Its all in the Selfish Gene and Mind.
One's god think where shud they keep the secret of creation and only intelligent can know it, they kept in the Gene and whoever is intelligent enough to break can know the fact behind the secret. Gene’s will reveal themselves and not wait for the Human to intervene. Once the Gene’s think the Human’s had reached the Intelligence they expected, the Secret Gene’s will show themselves where they are hiding.
Nature has a code which needs to be broken…more like a crossword puzzle. The more you dig…the more you uncover. May be sometime in the future…the whole thing would be revealed…and it’s worth just the same pursuing it
Is god Exists or did we created God?
Is Ancient Genius Man created God to make the future Human beings to have faith, obey, respect on good things. You might think, "Why do I believe in something I have never seen?” Then, you do not really think that GOD exists which makes me think all over again!
At the end of it all, very much confused!! Whether one of us created GOD or whether the GOD created us…has always been a matter of never-ending debate! Science works by observation. It is constrained by laws. Anything and everything has to obey the laws of Physics. And that’s the chief reason why scientists do not read much into mystical experience.
Here goes the concept of God as revealed by Guru Vethathri Maharishi.
His concept is very logical and scientific. Whatever we see in this Universe (the earth, solar system, the galaxies…….) exist in the space which is infinite and omnipresent. This space holds everything together. Also we can see a pattern and regularity in this universe. We see a pattern and regularity in solar system, in the galaxies, in a tree and in other Biological and environmental systems. So there should be a Universal Consciousness which attributes to this pattern, regularity and the consciousness in human. Also there is energy in everything we see. So the space which holds everything together is full of energy and consciousness. Before everything came into existence in this universe there was only space everywhere. From this space everything came into existence. Now there comes a question, how everything would have come from space. For that Vethathiri attribute a property to space. The infinite everlasting space has an inherent self compressive force which results in the manifestation of the universe. This primordial state of the universe, the space with infinite energy, consciousness and self compressive force is called GOD. So whatever we see today came from that primordial state. His philosophy gives greater insight about GOD, how we should live our life and a way to achieve world peace.
For example, if someone asks "why everything exists?” you'll get a variety of answers form different people. However, in the end, you'll feel that you're not satisfied with the even the best answer that you've got; you still would feel that there probably might be another aspect which hasn't been explored yet. And will science clearly explains about god? no way, so shall we say science itself is wrong. that’s not true.
Let certain things be unanswered, unsolved. Unravel the mystery of being you a tiny bit everyday. That’s what makes life exciting.
When i was about to finish writing this post, I heard someone whispering very near to me….
Hei Shiva, interesting stuff Na!!!
You are right Vishnu, it will be a big debate to follow, and will they find the mystery behind the creation?
Yep, it's all in the hands of the Secret Gene to survive enuf to make the human's more intelligent so that it will come out one day. But it seems like now it will end again in a question mark!!!
I was wondering is that the voice of Lord Vishnu and Shiva? :-) :-)

I Told You na ...
It’s the Talllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllest Building…!
Here goes, our Story’s Hero who is going to Commit Suicide, whose age is around 26 or 27 working in a software concern…
Looking handsome, earning 6 digit salary. Then what’s the problem in his life and why he is going to commit suicide. Is it bcoz of not having a girl friend; is it a Love Failure, or mental depression due to hectic work? Wht else would be there?
Meantime our hero reached the upstairs of this Talllllllllllllllllllllllest building. Alarm starting ringing and video cameras automatically live telecasting the images everywhere to indicate someone is there in prohibited area. Wow technology improved a lot and people donno what’s going on!!!
Okay…reached the top floor. Now its time to Jump.
Watch showed the time as 1:03 10/10/2201 …
1…2…3… jumped
Oops…Whts this all the windows of the apartments are closed. And oh it’s raining suddenly! Yeakssss, its too cold, cant I die peacefully?
Thank god, sun came out and typical Chennai hot climate is back ….
Seems like hands and legs getting very tired… Oops vision is getting dim and going dark.
Still I hadn’t reached the ground floor.
What’s the time now? It’s 2:58 10/10/2221 …
OMG it’s been 20 years and still I hadn’t reached the ground!!! Flying down, down and down ……………..

