Dear ICC,

First of all, I am very happy to know that you were kind enough to admit

my family into your monetarily rich party featuring your more glitzy

friends. I am also sad that you are planning to reduce your party size bydoing away with us for the next party. I thought you were delighted to

have us at your parties every time.

Do you remember, sir? We used to be with you right from your first party,

the one you hosted in England in 1975. My uncle from Africa used to tell

glorious tales about it to me. He enjoyed it a lot. He told me how he got

to meet so many big names of cricket. he only heard of many of them,

didn't see them until he could face them just 4 yards away. He used to

say that he didn't have TV sets in those days, and only a few radio sets

in the whole city to know about this game he had inherited from thefriendly people who came to his home. Only one of his kids has attended

your party since.

You wouldn't even give us a smile, but we took the invitation itself as a

great honour. In 1983, my Lankan aunt danced better than your Kiwi

friend, and that was the first time you took a photograph with us. Our

family was very excited. We thought we had attained the pinnacle of joy

that day. But one day 13 years later, she won the dance competition on

your floor, and you adopted her into your family. We were so happy that

some of our kids will grow in those posh households of yours.

But, most of us still live in the ignored land. We didn't complain much, sir,

to be honest. We were just happy enough that atleast one of us came tothe grand event, so that he or she would return home and tell us about it.

It was like being the first boy in the family to graduate, or earn in a big

city!

In 1992, we actually played the party game better than the big man of the

house, The Lord of Marylbone. We used to spend years and years just

looking at him play it like there was no other to match him. Of course, his

two favourite mates, one with a strong accent and one who liked

Caribbean music played it like him. The three of them were our idols.

By 1996, the African uncle's son became good at dancing and beat ouraunt (who now ate in your house). She was proud of us that day too! You

had also invited more from our family, so we could have fun amongst

ourselves, when you had a high profile buffet in your "big wigs only"

mansion. We enjoyed playing in the mud, but we always wondered what

was inside. Our aunt was in there, but she never came out. I think she

became a much better dancer than we ever knew. Money can buy many

things they say. We were happy that she was the best dancer on her own

floor.

My cousin from Zimbabwe had also improved on his singing skills for the1999 party. My cousins Scotland (Scottie) and Kenya (Keens) took along

my baby sister from Bangladesh to the game. We were so glad to watch

on the public TV that cuz' Zimmy was allowed to have dinner with the

sizzling stars after the evening party ended! And sister Bangu came

home all smiles, after her last drawing fetched her a big bar of chocolate.

Do you realise how much that means to us? We pasted all of Bangu's

Letter to ICC. With love, Minnows.

drawings all around our house, and everybody would tell her that she

was going to scale new heights. Little Bangu could just smile and eat her

chocolate bar.

In 2003, you allowed Namibs and Keens to host our own party game. We

all came to their beautiful houses, and we also saw Keens beat our aunt

again. She wasn't that happy, but I'm sure she was proud of us. We wereproud of us, for sure. Little Bangu couldn't draw better than uncle Canny

from Canada, but we gave her another bag of candies so she would not

lose hope on herself. She just nodded and went home with the

candybag, promised to come up with better art work next time. You see,

we all loved what we did. You took the centre stage, and we danced

around you. You came to our home, and sometimes you didn't even

come to our place though we invited you. We had to come to your dinner

to discuss about it, but we were had to leave before the dessert, since

we haven't had much of them, and didn't know how to handle the spoon

on the ice cream. We spilled the soda, and we had to leave.

You invited more of us to Caribbean uncle's yacht. We were so happy,

we came there in different colours from around the globe. We brought in

new tricks. We were outplayed in many competitions in the party by your

glorious friends, but we had our moments. You remember my baby

nephew from Bermuda playing slug fest when the Indian musician was

singing? We had fun, they all had fun. And remember Bangu? She had

grown into a beautiful artist, and could also sing better than your Indian

girl friend. She had so much ego that she went home early. I heard her

friends started teasing her very much. We didn't mean to hurt her, we justwanted to show her Bangu's multi talented personality. Bangu's modern

art were better than Zuid Avrica's, you know? Zuid was surprised his

painting got ruined. My sister in law, Irine came in too. She too sang

beautifully, she is good at country and folk. But you would never know

that, as you lived in pop and rock and whatever you call it...rap? Your

Pakistani star actually slipped a tone while trying a duet duel with her.

