One of our memorable photo

Kavitha creating Record

Going to Gym has been a difficult task. Motivation to go to Gym was partly created by seeing half the movie at home and seeing the second half in gym, that way, running 2 miles a day was quite easy. Now taking the motivation to next level, Kavitha ran in the morning and in the evening....for the first time, hoping to continue the trend in the coming days :-)

Going to New york and Niagara

Hi folks, i am leaving to new york and niagara on Aug 30, 2007 for 4 days...Travel Tips Welcome...

Motivated by Lance Armstrong

I have been running with nike+ shoes with the nike+ipod kit for the last 5 days. I used to run a maximum of 2 miles in gym 3-4 months ago. After coming back from india in June end, my motivation to go to gym reduced and then my excitement on nike + ipod grew. So i decided to buy one. With that, today i ran my first 5 miles...actually 5.4 miles....

Sai Narain and inspiring team creating village BPO

I had a 2 year senior by name sai narain. He joined Citibank just after college (MBA) like 10 others in his batch. I am inspired that he has left his job and started sai seva, a rural BPO. Its client include Royal Sundaram insurance, HDFC etc. His logic is that villagers who have got education should not be forced to migrate to cities leaving their families. They should remain in village and help parents in all ways and also work in accordance to their education. There are business reasons as well....Cost per seat is less and attrition will be almost negligible compared to cities.

Rajini Inspiring Songs : Balleilakka - what does it mean

Balleilakka from Sivaji movie is my favorite song now. I am trying to find out what is the meaning of Ballailakka. Can anyone tell me. I get new energy by listening to this song. I think there is one such inspirational, fast beat, mood pepping song in evey rajini movie offlate. I am planning to collate those songs so that i can listen to them all at once. Can you help me with such songs:

Sivaji: Balleilakka
Chandramukhi: Devuda Devuda
Padayappa: Vetri kodi kattu, malaigalai ..
Baba: Tippu kumari, shakthi kodu
Baasha: Raa Raa raa ramaiah
Muthu: Oruvan Oruvan mudhalali
Annamalai: Vanthenda paalkaran
Thalapathy: Raakamma Kayya Thatu
Manithan: Manitha Manithan

Early Retirement

The concept of early retirement was very tempting to me at some point in time. That meant a lot of free time and freedon to do what i want to do. That meant, i need to work hard and earn fast to reach the financial goal. A few of my friends were in the same race. In fact, there was one of my friend who was passionate about this idea and planned on where he would stay, with whom he would stay, who would be his neighbours. He was also pretty good in his work, and he started earning 4-5 times compared to his classmates.

Pros to Retirement life (Cons of a work life)

1. You dont have to keep alarm to wake up. You can get up whenever your body wakes up from sleep.
2. You dont have to skip breakfast to rush to office
3. You dont have to dress yourself up, if you desire not to
4. You dont have to eat a fast lunch, just because you only have a 30 minute break between 2 meetings for your lunch
5. You can go to bookstore and browse books whenever you need to and however long you need to
6. You can see movies anytime, any shows back to back
7. You dont have to walk faster than usual just because you may be late for the 1PM meeting
8. You dont have to go in 30 miles per hour when the speed limit is 25 miles per hour inside the campus
9. You dont have to make a moving stop inside the office campus / apartment on STOP signs
10. You have all the time in the world.

Cons to retired life (Pros for work life)

1. You dont make money
2. You dont have professional challenges
3. Opportunity for new friendship is restricted

Best of Both the worlds

What if, you have a work where you dont have to go early in the day, dont have to work 8 hours, dont have to give your best each day, dont have to stress out physically or intellectually or emotionally.

What if, you are not accountable to anyone for what you do, dont have to worry for not showing upto meetings or showing up late to meetings.

What if, you are so cool, that you stop completely on all stop signs, look all the 4 sides and leisurely drive, never overtake any vehicle, change lanes just to reach destination faster,

What if, you can wait in the car to listen to the song completely after you park.

What if, you can go and workout in Gym during office hours, so that there is less rush in gym and go to movies

What if, you can just bunk one day and dont feel that you missed something in office or someone needed you badly

What if, after doing all the above, you are considered important in your work. What if, you get a good rating and good salary.

What if, you can sleep for 3 hours in the afternoon after a Sumptious meal on a work day.

What if, you lead a retirement life when you work!!!

MOZHI SONGS

The songs from mozhi are real good, especially Katrin Mozhi. Everything in this is good, the lyrics, the choreography, the tune, the singers (balaram and sujatha). Both versions of the song are good.

Kavitha and I liked the photo above very much and took this in a big print


This angel wing had some sharp wing and it poked him deeply and he was crying. Initially we thought that he was afraid of the wing and crying, but after we came home, we noticed that his back had some scratches and some blood mark....
