மாப்பில தாடி யோடி இருக என்று கேட்ட நண்பர்களிடம்
அடி கடி சவ்ரன் செய்தால் முகம் கடினம் ஆகி விடும் என்று தான் சொல்லினென்

Desiderata

2007-07-16T20:16:00.000+05:30

Desiderata - Poem by Max Ehrmann

Go placidly amid the noise and haste,
and remember what peace there may be in silence.
As far as possible without surrender
be on good terms with all persons.
Speak your truth quietly and clearly;
and listen to others,
even the dull and the ignorant;
they too have their story.

Avoid loud and aggressive persons,
they are vexations to the spirit.
If you compare yourself with others,
you may become vain and bitter;
for always there will be greater and lesser persons than yourself.
Enjoy your achievements as well as your plans.

Keep interested in your own career, however humble;
it is a real possession in the changing fortunes of time.
Exercise caution in your business affairs;
for the world is full of trickery.
But let this not blind you to what virtue there is;
many persons strive for high ideals;
and everywhere life is full of heroism.

Be yourself.
Especially, do not feign affection.
Neither be cynical about love;
for in the face of all aridity and disenchantment
it is as perennial as the grass.

Take kindly the counsel of the years,
gracefully surrendering the things of youth.
Nurture strength of spirit to shield you in sudden misfortune.
But do not distress yourself with dark imaginings.
Many fears are born of fatigue and loneliness.
Beyond a wholesome discipline,
be gentle with yourself.

You are a child of the universe,
no less than the trees and the stars;
you have a right to be here.
And whether or not it is clear to you,
no doubt the universe is unfolding as it should.

Therefore be at peace with God,
whatever you conceive Him to be,
and whatever your labors and aspirations,
in the noisy confusion of life keep peace with your soul.

With all its sham, drudgery, and broken dreams,
it is still a beautiful world.
Be cheerful.
Strive to be happy.

Is Tuition - A need or a fashion?

2007-07-10T18:16:00.000+05:30

I could see that from UKG they started going / sending kids for tuition. in those people go to tuition either in SSLC or HSC and that 2 or 3 subjects. but now for most of the subjects they are going for tuition.

is really parents are not able to teach the kids at home?
or are they avoiding the responsibility?

this hype i have seen in only metros only.

After 2 years of selfless service, a man realized that he has not been promoted, no transfer, no salary increase no recommendation and that the Company is not doing any thing about it. So he decided to walk up to his HR Manager one morning and after exchanging greetings, he told his HR Manager his observation. The boss looked at him, laughed and asked him to sit down saying;

Myfriend, you have not worked here for even one day.
The man was surprised to hear this, but the manager went on to explain.

Manager: - How many days are there in a year?
Man:- 365 days and some times 366
Manager:- how many hours make up a day?

Man:- 24 hours
Manager:- How long do you work in a day?

Man:- 8am to 4pm. i.e. 8 hours a day.
Manager:- So, what fraction of the day do you work in hours?
Man:- (He did some arithmetic and said 8/24 hours i.e. 1/3(one third)
Manager:- That is nice of you! What is one-third of 366 days?
Man:- 122 (1/3x366 = 122 in days)
Manager:- Do you come to work on weekends?
Man:- No sir
Manager:- How many days are there in a year that are weekends?
Man:- 52 Saturdays and 52 Sundays equals to 104 days
Manager:- Thanks for that. If you remove 104 days from 122 days, how many days do you now have?
Man:- 18 days.
Manager:- OK! I do give you 2 weeks sick leave every year. Now remove that14 days from the 18 days left. How many days do you have remaining?
Man:- 4 days
Manager:- Do you work on New Year day?
Man:- No sir!
Manager:- Do you come to work on workers day?
Man:- No sir!
Manager:- So how many days are left?
Man:- 2 days sir!
Manager:- Do you come to work on the (National holiday)?
Man:- No sir!
Manager:- So how many days are left?

Man: - 1 day sir!
Manager:- Do you work on Christmas day?

Man:- No sir!
Manager:- So how many days are left?
Man:- None sir!
Manager:- So, what are you claiming for?
Man:- Now I understood, Sir. I did not realise that I was stealing Company money all these days.

Moral - NEVER GO TO HR FOR HELP!!!

