போஜனம் செய்ய வாருங்கோ
போஜனம் செய்ய வாருங்கோ, ராஜ
போஜனம் செய்ய வாருங்கோ
ராஜ போஜனம் செய்ய வாருங்கோ

மீனாக்ஷி சுந்தரேச கல்யாண மண்டபத்தில்
போஜனம் செய்ய வாருங்கோ
மீனாக்ஷி சுந்தரேச கல்யாண மண்டபத்தில்
போஜனம் செய்ய வாருங்கோ


சித்திரமான, நவ சித்திரமான
கல்யாண மண்டபத்தில்
வித விதமாகவே வாழைகள் கட்டி
வெட்டி வேர் கொழுந்து தோரணங்களும்
மாட்டிய கூடமும், பவழ ஸ்தம்பவும்
பச்சை மரகதங்கள், தல கதி செய்களும்,
முத்து முத்தாகவே நுனி வாழைகளும்,
பசும் பொன்னால் செய்த பஞ்ச பாத்ரங்களும்
பன்னீர் ஜலத்துடன் உத்ஹிரனியுமே ,
முத்து முத்தாகவே முன்னே தெளிக்க
போஜனம் செய்ய வாருங்கோ
ராஜ போஜனம் செய்ய வாருங்கோ
மும்மூர்த்தி சகல தேவர்களும் கூட,
அன்னம், பார்வதி, ஆதி பரா சக்தி,
அருந்ததி, இந்த்ராணி, அகல்யா, கௌசல்யா ,
திரௌபதி, சீதா, தாரா, மண்டோதரி ,
இந்திரா தேவி, ரம்பை, திலோத்தமை,
கந்தர்வ பத்தினி, கின்னர தேவி ,
அஷ்ட திக் பாலகர்கள் பாரியாள் உடனே,
சப்த மகா முனி ரிஷி பத்தினிகளும்,
பந்தடித்தார் போல் பட்டுக்கள் கட்டி,
கச்சை மெட்டுக்கள் கொள்ளு கொள்ளுவென,
பசும் பொன் தட்டிலே பாயசங்கள் எடுத்து,
பரிந்து பரிந்து பரிமாறிட வந்தார்

போஜனம் செய்ய வாருங்கோ, ராஜ
போஜனம் செய்ய வாருங்கோ
மீனாக்ஷி சுந்தரேச கல்யாண மண்டபத்தில்
போஜனம் செய்ய வாருங்கோ
செய்ய வாருங்கோ
செய்ய வாருங்கோ

English Meaning for the Lyrics of Bhojanam Seyya Vaarungo

Please come to take your meals,
Please come to take your royal meals.

In the picturesque marriage hall,
Different types of Banana plants are erected,
All round Khus roots have been tied,
The hall is shining with gem studded pillars.
The floors have been paved with green emeralds,
And very, very pretty Banana leaves have been spread,
And by its side is the water pot made by pure Gold,
And in it is kept the scented rose water with a sacred spoon,
And from it water is sprinkled drop by drop

All the devas including the Sacred trinity have assembled there,
And dressed with pretty well made up silk Saris,
And with anklets making jingling sounds,
Food is being served with care and love,
By Goddess Annapurni, Parvatrhi and Adhi Parashakthi,
Arundathi, Indrani, Ahalya, Kousalya,
Panchali, Sitha, Tara, Mandodhari,
The queen of Indra, Rambha, Thilothama,
The kinner devi, the wives of Gandharwas,
Along the wives of the eight guardians,
And with the wives of the seven great sages

Lyrics of Aadinar Oonjal Sarvesar

Lyrics of Aadinar Oonjal Sarvesar

(sung when the bride and groom swing for the first time on a decorated swing)

Raagam: Plaval
Thaalam: Chapu

ஆடினார் ஊஞ்சல் சர்வேசர்
பாடினார் நாரதர், வீணை விலாசர்
கோடி பாஸ்கர பிரகாசர்
கொண்டாடுவர் உள்ளே நின்று ஆடும் ஈசர்
தாசர்கள்-கே- லேச விநாசர்
தடாதகை தன்னை தழுவ உல்லாசர்
பூர்வத்தில் காஞ்சனா மாலை
பூர்ண தப்சுகள் செய்ததினாலே
ராஜ குமாரனை போலே
ரத்தினம் இழைத்த பீடத்தின் மேலே
கல்யாண கோலங்கள் கொண்டு
கடை கண்ணால் அடிக்கடி தேவியை க்கண்டு
அற்புத ஆபரணங்கள் பூண்டு
ஆலசய பூரி ராஜன் வாசலில் நின்று
பீதாம்பரங்கள் தரித்து
பின்னே வேணியில் சுகந்தம் முடிந்து
மந்தஹாசமாய் சிரித்து
மதுரை மீனாக்ஷி ப்ரியாளை நினைத்து

