{mosimage}தமிழில் ஒரு பழமொழி உண்டு "தலைவலியும் பல்வலியும் தனக்கு வந்தால் தான் தெரியும்".. ஏன் இதை திடீரென்று சொல்கிறேன்? சில வாரங்களுக்கு முன்பு கன்னட "கோல்டன் ஸ்டார்" கணேஷ் தான் காதலித்த பெண்ணை திடீரென்று திருமணம் செய்துக்கொண்டார். இதிலென்ன விசேஷம் என்கிறீர்களா? அந்த பெண் ஒரு பிரபலமான கட்டுமான தொழிலதிபருடன் குழந்தை பெற்று விவாகரத்தானவர். இந்த திருமணம் நல்ல விஷயம் என்ற போதும், இவ்வளவு பிரபலமான நடிகருக்கு, அதுவும் நிறைய பெண் விசிறிகள் கொண்டவருக்கு திருமணம் ஆகாத பெண்ணே கிடைக்கவில்லையா என்று முதலில் தோன்றியது வருத்தமான தாழ்ந்த அபிப்பிராயம். விவாகரத்தானவர்கள் மீண்டும் திருமணம் செய்தால் அதுபோன்றவர்களை மட்டுமே கல்யாணம் செய்துக்கொள்ள வேண்டும் என்ற குறுகிய சமூக சிந்தனையை நானும் என்னையறியாமல் வாங்கியிருக்கிறேன் என்று சிரிப்பு வருகிறது. இதென்ன திடீர் ஞானோதயம் என்று நினைக்கிறீர்களா?

Recently my anni sent the photos of my nieces Priyanka and Krithika (Keethu) participating in the childrens' orchestra. It had been sometime I had seen them in person. Time is flying like anything.... My wishes and prayers will always be there for them. I am happy and bit jealous that they are working with some legends I like to have even just a glimpse of them like S. Janaki amma. Some more photos of them are inside the article. Take a look!!!

We all know the film lyrics are for an imaginary situation, yet it manages to tug our heart strings once in a while. Some lyrics become too personal for us that we start feeling as if they are written for us. Some lyrics make us laugh, fill the heart with happiness and even make us cry. Todays blog is about one such instance. Last week I was on some deep thinking & a slight depression when this song was playing on. Suddenly I the lyrics caught my fancy and I felt an mosit eye. The song in the question is "Tu meri zindagi hai" from the film Aashiqui (1989). Infact I am a sucker for film lyrics especially that have an underlying current of pathos. I have been hearing this song from Aashiqui since my 8th standard and this is the first time I was moved to tears. The lines that made me cry is:-

"We keep seeing something/someone again and again for years but one sudden moment we feel them more beautiful and attractive that we fall in love as if we see it/them for the first time.. This I wrote earlier for a 'B' - Bhumika Chawla and now repeating the same for an another 'B' - Bangalore. I had been to Bangalore on many instances during my job search as well as for trainings & POC developments. Even though I liked this place, I never took it seriously. But this summer when I was there for an official visit, I realised that I was getting the warm vibes there normally I receive from Coimbatore, a place very close to my heart. To compound the effect, the office, team members and even my roomie in Guest house are all very sweet. Now I am in love with Bangalore and am seriously thinking of moving to this city. The politically motivated agressions towards TN and untoward incidents during such agitations is the only factor that makes me rethink my decision.

அட்டக்கட்டிக்கு வந்தாலே கதாநாயகிகளுக்கு sound collection மீது ஒரு ஈடுபாடு வந்துவிடும் போல. "பிரிவோம் சந்திப்போம்" படத்தில் தனிமை தாங்காமல் சினேகா தன்னை சுற்றிய சப்தங்களை பதிவு செய்கிறார். பல வருடங்களுக்கு முன்பு டி.டி-1-ல் வந்த "ரயில் சினேகம்" நாடகத்தில் கதாநாயகி இதையே செய்கிறாள், அதுவும் அதே அட்டக்கட்டியில். நான் 7-வது படிக்கும் போது டி.டி-1 ல் கே. பாலசந்தர் இயக்கிய "ரயில் சினேகம்" 13 - வார தொடராக ஒளிபரப்பானது. அப்போது அந்த நாடகத்தை புரிந்து கொள்ளும் வயது இல்லை எனக்கு. ஆனால் அதில் வரும் "இந்த வீணைக்கு தெரியாது.." & "ரயில் சினேகம்" ஆகிய பாடல்கள் இன்னும் நினைவில் இருந்தது. ஆனால் சமீபத்தில் அதை முழுதாக பார்க்கும் வாய்ப்பு கிடைத்தது. வழக்கம் போல சிக்கலான உறவுமுறைகளை கையாண்டிருக்கிறார்

Sometimes we come across some intresting sights and I managed to capture them by my mobile.

The vehicle numbers (6972 & 7972) are intresting in this case and I found it in the parking lot of Ascendas IT Park, Chennai.

For past few days, I am very seriously toying an idea to adopt a baby girl. My apprehensions about a marriage has nothing to do with this. Marriage may happen or not because I have decided to harden my stand about the criteria of bride and I am not going to buckle to the peer pressures. I don't want any compromises or 'work later on' in my spouse. But I can't wait to be a father soon as I feel that I can be a good father. I am not doing a favour to a baby girl by adopting her instead she is going to favour me by bringing a wholeness to my life. Ofcourse this process will take some time but I have already started keeping some money aside for baby's account, and definitely this adoption should happen within an year or two.

Today is my last day with Technosoft. No matter wherever I go, Technosoft will always be special because it gave me the entry into IT. If it was not my dear friend Prabhu Shankar, ex-boss Mr. Chandrasekar and Technosoft, I would have returned back to Dubai with a sales in job last March. Technosoft is where I learnt SAP IS-Retail, I got to have a confidant and well wisher in Prabhu Shankar. In fact I would love to have Prabhu Shankar along with me as long as possible in my life (careerwise and as a friend) and I pray that it should happen soon in future. This one year stint in Technosoft had taught me some valuable lessons in career about the efforts, presence being made felt and I must keep following them through out. I'll always be indebted to Technosoft (also Prabhu Shankar and Mr. Chandrashekar) for giving me a break into SAP. My sincere thanks to everybody here for bearing with me. Ofcourse I’ll be in touch but this is just an acknowledgement of my feelings towards them.

'Welcome to IT!' This is what my friend told me when I was shocked at the sudden lay off in our company. Fortunately (or unfortunately) I was not one of the victims, but the experience was shocking, sending shivers through the spines. This is an inside of otherwise extremely glossy IT field. Here just the revenue generated by you is counted, there is nothing like recognisation of your talent, humanity, blah.. blah.. Of course every industry retains the employees who are productive for the company, but only in IT the axes fall based on the life of the project. No matter how much talented you are, if your project ends / terminates, automatically your service also is terminated without indication. I just am concerned about the well being of my friends who faced termination recently.

D******** (20) is our family friend's daughter, we know her since the day she is born. Unfortunately she recently met with an accident and is being treated in a hospital. Yesterday when I went to see her, some diagnosis was going on and all of a sudden some blood earmarked for her surgery were used for that. Blood needed for her surgery was not still collected. The hospital's blood bank showed a shortage of needed blood group. Now doctors are left with only option - to collect blood freshly from donors. Within an hour we were supposed to collect 10 units of B positive blood. Then began the actual tension. To find out people with similiar group from the friends' circle we have is really daunting. If all of us didn't have a mobile phone that time, things could have been worse. Thankfully we got some donors in time.
