My Drama

விவேகானந்தர் காலிஃபோர்னியாவில் பேசியது பிரசித்தி பெற்ற உரை. 'சகோதர, சகோதரிகளே!' என்று அவர் பேசியது இன்றும் பலரால் நினைவுகூரப்படுகிறது. அந்த நிகழ்வை போற்றும் வகையில் அந்த பயணத்தின் பின்னணியை கூறும் விதமாக எடுக்கப்பட்டது இந்த நாடகம். 

பொதுவாக என்னுடைய பள்ளியில் 10th & +2 மாணவர்களை நாடகங்களில் நடிக்கவைக்க மாட்டார்கள், காரணம் பொதுத்தேர்வு. ஆனால், 2013 ஆண்டு நான் 12ம் வகுப்பு மாணவன், அதுவும் பொதுத்தேர்வுக்கு 2 மாதங்களே இருந்த காலகட்டம். அவ்வாண்டு விவேகானந்தரின் 150ம் ஆண்டு கொண்டாட்டம். இந்த நாடகத்தில் நடிக்க வேண்டும் என பலரை தேடிய பிறகு என்னை தேர்தெடுத்தனர் தமிழ்த்துறை ஆசிரியர்கள் திரு.முத்து மற்றும் திரு.குமரன். அதற்காக பள்ளி நிர்வாகத்திடம் சிறப்பு அனுமதி பெறப்பட்டது. என்னுடைய 12ம் வகுப்பு தேர்வு முடிவுக்கு அவர்களே பொறுப்பென கையெழுத்திட்டனர். 

இவை அனைத்திற்கும் காரணம் ஒன்றே, அது 150ம் ஆண்டு கொண்டாட்டம் என்பதால்  விவேகானந்தர் என்ற நபரை பார்வையாளர்களின் கண்முன்னே நிறுத்தவேண்டும். நான் அந்த பாத்திரத்திற்கு நியாயம் செய்தேனா என்று எனக்கு தெரியாது ஆனால், நிச்சயம் பேரை கெடுக்கவில்லை என்று நம்புகிறேன். 

    
                                                                       

Swami Vivekanandha' speech in California is a famous one. The oration starts with the prefix 'Dear Brothers and Sisters..' is still remembered by many. This school drama was taken on the 150th Birth Anniversary of Vivekanandha in 2013, which narrates about the background of the famous speech. 

Usually, school management won't allow 10th & 12th students to perform in the cultural events, due to Board Exams. But, after searching many faces Mr. Muthu & Mr.Kumaran, both from Dept. of Tamil, approached me for the role. They had given an undertaking form to the management for the special permission for me to act in the role, which stated that they both will be the responsible persons for my exam performance. 

All these high dramas before the event was to show the audience a face, that they should accept him as Vivekanandha. I don't know whether I had done the justice to the role, but for sure I believe that I haven't done injustice to it!


P.S.: I have scored good marks in the board exams :)

Germany Days-3

The very next day was maximum of travelling. We left to  Braunschweig via ICE (Inter-City Express). We had the breakfast from the hotel and taken a parcel for afternoon, as we'll be mostly travelling for the day. The plan was to have a changeover at Frankfurt and take the second train to reach our destination. But for our surprise, the train was running late for about 40 minutes, co-passengers said that this is not usual. Due to the delay, our plan got changed. Instead of changing in Frankfurt, we were asked to change in Hannover.  We were travelling in the reserved coach and we were not sure whether someone will come there to occupy the seat after Frankfurt, as our original reservation was till then. Finally we managed to reach Hannover without any hassle. Till now we had seen the country, which is quite calm , neat and less populated. But the scene in Hanover was completely different. The station was so crowded and it was not that clean. We all were puzzled and even to board the

Germany Days- 4

We packed our things and set off for Berlin, the capital, via a private bus, as covering the ~200 km distance by public transport would have been difficult. One curious thing we noticed as we began the journey was that the driver insisted everyone wear seat belts—it was mandatory. I found it uncomfortable sitting in a two-seater with a seatbelt on and felt a bit suffocated. So, midway through the journey, I moved to the back seat, even though it was technically against traffic regulations! You won’t believe this, but during my entire week of traveling across the country, I heard a car horn only twice. The first time was on this long road trip, and even then, it was a mild sound, and the second was in a Berlin market area. The trip taught us many valuable lessons. For instance, everyone strictly followed lane discipline. There was a ~25 km traffic jam on the national highway due to heavy truck traffic, but none of the vehicles, including our bus, moved into the car lane, even though it
