ഡോ. കെ.ജെ. യേശുദാസ് എന്നാല്‍ സംഗീതം എന്ന വാക്കിന്റെ പര്യായം എന്നാണ് നമ്മള്‍ ഏവരും കരുതുന്നത്. അദ്ദേഹത്തിന്റെയോ കല്പന രാഘവേന്ദ്രയുടെയോ കഴിവുകളെ തെല്ലും കുറച്ചു കാണുന്നുമില്ല.പക്ഷെ ഐഡിയ സ്റ്റാര്‍ സിങ്ങര്‍ വേദിയില്‍ അദ്ദേഹം പറഞ്ഞ കാര്യങ്ങള്‍ തികച്ചും വേദനാജനകമായിരുന്നു.

"കല്പന പൂര്‍വജന്മം ചെയ്ത എന്തോ മഹാപാപത്തിന്റെ ഫലമായാണ്‌ ഇന്ത്യയില്‍ ജനിക്കേണ്ടി വന്നത്, അമേരിക്കയില്‍ ജനിക്കേണ്ടിയിരുന്നു" എന്നായിരുന്നു അത്. രാജ്യം പദ്മശ്രീയും, പദ്മഭൂഷനും 7 നാഷണല്‍ അവാര്‍ഡുകളും , ഡോക്‌ട്രേറ്റും, 30 സ്റ്റേറ്റ് അവാര്‍ഡുകളും കേരള ഗവര്‍മെന്റിന്റെ ഏക ആസ്ഥാന ഗായകന്‍ പദവിയും കൊടുത്തു ബഹുമാനിച്ച ഇന്ത്യാകാരനു സ്വന്തം രാജ്യത്തോട് ഇത്രെ പുച്ഛമോ?

അമേരിക്കയില്‍ ജനിച്ചു , കഴിവുകള്‍ തെളിയിച്ച അദ്ദേഹത്തിന്റെ ബന്ധു ആനന്ദ്‌ ജോണ്‍ ജോണിന് അമേരിക്കയില്‍ സംഭവിച്ചതെന്ത് എന്നും, ഇന്ന് അദ്ദേഹത്തിന്റെ അവസ്ഥ എന്ത് എന്നും ശ്രീ യേശുദാസിന് അറിയില്ല എന്നാണോ. അദ്ദേഹത്തിന്റെ ഭാഷയില്‍ പൂര്‍വ ജന്മ സുകൃതം കൊണ്ട് അമേരിക്കയില്‍ ജനിച്ച ആനന്ദ്‌ ജോണ്‍ കാരാഗൃഹത്തിലും, പൂര്‍വ ജന്മ പാപം കൊണ്ട് ഇന്ത്യയില്‍ ജനിക്കേണ്ടി വന്ന കല്പന ഒരു കോടിയുടെ ഫ്ലാറ്റിലും.

PREVENTION IS BETTER THAN CURE.....

Recession is coming... make your own judgment, don't be panic! Do what is wise.

The recession looks very imminent.
It is really time to take proactive steps to avoid a painful time in the next two years the period it is expected to remain this time.

Suggestions:

Ø Avoid taking any loans to buy homes, properties, or even cash loans. Keep as much cash as possible in hand.

Ø Pay off as much of personal loans, private loans, as debt collection will be hastened.

Ø Sell any stocks you can, even if the price is a bit low.

Ø Take money off from Trust Funds.

Ø Don't believe in huge sales forecast from customers. Be extremely prudent with lowest inventories and reduce liabilities.

Ø Don't invest in new capital or new business proposals.

Ø Do it now, if you are planning to sell homes / properties / cars when you can get good prices as returns would be less when recession sets in.

Ø Cancel holiday plans using credit cards.

Ø Don't change jobs, as companies will retrench based on 'last in first out'.

• Stay cool, wait, and if you took all of the above actions and more, you probably will be better off than many. This is not a rumour.

• Bear Stearns is the first of many banking and financial institutions that will start falling in the not too future.

• If Bear Stearns can fall, so can JP Morgan, Citibank, HSBC, and the whole world. US economy falls, the rest will crumble.

• India and all those self economies will be the most protected, but not gullible.

• Europe may be a little stronger, but not China, another giant place!

• Malaysia will see significant impact.

• Be alert and pass this to your friends!!!

we will never succumb

At least 11 people have been killed and 76 others injured in a bomb blast outside the Delhi HC on Wednesday morning. The terror strike, which was reportedly carried out by Harkat-ul-Jihad-al-Islami (HuJI), took place outside Gate No. 5 of the Delhi High Court at 10:14 am, today.

An email received by different media organizations including NDTV said that the Harkat-ul-Jihadi (HuJI) takes responsibility for today's blast. HuJI is a Pakistan-based terrorist group. The email states, "We owe the responsibility of today's blasts at High Court Delhi... our demand is that Afzal Guru's death sentence should be repealed immediately else we would target major High Courts and the Supreme Court of India."

"We take the mail very seriously," said NIA Chief SC Sinha.

Afzal Guru has been sentenced to death by the Supreme Court for his role in the attack on the Indian Parliament in 2001. His mercy petition that asks for his sentence to be commuted to life is pending with President Pratibha Patil. The Home Ministry has reportedly recommended that it be rejected.

Prime Minister Manmohan Singh, currently in Bangladesh on an official visit, described the attack as "a cowardly act of a terrorist nature." He added, "We will deal with it;we will never succumb to the pressure of terrorism; this is a long war."
