Why cant we do it?

Luxurious team lunches and dinners ,lavish team outings are very common in todays high profile software industry. The management and the members of the team are ready to spend thousands just for salads and desserts .
I accept and know the fact that this is a mentally stressful industry and its people need all these kind of relaxation and fun Yes it does develop team spirit .But the point is that why do we always focus on these to build team relationship and relaxation .

Why cant we change these in a way that it helps the very society where we live in ?

Why cant the java team organize a blood donation camp ?

Why cant the C++ team take a day off and visit a orphanage ?

Why cant a team move out to a slum and apply all those logic and knowledge they have to see how or what they can do improve the lives of the people there ?

Why cant a team think about the child dancing inside the rings for a piece of bun ?

Sadly our society's bug list is very long and it really needs developers and managers to fix them all.
These build team relationships too.


After all its we who should take care.And when we work as a team we can defnitely hit targets.
Make them laugh and see the almighty.
Why cant we do it ?

Happy Independence day

Independence - This very word holds volumes and volumes of history, suferring, sacrifice, revolution and greater will power. Independence is special for any country but for India and me being in Britain when I write this I feel this August 15th very, very special.

Starting from the sipoy revolution sixty yeas down the line we have come a long way and iam sure that we WILL be the super power in the next few years.

My sincere Thanks to the entrepreneurs, investors, industrialists, politicians, engineers, scientists,sportsmen down to working class and common people who drive the country on the path to success.

My special thanks to the GREAT JAWANS stading in sub zero temperatures and scorching heat in the borders not closing their eyes and ready to lay down their life for us to sleep safe and sound.

Let us swear this special day that we will help the nation to win all the physical, political and terror barriers and come out with flying colours like our flag.

LONG LIVE INDEPENDENCE.
DEDECATING THIS INDEPENDENCE TO THE JAWANS.
SALUTING THE FLAG JAIHIND

A word called - Hi

Hi - A meaning less word with thousands of situational meaning. Its the simplest and the most useful word.
The simplest because,it can never be forgotten. And above all you can never write this word with a wrong spelling.
interestingly this word's usage has no age limit it is perfectly advisable for all ages from play school to old age home and who knows ,may be even after that.
Its the most useful, the reason ? It can be told to any one and anywhere and in any situtaion.Particularly if you are meeting someone for the very first time, no other word can ever think of taking the place of this 'Hi'.
There is no reservation of to whom you can say this,you can say this to your watchman and to your boss no offence meant word can be said to a single person or to a group,perfectly meaningful. Steping ahead this greeting need not be restricted to humans have friends greetings their pets 'Hi' which surprisingly is understood by them.
If you meet a good friend after a long time surprisingly you can pull this word like a chewing gum and say a big 'hiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii'(Heart filling).Or if u r so unlucky to meet ur old foe in a big party where you forced to look into his eyes you can say very very small 'hi'.This flexibility in other words can happen only in rare occasions word can also be used between not so close friends, you could have heard people saying "I have only 'hi - hi' relationship".
You can express all your feelings with this word be it happiness,sadness,anger ,even orgasm .
This word is a gift particularly boys/girls looking for partners,this is best and the most used 'Pick up' line.Starting with a 'Hi' the relationship may extend even to marriage.
Thus is the power of 'Hi'
I know that 'Ignorance is bliss' but i thought in the case of 'Hi' knowledge is bliss.
So this post. ;-)

Life is good

This is the thing about entitlement. As soon as you start to feel entitled to something, you can get very angry and very personal about losing that thing. This is not conducive to happiness. Worst of all, even when you get what you want, you can't really enjoy it because you feel entitled to it rather than fortunate to have gotten it.

Try picturing yourself the way God made you -- naked. There is just you. Everything that comes your way will be a delightful bonus. Life is good.

Are u a Bachelor?






I wonder wats wrong with this very word :-( ?

Last week i had the worst experience in my life looking for a house to stay on rent. I started my search confidently powered with various yellow pages in the city.I was so confident that i will get a house after seeing too many offers in the papers.
And i strated to call
"Heloo sir , unga ad sulekha la pathane is ur house still available?"
"Yes yes available,neenga ethana peru thanga porale?"
"nan mattum tha"
"Bachelora?"
"Ammam ..but"

"ilapa bachelorku ellam tharathu ila"

"ila sir,neenga ninaikira mari ..."
Call cut.

