Bharati Kannamma - 5

       It is a interesting poetry , where many of us experiencing love would have felt it atleast once .... The poem is about Kannamma who promises that she will come and meet Bharati but she wouldn't turn up and this upsets Bharati and comes the poem ....


தீர்த்தக் கரையினிலே - தெற்கு மூலையில்
செண்பகத் தோட்டத்திலே,
பார்த்திருந்தால் வருவேன் - வெண்ணிலாவிலே
பாங்கியோ டென்று சொன்னாய்.

On the bank of river, southern corner, in the champak garden, when moon shines you said you will come with your friend ...

வார்த்தை தவறிவிட்டாய் - அடி கண்ணம்மா!
மார்பு துடிக்கு தடீ!
பார்த்த விடத்திலெல்லாம் - உன்னைப்போலவே
பாவை தெரியு தடீ

But you didn't come, My heart is paining (beating hard ) Kannamma, Wherever i see, i can see only your images !!

மேனி கொதிக்கு தடீ! - தலை சுற்றியே
வேதனை செய்கு தடீ!
வானி லிடத்தை யெல்லாம் - இந்த வெண்ணிலா
வந்து தழுவுது பார்! 

I am burning, i am feeling dizzy and disturbed, don't you see moon embracing sky ??

மோனத் திருக்கு தடீ! - இந்த வையகம்
மூழ்கித் துயிலினிலே.
நானொருவன் மட்டிலும் - பிரி வென்பதோர்
நரகத் துழலுவதோ?

Its silent, everyone is sleeping, should i alone suffer in hell because of your separation??

கடுமை யுடைய தடீ! - எந்த நேரமும்
காவலுன் மாளிகையில்;
அடிமை புகுந்த பின்னும் - எண்ணும்போது நான்
அங்கு வருவதற் கில்லை 

The security in your palace is always tight ,Even after slaves enter, I cant come when i wanna see you ...

கொடுமை பொறுக்க வில்லை - கட்டுங் காவலும்
கூடிக் கிடக்கு தங்கே;
நடுமை யரசி யவள் - எதற் காகவோ
நாணிக் குலைந்திடுவாள்

I couldn't tolerate the tort anymore, the security is very large, I believed you to be impartial then why are you feeling shy to see me ...

கூடிப் பிரியாமலே - ஓரி ராவெலாம்
கொஞ்சிக் குலவி யங்கே,
ஆடி விளை யாடியே, - உன்றன் மேனியை
ஆயிரங் கோடி முறை

நாடித் தழுவி மனக் - குறை தீர்ந்து நான்
நல்ல களி யெய்தியே,
பாடிப் பரவசமாய் - நிற்கவே தவம்
பண்ணிய தில்லை யடி

After meeting without getting separated, all night we would have cuddled, we could have played, i could have caressed you a million times, i could have forgot all sufferings and could have attained happiness, We could have sung happy songs together but i am not lucky enough for all that to happen...

                   I was studying grade 3, when that incident happened, like every mom, my mom also wanted me to join classical dance class, i too joined with excitement, after going to dance class i came to know that it was not as easy as i thought, I had to undergo a lot of struggle, First thing was my hair, I was almost looking like boy while girls in my class was having long hair, not that i can't grow hair but my curly hair was very hard to maintain so i had no other go rather than trimming my hair as often as possible, this created a greater inferiority complex in my mind, My class girls where already somewhere in alarippu and jatiswaram while i was starting thatadavu, so i was practicing with kids who are younger than me while my class girls didn't even have time to notice a pathetic young girl, this made me feel even low, so finally i got courage and said my mom that i can't go to dance class anymore, she regretted little but accepted later. But my passion for dance never went away, though i didn't learn Bharatanatyam then till my 5th grade (i got little courage then) i used to see other girls dance everyday, It was my dream to see a live performance from that age... 

                Meanwhile when i grew up my passion towards Bharatanatyam too grew, though i never told it, I always had great love for that art , Also my dream to see live performance grew with me ...

My school kids used to perform Solo Bharatanatyam on school annual days but i didnt get enough of it, i wanted to see a legend perform.. 

               Sometimes i used to think about the day how i would feel when i sit in the front row to see Shobana or Sudhachandran or Padma Subramanyam perform before me...

              Though it never happened, i have seen nearly 8-9 live performances of various dancers till date, but my dream didn't stop there now i wanted to see other classical dance forms also like Mohiniattam, Katakali, Odissi, Kattak also my dream to see Shobana perform is throbbing my heart still..

               While checking December season timetable, i noticed that on 28 th of this month there is a performance of Odissi in one sabha, i should have stopped searching there but i didn't ( i am regretting for that now), then i came to know that on the same day in another sabha Mohiniattam will be performed, atleast then i should have stopped searching but i didn't, and then finally i noticed that on the same day , same time but in different sabha Shobana is performing ...Now my mind is wavering what program to watch? i actually wanna watch all the three programs now ... I know i can watch only one program but ....I wish i get cloned !!

