Work & Leave
Life is busy. I got Desk Top Works through my Friend Uma’s dad. Her dad was working on a deemed University project and also working for some publications including Kalakshethra Publications. She liked my blog and writings, so she talked about me to his dad, and hopes to give me some work. I too like to work. I started my work form Thursday, my typing was slow, so I have to spent time on that till I get practice to type fast, because this is the first time I am typing in Tamil. Really I got nice friends here, with true love:).
Its time to get relax from Computer, Internet, TV and Blogs. I will be leaving to Kodaikanal in 1 or 2 days to get cool from this Chennai hot. Its one of my favorite hill station, when I was there in 99. I was not happy, because I fall down and get injured in my leg; I was visiting places in pain. So this time I hope to enjoy. In my last post I write about My Dream, that what I got yesterday night after we decided to go for Kodaikanal. I will not come to blog for some days. I should also try to finish my half work before I leaving, so will see u next week Bye Dear Friend.

The Kiss
I sensation what is love from Mother’s Kiss
I sensation the Love and another one form her Kiss
Seven seven periods, continuing relation,
In seven seven seconds it presented today.
When I buy the kiss, that second, many stars bloom on the sky.
(above one is my favorite lyrics from a Tamil Movie )
My Dream
A beautiful morning, the clouds blow on my face
Flowers kiss on my cheeks, the snow on the flower cool my face
The smoke on the hills, cover my face
The smoke cross my face to show an angel
An angel, walk towards me, with a cute smile
Kept her cheek with mine cheek,
Gave a sweet kiss on my cheeks. So sweet.

Kept her cheek with mine cheek,
Gave a sweet kiss on my cheeks. So sweet.

Yesterday went to our relative’s village near chennai, with our cousins. It was very fun, enjoyed in the channel, eat Palm fruit, tender coconut and feel fresh air, and get cool by sitting in the middle of the channel and watching my cousin brother’s bath in the pump set water. Unforgettable movements. I like to share by happy with u. have posted some photos here.
My cousins brothers, Aravind and Ashvin bathing in the Pump set. They enjoy every seconds, they don't have mind to come form that village. Aravind, arrogance to stay there for 2 days, but her mother dint allow him.
This dog name was Jony, it was very brilliant. It was a watchdog; it is also a guard for the farms and cattle’s.

My Mother (Happy Mother's Day)
A life without mom can't even imagine. She was mixed in my life. After born on this earth, she was working hard, form her young age to now, she dint get rest. My mom's father and mother are Milk makers; their business is maintaining the bulls, milking and sale. So my mom has to help their parents by taking the milk and distribute to every house early morning, have to feed the bulls at the same time she have to go school and learn. Her brothers and sister also do the same in their free time. Even after getting married to her uncle (my dad is her mom's brother), her hard work dint end, she has worked hard to control the family with my dad's low income. After me and brother born, she got more responsibility on growing us. Its not easy to give life to us, we cant compensate any thing before her pain when we saw this world. Leaving in school, picking up, in between come to our school in lunchtime to feed us food in the noon hot. Who will do this without mom?
Even now also in her 40's she was working hard from early morning to night. Taking care of a 20-year-old boy is an easy work? No one can’t imagine. In my every work she has involved. I really feel form my heart; in this world I am the luckiest person to get a mother like her. When every I get angry or mistakenly understand her, or what every I do, she has a endure nature and taking it easy. I don’t know, in which way I am going to return her. I can’t describe my mother in this single post. I see the god in her, I all pray is that my mom should live long, happily. I know when I am like this how can she be happy, I know if she read this blog, her heart will cry. I hope that she will not read this blog. I this world mother is the only person, service us with out any expectation. I love you mom, I Love you very much, but I haven’t show that. My Mother is equal to God, even more than God.
HAPPY MOTHERS DAY for all my Mother bloggers.