Shit .This doesnt happen just in one place , this was what i heard the whole day.(Incidentally tats my bday)
I dont understand what makes them to decide or brand bachelors are unfit for their house. Even if i go in person to their house they will just slam the door on my face as soon as i said iam a bachelor.

F**k
Wern't they bachelors at any point of their life?

Are we senseless villans?
Is eloping with his daughter(any way she will not be worth it) is the only reson for a bachelor to rent his house?
Don't we know what cleanliness is?
I was in an opinion that this happens only to boys but later came to know this applies to girls even. God save the country.

History repeats itself

MTC adding color to life (Re-published)

The MTC bus passengers( steel rods in the concrete pillar)know how frustrating and tiring it is to reach their office in the morning.

There is no meaning in bathing , dressing and above all polishing ur shoes coz wen u get out of the bus u will definitely be ripped off all the efforts u have put to make u look better and even more than jus looks, ur pockets will throw a null pointer exception :-) if u wer not careful.

But for an optimist who tries to see fun in everything this MTC bus is really a 'Varaprasatham'(much awaited stuff).

U will have one great old man way behind generations reviewing today's movies , bad mouthing the low low hip traditions in today's market and a proud young man questioning him back about the meaning of famous 'Elantha palam..Elantha palam' score of the old mans age.

U will definitely have a lawyer (offcourse not by his qualification) appealing to the crowd in the bus 'In mumbai and delhi girls and guys sit together in bus but in chennai these ladies still shout at men for standing behind them' and an old woman replying 'mm then go to delhi'

U can see all the great political analysts,astrophysicist's,law makers, mathematicians(Silara baki sariya vanganumay!!!) and among all of them the most talented 'The MTC bus Driver'.

And above all u will employed in part time as an assitant to conductor.For this fact this is mobile employment exchange.

But the cream of all,the most unforgettable enimies of the driver and conductor'the omnipresent college students'. U can see them all over the bus on the top,near the tyre, in the front , on the side windows but never inside the bus.They electrify the atmosphere their beats , their jokes and in short they can never be equalled .They will definitely bring smile in ur lips .

There was article in DC dated 16 th feb 2006 about the way these guys (Nandhanam Arts College Students) bid their farewell to the bus(45 B, 23 C) which they travelled all through three years to their college.They decorated the bus and distributed sweets to all the passengers that day.
Not stopping with that they be-friended their enimies (all D's & C's of 45b) by buying them shirts and pants.
Really great work guys.
College Student na College Student thanda!! :-)
(Bad that i missed to travel that ' bus day') :-(

Of my tribe and me.


When I intended to write something under this topic ,do you know the first thing I did ?
Googled for
"Duties of a brahmin".
What a shame ? Being a brahmin myself am i not supposed to follow these or atleast know these.
The truth is that ,yes iam supposed to know but i dont.Not stopping with this i definitely say iam not alone.
If i generalize my situation to all the brahmins some may argue with saying thay doesnt fall under this category. Thanks, I heartily appreciate them for the very fact that its only because of them this tribe is still surviving.
But the truth is that 75 % ,why not 90% of the brahmin population are "Brahmins" are just by their birth .
The very first and the basic myth of staying vegetarian itself is in stake. Only very few brahmins follow or atleast know their daily rituals like
Sandiya vandhanam,Gayathri jabam,(i dont even know more than this) If this is the case today then tomorrow , my,yours, ours identity will all be lost.
Am i not mudrering my historical tribe,culture , practice and traditional values myself.
Is this what the modernization has given me? Why are my parents or the society is not stopping me from my dereliction of my duty?
But, why am i blamming the society,does it ask me not to follow?
Then why am i not doing it.?
The only answer the question
Why should i do something when not doing it is not an issue?
Its high time WE WAKE UP.

But willl this ever see the silver screen?

I also heared that kamal is very confident of releasing the movie even if he doesn't finish it to full.Thats the kind of confidence he has in his creative power.I wish he finishes the movie fast.

The Boshongo Myth

So is our Bumbadev i/an any way related to africa ?!!!

