Firework display during Deepavali

Palm Tree Effect

From young to old everyone enjoys fireworks that blast into the sky; create an artificial florescent and colorful Rangoli in the present of dark nights and Deepavali is an occasion in India where fireworks displace enormous charming across the nation and adding more glorious to earth among the twinkling stars of universe. This Diwali I got a great opportunity capturing the vibrant firecrackers that fascinated the sights across the sky; and I spent more than an hour shooting the colorful comets at the neighborhood of Chennai – Neelankarai, at my grandmother’s sister house.

The pictures weren’t so spectacular and perfect at blossom, but I tried my best sitting on the power wheel chair with no preconscious from which side the florescent firework hold its display, clicked random from whichever direction it comes and by observing its blowup volume. It was enchanting and enthralling completely and I got to see variety of colors and designs beholding the sight and the sound cheering the festival spirit and celebration.

Following are few photos I captured from deepavali. Hope u like it!

Deepavali resound

Soundless deepavali is unimaginable, but it’s possible for a reduction in volume and certainly it’s going to witness in future of the peoples attraction was towards the fantastic displays in nights. It feels so empty and boredom without sounds on deepavali. At every corner around our resident we hear loud and light resonance throughout the day which gives us the festival mood, that we share the same circumstance of happiness making around with people bursting crackers. The streets to be visible of colorful fire fountains, the rotations of floor chakras and continue burst of red Walla crackers turn to be a festival season will stop people to attention. Thus we have the favorable colors and sparkles matches, the tendency on watching colorful displays increases than the road side bursting crackers. To tell children and more young are uninterested to spend on streets and tired making fire at every piece of explosion. So the decisions on to buy few fireworks that satisfy the happiness of colors.

Yearly we come across by awareness of explosions, the pollution and smoke release in atmosphere, even though we continues the practice of bursting crackers as if sometime we forget those and move to happiness of lights and sound. Am not distance from this, and from kid I am very enthusiastic on fireworks and away from lighting myself I love these days watching colorful display and buy them to make cousins lit to watch. Somehow the sweets being the flavor, the joy of this festival is fire crackers and lights, thus more people unlit the earthen lamps on this day only arrange to the up come full moon day. There is no more difference except the taste of people on selecting fireworks; thus the usage is reduced to the increase in price and the awareness of global warming, still we have to move closer in sharing this festival to end with peoples together.

Back from my last year post, the thought remains same. The unity in celebration is the way shows the little things large. Though we can stop this fully, but our wish want’s to remain in touch with fireworks, so it follows: “Instead of just bursting at all corners and outside our gateways, we can bring people in crowd at a specific place or our streets, colony and apartment resides to gather in undisturbed place and celebrate the fireworks. Because of this, the money spent on buying and using fireworks are reducing, as well we also enjoyed the festival of sharing the fireworks and avoiding more environmental degenerate.” What is the true happiness of festival without people around? Let’s get together and celebrate the festival of lights together. My wishes to u all for peaceful and safe deepavali!

Deepavali 2017 (remarks)

Deepavali passed off pretty well last week and I had wonderful time celebrating and going out watch the dazzling fireworks displays from the neighbourhood. I wasn’t doing much anything these days but too lazy or not interested to post or write something while I was in festival mood and relaxed being. Though the day wasn’t great or differs from a regular Sunday, that begin with watching television and having curry kulambu for breakfast, the evening turned wonderful with lighting fireworks and going to beach to watch the aerial fireworks light up from the neighbourhood. I took many photos/videos on the fireworks display either at ground or sky; it was fun shooting from three different cameras – iPhonse SE, Canon powershot and Gopro hero 5. More photos to come soon and do check the video at end of the post.

Multi color fountain

Unlike earlier people don’t look or feel festival and even greeting each other has come down, but I shouldn’t wonder really about it as confronting smile had dropped from day-to-day life. But I was more cheerful cherishing my old memories and I couldn’t prevent happiness popping up and the sound of crackers makes feel festive. Compare to previous years, bursting of fireworks are less this year but there was high smoke on Deepavali evening/night. The high humidity in air and along with mild fog the firework smoke sustained into the ambience without gaps to escape. But it turned normal next day.

