My diary - 27 th January 2011

2012-01-27T22:35:00.001+05:30

I am sorry, I could not be as fast, as I used to be in solving the problems quoted by you, like missing files, responding to your mails etc for the past two months.

The reasons for the same are two main issues.

1. The music season started and was regularly going to programmes, and some days even to two programmes in a day. This has eaten away most of my spare time and I could not attend to your queries and carry out the corrections.

2. I had some personal commitments which were taking most of my time of the day and I could not even come near to my laptop.

I thought I will make up the loss from 15th of January, but some more problems cropped up and I will be going away to Bombay to attend two important events of my relatives and so I may not be able to find much time for this job.

I am confident, once I come back from Bombay by 12th February, I will be able to find more time and will be able to justify your demands.

Please bear with me until then.

With greetings and appreciation for your patience.

...that "Why is this happening?" is the most useless

question in the Universe.

The only really profitable question is, "What?" As in,

"What do I choose now?" This question empowers.

The "why" question simply perplexes, and rarely

satisfies even when it gets a good answer.

So don't try to "figure it out." Stop it. Just focus on

what you now wish to create. Keep moving forward.

There's nothing behind you that can possibly serve

you better than your highest thoughts about tomorrow.

....that being "right" has nothing to do with it.

The idea that you call "right" is the idea that someone

else calls "wrong." The solution that you call "perfect"

is the solution that another calls "unworkable." The

position that you feel is unassailable is the very

position that others assail.

What will solve all of this? Not attack, that's for sure.

And not defense, either. So what is left? Simple human

love. The kind of love that says, "It doesn't matter who

is right or wrong. It only matters that you are not hurt.

And that we both can benefit. All true benefits are mutual."

How to Get Rid of Belly Fat

2012-01-23T21:21:00.001+05:30

Two days back, I posted a joke on big belly. A big belly is a concern for all of us (even for those who do not have it) Here are some interesting facts about big belly.

How to Get Rid of Belly Fat
In the age of six-pack abs and eight-pack abs, a rim of fat around your waistline is uncomfortable for sure. Not only it spoils your appearance and beauty, belly fat can pose major health hazards too. If you have loads of fat deposited around your belly, you are more prone to cardiovascular diseases, diabetes, cancer and many other health problems. So the effort to get a flat belly is of huge craze in this 21^st century.
The reasons behind a fat belly: The unused fat of our body gets easily accumulated in our abdominal region. A fat waistline is the effect of an irregular lifestyle, unbalanced diet, bad sleeping pattern, consumption of excessive alcohol, lack of physical activities and exercises.
The Cure: There is no miracle cure which will reduce your belly fat overnight. And no
particular treatment is there targeting only your belly fat. But in a positive note, the normal weight loss programs affects the belly fat faster than the other parts of the body because the type of fat deposited in your belly is metabolically more active and easier to lose. So don't lose your heart. Gear up and start a strict regime to trim your tummy.
Home Based Remedies: Rather than spending hundreds of dollars in tummy tucking sessions and pills, it is always safer and more economic to try for the natural home based remedies, if you have patience and you are consistent to continue the treatment for a longer span.
Natural Remedies to Get Rid of Belly Fat
1. A regular schedule of cardio vascular exercises like walking, jogging, swimming and
cycling helps in overall weight loss and reducing belly fat too.
2. Cut your sugar intake. Say no to sweets.
3. Instead of having heavy meals divide it in 4 to 5 mini meals as it prevents the fat from getting deposited.
4. Have lemon tea or ginger tea with cinnamon as substitute of coffee.
5. Cut off your salt intake and keep a track of your cholesterol level.
6. Increase your water intake. Along with exercise, drinking plenty of water will help you in your weight loss program.
7. Discard processed foods in your diet. Rather eat plenty of fresh vegetables, salad and fruits.
8. According to latest research, calcium has a positive impact in reducing belly fat. So drink milk and dairy products rich in calcium.
9. High protein diet rich with fiber and whole grains are best for burning belly fat.
10. Have adequate sleep. Your sleep pattern controls your body weight.
11. Try to lead a stress free life. Stress generally increases our appetite. If appetite is
enhanced we consume food in large quantity and the fat may get deposited in our abdominal area.
12. Do not completely cut eating fatty food as fat is an essential source of energy. So try to intake mostly polyunsaturated fatty acids like sunflower oil, soya oil etc which are also rich in omega 3 fatty acids and they help in shedding your flab.
Trimming your tummy or burning belly fat is a part of an entire weight loss program. And if one can do it with dedication and determination, belly fat will get reduced gradually in due course of time. Wish you get great abs soon!

Honor your Hints from Heaven. They could be giving

TRUE INCIDENT by Ranjani - Useful for people traveling in Chennai buses!!

True Incident happened for a lady who is a commuter in Chennai MTC!!

