Its raining and it is beautiful..!!

I was very busy the entire day yesterday and could not write my regular post here..!

Today the day has started very pleasantly...! It was an awesome experience to ride on the motor cycle as the cool breeze blowing to make the mind fresh!!

As I have wrote earlier, my son is suffering cold. So I have decided to take him to the hospital...! So I have started little past noon and drove to my son's school to pick him up on the way to Rajapalayam...!

On our way back, it was heavily raining and I found it difficult to drive on a rainy day...! Because the road was foggy and not able to get a clear vision on that foggy atmosphere..!

As it is a more traveled road, I have somehow managed to reach home safely...!

Now it is about 10.00 pm in the night, just waiting for one of my friend to join me for chat on my career plans...!

That's all today...! See you tomorrow..!

First exam to attend...!

Again it is a very short Tuesday today..! Very busy till I left my office...!

Once I reached home I thought of going out with my son... ! Actually he got cold for the past couple of days...! Though I used to suggest immediate medication or a doctor's consultation, his mother normally used prepare herbal medication by boiling Tulsi leaves, Mint leaves and Palm Sugar...!

I didnt had much trust on such home made medications, but as the results were good, I am not apposing them these days...!

So I have took him to shops to buy Tulsi and bananas. He also bought a Milkybar chocolate (one of his favourites... the other one is bourbon biscuits)

I used to get him his favourite chocolate if he does something new or special...! Tomorrow he will be attending his first school test...! Should be exciting for him...! My best wishes will always be there for him...!

I had my dinner earlier today as I was feeling very tired... I am about to go to bed now...!

Rushing to the office this morning...!

Hope you have spent your weekend good... For me things didn't go as I have planned.. Previously I have planned to go to our family temple near Rajapalayam. But as I could not get a vehicle, I have dropped the idea of going there....

Then you knew I have wrote I was planning to go to Tirunelveli. As the person I have planned to meet was unavailable, I didn't go there too...! So I have simply settled with a good lunch only yesterday...!

Then the week started with a rush this morning...! When I was about to have my breakfast, my boss called me on my mobile and told he will be leaving to Madurai for an official trip and wanted to have supporting docs urgently!!

I have decided not to take my breakfast .! I have picked up my son and dropped him in his school and rushed to my office...! After making every document he needed ready, I had my breakfast at the college canteen little lately today...

Then the good news of today is, one of the long held scrips of mine soared to new heights (now it is up 20% than the previous day!!)... Hope it will move further to touch new heights tomorrow.... As I am having handful the stocks of the scrip, probably I may sell it tomorrow if everything goes as excepted...!

See you tomorrow...!

Contradict to my yesterday's post...!

This is my second post today... Hope you have read my earlier post (It is 150 now and still growing..!) also.

Yesterday I have wrote that the week has come to an end without much interesting stories to share...! It was written about 3 pm yesterday..! But I have got a call from my Mom that my second maternal uncle has come to my home...!

I thought it would be appropriate for me to go home earlier so that I can meet him..! He was there to invite all of us for the betrothal function of his third daughter on 1st of November...!

Happy to attend...! Yet another opportunity for all for all of our relatives to get together...! As you know me, I love to be with people...! Looking forward to that day!! There will be atleast two more such days before end of this year...!

One on November 27 - the same girl's wedding and one another on December 11 - Balaji's Wedding...!

Tomorrow I may probably travel to Tirunelveli in the afternoon...!

Meet you again on Monday...!

It is 150 now and still growing!!

This is my 150th post on my blog...! One will tend to write more when he get the feeling that someone is reading...! I am a happy writer here, because I have atleast one good special regular reader ...!

Though I love to be member of social networking websites, I am not very actively and regularly viewing the profiles of every friend.. But I use to view only a few profiles in Orkut very regularly as their way of thinking matches my interests..! Say it be their title message or images or videos, its all matches my interests ...!

So I would take this opportunity to thank them...

Then about my yesterday and today, I will update you in the afternoon!!

Another end of the week!!

As expected the week has come to an end without much interesting stories to share here...! Since this morning we are busy attending to the National Conference conducted by the department of management studies at our campus..

I didn't even gone home for lunch today... I have been invited by the department people to take part in the valedictory function and to distribute prizes and certificate to best performers of the event...!

Happy to leave for that in another 15-20 minutes...!

Tomorrow is a working day for us..! So there will be an another post dated tomorrow..! My LinkedIn network has grown to 31 as against any other social networks where I am a member...!

If you have not yet joined my professional network at LinkedIn, you are most welcome to join...!

See you tomorrow...!

All those happening in my life... Am I special...?

I have been a warrior since my birth... fighting against almost all kind of odds should or should not come across in his life....

I have met lots of ups, downs, frustrations, showering affection, successes, defeats and those not explained in words here... There were times I thought God is ruthless on me...

But later I have started taken it as I am special... that is why I am given all kind of feelings to live with...!

This week is going very tightly scheduled... Today I have returned from office little late... Even this afternoon I could not go to my son's school to pick him up..! Even tomorrow will also be very busy I think...

Will write more tomorrow...!

Wondering how it works...!

