Thaipusam 2014

Another year, another occasion.. another celebration or should i say prayer day. Well its clearly misinterpretation involve here. Today is Thaipusam day in hmm most of the country where Tamil peoples are. For me Thaipusam widely is misinterpreted as a celebration by many surprisingly! as its more towards prayer to a specific god.. Lord Murugan. I'm surprised my colleges are telling me "hey happy thaipusam" well i wondered to myself.. what should i do? go shopping? buy new clothes? visit friends and family? eat and sleep? Hahaha its a prayers day for the god and nothing to celebrate about! Well that's what happen when you live in a multi racial society that lacks the understanding of certain culture. For this year, its a somber day for me. As i did not participate for the prayers at any point.  Why? Since my fathers demise, its in Hinduism rules that one should not observe any prayers, celebrate any festive, or make a large scale celebration & etc. My father passed away last year June so till June 2014 (which is exactly a year), no celebration or prayers of any sorts are to be done by me. Well since there is a rule, its better for me not to break them. I'm pretty sure there are some intangible reasons behind this. I missed the prayers to my lovely god lord murugan. Well for now im targeting next year for a better prayers and offerings for him.

What im doing this year? well sitting in the office and typing this blog.. Hahaha. Supposingly i should just sit at home but i rather come to office to forget all the thaipusam hype and celebration prayers that im missing right now.



வெற்றிவேல் முருகனுக்கு அரோகரா!!!!!

Ridiculous movie.

Seriously im not against the freedom of speech or the freedom of expression example movies. But what if a movie goes against the limit. Is it called freedom of expression or even contemporary art?
One of the movie that i found extremely insulting is a tamil movie namely "naveena saraswathy sabatham". In the name of comedy the movie insults Hindu gods to the core!! How worst this directors are until they found messing with religious sentiment in comical genre very good? I felt very sad with the movie and cursed not only the director, but together with Tamil Nadu censor board. They allowed the film! Wow! Why did they banned "Bombay" in which they said insulting muslim religion? Wouldn't this movie regarded same way? Why the bias?? Do they need to wait till someone make a formal complain or few peoples to protest then they will take action? Good job Tamil Nadu government! To my surprise, the tamil nadu people are quiet with the movie. It's really fascinate me.

To the director 'K. Chandru' of Naveena saraswathy sabatham, if you by chance saw this blog, my message to you, please don't come up with another such stupid movie, please dont play with religious sentiment again. I know you tried very hard to copy the english movie 'Hangover'. Seriously nothing so comedy about it!

Happy Ponggal

Today is ponggal festival in Malaysia. Even thou its not really recognised in malaysia like how it was in India. The festive is celebrated in small scale in Malaysia. This year my celebration is as minimal as possible. More to say just some prayers at home, eat vege foods prepared by my wife and watch tv programs.

Birthday for my dearie

Today is my wife's birthday.. initially i have no idea  what present I should buy for her. It went on a big dilemma thinking what present to buy. Whether a good fragrant perfume or an expensive dress and etc.. Well  yesterday I decided something diffrent. Instead of me choosing the right gift for her,  I decided to  bring her to the mall and let her choose the gift she like.  And finally its over, bought for her a nice wrist watch. Its small nice and elegant. Perfect for her hand. She likes the watch thou.. Well, Happy Birthday dear! :)

Agitated life

Its just been 7 days from the new calendar year. New days born to remind man kind, new tasks, new path, new discovery awaiting us with every second of the clocks tick. I had rather agitated day as 7 days pass by. I hate 2013 very much, for one sole reason. For me its the year of death. So much death ive seen on the year alone. Terrifyingly many to count off personally. I wished for a peacefull year 2014 to be. But not as its comes by. Early morning yesterday i had a shocking news from my mom. My cousin sisters husband passed away in India while working on a surgery for liver transplant. He was a great guy, nice to chat with, straight to the point and a peacefull looking guy. He had a severe liver detoriation problem for several years. After a donor came up to donate her liver, he the donor and my cousin sis went to India for the transplant. Unfortunately god prefers him to be by his side rather then to wake alive. Whats more sad was he just became a father for a beautifull baby girl.

Sometimes i couldn't really understand why our life is so cruel. Why do we born? Why do we need to spend so little time on this life? Why we had to endure painful life and die in the midst of happiness? Such a bad life indeed.

Dedicated to my bro-in-law Kumaresan Gunalan (1980-2014). Rest in Peace bro!
Thilagam, please be strong! you have to endure the life for the sake of your child.

Happy New Year 2014!!

New year comes to give us a fresh hope, For a better future and success, New Year gives us dream for that we will face challenges with confidence. On this new year may your dreams and hopes succeed with the blessings of god. Let us pray for peace and a overflowing prosperity throughout the year!

Happy New Year to all my blog readers.
