Mediagraphy and security portfolio = Two bulbs

One day When I was in creamy inn (ice cream parlour) with my friends, my pg class mate rang me up and told that we ve got selected in mediagraphy (1^st  round-photography- topic-India is an open society). I got surprised and asked her for the final round topic. She told me that we ve to do documentary on topic “POPULATION IS AN ADVANTAGE OR FLAW”. From that moment i was thinking thinking thinking.... for two days and finally got a story for the documentary. Because of the influence of the previous year mediagraphy results we decided to shoot own documentary and we were strong that we shouldn’t get any videos from internet.   9am of 15^th oct, we should have to present our documentary but we had security portfolio internal test on 14^th eve , we had only one day i.e. 14^th (wed) to shoot and edit the documentary. I and my partner were frustrated and decided to give up mediagraphy and informed the organizer  about our critical situation. Unfortunately she didn’t allow us and requested us to do documentary, in fact she motivated and explained how they impressed in our photography(1^st round) and also told that we are the only team got selected without any compromise. These words boosted us and started to work for documentary. So we decided to ask O.D  for security test but we both scared to ask permission with sir, because unfortunately last class only we both had caught for proxy.. Though we hesitated, we requested the sir,but he didn’t give permission. He made us to write the test without studying anything.

In other hand we struggled a lot to shoot the documentary, according to our story we needed two children, and we felt very difficult to make them to act but we enjoyed lot with them. Finally we finished shooting somehow and I did editing for 1^st time with editing software which I got from my friend. We did editing as like professionals (he he he)with background music, flash back effects, transformation between each scene and some special effects. Finally our documentary got ready to release. We both were very confident in our story and we will get prize for sure. There were two judges from cine field, one is Saruhasan (kamal’s bro) and the second person is  Rajesh(sms,boss film director).

At last Our documentary shown in a big screen.. our documentary story goes like this… There will be two same situations but at a different time period i.e. in 1985 and 2010. scenes will come alternatively for. E.g. 1^st scene on 85 and 2^nd scene on 2010. The actual story was, In 1985 , one small girl will ask her mother to help her for oratorical competiton for the topic was population and like the same situation in 2010, a girl ask her mother to help her for the same topic population. 1985’s mom used to give negative points for population like unemployment, scarcity of resources, economic downturn etc.. and 2010’s mom will explain about the positives and how we can get utilized optimum of it with strong points like demographic dividend population i.e. youth power with statistical data by comparing other nations  and opportunities available to become a entrepreneur . CLIMAX is 85’s child got the prize as well as the 2010 child also won the prize. In 2010, after when the mom collecting the trophy from her child, she ll take the old trophy from the cupboard that is the end of our documentary. I.e. the 85’s child is the 2010’s mom. Without any dialogue at climax we conveyed our concept with two trophies and some flash back effects. That’s we concluded that the population is an advantage.

One of the judge’s director Rajesh started his comment as do u feel that you made justice to the topic which has given to you?  We both stunned and glared for a moment and started to argue  but he commented harshly that our concept not at all related to the topic  “The population is an advantage or flaw”. He told that your concept shows only the attitude differences. When we started to convince him he told open statement that its not good so better luck next time. As we came to know our results through comments we got disappoint and moved immediately (1^st bulb)without waiting for the results by thinking in what sense he told that our documentary is not at all related to the topic when they praised other’s documentaries who were all downloaded the videos from internet and merged with captions and songs..

Then in the next security class, sir gave the test marks and we both got very low marks                   (2^nd bulb). I dint get upset, in contrary I laughed and decided to cancel one of my favorite elective and striked the security subject in my exam application. This is the big bulb… L L

மூடநம்பிக்கை!!!!!!!

