A DEEPER THOUGHT ABOUT TWITTER AS A MEDIA TOOL

This is all about my experience, analysis and my opinion about twitter. First of all let me differentiate Twitter and Facebook:

Twitter	Facebook
Its a media & social networking tool not only with known friends.	Mostly with known friends and apt for known environment
Mostly specific acceptance in not required.	Acceptance is mandatory
The way they tweet gets appreciated by reweet , reply.	They can like, share, comment
Mostly privacy is very liberally	Privacy setting is very much strict.
Top celebrities can be easily followed	Very narrow chance
Both entertainment and learning is possible	Very lean chance for learning, very much entertaining
Words limitation is challenging	No such limitation

According to my knowledge, In early days of twitter, I have followed so many big names in sports, film industry, media celebrities etc... I never thought of sharing my views unless so excited about the topic. Being sachin fan, I started twitter when his name created some headlines about twitter. Then also I followed twitter as an informative tool than an entertainment tool.

It was a new experience to read some information from anyone where it was rare to read or hear from any media source. Here, I viewed twitter only as an informative tool than a time pass.

It was until I have started following Tamil twitter where totally crowded with lot of creative people who were using this as a platform to throw their thoughts, healthy debates, like and dislikes of film actors etc....

Even now except few, it’s really interesting to read some of the tweets which carries deep meaning, comical expression of daily affairs such as politics, film actors opinions etc..... on the other side, I could also sense somebody got addicted towards this tool (so sad). Here, twitter's are rated with their amount of tweets, amount of followers, and kind of stuff they share...

Some of the observations of current trend...... here who tweets more is popular, have lot of follower, they are famous through their blogs, less of following, spending most of the time in tweeting than reading others..... People think alike and also contrarily... (EX-for a particular comment about any film actor or movie feedback I could see so many support each other and also many oppose)

This blog is registered to enforce a good media tool should be fully enjoyable with both informative and entertainable.  Personally I have high regards for this media tools because I am thoroughly impressed by some of the promising twitter who pass productive information with lot of fun.......

Its a wish that I must ever like twitter –like today. Its possible only by creation and innovation in place.

Whatever I have shared here is my opinion only, not to hurt anybody.......................

சென்னை: திடீரென பஸ் கட்டணம் உயர்ந்துவிட்டதால், கையில் பணமின்றி மனைவி குழந்தைகளுடன் நடந்தே வீட்டுக்குப் போனார் ஒரு தொழிலாளி.

அந்தத் தொழிலாளியின் பெயர் செந்தில். திருவண்ணாமலை காரப்பட்டு கிராமத்திலிருந்து சென்னை வந்து கட்டட வேலை செய்பவர். மனைவி மற்றும் இரு குழந்தைகள் இவருக்கு உள்ளனர்.

துரைப்பாக்கத்தில் தங்கி கட்டட கூலியாக வேலை பார்த்து வருகிறார்.

சில தினங்களுக்கு முன் ஊருக்குப் போன அவர் நேற்று சென்னை திரும்பினார். பஸ்ஸில் ஏறியபிறகுதான் டிக்கெட் கட்டணம் ஏற்றப்பட்ட விவரம் தெரிந்திருக்கிறது.

வழக்கமாக ரூ 100 கொடுத்தால் தாம்பரத்துக்கு இருவர் வந்துவிட முடியும். ஆனால் இப்போது தாறுமாறாக கட்டணம் ஏற்றப்பட்டுள்ளதால், அவர் ஊர் திரும்ப ரூ 200-க்கு மேல் ஆகிவிட்டதாம்.

வைத்திருந்த மொத்த பணத்தையும் கொடுத்து தாம்பரம் வரை டிக்கெட் எடுத்த செந்தில், தாம்பரத்தில் இறங்கியதும் தான் குடியிருக்கும் துரைப்பாக்கம் செல்ல போதிய பணமில்லாததைக் கண்டார்.

கொண்டு வந்திருந்த மூட்டையை தலையில் சுமந்து கொண்டு மனைவி- குழந்தைகள் இருவருடன் நடந்தே செல்ல ஆரம்பித்துவிட்டார்.

நடந்து கொண்டே, இந்த அம்மா வந்தா நம்மை காப்பாற்றுவார், வருமானத்துக்கு வழி பிறக்கும்னு பாத்தா, இருக்கிறதையும் பிடுங்கிட்டு தெருவில் அல்லாட விட்டுட்டாங்களே!, என்று வேதனையுடன் புலம்பியபடி சென்றார்.

