I travel in office bus to office. I am one of those commuters who board bus in the very beginning. And in the evening I always become extra conscious and reach the bus very early and henceforth I have never got the prerequisite of standing inside the bus and traveling. Yesterday I grabbed that opportunity of standing. No. I didn’t grab it. I was given. Poor me!
Only then I had realized the distance between the place I boarded and office. What a long journey! The bus driver has been using the same route ever since I started using the bus and only yesterday I had seen certain places that my bus cuts cross and that is coz I could not sleep while standing.
Now look what my intellectual ability says...
You need some troubles in life to learn a few things. Certain things are always around us and we realize only at tuff times.
You need some troubles to make you know that you are capable of handling them.
I better sneak off! Look at the philosophy that I come up with a small forced journey that I had to go through!
"The end" for now!
Catch me later.

Combating with a Bull
Hi all
Its Pongal in Tamilnadu. Pongal is strictly a rural festival in Tamilnadu. It is said it points to an auspicious beginning of the sun's movement and also the harvesting time. For all those city-bred guys, I would like to cite a few points on this festival. Pongal festivities last for four days.(Of course we get only one day off from our official work).The first day is Bhogi ,second day it is Pongal, Mattu Pongal is on the third day and on the fourth day it is Kannam Pongal. I am not getting into details of these festivals. The only thing that's been in the back of my mind is why do people see a chance to turn the tide of the festival mood? Coming back on Pongal...it is a day for farmers. They thank God for their fortune and Sun is also worshipped. House entrances are decorated with beautiful Kolam and designs. Cows are bedecked with ornaments and taken out. And Of course we get to taste the delicious 'Pongal' which is a sweet porridge recipe cooked from the new rice. Now coming to my point, there are so many games on earth. Football, Basketball, Baseball, kabbadi, Auto Racing, tug of war, volleyball, tennis and so many. Games are meant to give courage, competitive sprit, good health and sometimes wealth. Here comes a game that gets associated with Pongal. Now why is this game ought to be played on Pongal? It is "jallikattu". There is another sport called "Bull Fighting”. "Bull Fighting" is a popular sport in Spain where they let two bulls fight and the owner of the bull which knocks the other bull down gets to win. Now the game am referring is where throngs of youth chase a bull and vice versa .i should say this is the most popular spectator game in Tamilnadu. May be this game would have got its start out of sheer necessity….the need to cultivating individual strength for labor on the fields or even the need of defense. Later this game would have been a part of high recreation. jallikattu competitions --why do people still organize such competition? I do understand villagers like to size-up the skill and power of their animals on the sport ground. but does this mean they should do this at the cost of human lives? I still wonder how this game has survived since ages against all conflicts. There are bulls that are bred only for this purpose. You should see the aggressive and frenzied bull chasing the crowd and people getting pierced by it. I found no thrill in watching the event. My heart stood still. I would say the bull also gets harassed there. Is this the only way on earth for men to prove their heroism?