Bharati Kannamma - 4

    This post is about Bharati imagining Kannamma as his child , This is one of the finest piece of Bharati, I know many people who shed tears hearing this song, It is written in such a emotional and beautiful way, I am dedicating this post to my mom, not only because she likes this poetry also because she taught me Tamil and made me feel proud for knowing Tamil .


சின்னஞ் சிறு கிளியே - கண்ணம்மா!
செல்வக் களஞ்சியமே!
என்னைக் கலி தீர்த்தே - உலகில்
ஏற்றம் புரிய வந்தாய்!

Hey little parrot, ( parrot refers to the baby's musical voice ) Kannamma you are my treasure, You came into this world only to make me happy, only to fulfill my life ...

பிள்ளைக் கனியமுதே - கண்ணம்மா
பேசும்பொற் சித்திரமே!
அள்ளி யணைத்திடவே - என் முன்னே
ஆடி வருந்தேனே!

Kannamma my child, you are so sweet like fruits dipped in honey , You are a speaking portrait ( Portrait which speaks), that too a golden portrait, I feel like embracing you , You walk so gentle like stream of honey ...

ஓடி வருகையில் - கண்ணம்மா
உள்ளங் குளிரு தடீ!
ஆடித்திரிதல் கண்டால் - உன்னைப்போய்
ஆவி தழுவு தடீ!

When you come towards me Kannamma, i get chills (i am amazed), When i see you dance merrily, my soul goes and hugs you ....

உச்சி தனை முகந்தால் - கருவம்
ஓங்கி வளரு தடீ!
மெச்சி யுனை யூரார் - புகழ்ந்தால்
மேனி சிலிர்க்கு தடீ 

When i kiss your forehead, i feel very proud , when people praise you i get goosebumps !!

கன்னத்தில் முத்தமிட்டால் - உள்ளந்தான்
கள்வெறி கொள்ளு தடீ!
உன்னைத் தழுவிடிலோ - கண்ணம்மா
உன்மத்த மாகு தடீ! 

When i kiss your cheeks, I feel intoxicated, When i hug you i feel delighted !!!

சற்றுன் முகஞ் சிவந்தால் - மனது
சஞ்சல மாகு தடீ!
நெற்றி சுருங்கக் கண்டால் - எனக்கு
நெஞ்சம் பதைக்கு தடீ!

If your face turns red even due to little worry, my heart gets disturbed, when i see your forehead shrunk my heart palpitates, (i get worried)

உன்கண்ணில் நீர்வழிந்தால் - என்நெஞ்சில்
உதிரங் கொட்டு தடீ!
என் கண்ணிற் பாவையன்றோ? - கண்ணம்மா!
என்னுயிர் நின்ன தன்றோ?

When tear drops shed from your eyes, i shed blood  from my heart , because you are light of my life 

and my life is yours Kannamma !!

சொல்லு மழலையிலே - கண்ணம்மா!
துன்பங்கள் தீர்த்திடு வாய்;
முல்லைச் சிரிப்பாலே - எனது
மூர்க்கந் தவிர்த்திடு வாய்.

In listening to your childish words Kannamma, my miseries vanishes, In your beautiful smile you keep me away from ignorance !!

இன்பக் கதைக ளெல்லாம் - உன்னைப்போல்

ஏடுகள் சொல்வ துண்டோ?

அன்பு தருவதிலே - உனைநேர்

ஆகுமோர் தெய்வ முண்டோ

No Epics or books tells happy stories like you, Even god wont give love to me like you do !!

மார்பில் அணிவதற்கே -உன்னைப்போல்
வைர மணிக ளுண்டோ?
சீர்பெற்று வாழ்வதற்கே -உன்னைப் போல்
செல்வம் பிறிது முண்டோ

Are there any diamond or precious stones to wear in my chest like you, to live a happy live is there any other wealth rather than you ??

Bharati Kannamma - 3

    After reading this blog everyone will start loving sea , for those who love it already will start loving bharati ... At some part of life though we never want to , we fall in love with sea ...Sea holds the power to make everyone poet ,. The magic of sea is such that it mesmerizes everyone , But in this poem, Bharati gets mesmerized by sea and mesmerizes us with his words ...

மாலைப் பொழுதிலொரு மேடை மிசையே
வானையும் கடலினையும் நோக்கி யிருந்தேன்

On that beautiful evening i was standing on mound and staring at sky and sea ... 

மூலைக் கடலினையவ் வான வளையம்
முத்தமிட் டேதழுவி முகிழ்த்தல் கண்டேன்

At the horizon where sea and sky met they where kissing and embracing each other and enjoying ...