R U REALLY PATRIOTIC??
Got his fwd frm a frnd os mine...sincerely am already following the stuff mentioned in this...
here are sometin 2 discuss in serious note…
00% sure of u say yes to my qn…but pllzzzz think before you say yes ….
so theqs is R U PATRIOTIC?? WUD U DO NETHING FR INDIA…OR FROM WHERE EVER U BELONG????????WELL , those say we arent patriotic…stop here , i appericiate that u atleast say the truth…
but those who says , m like bhagat singh , sukhdev etc.. read onso u r a patriotic indian….thats cool….but all plzz stop lying….r u patriotic really??????
if u r , then u must want ur country as good as USA , CANADA , as clean as them…but tell me , do u throw ur waste papers , other garbage in the dustbin , wen u r in a park , and u cant see ne garbage bin near u , dont u throw the waste there only?????ok for modern generation , do u throw ur chewing gums in the paper properly and then in the dustbin??????I DOUBT….now please dont say we do , be true guyz
I know u would argue,throwing waste doesnt mean that we are not patriotic, but being a human u shud have done these simple things too in prior. That’s what I jus want to make a point rather than pin pointing on ur patriotism…
ok another qn , (m not saying or pointing) but think , if ur dad is corrupt , or ne of ur known is corrupt , wud u immediately go to ur dad and say dad dont do this???if u find a wallet while going on the road , will u go and give it to the police???
read this story…." 1ce a japanese guy was travelling by a bus , he saw 1 american just tearing a little of the seat , he didn't said nethng to him , he noted the bus no. and next day he tied that seat up with a pin and thread" …and wat wud u have done , if u were in same situation…u must have said …." mera kya hai , meri bus thodi na hai" …..
well fellows , 1 person have to start it….if somebody will see area around u clean , he/she will also try to make his/her area clean.. if u wrap ur chewing gum and then throw it , others will do the same…somebody have to take initiation….wat a democracy we have , the person who wanna speak sth against somebody , he is given a huge amount of money , and he too being corrupted shuts up….If this is democracy , its good not to be in a democratic country , look at AMERICA , do they have caste system???? do they got reservations????????Y a student getting 90% and a student getting 60% study in same college , bcoz of reservation????well do they deserve to b in that college???????????we just say say and say……
we dont do nethng , bcoz we are happy , we are nt facing any problem…..but just think about those who dont get good books to study , cant afford tutions , have brain but are nt considered intelligent???????now wat do u think , reservation is for a rich SC student or for a poor non SC student??and all this things is to get votes , to make india more low in national status …..we are happy sensex is increasing….but u know wats the consequency of thisRICH PERSONS WILL BE MORE RICHER….Hurrayyyyyyyyy,but poor will become more poorer…but who cares for them????? we are rich and we are happy….
SO IF THIS THING JUST TOUCHED U A LITTLE….FRM RIGHT NOW , DUN THROW THE WASTE HERE AND THERE , IT WILL BE A GREAT INDEPENDENCE GIFT FOR INDIA…
dont think , wat alone u can do….if u live in manner , others will also start…….and yes "bund bund se hi ghara bharta hai "in english," drop drop makes the tub full…"m sorry if my any point hurted ne body…..but also dont u feel its the truth….and yes…action speaks louder than words…..so dont speak wat u can do , do wat u really can do…..and ya put ur comments too , whether u are patriotic or not…?????
So no need to do big things for the nation, even the little things matters a lot and these are some things you can do…I know it’s difficult to change/do immediately, try out whichever is possible at this second and plan for the rest ASAP…
1. DUN THROW THE WASTE
2. DUN LITTER OR SPIT IN PUBLIC PLACE
3. HAVE A COURTESY of telling Sorry and thanx.
4. Try ur level best to follow the Rules.
5. DO HELP OTHERS. Enjoy the Ecstacy of Being Gud. Once u r addicted to this habit. It will make u to be gud, better and best.

100,Not Out and Goes on (100th Post )
And yeah…My Blog had its 100th post today...And it’s so good to know.
I take time to look back at my experience so far on Bloggers.
When i started writing this Blog, I used to visit it everyday hoping that there are some comments for what I have written :-)
But I wasnt lucky as only few comments were written.Then I found the tool that counts the number of hits to my blog and I put it on my blog…Voila..
It worked great and I was happy to see the counter increasing everyday.
Though I write blogs for myself, it is a thrill to have some unknown person read it and comment on it. Only then I realized the importance of leaving comments on blogs...to let know the person whose blog I read about what I felt after reading the blog.
Its very important that you take time to leave comments atleast to acknowledge the person whose words you read !
Perhaps it could help the person write better too !!!
At some point in time, blogging became an obsession and I had to work hard on instilling some discipline into my blogging activity, watching the time I spend on blogs.
Later on i forgot about the comments and post whatever i feel not expecting for the comments.
Day by Day blogging became one of my Hobby. Lots of lots of different experiences.
Sometimes i post something which i want to express it to a particular individual but not directly rather than thru my Blog.
Sometimes the disappointment on others. Happiness shared across and lots and lots…
Sometimes i see many of friends post purposely to attract others rather than for the real cause :-)
If at all one soul read the post and happy, that’s great joy rather than getting numerous comments just like that.
What matters to my Blog is it does not matter how many hits or comments we have on the blog.
It matters the number of lives it touches everyday.
Smiles we bring; happiness we spread
Positive impact our work has on individuals
People who we help move ahead in life
People who we inspire to achieve their dreams
Blogger has become an integral part of my life. It has given me a unique identity.
Happy blogging...

