A photo shoot to Thiruvennainallur

It was on 18 Oct 09 that Sathiyan, a pro photo blogger and myself set our cameras to have a photo shoot at the famous temple of Lord Shiva at Thiruvennainallur.

So far, for many years now, I used to have convo with Sathiyan but all only thru online means, but never had a chance through offline. Its simply a wow to have seen him for the first ever time, in person.

He had now come from Banglore to Tindivanam for his Thalai Deepavali (The first deepavali after wedding) and Sunday combined with this Diwali holiday had given us a chance to make out this photo shoot to this famous temple of Lord Shiva.

We planned to shoot the evening sunlight - after 3.00 p.m.

The place is some 45 Kms from my home and I started on my bike at 2.00 p.m.

Hey, Where is it this place?

I hear you asking...

The place Thiruvennainallur is in Villupuram district and nearly 50 kms from Cuddalore. If you are coming from Chennai, the directions are as follows...
From Chennai reach Villupuram on the NH45.
Then continue on the same NH45 towards Ulundurpet side.
You will reach Arasoor a place which comes after some 10 to 12 kms from Villupuram
Now take a right turn
After some 8 kms you will reach Thiruvennainallur.


The above pic was clicked at Arasoor. To the left is Villupuram and the right side is leading to Ulundurpet. I am standing on the road leading to Thiruvennainallur.

Sathiyan reached this spot after a while. The great thing for us was that this is the first time we ever see each other. We quickly set our photo journey on the bike. We had two places in our plan and the first place is a village called Gramam which is 4 kms from Arasoor and it is en-route Thiruvennainallur.

First we reached the Shiva temple at Gramam by about 4.00 p.m. and the temple was found closed. We two were the only visitors and message was passed to the person in charge of opening the temple about our arrival. Meanwhile we had a photo shoot of the people who were passing their time around nearby the temple. That is a good village location and people are having their good time. Its somewhat envious to know that these villagers lead a peaceful life and enjoying the calmness almost all the time. Somewhat a rare scenario for us in our day to day life.


Photo shoot in progress around the temple. First, this little boy made the subject for Sathiyan's click.


This is the after effect of that. Many boys swarmed into the clicking frame of Sathiyan.
Children were too enthusiastic and were competing among themselves to appear before Sathiyan’s camera.

At this instant I found the talent in Sathiyan, on how he makes his subjects comfortable for his click while keeping himself his cool. A bit tricky situation for the photographers in capturing at public places.

As you visit his blog, you will be stunned with nice clicks with natural lighting. Though handling the camera and using the sunlight for photography be played with little effort. Making the subjects, especially the public and making them comfortable is a real big task. I found that skill in him being played at the top of perfection.
A wonderful portrait photographer.
Wow.

After awhile that person came and opened this temple for us to pay obeisance.


This is the main gopuram of the Shiva temple in "Gramam"


Another click inside the temple.

A cute little girl named Kavitha and her brother Thamizharasan were coming with us when we were inside the temple. Whenever they were clicked they will look at their image on the camera screen and give out a broad satisfying smile.


That is Kavitha


This is Tamilarasan, brother of Kavitha.


The Shiva Lingam.


Behind the scenes. Thamizharasan making a curious look.


The Suriya Bahavan is making his departure. He is important for any photo shoot to succeed.


Kavitha and Tamilarasan.


Tried to capture the sunlight with composure of the shadows and the ancient wooden door. Since mine is a simple mobile phone camera, this is the best I managed to get.


People photography in the progress

After we paid obeisance, we started off for Thiruvennainallur.


Ahh, we have reached.

That is the temple gopuram of this famous temple of Lord Shiva.


What the legend says?

