Pongalo Pongal (Boiling)

Wish You All a Happy PONGAL

Before i tell my Pongal celebrations, First we see, why we celebrate Pongal.

Pongal is a four day long harvest festival celebrated in Tamil Nadu, a southern state of India. For as long as people have been planting and gathering food, there has been some form of Harvest Festival. Pongal, one of the most important popular Hindu festivals of the year. This four-day festival of thanksgiving to nature takes its name from the Tamil word meaning to boil and is held in the month of Thai (January-February) during the season when rice and other cereals, sugar-cane, and turmeric (an essential ingredient in Tamil cooking) are harvested. Mid-January is an important time in the Tamil calendar. The harvest festival, Pongal, falls typically on the 14th or the 15th of January and is the quintessential Tamil Festival. Pongal is a harvest festival, a traditional occasion for giving thanks to nature, for celebrating the life cycles that give us grain. Tamilians say `Thai pirandhaal vazhi pirakkum, and believe that knotty family problems will be solved with the advent of the Tamil month Thai that begins on Pongal day. This is traditionally the month of weddings. This is not a surprise in a largely agricultural community the riches fgained from a good harvest orm the economic basis for expensive family occasions like weddings. The first day is celebrated as Bhogi and second day is celebrated as Surya Pongal, third day is celebrated as Mattu (Bull) Pongal and The Fourth day is known as Kannum Pongal day..

My celebration

On Pongal day, i usualy wake early, take bath, wear New Cloths and watch Specail Program. My dad will go to shop and buy Sugarcane and turmeric, at 11.30 or 12.00 we take the Pongal Pot to the open space in front of our house to do pooja. Every time i ask my mom to keep pongal on the fire, until it flows, but my mom dont hear my word,and take it as soon as it ready. I will argue with here, that when the pongal flows form the pot, that is the real pongal. I also like to eat the pongal which was cooked in pot, but my mom used to cook it in cooker. On last pongal i compul my mom to buy a new pot and cook the pongal on this, because when we buy a pot for pongal, it will help the poor people who sales pots and they also will celebrate the Pongal. after keeping the pot in open, we show camphor (in tamil Karpuram) to the sun god, and we will shout pongalo pongal. after finishing the pooja, we will be read to taste the Pongal, Vadai and sundal. and will continue the Special programs in TV. I like to celebrate atleast one pongal in Village.

Tommarro will tell about My Mattu Pongal celebration.

Jeevan's Bhogi celebrations

Tommarro is Bhogi Festival. The first day of Pongal known as Bhogi Pongal is a day for family gathering and is dedicated to Lord Indra, the king of the deities and God of the Clouds and Rains. Offerings are made to him to please him so that he blesses us for the plentiful harvest. It is also the beginning of the New Year according to the Malayalam calendar and before sunrise, a huge bonfire of useless things in home is lit that is kept burning throughout the night.

Some years back i used to celebrate Bhogi, before the Bhogi day, i will buy buffalo-hide drums. me my brother and ourneighbouring friends will beat little buffalo-hide drums known as 'Bhogi Kottus' till night 11pm and we will plan how to celebrate the next morning. we all will plan to wake in morning 3.00am, but me and my brother will will wake only after 5.00am. we will not audomaticaly wake, our friend will coe to front of our house and beat the drums.

We will burst, old Papers, and Mats, my friends will tell us to burst Tyers, but my mom will not allow to burst tyers. then finish bursting, me and my friends will go a round in our area, with giving sound on our drums. while we are in round, we need to give heat to our drums, so when ever we see some one bursting fire on front of there house, we will go there and heat our drums, an continue our rounds, we will go rounds untill 7.30am in our round, we take sugarcanes with us, when we get tired, we used to eat. All of them will tell us to broke the drums and put it in fire, but we will not do that, we used to beat drums untill out Pongal Holydays end, we will heat our drums in the cooking stove. some time i will hide the drums some where and tell my mom that i lost my drums, and i will take the same drum next year and beat. My brother will buy two drums every year, he will broke one on before bhogi day, and buy another on early morning. In villages some people will cook pongal in the Bhogi fire, but our neighbours will heat water for taking bath. For the last 3 year we have not burst Boghi and beat drums, because we have grown now no.

Every year on Boghi day, we hae school, because we have studing in christian school, so they will not give leave. when my mom tell us to get ready for school, we will start crying and tell, that our friends all have leave so we also like to put leave, them my mom will complain to our dad, but our dad will tell, only one day no, its ok. on Boghi, we clean our house for next day boghi. Boghi is the last day of Margazhi month, so my om used to put big kolams in front of our house, and we will put colors on that. they are the very happy and unforgetable days. Wish you all a Happy Boghi.

I like to Live

Now a days i am not blogging properly, because of my ideat Computer.

Two days back i was reading Tamil magazine Kumutham. i read the interview of a Mother, and i really worrd & little panic, why i read that. That her son was affected by Duuchin Muscular Dystrophy, she said, that every year , a organ is getting failear for her son. and doctors said that her son will live only for 10 years. why she give this interview because, she thought, any one in this world, will tell i will treat your son or anyone will announce here is the treatment DMD. This news was very shock, for me, because i also a Muscular Dystrophy no, but i have Limb Girld MD. Most people are affected by Duuchin, very rare people are affected by Limb Girld in that way i am little lucky. You know, after reading her interview, i was totaly disturbed and i was cried that night. When i read that he will live for only 10 years, i was thinking how many year will be my life time. some months back also i read in the same book, that a DMD boy was died at his age 25. Now tell, my fear is right or wrong? I like to live many year, and i too hope, but i dont know what god has writen on my head. when i see my age guys on the road, living normaly and being happy. i also like to be a normal boy and like should enjoy this world. i can live like them only in Dreams. I like every one to show the Love (anbu) on me, when they show there love, their was a doubt standing for me it is Love or Sin (pavam parthu) for my Disable

I think the Name of the boy affected my DMD name Eshwar, you know his friends are Sachine Tendulkar, Anil Kumble and Shawalk. What i pray for god is , please take me too my childhood days i have to forget this life, should become free and enjoy with kids. When i saw the small kids, shouting, laughing and Playing with there friend, i was hating my life. i was thinked for long time, can we write this in Blog or not. Now i want a person to hear my feeling, i want to drop my worry anywhere. But where can i go and talk my emotions freely. Can i talk about this to my Parents, no, i dont like to give them my weight, already they are worried about my life, that's why i share this things with you Friends. I am very sorry to tell my feelings and hurt you all. some friends tell me that day we are all here for you, you can share your emotionals with Blogs.

