Selfie

Photography is one of the best inventions made by the humans. Practically speaking it is the only possible way to relive the moments. But it’s killing the moments now instead of capturing it.

Think about that golden era when smart phones are yet to be discovered, when people used to communicate with each other so often and share their little feelings through eye to eye contact.

When a boy said those three words to his girl watching into her eyes, she replied back with a cute lovely smile. Gone man! All those lovely days were gone.  Future will be the technology controlled humans living as machines. Love will become a task to do!

Think how happy will be a family to pose for a group photo which is taken very rare. It will be organized approximately equal to a function, where the relations living in various parts will come together to a single place. Then the days passed, upper middle class started to buy small hand cameras where a person will shoot when others do serious posing. Marriages and other special occasions will have a photographer with a professional one in his hand.

People used to live the moment and photograph it for reliving it. But now a days people pose, pose and pose where they forget to live.

Technology started isolating people and this isolation reached its peak when selfie came into picture.

Now every kid has a rectangular Screen in the hands asking someone in the other part of the world whether they had dinner or not, but they have no time to ask the same to their parents who are living in their home. Though we are educated and equipped with basic knowledge in science, we can’t avoid using mobiles before going to bed which is a proved bad habit as far as human health is concerned.

We nineties’ kids have a good childhood time but this generation kids are missing million good things. Now the green colored app is creating such a non-sense in the society with its features.

Just think for a moment before sharing some one’s private videos and features. Think for a moment about their family, about their future. It gives you nothing in sharing those stuffs. May be your friend appreciates that before you but will call you with a bad nick name behind your back for this.

Selfie looks cool and hot but not always!

Think twice before you post.

Think thrice before you share.

What CSK teach us other than to whistle!

Please don’t read this if you hate IPL ;)

Yes I do agree with the fact that IPL is more about business with the players and sponsors. But there is some part of it which brings out happiness and cheers to the passionate cricket fans.

IPL is something similar to the EPL of football, except the fact that IPL matches are played even during the week days with a full packed stadium.

“Everything in life is a learning experience.”

I learnt from the Chennai Super Kings many things that will be applicable for everyone in the real life.

First of all Brendon Mccullum nick named Baz, this man hasn’t showed any nervousness to the tough situations till now. Climate in New Zealand is some hundred times cooler when it compared to summer in Chennai. But this man just needs a chewing gum to adapt to the hot atmosphere. Playing as an opener he builds a strong foundation to the team’s batting unit.

#1 whatever thing we do, we need a good beginning. If the start is good then the job is half done.

Secondly the Caribbean all-rounder Dwayne Bravo, our captain believes in his death bowling capabilities and this man bowls his 4 overs in the last 8 overs of the match in most of the matches.  He never felt any pressure and the dance moves he makes during his celebrations was clearly a pressure reliever for every member in the team.

#2 Keep giving your best and enjoy every little success you accomplish on the route to your long term goal.  (If possible dance during your lovable moments ;))

Thirdly my most favorite person, Suresh Raina, we can’t count how much positive energy he is building up in the team through his playful cheer ups and appreciations he does to his team members. If Sir Jadeja saves a boundary in backward point he will be there patting him up, if Mohit sharma gets a leg before wicket he runs hard towards him and lifts him up. His presence makes the team energetic.

#3 Every team needs a positive catalyst, who groups and glues up the team members. This will bring out huge difference in the outcome of the team!

Sir Jadeja and Faf Duplesis are flexible players who can be used as per the team’s requirement. Both can bat at any position and field in any position. And more importantly Jaddu can complete bowling an over at lightning speed. This will increase the overall over rate of the team.

#4 Flexibility is a key factor which is essential for every successful team.

Then we have the leader who is someone entirely different from other captains and very unique in his plans. I don’t have to describe this man and his super cool character. Every team needs a leader who is capable of answering the silly questions of journalists at the post match presentations and press meet after that. Not only leading in front but this man is clearly a king in finishing up the innings through his helicopter shots. The term leader is different from ‘captain’. This MS Dhoni from Jharkhand is our super cool ‘Thala’

#5 No matter who the team members are, what the team strength is, every team needs a leader who keeps his head calm in tough times, performs the best when the team needs more and should be good in his words during his conversations with the media, as people have the habit of believing everything they read in popular magazines and everything they see in Flash news. The team’s character will have major cells and tissues built from its captain.

So Namma Chennai Super Kings ku Whistle Podu! ;)

Celebrity War ;)

Celebrity!

Every one reading this will definitely have a dream to become a celebrity some day or other. Some may have already lived the classy life in the dream. Just imagine how awesome it will be when you have million followers in twitter, some thousand fellows begging for your retweet. Wherever you go you will have red carpet reception. Million girls will be dreaming about you, day and night.

Ssshh!! Enough, enough!

Come back! Come back to normal.

I and my friends have wasted nearly half of our class hours in debating about two celebrities.  They are popular heroes in kollywood industry. If you are in Tamilnadu its mandatory that you should follow one of these two stars.  And the most interesting fact is that every boys group in the school days will definitely have the fans of both. You cannot see a group of friends who are completely one sided. Always it will be a mixture of both fans.

It will start with the count of hits and flops of their heroes.  Some talk about commercial success as if he/she has collected the price of every ticket sold out in theaters. Some talk about the skills their stars possess. Once we couldn't find anything to boast about our hero we will start trolling the other fellow’s flaws in the movies. It’s fortunate that we stopped this time pass once we completed our schooling.

 Some grew up. They admire their stars with conscious feeling that they are just actors who are paid for every eye blink in their movies. Some may go deep and search for their hero’s personal data along with their habits and if they find anything good, they will start to follow that. For instance, Actor Ajithkumar is exceptional in the way he treats his guests. So it’s a good sign if a fan of him follows the same.

