Chennai is most affected due to the recent rainfall and flood. Death toll crosses 280 in Chennai: Meteorological departme

says the root cause for the flood is El-Nino, but this is a man made disaster. Chennai's original terrain consists of many lakeand marshes which now is covered with numerous buildings. Over 5,550 hectares of wetlands in the IT Corridor oVelachery, Pallikaranai and Old Mahabalipuram Road (OMR) have been developed into commercial real-estate because owhich the rain water has nowhere to go and thus, settles instead on the road. There are areas in Chennai which are floodeeven during normal Monsoon season. The google map of madippakam in the front page taken on 2000 and 2015 will tell uthe real scenario.

The Reasons for this disaster is

1. Construction of Building in the Lake area.2. Encroachment of river banks3. Cutting down of trees.4. No proper plan in building of Infrastructure5. Poor Waste Management6. ILL-preparedness of Disaster Management team to face this magnitude of disaster

Steps to be taken by government to avoid such disaster in future

The government should take stern action against persons who encroaches lake and river area. All Encroachments should be removed immediately . Dams, Dry Dams should be built to stop floods Diversion Canals should be built on the areas which is Self Closing Flood Barrier systems to be installed in prime areas. These types of SCFB have already been built an

installed in Belgium, Italy, Ireland, the Netherlands, Thailand, United Kingdom, Vietnam, Australia, Russia and the UniteStates.

Planting more trees and preserving nature

We request all to donate to the victims of the flood .

“PREVENTION IS BETTER THAN CURE”

Nataraja or Nataraj, the dancing form of Lord Shiva, is a symbolic synthesis of the most important aspecof Hinduism, and the summary of the central tenets of this Vedic religion. The term 'Nataraj' means 'King oDancers' (Sanskrit nata = dance; raja = king).Shiva's cosmic dance is called Anandatandava, the "Dance of Bliss." symbolizes the cosmic cycles of creation and destruction, as well as the daily rhythm of birth and death. In Buddhisterms this would be Anicca or "impermanence," known in longer cycles as "eventual decay" and in much shortecycles as "constant flux." The dance is a pictorial allegory of the five principle manifestations of eternal energy —creation, destruction, preservation, emancipation, and illusion. Eminent Scientist relates Lord Nataraja with Science

According to A.K. Coomerswamy, the Dance of Shiva also represents his five activities: evolution, supporde-evolution, illusion, and release (or grace). The overall temper of the image is paradoxical, uniting the inne

tranquility and outer activity of Shiva.

Einstein’s mass energy relation was considered to be one of the finest discoveries in the field of physicEinstein was the first scientist to propose this relation. However the knowledge of mass energy relation existed abou2800 years before the birth of Sir Albert Einstein in India. There is a striking resemblance between the EinsteinMass Energy Relation and the Cosmic Dance of Lord Nataraja. This cosmic dance gives a clear picture of thcreation of universe, the Big Bang Theory and the mass energy relation.

Sir Jacob Epstein, “Shiva dances, creating the world and destroying it, his large rhythms conjure up a vaaeons (aeons mean a period of one thousand million years) of time, and his movements have a relentless magic

power of incantation. Our European allegories are banal and pointless by comparison with these profound workdevoid of the trappings of symbolism, concentrating on the essential, and the essentially plastic.”

Carl Sagan, in his book, “Cosmos” asserts that the Dance of Nataraja (Tandava) signifies the cycle oevolution and destruction of the cosmic universe (Big Bang Theory). “It is the clearest image of the activity of Gowhich any art or religion can boast of.” Modern physics has shown that the rhythm of creation and destruction is nonly manifest in the turn of the seasons and in the birth and death of all living creatures, but also the very essence inorganic matter. For modern physicists, then, Shiva’s dance is the dance of subatomic matter. Hundreds of yeaago, Indian artist created visual images of dancing Shiva’s in a beautiful series of bronzes. Today, physicists havused the most advanced technology to portray the pattern of the cosmic dance. Thus, the metaphor of the cosmdance unifies ancient religious art and modern physics.

