Good to Feel Half Clean

With his paws spread wide and taking a step up on to a cup of tea, this little piggy tries desperately hard to make himself big and strong. But there's nothing getting away from the fact that he is still no bigger than a tea cup.

Fun mugs with animal noses on the base. It seems like a normal white mug until you use it.

Children attend class at the Dongzhong (literally meaning "in cave") primary school at a Miao village in Ziyun county, southwest China's Guizhou province. The school is built in a huge, aircraft hangar-sized natural cave, carved out of a mountain over thousands of years by wind, water and seismic shifts. more here

Typically the shark is going so fast that it shoots out the sea as it bites the seal mid-body with its 3,000 razor-sharp teeth. Attacks rarely happen when the seal is underwater as it is too agile. But on the surface it has only one way to go down exactly where the shark is coming from.

Why 3000 chicks crossed the road, brought the traffic to a standstill on a busy road near Glasgow?

Cartoons and kids

Today with easy available of cartoon channels kids has good time pass from studying stress and in between going to school, but every kids are only watch cartoons is what not, because of spreading cinema and it related programs they caught by attention. I was to read some views on metro plus about cartoons and kids. Everyone had some positive things to tell like cartoon develop kids knowledge on history, culture, mythology… and makes them learn more and remember what they learnt, there vocabulary improves and a lot and also negative things like violent cartoon scenes changes their mind and behavior and general things like affecting the vision. There are many good cartoons that liked without age difference for example Tom and Jerry, Donald duck, Popeye but these happen to be older and rare to watch them these days.

Cartoons do a quite works for home kids, where parents get relief for sometime in care taking them. Today cartoon channels have been present in all languages, and it also solves the language problem to kids. My uncle’s one year kid in one in this category, where he loves to watch cartoons and his favorite is Bumba on Chutti Tv. He just lies down in his bed and starts to laugh and enjoy watching. When making to know what was there in this program to interest him, it has become one of my favorite shows now. Another thing that makes interest me to watching cartoon channel is the information that explains the history, scientific experience and life time of scientist and different cultures in understand method. When I try to convince my cousins to know some specific programs on cartoon channels, they replay me these are bore and need some movie, songs.

Those days the only cartoon interest us was the Moogly, it would be telecasted on Sunday morning in Doordharshan and another one was super Heman Samurai on every Thursday evening. When leaving to 6th we brought the cable channels and it has 24 hours of Cartoon channel and later after leaving school me and bro have to spend some times on watching and never understand what they talk and just find the story as it moves, but today there was no language problem and with good English, kids pickup easily. Except the cartoon, there are some other children’s channel like Pogo and Jetix. The Jetix have the more violence action programs and also little glam I feel. Where the actions were taken by children into practice with their mates, I visible them directly through by cousins when they use that actions in between the kindle fights with others. The elders have to aware them what is good to take and what to leave; I realize there is many to learn from cartoon channels and cute things to admire.

Cross marriage

Our people always have come with reason to tell for their superstition. In rural village sides they call donkey marriage, when they organize a wedding between a male and female donkey, where they hope it will bring rain, after that it was frog wedding and every village has their own way for superstition, according to some tradition. Here the reason is different in Selakumar and Selvi’s marriage, actually it’s a kalappu tirumanan (mixed marrage).

Selvakumar, a 34 year old farmer from Tamil Nadu’s Sivagangai district have been stoned to dead two dogs in his rice field and hang them on a tree some 15 years ago and felt unfortunate. He was clueless when he later disabled from hearing, speaking and walking, but where he find an astrologer he told him he was cursed by the spirits of the dogs he had killed and to curse only if he marry a dog and live with it. Then, after a long search he found his pair selvi a four-year-old mongrel bitch and the wedding took place at a Hindu temple. Where Selvi was dressed in sari and flowers and brought to temple and the proceeding where held with a priest before cheering crowds.

The poor selvi was however attempted to escape from them, but was eventually traced down and returned to her new husband. But safely this dog is only for lifting the curse and after that he plans to get a real bride. BBC News

Early Sunday

Children playing on the seashore sand
and also playing on the seashore road
on the morning time, mind change
went in find to sea at early.

Here and there kept standing and
playing cricket, where crowd rise without down
throwing walking, a little relaxation
there and allover by our people.

With little drizzling and chillness zephyr
where new sense blows on my face
a soothing surrounding omnipresent
losing the expectation, and
gaining a new experience on this day
is a happy Sunday.

Mountain and Children

"A son and his father were walking on the mountains.
Suddenly, his son falls, hurts himself and screams: "AAAhhhhhhhhhhh!!!"
To his surprise, he hears the voice repeating, somewhere in the mountain: "AAAhhhhhhhhhhh!!!"
Curious, he yells: "Who are you?"
He receives the answer: "Who are you?"
And then he screams to the mountain: "I admire you!"
The voice answers: "I admire you!"
Angered at the response, he screams: "Coward!"
He receives the answer: "Coward!"
He looks to his father and asks: "What's going on?"
The father smiles and says: "My son, pay attention."
Again the man screams: "You are a champion!"
The voice answers: "You are a champion!"
The boy is surprised, but does not understand.
Then the father explains: "People call this ECHO, but really this is LIFE.
It gives you back everything you say or do.
Our life is simply a reflection of our actions.
If you want more love in the world, create more love in your heart.
If you want more competence in your team, improve your competence.
This relationship applies to everything, in all aspects of life;
Life will give you back everything you have given to it."

YOUR LIFE IS NOT A COINCIDENCE. IT'S A REFLECTION OF YOU!"
-- Unknown Author

Children's are like Echo, they are reflections of elders and parents. What it should be sound is in ours, to close the ears or allowing to listen. Children must be the rhythm to swing and not noisy to disconcert.

Happy Children’s Day

Today song from Satham Podaathay, very cure and sweets as well my recent favorite. Whoever watches this song would forgive anything and put pleasuring the movement.