Trekking to Sinhagad Fort

Sinhagad stands 25 Kms from Pune, formerly known as Kondhana, once being the most impregnable fort in western India. It’s literal translation is the "Fortress of the Lion". The fort has changed hands many times from Mohammed Tughlak in 1340 A.D., to the British in 1918 A.D. Legends says, 300 years ago Shivaji’s Gen. Tanaji Malusare scaled this sheer precipice with ropes and giant lizards. He was killed in the battle and a memorial exists. It is an ideal place for a day long picnic and site seeing. The main attraction is climbing the fort on foot.

Me and another friend started very early in the morning and reached sinhagad around 5.45 a.m. and started climbing up and reached up arround 7:15 a.m., it's very steep and rocky. and at around 9 a.m. we started to climb down while coming down, its very slippery, i was slipped and thought am dead, thank god a guy who's climbing up caught me... it took 1 hr to come down.

On the way back we stopped over Panshet dam. Panshet dam was built in late 50's. It became famous in 1961 when the dam collapsed and the entire water grabbed Pune city. we spent some time here and started to Pune.

On the way to Pune our bike got punctured in the middle of nowhere, we started pushing bike for around 1 km, by god's grace we got bus, we parked bike in the side of road and took the bus went to near by village (was 7.5 km from the place where our bike punctured) and convinced the mechanic to get it fixed, thanks to that guy.

Finally we started to pune half the way it started raining :)

Overall it was a day with eventful.

Strange Calendar for September 1752

2006-09-21T15:15:00.000+05:30

If you are working in UNIX, try this out....
At $ prompt, type: cal 9 1752

Isn't the output queer? A month with whole of eleven days missing. This was the time England shifted from Roman Julian Calendar to the Gregorian Calendar, and the king of England ordered those 11 days to be wiped off the face of the month of September of 1752. (What couldn't a King do in those days?!) And yes, the workers worked for 11 days less, but got paid for the entire 30 days. And that's how "Paid Leave" was born.

Translation by Shree Aurobindo

Mother, I bow to thee!
Rich with thy hurrying streams,
bright with orchard gleams,
Cool with thy winds of delight,
Dark fields waving Mother of might,
Mother free.

Glory of moonlight dreams,
Over thy branches and lordly streams,
Clad in thy blossoming trees,
Mother, giver of ease
Laughing low and sweet!
Mother I kiss thy feet,
Speaker sweet and low!
Mother, to thee I bow.

Who hath said thou art weak in thy lands
When the sword flesh out in the seventy million hands
And seventy million voices roar
Thy dreadful name from shore to shore?
With many strengths who art mighty and stored,
To thee I call Mother and Lord!
Though who savest, arise and save!
To her I cry who ever her foeman drove
Back from plain and Sea
And shook herself free.

Thou art wisdom, thou art law,
Thou art heart, our soul, our breath
Though art love divine, the awe
In our hearts that conquers death.
Thine the strength that nervs the arm,
Thine the beauty, thine the charm.
Every image made divine
In our temples is but thine.

Thou art Durga, Lady and Queen,
With her hands that strike and her
swords of sheen,
Thou art Lakshmi lotus-throned,
And the Muse a hundred-toned,
Pure and perfect without peer,
Mother lend thine ear,
Rich with thy hurrying streams,
Bright with thy orchard gleems,
Dark of hue O candid-fair

In thy soul, with jewelled hair
And thy glorious smile divine,
Lovilest of all earthly lands,
Showering wealth from well-stored hands!
Mother, mother mine!
Mother sweet, I bow to thee,
Mother great and free!

The Echo of Life

2006-08-03T15:20:00.000+05:30

A son and his father were walking on the mountains. Suddenly, the son falls, hurts himself and screams: "AAAhhhhhhhhhhh!!!"

To his surprise, he hears the voice repeating, somewhere in the mountain: "AAAhhhhhhhhhhh!!!"

Curious, he yells: "Who are you?" He receives the answer: "Who are you?"

Angered at the response, he screams: "Coward!" He receives the answer: "Coward!"

He looks to his father and asks: "What's going on?"

The father smiles and says: "My son, pay attention."

And then he screams to the mountain: "I admire you!"
The voice answers: "I admire you!"

Again the man screams: "You are a champion!"
The voice answers: "You are a champion!"

The boy is surprised, but does not understand. Then the father explains:

"People call this ECHO, but really this is LIFE. It gives you back everything you say or do. Our life is simply a reflection of our actions. If you want more love in the world, create more love in your heart. If you want more competence in your team, improve your competence. This relationship applies to everything, in all aspects of life; Life will give you back everything you have given to it.