இதைக் கவனித்த சில லோக்கல் நிருபர்கள் அவரை நிறுத்தி விஷயத்தைக் கேட்க, அவர் திருவண்ணாமலையிலிருந்து தான் புறப்பட்டு வந்த கதையைச் சொல்லிவிட்டு, நடையைத் தொடர்ந்தார்!

இன்னும் எத்தனைப் பேர் இப்படி நடைப்பயணத்தை மேற்கொண்டார்களோ என்ற கேள்வியுடன் திரும்பினர் நிருபர்கள்.

விலைவாசியை ஜெயலலிதா உயர்த்தியதற்கு பாராட்டு தெரிவிக்கும் பசியறியா, நடையறியா, பேருந்துப் பயணம் அறியா, வியாதிக்காக மட்டுமே நடந்து பழகிய சொகுசு வர்க்கத்துக்கு இதெல்லாம் எங்கே தெரியப் போகிறது!




நான் படித்து பாதித்து இந்த பதிவை நான் பகிர்ந்து கொள்கிறேன். நானும் அன்றாடம் பேருந்தில் பயணம் செய்யும் ஒருவன். முன் அறிவிப்பின்றி கட்டணம் உயர்த்தியது பெரும்தவறு.

Human Nature -Just a thought

Man O Man ! 
When he is without money, he eats vegetables at home;When he has money, he eats vegetables in a fine restaurant. 
When he is without money, he rides bicycle to work;When he has money, he rides bicycle to exercise. 
When he is without money, he walks to eat food;When he has money, he walks to burn food. 
When he is without money, he wishes to get married;When he has money, he wishes to get divorced. 
When he is without money, his wife becomes secretary;When he has money, his secretary becomes wife. 
When he is without money, he acts like a rich man;When he has money, he acts like a pauper. 
He says share market is bad but he keeps on speculating;He says money is evil but he keeps on craving for it. 
He says high positions are lonely but he keeps on struggling for it;He says gambling & drinking is bad but he keeps on indulging in it. 
Man O Man !He simply can’t tell a simple truth ! 


He never means what he says and never says what he means ! 

A story worth reading-god is great

I thought its worth sharing with those people who believe god does everything with reason and just not mere a co-incidence.


 A king who did not believe in the goodness of God, had a slave who, in all circumstances, said: My king, do not be discouraged, because everything God 

does is perfect, no mistakes! 

One day they went hunting and along the way a wild animal attacked the king. His slave managed to kill the animal, but could not prevent his majesty losing a finger. 

Furious and without showing his gratitude for being saved, the nobleman said "Is God good? If He was good, I would not have been attacked and lost my finger." 

The slave replied: "My king, despite all these things, I can only tell you that God is good, and he knows "why" of all these things. What God does is perfect. He is 

never wrong!" 

Outraged by the response, the king ordered the arrest of his slave. 

Later, he left for another hunt and was captured by savages who made human sacrifices. 

In the altar, ready to sacrifice the nobleman, the savages found that the victim had not one of his fingers, so he was released. According to them, it was not so complete to be offered to the gods. 

Upon his return to the palace, he authorized the release of his slave that he received very affectionately. 

"My dear, God was really good to me! I was almost killed by the wild men, but for lack of a single finger, I was let go! But I have a question: if God is so good, why did he allow me to put you in jail?" 

"My King, if I had gone with you in this hunt, I would have been sacrificed for you, because I have no missing finger, therefore, remember everything God does is perfect. He is never wrong." 

CARE IS THE PIVOT FOR THIS RELATIONSHIP

In this blog I will try to express my inner feeling about a human (I doubt words would still fail to show the my real feeling). I am going to share about a person who have inspired me like friend, mentor, childhood hero, guide, philosopher, moreover a person who took a special care for me till now, etc....( Still I am not happy with the intro)

I must mention that how he differs from other persons i came across in my life, He is a person full of love, emotion, affection, care, control, sacrifice(lot), so on, on and on........ He is a human who have unpredicted temperament, mental toughness, never giving-up attitude, very specifically his courage to face anything( I don't remember an incident he worried to face an assault). His courage is the most admiring quality which i like from him.(No one have according to me)

Now, I will share how we move along in the past. Our likes and dislike would ever matched in those days, typical opposite pole. If he like Kamal, I like Rajini, If i like playing indoor games, he plays outdoor sports, if i play with a group, below of my age, he plays above of his age, he is a science student, i am an art student, anything and everything this will not match except a hidden care with him always for me.Many a times, I compete with him and ended up with a big failure. I never realized that i can't match him because he is a legend in everything.

