Logic less magic

To the red loam planet
in disposition to destination
sets-up in everyone’s oppose, so
much disturbance over climbing aviation.

Conceal under seats of common carrier
in standstill motion of traffic jams
hostiles seek to divide the sweethearts
who’s eager for a lonely planet?

Fancy dreams in the mind
lonely house forever in vast land
here and there the little’s love shared
where guarded in branches of
fable tale baobabs widespread.

In wonderlands that accommodate
unstable climate excites every moment
green and silky grasses, moving clouds
sustain a delicious life out there.

The desires lost before boarding
it shocks him, there she missed in crowd
in search of heart, it feels with some other
clueless what happens to her.

Just like a thunder flash it was
left strong memories that puzzles still
the rooster roars in early alarming defeats
later everything relates to dream.

Surprise call

I don’t want to postpone it still after the year itself begins. It was like the road sides of ECR everywhere disturbing rubbish thrown inside my computer; the pictures, documents, music songs, videos… today everything was arranged and some sent to dustbin. The wanted clearance of my computer table and racks where done with the help of mom and also my music system and CD’s where properly arranged. Disappoint comes these days to fill the craving of not having camera at moments that I liked to capture. I would only feel of thinking the days without cam and move to make myself satisfy. Hope the days not away and the time will comes closer to own my new cam.

There was a surprise call, which I dint expect that I could receive. The voice I heard was my sweet friend (shanu) of childhood, who shares my desk in school and playing together some times back. It was for three or four years back I saw her passing my home streets often, after changing my home the thoughts about her happens hardly. It’s a big surprise u know hearing a familiar voice when mind was empty from her thoughts and what’s more happy is she still remembers me and get contacted. I was dump what’s happening at her life and I was thinking she may be working or doing some think like university, but for what she called was to invite me for her child’s first birthday. For me, still not comes out of the wonder hearing her voice; her marriage and son’s birthday puts smiles a lot than anything to astonish.

In between these years she lost her mother who was invisible (can’t see) and the changes in her carrier and moved with her husband to little distance from her home. She was visiting my old home to invite me, but she was not disappointed where my uncle who stays there gave my number and that helps her to contact us. I really apologies for not being attending her son’s birthday party, no way she was staying in first floor and mom was to following some other plan, we missed it. I just always wish her a beautiful life and happiness. I know how much love she kept on her mom and taking care her needs very carefully. First thing comes to my mind thinking her is, my visit to her home when we both where class mate and running around her flats, playing, chatting and seeing her mom sitting in a chare and she calls her to make know we (I and bro) have come. I hope she would get all kindness, love, peace in life from her little son and husband.

I feel

Beautiful inside the heart
like flowers bloom and slept
to favorite moods that change.

Troubled time comes and goes
silently wind blows in favor
the fragrance of early transmit.

Free available of thinking
stands in midst of borders
where either side really closed

Season end up finding new
but in bored artificial nature
then everything doubts truly why.

Wakeup thinking the right to take
for future that was near to exit
but hopes still exist.

The desideratum festival Pongal and Jallikattu

A feel good beginning for my art again.

We are ahead with energy flowing to welcome the most wanted festival of Tamilan. It’s not particular for Tamils; it’s a festival center for all common people who interest to thanksgiving the nature. The Pongal follows the solar calendar as the sun changes its direction rays, where it starts riding from southern to northern. The Pongal is intends to boiling over of milk and rice from the pot that is considered a sign of happiness and property flows in our lives. The Pongal which celebrated in Tamil month of Thai for four days from the last day of Margali (mostly Jan 14). The farmers festival on this pongal, we clean and whitewash our homes, decorate our homes with mango leaves and festoon, drawing beautiful kolams and cook pongal to celebrate with family and friends around.

Generally Pongal is celebrated at its best only in villages, where in early decorated new clay pot, taking the newly harvested rice from paddy and adding with pure milk to make flowing pongal to thanking the earth and welcoming Sun. The first day before pongal is consist of Bhogi. It’s the day to said good bye to old and enters of new in our lives; it always celebrated as burning or throwing the old thing into fire. But in todays time its better stop burring the waste things or old clothes and best is to give for non-existence. On the third day of Mattu Pongal (Bull Pongal) is thanked giving for bulls those handworks throughout the year and which was farmers friend. Taking them to bathe, painting there horns and decorating with leaves and replacing with new cord, tying bells and with colorful balloons the bulls enjoy themselves, esp. seeing other bulls.

The Jallikattu (bull catching game) happen on this day and the last day of pongal that was known as Kaanum Pongal in Tamil Nadu is world famous. Kaanum Pongal is well known for its outing and picnic with family and friends for there favorite places, in many villages people interested in going to watch Jallikattu at near there place. The Chennai Marina beach is recorded yearly for more people visiting on Kaanum Pongal. According to Jallikattu, it anticipated for an important award by Supreme Court this year whether it would be banned or to allow conducting the Jallikattu, but without cared about anything the preparation for the festival was in full fledge. The Jallikattu always happens in Madurai’s Paalameadu on the 2nd day of Thai (Jan 16) and the world famous Alanganallur the next day and followed by other districts of Tamil Nadu. The bulls are carefully trained rest of the whole year for the yearly ones game.

Bulls are feed with grind raw rice and cotton seeds and left to drink 40 litters of water twice a day to avoid fatigue and 3km of walking every day. To strengthen, the bulls were daub to grinded tamarind seeds for full night and bathed next day, that continue for three months before to Jallikattu, where it develops the blood circulation and gives a shine skin. They even used to tell, bull should not visible others, so they won’t allow none near to the bull. The most looked bull is Kangeyam bull which is the most bravery bull in all and its look itself threaten everybody, but only sad is its species are in stage of perishable. In rural sides if one was to be praised for brave they use to indicate Kangeyam bull, so far it reaches to its name. There would be only countable Kangeyam bulls to exist in Tamil Nadu and I was not sure. To make bulls intoxicate, they fill hays into clothes and create like a man like doll and get them to batter the doll to increase its anger. Because of getting training like this, these bulls are not left so easily into the playing ground of Jallikattu and in addition to train or grow a bull to play for the game they spend minimum 40,000Rs (1000$). But all the hope of these people playing, as well as developing bulls are stopped by Friday’s award by Supreme court in banning for this traditional brave game of Tamil Nadu.

Though it was a good relief for bulls from humans and threat of bull battering humans to injure and sometimes to death in game. But it was a sorrow for Tamil Nadu and mostly for the people of southern districts and Madurai to give away our traditional brave game. It’s not planned, but it happens to relate this post to my recent painting of Jallikattu above, like a man trying to control the bull. It was one more happiness I got at this year beginning of returning to my drawing side that I wasn’t touched for over a year. I was in confuse could I able to draw something again like past, but I moved to the comfort of drawing. Let me know your comments… I wish you all for a Happier Pongal celebration.

Pongal greetings.

Have designed some greeting cards for the coming Pongal festival. These days shops lack for festival greeting cards, and was not possible to send the cards to dears. So I want to prepare cards on my own, while for most important events I did cards holding the pictures of my cousins, this time tried some new way in the style of professional greeting. The amount spend for buying a card from shop is minimum Rs.20, some quality cards at 30+, for me its only Rs.6 to 12 according to the size I develop through photo studios. What I spend is time and energy, and what earn is satisfaction on designing in wish and using own words.

I steal only some flowers and other items from net and others drew in Photoshop and pictures from my last Pongal. Except my cousins, would be glad if it was used by others. One can download the card on the size given below at every greeting.