நீல நெருக்கிடையில் நெஞ்சு செலுத்தி,
நேரங் கழிவதிலும் நினைப்பின்றி

I was concentrating on the blueness that i didn't even mind the time flying ... 

சாலப் பலபலநற் பகற்கனவில்
தன்னை மறந்தலயந் தன்னில் இருந்தேன்

i forgot myself in those beautiful day dreams....

ஆங்கப் பொழுதிலென் பின்பு றத்திலே,
ஆள்வந்து நின்றெனது கண்ம றைக்கவே, 

By that time someone came and closed my eyes from  behind...

பாங்கினிற் கையிரண்டுத் தீண்டி யறிந்தேன்,
பட்டுடை வீசுகமழ் தன்னி லறிந்தேன், 

ஓங்கிவரு முவகை யூற்றி லறிந்தேன்;
ஒட்டுமி ரண்டுளத்தின் தட்டி லறிந்தேன்;

From the touch of fingers, from the fragrance of silk dress, from the giggles, from the sound

வாங்கி விடடிகையை யேடி கண்ணம்மா!
மாய மெவரிடத்தில்?" என்று மொழிந்தேன்.

I know its you Kannamma, your tricks wont work out here, i said so ...

சிரித்த ஒலியிலவள் கைவி லக்கியே

she laughed and took her hands from my eyes

திருமித் தழுவி "என்ன செய்தி சொல்" என்றேன் 

I turned back, embraced her and asked "what's the news?"

"நெரித்த திரைகடலில் என்ன கண்டிட்டாய்?
நீல விசும்பினிடை என்ன கண்டிட்டாய்?
திரித்த நுரையினிடை என்ன கண்டிட்டாய்?
சின்னக் குமிழிகளில் என்ன கண்டிட்டாய்? 

பிரித்துப் பிரித்துநிதம் மேகம் அளந்தே

பெற்ற நலங்கள் என்ன? பேசுதி" என்றாள்

What did you see in the sea? What did you see in the blue sky ?? What did you see on foam formed by sea ??? What did you see in  those water bubbles ??? What did you see on those clouds ?? tell me , she said .

"நெரித்த திரைக்கடலில் நின்முகங் கண்டேன்;
நீல விசும்பினிடை நின்முகங் கண்டேன்;
திரித்த நுரையினிடை நின்முகங் கண்டேன்;
சின்னக் குமிழிகளில் நின்முகங் கண்டேன்;
பிரித்துப் பிரித்துநிதம் மேகம் அளந்தே,
பெற்றதுன் முகமன்றிப் பிறிதொன் றில்லை;
சிரித்த ஒலியினிலுள் கைவி லக்கியே,
திருமித் தழுவியதில் நின்முகங் கண்டேன்". 

I saw your face in the sea! I saw your face in the blue sky! I saw your face on the foam of sea! I saw your face on the bubbles! I saw only your face on that clouds too ! When you smiled and took your hands from my eyes , I turned back and saw your face !!

Bharati Kannamma - 2

  This is one of my favorite poetry of Bharatiyar , Whenever i read this poem i feel that Bharati also would have felt little special while writing this poem .. ( Its just my view ) .. I feel that even after so many  years there is no romantic song substituting this particular piece .. Moving on with translations ....

பாயு மொளி நீ யெனக்குப் பார்க்கும் விழி நானுனக்கு

You are the Light for me while i am the eyes , inner meaning is that though i am not blind i cannot see without light , you remain as light in my life ...

தோயும் மது நீ யெனக்குத் தும்பியடி நானுனக்கு;

You are the nectar in flower while i am the bee ... 

வாயுரைக்க வருகுதில்லை; வாழிநின்றன் மேன்மை யெல்லாம்;

Sometimes we know what it is , but we find it difficult to say , this is what happens to Bharati too, he says that i am not able to say about you , let your great qualities remain the same.

தூயசுடர் வானொளியே! சூறையமுதே! கண்ணம்மா!

Pure light from sky , சூறை means steal , from my understanding i get a humpty number of meaning for this one word  ... Kannama steals Bharati's heart , so it can be interpreted as nectar which steals Bharati's heart ... 

My another interpretation, Amrita is a drink in heaven which gives eternal life , Lord Krishna steals that amrita from Demons and hands it over to Devas for their long lasting life , that stolen amrita which gives eternal life is Kanamma according to Bharti ...

வீணையடி நீ யெனக்கு, மேவும் விரல் நானுனக்கு;

You are musical instrument veena while my fingers plays you

பூணும் வடம் நீ யெனக்கு, புது வயிரம் நானுனக்கு;

வடம்:  Rope , While Upnayana , every guy wears a holy thread and from that moment he gets a new life ... inbuilt meaning is you are the holy thread which i wear and i am the new life which we get.

