Not in state ...!


I am finding it very difficult to allocate time to write my regular blog...! As a regular reader of my blog (I dont know whether you are still regular as I am not in writing...), you knew that I have, for a while, decided to write once in a week instead of every day...!
To say about this week it is too busy all throught the week...! But I didnt missed some 'good clicks' of / with my son...!
Then surprised to see today's topic...! It is nothing but I am going out of Tamilnadu this weekend to take part in a ritual ... So I will be back on Tuesday the 04th of August 2009.
Till then bye and take care...! Dont forget to tell me about your weekend once I am back...!

Browse on your mobile...!

All of you knew that I have wrote a small piece of software to count number of days between two dates... For those who are not aware of it, you can find the same available on the right pane of my blog with the title Days Counter Widget...!
I have hosted a copy of the same in my website also...! You can access it by navigating your browser to http://www.dreamandget.com/mobile/datecounter/ . The real fun about this software is, it is compatible with your mobile device also...!
You can access the same URL mentioned above through your mobile device too...! It is a pre-release and exclusively for the use of my readers... I am planning to give away this software to be included in anyone's blog at free of cost... Soon I will post the link for that also here...! 
Have fun...!

It is hard to stay away from children...!

It is more than a week since I have posted here... ! There are reasons for the dalay and eventually I have decided to post here atleast twice a week instead of posting daily...! The reason is, as it is admission season here, we are very busy working on it...! It gets late everyday to come back home and could not find enough time to post on my blog...! 
You know I love writing on my blog...! So I dont want to do it for namesake..! Today I have got bit time and decided to write here...! 
First I thank Mickie for her comments on my blogs ! Then the entire week went on monotonously...!
But on 18th of this month, when we were just relaxedly sitting at the backyard of our home, my son came with a small piece of vessel which is used by my wife for cooking ...! I though he had took it to play... But he hold it on his hands and pretended to holding a microphone and start singing...! 
It was joyful... he kept singing lots of Tamil film song and I thought of sharing it with you here...! I dont know whether his pronounciation is understandable to you ...! But I hope you enjoyed it...!

Change of job..? Announce the world...!

Dear reader(s),
You might be wondering why I have started this post like a letter...! It is just to make you feel synonymous in style about the matter this post talks about...!
Yesterday I have wrote about back after vacation... The other thing I just wanted to share with you is about letting people know about your job change... There are 4 category of people.
1. Those who use to announce the world that they are about to change their job well in advance...
2. Those who use to announce at the neck of the time..
3. Those who use to announce once they join their new job...
4. Finally... those who never use to announce about things...
It is always better not to fall in the 4th category... My pick in the above categories is category 1. In the worst atleast one should fall in the category 2...
In which do you fall...? Write to me...

Back after vacation...? Welcome back...!

Hope you know that I havent wrote regularly last week and promised to write daily in my yesterday's post...!
Right from the day I have returned from the US, I was thinking of writing about this post... But it has got its time now only...!
Going on vacation is a very nice thing as we get relaxed for sometime and keep ourselves away from the work pressure...! But when we are back after vacation, for most of us it will not be really a 'Welcome back' as we should finish up all the piled up works in our absence...!
But there is an another online route to reduce the burden (what people like me use...). But vacation will not be a vacation then.... Anyhow for those who are back from vacation and under tremendous work pressure, I have wrote a widget for blogger (a small piece of software) for you to get relaxed...
You can see it in the right side bar of my blog with the title Days counter widget ...! You can enter two dates in the text fields and find out the number of days in between...
Have fun and enjoy...!

Its been long since I have wrote...!

Its been almost a week since I have wrote here...! There were several reasons for the delay...! The reason is, I was kept busy by lots of work due to start of new academic year... I have started early in the morning and finished very late in the evenings...
Also I was not available last weekend too...! As this is the buying season here (Aadi Sale), normally people tend to make their festival purchases in this month... (Not everyone but most of the people)
There was a new textile shop (Pothys)  opened recently in Madurai... We have decided to finish our Diwali purchase there and planned to go to Madurai by train... Since it is the tourism season in Kutralam, the train was jam packed and we were among those fortunate ones to get into it and find a seat after several kilometres of journey...
It is comfort travelling by train than the bus travel on the bumpy roads on some places... The another reason we have chosen to travel by train is, as of present conditions it is not good for my wife to travel such a distance on bumpy roads...
As I have traveled across the globe, I can say buying clothes in India is much more cheaper than in any other countries I have traveled ever...! 
I am not able guess you last week was... Hope it was fantastic... You can hereafter expect my regularly everyday...!

Its a holiday, but working ...!

