Soothing one day
drizzling sky
earth without leaving humidity
makes chilling the kodai day
that took away to kodai

without giving disturbance
left to breathing this weather
and to leaving way to feel adore
my wishes to the resistance

flying black caw are
beauty then in the whiteness sky
where the brightness green leaves
hides these days, as newly born
after become wet in the rain

#Kodai - Summer season
#Kodai - A cool hill station

These days we Chennai ties have monsoon climate in evenings of the summer. We never miss to enjoy this delightful evenings, especially last week we received plenty of drops. This rain brought the little excitement and along with the trouble making mosquitoes. If I was not able to take my evening rides (on the wheels), at least I was made a day going on the chill wind and drizzling sky, before it starts to bluster heavily.

##that crow on the sky was drew by me, its not a real crow:

Kingmaker Kamaraj Birthday

"Face the problem. Don't evade it. Find a solution, however small. People will be satisfied if you do something." - By the Great Leader of an integrity and simplicity Kamaraj to his government, were his rule was considered as a Golden Times of Tamil Nadu.

Kamaraj who born on 15 July, 1903, in Virudhunagar of Tamil Nadu, form a trading family, was lived as integrity and simple himself. He was a drop out from school, but a great genius who realized the important of education, has educated himself during his imprisonment in freedom struggle. Being interested in politics, he skips his job in his uncle’s cloth shop and attends public meetings, but his relatives disappointed in his interest and send to Thiruvananthapuram to timer shop.

At the age of 16, as a full-time Congress worker, he also participated in the march to Vedaranyam as part of the Salt Satyagraha. Kamaraj was arrested when he was 27 and sent to Jail in Calcutta for two years. Kamaraj was arrested again for two times and sent to Vellore Central Prison while he was on his way to Wardha to get Gandhiji's approval for a list of satyagrahis and sentenced to three years in the Amaravathi prison for spreading propaganda material for the Quit India movement initiated by Gandhiji. Who can do than our Kamaraj who went straight to the Municipality and tendered his resignation from his post of Municipal Council of Madurai to felt that one should not accept any post to which one could not do full justice.

Kamaraj's political guru and inspiration was S. Satyamurti, orator and parliamentarian. Both developed a deep friendship and complemented each others' skills. In 1936, Satyamurti was elected President of the Provincial Congress Committee and he appointed Kamaraj the General Secretary. After becoming a Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu his most important aim was on the education that he didn’t got. So he removed the family vocation based Hereditary Education Policy and reopened the 6000 schools closed by previous government for financial reasons and also added 12000 more schools. The State made immense strides in education and trade. New schools were opened, so that poor rural students were to walk no more than 3 miles to their nearest school; Better facilities were added to existing ones; No village remained without a primary school and no panchayat without a high school. Kamaraj strove to eradicate illiteracy by introducing free and compulsory education up to the eleventh standard and also introduced the Mid-day Meal Scheme to provide at least one meal per day to the millions of poor school children at the first time in the whole world. He introduced free school uniforms to weed out caste, creed and class distinctions among young minds.

Kamaraj remained Chief Minister for three consecutive terms. On October 2, 1963, he resigned from the Tamil Nadu Chief Minister Post and proposed that all senior Congress leaders should resign form their posts and devote all their energy to the re-vitalization of the Congress. He also suggested to Nehru that senior Congress leaders should leave ministerial posts to take up organizational work to be known as Kamaraj Plan, which was designed primarily to dispel from the minds of Congressmen the lure for power, creating in its place a dedicated attachment to the objectives and policies of the organisation. Well impressed by the achievements and acumen of Kamraj, Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru felt that his services were needed more at the national level. In a swift move he brought Kamaraj to Delhi as the President of the Indian National Congress.

Becoming a 'Congress President' and successfully navigated the party and the nation through the stormy years following Nehru's death. Kamaraj’s political maturity came in full view when Nehru died in 1964. How he settled the succession issue for the Prime Ministership was amply proved by his choice of Lal Bahadur Shastri and Indira Gandhi in succession. On October 2, 1975, Gandhi Jayanti day, Kamaraj awoke from his afternoon nap feeling uneasyand the next morning he left this world in his sleep. He was honored with the highest civilian honour, the 'Bharat Ratna' posthumously in 1976.

Huge garden of adyar

Is still their is a place in Chennai, without any change for long time, an eco-friendly living society and the nature was still maintain without any change. Few times to be with nature is a very different feeling for everyone, that too a place inside city must be gifted. A forest along the banks of the Adyar River is a wonderful place with birds, insects, greenery, old and huge trees and rare species. Being a resident of Adyar for 20 years, i have visit this place called Theosophical Society (famous as Adyar Banyan Tree) once when i was 6 or 7 years, but was wishes for years to spent some time inside this green place of more than 120 hectares of garden.

