Great brothers

“Don’t leave any terrorist to escape” these are the last words said by the major D.R.Raman of Chennai who lose his life in the gun-battle with terrorists at Tangmarg area of North Kashmir on third October. Another army major K.P. Vinay was also died in the battle. D.R.Raman and K.P.Vinay are friends from the time of learning in Army campus and working so close in army. The didn’t die just to die, they destroyed nine terrorist before falling; that too Raman lost life went to save his injured friend. It’s the fire between terrorist and army; actually it’s the love between Vinay and Raman that took away both of them at same from us. Vinay was to be a bride-groom this month end and he was distributing the invitation to all till before the day he was killed and Raman was newly wed and was to hold a child in few months.

I was touched by this when knowing through paper. We not even know there face, they may be one in the thousands, but they lost there life for our security. When I was thinking, I felt they are very special to us, as any one would really be ready to leave there life for others, but what they did for country is a best service in all. Even at the stage of fighting for life, Raman has encourages his other colleagues showing his hand to the winning mark and voiced in brave do not leave any one. The loss is not for there family or for Kashmir, its nation’s loss. The every step by soldiers at every corner of the boarders and inland is prevention for big happening strikes for our lives. A true sacrifice for them to there mother country, we keep on saluting and respecting their unexpected and reasoned loss.

The four day account

Some movements on last four day with weekend went fine for me; hope u all had a wonderful time too. Day one had to experience a delight evening, where a plan whether to go or not to the beach and at last went to the shore that was empty. The cyclone situation above and over the bay of Bengal, where the deep dark clouds surrounds and wishing for a heavy pore, that only last for few minutes in heavy drops. It was not a normal Saturday beach where to sight the cricketers, children’s on sand with little walkers. Sometimes i wish for simple things like to have a walk holding the umbrella what dad had some walk on the evening. I was listing to radio one just feeling the weather; there was a fun program on live where the dialers gave opportunity to scold whom they want. It’s a good laugh for me and as well to mom sitting in back seat.

Sunday was to spent more times on entertainment box, the continue of programs the laziness to glance the news papers even though did to know whom are all was to participate in the Monday bandh. It clears that it will have 80% strike throughout state, but it didn’t extend, the afternoon flashes the bandh was canceled by Supreme Court and only hunger strike by ruling party. Though it was not arranged by government, the employs of govt. must to attend the office on oct 1 and dad was to go. There was no bus running, the stands without buses, where they put on strike individually and dad was dropped by brother. When I was looking, there was none, but surprisingly one of my cousin bro visited home on Monday, I was really felt happy for his visit. First I teased him, who are u, where have u come, mistakenly have u entered here instead of some other house?... but I have thanked at least now he thought to spent with me.

I distant all of my other works and make sure I haven’t lost interest him to spend with me. Both watched movies, played carom board, laughed, pass comments and enjoyed the movements. Had lunch and dinner, he slept beside me and both engaged with conversation till late night, played games on computer, browsed net and it was a day fully with him. Except weekend beach, nothing going out where our grandma was not well with health so I didn’t force dad to take me. I hope from the night of September that the October would be a good doing month and carry changes for me, as per what happening feels somehow satisfaction. My power wheels have some problems in moving so it creates little troubles the movement free. There is so much to type to finish the work and being away for last few days that stored more, so have to over spend time on it and couldn’t post or find time to visit many buddy’s blog. Want to share my days to know the dears here what happens. I apologies and would check u all soon.

# The last post that hold the Gandhi painting fills here continuously for three years on Gandhi’s Birthday. Thank you friends.

Piece from his dairy

As I was whizzing through the air yesterday
and looking at the trees,
I saw that beneath all the change
that these mighty trees daily underwent,
there was a little something that persisted
Every leaf has its own separate life
It drops and withers
But the tree lives on
-MahatmaGandhi

Gandhi has not written much about nature, music or drama. But in this diary we could read a letter he wrote to Kallenbach, his close friend in South Africa in which Gandhi talked about trees.