காணுமிடந்தோறு நின்றன் கண்ணி னொளி வீசுதடி

Wherever i see all that i see is your eyes ...

மானுடைய பேரர சே! வாழ்வு நிலையே! கண்ணம்மா! 

Like i mighty king i can live when i have you Kannamma ...

வான் மழை நீ யெனக்கு, வண்ணமயில் நானுனக்கு; 

You are rain for me , while i am the peacock for you ... Peacock gets excited seeing rain like wise Bharati gets excited seeing Kannamma ...

பான மடி நீ யெனக்குப் பாண்டமடி நானுனக்கு

You are my drink while i am the vessel or cutlery which holds you, Bharati refers that he will hold Kanamma admist all odds ...

ஞான வொளி வீசுதடி; நங்கை நின்றன் சோதிமுகம் 

Your Face is lit with intelligence ...

ஊனமறு நல்லழகே! ஊறு சுவையே! கண்ணம்மா 

Kannamma is flawless beauty and taste which tempts the tongue 

வெண்ணிலவு நீ யெனக்கு, மேவு கடல் நானுனக்கு; 

You are moon for me while i am ocean of love for you ... 

பண்ணுகதி நீ யெனக்குப் பாட்டினிமை நானுனக்கு; 

You are structured music ( shruti ) while i am the song for you ...

எண்ணியெண்ணிப் பார்த்திடிலோர் எண்ணமிலை நின்சுவைக்கே;

How much ever i think about you there is no substitute for you ...The mere thinking of you gives taste for my survival ... 

கண்ணின் மணி போன்றவளே! கட்டியமுதே! கண்ணம்மா! 

You are like my eye ball , my sweet candy Kannamma

வீசு கமழ் நீ யெனக்கு, விரியுமலர் நானுனக்கு

you are the fragrance or scent of flower while i am the flower that blossoms ... We can never seperate flower and its fragrance like wise it means Bharati and Kannamma can never be separated...

பேசுபொருள் நீ யெனக்குப் பேணுமொழி நானுனக்கு

You are the topic in which i speak while i am your language ... To speak about anything we need language as medium of communication

நேசமுள்ள வான்சுடரே; நின்னழகை யேதுரைப்பேன்?

Lovable star, how will i express your beauty , your beauty is such that which can be never explainable ..

ஆசை மதுவே, கனியே, அள்ளு சுவையே கண்ணம்மா

Kanamma you are wine which i crave for more ... ( i never get saturated being with you ) , sweetest fruit , the taste which always makes me wish for more ...

காதலடி நீ யெனக்குக் காந்த மடி நானுனக்கு

You are love for me while i am magnet for you ...

வேதமடி நீ யெனக்கு, வித்தையடி நானுனக்கு

You are veda for me while i am magical for you ... Veda is something which is sacred

போதமுற்ற போதினிலே பொங்கிவருந் தீஞ்சுவையே!

When i attain consiousness you are the one i think of

நாதவடி வானவளே! நல்லஉயிரே கண்ணம்மா!

You are so musical , Great soul you are Kanamma

நல்லவுயிர், நீ யெனக்கு, நாடியடி நானுனக்கு

You are my life while i am pulse, without pulse there is no life likewise without you there is no me ...

செல்வமடி நீ யெனக்கு, சேம நிதி நானுனக்கு

You are my wealth while i am savings for you

எல்லையற்ற பேரழகே! எங்கும் நிறை பொற்சுடரே!

Endless beauty , You are everywhere

முல்லை நிகர் புன்னகையாய்! மோதுமின்பமே! கண்ணம்மா!

Your smile is like lilly flowers ... ( Your teeth is like lily flower and when you smile i can see it ) , you are the happiness which hits me ... Kanamma

தாரையடி நீ யெனக்குத் தண்மதியம் நானுனக்கு;

You are the stream of water while i am the moon which falls on you ... Shadow of moon falls on Stream which is running

வீரமடி நீ யெனக்கு, வெற்றியடி நானுனக்கு;

You are valour while i am victory, Best gift for valour is always Victory

தாரணியில் வானுலகில் சார்ந்திருக்கும் இன்பமெல்லாம்
ஒருருவமாய்ச் சமைந்தாய்! உள்ளமுதே! கண்ணம்மா! 

Whatever heavenly pleasure we can get in earthly world is in your form , Kannamma.

By now you would have understood why i called it my favorite.