" I m working in Chennai One(Thoraipakkam), Chennai. I usually travelby

Metropolitan Transport Corporation(MTC) bus, from jain college stop (Which

is near to my office) to tidel park and from Tidel park I will catch train,

to home. MTC bus coming from kelambakkam(19B,21H) mostly wont stop in

tidel park in early days. So I usually prefer to get into T51 bus, which will

stop in tidel park stop. After some time 19B started stopping in tidel park

also.

Today while returning from office at around 8.30 pm, I was in a hurry to

catch my 9.28 pm train at Tidel park. I got up a bus(19B) in Jain College

at around 8.45 pm, and asked the conductor to give a ticket for tidel park

stop. He said, the bus wont stop there, and he asked me to get down at

signal if it stops there or else get down at stop next to tidel park. I was

argugingwith him that I am going daily with the same bus and get down in

the tidel park stop. But he kept on saying the same thing.. I got

irritated with conductor response. Suddenly I remembered a complaint phone

no.(9884301013) I read in one bus sometime back and noted down in my

mobile. I called that no. and said about the incident that conductor is not

stopping in the usual stop.

The MTC representative (person at the other end) asked me to give the phone

to the conductor. The conductor was not interested to talking with his

official. The MTC rep. asked me the bus registration no. He enquired where

is the bus at that time and I said it is in Kandhanchavadi. The MTC rep
.
said he will come in the line and talk to them. I was curious how he will

come and catch the bus.

After few mins. the wireless transmeter(to track the bus), near the driver

in the bus started shouting... Driver stop the bus. Driver stop the bus in

the left side of the road. Driver was not sure what is happening may be his

first experience, for others(including me) it is the real first

experience. The driver stopped the bus and started listening to the

transmeter. The MTC rep. enquired why the bus is not stopping in tidel park

stop. The driver said he stops in tidel park stop and in the previous trip

also he has done. The rep. asked him then why the conductor is saying like

that. He asked the conductor what is the issue. The conductor was

speechless. The driver somehow managed the situation and supported the

conductor by saying that the conductor was new to this route. The driver

asked excuse for the incident and said he will stop in the Tidel Park stop

The MTC rep. said he wanted to talk the passenger who called him. I went

near the transmeter and spoke to the MTC rep. He said sorry for the

incident happened and asked sorry on behalf of MTC. Everyone in the bus

were surprised of things happening. I came back to my seat and I was so

embarrassed as all were looking at me. Few passengers asked me what is the

number, and whom I called. They also took the number. The bus stopped in

Tidel Park stop then. After getting down I called the MTC rep. and said the bus

stopped in the stopping.

It was a nice experience for me and others who traveled in the bus,

including driver and conductor and I was very surprised after this incident.

Yes, nowadays good things are happening in government sector also and

technology is used properly."

India Should leverage the Gold with the households

2012-01-18T20:51:00.000+05:30

India is one of the largest buyers of gold in the world. More than 90 per cent of this is for jewellery purposes and not for Industrial purposes. Table 1 gives the purchase of gold for jewellery by different countries in the last few years. In the past, Indian demand was nearly 30 per cent of global consumption. Recently, the attraction of smuggling has come down due to liberalized import policy. Incidentally, domestic production of gold is very negligible, running into a few tonnes.

The purchases made in Middle East is also mostly by people of Indian origin and to that extent the demand by “Indians” is much larger. What is bought in Gulf states this year by the NRIs (non-resident Indians) will reach here may be in a year or so. At an average price of, say, Rs20, 000 for ten grams, we can estimate that for 1000 tonnes nearly Rs.2 Lakh crore has been spent in buying gold last year by Indian households, which is much larger than the aggregate capital raised from the stock market.

The purchase of Gold by households is not treated as savings in our statistics. It is treated, as consumption by households which are curious as households treat purchase of gold as “investments” whatever the economists in government may think. That the Gold is in private hands is important to note and since it is not with government it is productive. It is interesting to note that the demand has been around 1000 tonnes in the last two years and of this 25 percent is for Bar/coin investment.

But why do households invest in gold?

It is not for the return but for security. Gold is the major social security for large number of Indian households which do not have any social security at all. Kindly observe that nearly 90 percent of India is self-employed. The problem is more acute for the wives of these self-employed, as they do not have any independent access to income or savings. Even if they work, it is used for current consumption. In the poorer segments, a good portion of the income of the man could be used for drinking, gambling, etc., and hence not much left at old age.

The joint family system is breaking down and so the traditional support models are getting weakened. Under the circumstances, it is but natural that the Indian woman would like to own some assets which are useful in old age, or in case of any other eventuality. Real-estate is relatively costly, not divisible and not portable. Gold ornaments are portable and divisible. A chain can be converted into two bangles and also one can have smallest nose ring or ear stud unlike land.

