Nice article by Swami Vivekanada

Recently I read this article was written by Swami Vivekananda. I found its very nice.

I once had a friend who grew to be very close to me. Once when we were sitting at the edge of a swimming pool, she filled the palm of her hand with some water and held it before me, and said this:

"You see this water carefully contained on my hand? It symbolizes Love." This was how I saw it, As long as you keep your hand caringly open and allow it to remain there, it will always be there. However, if you attempt to close your fingers round it and try to posses it, it will spill through the first cracks it find.

This is the greatest mistake that people do when they meet love...they try to posses it, they demand, they expect... and just like the water spilling out of your hand, love will retrieve from you. For love is meant to be free, you cannot change its nature. If there is people you love, allow them to be free beings.

Give and don't expect. Advise, but don't order. Ask, but never demand. It might sound simple, but it is a lesson that may take a lifetime to truly practice. It is the secret to true love. To truly practice it, you must sincerely feel no expectations from those who you love, and yet an unconditional caring.

Railway Budget

Indian railways lead several things in the world like having more
passengers, more employees and huge network. Indian Government keeps still railways in a monopoly state, you can see great competition for Railway ministry whenever the minister allocation, which shows how importance given for railways. Its one of the toughest task to run this kind of huge network with several language speaking people, different geographical patterns and providing service for Beggar to Prince.

Indian Railways' annual Budget plan outlays a plan of nearly Rs 10,000 crore. Given the huge amount, the Railways has been allotted a distinct budget, separte from the Annual Budget. And India is the only country in the world to follow the practice. So now time for look into Railway budget which was submitted by Mr. Lalu Prasad Yadav on FEB 24th.


Glance of Budget:
No increase in passenger fares.
No increase in freight rates.
55 New trains, 37 trains extended.
Fare cut in 1st class AC passenger by 18%
Fare cut in 2nd class AC passenger by 10%
Fare cut in 3rd class AC passenger by 25%
Dynamic pricing policy for freight introduced
ATMs, cyber cafes to be provided at major stations.

Only two things are getting more importance in the railways budget passenger fare and new routes. So this its don’t have any impact on the passenger side. But Its I don’t price cut in higher class how it will helpful railways to retain its passenger, because most of the higher end passenger more conscious in TIME Factor and comfortable journey rather then ticket fare. So its just to avoid the ticket fare comparison with low cost air air fare. Some of the new train announcements are just for Eyewash like Namakkal to Karur. And it was announced five years before still works going on.

Even though Railways keeps its monopoly position, it is facing great competition with Road Transport by the excellent development in the activities by NHAI and Low fare air service.
So its time for railway to concentrate on excellent customer service and giving more important to fright movements by eliminating the inefficiency by upgrading technology, effective recruitment process, increase the trains in high density routes

I really surprised when I saw the Railways Mission Statement.
Safety
Security
Cleanliness
Punctual

But they are still lack in this. No body can refuse the service provided by railways for its passenger service in the low fare, but People are looking more development in the railways as a Partner and a loyal customer to retain its leader position in the transport.

Brian Charles Lara –The Legend.

If somebody talking about cricket where ever & when ever, I used to start spoke about lara, Most of the times I spoke about only lara than other players. In the recent days I am extremely reduced taking about lara after seeing blood in most of my friend ears . I tried to watch all his matches as much as possible, but I missed some his matches in recent times. He is one of the gentleman in the gentlemen game. I have never seen him talking against umpire decision and hurting other players. (Except hitting the bowls to boundaries and sixes).

I never forget some of the classic matches played by Lara with tough teams like Australia, South Africa and Sri lanka, but so far he didn’t play well against India. He is the man not only known for higher scores also for ducks. Even excellent bowlers like Wasim Akram, Glenn Mcgrath, Shane Warne and Muralidaran afraid to bowl for lara.(but he lost his wicket so many time in Tendulkar bowling) . He is "The ONE" (Run Machine) for west Indies team.

Cricketers in Australia have voted Lara `The most dangerous' bat ahead of proven masters like Sachin Tendulkar and Sanath Jayasuriya.