Fritz of Capra in The Tao of Physics relates Nataraj's dance with modern physics. "Every subatomparticle not only performs an energy dance, but also is an energy dance; a pulsating process of creation andestruction…without end…For the modern physicists, then Shiva's dance is the dance of subatomic matter. As Hindu mythology, it is a continual dance of creation and destruction involving the whole cosmos; the basis of aexistence and of all natural phenomena."ccounts for her destructive nature. Energy – in Einstein’s equation, E=mc2 is personified in India as Shakti in her various guises.”

Richard Waterstone studied Sanskrit at the University of Edinburgh, journalist, creator of BB

documentary, author, comments in his book on India: “Living Wisdom” “Shiva’s dance is a symbol of the unity an

rhythm of existence. The unending dynamic process of creation and destruction is expressed in the energet

posture of the god. Shiva dances in a ring of fire that refers to the life-death process of the universe.” “There is

striking resemblance between the equivalence of mass and energy symbolized by Shiva’s cosmic dance and th

Western theory, first expounded by Einstein, which calculates the amount of energy contained in a subatomic partic

by multiplying its mass by the square of the speed of light : E=mc2.”

Power of Speech

Power of Speech is the high sounding Mantra of 21st Century. It is a seed of success. It is the need of thehour. It is demand of the time. Compulsion of the time. It is nucleus of success. You may be an average studentbut exercise yourself in language drills. Strengthen your linguistic stamina. Be linguistically bright. It gains you asocial cushion. It guarantees placements when you master the English language. It will become your magic lampwith which you can achieve anything. You will always float at the higher plane socially. You will have a globaoutlook. Your personality will change. Benefits will be multidimensional.

Even aspirants with good academic records, cripple on the platform of keen competition. Erase the wrongnotion about English that it is difficult language to learn. It is the most loveable, charming and user-friendlylanguage. Many students have communication problems. What, do you think., is the cause of the problem o

English communication. Your method/ process of learning English must be defective. Language is a skill subjeclike swimming / dancing/ riding or driving.

To learn a skill subject, you have to take consistent, and systematic practice. You have to learn it properlysystematically and scientifically. To improve your swimming skill, you have to get into the water and try to swim. Iyou don’t get into the water, your swimming will not improve. In the same way, motivate your interest in learningEnglish. Expose yourself to any form of English, at least for ONE hour daily to begin with. Practice active listeningand comprehensive reading. Never mind understanding at the initial stage. When you are sincere in this attemptyou can speak English comfortably.

Great speakers are not born, but we can all become one. Winston Churchill, the then Prime Minister oGreat Britain, is commonly regarded as One of the greatest speakers in the history of English language, eventhough he suffered from a slight lisp and stammer and his first speech in British Parliament was a disaster. Hewas very famous for his large vocabulary. He used 60,000 words in his speech and writing. He became one othe greatest public speakers. John F. Kennedy the then President of the United States of America, once saidChurchill mobilized the English Language and sent it in to his battle. Churchill’s words stole his countrymen’sresolve. His speeches spelled the difference between survival and defeat.

The key is training and practice. It is just like learning to speak and mastering a language. All of us can do itOur success in Business, as well as in personal relationship, depends on our ability to connect with people, win theiadmiration and influence them. No other skill can achieve so much than our ability to speak in public. Researcherssay that the skill of public speaking is not only beneficial in creating an effective network for ourselves but alsohelps to increase a considerable extent our confidence there by making us effective communicators. Also whoconquers one’s fear of addressing the mass, knows no fear in communicating with individuals.

Socrates, philosopher and teacher of Ancient Greece, who changed the world, says, “ We can persuade anyone by ensuring credibility, emotions and logic in our communication”.

Shakespeare says , “ Brevity is the soul of wit” – “ க வ அறவ ஆம”. சகஇலக பறவ , அவ மரகள அதக கணபட பழகள கப அ.

கவஞ ப

Let us be crisp and brief. Let us use single syllable words instead of three syllables, when appropriate, orone word instead of two or three words to say the same thing. The best way to relax when giving a speech is to testories - about our life, our family, our work, travel, unusual experiences, or anything interesting that we haveread about. Good speakers are good story tellers. They tell stories that support their message. Let us use Humoto make our audiences smile.

