ഓണക്കാലം
ഈ ആഴ്ച ഞാന്‍ വീട്ടില്‍ പോയപ്പോള്‍ റോട്ടില്‍ പുള്ളുവത്തി മാരെ കണ്ടു
എന്റെ ചെറുപ്പത്തില്‍ നാവോരുപാട്ട് കേട്ടതിന്റെ ഓര്‍മകളും ഓടിയെത്തി
മാമന്റോടെ വച്ചാണ് ഞാന്‍ ആദ്യമായി നവോരുപാട്ട് കേള്‍ക്കുന്നത് അന്ന്നുതന്നെ അത് നമ്ബുടെ സംസ്കാരത്തിന്റെ ഭാഗമാണെന്നു മനസ്സില്‍ തരചിരുനു
എന്റെ ചെറുപ്പത്തില്‍ നാവോരുപാട്ട് കേട്ടതിന്റെ ഓര്‍മകളും ഓടിയെത്തി
മാമന്റോടെ വച്ചാണ് ഞാന്‍ ആദ്യമായി നവോരുപാട്ട് കേള്‍ക്കുന്നത് അന്ന്നുതന്നെ അത് നമ്ബുടെ സംസ്കാരത്തിന്റെ ഭാഗമാണെന്നു മനസ്സില്‍ തരചിരുനു

വീണ്ടുമൊരു ഓണം
ചെറുപ്പം മുതല്‍ പതിവായി എത്തുന്ന ഓണം ഇത്തവണയും നേരത്തെ എത്തി, എന്നാല്‍ അന്നത്തെ പ്ര്താപ്മില്ലാതെ, കുട്ടിക്കാലത്ത് അത് ഒരു ആചാരമായി തോന്നിയിരുന്നെന്കില്‍ ഇപ്പോള്‍ വെറും ഒരു ചടങ്ങ് മാത്ത്ര്മായാണ് തോന്നുന്നത്. മലയാളികള്‍ക്ക് വര്‍ഷത്തില്‍ വിഭവസ്മ്രിതമായ സദ്യ ഓണകാലത്ത് മാത്രമായിരുന്നു ഇന്നു എന്നും പാര്‍ട്ടികളാണ് . എല്ലാവര്ക്കും ഓണാശംസകള്‍
റൈന്‍ കോട്ട് എന്റെ പ്രിയപ്പെട്ട സിനിമ
'Raincoat' is a film about two people who come from the same village in the backwoods of Bihar - a young man, Manoj (Ajay Devgan) and a woman, Niru (Aishwarya Rai). Two people joined by love, but separated by circumstance. Star crossed in a way, but not in the way that the phrase usually implies.
Manu [Ajay Devgan] was from a village in the backwoods. Neeru [Aishwarya Rai] was the girl next door, his lost love. He came from his small village to the big city of Kolkata with hope in his heart. His pockets were empty and he was desperate for employment. He found his way to her house on a wet afternoon in a borrowed raincoat. She met him draped in silk, and shrouded by darkness in a strange gloomy house crowded with furniture.
Cut to present day rainy Kolkata. Wearing a borrowed raincoat, Manoj arrives to meet Neeru. The carefree days of youth are long over. The harshness of day-to-day reality and responsibility have besieged into the duo's disposition.
Uncomfortable, inquisitive, withdrawn and puzzled at different times of the conversation, Manoj drawls back and forth in his chair, restlessly smoking cigarettes, as if he is really making an effort to believe Neeru's tall proclamations. And then…the raincoat does its bit. The truth comes out. And so do their intense feelings for each other.
Raincoat" is a film that must find an audience. It harks back to the golden era of art house cinema during 1975-1985. If Ghosh had made the film then, he would've quite obviously cast Shabana Azmi and Naseeruddin Shah who would've slipped into character without a whimper of protest.
What remains with us long after the last frame is the narrative's tremulous nostalgia. Little droplets of memories quiver tremblingly over the trees that arch their branches into Ghosh's static backdrop. You don't see the trees but you feel the calmness of lives that have gone into emotional remission.
Rituparno Ghosh's direction deserves no points. The film is too offbeat, atypical and nonconforming for the Indian audiences. Cinematography is passable. The background music is minimal.
Both Ajay Devgan and Aishwarya Rai are strictly okay. No great shakes definitely! Annu Kapoor is the scene stealer. Sameer Dharmadhikari is adequate. Mouli Ganguly leaves a strong impression.
Unlike other thwarted love stories, "Raincoat" doesn't end in delayed joy. It just ends leaving behind a baggage of unsaid thoughts and lines.

To be very honest, I strongly believe in 'Aham brahmaasami.' I think that is the right idea to me. But I am not ready to blame or wright off our culture. I think we have to do lot of things in the world as a part of our life. So we have to be social. Our culture belongs from the great epics of Ramayana & Mahabharatha, so we have to follow them, that gave us a good way of lifestyle and lot of Gods & temples as well. We can't live alone and for only one goal.
In Thiruvliwamala, here we have temples for almost all gods, churches and mosques is well . Yes all these spiritual enshrines have to play a big role in the society. I think the festivals of these temples could make Thiruvilawmala village higher and higher . These festivals ensure the integrity and co-ordination between different persons and different cultures, also effect in cast and religion system in good way.
As far as Thiruvilwamala concerned, we are very lucky to have big occassions for festival like 'Parakottukav Thalapoli' , 'Vilwadrinatha Kshethra Ekadahshi', more than ten small temples thalapolis, Punrjani Noozhal, Vilwadrinathan temple Niramala, Mariyamman poojas of different parts of the village,etc.
Among all, Parakottukav Thalapoli is the perfect occassion for festival lovers. Every year people coming from different places of Kerala, from the nieghbour states, and also the foreigners.
