Thinking of flying? Think about me...!

Hope you have read my previous post 'Learn the language you wish..!' today...! Being the regular reader of my blog (aren't you?!), you might be knowing about my website dreamandget.com...! With the very idea of making people save time on searches and mutually helpful to each other, i thought of introducing day to day web tools in my website...!

As part of it, the recent addition to DreamandGet is, online booking engine ! If you are looking for a domestic / international flight booking, car rental or hotel booking, you can very well use this tool...! 

To access this tool you can click on the Travel and Leisure menu in the main menu or the top menu and then click the book online sub menu...! Or to make life easier, you can just click here to directly go to that page...!

The booking engine is powered by Yatra, India's preferred travel website...! It is my pleasure to invite you to use this tool whenever you need it...! You may also recommend this to your friends too...!

Being an affiliate of Yatra.com, my website will get a little money whenever you make a purchase using this tool...! (Sounds good... isn't it?!)

Learn the language you wish!

It was a half half day today with a mixture of busy and leisure composition...! This morning have started with very busy activities... Our Chairman was preparing to leave to Delhi on an official visit... There was a delegate representing an New Zealand University... Lot of people thronging for admissions... Its all only in the morning session of the day only... 

But the afternoon was very relaxed with less activities... You know whenever i get leisure time I used to surf the web to learn the world (?!)... Today my pick of the Internet is Livemocha !!

It is a website / web tool to learn human languages... For example, if you speak English and want to learn Japanese, you can choose it when you register it..! It is not an one-on-one learning platform!! You can choose to learn more than one language also...! 

What else...? Start learning and have fun...! You can also write your opinion to me (atleast this time!!)

Kids are always beautiful... in photos too..!

In a world of fun, anxiety, jealous, ego and stuffs like that.. there are very few things keeps us going and makes us forget about the wounds and scars we got in our life...! For me, my means a lot more in this world....!

When I was browsing the internet today, I have seen beautiful photos of kids and thought of sharing one of the videos of my son taken last weekend..! Because in most cases, the kids used to look like their parent and remind us our childhood...!

I really love kids..! They are cute, smart and wonderful even in photos too...! My mobile phone is fully loaded with my son's photos and videos only...!  He always love to imitate me...! He wanted to wear a lungi like me and was going hear and there for a while last weekend

Look forward to see more photos and videos...!

It is fluctuating...!

Then... how was your weekend....? Hope you have enjoyed with family and / or friends...! About me...you knew that I have been to Trivandrum for medical checkup...

We reached there around 9 pm on Friday evening.. The next day morning we have checked for the availability of the doctor and tried to fix up an appointment with him. We got the appointment to meet him only at 5.30 pm in the evening...! 

What to do..? We spent the rest of the time by going to the film 'Ayan' in the morning and I had a nice sleep in the afternoon... We have met the doctor as scheduled... He checked for the BP.. to my surprise, it was normal at 130/90.. The doctor diagnosed (But still not sure..) the HBP may be due to anxiety...

Anyhow he prescribed a small tablet to have at the bed time on that day and asked me to come the next day (Sunday) morning for an another round of BP check up..! I was thinking that it will be normal... 

But again there was a surprise... It was 140/108 that day... So the doctor decided to have a complete investigation which may probably require a full day's time.. We said we can do it the next day (that is today...!) itself..! 

But since he will not be available for the next three days, he asked us to come on or after Thursday...! I preferred to go there again on coming Friday night and stay there till Sunday or Monday (if necessary..!)

Because I don't want to take this thing lightly..!

Will be back late this evening...!

I was busy visiting the doctors since yesterday...! The results were fluctuating...! I have to come again the next week too,
I will be starting this afternoon and reach home late this evening.
I will write about my trip here at around 10 am tomorrow.
Till then bye. Take care

I may not be available this weekend...!

Hope your today started well...! The last working day of the week in most of the companies...! (But not for me...) 

I have come earlier to the office today...! The reason is that I am planning to go to Thiruvananthapuram this afternoon with my family. You know I had high BP about a week back...! Before and after that I am getting headache also very often...! 

