January marks festivities,celebrations - celebrated with gaiety and splendour. Pongal marks the high point of celebrations (for homely type), For fun there is always New Year celebs and parties.. For unity, national sentiment there is Republic day this year it marks 60th year of celebrations. Good news is AR Rahman awarded Padma Bhushan along with Ilaiyaraja. Mark the differences in the words they have expressed when the press interviewed them, ARR dedicated the award with his characteristic humility thanking god and then telling that he is happy that along with Ilaiyara he has been awarded. Ilaiyaraja expressed that it is for Recognition of his music.. Is it Proud or Ego?? - fans, listeners, connoiseurs and the common man to decide and give a verdict.
India made a clean sweep the Test Series played against Bangladesh in Bangaladesh, good beginning for year 2010. Excellent performance 2 centuries in 2 tests by 'GOD'. It made my day. Very good performance by Wall, but bangaladesh bowlers really rattled our batsmen - viru, gauti, rahul by bowling bouncers - injuring rahul and getting them out, the other two batsmen. By scoring 2 hundreds this series tendulkar scored 45 centuries and totally 90 centuries in International matches (45 One Day internationals also. Great series - already Neo Sports is billing as 'World Championship of Cricket' India / South Africa series, starting on 6th February 2010. 2 tests with 3 one-day series, going to be a rocking one.... It seems that Indian Cricket board is planning to organise about 12 tests this season, earliet it was only 2 tests with bangladesh, now SA is there... it is good that india is playing 12 tests even though the schedule is not announced, with the money that can be 'procured' by BCCI, it is very easy to organise tests or any matches with India.
In Politics Jyoti Basu, the grand patriarch of CPI(M)breathed his last at the age of 96. He could have become PM in 1996 - CPI(M) as usual dithered, doesn't want to take responsibility at a crucial juncture - typical of Communists. India lost a pragmatic leader - cutting across political lines all leaders made a visit to Kolkatta and paid the last respects. May his soul rest in peace, another great thing is as a true marxist , donated his Body to the Hospital and there was no funeral ceremonies as such.
Great disaster struck in Haiti - most vulnerable city in the world for natural disasters. Earchquake struck Haiti with 7.1 magnitude - nearly 1.50 Lakhs people died. Reliefs are pouring in from all quarters with US and UN leading the way. Still there are great stories like after 14 days they are still able to recover or pull out survivors from the rubble...
In tamilnadu, there was a controversy when a SI was accidently murdered (mistaken identity) this happens on the road,minutes before Cabinet ministers of TN making their way, even in fact we can tell that it happened in front of their eyes. After the incident , Ministers (that too health minister) watched him for 10 minutes or so, not arranging some kind of transport to take him to nearby hospital... It took 20minutes to arrange a transport to shift him to a nearby hospital.. Pathetic....
Spiritually, had a good day - 7th/8th january 2010 specifically, Ayyappan Pooja in Abu Dhabi ISC - indian social centre, Awake the whole night - made flower arrangements etc., volunteered the work like Vegetable cutting the previous night, participated in the Ganapathi Homam at 3.15 AM - had a whale of spiritual experience
Enjoyed thouroughl (Aaromale.... had some fun too... let's hope for the best!!)
Officially, got a good order in GCAA - General Civil Aviation Authority, - looks like a good start to this year. Hope it goes well and smoothly...
Signign it Off!! Have a nice days ahead!!!!! Aaromale
Can't sign off without telling people to listen to VTV - Vinnai Thedi Varivaya - great music by Mozart of Madras.. Jokingly, it is too much for Simbhu, what to do??? Gautham deserves that.... It has to be better than Harris isn't it??????
Enjoy!! Loka Samastha Sukino Bhavanthu....

First Post in 2010
Greetings!!!!!!!!! Happy New Year 2010.
First Post in 2010.
What a year 2009. Lots of Downs than UP's. But year 2009 has given to a lot of them rather Hard Lessons in the Life. Economic situation in India has done rather well when compared to 'Industrialised Countries', along with China, India is one of the few countries who shown growth in 2009. 7% growth is really great,when considering the situation all over. It is mostly spurred by the domestic growth.
America - capitalised economy, gave federal support to Banks, GM - nearly taking control. Now, the economic situation in Americal is looking northwards, hopefully Obama can deliver what he promised during the Elections.
India did exceedingly well in Cricket, reached the No.1 status in Test Rankings, truly a remarkable achievement. Indian Cricket has grown,with lots of young cricketers Gautam Gamhir, Virat Kohli, Suresh Raina, Dinesh Karthik.. doing well in international circuits,with Gautam Gambhir establishing himself in all forms of cricket. Viru, has done great this year, eventhough when compared to test cricket, his one day performances is not that great. Silently, Sachin has ruled the game of cricket for 20 years, that too in top level. Ishant Sharma, what a fall. Hopefully, will come back strongly. Dilshan, a changed cricketer, who is really a great treat to watch. Two good series are going on now, Aus Vs, Pak and SA vs Eng. In the second test Pak has outplayed Aussies , aussies allout for 127. Let.s see hos pak is doing in Batting and aussie in bowling. India, another Series in bangladesh - non-stop cricket.
What a fall for Tiger woods, fallen from the pinnacle to the rock bottom. 10 minutes of fight with his wife, has turned the whole world (or his mask has fallen down) upside down. Golf as game, has lost really a ambassador, hopefully Tiger will roar back. Golf does needs Tiger Woods. Comparitively, we should be proud of Sachin Tendulkar, who is really a shine in the armour, with nil controversies at top flight of International Media Glare. Really we should be proud.
Cinema: Nothing to be proud of in India. More bad films rather than good films. Avatar , 2012 are refreshing. Hollywood films dubbed in Indian Languages are doing rather good business rather than our home grown Bollywood, Tollywood, Sandalwood, Kollywood films... A R Rahman is the shining armour in the Industry as a whole. Grabbing Oscar Honours and nominated for Grammy's. 2010 - Endhiran, Ravan, eagerly awaited films by Shankar and Maniratnam respectively with Rajinikanth, Abhishek Bachan with Aish on both the films.
Politics: DMK winning all the elections, where they have written a rule on how to give money to voters and win the elections. COngress is doing rather unexpectedly well. Rahul Gandhi is really doing a great job organisation wise. Amma is still sleeping , not coming out of the comfort zone. IT is going to be tough year for Amma, to beat DMK, with the money power and clout they enjoy. Amma has to hit the road, be in touch with the Cadres and People. Hope and Pray Amma realises that. Congress in Delhi, as usual bungling in Telengana row. Hyderabad is burning, let's see what is the resolution to be in 5th Jan meeting. Rathore, after 19years, the old case is coming to haunt him. We should be proud or feel ashamed, is the moot point now. Atleast, Media is keeping the issue burning, sometimes, we can feel proud of our Democracy and Free Press. IN another spectrum there is Madhu Koda and Shibu Soren also. BJP is still trying to blame other people rather than blaming themselves. Still trying to find out reasons for the humbling defeat. There is also space for MNS, Shiv Sena etc.,
Good thing that has happened is the Fall of LTTE. Now, we should see how Lankan Government is rehabilitating and giving the requested freedom for the Eelam Tamils.
Al Qaeda is still going strong, and the latest proof is the failed attempt to blow up the detroit bound plane. Pak is burning with suicide bombings, israel continuing occupation of Gaza - in all that, common man is suffering. Repeated attempts to find a solution to the crisis in J&K is being foiled by Pak and they are facing the same medicine in their homeland.
Let's hope the new year ushers in Good Fortune for all.
