** நேரம் **

வேலைகள் பலவுண்டு முக்கியமாய் செய்வதற்கு !!
வீட்டு வேலைகள்; அலுவல் பணிகள்;
படிப்பதற்க்கான புத்தகங்கள்; கற்பதற்கான விஷயங்கள்;

கவிதையாய் மாறவேண்டிய மனதிலுள்ள கரு;
சமூகத்திற்கு செய்ய வேண்டிய நற்கடமைகள்;
கேட்க வேண்டியநல் இனிய பாடல்கள்;

பார்க்க கூடிய சிறப்பான திரைப்படங்கள்;
பட்டியல் இட்டேன் நாளை செய்வதற்கு
உறக்கம் வராது படுத்திருந்த ஒர்-மதியத்தில் !!

** Hooliganism in Assembly **

Raj Thackeray, before two days, had issued a diktat to all newly elected MLAs to take oath in Marathi. When a MLA of SP party took oath in Hindi, RJ's party MLAs abused, manhandled and did everything that goes against human decency to stop him from taking oath.

"Maharashtra only of Marathis" reminds me of the old "Tamil Nadu only for Tamilians" slogan of our own Dravidian parties in Tamil Nadu during the 70s and 80s. All such acts are just political gimmicks and no real good intentions are meant. To me, such personalities, who instigate and stroke separatism are no different from Maulana Azad and other terror group heads. This is only a different form of Terrorism with similar such goals in mind. In fact, acts instigating separatism from within our own land is more dangerous. Setting Indians against Indians is monstrous and would split the nation. Hence these activities needs to be curbed with iron hand.

These sort of Regional chauvinism is no different from Racism. In Australia, the recent attacks on Indians were based on colour of skin - here it is based on the language one speak. There are too many politicians and political parties these days. Everybody want to show themselves as a savior of public, clamoring for public attention and lime light - so that they can go on looting public money. Raj Thackeray is no different. 6% of Maharashtrians who voted for Raj's party in the just concluded elections would have put their head down in shame due to act that was enacted by RJ's party MLAs yesterday.

** Rain in Chennai **

Till last week, lot of areas in Chennai had gone dry. Wells had turned into dustbins in many parts of Chennai. Bore pumps were not pumping out water. Few more days and the situation would have turned too bad and ugly. Thankfully, rain arrived - though a bit late. Forget the difficulties that the rain poses to the city dwellers - water logged roads, etc etc. The trouble is just for five or six days. Without rain, it would be a year long trouble !! In Chennai, it has been raining for the past three days and still, I think, the water bodies have not received enough inputs to sustain till next year.

It is here that we need to think about the importance of water bodies - many water bodies in Chennai have already turned into "plots" -or- is already a sewage canal. News relating to melting of glaciers, Artic ice, etc., indicating global warming is a real point of concern. Natural resources are visibly bursting at its seams. The only initiative, to save natural resources, I ever saw in Tamil Nadu was before few years - the rule, which made saving of rain water in all buildings a mandatory condition. That brought in a visible change in the water table level in the city. Many such proactive measures needs to put in place before it is too late !!
