The Iyer's Corner

I was in Indonesia for about 5 days.. it would be totally unfair if i dont "Puke" something about it.. so... Indonesia... their baasha is baasha.. (name of the language) They don't understand Veg and Non -Veg .. many times i ended up having " Nazi " (rice ) ,Curd, and some fruits... There are Indian Restaurants (including Komala Vilas) but, they are generally found in Jakarta. Womenists will find it very difficult to pull on in indonesia... as one can find women in almost all sector.. Most of the employed own "big" cars .... at least 1200 cc.. Equally corrupted country (is that so.. ?) ... but major cities have good infrastructure.. especially the roads ... good engineering and nicely maintained... Their airport is better than Mumbai... If I get an opportunity to go to Indonesia, the next time, I will go to Bali; will certainly write about Sukarno and girls out there.. which wud be of much more interest to youngsters (:o>

Back with moushtache.... Heard that the Moolavar in Sri Parthasarathy Temple in chennai also sport a moushtache..

nowadays i dont get time to update... yesterday in R Mall mulund, took a photo with Srikanth. We found a lot of cheerful young faces, in their prime, high in confidence, all smiles, generously "showing up" ... We were discussing for quite some time on the changes we find in the youth today compared to few years ago about the culture, the style,the approach.. etc., we are really worried... " Are we lagging behind... ? " Then saw the movie "The Breakup" (Jennifer Aniston).. a simple family drama.. Seems to be a remake of "chalte -chalte " (shah rukh and rani)... ? (or the other way.. ?)

I found these in some of my mail archives... TEACHER: Tommy, why do you always get so dirty? TOMMY: ! Well, I'm a lot closer to the ground than you are. TEACHER: "George Washington not only chopped down his father's cherry tree, but also admitted doing it. Now do you know why his father didn't punish him?" JOHNNY : "Because George still had the ax in his hand." TEACHER: Desmond, your composition on "My Dog" is exactly the same as your brother's. Did you copy his? DESMOND: No, teacher, it's the same dog! TEACHER : What do you call a person who keeps on talking when people are no longer interested? PUPIL: A teacher. Rolling Stone.. Who says rolling stone gathers no mass.. ? Yesterday was one more day in the office... One person is joining us at a senior level, his seventh company. Few reporting to him , have the same length of experience and knowledge, but all acquired in the same place. The shifting in the job had made all the diff...

It’s raining here heavily, and the river has started slightly overflowing to the nearby fields... Another 2-3 feet rise in the water level, river may reach the gates of the housing colony... That’s what had happened last year, (remember Mumbai 26/7..?), water reached almost the flooring level of the ground floor of the housing colony; I was operating from Mumbai those days. I was advised not to venture out to Mahad during those days... Heard that in the parking lot in one of the block, the Cars were tied with heavy ropes, so that they don’t get carried away by the floods..!! Water falls in almost all the hills around (Sahyadhari Hills) is a common sight during these days. Few times I had been to Shivtargarh ( a place where Samarth Guru Ramadass and the great Maratha King Shivaji used to meet in those days..) hundreds of water falls can be seen, all through the way. One can hear the continuous hissing of the unseen falls among the dense growth of the green trees and the shrubs, all alo...

Was away from mahad for almost 10 days.. On the way back to mahad on Monday, somebody was narrating about one of their company meetings on the reduction of usage of Volatile Organic Compounds in their process. The production manager was elaborating the change in process to all concerned present in the meeting... "As per the earlier process, we have to be dissolved in Chloroform...." where he wanted to mean that the product has to be dissolved in chloroform as per the earlier process .. It is not just funny, but very serious in the global scenario, where an entity is not limiting the VOC emissions as per their commitment to UN, the entity has no way but to close down the operation...

More than 150 Dead, and around 500 wounded... What a Cowardly Act, I really don't understand what one would gain by blasting crowded local trains other than by spreading panic and terror. But, Mumbai is Mumbai, and there is no question of panic and terror ; There was , in fact timely help and support by the locals to those affected and wounded passengers all the way ; Find below an extract of a forwarded mail, titled "A Letter to Terrorist" Dear Terrorist, Even if you are not reading this we don't care. Time and again you tried to disturb us and disrupt our life - killing innocent civilians by planting bombs in trains, buses and cars. You have tried hard to bring death and destruction, cause panic and fear and create communal disharmony but everytime you were disgustingly unsuccessful. Do you know how we pass our life in Mumbai? How much it takes for us to earn that single rupee? If you wanted to give us a shock then, we are sorry to say that you failed miserably in ...