(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:

Partaking deepavali


Deepavali is everyone’s favorite festival. We all look for that day comes in a year. There were many stories told to celebrate this festival, but this is a festival were we celebrate happily, joining with family, friends, neighbors without seeing where they belong to. Its festival of lights to burn in our lives and wishing all bright fullness, goodness to spreads. What the main attracts about this event is crackers and bursting sounds; we can’t obligate that from our thoughts, but what it was reducing is also true. No one there will be without enjoying fireworks, amazing on seeing beautiful colors coming out from it, kids holding the color matches witsmiles like the twinkles from it, where the night sky flashes with different colors and shapes of fireworks doing magic is an wonderful sight for all without age difference. At this movement we also need to understand the problems that create by fireworks. I feel the first problem was cleared; that was using child labor in making crackers. Conspicuously it was aware by the labels in fireworks where “no child labors involved”. What next is pollution of air and noise. Fireworks hold various chemical to bring colors and lights to make us happy and also release the smoke that injures to health and rising noised that are against animals and sick patient.

Even though we can’t fully stop this, and the happiness of seeing fireworks magic. But can reduce it. For this we need unity in celebration. Instead of just bursting at all corners and outside our gateway, we can bring people in crowd at a specific place or our streets, colony and apartment resides to gather 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 the real meaning of the festival is burning lamps, Deepavali. But many of us not following it, It’s in our tradition of lightning the earthen lamps and we could see it on the upcoming full moon day after the diwali. Actually is adds beauty to this particular festival of lights where the whole home brighten in yellow the auspicious time.

How could be with out a sweetness for a festival that brings happiness to all. Many of us (including we) prepare and using from long back of making our own sweets Athirasam, the traditional South Indian sweet and distribute to relatives and neighbors. But the shops todays are coming out in making new designs of sweets with vary taste that attracts people to buy on diwlai. The breakfast and lunch we have on the day would be very special with varies dishes from pongal, idly sambar...
what we really never forget is the new cloths, even we fail, the attractive advertisement on television by forefront shops could create a wish in us. It starts from a month before and it was not new nowadays where all festivals have some special ads on TV for people. These days it was beautiful advertisements by models, bringing stylish and traditional costumes those sure make girls to try them at this time and we boys just enjoy the mood of seeing them.

This time the festival at Thursday and next day Friday would be mostly off from schools, works and weekend coming. I hope there will be great entertainment and enjoyment on diwali holidays, and SMS, greetings, emails would be flying to loved ones and I sure myself do not forget to wish this movement some of our friends who are going to celebrate ‘thalai deepavali ` (first deepavali after marriage) I hope they come this side to get my greeting too. Happiness for u all, enjoy :)

To bring back

Distance is not that much, your heart`s
awe taking you away from me
I know the awful distance maintained,
I homologate whatever reason u must tell.
Unconditional innocent fancy never ever
adjusted to the reality, continue to exist.
I can`t assure breezing throughout your life
and that stop me expressing the right

Upcoming are celebration times, I miss you
and wish you to bring memorable times
months gone, I met you last, still thinking
wherever the name breaks in relation
these are merely avoidable in life, where
the same days of colors flows allover, and
frustrate stands along in experience

the brass lamp of our family
glows the festival of lights, brighter
more in your flowing smiles, and
the rejoice of lightening glister crackers.
Those movements are not away, if world
thinks about your desire of living, before
the vivid belief dim lighten forever… …..

Mobiles only outside campus

In last years the topic of using mobiles in collage raises, with some misuse many universities come to pass order on banning it esp. those with camera. Now the state government on its way to ban cell phones use in schools, which was in fore by school officials already. For using and none using the students, parents and teachers tells varies reasons, but to correct the recent change in life that some end in misuse, the necessary on ban is must in preliminary warning. Except misuse, the mobile disturbs student’s studies while always smsing and playing games the mind diffuse to concentrate on subjects. If students can afford a mobiles, it won’t surprise if teachers own, but they need to be paragon to others avoiding mobiles in class hours or leave it at staff rooms.

There where times when students bring hand video games, trump cards to school hiding inside there bags and play while class was running and in brake times. Then caught by teachers and struggle to get back the thing or pay fine. Haven’t there days moved without cell phones, students never left home without it, no tuition, special class or extra-curricular activities went. Then why we want students to get confused with cell today. Technological gadgets are useful in many way, we have to see what’s necessary at the time and aware of both positive and negative sides of it. I was trying some online games for my cousin in his holidays, keeping him at my side. When he sees something colorful with cars, funny ads, graphic games he just want to check them; I don’t know how to make him understand his innocent on net. Who know what’s behind a click, where it goes. Some ads giving a sign of wrong thing that some may go to abuse sites, it was shocking to know the online games has vulgar characters. I don’t know why I am telling this, but like this some students not aware of another side of cell phones. There are many infringer minds out there without our knowledge; those hands may pull them to land in difference that’s very strange.

In my schools days the cell phone haven’t reach that much, and where not even allowed to tie watch and allowed only from higher class. If any urgent call have to made, with the help of school staffs we can do it. If parents comes late to pickup or any other changes in routine of school time teachers used to call our home from office telephone to contact parents. We feel like being in safe hand till leaving school campus. Ones they practiced with mobiles, they addicted to it, wanted to connect with friends always. Even today’s kids want cell phones; they know everything where elders learn from them. Phones with cam are like adding sugar to taste, it go around through good, bad pics scenes for fun. There was a question only for some doing wrong thing with phone why should it affect others using usefully. School is something pubic to all, just giving excuses to one or two will bring difference in unity, whatever needed must be followed with teachers and officials alone.

The excite of…

Days fully wetted flooded, where sun
in leave on sunday, monday
get off anytime, the unity of drops
are protesting in supporting our students
hot coffee to warm the energy, even
still feeling chillness lazily inside.

Distance covers by eyes, lesser
to the human movement less
without any day today, experiencing
the loneliness of sweetness
departed from human breath , natures
abode throughout happen in happiness.

Now and then, immersing the bank
standing sea rain water without kids to stand
staying in distress, whom the hell
the rain wants to come now, why not you
kids sing a song, rain rain go away
come again another day we kids want to play.

