The Iyer's Corner

The one in the left side is with my collegue Sumeet from Finance, who was the part of the play staged by their plant... The other one is with associates from our plant just before their fabulous performance... On personal front, had a flying visit to Tiruchy, on 4th been there for 2 days, spent time with Mother, Aunts,Uncle, Sisters.. Fortunate to attend Meisar Trust meeting on 5th ; fortunate enough to meet and speak with people of unique objective and mindset.. Went to my home after a long time (more than a year..) ; spent few moments in the corner room where.... Myself and my Granpa used to discuss about PV Narasimharao, Jayalalitha, Rajinikanth, Moopanar and the likes.. my granpa used to sing happily on GOD... I used to listen to his old memories...from the window used to watch the outside movements of the colony children, friends, girls...used to prepare, write, cut, paste for my manuscript-Vaasamalar... hmm... un forget ful moments; Collected the stories collection of yesteryear...

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 ...

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.
