SriRangam, Trichy 620 006 - Part One

October 20,1999

I am Arun aka Arun Kumar an Engineering student

this my routine life style..catch the 7:45 bus to Srirangam to Trichy junction get down at Main guard gate and wait for the college bus.

who are all my friends in srirangam??

Hmm no one..

why I don't have any friends?

that is a big story..for living in srirangam i have to follow the traditional principles..I am not the one among them,


don't you feel bad?

I feel relaxed not be the part of that group, my original life starts once I enter in to the college bus. I can my find my real friends here only..will do anything for me ..same I will also do anything for them..

Srirangam

land of Sri Ranganatha...in the cauvery river island..land of iyengars and iyers..

Iyers and Iyengars ...who are they?

they are also humans..Iyers and iyengars does not have any big difference how live their life. same sanskrit devotion, same cross thread ++ blah blah..but the main relation between them is so called self proclamation.

Hmm I am also one among them according to the certificates .

Morning 9 to evening 5..tight schedule in the college hours ..

Digital signal processing , still I believe the worst subject in my engineering life.. here the gold medallist latha mam would take the subject as usual. as a last bench guy i did not find any scope to deviate..rather not finding the changes ...most of the students were fully devoted on the subject.. knowledge transfer from our seniors its very hard paper to pass..

Most boring hour of the session is the question hour.. its just started...from latha mam..

krisnamurthy iyyer ,..what is the relative radiance of the analogue and digital signal?

luckily I just got escaped..I don't know any difference ...radiance the never appeared question in the semester exams.. then what is this hell.??.krishnamurthy is the name of the person.. what is this free affix the iyyer? is the degree he has crowned on his birth??

krishnamurthy iyyer hereafter krish answered in a such awesome way.. what is called as awesome.?? .the things which are not known to you or if I don't have any idea then it's called as awesome..

arun will you please get up..loud voice from latha mam..
will you answer the same question again??

mam mam...no idea about what you are talking about...!!!

you are also an iyyer see and learn the knowledge from the krish.. i never seen an iyyer boy showing this kind of ugliness in the class hours ..

entire class started laughing out me..the same class enjoys my comments during torture mathematics hours also...remember life is always turns at 360' .

every human being living in this world will have any special character ..latha mam may be good in science..but her human radical observation is bad.. ..this is my self proclamation..

class hour is over......that was the last hour for the day...now we have to walk and catch bus in NH45. chennai - trichy trunk highway... before boarding the bus its normal to have scrum across our gang..

echo's of voices..

arun..this is bad..you should leave this issue like this

you should take revenge..

Yes..this is the time for me to act like a agmark ISI iyyer or take revenge against the caste fanatics in the my caste...

ist possible for me to sung the Rudra which has around n number of paragraphs in the unknown language Sanskrit ? is't possible for me to get out early in the morning and chant krishna krishna govinda govinda at early hours of the day in the srirangam temple?? no chance at all..

then what else is possible..the easy way is taking revenge or teach lesson ..??
its day to day routine for me, some one volunteerly appears and examining the lessons ..

i can't go to temple and i can't act but at the same time i should prove not only myself but genetics of the human..every human has their own positives as well as negatives ..

operation lovers day....( let continue in the next post)

sabbatical

After 1095 days , i am on long leave..don't know how it was happened !! But i am sure..i 'm not in my control.but i like ...

spending my days with lots & lots of reading...starting from cheatan bhagat and with technical books too...

i really love these holidays ..out from office..occasionally reading mails traveling a lot ..exploring the mind spots in Bangalore.

i don't like Bangalore traffic jam..everywhere in all the roads the traffics jam chaos. starting from small gully to big roads every where the vehicles stranded to standstill..moves very rarely..

wanted to travel to the places in earth where I admire a lot..