Will i ever Grow Up ...
Yesterday, i bought Frito’s Cheetos nearby shop in my office.
Now, dunt ask me wats so great abt that…
Jus listen up! So, yeah.. as usual , on evening, i opened the cheese balls pack to munch while working! J
Little did i know i had a surprise inside! I found a Cute Plastic Flyer in that!!! I got sooooo bloody excited that i immediately started using immediately - practically never bother about the place. The next moment, i bought one more Cheetos and i found another cute plastic flyer there!!! WooooW!!! Super cool na!!!
I collected 2 colours.. got to collect the other 2 colour flyers too - blue and red!!! :-)
I know all this sounds quite insane from a guy who is going to fly US in a few weeks time. But, i am this weird combo, who is a total freak for cosmetics on one side and on the other, loves anything that is kids stuff!!!!! When at home, we used to get such kiddo stuff for free (when i buy biscuits or chocis!!!). Usually, i never got a chance to keep them for myself. Mom and dad felt it was too stupid of me to play with such stuff and they used to pass it on to my other younger cousins! I wouldnt mind that tho! But i remember collecting tazo's that used to be given with ruffles lays!!! I collected so many that my cuzns got jealous. One day when i was away to skol, they took the whole pack from my home. I was searching for it all over the house. I even suspected my mother for throwing them away in the name of cleaning my shelf! Later, when i went to my cuzn's place, i found all my prized collections there!!! Hoila…I had scooted that back to home and kept in my secret wrack J
Okei let me come to the incident which made me so embarrassed. Once I saw the Flyers, the very next moment thought of flying it high in the Air.
Here goes the first take of, I had made the flyer to fly high as much as I can and so happy about that, even jumped with joy a bit. Slowly it came down waving thru the end.
Flight Just landed down ,I had lean down to take it and when I stood up, I realized that I was in my office corridor, where all the Associates are scaring at me with Mad Smile ( Particularly bunch of guys and girls started laughing at me like anything). Oops how stupid I am and I just walked straight with eyes looking down.
There it comes the final touch. A girl walked up and told me “Excuse me, here is your another flyer, you let it down while playing with the other”. BTW, where did u bought it?
Do you really wanna know or teasing me. Bye bye…I just literally walked faster J
Apart from the interest in such goodies, i am this character who digs into his dad's travel bag and suitcase when he returns from a tour!
I am such a selfish soul that i dunt even bother to ask him about his trip. But of course, i am kind enough to snatch the heavy bag, unpack it for him and check if he has got me anything!!! J
Once he went to Sabarimala temple in kerala, I was eagerly waiting for his arrival.
Yeah!!! One week later, he returned at around 3-4am in the morning! And i was wide awake, not to welcome him, but his suitcase!!!
But guess what??? He did get lots of chocolates. But sadly, enough, i was expecting that he get me some soft toys, but he got me one piggy that would skip!!! He also got an octopus clock!!! Yeakkssss!!! So scary it was!! OMG!!! I then felt i was a "big guy" to be playing with a pig that would go around the house skippin if switched on!!! For heaven's sake, i cant tell my frnds about his piggy that dad so lovingly got for me! I was sooo upset that day!!! I was like, "Appa, in kerala, arent there any soft toys?? Y of all the things u got me this pig??? My frnds will mock at me if i tell them u got me a piggy!! I dunt like it at all.. go to kerala again n get me somthing else!!!" Poor thing!!! Only now can i understand how bad he would have felt to hear those words from me! Every cuzn of mine born after me has played with that piggy!!! Now, my 2 year old neice plays wid it too!!! Frankly, i meddle wid it when i go home!!! J
I leave u guys to come to any sort of conclusion, but this is my other part of life and it never changes!!
Have a colorful, happy and safe day!!! Have a blast and enjoy yourselves!!! Take care… Huggggzzzzzzzzzz!!!! :)
P.S: There’s no point in being Grown up if you can’t be Childish sometimes :-)

12486 and goes on ...
Have u ever have Weird Thoughts and Imaginations. I still have the habit of thinking beyond the human thoughts.
Taking a Flight loaded with H2O to Mars and filling the Big big craters of Mars with the Water and creating a wonderful swimming pool out of this and enjoying the day (I still donno how to swim but dream abt this frequently)
Going back to old age of Mahabharatha times by time machine and meeting Mr. Krishna ( Lord krishna, the great Philosopher of all times) and teach him the Theory of Evolution of Universe.
But one lively thing I am still doing is “Counting the Stars”. And the current status is 12486 … and still adamant on this.
This habit started from my 12th std onwards and whenever I go to the upstairs in my home, admire the sky, stars and their appearance. Then one day started counting the stars without knowing that they are infinite.
I still remember the conversation I had with my MUM.
MUM: Chotu u cant able to count the stars.
ME: Why can’t I count it? I have Dad’s calculator with me.
MUM: Oh ho. Chotu even you can’t able to count stars by calculator.
ME: Then how dad is doing his work with calculator?
MUM: You can do maths by calculator but not the stars
ME: Mummy. Don’t lie to me like you do to DAD J
MUM: Hei you will get nice beatings from me
ME: You go mummy, I will come later.
Then I had started feeding my pet NEO (Rabbit) and continued counting.
Even after growing up, this habit is still continuing though I know that I can’t able to count the stars. I know its silly but I love this and will continue forever.

Taking a Flight loaded with H2O to Mars and filling the Big big craters of Mars with the Water and creating a wonderful swimming pool out of this and enjoying the day (I still donno how to swim but dream abt this frequently)
Going back to old age of Mahabharatha times by time machine and meeting Mr. Krishna ( Lord krishna, the great Philosopher of all times) and teach him the Theory of Evolution of Universe.
But one lively thing I am still doing is “Counting the Stars”. And the current status is 12486 … and still adamant on this.
This habit started from my 12th std onwards and whenever I go to the upstairs in my home, admire the sky, stars and their appearance. Then one day started counting the stars without knowing that they are infinite.
I still remember the conversation I had with my MUM.
MUM: Chotu u cant able to count the stars.
ME: Why can’t I count it? I have Dad’s calculator with me.
MUM: Oh ho. Chotu even you can’t able to count stars by calculator.
ME: Then how dad is doing his work with calculator?
MUM: You can do maths by calculator but not the stars
ME: Mummy. Don’t lie to me like you do to DAD J
MUM: Hei you will get nice beatings from me
ME: You go mummy, I will come later.
Then I had started feeding my pet NEO (Rabbit) and continued counting.
Even after growing up, this habit is still continuing though I know that I can’t able to count the stars. I know its silly but I love this and will continue forever.
Will update you the day when I reach the number 25000 :-)

