What is the name of the President of India?

India has elected(??) a woman President after 60 years of Independence. But very unfortunate that the people do not know the name of the President. This was clearly evident when the commentary was given for the Republic Day Parade on Rajpath. And mind you well it was a commentary on Doordarshan. The National channel owned by the Government of India. It is the channel that has the most viewership inspite of advent of the cable tv. And lets not forget its the Congress led government that is leading the country. Which means they have complete control over the telecommunication media especially Dorrdarshan.

Is she Pratibha Patil or Pratibha Devisingh Patil or Pratibha Devisingh Shekhawat? All this while she was always referred to as Smt. Pratibha Patil, even when she was the Governor of Rajasthan before she was elected the President. Incidentally Rajasthan is the state from where her Husband hails, so practically she is Pratibha Shekhwat. But her official records says she is Pratibha Patil.

Now when she has become the President, why is it that she is been referred to as Pratibha Devisingh Patil? i do not see the reason why? Has it got anything to do with the Male dominance?

The worst is her husband was called Devisingh Patil. Lets get the facts right he is Devisingh Shekhawat.

So i guess its for the President to instruct and well publish her ACTUAL name. So that such blunders do not happen atleast on National television.

Aamir's done a commendabe job!

A friend and me have been deciding for the past few days to go watch Taare Zameen Par! But some how i was not really able to. Finally today i could spare some time and we went.

Very frankly, i found the first half a lil slow and dragged in some parts. But the second half was excellent. Kudos to Aamir for the excellent job that he has done. The movie is worthy of all the praises. And it is unbelievable that this happens to be Aamir's first movie as a director.

What appealed to me the most was, that the father of the child was just not ready to accept that there was some problem with his son . And i think this is absolutely true in the real world as well. I guess it is natural of Parents not wanting to accept that the child has a problem, as each parent wants his/her child to be the best. In case of Ishaan, he was fortunate enough to have found Nikumbh Sir, to realise the issue with him. What if he had not noticed him?

The child actor Darsheel needs SPECIAL recommendations. It was just amazing the way he has essayed the character with the bare minimum words.

When i was watching the movie I felt that the storyline was close to that of a boy who stays in my apartment. This boy called Akshay suffers Autism, due to which he is unable to differentiate between the sexes, cannot bear with loud sounds, does not understand grammar etc., but Akshay also plays the piano very well. He very well knows how to make people appreciate him. Like when he is playing the piano, he doesnt like to be disturbed with applauses. So once he is done he asks the audience to clap for him. I really find that so cute.

This blog is dedicated to all those Special Children of God! I hope each one finds a good teacher and does well in life.
