ON Retirement - Right age for retirement?

Image
Whats the right age for retirement?My grandma is 74,she is yet to retire from kitchen.I hear people from IIT or IIM,gets retired by the age of 45,as their brains are exhausted and need or deserve rest.Realised the value of being young,when i heard that brain cell after 10 arent good enough(or atleast difficult,not to the mark) to learn new lanuage.Obviously,there is no point in doing something again and again,that we are through and confident to be through.We can bring no satisfaction out if it.Isaac Newton completed most(all that are valued) of his theory by the time when he was 25,rest of his years were unproductive(as he engaged in Theology and alchemy).There are some data  and my experience that drags me to believe we are the best when we are young.Even when i read some writers earlier and latter work,i believe their later works are not great,compared to earlier ones.May be latter ones were of riding their past fame and making commercial benefit out of it,whereas the earlier on

ON Community - Every human being is a continent,he or she can overcome by..

Image
Every human being is a continent. He has no connection between the entire human beings around him. However what makes him connect is the commonness and as a result, an emotion coming out of it. That Commonness let people join hands which can be called as community. This community love can be born out of religion, caste, colour, nation, language, area, education, money. This helps us break from being continent, however that specific community now becomes continent, as a result division across human species will happen. People who don’t share commonness is consider to be an enemy or threaten for security by community members. People who don’t join community are consider to be an outsider, who can never make things happen because he isn’t been received by the so called community people. I really feel compassionate for these people who don’t join community, they are really genuine.         Everybody is entitled or inclined to have his own prejudices or genuine emotion to choose co

ON Second law of Thermodynamics - Universe is going to run down?

Image
Am sure learning physical properties of things spread across the universe is of no use as we need not deal with it.However out of sheer curiosity ,am going to try explain the second law of thermodynamics(study of heat,precisely). I've always believed that anytime,any person irrespective of the background and expertise in a field ,we have the ability to educate ourself on any topic in any subject except for that we need to know language,the only pre-requiste and few variable as parameters and constants.There is a known joke on tax,that nothing is permanent in life except for death and taxes,here would like to add-up "second law of thermodynamics" along with it.So there is nothing permanent in life except for "taxes,death and second-law of thermodynamics".Lets get to know this inevitable permanent impermanency.Request you not to get alienated and bored by the terms like thermodynamics,entropy,energy,heat,temperature etc on dealing with this topic.The law talks

ON Reading Journals and Magazines - Reading Kumudham,anadha vikatan,tamil magazines is bad for intellectual health,but good for emotional health?

Image
I always believed exposure makes a difference,atleast it stands as a starting point.How do we get exposure,thats a big question and how to make most of it is another.Medium like TV,newspapers,magazines,a new set of people with different background and many more are the sources of exposure.Atleast to certain extent,all childrens and teenagers,even the 2010 teenagers are of in limited zone and not able to open their wings.When i was young i was provided minimum of exposure like TV,The Hindu(used to stare the pictures,nothing more,the content and language is formed of strong society background and intellectuals) and magazine like Kumudam,Anandha Vikatan(Used to purchase them in Thursday nights KUMUDAM-Rs.2.25 and Anandha Vikatan-Rs.3.50 in 90s).        Reading is a habit cultivated by seeing the parents and mine is no different too.As these 2 magazines at one point started to excite me(since its not intellectuallly demanding and no other outlet or option?),especially Hai Madhan(Sta

  சமூகம் என்பது கடல், அதில் நான் எடுத்த தகவல் குடம் அளவு. இந்த கவிதை பிறந்த இடம் சாலை. சாலையை பூக்களால் அலங்கரித்து இருக்கிறது ஒரு சடலம், குறவன்,குறத்தி சாக்கடை அருகே, கல்லூரி பெண் செல்போன் sms வுடன், cyclinder வண்டி இழுக்கும் குடும்பஸ்தன். இந்த சமூக கடலின் ஆழம், மணல் அளவு,நஷத்திரம் அளவு,உடல் செல் அளவு, இல்லை,இல்லை..இங்கு இருக்கும் ஜாதி அளவு. சமூகத்தின் இத்தனை பரிமாணங்களையும் உள்ளடக்கி இருக்கும் நானே எந்த சமூகம், இந்த சமூகமே நான். ==ராஜ் ஈஷ்,March,2010

நான் வானம் பேசுகிறேன்..... பிரபஞ்ச ரகசியத்தை மறைக்கும் திரை நான், கீழே திரை விலகினால் நக்க்ஷதரங்களின் காட்சி, இங்கோ சூரியனின் ஆட்சி. வானூர்தியின் சாலை நான், அது தூவும் மாசுகளினால் நான் நிறம் மாறுவதில்லை, மனிதர்களை போல்.. இருப்பினும்,இவ்வளவு காலமாக ஒழித்து வைத்திருந்த, பிரபஞ்ச ரகசியத்தை உங்கள் ராக்கெட் கிழித்து எரிந்தது.. ------ராஜ் ஈஷ்,கோடைக்கானல்,23-10-2010

ON RIG VEDA

Image
A vast body of scientific information is hidden in ancient Hindu scriptures and Sanskrit texts. One such book is the celebrated commentary on the Rigveda by Sayana (c. 1315-1387), a minister in the court of King Bukka I of the Vijayanagar Empire in South India. Sayana comments: “It is remembered that Sun traverses 2,202 yojanas in half a nimesa; giving light to all things, even to the moon and the planets, by night; for they are of a watery substance from which the rays of the sun are reflected.” He also adds "O Sun! You see all, create brightness and travel very fast. You brighten the whole sky."Yojana is an ancient Indian unit of length and nimesa is the unit of time.“Everybody knows the speed of light is 186,000 miles(which is actually discovered by Ole Christensen Rømer 25 September 1644, Århus – 19 September 1710, Copenhagen) was a Danish astronomer who in 1676 made the first quantitative measurements of the speed of light.). But the hymn 1.50 of the Rigveda on the

ON Realisation - you will someday...

Image
I had always heard your entire life flashes in front when you realise yourself and accept yorrself and the world as it is. First of all, that one second isn't a second at all. It stretches on forever, like an ocean of time.It brought my memory of my first drive of cycle after strugulling to learn,my fathers smell in his chest when he hugged me.When i watched flowers,trees in the road side inspite of pollution,people running for jobs,babies carrying book loads a in a lovely rainy evening..When i cried in the presence of no one and absence of loved one.My grandmother still working hard bursting with energy and happily to cook and serve food to her family,inspite of her action not been recognised which is of 60years hardwork..... It's hard to realise that ive been mad when there's so much beauty in the world.Sometimes I feel like I'm seeing it all at once, and it's too much.My heart fills up like a balloon flying high with freedom and then I remember to relax, and