Unfinished Voyage -- Why a Project Fails?
Ever wonder we LEADS take a great effort to make a project success at the EOD. But somewhere we fail and those unfinished voyages will embarrass you in future.
Here goes how to analyze the success formula and to sail thru the ocean to reach your project destination.
The table below lists the criterion in order of importance with their appropriate success points.
SUCCESS CRITERIA POINTS
1. User Involvement 19
2. Executive Management Support 16
3. Clear Statement of Requirements 15
4. Proper Planning 11
5. Realistic Expectations 10

Ask yourself each question with a specific project in mind and allot yourself the number of points specified for each YES answer. After reading all ten success criterion and the positive ways to achieve them, you should be able to calculate a score which can be a maximum of 100 and a minimum of 0. This number represents your project's success potential.
It’s not like other aptitude/ quizzets…I tried out, it came out well.
Here goes…
PROJECT SUCCESS POTENTIAL
In this COMPASS Report we look at the first level of detail.
1. User InvolvementFirst,
find the right user or users. Look for users up and down the organization. Second, involve the user (or users) early and often. Third, establish a quality relationship with the user(s) by keeping open lines of communication throughout the life of the project. Fourth, make it easy for them to be involved in the project. Last, but not least, talk to them and find out what they need. After all, the only reason the project exists in the first place is because someone needs to use the business application when it is finished.

Strains of Independence Day ...
The day starts with the telecast of Independence Day celebration and the PM's speech for the Nation.
We went for flag hoisting at a school called “Avichi” nearer to my friend’s place. Came back to room and switched on the TV. All the channels were telecasting about the freedom struggle, 60 facts about Independence, patriotic songs.
That was all usual things, but we felt sad about 3 important facts.
The Strains:
1. Eternal Refugees:
At the time of partition, people were migrated from pak to India and from here too. Though they left all their wealth and belongings, government had taken some measures to make comfortable living for these people. But the people from East Pakistan (Bangladesh) were left out without any considerations and they are still living in the Refugee camp, which comprises of 18000. They became eternal refugees without a proof of citizenship and other basic needs. This is because that they were from East Pakistan and were not given importance. Every human being will be proud of saying that this is my country and I am belonging to this nation. What about these people? They came from the lost country and lost in the living country!.
2. Commercializing National Anthem:
All the channels were telecasting the National Anthem AD of Airtel which was a new album composed by A R Rehman. It is acceptable if it was telecasted one time. But the real frustration is, this had been telecasted on every commercial break through out all channels. How can such a disrespect can be done to country’s National Anthem. How could this can be commercialized? It was very disappointed to see such disrespect. On Thursday and Friday they were just telecasting the making of the album. That was accepted but this is highly regrettable. As a media, they have high responsibility and I wonder how not even a single person had thought about this. This is not like other issues which we just worry about this and let go. This has to be put forth to the respective people in addition to all the respective authorities in order to avoid the same in future.
3. Game of Death:
And the other issue is, mere for the hype for the occasion of Independence day media called up the 1971 war veteran Mr Devassy who is still struggling to get his Pension and announced that he will give up his life on Aug 15. Nice of them that they had brought this to public and showed the sad face of nation. But where this media lost on the Independence Day and later today. There is no news about the proceedings of Mr Devassy whether the government had taken any action or what happened to his life. They brought this to public and they have the responsibility to show the public about the proceedings. Why they forgot about this after the Independence Day. Is this just for increasing the channel viewer ship, if so don’t they have other incidents rather than playing with the life of a human being?
Why nobody is questioning about this!!!
This is not like other issues which we just worry about this and let go. Guys you all have responsibility and please show this atleast in such a national outcome.
Check out my Manager Jay’s post especially on Commercializing of National Anthem on his Blog www.lowpriceedition.blogspot.com
He already sent mails to Airtel, Hindu and all the respective people about this. We are trying to oppose this in a stronger manner. Please make your comment on his Blog.