YOUR LIFE IS NOT A COINCIDENCE. IT'S A REFLECTION OF YOU !

2006-08-01T15:14:00.000+05:30

haunted by the voices of yesterday
as they lift me up in a disturbing way
the bittersweet things they say, leave behind a familiar pain and i am drawn back like a moth to a flame
where ever i hide i will always be found
i just can’t resist their shrilling sounds
tormenting me through out the night
the voices give me hope with the darkest of light
and when the long awaited silence finally takes control
the emptiness rises into my soul
and i long so desperately
to once again here the voices of yesterday

Light a Candle

2006-07-13T09:18:00.000+05:30

Mumbai came to a shocking standstill on July 11 when serial blasts ripped through its local trains, killing and wounding hundreds. But the city of dreams stood fearless and fighting fit.

Light a Candle for those who succumbed to the blasts or got injured. For every candle you light, CNN-IBN and Channel 7 will donate Re 1 for the relief of the victims. If you didn't do it now http://clients.ibnlive.com/features/mumatt/index.php

Theory is when you know something, but it doesn't work.
Practice is when something works, but you don't know why.

Programmers combine theory and practice: Nothing works and they don't know why.

The number of things just outside the perimeter of my financial reach remains constant no matter how much my financial condition improves. With each increase in my income a new perimeter forms and I experience the same relative sense of lack. I believe that I know the specific amount needed that would allow me to have or do these few things I can't quite afford, and if my income would increase by that much I would then be happy. Yet when the increase comes, I find that I am still discontent because from my new financial position I can now see a whole new set of things I don't have. The problem will be solved when I accept that happiness is a present attitude, not a future condition.

Unseen Friends . . .

2006-06-07T14:38:00.000+05:30

We sit and we type, and we stare at our screens.
We all have to wonder, what this possibly means.
With our mouse we roam, through the rooms in a maze,
Looking for something or someone, as we with in a daze.

We chat with each other, we type all our woes
Small groups we do form, and gang up on our foes.
We wait for somebody, to type out our name.
We want recognition, but it is always the same.

We give kisses and hugs, and sometimes flirt.
In PM's we chat deeply, and reveal why we hurt.
We do form friendships - but - how, we don't know
But some of these friendships, will flourish and grow.

Why is it on screen that we can be so bold
Telling our secrets, that has never been told.
Why is it we share the thought in our mind
With those we can't see, as though we were blind.

The answer is simple, it is as clear as a bell.
We all have our problems, and need someone to tell.
We can't tell real people, but tell someone we must,
So we turn to the 'putter, and to those we can trust.

Even though it is crazy, the truth still remains
They are Friends without Faces, and odd little names . . .

Twelve qualities for good leadership

2006-06-02T11:12:00.000+05:30

I want to share with you guys, a talk by Sri Sri Ravishankar on leadership.

The first major aspect of good leadership is letting go of control. Are you in control when you?re sleeping or when you?re dreaming? No! Are you in control of any other function in your body? Your heart is pumping all by itself. Your liver functions by itself. The food you stuff in the stomach gets digested all by itself. Do you have any control over them? Are you in control of the Sun and Moon moving around the globe or even the globe rotating on itself? Are you in control of the thoughts that come into your head? So, when you realize you really do not have any control over all major things that are happening in you life, you?ll stand up and laugh. ?Oh, what am I thinking, am I in control of something?? Then you will realize that the idea that you are in control is an illusion. And then you relax. And that relaxed state is called surrender.

What is surrender? A state of mind, where you are absolutely at home, totally relaxed with no fear, anxiety, burden or problem. That state is called surrender. Surrender is our very nature; you don?t have to do it. When you are in your natural state of childlike innocence, you are already in a state of surrender. When you cannot surrender, then you make effort, and effort makes you surrender. So when you say, I cannot relax, I will say, Ok, hold your fists tight and tight and tight.

Then, when I ask you to make it tighter and you cannot do that, what do you do? Being tired, you just drop. This is coming to the other end with effort! For a leader, it is also important to be in the present moment.

So, what are the qualities of good leadership? How can you be a dynamic, confident and enthusiastic leader?

The first quality of leadership is to set an example. A leader doesn?t just order things; he does it so that others can do it.

