Fence and Flowers - Torch Lily
Kniphofia is the scientific name
of the Torch Lily (which also known as Tritom and Red Hot Poker due to the
shape and color of its inflorescence) I found near Ooty, across a chain link
fence. The flowering plants are native to Africa and have narrow, grass-like
leaves that reminiscent of a lily, and the flower head can reach up to 1.52 m
in height. There are many varieties of touch lily and they bloom at different
times during the growing season and comprise flowers color in red, orange and
yellow, often bi-colored.

கனவு / Dream
pic courtesy: google |
குழந்தைக்கும் எட்டும் கனி கனவு.
வயதுவரம்பின்றி அனைவருக்கும் வரும் கனவு.
கண்ணுக்கும் கனவுக்கும் சம்மந்தம் இல்லைஎன்றாலும்
பார்வைஇல்லதவர்க்கு? என்று வரும்பொழுது வியக்கிறது.
இரவிலும் இருளிலும் வரும் கனவுக்கு
பதில் என்னவோ வெளிச்சம் என்றாலும்
வெளிச்சத்தை கண்டிராதவருக்கு? என்று வரும்பொழுது
என்
கனவுகள் தோற்றுபோகின்றன.
இருளில் விடிந்து இருளில் மறையும் உலகில்
இருளை மட்டும் அடிப்படையாக கொண்ட மனதில்
என்ன தோன்றும் என்பது என் கற்பனைக்கும் எட்டாது.
கனவுகள் மெய்பட என் வாழ்த்துகள்.
The fruit that even reaches a baby is dream.
Without age difference dream comes to everyone.
Although there’s no relation between eyes and dream
when it comes to those without vision? it wonders.

For the dream that comes in night and darkness
the answer maybe perhaps illuminated
but when it comes to those who never seen light?
My dreams become failure.

In a world where it dawn and end in darkness
for the mind that based only on the darkness
what appears to be doesn’t even reach my imagination.
Congratulations for the dreams to come true.

Sunday Photos – Uthandi Beach
Couple of weeks back while on
ECR, I come across Uthandi beach and spent some time on its peaceful and pretty
clean ambience. Uthandi beach exists
(take left) with a km ahead to ECR toll gate, when coming from Chennai, and the
beach comes to view at the end of VGP Uthandi Layout. The road to the beach was
well laid in concrete and has a police booth at the entrance of the road and also
bears barriers across the road to prevent speeding. The layout has moderate number
of houses and bungalows to look beautiful and could see many taking walks along
their pet dogs – perhaps, because of the strange feeling and loneliness and
calm being.
It was about 5.45pm and the place
was turning darker as sun hides opposite leaving little light for capturing
image. I find the beach to be neatest and pretty clean, perhaps because of fewer
visitors and frequented by local residents alone. The new beach also has
restrooms to my amazement, with ramp facility and dustbins indicates to keep away
trashes. I didn’t take my wheelchair but could experience the serene from inside
the car with a desire to be there again on my wheelchair to explore the pretty
lanes and houses. I also saw some wonderful gates and fences there, which i
like to capture sometime for good fence meme. Hehe...

Shooting Wood Fence
The lookalike country fence here was
erected for a film shoot (Shanker’s “I”) and it was shot during my vacation to
Kodaikanal in year 2013. The fence along a gate (click here) was pretty good
and represents a real farmhouse entry and this location was shot in such a
beautiful way in the movie I. The setting was put up on a little mound facing
grasslands, pine and eucalyptus plantation/forest near Kavunji, about 35km from
Kodaikanal. And Mannavanur is a place very close to this location, which has
been shooting hub for many movies with rolling grasslands and sheep farm.