Redefining Independence Day …
15 August, 1947 – a day when India got independence from over two centuries of British rule.
Fifty-nine years later, does it mean anything to us? “Of course it does,” we cry in unison. TV channels will broadcast national celebrations, AIR will play patriotic songs and some important people will unfurl the national flag. But what about the aam janata (common man)? What do they do on August 15? I ’ll tell you what most of us will do. Get up late in the morning (it is a chutti yaar), glance through the Independence Day special published by different publications, check out some patriotic flicks on TV and hang out with friends. Or better still, most of us will see it as a perfect day to meet our long-lost relatives or friends. But how many of us stop to think (if even for a minute) what we mean to our nation? What have we, in our individual capacity, done for our nation? How many of us have helped in the public causes like literacy mission, blood donations or helped a blind man cross the road? Now you’ll wonder how ‘petty things’ like these are connected to the national cause?
Trust me, it is. Small gestures like these go on to make each one of us a responsible and generous citizen. Small things like lending your extra clothing and food for the flood struck citizens or working with NGOs during the college break will help us reach out to many needy people. Is that too much to ask from the Rang De Basanti generation? Certainly not. We had touching gestures of generosity during the Kargil war, Gujarat earthquake, tsunami devastations and more recently Mumbai blasts.
These hard times witnessed millions of Indians come out on the streets to help needy citizens in every possible way irrespective of caste, religion or region. The only thing that mattered then was humanity. Again, who were these people? They were the ordinary citizens, like you and I. If we can care for our fellow citizens in times of need, can’t we be humane to each other in everyday life?Don’t you think it’s time we stopped thinking of Independence Day as just an occasion for “remembering our national heroes and singing national anthem”?Let us give Independence Day a new meaning. Let it be a day for taking stock of our big and small contributions to society and setting self-goals for the year ahead. Let us celebrate each day as our Independence Day.
Let us contribute to our nation building, our ecology in every possible way. Let us be more civic and generous to each other.
That will be our true independence.

The only thing that mattered then was humanity. Again, who were these people? They were the ordinary citizens, like you and I. If we can care for our fellow citizens in times of need, can’t we be humane to each other in everyday life?Don’t you think it’s time we stopped thinking of Independence Day as just an occasion for “remembering our national heroes and singing national anthem”?Let us give Independence Day a new meaning. Let it be a day for taking stock of our big and small contributions to society and setting self-goals for the year ahead. Let us celebrate each day as our Independence Day.
Let us contribute to our nation building, our ecology in every possible way. Let us be more civic and generous to each other.
That will be our true independence.

Curtain Raiser: 60th Year of Independence
Here comes the country’s most Prestigious Occasion…
A Curtain Raiser for the country’s 60th Year of Independence.Indian Independence Day on Wednesday, the 15th of August.
An Independence Day is an annual celebration commemorating the anniversary of a nation’s assumption of independent statehood, usually after ceasing to be a colony or part of another state.Most countries honour their respective independence day as a national holiday and some countries or nations’ independence-date honors are contested.
The Name INDIA:
INDIA, referred as Heaven of Earth is the seventh-largest country by geographical area, the second most populous country, and the most populous liberal democracy in the world.[8]The name India may refer to either the region of Greater India (the Indian subcontinent), or to the contemporary Republic of India contained therein.The term is derived from the name of the Indus River and has been in use in Greek since Plutarchus[1] (1st century AD). The term appears in Old English in the 9th century,and again in Modern English since the 17th century….
The Republic of India has three principal short names and ancient name Aryarvrath, in both official and popular English usage, each of which is historically significant.All are originally designated a single entity comprising all the modern nations of the Indian subcontinent.These names are India, Bharat, Hindustan and Aryarvrath (Those days Indians are called as Aryans as they belong to the land of Aryarvrath).
Will try to post the unknown events, facts and controversial facts in the upcoming posts instead of consolidation of happenings of 60 years. Hope this wont let to the big argument and debate...

