THAT INTERVENTION

All Ready, set in their conventional places in the living room. Superstition.
Its India vs Pakistan ODI.

"An electrifying outfield here. The much awaited match is about to start.
India has won the toss and chose to bowl.
Here comes the first ball and its Bhuvneshwar Kumar from the anna pavilion end". (Do read in Ravi shastri's voice)

Next moment, people in the living room staring the black blank screen, with lips murmuring "Ashtothra sadha namavali" in praise of TNEB.
By the time, current resumes, it will be the match summary of the first innings.
Well, this is not going to affect the play. A better Intervention, Rain towards the end of the match, and enigmatic D/L method decides the winner.

Interventions, the speed breakers. Many a time trouble makers. Draining the pace in no time.
Some interventions unbearable. Common now a days.
Some feel highly responsible, knowledgeable and will be waiting for an opportunity to give advice. Any topic, such people can speak for hours together, without break. They feel highly privileged in poking nose in other' issues. Here, especially in education and in marriage people start imposing ideas if they smell a scapegoat. Of course, for education and for marriage there are distinguished variation in the styles.

In Education, the student most probably is forced by the parents or the relatives, distant relatives to take up what they want but couldn't do. Above influencing, confusion is what remains. Luckily, if the student at last, left to sail with his/her own wish and if the so called success delays, people crowd to speak about the failure. If the one achieves "We know he/she would do that". "If he is not, who else can do" will be the remarks. Some get second chance like Farhan Qureshi to pursue things even after the initial jerk. For many it doesn't happen.

Next marriage. Above education its marriage that needs more freedom. "They also serve who only stand and wait" - John Milton. Some stand and wait only to advice others, especially when it is other' marriage. One need not serve, its better if the one doesn't poke nose in. A person from no where appears, makes sure some damage is done and disappears in no time. The sufferers are the couples or the two beautiful families, now its two or more villages, even an entire district. Well am not supporting the stupidity of the girl eloping with her so called guy, leaving him behind at the crux. But it is not that great issue, where two sects need to give up their lives, any one for that matter, for a personal affair. Here the intervention should have been made well before, by matured, truly responsible fellows in a constructive manner. After things have happened, Whats next is what remains.

Personal interventions are of one sort. From atom to almighty there is political interference. Free gifts interfering hark work, money interfering merit. Political interventions, cause higher level damage at all levels, the simple divide and rule. To divide there must be an intervention.

Intervention, synonym interference. There are two types constructive and destructive.
Seems like civilized, matured, still destructive interference throng, while the constructive ones remain silent.

The search engine

Priorities vary with persons. But the goal is being happy anytime, anywhere. No everywhere. In this fast moving world, in the name of competition, post, power, people forget to smile even. The degree of satisfaction is poor. Money has become the sole reason for happiness. Yes, money is necessary to boil food.

But the food that enters the esophagus, should be cherished. Should be respected. Should appreciate the taste. Many people strive hard to eat one meal a day. The almighty should be thanked for what we got, what we get. If one wish to be sad, for no reason he/she can be. Its all about the inclination.

Any law can fail. But not hooke's law.
Feeling exhausted, frustrated, the search for happiness starts. Worst case is searching ways to live happily in google!!. The search engine gives n number of tips. 20 tips to be happy in ten minutes. So in ten minutes, one becomes the happiest person in the whole world?

Take a break. Rather searching in google, see around. Many are happy without luxuries. Nature always smiles, without any expectations. Once reciprocate, it will take care then. Joy is in sharing.

An elderly person, asking for help, to cross the road. While crossing, feeling insecured holds your hand tightly. As the mission is successfully accomplished, shaky hands blesses. As you walk back you hear him telling "cross the road carefully dear". A sense of satisfaction prevails for days. 

A child, in a crowded bus, with no hesitation comes and start talking in his/her own comfortable language, one doesn't understand completely but there lies sweetness. The lovely smile on the face, that day's so called tension is relieved. 

A home, build by a squirrel somewhere near the dwelling premises, with no request, but with the sense of gratitude, leaving a high pitched check in and check out messages. It has its own hectic schedule ahead. Has to fight for food, should feed the young ones, should safe guard from enemies. What not? Problems come automatically. Some times by choice.

