பெற்றோர் போற்றுதும்! …

NatarajanLeave a comment

நாம் ஒவ்வொருவரும் ஒரு கட்டத்தில் பெற்றோராகிறோம் என்றாலும், அந்த நேரத்தில் நம்மைப் பெற்றோரை நினைத்துப் பார்க்கும் போதுதான் அவர்கள் பட்ட கஷ்டம் நமக்குப் புரிகிறது. வாழ்க்கையில் வயது கூடக் கூட பாசமும் பயமும் பக்குவமும் அதிகரிக்கும் என்பது பொதுவான விதி. தன்னுடைய பிள்ளைகளின் எதிர்காலம் சிறப்பாக அமைய வேண்டும் என்பதற்காக தங்களுடைய நிகழ்காலத்தின் சுமைகளைத் தாங்கும் உறவுகள் தாய், தந்தையைத் தவிர வேறு உண்டா? வாழ்க்கையில் எத்தனையோ வளர்ச்சிகளைப் பிள்ளைகளுக்கு உரித்தாக்கி அவற்றைக் கண்ணாரக் கண்டு மகிழ்வோர் பெற்றோர் மட்டுமே.

அறிவியல் வளர்ச்சி மனிதனை ஆகாயம் வரை உயர்த்தி விட்டது. அந்த அபார வெளிச்சத்தில் உறவு, பந்தம், பாசம், நேசம் அன்பு எல்லாம் பொசுங்கிப் போய் விட்டன. மனித நேயம் கொஞ்சம் கொஞ்சமாக மரித்துப் போய் விட்டது. ஆனால், இன்றளவும் அதற்கு விதி விலக்காக இருப்பது பெற்றோர் – பிள்ளைகள் உறவு மட்டும்தானே. தாயும், தந்தையும் தன் பிள்ளைகள் மேல் வைத்திருக்கும் அன்பையும் பாசத்தையும் எந்த அறிவியலால் பிரிக்க முடியும்?

பிள்ளைகள் உதட்டில் புன்னகையைப் பார்த்தால் பரவசப்படுவதும், கண்களில் கலக்கத்தைக் கண்டால் ஓடி வந்து தாங்கிப் பிடிப்பதும் ஈன்றெடுத்த தாயும், பேணி வளர்த்த தந்தையும்தானே.

உணவு – உடை – பண்பாடு – கலாசாரம் எல்லாம் மாறிப் போனாலும், தலைமுறைகளைக் கடந்தும் மாறாதவை அன்னையின் அன்பும் தந்தையின் பாசமும்தான். அந்தத் தூய்மையான அன்பிலும் கலப்படமில்லாத பாசத்திலும் திளைத்த பிள்ளைகள், தங்கள் பெற்றோரைக் கொண்டாட வேண்டாமா? விழா எடுத்து மகிழ வேண்டாமா? பெற்றோரைக் கொண்டாடப் பிள்ளைகளுக்குக் காரணம் தேவையில்லை என்றாலும், சமூகம் சில காரணங்களைக் கண்டுபிடித்து வைத்திருக்கிறது. மணி விழா, முத்து விழா, வைர விழா, அறுபதாண்டு விழா, எண்பதாண்டு விழா என, ஏதாவது ஒரு பெயரில் விழா எடுக்கலாம். பெயர் முக்கியமல்ல; பெற்றோரைப் போற்றுவதே முக்கியம்.

அடுத்த பிறவியிலும் இவர்களுக்கே மகனாகவோ, மகளாகவோ பிறக்க வேண்டும் என்று மனமுருகி வேண்ட வேண்டும். பெற்றோரின் மறைவுக்குப் பிறகு அவர்களுக்கு நினைவு நாள் கடைப்பிடிப்பது இவற்றையெல்லாம் விட, பெற்றோர் வாழும் போதே அவர்களைப் போற்றிக் கொண்டாட வேண்டும். காரணம், பெற்றோரைப் போற்றிக் கொண்டாடுவோரே நிறைவான வாழ்க்கை வாழ்ந்தவராவர்.

