Yesterday Vs Tomorrow

Air Pollution - Because of the harmful emission of gases by the turbines, nu solla aasayathaan iruku. Oru flow ku nalla thaan irukum. But it is because of the same effect by the vehicles on road.
Sound Pollution - Silla Sandai Sacharava veetla irukarathu arasiyalla sagajam appa but it is because of the 24 hours honking vehicles.
Bread jam vida koduramanathu inda Traffic Jam.
Being a college going student in a busy busy busy city, i get to experience them daily.
But yesterday when i was taking a walk along the roads of my village at around 7, it was all silent. I very rarely heard a sound, that too mostly of the cycle bell. Very calm streets with very few people moving around. The fresh cold air blowing across my face, the aroma of the earth filling m nose. To add an icing to the cake, there was a power cut (no no ethum thappu nadakala.) and i was guided by the moonlight (nadakarathukuthaan). I have no clue as to when i will get to experience these all again, but it just goes down in my books as a memory. When i get up tomorrow, i will be ready to face the fast moving world. I will have to get adjusted to the same fast walk from home to college in the heavy traffic to bear the lectures and the lecturers. And off course to meet my friendsssssssssssssssssssssssssss whom i had missssssssssssseeeeeeeddddddddddddd!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The nearer, the farther. The farther, the nearer.

I was watching a television show in Vijay tv which Gopi was hosting. A realisation was put forth to the Ayarathil Oruvan crew. The movie had made a guy to read about his hometown Tanjore. This is not the first time that something like this is happening. When something is nearer to us, we seldom care about that. In fact we dont even care to bother about that. But we are very much eager to know more about things which are very far from us. Well many of us know about the egyptian mummies, but if the same question is asked about the Ahgori's of Kasi, many of us would just blink as if they were asked a question about some other universe in existence. Even i wouldnt have known until i saw the movie Nan Kadavul. I was taking a stroll with my friend in the streets near my college. His mom had asked him to visit a temple and he had not done that. The best part was the temple was just 5 mins walk from our college and he was staying there for nearly 6 months. Is this take it for granted attitude going to help us. Why others, let me take my own example. The National Library (The largest library of our Country.) was just 2 mins from my home in Kolkata. But i never bothered to go there. But there are exceptions in my case, One is the restaurant and the other is the Cinema theatre. I have never hesitated to go there because i like both or may be that was one of my way of passing time. Even Humans are not spared. When a customer goes to a shop to buy something, the shopkeeper would be more than keen to help him. When the same help is needed at home, it rarely happens. This attitude is not going to help us in any way as things get farther, we feel a slight tinge of pain of not having acknowledged that.

Good Morning or Good Night

Starting Sun rays, Winter chillness, Bed Horlics, Blinking Mobile, Grandmom's Sundry (Tamil one. I dont know the English Version.), the list goes on............
This is the effect of getting up early in the morning.
But how can i not acknowledge the satisfaction of getting up late.
Moms/Dads pleading/scolding/threatening to wake us up,
Mom/Dad 2 more minutes, i will get up surely and taking more than 2 hours to get up,
reading all the messages that was bombarded in the cell,
taking a hot afternoon bath,
eating lunch as if you have not seen food for many days,
a short nap for 3-4 hours after lunch.
Oh my, why should i miss all these comfort of getting up late. I know every individual has his/her preference, BUT......................................................

Drive or Fly

After so many wishful days, my long time wish was going to be realized. I was given the huge responsibility of delivering an important parcel in chennai. My long time wish was to fly an aircraft and that day i had got the chance to choose an aircraft of my choice and fly it to chennai single handedly from mumbai. I accepted the offer immediately with my 32 flashing close up smile. Each cell of my body was roaring to get into the aircraft and enjoy the fly. I got my things ready for the journey. The moment was nearing and i was too excited. I bid goodbye to all those present there. There i was, me and my vehicle standing tall. It was all mine. I was going to fly it all alone. I thanked the one for this wonderful opportunity and kept my right foot in. I felt like a King, sitting on the seat. After checking the basic controls, i was all set to fly. I started the engine. The sense of fulfilment ran all across my body. The runaway was all in my front. I was moving the aircraft, slowly increasing the speed. I had brought the aircraft to top speed and was about to take off, when i realized that the aircraft had developed some technical glitch. I applied the brakes immediately. That woke me up from my day dream and brought me back to my senses. I was just driving an ALTO. And the important parcel was nothing but the sweets which i had got for my grandma. I was just going to my moms native from my dads. And my ivalo build up ethuku, my long time wish was to just drive a car as it had been 6 long months since i had experienced the car drive at 100. And i had to apply the brakes immediately because of a stupid error committed by an auto driver in front. Though i had just driven an Alto, the feel was the same as to fly an aircraft. At last, i reached my grandma's place to experience another shower of love.

Missed!!!

Ithu oru kevalamana -------, but still natpukaaga....summa lulolaiku....

You miss,
They miss.
If you dont miss,
You dont know miss.
Miss is not the Ms,
but Miss is the miss of presence and essence of friendship.

Powerful tool for Presentation

After a recent goof up in a presentation, i was just self introspecting as to how to improve my quality of presentations in every possible way.
This just struck my mind. Not sure how far it will help.

Main problem that everyone faces while presenting, is the stage fear and the fear of so many audiences. Even experienced speakers have a little tinge of fear when they go on stage. It is kinda inevitable. But one such tool can really reduce the impact.

It is simple yet a powerful tool.

IMAGINATION.

When you go on stage, just imagine that you are addressing a group of buffoons or a group of cartoon characters. How would it feel to address those cartoon characters. Wont it reduce the tension multifold? Or Just imagine you are standing on the roof top and proposing a girl (for guys. For girls it is the other way. If it is the same, i have no comments.). It can go on and on. Training you mind is difficult, but when done it makes our job much easier.

I am yet to try it out. Go ahead and try it, I am sure it will be fun.
