Stolen Antiques from Mandsaur

Last week I came across the article (click the link to read the article) Antiques Scrutiny in US
on Antiques Scrutiny in US.

On April 17, 2006, a stolen Vishnu statue worth about $30,000 was turned over by ICE(Immigration and Customs Enforcement) to the Indian government. The 250-pound sandstone statue was taken from a temple in the city of Mandsaur(My home city) in the Madhya Pradesh state of India sometime in 2000,

I hail from the same city, from where this Vishnu statue was reportedly stolen. But sadly Neither do I nor many of residents of my city remember about this precious loss.

Similar to above story there are thousands of reports with regard to loss of statues and historical artifacts from our centuries old temples and monuments.

Our negligence, lack of care ,corrupt Government bodies and hot antique markets in US and Europe are primary reasons for it.

It was really painful for me to read the above story.Will we ever be able to preserve our rich ancient heritage????????

Sanjaya Malakar

Everybody knows who Sanjaya Malakar is. If you still don't know the link below can be of help.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sanjaya_Malakar

I am not big fan of music but I followed him because of his name which kept reminding me of his Indian origins. Initially, I thought he is of Marathi origins because his last name ends with "kar" but, no He is not Marathi. He is son of Bengali father.

One of the important attribute which clearly attracted people's attention was his unique style.Be it, his famous hair style or way of talking .

You only gets recognized if you are able differentiate your self and not become part of crowd.One thing is sure, to achieve success, you have to believe in your strengths and be always what you are..............

if u call it a talent, i wud love it. but at the same time u have what i dont have...
so it's relative

we are unique in our own ways!

Person2:

btw since we are in same boat we both will sail or sink!!

Person1:
thats right. bcoz i dont know ur uniq talents. only u do...
nope we wont sink