Season (re)turn

Fortuitous season comes down
my doors and windows are open
to new monsoon breeze to enter
to recapture mood in delightful, way
I liked the morning drizzling
the white dark clouds, sun shines
in intervals of the season

Parrot, crow, browned birdies
orange, yellow butterflies
they flies near my place
more greener than before breakdown
growing assertively after human victory
the plants rise from my daily sight

What a feel, freshly fills the will
harder thunders try to stop
this is the time to walk
waters stayed in streets, step down
I will play in streets, which could stop
I am not the only person in this stop

**Current song is Love at sight. It was the situation of the song, a sweetest music.

Beautiful Tamil son (a short glance)

Weekly there would be an audio release of some films, but sometimes only their were huge fans waiting(like me) and that album was expected in a manner. Azhagiya Tamilzh Magan is the year’s best songs holder. Curious is the Vijay, Rahman combination to a beautifully named film where listeners can sing for sure. It’s A.R.Rahman’s second attempt in Tamil this year, after the grand success of Shivaji. After listing the album I felt the release must be done near pongal times where it has something related to Tamils famous and traditions. This film has VIJAY and SHRIYA as Tamil magan and magal (hero and heroine). Here we look short things about the album.

Ellappugazhum… an unusual open song for Vijay. "Munnal Munnal vaada unnal Mudiyum thozhaa (Come forward, you can do it friend); Ellapugazum oruvankea ne nathipola odikonderu (all praise are for one, u just run continuously like river); anbu thalaiva vetri nameke azhagiya tamil magan neethane (dear leader, victory for us, you are the beautiful tamil son)" where some inspiring lines from Vaali is a attracting song for the film. Rahman singed it, where it was the vaali`s song he is singed after New York nagaram and Athiradi kaaran. Especially this song doesn’t carry the useless and stupid lyrics what disappoint in all Vijay’s intro song.

Ponmagal Vandaal... is an remix, but I feel its recreation. Because only taking the lyrics, they used a fabulous vocal from aslam a new singer. I kept listening to his section much and the rap track in between was too good, if it comes alone could well attract, but I feel it didn’t combine with the super hit classic. I like more the beats behind the classic ponmagal vandal porul codi thanthaal….

There are some stylish lyrics by na.muthukumar! in Nee Marilyn Monroe cloning ha…. Jenifer lopes Oda scanning’a... In first time listening itself we can guess it`s a hot song by actress namitha and I thought it was sung by rahman through the song trailer in some place, but really it was singed by benny dayal and ujjayinee, a rocking voice. More cool and colorful the lines came out where it goes like ”Can u come as my girlfriend for a day, Saturday night, can we go to a party are u coming; women’s are the cricket, men`s are the wicket.”

To add beauty to the album Valayappatti tavilla... has a traditional touch. It’s totally opposite to nee Marilyn Monroe... from na.muthukumar. "Nee nathaswaram pola vantha navikkamalam nana, nee yealu swaram pola vantha etta swaram nana...; un kangal erandum kalyani,un sirippo sindhu bhairavi ..." it fully mixes with varies instruments and classic ragas. Vocal is simple excellent Naresh Iyer, madhumitha makes the song adorable. "Peasumbothea chillunuthea unga Oru enna Cherrapunjiya, Nee nerungum pothea current earuthea unga Oru Kalpakkama, nee harmoniya kattaiemma, en hormone seaiethu seataiemma…" those are some lifts the song.

Kelamal kaiyile… in Thamarai lyrics and by Sriram parthasarathy, saindhavi’s voice. It somehow sound like a familiar old song was remixed. Saindhavi sounds sweet in some places, where she improved well from Andankakka and Ippo ilatti eppo. "Malugai melugai naan irunthean, miga ealithai en mun nadanthean indru unnai nenjil sumantheana naan nadanthean nadanthathum vilunthean , Kunthal ennum yeani yeari mutham mida asaigal undu…" an affection on these lines, but so speed to catch.

Maduraiku Pogadhadi... the lyrics of pa.vijay start with praising Shriya. Beginning with the city of growing Tamil, where the lines go like "Maduraiku Pogadhadi anga Mallippoo kanavaikum (don’t go to Madurai, where jasmines may put eyes); Thanjavur Pogadhadi Thalayatum Bommai Nikkum(don’t go to Tanjavur, where head shaking dolls will stand); enkum pogamatten un munnalathan nipen munnal vanthu nenu en kanala sokka vaipen (I won’t go any where, will stand before you, stand and faint you with my eyes)." Really a wonderful folk song! I don’t, but it was the first song I used to listen in the whole album. I think it must be a welcome song for the newly marred hero and heroine. About the singers, I feel enthusiastic in there performance. It was benny dayal, archith, dharshana very new arrival with beautiful voices.

Festival therefore

Those days or some years back, I used to wait for the day Ayutha puja, which was earlier to Vijayadashami. It would be something fun filled day; we start to look for the preparation of the festival a couple of days before in our uncle’s mechanical shop. It’s since 1991 our uncle own a Maruti mechanical shop below in the grown floor of our resident in which I lived two years back. To becoming weaker in health it wasn’t possible to participate in the cleaning, decorating and chatting with workers whom where my friends on the sleepless night. For over last 7 years and after my uncle pass away I did not (actually couldn’t) present at the movement of celebration where all my family people get down to worship and give sweets, fried grain(pori) to workers, but I was spending inside home or standing on the balcony.

This time I was able to attend the Ayudha puja at workshop. They where painted, decorate with color papers, flowers for vehicles, banana tree and festoon tied, but even though it wasn’t bright, some feel of missing in happiness. It was wheel chair that takes me around, I helped myself to meet some of my worker friends, some of them are absent where they are left the job. Keeping my uncle photo with tools and god photos, all showed burning camphor and prayed, where grandpa give away the sweets, fried grains and invigorate sum to the workers that could make them enthusiasm. I was stayed the day at the workshop, spending with cousins, aunties, staying with memories, eating much ice-cream, playing with balloons, loveable kids everything would stay along till for long. Actually it was celebrated simple after my uncle’s loss, but it was an opportunity to get together for this festival after some long time.

