Subramanyam Swamy's Interview on Fox channel

Recently Subramanyam Swamy was under fire for writing an article against Islamic terrorism in India. In the aftermath of the Mumbai July 14th Opera house and Zaveri bazar blast, Dr. Swamy wrote an article to unite Indians against Islamic terrorism and was immediately under scanner for spreading hatred. I have read the article and don't find any hatred in it. It is just political vendetta by the ruling party that supports terrorism to get muslim votes. How incorrect is that. Here is the link to the article swamy wrote .Click Here
The video of Dr. Swamy's interview on fox is below:

Is Ramdev a real fraud?

Baba Ramdev is a well known Yoga guru in India and abroad. Millions of Indians and global citizens  have greatly benefited from his yoga and pranayama teachings including me. Yoga is a 5000 years old science founded by many sages and most prominent of which is Patanjali. It was there in texts but no one really tried to oversimplify it and spread it the way Ramdev did. He is a savvy businessman also;  who created a proliferring  business  empire worth 20 K crore without any seed money!  His own Patanjali yoga pitha along with the medicine factory in incredible and has been serving people who have lost all hope s from modern medicine. I decided to write on this topic after hearing 2 of my very close friends criticizing Ramdev. While, I did not agree with them, I did not get into an argument either for fear of turning the situation into a hostile one.

My friends retorted Ramdev is a fraud very  adamantly. Then I gently asked why so? Then comes the reply, he killed many people with his medicines. I said how do you know? They said he killed one of his close friend’s son with his medicine.  Then I asked, when the ruling party is so much against him, why can’t they prove anything against him? Then they said Vrinda Karat proved something against him and he sucked into congress and got away and now he is turning against them(read congress). Now the next question I should have asked is why the ruling party is not using that event against him, but I kept quiet because I knew they were so convinced that Ramdev is a fraud, no matter how much ever I say in support of him, will not actually change anything.

Now, I have several follow up questions:

Which medicine does not kill people? Do people go against all of them saying the doctors are fraud or the pharmaceuticals are fraud? According to me, chemotherapy and surgeries alone have killed many more people than any other drug. It has never been the case, where people turn to Ayurveda as first line of treatment. They go to traditional therapies and when everything fails, then they reluctantly turn towards alternatives. In many case, it would have been already terminal or the patient is already damaged beyond repair. Then why blame Ayurveda.

 The second thing is why Vrinda Karat could not prove her allegations that Ramdev uses human skulls? Many others also say he uses heavy metals for treatment. While I am not aware of this particular allegation, I know in Ayurveda, people do use lot of “Bhasma” and they could be of gold, silver or any other origin. My understanding tells that we still need trace amounts of heavy metals in our body. Not all heavy metals are toxic to our body. So, why hue and cry against Ramdev?  I think there is a particular section of the society very scared about Ramdev’s popularity and simplicity. They think, he may gain momentum and people will start getting better and they may lose business.  I wish those people should focus their campaign against coke, junk food instead;  it will bring about some good to the society…

Mumbai attacked again!!

As sad as it sounds, Mumbai is attacked again... How long can we tolerate this? Does life has no value? Whoever is behind these blasts, does really believe that by killing innocent people will solve their problem?? At this moment I don't want to sound politically correct. A particular community is so venomous and intolerant that they can continue killing innocent in the name of their god or to take revenge on a simple actions such as a cartoon or a broken old dilapidated mosque. Deep inside, I can only see the desire of this community to control the minds of people by creating fear psychosis. This is against the very principle the earth exists. People or humans are not born to do things out of fear, rather out of their own good will. By inciting fear we may be able to get things done by some people, but we don't really create a civil society.
I once again appeal people to dump the ideas that preaches hatred and fear in the name of religion. May all be free sooner from the clutches of faith.

