My painting:Indian classical dance...........
It had been a year since the Japanese origin word "TSUNAMI" shook(WASHED OFF) the entire coastal areas(TAMILNADU,NAGAI,KANNIYAKUMARI and also Indonesia,Srilanka,........).Today the very first word I heard (OFCOURSE SECOND TO "Mani ena aachu?...Endhirida kannu ;) ) was The Yacky RJ screaming "GOOD MORNING. Tsnamiyaala badhika pattavanga elarukum engaloda anudhabangal.......And this is ur favourite RJ ..........................".Then the whole show was about this TOPIC. No one forgot to use this word. For every Media had this word heard/seen/read! It is understandable. And ofcourse even today those SAD/HEART BREAKING VIDEOS & PHOTOGRAPHS are like just printed 1's in our MIND& HEART. All of us were quite generous and humane enough to help them. There were infact so many volunteers that many (had no work to be assigned & so) were not assigned any work but just remained as a supportive hand.Now with all the funds raised by the Govt. & private organization some how the survivors have made it. Many of them were one lucky (Rather unlucky to be left alone) person left behind the killer waves. And they could hardly (try to) forget those sad memories.
Today almost all the Satlt Tamil Channels (?Upto my knowledge!) had been repeatedly heating up those DEC 26' 2004 Cassettes ,they kept re-re-re-retelecasting the same video for almost the whole 24. But what is the necessity to keep airing those heartbreaking videos!!!!!!!!! Does it help any? the survivors, u, me................. ?? And the survivors would have probably been crying the whole day.....Seeing those videos. It would infact remind the tsunami survivors of their worst nightmare. Are the private satellite channels trying to showoff that their video collection is better than the other.Instead they could have showed us what the survivors are doing now, how they are adjusting to the new life style, in what condition is the tsunami relief works , rehabilitation .......... Lots of other things to show. They could educate us on the tsunami & other such unexpected catastrophes and their symptoms. It had already been known that before the tsunami is going to hit, the sea would recede few meters. But on the day tsunami hit our coastal parts, this did happen and because of our lack of knowledge in this regard many of the fishermen, regular joggers and others had been looking at this site in astonishment than getting away. For there are other things that the common people are not aware of, the private channels could educate people on various such things.
NOTE:Here is A favorite work of mine that I had completed earlier during my vacations.

Politics begins with controversy, argument, competition or rivalry. If the controversy, argument, competition or rivalry is a genuine one for some kind of improvement or development, it is welcome. We should always keep it in mind that there are unnecessary controversies, there are unnecessary arguments , there are unhealthy competitions and there are ugly rivalries .One way or the other all these elements are working against unity .
Among the students, normally the ideal unity is expected. Students community is an excellent example of social harmony cutting across all boundaries such as religious, linguistic, regional, political, national and communal. This type of unity cannot be found in any other social organization. We should appreciate this phenomenon and develop this to further heights with due care and concern.]The present Scenario of the student community is rather different which causes concern and worries to the teachers & parents. ‘What is it that causes concern & worries?’ Among the students, we find now some kind of discrimination between the new entrance & the seniors. This discrimination gives rise to superiority complex to a few as well as inferiority complex to many . As a result of this sometimes, the false ego of the seniors is hurt and at some other times the genuine self-respect of the new entrance is perturbed . When it crosses a limit , group are formed among students. The unity is disturbed. Each group wants to show that they are superior to others. In order to achieve this they begin to make use of foul plays and illegitimate tactics which ultimately leads to violent politics.Whether they are willing or not willing , the teachers at some point of time have to handle the problems pertaining to students politics in addition to their routine responsibility .How do the Teachers look at the Students politics?
Teachers view:
Of course there are some teachers who are very sympathetic, kind, and considerate with parental care.They try to understand the different dimensions of the problems of the students. They know that youth community cannot be a group of Sadhus. According to them ,the youth should behave like youth . But at the same time they should be aware of their own limits . Youth can enjoy freedom but the freedom will be meaningful only when there is a sense of discipline & responsibility. If there is no sense of discipline and responsibility in a community, then there cannot be any freedom at all .Even the games are bound by rules. The teachers try to make the students understand their limits by using their authority or affection . Such teachers do not hate the students nor they are angry with the students . There are also some other teachers who are furious about the students’ violence. They are not able to tolerate the mischief’s of the ‘tiny devils’.They want to punish the wrong doers then and there.
