It's time for a cup of coffee

A regular movie watcher in theatres during weekend..

2009-12-27T04:15:00.000-08:00

It’s been quite a while I haven’t published posts to my blog page. Rather I was thinking of some generic topics which can come and strike my mind. But it didn’t happen for sometime. Recently many of my friends commented on one of my habit which I will never ever forget to do during every weekend, what’s that?? It’s none other than watching movies in theatres. I am not so crazy about movies to be honest. At the same time I will not miss even a single weekend (on Sunday’s) to go to a theatre. I am just thinking for sometime why I am like this?? Can I spend the weekend without visiting a theatre?? Lot of questions does come to mind when I think about it.

I watch Tamil ones, the English ones and sometimes the Hindi ones too. I am not able to speak Hindi fluently, but I can try to speak and at the same time I can very well understand Hindi. This gives me an option to watch some Hindi movies too. When I meet my colleagues on Monday or when I meet some of my friends outside, the 2 questions what they used to ask me are,

What was the movie you watched last weekend??
How was it??

I think they take it by default that would have been for a movie. My reply to them also for their 1st question will be always ‘Yes’ and for the 2nd question I generally give a positive feedback about the movie. But unfortunately every time when my friends/colleagues go for that movie the next weekend, they will come back to me saying that movie is not so good or up to the mark. But when I come out of the theatre most of the times I felt the movie was ok for 3 hrs of time pass. But later I understood that my friends have gone to see a different type of a movie. This made me to identify the difference between why I go for a movie and why they go for it? My motto is to spend some 3 hrs of time outside my home at least on Sundays’. Sometimes I prefer beach for a change. I am not interested in doing a shopping/ window shopping at some big shopping malls. The real reason is generally my month-end starts at 15th of every month. So I would prefer to avoid shopping. Window shopping will tempt me to purchase something and I will end up with purchasing them by a just swiping my credit card. These dumped card payment dues will bring down my next month’s month-end from 15th to 10th. So I skip this option and I ended up with a last option of going out for a movie. It’s always nice to see some good English movies and high budget Tamil/Hindi movies in theatres. Basically you will get a good effect and feel of that movie. That’s one reason I prefer this option. But some times I ended up with going to theatre to watch a dumb movie. Recently I tried to escape from one of the theatre during interval, as that Tamil movie was so horrible to watch from the beginning. But fate, my escape attempt was unsuccessful as the theatre gate was closed and no one was standing nearby to open the gate. So I left helpless to watch the second part of that too. That weekend was undoubtedly spoiled because of that movie.

Finally I have made up my mind to stay away from taking these types of risks very frequently. May be once in 2 months I can take this risk but not very often. Nowadays (from last weekend), I have started reading some movie reviews on websites and started asking my friends about the movies what they have seen and how was it?? If I get a favorable answer then only I am planning to go for it. It’s enough of spending money on watching those useless movies. Thanks to my good friends who had helped me in changing this habit of mine.

Maturity - A voice of dignity

2009-11-10T09:34:00.000-08:00

'Maturity' is something which should grow as we get into each and every steps of life. Present generation kids are mostly over-matured which is troublesome sometimes and immaturity is also a problem among some human beings. When I mean maturity as a term, here it signifies to how correctly we are reacting to the situation, how correctly we are taking decisions in our life, how much stubborn we are in our decisions and so on. In general this term shapes a human being to the great extent.

When do we feel that we are getting matured mentally? When I have taken a correct decision in my future career? Or When I am able to maintain my decency in public? Or When I am true to my family? Or When I support my family on all circumstances? Or When I am able to learn from my mistakes and correct myself? It’s very simple. When your activities and course of action yields you positive results for the above questions, it’s a sign of maturity in our self. Not only these questions, there are so many like these, which tests our mental stability. And when we are able to clear all these tests without anyone’s guidance then we are definitely matured.

Most of them feel that at present they are not fully matured. But however we are getting matured day by day. The situations and problems what we face in our daily life creates a sort of mental stability in our self which in turn guides us to take correct decisions. So unless and until we face any situation in our life, it’s difficult to plan a course of action. First time for the same situation we would have taken a wrong decision, however when we face the same situation again our mind tends to eliminate the wrong decision what we had taken first. So in this way maturity comes to play in our life.

Friends of my age used to tell me that when they stay alone, they have to take their own decisions and they have to plan for themselves everyday. So in this way they feel that they are getting matured. But were the decisions taken are correct? They have no one to guide them for the first time. Sometimes those hasty decisions will overlook its impacts.
First stage of maturity needed an emphatic listening and correct understanding of the situation or problem. The second stage needed a well planned course of action and final stage needed a fine-tuning of our activities in accordance to the situation. When we are able to cope-up our self to all the three stages, it gives us an inference of good matured thinking.

I remember one saying on maturity stated by William Stekel. It’s a good saying. This is where matured person distinguishes himself from an immature person.

‘The immature man wants to die nobly for a cause, while the mature man wants to live humanely for one’

Well educated people sometimes tend to take wrong decisions. It’s because they are not matured enough to find out the correct solution/decision. I would conclude by saying that higher level of maturity in every individual helps them to lead a disciplined, dignified and a happier life.

Trekking has shown us the mind-blowing, different & beautiful Ooty.

2009-11-06T23:34:00.000-08:00

‘Nature at its best!!!’ I would say when I had a chance to visit the different and very rare lovely spots in Ooty which I haven’t heard of in my life, not only for me but also for everyone. When it comes to Ooty, what comes to everyone’s mind is that the lovely botanical garden with beautiful flower shows and chill climate.

When I planned my trip with my colleagues to Ooty, we have also decided to go and hit the same place obviously. But nature God turned its way down and invited us to come and visit its own gifted and very awesome places in surrounding areas of Ooty. Probably these places would be still unknown to most of the people who had Visited Ooty. No more surprises on what that place is going to be? It’s a place called as ‘Western Catchment’. Is it place with full of waterfalls? Or is it a place with full of flowers? Or is it place surrounded with a huge lake?? Lot of thoughts went around in our mind when the trip organizer in Ooty (Kuttan – 9843558382) had mentioned about this place. Whether is it worth to visit that place? Whether it will convince our satisfaction? Finally after visiting that place nature God answered to all of our questions by not in words, but by the way we expressed our satisfaction and happiness. What a feel we had after reaching that place. I would say it’s an amazing spot and that day was an extraordinary moment in my life.

First and foremost I would tell you how to go to that place. It’s a valley region located near the Mukurthi national park. This place is located around 25 Kms from main Ooty. Take a Jeep and reach this park and then what is needed is bit of walk. Sorry not a bit but a distance of around 7Kms we have to cover by walk to reach this nature’s very best gifted place. Earlier Jeep can cover this 7Km as well. But recently there were some land slides and due to which at some point the road was not really helping vehicles to pass by. Hence to go and come back we have to walk 15 Kms (to & fro). The roadway is so nice and we can do a normal walk. Climbing or walking over a steep path is not there. At one point we have to be bit careful while crossing the road point which was hit by landslide. That’s not so risky anyways. Go with a bunch of friends and you can reach that place while chatting with your friends in parallel.

Secondly, the next doubt/concern what would arise is on how is that place is going to be? I am going to walk 15 Kms, so what do I get when I go there? Let me put to you in very simple words. It’s a greenish valley all the way around surrounding you when you walk 7 kms. One point you will feel does that greenish valley is chasing you!! It’s a reserved forest area and forest officers (1/2) will accompany you. So don’t get scared of anything. This trekking is very safe. When you go with your digital/handy camera, then your camera is one of the gifted devices I would say, as it’s going to perform lots of clicks on those greenish valleys. Everywhere you go and wherever you turn around you can see lots of greenish sceneries and you will be continuously doing clicks on your camera. Climate will be awesome as it’s a valley region and there will not be sweating also. So you can rock your trekking and continue to entertain your eyes and camera lens. Those greenish valleys will offer themselves as green carpets welcoming for a nice feast to our eyes and cameras. Since it’s a forest area and if you are really lucky, then you can get a chance to see some deers, tigers and wild buffalo’s. Fortunately we had a chance to see some 4/5 deers crossing us. While passing we can see some waterfalls and some plants of herbal types too. If the climate supports you then you will have an awesome time there. Photos, photos and everywhere different and mind-blowing landscapes. Go till the end, as the end point will be miraculous and amazing. Probably with a normal walk we can go there spend time and come back in 5/6 hours. 4 hrs for to & fro walk, 1 hr to spend in the end point, 30 mins for rest in-between and 30 mins for your camera clicks.

Kuttan, he is the trip organizer who has planned and organized this trekking idea for us. He is a very adjustable guy and his specialty is that he can organize the trips and choose the spots based on your taste and expectations.You can get in touch with him if you are impressed with the attached photos which are taken from those areas. He guides you for other normal places and other good trekking spots.