But it’s unfortunate that still there are some kids who are assuming themselves as they are fighting hard for their heroes by trolling the other stars fans. May be some will do just to irritate their friend. But I have seen some posts in you tube which can’t be read in anytime in anyplace by anyone. It will be a complete shit sometimes.

In my opinion, these are like Dog's bark at the Sun. The stars have no reason to care at these shouts. The educated fans will also feel the same.

There are million things to chat with your friends other than this. Just see movies as entertainment and nothing more than that. May be some movies will teach you something for the real life, learn that. I just have a thought that India can’t reach great heights if it has people watching movies in the early mornings. Movies are once created to entertain people in their leisure time but now it has grown up as a gigantic industry which serves thousands of people for their livelihood. But on the other side it spoils the rest of the people in million ways. A porn star has been searched more than anyone in Google as per the last year analyses. It may sound silly but it’s a serious shame.

Being a celebrity is not that much easy. But if they realize for a moment that they are going to be role model for many people who are addicted to them, they can do miracles in the society. I am damn sure that smoking rate will definitely reduce if all the mass heroes stops smoking in their movies. I know its illogical to blame them for our mistake but still they should show some care towards their fans who are wasting their precious hours thinking and talking about them.

This blog might have irritated some die hard fans of cinema. But

My blog, my choice!  #just Saying 

(I have nothing to do with Deepika’s ‘My life and my choice’ video ;))

And one more thing I like both Vijay and Ajith (Safety issue dude ;) )

Education

Yay!

It is really magical that how some positive responses you get in your life in certain things from certain people will boost your thoughts to work more on it. Yes you people have made this little writer to write for the third time. Please bear with some of my errors in writing since I am yet to complete my degree in English Grammar ;)

 Education: Even Google shows the real meaning of education in second line rather than the first.

We here will keep on saying to ourselves that our education system is bad and it’s the root cause for all the illegal activities that are taking place in the society especially the increasing rate of crime against women. But we simply don’t care about the topic once our life is safe zoned in some way.

Just think how many times we have recited the poem “Ringa ringa roses...” without knowing the fact that it is a poem of death related to Great Plague that killed many people. What is the necessity to make the little kids learn such an unpleasant thing in the early stages of their life? Just because it’s in English we Indians love the rhyme! ;)

How many of you can prove that Armstrong really landed in the moon? There are many reasons listed up to prove that was a hoax but we mugged up those two names for two marks in Q & A session of class 4.

I have read some stories regarding ancient Indian education which the Indian kings will provide to their princes during their childhood days. It was seriously super cool in its form. For instance consider the epic Mahabharata, the princes were trained for some years in a Gurukulam inside a forest which is far away from their palace. The idea is to keep the boys stay focused on their learning without any distractions. Moreover they have a clear reason and purpose in their education. They are educated with moral ideas and thoughts since its very much essential for the future kings.

My generation schooling was entirely systematic in nature. We will go to school even before we learn to speak clearly. We will be taught from the primary schools that best way to live a happy life is to get good marks in class 10 and 12. In order to keep your good form in that classes you need to start scoring good runs in the league matches too, which is nothing but the other classes from 1-9. The most pathetic situation will be in standard 11 where you will be said that you can enjoy this period because you have completed a construction of big wonder last year (10^th standard Public) but keeping the fact in the mind that you need to build something more than that in the next year, you have to sacrifice certain things such as watching TV, Playing cricket) < till then I thought sacrifice was something like army men do to our country but my teachers have different meaning>. We will even mug up the answer for the question “what is your ambition in life?”  The answer will be as follows: “we will study hard and become Engineers and Doctors to bring out the positive change to the mankind”. <No other careers can bring change so we chose this ;) >

Then the big picture will be the selection of an engineering college. We will donate in lakhs to get a seat in a famous college. The definition of a good college is nothing but the placement records of that college. No matter what they teach us, what we learn, we just need an IT job when we come out as graduate.

And parents are very much proud to say that their kids are doing their higher studies in a country other than India.  No matter how badly they miss their prince and princesses at that time. They just want them to settle. < Settling means getting a job of six digit salary with a flat and a car for their family. Nothing more needed ;)>

The ridiculous part is that there will be no difference among the students whose names were flashed in the news channels some four years before with their smiling faces uttering the words as follows:

“All my success credits go to my parents, my teachers especially my mathematics advisor and my brother, sister and blah, blah! I didn’t watched TV for six months <Who asked you to watch TV just for distraction; you have million things to learn. You can see the rarest species of birds in Discovery, Brilliant magic tricks of Dynamo in History channel; you can realize how our Indian army is fighting hard to guard us through the news channels>  The list of sacrifices for the marks continues  without any reason which has a logic behind that.

Another ugliest part is when these rank holders came out and join an IT company for a monthly pay. Why should they waste their 25% of life just to do a normal job which any person who is well good in his English communication and who has good learning ability can do.

The Europeans and Americans are building up business units and we are serving them to grow more and more. We will be employees forever till we change our mindset towards education.

 We need a livelihood for life not a life for livelihood.

The previous line was said by my school principal, Mr.Alwarappan. His period of one year in my school was a clear blessing to me and my friends.

My hearty thanks sir!

And to the money makers out there, don’t enter into the field of education and hospital unless you are service minded. You are playing with the future of the incredible country. Making money is easy but making good humans is not that much easy!

And to the students out there, life has zillion ways to live a happy life. Just treat class 10 and 12 as normal hurdles. Help a little kid to learn. Teach a tribe to speak in a common language. Get a Briyani parcel to a fellow who is starving for food.  Education is not about technical stuffs alone, it’s something beyond that.

Education is an Enlightening experience.  This is what Google says as meaning for that word! ;)

Love,

Barathiraja