Bore and Happy days

For a week long my computer indicating me there is a virus in my system, but I dint care about it. On Tuesday 3rd my computer hanged and dint open. We call the service and he closed the virus and reinstalled my system, but he can’t connect the internet, he and I tried to connect the line, no use, today came and reinstalled the internet and system and we got the connection. For five days it was very bore, all schools are open, my cousin kids also gone.

This week I had drawn a lovely drawing, of Titanic, will post it here soon. On Wednesday went to Prathana Drive-in to watch Aaru. They can chance the name Aaru as Aaruva, because the main artist of this movie is Aaruva. Surya is handling different getups in every movie; in Aaru Surya is act like an original slum guy. Trisha looks beautiful in this movie, she is very nice is the song Pakkatha enna Pakkatha… in sari. At least in this films Trisha has some sceans to act.

I am spending at least 45 minutes every day in front of my new home, there is a open space have some plants and water was standing, everyday I am seeing different birds, Crane’s, I think there should be some small fishes in that water that’s why the birds are coming, hear some good and new sounds from birds and some beauty full butterflies drinking honey form the flowers. These thinks give me new feel and have a change. I also saw, water snake and two mongooses. The main things I like in my new home is cute kids, there was a small kid name Soundhariya very nice girl, having a beautiful smile on her face every time, some times call me Anna, Anna. Nice to see them playing and driving cycle.

Yesterday a interesting cycle race happen between kids, in this Soundhariya and another kid sitting on the cycle and two girls push them, in 2nd round the two girls pushed the Soundhariya’s cycle and gone some were, the another kid started crying, and got angry went near to the wall and crying for long time, when some one go near her, she start cry loudly, it is very hard to control and peace her. I also experienced like this in my small age. One day my brother and neighboring friend gone some where in my cycle, I waited for long time, and they dint came. I go to my father and cried that Jayanth (my brother) and Karthik (neighboring friend) were gone some were in my cycle and said I want the cycle now, my father try to peace me, but I dint hear his world and fall down and rolled on the floor and cry. I remember that incident when I saw the kids yesterday.

Top 10 Tamil songs I liked in 2005

1. Andankkaka Kondakkari from Anniyan. the Harris Jayaraj music and dance are very nice. They have painted with colors on the Houses in Kumbakkonam and in the end of the song, the fields are very green and nature. The special of the song is Randakka Randakka…

2. Sutrum Vizhi Sudara form Gajini. the Harris jayaraj music is excellent and the song is very beautiful and Asil looks cute in this song, the camera played well. I like the last line of Lyrics Mazhai Alaka, Vaiell Alaka, Konjum pothu Mazhai alaku kannalana Kovapattal Vaiell Alaku.

3. Kummari… from Anniyan. In this song the special thing is beautiful flowers of Amsterdam, the flowers in this song will grow only for 10 days in a Year. The color of the flowers and the dress of Sadha (the yellow dress) the combination are super.

4. Pani Thuli, Pani Thuli… form Kanda Naal Mudhal. this song is very melody and romantic, the voice of Kay Kay & Sherya Ghosal is good and laila looks nice in this song, in I think in other films he dint look that much. And another song in this movie Merke Merke Merke thaan Suriyankal Udiththiduma is also very nice.

5. Uyire Enn Uyire from Totti Jaya, this song is very melody. The lyric of this song is excellent, and the tunes are great. In every movie mass songs will be hit in simbu films now the melodies song is hit.

6. Mayilirage Mayilirage from Ah Aah, the music of A.R.Rahman is very nice this song has some Malayalam tunes. The Soundhariya’s graphic effect is good, importantly when they walk on the water the water sparks is great.

7. Kodambakam area from Sivakasi. The dance of Vijay and Nayanthara is good and this song is better that the three loud songs Vada vada, Deepavali and Ennatha solvanungo. In Kodambakam song the dress of Vijay is not good, he looks like joker.

8. Kaatril Varum Geetham from Oru Naal Oru Kanavu. The Voice of the singer is super, I think this song is singed by Bavatharani, it is very melody. This is my second favorite carnatic music song, after Nila Kaaigirath from Indira sung by Harini.


9. Thee Pidikka Thee Pidikka from Arindhum Ariyamalum. The Yuvan Shanker Raja has remixed the old Bahavathar song. This music is very different. Arya and the gal Dance movements are new.

10. Kumbida ponna Thaivam from Thirupachi. This song is like Devote song, which will put in Amman temple in festival seasons. The voice of Malathi is like devotional singers. The dance of Saya Sing and Vijay is funny and good.

Except this 10 there, are many songs I liked this year, like Unnai Saranadaithaan from Thavaramai Thavamiruthu, Paakaatha Paakaatha from Aaru, Thigu Thigu from Ah Aah, Pou Puthatthu, Thottam yar pothathu from Mumbai Express ect.

The Superstar’s Chandramuke’s all songs are great, so I dint add Chandramuke songs in this list.