Red and Green fountains aka flower pots

I really amazed at the level of noise reduced this year and the interest on firework drop. The people say price raise, GST and demonetisation, but this isn’t matter really and from my observation, the firework price was bit less comparing last year. Moreover the sudden environmentalists has created a irk feeling and people doesn’t want to be pointed out guilty or whatever they say, its better leave alone those unwanted to burst. I’m sure in future bursting fireworks will be reduced and children who aren’t interested in firework shouldn’t be forced and it will help in transformation. The environmentalists should continue to voice against pollution instead popping head on Diwali alone. Fireworks do not rule us all the days and it highlights what really hides within and unlike crackers it destroys quiet.

More  to come soon.

Sunday Photos: Deepavali Snacks, Murukku

Murukku is a traditional south Indian food/snack and it can either brought from the store or homemade using rice flour, fried gram and butter as main ingredient. Alike every year, this year too we made Murukku (along with Adhirasam – a traditional sweet) at home during the Deepavali, where one evening mom and aunt sat on the floor for preparing the same and I used the opportunity to take some photos on the process.  Making sweets and snacks is a custom for us or we practice during Deepavali and distributing it to our relatives, friends and neighbors as a sign of sharing our festival spirit.  

The flour is filled on the Murukku maker – a vessel, where flour being pressed (using a handle on top) to get strings of dough through small holes at the bottom. Just like in the photo below.

A circular layer of Murukku (after swirling strings of dough) on the ladle before drop into the hot oil boils in the pan, to get a view as below.

The Murukku get fried after two or three twist and turns in the hot oil in the pan, and once turned deep yellow or orange is lifted using a stainless steel stick like the process below.

 

Two to three Murukku can be fried at a time and is left on the paper for some time to let it absorb the excess oil. And then stored in enclosed box and distribute later  

Sweets and snacks

Like I said in my previous post, Deepavali is not only about firecrackers sweets and snacks are part and special ingredient of the festival of lights. Every year we prepare sweets and snacks at home and distribute it to relatives and friends as a source of sharing our festival zest. Usually the sweet and snack we prepare at home was the traditional items of "Athirasam and Murukku", though both are made of rice flour Athirasam has melted Jaggery and patted rondure. I think people who follow certain customs as Nombu are bound to prepare Athirasam and Murukku but there isn't a restriction to go beyond making varied sweets and snacks.

Below is a collage of our preparation at home:

I feel regret now why we shifted our house from the apartment, as I think how wonderful it has been then sharing the festival sweets and snacks with flat neighbours likewise they do.  Though we share with a neighbour here, I feel something missing on the festival front and it wwasn'tlively it used to be with kids running around and shouting happy Deepavali in energetic yet sweet voice. It was another wonderful scene to see kids all gather at the entrance of the apartment and enjoy bursting and sharing the firecrackers. Most of the time it’s only the kids bring the Deepavali snacks and greet us in their glorious colourful attires. 

My Deepavali celebration Video 2021

I share here a short video on my Deepavali celebration of fireworks. I like fireworks from childhood, and my favorites are night crackers and sky shots. Deepavali is the only time we get a chance to light and watch fireworks; though I only hold up to sparkler, I buy sky shots and fancy fireworks to let someone light on my behalf, and I watch and shoot with interest. The same applied this time, and for a change, my childhood friend (from the neighborhood) lit up the sky shots instead of my cousin, who used to do it yearly, had gone out on a trip. I added some mild 3d effects available with the video editor to make this photos/videos show.

(De)lighting deepavali

I am back to routine life from the mood in festival of lights. I hope every one had a wonderful celebration around the time of deepavali. I felt that I am the only in celebrate mood on festival in interest at my family, other were in differently occupied there interest. Some where was on search of getting tickets for first show in diwali release movies; some busy in buying DVD at low price in diwali sale. Where else the sound of crackers heard before and after and on diwali day, the skies were open to flow of colorful fireworks from all sides. Where in suburbs the celebration was more than city, they started from 2.pm onwards. Just wondering whom would be waked this time to burst crackers, but they do. It was early morning we planed to take bath, but anyway it was only after 7am to get ready, wearing new clothes, watching television from morning to late afternoon, having special dish after worshiping. A day before diwali I went to beach with dad, picking my cousin at there place, a crowd less time in beach, where little sight of fireworks, girls and to maintain like with out watching them when being with cou sis and some physically challengers find there time spending.

