Ablaze in a Blizzard

Inspirational Park is one of the many brain child of Colonel Ganesan.Before going into the details let us analyse the background of this noval Project. We know that Ganesan comes from a rural agriculture family. When Ganesan was about 4-5 years old the family members were Father side grand parents , Mother side two meternal uncles, and seven brothers sisters. Reasonably well off family and all elders were uneducated. The first generation to go to school was that of Ganesan only. Tru to the nature of village life Ganesan's family had about 10-15 buffellows/cows, about 10 goats, about 10 poultry birds and about 3-4 workers who comes for works on annual basis. The family had both dry and wet lands where all types of cropes were grown. There will be no difference between workers and owners. All will be in fields at the time of work. For example at the time of paddy cultivation, the work starts with dumping of dry mannure in the fields with the help of bullock carts in March April. These heaps sould be spread uniformly before water enters the field. In June-Jully when Mettur Dam is opened for aggriculture, water comes in all the branches of Cauvery and further in the canals that feeds the field. At the river head where the canal takes off it will be written that this canal is meant for these villages etc. Once water enters the field ploughing takes place. There will be 3-4 pairs ploughing bulls and 2-3 on hire basis. Ganesan and his two brothers will getup arround 4.00 AM take three pairs of bulls and go to the field where ploughing is planned. All other impliments would be kept there by the elders. They will start ploughing up to 6-6.30 AM by which time the elders and other workres will join. Ganesan and his brothers will take bath in the canal, rush back home have old rice and curd as brakfast, packed lunch and walk 3-4 Km to school.

In between milking of cow/Buffellows, take milk to venders will also be done with the help of sisters. These elaborate explanation is given just to drive home that Ganesan enjoyed whole heartedly the agriculture works. He started reading Dr.M.Varatharajan's ( the famous mu.va ) books like "kallo kaviyamo, Akal vilakku, Kariththundu etc. Life history of Vadaloor Ramalinga Adikal, Vaishnava saint Ramanujar were also of his interest. Naraayana guru of kerala and his followers, Ramana maharishi, Autobiography of Paramahamsa yogananda , Life and achievement of Vivekananda and Gandhis "My experiment with truth" These type of readings had put Ganesan in a highly truthfull path and came to the conviction that "Mind is the Master and Concience is the God. He did not develop any material interest and money did not attract him. As years rolled down Ganesan became like a saint with deep concern for humaity as they waste the precious gift of human birth. He had no deep desire about his career. when he was in SSLC his mother was in Govt TB sanitorium, Sengipatti. At home were his father, two younger brothers and one younger sister. Ganesan was taking care of all . He will get up by 4.00AM, cook food for all, study for the final SSLC exam and run 3-4 Km to attend school. After morning exam go to the nearby temple premises, have lunch and prepare for afternoon exam.Get back home and cook night food. Under these circustances when he passed SSLC it was like a routine message with no exitement as the next activities starts as usual. After 15 days of the school result his brother came and asked for school TC. After the school result Ganesan did not go to school at all and did not know that TC is to be taken. He had no idea about higher education. Like a sheep following his master he did what ever his elder brother told him to do.

His three years stay in hostel doing hisDiploma in civil Engineering slowly and steadily opened the outside world to him. Maha kavi Bharathis தேடிச்சோறு நிதம் தின்று Deelply struck him kindling his sub concious mind. At the same time writter Naa. Parthasarathy's noval " Kurinjimalar "was coming in Kaki weekly. The hero of the noval "Aravindhan" slowly and steadily encroached his mind. When he came out of Polytechnic, he was a transformed youth more concerned about this country and humanity in general. His Army life, the two wars he paticipated , his mothers death and how he was denied to see her and how she came to meet him etc had put Ganesan in different path. He was highly patriotic and loved this country and its heritage. The appontment of India's leader at world forum in Antarctica further strengthened his love for this country. The cosmic message that no one in his village were aware of his achievements brought him back to his village Sannanallur. That gave him the decision that "not only he alone but every human being is gifted with great capability. It is upto every individual to find out his strength and develop that so that himself and the society will be benifited. That is how "The Inspirational Park " took shape.
