Courtesy!

Respect.
Something that doesn't come on its own,
Something that should be earned.
Yea, but whatever it is, regardless of your age, post, and doctorates,
you should respect one another even if the person is an illiterate.
Same goes other way around,
Youngsters should respect adults,
Adults should respect youngsters too.
WHY?
Because, the EDUCATION that brought you all these fame,
had taught about human rights, equality, humanism and every other noble values.
IF, you have few doctorates, PhD's, excel very excellently in education,
But you fail in respecting another human being,
Then whatever you had learnt has no value.

This is merely because, the knowledge we learn is to help our future,
But the indirect learning that we have acquired is the thing that makes us a 'human'.

Only when you are a human, you are respected.

Regarding the current hot issue.
I'm not saying that the girl nor the moderator was right,
I'm not good in politics either.
I don't know if the fact was right or not,
But all that I know is,
She demands respect.
She is a human being.
She ought to be respected, not humiliated.

In moral we had learnt openness value @ 'sikap keterbukaan' as well as  the right to talk @ 'kebebasan bersuara'.

Both the ladies had the right to voice out.
But they should remember their openness. Which means that one should be able to GIVE and RECEIVE thoughts, new ideas as well as critiques in accordance to the facts and the norms in a society.

SO, in this context, facts. I believe that when we are telling about something, we should have facts to support us, we can't simply blame people, right?
Next, norms in a society, Our society, Malaysian society is known for our COURTESY. RIGHT?
Where is our courtesy now?
Can't we voice out in a harmonic tone with some politeness?

Ponggal. ^^

Ponggal. Have always been home for this special occasion.
But not for the past 3 years (including 2013)

Kinda miss those days where,
I had to prepare with my mom for the prayers.
Where my part is obviously cleaning the house, preparing the prayer things,
then there comes the fun part, putting kolam.
I love that the most, even though I'm not good at it,
I'd still do it. :p
Love holding those colourful rice in hand. ^^

Then, there comes the morning prayer where mom will wait for the milk to boil during the sun rise.
Later she'd make some sweetened rice for us. Which indeed is superlicious. ^^
Then, we'd offer the milk and sweetened rice to God, thence, a prayer, and finally eating time.
Oh yea, we would always go to the temple in the evening.

This occasion is actually to the Sun, sun god.
A way of thanking Him for all the wonders.
Especially because, He helps in making the crops grow better.
SO, it is a token of appreciation. ^^

aAnd for those, who don't know,this occasion occurs for four days.
Begun with Bhogi. where we burn the old things that we don't want.
Then, Ponggal.
Then Maattu ponggal, An occasion for the cows.
And finally, Kanni ponggal. An occasion where the virgins take part. ( In which i haven't take part in it yet. :p)

SO, ponggal is tomorrow.
Here I am in campus.
But I can celebrate it by praying here in the room.
May Suriya Bhagavan always shine upon us. ^^
Happy Ponggal. :D