Taare Zameen Par…
Guys…ok now listen up, am going to tell about a story. A story about a star, who speaks, laughs, walks…
Simply to say…Taare Zameen Par…
You would have seen the stars in the sky blinking and sometimes winking at you. ever wonder it speaks vyth you. Here it is.
One fine day a star from the sky landed on Earth and i saw its searching for a home full of love
and looked at me from the distance and smiled…
Welcome to Earth my Sweet Little Angel.
And the Star is none other than My Niece “KAAMYA“…
Tiny hands, button nose, chubby cheeks, little toes. Cute little pink lips…choti choti aankein…softy palms. sparking eyes.
No wonder why kids are very beautiful…
A baby is cuddles and tickles on toes
The sweet scent of powder, a kiss on the nose
A baby is teddy bears, rattles, powder, and pins
Meals at midnight, giggles, and grins ..
lots and lots of fun everyday...
We play lot of games. Finally i will get tired of and lie down.. She is such an energetic never resides on one place not even a minute…She has a habit of seasonal crazy. Today she will be crazy about dog, suddenly her craze shifts to balloon, cars etc.
She wonders the sky and ask why the stars are there, why the moon is too high to catch and she asks me to get the moon for her . Poor fellow what will I do. I will ask her to Kiss me , then only I will give her whatever she wants. She does the same and I just give her Laddu or some sweet to divert the topic. This is happening daily and I love to get a kiss from her. So chweet….
One fine morning, We heard the sweetest voice in the world.
Yes you are right. Kaamya started speaking. My sister is flying in the Sky and asking her to Say Mummy thousand times.
And of course Kaamya has special love on me. Don’t know whether being Uncle or showing too much love on her that made a special bonding b/w us.
Still she doesn’t know how to cry., since we never let her to CRY for more than few seconds. How you will let your angel to shed tears. ?
She looks at us keenly and do whatever do in front of her.
My dad used to speak on the phone walking on the corridor or in balcony.
she just replicates when the mobile rings. she take it and run fast to the balcony, holding mobile on left hand and right hand on the back, walk lovely here and thr and say halo, how are you, bojanam aayana.
She is now much familiar with the keypad. Her favorite caller tone is Halgadi Badal rahi …I used to change my caller tunes frequently as per the current hits, but stick to this just for her…
She is gr888 fan of Sharukh. Whnever SRK songs shown in TV, she sits on her special cushion and forgot the outside world.
And she is my companion to watch Cricket and F1 Race. Just made her to admire on Cricket and CARS and of course KIMI is our favorite
Hide and Seek Game
We 3 guys (Me, My Niece and My Pet Snoopy) used to play this Game.
I used to hide the dairy milk chocalate on d SOFA and tell them its on the SOFA.
But wont say in which sofa and in which part of the sofa its placed. Adn time to google it ...
i always move slowly to make them to win the game.
Our guy snoopy run fast and starts searching , meanwhile my Niece catches Snoopy’s Tail and move it away and jump on each SOFA and turn back with her typical soapy smile asking me indirectly where it is.
My heart melts just like that by the lovely smile and will show where it is hidden and she wins the game.
Meanwhile if snoopy finds out first, he takes the chocolate and run to my Niece and give it to her. Even Snoopy is addicted to Kaamya’s Smile :-).You love to loose the Game, when your loved ones win it…
There is no point in being Grown up, if you can’t be Childish Sometimes…
And now she is the best company for me to read comics, play with toys and watch cartoons openly and i used to tell everyone that i have tuned cartoon network only for my niece :-). She loves to sleep on the Cradle with her own style of one leg on top of the other, sucking the thumb finger.
She's crazy on music and songs and has her own collection (Hey Shona from Tara Rum Pum, Munbe Va from Jillunu Oru Kadhal, Suraj Hua ma…from K3G, Koi mil gaya from kuch kuch Hota Hai, Lamha Lamha from Gangster, Vasanthamullai from Pokkiri, Vaikasi Nilave from Unnale Unnale, Paartha Mudhal Naal from Vellaiyadu Vilayadu and the list goes on…) Its so cute and nice to go for a walk with my Niece on the Shoulders and Snoopy on the other side. The whole street looks at us and smile.
When snoopy and my niece join together, the day will be full of naughty things. Snoopy try to catches whatever birds come to home. Kaamya joins with him and tell to catch this and that.
The entire home will be filled with dust and dirt. Finally i will be the victim who get all scolding’s from my MUM, as i enjoy all those happenings . My niece has her own style of speech which is tough to understand but so nice to hear…
Her Dictionary of words:
Gyangu — Water
Pibu — Prabhu
eyyapu–wont give you
Babbu — Ballon
Aapu — Food
Ammiyaa — My Mum
Ammae - her MUM
chandha– Moon
KeeKee - Bird
BaBaba – Hen
Addu - Laddu
Life is very simple if you learn and love to live. And she brings all the happiness.
And our star is yet to learn the “Twinkle Twinkle Little Star” rhyme . Tats moi next Assignmet

Forgive and Forgot - Most liberating forces.
Choosing to forgive set you on a path of liberty that allows you to live your life as you were meant to. I have chosen to live a life of forgiveness and I am definitely a better instead of bitter. Don’t bear grudges, just let it go.
I had forgot everything you did and forgive you for all the issues.
This post is particularly meant for you ( Hope the right person got this message) and expecting your comeback soon.

Back 2 FSGR...
Finally we are back to FSGR (Fruit Shop on Greams Road). Its one of our favorite place in the city for the juiceholics. I was thinking of writing a post on FSGR, but someway missed out everytime. Finally Here goes ...
Later they tried their hand at innovative juices, way of serving the customers, stylish glassmaterials, juicemachines and the attractive tiles.
They have ground floor on the beginning and renovated to increase to first floor, where all the commited couples land at first floor for the privacy.
We see many couples who just buy a juice and spend time for hours. We poor guys see them sadly :-) and finish our quenchies quicker and fly off.
Now a days, they came up with lots and lots of innovative and lovely juicips like
Twists in the Tale ( Kiwi fruit spcl), Cheery Cheer - its an elegant milkshake blended with restrained flavors of cherry. Blueberry Magic - jamun spcl, Canton Cooler ( alltime favorite)- Lychee fruits dipped n Honey,
Tang N Ginger punch - A light ginger with Grape blended with fruits, Ban D Banna - a subtle flavor of banana, Vaticna Orange , Peach Premium and a lot ...
This time there was a Guy and Gal sat opposite to us and seems like already an hour passed.
They never bother about the surroundings and chatted loudly. We heard few conversations that were very funny but cant make up anything from that.
Our guy heard better as he sat near to them.
And the conversation goes like this...
Gal: So and so my guy is gong to buy a car and he is planning to took his new girl friend to ECR.
Guy: I have less time to spend with my girl. and how about your would be?
Gal: My would be dont have time to reach me da. Guy i am dating now is dumbo man, he is not coming out frequently.And whats our plan this weekend, shall we go to Bikes and Barrels ( Its a Pub).
Guy: Lets decide later yaar, might the girl in my apartment have some other plan.
OMG...whats going on and who is lover to whom and who is going to marry whom?
We were laughing at each other but confused of the surrounding and left the FSGR.
Phir Milenge shankar anna.
PS: For those who wish to chill out at FSGR,its near to Cafe coffee at Greams road ( Dotn ask me where is Greams Road ...). Thye have their site too http://www.fruitshopongreamsroad.in/
We were into Loyola college for the Cricket Net practice on Saturday for our cognizant CCA cup. Very tired of the session and plan to land up somewhere we can chill out ourselves and there is our FSGR in Greams Road.
Sharon took us to FSGR first time ( He likes to visit lot of places in the city - ranges from juice shops to adventure spots and he is the source for our weekend plans).

