martial art teacher is looked up as a guru, in eastern traditions like in India a master is ahead of God. so when a teacher isn't sincere he is playing with the consciousness of not just a student but with an entire generation. When it comes to belt test it should not been seen as an easy way to earn money, only those who deserved should be passed, all the students cannot pass all the time, a good club will have some students who would have failed to pass through but that message would be sent to them without hurting his heart, a student should earn his belt it should not be awarded to him by the number of classes he attended or the years he spent in the club. The Quality of black belt is important, what I mean by quality is internal, mainly kicks, when it comes to kicks many fizzle out, I have seen a number of black belts seniors and juniors who haven't mastered the kick entering into teaching, because teaching boosts their ego enormously and of course its a white colored job to earn money, I have literally seen black belts just throw their legs in the name of kicks, people will definitely watch in awe because they will be stuck in the acrobatics of the performer, my heart used to burn when I see this and that is when I made my mind that I will teach martial arts no matter what come may. Years before in Chennai I have heard of a Japanese master who had come to distribute and conduct belt test of his style's branch in the city was issuing black belts to existing black belts in all the styles, it was said to opened to black belts of all styles, many masters thronged to get certified from him because getting certified from an international Japanese master "directly" in your local area doesn't happen everyday and for the instructors who thronged in that will increase their status among the martial arts circle more importantly in their students group, the master made full use of it and charged heavily and issued 2nd, 3rd and 4th Dan black belts by giving them training in a span of 48 hours. Let the belts be earned through performance not through money, if money is the major criteria then Millionaires and Billionaires will have a black belt around their while partying, that wont be a good sight for any martial arts lover

One more, once again

I am writing this blog today just to salute Sachin Tendulkar. You have made 1.5 Billion Indians proud and millions of fans like "Sachin Austin's" dad in Australia. Thank you, Thank you and Thank you. Sachin Tendulkar today has scored his 50th Test Hundreds, many people would have never imagined this in 1989 when he went out to bat against Pakistan nor the selectors or his first Captain and present Chief Selector Krishnamachary Srikkanth would have imagined this on that day!! India's Superman, Superstar and role models for Millions of Indians has created History which no human can ever surpass atleast in the long future. Now since he has completed 50 Test Centuries and one more Test remaining in South Africa, people are now hoping that the time for him to reach 100 International Centuries his just a few months away, with the world cup around the corner. Sachin has scored more runs in the world cup than many people's International Carrier..lol and I am not sure if people have realised that this is Sachin's 6th World Cup appearance which in itself is a record, he equals Javid Miandad's world record for appearing in 6 World Cups from 75 to 96. Miandad would have imagined that his record would stand for ever :) but looking at Sachin's fitness and form he can easily carry on till the next world cup :) but there are chances that he would retire from ODI's if we win the world cup. But Ravi Shastri who has watched and analyised Sachin from Close quarters has said that if Sachin retires it would be from all forms he wont quit one by one :( I would again like to thank Sachin Tendulkar for bringing joy to Million if not Billion of people around the world, if I further continue this blog I will be forced to write all the records one by one and that may be a bit boring for some and since the list wont end cause I may continue writing for another 48 Hrs. and he may continue making new records, some more interesting fact that happened in Sachin's carrier today is that he completed 14500 Runs in Test cricket and appeared in his 175th Test match, the first man to do both again, many say his successor would be Ricky Pointing but after today's knock Pointing is 11 Centuries behind!! 11 Centuries can make a batsmen earn the tag of a Good Test Cricketer!! and some 2027 Runs behind and by the way I came to know that today is Ricky Ponting's birthday :) carry on and on master

Love

should I say thank you or should I say I love you should I say you are the greatest or should I say you are the best

The Open Secret

I am gonna explain what is the technique which is discussed in the books of law of attraction like THE SECRET. The law of attraction which has been hugely popular in the main stream media by Rhonda Brynne and her team through the movie and the book THE SECRET followed by another book THE POWER. I often wonder how can an author keep writing books on the same topic and the teachers keep on conducting new programs in the name THE LAW OF ATTRACTION. I am not talking about Rhonda Brynne here. I have read many books with the tag loa and according to me the best is THE POWER OF YOUR SUBCONSCIOUS MIND by Joseph Murphy, THE SCIENCE OF GETTING RICH by Wallace Wattles, THINK AND GROW RICH by Napoleon Hill and THE SECRET by Rhonda Brynne and more recently THE KEY TO UNLOCK THE SECRET OF LAW OF ATTRACTION and The law of attraction by Michael Losier. Many authors have written on the same topic over and over again but the fact is the ultimate secret of the loa is simple and can be explained in less than 1 page!

Step 1: Ask what you want, I know most of them will be guessing to whom? asking is step through which you make your self clear on the object what you want, it may be an object or anything else

Step 2: Feel that you have already owned it, in a sense this step is to deceive your subconscious mind, because if you can device your subconscious mind then you are through! cause what ever you make it to believe it actives that for you automatically. whether its hypnosis or law of attraction or brain washing, the key is to pacify your conscious mind and insert the commands to your subconscious mind.

"you are what you think you are"

Krishna, Jesus and Buddha and many other thinking minds like the ancient Indian saints have explained things regarding this but none of them have said things in the open.

one of the ways to deceive your subconscious mind by acting as though you have already achieved what you want. Other ways to attract things is to visualize what you want but remember to visualize from the climax of your target, never think of the route, how? it automatically happens if you impress your subconscious mind with your visualization.

