May this year end with PEACE...
unlike the disastrous 2004....

Sem -I .....over..

Twas all over today...
All the first semester exams were over today. Exams were a bit tough...Anywayz...

Leaving Chennai today evening....

A few days to go....

Sometimes we feel...
Sometimes we don't..
Sometimes we feel elated and satisfactory..
Sometimes fate wills the other way...


It all happens in LIFE...


Semester exams are fast approaching... Fears ar fast approaching...
Shivers are fast approaching....Fate's decisions are fast approaching...

Huh!!

-6 days to go...



Am signing off for about a fortnight or two...

A part is over...

Today, all practical exams were over..

I've done well...

In the mean time, we have our third assessment in progress...
So, these, 20 forthcoming days are gonna be really tough..


9 days to go....

Practical Week...

The forthcoming week is occupied with all Semester practical exams...


A tight week..

14 days to go....

An Excerpt...

"When we speak to others to manifest, our power is weakened..."

- Wayne


17 days to go.....

Vigil continues....

Chums have started a full fledged preparation for the semester exams.
Students have geared up....It's gonna be tough this time..
Gotta work hard..

That's life..



Count Down:20 days to go....for the exams to commence..

Huh!!

Today, the most expected event occured. The time-table for first semester was announced.
Quite a satisfactory one.. I presume..

It starts on 18th Dec. and ends on 28th.
.....

Something to say...

"And a man said, Speak to us on Self-knowledge
And he answered, saying:
Your hearts know in silence the secrets of
the days & nights.."

- Kahlil...

Fears..gearing up....

With only one more month left for the First semester examinations...to commence, I cud see some of my chums...preparing vigorously for it.It commences on Dec. 17th. The exam fear has already geared up.. These 30 days are gonna be very tight. We have lots to write and read..lots & lots to finish...
Teachers speeding up to finish off portions...
It's all hasty..going on here...

It does happen....

"A good one follows a bad one..
So does a bad one, after a good one...

Negative happennings will follow positive happennings...
That's life cycle....

Each and every person has different tastes in life...That's why..we have varieties..of everything in this world.."



-Hey, don't worry if this is confusing...Huh!!

I realised...

Somewhere did I see and realise,

Success is to flow like water through
a road of rocks..

Diwali....

Let this
Diwali be a
harbinger of happiness
to one's soul....

This day to go....

All pre-diwali exams are over.....Gonna leave Chennai tomorrow. A couple of exams are left to be completed after Diwali. Here, it's raining heavily in Chennai.The chennaiites say, this rain is unprecedented...This year Chennai has experienced more rains...
The hostel, here, is gonna be peaceful for a week...

Truth.....

For soul walks upon paths..
The soul walks upon a line, neither
does it grow like a reed..
The soul folds itself, like a lotus of countless petals..

- Gibran



3 days to go....

I was told....

I was told.....

* Create gulit in you for good reasons...
* Try to be competitive & participative
* Don't have a detestable malice over others..
* Never attempt any ploys....
* Think twice..
* Act..


6 days to go.....

Not bad...

It was a satisfactory performence...in my first test of the second assessment...though not to the fullest extent....Here, in CEG,students are assessed on comparison with others..That's why here we have a system called "GPA" for assessing a student's performence. That's an unique feature of this college.. So, each student has a malice or guilt over others... So, competition becomes very tight...right????



8 days to go.....

Gonna start....

The second assessment is gonna commence next week....Most of my vigilant colleagues are under going VIGIL already... This time, I am sure, it's going to be very competitive...




12 days to go.....

A peaceful hostel...

With only little population, the hostel is very peaceful...The quality of food has also improved a bit...But without the hostel chums, the hostel seems to be a bit languish...




17 days to go....

Absconded...

Today most of my chums are gonna go to visit their natives on a three day long week-end,.. Hostel is almost empty...
i was in a dilemma, whether to go or...But then I decided to stay back and go for Diwali...coz, not many days to go...for Diwali...Diwali is on 11th...I am leaving Chennai on 9th...


Countdown: 19 days to go..

Two months...of...

I could remember the 18th of August, when I stepped into the college auditorium with an impeccable mannerism...,to attend the orientation programme for the first years of our college..
Two months have passed....with satisfaction and dissatisfaction...It appears as though, I was away from my home for a long time...

Sometimes days go fast..sometimes they don't...

He...

He has made different people to live their lives differently.
.He's partial, may be, not..
But He is proliferatingly cunning..
He is known Depredator...Huh!

Bad Omen...

Sometimes, we feel the satisfied with the happennings around us.
Sometimes we feel unhappy in life...
In some cases, we itself might fall into some great trouble which we might not have expected to happen..
At times 'situations'don't favour us.That's all bad Omen...huh!..

Discussions....