Here is the chronology of terror attacks on Mumbai:
12 March 1993 - Series of 13 bombs go off, killing 257 6 December 2002 - Bomb goes off in a bus in Ghatkopar, killing 2 27 January 2003 - Bomb goes off on a bicycle in Vile Parle, killing 1 14 March 2003 - Bomb goes off in a train in Mulund, killing 10 28 July 2003 - Bomb goes off in a bus in Ghatkopar, killing 4 25 August 2003 - Two Bombs go off in cars near the Gateway of India and Zaveri Bazaar, killing 50 11 July 2006 - Series of seven bombs go off in trains, killing 209 26 November 2008 to 29 November 2008 - Coordinated series of attacks, killing at least 172. 13 July 2011 - 13 July 2011 Mumbai bombings

Growing wheat grass

Wheat grass is known as a super food, some say rather "touted as super food" - but I would not agree with them ... I was diagnosed with hypothyroidism and I took some medications, but it did not seem to work out well. I started my intake of wheat grass and it proved to be as beneficial as the medicine otherwise would. However, growing wheat grass is not a very easy deal, but once you standardize how to grow them, then it is a piece of cake. You have to remember to take care of them twice a day, else, you loose it to mold and other natural/unnatural predators. Recently I bought a kit from amazon, that works wonders growing these. I will post the photographs in a while.
The wheat grass kit consist of trays and on the top of the tray there is a flat sieve like structure and on top of that there is a plastic sheet. All can be independent of each other and stack very well.

This is 3 days after germination. You can start washing the culture at this stage. Notice, the culture is on the sieve and the thin plastic sheet.

You can keep covering with this green house cover till day 5 or till you see any mold growth. Once mold growth is detected, take the cover off.

5-6 days growth

Almost ready for harvest

You can roll off the roots after harvest. Notice how the roots form a massive sheath like structure. This is the structure that holds water for the wheat grass culture.

This is when you keep it under sun and water twice a day or you are away from home:((

First soak the wheat seeds overnight and the next day spread them uniformly over the plastic sheet of the  kits. The plastic sheet stack over the sieve and the sieve sits on the tray. Spray water and cover the tray with the black specified cover. Everyday, spray some water twice a day, so that the seeds are adequately moisturized. In about 24-36 hours after getting transferred to the trays, the seeds will germinate and you can see the green epicotyl. Once you see the epicotyl, take off the black cover and replace this with the white green house cover. Keep spraying water twice a day. In about 2-3 days after germination, the root growth will be strong enough, so that the trays can be washed under running water. This prevents mold or bacterial growth. After about 4 days of sowing the seeds, you can take off the green house cover and start washing the trays twice a day. Make sure, you don't keep the trays under direct sunlight or in a windy place. This way, the seeds itwll dry quicker and you will need to water them more frequently. The best place to keep them is inside the house.

I Tried growing mustard green un-successfully on the tray!!

Same fate with methi seeds - did not come out well at all!!

Making Aloo Parval(Potal) Rasa

Today I made mouth watering aloo-parval rasa. This is  a east Indian delight mostly prepared by Oriyas and Bengalis. A very delicious dish served during wedding parties and so on. You can savor this with roti or rice...

Ingredients:

1 KG Parval
2 Big potatoes
1 and half onions
1 and half big tomatoes
5 cloves of garlic
2 cube inch sized ginger
Dhania(corriander) powder.
1 table spoon corriander cumin seeds
1 table spoon turmeric
1 table spoon red chillies
salt for your taste
2 table spoons oil
cook time: 45 mins in slow flame.

