Beloved (What is it !?)

-

Going over the low flame

As the gentle rousing smell wafts

My sorrow drifts away

And evokes sweet memories every day


Tossed with mustard

Garnished with curry leaves

Add sugar to it

My sweet Kesari! 


Soft and comforting

Right from my mom's warm hearth

Beloved UPMA, you are truly mine!


This poem is dedicated to Upma-lovers around the world (including me!)

According to Donald Rumsfeld there are four situations which can explain our response or reflex to a situation, namely 1) Known-Known 2) Known-Unknown 3) Unknown-Known 4) Unknown-Known (At first glance all of them seem nonsensical, but let me explain further :D) Known-Known You know the fact that you know. You are able to produce the same results over and over again. Known-Unknown  You know the fact that you don't know or don't understand. You jump from one field to a completely different field and your mind is just....BLANK... Unknown-Known You yourself are not aware of the fact that you know.

It does not judge its citizens on the grounds of caste, religion, gender, region, or language. Being the second most populous country in the world, almost more than half the population (city dwellers) do not exercise their right to vote. Then how do the political party get their power to rule? The reason behind this is village life. They are the ones who vote because the candidate has promised them something in return like decreased agricultural taxes, improvised machinery for making their life simpler etc. If we make them write exam, then they will become hesitant to write the exam just to vote as they will be afraid that they might fail.