English verse:

Aadinar oonjal sarvesar
Padinaar Naradar, Veenai vilasar
Kodi bhaskara prakasa,
Kondaduvar ulle nindru aadum eesar
Dasargal-k-lesa vinasar
Thadathagai thannai thazhuva ullasar

Poorvathil Kanchana malai,
Poorna thapsugal seidhathinaaley
Raja kumarani ppole
Rathinam izhaitha peedathin meley

Kalyana kolangal kondu
Kadai kannal adikkadi deviyai-k-kandu
Arpudha aabharanangal poond,
Aalasya puri rajan vasalil nindru

Peethambarangal tharithu
Pinne veniyil sugantham mudinthu
Mandahasamay sirithu
Madurai Meenakshi priyalai ninaithu

English Translation for the Lyrics of Aadinar Oonjal Sarvesar

Please swing in the swing,
God of all, sang Narada,
Who is an expert in playing Veena.

He who shines like billions of Suns,
He who dances in the mind of his devotees
He who destroys troubles of his devotees,

Because Kanchana Mala did,
Great penance in early days
Like a princes, Sitting on a gem studded plank

Having dressed up for marriage,
He sees again and again the Goddess
He is wearing wonderful ornaments,
And stood in front of the king of Madurai

He was wearing yellow silk,
And had decorated his tuft with scented flowers
He was smiling very softly,
Thinking about his darling Madurai Meenakshi.
Lyrics of Anandam Anandam Anandame

Photography as a hobby

What is life ? It is an experience and filled with mix of good and bad memories. What is the best way to capture it other than Photography ???

Buy a decent camera.... learn properly about how to take a picture., Improvise it... be a good observer.... improve over a period.... Capture your lovely moments. Share it with first circle of friends and family. I would recommend this to every individual on earth. But it is an hobby ... and stay with it.

To all the high headed individuals who think SLR should be owned only by experts, professional photographers.... Go to hell..... SLR is a commodity and every one has a right to buy and use it. They can even exhibit their pictures in gallery if they can afford it.... You don't own anything other than some abusive tweets or cribs... get on with life dumb folks...

Imtiaz Ali's Rockstar - Movie review

Movie Name: Rockstar
Director: Imtiaz Ali
Overall Rating - Very good if you are sick are tired of Mindless Masala movies

Saw the movie at Odeon, Manchester on 12th Nov, 2011.

Plus Points:

1. Imtiaz Ali's approach to the movie.... It is simple, journey based, experience based.... didn't try to find an end to story....
2. Lyricist - Irshad Kamil - was wonderful... less dialogues... Ranbir's emotions are mostly conveyed through Lyrics.... he has contributed immensely.
3. Music - What to say.... another masterpiece from Rahman
4. Ranbir Kapoor - Acted really well... emoted very well.... would have been really good if he had moved his left hand while playing Guitar.... as he claimed that he learnt playing Guitar for acting in this movie.

Minus Points:

1. Nargis - She looks good but doesn't look like a common girl... more from rich and famous attitude... hence, the problem.... or the lack while emoting...
2. Screenplay - lacked coherence like.... where he learnt guitar classes, who was his musical mentor etc etc...

Favourite Scenes....

1. Plenty... like Samosa in pain scene, tearing the contract, signal scene bwn Ranbir & his manager, Caravan scene bwn Ranbir & Aditi Rao....

Sensex outlook Nov, Dec 2011

Tough international political, financial problems prevailed above the Sensex over the last 3 months resulting in severe volatility....

Dull period ahead of the year end.... hence, expect the following... Support levels 16500, 15750; Resistance 18200, 18900;

Avoid trading in huge positions in Futures... Indian trading mood is bit if low key due to low IIPs, bad corporate governance news like Kingfisher airlines, inflation and higher interest rates. Currency volatility would impact the profit margins over this quarter too.
