Tea Kadai

After our friend Mahesh wrote about typical tea ‘kadai’ , I was motivated to write about the tea kadai once again.

Tea Kadai may be defined as a “Place where unemployed tand vetti people gather with old newspaper and sip a glass of tea or eat varki or cookies talking about happening in the world or about problem in the village”.

These kadais or shop play a important role in villages where it is considered as place for gathering especially for the periya manshans.sThe typical tea kadai is often  shown in various places as per the definition and also as a place for teasing heroin.

The tea kadai has some requirements mainly, it must have 3 or 4 benches, a boiler, the boiler especially made of metal is very important and without that  it is not considered as a typical tea shop. Newspapers especially tamil newspapers mostly would be very old (some may be even announcing Gandiji’s death) or new may be announcing shooting of Rajiv  Gandi  or in rare cases there maybe  up to date newspapers.

People coming to tea shop or the kadai are also interesting. These people must wear White shirt,white veshti and white thundu. The thundu or towel is considered veryy important. Without this the person is not considered as Periya Manushan. They are the first category people and come to talk about happeningss and showing off tat they can read (some may be seeing only pictures) but will be acting as if they are double master degree holders.  The second category is other citizens of the villages like vathiyar,palayathukarar etc who are not regular customers but are forced by the white and whites if they pass by the shop these white and whites will ask “Enna vathiyare intha pakkam” . Now the vathiyar is forced to come to the shop.

I forgot to tell other thing, the white and whites may not have money and call people like our vathiyar and tell “tea sollen” the vathiyar is also forced to be the customer of the shop.

The owner: The owner of the shop, may be Nair or any other guy who prepares tea mostly and also acts as cashier of the shop. We cant expect profit from the shop but we can expect more loan and the owner is forced to sell his tea for loan. Mostly he wont recieve money.

Tea Kadai, on the whole can be considered as place where a problems start and end. Thanks to Periya manushans for the functioning of these shop. Without these shops, on the whole a village cant survive!

Ilaiyaraja and Beatles Common Points

BASISa ILAIYARAJA BEATLES Gurus He had Hindu guru,Ramana Maharishi They also had Hindu guru Maharishi Mahesh First Album 1960
1960 Peak 1970s 1970s Birth As Christians but had good respect for Hinduism As Christians but had good respect for Hinduism Influence Introduced Blues,Hip hop and greatly modified country music in tamil cinema music Had great influenc on,Blues,Hip Hop and Country Music

The Beatles

Beatles, the famous English band who saitd that they were great than the god Jesus are noted for their everlasting and evergreen melodies in English. Some of their songs including Hey Jude,It’s for you even today top the charts of various countries all over the world. But, due to some internal problems and several other factors the bathnd broke  up.

After coming to know about our Beatles, i listened to With A little help. The song which talks about their journey in the

Yellow Submarine with their friends the lyrics and the tune add to the plus point to the song. It reminds us of some tunes like Thanni Tharuthiruchi like type of tune and mood.

Hey Jude, one of the best songs of English songs ind(Sorry I donno what the name they give for english songs).  The humming ,lyrics,music etc etc add to the song.

Ilaiyaraja, has helped me to enjoy those songs as his tuns are also like Beatles as his songs are also evergreen and everlasting.

Thanks to Beatles and Ilaiyaraja for composing songs and helping to reduce stress in the time of reccession and economic drop

Old Madras

Old Madras, as the name suggests, the Chennai as it is called now was a fantastic place and not like the present Chennai.

Thanks to Metroplus and Hindu for writing regular interviews from the elderly and scholary persons who lived in so called Old Madras.

To the present generation, Madras seems to be a old word used by their grand pas and mas instead of the name Chennai. Some of the important facts about the Madras is

1.Coovum, which as become a drinage now was used as a way of transport.

2. Madras as presidency included many of the south indian states including the Malabar region.

People were Classical than Contemprary. There were more Congress party people.

The forgotten history of the old madras now also can be seen in many places including Mylapore,Triplicane etc. These two areas are one of the classical and intresting.

Mylapore and Triplicane was a Bramhans occupied area. Even now you can see Mamas and Mamis singing Bhajanais during the Margazhi

Another intresting of these areas are people are still Classical. Some of their routine include

1.Degree Kaapi

2.Tea – Kadai Arattai

3. Maami’s Mess

These three are very well known to people in those areas and native Chennaitee like me.

Even though the lifestyle changes are changing there is no change in the life style of Mamas and Mamis

God

ai hanuman gyan gun sagar,
jai kapish tihun lok ujagar,
ram doot atulit balthama,
anjani putra pavansut nama,
mahabir bikram bajarangi,
kumati nivar sumati ke sangi,
kanchan baran biraj subesa,
kanan kundal kunchit kesa,
haath braj au dhwaja biraje,
kandhe moonj janeu saaje….
panatanay sankat haran mangal murati roop,
ram lakhan sit asahit hriday basahu sur bhoop..

SEND THIS “HANUMAN CHALISA”
TO 10 {EXCEPT ME!!!!!}PERSON .
YOUR FINANCIAL POSITION WILL IMPROVE IN 8 HOURS. !!!!!!!!!!
101% GURANTEE,
BUT IF YOU CAN’T SEND THIS “HANUMAN CHALISA”YOUR BAD LUCK WILL START ON NEXT WEEK TO 10 YEARS

These are some of the forwards everyday we get from our friends,relatives etc etc stating that if you forward this you will get 10000 rs if you dont forward, you will die and so.

I have not personally experienced a incident like any bad luck. But, I always forward it due to some hope that I may get something from the forward. I dont know wheather it is true or false but there is hope to all that it will happen because there is name of god written in it.

I dont think that God whatever by name Krisha,Jesus or Alla or what ever may be his form or faith the true god is the forgiver and not the punisher.