Second aspect is that a leader takes good care of those whom he is leading.

Third aspect is that he doesn't create followers. A good leader creates leaders. And then chain action happens. A leader should delegate responsibility.

The fourth quality is that a leader does not depend on authority. He just does a thing, whether authority is invested or not. It comes by itself. The fifth aspect of leadership is that he does not worry about position. The respect that you gain through virtue is very different from the respect you gain through the position. The respect you get through a position is short-lived and temporary. But the respect that you gain just because of your smile, your attitude, your virtues are there with you all the time. You may be a chairman of this committee, a president of that committee, or you are barrister here or governor of that state ? these are all momentary, temporary. They come and they go. And the respect you get because of this position is not genuine, it is not from the heart, it is not true. But the respect you gain because you are a nice person, is genuine, it lasts long. It is spontaneous.

The sixth quality is that a leader is alert and when challenges come, he is not disturbed. A good leader is one who does not drop things when challenges appear. The seventh quality of a good leader is one who does not care for comfort, but who stretches himself beyond the comfort zone. Anything creative, dynamic and great can happen only when you stretch beyond your comfort zone where we are often struck. We think we cannot do something: just make an effort and put one step ahead, and you will find that that you are expanding your comfort zone. Creativity transcends your comfort zone. Or, when you step out of the comfort zone, your creativity comes into play.

The eighth aspect is, a leader should not mix head and heart. If you mix head and heart, you are in a mess! When you have to work, you work with commitment and you live with your head. In life, in situations other than when you are working, listen to your heart.

The ninth quality of a good leader is that he should be multidimensional and see from the other's point of view. Put yourself in other person's shoes, look from the other person?s point of view.

The tenth aspect is that the leader doesn't depend on one-sided information. When you get some news from one side, don?t take any decision or conclusion till you hear from the other side also. Leader should be a good communicator.

The eleventh is that a leader should have a direct approach.

Twelfth quality of a good leader is not to judge oneself. You have this tendency of judging yourself, ?Am I good? I?m no good.? The self-judgment is an obstruction. Stop doing that. Don?t judge yourself. When you judge yourself, you are judging others also. Then you oscillate like a pendulum. If you feel you?re good, then you are saying that others are not so good. So when you find that others are good, and then you feel that you are no good, you blame yourself. Judgment is very similar to self-blame and blaming others. We have to get out of this vicious circle of self-judgment. That is also the state of surrender. When you have surrendered to the Divine that means that you no longer judge yourself. Self-judgment is not necessary. A child is so innocent, why? Because the child doesn?t judge itself.

Relationship

2006-06-01T15:02:00.000+05:30

Relationship is
not how long you have been together
not how much love given or received
not how many times you have helped each other
It's how you value one another.....

What's Your True Color?

2006-05-26T14:16:00.000+05:30

I'm blue - the most soothing shade of the spectrum. The color of a clear summer sky or a deep, reflective ocean, blue has traditionally symbolized trust, solitude, and loyalty. Most likely a thoughtful person who values spending some time on your own, you'd rather connect deeply with a few people than have a bunch of slight acquaintances. Luckily, making close friends isn't that hard, since people are naturally attracted to you — they're soothed by your calming presence. Cool and collected, you rarely overreact. Instead, you think things through before coming to a decision. That level-headed, thoughtful approach to life is patently blue — and patently you!

so what's your true color?

2006-05-23T18:02:00.000+05:30

Ofcourse I don't look too busy....

S.M.S

2006-05-10T12:53:00.000+05:30

Some S.M.S in my MBox

Easiest way to die
1. Have a ciga daily u'll die 10 yrs early
2. Have drinks daily u'll die 30 years early
3. But love sum 1 truely u'll die daily.

It does not matter where you currently stand in life, but in what direction you are moving

Happiness comes from enoying the small daily things of life

One of the best ways to persuade others is to listen intensely to them

Your expression is the most important thing you wear

The art of conversation is not knowing what you ought to say, butwhat you ought not to say

You mat not have been responsible for your heritage,but you are responsible for your future

kite and life

2006-04-11T14:51:00.000+05:30

The kite does not rise with the wind, but against the wind.Sometimes to the left, sometimes to the right; sometimes upwards, and sometimes it has to fall to rise but finally it finds itself up in the skies. Life is never going to be free from obstacles and challenges. Yet, when we live up to our potential, we rise against all odds.