Transfer of ownership is also very easy. In the case of gold ornaments one can say that possession is ownership. In other words, if a mother removes her chain and gives it to her daughter then it belongs to the latter by tradition. One can get loan against gold by pledging it with a moneylender any time of the day or night, seven days of the week. The millions of moneylenders are actually the ATM (All Time Money) of our country, as they act as money vendors with a personal touch too. In other words gold represents the most liquid form of asset in India. One can also say that gold is the most politically correct metal, which can be owned. In traditional Indian families, sometimes, shares or fixed deposits are disposed without the knowledge of the housewife. But gold is always sold with the concurrence of the housewife. Of course, if it is on her body then it cannot be disposed off without her knowledge.

The so-called superstition pertaining to not removing the Mangal Sutra till the death of the husband is an insurance protection to the woman against rapacious relatives and children. It is assumed that the gold ornaments will work as social security for her in case of major emergency or after the death of the head of the household. The Bollywood blockbusters of yesteryear would invariably have a scene where the heroine removes her bangles or chain to be pledged for the benefit of her ailing husband and it did reflect the ground reality better than the views of experts. Hence, gold is the most liquid, portable, easy to transfer, act as social security and insurance for the middle- and low-income group women.

The Total Stock of Gold is estimated at 18,000-40,000 tonnes by different experts which may be an underestimate particularly after the Trivandrum temple vaults got opened up. That temple alone supposed to hold more than half a billion worth of Gold/Emeralds /Rubies etc

As the largest buyer of this metal in the world, India should play an active role in the international market and leverage our position to shape policies pertaining to gold. Any large buyer of a commodity, say, oil or coffee or zinc or maize wants to, and does, have a say in the accelerated disposal of that commodity in the world market. What does India do? Nothing. Is our government, then, not concerned about the welfare of the people but only about some ideological shibboleth? Why is it so? It is because there is a considerable dis-connect between the government and the middle-class.

The planners and policy-makers are either the socialist type or globalizing metropolitan elites. The Nehruvian socialist experts feel that the middle-class or petite bourgeois is naive to invest in unproductive assets instead of joining the working class in the struggle to get social security for all. This did not happen and even the proletariat opted to buy gold having little faith in the government (of any variety) providing any security at old age.

The globalizing metropolitan elites feel that the middle-class is foolish in investing in gold since the “experts like them” have defined it to be un-productive. They would rather have the middle class invest in share markets and burn their hands and legs. They are concerned about reforming the government pension system which is under severe strain as both the Central and State governments are broke. In such a situation, the most entrepreneurial and hard working, self-employed groups are facing a huge challenge to protect their future. Their position is that of a nut caught in the nutcracker with the socialists and globalisers acting as the two arms.

It is not the Indian woman who is naive or foolish, but the government which is insensitive and ignorant to the issue of leveraging on our strength.

In the context of `Digital Cash’ becoming more active, the number of transactions may rise to trillions and the number of trans-border entities issuing them will also increase. This would be more so with increased outsourcing activities. Since “Digi-Cash” does not have any sovereign guarantee, the role of gold as a medium of exchange and as an underlying standard will increase. As the monetary transactions in the net-based world expand, the concern for the underlying lack of “Sovereign Guarantee” should be highlighted. In the context of a possible death of euro and the decline of the US Dollar, this may not be very difficult to visualize. Along with this, a campaign should be launched by India to bring gold as standard of security (if not as a medium of exchange) and this may enormously help the millions of self-employed in India who own this asset and who have to take care of themselves in the coming decades.

India should also create mechanisms to leverage on the investment category [namely Bars/Coins] of the Gold purchases by middle class in the last few years. Innovative mechanisms can be created by government of India to facilitate this gold to be invested with banks and earn some nominal interest rates so that Government can show large stock of gold in banks to facilitate the stabilization of rupee value. Actually much of these coins and bars are already kept in bank lockers and locker fee is paid by the middle-class.

But in order to initiate any such steps Government of India should come out of its Nehruvian mindset and stop taking advice from Globalizers who will sell all these Gold along with our housewives to Global corporations. India should co-opt China in this global campaign to make Gold a unit of security when sovereign guarantees are not taken seriously.

One thing should be clear. Gold is brought by the women of the country. They are smart and shrewd- they will not do anything which do not make economic sense even though most economists do not have any sense pertaining to Indian realities.

Incident 1

It happened few months back. We were traveling and I and my family were waiting in the A/C waiting room at Secunderabad Station. The attached bathroom was not cleanand was giving bad smell. Added to this discomfiture,the bathroom door was not closing tight , and I also observed that shutter was not closing tight because of faulty door closer.I complained to the attendant .

I also sent an SMS " The bathroom of A/C waiting room on platform No 1 of Secunderbad Station is dirty and stinking. Pl arrange cleaning . Also the the door is not closing properly". After few minutes we left the waiting room as our train arrival was announced. Within few minutes I received text reply from Railways, giving an ID No and that action will be taken. After few hours I received a message that the bathroom has been cleaned . After ten days I received another message that the faulty door has been repaired and thanking me.

