Drops from out of city

Goat fights; both jump and batter their heads… they said some time it even broke their horns.

It’s a childhood entertain in village. Palmyra vehicle that made in empty palm shell. Those days we make this when we go to fields and roll the way returning to the house (cousin uncle’s house).

Beautiful white cow calf.

They rushed to the lake to eat the dry grass. Get to near the sheep’s, stopped to watch, but haven’t drive away.

Sun is near to hide. After a long time being with sun!

This dog named Jony, was very intelligent and practice lovingly. They talk with it and it also understands and obeys their words. Every time we go to village he join with us and comes everywhere we go.

This old man is plough setting the land with his bulls, for cultivate. After tractors were introduced this type of plough setting has decreased. When we were taking him a photo he shouts “yaarupa athu photo edukurathy” (who is that taking photo).

These little goats (totally 3) have a consensus, that they have white shades in ears. I kept them in my hands; the hairs are very smooth and soft. Adorable!

Safe mode ride

There was a line in Tamil “Thalaiku vanthathu Thalaipagaiyoda pogatum” (what comes to head let go by turban). If anyone from the six corporation cities in Tamil Nadu, then this line is for you (for other areas its from July 1). There are just two days left to the final install of the law to wear helmet compulsory while driving two-wheelers was coming into force. Per 1988 motor act 129 those whoever driving and sitting behind the two-wheelers has been compel to wear helmet, but in 1989 it have be withdraw by government. Now this law have brought again, as the heavy flow of vehicle, rash driving to accidents have increased and most of the time injuries are in head that lose the life.

Even there was no act, very little much of people were wearing helmets and many were careless of their protection. As per survey static’s, for every 4 minutes one person were injured in head and in the six reasons to death, this is considering as sixth one to die. In many countries even a 3 year child were advised to wear helmet when riding cycle, here some above the teen aged people are unaware of their safe, but could notice the increase of wearing helmet’s in last two years. When the helmet businesses were in high, an organization belonging to two-wheeler association was announced to fight against, if the helmet were made compulsory.

The first reason they kept is: “The big metros like Delhi and Bangalore too has this act, that’s why the terrorism is more there. So if it was compel here, the silence of Tamil Nadu will disturbed and terrorism would be moving freely. By wearing helmet the accidents will only increase than decrease; we can’t hear the horn of the vehicle behind us and we can’t turn back suddenly, only to be like rein tied horse.” I think these are unnecessary fear they are trying to create. But one point they strongly affirm was, if a person was to face accident with helmet was easy to die, because of breaking the neck bone when falling with helmet!”

This law needs some concentration when moving into force. The govt. must clear properly in taking children in two-wheelers and a strict ban in how many should be taken in a two-wheeler. Even the govt. compel on helmets, there are something important to change like good roads, clean arrangement on directions, restriction on using cell phones while driving and takeoff unnecessary obstruction on roads that disturbs (esp. in ECR the obstructions are in highly dangerous to cut turn). Till these and more or not made, we can’t get a safe ride is sure.

Happy day for Aravind

Today my cousin brother Aravind’s birthday, seems little distress for me now. Every year we celebrate his birthday by cutting cake in my house, at the time he used to be in holidaying with me. With presence of grandpa grandma and others singing happy birthday to you… last year it was to celebrate in kodaikanal in our vacation and it was an unforgettable movement. But this year staying away from me; he may be spending his B’day in a new place with schoolmates (for the first time) in Kotagiri boarding hostal.

Except one or two years, I was with him on his birthdays. His first birthday memories would come rarely sometime to me, like now. As I like kids, from the day he born I love to be with him. It was first delivery for my aunty, so she stays for months in my grandma’s house. Weekends must be with him, keeping him on my lap and touching his hands, just adoring his little movement while sitting beside him are making me smile here.:) From before few days to his B’day I started to collect money to buy a gift for my cute brother. On his B’day I brought a teddy bear and I was carry it with me till handing to him. He in a white t-shirt and blue trouser with his rolled cotton candy hair, I present him the teddy bear before he cut the big He-man cake and got a kiss from him and took photo’s.

