Coloured Parakeet !!! ~ பஞ்சவர்ணக்கிளி நீ பறந்த பின்னாலும்

 

To most of us Parrots are green, occasionally there is some with yellow tinge too – here is one pictured in my terrace !!

 

கண்ணில் வரும் காட்சியெல்லாம்  கண்மணியை  உறுத்தும்

காணாத உன் உருவம் கண்ணுக்குள்ள இனிக்கும்

பஞ்சவர்ணக்கிளி நீ பறந்த பின்னாலும்

அஞ்சு வர்ணம் நெஞ்சில் இருக்கு 

Helen Ferguson, filled with dread, holds her baby as Bill Harkness reads a book. The phone rings, and police tell Bill that they are on the way to their home. She puts the child to bed, praying that the boy will not suffer for her mistakes and whispering that she was desperate. A year earlier in New York, Helen is eight months pregnant, unmarried, and broke. She goes to her unfaithful boyfriend Stephen Morley, tearfully pleading for help as she stands in the hallway outside his apartment door. He refuses to answer, but slips under the door an envelope for her, one containing a five-dollar bill and a one-way train ticket to San Francisco. 

Parrots and parakeets are names that are used so interchangeably that it is probably fair if you have come to the assumption that they are the same.  There appears lot into it.  Parrot is an umbrella term applied to a group of birds (more than 350 species) that belong to the order Psittaciformes. 

Our Common assumption is all Parrots are Green hence ‘Green parrots’.  Colloquially, the brightly coloured hued parrot is Panchavarna kili (the one with 5 colours).  Macaws are a group of New World parrots that are long-tailed and often colorful, in the tribe Arini. In addition to being one of the most brightly colored parrots, hyacinth macaws are the largest parrot species. They're also among the most gentle and affectionate birds. However, they're not the ideal pet for everyone. Hyacinth macaws have a reputation for being very sensitive. 

Mekala wants to marry Sekar – an army officer, Chokkalingam first son. To her dismay, he is married to Chitra in Delhi and they have a child. Meanwhile, Chokkalingam is looking for marriage alliance to second son Kannan through marriage broker Kalyanam. Kalyanam learns that Sekar brother already has radio singer Vani in mind. Broker fixes marriage with Vani to Kannan. In a twist, Sekar look alike Balu – Vani niece morphs a photo with him and Vani. The morphed photo is sent to Sekar house to stop the marriage. Confusing and to think that it is a movie theme of 1965 is more intriguing. 

Panchavarna Kili directed by K. Shankar and produced by Saravana Pictures starring Muthuraman, Jaishankar, KR Vijaya, Nagesh, Major Sundarrajan and Manorama,  was released on 21 May 1965, and was a hit, also commercially.  Read that the movie Panchavarna Kili, shot at AVM Studios was inspired by the 1950 film No Man of Her Own.

 No Man of Her Own is a 1950 American film noir drama directed by Mitchell Leisen and featuring Barbara Stanwyck, John Lund, Phyllis Thaxter, Jane Cowl and Lyle Bettger. Made and distributed by Paramount Pictures, the production is the second film Stanwyck made with director Mitchell Leisen. Its screenplay was adapted from Cornell Woolrich's 1948 novel I Married a Dead Man.   The Helen Ferguson storyline read in 3^rd para is that of this movie. 

Welcoming Friday –today my photo pic story captures this beautiful Parakeet – showing off its plumage.  In life, it is not always necessary to understand all details, there are images that capture our attention and make us happy.  Just live life simply.