Today is a local holiday for the Tirunelveli District due to Kumbhabisekam of Sri Rajagopalaswamy Temple in Palayamkottai ...! Our intitutions also not working today except the administrative office...! So I have started as usual today to office...!
But When I was approaching the main road from my street, there was a big buffalo herd marching on the road which made me a couple of minutes delay to cross it...! To match up the time delay I had to be little fast today...!
But once I have reached my office, I have found people started their day very relaxed as they are working on a holiday... The local network was not on... Not much people turned up on time...! But I have let them do it ...! 
Its my way of handling people ... If they wanted to work relaxed they have that freedom to that... But end of the day there should not any lag in the work to be completed...! Thats all...!

Why didn't you write me...?

Hope you have read my previous post 'Why don't I change my job...?
Till now my today was so beautiful with lots of activities which kept me very very busy...! Even the climate is turning good...! I did not have much chance to spend more time on the internet today...! Then... how about your day today...? Seems you were very busy ...?! 
Actually this post was supposed to be posted yesterday...! But I have forgot about it when I was writing my regular post yesterday...!
Once I have come back from the US, I have become very busy with my work and was not able to be in touch with my US contacts very frequently...! Though I have sent mail to all of them every now and then...! But one mail was kept on bouncing for the reason 'No such account'. 
It is Mr YashPaul Sehgal's ID...! Surprisingly, I have got a phone call from him day before yesterday...! He started shouting at me for not sending mails to him...! He is a very nice, brave gentleman who prepared and hosted an Indian dinner for us when we where staying in Sevierville...!
He kept on insisting to let him know if anything we need to be done in the US, he will always there to help us...! But what am I going to expect except his love and affection towards us for a lifetime...?
Because ... I love people...!

Why dont I change my job..?

Hope you are out of your desk today...! It's just a guess..! 
I hope you read my post I have decided to refuse yesterday...! I have also wrote that I will write here why I am looking for a job change. 
It's about 8 years I have been working for this institution... Stood besides the good and bad times... Worked hard for the growth of the institutions...! When I have been asked to join the institution 8 years back, I have been told (promised) that I will be taken care well by the institution but should wait till the institution grows to a good level...!
Now the institution grown up manifold...! But I feel have not yet been taken care ...! I feel I am under paid... The promoters might be waiting for a still better time...! But as I am 32, I don't want to lose any good offers that will prosper my family's future..! 
I know very well about my strengths and weaknesses...! I have never overestimated my ability and skills ..! 
Another reason why I am looking for a job change is for my kid's education...! As he is nearing his school going age, there are not better schools in this vicinity since Puliangudi is a small town...! You know my son means a lot to me...! 
So these are the reasons why I am looking for a job change...! If you have good reference you are most welcome to write to me about it...!

I have decided to refuse...!

Being a Tuesday, my today is very flat going... But yours seems to be busy except in the start of the hour..?! 
Hope you read my post 'Should I accept the job offer in Japan...?' and remember I have got a job offer to work in Japan...! Also you knew that I have kept the decision pending...! 
After carefully analyzing lots of factors related to the 'why should I' and 'Why should not I' of the offer, today I have decided not to accept the particular job offer ...!
But wait... that's not the end of the story... This decision is applicable to this particular offer only and doesn't mean that I have totally decided against working in Japan...!!
I am seriously looking for a good offer and I am sure I will get a better one... If I get it from Japan, I will be more happier. If it is from any other country or any other place within India, that would be the  decision by the God and I will review it and decide accordingly...! 
You might be wondering why I am looking for a job change...! I will write to you about that 'why' very soon...!
By the way have you decided to write to me...?!

The Big B Day....!

Hope you have read my previous post 'Should I write to you...?'. This is my third post today...!
Today is the day waited for about a fortnight by most of the investors with the hope that this day will bring more fortunes to them on the scrips they have invested...! 
Yes... today is the Big B Day... the Big Budget Day...! The Finance Minister of India submitted the 2009-10 Budget today...! But things worked on the negative side... The so called Big B become Big B(ad) day for the investors...!
 Stocks did a nose dive... the sensex and nifty shed hundreds of points... Though I am also on the losing side, not all of my stocks lost its profit... The reason is I did not buy them targeting the budget... So half of them lost on a short day and the remaining were already on a earning spree...
So I had a balance between the both extremes and once market bounce back I will recover my loses and continue to be a profitful...! Because I am a very disciplined investor (though I am tiny...) and not greedy...! 
In total India Inc., got disappointed today...! 
Except the market trends, my today was filled with lots and lots of mixed activities...! We have got a inspection team visiting our institution, as lots deadlines nearing I was discussing with the heads of concerned departments and so on my day went busy...!
How about yours today...? Was it busy...flat or what? Write to me, if you wish...!

Should I write to you...?