Almost daily, our seniors use to conduct some discussion classes, where in we can interact with them... This seems to be very advantageous..There are varieties of clubs and socities..So,these clubs use to conduct discussion clases..n' we wud fall into a dilemma as to, which function to go for...So much is done here...Those classes wud be very handy for us in the future,I presume..

A feel of...

Sometimes, weeks flee fast..
sometimes, it crawls...
something irregular happens
regularly..,either in a vicious ..
manner or in a gleeful
manner..Nah..can't comprehend...
Sometimes,there's a feel of
delight..sometimes, it's gloomy
Sometimes chums are friendly,
sometimes hostile..
sometimes..path is positive,
sometimes negative.........

"Whatever be it, Be doughty enough to pulverize the bad ones and accept the good ones.."
-Soul..

Great one...

Twas a gr8 3-day amusement "intra-college culturals" here at AU..There were lots of events and twas an enjoyable week-end..all together..
Very enlightening occasion was that...though not informative..Every year these culturals take place at this time.

But there's another cultural, somewhere in the middle February, a grander one than this is coming up.It's an "Inter college culturals"...

AGNI...A pyrotechnic atmosphere..

It's time for entertainment and glee after getting out of the grills of assessments...
Hm..Yes.. T's a three day cultural programme of Anna University (AU) called "AGNI"..gonna set the stages of AU ablaze..
It's commencing tonight and will go on till 9th.
Lots & lots of events to get fired on..
A joyous & delightful atmosphere has already cropped up here..

No hurry...

Though there was a month delay in the commencement of colleges...there seems to be no hurry or haste on the faces of the professors of AU..."College culturals"..is coming up...to fire up the Anna University chums....
After that, I think..it's all over 4 this semester...and students will be abstained from any kind of entertainment...
and "STUDIES" will become the cynosure of all eyes here...

As it goes...

Sometimes, t's non - understandable what is what
in this vague and obstinate world of something.....
Life just goes without proper plan & thought...
A wavering mind...unexpected decisions...
satisfaction..Dissatisfaction....
something..someone...somewhere...
dunno..


... no proper...
definition for L..I..F..E..

One more...

There is one more exam left for the completion of this first assessment...I am not satisfied with the way, I have done my assessments...I got to improve on it..In this new month..I should gear up with a new beginning....

Tougher....

Yesterday, the paper was tough again....I managed it.. But still, I think I got to work more for my exams..I was very casual of assessments..But I think I should consider it seriously and work for it...
I am always prone to silly,careless mistakes...I must cease doing it..
So, here the life is going on...Days flee fast...Now, I have got adopted to the kind of atmosphere in hostel...

-"It's only the beginning of the climb towards a bachelor degree...Life is infinity there are lots to come forth.....

Twas tough...

After completing my first assesment paper, I felt that papers would be easy here in Anna University...But I don't think that's the case..The second paper was tough..It made us think and do...which we had not practised for the last couple of years...Let's wait for the results...that's it...

A land of monkeys...

Did my first test well..Twas an easy paper...But I wasn't good at my handwriting, coz this hand was inactive for three full months..
But I improved on it..while I was writing..Hoping to do every exam well...

Here in Anna University monkey population has almost reached that of human ones.
We have two hostels for freshers...that is abt.450 students..And the number of monkeys around the hostels is more or less the same..
We are advised not to keep the room doors open.. If we do, then monkeys enter the room and will cause a massacre. So, we people are careful now-a-days...

Assesments from tomorrow...

Assesments is gonna commence right from tomorrow...I have prepared well..But I dunno, how well will I do the test...I am a bit nervous coz..this is the first step in my path towards attaining a B.E. degree....

Unexciting week....

Twas an unexciting week...This week-end, I am gonna stay at hostel, the reasons being, Ihave got assesments and the other one is, my brother is off-station for this week-end..So...got to be in the hostel this week end..and rust out...Nothing much..Just leading an orthodox but a satisfactory life here..That's it..

Hm...

Huh! Dates for assesments have been announced...It's commencing on 21st..This being the first assesment, I am a bit tremulous. A few days back there were some reports of theft in the hostel...got to protect my valuables...Got to be careful...Nothing much...

On a week end...

I am off this weekend to Tambaram, about 15 kms. from my college. My elder brother stays here in a small nice house along with a few of his college mates. I'll be there till tomorrow. Here there is a 24 hour water supply unlike my hostel...

Here in Chennai, daily we use to have a heavy down pour...Yesterday I was fully drenched when i stepped into my brother's residence..from my hostel... I think this season might continue....for two and or months...I hope.

Fresher's party...

We became a bit nervous when we were noticed about the freshers party at the college notice board, to be held on 9th of september.
The day came. We all joined the party yesterday evening. We thought we would experience some ragging. But we didn't. We enjoyed the party. The seniors were friendly. The post-party session was a Tamil super-hit film at our open air ground. It went on till 9 PM. Then there was a heavy down-pour over here accompanied with thunder and lightning..Current went off and the film was stopped. And we all rushed to the hostel getting wet in the rain. The campus got back the current only at 11:45 PM.... But twas a nice enthralling day...

