(Big) Temple visit - Thanjavur

(The continuation of travel to Thanjavur)

After undergoing refreshing task dad’s friend who arranged a person to take care of sustain, guide us to the Big Temple in evening. There was something curious seeking through eyes to see an existence of thousand years of history which has been mingling in mind as images. After parking the vehicle, the blow of tube whistles by foot vendors greet into the temple, where the elephant standing beside blessed with trunk those agree to go withstand. We moved along those stepping in and out through the three layers of temple towers what exhibit a strong and obvious grace to the temple complex. Its let down to know the temple’s tower in the above picture lost one of its fine stone pinnacle to recent lightning strike.

The first view of the whole temple tower was in a sun setting background and the flashes of rays emitted a glorious aspect to the temple tower and the complex, which radiant to sunlight. The temple was very clean with vast corridor to go around the temple leisurely and parents who show interest to visit sanctum first, left me in care of cousin in the corridor and took elevated steps to sanctum, gave me certain time to observe the millennium temple complex. We went around the temple tower wondering how marvelous it was built on a solid platform and admiring the graceful architecture that behold.

Tried to read the inscriptions that craved around the basement of the temple tower were hard even to find what letters they are and the temple tower was the main target for me to shoot from various angles and it was interesting and adventure to bring one into the complete structure. I pressed by cousin to lean down to get me into the vertical shot of the structure and it came out as content. After sometime parents came down through the side entrance to pose like a space soldiers completed their mission (vision), perhaps something special for them to observe.

We moved behind the temple and the sun’s radiation still occupied the tower and the clean blue sky lights the shrines to view the detail intricate works on it. The ‘arumugam’ who guide us asked me did I see the lizard and I don’t know what and I thought there might be some lizards like the ones in kanchipuram temple coated in gold and silver plates. But it was real lizards on a neem tree at the backyard that attracts everybody to look out and they said it is fortune to see three lizards at a time. Everyone was pointing their fingers that it’s here and there, but I couldn’t see one at all as they said the lizards were in wood color, I didn’t show interest.

After a lot of shots and perspective going around the temple tower we came to an end to take rest sometime by relaxing on the platform, we leisurely observed the temple and chitchat, not quite about the temple history, but obviously related to it and I enquired about the fact of light and sound show announced by the government on behalf of 1000 years history, the arumugam said he doesn’t know about it. I requested my parents to leave temple only after it darks, so that I could see the temple how it glows to sodium lights and it was wonderful to capture it in moon lit night along the artificial lights.

It was truly a remarkable sight for being patient and conveying the parents to be sustain, since they planned to visit another temple in line. Somehow the temple was appealing for more lightening; the lights scintillated the tower were glisten alike adorn by golden inlays, particularly in front of sanctum and beside. Me and cousin went ahead and captured the radiant tower and the brilliant view that accompanied the lawn and families sitting beside, a cute toddler was giggling here and there, but it was too late to think before in hesitate, the child movies away from our focus. It was truly a great moment being there and restoring it here.

Merry Christmas

My sweet Christmas wishes for Merry Celebrations.

Let it be a fun filled and joyous festival season.

Margazhi - the month of winter

The winter is here to feel us warm and cold by decrease in temperature and somehow cool in nights, it’s a wonderful month called Margazhi in Tamil which is my favorite season’s among. Thinking about Margazhi (winter) causes much cold to sense and memories which retrospect as memorable and introspective to refurbish the mind and body to exist as obvious content. Cold morning is the always delight of this season and one could truly feel refreshing waking up one early morning or go a walk in the chill dawn and breath the fresh air emerge with cold nor warm inside the blanket which don’t want to wake asleep.

Margazhi is a month that pleases among the Hindu dwellers to draw kolam or rangoli – which is drawn by white powder or flour and adorn in color powder to catch anyone’s attention. Though many residences including ours drew kolam in front of the gate way all over the year, point it to make it something special throughout the month and those can’t make it certain for everyday takes this opportunity to showcase their skill, interest and joy on drawing kolam. Sweeping the gate way along sprinkle water is a way of activity before going into action that deserves much attention and calculation among dots depict the traditional art cause by women. It was something interests me to watch how mom or aunt nor the neighbors make it so perfect and colorful to devote their culture and perspective.

Not to mention this was a season of breeding mosquitoes after the cease of rain and everywhere it would be wet due to morning dews and snow, drawing kolam is not an easy task among balancing the mosquitoes and cold weather. I am not a person to wake upon every dawn of this month and I take the opportunity on the last day of the month which is celebrated as Bhogi festival in South India – a light of bonfire which is believed as driving away the bad by burning waste things from home. In the childhood days I am more passionate on celebrating the bhogi and hitting drums which is made of clay and buffaloes skin, aind I never slept so easily the night and wait awaked to hear the drum beats to indicate the dawn and almost it would be my friends to do it and we all go together around the neighborhood and celebrate the dawn with much warmth and pleasure on lighting on.

The month of Margazhi is devoted to dance and music, which is a sensitive season among the artistes involved in the completions and organizers of the concerts. There are many theatres conduct programs, including the traditional Music academy and Sabas (concert halls) involve in constant programming throughout the month and institutions like Kalakshetra prepare students for these completions. I haven’t been to any of these festivals that exhibit the finest classical dance and music and create paths to so many artistries to showcase their skill and let aware others about the art and tradition that increase interest among people. Though I like the traditional classical dance and music I interested to go for classic folk festivals which is organized by the month end of Margazhi called Chennai Sangamam, is creating more vibrant and charm for the last couple of years of its launch with variety of fork performances taking place in parks and open grounds.

