Diwali Celebration...2011

2011-10-29T20:01:00.000-07:00

It was a special Diwali for me, after my engagement it was the first festival celebration. Though, I was expecting to have joyous celebration it didn’t happen to be the one. Because of client visit on my project, I didn’t get leave for this diwali so till 6 o clock have spent in office itself. After 6 o clock started back to home and joined with my friends for diwali celebration. Initially, eswar brought some crackers we fired for some time. Later, we bought rockets then, as usual went to raman terrace where we fired all the rockets and flower pots. After spending a few hours in raman house we came out. Meantime, eswar was asking to go for walk around to see the glimpse of diwali celebration on next streets. As we walked on Next Street we saw M.K. Stalin celebrating diwali with his family firing some fancy crackers. He was very simple wearing “lungi” and watching the proceedings. After him, when we crossed next road we saw “Gowndamani” entering in his house. Suddenly, sasi called him and wished him for diwali. After him, we all wished him for diwali. Then, we all started back to home by saying Good bye to Diwali hoping next diwali will be much more special than this :-)

Munnar Trip (06-10-2011 to 10-10-2011)

2011-10-27T20:58:00.000-07:00

We planned to go for Munnar trip almost a year back, for this we joined in chit fund to accumulate some reasonable amount. Before 2 months of the trip, shiva has booked the train ticket for departure on 8-10-2011 and return ticket on 11-10-2011. Though initially, Dharani told will not join for the trip as usual when we all started to plan the trip he too wanted to join with us.

On 06-10-2011

finally, as planned, on 06-10-2011 Thursday evening around @ 6 o clock I, Senthil, Sasi and Rajesh came early and sit on the call taxi. Meanwhile, eswar came and told he will get tiffin for us and told us he will come with others. Meantime, Dharani as usual not present on time along with shiva too. After waiting few min we started to central station. After we reached and searching for the platform eswar came angrily asked Sasi why you all came early together. After sasi replied he got pissed off and took his luggage and said he didn’t want to come for the trip and started to go back to home.

After seeing this I and raman went to him and asked for the reason. He told when he was waiting for Dharani and asked him why late he replied why you people are waiting for me. Which made him angry and they both had a quarrel. Because of this, eswar doesn’t want to come since he is also joining in the trip. I and raman tried to convince him like anything in the public but he wasn’t convinced. Later, along with us Senthil and Sasi also joined and requested him to come with us. After that, half heartedly he boarded the train with us. Meantime, we all questioned dharani about the incident who was not at all bothered about anything and was cool us cucumber.

After we all boarded the train, I, eswar, shiva and raman all have sit together in one compartment and Senthil,sasi,dharani,rajesh and Shankar have sat together on another dept. On travel, we were chatting together and took some snaps there particularly eswar was still thinking about the incident and not fully involved on the journey. Around at 8 o clock, we started to have our dinner which we ordered from Saravanan and started to go sleep.

Next Day 7-10-2011

Around at 5 o clock we got up and prepared our luggage and reached the Alluva station around at 6 o clock. After we refreshedon railway station and came out with the feeling of entering into kerala first time in our lives. It was totally different feeling when we compare kerala with Chennai. The buses, auto rikshas and shops all were different from Chennai. After had a tea on shop we started walking towards bus stop. After waiting for few min, we got the bus to Munnar. Since it was a 3 and half hour trip to Munnar via mountains we didn’t wanted to waste a time and started to board the bus in spite of there was no seat available for us. After most of them have slept I and sasi were watching the route. Since it was first time travelling in mountain for that much distance we really scared of curve roads. After reaching, few minute later one of the guide known to sasi and rejesh came and took us to the place where we are going to stay.Also, he arranged one driver to show us the places near to Munnar. We all taken the bath in the hotel and I took some snaps with senthil, sasi, dharani, rajesh , shiva and Shankar. After few hrs a driver named sanoj came and 1st he took us to Rajamalai national park. There I took some snaps with eawar ,raman and shiva. There, after spending few hours climate was totally changed and we felt the mist crossing us.From there we went to Devikulam waterfalls. Since the climate was already cool when we place our foot on the water it felt like putting on the ice cube. But all were reluctant to take bath in that because of coolness. But after I jumped into the water and started to enjoy and scream Sasi,Senthil,rajesh, Shankar,dharani and shiva all joined with me and started to enjoy. It was the best ever enjoyment we had in the water falls. After that we took some snaps and had snacks in the nearby tea stall. It was the best joyous experience we had in Munnar. After this, we started back to room while coming bought the dinner from fast food and reached room around 8 o clock. There,I eswar, raman and shiva all shared one room and others were shared another room. Meantime, there was a champion’s league cricket match played between RCB and NSW so we watched that match in which gayle played superb innings and secured victory for banglore and after the match we started to sleep.

Next Day 8-09-2011

I and Senthil have got up early and ready with new costumes then slowly everyone got ready. Around at 9:30 the driver came and we started. Before we reached the jeep sasi and rajesh took the front seat with driver. I was sitting back to driver seat with dharani,shiva and eswar. senthil, raman Shankar were sitting on the back of the jeep. From there we went to Mettupetty Dam and took some snaps there

From there we went to Echo Point where I shouted Senthil name which echoed back. There we had a tea from different flavors then we went to Mattupetty Pedal Boating. After the water falls this is the place we enjoyed so much. There, I and Senthil rented the double seated pedal boat for 30 min after reaching some distance we took some snaps between our friends.

From there, we went to place called Top station it is a wonderful place to get the glimpse of kerala and tamilnadu border. After paying entry fee Rs 15 you need trek around 1 km distance to reach the top station. There we enjoyed seeing everything from the top of the mountain and took some snaps with Eswar. After seeing this, we returned back to room on the way we shopped for house hold items for my home and bought the dinner from the road side shop. It was around 2 hrs of travel we felt cold and mist was covering all the places barely driver can’t see other vehicle. Finally, when we reached the home we started to watch the CPL match Mumbai Indian vs Somerset where Mumbai Indians won after the match we started to sleep.

Next day 09-09-2011,

Since few of them wanted to go back to office on Monday we decided to return home on Sunday itself. So, we decided to spend only half a day and return back to home. As per this, when driver came we told our plan and asked him to show the place where we can come back to bus stop early. As per that, he took us to Tata Tea Estate where we paid entry fee Rs 75/- tasted complimentary tea which was best ever tea we tasted. There we have been demonstrated how the tea prepared from plantation and its different verities. Then we I and eswar purchased some tea bags for our home. After, we saw a documentary film about the Munnar and how it has become tourist place. From There, we went to Tea Museum where we took some snaps. In those, one of the highlighted snap was making Dharani stand under buffalo horn which was suited him as like it is actually grown from his head.

After this, we started back to bus stand to get the bus for “Theni” meanwhile the driver helped us to get the jeep to drop us on Madurai. We boarded the jeep around at 3 o clock and started to travel Madurai via “Theni”. On the way to theni we came across many hair pin bends. The driver told it was around 18 plus hair pin bends from Munnar to theni. After we reached theni couldn’t control myself and got motion sick. Then, on the way to Madurai we had tea around “andipatti” district. Then, we reached Madurai around at 9 PM. Since there was a not private bus avilable we took the government bus though it was uncomfortable 8 hrs travel at least we reached home by 7 o clock on Monday 10-10-2011.

It was one of the best trips we made after tirunelveli. On Tirunelveli, sasi, eswar and raman were not part of the whole trip. But in this everyone were there till the end. Though, eswar initially didn’t want to come because the quarrel with dharani later he realized that if he had not come would have missed all the enjoyments. Overall we enjoyed this trip like anything especially the sceneries which we saw in Munnar one of the best ever seen in our life. Hope our next trip will more exiting than this :-)

The Match We all Enjoyed So Much...

2011-08-07T21:05:00.000-07:00

After started playing cricket, recently we have won the first 3 match serious against Manohar team and beaten them 2-1 after that, Senthil fixed the match with another team for 3 match’s series. Whoever with the series will receive sum of Rs 300/- as a bet. So, before we started the series played a normal match against that opponent. In that match in spite of scoring 80 odd runs we failed to win the match because of poor fielding. Subsequent to that we played 1st match of the serious and lost the match by huge margin because of poor bowling, batting and fielding. Before starting the 2nd match of the serious Senthil was asking me to do the captain ship. Though, I was not interested first, later wanted to take that as a challenge. Because, last time when I was doing a captainship under Sekar; successfully we had won 9 matches continuously. But, when I was about to captain for 10th match suddenly without any prior information the captainship was handed over to Senthil. Though, I wasn’t cared about removing captainship was really embarrassed for the fact that being friends either Sekar or Senthil didn’t have courtesy to inform me and didn’t have any open talk. It was unforgettable.

After that now, Senthil has given another chance to do the captainship for me and successfully we won that match. It was a one of the greatest match we ever played because it was sheer team effort. Everyone in the team has contributed their part to win that match. Starting with Suresh and Sundar both opend the innings and played freely. Especially sundar has given the great start and played well. After him, Rajesh, Appu Senthil and I got out cheaply. Then, Shiva, vinoth and Sasi have established the innings with reasonable scores of 65 runs.

Last two times, we lost the match because of letting openers of the opponent team to score freely and didn’t take their wicket. So, this time we had a plan to restrict them by not giving free runs. For that we deployed 4 fielders in the close circle and 3 fielders on the boundary of offside. As per our plan, Dharani and Rajesh bowled with proper line and length; completion of their over’s they have given only 19 runs for 7 over’s and taken 3 wickets. It was greatest bowling by Dharani and Rajesh. Especially, Rajesh who doesn’t bowl frequently bowled very well on that day. After that, Shiva who came after long time to play with us bowled with great control and restricted the score by taking wickets. Also, Vinoth played his part to take the important wickets of the opponent. Moreover, Senthil kept well and didn’t give any extra runs for the opponent. Add to that, Suresh, sasi Sundar and other team members all fielded well and taken all the catches. Especially, Suresh has taken 3 important catches and sundar has taken one difficult catch. Overall, It was a perfect team effort each and every member of the team played with sprit and given 100% to win that match. Still, we have one more match pending to win the serious. We hope we will give out best efforts to win that match. Thought of writing this article after winning the serious, but the reason why I am writing now is, even if we miss that chance to win the serious at least this match will be remembered forever for our friends and team members stand out efforts.

After long time...

2011-08-07T21:01:00.000-07:00

It has been a long time since I wrote a blog. After came out of Mphasis decided to wait few more days until I am getting comfortable and relaxed. There are people still waiting to get the credit for their hard work but when I got the credit I have resigned. Moreover I always content with what I have but there are circumstances which made me to take that decision to resign from Mphasis. It was one of my imperative decisions in my official career.

After I have resigned from Mphasis until join with HCL there were so many speculations and advice from each and every one which made me to confuse like anything. Normally, when I take decisions I always go with what I think never allow anyone to influence me. There are instance like when my parents were forcing me to study for 12^th STD and college I was stubborn and opted for ITI likewise there were so many instances. Because I always believe, GOD is with me if I am in trouble he will show me the way.
But when I have resigned from Mphasis I was not 100% sure if I am taking the right decision. But, after came out of Mphasis there are many enjoyable moments happened which I would like to share here.

Temple Visit
**********
Me and my mother both have went for Nagoor and Tirumanancheri sundareshwara perumal temple before joining with HCL to fulfill our wishes.

Joining with HCL
*************

My first day with HCL was very interactive. Normally, I will keep quiet and doesn’t speak a word in any meeting. But on the joining day of HCL I was keep on interacting with each and everyone and completed the formalities. Next day, there was a induction program again it was very interactive. After that I have been asked to meet one of the project managers for getting assigned with project. Since the technology different from my original domain I had to deny that project and had to talk with project manager. This made them to put me in the bench for a month.

World Cup 2011
************

Normally, when would cup starts I glued with watching every match and never misses any game. But this year world cup I was not at all interested due to the fact I might not get the chance to watch the match once I joined with new company. But luckily, I did not get assigned with any project which gave me the chance to watch the matches. The first match which I interestingly watched was IND vs AUS
it was one of the best matches have seen recently where India given their best performance under pressure. The second match was against IND vs PAK which was another cracking match which I watched in Eswars house along with Eswar, Senthil, Dharani, Sasi and Raman. Finally the final again we watched in eswars house. When srilanka scored 280 odd runs we didn’t think india have any chance to win this especially they lost their strong openers sachin and sehwag in quick succession. But finally, Gamphir, Dhone and Yuvaraj have played one of their best ininings to secure the world cup victory for india. Till india won that match we all were superstitious about our place even we didn’t allow Dharani to go out and didn’t move from our place. Finally when india won we all shouted like anything and enjoyed so much.

I have started watching cricket on 1996 World Cup from that time to till now I have been watching india to get the world cup so many occasions I had sleepless night because of india loss. Finally after 15 years of watching the cricket india delivered their best performance by beating top teams like Aus, Pak ans Srilanka to get the world cup. It was one of the happiest moments in my life like millions of people in india.

Meeting our Old Friends
*******************
After almost 5 yrs Revathi and Saraswathi have came together for my home for inviting me and senthil for (Revathi) her 2^nd child’s birthday and Saraswathii for her marriage. We didn’t expect them to meet after a while but still they remembered both of us and invited. As planned, I and Senthil have attended her son’s birthday. Unfortunately, Senthil couldn’t come for saraswathi’s marriage. So, I had to go with our millennium friends for attending her marriage on Puttlur temple which is in Tiruvallur. I went to central railway station and met our old friends from there we all boarded the train to Tiruvallur. It was around 1hr 30min travel. Meantime, we all remembered our old days and they were sharing about their marriage life. After reaching the station, from there we went to putlur amman temple and wished saras for her marriage life. Then, I had my prayer to fulfill my wishes and started back. While coming back, I shared my experience; they were really happy about my progress and gave their suggestions about marriage life. After a long time it was really memorable moment to meet our friends and remembering our old days and sharing our experience.