Once we make people laugh they would be interested to listen and then we can tell them almost anything. Ipeople are entertained and amused, we can slip in a few nuggets of information. But if our speech is deathly dull, noamount of information will make it a great speech. The speech must be such that it holds the listeners spellboundand that even those who have not hear will desire to hear.

To sum-up, English language involves FOUR skills. 1. Listening 2. Speaking 3. Reading 4. Writing(LSRW). These four skills should be systematically drilled to achieve efficient communication. Give sufficienpractice to these four skills. When you are sincere in practicing active listening and comprehensive reading, theother two skills, speaking and writing will sprout in you, simultaneously as the “ LEAVES TO THE TREE”.

Majority of educated community in our country, carries an inferior view about our people in the past

Culture, Tradition, System etc, ever since colonial period, rulers framed various regulations and education

systems in such a way that we form a guilt and complex on these areas.

Ancient Innovations:

Though we got freedom from Colonial forces, we have not yet freed from slavery thought process and

the stream of inferiority complex about our Traditions, Values and Faith system etc,. Most of our History books

are written by foreign authors, without focusing the divinity and inherent nature of the soil. Many of the fact

were not revealed to Indian historians too, as a result, to days teachers and students are forced to teach and

study false data in the history, and become permanently ignorant about realities during the rest of their lives.

Students study Pythagoras Theorem, who was said to be the founder of “ Pie “, but in fact, Rish

Bhowdhayanar in 6th Century had invented “ Pie “system of Mathematics. Experts from UK had endorsed

this truth in 1999. The theorem is known as “ Pythagoras Theorem “ and not as “ Bhowdhayanar Theorem

Similarly Algebra, Trigonometry and Calculus went from Bharath to all other countries, but not many of us

know.

During 11th Century, Quadratic Equation was found out by another Rishi Sridhar Acharya. All of us know

that Radio was invented by Marconi, but US Organization IEEE has stated that Dr. Jagadish Chandra

Bose, a Scientist from Calcutta, had designed the Wireless Equipment. In this regard, we can recollect the

conversation between Sister Nivedida, disciple of Swam Vivekanandha and Dr. Jagadish Chandra Bose

when the later had made the equipment. Sister asked Dr. Chandra Bose “Why don’t you patent you

invention of Wireless Communication? “ Dr. Chandra Bose replied that God has given him knowledge, and

all the glories of our inventions and discoveries go to him, (as our modern days musician A. R. Rahman

stated, who had bagged two Ascar Awards.) He said, “How can I claim the Knowledge as my own? How

can I patent as my invention?

Aryabhatta had found “ ZERO”, before the world started using the “Zero “ which is the base for all the

mathematical calculations. Albert Einstein had commented that Bharat had taught the world to add and

subtract, and the world is indebted to Bharath

Some more we can see: World ‘s first University was established in 700B.C. in Thakshashila, where 10500

students studied, having 60 branches and courses – over 50,000 books were existing and thousands o

students studied. Islam King Allah dinGilji had demolished the University by lighting Fire.

“STAGE CONFIDENCE IN THIRUKKURAL”

World famous journal Forbes says that “ Sanskrit “is the most suitable language for Computer, which

complete in all respects. This is not a simple view, and it has been proved also.

Ayurvedam is the first medical Science, originated in Bharath.

The ‘Science of Ocean Travel’ was found out in Bharath, which was called “ NavaGathi”, later change

into “ Navegat, Navigation”.

Gemology Institute of USA says that Bharath was supplying the requirement of Gems up to 1896.

The first Dam in the world was constructed in Gujarat for cultivation.

Bharath Rishi Sushruthar, who lived 2600 years before. Was the first SURGEON, who conducte

surgery for his colleagues , such as Ceasarean, Cataract, Urinary Stones etc, Anesthesia was us

during these days.

Truth about ‘the Earth rotates the Sun’, and ‘Earth takes 365.258756484 days’ was invented,

BhaskarAcharya. Scientist Mr. Smart declared that these facts were found out by him during 5

Century.

Mr. Marker Devine , a Western Scientist says that Bharath is th Cradle of all Languages, mother

history, Puranas and Culture.