By afternoon I received by cousin brother whom I looking forward, he bust crackers where I watch. In my apartment there was no space doing for fireworks, filled with cars and not easily going surrounding, we were to leave for my uncle’s place in neelankarai (a suburb). I wished now that I was there… really it was around beautiful times full of colors flowing without leaving a minute gap of fireworks flashing on the sky. A highly rich area, very bungalow residents leaving the sky outs fireworks continuously. There we join with uncle and cousins, we happily enjoyed with firecrackers and don’t want to miss the colors and on my wish we stayed till restricted time of 10. The much waited of the celebration was on next day we call it nombu. It was small get together of my own family; the very happier time was getting my grandpa and ma on this day, it was great to have dinner along with every one.

Like how I had fun, the same I was boredom on Saturday, completer silent from cracker sounds, television and no mood looking at papers; but did to find some thing related to diwali. It was solace report there were limited pollution on noise and smoke, where the sound was kept below 76 decibel from the maximum of 126 decibel allowed. I feel the trend is changing from bombs to fancy fireworks that bring colors lights in night, in cities the sounds where less, but in suburb there is limitless enjoying on fireworks. Weekend have some relatives to home, to share sweets and smiles. There were many plans dropped to spend in holidays and what my wheelchair did was helpful, I could move on my own inside the enjoyment free from many other stresses. Thanks a lot to all who wished me, surprised me in cards, calling, wording. Below are some pics from festival:

Preventive Action

The rains are on the way to Chennai with monsoon supposed to pick up in few days; the work on prevention of rainwater to flood has been going on for last two days at our house. Glad the owners of our row houses decided, at last, to take preventing measures to keep away the rainwater entering the houses has made us all breathe easy and also drops our  plan of shifting house. We have informed our landlord that we’re shifting house this month end and were also almost confirmed a house in the same street, but for some unknown reason  they denied renting their home and we were looking some other ones. At the same time the tenant of the other house in the row urged their house owner (who connected with other two) to make certain the rainwater doesn’t flood the homes and work started within a week of discussion made hold our plan.

People know that last year’s monsoon turned out to be a disaster and we were not ready to take risk by believing it won’t rain that much… although it isn’t certain of any kind, precaution has been the only way. We were disappointed with the landlord of ours when they haven’t take a step in preventing the food even after the torrential rains stopped and moreover haven’t take a look into the home to examine the damages. So we had no hope on them making arrangement for preventing water, but thanks to our next-door tenant and because of his pressure they come together for a solution. And as an initial step they are building a ramp in front of the house to block road water entering the premises and reconstructed a wall that was damaged. The drainage system is also supposed to rise and talk with corporation people has been put forward. 

It seems like I could not come out of the house for next few days until the work completes. Just a  day left for Deepavali, the festival of lights, it looks like the celebration is restrain within our premises and I think I’m going to miss going out in nights during the Diwali to watch fireworks ignited in the neighborhood. Though it gives me slight disappointment, I understand the importance of the preventive action which is indeed significant than any other. I really couldn’t believe things happening on our favor, because the landlord side wasn’t bit hopeful towards us to continue our stay at this house that’s comfort at many ways. The flood water (during rainy season) has been the only trouble for us at this house, and if it was solved there isn’t a problem to sustain though there are some which is adjustable. 

My festival greetings to all those celebrate Deepavali. 

Joint pain and Joint family

This week I received a supplement on orthopedics along with ‘the week’ magazine and it reveals many a causes and treatment for joint pains and knee replacement and one of the reason that doctor’s point out make me feel hit the nail on the head. Apart the active lifestyle and life expectancy, fall of joint family has been noticed by the doctors for the increase of joint pain, where one remain to take care of things independently.

