The Case of Changing Times 30-03-2015

काळ बदलते का, लोक॑ बदलतातका ?

The other day – a couple of months back, we were travelling in the car early in the morning to attend a wedding in a marriage hall on TTK Road. As we came out of Nanganallur on to GST Road I could see an auto going a small distance ahead of us with two small poles on top of the front side with ballons and festoons fluttering in between and two tricolour flags on either side with loud music clips. No other auto rickshaw was tagging along. I wondered as Srirangam (it was a bye election time there) was far away and why this sort of celebration in Chennai by this auto driver. As we overtook the auto I could see that the flags were not any party flag but our National Tri-colour with the Ashok Chakra in the middle. It took me some time to realise that it was Republic Day and that I missed attending the Association meeting to celebrate Republic Day and instead chose to attend the wedding which I could not give a miss. My memories went back to the fifties and sixties. On the Republic Day, Independence Day and Bapu’s birthday which had been declared as National Holidays, there would be celebration mood alround on the first two and prayers everywhere on Bapu’s birthday. Meetings would be held in Schools and Educational institutions which were very few in numbers and dignitaries would unfurl the national flag and deliver lectures commemorating the freedom struggle and single out leaders who fought for independence. Processions would be taken out. All shops would be closed including eateries. As usual my father would go to Tiruvarur and on such days I would not accompany him as Venkataramana Café on Ellaiyamman Koil Street in Vijayapuram would remain closed those three days. Whenever I was in Pallavapuram during vacation I used to accompany my father to Tiruvarur just for eating some snacks and coffee in Venkataramana Café, later on Vasan Café and Seetharama Vilas on Nagapattinam Road. I normally used to take Wheat Halwa with a few pieces of Kharaa Sev as Pakka Vadhyam (side dish) and strong coffee (even in my child hood – like father like son) but would never opt for Gulab Jamun. Gulab Jamun those days and in those parts of the State was not in the shape of a ball as is these days but would be in a shape instantly reminding me of going westwards in the villages in the mornings and the very sight of it would be sickening, as far as I was concerned. On the contrary wheat Halwa would be very tasty, very soft but one or two pieces would slip down the throat even before I could relish. To come back to the National Holidays – the observance of Independence Day, Republic Day and Bapu’s birthday continued to enjoy popular support till the sixties whereafter slowly the national feeling diminished. On Bapu’s birthday, in our Elementary School students would be asked to bring a quantity of Pottukkadalai (bhune huwe chane ki dhaal), powdered Jaggery (Naattu Sakkarai or Vellach chakkarai), a couple of agar bathies, banana, etc. which would formally be offered to the photograph of Bapu and then distributed to the students whereafter the School would be closed for the day. Almost on all Fridays this would be done but School would continue to function. Mostly these items would be from our house only. Now these National Holidays are remembered only because they are Holidays for Educational Institutions, Government offices, etc., etc. and nobody even thinks about the sacrifices of our countrymen who laid down their lives in a bloody effort to obtain freedom for the country though ‘Ahimsa’ was also the word of the day. How many people lost their lives! How many people were butchered! How many were languishing in Jails! Now hardly anybody recognises the relentless march towards independence by hundreds of thousands of Indians. Now they just declare that all TASMAC shops would remain closed on these days! They announce it in advance so that people can buy in advance, store and consume it on such days! Shops continue to function and so are other business establishments. National fervour is missing. And here in Chennai I see an auto driver remembering the Republic Day and celebrating it! Hats off to him. Tail Piece:- The marriage I attended went off well, the breakfast and lunch were super. I learnt the caterers were Bengaluru and had been arranged by the groom’s party from Bengaluru!.

The Case of Changing Times 05-01-2015

काळ बदलते का, लोक॑ बदलतातका ?

