Pongal Festival




Pongal, celebrated mainly in Tamil Nadu, is a popular harvest festival and marks the auspicious beginning of the sun's northward journey towards the equinox, known as Uttarayan. Pongal celebrates the first harvest of the year. The festival, which is celebrated over four days, coincides with Makar Sankranti and Lohri, which is celebrated in North India.

Pongal translates to "spilling over" and the festival derives its name from the tradition of boiling rice in a pot till it starts overflowing. Other popular traditions in the celebration of Pongal include the drawing of rangolis and cooking of the Pongal dish, which is a Tamil preparation of rice boiled with milk and jaggery.

This year, Pongal began on January 13 and ends on January 16. The first day of Pongal is called Bogi, or Bhogi Pongal, and is celebrated in honour of Lord Indra. Lord Indra is considered the God of clouds and rains, and is believed to bring plenty and prosperity to the land.

The film unfolds in Mumbai - Kollywood's favourite shooting spot these days - and Ajith once again plays a character with negative shades. Perhaps boosted by the success of his 2011 film Mankatha, the actor returns to the Salt-and-Pepper look as well. But, other than Ajith, the film has stellar cast, directed by Vishnu Varadhan. The plot centres around Ashok (Ajith), a former bomb disposal specialist with Maharashtra's Anti-Terrorism Squad who is on a (revenge) mission. Ably supported by (Maya) Nayanthara and Arya (Arjun), Ashok plots the downfall of the state home minister (Mahesh Manjrekar), the kingpin behind many nefarious activities and scams plaguing the police ...

Shinchan full tamil episodes download torrent

I would like to clarify that the story circulating on social media regarding the inspiration of Crayon Shin-chan series is just a false rumor. It is  not  true. I've been a big fan of the series ever since I first saw it on TV. I have seen all movies, read all mangas and seen almost all episodes in the original version. I have even read critics and reviews from Japan. The original author Yoshito Usui before beginning his career as a mangaka worked at a shop called Darakuya store. The founder and owner of the store was Shinnosuke Nikaidō. In 1987, he started his mangaka career by creating a manga called “Darakuya Store Monogatari” inspired by his experiences, which got published in the magazine Weekly Manga Action. Shinnosuke Nikaidō was one of it's characters and the manga depicted his growing up from a boy to becoming the store owner. The then editor in charge, Katsuyuki Hayashi, suggested Usui that if they make this character as the protagonist of another manga, it...