It was the night before my grandma went into so sick and fainted because of low sugar. It was good time we admitted her in hospital before anything series, the next day she was brought to normal and doing well now. I am very busy these days in finishing my work, as I was look for a new home based job and we were in enquiring which could suit me. The weather was supposed to get in touch with monsoon and it was kept tomorrow, day after tomorrow by metrologies. Last day it was cool, clouds surrounded and it was drizzling from morning that I feel a sign of monsoon arrive. Just too visible the movement of the Ayudha puja, here are some pictures from my cam:

Learned Tamil (must see)

A person’s anger on society and himself is a line story of Learned Tamil (Kattradhu Tamil). Much of the life of Prabakar(Jeeva’s character name) was told in flashback to a media’s camera, then was to be followed. In the name itself we can understand this is a film about Tamil’s stand in today’s world, where the character was made to be in love on Tamil who took a carrier in Tamil language. Strike again strike in his life, in where he was emotionally hurt by then uncontrollable of his emotions makes he so harsh. The harsh person has a soft side in; it was her childhood sweetheart Anandi. It was a girl who may comes across in a life, everyone’s life a feel between love and friend. The acting was to be praised; there was a scene where waiting to get her father body from mortuary is innate and the continuing faces are loveable as well tiredness.

In this film the hero not talked, his character spoken, then u may know the actor’s performance. The small age prabakar was done fantastic acting; this small boy carries the fear in eyes, love in heart. His practice with Tamil teacher, and the continue of the song Para para pattaampoochi… get an envy that we dint get a teacher like him, the whole thing of that was like flying butterflies. Music by Yuvan has little shadow of Raam’s feel, but the picturesque are new to eyes. The dance on the foot level water in river, the landslide of droughty hills and the ride on curve roads, the breezy green hill top are break giving (a brake from usual). If you smile ones, it’s the meaning of my life… I adore this song and lines, the happiness in small movements. The Director Ram has come to tell in emotion the love, error and practice of living. The accident scene is one that taken from real life of hitting the standing vehicle that we hear often.

I concern the concept more in the character’s distress where the computer related graduates gain more money and value in society and other fields of Tamil, History, (Agriculture is too my opinion) are looked value less. The film describes the disgrace on a Tamil educator who takes it on his wish against that high scored must do only engineering and medical. And what about the low grade students and who lack to support higher studies doing today are running behind values. I am not going to support the attack on the specific area of computers, call centers or anything, but the truth is those areas are more valued in world other than a degree holder. Where one of my friend finished B.sc last year in a poor situation of his family and looked for the job on his education to lift the family, who was also do computer better was forced to work in a vest and brief garment factory in Tirupur.

I am not truly agreed on the concept that computers are only developed area, but computers occupied on every area, the technology well prepared for every one to use. What ever we say, the money values more than the wish. I was put on thought on my area of agriculture, where most of today’s computer fields like, IT, BPO, Call Centers, Engineering collages are on the lands of agriculture, for today’s value we lose the future value. And the film has a side of slope is, getting anger on the impossibility. I feel it’s a bad signal for society, because every ones life was decided by their own desire and none pushes. It was a subject that we are not like others, enjoying the life on multi complex, cellular, flying aboard earning more… it was the mental attitude that one experience of getting no respect and price for a degree course. I feel the people select there field not on the wish, but on the value. Once there was the time where working in government had a value and states, but today software engineer has a value in specific. I am not talking against the IT’s, but we need all areas to be specific. I remember that line, “only one part of our body grows is not the growth, it should be on whole body.” I don’t know how the director left the real estate area that is more money flowing place…

Way to go...

I missed to wish my new physiotherapist on his second visit on Sunday that was his birthday. I met him on Saturday at home, where he tested and inquired about my medical reports to make aware before giving treatments. He is a graduate in naturopathy and was practicing in hospitals for over six months. When in search of a therapist we was introducing from our neighbor grandpa to offer him, who was the son of our street Ganesh temple’s priest. Dad and the priest well knew for a year some, in a talk we know his son was a therapist without knowing any other information, where the time our neighbor grandpa was close to the priest and urged him to do therapy for me. Except physiotherapy, he want me take the naturopathy treatment too, where it will support more in addiction to therapy. He gave me mild exercise yesterday with acupressure and he was to increase step-by-step. It was bored at evening, mom and me was decided to step out to have my ride at wheels, though near the gate found our therapist arrive and turned to home. Coming to the miss to wish is, I don’t know it was his birthday, but I came to know from his cellular speech to someone. I was in pause to wish or not, whether he may mistake me watching his phone conversation.

It was an expected end of a program Ooh la la la... (the new magic of music) in Sun TV. I was watching this program from the beginning, each performance would feel enjoyable. Enthusiastic of the music reaches high, the vocal, instruments and allover the equal importance of each player is behind the excitement. I sit to guess with performance who would win, but it was calculated in deep I think, so much time what I feel would go reverse. The best part of this program was at finals, where the performance before AR.Rahman was wonderful. There was a hard work on each team, I was in excite to know whom the finalities to have the chance of doing album in rahman’s studio, but surprisingly Rahman done extraordinary by selecting all six bands. In the entire bands I like the Zinx, V3 & Oxygen’s performance. Zinx they are in full energetic, the vocal and instruments mixes well for the songs. I must have to tell about this girl Zinx Sandhiya’s delighted voice and face expressing, it’s pleasing. Her last song Neatru Illatha mattram was superb. There was a guy in the V3 I think not sure, giving his full energy to bring out, if he little bit reduce his stress that would be finer. I just don’t want this program to end here… it was remarkable, having seen singers program but new for a band performance.

If it was possible for this, their would be also possibilities to bring the rural musicals to light for the world. Every time I have this thought when seeing the more film shadow of music programs. Sure it will be a new and unusual if they conduct a search for the best of our Indian and importantly Tamil rural folk performance. The dying art must also be encouraged where it glanced little lightning from people. By the way today is our Rocket man’s birthday, guessed right na. Yes its our former President of India A.P.J. Abdul Kalam’s B’day. Wish he lives longer, healthier to guide our India on develop path.