You know my blog is my favourite place where I release my pressure... I don't know to whom I am writing too... I don't know those special ones are reading my blog... but still its a kind of relief for me whenever I write here....
Its my hope there is someone special is reading my blog everyday... ! I thought of even writing to them, but I am not sure whether they are in a position to receive / respond to my emails...! It is always better not to disturb people...! 
Blogging, Social networking are tools which keeps people in touch...! It let to know the happening of each others' lives...! If you are the one to whom I have lost contact for years together, this is the right time you can write to me ... !

Nothing to worry..! I am alright..!

I have returned from Trivandrum by 9.30 pm yesterday night. Its a sort of relief after having a check up (I dont think its a full checkup ... ) there...! The results where normal for whatever the doctor prescribed a test of the blood and urine.. 
The doctors' opinion about the HBP is due to anxiety and might have been a temporary one. But anyhow they have prescribed some medicine to me and check my BP once in a while for the next few weeks at least...! 
May be the doctors are right...! So far I have lived for others (My friends and relatives...) I have cared, worried, worked, earned, lost... for others only most of the times... I never thought about me... But still I feel good to do things for my beloved ones.... at the same time I understand I should take care of me too...
Then I didn't had much time to spare for any leisure activities last weekend as we have spent almost the whole Saturday in the hospital ... Yesterday it was rainy and could not go anywhere except one small purchase for my son... As the travel back home ate 5 hours, not much time left for fun and leisure... But my people are happy that I am safe....
Hope you too...!!

Running the time race...!

Oh God...! What a day today...! Started busy and going busier and busiest...! There are another 10 minutes left before I have to start to Trivandrum..! 
Most of my morning was ate by the website development company people today and finally they have completed the first phase of development of our website ...! (But still there are miles to go...) I have given all the inputs to them today spending about two and a half hours...! Hope it will be one of the best websites among our peers once it is fully developed...!
I may probably have a lot to write about my weekend, the treatment I am about to take and so on. (Who knows ... there may be some important information too....) So keep watching... 
Enjoy your weekend...!

I will not be available...this weekend too...!

Days are passing by...! I should start writing this post by thanking Mickie Ratliff for her comment (Second time..) on my blog...! It is not only a comment...! As she is a pharmacist, those are all valuable inputs on the step to be taken to get rid of my HBP...! 
Being the regular reader of my blog, you knew I have an appointment with the doctor this weekend for a complete check up...! So I am planning to leave to Trivandrum  tomorrow afternoon...! I will be back on Sunday evening or Monday morning...!
But still I can write an another post tomorrow morning before I leave...! Also I will try to be in touch by post from my mobile device...!
What else today...! For me there was a major database restoration work have been carried out successfully ...! (Our people were struggling with it for the past one week...!)
Have a happy weekend...! Spend your good time with your family and friends...!
Bye .. Take care...!

Turns and twists in the evening...!

Hope you have read my post 'I have lost my temper...!' Though that guy did all the damages, I have responsibly done the needful to him once he left that place...! After that I was also busy doing my remaining work of the day and forget about him...!
In the evening (just before start writing this post) he came back and sought an appointment with me...! I have warmly welcomed him...! Asked him to sit down and relax...! 
But he was very hesitant to sit and said that he will cry if he sit before me...! I have consoled him and forced him to sit and relax...! I have ordered for a cool drink for him...! He asked sorry for his behaviour and whatever happened couple of hours ago...! 
He added that he came to know the favours I have done for him despite of his odd behaviour and sorry again and again... I told him that he is about at the age of my father and I have forgot whatever happened...! 
I was talking to him for a while about some other common matters and consoled him before he left my place...!
Its all part of the game, if we Leave it!

I have lost my temper...!

I thought of writing about so many things today... But things have happened on the flip side of my expectations...! 
I have started my day with a very fantastic mood...! The climate was so chill outside this morning when I have started for work...! I have even tested 95 kmph (kilometre per hour) in my bike...! I knew I am driving crazy... 
You know I have stopped riding on my bike like a racer at least 7-8 years back itself... But today I was really felt light and did the deadly drive...! In all that speed I have noticed another biker before me moving diagonally from left to right without any signals...! 
Thank God...! I have managed to slow down without any skidding or bump as I was having good control over my bike that time...! I have calm down myself and lost my self confidence to move fast again...! But any how it was a thrilling journey which covered about 3 kms in less than 3 minutes...! 
But..that's not the story today...!
A person approached me in our college this afternoon relating to a business matter... Being the executive director, I was trying to explain him about that matter. But, he didn't want to listen my explanation on a particular issue... He started shouting loudly.... I have tried make him understand the situation, but unsuccessful... 
Suddenly the shout became quarrel and at the peak he used some bad words... On hearing that, I have lost my temper... I was almost on a fighting mood... I should have not done it... But I don't know why I have lost my temper... I have never been like this before... People knows me as a very calm, tactic personality only... 
Is there any connectivity between the HBP and the reason for me losing my temper..? Please let me know if you are a pharmacist, doctor or a physician...
