Telling the truth is the right thing to do unless…

One of the toughest task nowadays is telling the truth ever or whenever deemed necessary to say truth, or in the circumstances where one has to lie to escape from unknown incident.

I have faced various situation as such but for me it is quite different and I can say that ‘telling the truth always’, or ‘telling the lie is rare’ unless it is justified in both the sides.

Before telling the truth, I would like to state a small story from a movie clip on the bitter truth while critical situation taken place (such situation normally do happens in one of our lives, the situation happened in our life shows by either TV serial or movie, or the reality show broadcasting by TV or movie normally do happens in our lives).  However, we will go through one of them as below.

A person has to pay (borrowed) money to his older friend who gave him cash as help for few days. The one who gave money got lot of tense from borrowed one due to promised broken and he asked his friend to return it as soon as possible, the way it was going is like he is not able to return the cash soon despite he is having enough money but let him follow for few more days where he got more tensed. 

One fine day, both of them met near the bus stand at midnight, he refused to return the money again despite he is having it, however, he was arguing to pay it immediately but looks like older friend is not able to get back his cash at this point. A group of thieves came on the spot and shown knives and other dangerous weapons to them to withdraw the valuables and cash to free them out. When the situation understands the borrowed person, he then paid immediately to older friend on the spot where he refused it at this critical situation. 

Now, the group of thieves got those cash beside other valuable belongings too from both, oh God. The one who borrowed cash from older friend agreed and told the truth in a wrong moment which causes both of them to lose all cash and belonging at the same time.

Sometime, when we need to lie in a critical situation to either save one's prestige matter or innocent act. And, sometime we need to tell the truth even though any seriousness or critical situation to save one's life than prestige or valuables. This is the truth or bitter truth which can always win the situation of life.

However, the Truth plays vital role, one is, we don’t need to remember the Truth for a long time as what we had told to a person in case, the other one is, lies can be caught at any moment and we have to remember it and not to forgot it for a long time to match the situation as what we actually lied with others.

Each city has its own glory and has created history in the World to remember for a long time for its residents or visitors or lovers, Melbourne city is one of them. How it has formed? To be frank, I know only few things about Melbourne city than Australia or other locations. Herein Melbourne, one is famous Cricket ground (MCG, as Cricket lover) and the next few are as below.

You may read the history of Melbourne city and other detail for your information.

Building Melbourne:

Princes Bridge, is one the construction which was proposed to build on 22nd April 1840, a company was assigned to build a bridge across the Yarra River despite controversy among counselor members taken place for a different location while planning for it. However, it was built as finalized.

First land sale in Melbourne city:

It was on 1^st Jun 1836, Governor Bourke authorized to sell first land (Crown) in Melbourne city with subdivided in to twenty allotments which administrated by Robert Hoddle, and it was said to purchaser that it has to be built the home within 2 years. Apart from highest price paid for the land in different area, but the lowest price paid for the land in particular area of Melbourne become ‘Golden Mile’ called highest priced real estate within short of span.

Second land sale in Melbourne city:

Just five months after the first land sale for the residence / commercial purpose, in Nov 1836, the second land sale taken place. Again within short time, the land value increased in Melbourne city, specially for North West corner of Swanston street and Flinders street which paid by John Batman.

As per survey during that period, once the residents used to think about the location as merely a part of town or village since the province looks like home here and there with few houses, tents and sheds scattered in one or two. The traffic has to be suspended due to chain of waterlog, shallow gullies and ruts on the street.

Melbourne was a province of New South Wales since the beginning. Later on, Melbourne became incorporated town in 12^th Aug 1842 with four wards. Andrew Russell was elected as First Alderman for six years term, Henry Condell was elected as first Mayor of Melbourne, and Charles King selected as Town Clerk in Dec 1842.

Melbourne Town Hall was completed to build in 1870 despite few issues upon its construction including labor shortage and proposal of a different location after finalization etc. It was built and officially opened during 9^th Aug 1870 by his Excellency Governor of Victoria Lord Viscount Canterbury.

Entertainment in Melbourne:

The Regent Theater was first opened in 1929 incorporated with Plaza, now it is Sunset Boulevard since 1997 as it was under legal issue with MCC and other controversy earlier.

Now, we got to go with various mode of entertainments in Melbourne, Australia and unlike those days just with movie/film and circus etc.