Mission on Space

It was the last Thursday (Oct4.) when it was fifty years ago, the later ten years after India’s independence; even most of us today wouldn’t born, the tick sound of countdown across the world awake to this globe shaped Sputnik. The first step in the space history, science and technology and the everyday usage of humans, the first artificial satellite Sputnik launched on space by the then Soviet Union on October 4, 1957. Visible out of this world gravity, climbing in the atmosphere and into the orbit, it crosses the first-foot into a new point of human experience.

It was the time of fear and division in which the two power nations the Soviet Union and the US stared each other down in a threat of mass destruction at Cold War. Sputnik altered the nature and scope of the Cold war. A simple sphere weighting just 83kg and0.6 meter wide, it had a highly shiny surface of aluminium, the better to reflect sunlight and be visible from earth. Two radio transmitters with antennas starts sending signals frequently that the scientists could pick up and so confirm the achievement. The Russians clearly intended Sputnik as a statement of their technological brave and its military implications. But even they, it seems, had not foreseen the frenzied response their success provoked.

At that time the junior senator from Massachusetts John F.Kennedy with no particular interest in space and unheralded Russian Pilot Yuri A. Gagarin, the record setter for the fastest transcontinental jet fighter from New York to Los Angeles and the marine corps pilot John H.Glenn Jr with Neil A. Armstrong who was testing high performance aircraft in the California desert couldn’t think their lives were to change soon as were there are thousands of technicians, engineers everywhere. The Apollo 8 astronauts were the first to circle the moon in December 1968 where they had a very pleasant watch of earth with blue and green under swirls of clouds. It was a great gift for them at the time of confusion and despair in the year of rioting cities and a war.

Then it was Apollo 11 on July 20, 1969, Armstrong stepped down from the landing craft’s ladder and took a great leap where Aldrin joined him for the first walk on the moon. In the contrast of explorations, the world watching on television. By the end of 1972, the last of the 12 men to walk on the moon packed up and returned home. Since the landing on the moon, the Americans and Russians craft have explored Venus and US vehicles has landed on Mars for much times and a European capsule reached the surfaces of Saturn’s moon titan. The Voyager spacecraft are now approaching the edge of the solar system and the Hubble Space Telescope still sends images from deep in cosmic time.

Now where in India, the Indian space men’s are planning a manned mission to orbit the moon in 2015 after seven years of Chandrayaan-1 that would blast off on India’s first moon mission next month and Chandrayaan-2 in 2010.

Be away and see they live

Humans and animals are the lives that shares earth equally; somewhere human population is less than animals both in the land and water. Human is also an animal who could thing and act and felt to understand, even thought some animals do and not that like humans. What human do is he tries to take over animals place and there life for his life to move. Today it stands for where the animal’s population is dropping and the cruelty acts on them increases. While celebrating the World animals week from October 4 – 10, its time for every one to think about animals, there security, the changes on living and support to stop the activates against them, esp. from humans. Who won’t like pet animals the cat dog… in animals too there are rich and stray dogs, where the rich ones were brought from shelters, but there would lots of dogs wandering on the streets with no care at all, even they die. We can’t blame people for this, but this can be solved with the support of people with NGO’s and govt.

Coming to our state Tamil nadu we hold a traditional festival of jalikattu (bull catch), where hundreds of people crowded to catch the bulls to show there heroism and get money. When this was conducted the bulls were sent to hard stress by the owners and catches where they put their whole strength to stop bulls by beating and pulling their tails. Traditions should taught good for the generations, not the cruel and harm history, nothing wrong in leaving that tradition that violate the kind.

Sanctuaries are where we could learn about animals alive, where today most of us see them behind the cages at Zoo. What matters is how we behave. What we practice always comes out automatically and it damages the lives of animals. One thing we must keep in mind is not to throw any artificial things on the sanctuaries or at animals. These activates create pollution threat to the nature and as well animals, where in case that would be a plastic, could harm the animals health and the colorful things attracts them mistakenly as food.

We know forest is the free place with no rules for animals, live like how the nature made them, but we stop them and force rules for our comfort. We hear news’s often where the animals enter village and threaten people, destroy fields and banana groves. Are we sure they enter our place or we entered there’s. Tiger, lion, elephants are dangers animals for us, only we both meet. They are not coming in search of us, only we human go and disturb and create problem for them and human. Taking survey yearly once or for years once is not going to do with increasing or reducing the animals, there must be proper action take place. If we not even take any action, it could handle there life itself if we don`t disturb them.

This is an important problem leading for years is the poaching animals. Where in India the tigers, lions, musk deer’s and elephants where most hutted illegally by gangs for there skins, bones for cosmetic, medicines, food and elephants tusk for ivory. Most of the poaching happens in pointing the southeastern countries where the people use more animal’s organs. Nowadays these animals have been found little in forests where in some forest there species itself lost. Recent a study in one of the forest in south Tamil nadu famous for tigers made a report it has no tigers. Sea hunting the global problem carries different aims, one to catch fishes for food that in the limited sea area and on what to catch, but illegal hunting take place somewhere that kills species for money. How they hunt them shocks actually where most are whales and dolphins. You can get some ten ways to make the world better for animals here.

I could find news for last two days on animals security and how far the animals where affected and what media was doing is really good, but it should not stopped by the end of the week. Today most of us watch television and almost every one own a TV at home in India and the media plays an important role in aware of people, where if they give little space for the animals need and what unnecessary from people could improve the situation.

Great brothers


“Don’t leave any terrorist to escape” these are the last words said by the major D.R.Raman of Chennai who lose his life in the gun-battle with terrorists at Tangmarg area of North Kashmir on third October. Another army major K.P. Vinay was also died in the battle. D.R.Raman and K.P.Vinay are friends from the time of learning in Army campus and working so close in army. The didn’t die just to die, they destroyed nine terrorist before falling; that too Raman lost life went to save his injured friend. It’s the fire between terrorist and army; actually it’s the love between Vinay and Raman that took away both of them at same from us. Vinay was to be a bride-groom this month end and he was distributing the invitation to all till before the day he was killed and Raman was newly wed and was to hold a child in few months.