The inner view of the Fruit shop is completely in contrast to the outside world.
You feel like you are in a Coolest place of the city.
A delicious snapshot of the Cheery blended with grape and various fruits welcomes your saliva in prior to you.
Its not just a Fruit shop, but looks like an office of an Interior decoration agency.
The hanging lamps and the wall posters along with the xclnt arrangement of seatings makes you feel like you are in a hill station.

They have lovely garden where we can relax well with a Cool breeze and sometimes surprises with Funky Magics.
And a gr888 thing we notice in FSGR is, the juiceman is a kind hearted person.
When some stranger or Economically Challenged Person( Pls avoid calling people by the name begger) comes to shop, they offer a juice instead of like other shoppers who either shout at them or give mere 50 paise .
The juiceman became friend of us soon and Sharon tries different combinations.
Soemtimes end up with lovely combos, sometimes thrown to recycle bins. But our juicemen, shankar is very gentle. He wont get irritated and loves the mad thoughts.
Shankar told that they had opened their branch in Dubai.
Those days we frequently visit FSGR but later on reduced from fortnite to monthly basis.
And not much variety of juices to add up on earlier days. Mere they provide the seasoned fruit juices, but they have their own quality which made them unique.

Lost in the Back Seat of the CAR...
I was on Vacation for 5 days in my Sweet Home.
It was Sunday morning(01-07-07) around 11 AM in my home.
Went to Back seat of My Car with the "Code Name God" book in the one hand and pulling Snoopys's Ear ( Snoopy is my pet dog) on the other.
First i thought of having a glimpse of the concept but When i started reading the book i had lost the outside world and time goes on.Was reading the book continuosly as the concept was very good.
Meantime my MOM starts searching for me and thought that i would have gone to friends place.Later in the noon around 3:30 PM, when Dad came to the car to start somewhere and saw myself reading a book inside the car and Snoopy were sleeping well...he was surprised to see me there and the funniest part is Snoopy was lying on my LAP like a child and slept well.i dont want to disturb this guy as he is in sound sleep and just told DAD to start the car.
Meanwhile we had not given any updates to my MUM.DAD reached Hari uncle's Home for some discussion.Snoopy is still sleeping !!! you know when i kicked snoopys leg slowly, this guy simply turn that side and slept off again. But remember snoopy is very active guard and hears even a low decibel but our man is in vacation mood and sleeping well today.
DAD lost his patience and called me to come inside Hari uncle's home. Okeiiii..enuf reading and chumma acting/behaving like a book worm. We had good time there chatting,munching and watching TV. Snoopy wakes up finally and barked on surprise about the new place. Very Good Morning Snoopy Sir:-) . Snoopy got down and sat in between my legs and watched our conversations.
Meanwhile MOM pinged me to my mobile and scolded me nicely on came to know that i was lost inside the CAR :-)
and Here Goes...
"Code Name God" is a must read book for all the Readers...But you should read certain sections of the book more than once to understand. The book is not all about science and its connection with spirituality. Mani begins on a rather philosophical note.
About Author:
Mani Bhaumic is the inventor of the LASER technology . He was born in a village in Bengal when the independence movement was at its peak. His father was a school teacher and freedom fighter. He lived in abject poverty and was close to starvation and death many times in his childhood. He talks about how he was influenced by his father, grandmother, fellow freedom fighters and Gandhi. He says “Gandhi exhausted an entire empire by sheer force of his goodness”. During the famine in Bengal, his grandmother starved to death by giving her portion of the food to him.
He rose from such a background to become a great scientist and multi-millionaire. He also gives an honest account of how he indulged in his wealth.
Concept...
This book describes Bhaumic 's spiritual journey, his discovery of god. He tries to explain god using Physics and how he does it, is simply mind blowing. He also proves that he is first a scientist and then a spiritualist.
Here are few amazing facts from the book...
The book essentially divides into three parts.
First, where Mani'schildhood life soaked in poverty and hunger.
Second, where the author moves to the US as a researcher and becomes a millionaire in the process.
Third, where the extreme richness leaves him contemplating on the more profound aspects of life and uses science to find answers to them.
We are treated to a wide array of scientific facts based primarily on the Quantum Physics theories that try to explain the spiritual aspect of One Source - the concept of One God!
Take a block of mud and arrange it into three different shapes - a triangle, a square and a circle. Now, even though we have three distinct matter that exhibit different attributes, the source of each of them is the same - a grain of sand. They are different, yet they are formed of the same source. Similarly, the world is formed by an energy particle called quark from which the universe sprang. This energy is all pervading and the order that underlies and enfolds all orders. And it is this One Source which we call by the Code Name: God.
Now, if you can understand that paragraph, you would understand what is behind all the complex jargon and complicated inferences that Mani uses to explain the science-part. Despite the author's valiant attempts to simplify the mind-boggling interconnections of quantum theory, a lot of it still continues to whoosh over my head. You cannot "locate" something that presents itselfin a form you do not expect to see, even if it is right before your eyes.
But it was also not sensible to hope that such riddles about universe, nature and spirituality which have baffled the human intellect since time immemorial would get answered within the span of a 200 odd page book.
Having said that, riddles need not be solved to be enjoyed. And that's why I enjoyed reading the book.

