Discipline !  ~ when will humans learn to follow  Q, be polite  and drive orderly !!

lean flow of vehicles near Kathipara !!

 

Vehicles flow !!  symmetry is poetry ~ discipline is social distancing

பேச்சி பேச்சி நீ பெருமை உள்ள பேச்சி! ~ HOme on the Range !!

 

For sure you have heard this song multiple times !! ~  a wild bull, Ramarajan clad in veshti, sings and the Bull simply bows to him !!  - Enga Ooru Pattukkaran – Ramarajan (seethan) an orphan milkman in love with Shenbagam, daughter of a wealthy landlord. 

பேச்சி பேச்சி நீ பெருமை உள்ள பேச்சி! பேச்சி பேச்சி நீ அருமை உள்ள பேச்சி

வாடி வாடி என்னுடைய பேச்சி! வாடி வாடி என்னுடைய பேச்சி

ஏழூரு சீமையிலும் உன்போல யாருமில்ல

எட்டாத ஊரிலெங்கும் உன்போல பேருமில்ல

எப்போதும் நன்றி உள்ள உன்போல ஜீவன் இல்ல

 

Ever heard of this song !

Oh, give me a home where the buffalo roam,

Where the deer and the antelope play;

Where seldom is heard a discouraging word,

And the skies are not cloudy all day.

Home, home on the range,

Where the deer and the antelope play;

Where seldom is heard a discouraging word,

And the skies are not cloudy all day.

In 1889, amidst the Old West, wanted cattle rustler Alameda Slim depletes almost all cattle from the Dixon Ranch, leaving only a single show cow, Maggie. The ranch owner, Abner Dixon, sells her to a kind woman named Pearl Gesner, who runs a small farm called Patch of Heaven.

Sam Brown, the local Sheriff, arrives to tell Pearl that unless she pays back the bank in three days, her farm will be sold to the highest bidder. Hearing this, Maggie convinces farm cows Grace and Mrs. Calloway to go to town with her to win prize money at a fair. While the cows are in town, a bounty hunter named Rico drops off a criminal, collects their reward, and looks for a replacement horse while his rests. Idolizing him, Sam's horse, Buck, convinces Rico to take him. Upon seeing this and learning the reward for capturing Slim will cover Pearl's debt, Maggie convinces the other cows to help her collect the reward to save Patch of Heaven.

Home on the Range (2004) is the Disney animated film centred on three dairy cows who set out to save their farm.  The title comes from the old American western song “Home on the Range”, so it is a very natural association for this cow photograph.   Written and directed by Will Finn and John Sanford, it starred the voices of Roseanne Barr, Judi Dench, Jennifer Tilly, Cuba Gooding Jr., Randy Quaid, and Steve Buscemi.

The film is set in the Old West and follows a mismatched trio of dairy cows—brash, adventurous Maggie; prim, proper Mrs. Calloway; and ditzy, happy-go-lucky Grace. The three cows must capture an infamous rustler named Alameda Slim for his bounty in order to save their idyllic farm from foreclosure.  Home on the Range premiered at the El Capitan Theatre in Los Angeles, California in Mar 2004, and was theatrically released in the United States by Buena Vista Pictures Distribution. The film received mixed reviews from critics, and underperformed at the box office, grossing $145.3 million against a $110 million budget.

Interesting !

Tribute to Sri V Parthasarathi

To us at Triplicane today [23.9.2026] did not dawn nicely as we were shaken with the news of passing away of Sri V Parthasarathi.   

In the land of Allikkeni, named after Emperuman, there are so many Parthasarathis – yet this person was unique.  Gentle in manner, pleasant in disposition and ever ready with a warm smile, he endeared himself to all around him. His final moments too were peaceful, as though reflecting the calmness with which he had lived.

Mr Varadhachari Parthasarathi hailing from Karappangadu, retired as Asst Commissioner from Central Excise and was 79, resident of famed Agaram house at South Tank Sq Street, Triplicane, overlooking the divine Kairavini pushkarini.

To all of who knew him or seen him – he was genuinely simple and non-materialistic person of deep knowledge, soft and measured at words. The way he carried himself deeply reflected his personality of sincerity, unwavering dedication and living with purpose.  In his career, as a principled officer rising from Superintendent to Assistant Commissioner, he fearlessly acted against corruption and unlawful activities, and led midnight raids on highways, earning numerous accolades  in his distinguished career. 

Beyond his duty, he radiated warmth and enthusiasm. He  made it a point to attend every function he was invited to, always showing up with joy and presence.  His strong faith and adherence to religious practices were worthy of appreciation and emulation. He was very regular and punctual in participating  in daily  Sahasranama Stotra Parayanam at kulakkarai Sri Aanjaneyar temple [Thiruvadi kovil]    

He was a good family person taking care of his beloved wife Smt Mythili (who preceded him a few years ago!).  Mrs Mythili, born in 1954 too was a versatile personality.  Graduated in B.Sc Physics with 83%; she could recite holy Naalayira divyaprabantham with ease.  Had qualifications of Typewriting/Shorthand / Hindi -  French Diploma (3 yrs ) from “Alliance Française de Madras.” & !!  Russian one year in Madras University beside being good in making baskets, dolls, playing Veena and tailoring.  She used to write exams helping Braille students too.

Mr Parthasarathi was an exemplary father who poured his heart into raising his two sons, ensuring they received the finest education. Whether serving his country or his community as an eager volunteer, he gave his absolute best to everything he touched.

Sri V Parthasarathi will ever be remembered as a man of calm disposition, gracious manners and an ever-pleasant smile. His cheerful nature and gentle way of dealing with people made his presence warm, reassuring and memorable.

Sadly Triplicane lost him this morning as he slept peacefully to reach Acharyan thiruvadi.  Obsequies will be held at his home at 3 South Tank Street, Triplicane, Chennai 600 005 tomorrow.

With regards and deep sadness – S Sampathkumar.
