India is a country with ample scope of work in social activities. Old age and Children, sick and poor, there is scope for plenty. Attitude to work and without monetary benefit comes at old age only. I wonder at young people working on these. God really helps them and their families. Social work needs no publicity and even the pleasure from working is to be denied. Just working must be the goal.
I used to sign in Tamil when I was studying in my college. But I took Hindi as my language due to the high level of Tamil taught with Konar guides. I had a passion for Tamil poet Bharathiar and knew some of his songs by heart. The college days were full of liberty and respect for others. At first I was ridiculed when I went to the college with Dhoti and white shirt but later the ones who ridiculed me became close friends. I was good at English language also and was top in the college. Those days Tamil was not politicized and we were free to choose and read what we wanted.
There was no TV and yet we could spend our time peacefully. May be we had friends to play with – in-door and out-door games, books to read. The time we spent was of a quality, though today more good ones do exist. Today you have to choose your time; plan and can get the best – more than I had in my days. People are doing it and improving and I feel Tamil meet is a good one for utilizing in improving your knowledge of Tamil.
I have to know Chennai in full. It is a re-invention of some kind. The 200 feet roads and flyovers are all there yet to be finished. Chennai lovers still believe that Mylapore and Mambalam are the city’s main areas. But it had moved long back to IT areas Sholinganallur. Chennai has many foreign restaurants and people care less for money. But there are still some Chennai people who think Tambaram is out of the city limits where as it is only 15 kms away from the city. A lot of people and houses and I think the city has gone up to Tindivanam and the agri-lands have long become housing lands. The world has moved to latest agriculture methods – Has India moved? We have to see..
Daily I receive lot of Quotes from famous and not so famous people on my mobile. Sometimes this impresses me, but on the whole what am I going to do about them? If I am to follow the Quotes, I will go mad, but even if I follow one of the Quotes I am going to be at peace with myself. Like there are thousand names of Lord Vishnu to be uttered, but if I get one that is close to my heart there will be utmost joy and peace.
The climate is good here in Chennai, thanks to Laila cyclonic storm. It is like December. But this will last only a few days and the Sun will be back at full swing.
Today there will be power cut in my area from morning 9 am to evening 5 pm. I read this in the local Newspaper just now and started writing this. Only last week this happened and I went and complained to the local electricity office and they have all sorts of answers – technical and non technical. I am fortunate compared to the sufferings of people residing in cities other than Chennai.
One technical man from Electricity says that it is all due to old equipments like transformers and power loss. He says there is enough power but due to poor maintenance due to lack of proper equipments, this happens. Already the Tamilnadu Electricity Board is in heavy loss, but this has nothing to do with the power cuts that are being imposed now.
I have long felt that I need to develop my own power for my home and sure I thank the TNEB to motivate that now.
