Happy Harvesting

Pongal, as we all know it is a harvesting festival celebrated across India in various names and one among it is renowned as Sankranti. Though the festival is celebrated in various forms according to states culture and tradition it commonly signifies the harvest and Maker Sankranti marks the transition of the Sun into Capricorn on its celestial path.

Today the harvesting process has taken various stages in development and machineries taking over the man power in reducing his stress and to increase the productivity. Though we are advanced in technology somehow and somewhere we are still poor in productivity and many people are lacking for essential commodities to harvest and cultivate.

The harvesting is not an easy process like we proceed in Farmville and it need lot of patient and care before going for harvest in time. Thought I am not well aware about the process which could be simple and yet easy we need to feed the seeds and irrigate properly in time before they go dry completely or flooded with water to decay almost, but these days nature has changed irregularly to affect the food productivity that witness in inflation.

Not alone the process has changed; even there are no lands to increase the cultivation to feed the increasing population that taking place the lands to constructions and real-estates. Though we still have enough lands to cultivate grains and vegetables the interest among farmers have reduced to give prior to farming more than seeking for a settlement and questioning why we need to work hard when all comforts goes to citizens living in cities?

I am not intend to talk about the causes that affects in inflation or farming but thinking about the festival the things come automatically in comfort and we couldn’t think any more on this time than farming and harvesting which is the concept of this festival. Though we all have thoughts about farming and want to see it saved from the causes that affect the productivity, the non proper price fixed for seeds and grains produce the trouble among farmers and dwellers who affected by the high rise in price and money.

The Pongal is less than a day ahead and thinking that we are thanksgiving the nature and famers and livestock’s that support us to nourish and survive healthy, I feel so content and happy. The mood of festival cheering me the times thinking about Pongal, which I see it as the best among festival celebrating the harvest. On this occasion I wish that more youngsters come into the field of farming to help our poor farmers and save our future that truly depend on farming.

Here I go with my Pongal greetings that I designed the latter days and it’s always pleasure to greet with our own depict on thoughts and feeling and it’s been sometime I created greetings that I send to my cousins and I brought one of if here to greet u all a very Happy Harvesting festival of joy, peace, happiness and reliance between relationships esp. friendship...

Tie up Interest

Like everybody I too have a lot of interest and passion to be but getting someone to accompany or support the cause could be little difficult and hardly impossible by quite minded and even though they are forced to be perhaps end up bored or annoyed. Even it is not right to urge anyone or those unconcern about our interest we are in need to withstand their disapproval manner if we are indent to do something indeed depend on them and only if we are certain about their despite we could go further quite comfort.

There is a tendency mind that always seeks to see is there any ways to satisfy their deeds done to us and think how certain are we about their interest. I always think two different things before going to ask someone aid that I don’t disturb their work concern and personal space, because it is very important to me more than my cause and thus because I too have my own life that I never what to be disturbed by others.

I miss many chances upon interest due to many other works of others and not intend to be free in time and more than that it’s their unconcern about my interest. Those are the times I always go back in mind thinking how chanced we are to be inadequate of substance and try to console myself that what intend to be sustain when things go out of hand. But I am well conscious about my status that helps me to resolve the issues arise in mind.

Sometimes out of knowledge and perception an awestruck happens in mind that could not console my concern but little bit to understanding could do better if we understood others. What I really wanted to say here was a personal interest could not do better if the circumstance do not understand u as a person and we always face discomfort when forcing someone to aid your interest esp. when one become physically depend on others, the situation becomes worse.

Beyond the end

Following the Big Temple visit we moved to an Amman temple, naming ‘Punnainallur Mariamman’ which seems so renowned and a older one in Thanjavur and somehow 7km from big temple. It was also a big temple, occupying a lot of space outside the temple with rows of shops sheltered by cement roof sheets. I wasn’t interested by going inside the temple and not knowing a wheel chair could enter freely, but nice to see the temple itself provides wheel chair and being non able to avoid the parent’s force I went inside. It’s been a very long time I entered an Amman temple, after a lot of time accompanying mom in scholar days, it sense something strange for me.

The temple’s outlook wasn’t charming and having a certain tower, the interiors are similar like inside a mosque with green gray tiles for floor and rows of pillars and pials to discuss. Cousin and I just went a quick round inside the temple and came out and waited for parents to complete their vision. We see many people coming here with their new and old vehicles to conduct rituals and decorate the front phase with garlands which reflects in our vehicle also. It was early night when we left the temple and went to hotel and checked with govt. guest house as the hotel bears some steps to climb, we are glad by hap to get accommodation and leaving grandparents in the hotel room since we had paid, we moved into the guest house which is on the other bank of the branch Cauvery river.

The room was very spacious to accommodate 5 of us and pretty cool due to blowing a/c and through it was comfortable, slumber was something struggled. The other day we wake up leisurely and I went out to see the guest house has a beautiful garden and quiet neat environment to attract me seemingly. There was the Geiger tree (also known as Cordial Sebestena or Scarlet Cordial) to bloom in pretty orange was down to earth from its clusters and it was so nice capturing the vivid flower hold it to hand. The garden was very green with little footbridges and very small canals painted in white and blue indicating the house belongs to PWD. Few meters away flows the Cauvery wholly caressing the banks of river which’s floating was well alike the backwaters of Kerala. Even there wasn’t heavy rain derives from the season by then, the least to overflow canals gaze me in happiness. It was the overall feeling from the tour to Thanjavur.

It might come to a conclusion here, but the memories would last ever and the excitement of visiting the big temple and come across the district will always remain in mind and cheer to go around another round in near future. The many places I have been visiting in 2010 and memories that are more enough still pending and with the arrival of New Year and lately events, I wanted to complete the current ones in time before going in to a leisure depict about the past experience and memories. Thank you!

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