Bottom line:

#understand what you want

#feel with emotion that what you want is already yours

#visualize your target as already achieved

#visualization would be more effective when you do it moments before you sleep and when you wake up

Ask and feel with emotion and that's it!! you will receive what you want with very little effort

there is no greater secret than these methods till date, but the authors continues to manipulate with words and are successful in selling their books and links on the same tag "The Law of Attraction" the secret is open secret and there is no more secret on this to be uncovered

Hypnotic and Law of attraction practitioner

Vote

I request every to vote, if you are eligible you must cast your vote, telling stupid reasons like I don't care, who cares, what is the use only shows that you are lazy, idiotic citizen living just to waste your life as a human being, you should vote at lease to avoid a fake votes in your name, after all it is the easiest way to speak your mind to the state, a single vote is not going to vote any difference but together, every vote counts, every vote can make a difference, it sends a strong message to the politicians, we are not single, together we are the state, imagine if you are in a hardcore communist or a dictatorial state where people people dream of voting their leaders, ask your Burmese friend the hardships they face from the ruling military regime or ask a Nepali friend on how tough was their protest to bring their state to Democracy from the Monarch. Hundreds and thousands of people have died in the struggle to bring democracy to their country, after realizing this how can you lazily use the voting day as a paid holiday? In case of not casting vote, I think people should be finned, if a citizen of the country can be fined upto 250 Rupees for not taking tickets in trains or buses which he travels for half an hour, he should definitely be fined for not behaving responsibly. One common thing that is been said by many is none of the politicians are fair in my contituency, in that case he can go for section 14, this should never be the reason for not going to the polls, its usually these lazy people who sit in groups and complain the government and our political system, neither they have the time to vote nor the courage to make the change. what right do they have if they have not played any part in deciding the future of their state? a voting day can be considered as holiday, you can use the time to laze around but make sure the first thing you do is to be part of the greatest democratic exercise in the world. vote, its the most simple and powerful way to show your care and anger to the government which decides what you and your next generation must be doing. Stop blaming.
Get Out AND VOTE

relation between Hinduism, Yoga and more

Posting some of the best videos on things which I always wanted to know. I knew that what we today follow as Hinduism is more than what is generally practiced today, I was told that all the rich mythological stories are nothing but pure science told in the format of stories so that it could be understood by everybody. In this video Sadguru Jaggivasudev clearly explains how of the generations have forgotten the science and have just passed on the stories, more interesting things are beautifully explained by Jaggivasudev, I will be posting more of his videos which are informative and worth sharing

Sleep

Happy to let the world know that I have been certified as a Hypnotherapist. I have the permission to conduct Hypnosis on a person (of course only with his knowledge :P). The technique which I had learned is pretty old, I guess it was used atleset a couple of decades ago, but I am keeping tracking of the present trend where "instant hypnosis" happens. Tried some of the techniques which I was taught on my friend and the result was stunning, apart from putting a subject in deep trans and giving him suggestions I was also introduced to mesmerism, Visualization which is part of Alternative Medication, an important kind of Pranayama, Vipasana Meditation of Buddha's and some different kind of Hypnosis and Self Hypnosis by my master Lavanya, I have already started collecting things of all these fields and it easily helps one to achieve a Dream, a Desire of any kind, I have choosed some of the techniques which can be used with Law of Attraction process which I am practicing, I am soon planning to conduct classes and seminars on the "deliberately designing your fate, with power thoughts", Auto Suggestion, Self Hypnosis and Visualization are all very helpful and important subjects in Law of Attraction but will be doing all this only after I have enough confidence to put anyone in Trans within seconds and I am preparing by collecting facts and experimenting some of the core subjects and results which are fabulous and definitely worth teaching for beginners and practioners of Law of Attration. The more I dig on the working of the mind the more informative things jump up!! this is my final year in Psychology and by the time I complete my course I will be a experienced practicing Hypnotic. Hypnosis helps a person to quite bad habbits, do break the limitations which keeps him back, the trick as everyone knows is quite simple, make the consious mind sleep and intract with the subconsious but the trick lies in applying the tirck on the subject cause every subject in unique and it is not really possible to hypnotise everyone!! Before learning Hypnosis like many of my friends I do had a feeling of in security with hypnosis simply because I had seen in many movies that if I am in a Hypnotised state and if anythign happens to the man who hypnotises me then I will be permenently in that state, which was not true and I came to know some of the Myths like this only after interacting with my Master, incase if the Hypnotic fails to wake you from the sleeping state you will come back to the normal state soon or will wake after having a feeling of sound sleeps that is in a couple of hours and the most important things is unless you are convinced in quitting or chaning a certain behaviour in your life the hypnotic cant help you in majority of the cases, unless you co operate Hypnosis wont work. Have plans to set up Hypnosis and Law of Attraction school shortly

Being Roman in Rome

I was really shocked to read this news from Facebook through India Group, Google to survive in China gives out a different Map regarding Sikkim and Kashmir, it shows Sikkim as an integral part of China in Google China and some parts of Kashmir also as part of China, and I was convinced when I checked the link, where as when it comes to India it has gives out completely different picture, I quoting what I got from India's Group in Facebook

Google plays a cunning game to do business in both India & China by showing two different versions of the World map. The Chinese version shows Arunachal Pradesh - an integral part of India - to be in China! Not just that, half of J&K is part of China as per Google China. This is sly of a company like Google to do such a thing to appea...se the Chinese government and not get kicked out of China. Please *share* this with your friends and tell anyone you know in the media / news channels to get it out in the public.

