The Iyer's Corner

There was an article in Sunday Times this week ... titled "I am Brahmin... " ; the following is in line with the emotions reflected in the article.. Politicians and Law Makers always talk about reservations in jobs in both private and govt sector. Let us check the rationale behind the reservations.. They have a list of castes which they have categorised as forward, backward, most backward, scheduled etc., The reservations in any manner in jobs / admissions in colleges are based on the caste system. Look at who are the beneficiaries.. Parents are doctors..son being from a favoured (lets call like that only na,,, favoured by govt !!) caste get admission into mbbs even at lesser grades thrashing a chance of a deserving candidate. Family is in a good business, entire set of children get into plum jobs just being from a favoured caste class, again seizing the chance of deserving candidates who really require a job for their living without much family background. The Loosers.. are ...

Ufff.... Much of my work relating to Stat audit for the current year are over..! felt somewhat relieved. Will go back to mahad after weekend.. Almost...3:00 am in the morning... thought of leaving home (friend's place) after a small nap in the office premises ... Just was having a final preparation for next day's meeting,.Also was listening to music india online.. I had choosen to hear 1984 songs.. heard from "Vaidehi kathirundhaal " and "Naan Paadum Paadal.. " .. ...In a shortwhile , I closed all my other files and started listening to the songs... which made me think of specific instances 22 years ago ... (Oh.. i have become that old.!!!! ) and about certain close friends. The anna and akka lived opposite to our house in tiruchy used to sing these songs very sweetly.. (Ditto SPB and Janaki...!). Some times my father used to support their songs by an electronic guitar.. I used to try my luck with a wooden stool producing beats (mostly disturbing them).. The...

There is a country called "Isle of Man" in the Irish seas.. I came to know of that for the first time, when seeing the medals tally in the commonwealth games. A country for Men..!!!! Great. Will certainly go there for a "Honey Moon " trip..

Was just glanzing part of interview of Vaiko to a leading portal .... I don't have any personal grudge against the alliance.. Also feel that Vaiko has taken the correct decision as the situation warranted... Excerpts of the interview.. And what if people too raise the question of why you joined Jayalalithaa? POTA was launched by the BJP, and not Madam Jayalalithaa. My party men were in the [Union] ministry, and that was a mistake. But she was the person who used POTA. Yes, she used it. And, you called her a fascist then. Yes. These are all part of the game. It has happened. Let us forget the past. If you stick to the past, no political party can forge an alliance with any other political party. So, I will tell the public, let us forget the past. Well.....I like the last , very last word Vaiko used..."Forget" the Past.... Thats how they survive elections after elections. Any Citizen is really the king of the Country.....Ruled by such Survivors. **************************...

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...