Mysore........

its surprisingly the city mysore did not affected with bangalore chaos's and confusions.. mysore the city with great silence and lot of surprises ..so many tourists are flouring in the city ,lodges always have permanent hoarding at their entrance " No Rooms available this moment "..like how the rain pours the entire crowd vanishes frequently .

palaces, gardens , temples ..every where in the nook and corner of city something is available to admire and perish ..

srirangapattna...still the peasant of village atmospheric is exists..the replica of my childhood srirangam..just visited to traditional Renganatha temple.

as a pleasant surprise still living vowels prohibiting the age of the temple..huge construction..so many walls in the temples never seen the paint at his age time..broken idols ..but it did not matters at all.. i have found lot's and lot of places in srirangapatta to admire..including the prestigious jain temple..

across the river cauvery, sri rangapatna is among one out of four Sri Ranga temples..i am not hard core temple visitor to say half cooked atheist .,, but something in the temple attracted me a lot..there is no special darshan concept..i hardly believe that there should not be a any special darshan where riches would bypass with help of money on darshan..

at the time of praying god there should not be a difference in the darshans.everyone should follow the same rules. I started ignoring the Srirangam temple because of the partiality shown among the visitors.. luckily this sriranga pattna temple showing the excellence in guiding the pilgrims.

next the trip to triveni sangama..this place is already displayed in the most of the tamil movies..i wanted to have savari in the country boats..the boat driver showed his excellence...i just wanted to verify my skills in the swimming...but did not got a chance..

then finally KRS DAM bridhavan.. this is almost criminal work from the KSDTC..the show did not inspired me at all..better watchable in third rated south indian movie..may be a great thing during 70;s but now the water show did not gain any pleasant experience..KSTDC should update the concept ...during the earlier 2001 i visited the same place with my brother ...nothing changed..same music and same concept.

then Mysore palace ++... unforgettable experience ..
i am learning something new on each and every visit to Mysore..

now i hardly feel that i should settle some where around Mysore to enjoy my life at full sense..

War on Victims

May 18 2009

it's one more usual day for most of the people around the world. But it's boiling day for few peoples living some where in the loop corner of the world. it's the day brought the cease for the long aged violence story of the srilanka. Prabhakaran and his trusted aids were executed on the same day that brought the climax to the internal war in the island country.

Beginning on July 23, 1983, there was an on-and-off insurgency against the government by the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (the LTTE, also known as the Tamil Tigers), a separatist militant organization which fought to create an independent Tamil state named Tamil Eelam in the north and the east of the island. After a 30 year long military campaign, the Sri Lankan military defeated the Tamil Tigers in May 2009.




LTTE one of the ruthless terrorist organization and needless to say prabhakaran the one and only leader of the organization. Estimated 2 lakhs peoples lost their life's and 15 lakhs peoples lost their properties and relocated to each and every corner of the world. Today srilankan tamils living everywhere in the world with refugee status . Only Tamil cinema industry expanded their world market with help of migrants other than this every where chaos quarrels destruction's and losses .

what is the main reason for this internal war?

these are the variety of tamil speaking groups living in srilanka.
northern tamils living in island over ages ,jaffna is their main homeland

After independence the tamils from the northern part of srilanka claiming superiority in education, jobs and business. these tamil peoples never respected tamils from other part of the country even tamils from india. they considered themselves as superior to everyone.

but other side of country is totally in balanced. the majority of srilankans Sinhalese speaking community were living under poverty. srilankan government taken measures for region based reservation system which caused major damage to the northern tamils. the unbalance in the country created large level violence between tamils and singalesse . tamil as minority felt they are humiliated and taken arms demanding separate country for them.

Many militant organizations emerged but LTTE finished their successors and claimed sole responsibility of arm based liberation struggle.mainly northern tamils of srilanka involved in this war. this war is never supported by indian tamils(tea estate workers) living in srilanka

LTTE killed it's own tamil peoples, parallel tamil liberation organizations , violence against tamil speaking muslims , no rule no law dictating attitude but still it enjoyed support from the local peoples.

how its was possible ??

simple brain wash mantra...

i am the only saviour to you, if you out of the territory Sinhalese people will kill you. give money to me ...give your sons and daughters for us . they will fight for us and we will bring you the liberation.

they had eliminated almost all the moderate tamil leaders,. if anyone questioning against its leadership or decisions would be branded as traitors . needless to say traitors were assassinated badly. the under aged kids were given arms + cyanide capsules .. go and fight ..do or die..if you nabbed by enemy consume cyanide...

in the absence of the ahimsa and thoughts of fresh air the generations were brain washed for constant violence.. for the last 30 years almost all the schools were got destroyed because of crossfire. there would be atleast single damage to the each and every family living in the island nation. tamil language fanaticism made them almost sick with preprocessed mentality against the outside of the world.