I was touched by this when knowing through paper. We not even know there face, they may be one in the thousands, but they lost there life for our security. When I was thinking, I felt they are very special to us, as any one would really be ready to leave there life for others, but what they did for country is a best service in all. Even at the stage of fighting for life, Raman has encourages his other colleagues showing his hand to the winning mark and voiced in brave do not leave any one. The loss is not for there family or for Kashmir, its nation’s loss. The every step by soldiers at every corner of the boarders and inland is prevention for big happening strikes for our lives. A true sacrifice for them to there mother country, we keep on saluting and respecting their unexpected and reasoned loss.

The four day account

Some movements on last four day with weekend went fine for me; hope u all had a wonderful time too. Day one had to experience a delight evening, where a plan whether to go or not to the beach and at last went to the shore that was empty. The cyclone situation above and over the bay of Bengal, where the deep dark clouds surrounds and wishing for a heavy pore, that only last for few minutes in heavy drops. It was not a normal Saturday beach where to sight the cricketers, children’s on sand with little walkers. Sometimes i wish for simple things like to have a walk holding the umbrella what dad had some walk on the evening. I was listing to radio one just feeling the weather; there was a fun program on live where the dialers gave opportunity to scold whom they want. It’s a good laugh for me and as well to mom sitting in back seat.

Sunday was to spent more times on entertainment box, the continue of programs the laziness to glance the news papers even though did to know whom are all was to participate in the Monday bandh. It clears that it will have 80% strike throughout state, but it didn’t extend, the afternoon flashes the bandh was canceled by Supreme Court and only hunger strike by ruling party. Though it was not arranged by government, the employs of govt. must to attend the office on oct 1 and dad was to go. There was no bus running, the stands without buses, where they put on strike individually and dad was dropped by brother. When I was looking, there was none, but surprisingly one of my cousin bro visited home on Monday, I was really felt happy for his visit. First I teased him, who are u, where have u come, mistakenly have u entered here instead of some other house?... but I have thanked at least now he thought to spent with me.

I distant all of my other works and make sure I haven’t lost interest him to spend with me. Both watched movies, played carom board, laughed, pass comments and enjoyed the movements. Had lunch and dinner, he slept beside me and both engaged with conversation till late night, played games on computer, browsed net and it was a day fully with him. Except weekend beach, nothing going out where our grandma was not well with health so I didn’t force dad to take me. I hope from the night of September that the October would be a good doing month and carry changes for me, as per what happening feels somehow satisfaction. My power wheels have some problems in moving so it creates little troubles the movement free. There is so much to type to finish the work and being away for last few days that stored more, so have to over spend time on it and couldn’t post or find time to visit many buddy’s blog. Want to share my days to know the dears here what happens. I apologies and would check u all soon.

# The last post that hold the Gandhi painting fills here continuously for three years on Gandhi’s Birthday. Thank you friends.

Piece from his dairy

Gandhi by Jeevan

As I was whizzing through the air yesterday
and looking at the trees,
I saw that beneath all the change
that these mighty trees daily underwent,
there was a little something that persisted
Every leaf has its own separate life
It drops and withers
But the tree lives on
-MahatmaGandhi

Gandhi has not written much about nature, music or drama. But in this diary we could read a letter he wrote to Kallenbach, his close friend in South Africa in which Gandhi talked about trees.

2+1+1 =

For them it’s a protest, for us it’s a happy holiday that connects four day with Oct 2 as Mahatma Gandhi B'day. For me every day is like holiday that’s usual, it was my dad who gets four days + today (that he took for some personal work) = five days leave. I was expecting to ask him take me somewhere, a long ride on the car out of city. I have planed to watch some movie that I want, this week I watched two films Unnale Unnale and Karuppasami Kuthakaikara both has a decent script. Yesterday there was a large thunder storms like stopping the heart beat. Most parts of the Chennai receive heavy rains and with hailstorm, how unlucky I couldn’t get the hailstorm in my area.

Those days the bandh means joy. We don’t know for which purpose the bandh is conducting and what is bandh means, but was threaten by elders that someone could throw stone on u, to avoid us going out. On the day we join with our friends, where all shops closed and roads without vehicles, we wander as free birds. Next to our house there are two shops (we call it nadaar kadai) which own big wooden cupboards outside the shop where they keep the chocolate bottles and some ropes for hanging bananas, so these are our play areas. We stand on the cupboards and swing in the ropes and for hide and seek its best times to hide under the cupboards. Talking continuously for hours sitting on the woods, collection empty cigarette boxes and folds it into square shape which we used to play with flat stones. These days bandh was not like we had, many children miss the day being always before PC & TV. Have nice time all :)

Ocean of Sethu

No need an introduction for what is happening in India, what brought every political comments without leaving a day in the headlines news. This is one of an example that development destroys the nature in my view. The Seathusamudram project that connects the Gulf of Mannar with Palk Bay that provide direct sea-way through Indian territorial water from eastern to western coast without circumnavigate Sri Lanka to reach another side. I always look that politics should work apart from religious, rich, poor to support the need for people, not like using the religion for the political stand. Let it be the Adam’s Bridge or Rama Setu (a chain of limestone shoals or 103 small patch reefs lying in a linear pattern with reef crest, sand clays and intermittent deep channels stretching for 48km and the depth varies from 3ft to 30ft between India and Srilankan water) which has varies believes that for hindu a land bridge built by Lord Rama to reach lanka to rescue wife sita from demon king ravana; Muslims belief of Adam, the first man used to reach Adam’s Peak in Sri Lanka where he left a giant footprint. Some Christians ascribe the footprint to St Thomas the apostle, while Buddhists assign it to the Buddha and some hindus in Lanka worship at as Lord Shiva’s and call the mountain Shivanolipatham malai. How many believes surround this bridge?

