A year aback

A New Year had begun and flourishing fresh energies more or less everywhere and into everyone else causing a relishing relationship between well known and unknown ones to built a bridge between strangers and with no intention we share the joyous moment with no certain boundaries to distinguish the meditation and silence. Even we are in the time of looking further into the year, we are yet to think back the past that pushed here with a remarkable year of experience where sacrifice and struggle strengthen and weaken the life and so sorrow and happiness.

A lot of things happen in a year and recalling every moment into the mind is impossible and there are few moments and time that strikes hardly remarkable for good or bad. Mistakes are something we learn to make not again and being careful upon doing anything and the past has taught us many lessons and I have learn many things that suppose to shape me as a person as well conscious to debate on things depend on life. And life has changed a lot in previous year and I have lost some aspects that sustain my movements and kept physically occupied and stimulating a source of energy and being content to be on foot step with the help of caliper.

The year went off partially taking medicine for lung infection which troubled me a lot with cough even now and then and it still couldn’t relieve me completely out of trouble by the easy caught of cold and dust infections. The year was a great setback to me that completely depend me on wheels and losing touch with many activates I wanted to sustain and touched greater elevations in emotion that I couldn’t think back certainly. My blog space is also an evident how far my activates have lacked similar to latter years and I lost many thoughts that I couldn’t bring up in time and moment and overall it’s intense struggle that stop me coming out of trouble. I still think the best are yet to come or shared, and a lot of travel experience are stored in memories as folders to be unfold.

The conscience has made me so humble and patient these days and controlling me from being expressive unlike ever even though I understand the need to be addressed, I couldn’t do anything more than being silent and asking myself what I have done to request? But somehow I manage to be selfish in getting what I need and looking for people to help me in surviving and exploring the world to be expand in life. And my life is largely loaded with emotions that often seethe like a volcano neither to erupt or fume into space or ashes into the surface nor leave behind the truth to be explored later.

The latter year also has a part of enhance taking me deep into the mind and somehow wild to think about life and relationship that takes me away from the practice that almost relationships are instant queries and come on request. I am obvious about my thought on relationship and not all are cared from their inner thought and sense except the moment of enquires. More than happiness and peace that nature gave me through its existence across the year, the festivals and relationship adds delight to my life and mind painted with colorful dreams and imaginary, the photography takes me into creative thoughts and knowledge and experience to build a strong memory.

However the year went off peacefully across the globe and hope the future have nothing to break apart and we save the nature to human kind and coordinate with common sense.

Easan – ill favorable

Sasikumar’s Easan has spotlighted a part of city’s night life that revolves around night clubs, pubs and restaurants and how some today youngsters taking over the advantage of being trendy. Though the movie is based on revenge it has more to grasp on city life and the unchanged view of village life that access net and computer and the usual politicians ruling the police.

Samuthirakani as a police officer has performed well and his attitudes are reliable to be a right police man and the wrong politician (AL Azhagappan) has a bright future depend on his acting alike a wise artist, he shows a live performance of seeing a serious politician. The young boy who took over the revenge done an excellent joy and expressed on purpose but what strike me was giving the axis to a school boy is not a good idea to say about to a society and we didn’t expect a movie from the director-producer who created Pasanga to nation proud.

The movie is not coming under any genre as it has blend everything as a movie to run more than a three hour moving like a tele serial. The movie is a media player for many people who sleep before a world wake up to dance in mid-night and destroy in seconds and how the trendy people develop an anchor in the mind of civilians who innocently caught into a wrong fashion or passion to become destroyed.

The trendy people are all not good and bad, but its richness and money power that change their costume as well as their attitude without working or thinking about future what their father will take care of. Today the education and profession has given opportunity to taste the international trend, but we are not to fall totally into an awesome culture and develop a siren against our very own which is still praised by everybody. The movie is a right indication of wrong attitudes of people.

Wishing everyone a bright, happy and elegant New Year! Good bye 2010

(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.