What others think?
What to write, what can I write, with my chaos mind? "Understand" its the main problem for me, even I cant understand me. Nowadays I expect everyone should understand me, I feel that no is listening to me and my mind thinks that I should not talk to anybody. I don’t know how to express what I feel and get rage. I was in dilemma to ask some thing to my parents or others, because when I ask some thing, if they cant do that, I will be hurting them. Or I don’t know if my parents expect me to ask them.
I think you all know how I love my cousin brothers and sisters. I really craving to buy there love (anbu), but my stupid mind doubt, that, there love is real or it comes form sin. I expect this summer with happy mind to enjoy with cousins, but they not even like to come to my house, if I ask them, they are blinking don’t know how to answer. Now my mind realizes that I have mistakenly understood them, I forget to know what they are thinking and how they planed to celebrate their holidays. only Aravind (cousin bro) stayed for a week in my house, now he also gone to his home, after hearing that some relatives has come to his house, and he said it was boaring to stay here. I never got angry on them, when my mom scold them, i ask her to be silent, because i dont like no one to scold them. Yesterday my cousin sister (my Uncle wife) came to my grandma's house, in her school holidays (she was a teacher in Mahabalipuram), I expect at least she will come to my house and stay.
Because of these my concentration was disturbing, what ever I do, it finish in chaos. I was very depress and feeling distress. Really I want a refresh, life is boring, feeling to go some were to a silent and beautiful places (even now also, I think about my cousins, not ready to leave them. I like to take them where every I go, will they understand me). I know that we should not expect, the same thoughts (what ever we think) form others. We can learn every thing, but can we learn what other think? Big question, no!

Short & Sweet (future funtastic)
As we move into a faster, zippy world, English will still be spoken. But the ‘no-time-to-stop-and-speak’ lifestyle will spout acronyms. ECT will be in. So KISS. Confused? Easy, to-the-point communication. So keep it short and sweet. Here’s looking at the future of MAME (messages and ads may emerge) world.
House wanted:
A DEAD (decent, educated, aristocratic dude) want a 1-BHK (bedroom-hall-kitchen) with CLAP (car-park, lawn and pool) in a PARA (posh, affluent, residential area).
Bride wanted:
A THEW (tall, handsome, educated, well-mannered) boy seeks a WITCH (white, intelligent, talented, cultured, homely) girl with RIP (rich, industrialist parents) and UFO (unlimited financial offering).
MD’s message:
The company is in a SCAR (severe crisis-affected run). Request all employees to HOP (help overcome the problem) by WHAT (working hard and timeless). Your TAWA (timely assistance will be awarded). For more details ACHE (assembly in the conference hall everybody).
Home delivery:
We want 2 CRAP (chicken rolls and patties), 1 plate ACTS (American chop suey and Thai salad). For desert BITCH (butterscotch ice-cream topped with chocolate and honey sauce.) MIF (make it fast).
A doggy friend:
I am a BLAB (bachelor, lonely and bored). I want a DC (dog for company), ABCD (any breed, cheap and disciplined). Preferably BBC (brown, beautiful and clever).
Top PIT (politician in trouble):
A senior politician was CTBT (caught taking bribe form terrorists). A TRIP (team of reporters implement a plan) where a SCAMS (spy-cam was attached to the minister’s site). The WEPT (whole episode between the politician and terrorist) was recorded. PUSH (parties created unruly scenes in the House) and OBS (opposition boycotted the session).
The world has shrunk, and so has the word

Who is going to rule TN for the next 5 years?
Even the assembly election held for five states, the election, which is going to, held in Tamil Nadu tomorrow (8th May) have dragged the India’s attention. Reason, the political parties here has given different different promises.
Like hanging the food before a horse, the free promises are swinging before the voters of Tamil Nadu. In this there was a Marathon contests have been held.
Why this all? These eye pack magic’s and daring are only for getting vote!
Every voter has sensation about this. Voters are intelligent than politicians. On the polling day, every one should forget this free promises and think for a minute about the five year rules of ADMK, what are all they have did. Compare their achievements and distresses and decide who should come as next Chief Minister? Jayalalithaa or Karunanidhi? (Or any other party)
In last Assembly election, the voter’s percent is 59 only. Remain 41 percent dint come to polling. Not like that (last assembly), this time voters should show their like and dislike by registering their poll. That is the only one democratic right to fully establish, and helps to stop false vote.
The ink that put on our finger on the polling day is a temporary spot will gone in a week, but if we dint select a proper government we can’t clear the spot for five years. Think and poll.