Incident 2

Recently on 24th October I and my wife were traveling byHyderabd Ajmeer Express on our Rajasthan trip. Next morning , I noticed there was no water in the bathroom and the taps are all dry, whereas our journey will continue and we will be reaching our destination ( Bhilwara near Ajmeer) after another 18 hours. I was worried that it is going to be a miserable time to travel without water. Water or No water, people will continue to use the bathrooms and the stink will become unbearable. I complained to the Conductor. I also sent a SMS "Traveling in the A1 compartment of Hyderabad Ajmeer express train No 12720. No water in the bathrooms . Pl arrange. Also replace leaking valves else problem repeats." Pat came the reply" Your reference id is 1110250019. For status visit www.scr.indianrailways.in. or SMS as STATUS TO 8121281212 . Thanks for registering complaint " . After about 20 minutes I received message that water will be filled at the nearest Railway station having water filling facility. At Itarsi station water was filled and we had no problem . After about a week I received another message that the faulty valves have been replaced . It was amazing.

I am thankful to the Railway authorities for introducing a system where one can complain from a running train and doubly grateful that they have acknowledged the complaint and attended.

I collected this help line number from the Railway waiting room !

Many times while traveling by train we are put to unexpected inconvenience , we react by cursing and criticising. No other response. Of course once we reach our destination we just forget.

There is no use in cursing the darkness around you, do light a candle however small it be, it gives an inspiration and ten more candles will be lit . The process continues reducing the darkness.

The Railway Number to which you can SMS is 8121281212.

Please pass on this message to your friends and it may help some one in need.

Maida And Diabetes

by Dr CLA Rahiman

11 January, 2012 
Countercurrents.org

Maida is made from wheat flour after removing the fiber rich bran. Then it is bleached with the chemical alloxan to make it white and fine. This chemical is toxic to Pancreas in our body. Pancreas is responsible for regulation of glucose and sugar in our body and blood. Pancreas is producing insulin in our body. Actually Insulin is responsible for the control of blood sugar. Once Pancreas is damaged, one will become diabetic. Pancreas can be damaged in many ways. Our genes and heredity also have a role in making Pancreas susceptible to injury by noxious agents. Maida or white wheat flour is used in many food stuffs world wide. The big corporate lobby world wide has succeeded in hiding the harmful effect of Maida and disseminating the information. The food industry was able to prevent any research to rule out the causation of DIABETES by Maida. The incidence of diabetes mellitus is increasing worldwide and India and Kerala is going to get the number one place in this regard. May be our food habits, especially using Maida in most of the food intake, may be responsible for this. Research involving randomized control trial is needed in this regard to prove that Maida can cause Diabetes.

SINCE MAIDA CONTAINS THE POISON ALLOXAN WHICH CAN DAMAGE THE PANCREAS, IT IS BETTER TO AVOID MAIDA. JUST AS CIGARETTES CAN CAUSE LUNG CANCER AND MANY OTHER HEALTH HAZARDS, MAIDA MAY BE ONE OF THE LEADING CAUSES OF DIABETES, THE EMERGING DISEASE OF MODERN LIFE STYLE.

Scientists have known of the alloxan-diabetes connection for years; in fact, researchers who are studying diabetes commonly use the chemical to induce the disorder in lab animals. In the research sense, giving alloxan to an animal is similar to injecting that animal with a deadly virus, as both alloxan and the virus are being used specifically to cause illness. Every day, consumers ingest foods made with alloxan-contaminated flour. Would they just as willingly consume foods tainted with a deadly virus? Unless they had a death wish, they probably would not. Unfortunately, most consumers are unaware of alloxan and its potentially fatal link to diabetes because these facts are not well publicized by the food industry.

However, even though the toxic effect of alloxan is common scientific knowledge in the research community, the FDA still allows companies to use it when processing foods we ingest.

The FDA and the white flour industry could counter-argue that, if alloxan were to cause diabetes, a higher proportion of Americans would be diabetic. After all, more consumers consume white flour on a regular basis than are actually diabetic. This point is valid, but it does not disprove the alloxan-diabetes connection. While alloxan is one cause of adult-onset type 2 diabetes, it is of course not the only cause. Current theory suggests a hereditary beta-cell predisposition to injury coupled with some defect in tissue regeneration capacity may be a key cause. For alloxan to cause injury to an individual's beta cells, the individual must have the genetic susceptibility to injury. This is similar to the connection between high-cholesterol foods and heart disease and cigarette smoking and lung cancer. Eating high-cholesterol foods causes heart disease, especially in people who have family histories of heart disease. Similarly cigarette causes lung cancer in genetically susceptible individuals. The link between alloxan and diabetes is as clear and solid as the link between cholesterol and heart disease and cigarette smoking and lung cancer.

It all comes down to asking if putting yourself at risk for diabetic coma, blindness, limb amputation and death is worth eating white bread. If you're willing to risk your quality of life and your life itself, then go ahead and eat all the foods made with white flour you want. However, if you want to stop poisoning yourself with alloxan, a known toxic chemical, then make a few simple dietary changes. Eat groceries made with whole-grain wheat flour, not processed white flour.