Gold discovery effect in Melbourne city:

The discovery of Gold in Victoria during 1850s had a remarkable effect on the growth of Melbourne city; it was looking like a desert due to people leaving from Melbourne and tried to settle down in Victoria. Many foreigners used to arrive by sea and some of them happy and few of them disappointed on Gold business and returned back. The same story for a different natural source might happen over there.

Yes or No - To be or Not to be, Pre-Martial

I am going to write on this topic casually just like straight from the heart whether I win the contest or not. Pre-Martial sex won't mostly suit for Indian Culture since it is against all religions customs that made thousands years back and followed accordingly despite few does against act from long. Whenever we talk about Pre-Martial sex we just pay attention or think only on girls against religions or society’s custom and how about boy who does Pre-Martial sex prior his marriage? Yes, this bias prevails against male vs female on this topic.

Adam and Eve / Stone Age:

If you consider Stone Age from Adam and Eve, God made them as couple and not as Eve is like a Girl friend of Adam but married couple or Eve as Adam’s wife rather different relation or fiction. By accepting this, one can move little ahead with little different custom at the initial stage which we as majority need to agree with our elder’s decision on this scenario.

The next come to our mind is Pre-Marital subject; most of them generally says No to Pre-Marital but will not describe more on why than they follow the customs or elders. Do you think custom made just to stop individual’s happiness on this subject, No, individual can enjoy but with following discipline and custom. If there is no custom and discipline on this subject then there will be no differences among human and animal. 

The toughest thing on individual happiness among this topic is not because of ritual or custom but it is just because of marriage unnecessary additional formalities and costs that unable to bear most of them which create mess up on this easy process. You can simply marry and enjoy the nature to avoid various health, crime and society issues than Pre-martial act. Few guys happy causes angry for many.

Though this subject is like both the sides of the coin, fewer pros and more cons would be there, only very few people who involved would be pleased and the one who come to know about it might be displeased due to such act which is against all law despite mutual involvement.

In general, only very few people might be happy on this (topic/act) but mostly against on Pre-Martial sex whether they do involve or support directly or indirectly. However, I would like to know opinion first from honest and discipline Girls or Women on this topic. You can also know the different opinion from PoonaamUppal's True Love - A Mystical True Love Story on Flipkart. You can also find the discussion on this topic here.

No Achcham…No fear! Those days in my College

Human and other species generally born with fear (Achcham - in Tamil) as one of the instinct among many characteristic or the behavior. Different fears may comes across in different occasions or situations other than fun filled one or sad one or general one. But, which fear makes you more thrill, suspense, new, no idea for solution and many risk filled in including do or die situation alone? How to rise above fear in such circumstances? How to take risk in life to succeed and how to overcome from fear then claim victory which can be of turning point in your life. Read this article for more detail on No fear or No Achcham in our life.

Advice or suggestion can get easily in this world but how about practical risk taking alone without anyone’s support or an idea which involves life or death to reach some target, success and achievement. Only few people will face fear situation and take risky action to get succeed in their lifetime. There is saying that the one who afraid God will not afraid anyone since death is certain which needless to fear for it but live happily and take some steps boldly ‘for the right one or valid one’.

As one of the dialogue from Gabbar Singh, Jo dargaya so margaya! (Dead who feared for, even though he/she live).

I can give many examples on this topic but it is not an easy to write all in one post. Here I will write only one situation for it which I faced in College days.

There was College election campaign going on within College where some spark happened among two different student / pupil parties where the clashes between them finally about to an end in Principles office. It was unfortunate for the College Principle, well wishers and decent studying student that Principle got head injured due to hitting stone directly on his head which done by one of the student on that group upon Principal compromising between these two parties. That’s it, other surrounded Professors and HoD called the Police department (though their vehicles always used to stand near our college for the sake of college students’ act) and they arrived with little gap as usual. Meanwhile, the clash becomes even more serious before entering by Police group in the premises. I and my friend have to run to the third floor of the college class to hide on this situation where there were thousands of college students who runs on the same time as human tide upon Police entry.