You see, we always had a nice thing or two to do in all your parties. Even

in this year's party, we have been at or around the lime light, but you

treat us like your slaves. We have to carry your party caps to the ball

room. You can't have the party if we don't help you decorate it. You say

we don't know table manners, while you never care to teach us. You say

we don't know how to party, while you never let us party with you in the

any other place. We can't learn from just one party in 4 years, sir. We canwatch you swing and sizzle, but when we try, we don't look that cool. We

know it, but we can't help it, since you always shun us after the party

hours.

And because your girl friend got angry last time, you scheduled your

party such that we can't enter into your swimming pool and enjoy it for a

little longer time. Sorry sir, if you are trying to indirectly say that you don't

like us at the back of your photograph, we are very hurt. We do look

beautiful, we don't use make up. But, you fail to see the point. You rich

people have a little too much of pride to stoop an inch below yourglasses of suspect and look at our beauty.

By closing the doors on us for the next party, what do you think I will tell

my children about all these fun? That we had a good time watching you

guys light the crackers, and that our children may not even get the

privilege to see them?

What we had held as a dream is diminishing every day, and maybe some

day our kids will call it a fairy tale, too much to be real.

Sir, we enjoyed whatever you allowed us, and we will make sure that wewill eat your cake in this party, and make a point or two before we leave

for good.

Yours lovingly, (we still love you)

Mr. Minnow & family

Poetry


The day when thunder cracked through the ground,

The sea rose to plunder whats not its own.

We were locked away in our hopes and dreams,

And all were washed away, nothing left unconvinced.

Scattered were the things of sticks and stones,

A chance, I presume, given to atone.

The sky sung with lights and of tomorrow,

But will it change the bygones and unsaid sorrows?

All that once was is now lost and withered,

Bathed in vivid hues of grey and red.

Few remain to tell the horrors of that day,

Etched in the hearts filled with daunt and dismay.

Oh sea!! Why do your hands keep reaching for my feet?

I have nothing but forgiveness and repentance to give.

Take my tears for my loved ones to where you have kept

safely tucked in the dark realms of your depth.

Liberation in Libya has been the trending news in what has been the most

dramatic turnarounds in the Middle Eastern nations, hitherto ruled by

monarchs and autocratic individuals, the best known being Col.

Muammar Gaddaffi or should I say notorious? Having virtually ruled the

country for over 40 years since 1969, Gaddaffi has made more enemiesthan friends during his authoritative regime, which is bound to end the

way he probably wouldnt want to. For the last four decades, Libyans

have witnessed suppression and divisive politics, and hence been filling a

dormant yet steady cauldron of outrage and rebellion. The current revolt

against the authoritative chunk of leaders is no surprise its just a venting

of the collective wrath in the hearts of the public.

Apparently being fuelled by the rather successful civil uprising in

neighboring Egypt, it has been almost a month since the first display of

unrest and outcry in Benghazi, an important city, and Tripoli, the capital.

The Day of Rage, on Feb. 17th sparked continued displays of public

outrage against the government, extending uptil the present day. With

already about 3000 people dead and several thoussands injured, Tripoli

has been a ravaging warlike zone as angered Anti Gaddaffi forces fightthe powerful loyalists of the Gaddaffi government, now a spent force

politically.

But how did the people strike at the right time? What could have possibly

weakened the 40 year dictatorship by one of the most powerful rulers of

the middle east? The factors that promoted the belligerence and the

events that turned in Gaddaffis weakness is quite a story in itself.

Gaddaffi had always been known as a shrewd and imposing politician

with a steel fist when it came to power. Among his intelligent tactics were

filling his political network with sons, blood relatives and closeassociates, and dealing with his critics the hard way. While he had

always maintained mixed relationships with the West, a pact that

Gaddaffi signed with the US has now proved to be his Achilles heel.

According to the deal, Gaddaffi sold his rights to employ or sell nuclear

weapons for a huge sum of money, back in the early 2000s. Gaddaffi

had earlier been known to possess a huge inventory of nuclear material,

therefore this came as a sigh of relief to numerous western powers. But

having now landed into a critical position he least expected, Gaddaffi has

slipped into oblivion due to fear of the uprising, and tactfully blames the

West as to instigating the current revolts.

