'TOKE ' remembered me the story ' Mark of Vishnu '

The book titled 'TOKE ' remembered me the story ' Mark of Vishnu ' written by Kushwanth Sing .For me, its a  story on the belief and superstitions of Indians and how when these superstitions are put to practical test, they backfire- at times fatally.A good book, written in the usual Kushwant Singh style. Simple to read and understand, but holds a deep meaning which requires patience to understand. I first heard the short story in my school days . English teacher narrated the story in his own style ( live-less and having no emotions in his face , that made me angry towards him) . After that I read this book in my graduation days. It was a story of a illiterate and superstitious brahmin used to fed snakes in the name lord vishnu. Ironically at the last part of the story this brahmin got bitten by the above told snake and died soon.

Toke , the fiction by Jugal Mody is highly techie because he used to say computer jargons. Its quiet interesting to read this book. BoVine island remembered me of the V-mark , the brahmin used to put on his forehead.

Any way the book is quiet interesting to me......

An Exclusive Interview with Haritha . First Rank Holder ( ICS )

ഇന്ത്യന്‍ ഭരണകൂടവും ജനാധിപത്യവും പരസ്പരം എതിര്‍ദിശയില്‍ സഞ്ചരിക്കുകയാണോ? ഇന്ത്യ ഇപ്പോള്‍ ഒരു പ്രതിസന്ധി ഘട്ടത്തിലാണോ? സമീപകാലവിവാദങ്ങളുടെയും യാഥാര്‍ഥ്യങ്ങളുടെയും പശ്ചാത്തലത്തിലായിരുന്നു ചോദ്യം. 

ഒറ്റനോട്ടത്തില്‍ ഏതൊരാള്‍ക്കും 'അതെ'യെന്ന് ഉത്തരം പറയാന്‍ തോന്നാവുന്ന ചോദ്യങ്ങള്‍. എന്നാല്‍, ഒരു മലയാളിപ്പെണ്‍കുട്ടിയുടെ മറുപടി തിരിച്ചായിരുന്നു. 'നൂറുകോടിയിലേറെ വരുന്ന ജനതയെ ജനാധിപത്യത്തിന്റെ ഒരു കുടക്കീഴില്‍ അണിനിരത്തുമ്പോള്‍ സ്വാഭാവികമായും പ്രശ്‌നങ്ങളും വെല്ലുവിളികളുമുണ്ടാവും. ഇതിനെ പ്രതിസന്ധിയെന്ന് പറയാനാവില്ല. പ്രശ്‌നങ്ങളെത്തുടര്‍ന്ന് ഇന്ത്യയുടെ അഖണ്ഡത തകര്‍ന്നിട്ടില്ല. അതുകൊണ്ടുതന്നെ ഭരണവും ജനാധിപത്യവും എതിര്‍ദിശയില്‍ സഞ്ചരിക്കുന്നുവെന്ന് വിലയിരുത്താനാവില്ല.' - ഇതായിരുന്നു ഉത്തരം. 

ടി.എന്‍. ശേഷന്‍, കൃഷ്ണമൂര്‍ത്തി, രാജു നാരായണസ്വാമി എന്നിവര്‍ക്കുശേഷം സിവില്‍ സര്‍വീസില്‍ ഒന്നാമതെത്തിയ മലയാളി.
