Believe - Anything is possible : Trichy Theme Parks



In "Sea World, San Diego", there is a great show called - "Believe - Anything is possible" in which Shamu, a killer whale performs whatever is instructed and asked for.

The theme of the show is that Believe and anything is possible. I believe the show has to be watched by everyone, to believe anything is possible in this world.

The trainers had set a relationship with the killer whales and had trained them to do certain things. It is pretty much as if an animal with 6 senses is performing whatever is instructed.

Training a dog, cat might not be a big deal, but training a killer whale is a big deal which can eat humans as well. The animal is so huge and the show was amazing. Believe and Anything is possible in this world.

While I was watching this show in the Shamu auditorium, I thought of a business idea in Trichy.

If you have good amount of money, then invest in a vast land in outskirts of Trichy. May be in couple of years, you can build a theme park or a recreational park, not exactly like Adisayam(water theme park), but you can choose some other theme for this park. How is this business idea in Trichy - may be long-term?

Risk Apetite for an individual - Trichy Business Risks

I went to Sea World Theme park for the long weekend with my family and in-laws. I dared to go on a roller-coaster ride in the park. This ride is definitely dangerous and thrilling. The ride goes really up and down and goes wild, and feels like I am going to fall down. It gives a strange feeling inside the stomach, when it goes that fast downwards.

Overall the ride was very thrilling and scary. I was thinking about it later on and analyzing my risk taking appetite. Here is what I derived from it -

Initially, I didn't think about the risk or scary part before going to the ride. The ride was scary and thrilling. After the ride, I asked a question to myself, if I will be able to go back and ride it without fear. My answer was Yes. That is good for me. My inference from that was I am ready to take the risk any number of times, even though I knew things are risky.

Another feeling is that I felt it would be better if someone would have been there with me, so that it would be much more fun than that. Inference is partnership. It would be more fun if I have a person sharing the risks and profits.

So, my risk appetite is good enough that I can take risks and also will be able to share risks with partners.

Happy Family in Trichy

What do you need for a happy family?

1) Understanding spouse
2) Loving and caring spouse
3) Children
4) Satisfaction
5) Work to do for everyone in the family. At least one person as earning MONEY. Not necessary that another one also has to work to earn. But definitely something to do.
6) Savings is good.
7) Simple life.
8) Everyone likes you and your family. Being good to everyone - very difficult but possible.

The above is minimum. If you want to be more happy -

9) Wealthy - more money
10) Achievement in life - Success.

It is all my personal opinion.
If you think of anything more, please post it as comments.

Trichy Culture Analysis : Working women or housewife is good?

In today's expensive lifestyle, it is very difficult to live, save and prosper into a wealthy family just by one income. Life demands for both husband and wife to earn, spend and save.

When I was looking for my wife(arranged marriage), I had this debate inside myself for whether I have to choose working woman or a housewife. May be this analysis would help anybody in the same boat.

Let us analyze what are the advantages and disadvantages of a housewife for a family.

Advantages of working women over housewives.
1) More money into the family finance.
2) Busy mind, is productive. Idle mind is devil's workshop
3) Career for both husband and wife is in good shape.
4) If there is an emergency or worst cases, woman member of the family should be able to take over and balance the financial stability in the family.
5) Whole family is productive, in terms of work.

Advantages of housewife over working woman:
1) If one person is working outside and another is taking care of the family. That is the best thing for the family. All the households are taken care.
2) Kids are well taken care. Ask any working woman about their kids - they would feel bad and guilty for not taking care of them to the full extent - whatever age it is.
3) Happy family, with whatever money is available.
4) Relations are maintained.
5) Provided the family lives economically(of whatever income), a happy family.

Disclaimer: Please note these are my personal views and not intended to hurt anyone.

You wanted to know - what I chose?
At last, I was lucky(arranged marriage) to get a mix of both of them. May be that is the best option for anyone. Opinions differ...

Women (Doctor) entrepreneurs in Trichy

These days Women entrepreneurs are setting up hospitals and they are running their business perfectly. There is nothing women cannot do, which Man can only do!!

We are going to talk about a successful Doctor in Vadipatti, Trichy.
Dr.Sarmila completed her MBBS degree in Trichy Medical College and completed her MD in Obstetrics and Gynaecology in Chennai Medical College. She was one of the few in Trichy to complete this.