ஒரு தத்துவ இயல் பேராசிரியர் தன்னுடைய வகுப்பில் பாடத்தை துவங்கு வதற்கு முன்னர் கையில் ஒரு சில பொருட்களுடன் அமைதியாக மாணவர்கள் எதிரிலேயே நின்று கொண்டிருந்தார். வகுப்பு ஆரம்பித்த உடன் எதுவும் பேசாமல் தனது கையிலிருந்த பெரிய ஜாடியினை மாணவர்களின் முன் வைத்து அந்த வெற்று ஜாடியினுள் ஒரு சில கோல்ப் பந்துகளை இட்டு அதனை நிறைத்தார்.

அவ்வாறு செய்த பிறகு மாணவர்களைப் பார்த்து இந்த ஜாடி நிறைந்து விட்டதா? என வினவினார். மாணவர்களும் நிறைந்தது என ஒப்புக் கொண்டனர். அதன் பிறகு பேராசிரியர் தான் கொண்டு வந்திருந்த கூழாங்கற்களை எடுத்து அதனையும் அந்த ஜாடிக்குள் போட்டு குலுக்கினார். அந்த கூழாங்கற்கள் கோல்ப் பந்துகளின் உள்ள இடைவெளிகளில் நிரம்பியது. மீண்டும் மாணவர்களைப் பார்த்து இந்த ஜாடி நிறைந்து விட்டதா? என வினவினார். மாணவர்களும் ஒருமித்த‌ குர‌லில் ஒப்புக் கொண்டனர்.

அடுத்தாக‌ பேராசிரிய‌ர் ம‌ணல் நிர‌ம்பிய‌ பெட்டியினை எடுத்து அந்த பெட்டியிலிருந்து ஜாடியினுள் ம‌ணலைக் கொட்டினார். இப்பொழுது ஜாடியினை மணலான‌து முழுவ‌துமாக‌ நிர‌ம்பியிருந்த‌து. மீண்டும் ஒரு முறை இந்த ஜாடி நிறைந்து விட்டதா? என வினவினார். மாணவர்களும் ஆம் என‌ ஒப்புக் கொண்ட‌ன‌ர். மேலும் பேராசிரிய‌ர் இர‌ண்டு குவ‌ளையில் தேநீர் த‌யாரித்து அத‌னையும் அந்த‌ ஜாடியினுள் ஊற்றினார். அந்த‌ தேநீரான‌து எஞ்சியுள்ள‌ அனைத்து வெற்று இட‌ங்க‌ளையும் மணல்க‌ளின் உள்ளே சென்று நிர‌ம்பிய‌து. இத‌னைக் கண்ட‌ மாண‌வர்க‌ள் அனைவரும் சிரித்த‌ன‌ர்.

பேராசிரியர் புன்முறுவலோடு புன்னகைத்த வண்ணம் மாணவர்களைப் பார்த்து இந்த ஜாடியானது உங்களுடைய வாழ்வைக் குறிக்கிறது. முதலில் இட்ட கோல்ப் பந்துகளானது வாழ்வின் முக்கிய அம்சங்களான கடவுள், குடும்பம், உங்களது ஆரோக்கியம், தோழமைகள் மற்றும் உள் விருப்பங்களைக் குறிக்கிறது. வாழ்வில் மற்றவைகளை இழந்தாலும் மேற்சொன்ன வ‌ற்றை நாம் கொண்டு இருப்போமேயானால் நமது வாழ்வானது நிறைவடைந்ததாக இருக்கும். அடுத்ததாக ஜாடியினுள் போட்ட கூழாங்கற்கள் உங்களுடைய வேலை, இல்லம் மற்றும் அன்றாட தேவைகளுக்கு பயன்படும் வாகனங்கள் போன்றவைகளாகும். மூன்றாவதாக இடப்பட்ட மணலானது மற்ற அனைத்து உலக விசயங்களைப் போன்றவைகளாகும். அவை சிறியதாக இருந்தாலும் முழுதுமாய் நிரம்பியதை கவனித்தீர்களல்லவா?

நீங்க‌ள் முத‌லாவ‌தாக‌ ம‌ண‌லை ஜாடியினுள் நிர‌ப்பி விட்டீர்க‌ளேயானால் கோல்ப் ப‌ந்துக‌ளுக்கும், கூழாங்க‌ற்க‌ளுக்கும் இட‌ம் இல்லாம‌ல் போய்விடும் என்றார் பேராசிரிய‌ர். அத‌னைப்போன்று தான் ந‌ம் வாழ்வும் ம‌ணல் போன்ற‌ சின்னஞ்சிறிய‌ விச‌ய‌ங்க‌ளுக்கெல்லாம் உங்க‌ள‌து நேர‌ம் மற்றும் ச‌க்தியை செல‌விட்டீர்க‌ளேயானால் உங்க‌ள் வாழ்வும் ம‌கிழ்ச்சியாக‌ அமையாது என்றார். கோல்ப் ப‌ந்துக‌ளை முத‌லில் க‌வ‌னியுங்க‌ள். அவை தான் மிக‌ முக்கிய‌மான‌வைக‌ளாகும். மற்ற‌தை ஒதுக்கி விடுங்க‌ள்.

இத‌னைக் கூர்ந்து கேட்டுக் கொண்டிருந்த‌ மாணவ‌ர்க‌ளில் ஒருவ‌ன் த‌ன‌து கையினை உய‌ர்த்தி தேநீரான‌து எதைக் குறிக்கிற‌து என‌ ஆர்வ‌முட‌ன் கேட்டான். பேராசிரியர் சிரித்த‌ப‌டியே உன‌து கேள்வியால் நான் பெரும‌கிழ்ச்சி அடைகின்றேன் என‌க் கூறி உங்க‌ள‌து வாழ்க்கை என்ற‌ ஜாடி எவ்வ‌ளவு தான் நிறைந்து இருந்தாலும் நண்பர்க‌ளுட‌ன் தேநீர் அருந்த‌ இருமுறை நேர‌ம் ஒதுக்குங்க‌ள் என்றார்.

உங்க‌ள‌து வாழ்க்கையில் பிர‌ச்ச‌னைக‌ளை கையாள்வ‌து மிக‌வும் க‌டின‌மாக‌த் தோன்றினால் ஒரு நாளில் உள்ள‌ 24 ம‌ணி நேர‌ம் போதுமான‌தாக இல்லையென்று தோன்றினால் இந்த‌ ஜாடி ம‌ற்றும் தேநீரை நினைவு கூறுங்க‌ள்.

How to make fun out of your friend - Part 2 – Singapore bride

2009-10-17T09:07:00.000-07:00

Try differently is always our gang’s motto. Whatever it may be. Be it in the work or while making fun out of our friends.

Objective: This time we have decided to make our comedy piece believe whatever we tell. Also at the same time we have to be very real while building the story. He should not get to know that whatever we are telling is just a lie. So the topic should be something in which he can really pay attention and also we should get a chance to tell hell lot of stories simultaneously.

Incident: In this conversation there are 4 people - I, Friend 1(F1), Friend 2(F2) and our Comedy piece (C.P) are involved.

Last Thursday I initiated the conversation and decided to make him fun out of him again.

I: Hey da (to C.P), do you know that our Friend1 (F2) is going to get engaged soon
C.P: Oh is it?? When?? He didn’t tell me about this.
I: No da he was thinking of informing all once his engagement goes fine.
C.P: But he told you. Same way he could have informed me also (getting into our trap)
I: Leave it da. His personal interest... What we can do...
C.P: Ok. By the way what is that Bride girl doing now?
I: She is working in Singapore. She is his distant family relation.
C.P: Oh super da. Have you seen her already? (Gave a point for me to build up further)
I: Yes, he has shown her photo to me once. She was looking cute.
F1: To make our C.P believe further, yes da I have seen her too. She is looking good.
C.P: Nice da. When these things happened? Though I was in the gang no one shared
these things to me. You people use me as comedy piece. Never shared any good
news’ like this. I am angry on F2 (guy for whom we have fixed that Singapore girl)
I: Leave it da. Why are you taking it serious? Be cool and calm.
F1: Yes da (to C.P). He will tell you one day personally. Keep quiet till then.
C.P: No da I wanted to ask him why he didn’t tell me. Generally he calls me first if he
wanted to have fun (damaging himself). Same way he could have told me about this.
I: Hey da just leave it.
C.P: No. I am going to call him (F2) and ask him about this.

My friend F2 was in his native. He doesn’t know that we have built up another story in his absence. We thought he will tell the truth to our C.P. But just follow what happened.

F2: After picking up C.P’s call. Hey tell me da how are you and what’s up then?
C.P: You didn’t tell me one thing, which you shared it with all others.
F2: Hey da. What’s that matter? Why I am going to hide it from you. Tell me which one
you are talking about?
C.P: Your engagement matter only.

Fate, F2 also got tuned into it and he understood that we have built up some story and he has decided to add some matter to it. We are saved this time. Rather C.P got into our trap perfectly.

F2: Sorry da. I thought I will come and tell you. But you got to know it before.
C.P: Ok da. You just wanted to avoid it from me.

