பதின்பருவக் காதல் குறிப்புகள் (Teen-age Love Scribbles)


அரை நொடியை அணு அளவு

சமமாய் பிரித்து

ஒவ்வொரு கூறுக்கும் ஒவ்வொரு

உணர்ச்சி பாய்ச்சிடும்.

எதுவுமே நடக்காதுன்னு தெரிஞ்சும்

மனசு கற்பனையா அமைச்சுக்கிற

பிம்பம் கொடுக்குறது அலாதி இன்பம்

------------------------------------------------

உனக்காக set

கருப்பு வெள்ளை;

நான் கருப்பு;

நீ வெள்ளை;

Perception - Branding

            Branding is a major topic in MBA, sales or marketing which promote the product in various aspects. Similarly every person has his own branding like character, behaviour, work, graduate degree, etc., Likewise every person has own perception regarding everything one see, hear, talk.
            In a company the branding is purely done on its own and it projects the same. Have this been done with people? Many a times, NO, it doesn’t work the same way. Most of the person been branded by others like colleagues, relatives, neighbours even an acquaintance many times.
            First of all is it correct to brand a person? Yes, if we really are good at it. But what if we are not so? Bad, isn’t it? But yet we use to brand each and every one. How we brand or label one like happy person, sad person, easy to approach, always smiling, always restless, etc.,
           These type of branding produces both positive and negative effects. If someone brands his friend as arrogant then he is made to follow that until his association with him. One is born in this world to live like oneself and not what others think or say about the one.

         It would be better if anyone not been branded as so and so and such and such.

God's Gender

         Consider any religion, caste, devotional groups and you will end up with God, the Supreme Being, as male. Why God is in male form and why not the other gender. Some may argue that we do have female Gods too but if you analyse deeply you will come to know that those female Gods will be under the control or influence of male God. 

        Everyone talks about male dominant society and quite a lot of gender organisations demand for equality. But almost most of the population accepted God as male.
 
       Beyond this kind of thinking lets us ask why God is in human form?

Everyone can 'Inspire India'

A whole lot of space is available for everyone to inspire India

Link gives a short intro about “Inspire India”.

Similar kind of organising and implementing a library is far easier than we think and yes, you can believe me, I am telling this out of our experience. If your organisation has employees just above 40 then it’s much easier task.

Just mail them about the idea of setting up a library for orphanages and you can be very sure most will respond positively. After getting the final ‘yes’ you can start the next step

Fund Collection:

Set Rs.200 per head which would sum as Rs.8000 and online transfer is an easier option and you could ask your members to do so. With the collected amount we just need to purchase books, a shelf, snacks to distribute during inauguration event.

Group Click
Inspire India Members with Bala Ashramam members and Children
Orphanage Selection:

Go through the internet and search for orphanages and get the contact number, dial and ask for an appointment and visit in person and explain your plan then ask their need like no. of books, types of books, whether they need rack\shelf and what type of rack. Fix a date for inauguration and confirm every needed thing with them.
Within two days an orphanage can be finalised.

Book Purchase:

A minimum of 150 or 200 books are quite necessary to set up a library.
Allocate Rs.3000 for purchasing book.
It’s not necessary that you always need to buy first hand or fresh books. You can also go for second hand or used books which look or you feel the book is quite readable\usable. Second hand books purchases are good at Moore market and Luz corner. You can get all kind of books @ half the rate or to the maximum 75% of the original rate and bargaining comes in as effective tool.

New books can be purchased in T.Nagar book shops or else to get discounted books you can visit publishers (http://tamilelibrary.org/teli/bkpubls.html) directly and can demand more discount by telling them about your library plan and you will get discount for sure. Even online purchases can be made.
It just takes one evening. Two members to LUZ and two members to Moore Market

Shelf\Rack\Bureau:

A wood shelf just cost Rs.3000 to Rs.4000 and T.Nagar shops are best bet. In case if the orphanage is located far away from T.Nagar then any shops near to the orphanages is preferable as this will reduce the transport charges.
It also needs just an evening to spend.

Labelling: (if needed)

Categorising and labelling the books are the essence of any library. It simple categorise the purchased books and segregate with the type of book sans language. Ex: Birbal, Thenali Raman, Mullah, Shakespeare comes under Stories; Bhaghavath Gita, Bible, Quran comes under Devotional.
Add Serial no., Book Name, Language and Category and labelling done. 
It just needs a day.
Model Library
Library  at Bala Ashramam, Chrompet
Inauguration:

Invite your members and try assembling everyone on the fixed date with the orphanage. Get a chief guest like your Teacher, Professor, Team Manager to cut the ribbon. After setting up the rack with books tie the ribbon around and ask the chief guest to open the library. Now distribute the snacks like chocolates, mixtures, biscuits, etc., to the children and just give a small talk and if possible interact with them all.

Library for an orphanage is done successfully

Plagiarism

The moment we see the word plagiarism things arouse in our mind are songs copied, films copied, books copied, articles copied. Yes many things are copied from good stuff and we if we start listing then list would take much time to read. We enjoy reading such stuff and mock those around with our friends and on our social networking sites. It’s a real fun we use to have.

We accuse, criticise, scold, get angry and complain about people involved in plagiarism. Well they deserve such kind of treatments from the society. But aren’t we missing something that by pointing our fingers on someone we forget ours many a times. Aren’t we enacting much stuff from others like speaking, walking, dressing style? Even the way we are living, learning, eating habits, etc., are in some way reflects some familiar things.