Bharati Kannamma

            Every girl would need a guy like Bharati to praise her, to enjoy life with her , Bharati shows every perspective of life in a different  way , these articles are going to be from my understandings of Bharatiyar kavithaigal ... A legend can make anyone fall in love with his words . Understanding Bharati's words differs from person to person, also it varies according to moods ... These articles are going to be a path laid by bharati, my understanding about his words, my love towards him and the its just a try to make everyone fall in love with him ... Though its going to be real hard time trying to capture the gist in English ( Coz i feel no Language can substitute tamil ) i am going to try it out ...

சுட்டும் விழிச்சுடர் தான் - கண்ணம்மா!
சூரிய சந்திர ரோ?
வட்டக் கரிய விழி, - கண்ணம்மா!
வானக் கருமை கொல்லோ?
பட்டுக் கருநீலப் - புடவை
பதித்த நல் வயிரம்
நட்ட நடு நிசியில் - தெரியும்
நக்ஷத் திரங்க ளடீ!

Hey Kannama those sparkling eyes of yours are they Sun or Moon ?? Here i have used word sparkling to describe the word flame , actually poets wordings are flame like eyes , 

If a flame could be horizontal, that is how your eyes are ...This is the inner meaning which i get ...

வட்டக் கரிய விழி, - கண்ணம்மா!
வானக் கருமை கொல்லோ?
Your round Eyes has it taken darkness from sky ???

பட்டுக் கருநீலப் - புடவை
பதித்த நல் வயிரம்
நட்ட நடு நிசியில் - தெரியும்
நக்ஷத் திரங்க ளடீ! 

Your silk saree with diamonds embedded on it looks like stars seen in mid - night , (saree gets beauty only because of Kannama wearing it )

சோலை மல ரொளியோ - உனது
சுந்தரப் புன்னகைதான்?
நீலக் கடலலையே - உனது
நெஞ்சி லலைக ளடீ!
கோலக் குயி லோசை - உனது
குரலி னிமை யடீ!
வாலைக் குமரி யடீ! - கண்ணம்மா!
மருவக் காதல் கொண்டேன். 

A Girls smile can lighten a guys life , Bharati has felt it thats why he describes Kannama's smile so Bright like a flower .. 

நீலக் கடலலையே - உனது
நெஞ்சி லலைக ளடீ!  

Your hearts love for me is like blue oceans waves ... ( i thought it would mean  a girls heart is always deep like ocean Bharati might have meant it too)

கோலக் குயி லோசை - உனது
குரலி னிமை யடீ! 

Your voice is as sweet as song of cuckoo

வாலைக் குமரி யடீ! - கண்ணம்மா!
மருவக் காதல் கொண்டேன். 

You were too young , ( refers to childhood or teen love ) That i couldn't stop myself from falling in love with you .

சாத்திரம் பேசு கிறாய், - கண்ணம்மா!
சாத்திர மேதுக் கடீ!

Hey Kannama when i come near you, you are speaking rules and regulations why do you do that ??

ஆத்திரங் கொண்டவர்க்கே - கண்ணம்மா!
சாத்திர முண்டோ டீ! 

Do all these rules and regulations suit to those who are angry ?? ( anger man doesn't know what he is doing .. Bharati gets angry here cause Kannama doesn't let him close to her ) 

மூத்தவர் சம்மதியில் - வதுவை
முறைகள் பின்பு செய்வோம்; 

I understand you Kannama, We can do all rituals and ceremonies later before elders

காத்திருப் பேனோ டீ! - இதுபார்,
கன்னத்து முத்த மொன்று! 

Will i be able to wait till that ?? See this a kiss on cheeks ... 

P.s You can listen to this song sung by Hariharan in the following link  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2168GRGCw7U 

Say cheese !!

                 Many of us find it difficult to pose when we hear the word Cheese ... Cheese or smile have become something so common these days ,  we are shy posing before camera or otherwise we fear camera ... 

                I remember my friend who used to close her eyes in pics ... some of my friends never pose at all getting into conclusions that they don't look good in photos ... photos just projects our image, they don't create something new ... they are the beautiful discovery to cherish our memories ... One of my genius friend told me that photos not only projects images but also the photographer few point , and liking to environment or person ... A good photo requires little effort and its just not in hands of photographer but also in the hands of the person who poses .

               Here are few posing techniques, which not only gives nice photo but also lessens up the fear and flaws while posing ...

• Lean :   leaning on a wall or any background gives a lot of support and posture , also it doesn't show our fear towards camera ... To be precise leaning on something means taking its support .

          In the above pose the model has leaned on the wall and it helps in getting support making her            feel comfortable also it gives photo a feel.

•  Stay away from camera :  Not facing camera is the core idea , do something normal and ask photographers to keep clicking , photos taken even without you noticising that you are being clicked always comes out too well ( trust me !! ) 
  

             model isn't showing her face yet photo is simply superb !!

• Don't leave your hand hanging :  Hands are the best parts also most worst parts while taking photos , leaving your hand hanging looks so ugly , if  you don't know what to do with hands you can hold some accessories, from stoles to clutches.  

