Hey YOU..DoN’t B1OcK the BlOgGerZ

I just woke up from my sleep after swallowing 2 fever tablets. I’m feeling very uneasy with my fever since yesterday evening as it prevents me from doing my work as usual. With all the pain, feverish I drove back from JB to KL this morning..I had no choice as I need to appear in the office tommorow…not forgeting 3 meetings.

Ouchhh my body still aches horribly with pulsating headaches !
Leave all that aside, Today I need to write about " Irratai Kilavi" (IR), well it doesn’t mean Double Old lady !! The meaning totally differ…Iratai Kilavi is gramattical term widely used in tamil preferably for Poem or rhyme, One can refer to Tholkapium.Iratai killavi is nothing but repeated sounds - syllable without any meaning. If you could recall Kannodu Kanbathelam song from Jeans, the meaning is clearly described. " Sala -Sala irattai killavi , Taga-Taga Irattai Killavi undalo tamilil undalo , Pirithi vaithal Nyayam illai, Pirrithi paarthal porulum illai, Rendalo irandum ondralo" Most of ARR songs embedded IR widely,  which easily make one song hit, this is world renowned truth, well reasearched and analysed. But mind you this words is meaningless if it survive as single word, try breaking them..!! Example most of you would have watch Roja today " Chinna- Chinna -China asai ( double words) and everyone knows this song won many awards and we hymm till today…Ilayaraaja is one of them..Many people perhaps haven’t listened to Raaja Sir’s "Sanghathil paadatha" Song, it became hit very recently after almost 15 years, Thanks to Jaya TV for screening the Maestro’s live concert " Andrum Indrum Endrum". He performed beautiful Violin instrumentation for this song at ITALY.

"..Sindhi then senthoora ithalgalil , sindhi then paigindra uravvai, Konjum thaan Konjathaan.." Song from Auto Raja ( Sanghathil Paadatha Kavithai). "Sindhithen .. Sindhi Then"  have double meaning it could be either "Think/Recalling" or "Honey drops" same goes to " Konjumthan .. Konjathan" it could mean
"love passionately" or "a little" , Marvellous Song. Listen to this song completely, try to digest the lyrics..Awesome.Some history of me learning tamil, I never attend any tamil school to learn tamil , my tamil is soooo bad during school days. When I was in Primary school I didn’t utter any tamil words with my classmates, not only me well the whole class is like that !! Till now we don’t know the reason..It is my own initiative, starting is very painful as I have no one to help me, Thanks to Mr.Murugesu ( I took tamil class from him when Im 14years old) at school. In the mid year the POL (People’s Own language) class got scrapped off, we’re left without a tamil Sir since then. He was my backbone, He used to scold me if my pronounciation is wrong !! followed by The Late Mr.Uthuman Ghani Sir and Meenakshi Sabapathy who have instilled and be a role model in my life to read, learn and live tamil.

OK time to take my medicine now…

It has been long time wish to have dinner with my best collegues and also in a way to celebrate the SRA award that all 4 of us receive recently.. It is a remarkable atmosphere at Chutney’s accompanied with Hindi beats, We had had fun, laughs and joy !!  Not to forget, we lose our way to KL-Putrajaya exit & got stuck at Kuchai Lama Entrepeuner park alongside Pasar Malam… I tend to lose way if I get distracted while driving…, Well it won’t happen every time, It only happen if my mind is distributed disturbed.

As usual Im very hungry but unable to finish my little food , Well I did get a funny stare from opposite ;-P

While driving back to home today I got stuck in a terrible flood, THR kept me company with beautiful songs.

One of the song’s very deeply sang lullaby to my ears, each words are still snowing …

என் வண்ணிலே ஒரு தேய்வ மின்னல் வந்தது 
என் நெஞ்சினில் அது கிள்ளி விட்டே சென்றது 
பாவை பூவை கள்ளங்கள் காக்கும்
அந்த காதல் ரனங்கலாய் மறைத்து முதுவேன்  
சிறிது வாழ்ததூவேன் !!

Recently the newspaper is mushrooming with news about Malaysian well known child prodigy. I have been closely reading everything before even i started hitting the keyboard, It is just very sad to see the outcome. Education slavery has turned many kids into nerds and nightmares !! They don’t even laugh at any jokes perhaps they don’t even understand that it is joke, what they know is E=MC square or some mathematics formula. For a young intellect to secure a seat in reputable university Oxford at very young age is something that need to be applauded and praised BUT it resulted in tragedy !

Nowdays it had been trend for expecting mother’s to fix headset around the tummy , so that the babies will start learning while swimming in the placenta !! Kids are getting smarter than how we used to be those days, smarter due to the rapid growth of technologies, parents compete with each other to ensure their kids outsmart another and the list can grow. But where are we heading ? Parents are forcing " education " into their adoloscent brain at the age when he’s supposed to play with Lego Sets or Mattel, they are forced to become slave to books or computers.

I will not forget my childhood and most of us don’t, I had fun time with my childhood friends where we go fishing together, cycling around the Taman just to pluck flowers, playing firecrackers , playing "gasing" , " getah" , "Batu Seremban" , very authentic " masak-masak" congkak and even those squares we draw on the sand and jump in single leg ( sorry guy’s forgot the name). I had fun time, although was scolded by my mom for over spending time playing and not studying, as we grew we started to focus more on other sports activities but we do have our freedom and not being programmed some maths formulas !! Education slavery don’t have any rooms for all this fun times, 24x7 books, memorizes, formulas, theory.. nothing than numbers,digits and letters !!

I have many years experience in educating, most parents tell me only ONE sacred Mantra , " Please Make Sure He/She get’s a A for the subject, Just do anything you can, I want HIM/HER to be a Doctor/Engineer/Lawyer, HE/SHE must do better than my nephew/Niece or better than my neighbour’s child" !!!  I get sick and tired. I fail to understand , Why the parents forget to give the space for their kids to breathe ? Isn’t it sad to think about it, I can’t even digest to think some parents even locked their TV set and Radios during exams !! We have not forgotten wonders made by dropout like Bill Gates and Albert Einstein in our daily life, Im blogging today due to Bill Gates and my room has light because of Thomas Alva Edison !! They are just simple people whom have captured our hearts till today !!

It has left scars in many hearts when we read about the recent child prodigy case, Although her path may not right but she has all her reasons for being so, My hope is that she will turn into new leaf, have a steady and healthy lifestyle. A genius like her will easily be able to adapt to the change & lead a life that she wants, I never wanted to discriminate anyone. Ultimately I respect the soul that is within her !!!