Thiruvennainallur is closely related with the history of Saivite Acharya Sundarar. The saint was in his wedding attire to marry the daughter of Sadangavi Sivachariya. Lord Shiva of the temple intervened in the guise of an old man and claimed Sundarar as his slave and produced documentary evidence signed by his father to substantiate his claim. Sundarar stoutly refuted the claim and called the Lord a lunatic. Unmindful of the retortation of Sundarar, the Lord dragged Sundarar to the Temple and simply disappeared. Realizing that the old man was none other than the Lord himself, Sundarar shed tears of apology. The Lord asked Sundarar to sing on him and suggested that he could use the word Pitha (lunatic) for a start which he used while refuting his claim. That was the first famous hym of Sundarar on Lord beginning with the line “Pitha Pirai Soodi” (Oh! Lunatic Lord wearing the moon) reverently chanted by the devotees. Then he proceeded to the Shiva shrines throughout Tamilnadu and sung his praise.

After entering the temple, on the right side north a mandap could be seen, where the Lord and Sundarar argued and the Panchayat took place. People carry the sand from the place and keep it for their worship. Also the sandals which the lord wore while coming to claim Sundarar is also still available in the temple.

A wonderful photography tip I learned from Sathiyan was on how to do silhouetting. I for the first time learning this on my camera and the result is quite awesome.

Its simple, first point your camera to the sun and make the focus. Having your camera focus locked, turn your camera to your subject (Gopuram) and click. A wonderful result in the above picture.
Wow

If I am not using this technique in the above picture, then the Gopuram might have appeared brighter and Sun should have appeared dimmer.

Try on your camera. Even this can be tried on mobile phone cameras, provided it has the auto focus facility.

Sathiyan making record of the dusk.




This is the temple of Lord's Consort.


The Lord had lead Sambanthar up to the temple, left His sandals outside and went inside the temple. Lord Shiva then appeared at the spot shown above and then disappeared after instructing Sambanthar to sing a song on Him.



That is Sathiyan...


We left this temple and went for another Perumal temple which is nearer to this. By this time, dusk was approaching and there was only one person inside the temple who is looking after this temple.



We paid obeisance to the Lord and set off with fond memories of this historical temple village.

A nice photo walking experience with Sathiyan. He is very good in making his subjects cooperate to his clicks. Very few people master this art in making their subjects comfortable at the quickest possible time. In a place such as not used up to, he makes it bit fast and finishes his captures.

It was totally an awesome experience of photo walking as well learn the art of photography in bits and pieces.

The dirty pond.

1 Nov'09

Yesterday(31 Oct), I was late out of office - left at 9.00 p.m. After that I got lift in my boss's car, after a 4 kms drive reached the place Pakkam Koot, a place en route from factory to Pondy. This is of course a small road junction from where I could get a bus to my place Cuddalore.

It was about 9.15 p.m. and I am lucky (: to get a local town bus which travels from this Pakkam Koot Road to reach my town Cuddalore. It was a little satisfaction for me that I got a bus which is too odd given the time of the night. Yes, after 8.30 p.m. its rare to get a bus back to home from this location.

Anyhow, I proudly got into the bus with a piece of mind to having an opportunity to sit and relax my arse off after the hard days work of mending a couple of power point presentations umpteen number of times for the corporate conference which is happening tomorrow at Chennai. There were very a few people in this bus at this odd hour. One among the VIP was a 50 year old drunkard who was not in his senses. He was lifted into the bus and made to sit on the floor by his two friends. He was so much in his kick of the drink, that, he went on to lie on the floor to take a deep slumber. On talking with his buddies, I came to know that this fellow had drunk too much after his day's work of cutting sugar cane. Generally these type of work are better paid compared to other type of farm work in the surrounding area.

Not more than 7 people were there in the bus. After a 20 minutes of journey through the narrow roads and numerous bends, the alighting place for our drunken fellow had come. Now his friends awaken him to get down. The VIP throws out a surprising question, "Hey, why are you disturbing my sleep?" After a few attempts, he was made to understand that he was then travelling in a bus and his home has reached. The great bus which is the last chance of the day for the people to reach home, now stops for this great man to get down. The driver and the conductor of this bus has to be praised for so much passenger friendly.

