Forgotten Mahatma Gandhi??
As on date - there is not much talk about Mahatma Gandhi and he is not mentioned to children very often, unlike what used to happen to people of my age...
Anyway - here are Gandhi's views regarding the Bhagavad Gita!
The Gita is the universal mother. She turns away nobody. Her door is wide open to anyone who knocks. A true votary of Gita does not know what disappointment is. He ever dwells in perennial joy and peace that passeth understanding. But that peace and joy come not to skeptic or to him who is proud of his intellect or learning. It is reserved only for the humble in spirit who brings to her worship a fullness of faith and an undivided singleness of mind. There never was a man who worshipped her in that spirit and went disappointed. I find a solace in the Bhagavad-Gita that I miss even in the Sermon on the Mount. When disappointment stares me in the face and all alone I see not one ray of light, I go back to the Bhagavad-Gita. I find a verse here and a verse there , and I immediately begin to smile in the midst of overwhelming tragedies -- and my life has been full of external tragedies -- and if they have left no visible or indelible scar on me, I owe it all to the teaching of Bhagavad-Gita.

100% Health Fitness ToDo - Daily
Just like brushing your teeth, healthy habits should be cultivated on a daily basis. The following is a guide to daily tasks:
1. Activity should be a daily occurrence. Walk, run or jump for a minimum total of 20 minutes a day.
2. Protect your skin. Sun block should be applied on face, neck, arms and hands even in the dead of winter. It protects against climatic toxins too. Moisturize skin daily.
3. Eat fruits, vegetables, grains, low-fat dairy products and small amounts of protein. Avoid sweets and other processed foods.
4. Meditate or spend a minimum of five minutes daily in quiet time.
5. Find your spiritual self. Discover what inspires you, raises your level of consciousness, motivates you, and satisfies your soul.
6. Exercise your brain. Read, study, solve problems, and learn new skills. As does the body, the brain atrophies with lack of use.
7. Hug somebody.

Dental Care - Take Care of your teeth!
DENTAL CARE is very important - right from the young age - otherwise you will repent for it later....
Eating sugar, as you probably already know, is a major cause of tooth decay. But it's not just how much sugar you eat - when and how you eat it can be just as important to keeping teeth healthy.
When you eat sugary foods or drink sodas frequently throughout the day, the enamel that protects your teeth is constantly exposed to acids. Hard candies, cough drops, and breath mints that contain sugar are especially harmful because they dissolve slowly in your mouth. Many experts suggest that you take a 3-hour break between eating foods containing sugar.
Sugary or starchy foods eaten with a meal are less harmful to your teeth than when they're eaten alone, possibly because the production of saliva, which washes away the sugar and bacteria, is increased. Eating sugary foods before you go to bed can be the most damaging (especially if you don't brush your teeth afterward) because you don't produce as much saliva when you sleep.
For most people, it's hard to cut out sweets completely, so try to follow these more realistic guidelines:
* Eat carbohydrates (sugars and starches) with a meal.
* If you can't brush your teeth after eating, rinse your mouth with water or mouthwash, or chew sugarless gum.
* Don't eat sugary foods between meals.
* If you snack, eat nonsugary foods, such as cheese, popcorn, raw veggies, or yogurt.

Google/Yahoo/MapQuest Maps???!!!!
When it comes to usage of maps for all driving directions, I use Yahoo Maps.
Previously, I used to use Google maps, but I noticed there were many flaws. We got lost in the middle of our trips using google maps.
I did not realize till I noticed yahoo maps beta version. I am impressed with it.
BTW, if I have to avoid any highways or avoid local roads or shortest distance or shortest time etc., then I open MapQuest also in addition to my yahoo map.
I hope this is helpful! But, atlast it boils down to which one you are comfortable with. It is up to you!!
Happy Mapping and Happy Driving!!:-)

Company Name Publicity and Also community participation - corporate social consciousness
I was asked a question - what would we do if we have to get the company name out and at the same time do some good work like Community Help or Social Service... Here was my answer -
(i) We can donate money (like Rs.100 per head per month from a company) to any recognized Non-Profit organization as charity. If we just give money to them, our second purpose of getting our name popular is not done very effectively. Please read other three points, which I think it is good.
(ii) We could do a rally on a Saturday or Sunday for two hours for a social cause (ex: Donate Eyes or AIDS) with – (i) the company T-shirt ON and have a banner which states the cause and at the same time have the mentioned in the banners. Also, we need to have a Press (Notice) Release for this event. This will be effective for getting both our needs fulfilled.
(iii) We could arrange for a small medical camp or any public activity (which many people on road will see) in the city, while our banners are up. Also most importantly, we should have a quick press (notice) release for this event. This will be very effective as well.
(iv) Last one – we could have a small kiosk – anywhere near any "Hi-Tech City" or "Tidel Park" kind of a place – having our banners on – for collecting funds for a particular cause – sometime on a Sunday(in case of theatres) OR early evenings on a weekday(in case of IT Tech City Parks).
Do you agree?!