Started Cricket Team Again
**********************

Almost after one year, again we have started our cricket team. Last time, when we have started our cricket team we continuously played for 3 years. Because of misunderstanding, we had to stop playing cricket. Last time, sekar was leading the team. Though, he had some good qualities didn’t react well with team members on few occasions because of that we lost the interest on playing cricket and had to stop playing cricket for a while. This time, Senthil, Dharan and I have taken the initiative to form the team and successfully we are able to play with available members without the help of Sekar to set the 11’s. Currently, Senthil is leading the team hopefully he makes each and every member to play with passion and let them enjoy every moment’s of cricket and win more games.

Assigned with Project
*****************

After a month, I have assigned with project called Lafarge in HCL. It is a UK based project and I am the only person for SCCM technology. First few weeks, I did not interact with anyone on my project. But After few days started to interact with people like Ramesh, Arul, Yuvaraj, Senthil, Keerthi and Eswar . Initially, when we didn’t have any work because of migration activities we all use to play cricket on every day. One of the match we played against another cricket team in that have opened the innings and scored around 30 plus runs in 4 over’s. In that have hit two 6’s and four 4’s; though I have been playing cricket for a while never played such kind of innings to score the runs that much faster. End of the match the opponent came and appreciated me for my batting and told you are the Man of the Match. I really enjoyed it later, when the phase 1 implementation completed the ticket started to flowing for all the team. Meantime, I had worked with WSUS implementation which involves plan, design and implementation phases. But unfortunately before rollout WSUS into the production the client has decided to drop the implementation plan for WSUS since they have decided SCCM is the only solution for patch management.

Mphasis Experience (About Me)

2011-03-12T22:52:00.000-08:00

Finally, my 3 ½ years stint with Mphasis has come to an end. I always felt missed my college life. But GOD is kind enough to give me that chance in the form working with Mphasis. If I look back, in my 15yrs of work experience I came across different work profiles, companies, people and culture. When I compare the culture what I have seen from my first company to till now there is drastic changes in everything. Before I joined with Mphasis which ever companies have worked, I was one of the best in that company.But after I have joined here I felt like am in different world which never experienced before.

Here, main goal was to complete my M.B.A and improve my communication. Being Dynamic person always believe in my hard work. So, I never concentrated much on learning new technologies because i believe wherever I go can learn fast.

Here, I saw the people with great talent which made me to realize still there is long way to become a best. So I had to be patience, observe and analyze in each and everything.

There are occasions made me Tempestuous but I had to accept the challenges, defeat and failures. But ultimately, it has given the experience. There are people who made me Audacious but, I never let any chance which gave me a new lessons. Being a self-centered guy, each and every moment I had spent with everyone was to improve my self and learn the good qualities of them. But I was open and honest with everyone. I never accepted in my life anyone is better than me but here I had to accept a few people and learned how to accept the people as they are. Being close with every one made me to influence by others ideas and think different.

At the end, I am glad for achieving most of the things which can be a foundation for my next level of career.

Note: My previous post has written about qualities of others whomever I was associated with Mphasis. This is the post which describe about myself (bold letters) and learning have got with Mphasis.

My life with people of Mphasis

2011-03-06T22:13:00.000-08:00

This is the place that I have worked with so many wonderful people. I just want to have a personal thought about each and every one whom I closely associated with Mphasis . While writing this I could not concentrate on Grammar. So, please bear with my English.

These are the people whom I had interactions. I might have missed to write about some people but when it comes to my mind I will write about them.

Flash Back of 2010

2011-01-16T09:11:00.000-08:00

When I look back 2010 it was a wonderful and unforgettable year for me. I always believe nothing happens for the reason so you have to be patience and go through the hurdles what ever you are facing, if you have the confident and be true to your self god will favour your side. There have been situations which I could have done better but overall it has given me a very good experience.

-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+

+The Important Moments of 2010 +

-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+

Completing M.B.A

***************

Completing M.B.A was my goal when I joined in EDS which I achieved in this year by passing all 15 papers in a hectic situation.

First puppy in our home

********************

Blacky gave birth to 6 puppies in my home. After giving 5 puppies to my friends we took 1^st puppy and named as “Jackey”. Now he has become one of the important members in our family.

Visiting new Places

****************

First time, I went to Thanjavore with my family to visit “periya kovil”. Then,

Long awaited Sasi’s sister marriage happened this year. For attending her marriage first time, I, brothers and friends went to “Thirunelveli” also visited place like Kanyakumari, Tiruchendur. It was the first time me and brothers were stayed away from my home.

Payback for Jayaraman

Promoted as a "Team Leader" (27-12-2010)

2010-12-27T01:58:00.000-08:00

After completing almost 3 ½ years in MphasiS, I have been promoted as a “Team Leader” and my level has been changed from 4 to 5. I knew, will get a promotion but didn’t expect that will get “Team Leader” position. It was unexpected , all of the sudden all the things are happening for me. Recently, I have been given salary hike and now I have got the promotion with hike. Though, the credit is not been given when I was expecting at least it came in the right time. I feel, It is a good sign. Because, in my last company as soon as I got the promotion have got better offer and had to resign from that company. So, I am hoping for the best and hope GOD is always with me. I would like to thank for those who recognized me for this promotion.

Manmadhan Ambu Movie Review (24-12-2010)

2010-12-26T03:59:00.000-08:00

This week Friday Night, we all went for “Manmadhan Ambu” Movie Show on Abirami theatre. I like Kamal Movies but Madhavan is my favorite actor so I never missed any of his movies. Last time when he acted with Kamal on “Anbe Shivam” it was excellent. Also, starting from “Alaipayutheay” to till now there are some beautiful memories associated with his movies. So, decided to watch this movie as early as possible. Surprisingly Madhavan character has my name in this movie which made my friends and brothers to have fun of me :). It is a different kind of move. I like it except the climax. But others didn’t like this movie at all.

Gist of the movie
***************

The movie is all about how a jealous fiancé (Madhavan) trying to know about his girl friend (Trisha) with detective (Kamal ) and how Kamal uses this assignment to save his friend’s life.

Eesan Movie Review - Simply Superb..(18-12-2010)

2010-12-18T22:37:00.000-08:00

As planned yesterday, watched the new movie "Esan" with my friends on Express Avenue (Senthil, Sasi, Shankar, Dharani, and Rajesh). This is the first time we have been into Express Avenue to watch the movie. This Mall is renowned as South India's second largest mall. As compare to other malls in Chennai it has world class shopping cum entertainment facility. We reached their around at 10:00 PM. There was automatic ticketing facility for parking experienced first time in Chennai.

Once we entered, the mall has given rich experience. We felt like being in different place. Inside the mall there was a big Christmas tree kept for Christmas celebration. From 3^rd floor Me,Sasi Dharani and Shankar have took some photos with sasi mobile.

The movie was around 3hrs, after watching the movie we came back to parking around at 2:30 am next day. We all felt good watching the movie in 1^st class theater.

But when we came out of the mall, for parking they were charged 40 rupees / bike which is nearly half of the cost of movie ticket. We feel it is too much. Otherwise it was great fun with my friends after long time.

The Gist of the Movie

***********************

A family comes from village to city and spoiled by modern culture . It visualizes current trend of our generation, individual characters, politicians and business man. The role which I loved most in the movie is police character role performed by Samudhra Kani. From start to end of the movie director Sasi Kumar had made everyone edge of their seats. It is a best suspense thriller ever watched till now. The screen play was superb no one can predict any of the scenes till last moment. It was a masterpiece from Sasi Kumar, Hats off to him. He has become one of my favorite Directors.

Sani Prathosham - (18-12-2010)

2010-12-18T20:23:00.000-08:00

Yesterday morning sasi called me and asked me to come for Shiva temple in the evening which is in Besant Nagar near to his police station. After I asked him about what is the special he told it is “Sani Prathosham” which is very auspious day in Shiva temple. Since he is wearing “iyappan malai” wanted me to join. Also told, if we pray today our wish will come true. So we went there and saw special abishekam performed for nandhi and lord shiva with all the people chanting manthra’s. After that, went with him for pattinampakkam Iyappan Temple and first time I had Iyappan Dharshan. and, had stomach full of prasadham’s given by the devotees. Meantime, other friends who wearing Iyappan Malai (senthil,rajesh and Dharani) joined with us and had the prasadhams. Then we all went to Anjaneyar Temple and started back home to prepare for Saturday Night Movie Show “ESAN”.

About Sani Prathosham
**********************

Since this is the first time I heard about Sani Prathosham, Just curious to know about it so googled and and found the article in the following link

http://www.eprarthana.com/offers/sanipradosham/sani_pradosham.asp

Once Indra lost his kingdom and found that only if he consumed the Divine Nectar he could rule. So there was a tug of war between the devas and asuras to obtain this nectar. The Devas and Asuras got together to churn the ocean, using Mandramalai & Vaasuki, the snake. As they continued to churn the ocean, Vaasuki the snake began to tire and started spewing its poison. Siva came and consumed all the poison. Thus Siva became blue up to his throat and is also known by the name "Neelakandan" ( neela-blue colour, kandam-throat).

Goddess Parvati rushed and held his neck so that the poison would not spread to the whole of his body. Shiva then became drowsy and selected a village called Surutapalli (near Chennai), where he is seen sleeping on the lap of Parvathi. This is the only temple that houses Lord Shiva in a sleeping position.

Narada, meanwhile, passed on the message and down came the Devas, Brahma, Vishnu and the Saptarishis, to have darshan. They were promptly stopped by Nandi who asked them all to come after some time, as Shiva was resting. All of them waited. Shiva, when he woke up, was filled with extreme happiness and danced ("Ananda Thandavam"). This day, when the Devas, Brahma, Vishnu, Narada and Saptarishis had Shiva darshan was a Krishnapaksha Trayodasi (Stiravaram, Saturday). This is the Mahapradosham day. Pradhosham, generally, is a significant occasion observed with great piety at all Shiva temples.

It is believed that all the Devas & Gods are assembled in the Shiva temples during Pradosham time. Further, the first pradosham was on a Saturday & hence "Sani Pradosham" is even more auspicious.

The day to be remembered 04/12/2010

1st Anniversary for Our New House - 29-11-2010

2010-12-18T20:18:00.000-08:00

It was our first anniversary for our New House. Actually, I had forgotten this important day but when I was on office SASI called me and congratulated me. When I asked for what, then he reminded me that it was our 1^st anniversary for our new house . For this, I thanked him for reminder and called my mom to inform this she replied, morning itself Appu told about this. Then she reminded me that it was his birthday as per Tamil calendar so he remembered the date. I was totally shamed that to forget both important date which suppose to be remembered. It is one of my bad habits tend to forget the important dates in my life. Though am having more friends who is very close to me we never wishes each other. But at times SASI is exceptional once he remembers the date he never misses to wish them. Moreover, still I use to get a call from our old friends on my birthday but I never wished them back on their birthdays. May be from this moment I should change myself and try to find the important dates in my life and keep reminders for them. Let's see how long i can do this... :)

Tiruvannamalai Trip (21-11-2010)

2010-12-18T20:11:00.000-08:00

It was on the day before karthigai deepam. Appu and Shanmugam were discussing to go for Thiruvannamalai. Meanwhile, Appu was asking me weather I am interested to join with them. Usually, appu use to go with his friends so I don’t join them often moreover I had heavy Cold so my mother doesn’t want to go with them. But it was a special occasion so have decided to join with them, and planned to start at evening 7:30. Meanwhile have gone to Anjaneyar temple and come back to home and rain started heavily. By seeing my mother doesn’t want us to go, though it was raining for past two days we had a feeling it doesn’t continue for long so decided against her. Meanwhile, babu anna also joined with us, and around at 9:00 PM we all started to walk to our bus stand and got the bus at around 10:30 PM and reached Koyambedu at around 11:30pm. After seeing the queue for getting the bus ticket we thought it would take another 2 or 3 hrs to get the ticket. But as usual appu had a different plan he took us directly to the bus which goes by Thiruvannamalai and boarded us which saved us lot of time by avoiding the queue.

It was around at 4:30 morning on Kaarthigai Deepam day we reached Thiruvannamalai. As expected, by the time we reached the rain stopped completely and after the Gopura Tharisanam we all started to walk for “Giri Valam”. On the way we had a glimpse of all the lingam and had our prayers for the lingam which belongs to our Raasi. Around at 11:00 AM we finished the “Girivalam” and had our special prayers via “Gopura Tharisanam”. Around at 11:45 AM we started back to home and reached by 5:00 clock. Meantime, my mother had decorated our new house with “lights” which made our new house to look more beautiful in our street:) Since my camera got repaired I miss to capture those beautiful moments :( Also, in our street temple they have fired the karthigai deepam with palm leaves we all saw that and had our prayers. It was very auspicious day for me and my family.

Tirupathi Trip (12-11-2010)

2010-12-09T10:42:00.000-08:00

After long time, I had the chance to go to Tirupathi with my friends. Every year when my friends go for Tirupathi, they use to call me but till last year was not able to join with them because of my personal reason. But this year have decided to join with them along with my brothers. Initially , Senthil, Eswar, Sasi, Shiva Dharani, Raman, Appu, Vinoth and Myself all were planned to go for Thirupathi but finally Eswar, Dharani and Sekar didn’t come due to personal reason. While going from my house we took the auto to reach the central railway station and around at 4:30 PM we departed from the central. We had a very good fun in the train till we reached Tirupathi. We reached their at around 8:30 PM. Then we all started to walk towards Tirumala. In the middle we took rest and finished our dinner and reached at 2:30 AM. While walking with my friends there was a family having 2 Children saying they last their money so requested to give some money for feeding their children. After we have given some money again we saw one more family was asking like that. We all felt like we have been cheated but still me, senthil and sasi felt if it would have been true we had the satisfaction of feeding those Childs. Then, After reaching their kept the luggage’s in the room which we already booked. After seeing the room, my friends didn’t like to stay there so they decided to sleep somewhere outside. But me and raman decided to stay on the room itself to take care of the luggage’s. Meantime, we all wanted to have something to eat so decided to go outside and had veg fried rice. Then, me and Raman came to room for sleep and left my friends in the ouside.