I wonder how true the joints has been an important part in our lives to make a move and it should remain forever in motion with emotional cord chained within near and dear ones in family. I truly acknowledge the doctor’s perspective on joint family and I have a reason too to come to an agreement and the supplement came on time in my hand when I could feel the pain (not at the knee) of disjoint at heart.

I have experience on living as a joint family during my childhood and those days were never been same again and we were accompanying my uncle’s family (family of dad’s bro) and grandmother then. In the 1bhk house of own, we divided the huge kitchen with a barrier to make it as a bedroom for my uncle family and the arrival of aunt was very helpful at mom in sharing the household chores and taking care of us as kids.

Later my cousin born, we are forced to shift to ground floor of the house to give more space for them and even then we were like live together at through and practice and no event were celebrated at parted. There were some renovation and rebuilding take place at house in later days and we still continued to support each other at despite desperate and share common festivals and celebration and even after we shifted the location for my comfort my mind kept joint with them.

First time I feel the pain more in lately when they decided to go on individual basis on taking the custom related to Deepavali and for me the matter is not the custom or ritual related, which I don’t have faith but sharing the festival spirit and happiness. I believe the festivals are created for get together people and sharing the moment of happiness and love, but their decision to disjoint at traditional level makes me feel despair and anguish.

The sharing means not only about happiness or celebration but also involves helping each other when it comes to work or preparation of stuffs; and in a joint family there’s much chance for such tendency and if one wasn’t well the other take care to give rest for another to quick recovery. This is the natural state of a joint family and during this festival season we really miss the helping hands from our aunt, and mom solely had to prepare the Deepavali ‘sweet and snacks’ to share with relatives and neighbors.

I always wish for a joint family and it has a lot of positive aspects on life and the main reason was sharing and it may sound selfish if I say that a person with disability or old age, the joint family becomes a great backbone for their survey in case our parents or the children of old age find stubborn or struck with other chores. The joint family is one of a dream that often haunt me into the thoughts and I know it is impossible perhaps there is only way of disjoining families these day, I hope the best gift that life gives for us is the joint family – where there’s lack or less joint pains.

The Rain and Flood Seems Unending to Chennaities

Deepavali passed away quietly, literally, due to the less noise of crackers. Buying and bursting of crackers have come down this year, and there are reasons for that, which was the loss of interest and laziness, and beyond that, the court restrictions and weather, Diwali demanded fewer crackers. I think the Deepavali post can wait sometimes - I'm working on a short video on fireworks - and before that, the rain takes away the charm even before the festive weekend conclude. 

There was rain often around the city for the last few months has filled the reservoirs with enough water, and the saturated earth stopped quenching water has resulted in a flood following the Sunday rain. It was moderate to heavy rain begin from the night of Saturday to Sunday evening has left Chennai city flooded. It was a  heavy downpour recorded in a short period of 12 to 15 hours, reminding the citizens of the 2015 historical flood. 

I woke up in the morning to see our street (pic above and below) turned into a river! Since we live on the main road, the water from every other street (in our area) has to flow through our street and the stormwater drain. The rainwater kept flowing fully throughout the day till night since the stormwater drain was insufficient for the abundant water. 

The Sunday rain measured at 13-24 cm in less than 24 hours. Thankfully, the rain took some break later that night despite the red alert from the Meteorological department; there was some moderate to light rain yesterday and today.  Due to the formation of low pressure in the Bay of Bengal,  the rains will continue over the next week.  

Even before the northeast monsoon began a week ago, it rained sufficiently all over the state, and this monsoon rain will only be a bonus that cannot enjoy, rather people suffer and the water to the sea. The rainwater flooded my neighbor's house and garden opposite to us. If you remember, it was the same neighbor who reworked his garden damaged in last year's Nivar cyclone, who faced a similar situation on Sunday. Though he worked swiftly in pulling out the water, the prediction of rain going be distress to him. 

First time I hear the loud noise of frogs after shifting here. Frogs croak wasn't new to me, and I have listened to their chorus siren plenty in our former apartment with an open plot in front of the house. Now I think I miss many a thing related to rain after moving out from there, but that high-pitched croak reminded me a lot, and I'm glad at the same time we have moved to the first floor, which is pretty safe (during this time) than staying at the ground. 

