The song of sparrows

Watched this Iranian movie (The song of sparrows) which comes in an English subtitle was a simple yet affective story of a man who works from a countryside ostrich farm near Tehran with a beautiful family of five, when one of the ostrich escaped from the farm thrown him out of job and who drive to Tehran to repair his daughter’s hearing aid get chance to drop a fellow at his destination which followed him to take the bike taxi as a profession and thus how changes his attitude and realization, caress the remaining story.
With the title, the song of sparrows, showcasing the largest bird on land, ostrich, is something unexpected but yet so real how it escape from the farm and the way used to trace the bird was interesting and I know now that ostrich too has fabulous feathers and not to forget the end with a spectacular sight of ostrich dance which twist its neck back to attract mate.

Karim, the head of the family portrait the familiar father character well and couldn’t differentiate by country or language and so was his acting and speaking weren’t like apart from our neighborhood cinema. The movie defines how own things and money take chance to change a person’s attitude from being generous and honest and without going deep in emotion the realization take place beautifully into the mind of a man when he fall down to wake up with the support of others.

The children part in this feature film is the real enthusiastic and fun, regards touched by their passion for fishes and the wish to clean the septic tank to grow fishes comes as a surprise when later found it to be pristine clean. The most scanning scene comes when boys lose their balance and dropped the tub full of fishes on the pavement is a great cause of desperate to see how fishes wiggle to survive and the boys wipe away the fishes into the roadside canal since tear dropping.

At last to display the sparrow regard the caption, the Karim’s kindness towards the bird which caught into his house by helping it to fly away after its attempts through the glass window even he find it hard to open the door with his bandaged limb. The movie also bears some nostalgia and one of it cheers the memory of adjusting TV antenna on terrace and thus shouting from downstairs whether it is clear or not – the father son compo is lovable here.

It is a very pleasant movie to watch along with our families and mom also showed interest watching the movie in-between her cooking gesture and if missed a scene or phase she ask me what happened next. Thorough it was beautiful and I enjoyed the simple gestures even missing subtitles and want to check the other presentations of the director’s Majid Majidi, who has some enchanting titles as reliable. It looks like close to coincident to watch the movie with World Sparrow’s day ahead for Sunday (March 20)!

Regards Land of rising sun

No need to say how intense and rage was the waves washout Japan after a strong earthquake which we all see on constant videos, want us to share mourn and set condolence waves to reach our fellow beings who suffer from the greater devastation and indefinite loss of lives that we all wish to come into cease. The thoughts have been around them these days and keeping in touch with news about the rescue operations and wishing the nuclear reactors are prevented from radiation which cause a greater alarm to people who suffered a lot and we no more to see them affect with the explosion and fail to cool reactors.
The tsunami has one again make realize at large how wealth we are couldn’t rescue from this disaster and seems precaution has helped them to save lot of lives except those lose to waves. Earthquakes and tsunamis are not new to Japanese who set their lives on motion and often trembles are an example to be courageous and rise from where lives have been shattered to ashes and debris and come foremost in line of technologies and ideas are sure to prove again they are no fainter.

Couldn’t avoid thoughts seeing the tides crush through sand while at beach on Sunday, we talked and remembered about our devastation from Indian Ocean tsunami which we are somehow glad to be unlike Japan which washout about 10km offshore is something partial to close Chennai. I am somehow fear to waves from childhood and hardly have memories standup at sea waves and after tsunami I am little more scared if tides are unusual or rage.

It’s really hard to image life without electric which we all entirely depend on need and even an hour current cut cause annoy and disturbance but there millions without electric is seriously a problem and lack of water to drink and lose of homes and livelihoods has brought life to the edge with minus temperature to survive. More over the scare over the leak of nuclear reactors has began to threaten people immensely sending away wakeup call for every nation to make sure their reactors are secure to withstand certain disasters. Things happen and we couldn’t change or stop the reaction and we are to learn lessons how to survive when such disaster strike us somehow. Let hope all our heartfelt wishes and condolence rays console their unconditional lose to waves and prevent radiation.

Waterfall

Amid the green gardens of tea estate, flow’s this beautiful waterfall enchants with an outcome name that refers to the estate it belong to in Valparai near Coimbatore. Along the way it’s very pleasant through the estate situated among the scenic location, the estate comes as a first glance of tea garden with admiring winding ghat section while climbing on way to Valparai.
Fall's within waterfall
I get to spent sometime around this estate after late lunch afternoon and I was pretty moved by the cool wind blows off silently to sense and coming under haven of mist spread zone frequently, it rather always cool and clouded. I had been to Valparai twice and have been checking this location for some time and it remains either cool or sunshine which is frequent exchange here cause very pleasant in attitude always.