Except from beliefs there were continues oppose from diplomatic assertions from Sri Lanka, apprehensive admonitions from environmentalists and fishermen’s, the project moved on to process in 2005 after years of discussion within governments, from where the idea comes from Commander Taylor of India marines in 1860. For over 3 years the dredging was going on and the project near the end (bridge) came the problem from a political party of a religion who brought ban in Supreme Court to prevent destruction of the Rama Bridge that it was built by Lord Rama. Now the Court has to play whether to proceed or stop the project itself. Could this project be useful or not, we loss the natural formation the coral reefs that prevent us from the tsunami hitting the coast faster and with great force and also destruction of traditional fishing grounds.

There could be apprehensions on security, environment, resource exploitation… The safety of shipping and channel itself could be a major issue. There are chances, the Cyclones can take up the dredged sediments or an accident can block the channel for a long time in the chance of absence of quick clearing machineries. There is a good benefit for the Tuticorin-Colombo and secondary ports between Chennai-Nagappattinam. There was an expectation of employment for fishers and coastal people. The projection charges for piloting a ship through the channel may be Rs. 60 lack. The difference in money spent on fuel between the two routs is only Rs.7 lack and it also saves the distance and time of 254-424 nautical miles and 21-36 hours. The number of dredged channels are two of 89km with total length of 167km and proposed depth of 12 meters in a budget of Rs.2,427 crore.

Hot and sweet


Those are the same people who slap him(Dhoni) when India loss in the real World Cup, now the same people feeding laddu (sweet) to his poster for wining the 20/20 world cup. What a great culture we have developed, whatever shameful we can do, done and then how can u people celebrate this win won my players? Will the players accept the happiness fully; won’t your act come to there mind? There is nothing to get anger for team getting out from the game, because it’s a game no loss or gain for you or me when they win or loss. No top senior players like Sachin, Ganguly, dravid… it’s a assert win from younger team mates. Wish this energy continues in upcoming matches, try the best team India.

I don’t support those who looking forward for the India-Pakistan match in every series. Like how we see other countries, that’s how have to see the Pakistan too. The anger increases if India losses to Pak or Pak to India. I feel it’s wrong to bring the generation in a mood that Pakistan should be beaten always. We are looking when the two countries will move friendly and co-operate to peace in all critical areas. Then why the citizens create an enemy feel and frenzy on this partnership. The talented and energetic team will win, that’s not we are untalented, there will be rise and down in a game, so blaming others should be avoided.

Mind & Time

It should express out or not, but I want to tell the state of mind was in disturbed itself. I don’t know how to start of how truly I feeling and the thoughts come. Just thinking could this place can fill the hard words of mine, we need a gateway to exist and it was to be your mates shoulder it console more. Loneliness and helpless plays very important now and then, where I couldn’t expect above my parents. I really what to be a person who was trouble free for others, I try to understand the situation and forgive my wishes, craves ect... but I was struck by a question, for how long. It’s easy to tell to leave it and see your business, but for true love these words don’t comfort, it still looks over and over. I ask myself what credential I have to look for others, just having a quality of only human being that too not normal being, what would attract them to make share and also what they gain. My dears telling its bore to be with me, I want to know what are they telling me a bore person or in how I treat those bores. In which way I should satisfy them are they expecting, without knowing what to tell, than maintaining silence to save my courtesy. I always look for the holidays of my cousins where I come to free mind just only spending with them, playing, going out chatting… it hurts to hear them feeling bore to be here.

Mind today thinks so much, and things changes times to time. I am in a situation of couldn't express my thoughts and disagree on what I feel in open mind. As I said above, the credential hesitates me here more, when trying to disclose my thoughts or an advice to any other in open. I was put in suffer more times when attempt tell something, if someone could comes in what you have the quality to comment. Whatever trouble it shoots, the creator never tries to break or throw the hard and energy he spends to create a thing. Like that my parents, they listen to whatever I throw in words if they like it or not, won’t stop or close the doors even though they don’t accept, but I can’t make the words die between us. So I like to express the same through others, but it was not even heard and instead it was tried to hide through there words.

Time really matters more in my life nowadays. How it would be little drops for a monsoon would lack to support water, like that for the little work the time takes more. Particularly the half an hour work takes an hour or more for me to finish compare to a normal person. Just not to say, I experiencing it nowadays the more the hard I face with hands. I know the activities would be reducing to slow in everything that was the reason for the over time, and many complaints follow within the time taking to spent on routine activates and it also affect the blogging time too. I go through the despondent of my impossibility for every small loss and the disturb I have to make. I blow, blow and blow, in dark no one notices. It was torched in light here. If there was none to listen, I would be in mentally disorder, thanks you all for listening to what ever I tell.

## Current song from Tamil film May matham, Minnalea nee vandhadhaenadi... how beautiful the lines are, SPB`s voice touches the feel.

Unrest students

After crossing the age of teen, students thinking themselves they are more matured to handle anything on their own. Because of this thought and activities how many problems they have to face and they also not even knowing how many are affecting by this. It’s good for them to handle any sort of fact if it was for good cause; but if they engaged with any problem with in themselves or with others; the peace process would never take place, instead of facing with anger. This is what something happening with some students and with institutes they study. It was not new for collages and institutions, that problems happening for years that involved by students, but a good solution to stop students making problems must be thought.

I am only telling about some. Destroying the public and institution properties in the clashes between students and sometime even against the institute rules and officials is happening now and then. These happen in the anger and tell the students are young blood to get more anger on simple problem; why this happen when other like them are not behaving worst. When they enter some problem, they look for not forgive the self-esteem and strength before others and get sudden anger for everything, without knowing any indirect and direct affect that create. Are they behaving like educated young’s are the road side rowdies, even some rich and strong background student’s brought the rowdies in support for the fight. I want to know what the schools teach them for over ten years before they enter the collage, its not there response to build a good character in them. But see what they learn in school couldn’t help to face other problems than studies and on carrier.