Its been 14 good years since I have started using computers...! I still remember the first computer I have owned had only 8 mb of RAM and 640 mb of hard disk only. But I was successfully using it for resource consuming graphics designing works!!

Those days the highest external memory I have ever used was a ZIP Drive with a 100 mb cassette type floppy...! But within a little more of a decade technology improved in lightning speed...!

The recent purchase I have made was a 1 tb hard disk that too at half of the cost I have spent to buy a 4 GB hard disk a decade ago...!

Not only that, things and people are changing on a fast pace..!

Note : This post means I dont have any remarkable incidents happened in my life for the past two days to write here. So there is a old story... :) Bear with me...! :D

Prasanna trying Silambam!!

This is my second post today...! Hope you have read the previous one already!! The day after Diwali, when we were spending time at the backyard of my house, I have noticed my son picking up a stick and doing something with it...!

I have started watching him since then...! Then only I could understand that he was trying Silambam (one of the martial arts practiced in my part of the world for centuries together)...!

It was a great surprise to me...! Because he never get a chance to learn it from a master except couple of the steps demonstrated by me that too just to entertain him couple of months back..!

I thought it would be worth taking a video of it and sharing with you...! It is all hidden talent inside every individual but should be given right opportunity to burst out...!

Thanks to those who have LinkedIn..!!

Its my pleasure to see some special people visiting my LinkedIn profile...! I should really thank them for having visited my profile at LinkedIn...!

Keep visiting...!

Suprising Diwali...!!

I remember I have promised to write one more post on last Friday before leaving for Diwali holidays..! As planned I have attended the office on Friday... but being a holiday, the network was put down at our campus and i could not keep up my promise on that day..!

As I have reached home only in the afternoon on Friday, I have rushed for shopping for the next big day!! Once all the purchase was over, it was almost 7 pm in the night..! As I have planned to wake up about 3 am the next morning, I decided to go to bed early than writing my post on that day...!

We have completed the Deepavali Pooja at around 5.30 am on Saturday morning...! After that I have started calling my friends to wish them a happy Diwali...!

But the real surprise was, the call I got from my first maternal uncle on my mother's mobile...! After talking to my mother, my aunt wanted to wish me followed by my uncle..!!

Its all after a very long break...! I remember those days when telephone was not a regular medium of communication when people have exchanged greeting cards to wish the kith and kin of their relatives and friends!!!

After that we have took photographs in the Diwali attire..! I knew my posts were very dry only with text and without photos or videos...! That is why I have posted a few here...!

Will post here tomorrow

3 good days have gone with lots of sleep and with no useful activities. But still there are lots of happy news to share. So please wait till tomorrow until i post them all here.

Wish yuo and your family a vehy happy Diwali...!!

It is festival fever across the country!! The most benefited are the consumers...! Products are on sale...!

As you said this is the last day of the week for us..! We will not be working tomorrow, Saturday and Sunday (Officially only :( )...!

Anyhow I will be attending office tomorrow and will be there till noon..! It is my pleasure to wish you all a very very happy and prosperous Diwali..!

As I will be working tomorrow my post dated tomorrow will also be there..!

If you are a non resident Indian, please share your festival experience in the country you are living...!

See you tomorrow..!

Should I start a business..?

Its boring as there are not much interesting stories to write here today..! The day went on without any interesting stories..!

We will not be working on coming Friday, Saturday and Sunday as the Festival of Lights - Diwali falls on Saturday..! The business is as usual..!

For the past couple of weeks my mind is insisting me to start a business rather than to search for a right job change...! Though my first preference goes to running my own business, due to some financial and other limitations I have postponed the idea previously...!

But my mind now restlessly thinks about running a business!! Though it is risky to start a third party funded start up, the trust and confidence I have in my ability and skills drives me further in taking a decision in favour of running my own business!!

But still I am not rushing me up in deciding on that....! Let us see what is going to happen...!

The head hunting has started..!!

It is good news for techies waiting on the benches and for those looking for a career in IT in India...! The head has started as it is reported in siliconindia and other reliable sources...!

Being Tuesday, as you guessed a larger pie of my day was eaten by the weekly meeting...! I can say crisply its been a whole problem solving day today ...! Lots of grievance redressal applications been given solution today...!

I have come back from office earlier today. But found my son being adamant in doing his homework...! Still struggling to convince him to do his homework himself... Though he is a very brilliant boy, sometimes he will not listen to anybody ...!

Yesterday I have got calls from two of my old friends (they are twin brothers)...! Its been surprising to me...!

There are lots of business ideas in my mind.. But still looking for an apt time for them to get shaped and implemented for a successful business...! My mind says that I should keep myself patient and hit the market the right time...!

Let us see...!

Change is not inevitable...!

Hope your week started good...! How was the weekend ...! Guess it was fine.

My weekend also went pretty good...! You knew that last Saturday most of our relatives gathered at Rameswaram for the post-life ritual of my grandma...! My mother was also present there..!

When she was returning back, my brother picked her up she stayed at his house that day. Then all of them have started to my home yesterday and visited couple of temples on the way...!

They have reached my home in the evening at around 5. Since my brother's son is to attend school today, they have returned to their place yesterday itself...! Their visit made my son excited and was playing with them till they leave...!

