Sembarambakkam Lake

The Lake was on my list of places to be seen around Chennai for very long time and it happened at last to be my first traveled place of this year and it is enormous to see such a lake very near to Chennai, which is one of the three prime lakes that’s the source of water to Chennai. After coming across the hustle bustle of Poonamallee (a suburb town which is always crowded connecting the NH4 with Chennai) a calm narrow road leads to the lake after taking a right about a km on the NH4 with a small sign board as indication.

After certain meters the road takeover the lake bank and the drive were around the lake with vast view of water and a lonely pelican swam on it. The road stretches for couple of km on the bank has a wonderful lake tower at the near end of the lake shutters is an attractive Chinese style of building, painted in red as a four story is housed as a measuring lever of water. It seems the lake tower is not open for public view.

Near the tower a women was selling fishes caught from the lake and a man was fishing from sailing on a plank like cork. We drew slowly around the lake before halt for sometime near the shutter where some boys were jumping off into the discharged water and having fun along swimming in the water pool. Lately the lake overflowed due to monsoon rain and abundant water was discharged into the Adyar River which is a rare occasion people gather to watch.

Later we moved down via the floor bridge after sighting a kingfisher, which constantly flapping it wings near the water surface in search of fish was interesting to see its many attempts by submerge into the water to catch fish. There was another road climbing to the other side of the lake bank after crossing the shutters, but having known later that Kundrathu Temple is nearby we redirect to temple by cease plan to stay back sometime.

Monitor

The indication has been blinking for some time and giving minute trouble while opening the windows and rarely give away to call the service bro to open the window reached its conclusion on Wednesday by testifying my patient to work with a monitor that 11 years old. Many reached me with the idea to change the monitor and some agreed with the clarity, clearance and wonderful resolution that content me to go with the monitor forever unless it refuse to work or loss its charm and beauty that bear my sight so far.
New LCD monitor
Brought in 2000, it has been accompanying me until day before yesterday has leant to learn so many things regarding reading, writing, sharing, viewing, drawing… through its screen and enduring the strain we gave to it immense operating. I went oh no attitude when the window screen shrunk after a constant vibration that interrupt my work sign it’s gonna suffer to die doesn’t reach my mind then and later causing a melting odor to shutdown quite.

It might have gone already if the product wasn’t good or we didn’t take care of it and amazing it never get into trouble or deliver a problem to get service and withstand the quality in its standard and smart resolution towards ending. Being patient has given me a best opportunity now to review things refreshingly and newly through the new LCD 18.5” monitor to disclose clearly the beauty across overseas and giving a content feeling of viewing the high resolution unlike ever.

The Samsung’s CRT monitor has been the best performer for me so far among the electronic items purchased which let me go for Samsung products such as LED TV and now the LCD monitor, cause a hope that it would continue to be so as so far for me.

Have a great weekend buddies!

Payanam (Travel)

Did a night Payanam (Travel) to drive-in, to watch the movie based on plane hijack which no more different or usual from the various movies released across overseas on this genre landing the Tamil cinema on a newer platform. Only few movies standup to its expectation and I no more expect anything from this movie, except hoping it would be a simply nice movie.
Radhamohan, the director of late Mozhi and Abhiyum Naanum has live up to his chance to showcase his talent in creating the screenplay does a different patrol around the hijack venue disclosing a exuberant flight with an entertaining process. The movie has no songs is the pulse point of this serious joyous and diplomatic action movie revolves in and around the plane which gives an idea about traveling in it

Almost all characters shares the journey does a vital role in leading the movie led by Nagarjuna as commando and Prakashraj as security official enhance the audiences with vibrant action and comedy impact with renewal of small scale attacks and heroic act by commandos. The screenplay was interesting perhaps no boredom to defeat even the situation where familiar to obvious the sense has been different by ploy and incorporate climax.

Moreover the movie is an entertainment pack with extensive reliable aspects to accommodate the movie as also a commercial success to be balanced among audience. The cinematography was excellent in promoting the flight journey and neatly captured the smart hijack which is more or less gracious. The commando activities are superb and Nagarjuna was befit to the character in an elegant role is yet set to go another round in Tamil cinema.

Payanam is a pleasant journey to be laid as one of milestones in Tamil filmdom.

Myna myna

If there could be a song I watched plenty of times lately would be the Mynaa Mynaa... from Tamil movie Mynaa, followed by a huge fan affair in early and latter year and of course top stars were praised to not able to be a part of the movie. The song captured wonderfully the awe... of a man who discovers a new phase of aspects in his girlfriend which cause a combat within his heart.


Amala Paul as heroine cause a naïve expressions that could melt any solid mind and of course I was someone seize by her visage. The song sequence, music, lyrics are all produce a fantastic extravagant and put on aviation throughout the song. It is one of the best of 2010 and continues to be so… Happy Valentine’s to everyone!

Milk, depravation and agitation

Our first drink and food are certainly feed by milk from our mother’s breast which is significant than anything that could be compared with healthy and nutrition value to a child, but we aren’t constant to feed from our mothers lap after certain months and years thus shifting to feed on cattle’s such as cows, buffalos, goats, camels… according to available on states and countries.
We all know the significance of milk, which deals with our nutrition and health as a daily usage convenient to our taste and flavors by creating our own recipe. From our birth to death we deals with milk for immense reasons and most of all it’s a treat when it combines as coffee or tea that cause a refresh according to our state of mind and sense and defuses the yawn at dawn and tiredness at dusk.

We all know how the inflation has affected our daily usage and milk isn’t a thing except from this cause and its need and price aren’t at less these days and more over the Milk producers are at intense struggle to increase their purchase price. There are many ways to express their protest but what they do to showcase their request is atrocious and against their own livestock by pouring the collected milk on the roads and putting their cattle’s at diet restriction to produce less milk.

What agitate me more than their protest and threat to stop supplying milk was their way of aggressive towards cattle’s and wasting liters of milk on roads to deprave in unmindful. What they poured on roads are not their one day collection, it’s the collection of trust and value the immense liters that convey health and nutrition to children and many who survive on it and no mind will forgive seeing such atrocious attitude.

At other hand the petrol price is increasing at instant and we are unmindful at constant rise, but let’s stop here and think back at least now to do something to show our protest. The public has issued to not fill petrol on February 14th to disclose our agitation against the price rise to show our overall unity and strength against depravation. Lets hands together for a best cause!
