 I am a natural lover loving to live in this world without finding reasons for my state of affairs that I am solely in for the reason that being in present is the vital for any organism to survive leave alone competing because the world now is laced with lust for power ,money, nepotism ,total disregard for conservation of trees which are the dangerous trends ,I am treading along to spread the message with vigour and vitality. May I see you filled with contentment in life. ok. some people argue that the development and change of world order do stop if we are content with what we have. That is not the case. Mystatement is as simple as that:we should imbibe value system in the society for which we should study the way our fore fathers lived and we should ingrind in them the modern scientific thoughts to make the world a better place to live. For that order to happen ,we must respect each other and give each person the dues he deserves in spite of the works that he or she is engaging in be

 THE COMPASSION IS ALL ENCOMPASSING - “can any one imagine a person loaning his earnings to poor &unfortunate with out documentations !? “yes indeed he was a banker​ but he banked on the trust &good will of people & earned the co-operation which could never be compensated. HE​ was none other a person called padmanabhan-swamiji padmanabhanji to his devotees. He served Indian over seas bank at vishnupuram near nachiarkoil until 1990s.​ ​ H e used to read from osho to bhagavatham. One day he happened to hear the speeches of paranoor krishnapremi and he got the transformation he needed. “what is going to happen is always going to happen”-bhagawat geeta. He was willed to become sanyasin and peers’ pressure to get him married only ended in an ashram called “kottaiyur kudil” way back in 1920s, the kudil was founded by anna- raman anna . He was affectionately called ’Anna’s by people of the village kottaiyur,some 5 kms away from kumbakonam. until he attained pranayan in the​ ye

 People In Power Are Accoutable To The Society.. be it doctors, be it politicians be it business people be it journalists be it executives be it lawyers Can We Do Away With The Following.., 1.red tapism 2.favouratism 3.nepotism 4.corruptiion yes indeed. how? i heared stories about the father of self help movements -mohamed yusuf who had pioneered the concept of “self help groups” in Bagladesh. if at all we talk about empowering women, it was due to him. kudos to him . i am not digressing from my topic as well. he once through away crores of rupees in the villages of Bangaladesh and requested as well telling the villagers to get them collected and surrended. It happened. Why? Beacause of “TRUST”. we have to see TWO factors emerging from this action. 1.people follow the leader. 2.they follow the leader due to TRUST. we as social animals can not live in this society without a leader of our choices. Democracy provides enough opportunities to our people. Inspite of all, we lack in the TRUST

 It all started on​ one fateful evening during the month of march 1998 that a cyclist while trying to cross over my pedestrian wife hit her on the back. My wife felt the pain and got collapsed.I suddenly drove her to the nearby clinic and all the firsr aids were given.Days passed and she used to limp her legs as if she was deformed. shethought that it was better to consult an “ortho” and we followed . He prescribed medicines and pain killers. Months passed and no real relief was in the offing. Meanwhileher leg joints​ started developing the​ swellings and she became unconsolable as the pain was excruciating and dampening her spirit as well. By december 1998 , I was away atTuticorin on promotion . As I was placed there , I was unable to get in touch with her all the time as there was no internet and cell phones at that time. I used​ to book trunk dialling and when we talked,​ the real story was not revealed to me since my parents and in laws thought that I too would be depressed. What w

 Shadow of yesterday Have faded away, Sun has reappeared It’s a brand new day Birds singing their song Loud and clear, Announcing to the world A new day is here, Sun appears in the east Has begun a new quest, In the middle at noon And then sets in the west, Wishing you contentment And peace along the way Good morning to ALL And have a nice day: God must have known there would be times We’d need a word of cheer, Someone to praise a triumph Or brush away a tear. He must have known we’d need to share The joy of “little things” In order to appreciate The happiness life brings. I think He knew our troubled hearts Would sometimes throb with pain, At trials and misfortunes, Or goals we can’t attain. He knew we’d need the comfort Of an understanding heart To give us strength and courage To make a fresh, new start. He knew we’d need companionship, Unselfish… lasting… true, And so God answered the heart’s great need With cherished friends… like you! One Fine day, all of us will get busy wid our

