I have always lived without budget in my bachelor life, which was till last year!
I have lived a lavish life till date, but after marriage I see a sudden change in my life that we have to live under the budget. First of all, the new fact is introduced that I need to prepare a budget for every month and live accordingly.
I have heard previously that more expenses would be there than the income - mostly after marriage!
If you are a bachelor now, please take this 2 cents of advice from me - Go ahead and start saving, while you enjoy your life. I am not telling you to just save, without enjoying your life - but start saving, while you have good time...
It is more valuable to have the money saved in your early days, rather than later. Rs.500 per month in bachelor life is more valuable than Rs.5000 per month in your 40 years of your life! This is a fact and everybody accepts it!
There are couple of ways we can increase your income -
(i) look for a better lucrative job
(ii) work hard in the company you are currently working and aim for a hike in the current job or get promoted
(iii) While you are on job, look for extra income
(iv) Start doing business - More risks you take, there is more possibility of gains as well.
(v) Most importantly reduce your unwanted expenses. That is one most important point of view - which most of the indians try to follow.

Software Services is a best business - Anytime and NOW
The majority of small and medium-sized companies cannot do business without their PCs and internet connections, according to a survey.
A report by security company McAfee and IT outsourcer WireworX found that 84 per cent of those questioned rated PCs and the internet as " indispensable" to their everyday working life.
But despite this level of dependency, four out of five companies are unhappy with the levels of support provided by IT vendors, and only 14.5 per cent are completely satisfied with all aspects of the purchase and support process.
This shows a right gap for fitting in to do the service business of software. It is even great if it is started in Trichy, to leverage more advantages!!

5 ways to start a company (without quitting your day job)
I found an interesting business link from CNN Money.com, which is very useful for like minded people like us!! -
Excerpts from the article are -
Odds are, however, that you're still working for someone else. Maybe it's because you're afraid to give up that steady paycheck. Perhaps you're simply terrified by the thought of placing yourself at the mercy of greedy investors, cutthroat competitors, and a potentially indifferent marketplace. Whatever the reason, it's clear that there's a lot of unrequited entrepreneurial longing out there.

Remembering PTR Palanivelrajan's dream for Trichy!
N. Nanmaran (CPI-M), said the best tribute one could pay Palanivel Rajan was to make sure that all his dreams came true. He wanted a Central Institute of Medical Sciences (on the lines of the one in Pondicherry) and an Information Technology Park established in Trichy.

Ideas for Government - Trichy Collector Udhayachandran
I recently came across this website -
Ideas for Government
I thought this might be useful for any city governance.
Probably, if Udhayachandran, Trichy Collector takes a look at it, it might be helpful.
By the way - Did you know about Trichy Collector?
Did his B.E., in Namakkal. In 1995, he completed his I.A.S. In 1996, he took charge in Kanchipuram. In 1997, he was a sub-collector in Paramakkudi. In 1999, in Kancheepuram, he was a DRDA planning officer. In 2001, INCOSERV Kunnoor Managing Director. He worked in TASMARC. He was also in fact - Chennai Deputy Commissioner.
He was also the managing director of ELCOT company. This is the first time he is becoming a collector and that too for Trichy, after his 11 years IAS career.
He has taken pledge of getting Trichy a place in the map of Information Technology of India.
Simply Great!! Trichy is all set for becoming the first IT hub for the south tamil nadu region!! We are too excited about this fact!!!!

'Both the Central and State Governments are planing to increase employment opportunities through the IT sector and also planning to attract more IT companies into Tamilnadu,' he added.

Speciality of Aravind Hospital - Dr. V's vision
Aravind Eye Hospitals are the expression of a vision quest, a response to the silent call of thousands who have lost their sight.
Under the leadership of Dr. G. Venkataswamy(popularly known as Dr.V), Aravind Eye Hospital was founded in Trichy in 1976 with the mission to eradicate needless blindness in Tamilnadu.
Now in its 25th year, Aravind's innovative eye care delivery system is recognised as a model for other developing countries. Much importance is given to ensure that all patients are accorded the same care and high quality service, regardless of their economic status. As a result of a unique fee system and effective management, Aravind is able to provide free eye care to two-thirds of its patients from the revenue generated from the other third of its paying patients.

I found this website different because of his(A Gentleman called Balachandran) opinions - sometimes it is amateurish and sometimes valid.
His articles are with pictures and it matches too.

Another thing I noted about this person is he is Pro-Jayalalitha - Pro-ADMK!

