Anand Nataraj

Yesterday myself and Bala were working from home as business was sluggish because of Pongal Holidays. Then i got a call from a Sales guy who said he will visit our office by 4 PM to explain his product.

Me & Bala reached office by 4 PM and then we got a call from that guy telling he cant make it for the day. Then Bala asked if we can goto Chennai Sangamam & without any hesitation i agreed because.

• Unable to hang out with Bala these days.
• I missed last 2 Chennai Sangamam & i badly wanted to make it.

Then after attending some unexpected visitors & after picking some calls we left to Natesan Park Sangamam. It was a great for ones eyes to see lights decoration on the entire stretch of Venkarnarayana Road.

We parked the car on a near by road as the stretch was blocked & immediately i started clicking snaps. We enjoyed some half a kilometer walk by seeing the decorations.

On entering the park we were greeted by the aroma of food stalls on the entrance. Then a common welcome from Usman Road shop owners who sponsored the show. We entered the park watching People applying mehandhi, listening to astrology (Kili Josiyam & Regai Josiyam) all these are traditional astrological methods.

Then we went to watch a Mahabarath play. To be frank i’ve never seen a theru koothu / stage plays in my life. I’ve read all about these in books which says these were Tamilian Culture. I was very happy to get a glimpse of things which i’ve just imagined and I felt i must be lucky to see these things in my life time.

Also i’ve read a lot about how these traditional entertainers once were burnt because of cinemas, modern day technology like TV, internet. They find it hard to continue there generational livelihood and how they come out to make a better living. Such events makes audiences feel happy and also the it gives an opportunity to these Kalainargal (Artists) to make a living.

There different types of entertainment showcased like;

• Oyilattam
• Kuyilattam
• Nerupuattam
• Stage Plays
• Street Plays
• Poi Kal Kudurai
• Thappata
• Veera Saagasangal

and more types of traditional performances. When audiences & reporters flooded for a photo with them. These artists who were ignored for long felt happy to oblige an pose for photos and videos. Also people encouraged then by shouting, whistling etc.

Talking about the crowd, there were people from all status of life and i saw a bunch of elite crowd. Also there were foreigners who flooded to the show.

Then there were stalls from 5 star hotels to home cooked stalls which offered delicious traditional foods which were a gift to ones taste buds.

I must thank Ms.Kanimozhi for initiating such a spectacular even and making it a grand success. My only wish is to see this as a non-political even thought this was envisioned by someone with political background. I wish even if government changes this event continues.

While returning i came out as a happy man & a proud tamilian to  watch our old traditions & entertainment medias.

Thagg Jyotishi astrology 's link Astrology is firmly rooted in the human psyche. Open the papers and you see entire sections and sometimes entire pages dedicated to this subject. It is disturbing to see that people not only read these things but they actually believe it and quote their horoscopes to explain themselves in certain situations. The astrologers are telling us what to do now! (Big Brother/Conspiracy theory, anyone!) Once I heard someone introducing herself to me with “Hi, I am so and so and I am very active and passionate about things since I am a “Fire” sign”. So what about those people, who are “Water” signs? Are they incapable of Passion? Does this mean you should never go to bed with any person who is a “Water” sign because the sex will be dull? Don’t you see the glaring holes in this pseudo-science already? Well, this is just the tip of the iceberg! Astrology came to be in those dark ages when the ancients trying to find meaning to their lives started studying the skies so as to see what the Gods were cooking up for them. They studied the stars and planets and their motion around each other. Doing so, it seems they predicted the future. And now we are supposed to believe this bullshit from aeons ago when they hadn’t even perfected science and technology to the extent that the telescope wasn’t invented yet! Sorry state of affairs, isn’t it? Also check out the absurd claim that a planet’s motion in some sector of the universe is supposed to affect your life in some way. Like the planet is supposed to play second fiddle to someone who is smaller than a bacteria/atom whichever, compared to the majestic scale of the planet and the universe in general! How have we become so arrogant that we dare to malign the magnificence of the universe with such petty things like health, marriage, sexual problems and which fucking house to buy and where? Astrology assumes that the Earth is at the centre of the universe. That is such complete bull-crap. There is no finite limit to the universe; so any point in space and time can be considered to be the centre of the universe, even far off clouds of gas which are given alpha-numerical names like UI23365O! The astrologers also do not have single shred of evidence to support the notion of astrology predicting what will happen next in your life. They shy away from controlled double-blind tests which are conducted to prove/disprove it. This is so because the astrologers or rather the money spinners do not have faith in the subject they have dedicated their life to. Some have even gone and claimed that they do not know the exact working of astrology. So gullible are we that we still follow this shit after having ample proof that it doesn’t work. Critics may scoff that after they read their horoscopes, they actually experience whatever that is written. This is just a trick of the mind. Suppose you read that today in the evening you will have a romantic time (meant to culminate in sex). Well if you have a wife/ girlfriend or even a one night stand and you happen to get lucky, it doesn’t mean that it was actually predicted. You are bound to do it one time or another. (If you can’t do it at all, you have my sincere sympathy!) It doesn’t require rocket science to solve this you know. And you might misrepresent this fact saying that you read it in your horoscope and it actually happened. Ditto with predictions that you are a caring person, you will have relationship issues but they will be solved in a few days and all that crap which is just so random that when these aforementioned events happen you feel like the horoscope predicted so. Also, the logical fallacy of these readings, are that, they are not your personal readings. There are millions of people who share star signs. So is it possible that, say, every “Libran” will have relationship trouble or will be extremely happy at the same moment as you. Simply impossible and outrageous! A test was actually conducted to check whether these predictions worked. Test subjects having varied star signs were given horoscopes which were said to be theirs but they were actually all Capricorn readings and no one knew that except the test organisers. Apparently all the test subjects said that the readings predicted the events in their life during those days. The only one to disagree was the lone Capricorn who had actually read her own Sign readings. Bizarre, don’t you think? This is because all the predictions are written in such a general way that everyone can identify with it. If you don’t believe me go to the papers and read the horoscope section except for the star sign to which you belong. You will see my point right away. I get peeved that newspapers which are supposed to be the heralds and guardians of the truth and the light (or so they claim to be! Carry on Dainik Jagran!) give so much importance to bullshit. I know many of us young people are sceptical of astrology but many people are still swayed by it. So please spread the word and shatter their delusions about this hocus-pocus crap before it come back to bite us in the arse.