நம்மில் எத்தனை பேர் நம்முடைய பிறந்த நாள், திருமண நாள் மற்றும் பண்டிகை நாள்களில் நமது பெற்றோரின் கால்களில் விழுந்து ஆசி பெற்றிருக்கிறோம்? கட்சித் தலைவர்கள், திரைப்பட நடிகர்களின் கால்களில் கூச்சப்படாமல் விழுபவர்கள் கூட, பெற்றோர் காலில் விழுவதற்குக் கூச்சப்படுகிறார்கள் அல்லது தயங்குகிறார்கள்.

ஒரு கையை நீட்டி எந்தப் பொருள்களும் கொடுக்கக் கூடாது. அந்தக் கையை மறு கையால் பிடித்துக் கொண்டே கொடுக்க வேண்டும். பெரியவர்கள் முன்பாக கால் மேல் கால் போட்டபடியோ, கால் ஆட்டியபடியோ உட்காரக் கூடாது.

பிறந்த நாள், பண்டிகைக் காலங்களில் பெற்றோர் காலில் விழுந்து ஆசி வாங்க வேண்டும். கோயிலுக்குப் போகும் போதும் பெரியவர்களைப் பார்க்கப் போகும்போதும் வெறுங்கையுடன் போகக் கூடாது. இவற்றையெல்லாம் பின்பற்றிப் பார்த்தால்தான் அருமை புரியும். தமிழர் பண்பாடே இப்படி என்றால் தமிழர்கள் பெற்றோரைப் பராமரிக்கும் விதம் எப்படி இருக்க வேண்டும்.

இது போன்ற நல்ல விஷயங்களையெல்லாம் எடுத்துச் சொல்லி நம்மை வாழ்க்கையில் வழி நடத்த அனுபவம் மிக்க நமது பெற்றோரால் மட்டுமே முடியும். அப்படிப்பட்ட பெற்றோரைப் போற்றி வாழ்ந்தால் நம் வாழ்க்கை இனிதாக அமையும் என்பதில் சிறிதும் ஐயமில்லை!

Message For the Day…” Need of the Hour is Harmony of Religions and Faith…”

NatarajanLeave a comment

Since many separate religions have spread worldwide, they have lost fraternal feelings and thereby have suffered in validity. There is an urgent need for harmony. The principle of harmonizing is the very heart of all religions and faiths. The principles of coordination and reconciliation must be expanded and expounded. Though religions have separate names and distinct doctrines, in essence, all are one emphasising a common core. The experience and wisdom of great seers who have unveiled the mystery of the cosmos and their feelings of universal love are not appreciated, accepted, and respected. The same God is extolled and adored in various names through varied ceremonial rituals. In every age, in every race, God sent prophets to establish peace and goodwill. All great people are images of God. They form one single caste in the realm of God; they belong to one nation, the Divine Fellowship.

” Stories Going Round in Media about Germanwings Flight 9525….”

NatarajanLeave a comment

Airbus A320 Germanwings D-AIPX crashed

Germanwings flight 9525 flying from Barcelona, Spain to Düsseldorf, Germany, crashed in the Alps on Tuesday morning near the town of Seyne-les-Alps, France. All 150 passengers and crew on board the airliner were killed. French authorities point to the apparently intentional downing of the flight by its 28 year-old co-pilot Andreas Lubitz as the most likely cause of the crash.

Here’s everything we know about the crash of Germanwings flight 9525:

  • Founded in 2002, Germanwings is a low-cost subsidiary of Germany’s Lufthansa.
  • The Airbus A320 — registration number D-AIPX — was delivered to Lufthansa on June 2, 1991.
  • D-AIPX joined the Germanwings fleet in 2014
  • According to a statement from Airbus, the Germanwings jet had accumulated 58,300 flight hours on 46,700 flights and was powered by a pair of General Electric/SNECMA CFM-56 5A1
  • turbofan engines.
  • The Airbus had received maintenance attention in Düsseldorf the day before the crash.
  • According to the airline, the jet took off with a clean bill of health.