Aravind is very close to me, being a supporting bro and I have big confident on him, he would achieve in his life. He was very wished for me to come with him to Nilgiris to leave him in hostel, but my situation was not practice and I know he would be expecting me next time when their parents go to visit him. I don’t know weather I can help me to be there… but hope the day will come soon to spend some days with him there to see the lovely sights of Nilgiris, before he left to holidays here in Nov & Dec. Happy Birthday my dear:)

Out of city

The day starts with not that hot to travel out of city to the village of my mom’s aunty. After half the way with heavy traffic of heavy vehicle (this is commonly notable in IT corridor, ones Old Mahabalipuram road), first we visit the Murugar temple in Thiruporur the one I visited in last December. This time also seated near a good view at tank that has shortage in water compare to last time. It was not at all surprise that filled lake was totally dry in the 42 degree Celsius temperature this summer. Spending few minutes and tasting the pure buffalo milk… what a great drink it was after long times of drinking packed milk from shop, in mom’s aunty house we headed to joyful place, the fields.

That’s one of a pleasant place it was in our world. From the polluted and always noisy days in city, just relaxing under the clam and cool wind giving large mango tree, surrounded by green field and breeze of village is welfare. Eating Palmyra fruit, tender water by passing time with cousins, finishes the lunch under the tree with cousins, mom, and dad. But the only missing joy was, wetting the foot in the canal of the pump set water (like last summer), due to electric cut. Thanks to my power chair that makes me to move around the village, which was a small expectation for long… today it gives a big excitement that would be unforgettable. Had a free ride in the evening on the dry lake with cousin. The sun was to set behind us the place gives me a enjoy mood as the group of sheep’s arrive and buffalos bathing in small stayed waters.

Breaking the empty small shells on the lake was fun u see. The sounds from it was very different, we went near the lake water, which has big fishes. While seeing the sun, the dry lake and groups of sheep’s it took to me the Veyyilodu Vilaiyadi song from film Veyyil. Its disappoint that the electric came just before we leaving, so coulden’t enjoy in water. Village people were seeing my chair with differ, but there was a feel that day-by-day the village is losing its nature. Concrete houses, high compounds and fencing lands, which could see as concrete floors soon, gives me a thought how much days are this place looks like as it be now and when the agriculture lands loses to the industries there is nothing like development kills the nature. Mind craves to spent some more times there, but can’t as it was 6 at evening, driving on the traffic road, that too in dark is hard to dad.

Healthy request for people

The Healthy party in state always trying to object evil thing to people. First it was smoking habit increase in people because of films using smoking scenes. (Don’t know were the law to bring ban for smoking scenes is sleeping). They give crisis for old man’s government from beginning to close liquor shops in state as its evil for people. While going through his statement recently asking government to close the liquor shops and last weeks fury speech to smash all liquor shops in state. I think they are in urgency. Closing the liquor shops is not that easy, as they close the shop all drunkards will stop drinking? or can they leave the habit of drinking suddenly?

They automatically look for the illicit liquor or deceit drink that brought from other state. In our state there are many helping mind people who are to understand the expectations of drinkers, and take it as there practice. I could go with healthy party that many families are suffering by drunkards who fail to take care of their family and children. Could see many women who are working as house worker in residents are facing the drunkard husband. Till drinking was not be controlled by Indian law, we can’t make a end point. What I tell was we need more rehabilitation centers, before that the government should take a survey about drinkers and make an organization to find the drunkard’s family and make a chat with the family members to create an aware against liquor. I feel without the family’s support we can’t change the drunkards.

None of them would like the one in his family destroying himself by drinking. The mind changes are the only change that could turn the drunkards as normal people. If it happens the liquor shops would be empty with no one to buy the bottles. Not only this, the shops must be reducing as people get out from the drinking habit. Will government do this? Information from govt. side said that they are not ready to close the liquor shops, because it was the high income-giving department to govt.

Any suggestions to end the liquor from state welcomes...