Job market is looking really hot in southern districts of Tamil Nadu
The outsourcing game is really missing something these days in Metros. The cost of living and business has become expensive these days in the metros like Chennai, Hyderabad, Bangalore etc., for all the software businesses - which work on onsite and offshore model.
This model is nothing but have very few consultants onsite for coordination and get all of the work done by the offshore team in India. That seem to become expensive in Metros too.
So now, industry experts feel that - now industrialist and entrepreuners are looking for investing in Tier II and Tier III cities like Trichy, Coimbatore etc., which is wonderful!
There are so many good colleges in the southern districts of Tamil Nadu and it can definitely serve the man power needs very clearly.
In the next three years time - we are looking for good amount of placements(including campus placements) in Trichy, new industries - especially software businesses. If you are a software engineer - you can find a job in Trichy very shortly.
Many manufacturing and service industry companies are looking upto IT businesses to help in their businesses - for higher productivity and in more revenue generation.
Also about the retention of the employees - it is more about keeping them busy with challenging work - It is the only way you can keep them with your company, and prevent them from moving to the metros. We cannot get deposit or have them sign in contracts etc.,
Anyway, Going great for Tier II and Tier III cities like Trichy.
Made In Trichy Team is very happy about this.
High Hopes for Trichy in the new rule
The Tamil Nadu Chamber of Commerce and Industry - President S Rethinavelu said in a press release - He hopes that the state and the central governments would work together in implementing various projects, including Nanguneri Special Economic Zone - Trichy IT Park and transformation of Trichy airport into an international airport and a four-way project.
Great to hear and we hope that these thing happen and our Trichy becomes prosperous, during this period!

Knowledge is power - A nice inspirational story
WHERE TO TAP
Ever heard the story of the giant ship engine that failed? The ship's owners tried one expert after another, but none of them could figure but how to fix the engine. Then they brought in an old man who had been fixing ships since he was a youngster. He carried a large bag of tools with him, and when he arrived, he immediately went to work. He inspected the engine very carefully, top to bottom.
Two of the ship's owners were there, watching this man, hoping he would know what to do. After looking things over, the old man reached into his bag and pulled out a small hammer. He gently tapped something. Instantly, the engine lurched into life. He carefully put his hammer away. The engine was fixed! A week later, the owners received a bill from the old man for ten thousand dollars.
"What?!" the owners exclaimed. "He hardly did anything!"
So they wrote the old man a note saying, "Please send us an itemized bill."
The man sent a bill that read:
Tapping with a hammer ........................ $ 2.00
Knowing where to tap ............................ $ 9998.00
Effort is important, but knowing where to make an effort in your life makes all the difference.
Received this as a forward from my BiL.

Helping Akshaya Rehabilitation Trust Trichy through New Trichy Foundation
Thanks to The Hindu - A Newspaper publication and Ms.Krishnan(Hindu Article author) for photo and part of the article taken and pasted in Trichy Times for a good cause. Thank You...******
THREE YEARS ago a young man on vacation was cycling through the streets of Trichy when he came across a person sitting under a bridge eating his own waste. The stark desperation of the sight shook him profoundly and drastically altered the course of his life.
Today, 23-year-old Krishnan cooks and distributes food to at least a hundred people on the streets of Trichy. Each day he starts at 5.30 a.m. and ends at 10.30 p.m. offering breakfast, lunch and dinner.
Service his style leaves little space for anything else. He doesn't read the newspapers or watch television. He doesn't go out with friends or take vacations. But he can cut a kilo of onions in four minutes flat and make 100 different varieties of pickle. His fragrant, homemade `garam masala' has 30 separate ingredients in it. He regrets nothing.
A week after the encounter under the bridge, Krishnan, known to family and friends as Kishore, resigned from a high-salaried position with a leading luxury hotel in Bangalore. A position he had spent years training for and dreaming of.
"I felt I had unfinished work in Trichy," he says simply.
He returned home and told his anxious family that he intended to feed people on the street, who couldn't feed themselves. He began that very same day, starting with the man under the bridge.
We decided to help Akshaya Krishnan, as part of our efforts on helping downtrodden and under-privileged Trichy to build a New Trichy.
Read the above Article here
We have been helping with Rs.2500 for Akshaya, but we could not give anything for the past 2 months. Please help us for helping Akshaya by - Donating.... After donating, please send a mail to newtrichy@gmail.com, for our reference and records.
Here is a photo of our New Trichy Foundation members handing over the cheque to Akshaya Krishnan.
Thank You

“Because of the poverty of the region, no one wants to start any new industry here. There were four textile mills which once provided 18,000 jobs, now only 1,500 are employed in these mills. In Trichy, once there were 50,000 handloom workers, now there are only about 3,000. Rural unemployment is the single largest problem today. The All India Anna Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (AIADMK) at a stroke of the pen sacked 10,000 road construction workers, attempted to retrench 200,000 government staff following a general strike,” said.

