இளங்காற்று வீசுதே !

கடந்த ஒரு வாரமாக இளமையின் தொடக்கப்புள்ளிக்கு வித்திடும் கல்லூரி பருவத்தின் கதை பல கோணங்களில் செய்திகளாக வலம் வந்து கொண்டிருக்கின்றன. அதாவது அதிகப்படுத்திய கல்லூரிக் கட்டணத்தை திரும்ப பெற வலியுறுத்தும் மாணவர் போராட்டம், மதம் பதம்பார்த்த மாணவி தற்கொலை என்று சமூகத்தின் அவலம் ஒரு பக்கமும், மறுபக்கத்தில் மாணவர்கள் போதைக்கு அடிமை, ஆசிரியரை கத்தியால் குத்திய மாணவர், ஓடும் பேருந்தில் அரிவாள் காட்டும் மாணவர்கள் என்று வழிமாறிப் போகும் மற்றொரு இளைஞர்கள் கூட்டம். இப்படி சொல்லக்கூடிய பக்கங்கள் எத்தனையோ இருந்தாலும் சொல்லிவிடாத இளமையின் மற்றொரு பக்கம் உள்ளது. ஆம், இளமை போர்க்குணம் மிக்கது. போராட்டம் மிகுந்தது. வலியும், வேதனையும் ஒருசேரக் கலந்தாலும் உழைப்பும், விவேகமும் அதனை முறியடித்து முன்னே செல்லும் ஆற்றல் உடையது. அப்படி இருந்தும் இளைஞர்களின் வாழ்வு எதை நோக்கி போய்க்கொண்டிருக்கிறது என்பதை பார்த்தால் வியப்பாகவும் இருக்கிறது, வேதனையாகவும் இருக்கிறது.வியப்பு என்னவென்றால் மீசை முளைக்காத வயதிலும் சரளமாய் காதல் கவிதைகள் எழுதுவது,தன்னை வளர்த்தெடுத்த பெற்றோர்களுக்காக இரவு பகல் பாராமல் உழைப...

Shades of being Chapter 2

Image
Amelie (Movie: Amelie 2001) have her own world. The world of dreams spattered with million colours. I too have my own. The world of my own. My own being without borders. That’s where I travel on a breeze; feel as light as thousand coloured feathers. The intrigues of our being can get true with our dreams.  A day in a dream: A warm morning. I feel the sunshine smiles on my face through gaps of a large glass window and his legs on my thighs. The sunshine and his body are an eternity of warmness in combination. This feel like the whole universe is spinning for us, only for us. It makes us believe that the earth itself threads a pattern of togetherness, on a daily basis, without a nanosecond pause. That cuddle, ever wanted one, on the bed. My eyes open the day with his subtle smile, that smile is more than a morning wishes, it sometimes tells everything we felt for years in seconds. Following that smile, in an automated move, his lips, the most sophisticated part the ‘G...

Toll Free Traveller

“Their bicycles caused no little astonishment on the way, and the remarks passed by the natives were almost amusing. At some of the villages the boys clustered round the machines, and where they could, caught hold of them and ran behind until they were tired out. Many enquiries were made as to the name of ‘them queer horses,’ some called them ‘whirligigs’, ‘menageries’ and ‘valparaisons’. Between Wolver Hampton and Birmingham, attempts were made to upset the riders by throwing stones.”             Above is the newspaper report about three riders who set off from Liverpool to London, a journey of three days and so more resemblant to modern motor cycle touring on March 1869. The  passion for motorcycle touring around the world started in the late 19 th century. More than a century now, motorcycle riders have grown in large numbers all around the world and Indi...

Manual scavenging – the worst surviving symbol of untouchability

“No modern country in the world forces human being to enter sewers to clean. Why then does India use manual scavenging? It is because we have caste which has for ages been forced to do it for minimal pay”                                                                                                                                                                               --  Dilip Mondal (poet and activist) We regard many professions with high dignity.

THE GAME CHANGER

Image
            Image credit @Ashika                                 Air we breathe is the most important component for our life. The quality of air decides the health of an individual. Health of an individual decides the growth of a society. Growth of a society decides the development of a Nation. Status of air in India In India places like Delhi, Patna, Gwalior are the most polluted. The quality of air that the people breathe in such places is the worst compared to other places in our country. Rising levels of PM - Particulate matter in the air that surrounds us threatens not only us but also the children. Luckily people in such cities have found a solution for the problem. The solution for such threatening problem was not planting trees but fixing air purifiers starting from the house to public places such as schools, offices etc. The total market for ai...

Environment day Writeups

Life of a pachyderm At a time before the dawn, it was dark and misty all over the place. The herd of elephants were seen with their calves moving at a steady pace. The elephants were migrating from one patch of the forest to another which they do quite often to escape hunger due to less availability of resources. Amongst the herd, a mother Elephant was seen more cautious with two of its own baby elephants and was more protective than others. There was a reason for such cautiousness.  Years back when this mother elephant was young and was moving in the same manner with its mother in search of food, it lost its brother in a train accident. Such incidents often occur when elephants migrate. Some die because of the train, some in road accidents struck by a truck and some purposefully killed by the poachers. So the elephant knew that life was full of challenges and intuitively protected the calves all along the way her herd marched.  Miles of the untiring march had shrunk the herd’...

“Imaginable Immortality”

Image
Immortality described as unending existence which has been proclaimed to be attained through mentally, spiritually or physically. Though the belief system of immortality has been quite common and familiar across the horizontal and vertical dimension of geographical territory and human historical timescale, there is no proof or material evidence available yet. Despite these counter arguments prevailing in the rational society, I would try my level best to convince my fellow readers about “Imaginable (Possible) Immortality” in the real world through this article.  Immortality as described above may sound more of spiritual, but in reality immortality as an end can be reached through the means, of spiritual as well as scientific. Personally, I would prefer to approach eternal through spiritual means but due to societal pressure where spirituality is attached to religion and also described as “Non-Sense”, I better start with science. YES, I BECOME RATIONAL NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!...

Being Indian

Image
We all have sung National Anthem. Most of us would have first started singing the anthem in our schools. Not even a day started without singing the national anthem during our school days. When I entered college I was shocked, no such activity was carried out there. The class started at eight in the morning and nothing else was so special. What I missed in my college were the morning prayers which ended up singing the national anthem which became a regular practice of my schooling. In spite of our diversities, we all stand together to sing the anthem. It makes us feel the power of ‘we’. The National Anthem was first sung in the congress session of Calcutta during 1911. So why was the anthem written by Rabindranath Tagore? Is that all the countries have an anthem so India should also have one? No, the national anthem written by Rabindranath Tagore is another expression of the unity of India. Songs and symbols that emerged during the freedom struggle serve as a constant reminde...