I and F1 were trying to console our C.P to make it a real scene. He was bit angry that time. F2 don’t know that who is that girl and what is she doing, and where she is now.

C.P: How is she doing in Singapore and how is her work going? (Asked to F2)
F2: (Got to know that the imaginary girl is in Singapore and she is working now with this question from C.P). Yes she is fine.
C.P: Oh okay. Started speaking to her daily? What is her name?
F2: Her name is XXXX. She is fine and yeah we are talking over phone daily for more
than 30mins. I have her photo (extra build up) and will come and show you.

We don’t know whose photo he is going to show to our C.P:

C.P: Any way my hearty wishes da. Enjoy (he cut the call)
I: So what he said? Did he tell anything about that girl?
C.P: Yes he said he will come here and show her photo to me.

See our C.P’s innocence. This is what his weakness and this is where we are playing around him like anything. Once my friend (F2) comes to office on Tuesday after vacation he might reveal the truth that these are build-ups’. If he really wishes to continue this game, he might show some girls photo also. Who knows? Let’s wait and see on Tuesday what happens?

Long live our C.P.

How to make fun out of your friend - Part 1

2009-10-12T09:19:00.000-07:00

Friends are always God's gifts to us. When we are alone it’s always the friends who take away our loneliness by accompanying us. Good friends always share our pain and pleasure. I am also very lucky to get lots of good friends at my workplace. During tea, lunch and snacks time we often meet and will have lot of chit-chats and keep our desk at cafeteria like a fun place always. There is no reason to keep quiet when I am at cafeteria with my friends. Some of them are very easy going/casual and rest others are bit sentimental too. So be careful in choosing who is your gang’s comedy piece? He should be an eligible guy with cool character and practical thinker.

So I and two of my friends have decided to make fun out of that guy (eligible comedy piece from our gang!!!). For the past two days we called him and spoke to him over phone during the night time as if we were totally boozed. He was trying to advice us not to booze and he was not really sure for what reason we drank. We scolded him very badly and we were trying to pull some of our other friends also. But he is the one and only lucky guy who got into our trap. My friend was scolding about me to him and the same time I have also started scolding my other friend to him. He was confused why we are scolding. We have created a scene as if my friend had a love failure and he has started to booze regularly. So we have started calling him daily and he was advising us daily. Yesterday evening we have decided to make a good fun out of him. I and my friend had met and decided to call him again. He was bit hesitant to pick up my friend’s call, as he knew that he would have boozed heavily. So he wanted to stay away from hearing bad words and non-stop nonsense’s. But we never left him. He kept on calling him and he picked up the call at last. He started scolding him for not picking up the call.

Meanwhile our comedy piece called me and told me that my other friend is continuously calling him and disturbing him. My other friend is a very good actor and he acted as if he had really boozed. He told him that he wanted to meet me and so he asked my address to him. He also told him that I was not picking up the call. Our comedy piece called and told me the same. I told him not to give my address as he had boozed. Also I said not to pick up his call again. Fate, what to do?? He called him again and asked my home land-line no to reach me. Our master replied that he don’t have my home no. My friend asked him in turn to get it from IT minister (good actor trying to blabber as if he is boozed). For that the reply from our master was 'IT minister won’t have my landline no'. Wow!!! What a reply from our master. I don’t know who had boozed really yesterday.

After this conversation my friend had cut the call. All this phone conversations happened in front of me, as my friend came to meet me yesterday night. Our master without knowing this called me and repeated the conversations once again. We have decided to go deeper into this.

Rest will be posted in the next chapter. What to do our eligible comedy piece has done lots of comedies like this :-)

Think before drinking tea while traveling by Indian Railway (IRCTC) . Following are some of the unknown reasons which will make all of us to stop having tea going forward during the train journey.

1. Caters use toilet water for making tea
2. Your tea is made in a special zone near toilet.
3. Bath heater is used for making tea.

ராமு சோமு காமெடிகள்

1)
ராமு : நேற்று ராத்திரி போலீஸ் வீட்டில் ஆட்டைய போட போனது தப்பா போச்சு.
சோமு : ஏன் என்னாச்சு?
ராமு : போலீஸ்காரன் கிட்ட மாட்டிகிட்டேன். அவன் என் கையில இருக்கிற மத்தவங்க திருட்டு பணத்தையும் லஞ்சமா பிடுங்கிட்டான்.

2)
ராமு : சார், ஏன் அந்த போலீஸ்காரர் நகை தொலஞ்சு போச்சுனு கம்பிளைன்ட் கிடச்சும் நடவடிக்கை எதுவும் எடுக்காம இருக்காரு.
சோமு : இதை அந்த போலீஸ்காரர் கிட்ட கேட்டா, திருடன் கிட்ட இருந்து எந்த தகவலும் வரலைன்னு சொல்றாறு.

3)
மு‌ட்டா‌ள்:
ஒருவனு‌க்கு தொலைபேசி அழைப்பு வருகிறது. எதிர்முனையில் இருப்பவர் ராமு, உங்கள் மகள் இறந்து விட்டாள் என்கிறது அ‌ந்த‌க் குர‌ல்.

துக்கம் தாளாமல் கட்டிடத்தின் 100 வது தளத்திலிருந்து சர்தார்ஜி குதித்து விடுகிறார்.

50வது தளத்தை அடையும் போது அவருக்கு நினைவுக்கு வருகிறது தனக்கு மகள் இல்லையென்று.

25வது தளத்தை அடையும் போதுதா‌ன் அவருக்கு நினைவுக்கு வருகிறது தனக்கு இன்னும் திருமணமே ஆகவில்லையென்று.

10வது தளத்தை அடையும் போது அவருக்கு நினைவுக்கு வருகிறது தன் பெயர் ராமு அல்ல சோமு என்று.

4)
3 * 2 என்ன ?
ராமு : ஏன் சோமு சோகமா வர
சோமு: வாத்தி என்ன வீட்டுக்கு போக சொலிட்டாரு. எனக்கு கணக்கு சரியா வரலைன்னு சொலிட்டாரு.

சோமு: நீ என்ன‌ சொன்ன‌யோ அதைத் தான் அப்ப‌டியே பதிலா
சொன்னேன், வீட்டுக்கு அனுப்பிட்டாரு.

எங்கள் வீட்டிலும் நவராத்திரி...

2009-09-23T10:46:00.000-07:00

வருஷா வருஷம் நவராத்திரினா எல்லாருக்கும் கொலு வைப்பதே நியாபகத்திற்கு வரும். ஆனா எனக்கு மட்டும் சாயங்காலம் கிடைக்கிற சுண்டல் போன்ற பலகாரம் தான் நியாபகத்திற்கு வருது. நல்ல பண்டிகை தானே??

பள்ளிக்கூடப் பசங்களுக்கும் ஒரே சந்தோஷம் தான். இப்ப காலாண்டுத் தேர்வு விடுமுறையில் இருப்பாங்க.

எதுக்கு நவராத்திரியான 9 நாள் பண்டிகையை நம்ம கொண்டாடுறோம்?? முதல் 3 நாட்கள் தைரியத்தின் வடிவமான மஹாகாளியை வணங்குவதும், அடுத்த 3 நாட்கள் செல்வத்தின் சொருபமான மஹாலஷ்மியை வணங்குவதும், இறுதி 3 நாட்கள் கல்வி தேவியான மஹாசரஸ்வதியை வணங்குவதும் வழக்கம். இதுவே மரபும் ஆகும்.

'ராத்திரி' என்றால் மாற்றத்தை குறிக்கும். பூமி சுற்றுவது இயல்பு, பகலும் இரவும் மாறி மாறி வருவதற்கு இதுவே காரணம் ஆகும். ஆதி காலத்தில் இந்த மாற்றத்தை தாக்குப்பிடிக்க நவராத்திரி வழிபாடு செய்வது ஐதீகம். இதுவே அறிவியல் காரணமும் ஆகும்.

வ‌ர‌லாற்றில் இராம‌ன் இராவண‌னை 9 நாட்கள் போராடி வ‌த‌ம் செய்த‌தும், ம‌ஹிஷாசுர‌ன் என்னும் அசுர‌னை ம‌ஹாதேவியான காளி 9 நாட்கள் வ‌த‌ம் செய்த‌தும் நவராத்திரி பண்டிகையை கொண்டாட‌ காரணமாக‌ கூறுவ‌து உண்டு.

கொலு ஏன் வைக்கிறோம்? 'கொலு' என்றால் ஒரு பெரும் ப‌ல‌ம்(sovereign) பொருந்திய ஒருவர் அர‌ச‌வையில் அம‌ர்ந்திருப்ப்து என்று அர்த்த‌ம். இந்த‌ கொலு பொம்மைக‌ளை வைப்பதால் ம‌ஹிஷாசுரமர்த்தினியே வீட்டில் இருப்பது போல் நம்பிக்கையாம்.