Though she was born and brought up in Trichy, she practiced near Salem privately for couple of years, practiced in Trichy Jaihundpuram area also and gained good amount of experience. Came back to her home town and settled in Vadipatti, Trichy.

She has setup a polyclinic called - Sree Women's Polyclinic, Vadipatti, Trichy. Running successfully in that locality and serving the villages in and around. Eventhough, her husband is helping her out with the business and service - her success so far is much appreciated. These kind of women entrepreneurs in Trichy has to be greatly appreciated. More and more people have to come out like this!!!

Dr.Sarmila's polyclinic is located on the main road of Trichy-Dindigul; in Vadipatti. Easily accessible...

We(Trichy Times Publication) wish Dr.Sarmila a grand success in her life and career. We hope she builds multiple hospitals in and around Trichy and serves people for a health living!!

Beggars are avoided and respected in Trichy

Trichy Corporation is calling to arrest beggars in Trichy.
There was a recent news (couple of months back) that beggars were arrested and they were released very soon.

My question is - what would police do by arresting these beggars? Most of the beggars are helpless. I am thinking - Beggars are of three categories in Trichy. In fact, everywhere...

1) Physically and/or Mentally Handicapped and do not have a way of doing any work or do not have reasoning. Complete helpless.
2) Partially handicapped - like one leg is gone for example.
3) Completely lazy, homeless and ran-away-cases from their hometown.

First category is the one should be helped and placed in homes for homeless.
Other two categories should not be helped at all.

In Trichy, all the three categories are available. There are some organizations and individuals who help these beggars and homeless people. All said, If you help the second and third categories, it is not healthy at all for Trichy - that guy would become more and more lazy.

I support helping the first category, but not the second and third category.

Instead, work on getting a home and put them in homes for homeless. Give them employment and give them food only when they work! That will give self respect and dignity for them. Even if you don't have a leg or a hand, anyone should learn to live by himself or herself.

We cannot feed them all the time and throughout their life. Neither arresting the beggars would help.

We used donate to Akshaya Trust two years back, but now we could not due to lack of human resources for new trichy foundation. On those days, I asked Akshaya Trust Krishnan and I was enquiring about whom does he feed daily. He replied - he feeds only the first category. Good Stuff...I appreciate his efforts, also he said he is aiming towards building a home. I am not sure, what is the status on it currently. If he is still working on his long-term aim, I am sure he is collecting funds for it. Need to contact Akshaya Trust Krishnan and ask about it. If you want to contact Akshaya Krishnan -

Elderly People and Senior Citizen's productivity in Trichy

People wait for the age of 58 and retire from them work, once they are 58 or 60.
After that, senior citizens...

Privileges in train tickets; will have tax reduction and/or wherever they go they get advantage.

However, I believe there are much more things, which can be done by them. In foreign countries the elderly people and senior citizens are much more productive and independent in their life.

They generate money and produce something or other.

For example, McDonalds was founded and built by the Ray Kroc in his late 50s.
KFC(Kentucky Fried Chicken) was founded by Harland Sanders in his 60s.

Our senior citizens should try to be healthy and be productive than what they are doing right now, I believe.

The same advice goes to this generation also - in terms of health and productivity.

Pongal festival: Famous festival in and around Trichy

This is Trichy Mani. I will be a special reporter for "Trichy Times" from now on.
We are aiming to take Trichy Times Publication to the next level by end of 2009...

PONGAL FESTIVAL:::

Pongal is one of the major festivals in Tamilnadu, which is popularly called as Sankaranthi in other parts of India. It is also the birth of a new tamil month ('thai'). Now this day has been considered as the Tamil new year day by the government of tamilnadu also.

As this day is nearing by with only hardly a month, let me share some things about this day which I know.On Pongal day, the people used to wear new clothes and this day is mainly for the cattle and machinery used for cultivation. So farmers mainly celebrate this day by presenting the cultivated goods and presenting to the Sun god. The village people normally celebrate this day by decorating their houses, fields and cattle. They would expect this day as auspicious day as they would have harvested their crops and this should continue throughout their life time. The main food items for this day would be Sweet pongal (ingredients may depend on the financial status of the family).

Other things include the Sugarcane which is purple in color and the Lunch made of fully homegrown vegetables. Root vegetables like potato varieties is also included in the menu.On the next day of Pongal, people used to have non-vegetarian and the next day is the day of Mattu Pongal. This day is mainly for the cattle. On this day they will take care of their cattle specially by decorating and giving special food. Moreover on this day cattle will be sent for Jallikattu also - which is a popular brave sport.

