(De)lighting deepavali

I am back to routine life from the mood in festival of lights. I hope every one had a wonderful celebration around the time of deepavali. I felt that I am the only in celebrate mood on festival in interest at my family, other were in differently occupied there interest. Some where was on search of getting tickets for first show in diwali release movies; some busy in buying DVD at low price in diwali sale. Where else the sound of crackers heard before and after and on diwali day, the skies were open to flow of colorful fireworks from all sides. Where in suburbs the celebration was more than city, they started from 2.pm onwards. Just wondering whom would be waked this time to burst crackers, but they do. It was early morning we planed to take bath, but anyway it was only after 7am to get ready, wearing new clothes, watching television from morning to late afternoon, having special dish after worshiping. A day before diwali I went to beach with dad, picking my cousin at there place, a crowd less time in beach, where little sight of fireworks, girls and to maintain like with out watching them when being with cou sis and some physically challengers find there time spending.

By afternoon I received by cousin brother whom I looking forward, he bust crackers where I watch. In my apartment there was no space doing for fireworks, filled with cars and not easily going surrounding, we were to leave for my uncle’s place in neelankarai (a suburb). I wished now that I was there… really it was around beautiful times full of colors flowing without leaving a minute gap of fireworks flashing on the sky. A highly rich area, very bungalow residents leaving the sky outs fireworks continuously. There we join with uncle and cousins, we happily enjoyed with firecrackers and don’t want to miss the colors and on my wish we stayed till restricted time of 10. The much waited of the celebration was on next day we call it nombu. It was small get together of my own family; the very happier time was getting my grandpa and ma on this day, it was great to have dinner along with every one.

Like how I had fun, the same I was boredom on Saturday, completer silent from cracker sounds, television and no mood looking at papers; but did to find some thing related to diwali. It was solace report there were limited pollution on noise and smoke, where the sound was kept below 76 decibel from the maximum of 126 decibel allowed. I feel the trend is changing from bombs to fancy fireworks that bring colors lights in night, in cities the sounds where less, but in suburb there is limitless enjoying on fireworks. Weekend have some relatives to home, to share sweets and smiles. There were many plans dropped to spend in holidays and what my wheelchair did was helpful, I could move on my own inside the enjoyment free from many other stresses. Thanks a lot to all who wished me, surprised me in cards, calling, wording. Below are some pics from festival:

Partaking deepavali

Deepavali is everyone’s favorite festival. We all look for that day comes in a year. There were many stories told to celebrate this festival, but this is a festival were we celebrate happily, joining with family, friends, neighbors without seeing where they belong to. Its festival of lights to burn in our lives and wishing all bright fullness, goodness to spreads. What the main attracts about this event is crackers and bursting sounds; we can’t obligate that from our thoughts, but what it was reducing is also true. No one there will be without enjoying fireworks, amazing on seeing beautiful colors coming out from it, kids holding the color matches witsmiles like the twinkles from it, where the night sky flashes with different colors and shapes of fireworks doing magic is an wonderful sight for all without age difference. At this movement we also need to understand the problems that create by fireworks. I feel the first problem was cleared; that was using child labor in making crackers. Conspicuously it was aware by the labels in fireworks where “no child labors involved”. What next is pollution of air and noise. Fireworks hold various chemical to bring colors and lights to make us happy and also release the smoke that injures to health and rising noised that are against animals and sick patient.

Even though we can’t fully stop this, and the happiness of seeing fireworks magic. But can reduce it. For this we need unity in celebration. Instead of just bursting at all corners and outside our gateway, we can bring people in crowd at a specific place or our streets, colony and apartment resides to gather and celebrate the fireworks. Because of this, the money spent on buying and using fireworks are reducing, as well we also enjoyed the festival of sharing the fireworks and avoiding more environmental degenerate. What the real meaning of the festival is burning lamps, Deepavali. But many of us not following it, It’s in our tradition of lightning the earthen lamps and we could see it on the upcoming full moon day after the diwali. Actually is adds beauty to this particular festival of lights where the whole home brighten in yellow the auspicious time.

