And the Cultural Programs started, many school and collage students participated and danced. the dance that impresed me is Thappatam and Nathasvaram and Thavil of our Tamil Cultural music. And the Pride started, the every department of Tamil Nadu Government was participated and done good cars.

After this I saw the Republic Day pride of Delhi, which is held in front of India Gate. Where our Hero of India, President A.P.J. Abdul Kalam host the Indian Flag and get the respect form the Three force of Army, Navy and Airforce and saw the pride of army vehicles, Latest weapons and Missiles and Soldiers march fast, this pride shows the strength of our Nations Defense Security I had a good opportunity to see this, I thanks to the television channels to show a good programe.

Many children have participated held a Dance Programs with every state culture. And next the decorated vehicles of every state was gone one by one, it was very beautiful. Tamil Nadu decorated vehicle was a model of Temple car (Thare) and the Buddha car is very nice. The Chief Guest Abdullah bin Abdul Aziz al-Saud was interestingly watching our Pride; our President was explaining him about our Indian Force and showing our Indian State’s cultural dance. Finally the Bike riders show daring by soldiers in there Bike and doing Pyramids and the powerful Mig-29’s daring on the sky really amused the people who where gathered to see the show. The Nature has give hand for the people, because the Sun dint show his face until the show finish. I hope to see the same happy every year on the Republic Day. Vande Matharam.

Unforgettable Republic Day


26th January 1950 is one of the most important days in Indian history as it was on this day the constitution of India came into force and India became a truly sovereign state. In this day India became a totally republican unit. The country finally realized the dream of Mahatma Gandhi and the numerous freedom fighters who, fought for and sacrificed their lives for the Independence of their country. So, the 26th of January was decreed a national holiday and has been recognized and celebrated as the Republic Day of India, ever since.


Five years back on the Republic day, we have lost thousands of people to the earth, in Earthquake. On January 2001 the Indian state of Gujarat was rocked by a huge earthquake measured 7.6. The earthquake in the village of Voundh, 50 kilometers from the state capital Bhuj. Before the disaster the village had a population of 9,000, now it has only 2,000 people, what a cruelty. It has gone 5 years, but now also the people who are affected in the earthquack dint return to there normal life, many people are living in Temperory shelter provided by NGO’s and government, which turned in to there permanent shelters. In the urban areas the government sanctioned Rs.1.5 lakh to urban and 90,000 to ruural areas to construct houses, but they dint get the relief fully. A series of tin sheds in Anjar and Bhuj areas come as surprise, these virtual hells house people form the middle and lower middle class families lies who were tenants paying a paltry rents before the quack. They needed to produce a rent receipt for getting a plot of land and a no objection certificate from the landlords to be accomodated in the buildings that came up where their houses once stood.

The people who are living in temperory shelter has got just Rs.12,000 as compensation, with this amount how can they construct a house with this amount. Some residents in Anjar area are operating shops from rented places, they also did not have a rent receipt, from shopkeeper’s they have turned as Labours. Also the place is far from the walled city so evern the owner-shopkeepers prefer to operate form makeshift locations. The community members and the local panchayat’s divided most of the houses among themselves which was alloted for the people affected by Quack, and they also rented the houses. In this earthquack 1,057 women lost their husbands in the quack, and there relatives are also not treating them in human manner. There are 162 childreans has become orphans. The people don’t know when the quack will come again and they are continuing their life in fear, because after the January 26 Earthquack, the earth had tested them by mild quack.

Tamil Politice

Sorry Friends i cant post the pictures, here which i took this week on ECR, the the photo lab said they can't take the photo from the cell, because my cell dint have Bluetooth.