Process:

Cut onions and tomatoes into small pieces. Heat one big pan and pour 1/2 table spoon oil in it. After oil gets heated, add cumin seeds and wait till it bursts. Then add onion and tomatoes followed by turmeric powder, chilli powder and salt. Keep stirring and cover it till onion and tomatoes start melting with each other(approx. 5-7 minutes). Meanwhile wash your parval (potal in oriya) and potatoes nicely and then start cutting parval into 2 from the center. Remove the ends of parval. Cut potatoes also into the same size as that of parval. Heat another pan and put the remaining 1 and half spoon oil into it. After oil is hot, put all the vegetables into it and start frying them in slow flame. Take care that it does not get burnt.
Meanwhile, once the onion and tomatoes are cooked(approx. 7 minutes) grate the garlic and ginger into it and stir it for 2 minutes. After it is little bit cooked, pour enough water and cover it, so that onion, ginger, garlic and tomatoes are thoroughly cooked inside. Meanwhile, keep stirring the potato and parval on the other pan, till they all look golden brown(approximately 10-15 minutes). Check water on the ginger-garlic onion mix, so that it is not burnt. Once all the water is evaporated, add some more. After 20 minutes of cooking ginger garlic mix, add the half cooked potato and parval into it and cover. Cook in slow flame, and stir it in between, so that every side gets cooked. In about 45 minutes, you will have yummy aloo parval dish ready.

This recipe requires very little oil, so good for health. Enjoy!!

Rahul Gandhi or Raul Vinci(No pun intended)

I have been forwarded this by a friend of mine, and thought of posting it here... Enjoy reading to know the truth about "Roma kanya and her son".

Rahul gandhi Exposed by an IIT student...
THE CURIOUS CASE OF RAHUL GANDHI

Rahul Gandhi: "I feel ashamed to call myself an INDIAN after seeing
what has happened here in UP".

PLEASE DON'T BE ASHAMED OF U.P. YET

Please don't be ashamed of Uttar Pradesh yet. Congress ruled the State
for the Majority of the duration Pre Independence to Post
Independence.. from 1939 to 1989 ( barring the Periods of Emergency..
Thanks to your Grand Mom Indira G. and a couple of transitional
Governments)

8 out of the total 14 Prime Ministers of India have been from UP, 6
out of those 8 have been from Congress...

I think your party had more than half a century and half a Dozen PM's
to build a State...

The Reason Mulayam Singh, subsequently came to Power is because your
party wasn't exactly Gandhian in their dealings in the State.. So May
be If you look at in totality the present chaos in UP is the outcome
of the glorious leadership displayed by Congress in UP for about 50
years!

So Please don't feel ashamed as yet Dear Rahul.. For Mayawati is only
using the Land Acquisition Bill which your party had itself used to
LOOT the Farmers many times in the Past!

WHY DIDN'T YOUR PARTY CHANGE THE BILL WHEN IT WAS IN POWER FOR SO LONG?

Not that I Endorse what Mayawati is doing.. What Mayawati is doing is
Unacceptable..

But the past actions of your party and your recent comments, puts a
question mark on your INTENT and CONSISTENCY.

YOU REALLY WANT TO FEEL ASHAMED

But don't be disappointed, I would give you ample reasons to feel ashamed...

You really want to feel Ashamed..?

First Ask Pranav Mukherjee, Why isn't he giving the details of the
account holders in the Swiss Banks.

Ask your Mother, Who is impeding the Investigation against Hasan Ali?

Ask her, Who got 60% Kickbacks in the 2G Scam ?

Kalamdi is accused of a Few hundred Crores, Who Pocketed the Rest in
the Common Wealth Games?

Ask Praful Patel what he did to the Indian Airlines? Why did Air India
let go of th e Profitable Routes ?

Why should the Tax Payer pay for the Air India losses, when you intend
to eventually DIVEST IT ANYWAY!!!

Also, You People can't run an Airline Properly. How can we expect you
to run the Nation?

Ask Manmohan Singh. Why/What kept him quiet for so long?

Are Kalmadi and A Raja are Scapegoats to save Big Names like Harshad
Mehta was in the 1992 Stock Market Scandal ?

Who let the BHOPAL GAS TRAGEDY Accused go Scot Free? ( 20,000 People
died in that Tragedy)

Who ordered the State Sponsored Massacre of SIKHS in 84?

Please read more about, How Indira Gandhi pushed the Nation Under
Emergency in 76-77, after the HC declared her election to Lok Sabha
Void!

