         கற்றலில் புதிய பரிமாணம்

மனித வாழ்வு பல்வேறு பரிணாம வளர்ச்சியை எட்டியுள்ளது. சாதகமும் பாதகமும் கலந்தே இருப்பினும் பல நிலைகளில் முன்னேற்றத்தை ஏற்படுத்தி வாழ்வின் தரத்தை உயர்த்தியுள்ளது. மறுக்க முடியாது தான். ஆனால் கல்வியும் திட்டங்களும் இன்னும் குண்டுசட்டிக்குள் குதிரை ஓட்டும் விதமாகவே இருக்கிறது. அதே டீச்சர், கரும்பலகைக்கு பதிலாக வெள்ளைப் பலகையும் மார்க்கரும், இன்னும் சில பள்ளிகளில் “ஸ்மார்ட் போர்டு” பேரைச் சொல்லி ஒரு ஐம்பதாயிரம் கொள்ளையும், ஆண்டு விழாக்களில் பள்ளியோடு இணைந்து பணியாற்றும் ஒரு நாங்கு பக்க அமைப்புகளுக்கு(speaking, writing, smart board, life skills, counselor, NEET coaching, JEE coaching) நன்றி பாரட்டியும், அப்போது ஆசிரியரின் வேலை தான் என்ன?! என்று நம்மைக் குழப்புகிறார்கள். அவர்களைப் பொறுத்தவரை மருத்துவம், பொறியியல், சமீபாமாக “சிஏ” இவற்றைத் தவிற வேறு எதுவும் சோறு போடாது. மகிழ்ச்சி.

பந்தயத்தில் குதிரைக்குக் கூட எதை நோக்கி ஓடுகிறோம் என்று தெரியும். நம் பள்ளி குதிரைகளுக்கு அதுவும் தெரியாது. சற்று நின்று பார்த்தால், மகா ஓரத்தில் ஒருவன் ஓடவும் முடியாமல் ஒதுங்கவும் முடியாமல் தினறுவான். நிஜத்தில் அவன் தறமையும் ஆர்வமும் வேறொன்றாக இருக்கும். நம் அனைவருக்குமே நம்மோடு படித்தவருள் “மக்கு” என கேலிக்கும் கிண்டலுக்கும் உட்படுத்தப்பட்டு ஓரங்கட்டப் பட்டவரை நினைவிருக்கும், ஏன் அந்த ஒருவர் நாமாகக் கூட இருந்திருக்கலாம். ஆனால் ஏன் என்று யோசித்திருக்க மாட்டோம் அதுதான் நம் பாட திட்டத்திலேயே இல்லையே.

“கற்றல் குறைபாடு (learning disability)” இதனைப் பற்றி ஏற்கனவே இரண்டு திரைப்படங்கள் (தாரே ஜமீன் பர், பசங்க 2) வெளியிடப்பட்டிருந்தாலும் பரவலான விழிப்புணர்வு ஏற்பட்டவில்லை என்பதே உண்மை. கற்றல் குறைபாடுடன் இருக்கும் குழந்தைகள் துரு துரு வென ஓடி ஆடி விளையாடி அதீத ஆற்றலை வெளிப்படுத்துவர் பல சமயங்களில் அது பிறரைத் துன்புறுத்துவதாக அமைந்து விடுகிறது. இன்னும் சிலர் சமத்து குழந்தையாக தென்பட்டலும் பகல் கனவிலேயே காலத்தை ஓட்டுவர். “இது ஒரு நோய், தீர்க்கவே முடியாது” என்று நினைப்பது முட்டால்தனம். “இவன் அப்பா அஞ்சு வயசுல தான் பேசுனாரு இவனும் பேசீர்வான்” இது மூட நம்பிக்கை. இவர்களின் தேவை எல்லாம் “வித்தியாசமான கற்றல் முறை” மட்டுமே.

