Green Book, Digantar, Jaane Tu, Kaaki Sattai

Dear buddy

I am getting little bored nowadays and not getting the mood to write posts.. Unlike the prev post, there glowed a bulb in my mind to write a post on the topic. This post is just to share some info, experiences and my new interests.

Coming to the info part,

1. Green Book

More and more campaigning are going in many parts of the world for Energy saving and Carbon emission curbing.. I came across an interesting book, a ebook and a green boook, which I hope we all must go through and try to use as much as we CAN.

http://www.morganstanley.com/about/community/littlegreenebook/

2. Digantar.

An article about a new schooling method in India. How a couple’s desire for building a school with REAL LIFE learning and methods, helped bring down Female illiteracy of 98% down to 12% in a remote village. I liked the primary concept of equalities among the casts, only when a child grows with all level of families of income, he/she (Thanks to Naga 🙂 ) does knows what is real world.

See the today’s rich adults., many of the adults who have been grown up in international public schools, TILL AN AGE, does not know what is the value of the money. How a Rs. 1500 note given for a ‘Bowling’ session + Food can help feed a whole orphanage for a meal. The environment they grow, from child hood to rich schools, which charge 1 or 2 Lakh / Annum for <blah blah> they does not know the real pain a co existing child gets to work for earning his daily bread. If you justify it is of personal interest and for entertainment, and why should I alone care for it, you are perfectly Irresponsible.  I dont blame all such adults, there are people from their stature doing many good support activities for under previleged. Hats off to them.

Well, too much of my words, read the article.

http://epaper.timesofindia.com/Default/Scripting/ArticleWin.asp?From=Archive&Source=Page&Skin=TOI&BaseHref=TOICH/2008/08/03&PageLabel=2&EntityId=Ar00200&ViewMode=HTML&GZ=

Coming to the experience part,

I happened to watch (the more appropriate word would be MOVED BY) a movie I watched recently, Jaane Tu. I like the movie very much,

• not alone because of the great enthusiasm it brought out soon after watching the movie.
• not alone because of the crisp and cool humor in Father Son sentiment and Dialogue
• not alone because it makes me feel, ‘Where s my Love?’.. Well I ll need to put a * here
• not alone because Genelia is one of my favourite heroins.

There are many reasons why I liked it.

My new interests….

To be frank, I am very poor in movies stuff., be it old tamil movies, or famous Engish movies or Block buster Hindi movies, I have seen very choosy movies. And since ipo neraya neram konjam vetti ah irukarathunala, I have recently started colleting a lot of movies which I can watch in that time..

Present list I ve bought and yet to watch is (You can see various Genres)

1. Die Hard I, II
2. Wanted
3. Schindler’s list
4. Juno
5. Kung fu Panda (missed to watch in Theatre)
6. Forrest Gump
7. Old James bondmovies (First 007)
8. Dil to Pagal Hai
9. Kabhi kushi Kabhi Gam
10. Kaho naa pyar hai
11. Rang De Basanthi
12. Maha Nadihan 😉
13. Kaaki Sattai
14. Sarkar ( I watched Sarkar Raj, inspired by its dialogues I ve bought this)

And some more movies I forgot.. Konjam konjama paakalam.. Mudunja ethachum review panren.

Sari, indha varathuku aruvai potachu nenakaren.

When will I light myself ?

On a pleasant tuesday afternoon . . .

Normally the narrations begin with the title as ‘A fine sunday morning’ or ‘A fine rainy day’ for a pleasant story. But things has made me to title this post with a fine tuesday afternoon. Yes, the job shifts are taking a toll on my personal life. This evening brought me nostalgia about my pleasant child hood and my future dreams.

On a fine tuesday afternoon, I am sitting in a chair outside my home trying to catch the magic of soft drizzling on me. It is raining pleasantly in a classy coimbatore weather. I see the ripples of water going round and round, bringing the nsotalgia I told. I am sitting with a pleasant novel in my hand, ‘Eleven Minutes’ by Paul Coelho, the book composed my dreams. The day has not been great for me, as it has started to question the choice I had made some months ago. I would not say it that was the easiest of the choices you make in your life. I had in my hand, the two options for career, land in a IT job and replace my dad in his business.