Some Media

an awesome caricature defining dirty journalism, I got this from the THE OUTLOOK's website and thought its worth sharing!! this caricature is very much true, this is how many media handles there space by giving a "breaking news" every day if not every hour. Some sick national news channels are religious giving out "nonsense" news non stop, they deserve to have this caricature as their LOGO :) Dhoni sharing time with his wife was headlines in many news channels and over the Internet, it shows how job less some of them are

A Pinch of Salt

I would like to teach a simple self defense technique, don't know if I can call it a full contact or a sports format method but its damn simple and very very lethal. This is my first Self defense tips that I give online :) we got hold of this technique during trying out some Judo and Jujitsu moves and to my dismay this easiest technique to attack or to release your self from your opponents lock, as I have told many times this is not the move you can follow if your are into sports format and if it all you are in sports format there wont be any need to use this cause real life fighting scenarios happen only when you practice beyond the Dojo.

So here is the technique: Imagine someone catching hold of your from behind, no matter how strong he his - there are many moves in a regular martial arts syllabus like using your heel by thrusting it to your opponents leg ?( which is really effective and I have had a positive review after my student trying it in a real life situatuaion) or raising your heal to your opponents groin, which is also a preferred move, if you think you can manage with this simple tricks then its fine, but if you are looking for another move to escape from his clutches then here it is, "simply PINCH his inner thigh" and enjoy the brat's pain :) yes that is it! a simple pinch to a mans inner thigh will cause more pain, since it is one of the most sensitive areas in the body, if you still don't believe in this try it yourself or with some of your close friends, this is the only move which I am asking you to try it on your close friends cause this causes no permanent damage, the pain is temporary. But don't forget you should be quick enough to attack him after he releases you or should be quick enough to run or to scream for help. I suggest you to pinch and as soon as he releases punch a strong blow to his chin and flew the area.

I common tip which I give out to my students is avoid going in lonely roads cause prevention is always better than cure and if it is unavoidable then practice these simple moves which is not time consuming

Holistic Teachings

venturing into Holistic teaching, though my plans for a Martial arts and Fitness club is still intact..so this is what I plan to do in the next 2 years, if "I am willing", I will be able to pull this one out with ease :) well I am sounding just like an atheist ha??
In my holistic school I plan to teach Reiki, Dhyan, Dhyan is the word I use instead of Meditation since Meditation is not the exact translation for the Sanskrit word Dhyan, may be I will be using the word "meditation" for promotional purpose, therefore I like to stick with Dhyan at the moment, apart from Reiki and Dhyan I plan to teach Acupressure, Reflexology which I am practicing and will be researching rigorously for the next one year, infact the course duration of these courses are surprisingly less, one can master these teachings be shear practice and understanding the nuance, so in brief these are the major arts which I have decided to teach in my Holistic School, Reiki, Dhyan and the different methods, Acupressure, Flower Therapy and Reflexology. I have not yet finalized on the name of my Holistic School but I plan to start teaching by the end of next year..may be in October or November so that I will have enough time to experiment and understand Reiki, Acupressure, Reflexology and Dhyan in a larger scale

The greatest risk is avoiding taking risk when risk should have been taken

Holy Creeps

A religious man who says "My religion is the only way and all others leads to hell, is a Business Man not a religious man

Requesting all the "Indian Cinema Critics"

I request ALL THE INDIAN MOVIE CRITICS to kindly think over the next time they use the phrase "Indian Movies" I am really really sad because many movie critics in mainstream televisions use the word "Indian Cinema" very very loosely. recently I was seeing a show on "60 years of Indian Cinema" in a National News Channel and I was really frustrated cause it was full of Bollywood Classics and nothing else, Today Bollywood is getting global and you can see Shah Rukh Khan being mobbed my fans even IN Europe, sadly when they watch shows similar to the "60 years of Indian Cinema" they will come to a conclusion that BOLLYWOOD = INDIAN MOVIES, which is wrong, there are Bengali, Tamil, Malayalam, Telgu, Kanada, Bojpuri and many other languages in which movies are made in our country. I am not requesting the mainstream movie critics to review movies in all these languages, which is impossible but at least movies which is worth reviewing, and movies which should be given a National Importance. If a south Indian movie can win an International award and if their panel of judges who can understand the movie there is no reason why our very own "Indian Mainstream Movie Critics" shouldn't make an attempt to review some quality South India movies and movies in other languages. because when you keep repeating the phrase "in the History Indian Cinema" a foreigner who loves bollywood will conclude that Indian Movies = BOLLYWOOD MOVIES which is really unfortunate and politically one cannot use the word "in the History of Indian Cinema" unless one has gone through movies in all the other Languages, at least the mainstream languages in which Indian Movies are made :) I conclude by requesting all the ctitics to review ROBOT (Endhiran) as a "starter". This movie really has many "The first time in the History of Indian Cinema" starting from the budget to the Academy Award winning technicians and lots of interesting facts to it. The movie hasn't released yet but I CAN ASSURE ITS THE BEST INDIAN SCIENCE FICTION till date. This movie will showcase to the whole world that there is India beyond the Vindhyas.. Jai Hind

The Logic behind Logic

Logic is a definition given by a human mind as a tool to bring in his little known knowledge to the masses mainly to convince everyone, there is more to explore, we humans are too small even to call ourselves as Nano Organisms living in the cosmos

Let peace prevail

most of the religions were formed with a good intention but now a big majority of them is in the clutches of ruthless, political, egoistic, chauvinist disciples

Still

The brilliance and the curiosity on the knack of how to do better things with a "Human Mind" is the same since B.C., that is why Arjuna had so many quires which is absolutely relevant even today!