Most of the teachers are of the opinion that the students politics can be kept under control provided the following aspects are given due attention,
2) Cultivating a good team spirit among the students by introducing the concept of working group, discussion etc.,
3) Cultivating good interpersonal relationship by language and activities
4) Modifying the behaviour by award and punishment
5) Encouraging the students by giving special credits for the personal conduct and culture
6) Giving proper counseling with out hurting the ego of the students
7) Cultivating mutual understanding and tolerance of opposition in the minds of the students
Students community of India is going to be responsible for building the future nation . Teachers are mainly responsible for shaping the students community in the proper way . Teachers can accomplish this task marvelously well provided they are given the authority with out any interference from any side in any manner.
The present day students do not seem to be interested in politics at all . According to them the individual freedom and democracy are not given due importance in any political party. The students community is not prepared to sacrifice the individual freedom and the democracy There may be many other reasons as well. However students are not interested in entering into the real politics. Teachers in general are very happy about this. Most of the teachers are of the opinion that the present day students are brighter, more courageous, more self-confident and more considerate. If suitable opportunities are given to them they can perform better and they can become professional in a shorter period of time – shorter than the time their elders took .According to the teachers, the students politics can be kept under control provided the following aspects are given due attention,1) Providing a good academic atmosphere
2) Cultivating a good team spirit among the students by introducing the concept of working group, discussion etc.,
3) Cultivating good interpersonal relationship by language and activities
4) Modifying the behaviour by award and punishment
5) Encouraging the students by giving special credits for the personal conduct and culture
6) Giving proper counseling with out hurting the ego of the students
7) Cultivating mutual understanding and tolerance of opposition in the minds of the students
On the whole Teachers want their students to hold good positions and to contribute their might to make the country a stronger and richer one.

After a long time am blogging today. My xamz got over around the end of last month. Lot'a things happened by that time. For the first time in our life we had our Exams postponed........For unexpected Cyclones hit Tamilnadu,India. Many of the villages were flooded. Not to forget that few years back there was heavy drought in many parts of Tamilnadu & with this seasons rainfall there will be no sign of drought for atleast another 5 years IF proper arrangements are made for preserving the water ....... Will come to that later. For now ,here is a small piece of my work that i was unto for the past few weeks.Have done about 10 Frames...Am trying my hand on glass painting for the first time, I feel ......I got to improve a lot.Iam only used to drawing in paper, Painting<>,Pencil sketching.......have to really improve on glass painting. This holiday i spent quite some time on playing a strategy game that my brother got me long time back.(Civilization III -I have one thong to say ' Am glad we are all now living in a civilizED world'.It is a great GAME. But Just a GAME.I keep reminding myself about that while playing.) Will Yap more in my next blog..Time to go............

How was the day? Kind'a SMOKY here.
While i was thinking about the last blog of mine.....To be clear, Am Not the GRINCH here!
Wish you all a very happy ,SAFE AND SOUND Deepavali(Diwali) All I wanted to say was
Diwali = bursting crackers -for kids.
Diwali = Doing some good deed- for Grownups.
It is upto you ,about the way you are going to act.....
whether as a grownup or as a kid
That doesnt bother me at all. On this occasion while you budget the expenditure for the
celebration..try to spend atleast 10%(The grownup kids Plz...Try HARD) of the Expense for
crackers in some way that could help the poor/Needy,or even put up a SMILE in desperate
heart.
While you are bursting crackers very happily ,there are several other little hearts out there( in the Slums,or near by localities )in vain dreaming to burst their own.
You could even visit your nearby places and gift those kids (From that-10% if you wish)
My last blog was just to create an awareness of what we are doing.......
It could atleast have some change in few of you before you plan to throw Lord Ganesha into the sea the next year.May be he could find a little place in your POOJA ROOM. Thanks to you if that is going to happen.
Before I wind up!!
A small joke related to this...........
There were few people sailing on a small boat.........
While they were almost in the Mid sea, they noticed the water seeping into the boat thro the small crack that they had not noticed.Now over to the scene in the Boat;
Scene1:
Man1: (Yelling for help) Ayo!!!! Puliyarappa
Lord Ganesh: Maganey ena vendum unaku. Edhenum varam venduma?