Royal Behag in the Moonlight at Kuthiramalika

2012-01-15T12:20:00.000+05:30

Home video of the full moon rising over Maharaja Swathi Thirunal's residence, Kuthiramalika Palace at Trivandrum, Kerala, India, where his descendant Prince Rama is doing an exquisite Alap in South Indian Behag, accompanied by S.Varadarajan on the violin. As with the Behag in Varmaji's Masterpiece veena CD, "Thaanam, The Pulse of The Veena", I have always felt a special connection between Varmaji and the raga Behag. Though I haven't had the good fortune of attending many of Varmaji's live concerts, I have had the privilege of listening to him sing behag at home, accompanying himself on the Tanpura and this has been one of my most cherished experiences in life.

..that rushing around to fix everything, or to "get ready,"

is not going to do you more good.

Move resolutely, but don't rush. There's a difference.

Rushing removes resolution, often replacing it with

panic or irrationality or, at best, not well thought-out

choices.

So keep moving. Don't stop. But don't rush. Don't

race around. Sure and steady gets you there every

Hatred towards Mr. T. M. Krishna

2012-01-03T00:03:00.009+05:30

1. How to bring down TM Krishna's gimmicks ?
We need to form ATMK (anti-TM Krishna) faction. This team (say 10 people) has to go all his concerts and sit in the 4th or 5th row, so that TMK can see them. After he finishes the first kriti, all of them have to get up and exit. If TMK asks why they are leaving, the reply- " you start singing properly then only we will sit for the full concert".

2 – How to leave TMK’s concert in between ?Very simple, middle of the concert, while singing rAga, TMK will go to sleep. This is the time to get out

3. What is the while colour box, he is keeping in front of him ?Apart from hiding his library of books from rasikas, he creates pallavi for his RTP and also get online instruction from Trichy sankaran on the topic Inventions/Discoveries in music.

5. Will he ever get sangeetha kalAnidhi –( Question of a die-hard fan of TMK )Reply from ATMK- He will never get. SK is given only for those who start the concert with varNam and ends with Mangalam..

6. For invention/discoveries, Government gets Bharat ratna. Why can’t TMK get this because he has invented so many? Reply by ATMK- President refused because he informed that he will sing “English pallavi”- “you are beautiful, I have never seen a babe like you in my life” in the ceremony hall, before receiving the award. He refused to take the award without singing his “own” pallavi.

7. Why he slapped “Ghatam vidwan” in yesterday’s concert of TMK ?He started the slowest kriti ‘Ososi” and sang for 1 hour and 30 minutes. Mridangam was just tapping and no job for Ghatam vidwan at all. So he went home to see sun TV serial for half an hour and returned. So, he was slapped.

8. Why Mridanga vidwan cried in yesterday’s concert ?TMK started concert with “pavamAna” in madhyamavathi and immediately asked Tani to start.
Mridanga vidwan could not even align his sruti and he was still struggling to adjust the mike. Without knowing what to do, he cried.

9. Why Karaikkudi Mani gets more claps than TMK when both perform together ATMK member – arE Bhai !!!! very simple, rasikas can understand what KM is playing !!!

10. Why Akkarai is always accompanying ?Because she is the only rasikas who is showing akkaRai (அக்கறை ) in his concert.

11. Why Dhanush was very happy after attending TMK’s concert ?He understood the meaning of the word “kolai veRi di”

12. Why did TMK drink hot water every 10 minutes in his recent MA concert ?Because he could not "digest" his own "rendering of kritis"

(From rasikas.org)

This was the mail I received from one of my friends. I do not know who wrote it. However, I feel if it is written by a person who claims himself a carnatic music rasika. I wonder how after hearing carnatic music he can be so perverted, arrogant and hate individuals like this. I do not think any body who sincerely hears our music can have so much hatred about an artist and about an individual. I am a believer that our music converts individuals to sophistication. I feel miserably sorry for this person for hearing our music and still to be like this.

Whether this gentleman accepts him as an artist or not there are thousands around the world have accepted him as one of the best artists and he has given about 11 concerts in one month during this season. The gentleman who wants to go with few friends and occupy within four or five rows to get out after first song does not know he cannot get seats within five rows in his concerts, unless he is prepared to pay through his nose. All the shows were house full shows, and in his concert at sri Parthasarathyswami Sabha when he asked the audience whether he can sing up to 9.30 P.M ( concert started at 6.30.P.M) there were shouts from the audience requesting him to sing up to 10.00 P.M. He sang up to 9.45 P.M and the crowd was in tact until the end of programme.

As far as the 2nd point is concerned it is very cheap statement not worthy of answering.