Next day morning was Saturday; my friends came to room and prepared them selves for temple. Since I brought jeans to wear for temple came to know it was not allowed in the temple. With no option decided to buy the Dhothi. Fortunately, opposite to room itself we got the Dhothi. First time in my life i went temple with wearing Dhothi that too in Thirupathi. After we reached for Dharshan queue it took around only 45 minutes to finish the Dharshan. We never heard or expeted to get the dharshan in very less time but it was very good Dharshan. After that we all bought Laddu and came to room and returned to Tirubathi bustand with Zeep by paying Rs 40 each. Their we had unlimited food in one of the Andhara Mess Hotel. The taste was very good and we all liked it and remembered the hotel for next visit. Then, we boared the bus and reached koyambedu around at 8:30 PM and took the auto to reach our home. We never heard some one have seen the Dharshan in only 45 minutes but it has happened to us. It was very good and very quick Dharshan. When I compare with my old trip for thirupathi it was totally changed now it is all about Money If you are not careful you will be cheated easily.

Diwali Celebration 5-11-2010

2010-12-09T09:47:00.001-08:00

It was our first Diwali celebrated in our new house. I always use to celebrate Diwali with my friends but this year special for me so wanted to celebrate with my family. So, me and brothers were decided to buy crackers for this year Diwali. So, spent around Rs 1200/- for purchasing the crackers through online. Actually, all these days I didn’t know there is a option to purchase the crackers through online. But one day while discussion in my office one of my colleague (Dash) had informed me about buying the crackers through online. Also he told last year he had purchased and it was good by trusting his word Me, Shiva and Ram all booked the crackers through online and received that before the Diwali.

But, we couldn’t celebrate the Diwali as we would have thought because my mother was not feeling well and couldn’t involve herself on that special occasion. This made me too disappointed. Meantime it was raining momentarily which added to spoiling the occasion. So, have spent most of my time with watching television programs finally, around at 7:30 my brothers have started to firing the crackers and asked me to join.

After seeing few fancy crackers fired again, started to watch the programs. It was different and enjoyable seeing those crackers getting fired on the sky. Luckily none of the crackers getting wasted as like last year. I should say thank for Dash for suggesting this through online. Finally, it was not a usual Diwali celebration which I used to celebrate with my friends but still I enjoyed being with my brothers after long time to celebrate Diwali.

About My Dear Friends....

2010-10-31T00:36:00.000-07:00

long back, Senthil was asking me to write about our friends in my blog. Since it might create unnecessary conflict between us didn’t give much important to that. But today just for fun I thought of giving a try and want to see their response. Also, it is going to be my personal opinion hope they don’t mind it. Except senthil, the order which I am going to write about them doesn’t mean to show their importance to me it is just for order.

My life with Senthil Kumar
*****************************

Introduction with Senthil

On my childhood, I have seen Senthil many times in our streets, most of the time he plays cricket with his friends. There have been chances to speak with him but due to my reserved nature I didn’t talk with him. One day, his grand mother came to see her relation next to my house and came to know that I am working in the same company (CMA Computers) where senthil is working. Next day, she had a talk with me and told about senthil but that time senthil was working in Hyderabad. After a few months he got transfer to Chennai. First time when he saw came to me and asked my name and said that her grand mother told about me. It was not like our first meeting, it was like we met each other already. Being senior guy on that company he told, will provide the support whatever you need. Then, slowly we both become friends and he started to introduce his street friends and his family. Whenever we go to office he comes to my house with cycle from there i will be a driver for him till we reach office. Most of the time I will be riding the cycle, if at all he rides will say some health reason and give it to me. Since i like to ride the cycle didn’t care much about that. It was continued till we worked together.

His Mother's End
********************

When I got introduced with his family, came to know his mother had a prolonged health problem. After a few months, One day in office he told that her mother got admitted in hospital and told anytime she might be died. While saying, he cried like anything we didn’t have any word to console him. That was the first and last time I saw him cry. We all went to see his mother in the hospital before his final breath. Next day, she died. Then, we all joined for his mother’s funeral. After a few days senthil again came to office as normal as ever. Not that everyone has the strength to forget the things as soon as possible but Senthil has that. That is his greatest strength.

Aptech Course
***************

After his mother expired, himself and sister was taken care by his Grand Mother. Meantime, I and senthil have joined one year software course in Aptech where we have learned Basic programming languages and computer fundamentals. Unfortunately, after 6 months he couldn’t continue the course. Though, I have requested him to continue the course at least for the payment we paid he denied my request. Then I was alone attending the class till I received certification.

Resigned Together from CMA
********************************

After some time in CMA, The management wants to reduce the workers so they raised allegation against venkat for his quality. Till that time, venkat was a top performer in our group. Since, we were very close to him and know about his hard work, didn’t accept the allegation against him. So, we all threatened if he sacked, we all will resign along with him. After a week, management didn’t allow venkat to continue so we all resigned along with him without thinking about our next job.

Joined Millennium Data pvt Ltd
***********************************

After we resigned, few of our friends left us and started to look for their own. But, me, senthil, venkat and Shankar have searched together for job, and finally got the offer in Millinium Data Pvt Ltd. Initially, we worked in night shift for 3 months which resulted lost of our health. Meantime, Venkat got the better offer in Standard Charted and Shankar also started to think of starting his own business. So, they both resigned from millinium and started their own path. Like them, we didn’t have any graduation so, getting another job was difficult. But still, we didn’t want to continue in the night shift and loose our health. So had a talk with manager that we didn’t want to continue the job and thanked him for providing the job. After thinking, he told us you both are doing well. so, if you are interested can continue in 1^st shift where only girls will be working with you. We thought as compare to night shift 1^st shift is far better so decided to come on first shift.

Swimmig Course Experience..

2010-10-20T08:04:00.000-07:00

On 09-10-2010 me, sasi and rajesh have joined the swimming course on YMCA. From last month they were asking me to join the course. After we stopped playing cricket on weekends, my friends will go for swimming but I never join them because of water allergy. But, recently me and sasi have put more weight wanted to reduce as much as possible. So we decided to join swimming along with our regular exercises yoga and running.

First day, senthil came along with us to introduce everyone to the master. Before he introduced, Mean time we were watching him giving strict instructions for small kids. He was around 60 plus was working in Indian navy. The way he scolded them was remembering my school days. We were looking ourselves and thinking will he treat us also in the same way. If it happens it is very embracing especially when there are few girls. First day for assessing everyone’s swimming capability he asked us to swim one by one. After seeing everyone he told to me and my friends that we don’t require basic training and started with intermediate level of training. Since I didn’t have much swimming practice as like my friends was bit surprised that he recognized me in intermediate level.

Next day, onwards he started to give the exercise like pedaling breathing and swimming with help of swim pad. After few days of practice it was on 16-09-2010 (Ayudha Pooja day) master gave us jumping training. First he asked us to jump from 7 feet height, though we had a little fear jumped from that height successfully and swim. After 5 counts there he asked everyone to jump on water from 25 feet height. I was standing second and watching the 1^st person jumping. The way he feared to jump me too got scared. Finally, he didn’t jump and said to master he can’t jump. By seeing this everyone was laughing at him. I was thinking about my turn and wanted to make sure that I jump at any cost. But after seeing height and requested master to postpone on tomorrow but he didn’t allow. Then, first time in my life I jumped from that height on water and swim, it was so thrilling until I landed on the water have enjoyed so much. Still 25 days more to go to become a proper swimmer if my body condition permits planning to continue for one more month.

Deja Vu Experience (04-10-2010)

2010-10-16T02:52:00.000-07:00

Deja Vu (04-10-2010)

It was a Déjà Vu experience. I got the feeling of meeting the person who already met in my life. The experience with that person is like mystery can't understand but it was enjoyable. Why someone tells anything that’s dear to him and wants nothing more than to be closer than close to him. It is a surprise that someone tells the truth about them. Normally, the smart person will keep themselves for good reason. Also, hardly anyone tells the truth about how they feel about dear one but it is so strange for me to be next to that person and feel but can’t say which I would like to…..

It reminds me "All the right things are not possible always all the

Possible things are not right always" Mysterious right. Me too :)

It was on 15/09/2010, As usual Jayaraman was tried to play with us again but this time we executed our plan well against him and given Him what he deserved. All these days we were trying to restrict our instincts for good cause but this time didn't think about anything Just reacted on our instincts. I am sure many of them would have not expected this from us but this incident at least gave a chance for us to show them what we can do when we go for extreme. Me and brothers not at all regret for this and so happy for the incident. Also, we would like to thank for SASI guiding us for executing the plan perfectly.

2010-07-23T23:30:00.000-07:00

It is my 50th Post. I am writing this post about our Tirunelveli trip with my friends for attending Sasi’s sister marriage. Actually, this is the first time me and friends are going for long trip like this. Initially, when Sasi invited us for his sister marriage we all planned to attend the marriage only, but while discussion Shiva gave an idea to make this trip to visit courtalam, Tiruchendur and kanniyakumari. As per plan we all discussed with each other and informed everyone to take leave on 16th to 18th jun 2010. Meantime, I informed this to my brothers they also interested to join with us. Since I was not sure including my brothers in this trip I discussed with sasi and my friends, they too have accepted them to join. Since sasi sponsored the train ticket for everyone we asked him to book the ticket on 15th jun 2010 (Tuesday) from central station and return ticket on 19th jun 2010 (Saturday) from Kanniyakumari.

On 15th Jun 2010

After a month of waiting the day has come to start our trip for Tirunelveli. The members of this trip are along with Me, Sasi, Senthil, Eswar, Dharani, Raman, Rajesh, Shiva, Shankar, Mani ,My brothers (Appu and Vinoth) and kothandam (sasi’s relation). It was around at 6:00 PM we have taken the auto from our street to reach the central railway station. After boarding the train Me and Mani have taken the window seat and senthil, sasi, shiva, rajesh, appu, vinoth, dharani and kothandam stayed in our comportment. Eswar, Raman and Shankar have taken the next comportment. In travel, as usual we were making fun of each other in that Dharani was the most targeted person. We all enjoyed the site seeing especially we enjoyed seeing the Western Ghats Mountains. After a 16 hrs of travel from Chennai to Tirunelveli next day we reached the station called Valliyur the place where marriage is going to happen.

When we all get down from the train sasi’s father and his relations were waiting to receive us. after few minutes, they arranged the cab in that we travelled for 15min to reach sasi’s uncle house. When we entered his uncle’s house there few relations along with his mother and sister were sitting in the hall and welcoming us. There sasi introduced his cousin Saravanan who helped a lot to go around tirunelveli. He took us in his backyard for taking bath unfortunately there is no power in the pumpset so we returned from there and had our breakfast in his house. Meantime, we came to know there is no custom of having reception the day before marriage. We all surprised about that and more surprised this Sasi also didn’t know about this. Actually, it was favorable for us because we got more time to spend at courtalam falls. Then saravanan arranged the van for us. First we went for papanasam falls. In papanasam me, sasi, senthil, dharani, appu and vinoth went to one place where no one is there. There when senthil was taking the bath he was about to drown in the falls but fortunately vinoth and rajesh helped him to survive from that. After this we all went to main courtallam falls, small falls and five falls. it was most enjoyable. After this we all came back to his uncle’s house around at 11:00 PM and started sleeping

After the marriage, Sasi stayed with his family Raman and Eswar went to kanniyakumari, me and others took the car for visiting Karaiyar Dam and Tiruchendur murugan temple. After a 3hrs of travel we reached the karaiyar dam which is aboue the papanasam falls. After we reached there we took the boat to travel other side of karaiyar dam. Then we took bath in the karaiyar falls.
From there we started to travel tiruchendur murugan temple. When we about to reach tiruchendur the driver was driving rashly. When he was try to over take a bus there was one shareauto in the opposite side suddenly he took the wrong turn and we all escaped from major accident. It was horrible situation especially me and appu were sitting in the front seat and thought we were gone. Luckily by god’s grace we escaped from major accident and requested the driver to drive slowly but still he was not listening our word and keep on driving on his own way. At that moment, we were praying god for to reach safely. After reaching we had our dinner and stayed at tiruchendur beach for a while. Then, booked the room to stay at night.

Around at 5:30pm we reached kanniyakumari and booked the hotel near to beach. From there we all went to see the sunset and returned to our room. After that we spent time in the room by watching movies.

About tiruchendur Murugan Temple
********************************

It is one of the best temple have seen in my life. I have heard many things about Tiruchendur but after seeing the temple I like the temple very much. Because, It is very close to the beach. In the temple, There is one small hole opposite to the main deity where lord murugan will look towards the beach. In that if we keep our ear you will get OHM mantra. Moreover, this is the only place which was not affected by Sunami. Also, few places in the temple were constructed by digging the mount. After seeing this temple lord Murugan has become one of my favorite god.

Next day morning, we all got up to see the sunrise but unfortunately the sunrise was closed by the clouds. Then, we all prepared ourselves and started to visit Vivekanandar Rock and Tiruvalluvar Statue. There we spent lot of time for taking snaps while return rajesh new sleeper has been stolen. So,we searched for that but we couldn’t find it then, we returned to our room by 12:00 PM.

Dispute with Dharani
*****************
When we were in the train me and Senthil have bought manual juice mixer. Senthil kept his juice mixer with him and I gave mine to Sekar to keep for a while. That time, Dharani was sleeping so he didn’t know about purchasing. After a while, Dharani got up and saw the juice mixer pack from sekar and he opened the Juice mixer pack without asking the permission. Then, I asked Dharani “why you opened the pack “ then he angrily replied , this is not yours to ask, it belongs to sekar , so let him ask the question I will answer. Then, I told it is belongs to mine but still if you would have thought it belongs to sekar you should have got the permission him to open. Then didn’t agree me and started to argue with me. Meanwhile, Sasi and others have involved in the dispute and started to advice him. The argument went for at least 1 hour. Finally, he didn’t take anyone’s word but at least we had great fun by making him angry 

2010-05-13T01:18:00.000-07:00

It has been 5 months since Blacky came to our house, but This is the first time, I am going to write about our dog. Actually, blacky was raised by someone known to my friend SASI. One day, SASI came to me and asked , whether am I interested to raise a 2 year old Labrador dog. Also told, the dog owner is going abroad so they are going to give the dog for someone. Though, I don’t like dog because of their smell and their behavioral issues, but just informed about this to my parents and brothers whether they are interested. Since it is 2 year old they thought it would be cute and asked me to get the Dog. Because of their compulsion have told to Sasi to bring the Dog to my house. Suddenly, one day when I was in my office sasi and rajesh brought the Dog to my house and informed about the dog. After going to my house I was surprised to see the dog size which was much bigger then I expected. Initially, I was afraid to go near to the dog but Appu was able to manage from first day itself. After few days passed, I was also comfortable with the Dog and started to intract more with the dog. before it came to our house her name was "Ponni" since i don't like that name changed her name as Blacky. After few months one of the person from our street saw our dog and interested to mate our dog with his male Labrador named “jack” . Our dog was there with him for 2 days for mating then after exactly 63 days she delivered 6 puppies on 21-04-2010 around at 3:30 PM in that one puppy died after 2hrs . Remaining puppies are 3 from fawn color and other 2 from brown color . Soon i will upload the photos of those cute puppies...