Whether or not Libya moves towards democracy, it has certainly taken a

brave step forward in trying to annihilate one of its strongest barriers to

democracy in the form of a once war hero, now a tyrant. A new belief

has been instilled in the hearts of the Libyans who have looked up to

their Tunisian and Egyptian counterparts. Tomorrow will arrive, soon.

w w w . w i k i t o d a y . o r g

K

Karl Marx once suggested that all demographicentities will sooner or later be gobbled up intosocialism and democracy. With Egypt alreadyhaving moved on to the next level towardsdemocracy and now Libya stepping in towardspeoples rule, one can only ponder over Marxs

unmistakable view of the future.

Music


When David Gilmour left for the home lights of England (on a truck!), hed

have little wondered that he was going to make arguably the most

influential lineup in rock music since The Beatles. Beginning his guitaring

stint in France and Spain with a few friends, he played for a band they

formed together. His big break came much later though, in the form of awrithing Syd Barrett then the frontman who had grave difficulties in

performing and writing for Pink Floyd, thanks to his depression from drug

abuse. With his blues influenced soulful solos, he quickly notched up the

fame ladder, and quite predictably, by the late 70s, he was the most

loved member of the band.

While the first few albums garnered the attention of the general people

who were by then tired with the popular blues rock for their folk soaked

musical style, the subsequent ones witnessed a paradigm shift in Pink

Floyds sound from country to classical and jazz influences. Then came

their most significant album, The Dark Side of the Moon a complete

deviation from what was believed to be standard rock music. Critics

began to turn into fans Pink Floyd had arrived! Following it up with suchalbums as Wish You Were Here, The Animals, and The Wall, Pink Floyd

made its presence felt in the popular music charts.

Pink Floyds USP was not exactly about their bluesy melodies and

stirring lyrics, as compared to their remarkably progressive sound, given

the rather sparse technology at that time. The music was characterized

by the psychedelia of kaleidoscopes, the faint wailings of UFOs, and the

cosmic echoes of heavenly bodies, all put together in resounding

harmony. Adding to the out of the world effect was the heavily

engineered lead guitar patches and the unforgettable solos that are stillpart of regular must listen lists in rock music. What began as a band

experimenting with psychedelic riffs and patches eventually ended up

bringing about an irrevocable revolution in popular music.

To this day, Pink Floyds live shows (with the alive members) are a

plethora of scintillating color lights, an amazing surround sound and their

evergreen waves of progressive music, as has always been. David

Gilmour, now a solo musician, continues to enthral huge audiences that

grew up listening to Pink Floyd with his timeless musicality and technique

that is beyond physical aging.

Listen to these: Comfortably Numb,Another Brick in the Wall The

Wall, Shine on You Crazy Diamond Wish You Were Here, Hey You

The Wall, Echoes Meddle, Wish You Were Here Wish You Were

Here, Learning to Fly A Momentary Lapse Of Reason, High Hopes

The Division Bell, Money,Time Dark Side Of The Moon.

All the pain I had from the last nights bumpy ride from Trichy to

Rameshwaram went away once the strong breeze of fresh air brushed

my face. After a strenuous effort, I open my eyes to see the heaven on

earth. One of the most picturesque views I had ever seen in my entire

life. Blue Ocean, rocky beach on one side and sandy on the other, greentrees behind the beach, huts arranged along them in the most perfect

manner possible and in front, the engineering marvel of the pre

independence era, the Pamban Railway bridge. I am standing on the

recently built vehicle traffic bridge along the Pamban Railway Bridge,

which is also called Pamban Bridge. It bridges the Rameshwaram Island

with the mainland of India, which is divided by Palk Strait.

The view of f ishermen

fishing, their boats dancing

to the tune of the wavesand prize catch shining like

bronze medal in sun is

something that capture my

eyes for so long that I

forget what made me come

here. Suddenly, I hear a

tr ains whistle r ising

between the chorus of waves and then I turn my head to the Pamban

railway bridge. An engineering masterpiece sculpted in steel, so amazing

that it took my breath away as my eyes witnessed a train actually rollingover it.