    Model here is holding umbrella  for support  ...

• Comfort level : Do what you are comfortable with , if its not comforting to stand and pose sit down doesn't matter , but make yourself comfortable ...
  
  
  
  These are few easy tips you can keep in mind while taking pics, they help in getting great pics.
  
  
  P.s: Credit goes to Google for the pics above. Qualification to write this article is from experience got my taking a lot of idiotic pics in name of creativity .
   

Time pass !!

    After getting bored enough and getting fed up with no great things to do , I am on to this topic ... These are fun filled ideas to pass your time, which never moves ... Particularly when waiting for something good to happen , you can use these ideas ...

  1. look around you :
                                  Obviously we will have something which got to be arranged , might be book shelf, wardrobe , shoe case , photos , accessories arrange it ...( if you Don"t have anything to arrange you are one finest person and you can go to point 2)  that way room gets clean also you get appreciation from mom for doing household chores ... 
                      
                                              

2. Gallery : 
                    If you are done with step one , you can go further ahead and clean your mobile and laptops ... Wondering how ?? arrange photos album wise or date wise , you can even start giggling yourself seeing your past photos and remembering those events , now arrange music albums , When you want to listen a song which gives a feel you don't have to search for it if its segregated properly... going one step further you can arrange Cd's in its pouch and throw away trashes ...

3.Culinary skills : 
                              Try your hand in cooking don't start with routine food try something different like Chinese, Thai foods, why don't you try making Turkish delight like stuff that no one has tasted yet , this way even if it turns into mess , you can blame on the recipe ...If it turns good you are the hero of the day .this is how i became mama's ladli ...

4. Movie :
                Watching movie doesn't mean watching a good or serious movie .. Watch a mokka movie , a romantic comedy or comedy tracks , or else try some animated movies , they just eat away your time and they don't burden you with some serious thought process after watching ... (already we are tired thinking of what to do , now why to worn out our brain again )

Here is a list of excellent animated movies :

•  Finding nemo
• Ratatouille
• Little mermaid
• Cars 
• tangled
• Frozen
• Princess and the frog 
• Snow white and 7 Dwarfs
• Jungle book
• Up
• Shrek
• Lion King
• Ice age 
• Kung fu Panda
• Madagascar
• Happy Feat 
• Beauty and the Beast 
• Adventures of tintin
• Rio
• Despicable Me
• Polar Express
• How to train your dragon
• Bugs life 
• Bee Movie 
  

Though the list is never ending these are my favorites and worth watching ...It takes you to heaven trust me ...( You can even watch it with your family and fun making it a FAMILY TIME !! )

5.Doze off : 
                      It doesn't mean simply sleeping it means gaining alpha energy and all that blah blah , 
have a professional touch to what you do, like close the windows, put curtains and make the room dark , Put a do not disturb board , turn on soothing music, try Aromatherapy too ... Great sleep equals to taking a spa at most sophisticated salon ( i made it !! never mind !!)       

6. Counselling:       
                           Hearing to different problems, there are friends always to share problems, we can listen to it , think about it and try giving solutions ... That way you become savior and also get nice time pass ... also your friendship becomes strong this way ( Idea given by my Best Friend her name starts with E and ends with R )

7. Counting:
                       This is a serious technique, it helps to improve observation skill also helps in not forgetting counting ( that we learnt long before when we where in kindergarten) ... You can sit in the sit out and count peoples, dogs and vehicles passing by...
This way you can also improve your detective skills , if something fishy happens around your environment , no one can escape your eyes ...

8.Blogging:
                      Writing some serious problems like this will not only enhance your knowledge but also helps in enriching readers knowledge ... This way you can become a star also it lessens your blood pressure and economically effective method too..

Though there are plenty of methods these are some best methods , anyways for further valuable ideas opinions and suggestions you can contact www.dubakur.com.
                            

  

Solitary reaper

     We all could have heard this Wordsworth phrase at least once in our life .. I don't get into my understanding why great legend like Wordsworth wanted the reaper to be a women??? Why not a man???

    The question that pierced me more was don't guys or so called men folk mourn,  don't they cry,  don't they weep ... if so, why not????  Why does a girl cry and why guys don't???
 
    I have heard my grand mom saying to my brother not to cry because he is a man ... how can emotions be deferential only to some kind of people..

  In some part of life we all are solitary reapers ... let us cry, and shed tears ... let us not bring differential attitude for crying... not crying doesn't mean that it is manly.

     Tears are the most powerful form of emotions ... it gives a greater pleasure to let out our feelings .. rather than dumping ourselves with miseries, . .

P.s  for those who think a guy crying is offense ...
  

Flute !!