So I have decided not to take this lightly and go for a check up in a good hospital...! Since Thiruvananthapuram is my wife's city and is having good medical facilities, I have decided to go there for a check up. As the travel time is 4 to 5 hours on the hills, I have start atleast after lunch so that I can reach there by around 8-9 pm today night.

I will return back either on Sunday evening or on Monday morning.. I don't know whether I will get chance to go to a browsing center to write my regular blog or not... If I don't get also I will try to write and post from my mobile device...

But you know the mobile device has got its own limitations...! It will be very cumbersome to type very long text...! 

But I am sure I will try my level best to post as regular as possible...! In the worst case please bear with me until I come back...!

Wish you a very happy and pleasant weekend...!

Reymonds' African Adventure..!

How was your day today? I have no guess about it... About mine, I have already wrote in post 'Something good in every day...!' (Hope you have read it...!). I guess you remember Charle and Reymond Coffey from Tullahoma, TN, USA (My host when I have visited there).

Recently they have visited Tanzania in Africa for a short vacation. I have asked for some of the interesting photographs they have taken there. I got them by email this morning.

I thought of sharing it with you here...!

Hope you enjoyed it...!

Something good in every day...!

Today is an another flat day in this week..! My mind is feeling somewhat sad for the past two days... I don't know why..! 

Today, when I was browsing through the internet, I have come across a fantastic proverb. (Proverb?! I think so...) "Every day may not be good, but there's something good in every day...!". Really a good positive thinking...! 

You know I have started writing my blog on a daily basis for no reason...! Because it gives me a sort of relief and belief that someone is listening to me....! But I realised that the truth is not that...! 

But in the recent days my inner mind is telling that someone is reading my blog everyday... (Though Charle Coffey and Mickie Ratliff from the US have wrote to me that they are visiting my blog every week or often, my instinct says that someone special is reading my blog everyday...!)

Sometimes our guesses prove to be true... But sometimes not....

Anyways .... something good in everyday !

After all it is a very small life everyone is blessed with!!

Yesterday was the start of a new era in the history of the educational institutions group I represent..!! We have started the classes for the new polytechnic college from yesterday..!! 

I have attended the inaugural function today and came back to my regular work around 11.45 am.. Eventhough we expected lot of admissions yesterday, only a few have turned up..! 

In the post-lunch session of the day, one of my friend in Singapore came online (but with a bad news). He got married to a Chennai girl some 2-3 years back. He said that they have submitted their divorce papers, which is very rare and uncommon in the country and culture like India..!! I got really shocked on knowing this...!

But my opinion on such kind of matters is, lack of understanding, patience, tolerance and ego...! In my Orkut profile message, I have wrote like this

"Memories will always be there. It takes dimensions but will never disappear. Always there will be only one type of memory, that is pleasant... Never there will be a sad memory... If you feel one like that try to see it from the shoes of the person you believe caused that bad memory... Don't forget anyone... After all it is a very small life everyone is blessed with.... I have all friends so no enemies.."

Hope everyone will agree with this...! Because after all it is a very small life everyone is blessed with...!

Sorry for the delay

As i have came home very late, i am not able to write my regular post today. Please wait till 10 am tomorrow.

Were you not in the office yesterday?

The title of this post was the question I have received from some of my friends yesterday through email. They also said they were not able to see me online in Google Talk! 

I don't know what happened exactly...! Because I have logged in to Google Talk as usual, but i dont know the reason why my status was shown as 'Not Available' in Google Talk...! 

Anyhow I normally use to be online whenever I am at my desk (in the id jvpandian) ..! So you can ping me whenever you want to chat with me...!

Then how about your yesterday..? Were you in the office...? I guess you were not!!

Self appreciation!

Not much to write today....! Today was very flat and boring except my calculation on a critical business deal proved to be very perfect...! It is a pat on the back for me and I appreciate myself for that...! You may think that I am taking it to my head.... No... it is not! 

I am a firm believer of self appreciation...! If at all we are not going to appreciate ourselves for our better acts, then how and what basis can we expect others to appreciate us?! 

