THE PHOTOGRAPHERS

Mostly, the photographers are the invisible men in the events. Their photo often missing from the action. So for this posting, we are going to appreciate them...

Wiki info

Thaipusam (Tamil: தைப்பூசம், Taippūcam ) is a Hindu festival celebrated mostly by the Tamil community on the full moon in the Tamil month of Thai (January/February).

It is celebrated not only in countries where the Tamil community constitutes a majority, but also in countries where Tamil communities are smaller, such as Singapore and Malaysia.

The festival is also referred to as Thaipooyam or Thaippooyam (Malayalam: തൈപ്പൂയം, Taippūyaṁ). The word Thaipusam is derived from the month name Thai and Pusam, which refers to a star that is at its highest point during the festival.

The festival commemorates the occasion when Parvati gave Murugan a vel (spear) so he could vanquish the evil demon Soorapadman. There is a misconception among people that Thaipusam marks Murugan's birthday; however, it is believed that Vaikhasi Vishakam, which falls in the Vaikhasi month (May/June), is Murugan's birthday.

NOT THE BEST SESSION...

First Day28First Day26First Day09
It has been two weeks since the school started. Many things need to be done. A lot of matters need to be solved.

It was not the best opening school session for me this year. I don't know, may be lack of communication with the top management (well, maybe with only one them), denying for redeployment, arrgggh!

Anyway, I will try my best to keep this blog alive...
