The Iyer's Corner

Was not having proper connectivity to update... I get to see few tamil magazines, after a long time, yesterday, where.. Cho wrote in his Editorial on Kumaraswamy & H D Gowda.... "Nam Makkal Ellorum innattu Mannar, Nam Natiil Mannaratchi ozhikkapattu vehu natkalahivittadhu..." On the Cash for Question issue, some body wrote in Ananda Vikatan...(or Kumudam ?) "Namma MP-aya, panam kuduthu, "Arjun Amma Yaarunnu" parliment-la kekka vechu nalla matti vittutanga..." ******************************************************************************

I got an opportunity to be in Meivazhisalai during Pongal. It was a dream come true. Thank God. "...Ulladhulla dhondrarkum kittadhadhu.. Ellai Meivazhisalai Isaivadhay.." ************************************************************************************

I had an opportunity to stay in GOA for a few years, on a job offer. I have refused to take it. I don't know whether I have taken a right decision, but quite sure, will not feel sorry for it. That's a professional decision. But, personally, I think I may feel sorry, for not being in a place like Goa. To get away with that, I have planned to make frequent trips to Goa with and without friends. Any body joining ?

A nice story to start the new year with...... In 1883, a creative engineer named John Roebling was inspired by an idea to build a spectacular bridge connecting New York with the Long Island. However bridge building experts throughout the world thought that this was an impossible feat and told Roebling to forget the idea. It just could not be done. It was not practical. It had never been done before. Roebling could not ignore the vision he had in his mind of this bridge. He thought about it all the time and he knew deep in his heart that it could be done. He just had to share the dream with someone else. After much discussion and persuasion he managed to convince his son Washington, an up and coming engineer, that the bridge in fact could be built. Working together for the first time, the father and son developed concepts of how it could be accomplished and how the obstacles could be overcome. With great excitement and inspiration, and the headiness of a wild challenge