Unlucky me, I got into this bus which I have so far not tried, since it is a round about journey for me to travel back to my home. But at this time of the night, and that too a rainy day, its some minimum probability for me to get through the other wise straight route.

After a few stops there were only two passengers including me, that was a very old lady (paati).The bus was travelling with right turns, left turns and jolts due to the gift called pot holes. Some times, these efforts of bus facility being provided to the not so populated villages at the odd hours are to be lauded.

A few minutes, there was a noise of stones hitting the back side glass of the bus. Glass pieces of the back window were flying inside towards me. The driver stopped the vehicle and got down to chase the culprit. The two back side glass panes bore the burnt. Ohh, some bad guy had transferred his fury on to the bus. Apart from the two passengers there were nobody around. It was damn dark and was dead calm outside, giving some frightening moments at the end of the day for me with desperation to reach home and fill my hungry stomach.

After a few minutes, I could hear the bus crew come back while conversing with few more people. The persons who came with the crew, were pity of the dastardly act by some rowdy sheeter. I was too tired of the days work combined with skipping the dinner in the bad plan of getting a sumptuous dinner way back at home.

Oh, poor me was drawn aback of the unlucky time get to give life time experiences then and there. Now the driver made a mobile call to his superior to get advised of first making a complaint to the concerned police station. Ofcourse, the police station is very far away from the incident spot. These are the rich formalities for a Government bus, though the condition of the bus is so poor when compared with a private bus. Unlucky me, I should have decided to go on my usual route rather than jumping to get on seeing a bus.

What say, things happen and some times we need to get wise by these odd experiences.

Now, the crew got to speak with two more passerby. Later decide to inform the local village head as advised by the passerby. I guess, the passerby should be the Macbeth. Since there were nobody around, I decided to go along with the crew to the place were there were many hutments. The guy who was accompanying us, told about the incident to the “village head” and asked him to come.

Afterwards he came outside his hut. He was a bit small guy and did not seems like a village head. He then speaks out that such incidents do not happen without his knowledge and must be handiwork of people from some other village. He then speaks out that he was organizing a hartal in the morning in protest of ransacking of his leader’s office at Chennai. He says with glory of his police arrest subsequent to the hartal in the morning and that he just then reached home after release a few minutes then.

Much of years and generations are needed to make these people know of what to do for the country, how to protest and what to do for developing the country rather than making protest at the drop of the spoon. Our country has too much of people falling in this category, and its much needed to change their mindsets.

Then, all of us headed to the incident spot. The “village head” sees of the damages. The passerby was all along accompanying us and he was the one who was leading us to the hutment of the so called “village leader” and back to the bus. I suppose he was the black sheep and pretending to be making humane approach to us at the same time confirming to his “village head” that he has accomplished his part of protest. Though public are there at the loggerheads of getting affected, luckily the stone or the glass did not hit any of the two passengers.

After discussions back and forth with his superiors, the bus driver managed to make the drive to the nearby police station which itself is some 20 kms away. After the melee of some 45 minutes, before the bus made to the police station, I managed to get off at the main road and catch another bus back to my home after a delay of 1.5 hours at the mid of the night.

There are many places on earth which do not have proper roads to approach.
There are many countries in the world where proper transport is not available.
There are small villages which did not ever seen a transport facility for generations.

But, here even though the road was too narrow, with nearly hundred blind curves and millions of pot holes in just a 25 kms route...
Though the driver and conductor are courteous enough to work at the extreme hostile conditions, in accustoming with the poorest of the villagers, there is a tribe called rowdy who makes his journey on to that road, just throw a gravel onto the bus just for his whims and fancies.
The shitty reason may be that his leader got cold and cough and he wants to express his displeasure by damaging the public property. There would be a huge fan base in the name of self acclaimed "village leader" for him and a clan makes out its sojourn to make a talk in his town.

Bull shit

Will not these people get to come out of their dirty pond.