Tribute to Aachi Manorama
There are certain things happen
unexpectedly and Aachi Manorama’s lose was such and she is a greatest Indian
legendary actress and senior artist where no one in this word would have
achieved like her. She’s the only actress in the world to
be acted in more than 1500 films and 5,000 stage plays! I was thinking about
Manorama’s contribution to Tamil cinema lately and was feeling grieve that no
one took notice about her and truly wished that someone take a grand function for
her when she was alive; commemorating her appearance in almost Indian languages
and character that nothing left behind. An
amazement rise up every time thinking about her and I always think, apart being
an actress she’s someone very special and no Indian actress would have received
such recognition and withstood for a period of long time or more than 60 years in film industry.
I think it is her base that kept
her existed for record breaking years in film industry – the drama or theatre
performances she continue to do beside her acting in movies. As a mainstream comedian and character
artist, she had done milestone performance in number of movies and in emotional
and mother characters there was a time no one couldn’t defeat her or no films
made without her. There are number of
films I admired her acting, but I haven’t been familiar with movies of her in earlier
stage. Samsaram athu Minsaram, Paati Sollai Thattathea, Chinna Thambi, Chinna
Gounder, Nadigan, Guru Sishyan, Kizakku Vaasal, Pangali, Thillana Mohanambal,
Aboorva Sagotharangal, Savaal are some of her many films I enjoyed her role. Not
only acting, she’s a wonderful singer and has sung about 300 songs and all her
songs are super hit and her vocal is something distinct and standouts.
Though I feel there’s something absence
in recognizing her presence while she alive, the crowd that gathered for her final
procession towards the funeral is not everyone celebrates. In a decade, not a celebrity
or artist gathered such crowd (after Sivaji’s demise in 2001) and almost Tamil
cinema had paid their homage to her at her premises. The actress had acted with
5 Chief Ministers and her association with Chief Minister Jayalaitha, in
cinema, is too close and her personal homage to her is quite appropriate and an
honour that entitle everything. Though being an epic chairperson in acting her association
with actors and public always seems to be simplest and her record doesn’t
showcased anywhere and she lived a life that everyone will appreciate and adherence.
She’s a role model to all actors’ esp. who wants to long stand in film industry
and for an actor he/she should be ready to take any role rather doing only hero
and heroine. Manorama has broken this practice and had done what she itself
wouldn’t have expected. Until cinema/theatre is there, she will be alive in
memories and film and digital rolls.

Sunday Photo and Update on week
Sky and Leaves |
For last one week, I haven’t been
quite well! Begin with the symptoms of cold and fever, touched the peak in couple
of days to influence me on the routine taking me on its own control and route.
I wasn’t interesting on anything rather watching TV (just to defeat boring), and
had headaches ever like before and high fever keeps me awake for two
consecutive days/nights. I was in medication for more than a week now and
continue to have it for some time since my x-ray reveals mucus/sputum in lungs
and was also going through some mixed feeling about my health lately. I checked
with a cardiologist last week for my difficult with upper body and chest pain
sometime... but I was glad to know everything related to my heart was healthy
and normal. The doctor also suggested some medication for muscle strength (since
my upper body doesn’t get any exercise, the muscles get lose or tight to feel uneasy) and this is
first time a doctor lead a medicine for strengthening muscles in muscular
dystrophy and I hope it helps better.
The entire week has been hell for
me and I wasn’t suffered that much and was forced to take a nap one afternoon
which is something unusual for me and it happens only if I wasn’t really well. Right
now doing much better and you might know about the situation from the post
itself as I could write blog after a week but still something bothering me to
keep not quiet. I hope nothing serious happening with my body and will be
completely ok soon. I will try to be active and catching with blogs.

A beautiful song
Adiyea Azhagae is a just released
single track from an upcoming Tamil movie Oru Naal Koothu. Like they say love
at first sight... I fell in love at first time listening to this song, which
gives a sense of soothing although it sounds familiar here and there. For the
simple and realistic lyrics, Justin Prabhakaran has done beautiful justice/composition
and in voice of Sean Roldan and Padmalatha it was nice listening. The move was
led by Attakathi Dinesh, Mia George and Nivetha Pethuraj – a Miss India UAE, who
also has a facial resemblance that reminds Trisha.