Path Finder...

Today we had a program called "PATH FINDER" for the mechanical freshers of College of Engineering, Guindy. It was interesting and informative. We had an useful interaction with our mechanical seniors..On the whole twas a very good experience...

Stepped into...

Huh!After a tiring bus travel...I landed into the campus of Anna University.
Somehow I managed to go to the college.. I was not able to control my sleep inside classes..I was very tired.. Had a cat nap during lunch and now I feel relaxed..
This evening we had a function called "Mr. & Ms. Guindy" for freshers of College of engineering, Guindy. Twas all fun...

Returning to Chennai….

On Saturday (04.09.2004), when the pearl city express (chennai - Tuticorin express) (I was in, there) whooshed into the Tuticorin railway station, I was delighted to see my mom who was eagerly waiting for her “SON” with great enthusiasm at the platform.

But today I feel very dull and lost all the glee in me, becoz the day has come to go back to College of Engineering, Guindy and start my routine work over there. I really enjoyed this short three-day stay at home.

Now it’s time for me to pull up my socks and gear up my attitude towards an optimistic path rather than always feeling home sick. But, one thing is that, whenever I go back to my hostels and start chattering and gossiping with my friends, I feel satisfied and never will I feel home sick. This homesickness comes only at the time of leaving the home….

Two long months...

This 4th of September marked the completion of two long months, since “EIRENE” was started. Now I feel "EIRENE" looks a bit matured...I dunno, to what extent am I true in that statement.. But I am sure of one thing. This blog "EIRENE" has lasted a bit longer than all my previous blogs… and it has exposed “me”, “my life style” and “my clustered imaginations”, though not in a very clear way, but in a bit obscure way at least….

I hope and wish this blog, a long e-life… I’ll hold and nurture this “EIRENE” till I.......

At home…

Huh! After a tiring train journey, I have arrived here at my new home…It’s almost set, with a little more to go…
I’ll have to enjoy to the maximum, these three days, because, I don’t know when will I get an other opportunity to come over here…

Plan and Execute…

Every step in life needs a proper plan, which has to be properly executed.

An ingenious, master-mind plan and its execution lead to fruitful, profitable outcomes. Planning is so important in one’s life.
I do accept, at times, extempore acts do give a helping hand, but that’s not the case always.. Most of the times, it fails.. Before you take any step forward, plan it well. Try to infuse this habit in you… This applies to me too…

I confess, I fail to plan most of the times and end up with sleazy results.

So plan well --> execute well… You’ll win….

A new place to dwell…

We’ve shifted into a new house. Everybody knows the burden that is caused at the time of “shifting” things from one house to the other. They all fell on my dad & mom. I escaped when the shifting took place. Coz I was in Chennai at Anna University… I heard, still things have to get set. But it will be all set in a week or two. The new house is a bit bigger than the older one containing a ground floor and a first floor. When I go this weekend, I’ll be visiting my new heaven….

Home...

I am going on a short visit to my "home", this week end. coz we have a three day break this week end. Here at ANNA UNIVERSITY lessons are hard, But I need to cope up. Still I have not got used to, what u call "COLLEGE" and "SUBJECTS". Though the Ist semester is said to be easy, It isn't that easy as 12th class was... But if interest and dedcation is there, there is gonna be no problem. It's easy actually, since this is a giant leap from school to college, I feel it a bit tougher. But I think I'll get rid of what u call "TOUGHNESS" asap. Well nothing more to scribble here..

Feel...

I am slowly getting used to this new atmosphere. We have many free classes here. Some classes are boring. Some classes creates intrigue. Now there is a need to adopt a new type of learning, rather than just mugging up the text. Got to understand and analyse each and every bit of "what is being taught".
Sometimes I do feel, "Had I been at home, I cud have been in heaven", But most of the times, I feel comfortable and enjoyable.The stay here is good, but
I still feel "HOME" is "HEAVEN". None other place is that heavenly...

Going on....

Not as happy as I was when I was at my home.. But still I am happy of my college and the way it proceedes.. It's a very good college with a large campus..

The main problem here is water.. We have only 3 hour water supply per day.. That creates a bit of problem.. I am afraid how am I going to read my lessons in a new atmosphere..? But I shud..
Have caught friends.. everybody very mellow and nice to befriend..

I lost all my routine work... Everyhting is lost.. anywayz..
I am sure, I don't feel as free as I felt and lived at home..

First Day...

Had three days of boring/interesting orientation programme for freshers..
From today, classes have commmenced.. There are a bit of free periods to while away too..

