Parallels,Plagiarism,Parodies

Antonio Borgia,was a 15th century bishop of spanish descendent who gradually rose up the ranks to become a powerful pope,he was instrumental in the rise of Borgia family..and did everything jus everything in his discretion whether morally accepted or not ,whether legal or not to ensure that his family enjoyed power and prosperity..he even groomed his sons to hav a second line of successors ready, to carry on the family-hold over the Romagna after his demise..HoweverAntonio's calculations proved futile, for the Borgia clan eventually collapsed into oblivion under the weight of their own dirty work ...Generations after the tainted Borgia era continued to discuss and debate the several felonies and taboos attributed to them including charges as extreme as incest..Some 500yrs hence, their memories r still kept afresh and immortalised in puzo's 'the family'.. now striking is the parallel between Borgia and the karunanidhi family,though the latter's crime-record is kept concealed it wont be too long bfore we r exposed to thousands of their frauds ,for justice and good will eventually prevail over evil and the Borgia family is a stark remainder to all on where corrupted power will lead to...
Even as the literary world is engrossed in the tussle to eliminate plagiarism in the wake of "How opal mehta got kissed and got fucked.." and 'HOLY BLOOD AND HOLY GRAIL' controversy , on a very minor note i happen to see shades of Dominique Francon in the character 'silvia' in sujatha's new"ganesh and vasanth" series in vikatan..
i dunno if these parallels and resemblances r true or am jus seeing things .
the more i see the 'Simpsons',the more tempted i am to echo a need for our own parody show certainly there is no dearth of contents here for producing a parody tv show,star vijay must soon contemplate starting a similar show which am sure will b smashing hit..i mean if they can ape 'laughter challenge' ,'kbc' and' koffe' programmes surely they can do a 'simpsons' too.. only 'thuglaq' and vivek seem to hav mastered the art of parody here and it is obvious tat ppl jus love parodies.

who's the dunce?

Tamilnadu's much adored octagenarian has retuned to power ,and barely days after assuming power the junta's problems r getting solved for the better.Free tvs seem to b the panacea for every possible ill and rural ppl now actually get to watch SUN tv programmes!
which they would'nt imagine in thier remotest dream..wat if a majority of households lack power-supplies they ll still get the tv coz "v dont backtrack on our promises" says the
DMK ,"watch away ur worries" is their mantra..Free stoves will b given away in the forthcomin days promises the party high-hand and if u happen to wonder how the folks can afford a stove wid the LPG price sky-rocketing then u r being overly sceptical..the IT corridor will get a
much needed fillip wat wid the resurrection of 'kannagi statue' in the pipe-line..
farmers who still owe large debts wid the landlords can now look forward to state sponsored co-operative loans... the ppl hav given a decisive mandate in favour of the DPA ,and thier stances r getting clearly vindicated..our hearts go to the hapless "Lok Paritran" contestants
who lost thier deposits,certainly they were not aware of the existing 'rule of thumb'i.e only
the three F's (Filmstars, family politics,free goods)succeed in TN[i hav no clue as to how the old MGR songs still do the trick for ADMK in the country side],perphaps they'll (lok paritran)come
better prepared 4 the next assembly election which is another 4 years away definitely time-
enough for some to foray into kollywood ,mayb not sufficient to raise a family
though,...but ya there is a semblance of hope .
The anti-reservation dharna is another terrible waste of time and man-power,only thing the medicos in delhi and elsewhere hav achieved is a certain contempt for supreme court's order banning strikes,they must take a leaf out of their Engineering peers in TN who hav long remained mum and will continue to tolerate and wid good reasons too since most of them hav benefited immensely from reservation..but
then wat about merit? ah who needs merit its a pile of crap..
however jus one realisation has dawned: wats the point in IIts and AIIMS being the premiere institutes in the country if they r producing political dunces?!..

ITS A CATCH22!

its a catch22 scenario really tat Arsenal find themselves in now,coz they'll need to win the champ league to keep hold of thier peerless striker in Henry..bcoz champ league is one title which Henry's list of honours lacks and after seven years of fruitless toil here for the ultimate glory Henry will b forced to consider other options, most likely the rising power in Barca who r reportedly interested in him,no matter to wat lengths wenger or the fans persuade him to stay. This is the best chance Arsenal have got in ages to get hold of the illustrious european cup,and all thier hopes rest on one man thier skipper Henry to do wat he does best against Barca next week,but this is a typical catch22 situation coz Henry will hav to play his heart out against a rejuvenated Barca to keep himself at Arsenal and if he fails he'll leave to Barca!!so the match will not only showcase the battle between the Gunners and barca, but will also be an exhibition of Henry's interests(ie his battle to stay or not). one is reminded of a similar situation tat liverpool experienced last year when Gerrard was influential in winning them the champ league trophy,amid speculations tat he would leave if liverpool dont win..

we can only pray tat Henry emulates Gerrard

now coming to the second issue: the selection of Arsenal's Theo Walcott into the provisional squad released by sven 'quarterfinal' Erikkson last week,Walcott as u may know has not yet made his debut in the arsenal senior squad,but he is widely tipped to be the next boy-wonder after Rooney.. i think the move is really another of sven's frivolous gamble tat has an increasing possibility of backfiring than not,even as prodigiously talented tat Walcott is ,he still lacks one key ingredient in "experience" which def is the formula 4 success in any international tournament leave alone the wc...Erikkson would do well to remember tat the other teenage wc success stories includin pele, owen and rooney in Euro'04 had some good first division experience bfore steppin out into the big arena,further y would u want to pick a rookie as ur first choice striker when such proven performers in Jenas and Bent r waitin in the wings?

But then y should sven listen coz quarterfinal has always been his destination.. we dont want the script to turn really awry for Theo and England atleast tis time round coz as even Henry acknowledges "they really deserve to win" except tat Sven has other ideas

MESSIAH OF NEW AGE BLOGS

hi fellas,so finally i find my urges get the better of me in this battle of 'starting my own blog' this decision as late as it has come is definitely not 'inspired' by the thousands of blogs floating in the web,on the contrary its a decision seriously induced by 'the pathetic contents' forced to ur reading in the name of blogs..ya i can't help it but feel real sorry for the entire lot of blogging community and its current readership..most of them suck. my columns will b unlike most, in the way tat it will totally bank on the concept of 'responsible writing', that is there will b no or infrequent references to the false groodies of some page3 actress or to the skirt lengths of a hot tennis pro or to the affairs of some distant celebrity vecks(pardon me for the Nadsat here) or such thing as trivial as tat,and most pathetic of 'em all the high concentration of narcissism prevalent in most posts shall b kept to a readable minimum.. i still say 'infrequent references'coz i may suffer temporary bouts of perverse mood swings wherein my writing may get distracted.
me being a sport afficionado u can expect plenty of sports strewn around in my columns and many even dedicated solely to sports ..though most shall contain my frank views from a neutal point.. yet i must warn u beforehand against trusting the veracity of those articles which bear the name of 'Gunners' or 'Arsenal FC' which can be highly partisan sometimes even to insane or ridiculous proportions.
i promise u tat i will strive to honour my commitments stated above by churning out only responsible contents and it is upto u to make tis exercise a success by ur support..now please make way and welcome the 'MESSIAH of new age blogging' which is ur YOUR HUMBLE NARRATOR