I would like to share some of my experiences during pongal day.We used to wait for this day as we can chew sugarcane on this day. Normally I would love to eat sugarcane a lot. Then about the Lunch in our home it will be heavy with full of vegetables. All vegetables will be there in the Sambar and for side dish we would have potatoes, pachcha mochai and beans usili. Dinner will be completed with dosa and the remaining Sambar. This sambar will be in our home for another two days. :-)

Great festival! But now I am away from my home, missing all the above. Though I am with my family here, I am missing a lot without my parents who are there in my home town. I dont know whether I am having any plan to go to my home town on this day, but I am hoping to do so.

Hope your experiences are similar!

A Game that is forgotten as Years goes by - Jallikattu.

I would like to mention about the famous dravidian game - Jallikattu. Alanganallur, a place in Trichy district is a specific place where this game is famous for. In an around trichy, that too specifically villages also sport such games, but to a small extent. Bulls from all over the tamilnadu will be participating and show their strength. Brave men from the age of 15 to 60 will be participating. Some men end up with serious damages and even lose their lives doing such acts.Also I would like to share one of my breathtaking experience in one such game. Dont think that I had indulged in the act of handling the bulls. But on that day I went just as a spectator. I, my brother who is in CA now and my friend went to witness the game. We had a nice spot to view the game of chasing and as time went on, more and more bulls were going and brave men were chasing them. As it was nearing the end of the game, we three decided to move towards our place and were trying to get way out of the crowd. What happened to our surprise is that, we got strangled in a small gap between two houses when crowd were pushing us and suddenly a bull tried to enter a crowd present over there. There was no other go and we were nearly very near to the bull and it was very fierce. Suddenly i caught hold of one of the low lying roof outside one of the house and my brother and my friend got slipped into a thorny bush. But luckily men from the crowd diverted the bull and it went in the other direction. We had a very narrow escape. phooh.
So always play safe.

Family pressure for Entrepreneurs in Trichy

Parents say no to risks for Trichy Small Startups

Mr.X(name hidden for privacy) resigned his day job and plans to start a company of his own in Trichy.

X is a married man, with dependants including his wife, son, dad and mom.
When a young professional resigns his day job, takes risks - there is lot of oppositions and negative advocacy from all sides. Parents think from a conservative perspective and non-risky thinking of sticking to a job and getting salary and living a normal life.

It is good to have devil's advocate, when we are having an idea and we are going to execute the same. However, it is difficult to have all of them all the time. Those inputs has to be considered for improvement, but not to impediment any success steps.

If you have a brilliant idea, which you think will be a success in the market, considering your market research; if you have a business plan to execute the plan, which is reviewed by experts and they and you think that it is a good idea, if executed properly. Then nothing should stop you from executing this idea.

My friend X is going through this phase and he is starting a company of his own. I wish him success in his venture and "Made in Trichy" is backing up his business with funding.

Trichy Human Resources are not expensive, but of good quality and hard working

Trichy human resources are cheap and inexpensive. The reason for that is the human resource are self-satisfied with the lifestyle and the money they have.

Everyone has their relatives and their own life keeping on moving. People run with their life with their jobs, salary and family. Hence, they don't worry much about the salary.

I know, friends in Trichy who lead their life comfortably even with Rs.2000 per month as salary. People are content in life, with whatever money they have got. Living within means is something our fore-fathers have taught us.

Only because of IT and ITeS invasion, normal middle-class people are seeing lot of money in their pockets.

I have one of my relative, who works for Alagendran Finance, who probably gets only less than Rs.5000 per month even after 5 to 7 years of service. Till date he gets his lunch to the office and does not eat outside. He even saves some money for his children. He goes out with his family to a movie once in a month! Amazing... You won't believe, he worked in Chennai office also with a similar salary.

Trichy is a kind of city, in which anyone can live with any kind of salary and BE HAPPY with whatever you have.

If you are starting a business in Trichy, you can get resources with Rs.2000 to Rs.5000. An associate manager can be acquired with Rs.7000 and the same time the resources are hard working and of good quality.

Don't you think it is the best possible scenario for an employer or whoever wants to start a business in Trichy?