The Sixth Finger ...
I have a sweet, little Black Samsung Mobile bought .
Has all the features from mp3 to camera, Just like a Sixth Finger in my Hand.
It has Mobile Tracker facility where when someone took your mobile and change the SIM , the number of the new SIM will be sent to the mobile number saved in the tracker option.Nice feature heina? But what’s the use of having the feature without using it. Am blaming myself now.
Configured my favorite ring tones ( Jeans theme music for my family and Britney spears voice message - for the friends ) while receive calls.
Generally leave it in my keyboard tray,in office and near to my pillow when @ room.
On friday nite 11:30 PM, june 22 2007, i was reading the Saddam’s biography.On seeing the sony ericsson mobile on the slab,my friend ( Boopash)asked me did Arun came to room today ( Actually my friend arun was leaving home that night and inform to another friend of mine but he had not informed to me or boopash). i just told him, as mobile is there he might have gone out somewhere. But the mobile kept in the slab is not arun and its my other roommate’s mobile( they both have same type of mobiles).So my friend just closed the door without locking the same, so that arun will open it when he comes late.
That pave the way for our beloved thief to steal our mobiles ease.
Next morning, i was sleeping well till 10′o clock. Suddenly Boopash wake up me and asked where is your mobile and not able to find any of our mobiles too.simply told him that arun might be playing da, ask him and continue my morning dreams.He woke me up and told that loosu someone had took our mobiles.
OMG !!! what a lovely start for the weekend!!!3 of our mobiles were lost.
As usual our minds started thinking the fact behind this.We should have closed the door though we felt that arun might come late.Or atleast my friend should have informed to us about his travel.Or atleast one of my roommates who knows arun’s travel should have told us so that we would have locked the door.We searched the entire room.
Thought the possibility of who would have came on morning.
Is the servent maid?
Is the lady who comes to wash the clothes?
Is the guy who drops the Bisleri?
Or the friends of my Ex roommate ( Lot of guys like driver, guy working in a steel industry, guy searching for a home in chennai — these people jus come and go without our knowledge and came to know only when our house owner informed us ).
I went into a mini depression, and naturally thought that someone had stolen it.
But how can i blame anyone without any proofs or doubts. thats not fair.
I did panic, but blamed ourself of not locking the doors or atleast we should have kept the mobiles in the inner room.But more importantly, my trust in people has lost.
I started a mini rant as to how I shouldn’t trust people anymore, how there is no sanctity of private space and so on.
Might someone would have came to room and on seeing us sleeping well, the evil mind would have played the rest.
A satisfactory part is i had kept my IPOD in the backpack on that day alone ( It will be lying beside with me near to the pillow everyday).
Its pain to lose a mobile and the sad part is losing all the numbers.I had cute snaps of my Little darling ( My niece). Few poems which i typed in mobile and saved there itself.,Reminders, Favorite mp3s etc…
Its just like losing your 6th finger…
Even i thought of using the SIM Backup feature opted by HUTCH for taking the backup of all the numbers in the SIM.As usual being a lazy fellow forgot about that and in the midst of busy tasks not able to type a copy of numbers too.That too Leo’s like us will be proud of our belongings and its hard to get our belongings shared to others.
Thank god, when i bought the samsung mobile, my friend told me that common da buy IMATE or a Blackberry.Definitely i would have literally cried when i bought blackberry and lost it.
Then we blocked the sim immediately and went to hutch shop to get duplicate sim to retain the old number.Number got activated and back to my old NOKIA mobile on sunday evening.Sad part is my friends duplicate SIM got activated only on tuesday evening.
Really felt like i was in a lonely land left alone for the two days.We were much used to the compactness and easier way of communication (Usually i always do something with the mobile — Games, change the settings : let me take rest, but why shud my fingers ). Now felt bad with empty hands.But the past generation before 10 years lived without the mobile and used the landlines in the home to make a call. Our generation is void of using the memory. We wont know the numbers we saved in the mobile.Technology gaves us lot of benefits and reduced the time gap and communication but we lost the way to use our memory, planning and lot of basics.Even today my dad used to remember lot of address, phone numbers in his mind. but i wont know even my number sometimes, i have my number saved as MyNumber in the contact list .
Okei…let me use the technology but without compromising to the basics from now onwards…
Anyway every day is a day full of lessons to be learned.
Lessons learned:
Use the utility/features available ( i shud have used the SIM Backup option of hutch to take backup of my numbers, Mobile Tracker option in my mobile to trace the thief)
Avoid Communication gap ( My friend shud have informed us that Arun is going home so that we would have locked the door)
Get Clarified immediately ( atleast me or Boopash shud have asked my other roommate whether Arun have told anything that he will come late or going home)
Aware of Risk and Mitigations ( eventhough Arun will come latenite to room, we shud have locked the door and let we wake up and open the door when Arun comes back)
A tool will be good only as much as you use it…
Has all the features from mp3 to camera, Just like a Sixth Finger in my Hand.
It has Mobile Tracker facility where when someone took your mobile and change the SIM , the number of the new SIM will be sent to the mobile number saved in the tracker option.Nice feature heina? But what’s the use of having the feature without using it. Am blaming myself now.
Configured my favorite ring tones ( Jeans theme music for my family and Britney spears voice message - for the friends ) while receive calls.