"The Boshongo, a Bantu Tribe, believe that in the beginning, Bumba was all alone in the water. Then however, he got sick and vomited the sun, moon, stars, and land. Next he vomited nine animals: the leopard, the eagle, the crocodile, Yo the fish, the tortoise, the lightning (who was later exiled to the sky), the white heron, one beetle, and the goat. The last thing that he vomited was mankind. The animals and Bumba's three suns then created plants and the rest of the animals."

Terror in subway (U/A)

Yesterday

Sayeed , Are u mad r u going to do this?
Yes akthar, i don't have any other way.Already my family is big and with kind of income i earn i cant make ends meet.
But isn’t there any other way?
No,Its an order from BOSS
Ok,its upto you then.Where and When?
Tomorrow 9:30 in the morning , in the subway.Guindy Subway
But it will be crowded to full , rite?
Yes , but that will help me to take cover
Ok,Do u want me to come?
NO

Today

8:30 Am.

It is one of the busiest subway in the city ,buzzing with activity.It sees thousands and thousands of people dialy.It is open to all, rich,poor,literate,illeterate,powerfull,useless ,teacher,pickpocket this list is endless .It goes by this tag line "Whoever or whatever you are,it doesn't matter,if u got to get to the other side u must go through it".

This subway is also special in way that ,it is opened by M.G.Ramachandran(well known as MGR).Iam one of the thousands for whom this subway is a part of day-to-day life.But probably the unique to feel proud thinking "Man now you are crossing the sub way once crossed by MGR"

If this subway is just part of life for some , for some it is the life.It is the main source of their income.You can buy anything from flowers,umbrellas,fruits and electronic gadgets to shirts.No other place drives so much a crowd. It is ,infact a business complex underground from, the time it opens in the morning till it closes late in the night.

And today at 8:30 it was as normal as any other day.

8:55 Am.

The subway is full.Business is in full swing.I think flowers and kerchiefs sell the most here than in any other place in chennai at this point of time.All that you can see is faces some very serious , some very sad, some really happy and some disappointed as they lost the mobile signal amidst the important call.These things are very normal at this time of a day.

9:10 Am.

There in the distance a man with a black shirt and lungi entered the subway.He was well built and six foot tall. He had very horrible scar on his alarmingly threatening face.
The very look at him will make you feel that he is upto no good and will definitely pump your adrenaline. Even he doesn’t seem too comfortable, he was sweating slowly in the corner of his head.He looked horrified pre-occupied with the execution of the order form his BOSS.

He tried to justify his move by thinking of the reason behind .It was just yesterday evening he was talking to his BOSS.

No i will never do this
U have no other way
Why?
What do u mean by why'?Do u know how many children u have,do it if u care for your family
But.....
Go

With a determined face he slowly made a move to-wards one corner of the subway.He was very careful that no one should note his next move.And he tried to look as if he is he is upto nothing.
But actually any one who passed him looked at his threatened face suspiciously.In the mean time he slowly slid his hands into his underwear pockets.

9:25 Am

Though well educated and placed in a software company,iam orthodox,the reason being i never take the left side way into the subway.Well, that cannot be fully accounted to as 'Orthodox',there is also a strong reasoning behind that.

The first time i took the left side in ,i lost my purse in a crowded bus,the next time it was a real bad day in my office.The other time when i really dared to take that way i was bleeding a hell after an accident.So i decided never to take that way hereafter and it did pay me well.
But today, unfortunately iam pushed to the left side in , into the subway by the crowd and my worst fears poped-up alive.

When i got into the subway,i saw things happening to confirm my worst fears.There was commotion and terror all over.Everyone was moving to a place where some thing is happening. I tried get through the crowd to see what is happening.There in the center two cops were taking to a man in red shirt.

Is this he, who is standing here for the past half hour ?Pointing to a man in black shirt with horrified face.

Yes sir ? he is also having something in his pocket.When he is not being noticed he puts his hand in to take something and suddenly when he is crossed by some one he takes his hand out, very suspicious so .., i called you sir

Ho ok we will see to that
.Now the cops turned to the horrified man in black shirt.