ஈரம் - திரைவிமர்சனம்

நடிகர்+நடிகைகள்:-நந்தா, ஆதி, சரண்யா மோகன், சிந்து மேனன், சாயா சிங் மற்றும் பலர்.
இசையமைப்பு:-எஸ்.தாமன்
தயாரிப்பு:-"இயக்குநர்" ஷங்கர்
கதை+திரைக்கதை+வசனம்+இயக்கம்:-அறிவழகன்

தமிழில் திரையுலகில் ஒரு புதுமுயற்சி… மிரட்டலான படம் என்று இந்தப் படத்தைச் சொல்ல முடியாது. பல ஆங்கிலப் படங்களில் நாம் ஏற்கெனவே பார்த்த விஷயங்கள்தான். ஆனால் நம்பகமான ல'கதைப் பின்னணி' மற்றும் நல்ல 'உருவாக்கம்' மூலம் ஈரம் நம்மையும் நனைத்துவிடுகிறது.

சிந்து மேனனின் கல்லூரித் தோழர் ஆதி. நட்பு கவிதையான சில சந்திப்புகளுக்குப் பின் காதலாகிறது. அடுத்து கல்யாணத்துக்குப் போகும்போது சிந்துவின் தந்தை ஆதியின் வேலையைக் காட்டி (போலீஸ்) பெண்தர மறுக்க, நந்தாவுக்கு கழுத்தை நீட்டுகிறார் சிந்து.

சந்தேகப் பேர்வழியான நந்தாவிடம் சீரழிகிறது சிந்துவின் வாழ்க்கை. அக்கம்பக்கத்து மனிதர்களும் அவரவர் சொந்த லாபங்களுக்காக சிந்துவைப் பற்றிய தங்கள் கற்பனைகளை நந்தாவிடம் போட்டுக் கொடுக்க, ஒரு நாள் சைக்கோத்தனத்தின் உச்சத்துக்குப் போய் கொன்றே விடுகிறார் நந்தா.

இந்தக் கொலைக்குப் பின், பழிவாங்கலை ஆரம்பிக்கிறது சிந்துவின் ஆவி. அதற்கு தண்ணீரை கருவியாகத் தேர்ந்தெடுக்கிறது. அடுத்தடுத்து நிகழும் நூதன மரணங்கள் சற்று டென்ஷனாக்கும் சமாச்சாரம் தான். ஆரம்பக் காட்சிகள் மனதுக்குள் பெரும் ஆச்சரியக் குறிகளை எழுப்பும் அளவு திறமையாக, இறுக்கமாகப் படமாக்கப்பட்டுள்ளன.

ஒரு பெண் சமையலறைக் குழாயைத் திறக்கிறார். தண்ணீர் வரவில்லை. சலிப்புடன் மிக்சியைப் போடுகிறார். மின்சாரம் இல்லை. அப்போது போன் ஒலிக்கிறது. போய் எடுத்துப் பேசுகிறார். அவர் பேசிக்கொண்டிருக்கும்போதே தண்ணீர் வருகிறது. ஸிங்க் நிரம்பி, ஒரு கரண்டி நுனி வழியாக சமையலறையில் தாண்டி ஹால்வரை பரவுகிறது.

சில நொடிகளில் மின்சாரமும் வந்துவிடுகிறது. தண்ணீர், மின்கம்பி அறுந்திருக்கும் ஒரு பகுதிக்கும் அந்தப் பெண்மணி பேசிக்கொண்டிருக்கும் இடத்துக்கும் பரவுகிறது. தண்ணீர் விரைந்து அந்தப் பெண்ணின் குதிகாலை தொட… ஆ…! அடுத்த நொடி மரணப் படுக்கையில் பிணமாக அந்தப் பெண்!

தியேட்டர் பாத்ரூமில் 'அருவமாக' ஆனால் தண்ணீரில் கால் தடங்கள் பதிய ஆவி நடந்து போகும் காட்சிக்கு நிஜமாக ஒரு சல்யூட் போட வேண்டும்.

சிந்துமேனனின் ஆவி தங்கை வடிவில் வந்திருப்பதை முதல்முறையாக ஆதி உணரும் அந்தக் காட்சி மனதைச் அசற வைக்கிறது.

படம் முழுக்க ஈரம் ஒரு காரெக்டராகவே பயணிக்கிறது. அதை இயல்பாக காட்ட முயற்சித்திருப்பது ஒரு த்ரில்லர் கதை.

ஆதி... தமிழுக்கு அட்டகாசமான புதிய நாயகன் கிடைத்துள்ளார். வாய்ப்புகளை மிகச் சரியாகப் பயன்படுத்திக் கொணடால் சூர்யாவையே ஓரம்கட்டிவிடும் அசாத்திய திறமைசாலி இளைஞராகத் தெரிகிறார்.

வசன உச்சரிப்பிலும் அத்தனை நேர்த்தி. தென்னிந்திய சினிமாவில் பெரிய உயரங்களைத் தொடப் போகும் இளைஞர் என்பதற்கான அத்தனை அறிகுறியும் தெரிகிறது.

பக்கா திருச்சி மிடில்கிளாஸ் பெண் வேடத்தில் நன்றாக பொருந்துகிறார் சிந்துமேனன். நந்தா கொடுத்த காபியைக் குடித்துவிட்டு, அதில் விஷம் கலந்திருப்பதை அறிந்ததும் சோர்வு, உயிரைப்பிரியும் வலி அனைத்தையும் ஒரே ப்ரேமில் அவர் காட்டியிருக்கும் விதம் அற்புதம்.

நந்தாவிடமிருந்து மிகமிக இயல்பான வில்லத்தனம் வெளிப்பட்டுள்ளது. சைக்கோ வில்லத்தனத்தை, ரகுவரனுக்குப் பிறகு இத்தனை சிறப்பாகக் காட்டியிருப்பவர் நந்தாதான் என்று நினைக்கிறே.

தங்கை வேடத்தில் வரும் சரண்யா மோகனிடம் நல்ல நடிப்பு..

தமனின் இசையில் 3 பாடல்கள் நன்றாக வந்துள்ளது. பின்னணி இசை சிறந்த பக்க பலமாக கைகொடுத்துள்ளது. மனோஜ் பரமஹம்ஸாவின் ஒளிப்பதிவு இயக்குநருக்கு பெரும் பலம்.

கிராமங்களில் பாட்டிகள் சொல்லும் பேய்க் கதைதான்... ஆனால் அதையே நவீன உத்திகளுடன் அழுத்தமாகக் காட்சிப்படுத்தி முதல் படத்திலேயே வெற்றிபெற்றுள்ள்ள இயக்குநர் அறிவழகனுக்கு வாழ்த்துக்கள்!

Though hosts become guests, cherishing memories still exists

2009-09-15T08:38:00.000-07:00

A recent trip to Bangalore was planned with my dear colleagues/ friends. Yeah, it happened last weekend. The place where we had spent our lovely 4 years of life after started to work. It’s been quite a while, almost 9/10 months we haven’t been there. We felt we are missing that climate, food and memories of course. This trip was planned not to visit anyone, but just to carry forward and cherish the sweet and nice memories of myself and my dear friends.

When we remember this city it quickly recollects us with lot of past incidents and fun-times we had over the period of time. When it comes to weekends there, it reminds us a lot of things like getting up very late in the morning; approach a near-by mess to have a brunch (full meals in full swing); again come back to room and have good sleep; go for a night dinner again and finally back to bed. We did spend sometime in watching movies at night in some near-by local (Balaji, Mahalakshmi) and bit far decent theatres (PVR, INOX).

During our working period there, any tension or stress at office during the weekday’s gets easily waived off when we step into our room foreseeing an attractive weekend. And of course the weekend goes really nice while spending with friends. In parallel we have started discovering lot of hotels, coffee shops where we can hang around for a while just to have 1 or 2 hours of chat. These above said reasons did provoke a thought in us to plan for the trip there.

We have decided to stay in cousin’s house of one my friend who accompanied us. The main plan behind the trip is to cover all the good hotels, corner house (tasty ice-cream parlor), barista (coffee shop inside a 7-star Leela Palace) and a movie watch at PVR forum. The situation is like we have 2 days to spend and it gave us lot of hotel options to have lots of yummy food. Discussions started among us as soon as the train tickets are booked. Lot of hotel names like Tangerine, Mandarin, Empire, Krishna café were put in-front. We have decided finally on 3 places and decided to have a feast at corner house ice cream parlor, coffee at Barista.
We have been invited by one of our colleague (casually called as ‘Athimbaer’) for a Saturday’s lunch at his home. We have been told already to be bit careful; as he grows 2 breeds of giant pet dogs (German shepherd and other one not sure) at his home. He and his wife (casually called as ‘Mami’) came out of their house to welcome us. Fortunately those dogs were tied with rope and somehow we have managed to get into his home. I felt bit relived then. They belongs to Brahmin community and so the lunch what they offered us was awesome (Vatta kozhambu, poriyal, variety pappads and salad). It was a heavy lunch and we had a good time with them there. And now it’s the evening time and we have already planned to go for a movie at PVR multiplex. We did watch ‘Eeram’ - A thrilling Tamil movie there and lot of refreshment for eyes has been taken care too inside forum shopping mall. Movie got over and we have decided to go for dinner feast in one of the hotel which is present in our wish list. We had a profound dinner at Tangerine and we came back to our house for a sound sleep. We were so tired and we slept as soon we fall down on the bed.

