I am amidst many but yet i am alone
I am in a wonderful place yet i am away from my place
I think i see solitude but i see myself too
I feel i see just a tree yet i feel i see someone else through this tree
If i said i see God it would be unconvincing for many
But if i said i saw myself it would be taken otherwise
So all i said was i saw solitude yet a total peace

On Saturday i had finally made up my mind to go for a DSLR. I was clearer in the mind than the previous day when big C recommended D80 and so did Arun, but they both ended up asking me to take my own decision. I do not repent this decision, though many of my personal group of friends call me extravagant for investing close to 50K on a camera and lenses.
I feel that i have captured the next level of Photographical journey, one that is never going to end… and until one fine day when all these people around me who felt i wasted my money will tell me that i was indeed wise to take to Photography.
A day when i will be proud of my first official DSLR and first official camera : The Canon Digital Rebel XTi and yes… i will never forget what Arun sent me through that link… cos i remember everytime i take a snap that the most important thing in taking a good picture indeed rests 12″ behind the view finder !!
P.S: This is the first family photo taken from my new Digital Rebel XTi and i am glad it was Kaushik on the other end.
Thiru Valluvar showing 3 fingers indicating the 3 parts of his famous & master piece Tamil Literature Thiru Kural.
The Kural is divided into 3 parts :
1. Aram ( Virtue or Deeds - 38 Chapters)
2. Porul (Wealth - 70 Chapters)
3. Kaamam ( Love - 25 Chapters)
Born in Mylai (Mylapore, Chennai) and lived major of his life in Madurai where he submitted his work Thirukurral to the then King Pandian.
He was said to born for a Brahmin Father (Bhagavan) & a non brahmin Mother (Adi), who was an untouchable at those times. After he was abandoned by his parents and his short time adopted mother from vellala community, he was raised by a weaver couple. It is probably for this reason that even today many of the weavermen community claim to be the clan of Valluvan.
A monument called Valluvar Kottam was constructed in 1976 in Chennai. The monument includes front hall corridors with walls inscribed with all the 1330 kurals.
A 133 feet tall statue of Thiruvalluvar showing his first three fingers. The statue is carved out of rock and erected at the southern tip of India (Kanyakumari) where the Arabian Sea, the Bay of Bengal, and the Indian Ocean confluence. The 133 ft denotes Thirukkural’s 133 athikarams and the show of three fingers, perhaps, the three themes Aram, Porul, and Inbam.