There should be an end for anything, srilankan army launched their final assault on LTTE controlled area's. LTTE is totally destroyed and most of their leaders also either killed or arrested.

finally who won the war? what is benefit with this war?

since my childhood daily i am witnessing the shadows of this war. there was a time the tamilnadu offered enormus support for the tigers, but tigers back stabbed them by assassinating the rajiv . after this incident tigers lost the moral support from the main land of tamils. Tigers were able to win few battles , they were able to run parallel government in northern part of srilanka for few years. a section of media hailed prabhakaran as great hero and savior of tamils. prabhakaran always enjoyed luxury life never appeared in front of people. his kids had luxury life in European countries but poor children were compelled to wage war.

The real popularity of any person can be witnessed only after his death. the end of prabhakaran is so lamentable. No one came forward at least perform his end rituals. the man proclaimed as great warrior finally dis pressed in the air alone. today prabhakaran's mother is begging indian government for her entry. the man unable to maintain his family how can be called as a leader ??

here i can see the importance of leaders like gandhi, controlling the emotions of the people and guiding them with good energy.non violence + ahimsa at least would have helped the people from both side's by saving lives of lakhs.

prabhakaran kind of peoples can be admired by few peoples ,,,but truth always sucks..they knows only to whistle and clap when their team win;s the game.

the sad end of prabhakaran led gang is the best learning for the modern society .the need of ahimsa , need of freedom of speech the need of non violence. prabhakaran may have few good qualities but his the way of execution brought only the sorrows..the war he waged against victims and hiding behind innocents not only killed him but also the many innocents too. finally he did not achieved anything. It's good learning for any language speaking groups on the grounds of the language fanaticism .

Recently watched two Tamil Movies...


Angadi Theru ( Commercial street) - PVR Cinemas

Fresh air in the regular masala movies world.

Story based on the poor workers of the famous Chennai Ranganathan street.

The one-stop shop wonders that attract thousands of shoppers and spin the wheels of commerce are actually spun by the sweaty and sleep-deprived hungry youth of Tamil Nadu.

While they have jobs that allow them to send home desperately-needed money, their working conditions are pathetic. But the young sweat it out, despite lacking fundamental rights, including the freedom to fall in love.

Vijay Anthony and GV Prakash have teamed up for the music, and ‘Aval appadi onrum azhagillai’ is the pick of the lot.

i very much involved with subject ,Vasantha Balan, the director of the movie should be appreciated for giving such a decent and practical movie

Baiyaa ( Brother) - Inox JayaNagar

Nothing much to say about this movie.



one line of the story is beautiful but worst screenplay spoils the show.

Tamanna wants to reach mumbai urgently from bangalore. she travels with Karthik in national highway.. some sentiments, fight scenes, songs..usual masala...

best part of the movies are picturisation of Bangalore, sivasamudram, North karnataka ..nothing else to add.

one more...

i m no longer to be called as 'youth'..crossing the prestigious age bar thirty.


I don't have any big time sentiment with birthday.. ..it's usual one more day in the life.

i very much expected one person would say Happy B'Day wishes to me..but finally it did not happened..writing this post after getting bad disappointment just happened 45 minutes ago while waiting for lift to go down.


human memory..a awesome thing ..

without having sweet memories life would un- fertile


just remembering about 'The Law of the Garbage Truck: - '.

. One day I hopped in a taxi and we took off for the airport.

We were driving in the right lane when suddenly a black car jumped out of a parking space right in front of us.


My taxi driver slammed on his brakes, skidded, and missed the other car by just inches. The driver of the other car whipped his head around, started yelling at us, and flipped us the bird. My taxi driver just smiled and waved at the guy. And I mean, he was really friendly.


So I asked, "Why did you just do that? That guy almost ruined your car and sent us to the hospital." This is when my taxi driver taught me what I now call, 'The Law of the Garbage Truck.' He explained that many people are like garbage trucks. They run around full of garbage, full of frustration, full of anger, and full of disappointment.

As their garbage piles up, they need a place to dump it and sometimes they'll dump it on you. Don't take it personally. Just smile, wave, wish them well, and move on. Don't take their garbage and spread it to other people at work, at home, or on the streets.

The bottom line is that successful people do not let garbage trucks take over their day. Life's too short to wake up in the morning with regrets, so.....

Love the people who treat you right. Pray for the ones who don't.

Life is ten percent what you make it and ninety percent how you take it.

Day by Day..

