Responsibility and Sacrifice

Ponna monday, naan enga university-la irukira oru lecturer-oda pesitu irunthen..His name is Nakeeran..Anna Uni la thaan PhD mudichitu, then he was working as a postdoctoral researcher in many universities throughout the world for 10 years..ippo thaan univ of Aberdeen-la lecturer velai kidaichu vanthu irukirar..I was asking how is the standard here compared to the Indian system of education? Avar sonnar, that the education system is useless compared to the Indian counterparts..I didnt agree with him completely..Naan sonnen, naama thevai illama oorla - irukira ellatheyum thandama padichitu irukom..naan BE - la 64 subjects padichen in 8 semesters..first yr la maths,physics, eng drawing-nu neraya thevai illama padichen..ippadi ovaru semesters-layum we ended up studying loads..and at the end of day - I dont know what I studied..so no use-nu sollitu irunthen..but he didnt agree with it..So I asked him - then how come all the greatest inventions in this world were by whites? y by not our ppl?Athuku avar sonna pathil thaan intha blog-oda topic..

"Responsibility" was the main obstacle in achieving recognition and success-nu sonnar..He said "the main reason y our ppl dont achieve the kind of success like what the whites have is that because we dont do a job that satisfies ourselves - we r working for the sake of working"..avar sonnathu romba correct-ana vishayam..If we dont like what we are doing, and if we force ourselves to do things - then we are not going to achieve great heights in our profession..He further added "the main reason y we are not able to choose the profession we like is that because of the term responsibility. We cannot risk doing what we like, due to several reasons..But see the whites, they dont have anything to worry about..daily ovaru ponnoda suthuran..he need not worry abt marriage..he need not worry abt his parents..he need not worry abt his children..he does whatever he wants to..and he does that with 100% conviction and satisfaction..that is y they are successful in life...moreover even in research - u c the white ppl working mon-fri for several hrs..they think only abt research..saturday - sunday they dont think abt it..but naama appadiya..velai seyum pothu - namma pondati pathi nenaipom..kulanthaiyai patti nenaipom..we have to go early since our family will be waiting for us.." So we r sacrificing ourselves for the sake of responsibility...

Intha sacrifice enbathu romba mukiyamana vishayam..Intha ulagame sacrifice ennum varthaiyil thaan iyangirathu..Ennaku sacrifice-nu sollum pothu - pengal thaan nyabagam varuvarkal..reason - my mother..When my mother lost her mother when she was 10, she took the responsibility of bringing up her sister (chitthi)..My mother took the responsibility of bringing us up..Intha valkai en amma pota pitchai!..Ippadi thaan ovaru thaaiyum than pilaikalai irathathai sinthi kaapathuranga..Ennoda chitthi engaluku-kaga seykira thyagam cannot be said in words...When a gal is about to give a child, the sacrifice she undertakes is tremendous..Ippadi neraya thyagangal-ai sollitu pogalam..Shanmugapriya sonnathu pola, ennoda pulambalkalai daily ketkiranthum - ennaku advice panurathum en anbana friends Parvati, Viji and Shubavum thaan :)..So avanga seyrathum oru vithathula periya sacrifice thaan :)..Ippo neenga intha blog-a time waste panni padichathum oru sacrifice thaan :)..

Hey....arjun...so happy to see my name in your blog....But i don accept family has anything to do with success...A good girl in life will definitely bring more success in a man's life..She can take all problems out of his brain and make him conc on his work...Thandathukku kanda kanda subj Be padichom I accept...We don do great inventions cos...the funding is not enuf...but researchers throughout the world majority of them are indians,,,,,Family kolanthai ..nalla pondatti..will definitely make a man more successful....Amma kolanthaikku panrathu per thyagam illai...thats pleasure...puritha?

Shuba - Yeah I agree with that..But we dont have to marry to be successful right..Appadi paartha Vajpayee,Abdul Kalam, en friend Sriram ellam kalyanam panama successful-a irukanga..my friend Sriram has so much responsibilities in life - that he is not able to do what he wants to do..that is what I am trying to say..

"Amma kolanthaikku panrathu per thyagam illai...thats pleasure...puritha?"

I agree - but I am saying its sacrifice from the child's point of view..puriyutha? :)

a very good topic --- ippo neenga eduthurukarathu.
"A good girl in life will definitely bring more success in a man's life"
as shuba said - ths s true...but at the same time, adha gents ellorum purinjukarathu illa. too good - neenga adha unardhirukireenga. aanna life la most a yaarume andha veetula irukkara ladies oda sacrifice a purinjukarathu illa. eppo adha unarvaanga theriyuma.... avangala oru kattathula ezhakum bothu...!
adha naan oru vidhathula selfish nu kooda solluvein. yeinna... girls a porutha varai - edho sacrifice nu ninaichu edhuvume pannrathu illa. adhukku peru sacrifice um kidayathu. they live 4 their family not 4 thm, but boys... appadi kidayathu. adhukaaga ella pasangalayum sollrein nu ninaikaadheenga... 99% ippadi thaan. edho 1% ( ungala maadhiri... ) thaan adha realize pannraanga.

Arjun, nice thought provoking post. but i can't accept ur/profess views on family sys w.r.to vellaikaran and namma allungka.
They live a freeky life. Do You know one thing? after sep 11th 2001 incident, many vellaikara pasanga started trusting on family sys. and rate of divorce had decreased.
Monogamy is the symbol of india. (he hee,site adikkalam, thapillai)
They pretend to be happy. but not exp the true happinees.

Hope U r not offended by my comments.

arjuna

very nice topic.

White peoplesayum engalayum compare panna thevay illainu ninaykurean.
avvangala porutha varaykum

"inayku sertha naalayku paal."

Like Veda said avangaluku appapa enna thevaiyo atha appapa fulfil panipaanga.

Naanga tamils appadi ellam illai, paasam "pongy ellam valliyum"...

Antha anbhu, paasam, alavodhu irukum pothu OK u got ur family support so life successful ahidum.
but athu valkayla overa irunthichuna than thappu -
i mean possessiveness.

ennoda namemum unga blogla ulaavuthu !
nalla mathiry podadiyum kudama podala !

thanks !
