Vijit's Opinion

  Tenga Kola Manga Tholi as a title would be a tricky one for non malayalees, but any malayalee (People born in Kerala or having roots in Kerala, who speak the malayalam language) would definitely had a smile on their face immediately after reading the title of this blog post. For non malayalees I will definitely explain it. Before that I would like to say thank you to everyone who visited my blog yesterday to check out my Day 3 Doodle . Few of you have appreciated it by replying to my Whatsapp status and some of you have liked my tweet with the blog post. I hope it did inspire you to think about trying out something that you have been putting on the back burner due to your false belief that it is difficult or too late to try.  Now coming back to the blog title. Tenga Kola Manga Tholi literally translates to bunch of coconut and peel of mango. However, actually it is a malayalee way to ridicule someone who is uttering some nonsense. Now wh...

Day 2 of the Daily Doodle Challenge, I had mentioned about changing the way one goes about life and that if you continue to take familiar paths, you will end up at familiar places.  It is such a great coincidence that day 3's blog post is an apt continuation to that point. I had no clue until evening as to what would be my doodle for the day. I was just going through some youtube videos about doodles and drawing when I ended up watching Graham Shaw's youtube video about " Why people believe they can't draw - and how to prove they can | Graham Shaw | TedxHull ". Today's doodle is something I learnt from this youtube video. I recommend watching this video and try for yourself. It is truly inspiring. This video is not just about making people realize that anybody can draw but also about how we tend to limit ourselves due to false beliefs. In order to do any task which seems unfamiliar or difficult, the willingness to learn and try something...

Today is the second day of the Daily Doodle Challenge. I started my day talking to Lord Shiva, the three eyed one. I offered my prayers and sought guidance. In the course of the day, events that happened helped me realize that great things never come from comfort zone. One has to let go the shore and not get bogged down.  When life doesn't happen the way you want, you need to change the way you go about life. If you continue to take familiar paths, you will end up at familiar places.  The waves of uncertainty I will tide, I am not the one to hide.  To think you are a loser is a sin, when you are actually born to win .

Today I decided to take the Daily Doodle Challenge (DDC) to capture my thoughts through a doodle. I plan to doodle about that thought of the day that sticks out prominently in my mind. I will also aim to ensure that like my attempts to stay positive through my blog post, my doodles will also be about bringing out the positive thoughts of the day. I will also attempt to see the funny side of things through my doodle. Day 1 of my blog it was about the thought that we are just a month away from taking the leap into the leap year. I also plan to doodle using my left hand (though I am left handed, I have been trained to write using my right hand). So, the whole idea is to try something different. When nothing goes right, go left. :-) It is also an attempt to hit two targets with one arrow. I have been struggling for quite some time to  come up with blog topics to write about. Doodling will help me achieve two things. One, help me to improve my drawing skills. Two, trigg...

Today was one of the most dramatic day in Indian politics. Uncertainty of who will be Chief Minister of Maharashtra came to an end with Devendra Fadnavis taking oath. However, looking at the headlines of all newspapers, it is but natural to think that I might have told a lie here.  Events until yesterday night gave an impression that Shivsena, Congress and Ncp will form the government. The twist seems to be  a game plan of Amit Shah wherein Devendra Fadnavis along with support of some faction of Ncp Mlas led by Ajit Pawar ended up staking claim for government formation. There maybe more twists in store on the floor of the house. No matter what happens next, the biggest loser has been Shivsena. They did not behave maturely and the over confidence shown by them led to their downfall. They ditched a pre-poll Alliance for which they will suffer at the hands of voters in next election.  I as a voter am not happy with the turn of events. Shivsena'...

My last blog post was about Modi and this one too. I had mentioned in that blog post that he continues to surprise like always and he has proven that statement right once again. Union Home Minister Amit Shah moved a bill in the Rajya Sabha to bifurcate Jammu & Kashmir into two Union Territories Jammu & Kashmir and Ladakh. He announced that the UT in Ladakh will have no legislature like Chandigarh while the other UT of Jammu and Kashmir will have a legislature like Delhi and Puducherry.  Change is possible if there is a will to change. All governments of the past stated that Jammu & Kashmir was, is and will remain the integral part of India. However, it is only Modi who made that possible in a practical way by making Jammu and Kashmir a Union Territory of India. Jammu & Kashmir is now truly an integral part of India. I do not understand why Congress is opposing this move. My question is that if this was so easy, why did it take so many years to g...