                  என் வாழ்கையில் நடந்த மறக்க முடியாத கசப்பான நிகழ்ச்சி ஆனால்  இன்று நினைத்து பார்த்தால் சிரிப்பு வருகிறது... என் உறவினர் ஒருவர் என் அம்மாவின் உடல் நலம் சரி இல்லாதலால் விழுப்புரம் அருகில் இரயானுர் கோவில்க்கு  சென்று சாமியாரிடம் பூஜை செய்தால் நோய் குணமாய்விடும் என்று என் குடும்பத்தை அழைத்து சென்றார். அங்கு போன பிறகுதான் உணர்ந்தேன் அது என் காதலை முறிக்க என்று.
              அந்த சாமியார் அருள்வாக்கு என்ற பெயரில் படு தமாஷ் பணினார். நீ காதலிக்கும் ஆண் கெட்டவன் உன்னை ஏமாற்றி விடுவான் அவனுக்கு பல பெண்கள்  தொடர்பு இருக்கிறது. அவன் ஒரு நாத்திகன் என்று  உண்மைக்கு புறம்பாக கூறினார். என்னவனுக்கு தெய்வ பக்தி அதிகம் என்பதும், அவன் என் மீது கொண்டுள்ள அன்பு   எவ்வளவு  அதிகம் என்பதும்  எனக்கு மட்டுமே தெரிந்த ஒன்றை என் பெற்றோருக்கும் மற்றவர்களுகும் நிருபிக்க வேண்டும் என்று என்னவனை உடனே சென்னையிலிருந்து  புறப்பட்டு வரும்படி sms  அனுப்பினேன் அவரும் 200 km கடந்து பூஜை முடிவதற்குள் வந்து சேர்ந்தார்.(பூஜை 8000 ருபாய் என்னை காதலில் இருந்து காப்பற்ற )
            என்னவனை பார்த்ததும் சாமியாற்கு  விழி பிதுங்கி விட்டது.. அப்படியே அந்தர் பல்டி அடித்து விட்டார்.. அவரை  பார்த்து உன் உண்மையான அன்பை காப்ற்றிகொள்ள இவளவு தூரம் வந்திருக்கிறாய், என்னை நம்பினால் உங்களுக்கு திருமணம் பண்ணி வைக்கிறேன் என்று சமாளித்தார்.. நான் விடவில்லை சற்று நேரம் முன்பு இவனுக்கு பல பெண்களிடம்  தொடர்பு இருகின்றது என்னை இவன் ஏமாற்றி விடுவான் என்று சொன்னிர்களே..என்றதற்கு இவர் நினைக்கவில்லை ஆனால் பல பெண்கள் இவரை தூண்ட  நினைகிறார்கள் என்று தமாஷ் பணினார். அதற்கு என்னவன் இவளை தவிர நான் யாரிடமும் நட்பாக கூட பழகுவதில்லை என்று சத்யம் செய்ய தடுமாறினார் சாமியார்..
           இதை எல்லாவற்றையும் பார்த்த என் அப்பாவிற்கு சாமியாரின் குட்டும் என்னவனின் உண்மையான அன்பும் புரிந்தது , சாமியாரிடம் போதும் சாமி, யார் ஒருவனும் ஏமாற்ற நினைப்பவன் 200km இவளவு சிக்கிரம் வரமாட்டன் அதுவும் இவளவு தைரியமாக எல்லார் முன்னிலையில்  பேசமாட்டார். எனக்கு நல்ல மாப்பிள்ளை கிடைத்து விட்டார் என்று சந்தோசப்பட்டார்.
          சாமியாரின் உச்சகட்ட தமாஷாக, நான்  பண்ண பரிகார பூஜையின் பலன் இவளவு சிக்கிரம் பலித்துவிட்டது பாருங்கள் இது 100 வருசத்துக்கு ஒரு முறைதான் நடக்கும்  என்று ஒரு போடு போட்டாரே செம தமாஷ் .!!!!
        சற்றே சமுதாய சிந்தனையோடு சிந்தித்து பார்த்தால்  ,அந்த  கிராமத்தை சேர்ந்த பெண்ணிருக்கு இப்படி ஊர் மக்கள் முன்னால் அருள்வாக்கு சொல்லிருந்தால், அப்பெண்ணின் எதிர்காலம்  கேள்விகுறிதான். ஊர் முழுக்க அப்பெண் பற்றிய வதந்தி பரவி அவளின் எதிர்காலம் மோசமாக இருந்திருக்கும் தற்கொலைக்கு கூட வழிவகுக நேரிடும்  அல்லது என்னையே எடுத்து கொண்டால்  அன்று மட்டும் என்னவன் வரவில்லை என்றால் என் அப்பா அந்த சாமியார் பேச்சை நம்பி கடைசிவரைக்கும் எங்கள் திருமனதிருக்கு ஒத்து கொண்டிருக்கமாட்டார். எங்கள் வாழ்க்கையும் கேள்விகுரியகதான் இருந்திருக்கும்.... முடனம்பிகையை ஒழிப்போம்  !!!!!!!

casteless society!!!!!!!! (enlighten through my friend)

               Two weeks back one of my close friend a guy invited me to his house for dasara (gollu) who had studied with me in primary school then we got separated and later became close friends through social networking site.