How many of us know these facts about Dhakshasheel University, and Nalandha University? Non

of us know that we excelled in Education even before 1000 plus years. We all uniformly feel that Evolutioof Education came from Western Countries only. None of these details are appearing in Text Books als

Currently Nalanda University (also known as Nalanda International University) is located in Rajgir, ne

Nalanda, Bihar, India. The University began its first academic session on September 1, 2014. with

students including five women. Initially set up in temporary facilities in Rajgir, a modern campus is expecte

to be finished by 2020. Nalanda is exclusively a post-graduate and doctoral school.

Conclusion :

The Joy and Pleasure of freedom can be enjoyed 100%, only when we realize the glories of o

Ancestors, heritage and richness of our Sages and Rishis, who had humbly contributed to the communi

with out propagating their names. We will acquire the highest level of confidence and courage, to face t

global challenges – the right understanding of our traditional values, correct history and culture.

Yes, History to be explored – World is indebted to Bharath.Page 10

“He was a great scientist who contributed immensely in the field of science and technology as well as space. I havlost a marg darshark. He was a source of inspiration for the whole country, particularly the youth. Even in his la

days, he remained connected”.

- Hon. Prime Minister of India on Dr. Kalam

Born in 1931 in Dhanushkodi, India, Dr. A.P.J. Abdul Kalam joined India's defense department after graduating fro

the Madras Institute of Technology. He was a central figure in the development of the country's nuclear capabilitie

and was hailed as a national hero after a series of successful tests in 1998. Dr. Kalam served as India's presiden

for one term, and died of a heart attack on July 27, 2015.

Early Years

Avul Pakir Jainulabdeen Abdul Kalam was born into a Muslim family on October 15, 1931, on the island

Dhanushkodi off the south eastern coast of India. He developed an early fascination with flight by watching bird

which developed into an interest in aeronautics after he saw a newspaper article about a British fighter plane.

Despite his modest beginnings – his dad built and rented boats – Kalam was a bright student who showed promis

in science and mathematics. He attended St. Joseph's College, and went on to earn a degree in aeronautic

engineering from the Madras Institute of Technology.

Ten Facts must know about Dr. APJ

A.P.J. Abdul Kalam grew up in poverty and distributed newspapers as a young boy to contribute to

father’s meager income.

He was a protégé of the great Indian scientist Dr. Vikram Sarabhai who guided him and gave him valuable advi

He always faced the press following failed tests at ISRO and accepted responsibility for his mistakes but nev

claimed the credit for any of the massive successes achieved at the organization.

He was the first bachelor to become the president and occupy Rashtrapati Bhawan.

Kalam was the third President of India to have been honored with a Bharat Ratna before being elected to the offi

of President.

He was known to write his own thank you cards with personalized messages in his own handwriting.

He was a scholar of Thirukkural (a classic of couplets or Kurals) and was known to quote at least one couple

most of his speeches.

He had a keen interest in literature and wrote poems in his native Tamil.

A practicing Muslim, he was also well versed with Hindu traditions and read the Bhagavad Gita.




Rise to the Presidency

His hopes of becoming a fighter pilot was dashed when he narrowly missed out on a spot with the Indian Air Force. Kala

instead joined the Defense Research and Development Organization (DRDO) as a senior scientific assistant in 1958. Afte

moving to the newly formed Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO) in 1969, he was named project director of th

SLV-III, the first satellite launch vehicle designed and produced on Indian soil.

Returning to the DRDO as director in 1982, Kalam implemented the Integrated Guided Missile Development Program. H

then became the senior scientific adviser to India's defense minister in 1992, a position he used to campaign for th

development of nuclear tests. Kalam was a key figure in the May 1998 Pokhran-II tests, in which five nuclear devices we

detonated in the Rajasthan Desert. Although the tests resulted in condemnation and economic sanctions from other wor

powers, Kalam was hailed as a national hero for his stanch defense of the country’s security. In 2002, India's ruling Nation

Democratic Alliance helped Kalam win an election against Lakshmi Sahgal and become India's 11th president, a large

ceremonial post. Known as the People's President, Kalam set a goal of conducting 500,000 one-on-one meetings with youn

people over the course of his five-year term. His immense popularity led to him being nominated by MTV for a Youth Icon o

the Year award in 2003 and 2006.