Somehow I miss those wonderful shots shoot at this place of cloud covered mountains due to mystery error which erased certain pictures from my camera which I feel those moments could never restore except remembering. It wonder to see how people climb down and on the valley then in blinking seconds through the narrow, uneven, zigzag pathway between the tea plantations even its obvious that practice put them on right path.
Winding ghat
The Waterfall Estate holds a wonderful bungalow which I want to check sometime hearing it’s enhance chance to experience an wonderful vacation, staying amid the mist spread zone and valley view lawn. The other day while climbing down the hills, we checked the hut cafe run by the waterfall estate to have our last sip of tea before leaving away the fabulous climate across hill stations.

The hut cafe attract us thought its mini falls besides its park like setup with couple of huts and a small arched bridge and more than the taste of tea, it’s the location and glistening green leaves reflect to sunlight get observed. I have covered almost places across Valparai but the drive towards it seems never ending and still has lot to share and discover in this heavenly seven.

Wow Women!

What I think about women is right or wrong but I have thoughts to share with u about women who’s our profound desire and without women no man can survive in this world and they are our source of life which dwells around them. First as a mother we couldn’t compare any other relationship parallel to her and what made women so special was because being womanhood and thus becoming motherhood is consider to be so scared and venerable and according to a child she’s a livelihood.

There is no way a man could live without women and he need to come across her at every instance as a mother, sister, wife, daughter and overall as a friend man lives depend on women and of course women to men. Just being a son I could only talk about mother, who’s behind and in front of my life to keep me sustain and I couldn’t think a world with my mother and even in my dream I couldn’t survive without her, because she’s my life and no one could part me from her in this inevitable world.
Happy Women's Day
(A women worker in valparai estate near Coimbatore.)

As a brother I don’t have a sister, except cousin sisters I don’t have someone to communicate personally or consider to be my sister. Whose fault is this I don’t know! Lol. With often or sometime communicating with them I understand the sweetest essence exist through their abundant and exuberating concern and love and desire is consider to be never adjutant to any other relationship in this world. Being in there care and concern is rejuvenate and I always love to be along with them and they behalf consider me as a friend and fellow brother to share things that excite and enthusiasm them.

About wife, it’s not in the list of my concern or wish and never desire for a woman except dream, imagination and crushes which consider being common among men and women and inspires lot of attitude to write poem or create characters unrealistic despite concern. I too dream a lot about women and never take it too serious or concern to get disturbed or depressed later to struggle with mind, but I have obvious reasons to be like that which is in our genes and gender to be so.

I have a sweet and cute daughter in my dream with who I play and grow up according to my knowledge and trend with my special concern for her to be on my interest and how I like to see my daughter grow up unaffected by her character and giving quite freedom to realize her dreams. I never think women is lesser to man and I realize that women is more sufficient than man and incredibly mysterious and bear unbearable trouble and pain we fail to realize or tried to understand!

I had and have some friends in schools and blog whom were so close to me than men and I really treat them as my dear sisters and friend and rarely consider to be fun loving and liberal related to reliable of knowledge and sense. I see women as an equal phase of society and growing at rapid speed of development in knowledge and profession and in many fields according to their immense ability and create a Wow (world of women) where they could stand on their own and fight for their rights and amendment, not alone for themselves and also for their wow community.

Wow… what a species women! Congrats women for being there as our well wishers and hope the world will realize your individual freedom and treat u as a fellow human being and considering your facts and knowledge you were at the furthermost advanced in education and professional wise and continue to grow furthermost defeating man in every column they ruled the organization. Whatever knowledge or ability wise we praise you, you are the most wanted women where our hope for future is defined and design by you and no one could forget this easily so as uneasy to say in few words here. Love you dear women!

ஏணி / Ladder


ஏறி வந்த ஏணியை எட்டி உதைக்காதே
இன்னும் பலர் ஏறவேண்டி இருக்கு
உன்னாலே.

ஏணியை நீ கொண்டு வந்தாயோ, இல்லை
எவனோ விட்டு சென்றதில் ஏறினாயோ
ஏற்றம் ஒன்றுதான்.

ஏறும்போது தன்னடக்கம், தலைகுனிந்து;
பின் ஏறிய பிறகு தலைக்கனம் எதற்கு?
இன்னும் படிகள் இருக்கு ஏறுவதற்கு
விழுந்து விடாதே, தலை-கனத்து!

Don’t kick the ladder u climbed on
there are more to climb on
because of you.

Whether u brought the ladder or
you climbed on someone had left
though mount is one.

While climbing its humble, heads down;
then y haughtiness after u climbed?
There are still steps to climb
don’t fall, in head weight!

p.s. I wrote this poem while thinking about how people become haughty after reaching certain stages in life. It hurt to see how people change their attitude like a status message in messenger and publicizing themselves as if they have achieved sophisticated and forgetting the path they have traveled this distance and touched the attitude as if they gaining everything on their own and at a moment experience.

Could people become that much selfish to even forget their little past that cause their present and gonna be reflecting in their future and how can they simple deny and act like nothing had happen in the past and everything happened because of their quite exhaust. Too much to say about, but no mind to share about anything that exhaust like someone who finish off everything at a moment and relax while being comfort.