Information about H4 visa person getting a driver's license
The information and documents you need for H-4 visa person getting a driver's license in the USA -
1) Person valid passport
2) Person H-4 valid form – I-797 etc
3) Proof of address in US – you can get this by the medical insurance company bills, her insurance card etc, bank accounts (if she has one)
Bank account is preferably a right choice.
4) Apart from all the above, I recommend to have the Tax ID. Since this is anyway needed by you for next year tax filing.

Good luck.

Gist of Bhagavad Gita!
Gist of Bhagavad-Gita:
* Why do you uselessly worry? Of whom are you needlessly afraid? Who can kill you? The Atma is neither born nor does it die.
* 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.
* 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.
* 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.
* 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?
* 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.
* 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.

H4 Visa women are vulnerable?
I was really worried, surprised and shocked to read this story/article...
LIFE for Ritu will never be the same again. Ever since coming to the United States to join her husband, a software engineer, she has been abused by the man, his mother and his brother; a cycle of physical, psychological, sexual, and financial abuse. She is not allowed to leave their one-bedroom apartment in New York without a family member in tow. Most days are spent cooking, cleaning, and wondering whether her husband will give her money to buy a course of antibiotics for their eight-month-old son. "I do not ask for anything for myself, not even a pair of chappals," she told me when I met her in connection with a survey of women on the H-4 visa. "But this is our baby, his baby. I need only $7 for Sarthik, for ear medicine."
For the past nine days Sarthik has been crying incessantly. The most surprising element of her story is that Ritu is a doctor.

How to get rid of strange anonymous phone calls?
I am going through this problem and I thought I would share with all of you about how to get rid of this problem...
I am getting this call over the weekends - sometimes the number is displayed as a caller id or sometimes it is restricted/unavailable number. He calls me in strange hours and starts scolding me with bad words!!! not sure who is he - sounds spanish accent!
Anyway - here are the things I have done and planned to do...
Step 1: Call the Cell phone company and convey the phone number you see as caller id. Tell them that you don't know this person and request them to block this number.
Step 2: If the call continues - when you get the restricted number call - then just call the cell phone company immediately and tell them to block the number you got just now.
Step 3: If the call continues - then just call the police to report this problem!
It is upto you to jump to Step 3 anytime during this process. Don't get worried or harrassed!!

If you love your work - no problem at all!
If you love your work, there won't be any problem at all.
Most of your day is spent on the work and if you concentrate properly, everybody is going to be impressed by your work. They will all appreciate you for your work. You are going to be very much satisfied due to your work.
Since you are happy at work - your personal life (married or unmarried) will be great! Your character is refined, once you are disciplined in work.
You achieve in your life to the most!!
This thought came up, when I was watching the Sivaji Ganesan's statue opening ceremony. I was thinking why he was admired most! I mean the cause - It was because he was concentrating on his job and loved his job the most! He achieved what he wanted and more than that!!

Just kidding?!
Some people say something which could hurt somebody!
They wanted to convey something, which might not be very desirable and once they deliver those words to the other party - they realize that the other party is hurt.
Once they realize, they back off saying - "I was just kidding". That is not fair.
We should have realized that before delivering those hurting words.
Do not hurt others, when you know that they won't like it!!

Few lessons and thoughts I had in my mind...
(1) No praying of priests/saints - instead pray gods!
(2) Never quit or don't loose your heart - keep trying and you will hit the success point!
(3)Marketing message - Say about the problem/solution and about the customers. what you can solve for the customer or what is the value addition by your solution - but not about what you do and what are good at! Realized this...

Couple of tips on personal finance!!
Couple of tips on personal finance:
(i) If you are buying a property - Make sure that you have taken Mortgage for not more than 30% of your salary.
(ii) If you are planning to invest in stocks - use this calculation for a percentage of investment: Subtract your age from the 100. The remaining is the percentage you should use.
(iii) Do not invest more than 10% of your stock in your employer's company!