(I bet She had utmost respect for DEMOCRACY and JUDICIARY and FREE PRESS)

I guess you know the answers already. So My question is, Why the
Double Standards in Judging Mayawati and members of your Family and
Party?

I condemn Mayawati. But Is She the only one you feel Ashamed for?

What about the ones close to you? For their contribution to the
Nation's Misery is beyond comparison.

You talk about the Land being taken away from the Farmers. How many
Suicides have happened under your Parties Rule in Vidarbha ? Does t
hat Not Ashame You ?

THE 72,000 CRORE LOAN WAIVER

Your Party gave those Farmers a 72,000 Crore Loan Waiver. Which didn't
even reach the Farmers by the way.

So, Why don't you focus on implementing the policies which your govt.
has undertaken, instead of earning brownie points by trying to
manufacture consent by bombarding us with pictures of having food with
Poor Villagers....

You want to feel ashamed. You can feel ashamed for your Party taking
CREDIT for DEBITING the Public Money (72,000 crores) from the
Government Coffers and literally Wasting it...

You want to feel ashamed.. Feel ashamed for that...

WHY ONLY HIGHLIGHT THIS ARREST?

Dear Rahul, to refresh your memory, you were arrested/detained by the
FBI the BOSTON Airport in September 2001.

You were carrying with you $ 1,60,000 in Cash. You couldn't explain
why you were carrying so much Cash.

Incidentally He was with his Columbian girlfriend Veronique Cartelli,
ALLEGED LY, the Daughter of Drug Mafia.

9 HOURS he was kept at the Airport.

Later then freed on the intervention of the then Prime Minister
Mr.Vajpayee.. FBI filed an equivalent of an FIR in US and released
him.

When FBI was asked to divulge the information, by Right/Freedom to
Information Activists about the reasons Rahul was arrested ... FBI
asked for a NO OBJECTION CERTIFICATE from Rahul Gandhi.

So Subramaniyam Swami wrote a Letter to Rahul Gandhi, " If you have
NOTHING to HIDE, Give us the Permission"

HE NEVER REPLIED!

Why did that arrest not make Headlines Rahul? You could have gone to
the Media and told, "I am ashamed to call myself an INDIAN?".

Or is it that, you only do like to highlight Symbolic Arrests (like in
UP) and not Actual Arrests ( In BOSTON)

Kindly Clarify.....

In any case, you want to feel ashamed, Read Along...

YOUR MOTHER'S SO CALLED SACRIFICE OF GIVING UP PRIME MINISTER SHIP in 2004.

According to a Provision in the Citizenship Act.

A Foreign National who becomes a Citizen of India, is bounded by the
same restrictions, which an Indian would face, If he/she were to
become a Citizen of Italy.

(Condition based on principle of reciprocity)

[READ ANNEXURE- 1&2]

Now Since you can't become a PM in Italy, Unless you are born there.

Likewise an Italian Citizen can't become Indian PM, unless He/She is
not born here!

Dr. SUBRAMANIYAM SWAMI (The Man who Exposed the 2G Scam) sent a letter
to the PRESIDENT OF INDIA bringing the same to his Notice. [READ
LETTER TO THE PRESIDENT IN ANNEXURE -3]

PRESIDENT OF INDIA sent a letter to Sonia Gandhi to this effect, 3:30
PM, May 17th, 2004.

Swearing Ceremony was scheduled for 5 PM the same Day.

Manmohan Singh was brought in the Picture at the last moment to Save Face!!

Rest of the SACRIFICE DRAMA which she choreographed was an EYE WASH!!!

Infact Sonia Gandhi had sent, 340 letters, each signed by different MP
to the PRESIDENT KALAM, supporting her candidacy for PM.

One of those letters read, I Sonia Gandhi, elected Member from Rai
Bareli, hereby propose Sonia Gandhi as Prime Minister.

So SHE was Pretty INTERESTED! Until She came to know the Facts!

So She didn't make any Sacrifice, It so happens that SONIA GANDHI
couldn't have become the PM of INDIA that time.