2+1+1 =

For them it’s a protest, for us it’s a happy holiday that connects four day with Oct 2 as Mahatma Gandhi B'day. For me every day is like holiday that’s usual, it was my dad who gets four days + today (that he took for some personal work) = five days leave. I was expecting to ask him take me somewhere, a long ride on the car out of city. I have planed to watch some movie that I want, this week I watched two films Unnale Unnale and Karuppasami Kuthakaikara both has a decent script. Yesterday there was a large thunder storms like stopping the heart beat. Most parts of the Chennai receive heavy rains and with hailstorm, how unlucky I couldn’t get the hailstorm in my area.

Those days the bandh means joy. We don’t know for which purpose the bandh is conducting and what is bandh means, but was threaten by elders that someone could throw stone on u, to avoid us going out. On the day we join with our friends, where all shops closed and roads without vehicles, we wander as free birds. Next to our house there are two shops (we call it nadaar kadai) which own big wooden cupboards outside the shop where they keep the chocolate bottles and some ropes for hanging bananas, so these are our play areas. We stand on the cupboards and swing in the ropes and for hide and seek its best times to hide under the cupboards. Talking continuously for hours sitting on the woods, collection empty cigarette boxes and folds it into square shape which we used to play with flat stones. These days bandh was not like we had, many children miss the day being always before PC & TV. Have nice time all :)

Below is a very Cute song from Lesa lesa, from where I become a fan of Trisha. Hope you like too!

Ocean of Sethu

No need an introduction for what is happening in India, what brought every political comments without leaving a day in the headlines news. This is one of an example that development destroys the nature in my view. The Seathusamudram project that connects the Gulf of Mannar with Palk Bay that provide direct sea-way through Indian territorial water from eastern to western coast without circumnavigate Sri Lanka to reach another side. I always look that politics should work apart from religious, rich, poor to support the need for people, not like using the religion for the political stand. Let it be the Adam’s Bridge or Rama Setu (a chain of limestone shoals or 103 small patch reefs lying in a linear pattern with reef crest, sand clays and intermittent deep channels stretching for 48km and the depth varies from 3ft to 30ft between India and Srilankan water) which has varies believes that for hindu a land bridge built by Lord Rama to reach lanka to rescue wife sita from demon king ravana; Muslims belief of Adam, the first man used to reach Adam’s Peak in Sri Lanka where he left a giant footprint. Some Christians ascribe the footprint to St Thomas the apostle, while Buddhists assign it to the Buddha and some hindus in Lanka worship at as Lord Shiva’s and call the mountain Shivanolipatham malai. How many believes surround this bridge?

Except from beliefs there were continues oppose from diplomatic assertions from Sri Lanka, apprehensive admonitions from environmentalists and fishermen’s, the project moved on to process in 2005 after years of discussion within governments, from where the idea comes from Commander Taylor of India marines in 1860. For over 3 years the dredging was going on and the project near the end (bridge) came the problem from a political party of a religion who brought ban in Supreme Court to prevent destruction of the Rama Bridge that it was built by Lord Rama. Now the Court has to play whether to proceed or stop the project itself. Could this project be useful or not, we loss the natural formation the coral reefs that prevent us from the tsunami hitting the coast faster and with great force and also destruction of traditional fishing grounds.

There could be apprehensions on security, environment, resource exploitation… The safety of shipping and channel itself could be a major issue. There are chances, the Cyclones can take up the dredged sediments or an accident can block the channel for a long time in the chance of absence of quick clearing machineries. There is a good benefit for the Tuticorin-Colombo and secondary ports between Chennai-Nagappattinam. There was an expectation of employment for fishers and coastal people. The projection charges for piloting a ship through the channel may be Rs. 60 lack. The difference in money spent on fuel between the two routs is only Rs.7 lack and it also saves the distance and time of 254-424 nautical miles and 21-36 hours. The number of dredged channels are two of 89km with total length of 167km and proposed depth of 12 meters in a budget of Rs.2,427 crore.