       There was a garden , with beautiful flowers of different colors , world's  wonderful birds where inhabited there .. They would make soothing sounds that could surround the entire garden , ad mist the chirping of birds , there was a solitary soothing sound , which could even fall into deaf man's ears, deer and rabbits used to listen to that divine music ... peacocks used to dance for that music ... there would be lot of gopika's leaving their work to listen to such nectar flowing in the ears ... the music comes from Flute played by Krishna ... When i was told all these stories i always used to imagine myself hearing that music ..i would be one who was playing the music .. i would be krishna .. such is the bonding between me and Flute .. i used to imagine flute's music even before i have heard it actually ... 

       I always used to wonder why Krishna plays a flute , he could have been depicted playing anything why particularly flute ... when i came to know the reason and value of flute , i wouldn't help myself from falling in love with flute ... story of flute is even more soothing and comforting that music of flute ....

       Flute is made of wood as we all know to be precise it is made of bamboo, it bears the pain of being chopped into pieces first , those chopped bamboo sticks are then pared , then they are burnt , then pierced ..  Only after bearing so much of pain it attains that position to be in hands of God...

      On the other hand think of us, We complain for every little pain we have in life , we never stop complaining and start doubting the very existence of god .. It always requires immense amount of trust and patience to attain a position .. Flute attains a position only by its sacrifices ... when it can tolerate so much why do we find it difficult to do it ... The answer is so simple its because we dont trust .. Or else we don't wait for miracles to happen ...

    From teachings of Flute , lets practice the art of Patience and trust !!

My experience with truth

        Within a week I have travelled long roads trying to bridge the gap between my low moods and high spirits ... my mood swings are common but the thing which made me gain myself back and understand divinity is what I wanted to share ...

          Like milk from our mom ... like nectar from flowers ... I saw purest way of reaching god ... the medium was DANCE!!  I know dance could do wonders but I didn't know that it carried a magical power to take you inside it ...

          It made me immense myself into the emotions ( bhavanas ) .. I felt so deeply immersed that even after four days still I haven't come out of that world ...

      I wish I get more opportunity to see performance like that ... thanks to Rasika Kumar ... I wish everyone of us to take a break and have such a visual treat ... it is the only way to protect our culture and heritage from depletion...

Green

In class 3 I had a question?? What are living things???  Answer was something like this plants,  animals,  and human being .. Today my question is do we really treat plants has living thing??
From dawn to dusk think of anything and everything it is a boon which plant have given to us ... survival in earth has become feasible only because of plants.. leave about survival, existence would have not been possible ..  But what do we do to that greenery. . We treat as if they are some material ... we just use them and forget to care for them ... "They are so tender they need to  be nurtured"..
In spite scientists discoveries like music therapies,  talk therapies for plants still we just use plants yet don't respect them isn't it pathetic from our side ...
All v would do to those organisms which have given us everything is care... next time wen someone plucks a leaf unnecessarily from a plant, stop him ... wen u see a plant suffering, water it .. let's not do the mistake our ancestors did, let's not cut them unnecessarily... let's grow more trees and plants .. every person has a responsibility to give back which he has got from society, let's be responsible!!!
P.s inspired from rhymes "elaiyellam paritu vittal athrku kooda valikumam" ...

Possessive

          Is any relationship possible without possessiveness???  If I am asked that question, I say a big NO!?
          But after talking to people with great wisdom though I find it very hard to digest I am sharing those thoughts with you ..

          What is love?  Is the foremost question asked here,  its because love is base for every relationship... it sews a beautiful stitch in every relationship... after thinking a lot I got a answer which satisfied my heart ... love is selflessness... LOVE can be nothing else than selflessness ... doesn't our nature of being possessive contradict with the word selflessness...

             When we love something so much all we got to do is love it but not try to possess it ... possessiveness comes only wen u go way ahead of love  ... again my heart fails to understand this philosophy it just keeps on murmuring one thing I am not obsessive I am just possessive ...

             If our love is only a will to possess, it is not love. Then wat is love,  its something where u leave the person to do anything he / she wants,  if the person loves u he will come to u ... if he doesn't u still can love him without having any hard feeling just praying for his good .. though its hard to digest its wat happens in most of our life ...

          Still I feel that its not practical but I somewhere from my heart feel that its true ... truth is always hard to digest likewise being possessive is not love is also hard to digest ...

         My friends let's try giving love and not getting it back ... for a change let's start being donors instead of being beggars ...let's stop being possessive and stop expecting ...