3 weeks before on Saturday, me, senthil, sasi, rajesh, raman and siva all are went to Queensland theme park. It was my first experience with Queensland. Few years back I had visited V.G.P theme park with our millennium friends but this one I enjoyed much. The rides were more thrilling and enjoyable. Morning, we started with ride called “free fall tower” which would carry people till 60 feet of height and fall from there. Followed with roller coaster, octopus and swing weight after this in the afternoon, we spent time for water rides which everyone was liked but Raman did not come for water rides due to his health problem. After finishing the water rides we spent time for rides like crazy horse, cable car, go cart and boating also we experienced with mirror and horror house. Around at 6:30PM we started from there and reached our home at 8:30 PM. It was very entertaining and next time, we are planning to go for “spice and splash “which is few KM away from Queensland and have only water rides. Let see when our plan will be executed.

Avatar Movie Review..

2010-01-20T04:41:00.000-08:00

Recently, I watched avatar movie in INOX with 3D effects. I had tried many times to book a ticket through online for watching avatar but no luck. Finally, me and sasi went to inox and with his influence we got the ticket to watch the movie.

That was the first time I watched 3D movie. Initially, we thought it doesn’t going to make any difference with 3D glass but after watching I don’t have words to describe about the movie. Now it is my all time favorite movie. Entire film I was glued to watching the movie and I don’t think there is going to be any other movie of this kind will come in future. Before, going for the movie few people were saying the movie was like a animation movie. it’s true if you are watching without the 3D effect but once if you watch it in 3D theatre you can feel each scene of the movie. It is worth watching movie can’t be ignored. After a long time I got the satisfaction of watching a great movie. Hats off to the Director for delivering the master piece.

After seeing the crowd initially we thought we should get back to home but we decided against it and decided to watch the celebration on the beach. Around at 11:50 we had reached and beach. There were thousands of people were standing on the road and performing dance and firing the crackers for welcoming the new year 2010 along with we could see some news channel capturing videos of their celebration.

Gragha Pravesam Celebration (29-11-2009)

2009-12-22T23:22:00.000-08:00

It has been quite a while since I am planning to write about my house warming ceremony. Due to not having internet connection in my house for fast few days and restricted internet connection in my office I was not able to post about my “Gragha Pravesam” celebration.

First, We would like to thank the God for helping us in hard times, without the faith in him we couldn’t have done this.

It was my dream come true. When , I remember those rainy days in my old house and the problems we faced against our neighbors moreover, the struggles and obstacles my family had until to finish my house construction it was enormous. Especially, the pressure what me and appu had on those construction days was like a nightmare for us. But still, it brought us so much of experience.

Since the karthigai month is auspicious for “Gragha Pravesam” we wanted to complete the Gragha Pravesam within that month. So, we fixed the date on 29-11-2009 for celebrating our function. Though, I wanted to have the function very simple , my mother wanted to invite everyone because this is our first function in our family she wanted to know how many of them are attending the function. After a long discussion we have decided to invite all of our friends and relatives for our Gragha Pravesam .

It was on Sunday morning around at 4:30 AM started with “Gomatha Pooja “ after cow and calf entered into our new house my parents were asked to sit on their pooja place to chant the mantras for “Ganapathi , Navagragha and Mrithinjaya homams” . After that me and my friends went into the terrace to serve the breakfast for the invitees. After that we had photo sessions for collecting the gifts from the invitees. Around at 11:30 the function got over and we started to have our breakfast.

Overall, It was wonderful occasion and we all enjoyed with great pleasure.
Moreover, I should thank EDS Ramya for arranging me a Prohithar and friends for helping me to serve the food and kanniamma aunty for her support.

After long time, probably after Shankar’s marriage (Nirmala’s Brother) this is the marriage i was fully involved and enjoyed the occasions with all our relations and friends. Yesterday, the way it was rained we didn’t think that we could make up for her marriage but as soon as the rain got stopped me and my family members were reached the marriage hall. Though, Appu opted to go by VAN with my parents me and vinoth had planned to go by Bike for marriage. From my house we both started at around 6 O clocks and reached the marriage hall around at 7:30 PM. There, I had a chat with few of our relations meanwhile; I saw purushoth who is my best friend in my school days and my Hari uncle families were lived in their rent house for past few years. After 10th we both stopped our studies and started to work. But after few years I had started my studies and he continued with his work. Since he recently got married, was discussing about his marriage life. End of the discussion, he advised me to never ever give-up my parents and brothers even after marriage. The reason for his advice was, before marriage he was able to spend for his mother but after the marriage it was questioned by his marriage partner because of that he had to fight with her and now his mother is feeling bad about it. I feel pity for his situation. Meantime the reception got started and then I met Parthi , Ruban , Gayathri, Mogana along with Gandhi’s (Nirmala’s Sister) family and few of their relation. After that, I had my dinner with family members and we started to spend our time with Gandhi’s daughters. For passing the time we had shown few magic tricks and all the kid’s were enjoyed that. Around at 12 o clock all were started to sleep. Since I didn’t get sleep was trying to sleep meanwhile I could saw my Hari uncle and aunty were not sleeping and seriously discussing something. Finally, around at 3 O clocks it got my sleep.

Morning, I was woke up at around 5:30am and was surprised that no one was doing any marriage customs and even the miruthangam music was not performed and the poosari was also sitting just like that and didn’t perform anything. Actually, the Muhurtham timing was 6 to 7:30 am only. By the time they prepared the marriage customs it was around 7:20 am so they skipped most of the marriage customs and finished everything in a hurry till tie a Knot. I never saw such worst service in marriages. The marriage was done from boy side. He has very big family but didn’t see anyone to take the responsibility of doing the marriage it was total mess. My uncle’s family has involved so many marriages in their life but they never had such situation especially for their daughters. I was really disappointed for the marriage which didn’t happen as they would have liked. Meantime, I heard that yesterday my uncle was fell down while he was paring his bike and his backbone was dislocated and he couldn’t walk. Same time, I saw from boy side they were demanding Rs 30,000/- for marriage expenses. They didn’t even think about our uncle’s critical position. After our uncle’s shown Nirmala’s account statement they have accepted for performing further customs. After seeing all this, My mother, Our aunty and Gandhi all were crying about Nirmala who will be in Singapore in another 10 days and might come after 1 year only.

About Nirmala
*************

She is 2nd daughter and last member of our Hari uncle’s family. Among our relations they only very close to our family. As a family we have high regards to their family because we both families are identical in our actions and thoughts. After Shanker got married and went to Abu Dhabi only Nirmala taken care of their parents now she is also going for Singapore. Since my Hari uncle got injured I feel sorry for my aunty and promise we will give our support for them. Also, I wish marriage couple to hold each other in their good and bad times also have trust and faith in their marriage life. Wish them Happy and Prosperous Married Life.

2009-11-02T21:57:00.000-08:00

Last Friday it was team Engagement activity. After long time I am involving in this activity. Last time, due to my M.B.A exams I could not participate also, usually it happens outside but this time they arranged the party within Mphasis itself. On that day, due to Devar Jeyanthi celebration near to my place I struck up in the traffic and went late for office. After I reached their, around at 1 O clock the program was started. Initially, we had a get together for some time after everyone came we had our lunch. The food was very delicious and I enjoyed that. Meantime, we received the T-shirts from kurien as a complimentary. After that, for a few minutes Hakim, Siva, Ram and siva mani have shown their dance skills to ISL members.

Then, we had a treasure hunt game for an hour in that A.R team got the first place and our team got third place. Later, shiva put the vadivel comedy videos which was very boring so me and our desktop team came out and had a photo session for our desktop team.

Diwali Celebration (17-10-2009)

2009-10-26T09:01:00.000-07:00

It was a Diwali celebration for me. This diwali, I woke up early and made myself ready for Diwali. After that, I went to construction site to see the progress of electrical work done by Balu. After spending a few hours came back home. By the time I came my mother had prepared the breakfast with sweets. Actually, last year she wasn’t feeling well so we didn’t get the chance to had the sweets prepared by my mother. luckily, this year she was able to prepare the sweets for us. After I had my Diwali prayers went into 1st street to share the Diwali wishes with my friends. Meantime, Senthil and Sasi had the plan to buy a new mobile so they called everyone to come along with them to search for a mobile shop. Then, me, Senthil, Sasi, Sekar, Eswar, Shankar, and Dharani we all went along with them to the eZone mobile shop. Since, there was no proper response from them senthil proposed for another shop. Meantime, Sasi had suggested another shop which is in Besant Nagar. As per that we all went into the besant nagar. First when we went into that shop the shop owner was not present so we return from their. While returing, again we got the call from the owner. Then, we all went into the shop again their senthil and sasi bought Samsung mobile along with they got some free gifts. Meantime, we got the idea to buy a crackers from the Parris instead of locally. So we all shared the money and went into the parris at around 4:30 PM to buy crackers. After that, I came back home and went to “Anjaneyar Temple” along with my mother. Though, it was a last week of “purattasi” month there was not a much crowd in the temple. After worshipped the Anjayenar again came back home and went into the 1st street to fire the crackers in the Raman house terrace. Unusually, This time Raman was too strict to fire the crackers because he didn’t allow us to fire the flower pot on the terrace  . Moreover, the crackers were not good as much as we would have liked. But still we had enjoyed Ourselves. Since my camera was repaired I could not take the photos as like last year. So, I asked my friends to give pose for taking picture with my mobile. After that, while firing the crackers I got little injury so, I decided to came back home. Though, it was not a eventful Diwali as compare to last year but still I enjoyed the occasion.

1st Floor Roof Construction (04-10-2009)

2009-10-05T06:54:00.000-07:00

Last Sunday we were constructing 1st floor roof it was worst ever experience I had with labors ever since we started our construction. It was the day I suppose to be happy but it turned as a disappointing day for me. The workers were trying to get the money as much as possible without doing proper work.

When I said, I don’t have extra money they were ready to stop the further work. When I asked about this to our construction supervisor , he was simply saying whatever money they are asking give it to them otherwise work won’t finish. I didn’t expect this word from him finally, me and appu shouted at them for asking extra money. The reply was, if you want to finish your construction you need to bare these things. It was simply blackmailing we didn’t have any other choice. Moreover, we had prepared the lunch for all of them but only few people had the lunch.Others were denied to have the lunch and asked for money instead. Till today, we have been giving labor without any pending; at times we gave the advance whenever they need. First time when we said, we don’t have extra money they were simply ready to stop the work. Finally, we had given the extra money what they asked for continuing their work.

Construction Experience ....

2009-10-05T05:51:00.000-07:00

4 months before when we started our house construction our construction supervisor introduced one brick supplier from enjambakkam for purchasing the bricks. By trusting his words in front of him Appu had given the advance amount of Rs 30,000/- to him for purchasing bricks. While giving the money he promised that the bricks will be supplied on time in 3 phases. As per that the first supply was delivered within 2days of after giving the money. After that, we told him in another one month only we need our next supply. Then, after one month again we had called that person to deliver the 2nd supply. But it was not delivered on time. So, I had a talk with that person over phone and shouted him to deliver the bricks. Since there was no response from that person I had to talk with construction supervisor for getting the money or supply from that person. After he talks with that person the bricks were delivered after one week of our actual time. That time itself we were asking our construction supervisior to get the balance money from that person. But he said don’t worry, next time the bricks will be delivered on time. Again trusting his words we didn’t ask our balance amount.

Last week again we were in need of bricks, so advancely 15 days back we told that brick supplier to supply the bricks. Again last week I had called that person to confirm and asked him to deliver the bricks on Saturday (19-09-2009). For that, he replied currently don’t have a money so will try to deliver on Saturday if not on Monday it will be delivered. Then, I told him try to deliver on Saturday itself and he Agreed too. As he promised it was not delivered on Saturday when I tried to reach his mobile he didn’t pick up his mobile so I thought let’s wait till Monday to get the bricks. But still, it was not delivered on Monday and when I try to reach his mobile he was not picking up the call. Since there was no response from him me and appu have decided to meet that person on enjambakkam.

on last Tuesday me and appu went to enjambakkam to meet that person. When we saw him he was sitting on his shop since he couldn’t identify me I identified myself and asked him to supply the goods or give back our money. For that He asked us to comeback on Saturday if he has money will give to us. Then, me and appu told we won’t move until we get the money. Since he was not responding and threatening us we won’t get the money. We started to shout in front of his shop but still he was not ready to give our money back. Then, we decided to police station and made a complaint against him in that local police station.

After explaining our problem on police they sent one police constable along with us to his shop to get the money. But still he was not ready to give the money. Then, the police had taken him into the station for the enquiry. But still they didn’t help us to get the money; instead they asked us to come on Saturday and collect that money in the police station. When again on Saturday we went to police station they had asked rupees 1500/- for getting the money from that person. When we asked why we should give, they replied, it’s not our responsibility to get the money for you go to court and get that money. Since we don’t want to spend our time on this anymore we gave 1000/- rupees for police.

2009-09-27T09:08:00.000-07:00

Last week on Sunday, it was balaji’s 1st birthday party. we were expecting his birthday from last month finally it came on last Sunday. we got the invitation from his parents on Saturday and Sunday after the cricket match me and appu went to T.Nagar and purchased one Dog Doll for him and gift for his birthday.