If we are in doubt on whether we will do things right, the chances are more for it to go wrong....! For example, do the following test step by step...! But of course you should remember the next step after you did the step 1! :)

Step 1 : Close your eyes.... relax

Step 2 : Take a deep breath gently and release

Step 3 : Now tell your mind not to think of a monkey...

Step 4 : Say it again for 10 times...

Step 5 : Its all over... open your eyes..

OK Tell me now... what was running on your mind on and after step 4? I know the answer... you were thinking about the monkey only eventhough you said your mind not to think of the monkey...!

That is why it is always best to think positive and appreciate yourself ! 

Can I read what your mind is thinking now? ... its a magic .... Your mind is telling "This guy is not having anything to write today... That is why he is writing this...."

Its just for humour...!

Remebering my father...!

Hope you have read my "Not at my desk" (I can't link to it as it was updated as this post) post this morning ...! I knew it is going to be a busy start of the week at work.... But as per the lunar calendar, today is the thithi (annual post-death offerings) for my Dad....!

This is the 14th thithi I am offering after his death...! I and my mother went to Kuttralam this morning to perform the ritual..! We have started at 7 in the morning and reached home back at 11.00 am. I have called up my Chairman (He is in Neyveli today to leave his daughter in my Uncle's house for an internship in the industry there) and informed him that I will go to the office little late only today...!

I had my breakfast after that only and came to my office at around 11.40 am... Another thing happened in the morning was,  I could not start my bike ... It had never been like this before... I have called up the mechanic to fix it and borrowed my relative's bike to get to the office...

My brother said he will do it in Anaipatti (the famous Hanuman Temple near Madurai on the banks of river Vaigai)

Today was filled with busy admission activity for me... How was it for you? You can write to me about it....

Weekend in Kuttralam!!

Day before yesterday (the happy Saturday) evening my brother has come with his family to my house..!For the children it was again an enjoyable weekend..!! We (me and my brother) were talking about family and future plans..!

The next day morning though it was not pre-planned we decided to go to Kuttralam in the middle of our talks... (Eventhough I am residing just 30 kms away from that scenic tourist place, this is the first time I have took my family there for a picnic..!) 

We have traveled in my brother's car for about 40 minutes to reach Five falls (a part of Kuttralam), I was afraid my little boy will cry on seeing the water falls...! But to my surprise, he really enjoyed it by running and jumping on the waters with his cousin...!

We had our lunch in a hotel in Tenkasi...! But it had tasted bitterly bad...! I can't tolerate and asked the server "Do you really have your food here?" He, with a doubt and hesitation nodded his head to say "Yes"

Unfortunately photographic of that place is prohibited... So I am don't have any photos to upload here...!

We have drove back home at around 3.30 pm, an hour before my brother left for Madurai.

This is how my weekend went on fantastically...! Hope yours too..!!

My new Mail Id..! No change in the old one...!

I am getting lots of emails every day...! But though I am having email accounts in gmail, yahoo and Hotmail, the most active is the GMail only...! 

Also I am getting emails from friends, relatives and business on one single email ID. Initially I felt it convenient to check all mails in one place, but now it is getting too much and I don't wont miss any mails or leave anything unanswered..! 

So I have decided to sign up for a new email account and did it too. I am planning to give this mail id only to those special people...! So if you wish to get that email id you can write to me to get it...! 

If you are the one who is already having my old email id and do not wish to get my new id you can continue be in touch with me on the same old id!

Have a happy weekend ...!

Happy Saturday..! Thankyou Orkut..!!

Being a Friday (a day ahead of the weekend), I guess your yesterday was a very busy one...! But I also guess you are having a really relaxed weekend with family...!! Good...!

Yesterday I was also busy with lots of mixed activities and got back home a little late in the evening...!!

Though today was expected to be a busy day, it is not like that till now...! I am very relaxed and simply visiting pages of my interest on the internet..! Then only I have realised I havent visited my Orkut account for the past couple of days due to work pressure...! 

I have logged into my Orkut account which made me really happy ...! because I have got some special people visited my Orkut profile...! That is the power of Social Networking sites like Orkut...! 