Some attain complete satisfaction, pushing others to a pathetic state. A dangerous boomerang. All the back biting mechanisms handled, will pull thy person into the pit. Just like "urubhangam" that happened to Duryodhana. Dispassion towards jealousy is a must, if one wants unconditional happiness.  

Happiness.
This 9 letter word, the world's best feel for any soul.
Infinite number of words won't come for rescue.
A small smile, a loud laughter, silent tears says all.
Still a better search engine is there. The search is within.  

The One and Only.

One cannot be good for all, for all time.

But he was!!

The one standing firmly in the mind of people even after ages.

Some see him as an illusion; While some as God.

And he is what one sees.

Appointment with him might delay. But he never disappoints!!

Because, he: 

The disciplined son; The obedient student.

The magnificent warrior; The witty orator.

The best friend; The noblest foe.

The caring brother; The adorable father.

The one who practiced before he preached.

Above all,

The Only King, who sacrificed his beloved for his people!

The composed, ever loving husband!!!

The One and Only....

RAM!!! The Legend.

W and M - Mirror images after all

All 365 days are celebrated in one way or the other. Yes, everyday it is to cherish and enjoy. Some are declared as global variables. March 8th International Women's day. - Another Friday by the way.

 Yes, its once again about Women, Women Empowerment, Freedom. Guys might feel bored to hear the same old story and might feel irritated for complaining them for girls's sufferings. That too in the country, where A Woman was the first citizen (people know how it was) and many many other similar current scenarios. Above all, on this day, girls are served several tasty dishes that too with unlimited rose milk in our hostel mess. And now if i say girls suffer, none will even believe.

 An open truth. Guys respect and love their mothers, sisters, daughters, friends and give a very very special place to their girl friend(s). Yet sorry. Collectively, globally when this topic comes, it always reminds the cage bird - free bird poem. It has feathers, but can't be nocturnal all alone. Can be. But at one's own risk. Leave security. One was shot on her head, just because she wanted women to be educated. A little girl who wants to be a doctor, is now in hospital as a patient. Leave education, being literate stuffs.

Take the ever fascinating Love. The one who rejects a guy's proposal experiences the effect of a new face wash product, the one not advertised, not even used in beauty parlours. - The Acid. Poor guys didn't know about the deo spray effect i guess. - Ban those ads at least now. It has made no effect. See, girls are mad when they are in love. Sati Dakshaprajapathi danced for hours together, just to have a glimpse of Shiva. Rukmini Bhishmaka just by hearing Krishna's qualities, wrote him to accept her as his consort, after her hostile betrothal. Andal Vishnuchithar, she went a step ahead. She took up tough rituals. Till now no one has written such beautiful verses for their beloved like her. For those who don't believe in these mythological, historical examples, you people very well have few pages in social networking sites (don't want to publicize - colloquially alaparai ). The moment you read those realize that the very right she has to express, the same is for rejection too.

Having spoken about these, if i leave Nirbayas this post is incomplete. For those who feel, that girls are in this earth just to satisfy their biological urge, i don't want to say any. Don't even want to address them as MAN. The man has said this "Vaal munaiyil kettalum, Vensiraiyil pottalum, udal andri ullam unnai serathu" - Kannadhasan. One can't win a girl's heart by these means.

Every one on this earth commits mistakes. Few of us misuse our freedom. Even we girls didn't protest against unethical ads. Every one in this world suffer. One is not happy all the time. One do not suffer all the time. Be it men or women mistake is a mistake.
In this society, None is Independent. Reality is all are dependently Independent.
Happy WoMen's day.

       


  

A cup of coffee

COFFEE!!!!!

We all almost do anything for this, we even spare our SLEEP, to taste it. While we are on the way home from work place, we dream the taste of this elixir.... Every coffee lover would have experienced this, at least once. Whats special in this??? After all the taste prevails until coffee crosses taste buds. Yet whats there that makes people damn crazy???

Its the unconditional belief. Irrelevant???

To make a cup of coffee, we require lot of ingredients. Behind every ingredient, there is loads of hard work and belief. Farmers should sow, grow, guard, harvest coffee and sugar plantations over a period of time. To grow a plant it requires at most care. Nature should support. Rain! Should believe. Optimum rain is the main requirement.