After leaving office in 2007, Kalam became a visiting professor at several universities. He formed the "What Can I Giv

Movement" in 2011 with the goal of creating a compassionate society, and in 2012, his efforts to improve healthcare led to th

release of a tablet for medical personnel to use in remote areas.

Death and Legacy

On July 27, 2015, Kalam suffered a massive heart attack while lecturing at the Indian Institute of Management, Shillong an

subsequently died at the age of 83. Kalam was laid to rest on July 30 with full state honors in his native Tamil Nadu. In hon

of the scientist and former president, the southeast Indian state government of Tamil Nadu created a "Dr. A.P.J. Abdul Kala

Award," which recognizes exceptional individuals who promote the sciences, students and humanities. The government ha

also established Kalam's birthday (October 15) as "Youth Renaissance Day." Discussion about building a large-scamemorial at his burial site is underway. Among his many accolades, including honorary doctorates from 40 universities, h

was granted the Padma Bhushan (1981), the Padma Vibhushan (1990) and the Bharat Ratna (1997) — India's highe

civilian awards — for his contributions in modernizing government defense technology. He also wrote several books, includin

the autobiography Wings of Fire in 1999

A great fan of this writer who inspires the youth with his thought provoking words, I recently read the book “Making Ind

Awesome” by Chetan Bhagat. I would aptly say the writer was awesome in penning down how India could be madawesome. This article is a small review of the book that inspired me and brought to my highlight the various happenings

India that trigger emotion for action with care for this great nation. Making India Awesome is a work of non-fiction, a uniqu

collection of essays addressed to Indians who care and want to make a difference. Bhagat tells us that 80% of Indians don

care about politics or government. Within the balance 20%, 80% are permanently aligned with a side, say with Modi or th

Congress Party and will never criticise their side. Therefore, Bhagat’s essays are addressed towards the 20% within the 20

who are non-aligned and care. Bhagat calls them the “Caring Objective Indians”.

The writer expresses his consent for gay rights and empowering women as essential pillars for development. He wan

men to support their wives’ careers’ the way Mary Kom’s husband Onler Kom has done. He has stated seventee

commandments for Modi towards path of development. On analysing the "Modi effect", Bhagat says that Modi’s success

largely due to luck, since he only had to deal with the not-so-smart or effective Rahul Gandhi. BCCL’s monopoly an

stranglehold over Indian cricket is questioned. Bhagat has a number of pieces addressed to Indian Muslims and thoug

Bhagat simplifies issues, on the whole his advice is sound. The best of the lot in Making India Awesome are two chapters o

admissions to Delhi University (which could apply to any other prestigious college’s admission process) and the pressure

score high marks. Bhagat speaks from the heart and makes very valid points. Bhagat points out that the creation

Telangana was a mistake and that it does not make sense to break up states into more efficient administrative units. Whe

advising the Congress, Bhagat asks them to weed out party members who are old, rusted and tarnished. Funnily, Bhagat tel

us that India’s bureaucrats understand the system well and can fix the system, but according to Bhagat, Indian babu’s don

have “guts”!

Bhagat manages to discuss Godhra without offending or blaming anyone or adding any value. On India’s northeast, h

says that every time one visits the Northeast, the locals beg us for attention and to be treated as Indians. ‘The Northeaste

people are beautiful and attractive. They also have slightly different, more oriental physical features as compared to the re

of us.’ Trust Bhagat to make matters simple. Bhagat must be reminded of the fact that many parts of the Northeast hav

resisted integration with independent India because historically they have had very little to do with what’s now called India an

because they are very different in terms of looks and culture. When arguing for the replacement of Devnagri with the Roma

script, Bhagat calls himself a Hindi lover. On the whole, Bhagat writes in simple English, it is not beautiful or lyrical prose, b

it is easy to read. It gives a bird’s eye view of Indian political and economic scenario with remarks to be thought of. The boo

is a crux or synopsis of the recent happenings in India that have been simplified with remarks into a nut shell by the author.

Making India Awesome

94 per cent of professors at a large university believe that they are better than the average professor.

Roughly speaking, losing something makes you twice as miserable as gaining the same thing makes yo

happy.