Today one of the saddest day in my life ..
not in the mood to write further..

should recover soon and start writing about the my past days in Srirangam..srirangam era,,,

Few snaps from my Nikkon

Project - the Transmitter

April 6 - 1997

it was not an usual Sunday..we had just won the game against St Joesph School team.
it's tennis ball cricket match..prize money - 500 rupees ..

we

Alex - Team captain
Raju - Opening batsman
finally its me - Arun - wicket keeper + batsman

leave about other peoples in the team they are not the part of this project ...

we are all belongs to same street but different schools ..playing under banner of Trichy KK Nagar Cricket club..

Alex doing 12th standard..eldest in our group.
Raju - 11 the std..
Arun - First year polytechnic student..

Don't know what do with the money, five hundred... lump sum which we never seen in our life time..some how managed to give soup to rest of the team mates..

reasons are plenty.. ball purchase, stump repair, bat purchase..

let us go for rajini movie - arunachalam..running @ cauvery theatre its my idea..
common guys we should spend this money for the valid reason...should not waste the money...its from raju..
hey leave your idea..my plans are totally different ..we should take revenge tat ranga ..

ranga aka Rangacharri..retired TNEB chief engineer..current post is KK Nagar building association leader.

if you are a regular the hindu reader then definitely you must know about him. his contributions to letters to the editor were so famous.. 88 A bus is not coming at right time .. 88 LSS buses were halting and taking passengers at all the stops..



so what is our problem with him??

Rangachaari hereafter charri don't like street cricketers ..he don't like foot board traveling ,cycle razing ,,,more over he don't like anything in this world that were admired by teen ager's.

chaari often interferes in our route , our life, our game ..
so many times he had stopped our games with the help of security guards.. he would steal the ball and bat.. later the same ball and bat can be found with charri's six year old grandson...it would be much irritating.

most of our cover drives would attack charri's bedroom windows..then as usual we would look for money to buy new one to continue the game..

already we tried revenge on him..puncturing his bajaj chetak..but the plan is half cooked and alex got caught red hand.. issue went to alex father ..then what will happen ??..the same father to son relationship stories....

this time the plan should not fail..we should show our innovation....

we have five hundred ruppes ,, we can do anything ...
we can arrange local rowdies and ask them to throw stones at charri's home at night time.. but danger side all the local rowdies were scared of charri..

common guys we should do it..this is from alex..arun i have an excellent idea..purely innovative ..why can't we start an new radio station and transmit anti - charri slogan's? no one would doubt us and charri would also confused..

mini transmitter.. this is my polytechnic electronics lab demo project..transmitting radio waves in medium range frequency. but i am fazed ..transmitting radio waves without approval is against law.

who cares about law , we are young peoples we should change this country and should break all the rules. have you forgotten the the message from the movie indian or bashaa?

yes arun we should do it..this is from raju..

these guys don't know anything about electronics..assembling diodes and capacitors and transmitting Radio waves is not a simple story..but let's try..

project cost is 400 rupees ..everything is available in electronic bazzar ..

couple of diode's , capacitors and resistors ..and 5 hours breath with soldering iron..now our new circuit is ready..

its simple transmitter capable to transmit waves up to 100 meters.if it's placed above the 50 meters from the ground level then the waves can be received to 250 meters ..

now circuit is ready...to execute the project now we need an mike + radio,....
mike arranged by raju...he snatched it from his uncle's audio system..alex arranged an pocket radio...

so my job is over..let us escape from this execution group ...


project executing commander alex started issuing orders ..

guys... this is charri 's regular routine..

he will get up early in morning ,he would start tuning in to all india radio trichy station at 5.45. he is the keen follower of the 6:45 news ...we would keep our transmitter in my home..at top terrace..alex home is just 50 meters from charri's home..arun adjust the transmitter pod to 990khZ as same as trichy station.because of nearest our transmitter would surpass the trichy station Medium waves..

tomorrow morning all india radio trichy would announce different news in our street, instead of morning devotional songs it would transmit pettai rap .. alex is in full swing...raju would be the morning news reader and arun you should take care of technical support.

ok boss..my plan is simple..tune the radio to 990khz but should not come out of home..should monitor the events..

alex and raju collected rare hits songs from music director Deva..most of the deva songs would be the mixture of jackson + saavu melam ( the music played in the funeral) it would be perfect blend to disturb any one during morning time..

another 12 hours to go.. alex already started transmitting in test frequency..hello hello hello mike testing 123 123..can you hear me..hey charii &***$$%% **##

as expected morning show started.. instead of subrabatham trichy station started transmitting A R Rehman pettai rap song..then followed by Deva songs.. 6:45 news started...