Good Technique for sure

I confess this is one of the best technique :) no practice needed whats so ever!
Step 1: Act
Step 2: Divert
Step 3: Attack
Step 4: AND THE IMPORTANT STEP, RUN
There are 18 important moves in the ancient martial art Kalaripayattu and many believe this is the 19th step -- RUN

Necessity and the Inventions: Nailo

Necessity is the girl friend of invention, because at times it can be irritating :)

Rewinding the secret

Saw the movie "the secret" and I am reading the book too, really the secret is the best kept secret but all this had been said by the ancient Indian sages who knew the secret thousands of years ago, there is nothing in the book or video which is not in the ancient text but the author Rhonda Bryane should be appreciated for the efforts which she had undertaken and the entire crew for making this happen, because only because of the secret I managed to get a clarity of what my ancestors were trying to put over, I believe it was kept as a secret, some knowingly kept it as a secret and others were following the secret blindly, yes the secret was suppressed may be for the reason it should not be misused, the secret is worth keeping it as a secret! I am writing this blog to make an opportunity to thank Rhonda Bryane for the wonderful work she has done, I believe I attracted the video into my life. The first theory on law of attraction which I came to know was from the Author Bill Lal, ever since that day I believed in the theory but did not manage to pull it out successfully. But the secret has changed my life, it acted as an alchemy :)
But I would also like to take this opportunity to thank my ancestors and really feel proud of my heritage, who knew the secret years ago. In the ending part of the movie a quantum physicist says "the last frontier is not space, that is star trek would say, what it going to be mind" this is the base of Hinduism, Krishan in Bhagawat Gita has given lectures on this subject and this is what all the great sages and enlightened mystics of India an other thinking minds such as Buddha, OSHO, JK, Ramakrishna Paramahansa, Ramana Maharishi, Vivekananda and others were preaching in their respected era. though they dint say the secret openly (I have mentioned the reason why at the end of this blog) An other author points out in the movie that "you are that what you call god", Aham Brahmasmi, which means exactly the same "I am the Ultimate." "The mind is everything. What you think you become" said Buddha, thousands of years ago and OSHO in a documentary has questioned and answered "who am I? who? you are god, you are born, you are pure consciousness, that your the ultimate truth, the eternal soul, the deathless being, those answers can destroy your very search" the difference between the west and east is, the west is using the secret to achieve materialistic gains, so am I, the east understood the techniques and decided to go inwards again this is a common quote in OSHO's books "The Secret is a costly old wine in a brand new bottle" thank you

MEDITATION IS THE MOST WONDERFUL OR THE MOST GIFTED THING AVAILABLE TO MANKIND

Fight Short but Sweet

A good hand in boxing and some basic kicks such as front kick, Knee Kick or Roundhouse is enough to keep the big fellows in the streets at bay, while talking about a good hand in boxing it doesn't mean that you should be an expert in boxing but definitely good at some of the basic and simple boxing moves such as jab, hook, upper cut and elbow, just knowing the application of these moves wont do, anyone who searches these keywords online will know the application and effect but until you practice it very often if not daily you cannot claim to have learned it. Going through these moves wont take you more than 30 minutes from your daily. 30 Full, Quality minutes is a great investment from your everyday life, if it can safe guard you from some really vulnerable situations isn't it?

My advise and a thing which I keep repeating to myself is K.I.S.S, no don't kiss you opponent in your street, even though there are chances that he may not harm you thinking that you are mentally unfit ;) K.I.S.S is Keep It Super Simple!! a term which I read in a marital art article :) yes keep it as simple as possible, basics of Boxing Punches and a couple of kicks practiced over and over again will increase your chances of emerging as a winner in the real battle field, rather than byhearting a bunch of choreographed moves in the streets.

Have a look at this video, though I have posted it in my previous entries, I cant post a better example for this blog, check this video

Muralidharan the magician

Mutthai Muralidharan has done something something which no other bowler in the history of International Cricket can do in the next century, at least that is how I predict according to the amount of Test Cricket that has been played in these days. Starting his last test match with 792 Wickets which its self is a record by miles (previous best is 712 Wickets) Murali had set a goal to reach 8 wickets in his final test against the Might Indian Batting order. According to Murali "800 is just a number" but to his millions of fans all over the world, 800 Wickets is a statement and a story of inspiration to a generation of Lankan Cricket Lovers

