ராம்ஜியின் இசை மழலை

இன்று மின்னஞ்சலில் ஒரு திருமண அழைப்பு வந்திருந்தது. அதில் ஆங்கிலத்தில் Issai Mazhalaiயின் கச்சேரி என்றிருந்தது. முதலில் மழை என்று எழுதுவதில் எழுத்துப்பிழை என்று நினைத்தேன். சரி கூகுளாண்டவரிடம் முதலில் கேட்கலாம் என்று பார்த்தால் ஒரே ஆச்சரியம். சிறிய பெரிய குழந்தைகளை வைத்து அபஸ்வரம் ராம்ஜி நடத்தும் இசைக்குழு இது.

யூட்யூபில் தேடினாலும் நிறைய கிடைக்கிறது. சில பாடல்களைப் பார்த்தேன். எனக்கு பிடித்த பிபரே ராமரஸம் பாடலை இந்த குட்டிப்பையன் அனந்தராமன்(நம்ம ஊர்ல இப்படி ஒரு பேரா?) கலக்கிப் போட்டிருக்கிறான் பாருங்கள். என்ன குரல், என்ன திறமை.... அற்புதம். அதுவும் எப்படி அனுபவித்துப் பாடுகிறான்.... பெரிய ஆளாக வருவான் பாருங்கள்.




இசை மழலையைப் பற்றி என் நண்பனிடம் கேட்டேன். இவ்வளவு நாள் எந்த குகையில் இருந்தாயடா என்கிறான். மூன்று வருஷங்களாக ஜெயா டீவியில் வருகிறதாம் இ.ம. பார்க்கலாம் என்னைப் போல் குகைவாசிகள் எத்தனை பேர் என்று....


குகையில் இருந்து வெளியே வந்தால் எவ்வளவோ விஷயங்கள் தெரிகிறது. இங்கே பாருங்கள். மருதமலை மாமணியேன்னு ஒரு சின்ன பையன். சும்மா அதிருதுல்ல...

குழந்தைகள் இலக்கியம் (Fiction by Children)

ரிச்மண்ட் வாழ் சிறுவர் சிறுமியரின் எழுத்துக்களில் முதலாக பெருமையுடன் வழங்குகிறோம், பதினோரு வயது கார்த்திக் செட்டியின் கதையினை.

We proudly present a fiction from 11 year old Karthik Chetty as the first of fictions by Richmond kids.



The Forswarn
by Karthik Chetty

Chapter 1



Running. Running was all Tyran cared about. With deep painful breaths he zigzagged across the deserted desert plain. “Why are they here?” Thought Tyran. “They usually stay with that king of theirs. So-called king. King Ormis was a lazy oaf that lived to eat. Now, Ormis wasn’t as bad as his father, Murtagh the evil, the one who recalled the forsworn from the dead.” Then Tyran suddenly spotted a hole in the ground. He quickly jumped into it not a nanosecond too soon. Because just at that moment the group of masked riders leaped over the hole not even looking down. A shiver went down Tyran’s spine. He had actually seen the forsworn. Tyran looked behind him and found a door. Tyran went in without even caring who was inside.



Chapter 2

Inside the room Tyran found a bunch of people talking around a table. The expression was grim on almost all of their faces. He could feel the tension in the room. He noticed that they were not giving him any attention. Was it that they hadn’t noticed him yet or was it that they didn’t care if he lay crippled at their doorstep? He decided to ask “Who are you people?” “Rude question if you ask me. What a rude way to treat people that you hardly even know!” exclaimed one of the elders of the group. “Well for your information I think I know who you are. I think you are the resistance. The reason I think that is because I am the son of Brom founder of the resistance, and friend of the new leader, Eragon.” “Well, well, well. Look at little smarty-pants. Where did you learn all this?” Asked someone from the group. “Maybe if I told that I got chased by the forsworn all the way here, I wouldn’t need to do any explaining.” Tyran said. “What did you say!!?” said someone that Tyran recognized as Eragon. “Eragon?” asked Tyran. “Yes, yes, but we will have time for reunions later, now we have to make sure those people don’t know that we are here.” said Eragon.



Chapter 3

Tyran got a brief introduction of everyone there. There was Eragon, tall, strong and handsome. Then there was Rowan, short, fast, and kind. After him came Ryoe. She was the tallest of the group besides Eragon. After Ryoe, came Tyris.

Tyris was a bit unusual compared to all the others. It wasn’t something obvious, but…it was just weird. He had some type of camouflage technique because Tyran could hardly even see Tyris. Then Eragon said, “Ah, you have noticed Tyris’s talent.” Tyran immediately felt guilty. As if reading his mind, Tyris said “No need to feel guilty, everyone notices my talent.” “Sorry.” Tyran mumbled. After Tyris there was: Katrina, Araya, Nita, and Dairine. “Let’s get going!” said Eragon.



Chapter 4

By the time they had gotten to the only known hideout of the forsworn, they were all exhausted. They camped outside to regain their strength for the ambush attack the next day. Everyone slept with their swords next to their hands.