You know that I love to be with people...! I can say that it is my strength and weakness too...! There are people who change with time and wont remain the same over the period of time...! For them all change is inevitable...! But for me, change is not inevitable, it should be decided on a case to case basis only...!

Thank God!! I remain the same as I know me since my birth...!!

My Grandma remembered...!

Almost an year have passed since my grandma passed away...! She was at her 80s when she breathed last.!! She lived as a very humble, polite and affectionate personality all through her life...!

She live as a loved one by 8 children and 16 grand children all through her life...! Now all of her children are travelling to Rameswaram to take part in her after-life ritual for the first year...!

Then yesterday night I have got a call from one of my prospective employer. The discussion went on for about half an hour..! They wanted to meet me and planning to travel down south for the meeting...! But I haven't yet set my mind to join them and thinking of meeting about them!!

It is yet another weekend without much thrills ...! Another week to go for the big celebration across the country - Diwali !! It reminds me the old days of childhood when I have prepared hand made greeting cards for the loved ones..!

But the life today is full on electronic media ...! Not much room for the human affection to be embedded as sincere work on the cards!! Anyhow my sincere and advance Diwali wishes for you..!!

See you on Monday..!!

Find me in docstoc..!

You know I have wrote about my active participation in LinkedIn through my old posts...! When I was browsing through the internet, I have found one another interesting website docstoc !!

I didn't waited much but immediately posted one of my documents there...! So you can now find me in docstoc too..! Eventhough there are several other services like scribd are there, docstoc is with a difference...! The best part about it is, you can use your Google adsense account (If you have one) to earn there...!

Then yesterday I was quite busy at my work and could not find enough time to post in the day time and decided to do it from my home..! But when I reached home I have found my son crying... He had fell down while playing and scratched his both knees..! So I have spent more time in consoling him and in that I haven't find time to write my yesterday's post...!

Tomorrow I will write about one of the other softwares...! Till then bye...

Shorter Tuesdays...!

These days the Tuesdays are becoming shorter as we have our top management meetings on Tuesdays...! It takes upto 3 hours of our regular working hours of the day!!

This morning also most of my time was ate by the meeting and I didn't get much time to spare with any other activities except the couple of phone calls I made to my Mom who was travelling to Chennai..!

In the afternoon, I had a meeting with one of our suppliers. As part of the meeting it happened to meet my boss at his residence. As my residence also nearer to his, when I was returning back to office in the evening (almost it was after-office-hours) I have took my son with me to the office.

On our return to home , today also he was enjoying the beautiful lights put up on the streets as part of the temple festival here...!

Let us hope a better tomorrow too...!

Its his second stint at school...!

My regular readers might be remembering about my son's refusal to go to school when he was too small to go to school...

Now we believe he had grown up enough to go to school and today he made his second stint at school..! He was pestering me to admit him in school for the entire last week...!

As the schools are closed for quarterly vacation and reopened today only, I have made him at school today only...!

He had been told about life at school and how we are planning to leave and pick him up from the school to set his mind that he will be at school without the parent. I found no problem in leaving him at school and came to the office as usual in the morning...!

Then I have reached my home, my wife went to a nearby temple. So I thought of bringing my son from the school. On seeing me, he started crying and complained that his were already gone home...!

In the evening, I have took him to have a look at the beautiful lights put up on the streets for the ongoing temple festivals around the town...!

Now he is sitting on my lap listening to some good music wearing the headphone...!

That is all about today...! See you tomorrow...!!

Gandhi remembered...!

Mahatma - The word which become synonymous with his name Gandhi (Mohanlal Karamchand Gandhi)...! The great soul who have shown the world a most powerful weapon to fight against exploitation, Ahimsa (Non violence)...!

Today is Gandhi Jayanthi, the birthday of 'The Father of the Nation', which is also observed as the International Day of Non-violence. Most of the people in India, it is just another holiday, but his thoughts and ideologies should be taken to the younger generation in a much effective way for a better tomorrow...!

As we have started working on a new project of establishing a new matriculation school under the education institutions group I represent, our office is working today...! Being a relaxed, undisturbed holiday work, I have walked around our entire campus this morning in an attempt to update my knowledge about the latest happenings around here...!

In the afternoon, I was fully into the Internet trying to find about an information about a digital printer and spent the remaining time in preparing a proposal ...!

Let us hope its going to be an enchanting weekend...! See you tomorrow (Yes ... we are working tomorrow :( )

The Negotiation is On...!

Hope you have read my yesterday's post where I have promised to write about the film 'Unnai pol oruvan' in my Tamil blog ...! Little before only I have finished writing there...!

I have also wrote here that there are job offers coming my way..! Now I am carefully analyzing each offer and negotiating with some of those companies...! Some others I have already turned down...! But I am still expecting one another offer (which I am very much interested in...)!

If I get it I will definitely write here...!

Then yesterday and today there were lots of meetings...! This morning I have attended one another Symposium by the Department of Computer Science Engineering as a guest of honor..!

In the afternoon, after lunch, there were meetings with various people... That is how the day end today...!

See you tomorrow...!