Knowingly or unknowingly in today’s scenario many use words like F**K, S**K, SH*T and use to react OH! My GOD!, What the F**K and our body language, pronunciation or false accent, brand shirts, shoes, watches, hair style, make-ups are copied from outside world.  We learned about these kind of usage are definitely from media like film, social network, TVs, radios.

We pronounce who copies TV shows, films music, and stories as plagiarist but a plagiarist terms his action as inspirational and we call our actions as influential. It’s always our mentality we use to point others for any wrong happenings and we sit pretty cool that only they are like that and we aren’t like them. So is with politics too that only politicians are to blame for whatever happens in the society and it’s not WE the reason

Versions vX.0

We are surrounded by products more than people in every place we visit. If any work which man needs to do repeatedly then inventors jump in and create a new product and it immediately hits the market for the use. People too are too enthusiastic to buy such products and many waits outside the shop for whole night before the launch day to get the product, many reserve the product online.

Yes it shows the product’s usefulness and benefits. This reduces the user’s time, money & energy to great extent. At the same time an amateurish question arises that is such products worth the money we give to buy? Okay lets be amateurish and could think about some other possible questions.

First we could ask are we being tested?. Then secondly does products are service motivated or money? Now consider any product, mean to say furniture, detergents, mobiles, paste, etc., which we are using today, surely would have its previous versions. For sure, before buying this latest product, we could have seen advertisements for such products from any sort of media like, TVs, Radio, magazines, internet and they definitely would have claimed it to be “Now with more improved performance, improved quality, improved speed” than its previous versions.

Aren’t they contradicting with their own claims with every new version releases? In case of smart phones they use advertise “Now with more 1 GHz processor, 512 MB RAM, 5 megapixel camera” for their initial versions and they claim it would work fast. But when once after they are ready with another version they use claim again “Now with 1.4 GHz processor, 1 GB Ram, 8 Megapixel cameras and it would work faster”. This kind of claiming happens with every new releases of their product. So arise the question isn’t it contradicting and by somehow they themselves lower their previous version of product which once been told by themselves as effective.

Like mobile we could see this kind of marketing in media for all products in which they themselves dump and the customers to get their new version and after some months this latest version be asked to dumped for their new version. And customers too welcome such versions whole heartedly. Inventors find a new product or an alternative to existing product and they immediately release to the market. The enthusiastic customers spend as much as they could to buy the product. Now the product releasing company sells the product and make millions and billions as profit. After some months they release their new or upgraded version to the market and again the enthusiastic ones buy and company makes billions as profit and this happens as routine. With every release they make millions and millions.

An amateurish question could be asked that why they release a low power, low speed, low capacity first release as v1.0 and later more power, speed, more capacity V2.0 and so on versions? Why they shouldn’t release the well made, well developed, perfect speed product in their first version v1.0 release itself? Why they bring any product to market immediately? They can take their own time of months or even years to develop a fine tuned product and then release? So a question asked is product money motivated? They tend to make money and money alone with every version of product and make people to buy with their marketing tag line “newly designed, improved quality, more speed”. This makes us to think are we being tested with version and to improve their product’s quality and their personal wealth?

If this is possible then customers too should demand for such high end product as first release itself. But as usual we are going to be ‘We’ and we will not let others do and we will bring our children the same way.

Inspirational - Influential

We, Indians, talk majorly, and in common, about three things Cricket, Politics & Films. These things become quite essential in almost every one’s day today activities. People read, view, discuss about these things through paper, TVs, internet, forums, etc.,

Films in India have now 100 years of history but we are not diving deep into its formation and growth and we are not into films technicalities at all. It’s about people who watch and certain people who create movies.

Already we are influenced and getting influenced daily by western way of living and thinking and we are trying to exhibit such behaviours and attitudes by all means. Films too had a huge impact and here films are inclusive of music (songs) too.

There are quite a lot of directors who have created movies which showed/showing stories and characters in Tamilian way. Story use to revolve around local places and characters react native. But off late we have offered tamil -ised stories and characters whose reactions and plot to some extent resembled western kind.

Though the influences from west side have started since independence it started spreading by late 80s’ and grown highly after 90s’, when globalisation introduced in India. Many Hollywood films have inspired our major/ top directors and it in turn have inspired our major/top audience and it made them look and feel sophisticated/ upper class/ logical/ no non-sense, orthodox, et al, if they end to watch inspired movies.

If one tends to watch local content films the he wouldn’t be called as sophisticated/ orthodox. So we could see divisions as A, B, C centre films or mall films or commercial films or art films or mass movies. We tend to celebrate, praise, and support, for long period, the directors who create movies with western influence or inspiration. And a director who creates movies with local inspiration tends to rated less than so called sophisticated directors.

Godfather is one movie which influenced many more directors not only in India but worldwide. It had its Indian versions in the name of Nayagan, Devarmagan, Sarkar I & II. Among these films Nayagan is the first of the series which even had many scenes replicated but Devarmagan tooks its essence and tamilised aptly and so with Sarkar too. After Nayagan in tamil cinema the new trend started in good way and it also showed the way for many directors to get influenced by Hollywood movies and remake it here without any rights. And today the directors who haven’t followed that trend made their way out on their own.

This influential has made some good directors too. Movies like Sethu, Pithmagan, Kadal, Paruthiveeran, Subramaniapuram, Kalavani with local content and flavour turned many heads and towards native film making idea. But still why is that many of us awaits the sophisticated directors’s films? Just because we too will be called as sophisticated persons? Or to just show off that we are not non-sense and we will watch movies with only logical stuff? To let others know that we are classy people?

But everything said we have to accept that we need to react to the current world situations.
