I hope every one of you might have celebrated diwali in grand manner. Belated Diwali wishes to you all. Diwali is real joyous function and great moments to cherish through out the following days and months. The newly married couples (who got married prior to diwali that particular year) will have a special celebration during diwali and it is termed as 'Thalai (Head) Diwali in Tamil Nadu. As per me its only one year or that particular year diwali is the 'Thala Diwali for the newly married couples, but every year it is a 'THALAI Diwali for only one person in Tamil Nadu.. Can any one of you guess who it is...
It is none other than our Ultimate Star ''THALA' Ajith Kumar.!!!
Though traditionally Pongal is the main function of Tamil Nadu, yet Diwali holds equal or more importance with pongal festival. The pongal function went on well all these years and due to some sudden change to its fundamental by our great tamil nadu politicians, now there is a very big confusion among people when to celebrate pongal. Our politicians do not even spare the festivals..!!! ivlo Naal Nalla thaanaiyaa pongal festival poittu irundudu..!!! kelambitaangaiyaa.. kelambitangaiyaa.. Namma politicans edhaiyavadu summa ippadi kolluthi pottukiney irupaanga.. Namma makkulum semmaiya confuse agi, function celebrate panradaiyey vituduvaanga..!!!
There is only one major difference between Diwali and Pongal. I am sure many of you might have got the answer right now. The answer is ..... during Diwali we can eat pongal, but during Pongal we cannot eat Diwali..!!! idhu dhaan difference.
Along with this celebration mood and joyous moments, we take this opportunity to Wish and congratulate Mr. Venkatraman Ramakrishan for his Nobel Prize. Whole of our Country, in particular Tamil Nadu is so proud of Mr. Venkatraman. He has won this Nobel prize in Chemistry for his studies of the structure and function of the ribosomes.
Let us also wish and congratulate Mr. Barack Obama for his Nobel Peace Prize.It is great achievement by Mr. Venkatrama Ramakrishnan. Recently I read a very good article about Mr. Venkatraman in tamil magazine and it was simply superb. I shall try to brief a few words about that article and I feel every one should read and should know the greatness of Mr. Venkatraman.
It was early in the morning, Mr. Venkatraman recieved a phone call from a lady who works as secretary in the Nobel Prize foundation office and informed him about his Nobel Prize. Mr. Venkat could not blieve this phone call and thought that was some pranks played by some one. Then he rang up the top level people in the Nobel foundation and then it came as a surprise to him that he has won the Nobel Prize for sure. Being morning hours, his wife had been for a walk and there was no one for Mr.Venkat to share this joyous news. His sister and family along with his father were residing in USA, but since it was sleeping time for them, Mr. Venkat dropped the idea of calling and disturbing them with this news.
Later he took his bicycle ( he does not have car it seems.. even to commute to his work place he used bicycle only.. ) and then located his wife and shared this happy news. Though he was born in tamil nadu at his early age of 3 years he moved to karnataka as his father relocated there due to his employment. So all of the studies of Mr. Venkatraman was not in Tamil nadu, where as to his surprise and shock several people in Tamil Nadu started giving news in all the tamil magazines that they were the professor, teacher for Mr. Venkatraman. !!! idhu daan namma aalugangaloda speciality. Cycle gap la auto ootiduvaanga..!! Also several people started mailing to Mr. Venkatraman claiming as his relatives, though he has not even heard about their names in the past..!!!
Then the local television arranged for an interview with Mr.Venkatraman, where his lovely humbleness got revealed. This entire interview shows nothing other than the greatness of Mr. Venkatraman.
Let me narrate about that interview details of Mr. Venkatraman in the future posts..
Enna friends, why there is no Nobel Prize for Blog posts???? Can any one find out and inform me..

Kasi - change your name as thirunelveli... Your blogs are as sweet as thirunelveli alwa.. Wonderful msg with a gud msg
Dear Kasi
Your blog is very interesting. You have handled a variety of subjects and have tried to convey them in a lively manner.
You are very right in saying that politicians are laying their hands on everything under the sun. We, as simple citizens of this world, have to remain unshaken amidst any kind of chaos. Retaliation in this manner will elevate us for sure.
It is indeed an achievement to win a Nobel prize. What a memorable moment it would have been for both Obama and Venkatraman to have won such an esteemed award!
Nice blog! Have fun blogging!
Nanba Badri.. thanks a lot for your compliments..
'Ella pughazyum iraivanukay.'..
(atleast by statements we will have similarity of famous people like A.R.Rahman!!)
Dear Latha,
Thanks a lot for your comments.
I really enjoyed all your blogs. Amazing. But to be frank without dictionary found it difficult to get involved with your posts.. Great use of words.. Keep up the good work.
Latha,
I really don't know who you are...I am friend and relative of Kasi. I happened to go through your blog just now and I admire your interests and your command on English. It is really nice.
It is irresistable to tell you that you just look like Kasi's Sister in law, and your daughter resembles Kasi's Sister-in-law's daughter Shruthi.
May be you are Kasi's sister-in-law but look slightly different in this site.
Anyways..my commendations on your english and your thoughts.
Satish.
Dear Satish,
Thats nice to see a debu comment of yours in this area.
But this credit goes to Latha, for making you to comment here.
All these days you were reading my blogs like newspaper..!!! ???
Dear Kasi
Thanks again for going through my posts. Your blog is equally interesting because of the greater sense of humour involved in it.
Dear Satish
Thanks a lot for going through my blog. This is a great encouragement for me to pull along for another few more weeks :-)
I am eagerly looking forward to meeting Kasi's sister-in-law now to see who is the other lady resembling me. I think we have once met in Bahrain. Currently I am in Abu Dhabi but I spent a good 8 years in Bahrain. I remember having met you. Your name sounds so familiar and I guess you are that Satish whom I have in my mind.
Kasi, I think you too know me. I confirmed your identitiy with Badri. But when we met, neither of us knew that we could write!!
Dear Latha,
Yes, I too recognise you very well. Only my cousin brother Satish got confused with your identity.
Satish is in chennai and as per me you might not have seen him before.
Oh really? As you said, I got confused too. I know of a Satish who is known to Badri. I thought he is the Satish who might have commented on your blog.