Vanakkam ..this is all india radio..headlines..KK Nagar Building association leader Rangacharri scandals exposed.he has looted 10,000 ruppes from the park development fund ,,rangacharri is booked under human harassment law.. .. i could not able to control myself.. started dancing..our enemy is gone .i can see charri standing out side of his home and shouting with this radio..

sports news : Trichy KK Nager Cricket club has played marvelous innings against St Joesph school team ..captain alex and opener raju both played excellent innings.

i don't know why these guys doing self appraisal at this time :(

as usual my day started... went to polytechnic..during afternoon time i got a call from the office room..
Arun, there is an urgent call from your home..go to home immediately.. don't know what happen ???

some how able to catch the bus & now i am entering my street..i can see big crowd headed by Charri..

charri is not a fool..got doubt with special sports news and started his investigation..Alex did not stopped the play untill 10 AM.he started abusing charri + his family after 7.. i with help of local security walkie talkie traced the place of transmission.

the project mission is succesfull +, execution is failed.:(
how dare..who gave guts to do like this..their parents should be punished..i will call police..blah blah..queries ..en- query ..lasted for 4 hours..

now its ingratiation time ..as usual i become app rover..
the transmitter kid was ceased by charri...mm it would be going to be an another toy for his grandson...

after an month..

we relocated to srirangam..another area in trichy.. this charri fumed a budding engineer. :( my father did not wanted to stay further in KK Nagar, to safeguard my life :)

alex moved to chennai and raju's family moved to Tanjore ( thanjavur)..

now...

Arun - After transmitters ,polytechnic and finally become Electronics Engineering graduate but working in software..
Raju - After initial news reading stuff, finished his MBA working in Australisan broadcasting corporation - south east Asia division as a news in charge.
Alex - After initial exp as leader, leading the team from front..now working as a commander in Indian Army

(* Names changed except mine )

Flutters - 28- 02- 2010

yes, i am also joined in the troop those who had already watched, the most expected tamil movie

Vinnai Thandi Varuvaaya - Will you Cross the Skies for Me?)..

i admire most of the gautam menon's directorial s .. starting from this first movie Minnale(RHTM in hindi)..to last one Vaaranam aayiram..

Vinnaithaandi Varuvaayaa is also not an exceptional..its an regular Gautam's exclusive stylish film..154 minutes feel good experience .. The story is also not new..but the directorial touch and screenplay makes the difference ..

Simbu (karthik) falls in love with Trisha (Jessy)..

Simbu an engineering passed out looking for chances in the film industry , trisha ..a software engineer working for polaris.

simbu from a tamil hindu family..trisha..from orthodox malayalee Christian family .

the screen play narrates the love and blame , hide and seek game between the two..

the narration is fantastic it traverses the feelings exactly..

A R Rehman music also one of the most supporting character in the movie..

i very much the liked the narration of the movie..have to watch it again.. at least the first half of the movie.

Movie message : love is not preplanned..it should hit at unexpected moment..it would give immense to ac-chive anything in the life.

well done and thanks Mr.gautam..Now i don't have any idea of watching one more tamil movie at least for couple of months..you have given more than enough which i wanted..

-*-

well ...marriages made in heaven and life is made in hell??

is't anything wrong in not getting married and living single ??

its become my day to date routine for answering the questions related to my marriage..like taking bath and eating food...is't really sin to live single at this point of my life time???

oh god some times it really irritates me for answering such questions ...last week met few relatives from mom side @ my home..as usual same questions .out of them one lady started thinking herself as an mind reader ..free advises ..counsels...blah blah..i don't know why this society considering few things so strongly??

marriage is an bond between two friends and love between them should emerge naturally .it should not be based on any compulsion..life is not an board examination or race to state proud with ranks & grades..

after the marriage the same society would come up with different questions..

you people still don't have kids?

my son in law's kids are got admission in ooty board school ,why your kids are still in local school?

my sister in law's grand son's taken first rank in the SI completion what about yours?

ofcourse there is no end slide for meaningless questions....

Whale..

Last saturday we found an dead whale in chennai coast..Valmiki nagar beach.

captured the moments the of the buriyal ..
