Celebrate (a celebrity too)

The clay Ganesh was brought on the day before couple of hours to worship. The sundal, sugar pongal, vadai…. Were shown to him and ate by us. On any special day the entire time was before television with some nice and bored programs with all special foods as snacks to grind. It was the day for a new channel to enter the entertainment world for homemade, actually it’s a channel for Ads and remaining times for programs it seems. Ho I loss the endurance watching films on TV. Evening their were some drops, but it wouldn’t disturbed the ganesh procession from our street temple. Today the clay ganesh was immerse into the tub to dissolve, and then to pour at earth from the usual way of dissolving in sea. I think it would take some days to become dissolve fully.

It was an expected day to meet one of my dear cousin bro, who comes in a short holiday from his hostel. We don’t know he was over worried of leaving all of us or any other reason for his leanness, I was kept holding his hand for sometime. There was the movie Periyar on Sunday in TV, one of the looked film to watch. I was to tell it was nice to know a great leader of India, his simplicity, thoughts, and the struggle put me on stand to think. It wonders to know he has some policy disliked with Mahatma Gandhi’s. His oppose on some blind beliefs on religious ceremonies, the attacks from the upper caste on his true statements and self respect for everyone were captured well in the film to how people could understand. Proud to have such leader for our country and felt to have none like him now. His decent way of approach on politics and keeping the private relation with them in lovable manner surprises. An admiring act by Sathyaraj as Periyar. Hope u all had a nice celebration too.

V 4 only

Inimae Naangathan the very first 3D animation film in Tamil was released this Friday. A film with cheerful characters of four friends Vichu, Varathu, Vaithi, Govinth. It sounds different is it, we had animations film that was dubbed in Tamil, but which was fully created in Tamil is the first time. Film with a low budget of 35 million, was technically Directed by S. Venky Boboo, who himself wrote the story screenplay and produced by S. Sridevi. Voice for the characters is sure to make laugh, the comedians Pandu, M.S. Basker, Vasu Vikram… done a good job.

Music my Maestro Illaiyaraaja, it was few months back I watched a review about Inimae Naangathan in SunTv on a special day. From that movement I was attracted by this film, and excite to know its release, the music was one I liken in the film. It has some sweet song Orumurai Kettalea... was fun listening and watching, Illaiyaraaja’s vocal surprise the song in the soft instruments. I was searching for its music, but couldn’t find… but the first line would always exist in me is the Vazvu Venduma va va…. the inspiring lyrics would really catch with young’s. I was wishing to watch this film soon. Here the trailer and a song of the Inimae Naangathan, enjoy.

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…
