Chennai Sangamam week!!

Chennai Sangamam festival, aptly called Namma Theru Vizha (Our Street Festival) was inaugurated by chief minister M.Karunanidhi in the IIT open stadium on last Tuesday. Like the December month musical pageantry and some like Dhurga festivals in kolkatha. Some think that haven’t happens before like how the city is celebrating this Chennai Sangamam which was organized by poet Kanimozhi with Tamil center constitution.

It’s by the tourist department to give hand to this festival to create awareness about our traditional arts and artists among chennai people to decrease the relation between city people and rural artists. This festival started on Tuesday by 6pm in IIT campus; by continue of rural arts, songs, dance and much more programs. This festival would be ending today by 6.pm at Elliot Beach after the weeklong programs in Parks, beaches, theaters and some important place where people gather. This festival has Miellattam (Peacock dance) Kaliyattam, Mattatam (Bull dance), Karaka attam, Oielattam (grace dance), Puliattam (Tiger dance), Singam attam (Lion Dance), Kattai kaal attam (stick leg dance) and more…

We can deem this Chennai Sangamam is like creating a praise and own courtesy for rural artist between people. Organizers of this festival have decided to conduct it every year. The funds collected by these programs will be used for good service is a solace news. You can get more details here of this Festival. we hope this would bt the first step towards many more big celebrations of our traditional arts and artists. The Tamil enthusiasm would be remit to people and more importantly for our young’s by bringing out arts to streets.

Language of nature and life

Here comes a lovely lyrics about language. It was written by poet Vairamuthu, for Tamil film Mozhi. It has very simple words, and loveable. My most favorite one is: “If we understand the language of hearts, Humans no need a language” that express the true feeling between humans. It’s more awesome if u could listen to this song in Tamil, here I bring it in global language (English) to share how beautiful these lines are.

Wind’s language is sound or music
Flower’s language is color or fragrance
Sea’s language is waves or lather
Love’s language is eyes or lips

If we understand the language of nature
Humans language is no need.
If we understand the language of hearts
Humans no need a language.

Wind has no directions when it blows
Love had no languages when it speaks.
Like speaking words, silence can’t understand
God unawares the words talked my eyes.
To the strolling winds, shape can’t be searched
Love speaking languages, will not restive in vow nests.

If we understand the language of nature
Humans language is no need.
If we understand the language of hearts
Humans no need a language.

Sky speaking speech comes out as drops
Rainbows speech comes out as colors.
When truth comes dumbness, tears becomes language
Womanhood comes dumbness, modesty becomes language.
In the time when sound sleeps, apex stars becomes language
In the wishes sleeping hearts, motion also becomes language.

It’s an emblem of sacrifice or gallantry?

Most of u would have known this emblem, named Schmidt Memorial; it’s on the Elliot Beach in Besant Nagar (Chennai). This is a familiar place to the chennai residents and those who ever seen this emblem in Tamil and other Indian language films and couldn’t been here, but it no need any abandonment to those. This place has been a spot for filmmakers to direct duet songs; fight sequences once, even today some films may took here. For countless chennai and surrounding lovers this is a romantic place to fondling and romance. But in recent times this emblem once looked gorgeous was un maintained and it looks unpleasant. This is not just an emblem with out any reason to built here, it has a gratitude history. It was on the times of British’s rule in India.

This Elliot Beach in Besant nagar was the place for men and women of the British to swim, take sunbath and enjoy. This Elliot was also a very attractive and entertain place for them. Its early morning on December 30, 1930, one British woman was happily swimming in the sea and many surprised to adoring her beauty from the shore.

Suddenly the alleviate of the sea changed, and sea waves were angry and consecutively hissing towards the shore. Whatever the love the sea got with that woman? It pulled her inside the sea. To the extend, those who were singing in bliss and adoring her beauty from the shore couldn’t come forward to help her, thinking that the wave may pull them inside the sea, all where running from that place. Help help the emerging voice from her, haven’t melt anyone’s mind. But on that time a Dutch sailor rushed to the shore hearing her uproar. Without any little anxiety about his life, he swim against the hissing waves and after a hard struggle he save the women, who was immerse in the sea. At the same time he further saved more people from the waves, but the angry waves took that great hero away. The sailor who saved those who were non-connection to him was named Karl Schmidt.
Its ungrateful world!! That day non-paid concerned homage to that great hero. Next day is December 31st the New Year party and celebration was in high in chennai. Every one was singing, dancing and enjoying the night. To this celebration the women who escape from the waves was also present. She dint have any sense (feeling) from her mind about the death of hero who lose his life to save her last day. She was dancing, jumping, laughing and enjoying, that shows nothing has happened. After some time, the governor comes to join in the celebration. Some people introduced this women to him, that she was the person escaped her life and explained the incident.

The good mind governor got angry on her, and he also not like to see her face who dint have any sense about the scarified life of the hero. This incident of the hero’s sacrifice to an incoherent woman melted the governor’s mind and he refused the party and gone. That great hero’s memories should be remember always, and the future lineages should always give homage, so with this thought the next day the governor built this circle emblem to doing a home to his brave action and the sacrifice. Is this an emblem of sacrifice? or an emblem of gallantry?………… It’s a gallantry emblem for sacrifice!!

Now the stage of this emblem was half destroyed, and looks very unpleasant. Most of them who have visited this Elliot beach don’t know the story behind this emblem. The 76-year-old structure should be saved before it fully destroys. Now a hope has risen by the recent announcement by government to beautify the Beaches, and wish the old relish govt. would rebuild the destroyed parts of the structure. In chennai this is one of the important tourist beach next to marina the world second longest beach.

Disagree on the justice

A small tour arranged by university, it’s a happy journey with mates, totally fun filled movement. Sudden force collapses everything, not only the fun, the dreams, and the wishes with their lives.

Fury gang of political background, with hard stones and roller sticks. Attempt to close the students with bus; those were belonging to the Indian backbone. Students try to save their lives, except three souls to leave their life.

Burning vehicle, screaming sound, crying young’s to save their dears. It’s not a burning matchstick to blow, its powerful fuel bombs. Talents buried by violent gang, human madness game on the girls. Smiles where freeze, to the parents, to see their children as a charcoal log.

There were cameras to save the incident, but we have no cameras to save their lives. Why this anger on the innocents, to show their private defiance. Came judgment after 7 wonder years, with an order to take their lives. Higher appeal comes as a honey to the bees, to pull the case for more years.

This post is about this. I disagree with the capital punishment, which was not a solution to this incident. The punishment must be severe that must realize the fault they done for those young souls, whom where not related to their anger.
