Gifting

Recently my mother in law passed away. She was 84 and had a good life.  At the time of her death, I was the only one in the family who was talking about Eye Donation - who didnt happen, because, the others overruled me in larger numbers and I had no say.  But please, the readers of this blog dont let this happen to your near and dear.  Make sure that eyes are donated.  You will be more than convinced after reading this through

  • India’s Total People- 118 Crore,
  • Each Day Death - 62389,
  • Each Day Born - 86853,
  • Total Blinds - 682497.
If each Death People Donate their Eyes,
Within 11 Days, All those will be able to See.
Then in India there will be NO BLINDS.
If nothing else convinces you, then the above should.
Reusable is not just for plastics and paper but also for our Body Parts.  Help others See, even if you blinded by love of the your beloved person who is dead

Sorry to know about your mother in law. Infact I remember closely watching the Endhiran wedding seen to figure her out, with your description earlier.
You are so right in talking about organ donation. We will never know the need of one, unless we are deprived of it, and this is exactly the attitude of our society today to neglect the suffering of people around. Hopefully we would awake from this slumber of 'not for me' attitude for a better world. It is ideal for all of us to plan the passing, in which one of the request should be what should we do to ourselves when we go.

As part of this, glad i made my family pledge for eye donation to Rajan Eye Bank and also for organ donation in case of an accident eventuality...nothing wrong in doing this.

You are right in having done the eye and organ donation along with the family.
What I have done is that I have told my husband, my daughters and others too, as much as possible the following instrctions in the event of the anything happening to me
1. I dont want to be kept alive artifically, but should be allowed to die peacefully
2. As much as possible, the organs have to be harvested
3. If case, death occurs in any other place, dont waste time or money in bringing the body back to "my house" but make sure that it is taken care of at the place of death itself or whatever works out for the best.

These are something, I believe would avoid confusion, isnt.

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