But it was an uneventful and non-hectic and boring first dAY... Hope it improves soon...

Joined...

Hey, Have joined my college.. Now I feel "home" is better thAN HOSTEL ATMOSPHERES..

But I think I am getting used to it.. Have befriended some..

58th Independence Day....

Wish all Indians a very happy independence day... Today is a red-lettered day for indians..It's a special day for INDIA. Today is one of the three days in a year, we indians tend to be patriotic...

Alas...

Alas.........The day has come. It's time for me to bid good bye to my equanimous H..O..M..E..and enter a college environment.. I am leaving my home once for all.. Huh!
I am not very happy, nor am I in dismay. But I am not emotionally touched. I am as normal as......
I hope and wish that the "Atmospheric change" suits me. I wish for an intrepid life..Not much of it..
Hope I enjoy the rest of my life towards....

mm.. I've had many friends, be it e-friends or direct friends.. All of them have been very mellow towards me. I wish them all "Happy Life".. I'll still try to keep in touch with all of 'em...

My friends : LIVE A LIFE TILL YOU REACH ...........

All the best..

Sound Sleep......

Funny?
Sleep well..... I do that very much.
"Sleep Early. Get up early" - is right. I do the opposite very fine.
But I think one must not be restricted from his sound sleep. Right..?

Children must not be forced on a compulsory night study until and unless it's necessary.

Insomnia - Which I sometimes have... Not often..

Somewhere did I read :
The quality of your sleep will improve because of YOGA.
coz, Yoga increases the elimination of toxins from the body.. I am not sure of it, but.....
Anywayz.. try avoiding naps and dozes at night... Have a sound sleep..

A tempestuous and exciting experience..

It wasn’t so exciting when I entered the college, which hosted the counselling. (Here, after 12th class, we use to have couselling for admission in B.E/B.Tech degree for choosing our desired colleges according to our state rank. It commenced today.) I wasn’t so enthusiastic. But the excitement was geared up when I entered the hall and it was at its apex when I stepped into the couselling centre.

My all-time favourite use to be Mechanical Engineering. But according to last year’s trend, for my rank, I was not in a position to get it (Mechanical Engineering) in the most top-notch college. And therefore taking Mechanical Engineering was unpremeditated and was almost ruled out of my choices, I harbored. But to my surprise, when I was reclining at the hall, I noticed quite a number of seats left for Mechanical Engineering in my long desired college (College of Engineering, Anna University, Chennai, Tamilnadu) the best one in Tamilnadu. So I made that my first option.
But seats were getting into paucity when time progressed.
I was becoming restless and petulant and started to be malevolent.
Twas my turn. I had few seats left for B.E (Mechanical) in Anna University (above mentioned college) and I selected it!.
I was very happy and satisfied. College is going to commence on 18th of this month.So, I have got into a very good college. I think I'll have to work hard and study well and do my best there.

Environment will suit..........

Environment will steer it's way and we will have to steer towards it....

We have seen people changing their dwellings. We have noticed students getting into hostel atmospheres from their equanimous residences...

"Environment doesn't suit" - This is a comment that buffets our ears often from the 'shifters'.
But I think environment has nothing wrong to do with them. Has it got any malice of them? Nah. Their thoughts may be erring...

If one's mind is abject, it's arduous to adapt to the environment. Every thing depends on one's 'mind - set'. One's thoughts need to pure enough to sychronise with the environment, one dwells.
Then one will find the environment automatically turning towards him/her and benifitting him/her.
Make thoughts and mind fit to adapt yourself to the environment.
One has to change his attitude and soul in favour of the environment, then you can surely expect the environment to hold you, support you, benifit you and bring bliss in you.....

Eirene - A month old...

I remember the 4th of July when I conceived to start a blog and was searching for a good template for it.

Yes. My blog is a month old....

Though I attempted many a times to foster and sustain my blogs, I was thwarted by my mind. None of my previous blogs were enduring and long-lasting.
This is the one, which has lasted for two full fortnights and is yearning to last for long.
Though the zest, I had at blogging, 31 days back, is missing in me now, I still have the interest in me to sustain this serene and eirenic blog till....................

Thoughts maketh life...

Twas yesterday did I ideate and realise that the way of life one leads is all the result of his/her ‘thoughts’ and the way he/she executes the thoughts. Whatever one does, it’s all because of his thoughts, be it, good or bad.


From now on, I think I have to renovate and refurbish myself. I have to manifest my thoughts and convert them into useful actions and attain fruitful results and live a blissful life….


'Good thoughts can bring you good results and bad thoughts bad results' – James Allen.

Addiction…

People do have interests in many acts of life. “Interests” – Ok, one can have. But that interest must not go uncontrolled.

Got to confess.
If I get some new games, I get addicted to it. My whole day’s work gets spoiled and marred. But now I could realize my folly and am in to my effort to control addiction on any act I do.