My experience of fire fighting

Had you ever got the chance to fight the fire ?

There had been enough time, I had the chance to see videos, hear news and stories related with fire accidents. But on a Friday, that was on 24^th of July’09, I got a real life experience with fire accident at my factory.

There was a place inside the factory where scrap tyres would be dumped. These tyres go out when buyers procure them for making out rubber based products. These tyres where the fire accident happened are of the sizes that are fitted in bus & lorry which weigh above 50 Kgs. The location of the scrap yard is some half a kilo meter from my working location.

The first sight I came to know about this bad incident was from a black smoke which was gushing high up into the sky. Some of us started rushing to the accident site. The fierce flame was engulfing high up 50 feet above. Smoke was seen further high into the sky. Later came to know that the billowing black smoke was witnessed by people from far off regions 10 kilometers away.

My factory site has been equipped with fire hydrant system. It is a facility where pipe line runs around the manufacturing facility in which water is always maintained at high pressure. Tap points are available from which Fire-man hoses need to be fitted and lead to the incident area. The taps are then opened and water at high pressure is directed towards the fire accident point. This is very much similar to the ones used by Fire Rescue Personnel though pressure of the water will be bit higher in a hydrant line.

The usual grasp for every one of us on seeing a fire man quenching the fire is that of a similarity to spraying water in your little garden. But the fire man hose has water running at very high pressure and handling it is bit risky. If not handled properly, chances of getting a fatal head injury is imminent.

We people know on what to do in such emergency. Thanks to the mock drills which are conducted on routine basis. There were two fire hydrant tap points available near the incident area. A few months before this incident, I got the chance to be there involved as communication coordinator in that mock drill. I got little chance on how a fire hydrant facility would be used in case of emergency. Incidentally that mock drill that was conducted was just a few meters away from this accident spot. But this day, it’s a real experience.

There were two tap points on the hydrant facility available near the accident spot, one was engaged for fire fighting by some of the people working nearby who got the chance to rush first to the incident spot. Now, when we went there, the crowd is of good strength and another hydrant line was also engaged. So, now two water hoses had got to fight the fire.

The second line was being managed by one of the security officers. The hose line was not straight and had wrinkles, some of us tried to straightened it. This was the first ever time I got to touch the live fire hose. Since pressurized water is flowing through it, it was too heavy and not easy to handle. That was a mistake we did. While we were handling the hose, we actually were disturbing the hose and it’s a real endangerment for the person who is directing the high pressure water. A slip off his hand will make everyone around him even to the extent of their skull being fractured or ripped off by the exit point of the hose which is a heavy brass tip. The extent of the fire is so big, and it is too hard to control.

At this juncture the Fire department's brigade arrived at the spot.

The second hose which we were managing was actually running across the approach road and the brigade’s vehicle got stuck in the way to reach nearer to the accident spot. After some melee the second line was put off and vehicle made its movement to the point nearer to the incident. The fire engine had the facility to extend out two hoses. In the next few minutes water from their couple of hoses were in action. The fire is still at its big and only a bit of it was actually controlled.

Now four hoses are at disposal to fight the fire and of that 4 only 3 were actually used. Since two hoses were draining out water from the fire engine, one of the hydrant line was now used used to fill water in the water tank of the fire engine. So the water from this tank gets out through two hoses to extinguish and the water from the second hydrant line fills the tank.

Now a rhythm has got into play and three water pressure points (two from the fire brigade) and one of our own fire hydrant facility is in rhythm to fight the raging fire. At this point I was manning the hose running into the water tank of the fire engine. The handling of this hose is very hard and its risky to stand atop the van with few chances to catch hold for self support. Me and another person had put the hose point into the tank and pressurized water was filling the water tank. I was monitoring the water level in the fire brigade’s water tank. In a few minutes the water tank was full and overflowing. The water coming through the hose was from a distance 100 meters away. The person controlling the hydrant point has to be shown the hand sign to close the water point. And at the peak of crowd sourcing making the day, the message was passed and my hose line was closed. The person who was with me had left after a few minutes.