About Balaji
**********
Bajaj is a very cute baby and all of my family members likes him very much. When we came to rent house he was 4 months old. Since his mother is nurse and father is working in Madurai whenever there is no one to take care of him we will keep him in our house. Later, he became one of the main member of our family. Especially, my father and father’s sister is very close to him. They always take him to outside for sightseeing. Because of that nowadays he expects someone to take him for sightseeing if not he will start to cry. We are going to miss him once we go to our own house :(

New Electricity Connection..

2009-09-09T09:19:00.000-07:00

Today, after waiting for a long time, finally we have got the electricity connection for our new house. All these year we were using the common electricity connection. Now, we are independent from our neighbors. While starting our house construction we were in need of electricity connection but our neighbours were denied to use that connection. But with the help of our Hari uncle family we got the temporary electricity connection. For giving that connection to us they also had faced so many issues from our neighbor. In spite of all the problems they continued to support us. I should say thanks for their kind help on the crisis time.

Moreover, I should say thanks to “Kirutha Seenu” who is helping us from the time when we registered our house. Whenever we meet any corporation officials if I say his name the work will be done as quickly. Even though, he is in DMK party without any posting, never behave like politicians also he knows our family supports ADMK but still he is helping us on corporation matters. He is very respectable person in our area but he is very close to Appu because my brother helped him to get more clients with his AutoCAD drawings. After knowing he is helping us, my neighbors went to him and told to stop supporting us but still he is supporting us on every move we do. He is one of the person who know all about our family from the beginning. He had seen the struggle of my father and father’s sister in this house. Recently, he had a serious health issue and had admitted in the hospital for one week but after he recovered started to help us to get all the metro line connections.

Sad Demise of My Yoga Master

2009-09-09T07:31:00.000-07:00

Last week, after a long time I went to nearby Park for running after running for a while I was sitting on the chair and gasping. Suddenly the watchman came towards me and was trying to identify me. Then, I identified myself with old Yoga student and asked about how the yoga classes are going. He replied,nowadays trainers are not good hardly 5 to 6 people are attending the yoga class. And I asked about the my yoga master “Jayachandran” for that he said, 2 months before he had died but not known the reason. After hearing this, I was really shocked and could not believe his words. His age was around 60 plus and doing yoga for more than 10 years and for past 2 years only started to teach yoga. He trained me yoga for 4 months and always emphasis on doing yoga regularly. He use to tell me I am the only one comes regularly for Yoga, at times he asked me to take care of the training but I was not ready. Later, he was not coming regularly and then I started to practice yoga on my home itself. From his training Still, I remember all the pranayams and asanas. he was very calm person and never allow people to sit ideal on yoga class even though they are children. Even though he left from this world not left from my heart. whenever I am doing yoga will start with remembering him. He is the person to be remembered all my life.

Solingur Temple Visit…

2009-08-24T03:45:00.000-07:00

Shri Rama Jayam

Two weeks before me and my friends were discussing to go for solingur Anjaneyar temple. As planned last week Sunday(16-09-2009) we decided to go for that temple. This is the 3rd time am going to solingur with my friends. Last time, when I was going my Grand Mother was with us, now she is no more.

For this trip there were 20 persons along with my friends . we missed only Eswar. Because, he had some work due to that didn’t join with us. On Sunday morning from our street, we started around at 7:00 AM and reached central railway station at 7:30 AM. Due to late arrival we missed the 7:30 train and booked the ticket for 8:30 train. Normally, we will have a breakfast on Solingur itself since we missed the training decided to have a breakfast on central station itself. After had a breakfast around at 8:30 we got the train for arokkonam and started our travel. It was a One and Half hour journey to arokkonam after that we got the Bus from arokkonam to solingur. We reached solingur at around 11:30am. Meantime, Dharani who was stayed near to solingur also joined with us.

In solingur, there are 2 temples called Big Hill Temple and Small Hill Temple. The Big Hill temple has 750 feet height with a steps of 1305 there we can see Narashimar in the form of Yoga posture in comparison the Small Hill has only 350 feet height with 406 steps there we can see Yoga Anjaneyar. On both the temple there are many monkeys living and they will hover around the hills and try to get the prasadam’s from the devotees.

Whenever we go there we will take more time towards sightseeing but this time we didn’t spent much on that and decided to have dharshan as soon as possible. We have started to climb the temple at around 11:30 AM within 4hrs we had a darshan for both the temple. After had a dharshan in anjaneyar temple while coming out there were 2 monkeys waiting, in that one of the monkey was diving towards me and took the banana from my bag. This is the 2nd experience for me in this temple last time they took all my prasadams but this time they left archanai flowers and coconut . After had a very good dharshan we started back home and reached here at 8:30pm.

I Am Back...

Poomi Pooja on 06-Mar-2009

Due to hectic work pressure, M.B.A exams and my home construction I was not able to concentrate much on writing my blog. It has been 5 months since I stopped updating my blog. Today, I have decided to spend some time to share my experience of past 5 months. There are many incidents are happened which I cannot forget in my life time.

On Feb, after we moved to rent house Appu got the reference from one of his clients to apply home loan in LIC Housing Finance for our house construction. Meantime, We met the builder called Thanga Raj who estimated around 18lacs for the house construction. With that estimation we have applied our home loan in LIC. After few days we got a call from LIC and confirmed our house loan was sanctioned and in another two days we will be receiving the sanction letter. By trusting this we decided to demolish our home and fixed our “poomi Pooja” in next two days. The day before Poomi Pooja we again called the LIC about loan sanction letter and got a reply saying, “The estimation was too high so we have cancelled the loan “. But still, thought we could convince the bank manager for getting the loan and continued with our “Poomi Pooja” as planned. On the same day, one of my envy neighbor also performed their “Poomi Pooja” . The next day myself and appu went to meet the bank manager and tried to convience but simply he denied our request and was giving useless explanation which was not informed in front while we applied our home loan. Next, we tried with different banks Inspite of having proper documents and enough salary eligibility we had been denied. The reason is “the property belongs to 3 persons and its only 450 Sqft” . Then we left with no other options, and stopped our house construction. After that whenever we go outside in our street everyone was asking about stopped construction which was annoying for us and literally my parents start to feel for that. then, my parents were decided to go for Nagoor to worship “ Nagoor Andavar” because we believe, whenever we go there something will get succeeded. As planned, on the occasion of Milad un Nabi (Mar 9th) my parents and Appu were reached nagoor dargah to worship the Andavar.

To be continued…

After they returned from the nagoor on the same week one of our mother side relation came to invite us for their son’s marriage that time my mother had shared our problem with them. Then, next day we got a call from them and got the reference of bank manager who is residing next to their house. after that phone discussion myself and my mother went to meet that bank manager and he agreed to sanction loan for our construction. But still we were not in a position to trust anyone until we get the loan. Next day, I and appu have gone with all the documents and applied for loan in that bank. It seems will take another one month to get the sanction letter. But still myself and Appu have decided to start the construction with whatever money we had in our hand. Also appu decided to start the construction on his own without giving to the contractor.On the month of April 24th again we did our “Poomi Pooja” to re-start our construction. This time we didn’t invite anyone from our street to join with our pooja.

After so much of struggle finally we got the sanction letter from the bank to continue our construction. When things were going smooth again the problem started from our own neighbors. Our house is in front of the road, all our neighbors’ shares common passage to enter their house. There are 4 families always will create a problem to our family. There were incidents we made complaints in police station against them for beating my parents and brothers but still they didn’t stop. After we started our construction we were denied to use the water connection and power supply but luckily my aunty was helping us to provide their own connection. Apart from that, they started to park their vehicle in front our house and not allowing us to keep our construction materials. Since my brother taken care of the construction everyone started to threaten him and not allowed to do the construction. Being a small person he was tackling all the issue but still he could not tolerate my neighbors. one day, when myself and vinoth was standing on the construction site suddenly all the person from 3 families came and threaten we should not put the door in the common passage , should not increase height and should not put steps on road side. When they constructed their house they didn’t care about us whenever rain fall our house will be flooded with water because they increased the their house hight about 3 feet also we were denied to use the common metro water for more than 30years. When I asked these questions, they started to say we are not having the rights to ask those also they said they are going to put the case against our property and stop the construction. On that day itself they all decided to share the money to put the case against our property. Even though, they can’t do anything we doesn’t want to construction get stopped and decided to meet the advocate and sent a warning letter through my father’s sister and applied the caveat on Civil Court for not stopping the house construction. After that only we are able to do the construction without any issues. I hope that It would continue till we finish our construction.

After long time..

2009-02-05T10:10:00.000-08:00

It has been a month since I wrote my blog and this is my first posting for this new year. Since I had to concentrate on my M.B.A exams I couldn’t spent much time for this. Last year was a learning curve in my career. I had met different people with different characters. Some of them gave me the inspiration and Some of them are going to be remembered forever in my life. Moving forward I hope all those experience which I spent with them is going to give me the confidence which I need to grow in myself.

Also, I persume this year is going to be more challanging then I ever had in my life and I hope could cope up with what I am going to confront in the coming days. Starting of this new year we planned to shift ourselves to the rent house to construct our own house. Finally, we have got one and shifted to the rent house on 01-feb-2009. after spending so many years in our own house with those envy neighbours now we have got the chance to live peacefully here. Let’s hope this will continue for ever. Moreover, My friends were started to watch the movies on every weekend in eswar’s office, last two weeks I had spent time with them to watch the movies inspite of my exams. It was a real fun to spent the time with all of my friends. Also, on last month we had cricket tournament in which we reached the final by bowl-out method with the help of my brother Vinoth. I appreciate him for is effort which has given us the opportunity to play in the final.

Moving forward, I am planning to spent atleast a hour for week to post my blogs. Let’s see……

Chepauk Experience (Ind vs Eng on 15-12-2008)

2008-12-22T06:36:00.000-08:00

It was a wonderful weekend for me. After had a long vacation i went to the office to
Finish up the pending tasks which I left before taking the vacation. On Wednesday,
I got the call from Shiva (who is one of our junior team member) for getting the ticket For ongoing cricket match between Ind vs Eng. However, I was not sure whether I would get the chance to go for the match; I told him to buy a ticket for Myself, Senthil And Dharani. With that ticket we can go and watch the match on anytime of the match. Of course, as expected I was not able to go for the match on Thursday and Friday, but I have Decided to go on Saturday. On Saturday, as we decided myself and others have gone into the Chepauk Stadium around at 10:30 AM. By the time we have reached the Stadium India have started to lose all their wickets. We stayed there till 11 o clock. Meantime, Dharani got the call from his office and he started to leave the stadium. Since, we also got bored by watching the match we too started to return the home along with him. Then, As usual we spent the day with playing The badmittan.

On Sunday morning, as usual we went to play for circket match on Saidapet Ground. It was a 3rd successive years since we started to play the cricket on the Same venue. So, after the match we have decided to celebrate the occasion. But unfortunately we lost the 1st match but able to won the 2nd match. On the evening around 2:30 I got the call from siva to watch the cricket match on the stadium. He had a V.I.P ticket to watch the match so he called me to accompany me. Since England got all out and India about to start their batting i have decided to go along with him. When we enter into the stadium it was electrifying and the crowds were enjoying the match by making sounds with different things. By the time we reached India have started there batting and shewag has hit 3 fours. Then, We were watching the match till sehwag Played when he got out we returned to our home. That day, I was very fortunate to Watch the sehwag’s game he had scored quick 86 runs and he hit four 6’s In his innings. When we came to home all my friends were curiously asking about
the match and how was the experience when watch it from the stadium. After, I had
explained experience of the match they too wanted to watch the match and asked me to take the leave to watch it on Monday. Though, I had the office have taken the leave to watch the cricket match. Because, India had to score only 284 something. If they could keep their wicket for whole day they easily can chase the total.

On Monday, we all three started to go early to the stadium, so that we could watch the players in their warm-ups. When we went inside the stadium there Indian team was playing Football. We were really happy to see them very close to our stand. We all enjoyed to see the Indian players along with umpires, commentators and England players. Especially Sachin Tendulkar- one of my favorite cricketer had shown the gesture towards us. After enjoy watching the warm-up around 9:30 Gambhir and Dravid both had came into the ground to start the Indian innings. In Every corner of the stand there are Indian flags were flying in the crowd. We all were witnessing electrifying atmosphere in the ground. Some of them had different kind of things to create loud noises. By lunch India have lost 3 wickets and scored around 230. At 11:30 we got the lunch break and all we went to Madras university and had stomach full and came back to the stadium around 12:30. When we entered luxman and Sachin were playing it was wonderful to watch to luxman’s game he was so elegant and playing his shots freely. Unfortunately he didn’t last long then Yuvaraj singh came into the bat and started to play freely with his typical strokes. Though, Sachin was playing slowly he was backing yuvaraj to score his runs freely. Finally, sachin has scored a boundary when India needed 3 runs to win and he completed his 41 century and yuvaraj came into party with scoring 87 runs to beat the England by 6 wickets. When sachin had hit the four to take India into the victory the atmosphere of the stadium was amazing. People were standing allover the stadium and applauding India for their victory. For me, I don’t think will ever get the chance to see this kind of the match in my life time. I had the opportunity to watch the match when sehwag is in full flow along with sachin’s century and the battings of Laxman, yuvaraj and Gambhir. I would like to thank you for Shiva for getting the ticket for me to watch the match. I hope in the future also we will get the same kind of experience to enjoy the match with our friends.

Due to increasing level of Ground water; wherever there is a gap in the surface from there water started to flow. Slowly, it is started to engulf all over the place. Meantime, we found outside there is no way for water flow. Because of that the rain water comes into my house. So, myself and appu both have decided to jump into the rain and started to dig the place where water got struck. In spite of the rain, we both were tried to clear the path. After we got tired decided to let it be and myself i have decided to call for the corporation officials; but as usual i got the reply, Soon we will send the person. After we waited for long time no one has came from the corporation office.

