Choices - this is what makes you what you are

The fittest Survive, even faced with a adverse situation. This is the absolute truth about the evolution theory. One more person to prove this time honoured cliche is R. Radikaa, the Chairman & Managing Director, Radaan Media Works India Ltd.
This is what differentiates her from all other people in the Media world - She is a renowned Award winning Actress in our Indian Movie world. But the first woman to Corpartarize her company and make it a big banner is something which is awe inspiring. In a world where your individual talent alone makes you what you, To create a living entity and forging a separate path for you - and at the same time doing your personal professional acting(coming out great at it) - My God what a amassing personality who is forced to wear multiple hats.
My admiration goes for the kind of portrayal she does of a Woman - not just the stereotyped always bearing every injustice with a smile, suffering within herself and trying to win over everybody with her goodness alone - yes there are women like that, but mostly in yesteryears. Today a typical woman is more empowered (almost this is true), stands ups for what she believes and fights against injustice (no dont get me wrong, I dont believe that woman empowerment is to take up the flag of mutiny), but at the same time compramise what is worth compramising for, and also do good to others. This is what I believe every woman should be. And I am happy that Radhikaa portrays such a strong woman in all the serials that she telecasts.
The way she came through today, as a Chief guest in ewit (empowering women in IT) organization's 2nd Anniversary Celebrations, sharing with the audiences what and how she did all these - forced to take tough choices, but putting her foot down when she believed what is the right way to go about and at the same time taking care of her family - Everybody has something to learn some important lessons from her. I liked when she said "At the end of the day, for me what my children think about me is very important" - this is what drives all of us to do what we want to do guiding us to do the right thing all the time.
Radhikaa - I am waiting to see you receive the Best Entrepreneur Award pretty soon. May God be with you in all your endeavours and take you and your family to great heights.

Giving back to Society

When I joined Rotary Club of Chennai Thiruvanmiyur , I didnt understand what changes a club can make to somebody unknown. Our club had taken up Adult Literacy program in a very remote village near Pondi , which is quite far away from our city. While the project objectives were good, the distance and the way the then President had taken this project unilaterally, made all of us not to think too much of it. But a Project is a Project done with a Goodness. This is a such a remote village, where the main occupation of the people is fishing in the nearby Pondi reservoir . That is also halted when the Krishna waters comes into the reservoir . When the program was started it was with reluctance that the people joined. The President came up with the idea to give one kg of rice to the people who are attending the program, whenever he visited them. That became the great motivator as for people who dont know when their next meal will be or where it will come from - it became a boon

IT SME FORUM

About 7 months back a group of Entrepreneurs from Chennai who had a common thread of running their software companies got togehter to form a cohesive group - The IT SME FORUM - as a Strategy to accelerate their individual growth through synergy. Each one of these entrepreneurs are successfully running their software companies fighting individual battles to keep the company up and running, maintain a steady growth rate, increase their customer base, etc. Running a company in India is not a easy task - it is literally getting pulled in thousands of direction and believe me - A business leader is supposed to concentrate only on Growth - Marketing - Sales. But I have found that typically in the Indian environ, we get pulled into operations and managing to spend some time for the most crucial aspect of the business. This gave rise to the idea - why not have a platform to share the best practices, to learn how to tackle problems, get a better voice and get a big bandwidth in terms of out rea

Thanks to Aravind who wanted me to write about the Temple at thiruvotriyur in chennai. that was one of those days when you get up early in morning and the whole world looks very frustrating and you dont know what to do. it became a God send message to me. So started my preparation to go the temple. I reside in the south chennai and the the Temple is at Thiruvotriyur in North Chennai. and the travel time will be more than 1.30 hours. So we started at 10.30 and reached around 11.45. The temple closes at 12 noon after the mid day pooja. What a divine visit it was. I came back so calm and filled with energy. This is a Shiva temple and the God is known as Tyagarajar, Adipureeswarar and Padampakka Nathar. The main deity is said be in the form of Lingam formed of Mud which is covered with Golden cover sheet. Once a year during Karthik Poornima, the Gold cover is removed and the necessary abishekam is performed and the once again the Lingam is covered with all the medicinal materials. His conc