Man1: Athelaam onum venamba... naanga ellam kadalla muzhugaporam
Engala kaapathupa!!!
Scene 2:
Lord Ganesh: Achacho......
Man1: Ena saami..achachongreenga? Engala muzhugama kaapathunga.
Lord Ganesh: Asku busku... Ovvoru verushamumKootam Kootama
vandhu ennaelarum serndhu kadala thalli udreengaley!..... Indha
oru dhaba naan apdi seyreney.Idhu en turn....
Epdi irundhudhunnu sorgathula vandhu Sollunga!!!!?????
Don't worry God isn't that cruel like the Us. The good news is he saved all of them.
WISH YOU A HAPPY AND A VERY SAFE DEEPAWALI.......Burst as many crackers as you can............
...........Afterall it is DIWALI.
The festival of Smoke.....Oops Lights (:D)
So long,,,,,,,,,,,,,
30.10.05
The day after tommorow is the "FESTIVAL OF LIGHTS"
Yeah!!!!! I remember writing an essay on that.(THE BORING WORK they gave us in our schools after vaccation - To write essay!!!!!! We in our family don't celebrate DIWALI...(For those who don't celebrate diwali but burst crackers.....Most of all we don't BURST CRACKERS...while there were some of our friends who happened to be NON-HINDU's but yet celebrated diwali for it has the custom of Bursting crackers ) Well I had to write some CRAP that could convince my teacher to give me an A+, with out actually having any experience of CELEBRATING THE BIG DAY-DIWALI . ( Bursting crackers , go out to relatives place ,.............and all those crazy things people generally do on this day.) Ah.....Now u must notice another big hole in our education System
Now coming back to DIWALI.......Have few questions on this issue............
Why crackers on diwali????? ( Lighting is okay.......but there is only a lot of BURSTING)
Now That lord has killed the Narahasura............Why do u make all these fuss year after year? When people in that period( Their friends/relatives have been Brutally killed by narahasura) who have seen Narahasura and was totally irritated with this guy have finished celebrating the death of the DEMON. We know that it is over...Then for what on earth are we so fussy about this day!
Why do we have to wear new dresses on this day?? We wear new dress on some1's Birthday(OUR'S) & also on some1's death anniversary( Narahasuran)???? What crazy people we are???
Atleast in the olden days Mom's used to make nice sweets,deserts,MURUKKU,Palagaram...etc,etc, Now today which MODERN MOM does those? Who makes all these at home...........?(may be 1 or 2,or very few).People call it SHOPPING , go out before diwali and buy kilos of these from SHOPS and burn a big hole in their Men's pocket!!!!Had Lord Krishna known this " ...... "...?!
The TV programmes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Well what can i say when our Indian tv channels on GANDHI JAYANTHi plays
SUCH kind of movies,
talk shows about "your favourite movie star & whether he/she should lose weight or gain in his next movie?",
Talk show where the Top heroine(In Tamil cini industry) chats with the "EDHIRKAALA INDIA" meaning the young india(n'S) ....in a language which could be understood by any1 except for those who knows TAMIL<>People, welcome to see Tamil cini Artsists interview . LANGUAGE NO BAR!!!!! (Especially if u donno Tamil but little English. And if you are too good at English...Then sorry,Pls bre with us.) Why does Gandhi jayanthi happen to be the day for TV channels to get their market through silly means...............What does their shows have to do with GANDHIJI?????
Honestly speaking , How many of you out there visit Lord Krishna's Temple? When all these fusses and celebrations are to indirectly thank him..............That man is sitting in the temple with both his ears tightly sealed !!!
Now..... Here is my final analysis.
Why do we Indians have most of the days in our calendar in RED for religious celebrations??
Dont give me an answer that India is known for its UNITY IN DIVERSITY, while we dont actually happen to prove it when time comes.(It came,Comes,will come...But we will stand firm in our EGO)
While the foreign countries have Holidays, but on useful issues like Thanks giving day, Grandparents day, Halloween (This day is originally to help kids to grow braver and get rid of the fear they have against Evilspirits,Ghosts,...),am not sure abt the name but there are days to say SORRY to those whom you failed to, To celebrate the new season, To enjoy the weather, ...and many other good reasons to FUSS around.