Azhagai Irukirai Bayamai Irukirathu (Tamil movie)
Yesterday went to Azhagai Irukirai Bayamai Irukirathu (a Tamil movie) in the same Drive-in Theater, with my parents and cousins. Before movie start they put the, Prime Minister Manmohan Singh’s Mauritius visit.
The Story goes like this:
Mano (Bharath) comes from Ooty to Chennai to find his lover whom he saw in ooty. His lover Nandhini (Dheepu), a newsreader in TV, was in love with Prem (Arun Kumar) a cricket player, at the same time Jo (Malliga Kapoor) has a crush on Prem. So the Mano and Jo join hands to separate the Nandhini and Prem, they put many plans to separate them, all plans end up in vain and they are almost went to a stage of getting married. But unwanted differences of opinions lead to them getting separated. In between the flash back goes to Ooty, the mano’s love is not on Nandhini its on Jo. The mano shows his love to Jo in many ways, but she can’t understand, and Jo’s love on Prem has increased, so mano decided to join Prem and Jo, so mano joined as a driver for Prem and sent many gifts for Prem in the name of Jo. Did Prem met Jo and accept her love or Jo realize the Mano’s love? Jo marries whom? Is the remain story.
Bharath has acted well, can realize the improvement in his acting, mainly in the climax scene. Jo as Malliga Kapoor has a beautiful face looks like angel, smiles so cute, cry like a kid. Prem as Arun Kumar is a cricket player (there is no scene of playing cricket), and a businessman. Arun got a good chance to show his acting, and Dheepu is a modern girl, like to put more autograph. The M.S.Basker was acted in a sensitive charter knowing the Bharath love and trying to hide it. Some funny music and words comes in between and cat, bird fight is new. The music is nice, the songs Odivaa Kaadhalaeis nice to hear and the dance movement are good in the song Orampo Naina, and the speed dance of a fat dancer is wonder. Reanuka, who act as Bharath's mother was very funny. There is no special comedian in the movie; the M.S.Basker and the funny plans to separate the Pream and nandhini are comedy. A seaside restaurant was also acted in a important role in this movie. The heroine Malliga craves me by her beautiful smile and disturbed by sleep, last night. if ever one have a girlfriend like her, there life will also be beautiful. I like the thought, that first love and first kiss are the sweet memorable will never destroy till our end. The story is very different. This movie was produced by Cheran, Directed by Vijay Milton and Music my Yuvan Shanker Raja. I enjoy the movie.

Pramod Mahajan death
Bharatiya Janata Party general secretary and Former IT Minister, Pramod Mahajan who was shot by his brother Pravin, was died yesterday in Hinduja Hospital Mumbai after 12 days of struggle.
On 22nd April morning, Pravin left his house in Thane (India) at 5.30 a.m. and reached the Mahajan house in Worli at 7.30 a.m. the Mahajan wife Rekha gave pravin tea and Mahajan was continued to go through the morning paper, the Pravin tried to started a conversation. Worse, when pravin tried to talk business, Mahajan brushed him off and said: Talk to my secretary. Pravin had enough of it and in a fit of range, opened fire thrice. Pravin told to police, Pramod did not do anything for me in life, my financial condition is not good and I have been insulted a number of times and I had pent-up anger. He

, rushed upstairs and took Mahajan to the Hinduja Hospital. Around the time Pravin had surrendered in Police. Pravin’s lawyer has since claimed that his client is mentally unstable. But Mumbai Police said that there was no problem with the state of mind of the accused. According to sources, the reason for the attempted fratricide could be very personal. They say that Pravin, who was into heavy drinking and gambling (though his remand report says that he is only an occasional drinker), was a consultant to several companies including Reliance Infocomm and got paid around Rs 70,000 a month. But the problem was that the money was remitted directly to his wife account. Thus, Pravin, who had accumulated debts, was always in need of money. According to Union home ministry sources, Mahajan had allegedly acquired shares of a prominent company in his Wife name and wanted it transferred back to him. The subject of that morning’s discussion was the deal, and Pravin demanded money for doing the transfer.
Another theory is that Pravin was trying to rebuild his career in construction business and he needed Rs 50 crore. He hoped his brother would help him but that was not to be. His other siblings know Mahajan as the big brother who was always willing to help. Mahajan is the eldest of five siblings. When his father died Mahajan was 23 and Pravin, 9. The responsibility of supporting the family fell on Mahajan. When he moved to Mumbai as general secretary of the BJP's state unit, Pravin followed him. After Pravin’s marriage in 1986, Mahajan helped him buy a house in Thane. Mahajan’s final funeral will be held today.