When we grow, I thought issues will also grow. However, he never considered me as a threat. There were so many occasions whenever I broke in my life, My chips were down, I lost myself to the failure, He was there as an uninvited person to share his shoulder to me. When i grow older, my thoughts also got matured- now i realize how much i have hurt him, what were the occasions, what was his stand, only one thing i could realize that he wanted me to be good and safe. The greatness about his affection is that I could only realize, no definitions.

People say in olden days, we have 7 life like this! I pray god that in all 7 life, I must associate with him in some ways, live to his likings. This is basically because as both got old, I am not sure that i will get an opportunity to be good as he expects. He has given me so much that i could not satisfy him in this life. I may sound emotional, yes i am. I would like to recall an old saying" When you pain somebody, you will be pained by somebody". Now i take so much of care for my kid(any one for that matter), my kid is behaving the same way that i behaved with him. Now i have realized how it would have been for him when i was doing that to him.

In front of him, I might not have given respect to his words, However, he is the only person who can control me now. I had a different kind of adhering to his words, It might look that i haven't taken his words, however, I will be doing the same thing as he expects me to do. In general, I never said "yes! I will do" in front of him.However I have followed a lot of his words exactly the same way, Still i am not convinced that I obey his words.

I am not sure that anybody who got a person like him in their life, even the person whom i am describing.Its not that we don't have difference of opinion, we have a lot, however care will be the pivot in the end.Here i would like to disclose about the person whom i have described so far"He is my one & only elder brother"

It must be a god's gift to have anyone who cares like him and who provide a unconditional affection. I will not comment on his merits and demerits, his achievements and failure etc.... This is an expression of younger to elder.

Before i conclude, I want to say & In my life,So far I have ever said this to my lovable brother that"I LOVE YOU SO MUCH" and "I AM SORRY FOR THE MISTAKES I HAVE DONE" I know that he will not mind all this, Because, He is a legend.

Do friendship have definition or boundaries or any limitations?

The purpose of writing this blog is to find out how a human consider another human as friend, philosopher, guide,mentor etc.... though he crosses so many humans in the process.


Recently, I have come across a question posed to a group where i was part of it. How many friends you have currently? so many answers given(which is not relevant to this blog). The very common in answers were-the numbers were very less. what it means? Inspite of meeting, talking, moving with so many individuals in life, we choose only few humans as good friends, what do we name others? companions? passer-by? then what?


Here, I want to really recall how i/we have chosen my/our close friend(only one). how i met him? how we both were inspired each other? what was common between us? how he made me feel when we were together as well as far(missing). why only him, though many were there? 


Honestly, I don't find answers for this questions. What  it means? friendship is also a feeling like love(mean-between male & female). We can only feel, realize, enjoy the friendship. It doesn't have any scripted picture or definitions.


In general, to be a good, reliable, everlasting friend- I must possess the following qualities in me atleast with my friend: Atmost care for his well-being, no expectations, creating a value of bondage & sense of security. etc......


I will go places(geographically/achievement), however he will be like an oxygen, need of him will ever diminish until my lungs doesn't need it. 


Before, I conclude, There are so many individuals in my life, who have inspired me, have become my mentors, guide, philosophers etc... Of-course, They are very important, however a friend has no boundaries, I have a thorough freedom to talk of what i really feel about anything. 
However others have!


I don't believe in" friend in need is a friend indeed". "He is like a helmet who will protect when you get a hit, however you will pray not to get a hit". This is only an example not an ideal situation. No string attached.

VENTING OUT MY FEELING

MY PURPOSE OF WRITING THIS BLOG IS TO VENT OUT(WHICH IS MAKING ME SICK) MY FEELING REGARDING MAINTAINING THE RELATIONSHIP WITH MY MENTORS, FRIENDS , BLOOD RELATIONS, NEIGHBORS, GOOD COMPANIONS SO ON........

I HAVE VERY RECENTLY FOUND OUT THAT TOO ACCIDENTALLY ABOUT MY BIGGEST WEAKNESS OF NOT MAINTAINING THE RELATIONSHIP. SO FAR I HAVE NEVER FOUND DIFFICULTLY IN DEVELOPING RELATIONSHIP WITH ANYONE, HOWEVER TO SUSTAIN OR MAINTAIN IS MY BIG CONCERN-IN OTHER WORDS I LACK IN CONSISTENCY IN MY APPROACH WITH HUMANS OVER ALL.