Hunger alarm woke up all of us on Sunday morning. But still we have decided to skip our breakfast. Why so?? It’s not to compensate for the heavy dinner what we had previous night, but for the weighty lunch what we are going to have on Sunday afternoon. We rushed into Krishna café for a brunch at around 12pm and our feast carried on for half an hour with at least 3 rounds of rice. Still we are not yet done. We are waiting for 4pm to come so that we can go and have a cup of coffee at Barista and it did happen. Also we have spent 1 hour in Bowling at Amoeba. One of my friends is bit passionate on this game and he did prove himself as the best by winning the game among 4 of us. Well played dude!! . Now the time is 6 pm and its time to have 2/3 scoops of yummy ice-cream at Corner house parlor. This place is so famous and good for this. So its better not to miss this place right and we did swallow a lot. We spent 1 or 2 hours roaming here and there and awaiting for dinner time to come. Time passed so soon and we have reached Empire, the so called famous hotel for non-vegetarians especially for the grilled chicken. We did, sorry this time I did had a huge feast and the dinner was awesome and unforgettable.

We have covered all the places where we wished to spend and now its time to get the train to come back to Chennai. Though we have started back to Chennai as guests our thoughts and cherishing memories still prevails in Bangalore as hosts.

Business do needs some bribing

2009-09-12T20:55:00.000-07:00

Three contractors are bidding to fix a broken fence at the White House in D.C. One from Bangladesh, another from India and the third, from China. They go with a White House official to examine the fence.
The Bangladesh contractor takes out a tape measure and does some measuring, then works some figures with a pencil. "Well", he says, "I figure the job will run about $900. ($400 for materials, $400 for my team and $100 profit for me)". The Chinese contractor also does some measuring and figuring, and then says, "I can do this job for $700. ($300 for materials, $300 for my team and $100 profit for me)". The Indian contractor doesn't measure or figure, but leans over to the White House official and whispers, "$2,700." The official, incredulous, says, "You didn't even measure like the other guys! How did you come up with such a high figure?"
The Indian contractor whispers back, "$1000 for me, $1000 for you, and we hire the guy from China to fix the fence." "Done!” replies the government official.

Is it possible to quit smoking?

2009-09-09T08:01:00.000-07:00

It requires a lot of courage and will power to accept that you have a habit that has to be changed. You must feel very good about yourself. It is no easy task to accept one's weaknesses. Current estimates are that over 1 billion people in the world smoke. In other words, approximately one in three adults on the planet smokes. The total number of smokers worldwide is expected to keep increasing. These people are at higher risk of heart attack and stroke.

Most smokers begin early in life, before they are 25 years old. People all over the world are trying to quit. Many people use smoke to escape bad feelings or memories. Anger, Depression, Fatigue, Loneliness, Stress could be one of the major reasons which will urge us to smoke. The more educated and better informed people are, the more likely they are to stop smoking.

Quitting tobacco is a process. It doesn't happen overnight, but compared to the amount of time most of us spent smoking, recovery can be very quick, indeed. Have patience with yourself! This new skill takes some time to sharpe up, but you'll get better at it. Surround yourself with people who don't smoke. Friends who smoke may put pressure on you to continue smoking. If you don't want to give up relationships with your smoking friends, make a point not to hang out with them at least for a little while as you begin your attempt to quit.

Have a snack or a meal. If you are hungry, food is the answer, not a cigarette! If you're concerned about weight gain, try drinking water to help control between meal eating. Try different stress-busters like walking, exercise, a short nap, meal, coffee/Tea, fruits instead of cigaratte when you need a boost.

In case during the quitting process, what if you smoke again? Don't feel like a failure. Think about why you smoked and what you can do to keep from smoking again. Set a new stop date. Many ex-smokers did not succeed at first, but they kept trying.The first few days after stopping will probably be the hardest. Just remember that even one puff on a cigarette can cause a reversion, so don't risk it.

Smokers please take it seriously and your life depends on your decision only. Be mentally strong enough to take a good decision by staying away from Cigarattes. Don't give way to Cancer.

How to invest in stock markets??

2009-09-07T09:35:00.000-07:00

If you don’t have time to monitor and evaluate shares, leave it to the experts. Invest in Mutual Funds and don’t try to time the market. Start a Systematic Investment Plan- SIP-which is a way to put small amounts of money into the stock market at regular intervals.
When buying mutual funds, look for assets under management and management fee costs. Both of these are easily available on most websites like moneycontrol.com. Assets under management must be typically high, and management fees must not be very high typically 2-2.5%.
When investing in shares directly, always invest for the long term but monitor closely. If you set a target of 20-30% return from a particular share, don’t hesitate to take your profit if that target is met. Always evaluate shares for expensiveness by looking at a ratio called 'P/E'. Compare it with other companies of the same industry and size. P/E stands for Share Price to Equity Ratio it is nothing but the Share Price divided by the Earnings per Share. For example, a Company makes a profit of 10$ per share and is currently trading at 80$ its P/E is 8.In other words, investors are willing to pay 8 times as much as the company is making for every dollar or rupee.
Now to know whether the company is overpriced or not compare it with a similar company in the same industry. If its peer is trading at 4 or 5 then surely it the company you are looking at is overpriced. But if the peers are trading at 14-15 then u can consider buying the company provided other things are ok. There are so many things to consider while buying shares and P/E is just one of it. Make sure you understand this and I will get you the rest of the factors in my future posts. Keep reading.

சுதந்திரச் சிந்தனை

2009-09-05T09:36:00.001-07:00

நள்ளிரவில் பெற்றதால் சுதந்திரம் இன்னும் விழிக்கவில்லை,
பாரதி கண்ட கனவு பளிக்கவில்லை,
பாலைவனம் சோலைவனம் ஆகவில்லை,
காந்தி கண்ட ராமராஜ்யம் தழைக்கவில்லை,
நேரு கண்ட அமைதிப் பூங்கா பூக்கவில்லை.

ஆதியில் இல்லை ஜாதி,
பாதியில் வந்ததேன் யோசி,
காந்தியும் நேருவும் கண்ட பாதை,
அதை தேர்ந்திட உனக்கேன் உபாதை.

பாரத மண்ணே இனி உன்னை உலகம் போற்றும் நாடாக மாற்றுவோம், பாரதி கண்ட கனவை பளிக்க‌ச் செய்வோம்,
காந்தி கண்ட ராமராஜ்யம் தழைக்கச் செய்வோம்,
நேரு கண்ட அமைதிப் பூங்கா பூக்கச் செய்வோம்.

அடிமை விலங்கிட்டு நீ சிந்திய க‌ண்ணீரை செந்நீரால் குளிப்பாட்டி,
இன்னுயிர் ஈர்த்த த‌ங்க‌ங்க‌ளுக்கு இந்த‌ப் பொன் நாளில்,
உன் சீர‌டி போற்றி, வாழ்த்துவோமாக‌ , நீ வாழி வாழி வாழி!!!

Dr.Abdul Kalam's few famous quotes.

2009-09-04T11:23:00.000-07:00

2. We should not give up and we should not allow the problem to defeat us.
3. You have to dream before your dreams can come true.
4. As a child of God, I am greater than anything that can happen to me.
5. Life is a difficult game. You can win it only by retaining your birthright to be a person.
6. Climbing to the top demands strength, whether it is to the top of Mount Everest or to the top of your career.
7. Do we not realize that self respect comes with self reliance?
8. God, our Creator, has stored within our minds and personalities, great potential strength and ability. Prayer helps us tap and develop these powers.

10. To succeed in your mission, you must have single-minded devotion to your goal.

How to maintain fairness/improve complexion in our face

2009-09-02T09:20:00.000-07:00

In general complexion refers to the natural color and appearance of the skin of a person. Human skin color can range from black to pinkish white. Women have slightly lighter skin than men.
People originated from sunny regions have darker skin color than people from regions of less sunlight. Nature has gifted human body to protect itself from any harmful effects of sun. Therefore, people who live for long periods in sunny regions, i.e. near the Equator regions have larger quantities of melanin, a protein molecule in their skins to protect them against high levels of exposure to the sun. This makes their skins dark brown or black. Below are the few simple steps which we can follow in our day to day routine life. They are so simple and will not consume much of our time. 1. Avoid using soaps for washing our face. Rather go for some face wash moisturizers. Use it to wash your face twice a day (Morning & Night). Soap products contain more chemical substances and hence produce more lather. 2. Skin may be Oily or dry in nature. So selecting the moisturizer depends on the nature of skin you have. Dry skin people should go for a oily moisturizer and vice-versa. 3. Wash your face with cold water once in 2/3 hrs daily to keep skin bit away from oily nature. 4. Consume some fresh fruit juices at least once a day. Prefer juices of fruits which possess good vitamin-C content. 5. Go for a short walk in the morning before 10 AM or in the evening after 3 PM. In between time, the UV penetration from Sun is more and it will tare the skin. Early morning & late evening sun are the rich source of vitamin-C & D contents.