No other celebrated icon in Cricket would have been so much scrutinized as much has murali because of his "illusion Chucking" bowling action, though his actions has been examined and cleared in Australia (where all these controversy started) he still continues to face the scrutinziation by some cricketers, commentators and by laymen and the man how has done his best in insulting and demoralizing his the best is the Indian Left Arm Spinner Bishin Sing Bedi. He has called him everything from a pot chucker to a javilin thrower, though he has not the only one who criticizing Murali, he has done it and sent the message to all the viewers as possible in TV shows and he has not even sparred the Indian offie Harbhajan Singh. There is a saying which goes like this "there is no treatment to Bladness and Jealously" and Bishin Singh bedi's attitude has been a classic example of that. After Murli successfully taking 800 wickets bedi had complimented Murali has a gentleman though he doesn't agree with his action but after branding him as a chucker for over a decade this compliment was like pissing in the ocean but still thank god he had the courage to call Murali a gentlemen. But things started to get ugly as the spat between Murali and Bedi started to share their views in the media soon as he gave an interview to a news channel post his retirement Murali had said that "bedi should look himself in the mirror" and he was a very ordinary bowler, had he been during in the present era he would have been smacked effortlessly. Murali's action has be cleared by ICC and there no one is going to take away his wickets away. Bedi who seems very restless, may be because of the praise the present day spinners are getting these days!! had claimed that chucking is even worse than match fixing, yes it is very true chucking is indeed worse but what we have to look here is what the report suggests about his bowling action.

Very few people knows that Muralidhran has different body anatomy, all his three brother share an incredibly flexible wrist and Murali in particular has an slightly rigid forearm and a flexible shoulder as well, a combination of these will naturally make is action like a chuk but the fact is because if wrist, fore arm and shoulder it creates and illusion that he chucks the ball with effort, the following video which I have posted will in detail explain you about what is what about his action It is okay for a layman to accuse his because of his action but it is irresponsible from a legendary former cricketer like Bishin Singh Bedi to still critizise Mural for his bowing action, no sensible critic of the game will continue to this kind of non sense in spite of clearance from ICC and after explaining the reason for his bowling action. In this video Ravi Shastri has brilantly explained what is what in Mrualidhran's action and former Australian Batsmen Michal Slatter has given his testimony on Murlai's bowling action, thank God I came across this video or else even I would have been in a dialema over my analysis with Muralidharan's action and most probably would have ended by both supporting and criticizing his action. Have a look at this video before making your final decision over the action. Lets all hope that Bedi comes out of his ego or wrong analysis or at least let him prove that his is right. I even once remember once beshin singh bedi saying that after taking a wicket the Indians are celebrating too much that it makes one wonder like the bowler celebrates like "how did I GET THE WICKET

To be or not to be

Burqa is getting set to be banned in France. People from all over the world are in a debate on and off the television sets criticizing the French government, the government has already banned the use of religious symbols in educational institutes, symbols such as cross, scarf and head bands,through there are quite a large number of people supporting the ban, mainly the people in France. I would say it needs a gutsy administrative group to make such a decision at this point of time. I see Burqa has been a symbol of self imposed exile status chucked to a women, many disagree with but its an individuals ulitmate right to do what he and she thinks is right but what is the message a women give out when she wears a burqa?. Is'nt it a clear symbol of a male chauvinism, even though some feel that "Burqa prevents women from harassment and it is done on safety grounds" but how can anyone say that today? How rude to say that? for how long should a women be in a protecting gere? for the next 100 years? 200 year ? or another century? if there is some problem for the women in the society that issue should be addressed and soughted out, instead we are turning a blind eye to the problem by just looking one side of the problem. the root cause should be deleted, cutting the branches will only make it strong.

There is no second opinion on the fact that women needs protection in a society but burqa is definitely is not the answer. I am glad that at least everybody is talking about the burqa. When there are hundreds of people saying that you cannot force a women not to wear something, the people should also remember that there are places in the world where wearing burqa is compulsory, there should be more attention given to that issue. We should respect women as they are, you cannot cage her like a bird for the sake of safety, a bird should be free to fly and face its own life, to our convince, we cannot keep a bird in the cage, we should have the time to let it roam free and take care or else we should never own a bird. There are women who feels comfortable in wearing a burqa and it is because they have been so much influenced with the conditioning and the information passed on to them in ages that they feel it is mandatory, let them continue that way. Thank God it is not mentioned in the Quran that Burqa is compulsory had it been that way then a bigger part of the women will be in a self imposed exile for the rest of their lives. Every women should be given equal rights and nothing should divide them from doing what a man can do in today's society, especially on the basis of religion. A lady during the debate in a T.V said "The phrase be Rome in roman simply cannot be accepted because the world has civilized a lot today" very true but if there should be no compulsion in banning a burqa then there should be no compulsion in forcing a lady to wear a burqa as well. By Nature's Law the only place they lack while comparing to men is physically but the mental weakness is caused by many holy men who have down the ages seen women only as a second fiddle. goddamnit