Thankyou Orkut...!

Congrats Harish...!

Haah.... Its been an yet another hectic day...! I cant even write my daily blog today at my office...! I am back at home now and posting this from my home PC! I don't even have a guess about your day today...! How was it?

As the new academic year is heading ahead, there are lot of busy activities going on as part of my profession ...! I had handled an inspection team to one of our group educational institutions..! (I really loved the way it was handled by me...)

There was a funny thing happened in the afternoon... we have asked for a demo from one of the internet service provider... They were really struggling to configure the router at our end... They sought for my help... But I have just given them some tips instead of fully helping them out.. The reason is, I am of the opinion that if they are not even able to configure the router then how can they support us in case of future technical failures. (Hope as an administrator I have decided correctly...!)

I have came home for lunch very lately at 3.15 pm... Once I was back at office after lunch, I was busy dealing with an UPS supplier. That was the time when I have received a SMS from my friend Harish that there is a girl child born for them ....! I wished him the best by a reply message...!

It all went well today except the market went on red today also...! My shares lost more than 10% of its value.... But you know me... I didn't anything for loss but bought used the low price trend and bought some more today...! As the Union budget is on the first week of July, I predict the market will be volatile till then...!

Let us see....!

What should I say...?

Seems your day was a flat one with much less activities than those of the other in this week!! My day have started with a sad news!!

It is my habit to check my inbox when I wake up in my mobile phone for new emails! I have got an email from Karen Wentz of Knoxville informing that Carol LaRue (the sitting District Governor of the Rotary District 6780 we have visited in the US). She is such a majestic, brave lady I have met. I wish her a very speedy recovery!! 

Then the regular work started as usual! Actually I like a very challenging profession with lots of opportunity to learn every day! Not a stereotyped one! 

Even though it was on a uptrend in the morning hours, the market had a deep fall in the afternoon!! Though this correction is expected, there are confusions on predictions about which scrips to buy and leverage the low prices..! But I predict the downfall will continue tomorrow also...! I am planning to buy some more of the scrips I am holding already...!

Yesterday evening after I have wrote my regular post, I have got a call from Swarup (Swarup is the Director of the company I have worked for in Dubai). He was talking to me almost 10 minutes from Dubai! It seems my position in that company is still kept vacant. He asked about my idea of working for them again... ! 

The economic scenario is not so good in the UAE...! My expectations are a bit high than the offer...!

In this context, What should I say...?

I wish to forget this Tuesday...!

Hope you have read my previous post about today..! I have started early (even before breakfast) and didn't turn up for lunch on time!! I know I should have not done this but... I was very much upset and felt hurt of the happenings since last night..! But later I have calmed down and went home for lunch at around 0400 pm. 

Except that today was filled with lot of purchase activities rather than admissions and administrative activities... One vending machine supplier, a computer networking service provider, Water fountain installer are among those people I have met today!!

This afternoon my brother also spoke to me over phone which had lasted for about 20 minutes... He had shown his anxiety about the odds in the family matters.. He also said he had hit the lamp post and damaged rear lights of his car when he was trying to take reverse. 

Then the markets also didn't turn up positively as expected... So it is a day full of bad stuff.. 

Let it not repeat...! 

Let people understand...!

Yesterday after office hours when I have returned home, I have seen my Mom is back from Dindigul!! Then I have returned the calls of two of me long time friends!! One is Pandi from Ayyampalayam (now working in Dindigul), he is my friend right from my childhood. He was just enquiring about when I have returned from the US and how was my trip. The other one is Harish from Neyveli (presently working in Chennai), my long time friend. He was also enquiring about my US trip. 

The fun is I have sent him an email once I have come back, but it seems he didn't checked his mail for a while!! It was somewhat relaxing and a sort of consoling to me talking to my friends!! 

That is all about my yesterday evening!!

How was the day started and how is it going for you? I wish it to be a good one!! 

But It was not a good start for me today! I am not getting a sound sleep for the past one week ! I was very tired and I have got up little late today! The first thing I have witnessed is an ongoing quarrel between my Mom and my wife about who is the reason for my hypertension! I was terribly upset and asked both of them to keep quite! But none of them was listening to me! I got irritated and moved from that place with a hard hard heart!

