This year, different year for me!

We are near to the end of the year 2006, with some of our dreams and expectation we are getting ready to welcome the New Year 2007 in 10 days. Think the times is running fast, and I feel like we have just now entered to 2000, but the truth is we are near 2007. For me this year was very different, as I am going to finishing my 1st year in this new house if the day come 26th December, after leaving my old one were I was lived from my birth. First time in an apartment with new environment, new neighbors, new feelings, freeness…are very new experience for me. I too have missed much here what I got in my old place like cousins, helping friends in uncle’s workshop, entertain through watching the road, vehicles, people holding waters from tanks, very friendly neighbors and lot’s of memories.

I really feel positive here than there. The decreased shyness of facing new people, walking through calipers before unknown wavering what they think, using wheel chare for outing; pollution less environment, green open front with rain water standing for month which cerate’s the situation of cranes and birds visit often. So cute and sweets kids of neighbors, makes the evening more fun and entertain with their sweet speech, rushing here and there with buddies. Independent moving with parent’s help, without expecting others to bring me down from the 1st floor like my old house. Long foot walking in the evening brings the nature air on me with out polluted, with admiring the setting sun and the birds crossing through our sky with sounds. It’s plus to live near sea with a km distance, makes easy for Sunday beaches. Unforgettable wishes from one of my neighbor grandpa… as equal to positive have also faced much negative situations too. Dad faced a accident, by taking bed rest for couple of months, which brings sorrow to every one in the family and the recede in my walking create a difficult for my parents; losing the new Scooty pep after 5 days of register; little problem with maintenance people in the flat; as I much expected I haven’t got any friends with apartment mates, hasn’t need to worry till I have u all here. The main problem is the night mosquitoes, which trouble our peace sleep, hunt on frogs which visit often and the boring environment which avoiding cousins visiting or staying with me.

What I miss more is my helpful aunty, cared uncle, cousin sister and my lovely cousin brother, who supports me more! Next to my mom and dad, I like him more and hope he would be on my side for life long. My deep mind feels that they may think that I have gone a long from them, how can’t I realize it when I was familiar with them. But I couldn’t think a world without them and my love doesn’t decreased on them, instead the wish has increased to spend much time with them. The workshop guys whom help me physically from my school days till now, who never expect non-for their help. The ayutha pooja function, which would be held like a family function with cousins and relatives around…. the memories of my old house are more, and there won’t be any best place like that. The helpful neighbors who support us in troubles situations, the friendly shopkeepers near by. Seeing my old friends as they pass through my house are a sweet thing, with a doubt still they remember our days we spent… lot and lot….

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)