Parents are the souls disturbed mentally because of there children’s activities on their campus. Which parents would satisfy if there child was suspend or dismissed for wrong activities? and more the parents worries are on their future, but the child not think like them before involving. One of our known person’s child was involved in some clashes between students in collage and was in suspension for a month, but it seems he was not at all worried about that like their parents was undergoing. And it was like he was permitted to collage by paying fine for what he and other students make loss for the institute. Except these, when the collages are closed in the clash, the studies of others were disturbed, they loss the hours of class and the preparation for exams and lack for the notes by lectures. Parents and schools should teach students to use self control and self monitoring techniques to control there behavior. Developing the humankind in everyone, dismiss the injuring behavior from the mind and make them to walking towards peace process in every issue that would think to solve not to pull great.

Cute Monkeys & Top 10

I come across these monkeys (pic) while browsing the net. Cute isn’t it!


Ten Most Polluted Places

The national geography released an article of World's Top 10 Most Polluted Places. It includes India’s Sukinda. The home to one of the world's largest chromite mines used to make steel stainless, among other things and 2.6 million people, the waters of this valley contain carcinogenic hexavalent chromium compounds courtesy of 30 million tons of waste rock lining the Brahmani River.

Ukraine’s Chernoby. The fallout from the world's worst nuclear power accident continues to accumulate, affecting as many as 5.5 million people and leading to a sharp rise in thyroid cancer.

Russia’s Dzerzinsk. A center of Cold War chemical manufacturing, the city's 300,000 residents have one of the lowest life expectancies in the world thanks to waste injected directly into the ground.

Zambia’s Kabwe. The second largest city in this southern African country was home to one of the world's largest lead smelters until 1987. As a result, the entire city is contaminated with the heavy metal, which can cause brain and nerve damage in children and fetuses.

Peru’s La Oroya. Although this is one of the smallest communities on the list (population 35,000) it is also one of the most heavily polluted due to lead, copper and zinc mining by U.S.-based Doe Run mining company.

China’s Linfen. A city in the heart of China's coal region in Shanxi Province, its three million inhabitants choke on dust and drink arsenic that leaches from the fossil fuel.

Russia’s Norilsk. This city above the Arctic Circle contains the world's largest metal smelting complex and, therefore, some of the world's worst smog. "There is so much pollution going into the air from this place that there is no living piece of grass or shrub within 30 kilometers of the city.

Write in correctly

Writing is one important that changes our life. The satisfaction we get from writing on our hands and reading it, gives the interest has comes from my own experience. Mom used to tell I wrote alphabets and numbers before going to school, and after that is the papers next to slate and chalk that wishes to write more. It was the single, double and four ruler sheets for different subjects, particularly the four rulers used for English inspire me to write. There have the lines for small and capital letters, writing according to the rise and down of letter inside the lines taught me the easy way of writing. Actually my writing would be like scribbling, but it’s all the gentle goes to my tuition teacher who corrected me by holding my hands to give practice in join writing. It was the comfort I couldn’t get in school where we have to follow the teachers writing on the board in fast, but it was the scold I would get from her after returning to tuition with the scribbling notes. I could only realize it then and now the way I learn to write and spell the words from her.

Today the world is changing towards computerization; every thing was done through pressing the keys. The more the writing we use only till our campus life, that too are changing to digital format now, where a laptop for student instead of notes and books. When their was emails, whom to write letters and post, too little are doing that. Even the message to know was typed through keys, not in pen; the only thing is signatures were done. The bundles of files and writing works in offices are doing through computers, where the writings are in folders in some corner of the hard disk. The laziness in writing discloses in today’s young’s, somewhere they expect the help from family members or known to do their works.

What we write is nothing, the tool we use to write important. I am thankful to my school which was very strict in using ink pens (fountain pens) and the habit I still follow today. After the school life, I was in touch with writing even now I find time to write a page everyday. I feel that writing in hands does much, that more do the pen we use. Many of us may not realize the harm of using ballpoint pen, and the refill that used to write; nowadays the similar one to ballpoint was the Gel pen that was encouraged by some institutes. More over these pens are made of plastic that was harm to environment, ones the refill was finished we throw it and it wasn’t a recycling thing and the plastic releases poisonous fumes in the atmosphere that cause cancer when it was destroyed. In average the refill stands for a month and so according to the much we use, and then it was replaced by new one or by a new pen itself. With just 100 million people out of the 150 million uses plastic ballpoint, then we have something like a billion plastic pens and ten billion refills with one a month.

An alternative to the ballpoint is the only fountain pen, because of taking time to filling inks often many of us avoid it, but it was the best pen for us and environment. The bottles that store the ink can be reusable, so use a fountain pen that was a perfect and for friendly writing and if you care for environment tell bye to ballpoint and go to fountain pens.

Celebrate (a celebrity too)

The clay Ganesh was brought on the day before couple of hours to worship. The sundal, sugar pongal, vadai…. Were shown to him and ate by us. On any special day the entire time was before television with some nice and bored programs with all special foods as snacks to grind. It was the day for a new channel to enter the entertainment world for homemade, actually it’s a channel for Ads and remaining times for programs it seems. Ho I loss the endurance watching films on TV. Evening their were some drops, but it wouldn’t disturbed the ganesh procession from our street temple. Today the clay ganesh was immerse into the tub to dissolve, and then to pour at earth from the usual way of dissolving in sea. I think it would take some days to become dissolve fully.

It was an expected day to meet one of my dear cousin bro, who comes in a short holiday from his hostel. We don’t know he was over worried of leaving all of us or any other reason for his leanness, I was kept holding his hand for sometime. There was the movie Periyar on Sunday in TV, one of the looked film to watch. I was to tell it was nice to know a great leader of India, his simplicity, thoughts, and the struggle put me on stand to think. It wonders to know he has some policy disliked with Mahatma Gandhi’s. His oppose on some blind beliefs on religious ceremonies, the attacks from the upper caste on his true statements and self respect for everyone were captured well in the film to how people could understand. Proud to have such leader for our country and felt to have none like him now. His decent way of approach on politics and keeping the private relation with them in lovable manner surprises. An admiring act by Sathyaraj as Periyar. Hope u all had a nice celebration too.