My boss who was standing besides the fire engine was enquiring me of the water level. In another ten minutes the water level in the tank got down by nearly two feet. Now the tank needed a fill up. Now, two persons were needed to handle since hose becomes alive and wriggles out at high pressure. So I called one person who was standing down on the road to come up to the top of the brigade’s fire engine. I think this was his first experience too.

Message was passed for the tap controller to open the water. He just opened it and water is all of a sudden reached with full pressure to me. It was hard to manage. The end of the hose which is fitted with brass just came wriggling out of the water tank. It just came off and swirled all around and the person assisting with me and myself could not control it. It soaked me of my clothes, my boss and others standing nearby. Luckily I downed myself and saved my head. Otherwise the unexpected would have happened. The hose flew off into the ground and then the controller at the hydrant point has closed the water. This risk happened due to the fact that the pressure in the hydrant line was higher than it was before and the person manning the tap point should have increased the volume in steps very slowly.

Lucky that no one was hurt apart from getting wet due to the water gushing on us.

Then afterward two more people assisted me and the fire-man hose was put back to the tank. A little learning from the incident, that now communication was given clearly and the water pressure was maintained as required and at a low pressure. A sigh of relief and the input water and the outgoing water is some what stabilized. A big relief and a wonderful learning.

It took almost an hour to put off the fire.

Luckily no one was hurt. But the black fumes from the burning rubber had given the front line fighters a cover of its black coat. Many of them had to take make much efforts in removing those stains.

Almost it was a battle of sorts fought with coordination by hundreds of young and energetic men from my tyre manufacturing fraternity. We had that enigma called the coordination which just got out from everybody at the first sight of the villain called the fire. A great experience which brought out the talents in the midst of risks and finally the bad villain called the fire was snuffed off. Not to be missed out is the monetary loss due to this accident.

A great life time experience only a few will get to learn. Though I pray that no body should get affected by a fire accident. But everybody should get to learn the art of fire fighting.

Although it was a good learning experience, it includes risk of taking off your life if you fail to adhere to the safe practice of handling the fire fighting equipments.

Thank God.

Is it a reality?

I got a forwarded email which comprised of chronicles that coincided with the stories of Kamal Hassan Movies. I do not know if you like it, but the connections made out are really somewhat provoking.


1. In 1978, Kamal's tamil movie "Sivappu Rojakal" was released. He played the role of a Psychopath killer (femicide).

• A year later, a guy named "Psycho Raman" was caught for brutally murdering people especially women.

2. In 1988, Kamal played the role of an unemployed youth in the movie "Sathya".

• In 89-90's our country faced lot of problems due to unemployment.

3. In 1992, his blockbuster movie "Devar Magan" was released. It’s a village based subject. The movie portrayed scenes of communal clashes.

• Exactly a year later in 1993, there were many communal clashes in southern districts.

4. We all know in 1996 many people in our country was cheated by finance companies.

• Kamal Hassan had clearly depicted this in his movie "Mahanadhi" which was released in 1994, well a year in advance.

5. In "Hey Ram"(2000), there are few scenes relating to Hindu Muslim clashes.

• We all know 2 years later, Godhra (Gujarat riots) incident happened.

6. He used a word called 'tsunami' in his movie "Anbe Sivam"(2003).The word 'TSUNAMI' was not known to many people before.

• In 2004, 'tsunami' stuck the east coast of our country and many people lost their lives.

7. In his movie "Vettaiyadu Vilayadu "(2006) there are two characters called Ilamaran & Amudhan who played the roles of psychopath killers.

• After 3 months of release of the movie, the NOIDA serial killing came to light (Moninder & Sathish)

8. In his latest movie "Dasavatharam" in 2008 he mentioned about a deadly virus, which spread via air, that may destroy the world.

• Now in 2009 we have the Swine Flu that spreads through air. And to be specific, in the movie Kamal develops a bio weapon and finds out the deadly effect of the virus in a lab in America .
  
