beg u r pardon

It was a cloudy evening after a drizzle. Myself, Mouly & Bala are heading our way towards the 'Secret Lake' by walk. A small girl from the slum came running on our way and begged politely by calling 'Uncle' with her hands raised.

I didnt listen her, for my aim is to reach the lake and go for boating. Also i consider that helping a begger encourages begging and doesnt really helps a poor.

Mouly took a coin out of his packet and gave her. She ran towards the slum and ourselves into the Lake garden. We had a good time in boating and were returning from the Lake garden.

Again the same girl came running but this time Mouly said NO. We walked a few steps and a small boy with one hand raised for begging and the other holding a diminutive stick & rolling a tyre sang the same words 'Uncle' to us.

I didnt mind the boy (again the same concept of helping a begger doesnt mean helping a poor flashed in me) and kept walking but Mouly gave him a two rupee coin and joined us.

Suddenly Mouly grabbed my shoulders back and pointed a small cart having sweets. The scene i saw there really made me to feel embarassed for not having helped the small boy. Yes, that boy was calling his small friends to share the sweets what he is buying for the money he got then.

The attitude of the poor boy to share whatever he gets questioned me that I have missed an oppurtunity to help a good soul. Now i feel that helping a begger by giving a coin is in anyway gonna useful to them. Though we can say it encourages begging, i think this is one way to help the poor and i am redefining my Principle.

I dont want to miss the chance of helping a good soul in the name of saying that helping a begger encourages begging and doesnt really helps a poor

So what is HOT abt Hyderabad?

When i came to Hyderabad in September (for first time), i loved the warm and cozy climate prevailed here. In December, the temp reached as low as 11 degree Centi making it feel like Ooty. In those days, when I looked at some houses with AC's attached I wondered why do they need it?

But today, I am in 'dead need' of an AC or atleast an air cooler. The heat waves are heating me like anything and whenever i step out of my office, i feel like i am in a burning furnace.

Oh God! why do these s/w companies keep their centres in Hot cities?

அன்னைக்கு காலைல, எங்க கைல துப்பாக்கி இல்ல ஆனா கரண்டி இருந்துச்சு

இவர் பேரு மெளலி, சாதம் வைக்கிற expert
இவரு முகுந்தன், சாம்பார் specialist
இவரு முருகானந்தம், பொறியல் Master (பொறியியலில் கூட)

சும்மா சொல்லக் கூடாது, ரொம்ப கஷ்டப்பட்டு சமைச்சானுங்க,

ஆமா நான் என்ன பண்ணேன் சொல்லவேயில்லியே
என் பேரு கார்த்தி, Taste expert
சும்மா round கட்டி சாப்பிட்டு flat ஆகிட்டேன், (இரண்டாவது லைன் படிங்க)

காக்க காக்க sorry சமைக்க சமைக்க

blogtograph - part 1

I still remember my father said me that i lost a LKG seat in Petit Seminaire Higher Secondary School, a 175 yrs old and well reputed school in Pondy, just bcoz i didnt say my name when the Principal asked me.

Then i joined a small school started by a simple person Lourdusamy who had a very big vision at that time. The school was started just two years before(in 1984) with upto 5th standard(i am not sure). The name of the school was 'Amalorpavam High School' at that time.

The strategy he followed was introducing one more standard each year while maintaining discipline in all standards.

From LKG to XII standard, almost 15 years, i studied in that school watching the growth of it. Those were so peaceful & beautiful school days. Now it is called 'Amalorpavam Higher Secondary School' - stands next to that Petit Seminaire in results and in reputation due to the hardwork of Lourdusamy.

I still didnt forget the wish we used to say when any teacher enters into the class room,
'Good morning Sir/Miss, God Bless You' till seventh std, which later changed to
'Good morning Sir/Miss, Praise the Lord'

And the prayer i murmured for almost 15 years in morning & evening sessions
'Oh God! our father, we adore you, we believe in you, we hope you and we love you.
Bless us, our parents, our teachers and ours, AMEN'

thanks to my sweet memories, Long Live Lourdusamy

New Look

'Contemporary yet Classic'

This is the caption of 'The Hindu' newspaper (125 yrs old India's National Daily) who changed the look recently.

Though the new style didnt attracted me as the classic one of the newspaper, its good to see the change. I think they might have thought this proverb 'Familiarity breeds Contempt'.

For its very much important for a newspaper company to have an attraction to sustain in the market, I welcome the move

Back here, so why should i have the same old look ?

Enjoy my new blog look
