NEW FORMAT FOR MY BLOG

Hey there,

First of all, a big thank you to each one of you reading this blog, and to all those who have been regularly reading my blogs. I hope it has been an enjoyable experience for all of you. Personally, I have learnt a lot over the last year or so, and writing these blogs has been fun!
I would love to have your suggestions for making my blog more professional. Do drop in your suggestions in the Comments section, or send a mail to me on my email id- anirudh.naveen02@gmail.com.

Well, here is a big announcement. I will be following a new format for my blogs. I will be publishing a blog every Friday. You can expect them to published by 8 pm on those days. The format followed can be summed up in the acronym- PSLV.
No, it is not Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle :)

It basically stands for:-
P- Politics (Current Affairs, ideals)
S- Sports (Cricket, Tennis etc.)
L- Literature (Poems, Stories, Book reviews)
V- Value systems/Value of the month

These will be published in the first, second, third and fourth Friday of the month respectively. If there is a fifth Friday, even though that rarely happens, I will take up the topic- Entertainment, and will write on movies and songs.

I look forward to posting these blogs regularly. Do follow me by subscribing to my blog. Also, don't forget to follow me on Instagram (anirudh.naveen.0305) and Twitter (Anirudh Naveen @anicricket).

Thanks for all the love and warm wishes. Continue following my blogs. Enjoy your day (or maybe night:) ahead!

Tribute to Shri Narayan Rajamani: selflessness personified

There are occasions in life that compel us to pause and reflect on the very meaning of existing as sentient beings in this world. Death is a phenomenon that unsettles even the most spiritually-inclined person. When someone with whom there exists a deep, layered bond suddenly departs for the heavenly abode, it invariably leaves one disoriented. The passing away of my maternal grandfather Shri Narayan Rajamani on the 13th of January 2023 placed me in such a situation. Ever since I was informed about his demise, I have been saturated with thoughts- ranging from the numerous interactions I had with him to the lessons that I constantly derived from his art of living. I desperately have been wanting to write a tribute for my grandpa, but even before I started, I realised that grandpa’s life cannot easily be captured in an article or two. According to Smt. Vijaya Pushkarna, former Deputy Chief of Bureau for The Week magazine and closely associated with Shri Rajamani, my grandfather's lif...

Dadabhai Naoroji- Statesman and revolutionary in his own right

The conventional narrative of the Indian national movement often accords centrality to the non-violent agitation spearheaded by the Indian National Congress. Many moderate leaders from late 19th century have not been given adequate importance given that they believed in 'petition politics' which didn't successfully elicit much popular support. Marxist historians have also shown little interest in studying the lives of these thinkers, who have been shunned as members of a 'bourgeois elite' allegedly collaborating with the British. Such notions have especially gained credence in the light of the perceived success of the non-violent movement. However, such an approach assumes a teleological unfolding of historical events, and ignores the fluid interplay of ideas that contributed to the distinctness of the Indian national movement. The gravitas of this movement can only truly be understood if all these ideological sources are duly acknowledged and thoroughly scrutinised...

Poem- All it takes is humanity

Waves in the oceans are symbolic of transmitting happiness and joy in our surroundings. Life is incomplete without the human expressions of gratitude and appreciation. The ocean exemplifies this by constantly churning out wave after wave, that spread happiness and joy in the surroundings. It was an eerie silence a silence that became my guru a silence that epitomised the colour blue a silence that made me reach out for the world, a silence that made me understand what is undeniable and true! Yes, I was standing on the sea-shore yes, there was a lot of disturbance yes, as people loitered along with discussions galore I remained undeterred, in a state of oblivion and penance Observing the sea, yes I was I closely watched the waves move up and down carrying everything that came along its way along with the electric message of peace, from dusk till dawn. I observed a little longer to find that far away from the horizon the waves were carrying a spec...