People with low self-esteem tend to humiliate others. Subjects who were told that the results of their IQ tes

were poor expressed more national and religious prejudices, than those who reported higher results.

People sincerely believe that their negative opinions about others are truthful and have no connection with themand their self-confidence. In fact, the humiliation of others helps them restore their own self-esteem.

People tend to commit immoral acts or do not fulfill someone’s request for help, if no effort is needed and the

do not have to refuse a person directly. However, more people behave “as expected” if they have to take a mor

decision in front of someone.

People who lied, betrayed someone or committed other immoral act, begin to perceive what is good or bad i

another way.

Attractive and honest appearance can easily be misleading. People tend to trust appearance more tha

sincerity.

When people feel they have no control over what is happening, they tend to see non-existent patterns

unrelated pictures and believe in conspiracy theories.

People regret quick decisions, even if the results are satisfying. Not the actual time allotted for the decisio

matters, but the feeling that the time was enough.

Not all risks are the same. The same person can fearlessly jump with a parachute, but be afraid of his boss. O

to train tigers, but feel embarrassed when talking to a pretty woman.

Boredom has a bright side. Bored people are often looking for ways to do good things as the entertainme

bores them and does not bring meaning to their lives.

What is grammar?

Grammar is the science which deals with the rules and principles which facilitate the correct use of

language namely the spoken use and the written use English grammar is concerned with how sentences an

formed. In a typical English sentence we can see the two most principles of grammar the arrangement of items an

the structure of items.

For example, let us consider the following sentence

‘I gave my sister as weather for her birthday’

Acceptable and unacceptable forms:

Grammar is concerned with acceptable and unacceptable forms and the distinction of meaning these form

create. The fact that ‘sweater’ means knitted outer garment work on the upper part of the body for ‘warmth’ and th

‘sister’ means Female sibling are matters of vocabulary (Lexis), but the distinction between present and past on

and more than one subject and object possession and non possession etc., are matters of grammar. In eve

language, some forms are acceptable and other are not acceptable. So in English we can create arrangements

our example sentence which are not acceptable either syntactically are morphologically.

Consider the following unacceptable sentence:

(1) I my sister gave a sweater for birthday.

(2) Give I my sister a sweaters for his Birthday.

(3) I gives my sisters sweater a for her birthday.

The above three sentence are evidentially unacceptable, incomprehensible and incommunicable.

The four language skills-LSRW:

The almost universally expressed needs of a learner in the 21st century are enrichment of vocabulary, corre

pronunciation and the acquisition of the four language skills namely Listening skills, Speaking skills, Reading skills

and Writing skills shortly known as LSRW. “Necessity is the mother of invention” is a popular proverb. We ca

say,most appropriately in this world of competitions- “Necessity is the mother of effective English Communication

KNOWLEDGE Ms. D. Lourdhu Mary





Sundar Pichai narrated a story to encourage the youth of India. He insisted through Cockroach theory fodeveloping an individual.

At a restaurant, a cockroach suddenly flew from somewhere and sat on a lady. The lady started screaming withpanic face, and started jumping to get rid of cockroach. The lady managed to push the cockroach away, where landed on another lady and again drama continues. The waiter rushed to rescue and the cockroach fell upon thewaiter. The waiter stood firm, grabbed the cockroach and threw it away. The question arises, why was the waitenot disturbed? He handled it to near perfection, with any chaos.

It is not the cockroach, but the inability of the people to handle the disturbance caused by the cockroach, thatdisturbed the people. It’s not the traffic jam on the road that disturbs us, but our inability to handle the disturbancecaused by the traffic jam disturbs us.

The moral of the story is “It’s our reaction to the problem that creates chaos in our life”. It has been understood thatwe should not react in life, and should always respond.

Reactions are instinctive, where as responses are well thought.

Even though Tamil Cinema has been changing its dimensions and colorfulness from time to time, jewels movies were keep coming, which is worthwhile to think about and cherish. ‘Sivakavi’ is one of the movies of actoM. K. Thyagaraja Bhagavathar, got released in 1943, which gave an unforgettable value, a true Kavi’s heartfewords, has powerful impact and it will never become false at any time. As a role ‘Poyya Mozhippulavar’, this valuwas conveyed in that Movie, which was enliven by followers like Kannadhaasan, Pattukkottai Kalyana SundaramVaali etc, whose songs were source of inspiration, solution to problems and ever motivating.