Why dont we adopt such good things from them, other then simply taking the meaning for WESTERNISATION as wearing funny outfits, Indian girls wearing TIGHTcostumes that the MODEL (Non indian)WORE in the ad, Coolers, Pizza, Jeans, Mini tops, Junk food,Mini skirts,..................
Certain things are to be followed only by those people.
Are the people in those countries wearing saree,Veshti, Skirt and blowse(PAVVADAI CHATTAI),Half saree???????If not us then who would keep these in practice for the future to know that this is what we really are.
Well, will you be happy if your relative has her BABY born with white hair, Blue eyes,.........Ofcourse not, it is normal for them but not for us.
Before we try to imitate others...we must first think if this shoe would fit our Custom.
For , Indians are known and praised for our Culture, Tradition, Family bond, Originality,........... Worldwide.
Well , a bunch of freaks in this generation cant take it away!!!!!!!!! Atleast you can educate them if they are not aware of what they are doing!!!!!
Think about it....................
Have to go now. More idea's in-future. Dont pollute and Choke on diwali!!!!!!!!!!!
So long.............

HERE IS AN INTERESTING PIECE............Author : Unkown.
Did you know that when you envy someone, it's because you really likethat person?
Did you know that those who spend their time protecting others are theones that really need some one to protect them?
Did you know that the three most difficult things to say are :
I love you, Sorry and help me
The people who say these are actually in need of them or really feelthem, and are the ones you really need to treasure, because they have saidthem.
Did you know that people who occupy themselves by keeping otherscompany or helping others are the ones that actually need your company andhelp?
Did you know that those who dress in red are more confident inthemselves?
Did you know that those who dress in yellow are those that enjoy theirbeauty?
Did you know that those who dress in black, are those who want to beunnoticed and need your help and understanding?
Did you know that when you help someone, the help is returned in twofolds?
Did you know that those who need more of you are those that don'tmention it to you?
Did you know that it's easier to say what you feel in writing thansaying it to someone in the face?But did you know that it has more valuewhen you say it to their face?
Did you know that what is most difficult for you to say or do is muchmore valuable than anything that is valuable that you can buy with money?
Did you know that if you ask for something in faith, your wishes aregranted?
Did you know that you can make your dreams come true, like falling inlove, becoming rich, staying healthy, if you ask for it by faith, and if youreally knew, you'd be surprised by what you could do.
But don't believe everything I tell you, until you try it for yourself, if you know someone that is in need of something that I mentioned, and youknow that you can help, you'll see that it will be returned intwo-fold .

I happen to travel in the Highways and could observe a number of accidents on the road almost everyday.
It makes me sad that the world around is losing its humanitarian values day by day. Every day on my way to the college I could see Some form of destruction happening, like an accident where the vehicle has totally lost its form, not to mention about the people inside, the road badly wanting a repair work to be done for the vehicles having run over the median toppled upside down, dogs being hit by the vehicles and laying on the roads. What really is worrying me is that these dead animals are being run over and over by the vehicles in the HW so badly that their very form is lost and it may be very difficult even to identify what animal it is. This shows how many drivers are driving with full awareness. And most of all these animals that have been run over and over are left that way till they are crushed and even become a part of the road. Now this may sound DISGUSTING, but believe me it is TRUE. It isn’t a nice thing to have speed breakers in the highways, I am sure. We are not kids to be given strict orders failing which given punishments by someone. So it is our responsibility and ours alone to look for the clear road and slow down as and when we must, and look for any animal crossing the road and wait for them to cross. (Must I add for human beings too, sir? Well, I don’t want to do that because that brings the mankind down and I don’t want to leave a record for the future to know that we were like this).
Let us re-implement the human(e) values and look for a brighter, sound, accidentfree and animal friendly future .I don’t totally blame everyone, but many are amongst these some who need to drastically change themselves .This is not an issue where the animals such as dogs, cows and cats would go on a strike to tell us they need a secure world. And I think that is the reason why God has
given us the best brain to think and that He had thought we would create a world where all His creations would be safe like a child in its mother’s tender arms . It is high time now for us to realize the precarious condition for any life.
With best regards.....