பாடத்தைப் பார்த்தும் கேட்டும் கற்றுக்கொள்வது வழக்கமான முறை இவர்களைப் பொறுத்தமட்டில் பார்ப்பது கேட்பது மட்டுமல்லாமல்,தொட்டு, உணர்ந்து, உருவாக்கி, கேள்விகள் எழுப்பி, நடித்து, பாடி, வண்ணங்கள் தீட்டி ஒவ்வொன்றையும் தனக்கான பாணியில் கற்றுக்கொள்ள முற்படுவர். இவர்களுக்குக் கற்றுக்கொடுப்பதே ஆனந்தம் தான். படிப்பைத் தாண்டி ஒவ்வொருவருக்குள்ளும் ஒரு சிறப்பம்சம் இருக்கும் அதனைத் தட்டி எழுப்பி மெருகேற்றுவதில் தான் நம் வெற்றியே.

உலகில் உள்ள ஒவ்வொரு மனிதனும் தனித்துவம் வாய்ந்தவரே. இந்த விதியின் அடிப்படையில் தான் உலகம் இயங்குகிறது. இருப்பினும் கல்வியில் இத்தனை வஞ்சகம். பிரபல ஹார்வர்டு பல்கலைக்கழத்தைச் சேர்ந்த பேராசிரியர் கார்டனர் “பல நுண்ணறிவு(multiple intelligence)” என்னும் கோட்பாட்டை முன் வைத்தார். அதில் மொழியியல், கலையாற்றல், அறிவியல், கணிதாற்றல், சங்கீதம், இயற்கை, தசை இயக்க ஆற்றல் என ஏழு வகையாக ஆற்றல்களைப் பிரித்து முன்னிலைப் படுத்தினார். நம் அனைவருக்குள்ளும் இவை காணப்பட்டாலும் , ஆற்றலின் அளவு ஒருவருக்கொருவர் வித்தியாசப்படும்.
     ஒருவரின் திறமை பாட புத்தகத்தை             படித்துக் கக்குவதன் அடிப்படயில்                நிர்னயிக்கப் படுவது, குரங்கை                 நீந்துவதன் அடிப்படையிலும், மீனை           மரம் ஏறுவதன் அடிப்படையிலும்                திறனாய்வு செய்வதற்கு ஒப்பாகும்.

அவ்வாறு தான் இது நாள் வரை கல்வித் துறையில் நிகழ்ந்து வருகிறது.

பெற்றோர்களும் பேராசை கொள்ளாமல், தண்டமாக லட்சக் கணக்கில் காசு கட்டி கல்விக்கு விலை போகாமல், உங்கள் குழந்தையின் வலிமை எதுவென்று கண்டுபிடிக்க அவனுக்கு உதவி மட்டுமே செய்தால் போதும். ஸ்மார்ட் போர்டும் ,ரிமோட்டும் வைத்து நீங்கள் பாடம் நடத்தினாலும், இந்தியாவின் சாம்பியன்ஸ் ட்ராஃபி வெற்றியை செய்தித்தாளிலிருந்து வெட்டி ஒட்டுவதிலே தான் அவன் பெருமிதமும் பெருமகிழ்ச்சியும் கொள்கிறான்.

"DON'T GIVE BIRTH TO A SMOKER'S CHILD"

For decades, Environmentalists, Biologists and Socialists are trying hard to create awareness about the harmfulness and the effects of smoking. I don't wanna list out the number of diseases that you gonna acquire while you are smoking because, the bitter truth is the damages that smoking cause are not very instant and therefore you guys never really cared and when you really do care ,it will already be too late. Two-third majority of college students smoke. one- third majority are addicted to it. Again the sad part is its treated as a trend as if a basic qualification of any student and people are proud about their skill of addiction. The point is you are not only spoiling yourself like the traditional advises say but the stability of the future generation as a whole.

There is this concept " Epigenetic modification"( chemical alterations of the DNA affecting the activity of the genes). This epigenetic modification takes place in your gene when the tobacco burn, damaging your genetic makeup permanently, like altering more than 7000 genes. And then you suffer with stroke, heart-attack, cancer, asthma, etc.., reaping your fate. But here your child faces diseases and your entire generation will suffer. How?

