Up Above the Lights So High !!! - A Visit to Light House, Chennai

Up Above the Lights So High !!! 

A Visit to Light House, Chennai

It's 2:30 in the evening and my mobile started ringing to confirm about the meet-up planned at light house. Since it started raining, people doubted whether the plan is on. Thanks god that there is no change in the plan and not much rain too. 

We the Gang - Snap by Prasanna

It was a plan to visit the Light House at Marina Beach by few members of Chennai Bloggers Club. The date and time were fixed in advance so that there won't be any confusion and it was on 1st December, the Sunday @ 3 PM. Guruprasad Rao was the first one to reach and as usual I went there by a 15 minutes delay. One became two, two became three and finally we had 10 people joined together to have the Bird's eye view from the top of the light house. The gang consists of Me, Guruprasad Rao, Sunder Rajan, Subramaniam Thirunavukkarasu, Kaushik, Bragadheesh Prasanna, Shashi sir, Uma Shree mam with her Husband & Daughter. 

The "Q" - Snap by Guruprasad

It was a breezy evening and It all started with a Chukku kaapi ! Who says no to the Chukku Kaapi, that too on this wonderful climate. Then joined the long Que to have the Bird's eye view . The que was too long that it started from light house till Kamarajar statue. Doesn't matter, We started the photo session in the meantime while we are there in the que. Had some fun chats, discussions, samosas, kadalais etc., during the 20 minutes time which we spent on the que. 

Then enters the destination - The Light House. We must appreciate the efforts of the guards who works doubly hard to manage the crowd. The Light house is kept open for public between 10am and 1pm and 3pm to 5 pm. 

The Destination - Light House

Ticket : 

Rs.10 per head for adult 

Rs.5 per head for children, 

Rs.25 for Camera,

Trianglar Stairs - My Snap

Rs.5 for museum.

The light house has 10 floors and we are given the option to use lift or stairs. Wiser to use stairs not just because it burns calories but because of the que which was there for using the lift. And we chose to go by stairs. It was beautifully constructed and the stairs gives a triangular view. Each and every floor has an emergency exit and are under the CCTV surveillance.  Those who come by lift can come till 9th floor and should use the stairs to reach the 10th floor. 

Bird's Eye View - My Click

Here comes the destination - the bird's eye view from the top of the light house. The breeze, the view, the nature makes us to stay there for a longer time. But we were not allowed to view beyond 10 minutes because of the crowd. Time for us to get down. Had even more discussions about the further meet up and the place has been finalised. Umashree mam has left for the day.

We at Beach

The climate was too good as it started drizzling and we the remaining bloggers have decided to go to the sea shore. Cool Breeze, Drizzle and a sea shore - What else is needed !!! Spent some time over there and glad to know more about Shashi sir and his book. He has asked us to contribute to his book "Blogging by Bloggers" and I would like to be a part of it , if time permits. I always love the rain, who won't ! Hence decided to reach home by walking in the rain with umbrella in hand. It took almost half an hour for me to reach home but I loved walking in the beach road during the rain.

Overall , it was a great evening spent with the Chennai Bloggers !! Hope to have such meet up often.

ABC Nee Vaasi ! - English is never a stumbling block for the rural kids....

ABC Nee Vaasi ! 

English is never a stumbling block stone for the rural kids....

There has been a stigma over the years that the rural kids can't learn English and it is an uphill task for the kids and people in village to interact in English.  Theoretically , many things has been told like English is not a difficult language, it is just another language etc.,. But when it comes to practical, only a few works towards what has been said theoretically. 

" It’s kind of fun to do the impossible " - Words of Walt Disney. How many of us see it as fun, is a million dollar question. There is always a risk involved in trying to do the thing which is impossible. But those who are ready to take the risk, can bring the change. 

I Went to an unusual event yesterday by the name "ABC Nee Vaasi" at Pitty Tyagaraya Hall, Chennai. As the name suggests, this is an event related to English by the Eureka primary school students from the "Vembakkam" village in Kanchipuram. I used the term "Unusual Event". Yeah, truly it's an unusual event for me or modestly I can tell, I have never came across any such event. This event showcased the students' abilities in English in all the verticals - Reading, Speaking, Analytical, Reasoning etc., It has been exhibited in the form of game shows and competitions. 

The games has been categorized and the questions are set based on the standards in which the students studies ranging from 1st standard to 5th standard. I personally amazed on seeing the performance of these kids. First thing was their stage presence. The children did't show any sort of stage fear at all. They are very much confident in what they do. In my opinion and my experience, the first step in learning English or any foreign language is to eliminate the fear of that language. These kids have handled it exceptionally well. They are very confident, even if they are wrong - they are not showing the hesitation. That too in front of 100+ audience. 

I must honestly admit that few of the questions have made me to think a long time to find the answer, but these kids have replied at a lightning speed. Even for some questions, I wondered that how the students of this age can answer , But yet again these children proved it. The confidence and the speed at which they are answering were really amazing. 

One thing which needs to be appreciated is, the school not just brought the students from that village, but also brought their parents. I am sure that their parents were proud of their kids and it is a kind of enlightenment which can make them think like we too can interact in English. As an audience, I observed the feel of the parents. Also for some questions, the parents started mumbling the answers... 

The teachers are playing the huge role in it and also the management. It is an uphill task but not an impossible one. They also had a book-stall at the event and I have gone through their materials. Only a stronger basement can bring the stronger building. As such, the materials are too good and provides the stronger basement. They have also shown the video of how they teach the students and also some volunteers have spoke about their teaching methodology. It is truly amazing and an eye-opener for all other schools even in the city !

The speech of Mrs.Vasanthi Devi, Mr. Balaji Sampath who are the backbones of these Eureka Schools have revealed that they want to be the MODEL school in all the ways. And this event has proved that it is going in a right direction. There is no media coverage, no publicity, no hype. But this event being an eye-opener, should be made known to the people and hence I am writing this post in my blog. I am eager to witness their next event and kudos to the entire team who is behind the success of this event "ABC Nee Vaasi". As I usually say in my posts, Be the change and make a difference, here is one change which can make a difference.