You could be Ashamed about that Dear Rahul!! One Credential Sonia G
had, Even that was a HOAX!

THINK ABOUT YOURSELF.

You go to Harvard on Donation Quota. ( Hindujas Gave HARVARD 11
million dollars the same year, when Rajiv Gandhi was in Power)

Then you are expelled in 3 Months/ You Dropped out in 3 Months.... (
Sadly Manmohan Singh wasn't the Dean of Harvard that time, else you
might have had a chance... Too Bad, there is only one Manmohan Singh!)

Some Accounts say, You had to Drop out because of Rajiv Gandhi's Assassination.

May be, But Then Why did you go about lying about being Masters in
Economics from Harvard .. before finally taking it off your Resume
upon questioning by Dr. SUBRAMANIYAM SWAMI (The Gentlemen who exposed
the 2G Scam)

At St. Stephens.. You Fail the Hindi Exam.

Hindi Exam!!!

And you are representing the Biggest Hindi Speaking State of the Country?

SONIA GANDHI's EDUCATIONAL QUALIFICATIONS

Sonia G gave a sworn affidavit as a Candidate that She Studied English
at Uni versity of Cambridge

[SEE ANNEXURE-6, 7_37a]

According to Cambridge University, there is no such Student EVER! [
SEE ANNEXURE -7_39]

Upon a Case by Dr. Subramaniyam Swami filed against her,

She subsequently dropped the CAMBRIDGE CREDENTIAL from her Affidavit.

Sonia Gandhi didn't even pass High School. She is just 5th class Pass!

In this sense, She shares a common Educational Background with her 2G
Partner in Crime, Karunanidhi.

You Fake your Educational Degree, Your Mother Fakes her Educational Degree.

And then you go out saying, " We want Educated Youth into Politics!"

Letters sent by Dr. Swami to EC and then Speaker of Lok Sabha are in
ANNEXURE 7_36 &7_35 RESPECTIVELY

Contrast that with Gandhi Ji , who went to South Africa, Became a
Barrister, on Merit, Left all that to work for South Africa, then for
the Country....

WHY LIE ABOUT EDUCATIONAL CREDENTIALS?

Not that Education is a Prerequisite for being a great Leader, but
then you shouldn't have lied about your qualifications!

You could feel a little ashamed about Lying about your Educational
Qualifications. You had your reasons I know, Because in India, WE
RESPECT EDUCATION!

But who cares about Education, When you are a Youth Icon!!

YOUTH ICON

You traveled in the Local Train for the first time at the Age of 38.

You went to some Villages as a part of Election Campaign.

And You won a Youth Icon!! ... That's why You are my Youth Icon.

For 25 Million People travel by Train Everyday. You are the First
Person to win a Youth Icon for boarding a Train.

Thousands of Postmen go to remotest of Villages. None of them have yet
gotten a Youth Icon.

You were neither YOUNG Nor ICONIC!

Still You became a Youth Icon beating Iconic and Younger Contenders
like RAHUL DRAVID.

Shakespeare said, What's in a Name?

Little did he knew, It's all in the Name, Especially the Surname!

Speaking of Surname, Sir

DO YOU REALLY RESPECT GANDHI, OR IS IT JUST TO CASH IN ON THE GOODWILL
OF MAHATMA?

Because the Name on your Passport is RAUL VINCI.

Not RAHUL GANDHI..

May be if you wrote your Surname as Gandhi, you would have
experienced, what Gandhi feels like, LITERALLY ( Pun Intended)

You People don't seem to use Gandhi much, except when you are fighting
Elections. ( There it makes c omplete sense).

Imagine fighting elections by the Name Raul Vinci...

It feels sadly Ironic, Gandhi Ji, who inspired Icons like Nelson
Mandela ,Martin Luther King Jr. and John Lennon, across the world,
Couldn't inspire members of his party/ Nehru's Family, who only seem
to use his Surname for the purposes of FIGHTING ELECTIONS and
conveniently use a different name on their PASSPORT.