Don't Fight

A friend of mine asked what will I do if someone attacks from behind? this is a question which I was asked the most number of times on Martial arts and he went on and asked what will I do if some one points a gun on you?.. well there is little or nothing can be done in a similar situation except to hope for the best, through there are a new bread of Martial arts which promises to defend even attacks from gun? I hope you would have seen it and the impression given over it is "Practical" I personally believe it only creates a false sense of security in you. It should be appreciated for the fresh outlook which it has managed to pump into Martial arts but coming back the question can one really defend against Guns and other lethal weapons? if you ask me, the answer is no!! but then What is the point in learning Martial arts if one cannot defend himself against Guns? I believe there is a point in learning Martial art in spite of some of the loop holes which it cannot manage. In General a Martial artist is looked as a "Hero" and a black belt is glorified as a Super Human, nothing less than that (ask any black belt about the reception he gets when he reviles his identity) I have personally seen some black belts who are incapable of fighting outside there Dojo, I have even seen some run, but hold on I advise my students to run as well, because I don't dub anyone as a Super Human or creative a false sense of security, cause each every person who comes to me to learn some techniques or even to get my tips on Martial arts are valuable to me. So only advise them about what can be practically done. 1. if you are alone and if there are a dozen of them ready to charge at you (if this is the case then seriously check your character :) ) the best option is to talk with them, try to start a dialogue, try pacifying them and ask them the reason. if there are half dozen guys preparing to take on your then it should be relating to some action which you have done in the near past. cause there is little chances of half a dozen bugglers waiting to empty your pockets, it wont happen unless you are the richest man in the continent :) I would suggest my team to try talking out with them but there is no need to panic (I know its easier said than done) there are methods to deal with a panic situations which we will discuss in another blog. Never let them know that you are taken by surprise, try solving the issues without getting into a brawl, always remember that you cannot spend more time in the streets facing the counter of attacks of their gang, even if you thrash them as the roughs can, but there are situations where there is not place to hold dialogues and fighting is the only way to move forward, like in case of theft or being assaulted, some of your friends are attacked by a group of people, or if a violent mob catches us when you are least expected but unless there is a need never invite for a fight, fighting is definitely no the first option, don't let you ego over take the situation and don't let you panic to surrender yourself, if possible you can also flee from the location that is if there are half a dozen of them with stuffs to Rock you! but you cannot afford to run all time, at time you might be with you friends and family, if you have practiced you moves and if it is in your muscle memory then trust me there is nothing to worry, but if you are trained to win just for sporting medals then you yourself will come to know who was better after the fight.

So coming back to the story, I don't advise my students to brave a gun or knife, in some classes I have seen a Senior master explaining on television that "A guy can swing a knife in only 4 ways and we will teach them how to block and counter attack them" according to me never set you frame of mind on the fact that a guy can swing his knife only in 4 possible ways!

And what is the point in learning martial arts if the it cannot be applied all the time??
Answer is: What is the need of military personals trained for years when a countries has N-Bomb?

Like any other stream Martial arts too as its on complications and minus but its always better to learn something rather than facing the streets empty handed but it would be better if that "something" is realistic and easy to apply more importantly not to "cinematic"

The Churches, what do they do

The Da Vinci Code

Da vinci code is an awesome movie which I came to see only recently. I was desperate to get my hands on DVD but for some strange reason very much like the movie itself I was able to see it only 7 years after its realize. though I knew that it was a kind of Anti Church movie (which was the main reason I wanted to grab the DVD) I dint knew the exact content of the movie until I saw it myself. Dan Brown has proved that he is the master of suspense at least in this present era, my friends told me that the book far better than the movie itself!! but I have no patience to read of fiction so I decided to stick with the movie itself.

The movie was widely criticized by Christians mainly the Catholic part of them. The Vatican condemned the movie and hundreds of Fathers asked their followers to boycott the movie for "Inaccuracies in the movie" but Dan Brown has sticked to his content and in his words he has said

"99 percent of it is true. All of the architecture, the art, the secret rituals, the history, all of that is true, the Gnostic gospels. All of that is … all that is fiction, of course, is that there's a Harvard symbologist named Robert Langdon, and all of his action is fictionalized. But the background is all true."

Now that seems to be a bizarre claim by the author, it shakes the very foundation of Christianity. It show Jesus and Mary as companions in other words husband an wife!!!!!!!!! This particular information is said when the an Old Man, Sir Leigh Teabing a Grail Historian (Ian McKellen) explains a Da Vinci painting of the last supper to sofie (the last heir of Jesus Christ, not relived then) that what people think to be as John is actually Mary!! and this is only the begin of the bashing scenes which is later seen in the movie thorough out. I wonder how a religious Christian Family would have watched the movie in theaters!!

Dan Brown later explains in the movie how Christianity was formed out of pure violence, forcing, killing and destroying people who where not following their faiths and how free thinking women were killed because of their anti church attitude. Though I had some knowledge on how Christianity started to evolve in the beginning the claims which I saw in the movie stunned me but confirmed my sources
It also said that a secret agent formed by the Vatican is on the run to destroy Jesus' heir apparent and they are committed to kill them so brutally that even their DNA doesn't exist. In a particular scene when the movie nearing climax, a Father asked if the killing of the hear isn't a crime for the which the father replies. Jesus sacrificed his life to well being of other humans in earth (not the exact quote) in sense telling that if Jesus had sacrificed his life there is no harm in killing the heir apparent.

As the Vatican tries its best to find the heir there is a parallel society which is committed to save the heir but the highlight of the movie is the heir himself/herself is not aware of the fact that he is part of the Royal Legacy of Jesus Christ. The only thing which is said to be fiction is the part played by Tom Hanks as a symbologist, who finally finds out who the real heir is but since he is not that Genius he finds the help of an old friend Sir Ian McKellen who is a British Grail Historian is too interested into exploring the mysteries. He believes that the secret should be reveled so that the whole world can be freed from the clutches of the Church and their monopoly in the society.