Who are u?Whats your name? one of the cops asked him.
Sir,iam Sayeed.Sayeed khan answered the man.
Where are u from? haa?
Sirr..iam from the slum near saidapet
Oho what are doing here from 9.00
Sir..
I know dammit , i know what you upto.Whats that u have in the pocket?said the cop
Sir .. i swear i dint do anything wrong
Whats that u have in your pockets
Nothing sir really..
Ok come to the station
No sir..sir , i will tell..I was trying to take this 5 rs out. He emptied his pockets to show a five rupee coin.
What?the cops said.
Yes sir i was trying to take this 5 rs
So is that all?
Yes sir
But why are you standing here for the past half an hour
Sir..Actually i was shy and i don't want to do that in the crowd
I don't understand said the cop
Sir..I actually wanted to get a Condom from the vending machine and i was afraid that people will laugh at me said the man pointing his fingers to the newly installed condom vending machine in the corner.
Ha ha ha is that all
Yes sir, said the man gleefully with his black face red in shyness.

The crowd was cheered up and the terror in the subway started to subdue and for me my worst fear got postponed.

9:30 Am

void Creativity ()

When i dont get anything to write or when my creativity goes on a strike , i dont cry not knowing what to blog :-) forwards are handy.
Yes for a guy like me who wants to blog daily these forwards help a lot.One such mail forward blogged.

The Silence.

Have you ever experienced a moment in your life when you just ran out of words and you go...
s i l e n t ???

Let me assist you in recalling.....

The moment when you left your home for the first time and you look back at your parents who are worried that their son/daughter are leaving them yet happy that their child took the first step towards independence....

The moment when the girl/boy you like most.. smiled back at you ! You don't say anything.. you just smile back.....

The moment when you get better marks than you expected... those "numb" moments of ecstasy n surprise "is that true?"...

The moment when you are parting with your old friend(s) and the train has just started...
and you are standing on the door of the wagon.. waving "bye-bye" with your heart beating fast......

The moment after the HR manager has just called you and told you,"You are through! Congrats !"...

The moment when you sit alone in your room after having told everyone that you cleared that exam you prepared for 6 months !!

You can go on remembering your "special" moments !

I had always wondered why I never said anything to myself at those moments.. as if it was "understood"... happiness, joy, pain.. all feelings just flowed ceaselessly in the 'years' that passed in those flash moments !

They say.. the best way to communicate is through "silence". Love. Joy. Grief. Surprise. Anger. Hope. Expectations. Support. Non-cooperation...

Can you imagine the importance of a silent moment in a song ?? When Bryan Adams stops for a while along with music, before he goes on in his husky voice......

Please forgive me. I can't stop loving you !

Ever had those moments when you thought you were tired enough that you reach for your bed after dinner.. but find yourself wide awake looking at the roof of your room silently...

But you sure are 'thinking'... those moments of self-talk are the most important in our lives.
Those moments when we listen to our own hearts ! Those promises... those decisions... those are the moments when we make our destinies !

Next time you go silent... listen carefully to what your heart is saying..

listen to its joy...

listen to its pain..

listen to its fears..

listen to its desires..

and

Be in touch with your true self...

Bye

Typewriter- The forgotten classic

The first 'Hello World' of my life started in my '5th' standard with that black machine in my fathers office which will always be operated by a sweet lady.I have always wondered her speed and accuracy working on that. The elegance with which she feeds the paper and pulls the feeder back to the position once a line is finished can never be seen today .




(Wikipedia)

Typewriters are really fascinating to watch at , the movements of the ribbon
and type bars up and down are really enjoyable as if they are dancing to a rhythm. Everyone one from a middle class family would have been to a typewriting class at some point of their life.The type writing classes were the places of fun which will tell you thousands and thousands of love stories.We even had movies on those love stories.

It was a source of confidence in those days.The one with a typewriting lower/higher qualification is a sure shot winner in interviews.

But these elegent machines are just history now.we cant see them anywhere. We dont even think about it. We don't feel the vacuum their absence have created.

We can no more here their 'tic' 'tic' 'tac' 'trrrr'.Yes modernization ,do snatch good things from us.
I really miss it.

