Unnecessary change

It’s not a one day game that changing the solar calendar followed by years which teach us that April 14 is the Tamil New Year day begins on Tamil month Chithirai. The New Year was calculated by the day sun arrives at middle of the sky, it follows after the south Madurai known as Kumari Kandam which was destroyed in sea rage and submerged. Then the south Madurai which have the Kapatapuram as its capital in north and in that tract the day sun arrives to middle of the sky was been on April 14.

I was disagreed on this decision of Tamil Nadu government introducing the bill to celebrate the Tamil New year on the Pongal Day, the first day of month Thai. I feel pongal is our harvesting festival and thanksgiving to nature and no need to mix it with New Year. The calendar was not prepared by the government; it was created by our ancestors seeing the sun’s position. We know chitirai as the first month, and everyone know as it is and suddenly announcing the change of the traditional habitually would confuse so many and I would only tell it’s the decision of government alone and it won’t affect others who follow it. Any way it would not be a holiday on April 14 and it won’t affect anything.

Love and Hate

Was tagged by Vijay to list what I love and hate.
I love to eat: Any general sea foods which are my favorites and green leaf vegetables. Popcorn; watching tv or movies I like eating popcorns one by one.

I hate to eat: Pizza, porridge (everyone always urge me to eat, but I refuse simply even not tasting a bit) , sapodilla fruit and KFC Chicken.

I love to go to: Kodaikanal, my all time best. It was closely two year now; I haven’t had a long trip, so I needed something that could be any hilly places with cool fresh breeze. Love to go on rides on Himalayan ranges of north and northeast India.

I hate to go: To grandpa house, but I love a lot to visit there which holds many memories and wishes staying with grandpa and grandma. I hate to visit because of my uncomforted; they stay in upstairs and the lane that was crowded always. I hate whatever place if it was crowded.

I love it when: I can share almost everything with my parent’s, my thoughts exist and getting satisfaction on whatever works I did well.

I hate it when: Some one values the love, because I feel love is worthless, it should come from heart and to valid in no measurement. Arguing oppose to my close ones.

I love to see: Pebble streams, grown green paddy fields, merry kids and whatever I feel beautiful (which is endless…)

I hate to see: Dirtiness, begging in torn clothes and holding with kids, distinguish between people and public nuisance.

I love to hear: Fluffy music with beautiful lines or poems; bird’s noise in the silent afternoons and sounds of chimes moving to wind.

I hate to hear: The remix songs, useless punch dialogues in Tamil films, the dryer sound from our washing machine and anything that disturbs while reading.

I like to tag my friends Alok, Kalyan and Krystyna

Indian Republic: What does it mean?


India is the largest democracy in the world. This not happens over night; two-and-a half years after India won Independence from British rule, our leaders decided to set-up a constitution to create rules and principles on basis of which our country would be governed. For this work they formed a constituent assemble and selected leaders from all over nation where assemblage as our nation approved the constitutions and brought into force. The constitution was written by then Law Minister and the leader who had often opposed Gandhiji, B.R. Ambedkar with Jawaharlal Nehru as first Prime Minister of India.

The constitution was finalized after three years work by of assemble in which it contained features from British, French and American constitution. It established parliamentary democracy in which the constitution is supreme. It lists the fundamental rights as citizens of India, such as the freedom of speech and right to freedom of religion. There are also fundamental duties such as to protect the dignity of women, to value the rich heritage of our composite culture and to preserve forests and wildlife.

The idea of the Republic was taken from a book by the same name by Greek philosopher Plato in which he describes an ideal state, ruled by the people. Every single citizen got the right to vote, making our country the largest democracy in the world and the strength of our constitution has been proved by the smooth and secure general elections. Though our republic is 58 years old and the history that goes back to 5,000 years, our society still contained many injustices, discrimination by reserving employment, seats in school and colleges for the oppressed people and denied equal rights over centuries. Still the county can’t pass the 33 percent reservation for women’s that have been pending for past 10 years. The constitution should aim in clearing the wrong and to declare into one word of human that India will be an equal secular republic with people of different religion, tradition and culture...

The most important and highlight of Indian republic is, parades. The first parade was held in 1950 at Irwin stadium, today which was National Stadium. To marking the event, every year a grand parade conducted in the capital is a lavish affair of showcasing India's advancement in military affairs by marching columns presenting the armed forces, accompanied by army vehicles and military band troops. Decorated conveyances from different states of India and the traditional folk artists performance from across the country floats the street from Rashtrapati Bhavan to Red Fort. Beating the retreat on the third day marks the end of the Republic Day celebrations that takes place in an ancient military custom of sending drummers through the streets just before sunset to warn the troops to return to their barracks before the flag is lowered for the night. The bands always play the ancient hymn `Abide with me' and as the bands fall silent a solitary bugler takes up the hymn's refrain.

Logic less magic

To the red loam planet
in disposition to destination
sets-up in everyone’s oppose, so
much disturbance over climbing aviation.

Conceal under seats of common carrier
in standstill motion of traffic jams
hostiles seek to divide the sweethearts
who’s eager for a lonely planet?

Fancy dreams in the mind
lonely house forever in vast land
here and there the little’s love shared
where guarded in branches of
fable tale baobabs widespread.

In wonderlands that accommodate
unstable climate excites every moment
green and silky grasses, moving clouds
sustain a delicious life out there.

The desires lost before boarding
it shocks him, there she missed in crowd
in search of heart, it feels with some other
clueless what happens to her.

Just like a thunder flash it was
left strong memories that puzzles still
the rooster roars in early alarming defeats
later everything relates to dream.

Surprise call

I don’t want to postpone it still after the year itself begins. It was like the road sides of ECR everywhere disturbing rubbish thrown inside my computer; the pictures, documents, music songs, videos… today everything was arranged and some sent to dustbin. The wanted clearance of my computer table and racks where done with the help of mom and also my music system and CD’s where properly arranged. Disappoint comes these days to fill the craving of not having camera at moments that I liked to capture. I would only feel of thinking the days without cam and move to make myself satisfy. Hope the days not away and the time will comes closer to own my new cam.

There was a surprise call, which I dint expect that I could receive. The voice I heard was my sweet friend (shanu) of childhood, who shares my desk in school and playing together some times back. It was for three or four years back I saw her passing my home streets often, after changing my home the thoughts about her happens hardly. It’s a big surprise u know hearing a familiar voice when mind was empty from her thoughts and what’s more happy is she still remembers me and get contacted. I was dump what’s happening at her life and I was thinking she may be working or doing some think like university, but for what she called was to invite me for her child’s first birthday. For me, still not comes out of the wonder hearing her voice; her marriage and son’s birthday puts smiles a lot than anything to astonish.

In between these years she lost her mother who was invisible (can’t see) and the changes in her carrier and moved with her husband to little distance from her home. She was visiting my old home to invite me, but she was not disappointed where my uncle who stays there gave my number and that helps her to contact us. I really apologies for not being attending her son’s birthday party, no way she was staying in first floor and mom was to following some other plan, we missed it. I just always wish her a beautiful life and happiness. I know how much love she kept on her mom and taking care her needs very carefully. First thing comes to my mind thinking her is, my visit to her home when we both where class mate and running around her flats, playing, chatting and seeing her mom sitting in a chare and she calls her to make know we (I and bro) have come. I hope she would get all kindness, love, peace in life from her little son and husband.