Web based Calendar Magic - Google and Microsoft work very nice on this
I was scheduling a meeting using my MSN mail id and I sent a meeting request to couple of my colleagues. I sent one to myself as well to a gmail account.
I was amazed to see the mail I received in gmail.
Google Mail showed me like - as if there is a meeting scheduled using Gmail only. Looks like the format sent by the MSN mail was understood by the Gmail! Isn't that wonderful??!! I never expected this to happen.
In fact, I was able to accept the meeting request from Gmail and the request came back to MSN mail.
FYI - you can work on www.google.com/calendar to make yourself effective by scheduling and having a Calendar for ToDo. Most important thing is - anywhere in the world you can open - if you have the internet access!!

FYI - you can work on www.google.com/calendar to make yourself effective by scheduling and having a Calendar for ToDo. Most important thing is - anywhere in the world you can open - if you have the internet access!!

Secondly, Assignment of the tasks from the project. Timely and periodical status of the project has to be shared top to bottom and left to right in the hierarchy.

Thirdly, if any issues, based up on the priority and severity of the issues, it has to be escalated and discussed, talked, brainstormed to kill that issue/bug.
Either by instant messenger or email or postal mail or phone or web/video conference - whatever it may be - the information has to be shared and communicated, if we have to collectively achieve something together as a team.

Trichy - Fourth position in AIDS!
I was shocked to hear this news that Trichy stands at fourth position in AIDS - that is high HIV prevalence.
Trichy follows - three other places. They are -
Namakkal
Tirunelveli
Theni
If you closely notice - there is not much distance between these places.
Trichy, Tirunelveli and Theni are nearby - with Trichy as centre!
Why is this case with Trichy? Is it because there is no proper entertainment than the cinema theatres? Is it because of the climate of Trichy? Is it because of the attitude and brought-up of children? Is it because of the illetracy or unemployment?
This leads to lot of other social issues we have in Trichy. Anyway, we hope government will take and is taking appropriate measures to correct this and we hope Collector or government official will read about this article sometime or other...
More importantly, people should work towards this, while government takes and plans some actions.

AJAX in Customer Satisfied Technologies
We have decided to use AJAX for implementing the user interfaces of all of our products in Customer Satisfied Technologies, except SurveyMAC.
AJAX, shorthand for Asynchronous JavaScript and XML, is a Web development technique for creating interactive web applications. The intent is to make web pages feel more responsive by exchanging small amounts of data with the server behind the scenes, so that the entire web page does not have to be reloaded each time the user makes a change. This is meant to increase the web page's interactivity, speed, and usability.
AJAX is currently a popular talked about user interface technology/framework and used by almost all of the Web 2.0 companies.
Please have your fingers crossed for our products to be released with cool looks!!

Traffic congestion poses continuous problem in the Temple City Trichy
Narrow roads, encroachments and increasing number of automobiles are posing heavy traffic congestion in Trichy city. This problem becomes worse when police block roads during VIP visits.
Whenever a VIP convoy passes through, all roads in the VIP route are blocked. Diversions are made, forcing the vehicle users to take circuitous routes. School vehicles, public carriers and even ambulances get stuck, during VIP visits.
A senior police official said that blocking traffic cannot be done as a matter of rule in any case, other than the visits of the President, Prime Minister and those covered under Special Protection Group (SPG) and 'Z-Plus' category of security cover. He said that even in such cases traffic should be allowed along one way (in the opposite direction) if there is a median. He added that though there is no specific guideline on blocking traffic, they are usually clearing the road for the convoy, considering the threat perceptions and intelligence inputs.

How do you want to divide your Salary?
How do you spend and save from whatever you get as your take-home salary? Here are our thoughts...
Say for example your salary is $100.
Ideal scenario, I could think of -
60% for your operating expenses,
10% for your loan payments like house, car, bike, giving back any pending study loan, any property etc.,
20% for your savings and just savings,
6% for any accidental expenses - anytime it might come up,
2% of your salary should go for buying books,
2% for helping someone, charity and donation.
This is a very comfortable life scenario...What do you say?

2% for helping someone, charity and donation.
This is a very comfortable life scenario...What do you say?

Giving something extra in business
When we buy a product or commodity in a super market, if the vendor or shop owner gives you something extra or chocolates free - psychologically we tend to go to the same shop to buy in the same shop. Same thing applies to every business.
If you are running a business, give something extra and free to the customer, whenever he drops by - that makes the customer loyal to you and he/she will just come to your shop and nowhere.