  • Weather conditions during the flight were clear.
  • The plane dropped to a cruising altitude of just 5,000 feet from 38,000 feet in about 8 minutes.
  • Contact between the aeroplane and French radar and flight controllers was lost at 10:53 a.m. local time at an altitude of about 6,000 feet.
  • A witness nearby told the Associated Press, “The noise I heard was long — like 8 seconds — as if the plane was going more slowly than a military plane speed. There was another long noise after about 30 seconds.”

  • 150 passengers and crew were killed in the crash; 72 onboard were from Germany and between 35-49 from Spain.
  • This includes 16 students and two teachers from a small town in Germany.
  • Three Americans were also on the ill-fated flight — including a mother and her adult daughter from Virginia.
  • The Airbus’ cockpit voice recorder, one of the two “black boxes” on board the jet has been recovered.
  • Although damaged, investigators were able to retrieve data from the recorder.
  • Only the outer casing of the Airbus’ second “black box,” — the flight data recorder — has been found.
  • The memory card containing the recorded information from the FDR became separated from its casing by the crash and was still missing.

  • According to the lead prosecutor in the investigation, about 30 minutes into the flight, co-pilot Lubitz locked the captain out of the cockpit after the captain left the flight deck.
  • Lubitz then put the jet into a steep, unapproved dive by instructing the Airbus’ autopilot system to descend to just 100 feet.
  • The captain reportedly made numerous attempts to regain entry but, according to investigators, the co-pilot made no attempt to answer the requests.
  • The captain even, reportedly, used an ax to try to break down the door.

  • Prosecutors said Lubitz did not make any distress calls during the 8-minute-long descent, nor did he answer any of the distress calls made be air traffic control.
  • During the descent, the co-pilot’s breathing remained normal.
  • Lubitz joined Germanwings in September, 2013 after graduating from Lufthansa’s flight training school. He had just 630 hours of experience at the time of the crash.
  • According to Lufthansa CEO Carsten Spohr, Lubitz took a months-long leave of absence from training at one point. Due to Germany’s medical privacy laws, the reason for the hiatus is unknown.
  • A source familiar with the investigation told the Wall Street Journal that Lubitz was in treatment for depression, but hid the treatment from his employers at Lufthansa.
  • The source also told the Journal that there is no evidence to suggest the co-pilot was taking any “mind-altering medications” at the time of the incident.
  • Earlier on Friday, prosecutors said a doctor’s note stating that Lubitz was unfit to fly on the day of the crash was found at the co-pilot’s residence in Düsseldorf, Germany.
  • According to the Wall Street Journal, that note is reportedly from the pilot’s psychiatrist.
  • A second note was also found in pieces at the residence, but its contents are unclear.
  • In a statement, Germanwings said Lubitz had not submitted any of the notes to the airline.
  • Lubitz apparently ignored his doctor’s advice and reported for duty as scheduled.

Airports’ Three Letter Nick Names…!!!….Story Behind the Codes…!!!

Natarajan1 Comment

When booking flights online, knowing your local airport’s code can come in handy.

There’s 3,000 miles’ difference between BUR (Burbank, California) and BTV (Burlington, Vermont). And you probably don’t want to end up in Venezuela just in time for Oktoberfest (Munich’s code is MUC, not MUN).

Those enigmatic three-letter signifiers that help you search for flights on Kayak or Priceline are doled out by the

International  Transport Association, and distinguish airports from one another. But the average traveler may not know where those letters come from.

Arizona-based designer Lynn Fisher, who travels a lot and loves trivia, became interested in the rationale behind those IATA codes a few years ago but couldn’t find one place online that explained them all. She and developer Nick Crohn decided to create a website that did just that.