A picture of poise at the crease, Lara presents the positive side of batsmanship even in times of duress. Not the one to be pushed into a corner by pace and bounce, he has revelled in dominating bowlers with an aura of arrogance that also marks his game. With the high back-lift, eyes glowing and in a flashing moment capturing the field placements, ready to decimate the bowler, Lara can be an intimidating sight for the opposition. He plays hard, without trespassing the spirit of the game, very competitive, but equally sporting. You can trust him to walk even at 99

Lara can be devastating with the bat even when conditions favour the bowlers. Not many batsmen can claim to be comfortable on pitches conducive to bowlers but Lara has remained an exception on various counts. The surface does not matter, for Lara is known to `kill' the ball with his ability to spot the line and length with ample time at his disposal. Lara has remained an enigma. A great performer, a batsman with an astonishing range of strokes and the ability to put the bowlers in their place.

Lara's batting has remained one of the lasting joys in cricket. Bowlers know they cannot give Lara any room, for he can pounce on the smallest of openings. The ease with which he gets into position to execute a stroke is a fascinating experience, even for those who happen to be at the receiving end.

Lara has scripted some amazing assaults on the bowlers. How often do you see a batsman cut or pull the first ball on arriving at the crease? Lara can be trusted to dismiss a bad ball with contempt regardless of the time he would have spent in the middle. And once he settles down, his dainty footwork in place, and timing blessed with a divine touch, even the best of deliveries can be summarily buried under the avalanche of Lara's breathtaking stroke-play

"Lara is a good player against average bowling sides and a great one against formidable attacks but when harassed into a corner by his own brinksmanship or if he's targeted, he elevates himself into a genius." This statement given by Steve Waugh.

SUN NETWORK IPO Offer Special Review (Sirappu Parvai)

Sun Network, India's second largest television network has power packed Fourteen TV channels, Four FM Radio Stations, Two Daily Newspapers and Four Magazines in several Indian languages. Sun Network is having highest market share in the TV media in the all south Indian states.

Mr.Kalanithi maran CMD of Sun Network is a great business man, we can easily realize this if you look at the tremendous growth of Sun network. Even though his political background helped lot, without his business strategy its not possible to attract the audience.

Sun Network is having several positive factors like having huge audience in South India, Diversified channels, FM radio and also in print media. Doing right things in right time is the strategy behind the success of this media giant. Even though its having great political support, nobody can refuse the Mr. Kalanithi maran used that in the effective way.

Sun TV is the pioneer channel which brings all the entertainment programs to south India like Ungal Choice, Nerukku Ner, Kodeeswaran and “MEGA” serials ( Sithi…). They utilized the Conditional access system extremely well to sell there set of box and they had full control of cable network in Chennai.(but TN govt took over the control proposed by special act)

Kungumam promotion offer was well known to all because the freebies cost was more than the magazine price. Recently introduced daily news paper “TAMIL murasu is also attracting more people.

Media Pollution:

Most of the private channels are creating media pollution, particularly Sun network in the South India by fully focusing entertainment like Cinema, Mega serials and game shows. They are exploiting the mass population by their media for the personal benefits like surrogate political campaign and Is it a good way considering media as a only profit making business.

Some time its really surprising some news telecast in this channel like “SIRAPPU PARVAI”(reason for my title) to show their social concern with sad background music and voice, Thousands of people belongs to local cool drinks companies losing their job because of MNC cool drinks companies, these MNC are spoiling the Indian natural resources, but the news itself sponsored by leading Multi National cool drinks company and during the tsunami attack they fully concentrated in the political issues rather than showing the real position. At the same time NDTV gave more information about the Tsunami relief activities.


Some them used to compare to compare Doordarshan with private channels and criticizing about their programs, but the fact is Doordarshan is the only channel which give society interested programs related to Indian culture, Education and Agriculture. Even the name “Pothigai” also suited by people.(like to remind so called tamil activist this is the real tamil name). So its ridiculous to compare Doordarshan with private channels. But it will be better if doordarshan improves its technology and program timings for at least to retain their existing audience.