• Now the first case of Swine Flu was detected in Mexico ( America ). WHAT DO U CALL THIS ----- “A COINCIDENCE”?

Fingers crossed, lets see...

Happy Independence Day

Happy Independence Day to you...


That is my elder son Master.Suriya waving the Indian National Flag

A Gentlemen Only Ladies Forbidden party

In 2400 B.C. an Egyptian sage by name Ptahhotep, told that "All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy".
Somewhat true that we people at our factory were very much thirsty for a party. Little rumblings for the past few months in the labour front kept the planning for a party at bay. Nice climate have set in now for us to engulf into cloud nine. Its time to enjoy a party after a long hiatus.

Yup, its a bachelors' party
Gentlemen Only Ladies Forbidden - GOLF. Ha Haaa

A quick plan scheduled just a couple of weeks ago by the Club Office bearers made out into a wonderful party. I work for the past 11 plus years and there were many number of get-togethers / parties which happened in the past. But for the first time I am witnessing a crowd of whopping 250 plus folks making their head-on to this gala show.


It happened on the evening at Nalla Beach resort in Kalapet situated just opposite to the Pondicherry University campus. The nice cool and dry winds made up the best of the compliment from mother nature on Thursday the 23rd July '09.


I happened to arrive there earlier before the natural lighting went down. A nice blue sky, the Bay of Bengal in the background and a catchy green lawns made this photo of Elamparithi a nice one. Usually, during dusk the sunlight is dimmer and its bit tricky to make out a good photograph with a 3.2 Mega Pixel mobile phone camera. A bit of photo skills were used in clicking him. A white cloth on a table below him was used, the mild reflection from the cloth makes the subject in the photograph come out in a softer tone.


Preparations were almost over for the people to make the music.


That is the food counter awaiting for the play to happen.


The men in whites were students studying at Catering Institute in Pondicherry and working part time in the evening at the resort. Venkat is a old student of the same college and the students were very much faithful and sincere to their senior. Here Venkat is giving the guidance for the people to make the preps in the right way.


On the left is Mr.Srinivasan, the Safety Officer of our factory.
"The safe way to avoid injuring your hands is to fold in your fingers and keep it safely" someone seems to be telling at our safety officer.
But what is the sake of having your hands closed when it is needed to be open? Ha Haaa
That is where our Safety Department comes to play. "It defines that there is a safer way to do the work and if you do not abide, you will be surprised that the way to the exit gate is not too far" seems our Srinivasan sir to tell often to the colleagues / workers in their day to day worklife at the factory.


It is a customary that every party hosts a welcome moment for the new people who have joined our team. Here is a group photo of "Just-Joined" people with our boss.


A welcome speech by my boss Mr.Mohan Kurian.


It was a wonderful skit which had the concoction of Shivashanmugam's mimicry, Dhasavatharam's Balram Naidu character and that of the work style of a Safety Officer at our factory.


He is the Senior General Manager - Manufacturing by name Mr.Michael Ribeiro. He heads the manufacturing responsibilities of all 6 tyre manufacturing factories of my flagship company. He made a dash to the party from Chennai. The evening transformed into a wonderful one with his singing of Tamil song which pulled the crowd as if with a single string.


A skit in progress.


Yours truly in a catchy Tee which pulled many of the eyes at the party. The tee-shirt is a product of Inkfruit.com an online Tee Shirt store and my tee gets noticed here at their site.


Is it true that "Men smile more when their wives are not there?"




The excited crowd of people.


A chorus song which made the thiller to make out a dance.

A couple of videos which I managed to make out at the party. Since the lighting is at its minimum and my camera is ill equipped for such a situation, I think you may not in-turn send me your brickbats. With these couple of videos I am sure you join me here in this party.




The evening was nicely spent and after having dinner I made my bid adieu at 10.00 p.m

Some more scribblings related to my office at this blog is here