'Interests' sometimes may give a defiled way to ADDICTION. Addiction results in bad consequences, not good results.
Addiction, in every way, affects one and can make him bewail for it.
A person may love ‘eating’. But once he has turned into a glutton, then his health may spoil.

Reiteration – Have ‘interests’ but not greed. If you have ‘greed’ avoid over-greed.

Addiction can impair one’s plans for work.

Alcohol addiction - A very familiar one.
“Avoid drugs and alcohol” – a recurring statement. But people shirk this statement and then realise while they suffer. Late realisation has become common these days..
Addiction can mar you down. It can have direct influence on one’s health. It can affect one’s character.

A mellow minded can turn bestial, ignoble and sulky. Such an effect it has got.
One’s whole itinerary gets spoiled.So, try avoiding addiction or else it can make you a tyrant of your mind and body.

Friends...

World comprises of good and evil.
‘Good’ and ‘Bad’ friends. This condition arises only because of the character, those friends have fostered. Had they fostered good character, they join the "Good Friends" group and vice versa.

Friends do play a vital role in one's life. They too have a hand in the shaping of our character.

Good Friends will help you in your empowerment and development and you know how bad friends would be.
Yes. They’ll be cynical, malevolent and will mar down your plans for life.
There is a saying – Unsinkable ship is friendship. But it has to be amended as “Unsinkable ship is a good friendship”

Try to befriend a good friend, but never tease or revile the bad ones. That’s the motto for “Good Friends” group.
Good friends make world, a mansion to live in....

Qualities reveal reality....

The aphorism “Qualities reveal your soul and mind to the world”, though being forged by me, suits every step of every man’s life. It’s quality but not quantity that matters.

For every step one takes or for every action one does, one needs a quality plan and master - mind execution.

He/She may posses a huge amount of wealth, but he/she is said to be wise and rightly characterized, only if he fosters in him, good qualities. The quality of life one leads (or ‘lives’, may be) depends on the quality of his/her thoughts.

If thoughts are good, then he’ll attain fruition and vice versa.
James Allen has stressed, in his famous book, As a man thinketh (rechristened for simplicity, as “As you think”) that :

A dishonest person is not totally corrupt and the honest one is not entirely virtuous.
I go with him.
A dishonest person might have many other good qualities. But this one, single bad quality makes him squalid. So, bad qualities buffet you down very much. So, try coveting more good qualities than bad ones.
So, quality speaks much of one’s real way of life, than quantity. Quality excels quantity.
One must be qualified enough in the league stage to advance into the super league stage of life.
In order to make progress in life, you need good qualities and wise actions rather than showing vice. Good thoughts can provide you a helping hand in shaping good qualities. (I know I am iterating this statement). One must shirk deceptive attitude and proceed with an unerring mind.

I’d like to complete with James Allen’s :

As we think in our hearts, so are we.

I completely agree with him.
How about you?

Moon - Life, semblable, may be...

Rolling my eyelids towards sky,
did I see an a logy round object,
lacking exuberance, twas today’s
moon. Like ours, it’s character amends
everyday. One day …gloomy,
dull, the other day…bright someday.
It’s moon, we admire….
adds beauty to the sky, reaving
sun’s light, brightens the slobbish,
night sky, proliferates the beauty
of the nature. Neither a profligate,
in luminosity, like the sun, nor a
miser alike darkness. It’s something
neutrally forged by Him, may be.
Resembling our life style, may be, not to some..
Fortnight later, it disappears….
Fortnight later, becomes effulgent….
Like, some days very gloomy and,
dormant, in one’s life….
some days bright and gale…
Life is nothing but a cycle of
eventful happenings, may be,
similar to moon, a cycle of
brightness and darkness..

Dull mind....

Mind becomes dull at times....
No thoughts.. No ideas..

For the past three months, I am away from 'studies'. That's forms the main reason.
Yes. Liveliness has gone out of my mind. Very dull... indolent....
No progress being made. Still standing in the same stage of life...

'Inhaling' and 'exhaling' are the two principle jobs in my daily life.. No proper itinerary for a day's work.

Yes. I think I should amend it. I should activate my mind otherwise it will be prone to decay. I think I'll have to be peart and exuberant.

One's mind should never go idle. It has to be effulgent enough. Otherwise life would become a dull stroll towards death...

It's his regime...

He has attained whatever he requires, whatever he craves for,  uncaring
about the consequences. He is someone extra-ordinary. Yes.
He discovers…. invents…
But still insatiable. Wants more. But ‘no problems’ does he feel…
Coz, he’s bestowed with something unique, compared to others, to achieve and attain his longings... He is overreaching… Never stops…That insatiability prevents him from ceasing. He hurtles in the field of science especially. Very fast….
He goes on and on and on……
He ideates  ‘it’s possible’. He is imbued with optimsm.
He has outflanked all others. He is a maven in all events. Yes. He rules every peck of this globe. It’s his regime.
He is “man”. Man is great.