The result, airportcod.es, pairs a “unique aspect of each airport, whether it be architecture, art, or a great view,” with its three-letter code and the origin story behind it. Some, like Fisher and Crohn’s local airport, PHX, are straightforward; others are more obscure or random.

Visit their website to browse codes from more than 200 airports around the world. Here’s a sample:

ARN
Stockholm Arlanda Airport, Stockholm
Stockholm’s airport is named ARlaNda, a made-up word combining Arland, another name for the nearby parish of Ärlinghundra, and landa, the Swedish verb meaning “to land.”

CDG
Paris Charles de Gaulle Airport, Paris
Renamed and officially opened in 1974, France’s largest airport is named after Charles De Gaulle, former president and founder of the French Fifth Republic.

CGK
Soekarno–Hatta International Airport, Jakarta, Indonesia
Soekarno–Hatta International serves the capital city of Jakarta and honors Indonesia’s first president and first vice president. It receives its code from the CenGKareng district in the city of Tangerang, where it’s located.

CVG
Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky International Airport, Cincinnati
Serving the greater Cincinnati metro area, Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky’s airport code comes from the nearby city of CoVinGton.

DXB
Dubai International Airport, Dubai, United Arab Emirates
When Dubai International opened in 1960, the airport code DUB was already in use by Dublin. DuBai subbed an X for the U, making its unique airport code of DXB.

EWR
Liberty International Airport, Newark, New Jersey
When airport codes switched from two letters to three, the Navy reserved all codes starting with N. NEWaRk, then, used the other letters in its name to make EWR.

IAD
Dulles International Airport, Washington, D.C.
Dulles International Airport’s three-letter code was once DIA. When handwritten, it was often misread as DCA, another Washington airport. It was reversed to IAD to avoid confusion.

LAX
Los Angeles International Airport, Los Angeles
Before the 1930s, airports had two-letter codes. When codes switched to three letters, many added the letter X to the end. LA (Los Angeles) became LAX. (See also:PDX.)

LHR
London Heathrow Airport, London
London HeathRow takes its name from Heathrow, a hamlet northwest of where the then-small airfield was started in 1929.

OGG
Kahului Airport, Kahului, Hawaii
Kahului Airport is named after its home city, but its airport code honors Hawaiian-born pilot Bertram J. HOGG.

ORD
O’Hare International Airport, Chicago
Before the airport was renamed after Medal of Honor recipient Edward O’Hare in 1949, it was known as ORcharD Field Airport.

SFO
San Francisco International Airport, San Francisco
When codes switched to three letters from two, many added the letter X to the end.San FranciscO instead used its last letter O.

SUX
Sioux Gateway Airport, Sioux City, Iowa
SioUX City petitioned twice to have its airport code, SUX, changed. With no great alternatives, it stuck with it and now uses the slogan “Fly SUX.”

UIO
Mariscal Sucre International Airport, Quito, Ecuador
Mariscal Sucre International is named after Antonio José de Sucre, who fought for the independence of Quito, in what is now Ecuador. Because the Federal Communications Commission reserved codes starting with Q, it opted for other letters from its home city of QUItO.

YYZ
Pearson International Airport, Toronto
Airport codes starting with Y designate Canadian airports. The YZ isn’t as clear but is said to be the old railway station code for Malton, an area west of Toronto where the airport is located.

For more airport codes and their origin stories, visit airportcod.es.

” Saina Nehwal …World No 1 in the Badminton Rankings Now…”

NatarajanLeave a comment

Saina Nehwal, Best in the World, Made in India

Saina Nehwal became the World No. 1 in the badminton rankings with the defeat of Carolina Marin to Ratchanok Intanon in the India Open semifinal. She is the first Indian woman badminton player to attain the feat.

Saina Nehwal 2015 India Open

A World No. 1 badminton player from India?