Let's see what nature held for us, and whatever wish people have the ability to face the crises.

Best one at deepavali

I and my year 2007

Just three days left for the year 2008 to born, everyone could feel the same the year 2007 exits soon, it was like last month we celebrate the New Year at home and shared the wishes. Looking back the days come across was a nice thing to revisit the experience. It was an unusual pongal we celebrate in the traditional way of placing everything at open space in worshiping the sun and nature; to visit the nearest relative village on maattu pongal was a new experience I had to see not like the past we celebrate at my grandpa’s home here. A power I got additionally this year was my power wheel chare that took me around the places in easier way and also little stress free for my parents, but oppose to it I lost to a comfortless sleep at nights was a problem till now and the only thing is I hope to manage.

Visiting some places in my area and Adyar broken bridge is one of it I got to check when looking for a place to watch Chennai Air-Show. It was a beautiful place with back waters stays like lagoons and birds flying in groups. Another place I was visiting is Adyar Theosophical Society, after over 10 years. It’s a pleasant travel inside the tranquil place of varies plants birds… I am looking for another opportunity to enter this garden. Again a visit to the village, riding at the dry lake was a joy in it. My birthday was happen to be a remarkable and memorable one in my life, lots of greets from dear friends and family sent me to happiness and friend Narayanan Venkat’s visit to home specially on my B’day gives a great pleasure. My PC system failure in June and without internet for a month is a worst time in the year and was like helpless to contact anyone to know my situation.

Felt happy that I got a physiotherapist to check my activates, but it haven’t exist for more. He was only visited me for two day and contactless till now. There was lots of expenditure in 2007 to buy new PC, my power chair and medial treatment for grandma and dad and for other unexpected expenditure brings harder in managing the family budget. Even spending on treatments there is no further changes in the health and recent days struggle by dad for his arm and shoulder pain because of nerves jam was not consoled. Bringing to side the all other happening, the pain, suffer and emotionally hurts are waited on every day in some shapes and size. Distress was lead role in this year more for my dear parent’s than feeling my own health and relations love but not to live up to wonders neither its destiny or over expectation to help in need.

And the festivals like Ayutha pooja, Deepavali comes in some desired way, where I went to the celebration at my uncle’s workshop brought me the closer of the familiar moment at events and watching colors on deepavali was more enough comparing to past years. I met some new friend this year in blogging; those are very lovable in sharing, carrying friendship and being supportive through my life and hope they would be there and I would be here to share in coming years. With this let’s give a good bye to this year and pray for a beautiful 2008 to everyone. Be Happy :)

RGB Monday

Festival lights

Shot from the night before Deepavali! I usually go out to see what happens around during Diwali esp. the evening or night before the festival of lights and mostly to the beaches in neighbourhood where people gather more to just catch up with the mood of Deepavali, and this time I went to Palavakkam beach and watched some fireworks lighting up the sky despite the time restrictions it was wonderful to check out. The photos carry some colourful light decorations from the shops on ECR that I shot when moving around in car. 

Yearly ones

The cold at the beginning of this season or festival troubles me throughout and even now, the week going on swallowing pills is still to cure. There wasn’t much celebration at home and television bores its best wasn’t interest to do anything within tiresome feeling, but the light and sound want me get out, wander around in cold looking for fireworks performed. It was usual explosion of light and colors, disappointing my cousin with no more sound crackers brought and we headed to suburb as it was limitless excitement overall sky and nonstop explosion from every side. Electric Lights were decorated our apartment and children played with fire and little excitements rollover, the smiles and sweets were shared by neighbors the hardly and only time they are. Everyone at home healing with cold, even though gave me there support on deepavali celebration, getting me to granny’s resident in were in open space and safe locality we make firecrackers explosion. The streets that didn’t silence few seconds in lighting crackers, the fireworks comes explosive continuously make me less focus with camera than looking around. Something strange the views of people on me watching the open sky for less than two days at night, could not get what signal they got, but I still watching nights return yearly one or two. Below are few pictures on deepavali:

Skywatch Friday: Aerial Fireworks

During Deepavali I had wonderful time watching fireworks that repeatedly showed up in the sky from evening to night, from various angles it boomed the sky in dazzling light and colours which kept me active on phone as I have no idea from which direction a firework would light up, I was awake to capture some of the amazing displays. I initially used the camera in firework mode to shoot the same, but as many weren’t repeated kind I shifted to iPhone camera, which is quick at shot, helped me get some neat snaps alike here, from the balcony.

