Madrasis Vs Punjabis, Hindi Vs Marathi, Is India really independent!?, republic!!??

Hi Folks,

It's been a long time.. I started this blog in 2008.. and I have till date only managed to post 2 posts. And to tell u the truth.. I was lazy.. But I also had nothing to write about.. People often finds news around us.. They scribble their news in various forms of publications - newspapers, blogs, twitter, etc etc.. you name it. I dunno hw they find news... but i am no journalist and I don't find news around us.. But obviously i feel i should talk about something that bothers me, or that bother people around me - loud.. but who cares.. for me I am telling the truth (I think so) :). But for others.. I am mad...

Now to start my second blog apart from the klueless post, the basis of which is an SMS i got today.. wishing happy republic day. It says some vital stats abt our country. It goes like this.. 31 States, 7 Union Territories, 1618 Languages, 6400 Castes, 6 Religions, 6 Ethnic Groups, 29 Major festivals & 1 Country! Be Proud to be an Indian!. I don't know how far this is true. And I know this is an old SMS. For last 2 years I am getting same SMSs like this, only difference being the number of states (As far as I know, there are only 28 states and seven U.T.s till now). It's the same thing that wonders me. Why is it increasing day by day and why people are craving for more states? First all wanted a state based on their languages. And now they want.. I don't know why want they more states for. For religions? For Ethnic groups? One thing I am sure is, more states means more chaos and more diversity. 

I have a feeling India is falling apart. More than religious fights, India is facing this serious threat within the country itself. It's more dangerous than the fight between Hindus and Muslims and Christians and any other foreign terrorists decides to come to our country and kill innocent people. And why should they? Since we are fighting among themselves and decides to forego the Bagiratha task of Acharya Vinobhave et.al to unify this country through Bhoodan movement etc. Before the British, India was a place of numerous small princely states fighting themselves. And that helped the British to implement the policy of "Divide and Rule" so easily and conquer our motherland. We are making the same mistake again. We are cutting our country into more and more small pieces based on whatever ideals some opportunists propose. The first mistake being forming some states based on the languages spoken. If we continue like this, the following cartoon will soon be a reality.


LIKE THAT ONLY                  by Jug Suraiya & Ajit Ninan

Thus created a division between people. And people started fighting against each other based on language barriers. For e.g. Marathi Vs Hindi in Maharashtra, Tamil Vs Hindi or any other Indian languages like Malayalam or Kannada. For many Tamils, First they are a Tamilian, before they are an Indian. Same cases with Marathis and others. This division created so many political bottlenecks in various parts of India, like sharing of river waters, teaching and speaking other languages in schools, trade movements etc etc.Why can't they think as Indians first before they consider themselves as a Tamils or Malayalees or Marathis? And why are we still increasing this gap by dividing many big states and creating so many small so called states?

According to me, we should overcome the language and cultural barriers and make India as what our fore fathers who brought us freedom, dreamed of becoming. The No.1 country in the world in every terms. We should fight within ourselves to overcome our attitude towards other communities, other languages. Be it a Punjabi or a Tamil. As Chetan Bhagat said in "2 States" marriage of not two, but all states now exists instead of creating more divorces.  Then only we can proudly say that India is republic or India is really independent. For that, I guess we should start a new India One Movement :)

Jai Hind.

Klueless5 clues - Klueless 5 answers

Beat it the hard way!

Hi folks, It's been a long time since I write any blogs. But mind you I was only beta testing myself in the blogosphere . And nothing major to write about happened since my previous blog about an year ago. But now I played Klueless 5 and I feel it is one of the best things I indulged into since last year. I was really struggling to find major clues for each level in the new edition of Klueless. And I must say Klueless is improving year by year. Kudos to Team K5. You people are really great.

And for those who didn't play klueless, I must say you are missing something. Start playing today itself. Here's the link http://ahvan.in/ahvan/klueless5/

And here, I am gonna give clues to K5 for the levels 1-30. Please mind you, these are only vague hints to the answers and it won't always fetch you an answer. Nonetheless, it helps you to the answer, if you think in the same lines.

But I recommend everyone who plays klueless not to look for any clues and crack answers from the game itself. The clues may mislead you and sometimes spoil the fun of the game. Because all the levels in K5 are carefully crafted to perfection by few of the brightest minds in India. They know what to give and what not to give as clues in each and every level.

P.S: Please don't read this if you think you are intelligent and crack answers for yourself.

Now let me start.

1) Simple click for starters - What are you playing!!??

2) I prefer Roman to Greek, and I hate maths. And for those new to klueless read rules page thoroughly.

3) I will say maroon, picture and Tom hanks (He played a more or less similar character in a movie) help you.

4) Wiki aunt is your friend. And you must not always believe your eyes. LOTR :)

5) This is the level that eluded me for long time. Then I realize acronyms can be so cumbersome. And I never listened to hip hop music.

6) Cakewalk if you know Greek mythology and etymology of a word that always tease us.

7) As the picture says, Use your mobile and your brain for a change. :)

8) It's easy if u can guess what exactly is showed in the picture. And whats that thing in the bottom right corner doing?? Google uncle helped me!

9) This is one level I loved the most and Google uncle fails. All you have to do is think - with the left side of your brain. Answer is staring at you always.

10) Simple one! we never cared about spellings as long as it wont change the meaning. Confused?? Again go through rules page.

