Music Memory

                          "Memory is defined as the faculty of mind by which information is encoded, stored and retrieved. Its the retention of info over a period of time influencing future actions. Its related to limbic systems and vital to experiences". Definitions like these are always head-spinning. Must be reminding the financial investment disclosure ads where a famous voice speaks in ultra speed like 'Mutual fund schemes are subjected to market risks. Please read the offer documents carefully before investing'. Yes, Memory is that complex to handle even at definition level. Because, for example, what If you forget Good memories but unable to forget bad memories ? Apart from its complexity and many other unique attributes, I ll take up its storage attribute. Forget Cerebrum or Medulla Oblangata. What If Music plays a part in memory storage ?  Thats what my contention is. Blanket of Music over Mind                           Lets strictly restrict within M

Respect Cash in Cashless Economy

                  Every Indian, be it Literate or Illiterate, should have been able to explain something about the word 'Cashless'. Thanks to euphoria created by our Prime Minister Modi around Digital India Dreams. Despite Modi, more to it like movie comedies with beggars carrying PoS machines, villages in media flash to first go cashless, (Demon)etisation pushing it hard enough. There has to be something out of it. Otherwise it would have never got such public fraternity right ? Barring with claims of so-called Stoppage of Terror funding and Counterfeit controlling, the most important outcomes genuinely are Black Money Regulation and Organizedness in economy. Latter meaning simply that whatever happens in economy, monetarily and financially, its completely visible for government. Does that sound sweet enough ? This is what a Common man's Financial murmuring been, 'Kodi kodiya adikaravana lam vutrunga !!' ('Leave those who loot in crores'). Yes, Cashless ha

Vadivelu - Indian Chaplin!!!

Image
        The name 'Vadivelu' ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vadivelu ) itself gives us a flash of expressions, mannerisms and dialogues he has mesmerized the audience with for years in Tamil Cinema. A non-Tamilian grasps him rarely as he is a pure locally inclined comedian. But that has never made him inferior to be compared alongside comedian greats of the world. Cinema has no linguistic boundaries. Art's beauty lies in its universality across global languages. Vadivelu's mesmerism too extends way beyond dialogues that a non-Tamilian can easily miss. As an Hard-core fan, still grasping each and every inch of him as he starts appearing on screen, I will try exploring my version of 'Vadivelu'.          A Comedian succeeds when audience starts laughing seeing only his face. As he gives a Police commanding look in Maruthamazhai or A King's look in Pulikesi or A Rowdy look in Thalainagaram, he just nails it. I have started laughing numerous times as he enters

Real race is yet to start in Education!!!

             An Education system should be pushing students to think, to create, to regulate, to manage, to empathize. But in India, it has been propounded on the principles of raw knowledge. WHEN you use it, HOW you use it, WHY you use it has always been a big hovering question around this system. They are given Books, taught in classes by Teachers and questions quite straight forward such that except time and speed of writing, nothing much to work upon. We are not tested much for conceptual understanding.              Students are experts in sticking to what system wants. They learn the way the system wants, reproduce as the system expects. All future education opportunities relying on such a system's outcome easily moulds students towards such rote learning. Schools too have set the path at earnest perfection towards producing marks and creates methods to score marks as the only objective. So participants of this system keep themselves adapted to system to achieve maximum poss