Indian Police control the situation as usual with lathi charge and tear gas for a while. Pin drop silent in the college premises, hard to see bird flying over there. I was thinking of some serious situation since it was my first year study in college where I saw the live situation as such than movie. The area was like a desert for couple of hours. I suddenly thought of my College exam’s fee and its last day. I had to take Demand Draft for it or else I would be disqualified for the upcoming exam, oh God. I discussed with my college class mates and they shouted on me, they said, why you made delay on this since anything at anytime could happen in our college or even sometime in our country like strike, death and so on. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

My heart says go and get it done or else you will be in trouble and my mind says be careful. Only one thing I can do is to face do or die situation on that moment, I have to exit from the college and get the DD then enter the college till College Admin for submitting the DD with ID copy. How, possible for lathi charge to me or tear gas or even possible for sever action from Police that can be of shooting order on the move too. I have to and I have to – my heart says. I remembered God then slowly walked away from friends and passing through open ground and exit way of the college. Many (including Police) were seeing me like a deer walking alone in 200 meters path that is about face any situation right now. Eyes on me, eyes on me and eyes on me by all, including God. Thank God, nothing happened and exits safely and reached the Bank which is very near to my college.

I got a DD within half an hour and enquired the college situation by Bank authorities then I explained them accordingly. Ok, now the situation is again to enter the college with same dangerous atmosphere. Again remembering God and moving slowly from the entry Gate of the College (where Police enquired about me) and explained them softly about last day and DD (shown) to submit. They agreed to enter and slowly moving toward Admin with thrilled situation again, many again looking on me and this time got little confidence since Police conversation taken place just. Yeah, reached 100 meters path so far, still panicked in this pin drop silent atmosphere. Anything could happen.

A group of Police were moving to a different direction of the College which panicked me for a while then still moved on till Admin which came closely. Yeah, I made it, I made it and I reached the Admin and submitted the DD and ID copy to the concern authority. In reply, authority looking on me with angry as I am the only guy who gave him works on this situation. For a safety reason, I stayed few hours nearby College Admin area only till the situation come little calm, yes, they announced “indefinite college strike” which is really bad for the one whom studying well or who doesn’t involve in unnecessary act etc.

However, I won the day – did my work, no fear and no tear. No Achcham, Achchai meeri Uchchai Thodu...yeah.

Remembering those days in college

Those days like a dream to reach the College due to various reasons, one of them is study, though the main aim will be studying further once we passed out either in 10th class or 12th class to reach college. But, we have again different reasons to reach the college beside study, it is just like an entertainment, new place after a long gap from same school study, show the world that you become youth by entering college and possible to get revenue in future from business or work once college study over in very near future, dreaming world and so on.

However, we need to think on this topic about two different views, one is college perspective and the other one is student perspective. I have stated here both. Some state’s education pattern says that the College entry is once we passed out 10th class to reach the Junior College like Pre-University Course (PUC – 10+2) and some state’s education pattern says that the College entry would be once we passed out 12th class to reach the College for Bachelor’s Degree by choosing related subject.

However, as per recalling, I would like to state something about the college days when I passed out in 12th standard with first class marks / percentage (fortunately) to enter the Bachelor’s degree. In general, student has to face lot of new challenges beside dream, dream and dream upon entering the college. This includes day dream, night dream and the future dream in unknown atmosphere. Other than this, student will be on teenage with glamour, realizing reality or truth compare to childhood or early days where everyone or everything was good, old school mates separated, future or scope thoughts, new atmosphere, new faces as college mates, lack of understanding, solo on ground, ragging by seniors, disappointment on course selection, disappointment on instructor or professor or even Principal sometime, hatred on class projects, possible for new and useless love, roaming with friends, tour and travel, student election campaign, delay for class, nothing to worry on exam despite not studied, love with arrears, love to pass the time including in cafeteria and so on. We just happy to pass 3 to 4 years in the college whether we achieved our main aim or not but we were ready to achieve rest of the things.

I was afraid to enter the college due to ragging than any others; I tried to avoid going to college for first few days after Admission. Later, I had been to college regularly though I got struck with minor ragging which I could lose nothing but Rs 20 and some question from senior to answer where HoD (Head of the Department) entered upon. He, hee, heeee. My college was famous in two things, one is ragging, and the other one is the college surrounded with reputed girls’ colleges and girls’ secondary and higher secondary schools which helped our collegians as an entertainment, fun and even sometime love source for few (I will tell you later about me). Now, you have to identify my college or its name where I would have studied or passed the time – he hee heee. You have to understand that study is different in such atmosphere, so, if you are solo and interested in study then doesn't matter, you can study and pass out – it is just like it is in your own hand to pass or fail to get Degree, as usual. At the same time, we used to see the release of the movie related to college during entering or joining the college, as same as, for e.g. Jo Jeetha Wohi Sikander movie and eager to watch it despite getting from black ticket.

