For eco-friendly celebration

Two days left for the grand festival of India, Ganesh Chaturthi and wherever those worship lord Ganesh. It was Bal Gangadhar Tilak who brought nationalism with religious, it not only gathered people to celebrate the festival by keeping ganesh idols in public place, but also inspired for the freedom fights against British. In tradition it was celebrated individually by making a clay or mud ganesh idol and submerges it somewhere in lakes, ponds and oceans after ending the working. As we celebrate, its time to think about the damage we create for other lives that share our world. It would wish us to buy a colorful idol instead of the usual clay made that kept on our street sides and sculpture shops, but before going on we have to know the chemical paints that gives a beautiful look would mess our water bodies and environment when it was dipped .

However some idols kept at the street corners and temples have been made of Plaster of Paris. It’s not a natural element that we get from… when it immerse it gradually increases the acid content of the water and if it’s a painted idols it release the lead, mercury what was harm to water livings. According to Wikipedia “the danger of this was illustrated in January 2007, when a sixteen year-old girl suffered third-degree burns after encasing her hands in plaster as part of a school art project in Lincolnshire, England. She subsequently had her thumbs and most of her fingers amputated.” To avoid the change and for a festival without harming any other we must follow the rule of sending the material from where it took.

To avoid facing the challenges, it’s not wrong in changing our Patten. Simple solution that could be useful as well eco-friendly is recycling the same idols esp. made of plaster to the following years or give away the Idols to those who use for others festivals. It’s visible for years, few days along with Ganesh Chaturthi the shores of beaches and water bodies looks bad in conditions, were the remain things that couldn’t dissolve give way to shore. Another idea that present often is dip the clay idol in the water filled tub and pore in the earth where it belongs. Hope we all follow and would continues the process without any harm for our environment.

In state of anger

I would tell it’s the mind that fails to work on what we are doing is right or wrong and the anger of someone is deceit by wrongfully. At that time, we won’t think of conscience and the aim only is on punishing him severely on the disappointment they experience from them. Not one or two somewhere, many to express the anger blindly, even the matter was small. Came across few people who can’t forgive the strike by a trickster and the words talks on them shows how the mind was developed into violence, even to kill if they found. Where we learn the punishment for wrong activities is doing the wrong thing again and more? Just beaten violently into injury could make the incident fine, would it satisfy the ones loss? Where could find the justice in something stolen, with no clue who was the burglar, but in doubt the one wander at the place was beaten bloodily.

It was not a couple of week’s back a youth in Bhagalpur (Bihar) was beaten without humanity, tying his hands and legs for snatching a gold chain form a woman. It was the police who was watching the incident alive when the mob thrashes him and to his part of tying him at his motorcycle and pulled till he become unconscious. It has shaken every one of us and the incident still without leaving the mind; then again an incident at same district by mob is dark. When a three youth whom were snatching the motorcycle at gunpoint, where blinded by a group of relatives of the victim. The message flies through the mobile and the angered people dragged the stolen bike on the way from the youths and kick severely to pierce there eyes with a sharp tool ( NDTV, news). The scene wasn’t imaginable how they have agitated for the act; it includes a school student of 9th. It was only the police whom blindness happed sometimes in the same district in 80’s, now the people took that job.

Today the time to remember the most violent incident that brings the world view on the New York. The destruction of Twin Towers crosses the 6th year; the life becomes so simple for the lifelessness behind the hills. The incidents happen in our own Bihar needs the view of nation and national leaders, law must be strong nor would these be continuing…

Sunday Pictures

Santhome Basilica Cathedral is one I never forget to have a glance at its beautiful structure whenever I cross to visit Marina Beach.

It’s everyone’s wish to watch Chennai from this Light House as I have. It located at the south end of the Marina beach and it also owns the meteorological department and it restricted to visitors.

It’s the newly designed lions on the Thiru Vika Bridge, Adyar.

Marina Beach

Our Street Pilliyar (Ganesh). Its getting ready for Vinayagar Chaturthic. When I come across this temple in my evening rides, I could feel the cool breeze from the peepul tree it holds.

Four letter move

Chennai was facing unusual changes these days may it be neither the rains nor the lack on garbage cleaning. People watched it differently when the modern technology was involved in cleaning garbage’s by a foreign company Onyx. We set free a sigh when the corporation agreed with privatization of 4 zones of Chennai to clear garbage, and it was relief from the year’s experience of opened Lorries used by corporation that carries the garbage from a place and spreads throughout the way it moves. Many of the times it gradually affects the traffic for minutes and with unclear. I should tell Onyx workers are friendly people to the society, they have care on their work. Without monotony and with endurance they pick every bit of rubbish that left on the streets into their mobile bin. The areas that have bins looked clear and only spills when it was overfill and the time it takes to clean the bin was just 2 minutes.

