Just like a normal day,rushing through the daily chores dropped my wife at the office parked my bike at nandanam metro. Took the metro to alandur and had the CMRL Feeder service to get dropped at Chennai Trade Center where my colleague-friend-buddy joins me for the visit to the water exhibition and we tag along and meet the various exhibitors collecting information relevant to our business. After spending reasonable time at the exhibition we decided to move on and he dropped at the Guindy Metro and had to take the train to pick my bike. Unwinds from here is the most dramatic sequence of events of which I was completely unaware. Waiting for the train was fiddling with the stuff and heard the rumbling noise of the train to station, boarded the same, alighted at Nandanam Metro, picked my bike and was on the way home for the next activity. Few mins on my bike suddenly realised that one of my mobile was missing, without much thought quickly rushed back to the Nandanam Metro, put my bik...

What is communication? We often come across people having difficulty in communicating well. They can be differentiated into formal and informal. Formal ones are classified into letter writing, emails and informal ones are normal speaking. Many of them assume that it is important to construct the conversation but it's equally important to get what needs to be conveyed to whom you are speaking with. It makes it all the more important that we know the audience whom we are addressing that will decide the level of the language to be used. It is important to note that often as content writing it is important to write in an approach depending on the target  audience. What is important to know your audience and then decide on the level of communication. Recently was going through some piece of history, where Kasturba Gandhi was visiting an ashram where they are weaving Cotton Saree, as is normal ladies get interested in sarees so was the Lady, she wanted ask the weaving lady if...

What is exam fear?  Often in the times when i used to write exams, it will seem like the preparation is good enough but sometimes in the examination hall we find that maybe our mind is blank and are fearful. Once we see the exam papers, we start becoming nervous of much we know. It is important  to remain calm in such scenarios. Suddenly we also find that we are not able to write the answers which we are confident. Recently heard a learned tamil religious motivational orator as i call him known by the name suki sivam . He is seriously impressive and gave an excellent analogy for the same and wanted to share this in an nice drafted article. We often tune the radio to the frequency in which my song is being played,  if my song is being played in radio mirchi and i listen to radio one i will not be able to listen i want to hear. when we read at home the environment is very calm and hence the brain waves are different from the ones which we experience in the exam hall whe...

There was a man who worshipped Lord Krishna with a devotion in the aspect of seeing his beloved Lord with his worship. He continued this for a length of time,  nothing actually happened, with Lord not showing up against his devotion. A friend of his suggested that he's may try to worship Lord Muruga instead of Lord Krishna, he kind of agreed to the thought and replaced the idol and started to worship Lord Muruga, he had got the Lord Krishna packed and kept in the loft. This continued for about more than two months or so,  one day he noticed that the offerings he had kept for Lord Muruga, was making its way to the loft where the old packed idols were kept. He got wild about this and saying that all the time i have been making the offerings,  you did not bother about me and now you atree steal into the offerings to my new found Lord. He then took the idol tied a cloth around the nose to prevent this,  just at that time Lord Krishna presented himself to his astonishm...

After going through the irreparable loss, trying to attempt and overcome the incident. I was trying to find some of the last pictures, moments, voice recording and any video,  only to find that i have some pictures and not any recording where i could listen to some of her songs she used to sing. She is not a seasoned musician but used to practice singing on the daily basis for about twenty years as much i can recollect. I used to come back from office will find her practising  her standard list of ten songs she will sing everyday. According to me,  she was good in singing and will be asked to sing during the golu and other occasions as i can recall. I could not find a single recording of hers to listen once,  so i realise the magical moments of her songs have been missed and have nothing to listen to. What i have is some last conversations i had with her which just got recorded by chance not planned. We often do not realise all this in the everyday fast pace of ...

In our everyday life we often do not perceive the fact we are in essence racing against time like hour clock. We keep claiming to have control of most of things do not accept the mere fact. We are just puppets in the large drama as called as maya. We tend to procrastinate many things in the life which could be small or big and when we realise it is a bit too late for us to do anything. In the busy state of life, we miss tiny moments of happiness or spending quality time with near and dear ones,  by the time you think it feels like the quick sand slipping out of the hands. So it is important to keep an eye on such things which many a times goes unnoticed, what is left is just helplessness and remorse. Also would like to say emphatically that if you feel something or want to share some thoughts be sure you are sharing rather than saying we will convey and left with no option. Do not leave anything for future.

It was a usual bright sunny morning in Chennai which was very unbearable I take a small walk and return back home only to find that with this exertion I felt very thirsty. Suddenly a thought occurred to my mind which sprang towards setting up a water station in my Housing Colony where I stay to provide water to those who are always on the road and do not have the facility to carry a water bottle for drinking water with them. To meet their need I started this exercise of setting up a water station along the roadside with in my Colony where i am currently residing. That begins the story and then I realised that there are so many people wandering on the road who could be contractors workers or even hawkers for all of them this was a great service and they started thanking me for the activity that I was carrying out initially I started off with the thought that it would be a service for the summer and then I decided to keep it as an ongoing activity so that for all these people who were ...

