Sowbhagya Educational Trust

Seeing a poor family - don't feed them but teach them to fish. Of course, I should have written don't just feed them, these families that I am going to talk about, have income generators as their head of family, but only thing is that their income is not even sufficient to take of their family. When such is the situation, how can they think of educating their children so that at least their children will be out of the ' poverty line'. Sowbhagya (means life filled with all good things) educational trust is doing a Yeomen service to these kind of people in their residential area. Sowbhaya trust which celebrated its 16 th annual day recently had invited me to their function as a chief guest and I had the honor and privilege of distributing educational aid to these children. It was such a sight to see and behold. From the way the trust works under the Founding Trustee, Jayalakshmi Rajagopal , it goes about in with a great strategy that at the end of the day the children...

The goodness of a TV Serial - Rural television clubs promote healthy living

I was very surprised when I read through the OneWorld South Asia Magazine , which posts articles about women and all those issues/achievements aimed at the Woman population . In my earlier article, I was cribbing about the TV Serial , and look what a transformation has happened because the right kind of serial was telecast, which was seen by right kind of people and right kind of action was taken. My Salutations for the Women of Chhattisgarh, one of the Northern states in India for this wonderful achievement and showing the Real Power of Women. Hats off to you all my Sisters. I am reproducing the article verbatim from the Magazine Rural television clubs promote healthy living Swapna Majumdar 29 May 2008 Inspired by a national television programme, women in Chhattisgarh villages in central India went on to form Kalyani clubs to drive awareness on health-related issues. Six years after their inception, the declining cases of diseases and improved maternal and child health s...

Marundeeshwarar temple, Thiruvanmiyur

Here I come with one more temple from Chennai, especially from my locality. One of the famous Lord Shiva temples, it is an ancient temple, which is famous for the cure of diseases. The name of the Lord Shiva - Marundeeshwarar means that He is the Supreme for medicines. the L ingam or the Shiva idol, is a self originator , called S uyambu . This is white in color due to the belief that Kamadhenu (the fulfiller of all wishes), the Divine Cow is said to perform abiskhegam everyday by her milk. Hence, He is also called Pallvannanathar (meaning, the person with the color of milk) Lord Siva is said to have given relief to the the Sun and the Moon apart from sage Agastya . Due to this it is believed that Sun and Moon worship the Lord in the evening. The Lingam faces West rather than the traditional east in this temple. Due to this there is no Navagrahas (the nine planets) in this temple. The other shrines that are found here are Lord Nataraja , Thiagaraja and the Lordess T...

The sleeping Doll

The Sleeping Doll by Jeffery Deaver this book a thriller series, is well written. Though I have seen the movie version of his book "Bone Collector", this is the first time I had read this author's book and I found that he has a good story outline and writes very nicely keeping up the suspense till the end. By the way this book is written, I am making him one of my favourite authors and will try to read through all his other books. The whole book is about a maniac and master manipulator and how the California Bureau of Investigations agent Kathryn Dance goes after him. Every chapter keeps up the suspense and keeps the readers guessing. A very good book for a long journey where you will not be able to keep it down and so wouldn't even understand how the times flies. Happy reading