These six years of Onyx’s work was ended in August and when it was time to look forward for another company to take over, then came the Neel Metal Fanalca Environment. We all expected something more than the past cleaner from Neel and it was like they have starting problem, so the outcome was the garbage stagnation at all zones. It was the situation that gone worst and the equipment where not available by Neel and the Onyxtook away the bins they placed, as soon the agreement was over. Then with the rise of complains of garbage stagnant for days, the corporation call back the Onyx to step to offer their equipments and vehicles to clear garbage till the Neel was comfort to offer their own. What to tell if rain join hands with garbage? The city muss. I heard still it lacks to clear the garbage and as it was raining there are chances for spread disease.

The Neel that took away is now started to train its new workers for sweeping roads and cleaning garbage. There have 1,300 workers so far, and the company has decided to engage workers to improve retain. A question rises what’s the stage of ex-workers of Onyx who are already and going to expel from service? Would they been searching for another job or the new Neel will accept them to work within? News today read the ex-workers are ready to work for Neel, buy the salary was expected to be lower then earlier according to representatives. Now these lives are helpless for whom to contact, with the Neel or there old house Onyx. Another difficult has opened now was the suddenly opening of holes that were once opens for wiring on the roads and then tarred without filing it properly. As the rain water soak the earth, the roads pulls interior to make riders and pedestrians hard.

Share Auto... the familiar name of Chennai residents to move. It was an auto that was shared with strangers who were to pass on the same way we go. These autos attracts the riders in cheap rate compared to yellow autos that charge high like the gold, must tell these autos make the travel easy than climbing the 2 foot height bus steps. But what a difficulty they give to others is the improper way of driving. They are not following the traffic rules, it will be the complain that all other riders would have on them, they never see who is coming on the side, they stop wherever they like, esp. on the move they suddenly comes to left to pick those standing for auto or just stop to ask any one is willing to take a ride, without care of other vehicle they are disturbing. Being a Thiruvanmiyur resident we are experiencing that every time traveling on ECR for few km from the Thiruvanmiyur to VGP golden beach. The evening and night travel in city is worst that too in the raining times, rain water stays on the road and traffic on its peak to move vehicle inch by inch, where the relief... hum.

Some memories and thoughts

Everywhere around the world we celebrate the teacher’s day at different days, though in India we celebrate the B’day of former president of India Dr Radhakrishnan(Sep 5.) and we have to thank for those who found this day for us to praise the teachers. Like a day dawns, our life dawns in schools and it’s the teachers who play a big part in our life to make us a capable person. Every time students listen to teachers, but on this day students make teachers to listen for them. We all have been a student in our life for years and we have the most unforgettable memories in schools and with teachers. Those times it was the mood of playful and it was our teachers to make us concentrate on studies and it was not easy thing for them to do that.

It was like 10 years of life with school for me, where I got many kind teachers whom cared and put support not only in studies and for other activities too. I have come across some teachers who were very strict and friendly; in one is my English teacher who always with smiling and it would be her class with noisy. Soon it will come to mind is sitting in the first row and it was a student who was doing silly activities at last bench and when she approach him to scold, he run around our desk and starts to play with her, for us it was fun to see them, even though she never used any harsh words or scold hardly on him, but finally the bell rings to save him. There was this math’s sir name Pichumani, he is the one where all fear, it was not him, actually his strong stick. It was in his class only many of us got punished severe in his stick and knee standing for not doing homework’s and missing the book at home, but he spent times for us to make clear the uncertainty. One person who always comes to mind is my Tamil sir, he only take Tamil so we doesn’t know his name than Tamil sir. He is such a kind teacher his class is please to listen and esp. for his thoughtful stories he shares in between lessons. He is best to encourage and blow hugs if there were something done by students, I have a feel that I miss his class now. Even after leaving the school, he did forget to wish and hug me when I met his outside the campus ones.

I won’t think I have the deserve to advice the teachers all over there, but I could express my thoughts in this time. Glad I was not the last or first bench student, we know this term of back and front is just a distance than anything, but it can affect the students mind that teacher is not giving response for them. Why I said is I felt like this, when I was absence by some teachers when others were. So this space should be changed in a circulation of bring the first bench to back and back to front… An area that I feel still exist is the boys girls classification in practice at class. In the co-education schools, there is a thing that boys and girls won’t share with each others; the gender equation separates girls for a bench with no boys. What I think is the teachers could make sure the gender classification changes into a friendly manner. When this was being changed from the schools and in between students, it would really bring a change in our society.

Teachers should not only motivate the talented and well studying students, they need to encourage the average and weak students for there every and even small steps. By threatening or showing hardness they only get anger on teachers, in affection and kindness we can make them enthusiastic on studies. Teachers can shape students as must not only concentrate on the carrier that improves their own life alone, they can make interest on the public services. When students were given only more important on subjects that helpful for their higher studies and towards carrier, they lack for moral support and some habits that muddle there mind without to take a steady decision on the life. Teachers can create best students and also best state of mind in them.