10b) Read carefully. Who's the culprit. We heard this story somewhere. All u hav to do is find how we call the culprit. And i still got a hangover from the previous level.

11) Gentleman and the Kid. You always knew how destructive they're.

12) This is the one level I hate in K5. I was always bad in vocabulary and grammer. But, like Jack, my friend's name is Tom, and he helped me Swiftly.

13) Wiki Aunty is your friend. Find out who the guy is and answer is right there in wiki page.

14) Chat. What u do when some1 say something like that to u!

15) This is one of the best levels in K5. Klues could be a shame here. Still, forget stormtroopers and feel the dice. Think how you read without words.

16) Rebus. You should hav read comics. Surname will fetch you near and maiden gets you through.

17) Bold is beautiful. Charlie is more beautiful. Charlie weighs more Kilos. So forget Kilo and go with Charlie - He is the developer. But mind you Kilo is bold.

18) One of the previous editions of Klueless had something similiar - something with a diamond ring picture. You'll get answer in 10 secs if you love to play games. But for laymen boom and broom is one hell of a clue.

19) This is one of the most beautiful levels of K5. I made a mistake of finding directions in my cell phone. Never realised my PC has more to offer than my cellphone and laptop. Google uncle is your friend and wiki aunt will help you after you find which direction to go.

20) Play the game! eliminate the wastes and gather the remainders and seek Google uncle help. Bingo! oh forgot to mention hw nursery rhymes are so different nowadays.

Hope this clues helps you.

24)Snake Bite, Call the Doctor immediately. News and Romans will help you to crawl. Make a stop at your each turn.


25)This is a brilliant level.. I don't like to give clues for this level. But words like Hex, RGB, may help you. Convert the shadow numbers, refer level 5 and convert it back.

And for those really stuck on some levels, you can write to me. I wont give u a direct answer, but i'll get you closer.

I or Us.

Hi all, this is my first blog. If there is any mistakes of any kind, I know there will be obviously hundreds of them, please forgive me, but also please spare your precious time to point out few.

The main motivation to start this blog is the Head Lines that's flashing all over India for the past three days and also continuing to this very moment. Yes guys, you guessed it right.. Its the Unscrupulous Mumbai Attacks.. Now sitting back in the safety of my room in Chennai, thinking how little I could do to stop these barbarainism and how desperate i want to get myself involved to help out and even kill those behind it, makes me literally mad. And finally i decided i could flush out my anger by scribbling some thing in the internet. I dont know any body gonna read this. But watching six channels celebrating Mumbai attacks, day in and day out for the past three days made me an expert in terrorism like any other Indians. So i decided to write. Now guys lemme start my scribblings.

I was only ten, when i first heard the word terrorism (ofcourse in my mother tongue) and during the Kargil war, words and variants of this started pouring into my head. Terrorists, Militants, Infiltration, Intrution etc etc. But I still dont know what Terrorism is. And what are these people's real motives, except to create chaos and to bring about anarchism. And I dont really believe these people, whoever they are, will achieve their objectives by killing innocent people. Honestly I don't believe these people are Muslims proclaiming their religion. If they are, and have to do so they have to kill atleast 60o Million Hindus in India and about 3 Billion Christians worldwide. They know this is just not possible. As Mr. Shah Mehmood Qureshi Pointed out, these people have no religion, no race, no color. They are barbarians. But what are these barbarians doing in my country? Why are they here for? I expect no one is going to give me a correct answer.

I believe they are here to curb our economic development. India is a fast growing economy as they all say. And if India continue to grow at this level, then soon our country will place ourselves along with major economies in the world. But a major threat like the attacks in Mumbai, as it being the financial hub of the country will definitely shoo away the foriegn investors. The FDI, FPI and FII investments into our country will definetely cease for a while. And just think, who will benefit from this. It's defientely not Pakistan, because that country doen't have enough infrastructure even for themselves. But.. But.. It will definetely benefit China, as it is the alternate option for South Asian investors. The Chinese government may be ignorant about all this. But lobbysts in China may definetely have a hand in this sponsored terrorism. Otherwise how could the militants gets their hands on Chinese hand grenades and Chinese made AK-47s? Surely these things they dont sell in a super market. I know this is only my opinion. Never mind.

Coming back to Mumbai, what happened in Mumbai is absolutely a National Security lapse. Being warned by the cost guards of a possible sea route attack, the Government did nothing to stop that or find out any possibilities of such attack. And it took almost sixty hours capture the 20 odd Terrorists who ran amok with arms and ammunitions killing over a hundred. These all shows how the country is ill equipped to fight or even face a situation like this. No proper trained commandos, not enough advanced weapons, no security devices and finally not even a proper law to arrest the suspects, nothing. Still our commandos some how found a way to out maneuver the terrorists holed up in three very important places in the city along with hostages. The brave commandos of Navy, Army, and the NSG deserve a salute from the nation for their brave services amidst these short falls.

Next thing is how to prevent these situations from happening again in future. The government should take steps to track down the men behind this. Also the government need to increase the security levels atleast in metros like Mumbai. It can be done with a bit of help from every one of you. A bit of sacrifice of your privacy will help to save your life. Its a question of I or Us.

The time is 5.40 am, i haven't slept yet. I couldn't before the NSG track down the last 2-3 terrorists still inside the Taj Mahal Hotel. I seriously wish I have a rifle and I am there along with the Commandos.
