Let people approach themselves

Now it is election season in five states across country and among them Tamil Nadu has been our ground base with political parties at rush to settle for alliance and selecting their candidates to run for the legislative assemble election hold for April 13th. The ruling party had well concluded there alliance and the oppositions at their end of conclusion, the furor about election have been at higher level across state with strict rules followed by Election Commission.

It’s time to decide on whom to rule the next half decade and what I think to be taken into mind is who deserves better than bad and worse. There is no perfect politician when even a man could not be and whether more or less corruption is wrong, and we can’t balance it either to go with but less corrupted is better to decide. What u says?
People poll vote expecting that the government would do something on their behalf and so far every government had done their best to deserve people attention and whatever the intention could be, selfless person is indeed hard to find and what need to see is who creates better opportunities than making already exist worst by affect others.

What really bothers me about the election was the free of cost schemes proclaimed by the ruling government that instinct to continue as a vote banking idea would make people easier deaf dumb and prevent from thinking. In my view I see the free of cost schemes could turn people lazier more easily and fail to realize the worth of getting it on their own.

I am not such cruel against people enjoying the free of cost things that at least of what we experience and enjoy greater, but what I think was by creating certain ways or strategic could lead them to buy things on their own, interest and hard work which could make them realize the worth of buying. I am not in intend to blame the government or people, and who won’t buy when something is given free of cost, but what significant is how well it meet there real basic needs.

What I just like to say simply is, show the way to destination let people approach themselves and they will know how worth they are and understand the importance. There are many wonderful schemes announced and how well they take center stage is beyond doubt and elder people should come out by not just justifying the party and persons alone but how well they cope upon with a vision.

Bird watch, Olive Island

The other day went out with a friend along with parents and it wasn’t a destination based but just a wander across ECR (east coast road) and to find a decent place for our lunch out, which is our second time to go outing together. We come across the backwater off Kovalam and glad to see a bunch of sea birds flying so close and catching fishes and flapping frequently around the area in search of.

I tried by best to capture the birds that were closely come to fly and landing on water and it is the first time I see seabirds, which I later come to known as Black Headed Gull. Since water stagnant was less, the salt pan has set path for storing salts and a little black cormorant stretched leisurely her wings to put dry in the air and it was a pretty scene to see it stretched for long.

After relaxing a while and chitchat for long after our lunch break in one of the casuarinas groves off ECR, we stop for a route to the olive Island which is in one of my wish list to check that always attract me every time I come across the Muttukadu. I had took various attempts to find route for this Island but at last get to check it with the help of the friend who encouraged me to try a private gateway that lead to a resort which is under construction.

I never know before until check the island that it has been in active sometime ago before a couple of constructions took place, including an underdeveloped Olive Island resort. There are evidence of a rundown fisheries farm in the island and remaining pans still alive with the growth of prawns and for collecting clams, which we aware through a bunch of guys loading there sacks of clams and few have already set to fire the clam curry on spot.

The island wasn’t much pretty as I expected to be seeing from away, with a row of coconut trees and lagoons in solitary attitude. I felt it was too late to land there after certain space of it was brought into a private resort and the road where narrow with a small shutter to exit in or out water due to high-low attitude.

With a confine sate we drive home after purchasing few rose plants from a nursery to replace the dead ones, which no more withstand more than 6 months and already one had gone in them and remaining ones are ready to bloom out of bud! The friend whom joined with us is none than Karthik’s Mom, who gave birth to a beautiful mind and brilliant brain and who’s our family friend for some time now and hopefully being a caring mother forever.

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.

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.

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.