If you want to post your resume, please send it to jobs.trichy@gmail.com, and we will post it to the new placement company in Trichy.

Vijayakanth's DMDK conducting Job Fair in tamil nadu state...

Over 2,000 people from different parts of the Salem district attended the job fair organised by the Desiya Murpokku Dravida Kazhagam at a Hall in Salem on November 23rd 2008. Representatives from 30 firms from Chennai, Coimbatore, Salem and various other parts in the State participated in the fair and conducted the selection process.

Chennai job fair is already conducted in Anna Nagar West etc., By December 7th, there is a Job Fair to be conducted in Coimbatore.

Appreciate the efforts of DMDK leader Captain Vijayakanth. However, I wonder why job fairs are conducted in Erode, Coimbatore, Salem, Chennai - but not in TRICHY?!??

Given the fact that Vijayakanth is basically from Trichy, I request Captain to arrange a job fair in Trichy!!

If you want to send your resume, please send it to jobs.trichy@gmail.com. We will do the needful.

Trichy Politics/Trichy Arasiyal: Tirumangalam/Thirumangalam By-Election 2008/2009

Following the death of MDMK MLA Mr.Veera Elavarasan by Nov 2008, by-election (bye-election) is announced in Thirumangalam/Tirumangalam constituency.

The election is scheduled to happen by January 9th, 2008. By January 15th the election result would be out.

MDMK chief Vaiko (Vai Gopalsamy) has paved way to the partnership for a seat in Thirumangalam legislative election. AIADMK is contesting on behalf of the partnership between AIADMK and MDMK. Candidate nomination from any of the parties is not yet done.

Interesting part is it is going to be a great war between DMK and AIADMK. It is a prestige issue for both the parties. Since the constituency is in Trichy, it is a prestige issue for Mr. Anjaa nenjan Azhagiri. This task has to be done successfully from DMK's side.

No party is released a candidate yet.

By the way - there are other parties curious to take out some votes to their plate. Vijayakanth's DMDK and Sarath kumar's AISMK would be nominating one from each party.

This would take votes from DMK and AIADMK vote banks.

Let us see how it goes and we will closely watch this election. This will prove how strong the parties are in this Trichy area - Thirumangalam/Tirumangalam!!!

Trichy candidates become good employees!


Trichy candidates become good employees!

Do you agree?

Wherever Trichy candidates go, they are usually hard working, honest, conservative, simple, but bold in nature. If you miss any of the above and if you are from Trichy - then you have changed in your new location!

If you are an employer and you are interviewing someone from Trichy, you can take my words and you don't have to test them for how hard they would work and for honesty.

By the way - Happy Thiru Karthikai!!!

Global recession hits Trichy too

There is a record of decrease in land transactions for the past couple of months in the tamil nadu state itself. Looks like there is a loss of Rs.50 crores approximately lost in revenues for Government of Tamil Nadu on land transactions.

This is a bad sign to be noted. Hopefully it is temporary and everything would come back. There is a little apprehension in everyone's mind whether market would be down for sometime or will it be back to normal!

People are holding off in investing in any assets. Instead, it is safe to keep everything in cash - may be!

I will be talking to realty consultants in Trichy today. I will get back to you all with some expert views on this.

Radio Mirchi, Hello FM and Suryan FM in Trichy City - Trichy Radios




Radio Mirchi, Hello FM and Suryan FM in Trichy City

Trichy City hosts several radio stations like Radio mirchi ,Hello FM, Suryan FM.

In those days, we wake up with a typical radio news read by Vimala Jayaraman and an elderly and mature voice. Or Ceylon radio with all nice and super hit songs. These days, Trichy people wake up with hot FMs in Trichy city. Very young jibbering, talking, talking, talking. Mixing information with little youthful masala and gossips in a productive way.

RJ-ing is an art and there are great RJs in Trichy.

Trichy Eco Park - one of the entertainments/refreshments in Trichy




Trichy Eco Park

Apart from Rajaji park, Athisayam and other clubs in Trichy, Trichy Eco Park is a successful project from Trichy Corporation.

Trichy Eco Park sprawling over 5.5 acres of land is a leisure spot for all age groups. Located at the western end of Anna Maligai, the park was set up and developed by the Trichy Corporation. Apart from its 124 varieties of herbal trees, the park houses more than five hundred varieties of small and big shade giving trees. The major highlight of the park is the tallest artificial fountain that pumps water up to 110 feet and the four optic fiber illuminated trees. There is a minimal fee for entry to the park. Now it is probably Rs.2, I guess.