"Snageetha Kalanidhi is given only to those who starts from Varnam and ending with Mangalam and so T. M. Krishna will not get it" Perhaps this gentleman is still in 19th century. Many artists, seniors as well as Juniors starting the concerts without regular Varnam now a days. Music Academy will learn this trend in few years. And what is wrong if the concert is not started with Varnam? Out of so many Varnams available, from Ariyakkudi to Amrutha Murali, were singing the same varnams in all the concerts which can be counted within your fingers. They never tried new varnams except few to be mentioned like "Valachi" or "Viribhoni" or "Intha" "nere nammithi" etc. Many rasikas are really bored with these repetitions and Krishna really brought a change and relief. And the Varnam was considered as warm up for a concert. If an artist can be warmed up from the very first song(krithi) without Varnam what is wrong in it.?

And the statement regarding Bharath rathna is so silly and shows to what extent people can stoop.

The statement about Karaikudi Mani and Akkarai is also of very low taste and they will not accompany if Krishna is not an artist of good standard.

These comments only shows to what extent people can stoop to write about an artist who is recognised and appreciated by thousands of rasikas all over the world and in demand with almost all Sabhas in Chennai and everywhere in the world.

If this team does not attend his concerts fully, Mr. Krishna is not the loser. I do not understand how the moderators of "Rasikas.org" allowed this to appear in their forum. Shame on their part.

In the concert at Brahma Gana sabha on 8th December 2011 one Young mridhangist by name Praveen Kumar accompanied T.M. Krishna. Before the main item was rendered where the "Thani " will be played. Mr. Krishna requested the audience after introducing the young artist "not to move when "Thani" starts to encourage the young man. The audience obliged. How many Artists has got this gesture and benevelence?

In the concert at Sri Parthasarathyswami sabha when Manoj Siva was to start his "Thani" people started moving and Mr.Krishna requested to stop the "Thani" until all those indecent people leave the hall. How many got the guts and courage to do so?

It is Mr. Krishna who constantly insisted and trained people not to move when Mangalam is sung. His experiments may not be liked by many. They do not attend his concerts. But there are thousand who throng the halls in all his concerts and this Anti TMK group cannot stop Krishna to go up in the ladder. If his music is not good, does this elite team calls, all those who are attending his concerts are idiots and they do not know the music. This appears to have come out of some sort of Jealousy of his popularity not only with senior audience but also with lot of youngsters.

Shocked to read this. I think you have very aptly concluded "This appears to have come out of some sort of Jealousy of his popularity not only with senior audience but also with lot of youngsters." கழுதைக்கு தெரியுமா கற்பூர வாசனை. Ideally we should ignore these kind of people who knew nothing about music and should not give importance to them.

I feel sad to see the emrgence of carnatic music nastiga. No body can belittle any one except himself. so this type of formation of sentences and using various artists name are objectionable. Can the person who commented badly on T M Krishna gather half an or 10% rasiga to be with him or even willing to hear these words. If you don't like decency is keep off. Krishna's service to music is unknown to you. It does n't deserve more reply than this. I feel sad why this was sent to many --should have been scraped in the beginning itself

i completely agree with you Sir; i was recently in Chennai and attended 4 of his concerts (over 8 days) and all the shows were full (even on the day it rained heavily - Thursday - he was willing to sing even if only 10 people were present - though in fact the hall was nearly full). He encourages youngsters and his coartistes.

Jaishankar said...

Bravo sir! TMK is an artiste who is constantly trying to push the boundaries of the art. Without people like him (and a few others), the art will stagnate and eventually die off. I mean, is this concert format so sacrosanct that no one can "dare" question this? Varnam-Fast Kriti-Pantuvarali-Another Fast Kriti-Big Kriti-Yet Another Fast Kriti-Pallavi-Slokam-Thiruppavai / Thiruppugazh-Javali-Thillana-Pavamana!!!

I appreciate TMK for exploring compositional forms other than the kriti; I appreciate Sanjay for singing 3 different pallavis in the same raga to get Tala flavours.

As with all experiments, some are bound to fail. It should not kill the experimentation process itself.

With due respects to the emotions and opinions written in this blog, I wish to add that i am a fan of TML as well but to my surprise on the 4 hours concert at Rani Seethai hall on the 8th Jan 2012, TMK instead of raga alaph, choose to do Thanam for Nattai followed by Violin (RK Shriramkumar) sang the pancharatnakriti on Nattai (Jagadanandakaraka)

Then in the RTP, After the alaph in Sankarabaranam, he did not sing Thanam but sang pallavi.

It took sometime to realise this arrangement as i was conditioned with the regular pattern but still enjoyed.