If you have smoked during the period of conception( egg being fertilized in a woman's body),it will lead to pregnancy no doubt But your child will weigh less than 2500 grams, chances of preterm birth(less than 9 months), chances of miscarriage(abortion), chances of SIDS- Sudden Infant Death Syndrome.If you are smoking for a long period of time, the genetic makeup of yours will affect your child with Wheezing illness, mental disability, mental retardation, ADHD (Attention deficit hyper activity disorder), Delayed speech, Behavioral problems, Learning problems, Impaired maths ability. The damages you made in your gene is affecting the nervous system of your kid's brain. On top of all these researches prove Cardiovascular diseases, Cancer, Diabetes chances are high among the kids of smoking parents. 

These are not just as simple as you look at. You might not able to even understand some diseases. "Smoking" results in LOW SPERM QUALITY and sometimes even INFERTILITY, this is way better than destroying a newborn's life. It takes 5 years after quitting to smoke for the genes to recover. But we are at the stage where we understood there is no point in writing pages about the cause and effects to those for whom only their addiction matters. These effects get passed onto Generation after Weaker generation after Worser generation and ends at a stage where there is no Generation at all- "The end of mankind".

So, this is a warning for the woman of this entire nation. Just wake up! we know how much Love, aspiration, passion, life and pain it incurs to bring about a child to this world, you always wanted to give her/him the best, the fullest, the entire. Never with a bad choice. Protect yourself from the SECONDHAND SMOKE! because

You are not just giving birth to a child
 but raising a generation which mustn't be weak or worse.

                               "WINDOW SEAT"

As usual after the college my friends and I boarded the bus with a fruit salad plate in our hand which we rushed to buy seconds before. It was unusually crowd and only I got to sit, in my favorite last window seat(conductor seat), that day we were actually having fun and that mood just reflected in the bus like people looking at us might think "these girls are acting weird". Unmindful of those I wanted to share the fruit pieces with the guy sitting near me, he politely denied it. He looked young,dusky and in his early twenties. He had a broad,deep and kind smile when he looked at me. On top of all he din't see me weird.  Then I put on my earphones and in between we girls were having some conversation in sign language , laughing aloud, passing mobiles and all those common things.
         
When it is only 4 kilometers away from my place , the guy started the conversation asking whereabouts and whatabouts and it was my turn and now I noticed something "his hand" its not a real hand its a leather setup! He noticed that I noticed and said " I am returning from Ganga hospital after fixing this hand, its been a while (8 months) since I lost my hand and thats an unfortunate industrial accident in salem and I'm a BE graduate" . There was a deep seated pain but a really broad smile and a matured mindset of handling this situation .All I had to say him is " Can I touch  that hand?" he smiled. Then he said this thing " you all look so happy, just enjoy your life like this."

I'm still figuring out what was in his mind. Probably he  remembered his college days were he had so many friends to laugh, hug and make fun of, about the bikes and cars he loved riding, about the fights, about the food they had cursed  in hostel, about his girlfriend whom he texted all night and may be he is dying inside and wants to cry aloud may be more. I know no words of compromise will do any better . I invited him to my college telling him my name and department. With the bus already reaching my place and getting down it just striked I did not even ask his name.

I wish I meet him again and talk to him beyond his hand and its not out of sympathy but for the reason that he dint see us weird when everyone else did.

       

“DEATH  TURNS  TO  POLITICAL  MARKETING”

    “GAJENDRA SIGH” is his name ,until yesterday he was just an ordinary unknown farmer who was a failure in agriculture. But now  he is a hero and believed to be a cause for a change which may or may not happen, but the bitter truth is he is no more.

      The AAM AADMI PARTY(AAP) organized a rally in Jantar mantar on Wednesday at 10am  regarding the “land bill opposition”. The Delhi chief minister Mr.Arvind kejriwal and the party leader Sanjay singh went on with their addressing at the gathered farmers and AAP workers from across several states including Odissa, Punjab, Uttarpradesh, Karnataka, Rajasthan, Haryana, Jharkhand, etc.., exhibiting their opposition towards Narendhra modi’s land bill as “crucial infrastructure project”. In the meanwhile, a farmer named Gajendra singh from Rajasthan climbed upon a tree and for about 3hrs and 5mnts he was upon the tree and no one noticed, but around 1am he was found hanging himself from the tree. At once when everyone realized what is actually happening it was already too late , then the farmer was taken down to the Ram manohar lohia hospital nearby. But unfortunately his story ends where the political blame game and the bundle of controversies begins.