Sir,​ Your take on Agriculture, it’s produce, implementation,infra structure, components, organic ,inorganic parts & soil , finally marketing have made me think ,observe & execute the plans according to resources available to meet the ends.​ First & foremost , I must introduce myself . I am hailing from the city – Kumbakonam , known for it’s rich culture , heritage & “Mahamaham” which is an occurance happening at our Temple City once in “12”years and there would be convergence of people of all hues and colours spread across india to have a “Holy Dip ” out there @ Tank called Maha (Big in Tamil,) Maham ( Culmination & Wiping off sins of the past). Another interesting facet about our Temple City ( hundreds of temples)is that it is seated in Tanjore District , known for “Big Templ

 TO MY FELLOW HUMAN BEINGS - I am a voracious reader. i love to be remembered as a creator in the field of journalism. my goal is to make people aware of their surroundings and try to make the best use of the potentials available to them and lead of a life of their own . may god be with me in my persuit to explore the world at large. there is so much joy and happiness in living and caring about our kith and kin. the cleanliness starts from home. let us make the world a better place to live in. my concern is about degradation and denudation of green cover from the surface of the earth. what the hell we are doing . is it in the name of development? utter nonsense. the words we speak , the action we do , the deeds we execute are complicit in nature. sir, i am not a preacher , neither do i need to become one. simply put i am a nomad. i want to live the life to the fullest by showing compassion and care . see how we are going about doing things . we impose education on our children . in the

I am a  socialist And I do believe in Panchayat Raj – an act enacted in April 24th​ 1994 @ Parliament for the welfare of people of villages in India as it envisages People’s participation and engaging them for their larger livelihoods. It is called participatory democracy as they could raise their voices in the meetings about their grivences, their issues, problems and get their voices heard One To One. More over, the meetings shall be conducted once Four Months on April 24th, May 1st, August 15th and October 2rd. These days are significant like the formation of panchayat act, world labour day, Independence Day and Gandhi jayanthi respectively. In the meetings, the agenda is proposed and seconded, followed by address by the president about the performance. The treasurer would give details of Income and expenditure in the forum for acceptance and approval. All the minutes of the meetings are being recorded and signed by​ all members of the meeting as well. Fact File :The people have a S

 It happened, it happens, it is happening and it is going to happen. I used to imagine like any other schooling kid about getting the exam through if I could overtake somebody going in front by the Time Target. This is the usual drama happening to many even today . For your kind reference Visit Ink Vinayagar who is basking In Glory with Ink smeared all over blessing the reluctant poor and rich students in equal proportions with out getting provoked at Kamalalayam Tank , Tiruvarur during the Annual Examinations Feast at the Hands of Paying Parents. But when I was studying for the SSLC exams in 1977 , I had a wild dream of losing my Maths Notes which contained the important workouts. We used to study and prepare a month earlier and Three Preliminary Examinations for each subject were to be attended compulsorily and marks scored would be entered in the FINAL SCHOOL LEAVING CERTIFICATE duly attested by the Head Master. Every body would carry the notes for the said examinations and they wou

 TO BE AND OUGHT TO BE -- How are you? With usual enquiries, the unanimous caller talked about the current affairs in banking. I was all ears for him. He was all enquiring and I was all attentive. Before he could digress his attention, I brought him into banking. He did all the talking about scandals, robbery, theft, emigration, attrition, retribution etc and what is lacking in general and at large -Honesty and Integrity. He went on to add that if these “Two Main Pillars of Strength” are taken care of, the Financial System in General and Economy as a Whole would be for the benefits of the people, you banker are working for. While we generalized our conversation about Capitalization and Recapitalization of the banks, Banking Codes, what worried him most was the fact which remains :the erosion of values -the value system is in for the beating. He cautioned me to be on-line always , making sure that people who own the Podium, always look for opportunities to explore New Things In Life. Hi