Enterprise Rental Car Company Customer Treatment
I took a rental car from Enterprise Rental Car company and I was very happy with one of their gesture.
I called up this company's customer service and they said they will pick us up from our home and even drop us back to our home from the rental car place. Isn't that a wonderful feature or service they provide to the customers.
In fact, I was very happy about that feature - When someone is taking a rental car - 80% of the reason would be that the customer does not have a car, but he/she is licensed to drive and want to go places. So, considering this it perfectly makes perfect sense to have this service and I am sure many people will like this service.
If any other rental car company does not provide this service, please take this up. It is worth trying. BTW, I will go only to Enteprise, since they have pleased me!!:-)
This is my opinion - not of any organization.

Dr.V - Govindappa Venkataswamy, born on October 1, 1918 at Vadamalapuram in Tuticorin district, had a vision - was providing world-class eye care at affordable cost to people in the hinterland. He achieved this with the evolution of the `Aravind Eye Care System,' now followed in many developed and developing nations, from the Aravind Eye Hospital founded by him. He was a legend in the community of ophthalmologists and a pioneer in conducting mass free eye camps since the early 1970s.

What are the reasons for the name Customer Satisfied Technologies?
What are the reasons for the name Customer Satisfied Technologies(under construction)?
Customer Satisfied is kind of an unique term, which is not termed for any organization or institution or enterprise or a company.
All of our products are going to be customer centric. Whatever we produce will be for getting our client's customer satisfied.
Hence the name CustomerSatisfied!
Why haven't we kept the name - "of one word" like Oracle or Sun?
It does not matter for us - Take an example of SalesForce.com or MicroSoft- which is not one word name - it has two words and they are generic terms and these individual terms (sales and force) are very well widely used in the business language. We are also in the same lines. As long as our name is unique and we are identified by the quality of our products and value-added services, we are fine.
Last reason?
The domain name was available, with a name Customer on it. We could not leave that go.
Check out www.customersatisfied.com
Please note that we are working on the top header links - so those links won't work. The site is still under construction....

Karuvaadu (karuvadu) - dried fish from Trichy!
Nitham nitham nelluchchoru
nei manakkum kathirikkaa

ingu manakkudhayyaaa...
Yesterday my wife made Karuvaadu varuvall - Dried Fish Fry!!
She did for first time and it was great...
It is highly mouth watering and I enjoyed it to the core....
Whenever I think of karuvadu, I think of my mom, who used to cook in Trichy for me - just for me.
If you are in USA, you can get dried fish in any Vietnamese grocery store. I guess, that should apply in any country.

Hate Pets as wild animals
It is a good habit to have pets and shower love on the pet animals.
But I am not able to digest a fact about people rearing wild animals as pet animals.
No Offence to people who have pets. I am not against having pet animals, but the wild animals as pets is not acceptable.
I was going for a walk this morning, but I had to encounter with an animal again and again. I was afraid, if it would bite me!
I can sue them, if it bites me, but it affects my health and I need to go to doctor right?!
Please have pets, which looks lovable, but not like wild animals.

Trichy Bus System
I recently read an interesting article in a forum site called - indiamike.com.
For most people, irrespective of their nationality, Trichy is quite
unfathomable when it comes to its bus transport network. Trichy,
being what it is, is more like a sprawling neighbourhood, albeit badly
planned. More likely, designed in parts, by drunken draftsmen. The
only place where one can intuitively figure out the layout is the
Temple complex and the surrounding streets of Chitrai, Maistry/Masi, Avani
and Veli which are arranged in concentric squares and labelled
according to the compass directions. So, North Veli Street is exactly
that, the outermost street from the Temple North Tower.
But this is about the bus network. I shall outline the ways you can
reach Trichy from other cities and the means to shuttle from one
bus-stand to the other.
In their infinite wisdom, the present day town planners have decreed
thus; since Trichy city cannot handle an ever increasing number of
vehicles, there shall be bus-stands in different points of the compass
to handle the incoming traffic. So we have[1]
a) Palanganatham bus-stand to handle south bound traffic
b) Arapalayam bus-stand to handle west & north-west bound traffic
c) Mattu Thavani[2] bus-stand to handle East and North-east bound traffic
d) Anna bus-stand to handle city traffic
e) Periyar bus-stand to handle city as well as private service buses