Next, should break down to consumer level. For this machines, electricity are important. We the TN people believe power scenario will change soon. Then transportation for all products at the door step. The list grows and process is breath taking but lesser when compared to digestion of Casein. Every person has his or her own place, behind a cup of coffee.

For a cup of coffee, it involves many people's belief in his or her own act. Many a times, when we believe blindly, things turn against us, our hopes get shattered. We need to rejuvenate time and again. We should have that belief of a child, who gets up even after falling many times. We were all infants, time ago. We were believing unconditionally. But as we grow doubts and  fear of failure conquer own mind. We go for pessimistic approach.

There was no mobile phones, fb, gmail at least, yet sita believed in ram, being in enemy's camp, undergoing terrible mental turmoil. Ram also believed his beloved wife. They succeeded. That was unconditional pious belief. And thats what is expected even now. In the current scenario this might seem hypothetical, even stupid. But ultimately Unconditional Belief is RELIEF, and its powerful.

With this belief only India got its freedom. We walk believing we won't fall though gravity keeps playing 24*7. We need to believe in things, above all thy self. Even the cappuccino will taste better only when we believe that, its not sabesan's coffee....

  

The most blissful month

The most blissful month is "MARGAZHI". ( december - january) why this one so special? According to hindu mythology this month margazhi is considered as the early morning time for devas. Lord Krishna has stated in Bhagavat gita that " maasanam margasesha ha ", this means lord krishna is in the form of month margazhi. This is the month devoted only to god.

During this month the most celebrated "thiruvadhirai", "vaikunda ekadesi"and "christmas" falls. Keeping the religious aspects aside, scientifically ozone layer is in a closer position to earth than usual. We can feel this vibration.

A morning walk in any month is good for health. Especially the one in the month of margazhi is too good as plenty of oxygen is available. Oxygen is good for heart and also helps in keeping the mind fresh. For a combustion reaction to take place oxygen is the primary requirement. Like wise to ignite our mind and to concentrate well we need pure oxygen and this is in abundance in this month.

Margazhi - what first strikes is " thiruppavai " and " thiruvempavai ". These two are great tamil literary works which speaks about god. Thiruppavai was blessed to us by one of the twelve alwars "choodikodutha sudarkodi ANDAL". In this work there are 30 songs, one for each day of the month. This work is all about the glory of god. In each song there are simple rules that is to be followed to reach god. She practiced and also preached the same and reached god. This is said to be the simplified version of 'Bhagavat gita'.

Thiruvempavai is a boon to us given by " MAANIKKAVASAGAR ". He is one of the 63 nayanmars. He made revolutions using soulful songs which portraits god, as weapons and established shaivism more firmly when buddhism was penetrating in south india. Both these two works and many other works says only about the love to god. These two are considered as special works because of their simplicity.

Margazhi - speaking about this blissful month and if " MUSIC " - one of the eternal way to reach god is left, then this month is not complete at all. This is not a gift to all, but all can listen and enjoy good music. Music is a wonderful way of describing god accompanied by sweet music. Music is a magical ocean of 7 swaras. Many great composers have given us great compositions even about the suttle movements of god in a subtle and soothing manner. The compositions from them are their hearty experiences with god. They were so generous to us and blessed us with such compositions so that we can also enjoy god like them. Music not only takes the musician to god, but also the listener. Music with good lyrics is always soul stirring and the best soul cleansing tool.

The way to reach god is by loving all and believing him. All religion is one and preaches only good deeds and love to all. The ultimate aim is to attain the " INNER PEACE " po attains via kunfu, we trying to reach by different means. This is not about being religious. Religion is just a medium to have a matured mind. We all always have the feel, being in equilibrium but we lose control. To gain control we can think about any super natural power which moulds us both scientifically and philosophically so all of us can attain the alpha state - an equilibrium state. This blissful month enhances this path.

A BUSINESS DEAL

Education is the best gift one can get in life. But what is education??? Getting 1st rank in every subject, thats what we all believe. We never mind about the basic manners or people's character. The current scenario is in such a way that all of us wanted to do only professional courses, not knowing whats the exact talent within us. It is just because of this mentality of we the people, politicians play in educational system.