After completing fifth standard in Sri Ramakrishna Aided Elementary School next door at Veedhividangan, I moved to Board High School at Nannilam for sixth standard which meant I had to commute 4 plus miles either way. I had to cover the distance either on foot or in the bullock cart which would be at my disposal when the bullocks are not required for agricultural purposes. We were ten boys from my village and all the other boys were from agri families. They would miss classes when they were required to work in fields. One day as we were on our way to School, the boys stopped at a forlorn place and sat down. A boy, Veeraiyan, pulled out a cigarette and a match box from his pocket and announced, 'Each of us will take a puff, those who do not smoke will be enemy (as per parlance in Schools those days) and nobody will talk to them'. I refused to touch the cigarette or smoke and was treated as an enemy; they did not speak to me. I had the problem of walking alone to the School. The very thought scared me as there were three cremation grounds on the way - two were open burning ghats and the third one a burial ground. I was so much scared of these three spots that as I aporoached the spots I would start running with closed eyes without looking back. The boys could not persist their no-talk with me as my help was required by them for doing home work and clearing doubts. Those were the days when people had a fancy for cigarette (in villages it was beedi or churut). When I was in Delhi, I was working in Foreign Post . Nothing foreign, it was a Post Office handling letters and parcels sent from India to foreign countries and vice versa. I was manning the Diplomatic counter for about four years. Top diplomats of foreign missions would come persobally to collect their parcels after customs examination. They would present cigarette packets and bottles of drinks. We had been instructed that if a first secretary or second secretary of an embassy or High Commission offer some gifts, we should accept it as otherwise they would feel offended. I had no use for them and top officers of my office would vie with one another for them. In Delhi winter most of the people could be seen smoking. Then the awakening came that cigarette smoking was injurious to health, tobacco kills, lead to cancer, etc. and smoking habit declined. But now we see young school boys smoking just for the fun of it. Added to it is the drug menace, gutka, paan parag and its brothers and sisters, leave alone the liquor drinking habits of people. We see government selling liquor unmindful of the harmful effects on the people. If people are not health conscious, how can we achieve 'Swasth Bharat' which would remain just a rhetoric what if Tatas or Birlas or anybody proclaimed it!

काळ बदलते का, लोक॑ बदलतातका ?

Araichcha maavudhan, pona dhadavai sariya araipadalai, ippo marupadiyum lesa araikkakamnudhaan.... Ungalukkuththaan kashtam. Those were the days when marriage, particularly girls' marriages were gargantuan tasks. Finding matches was not a very big problem. First to find a suitable groom, then sorting out terms and conditions laid down by the boy's side, fixing a wedding hall (this also was not so much of a problem though there were not many halls as at present), fix a cook, achar/purohit, etc. were to be done carefully in advance. Preparations would start four five months before the wedding date. Purchase of textiles/jewellery for the bride, for the groom, his parents and the inner circle relatives, material to be gifted to relatives and close friends, material required by the purohit, provisions and vegetables, milk, etc. for cooking and all items have to be taken to the wedding hall the evening prior to the janavasam day. A car for the janavasam, nadhaswaram, flowers required for the marriage have all to be meticulously planned and organised and get ready to receive the groom's party on the morning of the janavasam day. Special efforts to be taken to please each and every member of the party. There definitely would be one or two mrmbers in the groon's party whose main intent would be to create some problem claiming 'this is not ok, that is not ok' and they have to be tackled. The bride's parents can heave a sigh of relief only after they see of the newly weds with the groom's party. Both money power and man power were essential. Video was yet to show up. Only one photographer would be there to cover the entire proceedings who would not block anybody's view from the happenings on the stage. But now? It is a tricky issue to find a suitable match. Fixing a wedding hall is equally difficult. This done, we have to approach the right person to conduct the marriage, In engineering parlance, there is a concept, 'from scratch to commissioning'. Likewise, the marriage contractor would offer 'kolam to kattusaadham' concept and would meet everybody's requirenents, why they can even arrange wedding halls and other things as well. If we have money power it is more than sufficient, manpower required is minimal. Talking about photographers and videographers, they will be many in number and would try to block the view as to what is happening on the stage, we may have to see on the TV set only. Not long ago, in one wedding, the Purohit advised the photo/video men not to block the views of the people, 'I will arrange action replay for you'. True to his words, after every event he did that, including mangalya dharanam (asking the groom to pose as if he was tying the thali), sapthapathi, etc.! Kattu saadham is dabba saadham these days. The plastic containers would look much better than perhaps the contents!