Life...

What is life? Oh! Atman
answer me! what is life?
is it a process? or is it
a creation by anybody?
Or is it the palpitation of
something? or is it a
world of tranquility? or
is it a cavern? or is it
a volcano of indignance?
Or is it a pitch of
gratification? or is it a
progeny of something? or is it
a pool of savageness and
viciousness? or is it a vial for
bloodsheds? or is it an aura of
superstitions? or is it a residence
of serenity and wisdom?

Incessant, frantic inactivity...

Hmm...
Life is boring..
No plan. No work. No mind. No effort. No activity. Nothing. What to do?? Can any one suggest me?

Yes. I have finished my +2. And from April 1, I am free. I was elated for somedays that burden was all over. But nah......

It's 3 months since I worked something genuine. Life has become a bullock cart.. Doesnt flee. But crawls....

Very slow..

Mmm.. Yes. Had a friend here, who used to regale me. Gone..
he has gone somewhere..

Days are spent sleeping...
Tried to refurbish my house. Had no interest, but.

College might start somewhere in the middle of august. Still 40 days more..

I have become indecisive. Sometimes, I get ireful & irascible, thinking how to spend days. Every hour crawls.. but no idea, do I get on how to spend.

I am living a rural area. No entertainment. No amusement. Nothing.
Hm.. Even to get a nice pen, got to travel down 15 kms. Huh!

No fine friends in this proximity.
I am helpless, desperate..
Trying to find a solution to quell this inactivity...
Huh!

Nature – What a creation….

Reclining on my easy chair, I
was relishing the beauty of,
the mauve Daphne, Ah!
what a fragrance does it emit!!!
As sun was giving way for,
the dusk to rise up, it was
welcomed by the plashing
leaves of the rangy eucalyptus,
whose pliable branches ostracized,
some of the leaves, it owned, to the,
mud. Why? Why? Was, enmity, the
reason? Or is that tree atrocious?
Or, are the leaves ragged? ………
..a plethora of thoughts and doubts,
traveled through my mind. So I,
got riled and tried to cease,
probing on that. I rolled my eyelids
towards the sky and glared at the
stars. Inconspicuous.. and at the
moon, very jejune and melancholic
was it.. Bowing down my head, I caught
sight of a cat, with its bright eyes,
staring at me from the facade of,
my bungalow. Trying to hide my,
Fear, I replied it, with my fervid,
Sight on it. Raising from my seat,
I stepped on a grasshopper unknowingly.
Oh ! Oh! What a crime was that ?
Oh! What a mistake was that? Why?
Why should I do that ? What made me
do that? Why did I disturb the eirenic
nature? Oh! Why did I disturb your
creation? Tell me! You divine deity,
Tell me! Tell me!, I cried desperately.

Character..

Easily pulverizable will
be your imperils when,
your helping hands extend
on to the unaffordable...
Serene will be your,
days and happy will
your nature be, when
life is an unerring light,
and joy, its own security.
….Eternally eirenic will
be your life, if you are
benevolently, amiably
characterized. Eccentricity,
abounds when and where
strength of character abounds.
Life is a machine and
character its input,
output relies upon
character. Remedy for
atrociousness and
irascibleness is serenity,
which gives you a joyous,
plight less and peaceful
life to breathe….

You'll feel every bit of his music. I felt. One in one lakh might be a flop. That too is rare.
Is that Music, which he composes??
Nah, it's something superior than that.
He is divine.
Indolent? Does he know that word. I don't think so..
Very hard working.. No easy goings.. Huh!
He improvises every minute rather than getting satisfied with the first attempt.
Very eirenic will his music be. Yes. Can even make the SUN rise in the west.. This is no exaggerations.. Mind it.

Today, I was hearing some of his old tracks. I was lost u know..
Hey, Try quelling your goose - pimples, if you can, while you hear his compositions. Right?
His music gives us a taste of his superiority & love in Music.
Hey, Music comes from his heart and not from his mind.
But, u know, he is a simple person, but very realistic in his profession. Really god - gifted huh!

Ya. He is none other than A.R.RAHMAN, the man who can make you imbued with joy with his m..u..s..i..c.

A stride for death...

A buffer for want of death,
Climbed an arête with deep breath,
For he had the first heart attack
That shook him with a shock.
A rivulet, under the morning sun,
Had it’s serene run,
By the wayside producing a fetid
Smell creating a sense of trance, for
It had many odd smelling fishes
Ascending and descending
Down the rivulet.
The smell made the old man vomit,
Made him lie down the summit.
Rising up after a deep sleep,
Continued, the old man, his creep.
As the dusk rose up it’s head
The buffer had him fed,
As the temperature had it’s descent
The old man erected his tent.
As the dusk changed to dawn
He made his journey on,
Reached the edge breathtakingly
And glanced at the height wistfully.
The old man, getting terrified,
Hurried down the arête pacified.
As he descended down the arête in peace
He overcame the smell of the rivulet with ease.
Realizing his foolishness to die,
He traveled his way back home.

