Payyambalam Beach

It is an emerging hot tourist spot in (God’s own country) Kerala, which  is one of the must seen ten tourists spots in the world. Now the most popular beach in Kerala is Kovalam. I have visited Kovalam twice. I agree, it’s really beautiful. But I think, Payyambalm Beach does have many qualities and features than Kovalam. The first feature that one notice here is its cleanliness and the second one is its calmness and the marvelous sunset.

me and daughter @ payyambalam

I hope in the near future Payyambalm will be the hottest beach destiny for the tourists in Kerala. It’s situated in Kannur district, about 3km away from kannur town. You can also have some time pass at the park aside of this beach. But don’t expect much here except one famous sculpture ‘AMMA’, of Great sculptor Kanayi Kunhiraman.

'Amma'

Valentines day celebration now had become an obligation or ritual. I think it had become mechanical or artificial. Let me say that, it is the least romantic day in an year!!! On this day people ran about buying and collecting gifts to exchange between because that is what everyone else is doing. I’m sad to say that this celebration had lost its heart.

Actually valentines day celebration is the celebration of love. All those who love and all those who have love can celebrate it and that’s its beauty. But one of the drawbacks I find in this celebration is, couples and grown up people are not so interested in valentines day. They feel Valentines day celebration is only for teenage and youth. But I don’t agree with this. Last day I happened to read how a lady celebrated valentines day with her kids and husband.

When her husband came home from an extended business trip, the first thing he saw, when he came through the door, was I LOVE YOU spelled out with the kids big plastic blocks on the floor just inside the front door. When he went to take a shower there was another message on the wall, I MISSED YOU, spelled out with foam letters that stick to the wall when damp. And on the refrigerator was another message made with the magnetic words. I think this is something great. So please don’t miss your chance to celebrate this valentines day with your husband, wife and kids.

Destructed Nature

This is a real example of man’s alacrity; This photo was taken during a usual walk around my village. Actually the scene hurt me a lot. People are unaware of the serious impact of this kind of vigorous exploitation of natural resources. In childhood, I remember that my village was full of hills and Paddy fields. The local names like Panthottam(Garden), Mottammal(Hilly areas), PunchaVayal(Paddy Field) etc itself reflected its geographical richness.  But now all these beautiful scenes are vanishing. Man is encroaching everywhere diverting ‘green nature into brown’. Let me quote the recent comment from the Green Bench, a High Court Bench of my state hearing all environment- related cases, “nature is raped by man” .

Normally we speak only about mental Intelligence, but I think rather there are some, like physical Intelligence performed by athletes, musical intelligence performed by musicians and artistic intelligence performed by artists in various fields are also relevant. IQ Test helps us to find those who are average from those who are advanced in intelligence and also find those who need special care. Because intelligence potential of each one is unique.

IQ stands for ‘Intelligence Quotient‘, meaning how smart you are. It’s supposed to give you an idea of how well you’ll do at a certain profession or how well you’ll perform academically. The whole idea of the IQ test is to measure the potential of your brains using problems posed to you on paper.

Try an IQ test @ Binbrain Exam. We have decent collection of questions in IQ Test category. You can also try Aptitude and Personality Tests there. The average IQ score there is 5. If you’ve taken an IQ test and scored 7, this means you’re a lot more intelligent than an average person. Any score less than 5 indicates your intelligence level doesn’t match up to the average.

As an employer, I prefer to conduct an IQ test always to have a better understanding of the applicant’s intelligence. A high score would indicate the candidate is well suited for the position. But some problems do there for this IQ test , It doesn’t measure your ‘Emotional Quotient‘ or EQ ? I think an intelligent employer need to sort out this problem. Means , an employer too need some kind of EQ test to measure their such capacity, ha ha ha !!!!!!!!!

is a medicine, can cure you. Music is heavenly, can bless you. Music is like a winter, can blossom you. And can give you happiness, make you lighter, can inspire you, and fill you with energy and… and….. I can write pages with like comments when think about music. I don’t usually have a habit of listening albums or music compositions. But if a composition really catches me, like to hear it again and again and it gives me some kind of positive inspiration and happiness.

It’s strange that I’m not a fan of great singers or music legends in the world, though  never dislike them. But some compositions really beat me with their beauty, and ‘Toss The Feathers’ is like one. It’s actually an old version of music. But I really like it and a great fan. To me something seems ‘best’ when it pull  someone or something towards them, by the qualities they have, especially positive and admirable ones. Hope you too will like it. If you feel its love comment me back, ….. want to hear,….. what you think of it. Bye…..

I want to see it in your eyes

I want to feel it in your body

An erotic passion in disguise.”

This is a beautiful anonymous poem on sunset. I think sunset are always poetic. A mood of sunset can create a poem even from a man with least poetic taste. Last year I just happened to have two accidental snaps of a beautiful sunset. These photos were taken with my mobile phone camera. But when these photos were uploaded to my PC, I was excited of its beauty. Believe me; these photos were taken in between 10  minutes from the same place in an evening walk through my village side in Kerala, The Gods Own Country. You might have seen excellent photos of sunset than this. But, to me these meant something marvelous.

What do you think on my photos? I wait to hear from you. Please make a comment.

whh!!! God is really Great !