Few wispered "why this kolaveri krishna"

suggested experiments in future concerts:
1. start with saurashtra thaanam followed by pavamaana suthudu...
sing swaras and start charanam from sriganapathini...attach thani for this....totally one hour.
2.sankarabharanam alapana followed by ramachnadram rajeevaksham note swara by dikshitar.
3.rtp starting with thodi alapana,mixed with behag thaanam and followed by vara naradha of thyagaraja --- here anupallavi from giri pai will be mixed with this song, charanam from ramanukku man mudi tharithaale will also be mixed up. in the end there will be thani between violin and morsing. gatam and mridangam will be watcching.....
4.jana gana mana with a kambhodi alapana and sung in madhyamavathi.
two of his students will render this song along with him, each singing in turns for 5 minutes. so that it looks like perfect film music.
5.concert ends with vinayaka song comprising pallavi from ganarajena in arabhi, anupallavi from gajavadhana in sri ranjani and charanam from a bhajan in tillang prabho ganapathey. if u can have raga maalika , who said there cannot be a paattu maalika?? i will do every possible mix up.
when everry one is leaving, call back all and ask permission, shall i sing till next week and continue with pantuvarali alapana, thodi alapana, purvi kalyani alapana, ranjani alapana and mix it with "why this kolaveri di " as pallavi and its tamil version" yen indha kolaveri di?" in dharmavathi and simmendra madhyamam............
his concert continues but half the crowd has already died of heart attck. i am one of them....

This was my most favourite song. As far as the lyric is concerned, I used to feel, that there is no song equivalent to this. I have collection of this song rendered by almost all the artists. Now, after hearing this, I don;t feel like hearing any other artist to sing this song

Being a KG student in computer, only the inspiring mails and comments from you, help me to turn this blog interesting. More than that, the contributions from many of you, to make this blog interesting to read, play a major role in its success. It was my childhood ambition to run a magazine and this blog turned to be a "Readers Digest" like, because of contributions from you all on various subjects.

This blog is viewed at an average of more than 1200 every day from all corners of the world. It has got 12,230 music files and downloading is reaching 30,00,000 mark. The number of registered followers is just 2 short of 350. This has got 278 Carnatic music concerts and hope to complete 400 by end of 2012

Apparama bhakthi by Madurai Mani Iyer

2011-12-29T19:51:00.001+05:30

On 22nd December 2011 Sri. T. V. Sankarqanarayanan, in his concert at Partha sarathyswani sabha on the eve of centenary year of Madurai Mani Iyer sang most of his songs. When he was about to sing "Apparaama bhakthi" He said, " this is Maama's favourite song and I will try my best." Mr. Bhaskaran gave an opportunity by posting this in the face book. Hence I was also inspired to share with you.

Where two oceans meet... but do not mix! INCREDIBLE AND SIMPLY MIND-BLOWING!!!

These two bodies of water were merging in the middle of The Gulf of Alaska and there was a foam developing only at their junction. It is a result of the melting glaciers being composed of fresh water and the ocean has a higher percentage of salt causing the two bodies of water to have different densities and therefore makes it more difficult to mix. Photograph by Kent Smith.

Periyar is a 160 year old dam constructed with lime mixture with a total height of 160ft. or so.
British rulers of Madras State had given the life of the dam as 100 years and the agreement with Travancore Maharaja was signed for 99 years. How this changed to 999 years is a mystery as the entire matter was handled by Madras Presidency.

The only other masonry dam of this size and structure was demolished and rebuilt 25 years back somewhere else in the World. Grand Anicut cannot be called a dam but a barrage of insignificant height, and no pressure is caused on the structure as in large dams.

The frequent earthquakes in the dam area has created anxiety in Kerala. If it collapses, the 100 ft. high wall of water would rush down to Idukki dam carrying with it the trees, houses and structures with immense force that might cause collapse of the Idukki dam too and over 75 lakh people living in three districts might be drowned and swept away to sea, the City of Kochi gettiung submerged in 7ft. high waters.

Theoretically, the water of Periyar could be accommodated by Idukki if it is drained to it slowly. But the collapse and 100 ft. high wall of water will carry all debris of huge trees..etc. that might impact the Idukki to collapse.

Why should TN object to a new Dam? TN will continue to get water as before during the construction of the new dam a few hundred metres down the stream. Kerala assures suppy of the same quantity of water from the new dam on commissioning to TN. Entire expenses would be borne by Kerala and Central grants.

Perhaps sanity should prevail over the fissiparious actions seen now in creating venomous animosity between Tamils and Malayalees, by wily Politicians,totally unwarranted.

Follow your heart, it is smarter than you think

2011-12-21T14:11:00.001+05:30

Recently, Neurophysicists have been astonished to discover that the Heart is more an organ of intelligence, than (merely) the bodies' main pumping station. More than half of the Heart is actually composed of neurons of the very same nature as those that make up the cerebral system. Joseph Chilton-Pearce, author of The Biology of Transcendence, calls it "the major biological apparatus within us and the seat of our greatest intelligence."

The Heart is also the source of the body's strongest electromagnetic field. Each heart cell is unique in that it not only pulsates in synchrony with all the other heart cells, but also produces an electromagnetic signal that radiates out beyond the cell. An EEG that measures brain waves shows that the electromagnetic signals from the heart are so much stronger than brain waves, that a reading of the heart's frequency spectrum can be taken from three feet away from the body...without placing electrodes on it!