Please make way for ambulances

2009-08-31T08:42:00.000-07:00

Every minute counts when a person's life is at danger. Think of a situation if an ambulance gets stuck in a heavy traffic jam. What else the ambulance driver can do?? We have to put the blame on patient's fate, whose life is at stake.

The basic senseless act what we do normally is trying to block the way for ambulance, though we are very much aware that its going to cost a person's life. It some time frustrates all. Just put yourself in this situation and think that how you react when someone is blocking your way. Wont you get irritated soon?? Wont you get angry soon?? Its the same feeling for all.

Though there are lot of ambulances equipped with lot of emergency medical facilities in itself, there are some bad times when the patient needs to be admitted to a hospital for a critical operation/surgery. Government cannot afford to put a separate road for the ambulances. We being humans, should have the basic sense in our-self, which has to pave way for ambulances in times of emergency.

There are many cases where the patient could have survived if he had been taken to the hospital on time. But our stupid motorists never think about this possibility at all. Ambulance drivers can expect some help from the traffic police, but not all the times. They can't do anything when a huge traffic jam happens. So during these times the each and every motorists, who are standing near-by the ambulance in signal should cooperate and give them a free space. So that they can pass the traffic easily and life of a person can be saved. Please all motorists bear that in mind.

So what else we can do to prevent this sort of incidents going forward. One good suggestion what I feel is, bring a LAW and book a crime against the motorists who does not leave way for emergency vehicles. There are many countries where the people are very much disciplined and never pray for the person in stake. However it is the LAW which prevails in those countries saves the life of many people .

One of us Only.......

2009-08-30T09:52:00.000-07:00

The topic looks bit funny, but yes that was the statement which made us(me & my 4 college friends) bit popular during my college days. Till we enter into our 2nd year of college life, we were very silent students and also we were one among the so called fruits. Days went on and we have completed our 1st year as a fruit cum studious guys. Most of my friends including me had a habit of going to our college for food during initial days.. Our college is renowned for serving a good tasty food(both Veg & Non-veg).. Break-fast and lunch was awesome.. We are lucky students..

Now we have stepped into our 2nd year of engineering, we have lot of subject based theories and lab sessions to overcome(Oh my God).. We were so busy in continuing with our sighting profession very seriously. Never left a senior also on this aspect. Got a chance to move with new bunch of friends.. Wow that was a good time.. We too had lot of lab practical sessions as a part of syllabus in our 2nd year. One among them was our 'Electrical Lab session'. We are ECE students and we had to clear our EEE electrical lab to complete our 2nd year. No one was very sure how the circuits and electrical devices looks like, though we had a theoretical idea.

When we entered into our electrical lab for the first time, there was a batch formation to do the practical session. That was the time I joined with 4 of my friends to form a 5 member batch for doing the lab exercises. There was demo session held and now its time for us to do the practical session by our-self to show the output. We never listened to any demo session as usual. Every batch started their work and we 5 of us also brought the necessary devices and instruments to start doing the experiment. All were bit tensed as it is a EEE lab and voltage supply for all the circuits is 220V(home voltage supply). We all were expecting some shocks. All 5 of us were involved in some part of work during the lab session. One guy brought the needed components, another fellow started giving the connection based on the diagram, another fellow was adjusting the values of all electrical components, one guy was checking the connections in parallel, the last guy is the lucky guy to switch on the power supply..

Connections were given, circuit is ready and now its time to start the power supply and supply is given now. There is a electrical device by name rheostat to control the current supply. We have used that device in our circuit to control the current flow. By mistake one guy from our batch(name not to be shared) has started operating that device wrongly and current supply started flowing in more. Within some fraction of time, more current started flowing into the device and it has reached the maximum current tolerance level. What else it will do then... The device got burst-ed finally.

Oops!!! Not only it got burst-ed but also it went up flying in the air and then it fell down by making a huge noise. All in our batch got shocked and very scared after seeing this. But unfortunately, our other near-by batch mates have seen these device flying and they have started appreciating our master-piece of work with a huge round of applauds(claps) in front of our EEE lab staffs. So we 5 of us got caught red handed. So its time for us to meet to EEE HOD and other lab staffs for a interrogative sessions. All the staffs have started shooting the same question on 5 of us. The Question was 'Who among your 5 ppl have done this act??'.. It was a timing and we all 5 have replied to all of them with the same Answer. The answer was bit funny, but that was the answer we have to give to protect all 5 of us.
The Answer what we have given them was 'One of us Only'.

After hearing this rubbish answer all staffs got irritated and they have started asking each and everyone of us separately the same question. This time also our Answer was the same to all. We have irritated them to the max and they have decided to give us 3 days of office duty. Which means we 5 of us should not attend any theory class and we have to stand in front of the EEE lab for 3 days. We have decided to accept that valuable golden offer and we stood for almost 2 days. Those 2 days were very memorable, as we 5 of us had a chance to sight all the department girls of all the years who had EEE lab sessions. Should thank EEE HOD for giving us a nice opportunity. During the course of 2nd day, one of the EEE lab-in-charge staff asked us the same Question and again our Answer was 'One of us Only'. He too got irritated and started threatening us by telling that the circuit what we damaged was around 5000 Rs. In fact we got to know at last that the cost to repair the circuit what we have damaged was around 200 Rs only. Bull-shit lab-in-charge cheated us.

Our 3 days of Office Duty got completed and now its a boring time. We have to attend our theory classes. We have to sit inside the class for that. We again went to lab and stood outside for 4th day to bunk the theory classes. This time EEE HOD is very cautious. He called and told us that our punishment period was over and now its time for us to attend the class. We 5 of us went half-halfheartedly in to our class. All my friends have started asking lot of Questions. Questions like 'What happened??' , 'How you came out of official duty ??', 'How much fine was collected from you ppl'?.. At last again we heard the same dirty Question from one of my friend. The Question was 'Who among you 5 ppl have done the mistake ??'.. Our answer to my friend was again 'One of us Only'..

'One of us' is a valid answer... But we itself don't know why we replied as 'One of us Only' to all.. May be to confuse everyone.

Nangellam seriyana Kalloori mangan'nunga pa.. Oru vazhiya EEE staff ellarukkum Kuchi mittayum, kuruvi rottiyum koduthachu...

Kandasamy movie - A short review

2009-08-24T07:39:00.000-07:00

Cheeyan Vikram and Shriya played the lead roles. Vikram is a CBI officer and Shreya is a daugher of a big shot Aashish Vidyathi, who is one among the big money launderer's in city. Supporting roles done by Prabhu, who played a DIG officer role, Telugu actor Krishna acted as CBI chief officer, to whom Vikram reports to. Vadivelu's comedy track is totally unnecessary to this story, though 2/3 comedy tracks of him have come out well. Susi Ganesan directed this movie, it was produced by Kalaipuli Dhanu and music compostion was done by D.S.Prasad.

Movie had earlier setup a higher expectation. I was expecting a movie of 'Robin hood' type. But when I had a chance to watch this movie, I never felt anything new has been done. Movie was shot in India and some part in Mexico.

Basic thought of movie subject was 'Rich gets richer and poor becomes poorer'. Story begins with a network of school friends tries to change the above said statement by starting to solve poor people's money problems through rich people's black money. Hero's introduction with a different costume was nice. Costume design and get-up's are really the plus point for this movie. Story sequence can be easily judged, though some part of the story was kept secret for some time.
I would say this movie is a mere combination of Sivaji (Money laundering), Indian (Anti-corruption) and Ramana (network of school friends carry out activities to prevent money laundering and corruption). Kandasamy has a mix of all subjects in it. 'Alegrah' and 'Excuse me' songs have come out well.

Basic belief among people is that, Lord Kandasamy will solve their problems when they write their request in a bit of paper and tie it in a tree located in front of Lord Kandasamy temple. Actually Prabhu will find out at last that it is Vikram and his network (school friends) are helping to solve the poor people's money problems on Lord's behalf by making use of the big shot's black money, who are involved in large money laundering scandals. Climax part gets over by conveying a strong message to the society at the end.

Screenplay is a plus point. Though it goes for 31/2 hours, I never felt boring at all during the course of the movie. Cinematography was nice. Photorgraphy was good too. I would say D.S. Prasad's BGM is a key factor for this movie's successful screenplay. It was carrying the movie so nicely all the way.

Cheeyan's fans can watch this movie once or twice. For others it’s a one time watch.

எதில் சிறந்து விளங்கினால் என்ன.. வாழ்க்கையில் முன்னேற்றம் தான் முக்கியம்..