We are always in the shadow of the parent's and enjoy the luxury of the same and little do we realise the comfort of those shoulders which are always taken for granted. Once the parent tree goes down, realisation dawns on you that you are left all alone with no one even share your thoughts like ur mom or dad. Nobody understands this better than them. Even though you get a lot of comfort from your partner and their parent's, life is never the same again. You just then realise the shadow is no more and have bear the brunt of sun beating down and no place to hide. Alas life has to still go on... With the happy moments you have shared with them.

A very bizarre incident i encountered during the forceful stay at the hospital when my mother was getting treated for some heart pumping related issue. In the wee hours, when my mother got upto use the rest room and then we just talking,  suddenly noticed some fumes in the room.  First assumption was that some of the devices we had put on charge,  after the switching of all of then resulted in no reduction in the smoke in the room. I decided to quickly to open the room and get some fresh air and also found the other rooms bay were also fuming only to realise that there has been fire in the hospital. We were in a state of shock and not able to realise. My wife and mom managed to get down to the ground floor. My mom could barely walk so was in the wheelchair standing outside the hospital premises at about 5 AM in the morning. I managed to stay back in the floor and help other patients in the floor to reach to safety, the place was in high in commotions and emotiond runni...

At the outset,  let me say that the country is evolving under a lot of new method of practice in all spheres which means that there will be a sea of change in many of the areas and a Lots of people shall be in the current of change that they are being engulfed in. With the heated arguments and the emotions running high, we tend loose our bearings in the heat of the moment. At that point it is imperative that we step back a couple of steps to review the change around us. As is often said the clear thinking confess in still water and hence it is in the interest to be calm at this time rather than allowing the tempers to flow which will not yield the right results. Let us take an argument. If we are following right method of practice. Then such things do not affect our practice not out thinking,  the people who react are those who do not trust themselves to be on right path and the fear of the crossing line be in the line of fire. We must also realise more of the private setu...

There is a lot of hue and cry about the current upheaval in the medicos area and they are feeling depressed. The fact that they are being treated is not fair, but at the same time we cannot undermine many medicos allegedly involved in many illegal areas. The sentiment currently is affecting the doctor which is largely the perception and I tend agree that the system which is being imposed is not good method but at the same time, how does the effective medicine reach the people under bpl if the medicos are going to charge exorbitant pricing model without any parlance is a question that remains unanswered for a length of time. We have come across the certain doctors being involved in organ trading and the same doctors have remained silent or turned a blind eye towards such dark areas which has led to disbelief is the medicos in the country. The doctors are quick point out whwn they are singled out,  the fact of the matter is that wrong doing by a doctor needs to be condemned by the ...

We often get into a situation of whether a buy or rent depending on fluidity in hand.  In the other hand it is better to do a retrospection instead of trying to maintain the cash in hand and go for the rental which is a short term gain but huge loss in the long run. Any such cases are largely decided by evaluating the ROI of the asset purchase such is supposed to be c within 18 months as per known management reasoning which advocates the purchase of asset against rental. Management needs to have the vision in this aspect rather than being short sighted or the business owner who need to intervene in such scenario. Many a time we are rather having short sighted approach to the problem resulting the decision making process not following the standard approach which will have recommended the purchase against the rental in the long run yielded in the asset in place against in the rental just an open expense. We need to have clear mind for such decision making process for the right one...

The country decided to have demonetisation as one of the options to remove black money to a certain extent it is quite understandable that the business community is not going to support these kind of actions in any format so it is up to the common man to take adequate precautions to ensure that the action taken is materialized to the extent that the government intended to do. The business community will always be apprehensive towards such actions taken by the government which makes them pay more of taxes and hence will avoid such by tactics demeaning the government in some form or the other. So it is in the hands of the common man to make sure that such matters are carefully understood and also drive the market to adopt to the changes in this regard. If we as a common man fail to understand the motive for which the government has taken such stringent steps, then we will have only ourselves to blame for the failure of such a mechanism. The usage of online payment is one of the best ...

Perur Patteeswaraswamy temple built by Karikala Cholan is located 7 km west of Coimbatore near Noyyal river. Coimbatore has many temples out of which the Perur Patteeshwara Swamy temple is the most popular one. The temple upholds huge statues. The significance of Perur temple in earlier days is unfolded in the poetic creations of Arunagiri Nather and Kachiappa Munivar. Lord Shiva is the presiding deity of this temple who is known as ‘Patteeswarar’ and his consort Parvati is known as ‘Panchanayaki’. The idol in the temple is believed to be ‘Swayambu Lingam’ (self emerged). This temple was built by Karikala Cholan and later many other rulers also added to this temple's brilliant and exemplary architecture as we would like describe in terms of todays construction. Huge Pillars which forms the standards of those days. This temple was even attacked by Aurangazeb and seemed to have left the temple unscathed which is rather very unusual for his kind of nature like in other places. In resp...