Pragmatism from Bhagavad Gita
1. Why do you uselessly worry? Of whom are you needlessly afraid? Who can kill you? The Atma is neither born nor does it die.
2. Whatever happened in the past is for your good. Whatever is happening now is also good and whatever happens in the future is, that too, will be good. Do not have regrets about the past. Do not worry about the future. The presence is flowing effortlessly.
3. What have you lost that makes you weep? What did you bring into this life that you have lost? What did you nurture that has been destroyed. You brought nothing into this life and nothing you take while you are here can you take with you when you depart. Whatever you took or gave, you did so only here and only from Bhagavan. You came into the world empty-handed, and will leave empty-handed. What is yours today was another persons yesterday and the day after tomorrow is will belong to someone else. You think all this is yours because you are identified with this existence. Alas, is it this materialistic attachment that is the cause of your unhappiness.
4. Change is the law of the Universe. What you think of as death is actually real life. In a moment you become rich. The next moment you are poor. Yours and mine, small and large, ours and theirs: banish these petty thoughts from your mind! Here everything is yours and you belong to everyone else.
5. Neither is the body yours, nor do you belong to this body. This body is made of the five elements: earth, air, water, fire and space, and someday is will return from whence it came. But the atma is firm and immoral. What then are you?
6. Surrender yourself to the Lord. He will be your greatest help and comfort. The person who knows this is unafraid, does not worry and is free from sorrow.
7. Whatever you do, surrender it at the feet of the Lord. When you do this you will know the bliss of one who is free from the cycle of births and deaths.
Literate Trichy Project
I believe one person is considered as literate, if he/she is able to read/write Tamil. In addition to this if he/she is able to read/write English too, that is great. We will work towards only the first point. Trichy current literacy rate is 79%. While moving towards perfection, we will have to make it 100% literacy. More awareness we have, more we can achieve. As it is universally known, Knowledge is Power. Whenever we think of improving a city, I think first thing we should do is increase the literacy rate. As a next step, increase the number of successful entrepreneurs. That apart, in order to work out 100% literacy rate, we will have to identify, whom we will have to target. The target segments of people for beneficiary are children, youth, men women, senior citizens.
I personally know one of my relatives, who have sent two sons to work, terminating their school studies, while they were performing well in studies.
I would start thinking from why would a parent not send a child to school or why a child would not be interested in coming to school.
1) Ignorance - Many parents are not aware of the importance of education for children and a reading habit of a child.
2) Less Motivation - Due to the ignorance, they feel “what is the use of the education?!”. Parents and children are less motivated about education.
3) Poverty - Since there is not much to feed all of the family members, it is a compulsion to create more earning hands to feed all the mouths. So children are sent to work.
There might be much more, but let us restrict with these points for our focus.
In addition to the children and youth, we will have to educate the adults too, for more awareness, so that we can move forward together.
Educating Women is the most important part in this project. For every society, every woman’s education is very important. If we educate a woman, we educate a family.

Tamil Media is polarized a lot!
Till now, only televisions in tamil nadu were polarized. But now, even newspapers are polarized. There is no popular media, which is non-polarized.
Considering the fact that we are a democratic country, public considers that the media is a very important tool to make some important decisions like voting etc.,
Sun TV has a huge list of media power, which was stated in one of our earlier tamil nadu political news article.
Jaya TV is also associated with a political party.
Now, a low profit earning Tamil Newspaper is taken over by SUN Network and gets it to people for just a rupee! This has made destruction to the future of the other tamil newspapers - dina thanthi(daily thanthi), dinamalar etc.,
If you notice, these newspapers are towards AIADMK these days and against DMK.
Actress Shilpa Shetty and Reema Sen's reaction
Actor Shilpa Shetty reacts to the non-bailable arrest warrant issued against her by a Trichy court.
A local court in Trichy on Friday issued non-bailable warrants against actresses Shilpa Shetty and Reema Sen for 'posing in an obscene manner' in photographs published in a Tamil eveninger.
"I think there are more important and crucial issues that need to be tackled. Such issues certainly don't deserve headlines. And frankly, I haven't received any summons from the court. Even if something like this happens, I have full faith in our judiciary,"she says.
"It's a democratic country. What I do is my concern as long as I know where to draw the line and not offend anybody,"she says and adds as an afterthought, "As far as my photographs go, what is obscene about it? If navel-showing is obscenity, then our traditional Indian outfit - the traditional sari -too should be banned."
So, how does Shilpa define obscenity? "It is the way one perceives it. Sometimes, shooting in the rain can look obscene if it is not shot aesthetically. Or a short skirt can look sexy, if it's shot in a tasteful way. It depends on certain camera angles,"she explains.
Well, what do you think? It is a mistake by the eveninger, but why does the police/court behind this actress!!?? Not sure...
Latest News straight from Trichy
Election Observers withdrawn:
Three election observers have been withdrawn from three constituencies in Trichy district following complaints against them by political parties.
The three observers are Rupram Jowal (Samayanallur), Ameet Jha (Tiruparankunram) and Aswini Kumar (Trichy east) would not be given any election related work in Tamil Nadu or anywhere else.
The Returning of a missing dalit candidate:
The Dalit Makkal Peravai president, P Muthukrishnan, contesting as an independent candidate from the Samayanalur constituency, returned home today after he went missing on April 28. It is claimed that he was kidnapped by the ruling party folks and kept near bangalore.
Voters are confused:
It is found that voters are confused about whom to vote now, considering so many materialistic promises from all the political parties. If one claims to provide 1 KG rice for 2 Rs., another claims to provide 10KGs for free and another for 15 Kgs for free. One gives Color TV, another gives Free mobile phone. One gives unemployement benefits. One gives gold for a poor daughter's marriage. etc., etc.,
Nobody had claimed that they would give employment opportunities, proper education. Well, if we see from a marketing perspective, the market and prospects they are aiming for is just poor people from 54% voting percentage of people.
Only God has to Tamil Nadu!!
