கண்ணதாசன் சொன்ன கதை

(இன்றைய அரசியல் சூழலுக்கு ஏற்ற கதை)

எமதர்மன் சித்திரகுப்தனிடம் ‘இனிமேல் சாகிறவர்களின் நாக்கை மட்டும் தனியாக அறுத்துக் கொண்டு வந்து விடு’’ என்று சொன்னான்.

அது போல் சுமார் ஆயிரம் நாக்குகளை அவன் அறுத்துக் கொண்டு வந்தான்.

அறுத்த பின்னாலும் சில நாக்குகள் துடித்துக்கொண்டு கிடந்தன. சில நாக்குகள் மரத்துப் போய் இரு கூராகப் பிளந்து கிடந்தன.

‘’மரத்துப் போய் இரட்டையாகக் கிடக்கும் நாக்குகளெல்லாம் யாருடயவை?’’ என்று கேட்டான் எமதர்மன்.

‘இரட்டையாகக் கிடக்கும் நாக்குகளெல்லாம் ஆளும் கடசிக்காரர்களுடைய நாக்குகள் பிரபு! துடித்துக்கொண்டிருக்கும் நாக்குகளெல்லாம் எதிர்க்கட்சிக்காரர்களுடைய நாக்குகள் பிரபு!’ என்றான் சித்திரகுப்தன்.

‘’ஒரு உணர்ச்சியும் இல்லாத மற்ற நாக்குகள்?’’ என்று கேட்டான் எமன்.

‘’அவர்களுக்கு ஓட்டுப போட்டவர்களுடைய நாக்குகள்’ என்று அமைதியாகச் சொன்னான் சித்திரகுப்தன்

How heavy is this glass of water?

How heavy is this glass of water?

 A psychologist walked around a room while teaching stress management to an audience. As she raised a glass of water, everyone expected they'd be asked the "half empty or half full" question. Instead, with a smile on her face, she inquired: "How heavy is this glass of water?"


Answers called out ranged from 8 oz. to 20 oz.

She replied, "The absolute weight doesn't matter. It depends on how long I hold it. If I hold it for a minute, it's not a problem. If I hold it for an hour, I'll have an ache in my arm. If I hold it for a day, my arm will feel numb and paralyzed. In each case, the weight of the glass doesn't change, but the longer I hold it, the heavier it becomes." She continued, "The stresses and worries in life are like that glass of water. Think about them for a while and nothing happens. Think about them a bit longer and they begin to hurt. And if you think about them all day long, you will feel paralyzed – incapable of doing anything."

It’s important to remember to let go of your stresses. As early in the evening as you can, put all your burdens down. Don't carry them through the evening and into the night. Remember to put the glass down!

"Shila Ghosh" : A lady 83 years old who lives at pali in West Bengal. Every evening
she comes from Pali to kolkata to sell the fries.One thing you don't know for sure is that she comes there all the way from Bally each day to sell a some 30 packets of papads @ Rs. 10/packetThe pedestrians out of respect buy the fries from her.After lung cancer took away her only son from her 5 years back,to make ends meet she works.Her nephew aged 30 works as a mover on meagre wages in pali.When asked if she has a problem in travelling,she weakly smile ans says“No,the bus gets me here and my health is not that bad”.
She earns 400 rupees per day but still it is less for her family of four.Circumstances could have easily forced her to beg but her dignity and respect is everything for her,she would work till the end of her life rather than beg on the streets.When we go on complaining she has chose to solve her problems on her own for as they say God helps them those who help themselves. We don't hope to achieve anything by doing this. We just hope that everyone of us who are privileged enough to lead a better life extend their helping hands to the thousands of Shila Ghosh around us.

An American organisation honored him with the ‘Man of the Millennium’ award. He received a sum of Rs 30 crores as part of this award which he distributed entirely for the needy as usual.

Moved by his passion to help others, Super Star Rajinikanth adopted him as his father. He still stays as a bachelor and dedicated his entire life for serving the society.

We all should be PROUD. UNO has honored him but we don't even know that such a personality exist amongst us.