FOR EXAMPLE:  I AM GOING TO SHARE MY BLENDER WITH ONE OF THE PERSON(ELDER TO ME BY 5/6 YEARS WHOM I CONSIDER AS MY VALUABLE PERSON IN MY EARLY DAYS. FROM MY CHILDHOOD DAYS, I LOVE CRICKET & CHESS (BOTH PLAYING & WATCHING) COMPARED TO OTHER SPORTS AND GAMES. BECAUSE OF MY ENVIRONMENT MY SKILLS WERE NOT NURTURED TO BIG STAGE UNTIL I MET THIS PERSON DURING A COLLEGE TOURNAMENT. HE IS VERY FAMOUS AMONG THE CRICKETING FRATERNITY( WHICH I CAME TO KNOW LATER), I PLAYED AGAINST HIM ONCE, AFTER 2,3 MEETING I STARTED LIKING HIM THE WAY HE SPOKE TO EVERYBODY.

I WAS LOOKING FOR AN OPPORTUNITY TO TALK TO HIM ALONE(NORMALLY HE TALKS WITH A GROUP), IT NEVER HAPPENED. WHEN I STARTED MEETING HIM QUITE OFTEN, I ALSO BECAME ONE OF HIS GROUP PERSON. I FELT VERY PROUD TO BE NEAR WITH HIM & LISTENING TO HIS SPEECH.

ONE DAY, I WAS SITTING IN THE COLLEGE GALLERY, WATCHING A PRACTICE MATCH, HE CAME CLOSE AND SAT NEAR TO ME. THAT MOMENT CHANGED MY  NEXT 3 YEARS OF MY COLLEGE LIFE. DURING OUR TALK, I PRAISED HIS COSTLY BAT, THEN HE ASKED WHY DON'T YOU OWN THIS KIND OF BAT(THAT TIME I PLAY WITH OTHERS/COLLEGE BAT). I EXPLAINED MY FAMILY SITUATION TO HIM WHERE I LOST MY MOM AND MY DAD WORKS HARD TO PAY MY COLLEGE FEES. IN THAT CASE, HOW CAN I ASK MY DAD TO GIVE 1000 BUCKS TO BUY A BAT? THEN HE EXPLAINED ME TO BUY THE BAT WITHOUT ASKING FROM MY DAD. DURING THE COURSE, HE IS A LEAGUE SUB-COMMITTEE MEMBER IN CRICKET ASSOCIATION, SO HE HELPED ME TO BE A SCORER IN ALL WEEKENDS AND EARN 80 BUCKS PER WEEK. SOMETIMES IN THE TOURNAMENT SEASONS, INCOME PER WEEK WILL BE MORE.
 AFTER 3 MONTHS I OWNED A BRAND NEW BAT, NOT SO COSTLY STILL ITS MY OWN BAT. ONCE IT SO HAPPENED, ONE OF THE UMPIRE DIDN'T TURN UP, SO AS AN OFFICIAL SCORER, I GOT MY FIRST CHANCE TO OFFICIATE CRICKET MATCH. HE ALSO INFORMED ME THAT THE WAYS AND MEANS TO WRITE EXAMS AND GET THROUGH UMPIRE TEST BY SENDING SPECIAL CLASSES. HE ALSO BACKED ME DURING ANY CRISIS IN THE MATCH AS AN OFFICIAL UMPIRE(AFTER I PASSED) IF ANY DISCREPANCIES REGARDING UMPIRING STANDARD. IT GAVE ME HELL LOT OF CONFIDENCE.
AS A PLAYER, HE SELECTED ME FOR HIS FIRST DIVISION LEAGUE TEAM, NURTURED ME AS A PLAYER. I LIKE THE MOST FROM HIM-HE IS AN UNBIASED PERSON, WAY HE EXPLAINS ONE'S PROBLEM, CARE TOWARDS INDIVIDUAL. MORE FOR ME- HE IS EVERYTHING FOR ME.
NOW, ONCE I LEFT MY COLLEGE LIFE, MY FOCUS WAS MORE TOWARDS MY PROFESSION, LESS TOWARDS MY PERSONAL. I KEPT IN TOUCH WITH HIM ONCE IN A MONTH. AFTER I GOT TRANSFERRED TO DIFFERENT PLACES, MY COMMUNICATION WITH HIM ONLY ON NEW YEAR FOR SOME YEARS. EVEN NOW AND THEN I TALK TO HIM(FRANKNESS & INTIMACY IS MISSING), HOWEVER I FEEL I HAVE LOST A VERY GOOD MENTOR.
                                HERE I AGREE THAT I HAVEN'T KEPT MY CONSISTENCY IN MAINTAINING RELATIONSHIP WITH HIM.
                       
                                  EVEN NOW WHENEVER I DO UMPIRING IN BIG STAGE, STILL I CAN'T BE THERE WITHOUT HIM.

THIS IS ONLY AN EXAMPLE.....................  STILL SO MANY PEOPLE I HAVE LOST LIKE THIS.............................................. OH GOD STOP THIS PLEASE........