How could be with out a sweetness for a festival that brings happiness to all. Many of us (including we) prepare and using from long back of making our own sweets Athirasam, the traditional South Indian sweet and distribute to relatives and neighbors. But the shops todays are coming out in making new designs of sweets with vary taste that attracts people to buy on diwlai. The breakfast and lunch we have on the day would be very special with varies dishes from pongal, idly sambar...
what we really never forget is the new cloths, even we fail, the attractive advertisement on television by forefront shops could create a wish in us. It starts from a month before and it was not new nowadays where all festivals have some special ads on TV for people. These days it was beautiful advertisements by models, bringing stylish and traditional costumes those sure make girls to try them at this time and we boys just enjoy the mood of seeing them.

This time the festival at Thursday and next day Friday would be mostly off from schools, works and weekend coming. I hope there will be great entertainment and enjoyment on diwali holidays, and SMS, greetings, emails would be flying to loved ones and I sure myself do not forget to wish this movement some of our friends who are going to celebrate ‘thalai deepavali ` (first deepavali after marriage) I hope they come this side to get my greeting too. Happiness for u all, enjoy :)

To bring back

Distance is not that much, your heart`s
awe taking you away from me
I know the awful distance maintained,
I homologate whatever reason u must tell.
Unconditional innocent fancy never ever
adjusted to the reality, continue to exist.
I can`t assure breezing throughout your life
and that stop me expressing the right

Upcoming are celebration times, I miss you
and wish you to bring memorable times
months gone, I met you last, still thinking
wherever the name breaks in relation
these are merely avoidable in life, where
the same days of colors flows allover, and
frustrate stands along in experience

the brass lamp of our family
glows the festival of lights, brighter
more in your flowing smiles, and
the rejoice of lightening glister crackers.
Those movements are not away, if world
thinks about your desire of living, before
the vivid belief dim lighten forever… …..

Mobiles only outside campus

In last years the topic of using mobiles in collage raises, with some misuse many universities come to pass order on banning it esp. those with camera. Now the state government on its way to ban cell phones use in schools, which was in fore by school officials already. For using and none using the students, parents and teachers tells varies reasons, but to correct the recent change in life that some end in misuse, the necessary on ban is must in preliminary warning. Except misuse, the mobile disturbs student’s studies while always smsing and playing games the mind diffuse to concentrate on subjects. If students can afford a mobiles, it won’t surprise if teachers own, but they need to be paragon to others avoiding mobiles in class hours or leave it at staff rooms.

There where times when students bring hand video games, trump cards to school hiding inside there bags and play while class was running and in brake times. Then caught by teachers and struggle to get back the thing or pay fine. Haven’t there days moved without cell phones, students never left home without it, no tuition, special class or extra-curricular activities went. Then why we want students to get confused with cell today. Technological gadgets are useful in many way, we have to see what’s necessary at the time and aware of both positive and negative sides of it. I was trying some online games for my cousin in his holidays, keeping him at my side. When he sees something colorful with cars, funny ads, graphic games he just want to check them; I don’t know how to make him understand his innocent on net. Who know what’s behind a click, where it goes. Some ads giving a sign of wrong thing that some may go to abuse sites, it was shocking to know the online games has vulgar characters. I don’t know why I am telling this, but like this some students not aware of another side of cell phones. There are many infringer minds out there without our knowledge; those hands may pull them to land in difference that’s very strange.

In my schools days the cell phone haven’t reach that much, and where not even allowed to tie watch and allowed only from higher class. If any urgent call have to made, with the help of school staffs we can do it. If parents comes late to pickup or any other changes in routine of school time teachers used to call our home from office telephone to contact parents. We feel like being in safe hand till leaving school campus. Ones they practiced with mobiles, they addicted to it, wanted to connect with friends always. Even today’s kids want cell phones; they know everything where elders learn from them. Phones with cam are like adding sugar to taste, it go around through good, bad pics scenes for fun. There was a question only for some doing wrong thing with phone why should it affect others using usefully. School is something pubic to all, just giving excuses to one or two will bring difference in unity, whatever needed must be followed with teachers and officials alone.