You know I love people and relationships... but I really hate those who spoils that...! Enough is enough... Whatever I lost in my young age is too much... I hate any more loses... 

Let people understand...!

I am the same me... always!!!

Did you started your week well after the weekend? Trust you did!! 

For me its been a very regular one... Hope you remember some of the stocks I have purchased were tumbling last week! With an expectation that the market will move positively today I have started my week, but ... disappointing...! Its negative run continues today too!! 

I have decided to wait until it bounces back! OK its all about money matters... let us forget about it... Let me not chase money and always run behind it... (But I am clear money is an instrument to live the life as we like... So I am very focused on my ambitions and target!). So let us speak something about family and people today!!

I am a 'Leave it!' kind of person who usually forgives and forget the odds people did for me! Because I love people! I love relatives! I love friends! My heart is a kind of oneway traffic! The only difference is I will let people in but not out!! Most people took this as an advantage! 

But I know some are still remembering me! 

I am the same me... always!!!

Busy weekend !

Well ... I am back !!! You would have got disappointed on seeing my delay notification ! I am very sorry about that!!

But I hope you have read my previous post Helicopter exclusive!

Then how was your weekend...? Hope it was wonderful for you!! For me it was a very busy weekend (Nothing but because of lots of housekeeping works!!) On Saturday evening after the office hours, myself and my son went out for a little shopping!

He wanted to eat some ice cream and we visited the Ice cream parlour in the corner of the street! He himself ordered for an ice cream and once he got it he started eating beautifully. It was really enjoyable for me to watch him eating the Ice cream!!

Then the next day we have started our day by traveling to Sankarankoil to by meat. After breakfast I have left my son in my relative's house as there are little children in their house for my son to play with. After that till the evening there were lot of house keeping activities kept me fully busy and was not able to spend some time in my home computer to write my regular blog!

In the evening my father-in-law came to my house regarding the marriage proposal for his younger daughter. We were discussing about various matters which went on till 9 pm in the night!

And .... that was the end of the weekend!!

The Helicopter Exclusive !!

Hope you are bit relaxed today than the previous days?! It was neither busy nor a slow day today for me! But I have handled more of terribly irritating cases today! But its all part of the game! 

Yesterday after finishing my blog post, I have returned home. Then only I have realised I have forgot to go to the hospital to check my BP level. I have been there. My doctor friend checked, but the result was 160/110 again! So he prescribed a medicine (a tiny tablet) to be taken at the bed time every night for 7 days. 

He believes it can be a sort of hypertension! Let me keep myself cool to get off the hypertension!

In the many photos I have taken in my US trip, I have planned to put some of them here for you. 

I have got a chance to travel on a tourist helicopter over the Smoky Mountains, when I have stayed in Sevierville! That to I was given the opportunity sit in the front row with the pilot and wore the headset and mic to communicate with the pilot near me! FYI the above photograph was taken by me for me!

It was a very great experience!!

Is that you...? I hope you are...!!

How was the day for you today...? My instinct says your day was a very busy one today... Was it?

For me its been a very very busy day ... I have started my day by attending a Valaikappu function and then moved on to work...

After a heavy business day today, I feel exhausted and about to leave the office now (after finishing this post!). When I have opened my blog's Dashboard, there was a surprise... yes I have got someone commented on my post . . . It is Mickie from US !!

She wrote she is reading my blog every couple of days and hence I am not writing for no reason!! I am really happy that my best friend is reading my blog....!

But my inner mind is still searching / waiting for someone special who have cared for me to read and comment on my blog or write to me!

Is that you....? I hope you are...!!

Blood Presssure on the Rise!!

Then ... How was your day today? Hope it had went on well!!! 

For me it was a yet another busy Wednesday! We got lot of people coming in for admissions today! I have met my relative's (who is residing outside the country) father-in-law also came here with his friend (Whose son sought an admission here). We had a nice time talking to each other for a while!