ஒரு ஊரில் ஒரு கணக்கு வாத்தியார் இருந்தார். அவர் பெயர் ரங்கசாமி. ஊரே அவரை மரியாதையுடன் வணங்கியது. அவருக்கு மனைவி, ஒரு மகன் மற்றும் ஒரு மகள் உண்டு. மகன் பெரியவன், பெயர் முருகன். மகள் ராதா. பள்ளிக்கூடத்தில் 10-ஆம் வகுப்பு வரை கணக்கு சொல்லி கொடுத்து வந்தார் ரங்கன்.. அவர் மகனும் அதே பள்ளியில் 6-ஆம் வகுப்பிலும், மகள் 4-ஆம் வகுப்பிலும் படித்து வந்தனர். நல்ல பாசமான குடும்பம் அது.

வாத்திக்கு அவன் மகன் கணக்கு வாத்தியார் ஆக வேண்டும் என்று ஒரு பெரிய ஆசை. மகன் முருகன் படிப்பில் சற்று மட்டம் தான். அவனுக்கு கணக்கு பாடம் சுட்டு போட்டாலும் 'வரும் ஆனா வராது'. அதே வகுப்பில் மூட்டை தூக்கும் ராமசாமி மகன் குமரன் நன்கு படித்து வந்தான். கணக்கில் நூற்றுக்கு நூறு எடுப்பான். தன் பாடத்தில் நன்கு படிப்பதால், வாத்திக்கு குமரன் மேல் கொள்ள இஷ்டம். தன் மகனை அவருக்கு பிடிக்கவே பிடிக்காது. கணக்கில் மதிப்பெண் குறைவாக வாங்குவதால், தினமும் வீட்டில் அவரிடம் பிரம்படி வாங்குவான் முருகன். தாய் லட்சுமி எவ்வளவு தடுத்தும் அடி மிகவும் பலமாக தான் விழும்.
பாவம் மகன். என்ன செய்வான், அவனால் அவ்வளவு தான் படிக்க முடிந்தது.

நாட்கள் சென்றன. அப்போது முருகன் 9-ஆம் வகுப்பு படித்து வந்தான். சில நாளில் முருகனுக்குள் இருக்கும் திறமை வெளியே வர தொடங்கியது. அவன் மின்சாரம் மூலம் இயங்கும் வானொலி மற்றும் அழைப்பொலி போன்ற வற்றை செய்யும் திறனை வெளிக்காட்டினான். இதை கண்டு பூரிப்பு அடைந்தனர் அவன் தாய், தங்கை மற்றும் சுற்ரத்தினர். ஆனால் 'படிப்பே வராது உனக்கு எதுக்கு இந்த கண்டு பிடிப்பு என்று சொல்லி', அதை தூக்கி குப்பை தொட்டியில் போட்டார் கணக்கு வாத்தி தந்தை. சோகத்தில் குமுறி அழுது அடங்கினான் மகன். தாய் அவனை ஆறுதல் படுத்தி பள்ளிக்கூடம் தங்கையுடன் போ என்று வழி அனுப்பி வைத்தாள்.

சரியாக படிக்காததால் நல்ல மதிப்பெண் முருகனால் எடுக்க முடியவில்லை. 10-ஆம் வகுப்பு பொதுத் தேர்வில் 60 விழுக்காடு மட்டுமே அவனால் எடுக்க முடிந்தது. கணக்கில் நூற்றுக்கு ஐம்பது மதிப்பெண் தான் எடுத்தான். மற்ற பாடங்களிலும் எழுவதை தாண்ட வில்லை அவன். ஆத்திரம் அடைந்தார் வாத்தி. பிரம்படி மீண்டும் தொடங்கியது. என்னோட ஆசை மீது இப்படி மண்ணு அள்ளி போட்டுட்டியே என்று சொன்ன வாரே விடாமல் அடித்து ஓய்ந்தார். வீடே சோகத்தில் இருந்தது.

ஒரு வாரம் கழித்து முருகன் தந்தையிடம் பாலிடெக்நிக் படிக்க வேண்டும் என்று கூறினான். எதையாவுது படித்து தொல என்று சொல்லி விட்டு பள்ளிக்கு கிளம்பினார்.
சற்று காலத்தில் பாலிடெகினிக் படிப்பை முடித்து டிப்ளமா'வும் முடித்தான். மூன்று வருடங்கள் சென்றன. வாத்தி'க்கும் வர வர உடம்பு சரி இல்லாம போக ஆரம்பித்தது. வெறும் 6000 ரூபாய் சமப்ளம் வாங்கி வந்த அவரால் குடும்பச் செலவையும், மருந்து செலவையும் சமாளிக்க முடியவில்லை. மகன் வேலை தேட ஆரம்பித்தான். அவனோட திறமைக்கு ஒரு வாரத்திலேயே அவனுக்கு ஒரு நல்ல கம்பணியில் மெக்கானிக்'காக வேலை கிடைத்தது. மாதச் சம்பளம் 8000 ரூபாய் என்று தன் தாய் தந்தையிடம் சொன்னான். தாய் மிக்க மகிழ்ச்சி அடைந்தாள். தந்தை வாழ்த்த வாயின்றி வாழ்த்தினார்.

இது நடந்த இரண்டு வாரத்திற்கு பிறகு தந்தை உடம்பு மிகவும் மோசமானது. மருத்துவமனையில் சேர்க்க வேண்டிய கட்டாயம் ஏற்பட்டது. நல்ல வேளை மகன் சம்பாதிப்பதால் குடும்பத்தில் பணத் தட்டுப்பாடு தெரியவில்லை. உடம்பு சரியாகி குணமான தந்தை தன் மகனை பார்க்க வேண்டும் என்று ஆசைபட்டார். மகன் அவரை பார்க்க வந்தான். 'என்னை மன்னிப்பாயா என்று தன் மகனை கட்டிப் பிடித்து கதறி அழ ஆரம்பித்தார் தந்தை. உன்னை எவ்வளவோ கஷ்டப் படுத்தி இருக்கிறேன். அப்படி இருந்தும் என்னை, நீயும் உன் பணமும் தான் காப்பாற்றியது என்றார் வாத்தி'. இதற்கு உடனே மகன் இது என் கடமை என்றுச் சொல்லி அவரை ஆறுதல் படுத்தினான்.

முடிவில் தந்தை அவனை ஒரு நாள் அழைத்து அவனிடம் கூறியதாவது. 'மகனே, நீ கணக்கில் சிறந்து விளங்க வேண்டும் என்று ஆசை பட்டு உன் ஆசை என்ன வென்று அறிய மறந்தேன். இறுதியில் உன் திறமையாலும் உழைப்பாலும் நீ வாழ்க்கையில் முன்னேற்றம் அடைந்தாய்' என்றார்.

என்னோட கருத்து : எது செய்கிறோம் என்பது முக்கியம் இல்லை. எவ்வாறு செய்தால் முன்னேறலாம் என்பது தான் முக்கியம். பிடித்த ஒன்றை எடுத்துச் செய்வதை விட, கிடைத்த ஒன்றைப் பிடித்துச் செய்தால் வாழ்க்கையில் சீக்கிரம் முன்னேற்றப் பாதைக்கு போலாம்.. இது தான் இன்றைய சிந்தனை.

Journey to my first Industrial visit...

2009-08-19T07:45:00.000-07:00

Everyone carry their college sweet memories with them till they die.. I too had one huge fun time which happened during the onward journey to my first industrial visit trip to a thermal power plant located at Mettur. Wow what a nice trip it was.

We all have decided to board the booked bus at Besant Nagar bus stop at 8 PM in the evening. Me and my college friends have planned well to reach there in advance. Our college gets over at 3:30 PM itself. So we have ample of time to reach there in advance.

Note : Plan was not to get early into the bus, but should be the last one to get into the bus..

Then why we we went early. Not getting it.. Yeah we have decided to go and booze and it was my first time too.. We spent some time there and it was time to get into the bus.. We were approaching the bus and soon one of my friend gave us Tirupathi Ladoo(prashatham).. But that time it was the only side dish we had after coming out from there. So we all swallowed that so quickly..

Bus started from there and all of us started making noise. One of our college Assistant HOD accompanied us for the trip. We were singing and dancing in the bus. Soon we reached Tambaram and there was no battery with us to play some songs in walk-man's.. So we asked our driver to stop the bus somewhere near some stationery shop. One of my friend who didn't boozed with us at Besant Nagar decided to booze and he went to that shop to get some drinks instead of batteries. We have somehow managed to take that one into the bus with getting caught in the hands of our Asst.HOD.

Soon he noticed that we were making more noise and he found out that some guys are not in a stable state. It was b'coz of the following songs what were singing gave him the clue I guess. 'Sorgam madhuvile sokkum azhagile', 'Thanni thotti thedi vantha kannu kutti'..
He came and advised me & my friends to be quiet and be in control.. We kept quiet. Again we have started having the drinks what my friend bought at Tambaram. So kicku thalaikku mela yeridichhu'ngo..