Surprisingly this 93 years old railway bridge, constructed in 1914, is

made of steel in worlds second most corrosive environment. Bridging a

gap of 2.3 km., this bridge stood as the longest bridge in India till Bandra

Worli Sealink recently surpassed it. The bridge is a cantilever bridge

which accommodates a single broad gauge track. Not surprised? Well,

the interesting thing is that still it stands a functional double leaf bascule

bridge which facilitates the passing of ships under it by opening up in the

centre from two sides, a feat that still remain a challenge to the worlds

greatest bridge builders.

As I stand here admiring the shining steel wonder against the blue water,

with a slice of juicy pineapple in my hand, a group of travelers get off

their bus. Within no time I am surrounded by another bunch of awestruck

admirers covering their mouth with their fingers as if trying to avoid a fish

to pop into their open mouth. Well, I cant blame them it is something

which will leave anyone spell bound. After a 45 minute conversationamong my friends which only comprised of whoooo ., amazing,

breathtaking, superb and few other words that came out of excitement

but didnt mean anything I start walking back to the bus stand on the

Rameshwaram side of the bridge. Though I walk back to keep up with

my schedule, I just cant resist looking back at Pamban for one more

time.

And just when you start thinking that you have seen it all, you see the

monumental Charminar standing in front of you. Every step you take

towards it, it imbibes you all the more into its charm and when you reach

this whole new world, the speakers start roaring allah ho akhbar . and

suddenly the entire place turns solemn and all you see is the Charminarand the Mecca Masjid.

As you move ahead, a distinct fragrance attracts you to one of the tea

joints next to Charminar. Well, sipping Irani tea next to Charminar may not

be a dream to any ordinary person, but once you have done it, your

senses will keep reminding you to do it again and again. The haunting

aroma of the badi patti blended with the amazing flavor of chotti patti will

seduce your taste buds in such a way that calling back miyan for another

cup becomes formidable.

Just as you keep piling empty tea cups on your table and crush the

cigarette butt on the floor, oh yes you can smoke here without eyebrows

being raised at you, you see the antique clock embedded on theCharminar and as you stare at it, you eventually reach a different era.

Sitting with your close friends, as the tea keeps flowing, the

conversations get endless and blame it on the Irani Chai, you eventually

pour your heart out. Your brain soothes, your body relaxes, your

problems find solutions and suddenly you forget all the pain you have

taken to reach this place, as you cherish every sip of the amazing tea.

But here, its not just the tea or the Charminar its the ambience, the

surrounding, the shining pearls, the fragrance of unique perfumes, thedimly lit endless arcade corridors of the bazaar which blend among

themselves to give you this unforgettable experience. Though all the

flashy cafs claim that a lot can happen over a cup of coffee, the Irani

Chai at Charminar does deliver.

The Baghira Log hut Room no. 8

It is a moonlit night. Sitting on the staircase, the surrounding space

opens into the wilderness outside Sal trees interspersed with thick

bushes. Be it the rustle of leaves at a distance due to some subtle

movement or the distinctive calls of the deer and the peacock, it gives

you goose bumps. The tiger is on the prowl. Is it a pair of glowing eyes

far away or merely an optical illusion? The answer is uncertain It is arare mlange of fear and ecstasy.

Occasionally, a characteristic stillness marks the surroundings the

leaves unruffled, the silence untainted. The moon bathes the distant

hedges in white, creating an eerie effect. An unsettling feeling takes over.

The unpredictable darkness replaces the morning innocence. You fight

the irresistible urge to return and lock yourself safely in the room. But

wait Is it totally safe in there? The window with the glass panes

A shadowy movement somewhere around the staircase makes you miss

a heartbeat. You spring into action but it is just your neighbor coming to

stand on the porch. You return to the stairs, more vigilant than ever. The

night has a dreamy tinge to it.

The pristine silence is intermittently broken by the nightly calls of the

barking deer and the nightjar. Also, a casual chatter over coffee prevails

at a distant hut. You reflect on the hardships of recent bygone days. The

pent up mind was driven to extremes. Now, at last A gentle breeze

regales the senses. You feel a divine unison with the natural aura around

and get lost in thought and in time Suddenly, the light from an official

vehicle exploring the forest, rips apart the darkness It must have

unnerved something out there. The calls become shriller You feel jittery.