Meantime, Rain got reduced and I have decided to go for the office.Since, i took vacation from this friday to next friday, i had to come for the office to hand over my job to prasad. Around, at 3:00 o clock i have started from my house. when i reached saidapet again rain started heavily. while i was nearing the MIOT Hospital my bike got puncture. luckly, it happened near to one petrol bunk. Since rain was pouring heavily i have started to move my bike into that petrol bunk and was looking for anyone's help. Meantime, one person came from petrol bunk and told me that he can help to remove the punchured wheel so that i can take the wheel to the puncture shop. Since, I didn't have enought money i was reluctant to say yes. Then, I called prasad to get some money. after few minutes, he came with the money and he was helping me to find the Puncture shop. After we found the shop prasad had left. Myself i talk with the boy from the shop, he said, Will come only if we are ready to take him by auto and the cost would be around Rs 80 for the puncture. I have accepted for the same and he rectified the issue. Then, around at 4.30 i reached the office and started my work. Meantime, i got the call from Appu, he said still there is water flowing in the house it is not drained so try to spend your time in the office itself. so today night, i have decided to stay in the office. After, having the dinner around at 9:30 in the cafeteria .I have started to write this blog meanwhile, pantry boys served Good Day biscuit's for night shift persons. Though, Today is my Bad Day ; atleast in the form of biscuit i got the Good Day.

Our Grand Mother's Funeral (18-10-2008)

2008-10-21T04:52:00.000-07:00

It was Saturday morning, I was preparing myself to go for yoga class. Suddenly, a lady one of our relation came to my house and told “our grand mother has expired in the morning in her house” by hearing this news myself and my family members were shocked. Meantime, she informed the news to our neighbors’ who are all very close to our grand mother. After some time again she came and told me, “I don’t have any money to do the funeral so you have to take the responsibility”. Before we wanted to say “OK” we wanted to know the opinions of others. So we have decided to discuss with our relations whether they want to contribute for the funeral. Then, we had the discussion with our relations, but none of them was ready to contribute single rupee. So we have decided to took up the responsibility and do the final offering for her. After the discussion Myself, My Brothers and My parents along with my 2 neighbors were started to travel for the place where she died. I took my father in my bike and others are prepared to come by bus. Since it was raining heavily i stopped at near valacherry bus stand. Meantime, i got the call from my brother and said, he missed our aunty (Father's Sister) in the saidapet bus stand. I was really scared and didn't how to proceed from there. because it has been more than 20 to 25years since she traveled alone in the bus. Also my brother has said he searched Saidapet from Guindy but couldn't find her in both bus stand. Since it was necessary that i should be present on the funeral i took some money from the near by ATM and started to rode my bike. It was heavy traffice all over the place. After a long search we found the house of that lady. The place was like a small village between each house there is some distance. We went inside the room where her body has been kept, there we saw her in sleeping posture also they have not performed any rites for her. Then myself and my father had talk with the person who does the funeral customs and have given the advance money to start the funeral rites. Meantime, i went Tambaram to search for my aunty because of lot of crowd i couldn't find her. then, i came back to the funeral place and watching the proceeding, suddenly appu called me and told "my aunty came to the house" later he brought her to our place to see her mother's sister final journey. Then we together done with our final proceedings for her. Around at 5 O clock we went to the Graveyard and buried her and came back to home around 8 o clock. Afterthat, the lady who was taking care of our grand mother for last 1 year came to us and told, "she sold all her jewels to take care of her"

About Her
*********
She is our Grandmother's sister. She was the only person left in our old generation. She had only one daughter but she died in the age of 26 and her husband died at the age of 55. Her husmand was working in Government Office as a clerk, after he died she entitled to get the pension. Till 3 years before She was living separately next to our house. My brother and aunty use to take care of her till when she was here. 3 years back she sold her house and then she left from here. While leaving she had given money to all of our relations. For us she gave Rupees 15,000 which was big amount for our family. After she left from us we didn't get any message from her. Suddenly, Last year one day she came to our house after losing all her money with the persons who she trusted a lot. She had only Chain,Ear Ring(which is aroung 5 Sovereigns) and Rupees 10,000. Also she told,she was having 4 laksh Rupees while leaving from here but after staying with her neighbours she lost all her money with them. finally, she came to our house to take care of her. We have provided the accommodate for 6 months. In rainy season we were not able to manage her because of incoming rain water in my house. Meantime, one of our relation came and she told, would take care of her provided some money. since our grand mother also not ready to stay in our house. we have dicided to let her go in her way. Exactly, after a year she died in her house :(

My fater use to tell,she never treated him like our other relations. She helped all our neighbours to get the government job regardless of their education. Though, my father had good education as compare to others shd didn't help him to get one. If she would have helped my fater to get the job we wouldn't have faced such a difficulty to run a life. Finally, whoever she trusted and gave all her money none of them have turned up in her funeral. Even for her funeral everyone was discussing about her jewels and not ready to spend money. This is what world. If you have money you can turn enemy also in your side, If you don't even your childran could avoid you.

Joined Yoga Class (04-08-2008)

2008-08-28T20:08:00.000-07:00

After that incident i didn't compromise myself for my behaviour. On Monday, i got up early then went to kalainar park for walking to relax myself. There i saw there was a YOGA training inside the park also they kept the board saying it is free training daily at 6 to 7 am. I have been planning to go for YOGA class for quite sometime. fortunately i got the chance to learn yoga freely near to my house,so, i joined myself in that training and started practicing yoga. In that They thought 7 important Excersices,Pranayams and Asanams and their benefits to the human body. It was really good for me because sometimes i tend to get nervous, some situations, i may not perform well where i shoud have been performed well. also it increases our concentration power and makes you active throughout the day. After i went for the training, i informed to my friends and brothers to join that training, like me, they also joined into the training now we all are going for that Yoga Class daily. I feel, really benefited from the Yoga. Also, would like to thank you Trustee Divya Yog Mandir for giving the yoga training to welfare of the people.

Worst Behaviour in my life

2008-08-28T20:07:00.000-07:00

This is one of the day which i never wanted to remember in my entire life. As we started to play the shuttle with our friends on Kalaingar park. There were many small boys have joined to play with us. initially, when we started the game i thought it doesn't affect our game. but slowly the participation of the members have got increased, at one point it went more then the strength of our friends. then, we have changed the game like a tournament. so whoever is not performing in the initial stage have to go out of the tournament and they can get the chance only after the tournament finishes. In that i was the one who got eliminated from the tournament and i had wait for more than a hour to get the next game. that's it. I got frustrated because i was the one who had iniated the game to play with our friends. since increased number of people i didn't get the chance to play enough games. then, i exploded myself and shouted like, "i don't want to continue play here, i am the one who iniated to play the game here, if i am not getting the game to play why i shoud stay here i will go out" meantime, senthil said, Madhan what you are doing is wrong stay here. "I replied, everyday one new person will come and without any contribution they will play the game till the end, do you want me to accept that; i have initiated this to play with our friends not with others.after i shouted all other small boys have left from that place and i was really upset. Then i said sorry to Sekar Anna, since he is the one have affection withthem. Then i sat for few minutes and didn't know why i was behaved like that. Then everyone came and compromised me to forget that but till next day i was not able to forget. I don't think in my life i ever behaved like this in front of that many persons.

Initially, i planned to do the "Go Green theme" and searched for related information from internet to get ready for friday. Suddenly i came to know most of them have choosed the same theme for decoration. so myself i had to change my theme. on thursday i sat with vinay and we both were thinking about to choose the theme, eventhough i didn't get any theme in my mind, for vinay i got theme "Team Work" then he asked me to get something to decorate on friday. after this i have left early from office to buy decoration things. i came to home at 6.00 o clock and myself and chinna we both were went into the shopping to buy decoration materials. we were shopped till 8 O clock and purchased some tree kind of things and along with whatever chinna had suggested to buy that also i bought.

About Shivasubbarayan
***************************
He is generous,smart and courteous. more than that he has extrodinary talent. if any person had these qualities, he woudn't be like him.It was my pleasure to be around with him atleast for this short period. though the period was short, i learned lot from him, every day what i spent with him was a learning for me. he has the potiantial to become a leader, and i hope sooner it will happen. also ISL is not at all a good place for his talent. . He is perfect examble of how the man should be, i will never forget him till my life. again I would like to wish him all success for his new job assignment, and for his future endeavours. This is one my days which i can't forget.

Shivasubbarayan (Real Talent)

Today i had a different day. as usual morning i went to office at 9.45 am. after completing LAB assignment work. myself and others have gone for lunch. after the lunch as usual myself, elizabeth and shivasubbarayan had a walk through our campus. after few minutes of walk we decided to sit on the pavement, there elizabeth and shiva had started the conversation about how the ISL should be utilised and how its people should be managed. i was simply sitting with them and watching their conversation. the way both of them talked i was amazed about their thinking process. within them i saw their boldness,frankness and thought process. i learned how to think and how you should be. after finished our conversation, we went into office then myself and shiva were talking about something. meantime at 4.00 o clock we went into the SCCM OSD training. there yogesh and srinivasan started to give the OSD presentation. meanwhile shiva started with the questions why is the training, what is expected from us and what we are going to deliver after this training. yogesh simply replied that, he doesn't know its management decision; they only asked us to take the training" then they continued the session again shivasubbarayan interupted and asked them to give the proper training since it wasn't organised he asked them to learn,organize and present the session. yokesh said, since its not our core area i don't know how to get the KT from US counterparts anyway you are going to be in this team for future you can ask all those things from them he said. then shiva blasted yokesh by asking bunch of questions and asserted him by saying you are failed in your work lets accept it. i could saw the yogesh's face, i am sure, he never would have faced this kind of response or situation from anyone in all of his life. by watching all this i amazed. i could saw real character from shivasubbarayan, what a wonderful person he is, i never seen such a talent from anyone i was amazed, how he would have got or built all of his skills especially in such a young age. the way he talks, he should have been in leader kind of position. it was my pleasure to be around with him for past one and half months.i learned lot from him. i feel when i joined itself if i had the chance to work with him, i would have learned lot from him. i am gonna miss him in another 20 days. he is one of the best i ever met in my life.

Meanwhile i got the call from vinoth he said, in his company they are going to degrade his position for his mistake. then i felt very sorry for him i didn't know what to tell to him. yesterday only his GM had praised him for his performance and said would give more hike. unfortunately, coz of someone's recklessness he is in this situation. he has given all his effort for his company to grow, now they are concern about his salary hike so they fabricated the story to reduce the hike. what a kind of company it is. its worst than i ever expected. already my mother is concerned about his future, if she hear this she would worry. i don't know why all these things are happening to my family. whenever something good comes in our family something bad happens.

Farewell to Sathish (04-07-2008)

2008-07-09T09:15:00.000-07:00

Today it was a farewell day for Sathish. He is a very nice person, very calm, intelligent.he was one of the main person who helped to improve my communication skills. Also i should not forget to say about this, i learned Table Tennis from him only.If i had not have the chance to be with him, i wouldn't have improved my communication. in EDS i have many friends but only for few person's are very close to me and i share my thought. in those he is one of them.He was desperate to get into the project in EDS. fortunately, He got the job in his home town Banglore itself that too from one of the top MNC's. it was very short notice period for him today i had farewell to him. since he was planned to leave soon, i finished my work i took him to drop to the bus stand. After i dropped him, there was little tears from my eyes. i wished him for his current assignment and for future endeavours. he wished the same to me and said, Madhan, you are very helpful to me, if you ever have the chance to come banglore let me know i will help you. with little tears, i said, that's ok..keep in touch..TAKE CARE.

I said myself, in MNC's Don't ever have a friendship just treat them as a colleague. so that you won't get emotional when they quit. lets see...

Shri Rangam Visit

2008-06-30T07:04:00.000-07:00

After had a good prayer in Velankanni and Nagoor, myfamily and myself dicided to visit the Srirangam town.from nagoor at morning 6.30 we took the bus to trichy. we travled for 4hours to reach trichy. myself i had good sleep while travelling.

after we reached, My mother said, she wants to visit SAMAYAPURAM AMMAN KOvIL. which is near from Srirangam Temple, so we dicided to go there and took another bus to reach that temple.after 45mins of travel we reached there. it was like a small village.It is typical amman temple which village people would like to visit most. Myself i had a bad memory there, it was a fight between me and one of the temple person for not behaving properly.because of that incident i couldn't concentrate on my prayer. anyway my mother fulfiled her long time wish to visit the temple.After we came out from temple, we were hungry. so we dicided to have a lunch from nearby hotel. Myself i choosed one hotel and had my lunch. meantime, myfamily members were
joined except my father. after i had finished my lunch. there was one more incident happened.Actually its because of My Mothers innocence.They have choosen one table to sit to have food.in that place where was one yellow color which kept by someone.she thought it belongs to ours and gave it to my father. after receiving that my father was standing outside. after sometime one lady came and asked about the bag, my mother and brother have said, they didn't see anything.After they searched for few minutues they went out. Afte we all cameout from hotel, i saw my father was keeping 2bags with him. then i asked he said, it was given by my mother.then i asked my mother, we supposed to have only one bag, how you have 2 bags with you.She
said, didn't know about it. then i realised that bag belongs to those persons' who were searching for the bag. then myself and brothers have pulled the bag from my father and gave it to the hotel owner. while giving i saw there was a purse in that
bag. I really got angry with my mother. the person who missed that bag, how they would have felt. myself and my brother have shouted my mother on the bus stop. because of her innocence,others got affect.

After this bitter incident we started to visit the THIRUVANAI KAVAL Temple which is on the way to SHRI RANGAM TEMPLE. After 30min of travel we reached that temple. It is a SHIVAN TEMPLE. it was my pleasure to visit that temple.before entering inside the temple, i thought it would have built like normal temple as i have seen in my life. but i was amazed when i entered inside. i never seen such a kind of temple in my life. I suppose, it would have been built atleast 1000 years before.the sculptures designs are too good to explain after seeing all this we went inside to see the JALAGANDESHWAR, which is one of the avatar of lord shiva. The basic concept of this temple, Lord Shiva represent himself by means of water.Its constructured such a that if kauveri river flows in trichy the Deity of the temple would be filled with water. amazing!