During college days, we sometime used to think that we are broadminded or well matured compare to our parents or elders or seniors around, sometime we used to even think that we are master in teaching than the college instructor or principal though not studied as we supposed to be. Sometime it became true in few cases but not for all.

Now education, our country education system is little different and late updates on eco-system or international educational eco-system. How? When I was in abroad a decade ago, I heard about B.Sc Accounts subject (remember - BSc Accounts) degree in their colleges from well known countries, I surprised on Degree title and realized that this will not come to India unless we spend few decades and education pattern changes here slowly by Ministry level which they will know it first before me. Also, our citizen will laugh and surprise when we talk early about BSc Accounts. Why BSc Accounts? It is not related to Bachelor of Science? Finally, after a decade it came to India following western education pattern by Indian Govt, which our current student follows too for various other degrees and education level.

Go anywhere and stay for less, from Airbnb

I am actually one of the travel lovers and would like to roam all over the world. I had been too few foreign countries beside local trips in India. The International trip was to Singapore (tour visit), Brunei (tour visit), Bahrain (tour visit), UAE (tour visit), Saudi Arabia (for work), and Kuwait (for short-term work). These all happened few years back and would like to still roam in India and other foreign countries when time permits. However, I won't give up to travel anywhere in the future.

When I recall the past, some of the best trip in India was, Shimla, Jammu, Sri Nagar, Kolkata, Delhi, Mumbai, Munnar, Goa, Bangalore, Chennai, Hyderabad, Mysore and other small and less known tourist places, on.

Wherever we go, the important one other than travel is of unique accommodation and suitable food, or boarding and lodging or bed and bread beside a wonderful sightseeing, experience and remembrance for many years as I recalled this one. I used to see trip photos which was taken long back to recall the older excitement and happy days. Still you can enjoy it, and age doesn't matter to go around. 

There are few travel companies that assist online for such trip and to get unique accommodation with lesser price. One of them is Airbnb. All these fun together, Airbnb connects people to unique travel experiences, at any price point, in more than 34,000 cities and 190+ countries. Why don't you utilize this facility?

To avail the facilities at Airbnb and its booking through online or from a mobile phone, you can visit Airbnb booking. I too have selected few foreign location and two local locations as follows.

Spain, Ireland:

Ireland: This is one of the best places to visit due to various reason and one of them is naturally beautiful. It has various sightseeing and soft people around.

Ohaupo, New Zealand:

New Zealand: You can either visit Australia or New Zealand which is great to be there as long as you would like to realize natural rich atmosphere.

Luxemburg, city:

Luxemburg: International travelers never forget to enjoy the beauty of Luxemburg. This is one of the best hospitality and tourist places in the world which real traveler never misses the opportunity to enjoy.

Kodaikanal, India:

Kodaikanal: Although it is famous location in India for coolest place and try to stay over there during Summer, this is one of the best location in southern India to experience lush green and hill station with beautiful atmosphere.

Hyderabad, India:

Hyderabad is actually a different city to visit, it is unlike some peace and quiet tourist location but it is a city which contains some of the historical places, architecture, mixed with nature and most importantly growing IT sector which called Silicon Valley of India.

Don’t Circus on road

Whenever I talk with friends and relatives on the topic of Road safety, I will remember few bitter incident and accident that happened in front of me and would like not to disclose here except hint. A small rose was smashed by giant stone in front of me while travelling on the bus, no one could help it at that moment for that rose and other stone which crashed, I was able to see it since I was sitting on the front seat which is near the bus driver.

I was unable to forget for few long days, unable to have food on time and often discussed with near and dear about it, and still I used to recall it once such topic arises. It was a horrible experience though a small school rose was not my relatives but unknown rose which didn’t grown as it is supposed to be and big lose for their family members. There are so many incident as such for my native / city people and those were behind my seen but still painful whenever I recall it. Oh God.

Drive(r) with care

Whenever I drive the vehicle on road or while traffic, the first one is remembering God, the second one is utmost care about who is approaching me to hit my vehicle / car rather than whom I am going to hit anyone. However, overall vehicle care, driving care and vigilant is there for which I suppose to drive well without hitting anyone following the driving guideline and fasten seat belt etc. Doing silly mistake in a second can harm many like attending mobile calls can cause severe damage including life threat.

If you want to drive vehicle upside down, wheeling, jumping, racing, showing and stunning etc. then you may join at any nearest Circus or bike racing center or formula one group etc. There are some expert who could assist you on this and I am afraid you won’t show such talent over there since you can do it at Road show only which can kill you and some on goers.
