A tribute to my father

This is my tribute to my father whom I lost this sunday early morning.  He lived a great life and passed away very peacefully in his house, his room and on his bed.  What more does anyone wish for.  Though he was even critical few months back, he was ok and was going about his daily routines within his home.

Coming to the point :  More than anything he loved life, loved people, very energetic, and was always looking out for ways and means to help people.  Through his Vastu powers there were many a people who had got great benefits - ourselves including!!!.

An avid sportsman himself excelling in both cricket and Table tennis, gave it off because of the work pressure.  Here is the article in today's Hindu sports page which details out his sports achievement

Raman (81) passes away


Former State and Railways table tennis star, S. Raman, passed away on April 28. He was 81.
A fluent attacker who always chose to play close to the table playing with utmost felicity on both flanks, Raman represented the State (then Madras) and later Railways both in the national and international events.
Raman is reported to have been the only Indian player to take a game off the Czech master, Ivan Andreadis.
A contemporary of the famous duo, V. Sivaraman and Thiruvengadam, Raman was the elder brother of the two former state players, S. Lakshman (UCO Bank) and S. Bharathan (State Bank).
Raman excelled in cricket also, playing for Bhimenapet RC and Jai Hind CC in the city league.
He was a forceful opening batsman and on off-spinner. After leaving Railways, he worked for Enfield India.
He is survived by his wife, two sons and daughter. — Special Correspondent

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