Aamir Khan is on Time magazine's list of 100 Most Influential People of 2013

Actor Aamir Khan has made Time magazine's list of 100 Most Influential People of 2013. He created an international presence with his 2012 TV series Satyamev Jayate, is named as a "pioneer" on the list.
The talk show delved deeper into social ills like female foeticide, rape and medical malpractices, which made a great impact across the country.  

The Time 100 list also includes Barack Obama, Pope Francis, Yahoo CEO Marissa Mayer, Jay-Z ,Sheryl Sandberg, Malala Yousafzai, Aung San Suu Kyi, Michelle Obama, Daniel Day-Lewis, Justin Timberlake ,Kate Middleton, Jennifer Lawrence and Steven Spielberg. 

Other Indians to make it to the list include Finance Minister P Chidambaram who has been listed as a Titan and Delhi based human-rights lawyer Vrinda Grover, one of the leading voices calling for change after the brutal gang-rape of a paramedical student on board a Delhi bus, who has been listed as a Pioneer.

 The publication has got celebrities to profile the ‘chosen’ ones, and Aamir has been profiled by none other than ‘The Mozart of Madras’, AR Rahman. 

Rahman writes, “His movies are commercial successes — Lagaan was nominated for an Academy Award — but they also display a sense of social responsibility: they tackle important themes, like poverty and education.

“His TV show, Satyamev Jayate, is part journalism and part talk show, and it confronts India’s deepest social ills, from sexual abuse to caste discrimination. He uses his gifts as a charmer to give his audience the most bitter medicine. Hypnotized, we take it without complaint.

This is Aamir's second TIME cover. He had earlier been the subject of a cover story 'Khan Quest' in the Asian edition of the magazine in 2012.

world’s best-preservedbodies

 

In 2009, a National Geographic documentary had an MRI performed on the body, producing the first 3D images of Rosalia both inside and out. The MRI revealed all of her organs perfectly intact. It also showed her arms at her sides. Nobody has ever looked underneath the blanket that covers Rosalia's body since she was sealed inside her coffin 90 years ago.

 A 2-year-old who died in Italy in 1920 has been perfectly preserved to this day. Rosalia Lombardo, who died over 90 years ago from pneumonia, still just looks like she’s sleeping. She resides in a glass coffin in Capuchin Catacombs in Palermo,Italy. As one of the world’s best-preservedbodies,Rosalia Lombardo, was an Italian child who died of influenza. Rosalia's father, General Lombardo, was sorely grieved upon her death, so he approached Alfredo Salafia, a noted embalmer, to preserve her. she has been a consistent source of frustrations for embalmers and taxidermists for decades. Recently, anthropologists have uncovered the secret to her pristine preservation that her original embalmer took with him to the grave in 1933. As it turns out, Ms Lombardo was preserved with a combination of formalin, zinc salts, alcohol, salicylic acid, and glycerin. Formalin, to kill bacteria, salicylic acid to kill fungi, alcohol to dry the body out and mummify it, and glycerin to keep her from getting too dry. Embalmers don’t use zinc anymore, but that’s supposedly the key ingredient for Lombardo’s successful embalming.X-rays of the body show that even the organs are remarkably intact.one of the topics of a History Channel documentary in the 2000s. In it, x-ray equipment was brought to the catacombs and Rosalia's coffin was x-rayed. They discovered not only a skeletal structure but that her organs were still intact. Her brain was perfectly visible only having shrunk 50% due to the mummification process.

Google has developed a driverless car

This car is completely driverless. 

  It combines information from Goggle Street View with artificial intelligence software that communicates with a sensor on top of the car, which in turn speaks to the wheels and steering wheel to drive the car without any human interference. So far the car has clocked over 175,000 miles and had zero accidents. 

Google's driverless test cars have about $150,000 in equipment including a $70,000(laser radar) system.A Toyota Prius modified with Google's experimental driverless technology was licensed by the Nevada Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) in May 2012.The range finder mounted on the top is a Velodyne 64-beam laser.
