Pongal and the celebrations of India

Pongal is a festival which falls in mid January celebrated by Tamil peoples all over the world. We(Tamil people) celebrate Pongal to show our gratitude to the Nature for being an essential source of agriculture.

Usually the celebrations are for four days Bohi, Pongal, Maatu pongal, and Kaanum pongal. 

On Bohi we discard old things and focus on new things by cleaning and decorating our house. 

The second day is the main day of the festival we prepare Pongal(the dish) and we keep it in front of the Sun during sunrise to show our gratitude and then we share the dish with neighbors and relations. This day coincides with Makara Sankranthi which is a winter harvest festival celebrated throughout India. The day marks the start of sun’s six-month long journey northwards.

The third day is Maatu pongal. Maatu is the Tamil word for cow, on this day we show out gratitude to the cattle by worshiping it. Cattle helps us throughout the harvesting process and gives us the dairy products. To rejuvenate the cattle we clean it and we feed pongal to it and then we will play with it.

The last and fourth day is Kaanum pongal this is the day to thank our friends and relatives. To show our gratitude to them we share gifts, pongal dish, sugarcane and dresses. During Kaanum Pongal people visit relatives and friends to enjoy the festive season. In the cities this day is synonymous with people flocking to beaches and theme parks to have a day out with their families.

Jallikattu is a sport played with specially trained bulls as a part of Pongal celebrations. The trained young guys will play with specially trained bulls. Bull fighting was has been common among the ancient tribes who lived in the ‘Mullai’ geographical division of Tamil Nadu. In olden days the game was used by women to choose their husbands. Successful "matadors" were chosen as grooms. Nowadays we see it as a sport of bravery.

Pongal is celebrated by Tamil people and other Indian people also celebrate these days but in different names and they follow different procedures to celebrate.

Some of those are,

• Tamil Nadu - celebrated as Thai Pongal
• Andhra Pradesh, Bengal, Kerala, Bihar, Goa, Karnataka, Orissa, Madhya Pradesh, Maharashtra, Manipur, Uttar Pradesh - celebrated as Makara Sankranthi
• Gujarat and Rajasthan celebrated as Uttarayana
• Haryana, Himachal Pradesh and Punjab - celebrated as Lohri
• Assam - celebrated as Magh Bihu or Bhogali Bihu
• Nepal - celebrated as Maghe Sankranti or Makar Sankranti

Most of the Indian festivals are celebrated based on the dates in ancient Indian calender. Google it you can find many interesting things.

What ever the names and procedures be lets celebrate together...!!!

Unity and Diversity in Modern Indian Society

India is one of the countries which are famous for "Unity in Diversity". In our modern Indian society, are we losing our Unity? Is Diversity dominating our country? Some of the recent issues in India made this thought to root in us.

People from different religions live here in India but all are undoubtedly united by one sole feeling of ‘Being an Indian’ this is the main reason for unity. The diversity depends on the language, religion, region, culture and caste. As we all know these are the main part of our Indian History, we have studied it in our school days. As I belong to Modern Indian Society I'd like to see Unity and Diversity in my aspect.

Modern Indian society

One of the all time trending news in India is issue between two groups, two communities, two states, two religions and even between two people, yes everything starts as small. I live in south India many problems are there between each states the main reason for those problem is sharing some resource to others. Many people say that politicians are the main reason behind these problems but each and every citizen should accept the blame.

As I mentioned earlier everything starts as small for example if a child refuse to share his/her snakes to others that's the starting point. Dear younger generation of India, we have to teach our children about sharing what we have got, care for others, to respect people and how to handle our Indian society. Before doing so, we have to know about those things. I think these are the main qualities of survival of the fitness.

Nowadays we don't respect people instead of that we respect the things they have got. A single mobile phone sets the status of a person. We are forgetting people and running behind the things and teaching the same to the next generation. Let them to be close with people not with things. If your children wants to play with their friend let them go, don't buy them a video game to play. Then only they will know how to treat other people and to see our Indian society with respect.

Most of the festivals in our country are celebrated all over India in the same day may be some difference is there like, name of the festival and the procedure to celebrate. But the reason for celebrating is same. So Indians are very much related, no matter where they live and which region they belong to. If we do a research on that we can find how are we related and where are we separated. If you are a history student it will be easy for you.

So we should respect every other language, religion, people and city. No country in the world has so many language and religion. We should be proud of it. We should set a good example for our future generations.

Proud to be an Indian!!!

Love at it's peak

elderly love

I was in my orphanage on that day.
He came there and said "I promise you, I'll never let you feel alone".

That is the moment, where we are started. Now we have four Grand Children.
I know he will never break his promise.


I dedicate this to all lovers who wants to live their whole life with love.

55 fictionist

first crush

first crush

It's on your Birthday,
your appearance seemed like an angel.

I have seen you many times before,
but you are very pretty on that day.

You came to me to give the Chocolates.

I forgot to wish you,
Instead of that I stared at you.

After you have settled down on your place.

Some one came near to me,
then pulled my ear and said "why didn't you finish your Homework..?".

Then I realized, that I was in a punishment in kneeling position for the in-completion of the Homework.
And she is our teacher.

That one year we have studied in the same class,
I don't know what has happened to me in that few minutes.

But now...  ya it is the first crush.

Not only me, no one can ever forget their First Crush.

Sharp 12 Midnight...

Man near a Car

It seems sharp 12am.
Michal has came out from the Bar, walked towards his Car. Heard an agressive voice, suddenly turned around.
"Just a Slap with huge sound."
He opened his eyes, and can't realize is that dream or not. But he can still feel severe pain on his left ear, where he got slapped.





PS: Just a try on 55 fiction. Recently hosted a contest on 55 fiction prompt Ghost. So I've tried mine with the same prompt. Forgive me if I made a mistake. Otherwise tell your review or suggestion about it.

I still Love You. - My entry for the Get Published contest

This Story is about the Love between two College going students Sharvan and Shalini (real names are changed) and the incidents happened in their life. Here narrator is Sharvan's friend. 

As I mentioned earlier this is not just a story, this is an incident that has happened in the protagonists life.

I'm not going to tell that the protagonists are perfect, vice and blah blah blah... 

As like as everybody Sharvan is a simple college going guy, he has some dreams and ambitions, of course some good qualities but when there is a need. He stays as a paying guest in a well developed city but his native is a rural area.

On the other end Shalini is an average scoring student but hard worker, who doesn't know other than her family, friends and college. Her friends circle is very small as she lives in her native village, which is located in deep south India. 

The rest of the story is about how they've got introduced and how the love blossoms between them. Is they both carried it in good and bad situations. 

And how the Devilish moment has came in their lovely life and what is the reason behind it, and how they suffered. 

aggressive love 

Because of that devilish incident, I believe in 

"Situation and Society can make Angels to Daemons and Daemons to Angels"  

This is not a usual love story which sets the genuine characters to make the story better. But it has the other real things and real characters to make the story even better. And filled with real emotions, incidents and twists. 

This is my entry for the HarperCollins–IndiBlogger Get Published contest, which is run with inputs fromYashodhara Lal and HarperCollins India.