We 3/4 of us have lost our control a bit and started hitting our own friends. We torn some of our friends shirts and plucked some shirt buttons of them.. They were getting restless. But we were non-stop and we were continuously irritating everyone in the bus. It was time to go for a pizz and we have asked driver to stop the bus. He replied that he will stop after sometime. But it was very urgent and we all have shouted 'We want to pizz' in a chorus rhythmically inside the bus in front of our staff. He asked the driver to stop the bus. He was losing his patience. We got into the bus and we went back to our seats for a small sleep.

One of my friend asked me to give him back his 500 bucks which he gave me before boarding into the bus. I said I will give it to him later. The real fact is that he gave me only 50 bucks and he demanded 500 bucks when we were in unstable state. Soon we 3/4 of us got up and started going to each and everyone's seat to disturb their sleep. We have decided not to let anyone to sleep. It was around 4 am in the morning we reached Krishnagiri. So driver stopped the bus in front of one tea shop. All guys have started going down to have a cup of tea. One of my friend who was bit short was sleeping in a 2 seater. Everyone got down and I was the last one to get down. I tried waking him up.. No way.. I gave him a slap on his head and came down. The guy whom I thought was sleeping in the bus was pizzing outside the bus. Then I had a look at inside the bus to see who was that guy really sleeping.. It was a shocking time for me, it was my staff who got up showing some signs of pain on his head. I kept quiet and went to have the tea..

Finally we have reached that place. The next day morning all other friends started shouting at 3/4 of us for plucking their shirt buttons and disturbing them. We asked them 'Is it so????'. We asked them please tell us in detail what happened yesterday night.

Chitapphu - Ithu Valibha vayasu :)

A day I spent in police station during my college days

2009-08-17T18:53:00.000-07:00

Dear friends,

All are not so fortunate to step into our mother-in-law's house(police station).. During my college days I had a chance to visit that place once without any prior invitation from there.. My college friend also was bit fortunate to accompany me there..

I am going to tell you what was happened before we both were taken there now.. Take your time to read the incidents...

It was a bright sunny morning on one Saturday when we both have decided to go to T.Nagar for a purchase(not for sighting any girls in Ranganathan st.. Naanga nalla pasanga).. We both were not having bike that time[I don't have it till now :) ].. So we have decided to take a MTC bus.

Around 10 AM in the morning we went to Triplicane bus stop to get route no 12/13 bus which goes to T.Nagar.. We were waiting for the bus(seriously without sighting any girls)..

Since we were standing in front of Rathna cafe, the smell of Idli-Vada-Sambar made us to step inside that hotel to have our breakfast.. I had 4 plates of Idli's and 3 vadas.. Note : I drank two cups of Sambar(as we don't need to pay for it seperately).. Getti chuttni was also good.. We had our breakfast and came out to get the bus..

Soon one lady of around 30/35 years of age approached us with a small boy.. She was asking us some routes and bus no's.. Since she was bit old and not good looking, we both were not much interested in telling her the details.. She told us to keep that small boy with us for 2 mins.. We asked why???? She said she want to go to rest room.. She said she will come back soon and take the small boy from us.. We thought ok and told her to go and come back soon...

We three(me,my friend and small brat) were standing in that bus stand.. Nearly 4/5 buses to T.Nagar crossed us.. She didn't come back.. We are waiting for her to hand over the kid back to her.. Almost 30 mins went and it was around 11 am.. Another 15 mins went passed by..

That idiot stupid little brat started crying.. Ok ok.. Hope you all know why he has started to cry and what he is going shout for.. All would have thought that he is going to tell "Amma, Amma, Amma or Mom, mom...... "...

This time the little devil boy screwed our happiness and started shouting as "Appa, Appa, Appa...." by looking at me.. I got embarrassed and we have decided to escape from that place and leave that boy there alone..

So now the time has come, a police jeep crossed us and one police fellow have seen three of us and that boy was crying with his loud voice(calling me as Appa). I was holding his hands too.. He stopped the jeep, came near to me and asked who is that boy.. I said I don't know and told he came with a lady, who didn't turned back..

He was not believing us.. Fortunately that boy stopped shouting when the police fellow came near to us.. So soon he started to cry again and told me "Appa" thrice in front of that fellow.. I was gone case.. That fellow looked at me with a rude face.. I guess he has decided that we are the kidnapper's.. So we both have been taken to near by Triplicane police station for an investigation..

First time we are in mother-in-law's house.. Investigation started very decently.. 2/3 police men asked us lot of questions like where you got his boy from ?? who is that lady?? how she looks like??... We answered all their queries.. Finally one guy started putting blame on us and decided to book a case against us.. We both got angry and started giving him a non-sense answers.. He in turn got pizzed off and started kicking us.. That police wala gave me one kick on my stomach in front of everyone in station.. I shouted so loudly, loudly and it made my dad to get up.. My dad then kicked me and woke me up from a deep sleep.. When I got up it was the same bright sunny morning on one Saturday and the time was around 8 AM. Fortunately my dad kicked me bit early or else I would have got more beatings from that police wala.. I have thanked my father for helping me to come out of that situation.. Ella - Don't worry be happy................................

Music - The truly lovable companion of all ages

2009-08-17T08:00:00.000-07:00

I started writing this post by listening to a nice melody song in parallel. 'Music' - one of the God's gift to humans in this universe. It has its own penetrating power and it does travels so deeply into each and everyone's heart and mind. It originates from a normal sound, though we don't like to hear some irritating sounds.

In this current fast moving world, its bit difficult to stay away from music honestly. People who likes be alone most of the times, really love the music. To be frank I am a sort of guy who loved to be always alone. So this invisible mesmerizing music became a close companion of my life. Music keeps our body, mind and soul in a relaxed state always. Music makes me to sing most of the times too.

In my view, if you are able to love the minute parts of music and if you are able to take your mind deeply into the music world, then I hope you will get a good level of imagination. Here I meant imaginary power as the ability to think of different situations in different environments in contrast with the same music running in your mind.

Lord keeps us happy sometimes by taking away sadness from us Vice versa sometimes too. But fortunately he let the beautiful music to stay with me all the times. The taste of music varies across each and every individual. But the feel what every individual get when he/she listens to his/her favorite music is always the same. Its a beautiful feeling!!!!

To end this post, I make a point that love music and dedicate a part of your life to music too. We may feel joy or sad, our dear music will make us peaceful always. Hence its time for to thank our Almighty, who has gifted this invisible mesmerizing penetrating sound..

Love music, Love this lovely world and lovely life....

Memories are very beautiful and sometimes painful too.......

2009-08-15T21:57:00.000-07:00

Life is always practical though there are lot of emotions involved in it. Every human being does have their own way of reacting to each and every incidents happen in their life. Life is so beautiful for all throughout its course of time. It depends on each and every individual on how they take their life with them. Whatever happens life has to go on, this is the basic mental focus which everyone should have.

Fortunately or unfortunately each and everyone's life does have its own memories. Memories are sometimes very beautiful and lovely to cherish. But the same mind recollecting thoughts (memory) may make our heart bit painful sometimes too.

I started with my schooling, where I was so good in making friends. though never thought that time like who are going to there with me till the end. It was a always a nice weekends during my schooling days, where we got used to play cricket regularly. Life was so going good during those days. I spent 10 years of life with my dear school friends. Very caring and kind in nature. Once I got into a college life, fate has decided to move me out from that good friends. Me and my family was forced to shift our house base to a place near to my College. The day when I shifted my house, I still remember one of my school friend came running behind the vehicle to express his solitude. I felt bit dejected that day when we have moved out from there. It was the place where I had a cherishing memory of nearly 10 years.

Got into my college life, fate has once again decided to gift me with a new set of good heart-ed and caring friends. Life went on smoothly for next 4 years. Though felt sometimes that I missed my school friends. These new friends started getting much closer and slowly they were trying to replace my school friends. Still I got a chance to meet them once in 2/3 months. College life was very nice and preparations were going in parallel for out campus interviews as well. Lost in most of the interviews and finally got selected in one with a good offer. I felt happy that time and I still remember the day when many of friends who prayed for me and congratulated me along with my parents. That day God has shown me who are my best friends till now.

Its now for a time to move into a professional world. There are many times where I have been forced to show my professionalism with my batch mates who got selected along with me during the campus interview. My work location made me to stay away from my family life for a period of nearly 4 years. Again in this professional world I have been able to grab the good friends, who are so genuine and affectionate. Being away from family, friends are always a good companions to spend time with. Life has started teaching me lot of new lessons in this professional world. I was able to cope-up in this world with the support and advice of all my good friends of all the times.

Now I am back to my home town and I feel I have started missing my good friends who were there with me for nearly 4 years( when I was working away from my family). Memories are always very nice to cherish and at the same time they are really painful sometimes too. I can't again go back and live my old schooling days, college days and working days(initial years). Fate is more powerful than my action and it has taken those days from me so quickly.

I don't know what fate has decided to do for me in the future. I hope at least this time it will give me a good cherish-able memories.