After we cameout dicided to visit the SHRI RANGAM.The place of Ranganathar,the shrine of deity is in reclining posture (facing the South).when we entered inside we saw long queue, myself i thought, it would be diffcult to get the darshan.however appu said, we could make it to get the darshan. then we all stood on the queue at around 8 o clock we saw the darshan of PERUMAL and had good prayer. started to reach the railway station to get the train.i got the unresearved ticket to chennai. the booking person said, from 9 to 11.30 there would be 3 trains you could choose anyone as your comfort. unfortunately none of train had place for ours. it was fully crowded and we canceled the ticket and decided to go by bus. We thought, could get seats if we travel from trichy bus stand. But it was worster than what we thought. we were trying to get the bus till 1.00 O clock. since we didn't find anything, my mother and appu have dicided to sleep on the bus stop itself. myfather,vinoth and myself were looking after our things. since it was heavy crowded, we feared anything could happen in anytime. till 4.30 we didn't get any bus. so we dicided to go by vilupuram route. we got the seats to sit ourselves after 4 hours of training we reached there. from there we took pandicherry bus which we traveled for 45 minutes. at around 9.30 we got bus from pandicherry to chennai. it was about 4 hrs of travel to reach chennai. finally we reached the chennai atound 1 o clock.

It was a unforgottable trip wherein we had all the good and bad things. Especially myself i had visited many temples this year.But this is special trip after THIRUVANNAMALAI in this year.because i had chance to pray the god in all the forms and religions.also i hope, would visit Thirupathi before the end of this year.

2008-06-30T07:02:00.000-07:00

After a few weeks gap i went to play match. on the eve i said to sekar "i wish to come for tommorrow's match, so i got up at around 7.00 o clock then dressed up myself and went to saidapet ground along with appu and vinoth. It's been a few week after a long time i went to saidapet ground. and had a talk with few of my friends. though i had decided not to go for matches on that day i felt like to continue for play cricket. match has started at around 7.45am opponent team has won the toss and dicided to bat first. i went to field sweeper position since it was a long time, i was thinking whether i could able to field well. meantime batsman was hitting the ball towards me, i fielded the ball and thrown the ball towars dharani. after that i didn't see any ball coming towards to me. simply i was watching the proceeding from my position. few minutes later batsman hit the ball in the air it went near the sky. i thought of try to catch the ball, as soon as i saw sekar and makesh have judging the ball. i stopped my self try for the catch, but i went near to them if incase they drop i could hold the catch. fortunately whati thought was happend. they did drop the catch and before the ball fell into the ground i caught the ball. all the fielders came towards me. and appriciated for my effort. i was embraced and went to my original fielding position.after there innings completed. sekar sent the opening batsman to play, appu and raman went to open the innings on 5th ball of first over Raman gave is wicket. it was a good sportsmanship by raman. on the field nobody was thinking he was out, but he himself came out before umpaire gave him out. after him i went and scored 1 run . as usual by the same low bounce delivery i got bold and came out of creace with frustration. finally we lost the match and came back to 1st street. there senthil had planned to go for swimming pool, i was not keen to go for swimming pool, especially sekar said, around 25 people would go to the swimming pool. after convinced by sasi and senthil i accepted to go for swimming pool. exactly at 11.30 we entered into the swimming pool and started to swim on the pool. compared to last time i tried few things to learn swim it came out well for me. may be next time i feel i would be able to swim better than this. after had a good time in the swimming pool we came out at 11.45 pm. while coming back to our home myself and senthil had juice.

After this i came to my home myself and appu started to play ps2 game. first game i won and started to play 2nd game. when we were playing appu scolded me 2 to 3 times, patiently i was accepting all his words after some point time i lost my patience and switched off the ps2. then he came hard to hit me. i didn't expect this from him. he was trying to slap and hit me. i got pissed off and blasted myself i wont tolerate, if anyone try to dominate me especially if the person younger than me. i never accept that. myself i also went hard i got angry like crush him. my mother,brother and ruban have tried to stop me. if i had catched, i would have hurt him like anything. though it was my mistake to switch of the PS2, he only iniated the problem and provoked me to behave like it. after sometime i calmed myself and was thinking i shoudn't have behaved like this. and dicided not to play PS2 atleast for another 3 months. lets see how i am able to resist myself to play the game.

Past Memories

2008-06-27T10:44:00.000-07:00

Between Years 1994-95
*********************
Till 5th standard I did my school study in Alwarpet Corporation Higher Secondary School. After 5th standard, as like other parents my parents wanted me to study in private school. Even though they struggled to run the family, decided me to join Wesley Higher Secondary School, Royapettah. There I studied till 10th Standard. After finishing 10th STD I was very happy with my score and I thought I will get selected in polytechnic. That is where my fate started and i made a big mess. Instead of going for 12 STD I opted to go for polytechnic/ITI. Unfortunately I didn’t get any seat there. But still I was persisted with joining either diploma/ITI, in that process I wasted a year of study, meantime I was joined as an office boy in a company to earn some money. Then next year came I started applying for diploma/ITI but still I didn’t get a seat. Then I realized it is wasting of time, so I decided to join for some private ITI meantime I got a seat in Madras ITI as an Electrician.

Between Years 1996-97
*********************
The period when I studied there, it was like a nightmare for me and my family, I never seen or heard worst institute like MITI, if any student do a mistake they will harm them with rowdy’s. Also, they will ask money from students for nonsense reasons. However I didn’t involve in any controversies till my studies. Finally I had completed that course and relieved from that hell.

Between Years 1998-99
*********************
After completing the ITI, I was hyping like anything and I started searching for a job. Fortunately after a long search I got a job. But it didn’t last long, because I was offered a salary RS 500/- and my work timing is 7am –10pm.In a week we can only get half a day leave. There I was working for a month then I decided to quit from that job. Since my brothers were also studying i had to take over my family, So, I decided there is no more electrician job. I should thank my family for backing me on those circumstances. Then I decided to look for some different job.

Between Years 1999-2000

When I was in confusion for which job I should try, in my next house one person advised me to try for job in DATAENTRY. That time I had completed higher in typewriting it helped me to get a job in CMA Computers. This is my second turn in my life after education; I was joined in CMA with the expectation of getting a chance to operate a Computer. Here too my fate didn’t allow me. I was given manual work for pinning PAN CARDS fortunately it didn’t last long, after 6 months I got the opportunity to work as a scanning operator. I was very happy since I would be getting chance to operate Computer. There I got a chance to meet SENTHIL who is my best friend till now. Meantime I was joined in Aptech for computer course, which was my first experience attending class in English, though I had a hard time for understanding the class. Somehow I managed to pass the online exams where others got failed. That time I was confident like anything in software and thought like; in the world nobody can do a program like me. Meantime In CMA, when one of the senior gave us party for his marriage first time they made me to try drinks and smoke. There I had enjoyed life like anything. In CMA I got friends like Shankar, Mani, Venkatesh, same time Senthil introduced me with their street friends Chinna (Eswar), Raman, Dharani, Ramesh, Saravanan, Prasanna and Sasi. After that my life got rejuvenated and I was part of their cricket team. When we were working smoothly in CMA Sadly, Senthil mother has expired because of jaundice. After few months, Venkatesh had a conflict with owner and had to quit from the job, by supporting him everyone have taken the brave decision to quit their job without thinking about their family. Still it is a greatest moment for our friendship. Though I don’t have contact with some of the persons, still I can’t forget them. Again my job search started along with my CMA friends expecting millennium would give us a new hope.

Between Years 2000-2003
***********************
After searching a job for a while we got the offer in Millennium Data Pvt Ltd as a Data entry operator in nightshift. First when we went inside we got surprise with seeing more than 200 persons. Since It was my first nightshift job I had horrible time to cope-up with the job. Since I couldn’t sustain in night shift requested the manager to change in morning shift, after seeing me and Senthil performances he accepted for morning shift. Also he said we will be working with Girls we need to be careful. But when we went for 1st day job in morning shift we hardly could see 6-10 boys. In those, all are only team leaders and others are girls. Since it was my first experience to work with girls I was bit uncomfortable. But still we made our mind not to distract from given job, but it didn’t last long after a week Senthil got a girl friend named BINDU. And she introduced me and Senthil to their friends, slowly our friend circle got increased. We got friends like Sumathi, Revathi, Priya, Sarasvathi,Yoga Lakshmi, Sharmila, Devi, Sharmila, Kalishwari, Manju, Nandhini,Valarmathi,Vimala and then Revathi. Apart from them there is Manju Madam, Valarmathi Madam, Dhanalakshmi Madam, Christy Madam who were treated us like their brothers.

It was like a college for us. We had a great fun in that company. Normally, if you are having many friends it might create a problem. for us, it was like a family we never brought the lunch to the office, everyday all will carry lunch for us and ask us to share there food. Especially, REVATHY (Kutty) she never have her food without sharing with us. Slowly, we became popular with every team member on that company.

A year after, Senthil has fall in love with Bindhu. Though initially she didn't accept his proposal later she also fell in love with him. Soon they became "Made for each other" then the problem had started. Bindhu is a kind of girl who is "friendly" and "talkative" to everyone. Some times it irritates Senthil when she speaks with any other person like how she speaks with him. Senthil didn't like this and he ignored her. After this, both were apart from each other. Meantime, in their family they have started to search for the alliance. One day, she tried to talk with Senthil but he didn't respond. After few days she came with the invitation for her engagement. Though, Senthil didn't come for her engagement myself i went for the engagement. there, I saw her fiancé and i thought she had taken the urgent decision. That is one of the sad moments for her and Senthil. I was really disappointed that they didn't become successful pair. Meantime, in Senthil's house his parents also have started to search for the alliance. Soon after, he also got married. After his marriage, Senthil got promotion as a Quality Analyst.
Meantime, I have joined the B.B.A Course in Madras University and Hardware Networking Course in SISI.

Here I would like to say About (Kutty)Revathi.
******************************************

Photo Taken on Revathi's Daughter Birthday Party

Who is my best ever unforgettable member in my life and made the change in my life. Without her I wouldn't be in this position. She only motivated me to study more.It is great to have such a person in anybody's life. I wish her to be success with his family.

Slowly, everyone have got married and the day has come to separate Senthil from me. Senthil got a job in one of the money exchange company. He resigned from the Millennium and left me alone. Our five years of stint with 2 different companies as a Data Entry Operator have come to the end. Same time, I have also started to search for the job in different field. My search continued.....

Between years 2003-2004
***********************
Meantime, as I was completed the Hardware Networking course, I searched job for hardware engineer. Unfortunately, none of the company was ready to recruit me since I was a fresher. After a few months of search I got a call from SISI. There they said, "Our institute is going to tie-up with CSC Computer Center for hardware networking courses" and they have asked me to take up the faculty job for hardware network course on CSC Mylapore Centre. After little bit of thinking, I have accepted the offer and then I have joined as a Faculty/System Admin in CSC Computer Centre. There I met the HOD Ms.Maya and got introduced with the other Faculty's like Mr.Prateesh, Mr. Muruganandham, Mr.Sudharshan, Ms.Manju, Ms.Kavitha ,Ms.Sakthi and Ms.Bhargavi.

Still I can't forget my first day experience as a faculty. When I went for my first day class I was waiting outside the institute for someone to open the door. I happen to stand with one old student who had joined for hardware networking course. He thought i am also a student and treated me like that. After institute opened i entered into the class room with my training materials, there i saw the person who was treated me like a student. We both got surprised by each other and i started my session with introduction then I found he comes near from one of the slums in Mylapore. His behavior also was like, not having the intention to learn. Then i have done with my session on that day. After that session, i prepared myself well before the training, then a month of struggle I became confident on myself and brought that student on my attention. This experience helped me to handle another new patch. In CSC For enrollment, every year on the month of April they do conduct the SAT exam for the student and whoever gets the maximum percentage of marks they would get the discount on their interested courses. When I was there for that SAT exam they had enrolled 400 plus students for all the courses. That time they were short of the faculties to manage all the students. Especially, there were students from all the ages and classes. Our HOD thought someone should take care of all the students at least for the month so that meantime they would hire the faculty to handle the students. Since I was handling only two patches on that time, I was taken the responsibility manage those 400 students. On My first day in each patch there are 75 plus students were sitting on the class. I have explained them about basic of computer which included Basic of Computers, Hardware, Software Programming languages and end of the session I got the appreciation from most of the students and from my HOD for handling the patch without any issue. Slowly I had been asked to handle the other software and programming language related courses. When I started taking the software related courses there was embracing situations which I don’t want to discuss in this Blog. After that I became important member on that institute and I was recognized by the Director. One day I got the call from Head Office, they had asked me to go for Coimbatore to take the training for the B.E students about the Basics of Electronics, basics of software, hardware and networking. I accepted and went to Coimbatore to take the training. The next day I reached the location of the institute in Coimbatore and seen the training room. It was like a hall there were 80+ students and staffs were sitting to attend my training. That time I was little nervous because I never had the experience for taking the class for B.E students. Also I thought, B.E students should be having more exposure than me in those subjects. But I prepared well for the training what I am going to explain, I have started with basics of electronics as I expected, in that session I had been asked many questions by the B.E students related to Electronics to test my knowledge. Somehow I handled well but after when I started the class for computer related training I gave back them what I got. It was a great experience for me. In that end of training, I realized that “regardless of the audience whom you are going to present if you prepared well and made yourself confident on the subject you could do well on any presentation”. After that, taking class becomes easy for me. I was able to handle any kind of subject without thinking about whom I am going to take.

Meantime, the enrollments for Hardware and Networking course got increased and from Head Office they sent one more person named Jagadeesh as a Hardware and Networking faculty. He was working in CSC only for few months and then he joined in Sify for his new assignment through as a contract employee. Meantime I got appraisal, in that they didn’t put the increment which I deserve. After so much of handwork they didn’t recognize me. So I decided to search for the new job. Since I was not having graduation and didn’t have good communication I had been ignored by most of the companies in the interview. Meantime, I got the call from Jagadeesh for interview in Sify, Tidal Park. He recommended me with his manager for the interview. I never thought would get the chance to get inside the Tidal Park. I prepared for the interview and went to the interview. Like other company in spite of my technical knowledge they have also ignored me for my communication and my graduation. Being studied in Tamil medium and not had the chance to learn and speak English in my entire life it was really difficult for me to cope up with their expectation in the interview. Then only I realized, in this world without communication I cannot grow myself. So I have started to read the newspaper, watching English news and concentrated more on interview related technical questions. Like this, I have practiced for 3 months at least to improve my communication on get through the interview.

