Today i came across a very pleasant Tamil poem. It really feels good after reading the poem. Here it is.
For people who are not fortune enough to learn Tamil, here is the translation of the poem. It’s really tough and funny to convert the exact poem in English but i tried my best so that you will also have the same feel. Any ways my intention is not about translation, it has to reach everyone across languages. Here we go…
One Fine evening, there was a heavy rain and
i was totally drenched in rain by the time i reached home.
My brother scolded me saying
"You would have taken the umbrella while going out"
My sister scolded me saying
"You would have stopped, when the rain starts pouring"
My father scolded me saying
"If you fall in ill, then i need to pay for doctor "
Every Tamilians just aware of recent visit of Rahul Gandhi who is the General Secretary of Indian National Congress and mainly popularized for his recent work in Uttar Pradesh for wining the LokSabha elections. I am writing this blog to discuss what his visit means to Tamil Nadu and the people.
He visited TamilNadu in the views of strengthening the congress party particularly the youth congress from the grassroots levels. So one thing is clear “The congress party is not strengthened inside TamilNadu even though they are supporting the minority government and from the grass root level the party is not functioning”. He also issued a statement saying that Congress will be soon playing a big role in TamilNadu. May be, people will turn up in large numbers to see his face, may be he may solve very few issues in touch with the central government, he may work out little bit at the party level. But will all these changes going to help the people of TamilNadu, undoubtedly it is a big "NO". First Rahul at the max he can visit TamilNadu for 3 - 10 days once in a year and that may solve some of the issues he heard from the people. That is it. i mean that is the only thing he can able to do it. i am not against congress party, i am not against Sonia Gandhi or Rahul, I greatly admire all the work done by Mr. Manmohan Singh who started thinking about Globalization and started his economic reforms for the country during 90's and even today if he is continuing his great work as PM and that won’t be possible with out the great support of Sonia Gandhi. I have highest respect for her when she threw away his PM seat and placing the right person for that post.
But congress party won't work out in TamilNadu and it is not because of Rahul and Sonia. As we all know the congress party status in TamilNadu and their internal groups. I exactly don't know the number of groups inside congress party of TamilNadu, but from the media i learnt that there are many groups. Some of the popular groups are Thangabalu, Elangovan, Vasan, Chidambaram, Vasanth Kumar, Sudharsanam, etc. These are just some of the known groups and there are many more unknown groups as well. All are fighting between themselves to keep their hold in their party and for the power and position. There is not one single supreme leader inside TamilNadu congress who can lead TamilNadu for better place. Let say even if they come in to power who will be the Chief Minister and for the power there will be big fight between them and later some point of time they will come to the compromise by dividing the power in terms of districts, ministers and tenders between them which ultimately ends up with nothing for the people of TamilNadu. We have seen a lot in the media and people should never think about congress inside TamilNadu unless and until they find one supreme leader who can tackle and handle all these groups and have at least okie vision for TamilNadu development.
Here is the other point. Rahul is telling youth, youth, youth. Rahul slogan of bringing the youth to the party may work out very well and will these youth people get any power to administrate or to change the face of TamilNadu or will Rahul able to help the youth to bring in to power. The answer is no, definitely the different groups inside congress won't allow them and the youth have to stay in the same place as they are now other than being the member of the congress party. His visit is to improve the party base inside TamilNadu which may be good for the party but at the end of the day it will end up with these groups which would be big issue for TamilNadu growth and for the people. I managed to find a leader in all the parties inside TamilNadu except congress party and that too for a very long time.
Fine let’s come to the fun part. Here is a funny part during Rahul press meet at chennai. Rahul redirects a question to Thangabalu and Thangabalu started his political speech, somehow rahul managed to stop that and get straight to the point. This is what i am speaking about the congress leadership in TamilNadu. Mr.Thangabalu is currently Congress President for state of TamilNadu and in the press meet he tries to convey something which is very hard to understand and finally he ends his statement saying that Congress will come to power but how, even Mr.Thangabalu doesn’t know.