It was a cool afternoon, thanks to the cloudiness formed by the low presser on ocean, after few feet away from gate gives a pleasant tranquil of the sounds and force. As vehicles were banned to enter inside, we left the car near the gate and I used my power chair with my parents and two cousins waking beside me. The roads leading to the Big Banyan tree was really good, and clean. We reached the Big tree soon from through its side gate, and it was little disappoint that the huge tree was missing, only its branches surrounding the 40,000 sq.ft. The guide said the Mother tree was died 10 years ago and the residue are its child trees, even though it looks beautiful to see the branches like pillars. Banyan trees are liked for its roots that fell from its branches, the children and even grown people wishes to swing by handing the roots. In this big banyan the roots have grown as trees, actually a tree or any plants grows only went we bury it roots under the soil, but this roots automatically go under the soil to take the grasping was marvelous.

Above all the big tree, the May flowers grown at the bottom of the trees are very attractive like a ball in pink color. Its specialty is it blooms once a year and its a single plant that has only stem and flower and it die after it blooms once. Its the same one sree posed sometime back. Their was this group of coconut palm in a round turn, it's nature is that lives only in water, that needs always water. I was decided i must go some distance inside the Society as it was after long time to be their. Many times i like to visit the garden, but being crippling i wasn’t able to do it. A lovely experience of listing the sweet noise of parrots, invisible cuckoos and some birds hiding somewhere and the coconut garden along the way; the facile irrigation canal and the old bungalow gives a manor feel and it was a charming movement when there was sudden drizzle and staying by two sides of green livings. On a high banyan tree, their was these hundreds of bats hanging and it was the first time i am seeing so much bats in a tree. I think it must be those bats that i have seen from our terrace in the evenings at my old house.

There are something different for me, the one was the red insects with two heads facing the opposite ends; and some tall trees where it looks like hanging pot's, i think who put the pots hang on tree orals it’s the nest of lovebirds, but it was only unripe fruit and the tree too has a different flower that shapes like a cobra head. The garden has shrines of world's many religious faiths and their was an unusual temple without any god statue inside, only a lamp was burning; it was named as Goddess of Light. In the World's Headquarters of the Theosophical Society with many old building, the silent lives every where. This place must be encouraged to people for a good environment, its always been chill as it was on the banks of the river and it would be an useful place to people on gardening. Glad I was able to explore this beautiful place and hope to be their some other time.

The Boss… Motta Boss

##(First my apologize for that mistake I made in last post announcing its my 500th. It was my 461 post, a small inattention)

The boss, that special motta (shaved head) boss is the character player by super star in Shivaji as MGR was the one I enjoyed more in the film. Being an admirer of superstar, and a huge fan of shanker this film has become to be a must watch film for me in Theater.

Half-an hour before the films starts we were parked the car on our usual ramp in drive-in. So early was too for a pause that we may miss the ticket, but there was not big crowd like we think. Many families this time, already settled with mats, chars as comfort to enjoy the film, even very old people were seizing by shivaji, could find more white hair and a wheel chair granny. Clouds were also threatening for pouring rain, good time it was only threatening. Waited with excitement for 15 days to watch it as our usual way of watch films in theater after 15 days of the release, to watch it in normal fair.

When it comes as, which one makes me to wish more this film is the superstar or shanker….. I go with shanker. Really an expectation rises, how he is going to create this film with superstar as a hero. Shankar a person who comes out from the matter of heroism of giving more important for their stage of hero and giving only positive character. In all his other films, he gives important for the character and the message, not for the hero. Here he really waned to make story surrounding superstar and his style. I think this is the problem for shankar to making the story for Shivaji. Even though in his style he tried to aware people of this bribe culture with government officials for getting permission to plans; and the interesting way of collecting the black money and trying to use it for poor is good, but shankar forget to show the social scenes deeper with emotion, when he indicate how the black money stops the poor’s growth.

Nowadays people expect some thing different in character and getup change, but bringing the old appearance of superstar after 20 years as young as he was in 80’s was amazing. Even they use a lot of make ups and rich latest technology in his style, the simple shaved head rajini was really cool and it was an unusual style for rajini admires. All songs are wonderful, and it all goes to Shankar, his idea and choice of sights and K.V. Anand’s picturesque. The truth is I was at confusion in which to adore in the songs, the style of superstar or the wonder of grand or the very grand beauty of shreya or the art in every frame. I must have to watch the songs for more times to get enthusiasm on everything. If Balleilakka was total reflect of the basic Indian tradition and the scenic green abundance of charming, the White Tamilan song was great enjoyment in mixture of white and black skins, the making of the song was surprising when the media cleared the secret how our superstar got that white skin, from a white girl. Vaaji Vaaji was a great song in Thotatharani’s huge kingdom set and the costume deigned for shreya and superstar was beautiful, looking like a queen and king. Athiradee song simply shakes, even the open theater for the DTS effects in the songs and fights.

Hats off to shanker and petterhain for the stunts sequence, esp the Drive-in car crashing was equal to Hollywood films. It was little feeling when the musical instruments in the store were played and braked in the fight; its the recall of Thillu Mullu rajini with action and comedy. It was surprising that what I was thinking was also said in the film. Their was this scene were shivaji comes to a village and announce the people that we will give u free education, hospital and employment for ur children and create the land for agriculture and what u have to do is just do the agriculture and make the place green and develop the growth of nation. It was good that we needed development and also we need to save the agriculture. There are much to write, and much to watch… long waited Shivaji No.1 winner, long waited Taj No.1 wonder.