Crirtic..

Every man in this world is a critic. If a critic is dull-witted, he naturally exalts the value of the work of literature. He magnifies the value of work. In the same manner some glaikit people admire what wise men approve. A Critic must possess a vast knowledge of worldly affairs without which he cannot criticize. If we do not posses the necessary intellectual equipment we will not be able to estimate the true worth of anything. In order to make a true assessment of anything we should posses sense, wisdom and mental balance. So we should not plainly admire anything. We should probe on it to ensure if it is true to be admired. We should be able to see a thing as in itself it really is. There is the need for some sense and a set of values to measure the worth of anything. We should develop in ourselves, a practice of looking deep into matters, probing on it, trying to understand it without any flaw and then admire it if it is right or rise out your opinion on that if you feel that it doesn’t seem to be correct, instead of blind admiration. There is a good critic…

Terrorizing, it was…….

Plodding through a very thick,
forest, a boy was relaxing his
mind, for he had been hustled
out from his dwell for something.
Trying to forget his loneliness, he
did sing songs of various kinds…
which made him feel a bit relieving.
Striding, through the thicket and
through the gusty gale for a
considerable length of time, he
got exhausted and sat down
relaxingly. What am I going to
do for the night? How am I
going to manage the day? What
to do…….he was confused.
Juddering with intimidance,
he searched for water to have
a gulp of it. Oh! Water, Where
are you? Aren’t you humanitarian?
Aren’t you benevolent?.. After a
desperate search, fate gifted him
with a small pond alongside. Noticing
that, he quickened to that pond
and gulped the impure amrita and
forgot the world, till he was awakened
by the plashing shrubs and cuckoo
birds which hinted him that, it was
dawn. Continued, the boy his plod
to infinity, suddenly he was haunted
by devils. Oh! Help Me, I shouted, that
brought my mom and dad from their
rooms, to my enquiry. What made
me go to the forest? I questioned….
Oh!… What a nasty dream was it?
Very incredible, Oh divinity, What
made you haunt me like this?
May such dreams discontinue
in my life..Oh! Creator.

My City - How Liveable it is today? What can I do to make it more liveable?

This was the topic given to me for the state level essay competition which was hosted by THE HINDU jointly with THE UNO, which was held a few months back, and I was positioned third.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Thoothukudi – An Introduction:

Tuticorin or more recently rechristened as Thoothukudi to match with its Tamil equivalent is the city, I would like to write about being quite close to the village by. This city is also known as the Pearl City (or MuthuNagar
As we call it in Tamil) being the hub center for collection of pearls from the deep sea. This city has played a major role in the freedom movement against the British rule. From the port of Tuticorin was the first ship, which sailed with an Indian flag atop under the captainship of great freedom fighter V.O.Chidambaram Pillai. The Kattabomman brothers, Vanchinathan who have created history with their valor have lived around this port city. Tiruchendur, one of the six abodes of the Hindu deity is about 40 kilometres from Tuticorin. Since 1960’s the new port of Tuticorin has come into being and Tuticorin now is considered one of the major ports in our country.


How liveable is my city today? What can I do to make it more liveable?:

Well now let me come to the moot question “How livable is my city?” Before that let us perceive the criteria that make a city livable. First things first. One of the basic needs namely shelter should be available for its citizens at affordable prices. In Thoothukudi almost everybody has a shelter, even the poorest having holed up in hutments. The city is free of sky scrappers, the houses are little cramped in the city proper, but well laid out around the suburbs where quite a number of colonies having spring up during recent years. The cost of purchasing a land and constructing houses is definitely on the increase but still reachable to middle classes. The Port Trust colony, the Thermal Nagar colony, the SPIC Nagar colony, the Heavy Water Plant colony, the DCW ltd. Colony, the Tac Nagar colony are townships built by the concerned organizations with all necessary infrastructure. One thing about which Thoothukudi can be proud of is the almost non-existence of slum dwelling.
The educational facilities in and around Thoothukudi meet the needs of the children in this place what with a plethora of primary, secondary and Higher Secondary schools. Catering to both Tamil and English medium aspirants the colleges around dishing out degrees in Arts, Science, Engineering, Medicines, Fisheries, Law, Home Science etc. and thus Thoothukudi is firmly entrenched in the educational map of Tamilnadu.
Thoothukudi is a Railway Terminus from where we have access to all corners of our country, it has a non-functional airport (I for one am not able to appreciate the lethargy on the part of civil aviation authorities in providing fuelling facilities for the aircraft, the availability of which should make this airport agog with activities), buses both government and private run ply to the nook and corner of the city and we also have the waterways, the passenger ferry service to Sri Lanka. Though the major roads are well maintained the ones inside the city are full of potholes and need the attention of the civic authorities for carrying out repairs. Traffic congestions do take place despite the best efforts by the police department to divert the lorry traffic to the periphery.