”It’s all nonsense of course, but in the best possible way; pure Hollywood entertainment at it’s best. Take the misses or take your mates, see it at the cinema and see it in 3D. This is, after all, what cinema was made for.” I think this is what to say all about  ”AVATAR“. It’s an American 3-D science fiction epic film written and directed by James Cameron. This film focuses on an epic conflict on Pandora, an inhabited Earth-sized moon of Polyphemus. The film’s title refers to an avatar, a 3-D representation of a real person in a virtualized world.

The story takes us to AD 2154, where the character Jake Sully, a former US marine who was wounded and paralyzed from the waist. Jake is selected to participate in the Avatar program (due to his genes being identical to those of his late twin brother, Tony, who was supposed to go), which will enable him to walk. He travels to Pandora, a lush and sentient-inhabited satellite of Polyphemus, 4.3 light years from Earth. Pandora is filled with incredible life forms, some beautiful, many terrifying. This world is also home to the Na’vi, a sentient humanoid race, who are considered primitive, yet are more physically capable than humans. They live in harmony with their world.

As humans encroach deeper into Pandora’s forests in search of valuable minerals to remedy a crisis on Earth, the Na’vi unleash their formidable warrior abilities to defend their threatened existence. Jake has unwittingly been recruited to become part of this encroachment. Since humans are unable to breathe the air on Pandora, they have created genetically-bred human-Na’vi hybrids known as Avatars. On Pandora, through his Avatar body, Jake will be able to walk again. Sent deep into Pandora’s jungles as a scout for the soldiers that will follow, Jake encounters many of Pandora’s beauties and dangers. There he meets a young Na’vi female, Neytiri. Over time, Jake integrates himself into the Na’vi clan, and begins to fall in love with Neytiri. As a result, Jake finds himself caught between the military-industrial forces of Earth and the Na’vi, forcing him to choose sides in an epic battle that will decide the fate of Pandora.

Anyone with an interest in films and filmmaking will appreciate what writer-director James Cameron has achieved. “Avatar” is not such a fresh story. Actually it’s quite old: boy meets girl, adapts to the ways of her tribe, must choose between the girl and his mission.What is astonishing is the look of “Avatar”. Cameron and crew, with hundreds of millions of dollars in CGI tricks, have created another world: the planet Pandora, occupied by the Na’vi, nine-foot blue human-hybrids with tails who share the forest with a fantastical collection of creatures, plants, and insects.

I know some people  struggling hard due to over body weight. They put themselves into agony by making severe fasting and vigorous exercises. But all these works without a proper guidance or a systematic approach do any good I think. So if you are looking for a new and effective way of losing weight or tired of sweating for hours on a treadmill without seeing any appreciable results, believe me , there is a way to lose weight in a healthy manner….. YOGA.

I hope some of you may be very familiar with Yoga. Anyway I shall give a very brief description to it, for those who are unfamiliar with the word. “Yoga is a healing system of theory and practice. It is a combination of breathing exercises, physical postures, and meditation that has been practiced for more than 5,000 years and is a form of a spiritual practice in India.”  It’s true that people normally don’t consider yoga for weight loss, but take a moment to think about it. You will invariably find that people who have been practicing yoga regularly are fit and lean, never fat.

Yoga is one of the very effective exercises for weight loss because it works on many different levels at the same time. At the end of the day, yoga aims to bring your body and mind to a natural state, where your entire being functions as one, with full efficiency, and in perfect harmony with the rest of the universe. Let’s take a look at some of the yoga poses for weight loss.

Surya Namaskara: The Surya Namaskara or Sun Salutation is a series of 12 exercises that are performed in a sequential manner. These 12 exercises not only strengthen your body, they also help to boost your metabolism and make your body burn fat faster than ever.

Dwichkrika Asana: The Dwichkrika Asana or Prone Cycling Pose helps to strengthen your abdominal regions and also helps in burning fat. Just a couple of minutes of performing this yoga exercise for weight loss can work wonders on your midsection.

Ardha Hala Asana: The Ardha Hala Asana or Half Plough Pose is one of the best yoga asanas for weight loss. This asana helps to stimulate the digestive system and boosts your metabolism. It is also one of the best exercises to lose that stubborn fat that accumulates on the lower abdomen.

Pawan Mukta Asana: This is also an excellent exercise to stimulate the digestive system and one of the more popular yoga poses for weight loss. This amazing exercise not only tones your midsection, but also helps to dispel any gas that is trapped in the intestines.

Last week we went to one of my colleagues’ house to participate in religious function called Vellattam. Velllattam is a form of Theyyam, a very rich cultural dance or invocation generally performed in front of the village shrines or in the houses in Kerala.

There was no stage or curtain and other arrangements for the performance. When we reached his house the theyyam artist was doing his make up. There are different patterns of face-painting. Mostly primary and secondary colors are applied with contrast for face painting. It had effected certain stylization also.  It was very interesting to see the way he wears his ornaments, which were seen like of a fairy tale.

The dancer along with drummers recites the particular ritual song, which describes the myths and legends of the particular ritual song, which describes the myths, and legends. This performance is a combination of playing of musical instruments, vocal recitation, dance and strange makeup and costumes. The stage-practices of Theyyam and its ritualistic observations make it one of the fascinating theatrical arts of Kerala.
