The Habit Of Reading

The Habit Of Reading.

The habit of reading has so many innumerable, virtuous advantages. Firstly considering, you improve your concentration skills. An effective reader can read highly effective without missing smaller, micro information like year and initials of names. When you concentrate your mind becomes refreshing and extremely serene. Secondly, you improve your vocabulary power, you learn sentence structure and you learn grammar , in a nut shell you improve your language skills. You develop all the language skills just like reading and speaking which are receptive skills and writing and listening which are productive skills. Reading improves our level of knowledge, often you get a brimming level of knowledge of the content you read. If your knowledge improves you can deal and handle the cognitive things very deftly. Often if the students read a lot they can score high marks in their exams and also they can share their knowledge with their peers which results in a good rapport in peers which ends up in good friendship. You can improve your writing skills by reading a lot. Often now a days’ deft writers were good readers one day and they practiced a certain level of writing everyday. So if you’re an effective reader you can end up as an effective writer.

If we consider what the negative perspectives of watching TV are, you stick yourself to one place when you watch TV. So your calories do not get burned and ultimately your cholesterol get increased. Often, if you’re watching a film when you view the climax and if you don’t like it the whole watching is a sheer waste of time. Recent researches say that kids who watch TV more than 8 hours a day develop ill habits like quarreling with their peers, lack of concentration in studies, and lack of physical activities so on and so forth.

Also you can spend your spare time doing creative handiwork which reduces the wastes of polythene, plastic and the like. You can do gardening, a soothing pastime. You can choose a small place and you can plant so many trees there. When each shoot is appearing you feel like your own kid is growing.

So there are so many hobbies which are highly useful and soothing to our mind. So let’s stop killing our time in unwanted activities and let’s spend our spare time highly useful and let’s be useful to ourselves, the ones who’re around us, to our city, to our country, and to our world.

Bhrathiyar Songs

Bharathiyar Songs.

In my view Bharathiyar is simply a hero. The tone of valour, spark in his words is extremely valouric. So energetic when we read especially when we read aloud with appropriate expressions and intonation. His songs are catogerized under ten categories: They’re national songs, songs of wisdom, songs of worship, multi songs, sole songs, auto bio grapy, songs of Kannan, the vow of Draupathi(first part – The intrigue of Duryodana), the vow of Draupathi( second part- Adimaich charukkam), the songs of koyel( kuyip paattu), revived songs of Tamil. I highly admire certain lines just like kulirthalum suduthalum uyirkkilai sorvu veezhchchihal thondarukkiali which means according to the saying of Bhahavad Gita the soul cannot be drenched, dried, destroyed, created, or burnt. Just like that there’s no discouragement to disciples, the song of waking Bharatha matha and one more unique characteristic in his songs is while singing we fulfill the duty of worshipping certain gods and goddesses so that we don’t have to worship separately for instance if we pronounce om sakthi om sakthi om parasakthi om sakthi om sakthi om again and again it creates a vibration in our soul and it gets refreshed in our soul so that we feel energized. One more example is kaayile pulippathenna kannaperumane nee kaniyile inippaththenna kannaperumane. One more song which praises the god’s grace is “ inthap puvi thanil vaazhum marangalum inba narumalar pooonjetik koottamum antha malarhalaich choozhtha kodihalum, oudatha moolihap poondu pul yaavaiyum entha tholil seithu vaalvanavo which means how do trees, bushes, creepers and climbers and herbs live? Unlike human beings trees and flowers don’t exert with hard labour and long hours. But still they live. How? By god’s grace. But it’s notable to consider they produce their own food by photosynthesis. However sunlight is needed for photosynthesis. Sun rises on god’s order, so howsoever it’s the god who makes live all these trees and flowers. One more striking song is vellaith thaamaraip poovil iruppaal veenai seiyum oliyil irruppal which means oh! That vani dwells in whote lotus and she dwells in the sound of veena, and she stays in happiness, she search for knowledge and she dwells in Vedas: Rig, Yasur, Sama, Athrvana, she dwells in the words of saints with pure hearts and she is the meaning for mercy. One more song is Yaathumahi nindrai kali engum nee nirainthai which means oh! Kali matha you’re everything and you’re filled in the whole world. His one of the foremost songs is karumbuth thottaththile. He tells an incident of Indian women labourers working in the fields of sugar cane. The way he empathizes towards those women makes us empathize. He mentions they’re suffering in the fields od sugar cane, they’re suffering immensely. Isn’t there away to eradicate this pain. They’re working like yoked bulls. If we pronounce a woman even the ghost will get melted. Oh! God, wouldn’t you get melted. In the South ocean in an island where none lives they’re suffering in a marooned jungle. They’re thinking of their home. They don’t have energy even to cry. Thus the wailing over the women ends. Another interesting song is inviting to call the lord if robbers stops you half way through the journey. Oh! Elder brother, if some robbers stop you half way through the jungle pronounce our god’s name so that they’ll get afraid and run away. If they command stop your cart pronounce our god’s name so that they get afraid and run awaywhich reminds me a similar cinema song “ Kaattu valiye or karichchang kuruvihala” but here it’s the bear which crosses not robbers.

So Bharathiyar must have been a ,man-of-words, he himself says “ennai sudar mihum arivudan padaiththu vittai”. So hats off to Bharathiyar.  

A Country's Leadership Qualities And Its Development.

A Country’s Leadership Qualities And Its Development.

The panel of people who lead the country is the president, prime minister, group of ministers and members of parliament. A country should have exemplary leadership qualities to guide the country. Often the position of a president is similar to a king of the then structured society. A king ruled very strictly and according to Dharma. If someone murdered someone the king punished them. He provided all the resources to to people. There was a bell in the entrance of the palace and if some citizen had any problem he can come to the palace and proclaim his problem to the king. The king provided the necessary solution to the problem, for instance if someone murdered someone he sentenced death to the murderer so that before punishing others the king didn’t had any defects like the king did not murdered anyone voluntarily so that he loses the opportunity of punishing the murderer. Thus a leader of a country should have a mediated attitude towards its people. He can’t have partiality over multiple ethnicities, faiths and languages. The chief character of a leader is being mediated. Firstly there can’t be disputes among ethnicity or among multiple religions in the country. This amiable, peaceful stability leads to many prolific conditions namely, economic stability, political stability, and the like. It’s the leader’s responsibility to uplift all the sectors of the country; often there are three sectors of the country, agricultural sector, industrial sector, and service sector. Often in first world countries service sector takes on the leading position, industrial sector rates second, and agricultural sector, the third. But for a third world country it’s advisable to foster the agricultural sector, simultaneously maintaining the stability of other two sectors without losing the equilibrium. A first citizen of a country should have some spiritual qualities as well which uplifts the position of a country in the world, for instance, if we consider the former president of India Dr, A.P.J. Abdul Kalam, his circumstances of upbringing were very strong and prolific. His father quoted statements from Al-Quaran so that from his childhood onwards he was physically, mentally, socially and spiritually stabilized person which resulted in bringing a worldwide position to India. Secondly, if the citizens of the country( citizens of all ethnicities, religions and language) are respecting and loving the leader it proves that the leader is a noble person. Thirdly the king of then structured society wasn’t money minded, he didn’t steal the country’s money for his own betterment, he didn’t steal people’s exertion. Thus the stability of a prolific country is determined on the basis of ethnic, religious and language harmonies.

Om Sri Sai Ram!!!