Bharat Uday Mission Organization
More English soldiers had by then reached the place, and, without warning, started firing into the crowd in which there were women and children. When those in front fell, those behind came forward to expose themselves to the firing. Soon there were heaps of dead and wounded. The firing continued from eleven in the morning till five in the evening, but not one broke ranks or fled. When the bodies were collected, it was found that not a single demonstrator had bullets in the back ...."
This is the true incident of the Civil Disobedience Movement, 1930. Thousands of such brave sacrifices were made to free our country. And how we have honored the great sacrifices of our martyrs : the present India is one of the most corrupt nations of the world, housing 1/3rd of the poor of the world; the educated class remains mostly neutral to the plight of their country, unable to extend their love and service beyond their spouses and children; and the whole society is groping in the darkness of corruption, poverty, casteism and illiteracy. The great sacrifices of our freedom fighters like Bhagat Singh, Chandrashekhar Azad, Mahatma Gandhi, Subhash Chandra Bose and other revolutionaries are betrayed shamelessly in present-day India. Who will light the lamp of nationalism in this darkness of sheer selfishness of the intelligentsia and the wretched poverty of the masses? Who will redeem the Indian Nation?
When I read this paragraph, I get little disturbed. This is the text from the website of the organization - Bharat Uday Mission. I have been following this organization's activities for quite a while and I have wondered how these guys are able to do. Most of the members are from IIT and looks like this is a new age revolution. Please take a look and if interested participate....

1. Actress Meera Jasmine went into a Hindu Temple and she has to pay fine!

New Trichy - Future Projects
New Trichy Future Projects:
One of our main current projects is – Free Library Network project in and around Trichy. This is a huge project and we have launched our first library in January 2006.
All of our projects fall under two categories. One is Helping Under-privileged Trichy and another is helping average Trichy to excel. Please find our current and future projects listed below.
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.
Clean and Green Trichy Project:
Though there are lot of measures by the corporation for cleanliness, we can still see places in Trichy as not neat. In order for us to make, Trichy as a best tourist destination, first of all it has to be neat. It also gives a good feel for us to live in the neat place. Singapore was not a great country until an initiative was taken.
This project is getting student power and youth to clean up.
Healthy Trichy Project:
For every person, health is the prime thing anybody should take care of. There are lot of people in Trichy, who are inaccessible to even basic medical facilities. This project is to give at least the basic facility. Though, there is “Rajaji government hospital” and other primary health centers, there is a need for more hospitals like Aravind Hospital – Free hospital section. It is amazing that somebody gives free medical care and surgery. As a project under “Made in Trichy”, we would like to open couple of hospitals in and around Trichy, for free section of these private hospitals. In addition to the free private hospital sections, there will be health camps in all the schools, colleges and villages in and around Trichy.
Industrial Trichy Project:
You could see more details in http://www.madeintrichy.com/. More and more entrepreneurs have to be created and appreciated for Trichy. As a project under – “Made in Trichy”, couple of Entrepreneurial development centers has to be opened to help the people of Trichy for jobs and business consultancy.
Calling Trichy Project:
This project is basically similar to “Pravasi Divas” of our India. Basically bringing many NRIs and other NRMs to Trichy for investment and improving Trichy. New Trichy will be a liason between the administrative officers who could do presentation about Trichy to the NRIs for any investment they could think of. Basically we need to arrange and organize a meeting and high tea between these two parties for interests in Trichy. We need to contact MADITSSIA(Trichy District Tiny and Small Scale Industries Association), CII(Confederation of Indian Industry) and all registered clubs like Rotract etc., for this to frucitify. This is just a gist, but lot of things to do on this. We need to have newtrichy.org to be really popular among the online community, so that it reaches the appropriate persons. For now we can do some ground works like - bringing together an online community in newtrichy.org.
E-Governance Project:
All the governance, administrative and people services has to be made e-enabled. Everything should be accessible from web and anywhere from the world for ease of people. Take for example, Chandrababu Naidu from Hyderabad, he had outsourced his government’s web administrative and people services – “eSeva” in web, to couple of private software organizations. Say – Electricity bills, tax services, phone bill services etc.,
Zero-Corruption Project:
The details of the project will be documented in the requirements and project plan document.
100% Employed Trichy Project:
As a part of “Made in Trichy”, we will be opening job consultancies in and around Trichy for helping students, job-seekers for getting jobs. This effort is for connecting the employers and potential employees in Trichy.
Population Controlled Trichy Project:
Population reduction campaigns will be created as an effort for this project.
Organized Traffic Trichy Project:
Better road design and strict traffic/parking measures and rules have to be initiated and controlled accordingly.
NO to AIDS Trichy Project:
AIDS campaign and adult education is necessary in Trichy. This project will deal with the same.
NO to Hunger Project:
This is part of helping under-privileged Trichy of New Trichy. Every man and woman should get 3 times food and this is towards poverty alleviation.
Tourist Destination Trichy Project:
Various marketing and tourism coordination efforts have to be initiated. As a part of “Made in Trichy” project, there will be a tourism agent opened in Trichy for attracting more tourists.
Zero Crime Trichy Project:
This will be one of the efforts to help the police department of Trichy for reducing crime rate. More and more rowdies are cropping up in Trichy, which has to be reduced. Better explanation can be found in the requirements and project plan documents of this project.
Righteous Path Trichy Project:
There are various balances, every man has to be make – mental, physical, career-personal life and at last spiritual balance. Nobles ideas and thoughts has to be sowed in youth and children’s mind.
International Infrastructure Trichy Project:
For many businesses to smoothly function, international infrastructure has to be built.
Helping Under-privileged Trichy Project:
This project is for helping the destitute and very poor – below poverty people of Trichy for upliftment.
We believe these are the core problems Trichy has and we are dreaming and planning to correct the same. We have thought through this much only right now. If we get more thoughts, we will add up projects as and when needed.
If you have any more thoughts or if you want to advice or comment something, please feel free to send a mail to newtrichy@gmail.com.