What i have writen here is just my words about our Politicians

Why do we put Vote on elections? because the person who wins and come and do some good things for public, and talk about our problem in the Assembly or Parliment and get solution for that. But in Tamil Nadu, the Opposite and some alliance party MLA are just go to the Assembly and just walk out telling some pretext or just wait for the ruling party to tell some thing and when they search for some point to protest. today i was watching the News, many opposition parties are walk out from the assembly and giving interviews for Journalist that the Speaker and Chief Minister dint give respect and dint leave us to talk. I think in Assembly the Speaker will give time for all MLA to talk after Launching some Plans. But the Opposition are not willing to hear what the Ruling Government is telling, when they hear only, what the government is telling, then only they can understand the Plan of the Government. After the Plan launched in the Assembly, the speaker will alloud the MLA's to tell there thought on the plan and their suggestion.When the time come for the MLA's suggestion to tell in the Assembly there will be no one in the Assembly, because all of them are walked out, except the Ruling MLA's. Now i have a doubt why we put vote, for the person who is not taking our problem to the Government. When the Speaker dint allow the Opposition to speak in the Assembly, I think they can give a complain to the Governor. Can u see people with out any problem? For the poor people the problem is how to earn money, for the middle class the problem is how to save the money for their future, For the rich the problem is how to protect there Moneys from the thives, like this we cant see a Nation without Problem.

What is the duty of the MLA's? there duty is to find the problem in there Assembly area and take that problem to the government's view and get a solutions. But when the MLA's walkout every day on the Assembly session, when they will talk about the public's problem and solve.

You all know that only in Chennai, the central government have launched a Setop Box to see all Channels. This plan has crossed at least a year. because of this Setop Bok I cant watched my favorite channels like, Dicovery, National Gerography and Animal Planet and some good channels. The rich people can buy Setop Box, but for poor people thay cant buy Setop Bok and they can only watch free channels. But now the State Government has announced to take the Cable system under its control to reduce the monthely rate and take the Cable Tv to below poverty line people, so they can also there favorite channels. The government decided to take the main Cable systems of Tamil Nadu the SCV, Hathway and some others to its control. The SCV was supported by opposition party, so yesterday all party's who are supporting the Opposition have walked out of Assembly for this issue. The SCV is collecting too much rate from its cable operatiors, so the operaters are collecting high rate from the public. When the government take the cable system, they will reduce the rate and many poor people can get benefitted.

My thought is they the MLA's are giving importans for this small matter Cabel TV, but they are not taking many series isuue like this. For example, i have gone at least 3 time on the East Cost Road in Chennai, in a year, whenever i travell, I saw many people are living in Temperory shelters which was provided by Government and some NGO's for the people who are affected by Tsunami. But any one MLA or other politicians have care for them and thing for built a temperory house for them, and in the recent rain many famers have last there crops and living without money for food. Every year on Mattu Pongal, in south Tamil Nadu many villages conduct Jalli Kattu (Bull Catch), in this many people are died and many seriesly injured and lot's of bull's are getting wound and giving stress to them, did any MLA have taken this issue in Assemply and get walk or Protest. the answer for this is No. They are only trying to collaps this government and get it to them. The Tamil Nadu opposition party is also a main leg for central government, with this power they can do many good things to Tamil Nadu with the help of State government, but they are using this power how to collopse the state government. These things not only happening in Tamil Nadu, in all over the World, who know's when are they going to do good thinks to people.

Happy Week End :)

Yesterday i went out with my mom, dad and cousin brother. we plan to go mahabalipuram. First i went to my old house, where my uncle is living, to pick my cousin brother, and i am happy to see the neighbours and some friends who are working in my uncles Mechanical Shop. after meeting them we travel in the East Cost Road. I used to go one day in 3 months on ECR, my favorite outing is traveling in ECR. I was enjoying every seconds in that Road. Every time when we travel on ECR, we used to stop the car on the muttukadu Bridge and see the sea water entering into Muttukadu lake and saw people going in boat under the bridge. In morning this lake water level will be very low and we can see the fishes and the sand in the water, when we see in evening the lake will be full. I took some photo's of the sea water entering the lake in my Mobile Phone. i realy enjoy the travel between Kovalam and Mahabalipuram,because we can see the Beach very clear and we can feel the sea breeze.

We thought that our Sister (cousin) should also come with us, then it will be very fun, so we call her (she is in Mahabalipuran) from kovalam to get ready, so we pick her and our cousin brother's 2 kids and went to Thirukalukundram (a small town near chennai). When every we go out, we used to cook food and take, so this time my mom cook Puli rice and Thaieer Satham, and eat that food under a tree, near a field. I like to travel in village side. I have travelld in Tirukalkundram-Mahabalipuram road 3 or 4 years back, after that i have travelled now, last time i was travelling on this road all laks, ponds and farmlands are drought with out proper rain and water, this time i saw many lakes have filled with waters and the farmlands are very green, because of last year's good rain. Thirukulukundram is famous for its Vedakereswarrar (Vedagiri hill) and Thiereputasundhari Ammaiyar Temple. We went to Thirukulukundram at 2pm so the temple was closed, they will open at 4.pm. I took some photos of the Temple and the Hill Temple where the god Vedakereswarrar is staying. So we go to the Temple Tank, suprisely it was full, and we round the Temple Tank and the Hill with our car. Every month on Full Moon day, many people will walk round the Temple Hill, (like Thiruvannamalai) i have also rounded this temple hill and climbed the hill some years back, will tell u that story one day.

