POLAROID

In my child hood days i was facinated with the polaroid camera which i saw in a movie. some hero/villain takes a snap and view it immediately.

polaroid make instant still images and capture them in a white frame.

i was wondering how the film gets processed in the camera itself.till now i have never seen or taken a picture using polaroid camera.

it seems polaroid has now stopped manufacturing the instant films.

surya used to take pictures in the movie ghajini. recently i saw a photo exhibition which displayed photos taken using polaroid camera by joel suganth

Bharathiar and Michael sir

when i was studying in REC,trichy we had an excellent professor. his name is Michael. he was having good command over english. he taught us the software engineering subject. on his first session he intoduced himself and told us the plan on how he is going to handle his classes. he not only stuck to his plan but also he made the subject very interesting he presented himself well as well as the subject. on his last session he wrote the following lines from bharathiar poem "varam kaettal" in the board and explained the meaning and gave an wonderful talk. from then i started liking bharathiar and i remember these lines whenever i need some motivation.

தேடிச் சோறு நிதந்தின்று
பலசின்னஞ்சிறு கதைகள் பேசி
மனம்வாடித் துன்பமிக உழன்று
பிறர்வாடப் பலசெயல்கள் செய்து
நரைகூடிக் கிழப்பருவம் எய்தி
கொடுங்கூற்றுக் கிரையெனப்பின் மாயும்
பலவேடிக்கை மனிதரைப் போலே
நான்வீழ்வேனென்று நினைத்தாயோ?
----------------------------------------
நின்னைச் சில வரங்கள் கேட்பேன்
அவைநேரே இன்றெனக்குத் தருவாய்
என்றன் முன்னைத் தீயவினைப் பயன்கள்
இன்னும்மூளாதழிந்திடுதல் வேண்டும்
இனி என்னைப் புதிய உயிராக்கி
எனக்கேதுங் கவலையறச் செய்து
மதிதன்னை மிகத் தெளிவு செய்து
என்றும்சந்தோஷங் கொண்டிருக்கச் செய்வாய்!