After the lunch, I have went out to meet one of my Doctor friend! We were discussing about my USA trip as a GSE Team member and about the always unsupportive and subterfuge team leader. The team leader is continuing to damage all the team members' names with subterfuge informations. I don't know what fun he is having in this. All the team members are planning to complain about him to the concerned authorities.

In the middle of our talk, we have diverted talking about blood pressure. I just wanted to test my blood pressure. The doctor friend was telling that my BP levels should be normal. But to our surprise my blood pressure was 160/110 ! He was shocked but said that I should test it at least another 5-6 times before come to any conclusion!

I am always trying to keep myself cool... but I don't know what is causing the trouble!!!

Type in Tamil !!

Yesterday I was watching a programme (Super Singer) in Vijay TV!! In the commercials they have shown a beautiful tamil verse in an advertisement for their to be telecasted new serial !

Though I am a very good (?!) writer (am i not?) of beautiful, it is almost a decade since I have stopped writing verses in Tamil. But very recently only I have thought digitizing my old poems and started doing it!

It was today when I have posted the poem I have liked in Vijay TV in my blog for my tamil poems only I thought of sharing with you about a fantastic tool / web service I use to type my tamil text. It is nothing but quillpad !

You can use phonatic style keyboard to type the text. For example, if you want to type 'என்னப்பா எப்படி இருக்கே' in tamil, you should type 'ennappa eppadi irukke'.

Enjoy writing in Tamil! Not only Tamil but in more Indian languages!!

The Unethical Trading

It was a very slow day for me today! About 7 months back we have been to a consumer electronic shop in Madurai to buy a particular model mixer grinder! This shop is a branch of a multi branched group in South India.

The sales executives recommended us to buy a new brand of mixer grinder! Though we were very firm in our stand they have somehow convinced us to buy that particular brand! It has a 5 year warranty!

but the real sorrow started from the next month itself!! It was not properly grinding, heated up unusually heavily. At one point we have decided it is not wise to use the mixer grinder and wanted to change it. 

We approached the shop last Friday (When we were in Madurai on our way to Dindigul and Palani). When we asked for a replacement for the mixer grinder the shop people shown a different face!! They said they can not replace it with a new on but can service it to a good condition. They sought time till today for the brand's service people to have a look at it.

I have called them up to check about the matter, but they told they can not even service it for free as it looks like a service attempted by a person not authorised by the company. But I have never serviced it with somebody else. They have also said that the warranty does not cover certain parts of the product (Of course they do not cover those parts which will normally malfunction under warranty!!). 

This is one kind of unethical trading and the other example also happened to me today! There was a water leak from the roof of the down compartment of my refrigerator. I have called up the company's customer care and registered the complaint.

The service engineer who came to attend the complaint said, there is a minimum inspection fee of Rs 290 even if there is no serious problem in the machine!!

I didn't get shocked!! Seems I am used to this kind of unethical trading practices!!!

BLESS YOU!

Hope it is a good day for you! Today my day started slowly. Being a Tuesday, I hope there will be lesser crowd than any other days. 

In India, when someone sneezes, the friends or relatives nearby to them use to say 'hundred','two hundred' and so on! (hundred, two hundred means 'live for hundred / two hundred years') I have found a similar custom followed by the people of USA when I have travelled there! They use to say 'Bless You!'.

It is a strange co-incidence! It reminds people around the world think alike!!

Should I accept the job offer in Japan !!

Hope your weekend was filled with joy! 

For me the weekend was not much a bore!! I didn't allowed anything to eat my time yesterday. I did my hair cut and I have spent my whole day with my family. I haven't even attended the Pushpanjali offered at the Perumal Temple by my relative!!

It is always beautiful to me to start my work on a busy Monday morning after a lazy weekend!! I was very busy since the morning!! But thank God!! I have sold some of shares I bought lost week before it took a nose dive today!! But some of my other stocks were bearish :( But you know me!! I will not lose money by selling them on a negative price!! Let me wait until it become profitable!!

It is really surprising how I have forgotten to write about the job offer I got from an Indian company two weeks back!! It is a senior managerial position! I have to take care of their entire Japanese country operations and business development. But still I haven't decided upon it as there are lot of factors involved in taking a decision on it! There is 50:50 chance of me accepting or declining the offer!! 

