This article is abot the Kaarthigai – the month of lamps.
Lighting lamps during twilight hours on all days of the solar month of Kaarthigai is an age-old practice.
The special occasion is the full moon day in Kaarthigai when all houses and temples will be decorated with oil lamps after sunset. This festival is an important one for both shivites and vaishanvites and is variously known as Bharani deepam, Kaarthigai deepam and Vishnu deepam. This is considered solely as a Tamil festival, as it is not celebrated in other parts of India.
First of all, a clarification on the difference between lighting lamps on Deepavali (as it is done in most of India barring Tamilnadu) and lighting lamps on Kaarthigai pournami. The obvious difference is that Deepavali coincides with New / no moon day whereas Kaarthigai deepam coincides with Full moon day. But the intricate difference is that, lighting lamps on Deepavali is to celebrate a historical event of the death of Narakasura while that of the Kaarthigai is a kind of worship on a cosmically important day. According to the astrological text, Kalaprakasika, kaarthgai deepam is celebrated on the Full moon day of the solar month of kaarthgai. The Full moon is the fundamental signifactor. The star krittika may or may not be present. But the deepam must be lighted on the Full moon. If the full moon continues in the next evening, the deepam must be lit then. Even if there is a lunar eclipse, the deepam must be lit. This festival ensures prosperity and good rains to the country. The lighting time must coincide with exact sun set or just before sunset or at twilight. The twilight is defined as the time when sun will be within 18 degrees below the horizon. It takes 4 minutes to cross a degree. That means twilight stretches for 1 hour.

Good morning all...
No Indians in this world will say that they don't know Super Star Rajnikanth, a actor of kollywood field in southern India.
Rajinikanth (Tamil: ரஜினிகாந்த்; Kannada: ರಜನೀಕಾಂತ್; Marathi: रजनीकांत) (born Shivaji Rao Gaekwad on December 12, 1950 in Bangalore, Karnataka, India) is an Indian film actor and one of the most influential and bankable movie stars in Indian cinema. Rajinikanth's mass popularity and appeal is largely drawn from his mannerisms and stylized delivery of dialogue. He received India's third highest honour, the Padma Bhushan, for his contribution to Indian cinema. Apart from his film career, he is a well known philanthropist and also serves as a notable influence in the politics of Tamil Nadu. Other than acting, Rajinikanth worked as a screenwriter, film producer, and also a playback singer.
Popularily referred to and credited in films as "Superstar" and often called as thalaivar (meaning leader in Tamil), Rajinikanth debuted as an actor in 1975 under the direction of K. Balachander in supporting roles. He was later favored in portraying antagonistic characters and gradually rose to acting in lead roles. Being a well known film artist to several regional film industries of India, he also appeared in the cinemas of other nations, including American cinema. He was reportedly paid Rs. 26 crore (about $5.3 million USD as of January 2009) for his latest blockbuster Sivaji: The Boss, making him the highest paid actor in Asia after Jackie Chan.That's all from me today after I talk about my Super Star.

My presentation

HI to all again... Good day Miss Intan and fellow friends...
Now to the comment about my presentation about movie maker...
I feel very relieved after finished my movie maker project plus the presentation. This is the 1st time i'm doing movie maker and i've learned alot about that software. I'm really thankful to my partner Muhamad Zulhelmi for being so patient with me during doing this project. He had done a very good job in that movie maker, as you all can see. I think my presentation is okay but i think in future i must be more confidence when doing that. hopefully, my future presentations will be more better.
Thata all from me now, take care and have a nice day all.
Beauty is pain
In my opinion,i totally agree with this notion.In this 21st century,appearance is very important.People nowadays is very concern with their beauty.They spend a lot of money for facial products and cosmetics.Some of them also control thier foods and not eating their favourite food also for just maje their body slim.They also spending money for buyng sliming products which bring dead later. They too spend thousand of money to do some surgery likeBotox injection,liposuction,plastic surgery and other beauty treatment which is make them more beauty.However i think the non-natural is not necessary.The beauty which is come through a lot of pain is not stable.So, it is better to look natural which give us confortable life.