                  Around more than 1000 people were present, news reporters and cameras of most of the media were present, police men were present in a large number in order to enhance protection in the rally, most importantly the Delhi CM Mr. Arvind kejriwal was present. But still no one noticed the farmer upon the tree. And even if they did notice it is normal to mistake that he might have climbed upon tree to have a glimpse of the leaders who were addressing.

                After the death of the farmer, the first hearing is from the Delhi CM ,who saw everything lively, blamed the entire drama was due to the irresponsibility of the police men present there because they work under the central govt(BJP), they dint step to rescue. WILL THAT EVER HAPPEN?? When a human commits suicide the other one stands still smiling ,it was cooked up that way…may have happened because it is INDIAN POLITICS.

             Congress being an important opposite party, already it deals with the problems of the farmers, arranges campaigns to address their problems, visits the farmers and their lands from different states .further this incident like adding fuel to the fire made their path stronger and they blamed the AAP who is the common enemy for both congress and BJP “that even after the incident ,the leaders continued to address, unmindful of the condition of the farmer which led to the death of the farmer.

     They(AAP) might not have thought it would end up like this!!!!

         BJP as a central party and ruling responsibility atleast had a bit more practical approach towards it, though the other members of the party including RAJNATH SINGH participated in the blame game, the prime minister Mr. NARENDRA MODI twittered as

“Farmer Gajendra’s death has saddened the nation, we are deeply shattered and disappointed. At no point must the hardworing farmer think he is alone. We are all together in creating a better tomorrow for the farmers of India.”

Atleast he tweeted this way away from the blame game .

Apart from these blame game over one another .The farmer’s so called suicide note tells that he was kicked out of the home due to the failure of the crop and he has three children and how will he be able to face them? And his suicide is due to debt, crop failure ,drought …

             The question is ,what it has to do with the land acquisition bill?. Though there are a lot of negatives regarding the land acquisition bill .It can be solved and cleared with better discussion with all the leaders, which is very hard to happen in the houses!..but still this death delays the land bill conclusion.

              Still the investigation goes on “ whether it is suicide or unfortunately he slipped away”?, “the so called suicide note is not his handwriting says his children”, “he doesn’t seem to be so depressed to commit suicide says megha ,his daughter”.

             Amidst all these controversies, whether true or false. Since all these years, so many suicides of farmers have happened . At those times it was just an information to kejriwal or modi or raghul or Sonia or to me or to you. No one cried then and created a buzz as it happens now, none bothered about about those poor sacrifices . Even now Gajrndra’s death is the representation or compilation of all such deaths, which just happened in the light now. It is sure that all these teary drama, concerns, controversies and helps will come to halt soon even within this week. As a common man I deeply feel sorry for the farmers, where their sacrifice became an instrument for  blame and marketing of political parties but does not result in a better tomorrow without suicides of farmers.

MY DEAR LEADERS,

                  After the fire, the blame game, the news, the controversies, the concern, comes to the halt, Address this issue, find solution to this issue and create a better tomorrow without suicides of farmers …then face us…we celebrate you. But now we feel shameful to listen to your blame blabbers and do remember you are leaders and we  have given you the RESPONSIBILITY of whole country in your hands…

With questions,

“MANIRATNAM’S MAGIC IN MENTAL HEARTS”

             “MANI SIR”,the person behind every scene  on the screen.  “o kadhalkanmani”(okkanmani).Undoubtedly it quenched the thirst of many and honestly I am no exception. The story is simply about “living in relationship”, the growing or I say the developed mind set and lifestyle of THARA and AADHI, they fall in love in the course of time  and their dislike towards marriage and commitment makes their relationship stronger. Aadhi and Thara being a game designer and architect their professions clearly portray their characters. GANAPATHY sir and BHAVANI aunty are more a family and are importantly indirectly or directly the reason for the decision at the end.