This is one of the best movies you will ever see if you are ardent fan of Thrillers and Suspense but the movie can be equally disturbing if you are a religious Catholic Christian and my deeply cause a wound in your heart as the movie deeply shakes the foundation of Christianity and says that the most famous story ever told is lies!! so decide it yourself as most of them would have watched the movie. I believe in Dan Brown's version on Christianity since there is a high possibility of his "Fiction" to be true. Though I am almost a decade late in writing the review of a movie. I feel the author Dan Brown, Writer for the movie Akiva Goldsman along with Dan Brown, Director: Ron Haward, Actor: Tom Hanks and Audrey Tautou, Producer Brian Grazer, Ron Howard again and John Calley along with other co actors Ian McKellen, Alfred Molina, Jürgen Prochnow, Paul Bettany, Jean Reno and others have done a good and braved the curse of their churches and the people behind the scens ofcourse without them nothing would be been completed.

Full marks to the crew for making the most controversial movies of our time and thank Ron Haward especially for directing this wonder! it may be taken to market on the controversies but still worth applauding

Bravo Girl

Kudos to the little girl, this must inspire many girls in the city!! watch this martial art kid (check out her uniform when she enters) makes the man who comes to assault her RUN for his money. Have a look and Get Inspired

A glance from the Important Aspect of Indian Histroy

This video will show a glimpse of what the Ancient Indians were capable of, some brush it aside as Mythology, but after having some close look at the evidence provided in videos such as this and after coming across various books and other materials to support the "Myths" such as this one giving some very very vital informations the Vimanika Shastra (Science of Aeronautics) from Archeological Sites, its hard to ignore them as pure myths. This is just the tip of the Ice Berg. I will be blogging more on things related to such mysteries, for the moment, enjoy this video. So that when the next time you brush aside something as pure myth, make sure you are very sure

Make Way or get Knocked Out, Kyiokushin Karate

I love Kyokushin Karate, the brute force which they produce and demonstrate in their Tournaments are spectacular, in spite of avoiding the boxing punches they are lethal and more than all these clips are very motivating. I take this opportunity to thank every who has posted Kyokushin clip in Youtube. The stories, legends, Images and the Videos of Mas Oyama and team will surely inspire many generations to come. Thank you for the inspiration Master Mas Oyama and to hundreds of Sensei's, Sempai's and Shihan's who are dedicated to Kyokushin. This is what a Martial Art practiced in a Tradition Way with full contact can cause. Mas Oyama who is the Chief Founder of Kyiokushin Kai is no more among us but he through his works has the dynamite to ignite Millions of youngsters who want to take up Martial arts. Mas Oyama is consedered as one of the strongest person to ever walk in the planet! IF YOU ARE SENSITIVE TO VIOLENT CLIPS THEN DO NOT WATCH

Long Live Boxing

Testimony to of a full contact practitioner, this will happen only if your practice it in a full contact way, the boxer might have got some heavy blows in his training sessions and would have been down with injuries but its all worth it, if your are completely trained to win medals in a sports tournament then you will end up being one among the 3!! Long Live Boxing

In the Name of Almighty

The easiest thing or one of the easiest thing in the world according to me is convert a religious person into a fanatic, trust me its not that difficult task but there should be one criteria, he should be "religious" to the best of my knowledge no atheist has ever killed a bunch of people or burned an entire city or raped someone because he or they doesn't believe in what he believes in, existence of God is an entirely different debate. Only very recently I came to know the content of the "satanic verses" by Rushdie, astonishingly the book is very very head of his times, decades before religion mixed up with extremism. May be he smelled the rat before most of us! The book is very relevate today.

Religion has to be considered as an interpretation of something unknown, from different Geographies but if One decides to take it seriously then he will end up to be an nuisance to others because today many world religious BODIES are closely mixed up with politics and like the chaos theory which says even the fluttering wings of a butterfly is connected with violent volcanic eruptions, these members elected to the high religious status is confusingly and beyond doubt connected with international politics. So if you are religiously following the words of you religious head who is present today, then there are high chances that you are politically driven. I may sound like a cynical hypocrite but sicne this is a serious issue, I am okay even if my reputation as a "nice man" is hurt, I am stating are some raw facts!

Its a popular belief in South India that St.Thomas visited some parts of South India and have even made some Crosses with his bare hands, he is considered as the man who started preaching Christianity in India but then in the year '03, Pope the head of Catholic Church, considered as the most powerful religious head visited Pakistan and stated that St.Thomas has never gone beyond Western India during his days! "What the HELL?" many Christians who have heard this then would have asked to themselves, there are millions of people in India who believed and still believes that St.Thomas visited India! any one with a business minded or even with common sense can easily understand the reason for pope's shift, his present need may be is to get more people into his religion in the "Western India" now Pakistan!! there are very little religious heads who can act without political pressure and work with doing politics. The example of pope's shift is just some of the example, there are many bizarre stands and claims claimed by most of the powerful religious heads, they some how are not able to stick to the basic rules of a religious head, to renounce, that seem to be last word in the agenda and the first word while giving out advises to the masses, today world extremists are highly motivated through religious texts whether they are interpreting or misinterpreting is a different issue.

