Happy Vishu

A very happy vishu to everyone out there....Here is a brief history of this festival so all u non-malayalees know what its all about.....And if u dont care well fuck u too then.....

Among the various Hindu festivals in Kerala, Vishu occupies a unique position in more than one respect. As symbol of the unostentatious Malayali, Vishu is free from the usual pomp and show and merry-making associated with other festivities. When almost all the festivals are connected in some way or other with religion, Vishu has nothing to do with it, though it is observed with religious solemnity. The first day for Medam is the unchangeable day of Vishu, whereas other festivals are determined according to the lunar asterisms on which they fall.

This day on which Vishu falls is the astronomical new year day and it is celebrated as such. The Malayalis believe that the fortunes for the year depend upon the nature of the object one sees first in the morning of Vishu Day. In order to fulfill the desire to look at the auspicious articles, they prepare a 'Kani' (anomen) on the previous day for seeing in the next morning. In circular bell-metal vessel known as 'Urule' some raw rice is put and over it a folded newly washed cloth is spread. A golden coloured cucumber, betel leaves, betel nuts, metal mirror, yellow flowers of Konna tree (cassia fistula), a Grandha (book of palm leaves) and a few gold coins are then placed over the cloth in the vessel arranged in a decorative fashion. Two coconut halves containing oil and lighted wicks are also placed in the vessel which illuminate the articles inside it. A bell-metal lamp filled with coconut oil is kept burning by the side of the vessel. Early in the morning of the Vishu at about 5 O'clock, one of the members of the house, usually the eldest female member gets up and lights the lamp and looks at' Kani' . She wakes up other member, one after another and the Kani is shown to everyone of them, taking particular care not to allow anyone to look by chance at other things. The vessel is taken to the bedside to the members or if it is too big to be carried, it is placed at one spot and the members are led there blind-folded. Even the cattle are not deprived of this privilege, as the Kani is taken to the cattle-shed and placed before them to have a look.

The next item is giving of handsel (Kaineetom). The eldest member of the family takes some silver coins and gives them to a junior member with some raw rice and Konna flower. This is repeated in the case of other members also and they in turn give such handsel to their juniors, relatives, servants etc. After this the children begin to fire crackers.

In the morning all talk bath and put on their forehead the marks of ashes and sandal paste and go to the temple for worship. After worship, they prepare a feast which is moderate and elegant.

In certain parts of Kerala, where the paddy cultivation commences after the monsoon, there is an observance called chal (Furrow) closely associated with Vishu . This is nothing but the auspicious commencement of the agricultural operations, in the new year.

Customs and manners may change from region to region, but the belief of the Malayali that his fortune for the year depends on the first thing he sees on the astronomical New Year day, is shared by the people of other countries also in different forms. For example, in European countries there is a belief that the first person who enters a house on the New Year day is supposed to have an influence on the inhabitants of that house for the whole year.

What has been offered to the readers in the foregoing paragraphs is only a resume of the fairs and festivals of Kerala, which we do not claim as exhaustive. Some of Kerala's fairs and festivals have a religious character and others secular. Some are rooted in hoary myths and other connected with man's attitude towards nature, fertility and harvest. Some of the festivals are of a universal nature. Whatever be the origin of the fairs and festivals of this land, whether religious or secular, whether some of them are celebrated within the entire country or even outside, Kerala has given them a colour and tenor of her own.

In spite of all their difficulties and tribulations, the people of Kerala have a joyous approach to life. This innocent joy is given vent in all the fairs and festivals of the land. This is also the secret of the different castes festivals of each other and contributing to a truly cosmopolitan life.

One week has passed

Yea, another boring week just passed....

I found out that some lecturers can be real assholes.... I mean fine i know they are busy people and all but refusing to help a student out by just teaching him a little is not too much to ask it is?

Its not like i am asking 4 tips or guidelines or anything of that sort......Sigh i guess we all cant be perfect can we?

Anyway i got 2 exams next week and it just hit me, if i dont pass these papers i may be stucked in this fucked up hell hole for another month....and that is just plain scary no matter how u wanna look at it.....

Wish me best of luck then....

The rest of the pics

No clue why i am doing this but hey just have a laugh at it aite.....

Unbelievable

U know the moment i finished my last post u wont believe what the heck happened....

Everything just went black.....i really figured i was in deep shit at that moment....and then outside my hse there was a huge truck with siren lights.......

Moments later i noticed the TNB sign on the truck and realised that it was just a blackout and no secret goverment agency was trying to get rid of me....but it was scary for a moment.....

CIA

by the way i forgot to mention....a few months back some american goverment related intelligence agency contacted me via my blog.....

Not entirely sure what it meant but if i disappear suddenly, i think u know what prob happened to me.....

Lunch at pizza hut

ROTFLMAO.......not bad pics at all....even though i am made to look a wee bit like a jackass.....but hey, i am a good natured guy most of the time and i am not alone looking like a jackass in these pics so they kinda even things out no?

I guess this was kinda our farewell lunch? Or maybe it was to celebrate a new beginning? Or that.......NO!!!!....must exercise self control.......I think i should exercise more self restraint, but that really isnt me now is it? Sigh......decisions decisions......

Guess i will leave those stories for another day.....maybe if u ask nicely i will tell but not today....One close call a month is all i can take..... I really wonder if it happened......

Damn....if anyone actually can figure out what i am talking about here....i would be fucking amazed.....

You know what since those pics are about lunch i prob should mention a wee bit more about that no? It was surprisingly pleasant and "entertaining"?? Well i guess dats the word to use..... was the 1st time i actually talked to some of my classmates and i realized what i may have missed out on..... oh well, i have neva really been known for my wise choices in life now have i, eh.........

WELL here is wishing everyone a happy life after DMP....Ciao

Post viva

Hi guys,

its been over 3 months since my last post. I know you all missed me.

Since then i have already sold my Iswara....sob...sob....

Still am carless and have yet to decide anything on that front yet

Finished my viva last week. That went surprisingly better than i would have expected it to go. Now all that is left is for me sit for my last 2 exams and then i can say i am done with this lame ass college. But destiny doesnt permit me to do this. I have an extra 2 weeks of OCA to attend so thats gotta get out of the way soon too.

Also after my exams, i have a whole roadshow to carry out and then i gonna start my job full time. Right now i am just keeping my fingers crossed that the end of the world doesnt occur right after my exams. Now dat will be a great story no?

Ok guess i gotta go and get ready 4 my final class and see my project supervisor 4 unknown reasons. Will post more often now. And perhaps leave some interesting stuff 4 u guys as well

Ciao