Frequently Asked Questions about New Trichy Foundation
What is New Trichy?
New Trichy is a non-profit organization formed for bringing together good hearts and well-wishers from all over the world online for the improvement of Trichy and its people in various dimensions and in all possible ways. We are a registered organization - New Trichy Foundation.
Why is New Trichy needed?
There is always some scope for improvement in any place in the world, even if it is New York. But there is lot to do in any place in India. Especially Trichy has lot of potential and it is not being tapped and it is not improved for various reasons. We have started to think globally and trying to act locally. That is why we have chosen Trichy. So in order to improve Trichy, we have found New Trichy Foundation, which will help for the smooth transition of Trichy into New Trichy.
Why the name New Trichy?
We wanted to make the existing Trichy into New Trichy. To an international well-wisher, it makes more sense as New Trichy, rather than Pudhiya Trichy. Also we want to make Trichy like a significant place in the world like New York. So we found New Trichy apt enough for our foundation and also for our mission.
Why are we newtrichy.org, instead of newtrichy.com?
Since we are a Non-Profit organization (NPO), Non-governmental organization(NGO), and not a commercial organization, we thought www.newtrichy.org is the right URL and not www.newtrichy.com. Even this conveys the purpose of our organization. http://www.newtrichy.in

Fixing Trichy Roads
I recently read in Dinamalar that there are some new and innovative measures from the corporation for rectifying the roads in Trichy.
If you notice any holes or breakages in roads, you can give a complaint to corporation and the action will be taken by the appropriate engineer within 48 hours time frame.
If any action is not taken, you can complain to a senior officer and you will get a reward of Rs.100.
This seems to be an innovative idea and will work out. Also heard that this is a bangalore model of cleaning up things.
Long Live Trichy!!!

Do not take new born child in flight/aeroplane for 6 months
We have heard from doctor that the new born baby for 2 months can be carried in the flight, but I heard a horror story from one of our friends and that was really shocking.
She said - one of her friend carried the baby for a 5 hour flight and the baby didn't make any movements when reached the destination and they noticed that the baby had some blood in the ears.
So, never ever fly when the baby is less than 6 months. Consult your doctor anyway on this and then do accordingly.

Join a startup company - you will have lot of benefits!
Instead of joining a big company and being a drop in a ocean, join a startup or a small growing company. You will have n-number of benefits if you are just starting your career. But later, you will automatically move up in your career and also in a bigger company, if you like.
The benefits I could think of -
1) Technically you can become stronger and basics will become stronger for you. You will have to do most of the things yourself and no assistance would be there, which will improve your knowledge.
2) You will have a flat hierarchy and you can feel free to talk to the CEO and he will have time for you.
3) Moving up in the career ladder will be faster, but if you shift companies every 6 months, you might not have a good career statistically. You can even reach to the level of Vice President, if you might have stayed and worked hard consistently.
4) If the company is doing well, you will get monetary benefits as well. Who knows - the company might go for IPO and you might become a millionaire...
5) You can get varied knowledge on various subjects and departments, while you work for a smaller company. If you work for a big company, you might be writing a small part of the code, which will be a limited responsibility and you might have more capability than that.
There are more to specify, for now that's it...click...