We people are ready to give lakhs and crores to get one professional course seat. We forget our real talents or interests. We just wanted to do what others do. Politicians make use of this and now the population of engineering colleges are increasing. Joining engineering is not a big deal. We should think for a minute whether we will be taught well. If this situation exceeds all other courses will lose its charm and professional courses will lose its value.

The talk of the town is "SAMACHEERKALVI". Pity on education and students. Politicians play with education. None of them wanted to serve the people or the country or at least education. The committee that discuss about educational system does not have a educated member who really know the value of education. Even in the committee that discussed about this samacheerkalvi was full of people who run a educational institution and not a educationalist. Not only this committee many such committees are so. One committee sits for framing the syllabus and some other committee sits for deleting the tough portions from the syllabus. The continuity get lost invariably.

Some people like our former chief minister flatter their own writings. They wanted to replace even the traditional "TAMIZHTHAI VAZHTHU" with their "semmozhiyana thamizhmozhiyam"and wanted their family member's writings in syllabus. Education is not a play ball. We should know the value of it. Everytime he exhibits the same "deerudharashtriya scenario".

We people should behave like educated. When we join our hands against these corrupted politicians we can save education and the future generation. Along with the professional knowledge parents should teach basic manners. Parents should make their children understand that all the courses are the same. All are interdependent. We can't live without a drivers, conductors, gold smith, farmers, teachers, vendors, business men, economists. All of us have to sail together. Society is not for engineers alone.

All men are equal. No job is inferior. We should change our attitude and save education from business minded people.

"LONG LIVE EDUCATION"

WOMEN EMPOWERMENT

HAHAHA........................The common topic. Speaking about women empowerment shows that we don't think we are equal to men. We simply say they are dominant. Thing is we ourselves feel that we are submissive. Generally back stage work is difficult and that plays an important role in a stage play. Life is also a stage play. To organise a work is difficult. Women can do that very well. More than seeing what we don't have, we should improve what we have first.

Women are the driving force. The best example is from ramayana. Sita is everything in ramayana. Ramayana - if we see simply its about ram. But sita is the backbone of the epic. Valmiki himself says that ramayana is " sitaya charitham mahathu ". Had she thought for a second she would have finished ravana. But she did not do so. She waited patiently for her husband to save her from the evil force. No girl can be powerful like sita. She proves that " behind a man's success there is a women". The beauty lies there.

There is no woMEN without men. There is no feMALE without male. I don't say we should be submissive. I mean to say don't show that you are dominant. We need not be dependent on them. Lets understand we can't be independent. Because of our dominance we may lose our identity at times. It may lead to a situation where, in the word women, "WO" may come in front and will become "menwo" the word looses its charm and meaning once for all. Lets not misuse our powers and waste them.

We are not low when compared with men. We need not prove that we are powerful. We should use the power within and reach heights and make others reach heights but silently.

MODERNISM

Modernism is not the way of dressing and the way one hair looks. Modernism is a way of thinking. The extent to which Science is followed in day to day activities. There is a preconceived notion that if dressed in a modern outfit, people are so intelligent. External appearance doesn't matter. Just by seeing, people can't be judged.

We the people, give more importance to the external appearance. This ideology is to be changed. There is too much of western influence in the way of dressing and habits especially. This doesn't mean that one should not follow the western thoughts. The point is, should follow those that are good and healthy. Precisely, a group of people in traditional wear for an occasion and one is in modern outfit or the vice versa, people tend to spot differences. Should dress according to the climatic conditions and the social gatherings to be addressed. 

Not alone outfits. People smoke, drink influenced greatly by the concept of westernization. Have ever given a thought why people from the west drink? People blindly follow others, at times. Comment and criticise the one who doesn't follow the unhealthy western thoughts. Western people are in polar regions and the climate prevailing is extreme cold conditions. So, to maintain the body temperature people drink and smoke. India, a tropical zone. Summer is predominant. Whats the use in smoking, living in a place like kadapa?

One should act according to situations. Adjusting according to the situation says whether one is modern or not. One should think scientifically or at the least logically before following and criticising others. Thoughts are to be modernized. One should remember " ALL THAT GLITTERS ARE NOT GOLD",  composition of the elements in the metal to be evaluated, before using it. Because some may not be skin friendly.
