The Iyer's Corner

Had been to Udaipur on a three day Team Meet. Told by the guide, that only kingdom which was not ruled by British.. a city of Palaces, Lakes ; we all had a good time together; Could see in the picture ? My New Year Resolution:- Will wake up every morning.

Some body forwarded the above picture. I am not sure whether this is Thiruvannamalai, as I had never been to that place. I never had to change my name , come in trousers to office, making papad in home etc., Whoever challenged State Bank of India's specialities, had to do all the above according to their latest advertisement campaign. I may never challenge. That was, 10:30 in the night. I was inside a Bus towards panvel from Navi Mumbai. A mobile van crossed our bus, which seemed to carry a SBI ATM Machine, inside it. SBI moving towards mobile ATMs? I have never heard of Mobile ATMs anywhere else at least in India. If its a new SBI Strategy, hats off, SBI is really adding value to its customer service.

I had made a brief visit to Thane last week. By the week end there was a programme organised by the local Ayyappa Sewa Sangam, in the apartment complex where my friends are staying. They had organized for the playing of “Panja Vadhiyam” and the bhajans on lord ayyappan. It reminded me of my childhood days. My father used to go to sabari mala every year during those days. Also, I remember, how, when and why I wanted to write kavidhaigal. 1) Ayyappan Bhajans 2) History & Geography Teacher (when I was in 5th Class) When I was 8, I started accompanying my father, to such Bhajans. I still remember, I used to enthusiastically participate and repeat the lyrics of songs sung during the bhajans in a high pitched voice. At that age, I thought that I also could write and sing, songs of my own to appease God. For me, writing such kind of lyrics were so simple :- No concepts, just fill the song with a mixture of requests, wishes, prayers, and calling the God in between in by whatever name that

Was Away for a week in Mumbai, for my exams & official duties; Humble appeal to Student support "****"university:- I had to travel to Malad from Thane for my exams. Four hours a day on bus and auto was really tiring; There were connecting trains, but I hate travelling in suburban trains in Mumbai; I prefer taxis /autos /buses (in the order of priority) instead ; which I generally do in cases of official trips inside Mumbai , the expenses incurred being reimbursed; Why can't the university introduce such catchy schemes of reimbursing travelling expenses to motivate students who shy to travel in buses & trains like me ? Kidnapped... I have decided not to go to Bihar anytime, at any cost; even, if Telco wants me to Manage their operations in jamshedpur, paying at par with Bill Gates's salary, I will say "No". Thanks to movie Apaharan...(Ajay Devgan,Nana patekar). The first half was really good, thanks to the excellant screen play and direction inspiring

Of late I have been hanging around almost all matrimonial sites. After scrutinizing, over, hundreds of profiles (even big corporates wouldn’t have done at this level on recruitment for their key positions), I have come to the following conclusion... I am not at all looking for a life partner, who is very difficult to tell about in few sentences (please attach a booklet), is some where between extrovert and introvert (ordinary filter coffee), who looks for broadminded (broad fore headed okay?) handsome pious (anybody define handsome, pious ?) , wants a tee-totaler (yeah, I am best fit, tea one litre min a day), wants to strike a balance between work and life (Arjun says : My work is my life, So its always balanced !), who is God fearing (God is scary or what!! Why can’t one be “God Loving”) , highly confidant (pottu thakkidalam!) , self motivated (battery start) , traditional with extremely modern values mixed (fusion !!!!) , blah, blah, blah… I am simply looking for a girl whom I can

It happened some time back. We had a meeting in Mumbai which was to start sharply by 9:30 am. It was four hours journey from the place where we work. I left the housing colony in the early morning with one of my colleague in a car. It was still dark, and very cold outside. Accidents, overturned trucks, smashed cars are very common sights on the highway. It will be a surprise if we don’t spot any of these on any of our trips to and from Mumbai. We were discussing on product yields and productivity, while KJ Yesudas digitally tried to enlighten our spirits by singing some of the morning ragas. There was a sharp right turn after crossing the police check post outside the town. Five minutes after crossing the police check post, we found an overturned truck in the left side of the road. It’s headlights were still on. The indicators were also on. It was still dark, and there was nobody around, the place was quite far away from the town. We already had crossed the accident spot by a few mete
