My Personal Blog - Sarada Ramani

On Saturday, I had gone over to Captain TV, one of the private channels started quite recently by Actor turned Politician Vijayakanth in Tamil Nadu.  I had been invited to their studios to do be in their Success Stories called Sigaram Tottavar - meaning those who have reached the Summit.  ( while I feel that I am yet to reach Mt Everest in terms of my professional career, I do admit that in my own rights there is something I have achieved in this second innings of mine.  Having a started a Software Training industry at a mature age of 36ys and also after years of being just a homemaker - with no financial, technical and entrepreneurial background and out of which have spawned this living entity called Computers International and sustaining it against all odds is quite an achievement) Oh No, I am drifting from what I was trying to write, this post is not about me - but about what I observed in Captain TV was astonishing.  It is just a 6 months old entity and the work force is mostly le

" Enjoying what you do" is what sprang up my mind when I happened to watch the Food program on Podigai TV this Sunday . Mr Damodharan was demonstrating very simple and common food like Puliodharai , Potato fry, Coconut rice, etc. What was impressing all of us ( mind you the whole family which includes my mother in law , my husband and my younger daughter and our cook) were fascinated to watch him perform. No nothing great about the items that he was demonstrating, which all of us know. But the obvious pleasure he had in making these items and the relish with which he was talking about the various combinations that will make this meal a fantastic one - was what was worth watching. It was forenoon and we happened to watch this program - but when a person is involved and excited in what he does, then that spirit catches on to the viewers was the conclusion that we all came. What a fantastic host. Great work Damo .

Does Age and Maturity have any direct correlation . I would say NO. The other night I was fortunate to watch the Vijay TV Supersinger Juniors elimination round. In this round, Balasarangan was the one who was eliminated. Personally, I felt that he deserved to be in the team and the other guy should be the one who was eliminated. But the Judges decisions are always final. What a wonderful and mature boy, or should I say, MAN he was. When asked his reaction to the elimination, the way he spoke about with lot of innate maturity and hope, I really wanted to stand up and applaud. I learnt a great deal from this boy. For Sarangan , I know this is just a beginning for him and not the end. You just mark my words, he will go very far and reach great heights, what ever profession he chooses. He will be an asset to his family, his company and to his country too. HATS OFF TO THIS LITTLE BOY WITH A HIGH MATURITY. Sarada

Oh my blog posts now looks like an announcement board talking about one meeting after another. so let me talk about something else different now Today in the afternoon when I was having lunch, I happened to see a Reality show - so what is different in this show was : There was a competition going on and the competition to choose the pair which scored the highest points . Guess what ! The real difference was the competition place and also the activity - It was the plucking of " Drum sticks" by farm labourers . Yes it is true The whole thing was set in a real work environment and the participants were competing on the actual work they perform everyday. These poor ordinary labourers without any surrounding sets were performing so well in their natural environment. The pair which had plucked the highest number was given a Silk Saree and all the participants also got gifts. within a time of 2 minutes this pair managed to pluck 237 drum sticks. I am sure this zeal will

On Sunday I saw the TV Program by Vishu called the ‘ Makkal Arangam (meaning where people gather together to discuss various things). He had earlier successfully launched the Aratai arangam (it means the place where people gather to gossip, discuss, etc). What I like about his reality show are as follows: 1. His concept made lot of people to come out and speak with courage conviction and brings to limelight very ordinary people with good oratory skills in unexpected part of the country/world. 2. The best part of the show is ‘ his public show of emotion’. He proved to the world that getting emotional is not a weakness but a strength. 3. Showing the needy and thereby enabling philanthropists to support such needy people is one other best things that happens on the show. 4. Many of the common man sufferings have come to lime light 5. He also showcases the achievement of ordinary people. 6. There is a public awareness campaign about some topic or other – this time it was the follow up
