Medal or not?

In the recent 15th Asian games, which was conducted in Qatar capital Doha, Indian runner S.Shanthi won silver medal in women's 800 meters, for India and who belongs to the district of Pudukottai, Tamil Nadu. But now the Shanthi, who brings great noble for Tamil Nadu through her silver medal in Doha, faces a rare issue. The news has come out (here and here), she has failed to prove her women’s nature in the test. Some news through press said the Indian Athletics conference and the Olympic council of Asia have decided to withdraw the medal from her.

In this situation an officer form Indian team for Asian games told there was no mistake on Shanthi in this issue. The Indian Athletics conference try’s to win medals in cross cut, so they continuously bring her to participate in the international games. Another officer form technical committee said after 1988 the international athletics conference decided and brought to force, not to conduct the test on women’s nature. It must be done only, if any complain register on the player. As she already competed and won the silver in the 800 metres in the Asian championships in Incheon, Korea, last year and In August, she also won the 1500m gold and the 800m silver in the South Asian Games in Colombo. I don’t know why they creating an issue now, leaving about her gender when she won these medals for us.

This really brings only worries and mind breaking to the players; then what is the purpose of bringing their energy and hard work for our country. Whatever test it can be, it should be done and the report must submit before the player participates in the games. Leaving that coming now and telling her that ur hard work is waste, and return the medal. There are many who defraud and buy medals using encouraging drugs, but when a person worked hard through her talent, these types of disappoint break their self-confident and talent. Even though I appreciate the Tamil Nadu government’s decision of giving her the encouragement money as they announced for her achievement for our state. It would be very nice if this issue becomes a rumour.

Bright Sunshine (Veyyil)

Watched the Veyyil (Tamil Film) on Friday evening at the open theater, its an alive story of human sensation! It have been a (little) while I watched a heart melting film like this after Pithamagan and Thavamai Thavamirunthu. Some of the films will really induce an expectation when it was announced; like that Veyyil was one, which make me expect a best. The Big head of Tamil Industry, Director Shanker’s S pictures was an important for the expectation, because I hope shanker’s selection will never go wrong. His early films Kadhal and Emsai Arasan made a difference on the screen, by new story, which helps to bring talented artists. In this film it brings a Best actor before us, it’s none than Pasupathy, just simply amazing performance. Hats off!!

Veyyil bind with a father, mother and 2 brothers who live in a drought village in Virudhunagar. Father Sivanandi was angry person, who has a goat meat shop, his son’s Murugesh & Kathir studing in school. One day Murugesh, who was a MGR movie lover, cuts the school and went to cinema. When Sivanandi knows this he gives him severe punishment of tying him in the Sun’s heat with undressed. By this Murugesh felt insult and run from the house with his mother’s jewels and join in a cinema theater as a cleaner, near chennai and step-by-step he becomes the operator of the theater as a youth. By the time he makes love with a teashop girl; and their love & the secret meet in the operator room comes public and as usual the opposition of parents induce the girl to suicide and this creates a big wound in Murugesh mind and the exit of Theater sent him to a situation where to go! So he decides to return to his homeland and walk towards it, in between his brother Kathir was well settled with a advertisement company and was impressed by Menakshi, an advertise announcer and makes love with her; and faces a group who can’t digest Kathir’s growth and like to destroy him. In this, what are all Murugesh faces in his homeland and with his family; how kathir solve his problem with the angry group and how murugesh helps kathir are remaining story, which said in a sensitive way, which melt our mind.

Pasupathy as Murugesh makes our eyes wet by his wonderful acting, while romancing with Thangam, in the song sequence of Uruguthae maruguthaea… and fighting with the angry group shows him as a hero. When he craves for his mother’s love and got it from his childhood girlfriend Pandi (Shriya), in the song sequence Iraivanai unargera tharunam eathu…. he show his childish mind and its very soothing. The climax were pasupathy save his bro while taking the knife stab in his stomach, his angry of killing the villain with dozen stab was unacceptable, but when he dies he makes tear in our eyes. Barath as Kathir shows a mature in his acting as the head of the family, while shouting on Meenakshi (Bavana) in the recording room and chasing to collect her voice for AD’s make little smile on the face. Meenakshi looks like our next-door girl, and has freshness in face and cute smile. While crying on the show of pepsi ungal choise she makes us laugh. Important thing in this film was the small boy who acts, as the childhood Kathir was very sweet to admire his prank acting, and to my surprise he looks like my brother (yes my bro looked like him while he was kid). The theater where Murugesh works was an old theater in Thirukkalkundram; my mom has memories of watching films in that theater in her childhood days when she visits his aunt’s house.

Songs have comes quite good from G.V.Prakash kumar. Kadhal neruppin nadanam was pictured in the short streets; makes wonder its real or settings. Veyyilodu Vilayadi song was very sweet, the childhood wishes have pictured in the drought land and sun shining lights with group of village children take to the days I spend in the village. The village song was creating a feel of the village festival, which would have the dance and drama, in this Barath’s participation was funny to admire.
This film tells the relations of the human life and how it affects the children’s mind when there parent’s strictness crosses its limit. Till now I can’t come out of the film and the character are realistic. Veyyil (sunshine) melt’s our heart.