The Heart's electromagnetic frequency arcs out from the Heart and back in the form of a torus field. The axis of this Heart torus extends from the pelvic floor to the top of the skull, and the whole field is holographic, meaning that information about it can be read from each and every point in the torus.

The Hearts' torus electromagnetic field is not the only source that emits this type of electromagnetic field. Every atom emits the same torus field. The Earth is also at the center of a torus, so is the solar system and even our galaxy...and all are holographic. Scientists believe there is a good possibility that there is only one universal torus encompassing an infinite number of interacting, holographic tori within its spectrum. Because electromagnetic torus fields are holographic, it is more than likely that the sum total of our Universe is present within the frequency spectrum of a single torus.

This means that each one of us is connected to the entire Universe and as such, can access all the information within it at any given moment. When we get quiet and access what we hold in our Hearts, we are literally connecting to the limitless supply and Wisdom of the Universe, thereby enabling what we perceive as "miracles" to enter into our lives.

When we disconnect and shut down the Heart's innate wisdom of Love-based thinking, the ego-based intellect takes over and operates independently of the Heart, and we revert to a survival mentality based on fear, greed, power, and control. In this way, we come to believe that we are separate, our perception of life shifts into one of limitation and scarcity, and one in which we must fight in order to survive. This amazing organ, that we often time ignore, neglect and build walls around, is where we can find our strength, our faith, our courage and our compassion, enabling our higher emotional intelligence that can, if we allow it, guide us through our lives.

We must now switch the gears out of the fear-based mental state that we have been taught to believe in, and move into Heart Centered living. For this transformation to take place, one must learn to meditate, "go into your Heart" and access the inner wisdom of the Universe. It is the only way, it is THE WAY. As each one of us begins this quiet revolution of living from the Heart, we will begin to see it reflected in our lives and in our World. This is how each one of us will create change in the world, create Peace, create Harmony and Balance, and in this way, will we all create the New World Paradigm of Heaven on Earth.

The heart is also the first organ that is being formed in the womb. The rest comes later

Jack Long uses high-speed photography to capture the moment a splash is made in a cup of coffee. The Milwaukee-based photographer has taken a year to perfect his secret technique, but claims the effect is not created by dropping liquid as seen in other splash photography...

...He says: "I have been working for over a year with this unique, self discovered method of suspending liquids into the air and capturing them with short duration flash lighting." He uses a Canon 1Ds MkII camera with a Canon 28-70 f2.8 lens at 50mm. He explains: "The shutter speed was set at 125, but because I was using high speed flash I just needed to trigger the lights while suppressing ambient light. I have used an infrared flash trigger at times but these are triggered more by eye and feel than with an electronic system."

...that fear is one of the main sources of cruelty. To

conquer fear is the beginning of wisdom.

Bertrand Russell said that, and he was right. Elisabeth

Kubler-Ross said, "Fear and guilt are the only enemies

of man." She was right, too. And Franklin Roosevelt

famously said, "We have nothing to fear but fear

itself."

This is different, still enjoyable

Ten Point Program for happy Family

2011-12-14T21:57:00.001+05:30

Dada Vaswani, head of Sadhu Vaswani
Mission is a great Philanthropist, Philosopher, Author, Poet and a
thrilling international speaker. During his last visit to Chicago he
presented at Chinmaya Mission Chicago a talk on "Art of Happy Home and
Family". During his talk he gave ten point practical advise for house
holder to make the home a happy home. He concentrated on developing the
understanding for the others (Not with mind but with heart).

Here are excerpts of the ten points:

1. Avoid the next quarrel: Never lose temper at the same time. Don't let the sun set on your
quarrels (Never prolong fights if at all started). It is OK to say "I am sorry"

2. Do not expect perfection from your spouse: Marriage is coming together of two imperfect beings. Don't expect wife or husband to like this or that, accept them as they are.

3. Be a Good Listener: Think before speaking, it is a good idea to weigh before you speak. You are master of unspoken words but slave of spoken words. Better than
listening from ear is listening through mind (with attention) and better than that is listening from heart.

4. Be a good forgiver: Some people forgive but they keep the memory alive or they forgive
conditionally. Forgiveness should be complete and unconditional.

5. Grow in the spirit of humility: Be humble. Egos bring arrogance which divide and separate people.

6. Learn the art of appreciation: We all like to be appreciated. Always appreciate in front of others.
Never criticize in a company of friends and relatives, you will get
opportunities in privacy.

7. Do not argue: Winning love and friendship is far greater than winning an argument. It is OK
to discuss with a open mind. Learn to win love and affection rather than arguments.

8. Develop healthy sense of humor: Learn to laugh and be cheerful. It is a great tonic for healthy living
and being accepted by friends. It is important to laugh with others and
NOT at others.

9. Always lend a helpful hand: You will win over if you have this attitude of offering a helpful hand with or without asking.

10. Bring GOD back into your home: This is one of the most important one. Have a common time for prayers. It
brings families together. Families that pray together stays together.