After 3 months, again I got the call from Jagadeesh for job opening in SIFY. This time I don’t want to miss the opportunity and I prepared my self as hard as possible to get through the interview. After a week time I got the call from sify manager for walk-in interview. Last time when I attended the interview it was with assistant manager and this time it was from Manager. As soon as he saw my resume he recognized me and said, “Normally we don’t recruit the people who have already attended the interview for past 6 months” because of Jagadeesh I am giving one more chance, he said. After that, for each question some how I have managed to communicate with him in English. End of the interview, he asked me why I was not been selected in the last interview itself. Then, I explained him the reason. He appreciated me for my hardwork and recognized me for their job and said, I have been selected for the Job. It was like my dream come true, though I was selected only as a contract employee for Sify I was happy that I am going to enter into the real IT world. Then the day has come for me to finish my stint with CSC Computer centre as a faculty. I have resigned from CSC computer center and then joined as a Technical Support Engineer in Sify Limited through Origin Infosys Pvt Ltd.

Here I would like to say About JAGADEESH
***************************************
He is very nice person and willing to help others when they are in difficult situations. Always has smile in his face and never get angry with others. Though, he is younger than me I learned lot from him. He is one more person in my life who interested in my growth and has provided the chance to grow myself. Without him also I wouldn’t be in this position. He is one of my best friend I will never forget him till my life. I wish him all success in his life.

Between years 2004-2006
***********************
My experience with Sify is entirely different from my previous organization.
On my first day nervously i was waiting on the reception to meet the manager. Next to me there were 5 other persons waiting to meet the manager.After i had talk with them came to know they were working in reputed organizations In that 2 persons were completed M.C.A and other 3 were completed B.E. Moreover, all of them had MCSE and CCNA Certifications. Since i had not even completed my Under Graduation i was really surprised and thanked the GOD for given me this opportunity. Then, I met the Manager Mr.Gunasekaran later he introduced me with other like Rajendran (Asst-Manager),
Ignitius(Team Leader),Rajkumar, Naga, Parthasarathy, Sathish, Saravanan, Jegan, selvamani and Durga. Apart from them one more person is jagadeesh who is my well-wisher and created the opportunity to get the job in sify.

In Sify, i was working in IWAY department. It provide support for internet cafes and way2talk Phones. As an engineer he can provide the support either from remotely or locally. For me, they have provided the option to work from Remote. The nature of the job is handle the service tickets raised by the cafe owner or admins from all over the india. There only, My first experience started to write the mails and Talk to the customers over the phone. Since, it was a domestic support manager doesn't care about how you are communicating. Initially, i had hard time to handle the customer over phone. Especially to handle the North Indians because they mostly prepare to talk in Hindi. Slowly, i became confident to write and talk with customers. After 3 months, Manager has decided to evaluate the engineer's performance and give the awards based on their performance. On that same month, i got the best performance award from the CTO Mr.Rustom Irany. Also, the same month the chennai was hit by TSUNAMI waves. After spending around 18 months in sify i realized there is no growth for me so i decided to resign from the sify and joined on CMA Computers ltd.

Between 2006 to 2007

CMA Experience
**************
After sify, I joined on CMA as a FMS Enginner from there I was asked to attend the interview for Maersk India Global Service Center there I met the manager Mr.Rajesh. On interview, after seeing my resume he didn’t ask any question and accepted me to join as a Infrastructure Engineer. After that, I introduced with people like Pariston, Prabhakar, Ram, Sanjay , Bala , Mahesh and Sajeev . There my senior manager is prabhakar who is very energetic guy and always talks rudely but very professional on handling things. In maersk the working culture is entirely different but comparatively maersk is far better than sify because they treat contract employee like permanent employees. There I had been given the cab and food facility, only thing is I don’t get leave on Saturday and Sunday but still there won’t be much work on weekends. I never had any close relationship with anyone on that company because all of them are older than me and also never talk much. It was the period I was doing my final year of B.B.A and was trying to complete my exams. On final year exam I had the arrears on one paper so I joined for the tuition and successfully completed my B.B.A exams. After I got my graduation started to search for the job and decided to moveout from that company.then, after long time in my career I started to attend the interview in MNC companies. Earlier, because I didn’t complete my graduation I never attend any interviews on MNC companies. But after getting the graduation I felt i can get through.

Interview with EDS
******************
I had my first interview call from EDS on the month of May 2007 after that call I went to attend the interview on Steeple reach there I met the HR person Shivani and Jain who had given me a warm welcome for the interview. Actually, I had been asked to attend the face to face interview but it was not happened because the manager who supposes to take the interview had not arrived for the location hence, I had the telephonic interview with Mr. Shiva who is my current reporting manager. After that interview I was so confident that I can get the job and waited for next round of the interview. In the same week I got the call from HR manager Mr.Ram for HR round in that he was asking questions about my education and the gap between my educations. After that I thought I won’t be selected because on my earlier interviews I had been rejected because my graduation done through correspondence. Then I was continued to work with CMA till june 2007. Suddenly, oneday I got the call from Shivani saying that I had been selected for lead infrastructure analyst role and they sent the offer letter for my acceptance. I was so thrilled to see the mail and started dreaming about entering into the corporate world.

Between 1994-95
Till 5th standard I did my school study in Alwarpet Corporation Higher Secondary School. After

5th standard, as like other parents my parents wanted me to study in private school. Even though they struggled to run the family, decided me to join Wesley Higher Secondary School , Royapettah. There I studied till 10th Standard. After finishing 10th std I was very happy with my score and I thought I will be get selected in polytechnic. That is where my fate started and i made a big mess. instead of going for 12 std I opted to go for polytechnic/ITI. unfortunately I didn’t get any seat there. But still I was persisted with joining either diploma/ITI, In the process I wasted a year in studies, meantime I was joined as a office boy in a company to earn some money. Then next year came I started applying for diploma/ITI but still I didn’t get a seat. Then I realized it is wasting of time, so I decided to join for some private ITI meantime I got a seat in Madras ITI as a Electrician.
Between 1996-97
The period when I studied there, it was like a nightmare for me and my family, I never seen or heard worst institute like MITI, if any student do a mistake they will hurt them with gunda’s for nonsense reasons they will ask money from students. However I didn’t involve in any controversies Till my studies. Finally I had completed that course and relieved from that hell.
Between 1998-99
After completing the ITI, I was hyping like anything and I started searching for a job. Fortunately after a long search I got a job. But it didn’t last long, because I was offered a salary RS 500/- . for work timing 7am –10pm with half a day leave for a week. There I was working there for a month then I decided to quit from that job. Since the time has started to take over my family, I decided there is no more electrician job. I should thank my family for backing me on those circumstances. then I decided to look for some different job.
Between 1999-2000
When I was in confusion for which job I should try, in my next house one person advised me to try for job in DATAENTRY. That time I had completed higher in typewriting it helped me to get a job in CMA Computers. This is my second turn in my life after education, how soon life is changing.
I was joined in CMA with the expectation of getting a chance to Operate a Computer. Here too my fate didn’t allow me. I was given manual work for pinning PAN CARDS fortunately It didn’t last long after 6 months I got the opportunity to work as a scanning operator. My happiest moment in my life after passing SSLC. There I got a chance to meet SENTHIL who is my best friend till now. Meantime I was joined in Aptech for computer course, which was my first experience attending class in English, though I had a hard time for understanding the class. Somehow I managed to pass the online exams where others got failed. That time I was confident like anything in software and thought like nobody in the world can do a program like me. There, I had enjoyed life like anything. In CMA I got friends like Shankar, Mani, Venkatesh, same time senthil introduced me with their street friends Chinna, Raman, Dharani, Ramesh and Sasi. After that my life got rejuvenated and I was part of their cricket team.
When we were working smoothly in CMA, Venkatesh had a conflict with owner and had to quit from job, By supporting him everyone have taken the brave decision to quit their job without thinking about their family. still it is a greatest moment for our friendship. Though i don’t have contact with some of the persons, still I can’t forget them. Again my job search started along with my CMA friends expecting millennium will give us new hope.
Between 2000-2003
After searching a job for a while we got the offer in Millennium Data Pvt Ltd as a Data entry operator in nightshift. First when we went inside we got surprise with seeing more than 200 persons. Since It was my first nightshift job I had horrible time to cope-up with the job.Since I couldn’t sustain in night shift requested the manager to change in morning shift, after seeing me and senthil performances he accepted for morning shift. also he said we will be working with Girls we need to be careful. But when we went for 1st day job in morning shift. we hardly see 6-10 boys, that too team leaders all others are girls . Since it was my first experience to work with girls I was bit uncomfortable. But still we made our mind not to distract from given job. but it didn’t last long after a week senthil got a girl friend named BINDU. And she introduced me and senthil to their friends

2008-06-11T18:35:00.000-07:00

After had a good sleep we started to go for velankanni, it is nearly 30KM from nagoor. we took bus from nagoor to nagapattinam,after got down on nagapattinam from then we took bus to Velankanni. after 1hr of travel we reached velankanni. It is a holy place for christian. there the main god is "Annai velankanni" who is mother of Jesus. what i like most about the velankanni is the sanitation facility. i have been going for velankanni past 4 years still the way they maintain the church is amazing. especially if you compare with nagoor it is really good. after we got down from the bus we reached the velankanni at around 5.30. when we walking towards the church, suddenly rain had started as soon as it started we were looking for a place fortunately, though we didn't reach the main church there was a one more place to pray. we entered inside that place there i saw jesus statue and all the corners people were sitting and praying. myself and my family members have choosen a place and we sat there and started to praying. meanwhile one person came and he was fixing board to all the pillers. after few minutes of prayer i saw writings on the board. they had mentioned that heart,kidney problems. like that every piller they had board with different information. after few minutes i saw that board and was looking for a place which is relevant for my prayer.then i found one and i sat there for few minutes and had a good prayer.by the time rain was stopped. we came out and looked for buying flowers and candle to offer for velankanni annai. we went to near by candle shop and bought candle next to that i found person who was selling the flowers, i bought 5 of them and we went inside the church and offered the candle and flowers to the annai and prayed for few minutes. then we came out and decided to go for beach, we reached beach on another 10 min. like last year we didn't had any food from there. since it was not that much good we dicided not to have food on those places. after reached the beach we spent about 45min and were seeing all the things happening around the beach. meantime vinoth wanted to take some snaps of me. we took and dicided to return back to nagoor. myself, my mother and father have started to walk towards busstand. after few minutes i realised my brothers haven't came with me. after i made call to them they said, were looking to buy something. I got frustrated since we need to reach nagoor before they close the main dargah vasal, i was shouting at them to come fast. but they didn't respond then i had to wait for nearly 30mins till they reach. after we assembled together we got a bus with some
free seats.
after few minutes of travel there was a incident, a old man was sitting opposite of my seat. and he asked something to the next person. the person laughlingly replied something. meantime i understood, actually the old man suppose to got down on velankanni but he didn't. so he asked the next person where is velankanni. after he laughlingly replied, the man got up from seat. and went into the conductor for help conductor scolded that old man and asked him to give 2 rupees for travelling further distance from velankanni. by seeing all this i realised the old man couldn't hear properly because of that only he didn't get down when conductur was shouting when it was in velankanni.by seeing all this i was sympathized for that man. after few minutes we reached nagoor. we pushed ourselves to the room to reach nagoor dargah asap.

Chennai to Nagoor

2008-06-09T19:41:00.000-07:00

After reserved the ticket on friday morning. myself and my family have left from my house at 9.30pm. we took auto to reach "eldams road bus stand". around at 10.00pm we got the koyambedu bus.after 45min of travel we reached koyambedu. My first frustration started here.as i was very thirsty i planned to buy a cookdrinks. i went to the near by shop and asked for "miranda" a lady who was taking care of the shop said its Rs.60/- i took the miranda bottle and saw the rate mentioned on the bottle.
it was only mentioned Rs.50 i was wondored and asked the lady why is it so, she replied, if you want take it, else keep it there itself. i kept there and searched for another shop i found all the shop have increased the price more than normal price. that too hike of 8 to 10 rupees. then i left with no other option. i bargained and got miranda for 58 rupees. meantime appu bought the "sprite" from other shop for same price. since one bottle is sufficient i dicided to return miranda to the shop. i went to the shop and returned the bottle, a boy, who took care of the shop said, he won't take back the product once its sold. after a few minitues of verbal fight he took the bottle and paid the money back.

By the time we finish bus came, and i led my family into the bus. we all took the reserved seats which are alloted for us. after few minitues driver started the bus. i was thinking about the increased prices of the products on the koyambedu shops.
when i asked the sales person,he said, in bus stand the price are like this. actually i had the money to pay what they wanted , but still i can't tolerate the price hike on those shops, especially if it happens to any poor how they would suffer, iif its goes like this no poor will survive in the world. by seeing all this i was wondered what the government is doing, are they doing any good for people of tamil nadu or elsewhere in india. meanwhile i felt sleepy, slowly i went to sleep.
after 8hrs of travel we reached nagoor.

Mount Road "Kodi' - 05-06-2008

2008-06-09T02:30:00.000-07:00

As i planned i got the leave for vacation, on thursday evening at 9.00 pm i went along with my famil to see "kodi " in mount road danda. this is the festival happens every year on particular day as per muslim calander. when i went there was so many people around the danda. as usual myself and vinoth have stayed on the corner and we were watching the proceeding of the kodi.
after some time , they raised the kodi and started "sandanakudum" procession. myself and my family members have tried to get the glimpse of the "danda sannidhi". but we couldn't. then we started to distribute the food for other devotees ,for those who came to see the kodi, meantime we heard the sound saying "bring the food here before distribution" then i turned and saw the boy. who was around with so many mens. all devotees who brought their "prasada" took those to him and he blessed then they started to distribute. I was also waiting on that queue along with my family. i was ashamed to be part of that queue to get the blessing of a human. people were pushing in all corners. finally we met him and he blessed the food and my mother gave him the cloths which she brought it for poors. finally we distributed the foods to the devodees and poors. and started to leave from there.