Cute Papa

I found these cute pic's in a AD at Hindu metro plus, which show the sweet kid in different angle and pose! Liked to post it here :)

Sounds Different

Chew the quid

In Morbi. 60km from Rajkot (Gujarat), Gauri grabs attention for her addiction to Masala Paan. Nothing new. Just that Gauri is a cow. She visits Jagadish Sindhi’s paan shop at least six times a day. Sindhi says that it started with him giving her paan once. She returned another one. Gauri continues to come and Sindhi readily obliges.

Cobra cuisine

You may prefer the bubbly, but he loves the wriggly. Neeranjan Bhaskar of Arah district (Bihar) has been devouring snakes for over two decades now. Well, he eats them alive. The 35-year-old black magician claims he has eaten over 10,000 snakes. His favorites are Cobra and banded Kraits.

Best stroke

Almost every day for 12 years, Abdul Malik of Padinjatumuri village in Malappuram (Kerala) has been paddling a rubber tube across the Kadalundi River. It is the shortest way for the teacher to reach his school. He reaches there in just 30 minutes; it would take one and a half hours by buy. All that it costs him is the occasional change of rubber tubes.

Service 12*7

A workshop that functions 24*7? A dream comes true for motorists. Well those in Indore (Madhya Pradesh) are lucky ones. The nameless workshop owned by Mohammed Salim has never closed since 1947. For that very reason, it doesn’t have doors! The oldest workshop in Indore doesn’t charge extra for late night service. The Salims have been running the workshop for four generations.

Like a chimney

Creating smoke rings can be fascinating, but ever heard of a man who smokes with his ears? Meet 24-year-old Dharmendra Singh on Bikaner (Rajasthan), who can huff and puff through his ears. Initially he tried smoking with his ears for fun, but it soon became a habit. Now he smokes 20 cigarettes a day. It also endorsed in the Limca Book of Records and also in the Guinness Book of World Records. (check the videos here of how he smoke through ears)

Only for Kalam

As the election to Presidential post to be held in June 2007 approaches and pressures has built up favoring Kalam! The President of India is selected by less than 7,000 member of Parliament through votes, but already 70,000 email have voted in President’s website that A.P.J. Abdul Kalam should not say no to second term as 12th President of India. Not only the ordinary citizens, the lawyers, administrators, scientist, young politician…. are standing for the Kalam who speaks from the poor, positivity, secularism, culture, music, dreams of happy and peaceful India.

As before only little of them know about Kalam as a scientist, teacher, who reach big posts in the government departments and the brain behind the India’s first Satellite Launch Vehicle and defense Missiles. But as president he has become the role model for many youths and touched the hearts of a large number of people. His Mission on India 2020, which has, plans to develop India into a knowledge superpower and into a developed nation by the year 2020 had spoke his interest on India. His brave and bond actions on speeding in the sky on Sukhoi bomber and going deep in to the sea in a submarine, visiting the world’s highest war field Siachen glacier and refusing to sign on the Office of Profit thinking it was patently unfair and against the spirit of the constitution.
Above all his tremendous rapport he has built with both the haves and haven’t of society. He reaches out to the poorest, the richest and fast expanding middle class to take care of public interest. Issued a 3lakh cheque from his own account recently for his coach full relatives who visited some places in north India and gifting to orphans on national festival days. His invite of constables, special persons and award winning panchayat presidents to rub shoulders with the mighty on Nation days; providing mission models for states which can be implemented in a bipartisan manner and improve educational facilities to make India a knowledge superpower. The highlights of setting up the Africa Satellite to provide distance education to 50 African countries and his replay to the US and European scientists in October to a question of what’s India’s core competence? (As he said: Finding the leadership to handle a billion democratic citizens with a multi religious, multicultural and multilingual mix). Has felt us never before seen such outpouring public support for a president.
We have much to tell about him to give a second chance as president. He tries to meet as much people as possible during his working day, amide his hectic schedule on flying, and touring, kalam has time for the finer sensibilities of life. When we all are thinking about his second term, president said recently that he would love to go back to teaching after his work as president is over. Here I like to express my thought on this, as a president there is no doubt he is the Best and best forever!! Did he come as president again or not we get only positive from him. If he becomes president we (students & youth) can’t share much of his good thought and intelligence, as he will be busy with the job of president, with little time to spent with us. Without any political or party background, our India will be very safe in his hand for another 5 years if we give him chance for President. As a teacher he can create many intelligent and positive thinking students for our future India to work towards the developed India. Its positive or negative if it spread through students it would reach soon, all our parents are listen to their children, grandparents listen to their grandchildren and every one in the family sure listening to their children what they speak, so it catches to everyone. Post can be anything, but his thoughts are same, its India!!