Here is the good topic for Visu's ARATTAI ARANGAM (Really)
Is the private TV channels are – real social media or for profit making business or campaign media for their benefit or slow poison of middle class people time

But its surprising the hear information about IPO. Most of the venture capitalist approached Sun Network for because it is the high profit making channel and they refused for IPO at that times, but now they are ready for that, It shows so far they enjoyed the high “Return” now there are looking for somebody for take their “RISK

The Street Lawyer Review

The Street Lawyer
BY John Grisham

It is the first John Grisham novel which I read. This Novel shows another part of US life which most them don’t know. This entire novel speaks about HOMELESS people in US. Michael Brock was a lawyer in leading law firm Drake & Sweeney in Washington D C, which have more the 400 attorneys. As a hero of this novel MR. Brock earns $300 per hour.

His wife Claire is a doctor and concentrates more on career and earning more money like her husband. So initial part of the story itself author trying to say they are going get divorce in future (its happened also)

“MISTER” is the guest role and who represents for homeless people. He visits to this law firm and brought all the 400 attorneys in his custody asking effective questions to the lawyers like their salary, their social contribution and he narrate the life style of homeless people to the lawyers ( which going to change our hero’s character and give meaning to this novel title) and finally he shot dead by police.
Mr. Brock realizes about the life style of homeless people and resigns the job from the firm to become a street lawyer. He joins with Mr. .Mordecai Green, who is already working for homeless people. At this stage Grisham superbly described the inconsistent life of the homeless people like struggling for food, shelter, facing lot of difficulties given by the police without any proper reason and he describe how US government act against this people like, removed homeless people from Atlanta's streets before the Summer Games. So Mr. Brock decides to protect the homeless people from the police and government for any price (this is indication for, he is going to involve in illegal activities)
Mr. Brock works for homeless people day & night. Interestingly he finds out the real estate firms are trying to remove the homeless people where they stayed for long time. Some leading law firms (including drake & Sweeney) provide legal assistance to this real estate firms against the homeless people. He is looking for some evidence to prove this and finally he steal the important file from his previous office (Drake & Sweeney). D&S sue against him for theft the file.
So in the climax Mr. Brock put more points against the government, Real estate and legal firms how they are acting against homeless people and society to earn more MONEY. As we expected Judgment more favored to our hero and judge suggests government to take proper activities for improve the homeless people. Adding to this Drake & Sweeney chairman also changes his mind and accepts to provide legal assistance to the homeless people. So novel ends with 400 attorney’s legal support to the homeless people.

I like the way the author delivered the message.If u have more time its worth to read this novel

The Great Chettinad

Karaikudi and 74 other villages comprise Chettinad, the homeland of the Nattukottai Chettiars. The Chettiars were a prosperous banking community who ventured overseas to do business in South and Southeast Asia in the 19th and early 20th centuries

The Nagarathar Community originated in Cauvery Poompatinam under the chola kingdom. Even though this community is small in size their achievement is great.Basically the community concentrated on business, especially money lending business

Nagarathar give great importance to music, Dance, and Paintings. the nagarathars were very much intersted in architecture (some of the Houses contains 1000 windows).This houses have marvelous interior design. So many tamil movies are taken in this houses (Particularly for NATTAMAI’s & PANNAIYAR’s)

Cettinad food is very famous for its taste and varieties like Ukkarai, Kandarappam, Karupatti Paniyaram, Kavanarisi, Pal Paniyaram, Thenkulal and Seepu seedakai

They actively involved in Tamil development activities in all over the world. Major part tamil’s are belongs to Chettiar’s in Singapore, Malaysia and Srilanka.

Chettiars are one of the Indian communities that still practice traditional aspects of arranged marriages.

Money lending is the primary business for Nagarathar, But they involved in several other business and showed their excellence. Three banks are established by chettiars include the Indian Overseas Bank, Bank of cettinad and Bank of Madurai.

We can find many schools, colleges and General hospitals in cettinad region which shows their involvement in social development activities. They spent part of their profit for Temple constructions and tamil development.
