    பாஸ்கர்

    இந்த மாதம் முதல் வாரத்தில் நல்ல மழை நாளில் இரவு இயற்கை அழைப்புக்கு தூக்கத்தில் இருந்து விழிப்படைந்தேன். மின்சாரம் இல்லை. மிக கொஞ்சமான குளிர். எனது படுக்கை அறையில் இருந்து கழிவறைக்கு செல்லும்  வழி புரிபடவில்லை. தட்டு தடவி நடந்து வந்தால் அது சமையல் அறை. இயற்கையின் அவசரம் ஒரு புறம். எந்த பக்கம் நடக்க வேண்டும் என சில நிமிடங்கள் புரிபடவில்லை. ஏதேனும் பொருள் தட்டுப்படும் என நடந்தால் எனது இருட்டு பாதையில் எந்த பொருளும் கைக்கு அகப்படவில்லை. வெறும் சுவர் மட்டுமே தட்டுபட்டது. நடுவில் எங்கோ இடித்து கொண்டேன். இடிபட்ட இடத்தை உள்வாங்கி அதன் மூலம் கழிவறைக்கு செல்லலாம் என்ற யோசனை உதிக்கவில்லை.

    சிறு வெளிச்சம் இருந்து இருப்பின் சமாளித்து இருக்கலாம். இருட்டுக்கே கண் தெரியாத ஒரு பெரும் இருட்டு அது. மனக்கண்ணால் புரிந்து கொள்ளலாம் என்பதெல்லாம் ஒரு மாயை. அதற்கு ஒரு பயிற்சி வேண்டும். பொறுமை வேண்டும். இப்போது கண் இருந்தும் பார்வை அற்றவன் போலானேன். ஏற்கனவே எனக்கு வலது கண்ணில் பார்வை இல்லை . இப்போது இரண்டு கண்களும் பார்வை இழந்து போய் நின்றது போல அமைந்த நேரம் அது. பார்வை அற்றவர்களின் நிலை அப்போது ஆழ்ந்து புரிந்தது. அவர்களின் மிக துயரமான வாழ்க்கை என்ன என பிறகு புரிந்தது. வாழ்க்கையில் புரிதல் என்ற விஷயம் அறிவுப்பூர்வமாக இருப்பதின் அபத்தம் சின்ன வட்டம் தான் என புரிவது எவ்வளவு உண்மை. ஒரு விஷயம் ஆழ்ந்து புரிபடுவதற்கும், தகவலை பதிவாக இருப்பதற்கும் உள்ள ஒரு சிறு இடைவெளியில் வாழ்க்கை ஒளிந்து கொண்டு இருக்கிறது. ஆனால் அந்த இருட்டை நமக்கு வசதியாக தோதாக வைத்து கொண்டு இருக்கிறோம். நம் சொறிதலில் உள்ள சுகம் தான் நம்மை நகர விடாமல் செய்கிறது . எனக்கு அந்த அனுபவம் இருளில் கிடைத்த ஒளி.

    It was Heartening to come across the News that Forty Five Mosques in Tuticorin and Tirunelveli came to the rescue of the people who were affected by the rain and flood in Tuticorin.

    They sheltered most of them and provided food all the four days and arranged place for them to sleep comfortably.

    Children were provided milk, Biscuits, Bread. All were taken better in all aspects.

    Since many mosques had the facility of Power Genset they were able to manage better for their safety.

    Literally most of the Mosques in this region had become a Relief camp all these harrowing days. In fact All the Mosques had stopped the Regular Prayers all the four days to ensure communal Harmony.

    Paramasivam was a devoted Congress Man in those days well before the Independence era and when he started a small book shop, he remembered to Name it as Nehru News mart. He started a small book shop in forties and little did he thought he will be successful.

    But his innovative idea of an exclusive newspaper shop was an immediate hit in those days and any journal/ Newspaper of south will be available in his shop.

    It was a privilege to mylaporeans to get their hot edition from This mart. A Mumbai edition of the day’s paper will be there in the evening. With no idiot box and colorful channels, the one and only entertainment and pass time habit was Reading and Reading alone.

    You name a weekly or a daily of any Language. it used to be there on time every time.

    With the ageing problem Paramasivam passed away in early 1990 and from there on It was his son Kamaraj who had been handling the same activity with the best tempo. He was an agent of many newspapers and Suddenly Kamaraj also passed away eight years ago.

    It’s his family which is now looking after the Business. This Mart had come across from the days of swadesamitran, Manjari and Kalaimagal to the recently Launched booklets on various topics. And this shop is also famous for the Race book as it is called.

    The Brand Original Vel is the most wanted book of those days before the races were banned in Chennai. Now the mart had survived almost seventy years Plus with the heads changing. But the landmark of Nehru News Mart and Luz always goes together.

    Oldies may well remember this point and a visit to the shop was a must for them. There are still a group or two who goes into fascination of the Nostalgic memories even today. I too can be counted on this.

    When it rained heavily in Tuticorin she smelt something wrong and decided that she has a role to play. She left her kids in a Relative’s House and went in the heavy rains to the substation to carry on the work since her presence was essential to give commands in person as the network was down in and around her area.

    She has to decide where the power is to be cut and where it has to be restored. She was assisted by few co -workers and linemen and went round the area to ensure that none suffer. She travelled in vehicle and by walk to some places where she has no access of using the vehicle.

    She stayed in the office Sub Station all the two days. Meanwhile due to the Increased rain the substation was surrounded by water. She was somehow able to reach her Higher Officials and after sometime they all assisted her and restored power in many places.

    After two days stay, she returned to her home to see her children. The whole of people around her neighbourhood was full of Praise.

    Kudos to her for the dedication in her service. We are Proud of you Sudha. Let your Tribe Grow.

He joined CITI bank and quit the service in just a Month only to join Royal Enfield. In two Years, he left Enfield (Thoraipakkam) only to start this Financial Venture.

    Thousands of Depositors were taken for a ride for long years. In a way this Subiksha Paved the way for many financial companies to get into Fraudster methods in the Later Years.

One Fine day all his chain of outlets Numbering 1600 all over South India had been shut in 2009 and that started the misfortune and had ended yesterday with a court Judgement.

    Subramaniam Was the Brainchild for the economically Priced goods in The Supermarkets in South India. His steps were not measured and it was Too Wide. Even today some shops announce that their prices are cheaper than that of Subhiksha. He revolutionised the supermarket culture but unfortunately, he chewed more than what he could.