‘Parasakthi’(1952) highlighted the value, the temples should not be the abode of wrong people, and in the namof God, many fakes are hunting the innocent people in this country, and they are to be identified and punished. Thmovie turned the lives of artists who had acted and penned the dialogue, namely Mr. Sivaji Ganesan anMr. KarunaNidhi, both of them touched the heights of their life.

Director A. Bhimsingh’s movies starting with ‘Pa’ series, , Bhagappirivinai(1959 ) Padikkadha Methai (1960PaasaMalar, Paalum Pazhamum(1961 ), Pazhani (1965)and many more. Joint family values, affection of brothe

Thiruvilayaadal (1965 ), Karnan (1964 ) , Thiruvarutchelvar (1967 Thirumaal Perumai (1968 ), were the puranic stories depicting the value of ‘Bhakthi’ and the beauty of our Tamlanguage.

Sridhar was a great director, who was considered as modern director, gave high value movies such aKalyaanapparisu (1959 ), Sumai thaanghi(1962 ), Nenjil Ore Aalayam (1962 ), Nenjam Marappathillai (1963Sacrifice for siblings, rebirth values, true love and its continuation etc, were the values conveyed in these movieK.

In 1992, ‘Vaaname Ellai’ got released with a solid idea that the present day youth community is frustrated wiconflicts and disappointments, as a result, they are forced to suicidal efforts ( 4 youth ) . Appearance of a physicalchallenged person, Mr. Gandhi Nathan, who is running an Orphanage enlightens the youth that life is precious anwe have to realize it and contribute to the society to maximum extent. Karutthamma (1994 ) was a film made bDirector Bharathi Raja, beautifully outlined the killings of female child, which is ever existing social problem Salem and Dharmapuri districts.

Craze on the job at foreign countries to be avoided and we have to be cautious with fake agencies, who arexploiting public, especially at the lower end. This moral was depicted at the movie ‘ Vetrikkodi kattu’(2000Pandavar Bhoomi ( 2001 ) conveyed the message that ‘ Every one of us has a ‘birth place’ which we describe a‘Native place’- create an affinity towards it, visit them frequently as many times as possible, celebrate it as ‘sacreplace’. The emotional bondage created to wards our native place leads to ‘patriotism’ to wards our country, laton. One of the highest values ‘ Hands that help is holier than the lips that prey’ is driven by the 2003 movie AnbSivam. Nasar and Madhavan had reflected the actual & live characters , whom we meet in our day-to day life an

Kamal Hasan , had distinguished how an ideal and true loving person should be. Many movies came on Mothesentiment, but Director Cheran had expressed Father sentiment so beautifully, driving a very strong idea that evefather does an abundance of sacrifice to mould his children, this value could be seen in ‘ ThavamaaThavamirunthu ( 2005 ). Mr. Radha Mohan and Prakash Raj had jointly shown the emotions of differently ablepeople, especially how they enjoy music. Kamal Haasan’s Hare Ram said the need for stopping violence. Hlatest movie talked about the value of eternity of living ( mrithunjayam – deathlessness ) in Utthama Villain ( 2015

Also he had hailed the art of Villuppaattu and the Karnataka’s ‘Thaayam’ .

Latest record break movie Bhagubhali (2015 ) picturised the war scenes, and made us to visualize howMahabharatha war would had been fought in those days. Rudrama Devi (2015 )shows how the woman we

treated in society in 13 th Century and how they were denied for leadership positions in those period. One of thsimplest movie Kaakka Muttai (2015), conveyed the value how small incidents are enlarged and focused in front modern society. We can continue this value listing in movies, but we have to conclude also. Instead of bluntdenying the movies in total as ‘ no good , bad , waste ‘and so on, we can analyze and derive a good value out ofquality movie. This will encourage those movie makers, to prepare quality movie for society. Whenever we havleisure time and feel to watch a movie, it is worthwhile to get the CD or down load these from U-Tube, enjoy thmovies and learn the morals and values, which are relevant to youth community, in particular.