There is no proper drainage system in place and the Buckle Canal needs to be thoroughly desilted for allowing proper flow into the sea. Drinking water to the people is supplied through municipal taps and tanker lorries but the demand far outweighs the supply and here is one area where efforts should be made for conserving water by digging out ponds and diverting the Tambiraparani river water, rain water harvesting etc..

With growing population of both men and motor vehicles, problems of pollution have started cropping up. Though the levels of oxides of Nitrogen and oxides of sulphur in the air may not be as high as in the metros or bigger cities, still I feel the switch over to CNG (Compressed Natural Gas in Delhi should apply to all cities and use of diesel for vehicles should be banned. Littering of plastic wastes is a menace in itself (for heaven sake do not brand me as a campaigner of Anti plastic lobbyists and I firmly believe the plastics are very much need for the sake of improving our national economy and no effort should be made to ban them. Let the Green Peace movement look for different pastures!) and the two-bucket garbage disposal scheme namely one for the plastic and the other for non-plastic must be in place. Here again the municipalities have to be woken up from their deep slumber and made to do what they are supposed to do – keep the city clean.

Job opportunities aren’t many given the kind of recession the country is undergoing through even though we have a few big industries around. However these are enough opportunities to star one’s own industry especially in the processing of seafoods, fishing, salt and related products. The SIPCOT complex at Milavittan provides the necessary infrastructure.

Thoothukudi is a place of varies culture and where communal harmony is quite prevalent. The annual festival of the church of Our Lady of Snows, where a golden chariot is hauled up attracts everyone the Christians, the Hindus and the Muslims alike.

Regarding health care, apart from the Government Hospitals, there are quite a few private ones which have the latest facilities and one need not venture out of town for medical attention except for major surgeries or problems connected with heart. Almost all major banks have their branches around the city and the latest facilities like ATM
(Automated Teller Machine) is being introduced. Cell phone facilities are available (The city police would do well to stop its use while driving) at affordable rates.

Conclusion:

In conclusion I would like to sum up by saying that the major problem confronting Thoothukudi is the supply of drinking water and as already mentioned earlier rain water harvesting must be made mandatory in all buildings. Digging of reservoirs for storing water (the big industries like SPIC, Sterlite, DCW, the Lions clubs, the Rotary Clubs can help in this regard) and diverting the Tambiraparani water before it meets the sea can be thought of.
The two-bucket scheme for garbage disposal should be implemented and the schools around should take a lead in educating the people. The Buckle Canal should be disilted and encroaches around this area should be relocated elsewhere. A citizens committee can be formed to monitor the functioning of civic bodies and the areas of concern like poor road maintainence, sanitation can be addressed to.
Should these be done, I believe, Thoothukudi will be a paradise on earth for one to live.

I conclude by quoting Robert Frost:

“The woods are lovely dark and deep,
But I have promises to keep,
And miles to go before I sleep,
And miles to go before I sleep”.

Dandiprats are most, renowned are some!

Renowned are some men,
Who revolve round the sun,
Egocentrically and uncaringly,

Renowned are some other men,
Who are not self-centered,
And breathe for others too.

Significant for their illegal acts,
Are some goons and glaikit people,

Dandiprats are most.

Some of them, eirenic,
Some, frolicsome,
Some of them serene,
And some yearn to be renowned.

Lepers and handicapped are some men,
Who wish for a flawless life,
Desire to be significant,
And will achieve that feat too.

On the contrary, flawless men,
Try to go by fate,
And will blame it, when under trouble,
Difficulty or inconvenience.

Twas 'Fate' ultimately..

Trying to slake her thirst, on a hot,
sultry summer afternoon, from a
wayside cistern, a girl tried to open
the gauzed door, which provided aegis,
to that cistern. “Is it very resilient to
unfasten? or am I not robust enough?
why should you hurt me, trounce me?
why shouldn’t you allow me to quench
my proliferating thirst? Tell me you divinity!
Am I not fit to have a gulp from this
cistern? Am I not gifted enough to
breathe in this globe? What is spurring
you to deny me from taking it? What
is walling you to grant me allowance?
Are you atrocious? Aren’t you ….
humanitarian?” The girl began to question
the divine as she was reaching the
apex of her dying thirst. Then
ultimately, she, out of desperation,
tried to open the door and tried
it with great diligence, when the
door trashed open and peeping in
through she could find no water in
it. ”All is my fate”, she uttered
desperately and went off in tranquility.