The arguments for both choices were pretty equal. For the first choice being, as I told it was my dream career, I had my passion for computers right from the time I had knowledge about computers on Grade 7, besides the IT industry was booming well, all my friends pursued the same path after college (well, this is a weak point), you lead a settled life (monthly salary, no risks I thought, tension less unlike the business gamble). The second choice has equal arguments too that I can replace my dad soon after taking over my dad’s concern ( a small scale spinning unit), give his rest for his looong tiresome days (he was 18 when he started working and still he works, it s 38 years my dear), stay close to the family as always (which is a dream for me now and by family I mean all the relatives too, it is a much bonded group we have in here, CBE people may know well I hope), and you have your business in hand, no need to bow to anything except for love.

I made my first choice as I had shown a few interest towards textile field right from my Grade12 (I chose EEE not Textile tech in PSG Tech famous for its Textile course), and the running of the mill has not shown much scope (it was bad when I made the choice, now from bad to worse). My father has accomplished his dream of being a entreuprener (what the heckof spelling here), and owning a spinning mill, and my parents in the first hand pushing me not to continue this business and opt for the IT job.

I made my choice.

Now things are getting tough here back home, though I do my best to give my best financial help for their well being and emotional support. Thats the max I can do now wothout taking a frastic change in my choice. The various daily works and the labour tensions (well, I really cant list that here, to make it simple – in IT terms the attrition rate here would be as good as 50% – guess the scenario). Well, dont please kid by giving the idea of keeping an assistant or a manager. The situation back here is all the assistants we keep give added tension by taking the labourers from our concern when they leave of the company, and to make it worse, they make a agreement as simple as this. The labourers give them a part of their salary every day for their inaction in work not be questioned. We cant watch them close as of 24*7. And my father is a gentle person, with a pleasant heart, not the kind of beating and things happening in other concerns around. I am proud of his character, but this won be suitable here, unfortunately. He is exhausted now I can see, but yet uncomplaining. He hides his feelings to himself.

  Well, my dad has did his part of showing me the "Road to be walked upon". When will I show the same to a person who is a candle for me giving his light. I am determined to light myself soon WELL before the candle fades away. But time is a cruel warden I hope, it doesn’t allow you to resue the prisoner for sentiments.  I hear someone saying, "Actions speak louder than words". Buddy, I have no choice but to wait for minimum of few (3-4) years before I get settled here., as I dont want to get moved for emotions and downgrade my long term goals.

I dream a end to all this soon, a relief for my dad with weekly temple trips for him, a wonderful day daily with my mom, a weekly trip to meet my cousins, a bi-monthly trip with family to some temples, a bi-yearly vacation somewhere. One with friends, another with family. Oru thennandhoppu in my thottam, a warm new, old style farm house. A new classic home.

This is not a great desire what I have. I hope the reality be more than imagination.

Love, CK.

 

Washup – A Concept Interior

Hello all,

An idea of building a dream home has been popping into my Mind, right from my school days, when I used to draw my simple architectural drawings 😉 as to where does what goes. Ofcourse just when I finished my idea, my Mom would pop out saying that doesn’t go well with vasthu stuff.

Various situations have now led me to hate the vasthu and hororscope stuff than ever recently.  A few months ago, my dream home plan started kicking off with all set. But now it s a bit postponed., due to various happenings of beliefs of Mom and Dad I couldn’t refuse. After all, with only they being happy I can build a Dream Home, else I can build just a house with bricks. So the plans is kicked off to atleast 1.5 to 2 years.

Now, to take everything in a postive sense, I am taking this oppurtunity to make the Dream Home the DREAM HOME. As I was always interested in interiors of the home., I surf through and get the knowledge, and read through, “Inside Outside”. I am gathering as much knowledge as could to make a good house. Now as a blog visitor you get that free..

When I started to search for this, I got up with a different article a “Washup” – Toilet and Washing Machine in one.. This may suit you if you are an eco friendly and space stringent persons.

Thats it for today..

Packing off. CK.

 

Sachin is ‘Him’ not ‘him’

Peter Roebuck would not have thought even a whisker before he wrote about Him recently just before the famed CB triseries finals. He was quoting about need of Him to retire and concentrate in the family., rather than playing in international matches. And as Dhoni rightly quoted, “You must be careful when you criticize or evaluate Him, he can return to form in no time”.

Sachin’s Bat did the talk for Roebuck and the rest is history.

The quality of Him which made me and many others like the most is His humble nature, with childish smile, quietly passing through sorry paving a new way through in the religion of Cricket. He is a messiah. I wonder how I would bear the feelings after some years, when I would miss Him from International cricket. But I dont think, now there is a room for my feelings. There are enough years that He would play, making runs and records that a fresher of cricket would ever dream of making. Especially the total number of runs ( ODIs and Tests ), only God can beat that. A true inspiration to me.
