Maruthi Arjun

After months of busy schedules i finally decided to write a blog on burning issues like threat of taliban to Indus Valley Civilization and Tamil-Sinhalese War. After continuous track of these issues which took many innocent civilians in both Sri lanka and Pakistan and created catastrophe there i have decided to throw some light of the situation there through my created male character Maruthi Arjun) who is selfless young dynamic, fearless and patriotic .The creation of Maruthi Arjun is inspired from Hanuman and Arjun of famous Hindu Epics Ramayana and Mahabharatha who have tremendous following in south asian continent.I am not sure if this is blog at all but i do not want to hide my thoughts regarding these burning issues of South Asian continent and deep respect i have towards the great Indian Epics Ramayana and Mahabharatha.Before going further let me introduce Maruthi Arjun who is doing his PHD in International Studies at Massachusetts Institute of Technology ,Boston.I would not tell more about him right now but you will identify him in coming lines the greatness of this young man then why wait lets go meet Maruthi in NewYork.

Location: Nov 28th 2008 , UN (United Nation's) Head Quarters, New york City.
Event: UN International Meet.

Maruthi was one of the few people who were invited for the UN's meet to discuss international issues and possible solutions to defuse tensions between different countries of the world.Maruthi was happy of the fact that he got an invitation for the event but at the same time he was very much worried about situation in India and Srilanka where his elder brother who is a National security guard fighting against terrorists in Mumbai and Sister-in-law, a UNICEF member who was among civilians held by LTTE.Maruthi was given an opportunity to speak about South Asia's growing problems with poverty,terrorism and economy.Maruthi who was emotionally stressed took the center stage to give the short presentation in a given time slot of 3 minutes.

Maruthi: I am honored to be in ever-growing city of New york and to be hosted by United Nations organization for international peace . UN's role in organizing this event to discuss various burning issues through out the world and eager to help countries find a solution is deeply appreciated.I have never imagined i will be in position to speak to diplomats of various countries and it is very cherishing moment but at the same time i am deeply disturbed of the fact my own brother is fighting against evil forces in Mumbai India and my sister-in-law got struck along with many civilians in Tamil-Sinhalese war who else could explain more regarding the ground realities about south asia today other than me.Today you are watching a historical country known for its rich culture which dominated the world for many centuries with its economy is struggling to flush handfull of people who killed many many hostages, brought the country to its knees ,from its posh-five star hotel in India's financial capital Mumbai. India along with China shared the top spot for largest economy for many centuries.Since many hundred years India has always given warm welcome to its foriegn guests,trading partners of-course some of them took advantage of it ruled the country for centuries but still it retains the same spirit when comes to hospitality towards foreigners.Today India and its neighbors Pakistan and Srilanka are suffering from high rates of poverty and shortage of natural resources are troubling them more.If approx 30-40 percent of population is living below poverty line then how will these countries be happy and prosperous and this is also the major cause of the what your are seeing today 26//11 Mumbai Attack where majority of terrorists are from families living way below poverty line.We need help from all major economies of the world but that helping approach should be honest one and trust to beleive in us. We need technology, we need nuclear energy plants, we need collaborations in our space programs ,our strength is our trained human power which is of superior quality.South Asia needs India to be permanent member of UN Security council, i have always been an optimist which is why i still believe the South Asian continent will retain its lost glory. Thank you very much.

Maruthi received standing ovation for his speech which impressed many people,later he calmly came back to seat .After his speech the the event had a closing ceremony with a promise that all the nations will work together with a positive spirit which binds different human civilizations all over the world.Maruthi walks of the building in hurry and calls back home to find out the situation and sees himself relieved a bit to know that the NSG 's have completed their tasks and his brother was wounded though in safe condition.

Location: Penn Station,New york city.

Maruthi boards Boston bound Acela express to go back home.On his way back home Maruthi gets a call from his brother who was wounded during Operation Tornado Mumbai. Wounded brother urges Maruthi to go help trace his Sister-in-Law who was stuck amid war between LTTE-Srilanka's Army.With this i will end this blog but stay tuned for my next blog about how Maruthi reacts and goes to Srilanka in search of his brother's wife.