Ten years ago, anyone who followed Indian badminton even remotely would’ve laughed it off. Yes, India did produce a World No. 1 in Prakash Padukone. Way back in 1980. Yes, another Indian did win the All England title after him. Pullela Gopi Chand in 2001. A feat that got overshadowed by Harbhajan Singh’s hat-trick against Australia at the Eden Gardens in Kolkata on the very same day. But nothing as impactful, impressive or even promising in several years after that. (Saina Celebrates World No. 1 Rank with Crushing Win over Hashimoto)

But sport has its own way of scripting history. A promising youngster from Hisar in Haryana, who had badminton players for parents, Saina Nehwal shifted to Hyderabad midway through her school years. Waking up before anyone else in her class to make it to badminton training to Govardhan Reddy, one of her initial coaches, often falling off to sleep on her father’s scooter on her way back, but still managing to maintain her grades in school. That defined Saina’s first few years, as she started playing junior nationals and satellite tournaments across the country. (Want to be the Best, Says Saina Nehwal)

He’d spent all his savings on his daughter’s training, getting her shoes and racquets, but Dr Harvir Singh, an agricultural scientist, knew it would all be worth it. In 2006, Saina finished as a runner up in the Junior World Championships. But it was only in 2008, when she became the first Indian woman to reach the quarter final of the Olympics, is when the world sat up and took notice of Saina Nehwal. When she lost to Indonesia’s Maria Kristin Yulianti in 3 games in the quarter finals in Beijing, many told Saina this was her best shot at glory and fame, and she’d lost it. Saina still remembers those remarks.

But she knew, as did another man, that this was just the start. In Pullela Gopichand, Saina found the perfect mentor. And in Saina, Gopi found the ward who was forever willing to listen to him, to work as hard as he wanted her to, and follow the path he had chalked out for her future as a world class badminton player.

Under Gopi’s tutelage, Saina blossomed. The Super Series titles started rolling in, starting with the one in Indonesia in 2009. By the next year, Saina had added four more Super Series title to her kitty, and a Commonwealth Games gold and a career high world ranking of 2 to go with that.

Saina Nehwal India Open SF

More girls around the country started picking up racquets, badminton tournaments started getting televised regularly, and in what is extremely rare for sportspersons in India who are not cricketers, Saina even had endorsements. Yes, she was truly a game-changer.

But there was no time to stand and stare. An Olympic medal had to be won. And win she did in London in 2012, a bronze albeit. A brief split with her coach was pointless, as she later admitted.

“I realised after leaving Gopi Sir that I could not move ahead without his help. So I came back to him, I don’t know what had happened, but I want to say sorry now. This medal is my gift to him,” Saina said after the Olympics.

The episode would return to haunt her in a couple of years though. The two years following her Olympic bronze saw Saina go through a very lean patch. She was losing to lower ranked players regularly, and was sluggish on court. Some or the other injury bothered her throughout. And it was during this time that a young and a very hungry PV Sindhu, also a protege; of Gopichand, was snapping at her heels. It didn’t take the media too long to take their knives out, and start writing ‘The End’ to the career of a girls who had several firsts in Indian badminton.

They say that the mind can accommodate either worries, or faith. Not both. Saina chose the latter. And she had the guts to go with that.

In the summer of 2014, she took the decision of changing coaches in order to improve her game, and try something new. Indian badminton’s most successful partnership was thus brought to an end, as Saina chose Vimal Kumar, former national champion and coach to guide and help her out. It was a bold decision in Saina’s words, a risk that she was taking.

And boy did it pay off. In a new training environment with new players, and under a coach she was exchanging more ideas with, Saina was back. And on top of her game. By the end of the year, India’s shuttle queen had won the China Open Super Series, crawled back from 9th in the beginning of the year to 3rd by the end of it, in the world rankings.

Now on top of the world rankings, the first non-Chinese to do so since Tine Baun in 2010, Saina has shown yet again, that she is still the best India has, and the rest have a lot of catching up to do.

Saina has learnt and honed her talent right here in India, under an Indian coach, and made things work for her, just on the basis of sheer hard work and dedication. Yes, it’s come at a price. Hers is almost a monk-like life with no time or space for anything barring badminton.