The park situated near city corporation building where the lighting and fountain arrangements are impressive and the illuminated optic fiber trees add luster to the beauty. The computerized fountain was built costing Rs.13 lakhs.

Idle mind is devil's workshop - if No work at Trichy



Idle mind is devil's workshop - if No work at Trichy

Trichy is in general a sit-back-relax city. Working population is not even 50% to the non-working stay-at-home population.

Housewives, students, school-drop-out girls, girls stopped from school to stay at home, retired community, not-going-to work population etc., are non-productive. As they are at home and they don't have solid work, there is a tendency of cribbing, idling, gossiping etc.,

There is a huge potential if we change the system a little bit to use the capabilities of this non-working population.

Recently I was talking to my relatives and my wife's relatives - there is lot of gossips, hate, frustration etc., I was thinking about the cause to it and I imagine it to be because of idle mind. If everyone works on something or other, there would not be this kind of thinking and gossipping.

I agree that - housewives have lot to do, including taking care of children, house hold works etc., There are positive thinking housewives. But I am talking now only about the other side of the crowd. So, this is not a complaint about everyone.

Anyway, if everyone makes sure there is work or something to do at any point of time - then it will help Trichy's productivity and in fact family's productivity very well.

Secular city - Trichy - Hindus, Christians and Muslims in Trichy

Secular city - Trichy - Hindus, Christians and Muslims in Trichy

India is a secular country and of-course every city in India is secular too. Trichy demographics include varied set of people with diversified culture, religion, caste, race and creed.

Trichy includes Hindus, Christian, Muslims etc., (Don't want to talk about Caste, however) Caste wise - all kinds of castes are there.

One good part is - even though there is a minority of Muslim population, there is considerable amount of muslim population. Even a single point of time, communal riots in Trichy has not happen in a major way. That is a great indication that every caste or religion in Trichy is cooperative and friendly in Trichy.

Even in Coimbatore, there was a riot, but Trichy has been a safest place. You cannot imagine any kind of damage in that perspective to the city. This is definitely a clear indication for lot of business initiatives, considering its safety.

By the way - Eid Mubarak - Bakrid Wishes to all Trichy Muslims and all. Enjoy the Trichy Biriyani!!

SG Jayaraj Group's Kodai Automobiles in trouble!!

Recently, SG Jayaraj and Nadar sons lost their dealership with Mahindra Scorpio. They could not renew their dealership. Currently, they don't have any dealership and they are trying to continue their business with just the service of any car coming in. Looks like in bad shape. I talked to an employee of SG Jayaraj and Nadar son's Kodai Automobiles. I was told the management is not even able to provide the salary to their employees. Morale is down in the company itself. The employees are categorized into three categories. Mechanic level, Supervisor level and Managerial level. The salary is provided in batches between 1-st of a month and continued with the salary in batches till 15th of the month. Even the employee is concerned that he might not even get the salary till 15th of the month. The employee I am referring to is just at mechanic level. Not sure, how the business for Kodai Automobiles is going to proceed. Let us see.
Hope there is a bail-out for the company like the way it is for the Banks in America.

All the very best.

Non-resident Trichy-ites would always come back

I was talking to couple of my old Trichy friends.
Here is what I found -

All of them or most of them are coming back to Trichy. There is a strong feeling and attraction towards Trichy for everyone who were born and brought up there.

I know a friend who is in Ireland, there is a friend in Sivakasi, there is one in coimbatore, there is a friend in USA and also couple of friends from Trichy itself. They all seem to have one thing in common. They love Trichy. We all love Trichy, because we know it is heaven for the way it brought us all up.

This is sure to happen one day. All of the non-resident trichy-ites would come back to Trichy sooner. This might happen in a span of 3-5 years. It is expected that Trichy is going to be improved all at once, due to all cream people coming back to Trichy.

I see Trichy changing in 3-5 years to a far better extent.

Olympics - India's role

It is encouraging to see that there is a ONE GOLD for India.
However, it is discouraging when compared to the population of India.

We are doing a biggest mistake of just following ONLY CRICKET, CRICKET and CRICKET.
We forget all other sports and there is no importance given to other sports.

There is not much sponsorship for other sports, no fame...