Plsss don't experience it - 2

It was a sunny day,  I was feeling hot sun exactly under my head .. those were tiresome, boring,  monotonous days .. with no surprises from weather or people .. I came home after long day at office.. I was already thinking about next day audit which I am going to assist .. I was totally preoccupied when I came home that I didn't bother to notice a box for me ... it was straight before my eyes yet I didn't notice .. my naughty brother kept on yelling my name .. I was pretty tired to respond to him .. this didn't stop his yelling but only doubled, with no choice left I went to see what he had got for me .. he said that he got a courier in my name .. I thought he was pranking since who is gonna send me courier ... I said I am tired pls don't play with me ..  he said I am not playing really u gotta courier and handed me the parcels ... with utmost no mood to open I opened the parcel finally... wow!!  Omg!!  To my surprise it had a book ... not just any book but book of durjoy datta which I wanted to read very badly because I have read the whole story except for climax ... but this time I opened straight the last page to see whether it had all the pages in it ..
Then I came to know that my brother after reading my blog took effort to get me that book ... "if it is not forever" is a book that I am not going to forget forever ... thanks to my brother for that special gift ...

Be aware of what you are wearing???

         Once I went on shopping with my friend .. she was wearing a sleeveless top with little low neck I asked her instantly, " Are you coming to shopping dressed like this" . Her answer was what's wrong with you? 

           Friends do we really think that this dress is gonna project ourself in external environment??? Have we ever thought what people would be talking behind us for wat we are wearing??? Have we ever thought our dress could give a opinion about us????

            At least for guy it doesn't matter but being a gal our dressing matters a lot .. in this society we have always been looked in a odd perspective and to avoid those worst situations only way out is dressing properly..

            I didn't mean that we should wear saree,  I don't mean that we  have to wear traditional but what I mean is select a dress which is comfortable both for you and others who see you ..

             Next time when u buy a new dress be aware of what u r buying and when you are checking ur wardrobe on what u have to wear be aware of what u should wear .. even in case if u r wearing something hot don't forget to carry urself ... pls remember there are people watching us!!! 

What have u done to me???

          After two days of lying down having no motive to do anything, this morning I woke up to see sun already hitting my head ... I went straight to my book shelf and opened a new book it was sudeep nagarkar's " this is the way we met " with no great ideas or hope I started reading it . . Now after 4 hours of reading, my eyes are wet,  not just because it was a true story but it is a story that is faced by utmost every girl in India.

            I have heard lot of friends talk about this to me.. even a very few friends of mine have cried to me of wat they were going through... Does everyone get married to the same person we loved is the question asked here???

              Gals are forced to choose between parents and loved ones.. I don't know what and how painful it is since I have never felt it but I can feel little bit of it ... what kind of life it would be to marry someone wen u have loved someone else deep till yesterday??? I once asked my friend wen u know that ur family is never gonna accept ur love,  why did u even fall in love, she blinked at me and said it happened . I felt pity for her .
    
                These questions will remain unanswered to me??  But all I can do is pray for every person whom I know or don't suffering from this problem .

Friend indeed?!

               Ever felt lonely,  ever felt desperate about doing something great ... I have felt it ... I utmost go through this phase every week but I have a friend who helps me get through my problems, get through my loneliness.

                I got to know this special person when I was in standard one ... actually I was not ready for a friendship that time but it was forced into me .. I thank my mom heartily for introducing such a nice friend.

                  I actually couldn't take that friendship coz I was not matured enough .. I struggled having that friendship.. I used to think why i had to do that but when I understood that it is going to pull me out of all my ups and downs that is going to happen in my life, i started accepting.

                  When I started knowing more about this friend I started liking it so much ... not coz it helped me but it had everything to keep me happy .. sometimes it would surprise me with fantasy, while sometime with thriller, sometime it gave love while most of the time unexpected things ..

                   My friendship started so intimately that I didn't know that there came a stage where I can't be without it .. I came across several people in my life mean time but no one can replace that friendship and no can ever do it at all .

                   I can't thank that special friend because it doesn't need thanks,  it just needs care ... I will care for it forever ...

                   That special friend of mine is books which have been with me through my life... I want everyone to have a special friend who doesn't expect anything from u but just give u everything u want ...

P.s My forced friendship was with Gulliver in Lilliput I got it as gift in kindergarten...

Finally

       It was a tough journey where I had to carry big load and travel in mazes where some where little familiar while the other where totally mystery ... some are misery too ..

       I had too keep my sensory organs open and keen that I don't forget what I have passed through . in the mean time I had to mark with my pen all unknown mazes ... sometimes my back ached ... sometimes my hand and neck .. but only thing that was keeping me to walk was golden lake in the other end of the journey... the journey was a maze that can lead me right to beginning many times ...

        Even wen I wanted to give up many times I couldn't give up because of constant support I was getting from my companion.. finally the journey is over, though I will be knowing whether I reached golden lake will be declared by ICAI after 3 months.. today for ending the journey I am happy ...

P.S journey is my CA exam and golden lake is my results..
