Story Behind Holi Celebration!!!!!!!!!!

There was once a king by the named Hiranyakashyap who won the kingdom of earth. He commanded everybody in his kingdom to worship only him. But to his great disappointment, his son, Prahlad became an ardent devotee of Lord Naarayana and refused to worship his father.

Hiranyakashyap tried several ways to kill his son Prahlad but Lord Vishnu saved him every time. Finally, Hiranyakashyap asked her daughter, Holika to enter a blazing fire with Prahlad in her lap.

Holi Celebration!!!

Treacherously, Holika coaxed young Prahlad to sit in her lap and she herself took her seat in a blazing fire. The legend has it that Holika had to pay the price of her sinister desire by her life. Holika was not aware that the boon worked only when she entered the fire alone. 

Prahlad, who kept chanting the name of Lord Naarayana all this while, came out unharmed, as the lord blessed him for his extreme devotion.
 
Thus, Holi derives its name from Holika. And, is celebrated as a festival of victory of good over evil. 

Holi is also celebrated as the triumph of a devotee. As the legend depicts that anybody, howsoever strong, cannot harm a true devotee. And, those who dare torture a true devotee of god shall be reduced to ashes.

Even today, people enact the scene of 'Holika's burning to ashes' every year to mark the victory of good over evil. 

In several states of Northern India, effigies of Holika are burnt in the huge bonfires that are lit. There is even a practice of hurling cow dungs into the fire and shouting obscenities at it as if at Holika. Then everywhere one hears shouts of 'Holi-hai! Holi-hai!'.

Further, on the last day of Holi, people take a little fire from the bonfire to their homes. It is believed that by following this custom their homes will be rendered pure and their bodies will be free from disease.


Happy Holi everyone!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Trust???????????

Its a big question now a days! that is Trust??, Mercy??, Love??

Trust? Whom? How much? Worthy trust them? Day by day life teaches a lesson. But that adds to our experience. Can trust an enemy than a close person not everyone!

Mercy? Can't expect from non trusted person! If you are mercy on them, they cheats!!

Love? Can't expect from person who doesn't have mercy! If you are love on them, they cheats!!

There is old movie in Tamil with 7 proverbs. The movies is divided into 7 parts and each parts states that story explain the proverbs. Today i remember that movie when it comes to live.

Live as the life goes on or else life will be like a broken peaces of glass!!!!!!!!!!!!

On my new Camera......

I just gave try with my new camera..............

On Cauvery river bank.............

Just a try..................

Yet more to release.......................

Life changes............

I have entered into new atmosphere. When I contacted the friend in the old circumstance is not responding. I don’t the exact reason that is my thought or they don’t want to continue the relation and break it or they might be busy with their work or the time I contact them is not the right time or they don’t like.

Hope might be the relation had with them might be like dust or vapour in the breeze. Really miss few of them in my life. Don’t know will, get the same relation with them or not. Or may I get the new entry like them (wonderful people) in my life. We should learn more things from them, I learnt a lot (you may not but I have to). Because of them my way of living changed. They were like medicine for the wound. Before I meet them, it was highly polluted and not clear. After few years with them, pollution was reduced. Hats off to them!!! Thanks to them. In any way, hurt you sorry for it!(endha adiyenai manikavum)

They are like right medication for right time for me. I don’t know what to say, but I hardly like them a lot. If you get good friends, keep them fresh and notarized.

Ravana!! Not upto the mark!!

Went to PVR Chennai located in SKYwalk for the first time to watch movie named Ravana . The Screen looks good but the sound effects are not up the level which i have expected.

Movie hero by Vikram(Ravanan) and heroin by Iswarya(Miss world). This movie is by Mani Rathinam (Great man behind the many hit movies). I felt story is not clear and not presented in clear way. It was like bits and pieces.

Can watch this movie once. But few songs are nice!!!!!!!!!

This is my feel and not written in the intension to hurt any one.
