లేబర్ కాలనీ అమమ్మ వాల్ల ఇంట్ల నుంచి ఖాలీ చేసి పిన్నవారి వీధిల ఉండబట్టి ఒక ఆరు నెల్లు అయిందేమో ! ఆదివారం వచ్చిందంటె సాలు రికాము లేకుంట అడిగేది మమ్మిని “లేబర్ కాలనీ అమమ్మ వాల్ల ఇంటికి పోతనే” అని. సొంత అమమ్మ కాక పోయినా, అమమ్మకు పెద్దమ్మ బిడ్డ, లేబర్ కాలనీల ఉంటది కాబట్టి ఆ పేరు తోటి ప్రేమగ పిలిసుకునేది. మరి లేబర్ కాలనీకి ఆ పేరెందుకొచ్చింది? మిల్లుల పని చేసెటోల్లందరు ఆడ ఉంటరు కాబట్టి ఆ పేరు వచ్చిందేమో ! ఇంతకి లేబర్ కాలనీ అమమ్మ అసలు పేరు చెప్పలే కదా వీరమ్మ! తాత పేరు కనకయ్య!

Prosthetic Limbs =! 20,000 lives

 

DOW supporting prosthetic limbs !

DOW supporting prosthetic limbs !

Giving away prosthetic limbs doesn’t answer the murder of more than 20,000 human beings…

Don’t Buy Any Food You’ve Ever Seen Advertised !

Michael Pollan is one of the nation’s leading writers and thinkers in this country on the issue of food. He is author of several books about food, including The Botany of Desire, The Omnivore’s Dilemma and his latest, In Defense of Food: An Eater’s Manifesto. In light of what he calls the processed food industry’s co-option of “sustainability” and its vast spending on marketing, Pollan advises to be wary of any food that’s advertised … with all this new marketing based on these ideas, my new suggestion is, simply don’t buy any food you’ve ever seen advertised. Ninety-four percent of ad budgets for food go to processed food. I mean, the broccoli growers don’t have money for ad budgets. So the real food is not being advertised. And that’s really all you need to know.

No Bailout for AT&T, Comcast and Verizon

Action Alert
No Bailout for AT&T, Comcast and Verizon

Tell Congress: Don’t bail out phone and cable companies. Build out a better Internet for everyone.

Click here to send a letter to Rep. Rush Holt

President-elect Barack Obama has committed billions of dollars to rebuilding America’s crumbling information infrastructure. It’s a bold part of his economic stimulus plan that will revitalize our economy and our democracy.1

But as Obama’s plan moves through Congress, it’s come under siege by phone and cable lobbyists seeking to turn our economic stimulus into their blank check — written out to corporations like AT&T, Comcast and Verizon with no strings attached.2

Only a public outcry will ensure that public tax dollars go to serving the public interest.

No Bailout for Phone and Cable Giants

Free Press has a five-point plan3 to ensure that any public investment actually serves the public interest. Our plan makes crystal clear that any taxpayer money should support broadband that is:

  1. Universal: focused on connecting the nearly half of the country stuck on the wrong side of the digital divide.
  2. Open: committed to free speech and without corporate gatekeepers, filters or discrimination.
  3. Affordable: providing faster speeds at lower prices.
  4. Innovative: dedicated to new projects only and available to new competitors, including municipalities and nonprofits.
  5. Accountable: open to public scrutiny so we can ensure that our money isn’t being spent to prop up stock prices and support market monopolies.

Building better broadband cannot be another corporate bailout. It must be a buildout for better democracy.

Hotel Taj : icon of whose India ?

- Gnani Sankaran; Tamil writer, Chennai.

Watching at least four English news channels surfing from one another during the last 60 hours of terror strike made me feel a terror of another kind. The terror of assaulting one’s mind and sensitivity with cameras, sound bites and non-stop blabbers. All these channels have been trying to manufacture my consent for a big lie called – Hotel Taj the icon of India.

Whose India, Whose Icon ?

It is a matter of great shame that these channels simply did not bother about the other icon that faced the first attack from terrorists – the Chatrapathi Shivaji Terminus (CST) railway station. CST is the true icon of Mumbai. It is through this railway station hundreds of Indians from Uttar Pradesh, Bihar, Rajasthan, West Bengal and Tamilnadu have poured into Mumbai over the years, transforming themselves into Mumbaikars and built the Mumbai of today along with the Marathis and Kolis