                “OK KANMANI…,SINAMIKA….which girl says no?? but   KOVAYA MUMBAYA??...though it happens in MUMBAI she belongs to kovai ,who says yes here??. When they stood before Ganapathy sir after deciding to live together, he understood they are no joke  also from Thara’s “MALARGAL KETEN”.he accepted it not because she sung well, because she clearly knows about the path of her life and he came to know that from the clarity in her song. However there is no room to argue whether living together is right or wrong here.                    

                The story as a typical Maniratnam movie kick started with the train and travelled in a super hero bike with two love birds in the metro Mumbai city ,THE BEST 6 MONTHS they ever had with so much understanding with so much love, without any nagging, especially without commitment …..,when only happiness is present nothing accompanies enjoyment made them KING AND QUEEN . Relationship always has pepper in it ,which Thara expressed it soon They get down from the bike to travel in the jeep which lead them to search not only Bhavani aunty but also how important a commitment(salt) is, and they did know. wherever they go whether it is train or  bike or jeep they finally ended up in the land(climax). However  birds cannot be ceased flying…

        The sure energy in the movie and breezy,groovy songs placed varieties of smile and brought a love and enthu for life, about life of those who watched it . Dhulkar with his charm and ablosute innocence took away many flowery hearts ,though it is felt that he is being insensitive about Thara’s feelings in the second half ,she is the one who lead the story then after, however they ended up with a positive and expected climax but when a mind completely accepts in living together without commitments and a licence how come it ended up in a marriage?  

                  Though, The story was so natural , the love was honest and energetic and the CINEMATOGRAPHY (P.C.SREERAM) spoke a lot especially in Ahmedabad scene and the dialogues,

“eppothum ponunga pinnadi dhaan suthuviya?”,
“porandhadhulirunthu”

“Arrange marriage, veetla paatha maaplai”
“chiiiiiiiiiii” ,

the dialogues made the characters very intense and keen and the music no words Rahman sir

“Theera ulavaai ……..paranthu sendru ……sinamikavin…….ethanai sinamikavin ….mental manadhil…….malargalai ketadho??”

It was perfect for those whether 20 or 80 only who accept being metro and not for everyone… 

                   Both THARA and AATHI are deep , intense ,independent, intelligent characters not introduced but brought to the light and waiting to know more about them.Being an ultra modern director and hero of many minds he have given a movie which will be well fitted even after years how ALAIPAYUTHE is a perfect movie even at this date and even in the future. OK KANMANI is a block buster hit even after years…………..thank you MANI sir.

                                                          WITH LOVE,

KADHAL KANMANI…

"DARE TO DREAM"

Dare to dream; my dear heart;

Dare to do;my dear mind;

Dare to feel it ;my dear soul;

Dare to prove it ;my dear body.

To be a cute,little, pretty daughter

Her father feels her as a sweet torture

Cross distances in his motorbike;

Chat stories with him, like a nut&crack

Sitting before him on the tank of the bike...

To enjoy the life of sixteen

By bunking the classes in between;

Powerful gang of boys and girls

Chases and shouts at the corridors...

"Ind-pak cricket",in the stadium to watch

The great war of 20-20 match;

Placed at the Indian corner,

Where both the fans join together

And,both the flags raise together...

To visit the Army and the militants

Watching them, working for the nation;

The operation and execution are sensation

Loss of their colleague due to death

They understand, its a long path to go...

To spend time with the orphans

Handle them,like my sisters and brothers;

Teach them the state of the changing world,

Meet them often to play with

Take them to another world of mine

To be alone in a big forest

Sitting on the rock of a waterfall;

Deep darkness accompanied by the moon

With the smell of the soil and a  great feel

Dare to hear; the most lovable song

                       that heals your pain...

Dare to dream; my dear heart...

                                    WITH ANSWERS...........PRIYA