Deepavali this year wasn’t great to cherish or bad to critic, but went neutral where I couldn’t feel anything differenct; instead it was pretty bored for much part of the day as most programs on Television weren’t amusing. And I haven’t watched it as well. Though Supreme Court has set time limit of 8-10pm, which was altered by the state govt. as an hour in morning and night to light fireworks, there were crackers sound from morning to night but that particular time period, Chennai was at its high – the time where we also light some fireworks and joined the smoky eve hehe… it’s been years I have stopped buying noise crackers and also conscious purchasing less smoking fireworks last few years.

Obviously, this year the noise and smoke level was very low compared to former years. Thanks to the hard rule by Supreme Court, that forced people to either give up or control bursting crackers results in only bit rise on pollution level. But to my surprise, when I checked the weather app today, three day after Diwali, the air quality is poorer than what showed on Diwali. I wonder is it perhaps it was national holiday that day, with less vehicle and factory pollution the air quality should have shown better that what bursting crackers created. Huh!

Linking this post with Skywatch Friday

Sweet Deepavali

Deepavali is near; we can hear the bomb sounds in every corner in the evenings and night. Every shopping malls are fully occupied by peoples wave, the shoppers went to the high of discounts, the television are full of cloths and domestic thing AD’s. People started greeting there loved ones, even we also started to greet each other’s. Cinema fans are advancing booking to their favorite movies; the television channels are in front to give us different programs. As the festival was in weekends there must be much plans how to celebrate the diwali. I too have decided to visit the beach a night before the diwali to watch the firework on the sky. This is the first time I am going to celebrate diwali in a flat, let me see if some neighbor people will also join with us!

I like to recall my childhood memories of diwali, think I was in UKG or in 1st Std when I realize the diwali. I used to sit in front of the cycle and dad pedal me with him to the nearest cracker shop; it’s not a shop, a palm leaf tent where an old woman used to sale Clay pots, when ever I leave from school I used go inside the tent and come out on the other side to reach our street easily, she will not scold me, because mom will buy pot form her. Dad buys me only small crackers like flowerpot, changu charka, wire sparkles and needle crackers. I just carry the small cover happily to the home and used to arrange the crackers in our cupboard near my dress, mom used to warn me not to keep near the cloths, but who hear her, At least 5 to 6 times I will arrange the crackers every day. Those days I don’t have any friend’s or brothers (my bro was 1 year old that time), so no one to fight with me to pick the crackers from me.

In the morning dad used to nip the wick of the cracker and one by one I will place it in a platform and fire it and go inside the house and close my ears. By closing my ears with the hand of cracker’s medicine, my ears will be turned into black. In evening mom lit a lamp out side near the front door, I used to burn the wire sparkles one by one and rotate to see the design. I really fear to fire the flowerpots and chackra, I just enjoy watching form a distance, when dad fire. I allot some cracker from that and burst on the Karthikai Thipam. This year I have planed to avoid over sound crackers, and buy colorful fireworks, which bring much lighter to the night. My hear full Diwali wishes to every one. (will be update after diwali....)

When I study in school every year he will come to my home on Deepavali day to help me burst crackers. They will not celebrate Deevali because he is Christian. Every year on Deepavali I will remember her and I hear any cracker sound I will remember him. And I also like to tell about that girl who studied with me from 6th. She also help me on that time.

I will tell u tomorrow about her…

Nenga yellam ninaikalam yennada yeva yetha poi yeluthirukuran. anna yennaku ithu than Happiest movement in my life maraka mudiyatha.