***

On the morning of the ambush, everyone was tense. Knives and swords were being sharpened. The braying of the horses was the wake up call to most people. The usual squeaking of the birds was absent this morning, observed Tyran. It is almost as if they know mass slaughter will take place on this very field. Then the dreaded sound, the sound of the war horn blew into Tyran’s ear like a bee attacking a predator. All the fighters gathered around the podium where Eragon was standing. “Their numbers are small. They range only a 100 fighters; the whole off Ormis’s army is here.” boomed Eragon. Yes, thought Tyran. We have 200 men. “But do not be overjoyed. Half our men are healers and trainers.” said Eragon warningly A few hours later they rode out into battle. At once the massive black gates opened revealing all the masked riders or the forsworn. “Charge!” bellowed Eragon. Everyone broke ranks and ran for the huge mass of black. As Tyran was running, he thought of his home and how the forsworn had destroyed it. This thought made his rage rise up inside him as if his rage were water boiling on an open kettle. He was so furious he ran right into the forsworn, sword swirling in the air. He slashed and he swirled as he watched lifeless bodies drop to the ground right in front of him. “We are going to lose.” thought Tyran. But he still kept on slashing through the ranks of the forsworn. After what felt like hours the battle finished. They had beaten the legendary Forsworn. After a quick search of the battlefield, they found out that only half of their forces had been killed. Most importantly one of the forsworn had not died. He had run of right after the battle had started. “We have to be prepared for more attacks from Ormis’s human army.” Eragon had told them. Another thing of importance was a blue sapphire. It was rumored to be one of the only two dragon eggs left. The other one must be in the pocket of the forsworn that escaped, thought Tyran. After a long day, Tyran took a nap and blocked all thoughts so he could rest.

தீபாவளி இந்துக்களின் மிக முக்கியமான பண்டிகை. தீபாவளியை மிக சந்தோஷமாக கொண்டாடுவார்கள். தீபாவளி அன்று வரிசையாக தீபம் ஏற்றுவார்கள்.தீபம் ஏற்றி சுவாமியை வேண்டிகொள்வார்கள். தீபாவளி பண்டிகைக்கு பின்னால் ஒரு கதை உண்டு. பகவான் கிருஷ்னன் நரகாசுரன் என்ற ராக்ஷசணை வதம் செய்த நாளை மக்கள் தீபாவளியாக கொண்டாடுவார்கள். தீபாவளிக்கு தயாராக வீட்டை clean panuvaargal. In addition, they buy themself nice clothes. Some indian kadaigaal sell festive items like gretting cards, decorative items, and flowers. Makaal usually shop at these stores. Celebrating Deepavali is the most exicting part! Kathaala, makaal wake up at 3:00 and take an oil bath. Then they dress in their new clothes. After everybody is dressed up, all children and adults go out and burn FIRECRACKERS! Later, they go inside and devour sweets and other types of food! All Hindus usually look forward to this fun and exicting occasion!


Acrostic Poems - Hari Parasu (10 years)

Bright colors
Is an excellent musician
Remains alert at all times
Deserves the best attention!

Found where there is water
Is mysterious and little-known
Some fish are very colorful
Hundreds of fish types exist!

Deinonychus hunted in packs.
Ichthyosaurus lived in the sea.
Nothosaurus looked like meat-eater and plant eater
Ouranosaurus had a sail to keep from overheating
Supersaurus was huge.
Allosaurus lived in the jungle.
Utahraptor had switchblade knife like claws.
Raptors lived in packs.


The Traveling Cheetah - Gautham Thiagarajan (8 years)

Once there was a cheetah that liked to travel. He traveled everywhere in the grasslands of Africa. But he had a problem he didn't have any friends. One day he was walking and he got lost in Egypt. An Egyptian vulture saw the cheetah and started flying over the cheetah. The cheetah was scared and started to run. The vulture swooped down and landed on cheetah's back. The cheetah was mad that he asked the vulture "Why are you following me ?". The vulture didn't say anything and just tugged the cheetah to a pyramid.

There was a cat at the entrance. The cheetah and the vulture just walked right past the cat. But the cat was following them. Then the cheetah growled at the cat then the cat screamed and the scream echoed on the pyramid which got the cheetah running all over the pyramid. The vulture had to fly fast and low. The cheetah dug a hole underground and stayed under and kept on digging so the vulture had to go in the hole. The cheetah dug until they were outside the pyramid. They kept on running until they got out of Egypt. They ran to the cheetah's home.

Once they wanted to go somewhere else but they got wound up in Egypt. They thought they were going to go to the pyramids again. But they went to Cairo the capital of Egypt. The cheetah and the vulture saw a ship and they got in the ship and started to play. The captain thought they were good to be in a zoo in America. All the passengers started to board the ship. Meanwhile the cheetah had just discovered the control room. The cheetah pressed a button and the steel rope uncurled itself. Just when the boat was moving the captain jumped on the ship. Then the cheetah pressed a button that had a picture of the American flag. The captain ran as fast as he could to the control room. Then he started to sail the ship. They finally reached America.

The moment the captain got off the ship he took them to his house. Then they escaped through the window. They ran to the a airport and went through the gate that had the picture of Egypt. They sat in the front seat and then the plane started moving. But the plane sank in the Atlantic Ocean. The cheetah and the vulture found a mini boat and rowed in the direction of the rising sun. They found themselves in West Africa. They ran back to cheetah's home. The cheetah and the vulture would never go on a adventure like that ever again.