One major reason which I think is the reason behind religious hatred is when one follows a religious text he becomes so immersed in it and believes that

"who ever is not with the religion is against the religion."

Sadly a religious text doesn't mention the existence of an other religion, the people who wrote the text would have never dreamed that connecting to people will be so easy though every religious person believes the people who wrote the scriptures knew everything. Had they know "everything" they could have avoided millions of deaths in the name of God. But since it was human beings who wrote things for the betterment of the society (though I don't completely agree with what many scriptures suggest) they never managed to foresee that world will shrinked to size of Giga Bytes and Tera Bytes one day.

These Scriptures should be seen in poetic view and some parts of it should not and cannot be judged with an analytical mind, comparing one with an other and selecting the best wont give a solution. Even if the whole is converted into a single religion the problem won't end.

Religion lies in the eye of the beholder, pretty much like "beauty" if you fight over the superiority over a religion and claim yours is the best it is pretty much like claiming

"the mirage which is visible to my eyes is the only one!!"

Educated people and people with common sense are also not able to sense or look though this prism. Heaven and Hell are not any geographical places located on the outskirts of the Orbit, Heaven and Hell is what we make out of our life now and here, if we are not able to understand this simple concept and live together than we are not worth having our 6th sense. We will easily fall prey and continue to live our life flirting with danger and end our lives being a pawn in the hands of the evil who is not in hell but very much present in our modern society. Fortunately or unfortunately language is the only source of communication and I can tell only to "THINK" THINK AND THINK"

if lord is the almighty he will do things to protect himself there is no need for us to kill our fellow beings to satisfy the almighty.

Another sorry state which is embedded with today's general psyche is punishing your friend for the mistakes done by you, it is considered as the best revenge, I guess the universal or the religious brotherhood has been misunderstood. At least educated and thinking people should understand the politics which happens behind the scenes. Religion should be a very personal relationship between you and the maker and it should never be carried on your sleeves, at least for the peace and harmony of the society. Its up to us to understand the trap, we should not fall prey to the moves of politicians and religious theories. Killing or hurting innocents for god's sake is utter foolishness, God is no racist to separate people on the basis of colour, place of birth or even faith. Hating itself is a human nature not God's way of responding, The almighty has nothing to prove and nothing to show, its always the people who interpret things in the best chaotic manner for vested interest and do things on blind faith, if killing a sect of people is seen as a way to please lord then he must be the biggest racist, sadly that is how many people believe. bombing and killing innocents is answer to nothing but it only raises more question on how religion has indirectly spoiled humanity!! of course through misinterpretation that is why I say indirectly. You can trust a man who says "My Way or No Way" but think twice when a man says "My Way is the ONLY WAY and all the others lead to Hell" If I have an option to label the religious conversions, I will suggest the above caption to label them

now to some really really lighter moments

Nothing to write about this blog, just to make you laugh

My Club, My Home

My long time passion Martial arts, ever since I saw Bruce lee walking on the wall in the climax fight of Enter the Dragon when I was 4, I was hooked but couldn't learn Martial arts because I was too young, later I pursued my dream when I was 10 and took it seriously when I was 16. Since then I always wanted to teach, teaching something new to an other person was always a great feeling. Now after so many years and experience in Martial arts I want to run a club of my own and another main reason which strongly made me to dream about this is after looking at so many MARTIAL ARTS INSTRUCTORS, I always felt I can do better than them, I always felt that my quality is better than them and seeing them always made me upset..lol. but unlike many of them I want this to be a realistic self defense club, I say realistic because I sincerely believe that most of the martial art techniques which one learns in the traditional way helps very little in a real life fighting situation. Thank god I am into Kickboxing which is very realistic with no fancy moves, the techniques simple, straight and mainly practical which can be easily converted to a muscle memory move because unless its in your blood you can do nothing but freeze in fear in "Real situation" the moves should be practiced in such a way that it is in tune with your unconsciously and that is the also another reason why I decided to add more flavors in my club, apart from Kickboxing and realistic self defense techniques I am going to teach Aerobics, Cardio workouts and Yoga Asanas to get people in shape without taking any pills but of course with some quality diet and let me remind you that I am qualified to teach all of the above arts :) so that makes it a clean, quality, crisp blend of Self defense and Fitness and that is not the end, I have started learning NLP, which I think is a great thing to uncover our true potential and the combining that with Meditation I will be able to produce a great package Mind Workouts which is more important than anything else, a good mind can achieve anything it targets but the complication is in making the mind "good" even if we are to uncover one third of our potential from our mind we can do "wonders". Wonders is a word which is often used to describe something great, but when I say "wonders" here I really "wonders'' and with some more quality arts to add, my club will be a combination of self defense, fitness and fitness to mind. I will be into training NLP only after I am completely qualified to do so, which might take some time and I think I will be able to complete my dreams in a span of 3 to 4 years from now. By the time I will be having more experience in Martial arts, fitness and in NLP and more importantly I will be enrolling in the Reebok Fitness Instructors course which will give me a better idea on fitness and Cardio workouts. Arts which I plan to teach in my club is Kickboxing, Aerobics, Cardio Workouts, Yoga Asanas and Meditation and NLP initially I will be starting in my dear Madras and then to Pudhucherry and then all over
