Happy New Year

2010_eclipse

I came out of the church in the middle of the ceremony to take this photograph and went back. It was the first photograph of the year. I was fascinated by the occurence of both Lunar eclipse and the Blue moon (in my part of the world).

Happy new year!

Early Bird

Low light Photography! A challenging task yet a good opportunity to learn more about the camera you have. My early morning bicycle ride catches all these glimpse of life at street and gives the pleasure of the new day we have to celebrate our life we have.

It was taken in and around Velacherry, Chennai.

Amazing Choir! Hand simulated effort!

At 1:04 min the charisma of unanimous sound makes us feel the nature. Wonderful effort!

Depavali 2009

This year Chennai experienced an extravagant affair of sky-works in the city. It was quite a site to see all the colors illuminate the night sky and the festivity was on the air. All is done in way with fun.

This one moment in a century.

Well, I almost lost this opportunity and thanks to my wife and her timely remainder to this event. It is time to tell something important, then it struck to me, well, the post itself is something... to be there in the moment that's very unique with my beloved and doing what I love to do.We, the animals, are pron to all such petty pleasures to make life interesting and keep going. Giving a positive perspective of the life itself. And making life a beautiful most event of all.

Also the date and time has something to say about the unanimity of the format. At this very moment we look at time the same way universally. Basically I don't believe in time being viewed in a different perspective. As a matter of fact there is nothing called time, like as to say, time is everything; both means the same. what do you say? :)

Panic Kills More Than Pandemic

Media_http1bpblogspot_xqnpc
Swine Flu in Velacherry, Chennai, India. this being the place where I live, Velacherry is under spotlight after the maudlin demise of a 4 year old boy. Nearby schools have been declared holiday in the wake of the outbreak. People are almost in the brink of panic. We can see it in every other person we pass by. Most of them are either parents or hygiene freaks.

Every epidemic has a side effect, but for a pandemic it is going to be an outrage of panic people. The first thing to deal, in this link of situation is to setup access point for people to reach out for help both medical assistance or/and information. Not only the individual but the press and other representatives of any body. Panic kills more than a pandemic, now u Know. Let the wake-up call keep ringing till the Government gets the sense to hear it. They are whom we look out for help or are they the one to be helped. I don't know. God help those in need. Sigh!

Old Fashioned?!

To some, being old fashioned is like becoming socially taboo. But it actually was a happening trend some time back, which was a kick ass thing to do and people followed it for a long time and we call it tradition. I would like to remind these people, who find it too antique to follow, that one fine day, the values they thought was cool will be old fashioned as time passes by. Time is a healer but it eats the glamour. What are they going to say then... I can't wait see their faces.

Good virtues has always it's values buddy!

Have a nice day!

Daydreaming ain't a Day Dream any more

Media_http4bpblogspot_tbcth
Neuroscientist and some intelligent community of people have found that Day dreamers are best problem solvers. If you are a daydreamer, Cheers! You can solve the non-solubles.

This is not wierd stuff, University of British Columbia have a bunch of discoverers saying this. Well they say just because the person day dream, it extends the visualization ability to see the problem in a bird eye view and provide a better solution.

Well I'm good at that... I'm so happy about this discovery.

Wait a minute will they not going to take back what they said, better they not!

Excercise Your Franchise... if given a chance.

When I was in my schools, this line caught me at my civics class, "Exercise your franchise. Well thats for the responsible citizen and his constitutional rights. I doubt how many had the chance to execute it (either willingly or not) in the recent Election, as they say the 15TH LOK SABHA ELECTION. Does people know that it is the 15th or 75th election. It is the darkness that prevails, you can call it unawareness or corruption or whatever. But the election proved to be all-out feeding frenzy. The cash flow, favoritism, empowerment, election commission and the list keeps on elongating to our fascination.

Coming back to the "Un-given Chance", most of the people I knew didn't vote this time, or they were not given a chance to. Most of their names has been missed in the list of voters. I had the same problem too. Further investigating what could have happened, I found some interesting facts on list preparation. The people deployed for preparing the voters list where send in the hot sun, they were exhausted even before they start the door to door enlisting. Once they reach some residence (in Chennai), they find Tenants, where as the owners of the house might be enlisted. The Answer they get from the tenants are that they don't know about people around the place or about the owners'. This makes their job pretty messy. As a result they can't do any good and either mark them as not found or shifted. This in turn rendered as a big list of voters with no names in the list they have. It was shocking for most of the voters, not finding their names and return after a long wait in the queue under the hectic weather. That disappointment is worse than anything. This kind of victimization has not left the celebrities too. I heard Kamal Hasan was affected too.

I wondered this never happened to any politicians... or did anyone had, mmmm!