Probably I will decide on it within another week!

The two long days!!

It's been two long days since I have posted here! As you know I have been to my uncle's new building warming ceremony on 04th of this month. It has been a great experience to me as I have got an another chance to meet my relatives!

On 3rd evening itself we have started from our house and travelled to Madurai. My brother with his family came to the bus station to receive us in his brand new Maruti Alto car. He had taken delivery of the car at around 6 pm on that day and came there to pick up us.

The next day morning we have started at around 6.30 am and I have all the way drove the car to Dindigul! Around 8 am we were there. We have spent our time for another 2 hours there. Me and my wife were talking to all our relatives (with my first maternal uncle, aunt, my maternal aunts and others).

I have took a picture with my third maternal uncle with his newly constructed building in the backdrop!

Then we have started from there to Palani, the nearby pilgrimage city. We travelled to the top of the mountain on a winch train. It reminded me the incline railway I have travelled in Chattanooga, TN, USA. 

In the evening we have travelled back to Madurai and reached my brother's home at around 7.30 pm. We were almost exhausted after the tiresome journey and rested well in the night.

 The next day myself and my family visited the famous Meenakshi Amman temple for a worship. We have waited on the queue for an hour and a half to worship the Goddess. It was sweating heavily due to the humid condition. 

In the evening we have travelled back to Puliangudi and reached home around 0930 pm in the night.

Hope your days also went on well! 

Going on leave!!

It is a pleasant day so far today... Hope your yesterday also went on well! I hope you remember about my maternal uncle's new building warming ceremony . I am going to attend the function tomorrow.

As my brother is also here on vacation, he wants us to join them for a small trip to the nearby temples (Possibily to Kodaikanal also for a days trip!). 

So I may not be available online or able to post on my blog until Saturday! So plesae bear with me until I come back with lots to post here!

What am I going to be?

It is again a simple day today without much of significance. So I have decided to share about my career plans. From my childhood (even before my teenage itself) business have been my best interest than to work for someone else. I did tiny to small to medium sized businesses then there all through my years till date. (I have did selling of mango slices on street sides to customized corporate printing supplies all through my entire state of Tamilnadu)

I love doing business and watching good business styles, ethics, methods and so on about business of even others too. I have lots of business ideas particularly in the Software development and Education industries (mostly a mix of the both). When it comes to software development, I don't want to do just custom software development for other businesses. But my plans are to develop software products to support them!!

I would like to see myself owning a multi national company in the next 5 to 7 years. I can visualize I am there . . . I can understand you have a question here, what about the business I owned before. I have closed it off about a decade back for some personal reasons... 

As a sample of my plans soon you will read my post about a small software product now I am working on ... 

Wish me the best good hearts!!

I was upset !

Yesterday was a very busy day. There were lot of people I have met. In the evening the BMW marketing team brought a brand new BMW 5 series car for demo to my workplace. I am not sure whether you know that I am crazy about cars.

I have took the vehicle for a test drive and drove to a maximum speed of 130 kms per hour. It was a fantabulous experience!!

I have been in the office till 0830 pm and left to home after that only. Until this point everything went on well. But after that the happenings made me feel upset. I was not alright till this morning!

I have adjusted myself to the regular life this morning... and it is yet another day of good start!!!

Sunday is not going to be a free day anymore !!

So far I am keeping Sunday as a reserved day to be spent with my family, particularly with my son. But it seems it is not going to be a free day anymore. In my context a free day means sitting at home, spending time with my son by playing with him and having a delicious lunch in the afternoon.

It happened to be the same so far. But now, as my mother use to go to my brother's house and her brother's house often, we (me, my wife and my son) are going to the vegetable market in the fore noon for an hour and a half.

I normally prefer to go to the nearby town to by Chicken or Fish. Normally it takes another hour and a half (including travel).

On some Sundays my boss used to call me for a discussion at my workplace too!

This is what happening to my recent Sundays and so yesterday too!

So will it be a free day any more?