But that’s how the best in the world get there, isn’t it?

Morning after the Zoo's New Year's Party‏ 004

 

As we progress into 2015, I want to thank you for
your educational e-mails over the past year. I am
totally screwed up now and have little chance of recovery.

I can no longer open a bathroom door without  using
a paper towel, nor let the waitress put lemon slices in
my ice water without worrying about the bacteria on
the lemon  peel.

I can’t sit down on a hotel bedspread because I  can
only imagine what has happened on it since it was last washed.

Eating a little snack sends me on a guilt trip because I
can only imagine how many gallons of trans fats I have
consumed over the years.

I can’t touch any woman’s  handbag for fear she has placed
it on the floor of a public  toilet.

I must send my special thanks for the email about rat poo
in the glue on envelopes because I now have to use a wet
sponge with every envelope that needs  sealing.

ALSO,now I have to scrub the top of every can I open for
the same reason.

I can’t use cancer-causing deodorants even though I smell
like a water buffalo on a hot  day.

Thanks to you I have learned that my prayers only get answered
if I forward an e-mail to seven of my friends and make a wish
within five minutes.

Because of your concern, I no longer drink Coca Cola because
it can remove toilet  stains.

I no longer buy fuel without taking someone  along to watch the car,
so a serial killer doesn’t crawl in my back seat when I’m filling up.

I no longer use  Cling Wrap in the microwave because it causes
seven different types of cancer.

And thanks for letting me know I can’t boil a cup of water
in the microwave anymore because it will blow up in my face,
disfiguring me for life.

I no longer go to  the cinema because I could be pricked with a
needle infected with AIDS when I sit down.

I no longer go to shopping  centers because someone will drug
me with a perfume sample and rob me..

And I no longer answer the phone because someone will ask
me to dial a number for which I will get a  huge phone bill with
calls to Jamaica, Uganda, Singapore and Uzbekistan.

And thanks to your great advice I can’t ever pick up a
dime coin dropped in the car park X-Spam-Subject: YES X-Spam-Subject: YES because it was  probably
placed there by a sex molester waiting to grab me as I bend over.


I can’t do any gardening, because I’m afraid I’ll get bitten
by the Violin Spider and my hand will fall off.


Now…….If you don’t send this e-mail to at least 144,000 people in
the next 70 minutes, a large dove with diarrhea will land
on your head at 5:00 p.m. tomorrow afternoon, and the
fleas  from 120 camels will infest your back, causing you
to grow a hairy  hump. I know this will occur because it
actually happened to a  friend of my next door neighbor’s
ex mother-in-law’s second  husband’s cousin’s best friend’s
beautician!  JUST  KIDDING….!

Oh, and by the way…

A German scientist from Argentina, after a lengthy  study,
has discovered that people with insufficient brain activity read their e-mails with their hand on the mouse.

Don’t  bother taking it off now, it’s too late.

P. S. I now keep my  toothbrush in the living room, because
I was told by e-mail that  water splashes over 6 ft. out 


NOW YOU HAVE YOURSELF A VERY GOOD DAY.

Message For the Day…” ‘I Know All’ attitude will Pull You Down…”

Natarajan1 Comment

If the I-consciousness in you, produces the pride “I know all”, a fall is inevitable; the delusion causes death. The secret of salvation lies in the realisation of this danger. Rebirth is inevitable if this danger is not averted. Immerse yourself in spiritual practices, then the world and its worries will not affect you. It is only when you are far from this truth that you suffer, feel pain, and experience travail. At a distance from the bazaar, one hears only a huge indistinct uproar. But as you approach it, you can clearly distinguish the separate bargainings. So too, till you get to know the reality of the Supreme, you are overpowered and stunned by the uproar of the world; but once you enter deep into the realm of spiritual endeavour, everything becomes clear and the knowledge of the reality awakens within you. Until then, you will swirl in the meaningless noise of argumentation, disputation, and exhibitionist flamboyance.
