Promoting Arts

On Sunday, I was called for the Prize distribution function arranged by Columbia Kannan Trust and Jayadhaarini Trust for the youngsters who had participated in Classical music/semi classical music light music  under vocal and instruments  category in the competition held on 5th and 12th of September

Here again, I went with the question - what a IT company head has to do with Music competition.  Everyone in my family was looking at me with  wide eyes when I told them where I am going.  I told them, to enjoy a movie, you dont need to be a movie maker so to enjoy music you dont need to be necessarily a singer and also they are calling me to a function where I dont need to sing, but to distribute the prizes to the winners.

I came to know of these trusts only recently.

Columbia Kannan Trust is a very young trust just one year old instituted in memory of Late S Kannan, who is famously known as columbia kannan who has served his life with music and musicians while working as recording Officer in saraswathi stores a unit of AVM Ltd .Columbia Kannan has helped  lot of musicians has come up in their life His sons  K Sridhar, K Govindan & K Balaji all are in different field, have promoted this trust to continue the good work of their father.

Jayadhaarini Trust is also because of one man - Late Cheeni Krishnaswamy who having served as a Tamil Teacher has contributed to the Tamil literature by translating one the 5 great epics of Tamil namely Seeva Chintamani in a dramatized form titled Raasamadevi.  It had taken him 35 years of hard work to bring out this publication which has been well received.  The Government of Tamil Nadu has recognized the good work and this book has received the Best Publication Award in 2002.   This trust  now being taken care of by Mr K Padmanabhan son of Late Cheeni Krishnaswamy aims to work towards promoting arts and literature with public recognition of the services of various people in different walks of life and Mr

Here I found two great things to write about -

  1. An individual takes up the cause of promotion of Arts and Literature for the sheer love of things

  2. The siblings take up the great work of their father and carry forward things in their names
WOW  I admire these two fathers -  who have inculcated their love into their children, & the Sons -  who with their own work schedule are spending their personal time, effort and money towards something that their fathers started.

May these two trust continue their good work so that lot more youngsters get their talents recognized by the whole world.

Dr Natarajan - The Indusrial Queens Maker

This was pending for a long time from me - to write about one of the Best persons in the world - who encourages Woman to Take up the mantle of Owner of their own Enterprise. That why I have named him the Industrial Queens Maker. How many woman entrepreneurs he would have helped in making - must be running in 5 figures already. do you know of anybody other than Dr Natarajan , who has gained a doctorate on his research paper on "Women Entrepreneurship". His work was his life. The post of Jt director, Tamil Nadu Industries Department in`charge of Women Entrepreneurship was the most apt post for him. You go to him with just one dream - Wanting to go out on your Own - He will make it happen - that is the truth about him. He not only used to counsel people about what kind of industry will suit them, but will also advice about the various methods in running it efficiently and also actively help them to get started. He even used to guide them about how to approach the fi

 Rajastahn Tour Dairies Day 5 contd.. So doing a repeat post on this Little Krishna's abode which was the main reason why I signed up for the tour. The most powerful Little Child who makes people fall in love with this eternal bliss of God - Shrinath ji.   How fortunate are the people living in here who can have the different darshans of the Lord at different time of day.  Yes all the Arathis are different with beautiful attire and charming smile and different nivedhayam. Even to stand in front of him is more than enough for anyone.   History of Nathdwara Shrinathji says that during the reign of Aurangzeb, statue of Lord Krishna was moved from Vrindavan to enshrine it at a safe place. However, when the vehicle carrying the statue passed through the particular spot where the temple now is, its wheels were stuck in the mud. The priest accompanying the image interpreted it to be an indication from the Lord himself. People understood that the Lord did not want to move any further. Ther

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