One fine Saturday evening i went along with another friend to his house, we crossed many ups and downs, pits etc.. that area made me to feel the post independence period and after many struggle we reached his house. Though the area is not good his house looks pretty with garden and made me to feel the peaceful. His parents welcome us traditionally. Along with us there were three more friends came to his house.

               When I ve started to look gollu its quite beautiful with 10 avatars dolls, meera, chettiar dolls and some of the lords dolls made the flashback flashes into my mind. when I was a child I forced my parents to celebrate gollu though we don’t have a such a custom of practice, my lovable parents fulfilled my wish. While I’m enjoying with my sweet memories his mom interrupted and told we are not getting sand made dolls in this area, here we can get only peengan dolls  its not looking good. The next moment i thought myself to get a good dolls for her sure.. from kuralagam(parrys) where i had bought cricket set, marriage set, garuda seva set, village set, parvathi shivan dolls etc.. With my dad when i was a child.

               His parents were more jovial and friendly. I liked them a lot and their innocent way of speaking without keeping anything in their mind. But my mind set at that time was that i came  to a  friend’s house for 1^st time so i have to be quite and calm in order to give respect for elders and to impress them. But his parents asked me lots of questions like how do you know my son, how you are maintaining friendship from the childhood, how you know the guy who came along with you etc which made me uncomfortable and I started blabbering something something because I don’t know how to explain our social networking friendship. I thought he would feel bad about me, so I tackled somewhat the situation and remained quite to avoid further questions.

              His parents are the pakka representatives of their community, I observed this by their way of speaking tamil, English and with their knowledge. Among us one of his colleague, a girl belongs to their community, both the girl and his parents made lots of comedy by praising each other, his parents asked us to sing a devotional songs, except that girl, no one learnt music and don’t know anything about ragam shruthi etc. so that girl sang a devotional song, her voice was very sweet but her throat dint help her to sing well. After when she finished singing his mom asked her it is kalayani ragam na? she told wrong and corrected with someother ragam and again his mom mentioned some keerthanai name and told this belongs to this keerthanai na? that girl again corrected with some other.. it was very funny to watch . That girl started praising or kidding his mom I don’t know, that his mom is very brilliant and knows everything.

           Then his parents asked me to sing, I hesitated and refused their request, for this they insulted me that you won’t shine in your law profession because you are very quite and we couldn’t believe that you are an advocate. This statement made me to worry a lot and thought of arguing with them like this… that who told you that advocate speaks a lot. This is a bad impression does everyone has, that’s not a real thing. Good lawyer never speaks lengthy we ll speak less but with strong points. Because words are our business so we don’t waste it unnecessarily.. but I dint argue with them I controlled my feelings and consoled myself to be calm and give respect to elders.

           Then they praised that girl indirectly with her area name MYLAPORE is a MYLAPORE you ve  been proved that you are from mylapore nu… this made me more shock and Finally at the end of the situation his mom gave some gifts and sundal, with that I left his house.

           While I was coming back to home I was thinking about the past generations.. even my dad is a more caste oriented person and used to spend much time in caste sangha which I  hate it .my dad used to tell that he is veera vanniyar and veeram flows in his blood but my mom only knows about his veeram ,he never come out if any quarrels happens wit neighbours, my mom alone fight with them (lol lol lol) .
          And also i was thinking and  wonder how is it possible to my friend to live without any community behaviour, I never find any such kind of community oriented behavior with him till now (2 decades). Even he used to tell that he doesn’t want a girlfriend in his caste, that shows his broad mind.

           When I reached home I got a call from my friend and he told me that their parents are usually more caste oriented and he doesn’t like that attitude. I feel proud of my friend and im lucky to have a friend like him. I feel enlighten through my friend and became confident that the next generation will surely live in and enjoy the casteless society!!!!!! If every youth live casteless life as like him now.