Save the Water
Summer is here and it's time for mangoes, ice creams, cool drinks and thinking up ways to fight the heat. It is also the season when you would like to have several baths and perhaps even a swim to beat the heat. But have you ever-wondered how different summer will be if there was no water? We take water so much for granted yet we cannot live without it. Almost three-fourths of the surface of the earth is covered with water. You may ask, so why worry about water?
But have you realized that 97 per cent of the water on earth is in the oceans? This water cannot be directly used to meet any of our daily needs. Almost two per cent of the water is stored in ice caps and glaciers and again cannot be used, unless melted. That leaves us with just one per cent to meet all the needs of all living beings. This is what we call freshwater and this is found in ponds, lakes, rivers and some of this is underground. Can you think of all the uses of water in our daily lives? It is this one per cent that meets all these needs.
It is because of this scarcity that we have to be really careful about how this water is used. World over there is a growing concern about the depleting water sources. With the increased population and industrial growth around the world, there is more and more demand on water. In cities like Chennai there is a price on drinking water. (The people in Tamil Nadu are luck to face this year’s summer season, because of heavy rain and the plan of Rainwater collecting). Then there is the reality of the skewed distribution of water. We know that there are some localities in our cities that enjoy water all round the clock, while others are deprived for days. The insensitivity of some is glaring when they use this scare resource to hose their cars or water their manicured gardens, and all the while, people go thirsty. There is also the growing pollution of water sources all over the world. This pollution is caused by water released from several industries or sometimes even an accident or disaster in water bodies, which causes the release of pollutants in the water. There are several areas in the country where water has become unfit for drinking because of this.
So next time you keep the tap running, while you brush your teeth or wash your face think about it. By closing the tap, you may be helping someone, somewhere, to get a bucketful of water.

Want permanent democracy in Nepal
Nepal a famous tourist place, now it is a place for violence and demonstrations. The King Gyanendra dissolved the government in February last year and assumed absolute power and appointed a mainly pro-monarchist cabinet. The King arrests the Prime Minister Sher Bahadur Deuba, for failed to stem Maoist violence and to organize elections. The people in Nepal, protest for this action and political parties did demonstration against King.
Kind announced the state of Emergency and cut the country form other countries. Every day demonstration, arrest, violence held. The normal life was affected, no vehicles was allowed to go, all walk and go every where, the schools, universities were affected and some even closed, many foreign students cant go to their country and there educations have affected. In some districts a decision by teachers’ associations, private and boarding schools ‘organizations and guardians’ associations close Schools indefinitely. The Maoists join with politicians and protest against King and asked people not to pay taxes or make any payments to the government. Press freedoms were suspended under a state of emergency; the restrictions were enshrined in a media law. More than 400 journalists had been arrested, attacked or threatened. Security forces stop at nothing to monitor and silence journalists working for the independent press. Up to 60 private FM radio stations have been ordered not to broadcast news and restrict their coverage in some matters.
The countries of SAARC and US urged the King to call all political parties talk and bring the democracy in the Nepal, but King dint hear there voices. Every one is fighting for Poverty, AIDS, Terrorism and Nuclear in the 21st century; the Nepalese are fighting for democracy. This month the violence and demonstrations have increase. The Seven-Party alliance and Maoists has urged the King to bring the democracy back and reopen the parliament. After weeks of strikes and protests against his direct rule, at least now the King realized his fault and thinks and heard the peoples voice and recalled parliament in April 2006. He also discussed with Seven-part and chose Girija Prasad Koirala as prime minister on 27th April, and ends, more than a year of direct rule by the monarch. Mr. Koirala sworn as prime minister yesterday.
As the fiery came to a close, it appeared that the king’s second proclamation had driven a wedge between the parties and the Maoists who rejected the offer and upped their demand for a constituent assembly. If as the Maoists demanded, the king were prevailed upon to convene a constituent assembly, it would have been his creature. He would have done all he could to appropriate powers for himself in the future dispensation. Anyway the Maoists endorsed the politician’s line. There are two questions, 1. What is the future of monarchy? As events unfold, the king could remain a nominal figurehead much like the monarch of England or monarch could just be abolished. 2. What happens to the Maoists struggles? At least now the Maoists can permanently leave the violence before taking part in the future electoral process. Will they listen?