Sleep beckons the exhausted body but the mind is restless. Is it safe to

enjoy a sound sleep, wholly unguarded, unaware of the dangers lurking

outside? Others sleep off You walk up to the window and stare outside.

The night is getting darker A forest, indeed, has a life of its own and the

Kanha is unlike any forest you will ever see

Rockumentary


Metal music has been the fastest growing form of rock around the world,

and is undergoing some remarkable evolution by fusing with other ethnic

forms of music: as a result, we have Scandinavian rock, death metal, and

even raga based Indian metal!

Meanwhile, another bunch of metal artists are constantly extending their

creativity and musicality into a more complex and experimental form of

rock called Progressive Rock, but thats a different story for a different

post!

So here they are: put up the volume and shake up your home!

Metal

FADE TO BLACK by METALLICA

The pioneers of the Thrash genre, the trend setters in combining

aggressive power chording with melodious acoustic guitar patterns, the

rulers of 80s metal music thats Metallica for you. Made during their

heydays when their feud with rival band Megadeth was at its boiling

point, Fade to black is the typical Metallica song, complete with anacoustic intro, brittle vocals, heavy riffing and a crazy shredding solo,

characteristic of Kirk Hammetts dexterous guitaring.

immense fame, outrageous music, lots of pleasure and lots of drugs. He

Radiohead was one of the few bands that triggered the shift of popular

progressive style of this song won critics and fans alike, and took

Radiohead places. It remains a staple in every of their live performances.

Bodybuilding


Remember that ambitious resolution you made this New Year was it

something like trying to shed some weight or bulk up your arms or legs?

Any good? No? Well, youre not alone. A majority of physique related

resolutions every New Year is more likely unfulfilled than successful. Ask

anybody and theyre going to fret about how they've failed at it the lastfew years!

Picture this January: All the gymnasiums are full, the roadsides filled

with swanky people on the run, sometimes twice every day, and theres

not a single park in town you cant find folks on their toes trying to shed

some pounds. Come February, and half of these just disappear. By

March, theyre all gone, having run out of the inspiration, the will and

resolve, and of

course, the

physical andmental energy

necessary for

these routines!

Most of these

people end up

quitting fitness

or bodybuilding

routines for

good, citing several reasons: theyre either tired or bored, or eveninjured. Halfway down the line, theyve lost the drive towards their

physical goals, and thats bad. Whats worse is that theyll soon find

themselves back at square one the very same state they tried not to be

and are bugged down by disappointment about all their wasted efforts

through their short lived routine. Now this is quite a crowd that needs

some address.

One has to bear in mind that fitness is not like money that can be

inventoried and leveraged at will, but more like food for the body,

required at regular intervals and in continuity. I mean, doesn't make

sense eating up enough food for a couple of days, does it? A fitness

routine, much like nutrition, is a mandate for every day, in some form or

the other, whether done as a conscious effort, like aerobics, or a by effort, like walking to somewhere. Which means heaving out a weeks

quota in a single session, or running 20 miles at a time in place of a 4

miles a day week is just not going to work if you were ever able to do

them, that is. The trick is to choose the limit wisely and focus on

regularity, rather than trying to ambitiously raise the bar.

Aptness and Properness are probably the most important aspects of

working out, yet least attended to. A workout session is, theoretically,

deliberate infliction of some damage to your muscle cells, so they can

recover to form stronger and bulkier tissues. Thats how it works out.What follows logically is that there is a cap on the damage you can do to

yourself a limit to which the body can recover. You cant just go about

heaving fifty pounds just because your favorite star does that in a movie!

An improper workout is simply damage and exasperation.

And keep the drive going! Your mind must picture what you intend to

achieve and constantly prod you towards that direction. This might seem

like straight out of one of those inspirational books but its the truth. It

does work! Watch inspiring movies, read about physique maniacs like

Arnold, Bruce Lee, and get a point or two from their methods, their goalsand the means to achieve them.

"Remember, every time you go work yourself out, you're going to look

better than you did ten minutes ago." Sylvester Stallone. I couldn't think

of a better way to end this.

Rev up your Routine!
