Chandramukhi Enters Fancy Dress Competition...


(photo courtesy Hindu)
Anything out of the ordinary always attracts attention. I read this article in Hindu and was instantly impressed. I have myself participated in a few fancy dress competitions during my school days. But it was always the routine make-ups you would see in any fancy dress competition - Iyer mami with madisar, radha, nurse etc. I keep asking my amma, couldn't you think of anything else at all. Easier said than done ah? My amma was working and I guess she would have had a tough time - thinking of ideas, preparing me, hunting for costumes, dressing me up. Infact, she used to take off that day. The competitions are more of a test for the parents than the kids. My sister got to do a Burmese once. I still remember how we hunted for her burmese costume. But it was a big hit. I guess, the routine nehru, gandhi, indra gandhi have all taken a back seat now and children are becoming more creative (or should I say the parents!).

The girl in pic won the price for her performance as chandramukhi in a fancy dress competition conducted by BSNL! Way to Go!

Yea, I loved such fancy dress competitions too! I agree that it was more intended towards the innovativeness of the parents..

My mom once dressed me up like a 'horoscope' man with a parrot in my hands. He was my pet, I was irritated because a huge crowd of children gathered around me to have a look at my parrot and he got agitated and became restless..Poor soul!
 
Impressive!

Lemme know how the bloggers meet goes :)
 
Yeah I too saw this, very good effort by that girl and her parents, close to reality...clothes, accessories..expression all well done.
 
That girl's parents had some guts. I remember showing up as a minister from S.Ve.Sekhar's Aiyeram Udhai Vangiye Aburva Sigamani, but that was simple, a dothi, glasses and a towel, the one that this girl pulled needed a lot of time and I think they have done a good job.
 
Though I appreciate the creativity exhibited by Parents and the child in this latest episode, I'm a bit saddened by the fact that they resorted to cinema for their creative thought!

Its unfortunate that we are grooming our younger generation to ape and mimic what the movie stars "dole out" in the name of performance..As if there is a derth of imagination, we keep going back to the cinema for everything .. right from the dresses, to the mannerisms, etc..

Its a sad reality that we are starting to see a generation that has NO, I repeat, NO role models of any kind left and all they are left to deal with are the rising importance of Movie stars..Unfortunately, there is no Gandhi, Nehru, et al left in the minds of these parents and children as their little brains are bombarded with messages from the moviedom every minute of their existance in TN..

Though I appreciate every bit of the creativity expressed in this instance, I wish they utilized this opportunity to sow a seed of "inspiration" in the young mind..Hope this culture of aping movie stars changes in the days to come..
 
OMG!!! I am scared!!!!!!!!

Make no mistake: Our mission at Tip Top Equities is to sift through the thousands of underperforming companies out there to find the golden needle in the haystack. A stock worthy of your investment. A stock with the potential for big returns. More often than not, the stocks we profile show a significant increase in stock price, sometimes in days, not months or years. We have come across what we feel is one of those rare deals that the public has not heard about yet. Read on to find out more.

Nano Superlattice Technology Inc. (OTCBB Symbol: NSLT) is a nanotechnology company engaged in the coating of tools and components with nano structured PVD coatings for high-tech industries.

Nano utilizes Arc Bond Sputtering and Superlattice technology to apply multi-layers of super-hard elemental coatings on an array of precision products to achieve a variety of physical properties. The application of the coating on industrial products is designed to change their physical properties, improving a product's durability, resistance, chemical and physical characteristics as well as performance. Nano's super-hard alloy coating materials were especially developed for printed circuit board drills in response to special market requirements

The cutting of circuit boards causes severe wear on the cutting edge of drills and routers. With the increased miniaturization of personal electronics devices the dimensions of holes and cut aways are currently less than 0.2 mm. Nano coats tools with an ultra thin coating (only a few nanometers in thickness) of nitrides which can have a hardness of up to half that of diamond. This has proven to increase tool life by almost ten times. Nano plans to continue research and development into these techniques due to the vast application range for this type of nanotechnology

We believe that Nano is a company on the move. With today�s steady move towards miniaturization we feel that Nano is a company with the right product at the right time. It is our opinion that an investment in Nano will produce great returns for our readers.
