Picture shot at neighbourhood. And these kinds of flags are tied during social events and festivals to create a celebration mood and to mark the event.

The
release of Visiri, a single video song from Tamil film Enai Noki Paayum Thota,
has quite mesmerised me and to say I was addicted to this song or fell in love
from the first time listening, it keeps going still. Already two songs from the
film were released at various dates last year, but Visiri was simply breezy and
has beautiful lyrics to be murmured. The music director of the film was kept
secret until the Visiri released. Darbuka Siva has been a new comer composed
these awesome songs. Moreover one of my favourite singers Shashaa has lent her
voice to top notch…
Though GauthamMenon decided to give chance to a new comer rather following his usual Harish
and ARR formula, the songs carries a similar scent or accent (which seems to
ever wither) bearing the stamp of formers. More than watching the video I love
listening from home theatre.
Maruvaarthai is
another beautiful, excellent foot tapping song and gives a feel of classic
touched by stylish rhythm. Megha Akash, paired with Dhanush, is very pretty and
admirable to watch ;)
A year has end
and begin peacefully with great joy spread across, though nothing turned significantly
different, a refreshing feel enters the vein as we accelerate into a new year,
wishes and hopes bring new cheers into the life. The New Year eve was spent as
usual in front of television; apart checking my cousins in next-street to greet
on the occasion and receiving calls from other dear ones as we were awake till
1 am. News channels were live from different places on the sprite of New Year, and
the beaches in neighbourhood (Marina and Elliot) was thronged by people and
being a resident of Adyar, we could clearly hear the resound of rushing
vehicles, blasting fireworks and aloud greetings of New
Year.
The colourful
peacock Kolam in the picture above was drawn by my aunt in front of their house
(and also our native home in next-street) which I shot at the New Year night. Due
to very low light I couldn’t get clearer picture and I also used flash which
went over exposed I feel. My mom also drew Kolam in front of our house but it
was a simple one and uncoloured. For those unknown, Kolam is a pattern drawn in
front of the houses, a traditional custom followed by the people of India and Kolam
is a cultural identity of Tamil people and drawing colorful Kolam in front of the
home is considered as auspicious and a sign of welcome during the festival
seasons and events.
On January 1st
I went for a short ride on ECR (east coast road) and checked the Kovalam beach
in evening. ECR being a scenic stretch of entertainment, there was heavy
traffic on the road because of New Year and all entertainment hubs were crowded
includes the toll gate with longstanding queues. While parked at the beach, I find the sky beautiful
and took some photos using the iPhone and I tried panorama and was really amazed
by the light and colors of the sky. The setting of sunlight caused a great
effect on the image, to only find a glowing sun as we moved out of the beach
area and it continued for some time on the ECR before we took turn to The Great
Salt Lake area, off the ECR.
It was such
wonderful to see sun setting on the west and moon rising on east at same time. Being
a full moon day, the moon was also at its full glory just like the reddish sun.
Though I was taking photos on iPhone, I couldn’t get great details on both and
the mild hazy winter weather took control even though the twilight sky was interesting
watch throughout. Hope you enjoy the photos above and below on full moon.
Let us begin with joy, peace and prosperous to
prevail and to be grateful to what follow as shadow, as we put forth into a
hopefully bright brand New Year, let splash with smiles and colors to paint a
beautiful canvas called 2018. Happy New
Year
Nature speaks its language through swish swash trees, write notes on leaves through rays of light - relayed its natural shade, green.
Reading is a pleasure when books come from nature, the lecture of birds from the electric wires teaches how to survive in wild.
Sunlight warms and warns escapism is impossible, in the glory of nature rising up and down is eternal where we can’t find fault.
Like half mowed beard the mountain slopes, cutting off trees, man-made tea the refreshing brew that treats different taste buds. Mountain breeze take breath through many curves 'n' bends, the corridor of animals turned roads, to complain animals crossed the path!
Ps. The picture shot on a blissful morning in Cloud Mountain in march 2015 and the poem was inspired on same... and what you see was partially tea estates