We return to Mahabalipuram at 4.pm and leave my Sister and cousin brother's kids. We have some relatives in Mahabalipuram, so my mom and dad went to visit them, so i and my cousin brother stayed in our sister's house and played with the Kids. We waited for 2 hours, till my parents come. we leave Mahabalipuram at 7pm, i said my dad we should go to house before 6pm, because in night, it is difficult for my dad to drive the car, but what to do, it was late and dad drive the car slowely. Traveling in night on ECR will be very nice, the road was very good and the road was shining in dark, they have fixed Radiam stones in the Road. We reach the home at 8.30pm. It was very fun and i enjoyed this travel. Every year From January 15 to 29 the Tamil Nadu Tourisam is conducting a Cultural Dance Festival, in Mahabalipuram, many people from India and many foriegners will come to Mahabalipuram to watch this Dance Festival, i have asked my sister to catch some photos of that festival, so i can put it on the Blog.

Another water problem for Tamil Nadu

Water problem is a big problem in Tamil Nadu. For the last 4 years Tamil Nadu dint recive proper rain and many farmlands, rivers and lakes are drought with out water. But last year november, Tamil nadu recived a history rain, people will not forget this rain soon. All the rivers and lakes over flows, In some places lakes have broken, many Houses on the banks of rivers and lakes are surounded by floods, lakhs of people shifted there house. In Chennai the famous Coovam and Adyar rivers were also overflows, because of deep dippresion in Bay of Benagal and some people have broken the lakes, and the chennai look like islands. In tamil nadu the Cuddalore is the worst affected district. In last years rain above 200 people have died.
River Palar
But now the rain is not the problem, The problem is for River Palar, which grows in Andhra Pradesh and flown in TamilNadu. I have seen water runing in this river 10 years back, but for the last 10 years, the sand lorrys are runing in this river and many Private Water lorry owners are putting bores in the banks of Palar and suppling warter to chennai. In last year rain, the Palar recived some waters. In this situation the Andhra Pradesh government have planed to construct a Dam across Palar. Already the Tamil Nadu government is strugling to get water from Karnataka and Kerala. Every year we beg Karnataka to open the water form its dam which constructed across River Cavery. Cavery birth place is Coorg district in Karnataka. The central government has introduced a Cavery inspection team to slove the problem and get the share of water to Tamil Nadu, but the karnataka Government is not compensationing with this team. Because of Karnataka's decision, the river cavery was drought, lakhs of hectare farm lands are getting wast, and lakhs of people are afecting in hunger and abstinence, some times the poor people taking the pioson and killing themself.

Tamil nadu also have a problem with kerala, in sharing the Mullai Periyar River water. The Periyar birth place is Tamil Nadu, but it goes into Kerala and then comes into Tamil Nadu. The Kerala government has constucted a dam across this river (Periyar Dam) in Idukki distict and dint allow to increase the dam hight and release water. So some heacter of farm lands are affected. Now the problem stars form Andhra pradesh. When they construct a dam across Palar River, north Tamil Nadu will compulsory affect. and the main water base for Vellor district in Tamil Nadu. when last year december, when President A.P.J.Abdul Kalam said the only way to solve the drought and flood is to join all rivers in the country, when Kalam's thought comes true, the farmlands and people will get a good future from this river. when the Andhra Pradesh government construct a Dam, it is a work opposite of Nature. It is very rare to see water run in Palar river,when the water runs in palar the surrounding areas Land water lever will rise, when they constuct a dam, we have to lost a river and we also have to strugle with Andhra Pradesh Govt to release water when ever we want. Andhra Pradesh Government's decision is wast of money, so they should withdraw their aim of constructing a Dam across this river Palar, and spent the Money to do good things for poor people, at least they can earn the Vote from them, in next Assemble Election.
