Thank you Rambabu! It is only since last year that we started celebrating Ganeshotsav in my home. Till then it used to be done by my father in law in Nashik, but he is now unable to since his old age so we have now taken up the mantle. Now on friday, I will be having Mahalaxmi also, which is celebrated in most Maharashtrian homes. There are two Mahalaxmis, Jyestha and Kanishtha, supposed to be Ganesh's sisters who come to visit him on third day of Ganesh Chaturthi, I will post pictures of the same.

Kalyani Nandurkar replied to the topic 100th B'Day Of Hussain- A Contest for you.
M.F.Husain was really not a trained artist and so he totally lacked the basic skills that an artist requires, which is strong drawing and composition. The truth, which most do not know, nor do they want to know, that he was systematically projected and promoted by some people who did not want the Indian art to prosper, the result of which was the Progressive art movement, or the more commonly known as the modern art. His fame and so-called excellence in painting is the result of extensive media portrayal. Compare his paintings with that of Raja Ravi Verma and see for yourself. The basic objective of art is to 'pick up mundane and present them beautifully and aesthetically' His art contains neither aesthetics, nor beauty.
One thing glaring jumps out from his paintings is his gross disrespect and abhorrence of Hindu religion, some thing which an artist SHOULD NEVER EVER DO. His paintings of Muslim ladies are very respectful while that of Hindu Goddesses are obscene. Why this differentiation?
Another important thing which you all might not know is that, many years ago, he started and spearheaded a petition of modern artists the purpose of which was to declare that Raja Ravi Verma was NOT an artist. He really fought tooth and nail to get that petition signed. and then years later. he had the audacity and shamelessness to accept the award from Kerala government which was named after Raja Ravi Verma himself. Speaks volumes of his so-called repute and integrity (or lack of) So in my opinion, He never was and never will deserve the honours bestowed upon him.

I wish you a happy and prosperous Ganesh Chaturti to you and your hubby and kid.

@ Shampa Sadhya, Sorry I spelt your name wrongly. In the eyes of the law all accused are innocent till proved guilty. Even a terrorist who is caught red handed is provided legal assistance to put forward his point as the law does not want to punish an innocent even if a guilty may walk free. Lawyers are not to be blamed. They are doing their duty and earning their livelihood.

By the way I am Shampa Sadhya and not Sandhya. My opinion is that if the lawyers know that the person is a hardcore criminal then they must refuse to fight their case. Well, as you or many other has explained in this thread even I too know the rule that every client must get a lawyer but I am not thinking on legal terms rather on social responsibility. You said if lawyers take my advice then many innocents will be punished but I said the lawyers must learn to refuse the criminals because they can make out who is guilty as the clients are supposed to keep no secrets from their lawyers.
Your sentiments can be easily understood, when something like the Nirbhaya case happens, we all feel the same but like each profession, the lawyers too have an obligation. Just like the doctors are obligated by the ethics and morality of their profession to treat each and every patient equally and fairly, so is the judicial system obligated to treat each person, be it a known criminal or a mere suspect to consider him innocent until proven guilty. And for that matter, the lawyers who are bound to their profession the day they don their silks, cannot refuse any person a chance to a fair trial. so we really cannot blame them for taking up such cases. What we need to abhor are the lawyers who fabricate damaging lies to destroy someone's life on behalf of their clients.
Every case makes people cry for justice against the offender .But we have to remember that there may be false allegations or the person caught may have an accomplice who too needs to be brought in and this can happen only when there is a good legal system which includes defence as well. In our eagerness to punish someone we have to make sure that the right person is caught and not an innocent person just because he happens to be there at the crime scene or some supposedly incriminating evidence has been collected. Lawyers are as good or bad as any other profession in our country and if there is a chance to make some fast buck and the same goes for judges too , I am sure a few of them will jump at the chance but not all would do that !

I doubt if a toll road would be constructed to the politicians placee and that too in remote regions ...Toll gates are constructed only on National Highways and state highways.

Just like the ways of prayer are different for different people, so is the objective. Different people use different tactics while praying, in times of need, their prayer is a request, in times of peril, it is a plea for assistance, in times of comfort, it is a simple act of gratitude, so on and so forth!
Whenever a topic of prayer and devotion comes up, one person comes into my mind - Janardhana Reddy , who was part of BSR congress party then jumped to BJP , called Bellary Baron where he owned mines, later inducted fr corruption and sent to jail, although now he is out on bail . Apparently he was a great devotee of Lord Venkateshwara and never missed his daily prayer.He must have prayed for more riches during his period of power and prosperity and later for his release while in prison now must be praying even more to get him out of the tangle he has got caught in !

I agree, the more positive aspect is what makes it even more interesting because one has the opportunity of getting the right kind of treatment if the illness gets detected in time.It is of course early days but something worth waiting for in times to come !