You use the name GANDHI at will and then say, " Mujhe yeh YUVRAJ shabd
Insulting lagta hai! Kyonki aaj Hindustan mein Democracy hai, aur is
shabd ka koi matlab nahin hai!

YUVRAJ, Itna hi Insulting lagta hai, to lad lo RAUL VINCI ke Naam
se!!! Jin Kisano ke saath photo khinchate ho woh bhi isliye entertain
karte hain ki GANDHI ho.. RAUL VINCI bol ke Jao... Ghar mein nahin
ghusaenge!!!

You could feel ashamed for your Double Standards.

YOUTH INTO POLITICS.

Now You want Youth to Join Politics.

I say First you Join Politics.

Because you haven't Joined Politics. You have Joined a Family Business.

First you Join Politics. Win an Election fighting as RAUL VINCI and
Not Rahul Gandhi, then come and ask the youth and the Educated Brass
for more involvement in Politics.

Also till then, Please don't give me examples of Sachin Pilot and
Milind Deora and Naveen Jindal as youth who have joined Politics..

They are not Politicians. They Just happen to be Politicians.

Much Like Abhishek Bachchan and other Star Sons are not Actors. They
just happen to be Actors (For Obvious Reasons)

So, We would appreciate if you stop requesting the Youth to Join
Politics till you establish your credentials...

WHY WE CAN'T JOIN POLITICS!

Rahul Baba, Please understand, Your Father had a lot of money in your
Family account ( in Swiss Bank) when he died.

Ordinary Youth has to WORK FOR A LIVING.

YOUR FAMILY just needs to NETWORK FOR A LIVING

If our Father had left thousands of Crores with us, We might consider
doing the same..

But we have to Work. Not just for ourselves. But also for you. So that
we can pay 30% of our Income to the Govt. which can then be
channelized to the Swiss Banks and your Personal Accounts under some
Pseudo Names.

So Rahul, Please don't mind If the Youth doesn't Join Politics. We are
doing our best to fund your Election Campaigns and your Chopper Trips
to the Villages.

Somebody has to Earn the Money that Politicians Feed On.

NO WONDER YOU ARE NOT GANDHI'S. YOU ARE SO CALLED GANDHI'S!!

Air India, KG Gas Division, 2G, CWG, SWISS BANK Account Details...
Hasan Ali, KGB., FBI Arrest..

You want to feel ashamed..

Fe el Ashamed for what the First Family of Politics has been reduced to...

A Money Laundering Enterprise.

NO WONDER YOU ARE NOT GANDHI'S BY BLOOD. GANDHI is an adopted Name.
For Indira didn't marry Mahatma Gandhi's Son.

For even if you had one GENE OF GANDHI JI in your DNA. YOU WOULDN'T
HAVE BEEN PLAGUED BY SUCH 'POVERTY OF AMBITION' ( Ambition of only
EARNING MONEY)

You really want to feel Ashamed.

Feel Ashamed for what you ' SO CALLED GANDHI'S' have done to MAHATMA'S Legacy..

I so wish GANDHI JI had Copyrighted his Name!

Meanwhile, I would request Sonia Gandhi to change her name to $ONIA
GANDHI, and you could replace the 'R' in RAHUL/RAUL by the New Rupee
Symbol!!!

RAUL VINCI : I am ashamed to call myself an Indian.

Even we are ashamed to call you so!

P.S: Popular Media is either bought or blackmailed, controlled to
Manufacture Consent!

My Guess is Social Media is still a Democratic Platform. (Now they are
trying to put legislations to censor that too!! )

Meanwhile, Let's ask these questions, for we deserve some Answers.

For we are all Gandhi's. For Bapu is the Father of the Nation!

To know more, Try looking for Dr. SUBRAMANIYAM SWAMI. He is the reason
today 2G SCAM is being Investigated!!!

While there is so much heat on corruption charges, Sonia and Rahul hastily retreat to Switzerland