Captain is the next 007 [:-)]

HINDU'S HOLY BOOKS ACCEPT HOLY PROPHET MOHAMMAD'S (PBUH) EXISTENCE

Pundit Vedaprakash Upadhyay, a Hindu professor, in his stunning book claims that the description of the" Avatar" found in the Holy books of the Hindu religion, matches the Holy Prophet Mohammed (PUBH). Recently in India, a fact-revealing book has been published. The Book has been the topic of discussion and gossip all over the country.The author of this book, Pundit Vedaprakash Upadhyay, is a learned and famous Hindu professor. The book is Kalki Avatar. Pundit Vedaprakash Upadhyay is a Hindu Brahmin of Bengali origin. He is a research scholar at AllahabadUniversity. After years of research, he published this book, and no less than eight pundits have endorsed and certified his points of argument as authentic. According to Hindu belief, the Hindu world awaits "the guide and leader", named Kalki Avatar. However, the description as given in the holy scriptures of the Hindu points only to the Prophet Mohammed (PBUH) of Arabia.Therefore, the Hindus of the whole world should not wait any longer for the arrival of Kalki Avatar (the spirit) and should readily accept Prophet Mohammed (PBUH) as Kalki Avatar. These are the FACTS verified and supported by eight other eminent pundits. What the author says is that Hindus, who are still anxiously awaiting the arrival of Kalki Avatar, are simply subjecting themselves to never ending pain. Because, such a great messenger has already arrived and departed from this world fourteen centuries ago.


The author produces the following sound evidences from the Vedas and other holy books of the Hindu religion in support of his claim:


1. In the Puranas (Hindu scriptures), it is stated that Kalki Avatar would be the last messenger of God in this world. He would be for guidance of the whole world and all human beings.


2. According to a Hindu religion prediction the birth of Kalki Avatar would take place in an isle, which again according to Hindu religion is Arab Region.


3. In books of Hindus, the names of the father and the mother of Kalki Avatar are given as VISHNUBHAGAT and SUMAANI respectively. If we examine the meaning of these names we shall come to some very interesting conclusion. VISHNU (meaning God) + BHAGAT (meaning Slave). Slave of God = ABDULLAH (in Arabic) is the name of Prophet's (PBUH) Father.

SUMAANI (meaning peace or calmness).Aamenah (in Arabic means peace) is the name of Prophet's (PBUH) Mother.


4. In the religious books of Hindus, it is mentioned that the staple food of Kalki Avatar would be dates and olives and he would be the most honest and truthful person in the region. Without any doubt the Prophet Mohammed (PBUH) is acclaimed to possess these qualities.


5. It is stated in Vedas (holy book of Hindu Religion) that the birth of Kalki Avatar would take place in an honorable clan. This perfectly fits the Quraysh where Prophet Mohammed (PBUH) belonged to.


6. God would teach Kalki Avatar through His messenger (angel) in a cave. Allah taught Prophet Mohammed (PBUH) through His messenger Jibraeel (Gabriel), in a cave known as Ghaar-e-Hira.


7. God would provide Kalki Avatar with a very speedy horse to ride and travel the whole world and the seven skies. Indication of burraq (Horse) and Me'raaj (the night when Prophet [PBUH] travelled the seven skies).


8. God would provide Kalki Avatar with divine help. This was particularly proved in the Battle of Uhud.


9. Another dazzling account given about Kalki Avatar was that he would be born on the 12th of a month. Whereas the Prophet Mohammed (PBUH) was born on the 12th of Rabbi ul Awwal (Hijra Calendar).


10. Kalki Avatar would be an excellent horse rider and a swordsman.

The author here draws the attention of Hindus that the real days of horses and swords have gone and the present time of guns and missiles. So it would be foolish on the part of those who still expect Kalki Avatar, who should be an excellent rider and swordsman to come. In fact, the divine book, the Holy Qur'an, contains qualities and signs attributed to Kalki Avatar reflecting on the Prophet Mohammed (PBUH).

He Deserves to be remembered

Yes, Its hard to believe that we forget him , the man behind rebuilding the lives of many people shattered by the disastrous Tsunami, he is none other than the hero of bollywood & cuddalore Vivek Oberai.
His love and magnanimity for the affected people had no bounds but those were not reciprocated properly by the people in tamil nadu or atleast by the people in cuddalore.

This government and people dint even have a thought of inviting him and thanking him for all the things he have done to bring hope back into the life of the affected.We didnt even care to invite him to show him how his contribution have changed the lifes of people after a year of the tsunami.

Its bad that we forget him.