Today i explored the State of TamilNadu website. Wow! Superb!! Excellent!!! Good work!!!!. They have modified the site recently and updated with more information. The newly designed site nails down all the information in each and every corner of the state. It was really nice to see so much information available in the government site.
The site Provides information about Governor, Chief Minster, Council of ministers, Chief Justice, MP's, MLA’s, Chief Secretariats, District Collectors, all Department and District wise information. It also provides map information about entire TamilNadu like Districts, Revenue Divisions, Taluks, Blocks, Corporation & Municipalities, Town Panchayats, RevenueVillages and PanchayatVillages. It provides the day to day information about the Government Orders, Budget, Announcements, Census, RTI Manuals, etc. It also provides information about the schemes, Tenders, contacts and important links for the government.
The best part of the site, it hasn’t stopped by only providing information. It also provides e-services for the public where you can easily download all the government related forms (Community Certificate, Legal Heir Certificate, Income Certificate, Nativity Certificate and Residential Certificate) from the website. You can pay online for certain departments. Online booking for TamilNadu hotels, Employment exchange renewal can be done online, TamilNadu Electricity online payment and bill status for other districts, Revenue Department services and online payment for some districts regarding water tax, electricity, property and professional tax.
You can also register the grievances against the departments like District Administration, Corporation of Chennai, Chennai Metropolitan Water Supply and Sewerage Board, Civil Supplies and Consumer Protection Department, Police Department, Regional Transport Offices (RTO’s), TamilNadu Co-operative Milk Producers Federation (Aavin), TamilNadu Electricity Board (TNEB). Chennai Metropolitan Water Supply & Sewerage Board.
I welcome and appreciate the work of TamilNadu government especially the Stalin ministry is doing good well by putting various ideas and many projects in place. Definitely they not going to stop here and there are many more work to come in the coming months. Now the government has to make sure all the information they provided in the site has reached the public.
I guess you will be interested in exploring the site now. Check it out at http://www.tn.gov.in
Today i get a chance to watch Achchamundu Achchamundu. I particularly want to see this movie for a very long time as this movie has been filmed in Canada film festival, Shanghai Screening and got some international rewards as well and spoke out very well before it got released, but after released in Tamil Nadu it failed to pick the box office too.
Fine speaking about the movie, the movie started by establishing the characters and connects very well speaking about their romantic life, daily routine, tamilians style of life in US. The movie centered the theme of Child Abuse when the John(Villan) wants to sexually abuse prasanna daughter and movie left out how they over come that.
There are lots of films released in India and i am not sure how many films have been centered with theme of child abuse. A big message which is uncomfortable to speak and worst part of this is, the crime rates of child abuse are more in India than any other part of the world after reviewing the statistics. The purpose and intent of the movie has to reach to whom it has to and definitely there needs to severe law and actions needs to passed to stop such crimes. The movie should not left just like that.
Cast and Crew: I have watched most of the prasanna's movie and i adore him for the way he taking roles (especially negative roles in Anjathey) in movies and differ from other Tamil heroes. He has delivered the role perfectly. I have to greatly appreciate the acting of sneha in the movie as well especially in emotional scenes. She really did very well in the movie. The film has been produced, written and directed by Arun Vaidyanathan and big hats off to this guy for taking such a movie and delivering with a strong message in this commercial movie world. Definitely Karthik Raja music adds another plus for this movie. Live sound recording is superb.
Best scene: As usual there has been many family fights between prasanna and sneha. In one scene they family went for party and prasanna will take some drinks in the party. They had a fight during that night and next day morning sneha will try to smile at prasanna and prasanna won't respond for that and move out. The emotional reaction from sneha after prasanna moved out is simply superb. Love to watch that scene.
This is the place where i have expressed my views that is happening around me and in general. you can send me your comments if you have different opinion about the blog i have displayed.