The month of Margazhi begins in mid of December and continue to the mid of January is believed as auspicious among Hindu women’s to visit temple every morning and many young women in our neighborhood would check the temples daily without fail to get something as present or gift towards the end of the month. I always like the mild sunshine that peeks through structures and grille reflecting heat and light into home and the dry skin tone to look for the brief sense of light.

The prime cold of the year witness last Sunday to even hideaway the lighthouse of marina to the foggy weather in evening and been drizzling however the city reduced the temperature certainly. The unusual sea with raising waves about to chase seafront easily reminds me about the firmly tsunami which is suppose to commemorate on coming Sunday, which held back on the same day some 6 years before. More than the thought of striking tsunami that always holds back in memories and the distracted mind that took time to settle firmly, it was the very pleasant weather similar to ooty kodaikanal – the hill stations of the state, which took back. Moreover the winter is here, to relax and enjoy the warmth of mild coldness and sunshine that enhance along the enchanting festival season.

CRT out LED in

It’s been more than a year our 15 years old Onida CRT television lost its charm and fades away its dwelling colors to lose interest in watching television and thus gone off completely one Sunday from viewing programs and came to an end from proceeding. Unknown what to do in between before going for a new one, came the state governments free television scheme to aid our problem and that too we haven’t received yet then, we brought the one from our grandma’s home and used until we get a new one free .

It was time getting down to the least television set from the comfort viewing zone, and it wasn’t different rather except viewing more radiant in color and better viewing than just being. The one and a half year ran very quickly and it was for the Ayudha puja we brought the television to watch special programs and we hadn’t think for a new one in the active running until lately I found interest on LCD before I get to know about LED. I therefore thinking about the television to be best in quality and economically confine to cost of money, I went for the Samsung 26” LED TV after considering a lot about it in net and comparing it with similar products.

There is a reason why I go for Samsung immediately is because my computer monitor is Samsung which exists for a decade now without quite any trouble and if not the product is good it can’t withstand this much and I never want to give away my monitor and many have advice me to change for LCD, but I can’t think for another one when I am constant with the clarity and color which took back many into surprise. There are many advised us to buy a big TV but I have a different opinion with them about the size and viewing that LCD or LED having a wide screen it shows the objects broader and damaged pictures while watching nearer and I think these TVs should bought considering the viewing distance and the spacious of the rooms and what important is the picture quality and clarity and not the size.
We bought a new Samsung LED TV on Wednesday and the picture quality was excellent and the wide color enhancer plus the mega dynamic contrast cause an exciting viewing the vivid display. I can’t keep away from its art and technology series which shows everything so refreshing to views that where watch many times before. The other day I watched the famous Tamil movie Anbe Vaa, one of the leading colorful movies of its earlier introduction in Tamil cinema was something bliss watching it in the advanced series of technology and unlike before I enjoyed the song puthiya vaanam... captured in Shimla, just put me in surprise how pristine the picturizations were even in those earlier days and it was amazing while realizing now. Thanks to the new advanced television series that helps to review the revisited things refreshingly and new. I prefer this television mostly to watch movies and I have list of movies I wanted to watch only after getting a latest television has exist now and I wish to watch more movies further to enjoy the enhance and beauty along with art and technology.

My expressions and experience

Sometimes I feel so happy without a reason and I think so am the happiest person in the world and I want to shout loudly with the greater trouble with multiple disability, I stress my world to lead happily. What people seems nothing cause me much concern to be happy and what people avoid as tiny are greater to me to observe highly, and if not the tiny drops, where are the rivers and oceans alike how each heartbeat is important to survive. Some people think owning gadgets mean happiness and if not a person or thing as qualified what the meaning in holding it without connectivity. Sharing is the main process of gadgets in connectivity and without sharing thoughts and feeling there’s no use of thinking and feeling with the most trendy and costly gadget in hand.

Depression is a part of everyone’s life and I too get depress often when people fought by keeping me in center the inner ability which is inability seek for a segregation to maintain peace and humble trouble to keep the train to run to not halt without diesel. Sometime my tear drops could be the answer when world asleep or wake beside unnoticing thinking my state and comfort I console myself that there are worst cases in world to troublesome to survive, am just a conscious person to exist with consensual selfishness and indeed depend on someone’s need to survive. What tenses a lot was the abnormality of human being, being unmindful or cruel to be in attitude and lack of helping mind in supporting others. It might sound like complaining that I am one among those affected by and am not going to deny which is true that none other than my parents aid me crucially and what peoples expectation are confusion except worth, money and entertainment, when they’re bored.

Sometime I just don’t want to express what’s in my mind, but certain thoughts and feeling want to tell the world what going through the inner ability of mine. It’s highly tough to explain in detail because it might sometime hurt anyone who comes into a confine situation and cause discomfort in mind and body to relax the temporary state of exist as a companion or aid circumstance. What bothers me to think was why can’t people be sustain in thoughts and feeling as same as they are like the temporary sale and being unique is not wrong and I would be humble always for those behind my exist and seriously I am spellbind by those cause to be idiot. I am quite anguish about people who only look after themselves and never think back how life has been and how often it was changed perceptively towards other and there is only a lot of selfish and tantrum to teach people about corruption. I always wish people who can’t motivate me could please stop discourage the mind I got by reading and realizing the fact who am I through a lot of experience and emotion, given by them. Thanking them all for strengthen my inner ability to sustain mentally strong and enchanting through various norms given by this life. Thank you!