Things has to change! All other sports has to be considered and encouraged.
If there is no proper career path available for the (non-cricket)sportmen and women, how will somebody devote their life for it?

Hope Government or any non-profit takes a look at it, to make a change!

Youth's health!

I saw a neighbour today, who is about 35 years old.

He was limping a little bit, and I asked him - what happenned to your leg.
He said - yesterday he went for a walking.

Just for a walking his leg is in trouble. That is the situation of the health of the youth crowd! It is all because of lack of regular physical exercise of the human body.

People are becoming old sooner and I guess the death age is not 60s any more. It is probably lesser than that.

Take care guys!

Market is terrible!

Market is terrible and not treating me very well.

While I was searching a job, during a well-market, there were less screening of candidates. The evaluation process was not in that depth and it was easy.

But now, I could realize the pressure and stringent evaluation processes.
There are lesser openings and those openings are tightened with couple of layers of evaluation.

There is more supply and lesser demand, which makes the market non-co-operative to job seekers. There are very easy rejections! There are more people out in the market and employers are having lesser business.

Management drives the recruitment and the recruitment managers cannot make any mistake in recruitment. Since there are more job seekers and lesser demand for job, employers are able to find people easy, with stringent procedures.

Everyone is sticking to their job as of now and keeping the boat going. Business is generally dull for the employer as well. So, there is no chance of asking for hike/bonus etc., Whoever is in job, has to just hang on to where they are.

Overall, it sucks!!

High Availability in Life?! - Trichy Life

Have you heard about Fail-over and High Availability in Servers and Systems?

Will that be cool to have the same concept in Life also? I believe I have.

If this country does not give me what I want, I will take what I have back home. There is whole world to win, not just these small mud houses in this place.

If a server A has issues, then the High Availability software switches control to server B. That is what I am feeling cool about the high availability in my life too.

There are various opportunities in the whole world waiting for me. I am willing to serve my city, country as it demands me to.

Thanks for listening to my blabbering and pulambals.

Feeling the Macroeconomy disturbance - World Economy - not just about Trichy

When there was dot com burst in 2000, and during/after September 11 attacks in USA, there was a huge market recession due to heavy losses and improper business models, I had to feel the macro-economy disturbance.

When there is a disturbance at a macro-economy level, there is a disturbance in micro-economy level too. In 2001, we suffered out of no money. No one worked in my family, except my mother! Mother was working, one brother was studying, another brother was searching for a job and I was downsized from the company! I guess you are getting the financial picture of my family. It sucked!!

Now, there a sub-prime mortgage crisis, US real markets fall, banks fail or slow down and my life sucks. I am always on the edge of my life. Does it happen to everyone? Or is it just me?!

Is it my mistake of being jack of many, rather than a master of one?!

Inflation of >12% in India...oil prices rise...shares sink...
Need some life and break guys!! I hope everything will come up back.

Everyone in family is supportive, but need change sooner.
I hope after elections, things will change.

Life Sucks without a Job - Trichy Life!

When you have a job and you don't realize the importance of it. You keep cribbing about it and when you don't have that, you realize the benefit of it.

Life sucks without a job!

Market sinks, and few has to suffer for someone else's mistake!
As a old saying goes like this - In a hot country road without a shade, you realize the advantage of the shade.

I am in that situation right now. I am without a job for earning! I do have a job of taking care of family and representing non-revenue generating things, but I don't have a job for food!

Is that a lesson to me? Why did this happen to me? Why should I go through this? Am I unfortunate? Didn't contribute enough?!

Believe me man - life sucks, when there is no activity. You need money in life! Tough times always comes through. There are ups and downs. yes..Will there be a UP? Question is when will the UP come? Sooner or later?

Why didn't the Sales team not make sales? Why didn't management estimate the market's situation? Why do they(employers) hire, if they cannot handle it? It is not my mistake dude. We become the victim of someone else's mistake. This is too bad!

There has to be something to hope for, somebody to love for, something to do. Yes. I miss the last part of it. I don't have a job to do! This is a disease man!
I have to get out of it, as soon as possible.

Will return back with a job!

Subramaniyapuram - a Trichy movie

Subramaniapuram, a cool Trichy based tamil movie by the director M.Sasikumar.

Excellent portrayal of 1980's youth life in Trichy streets. Best part of the movie is going back of the 1980's time - a 1980 period film.

Characters with lot of hair, un-shaved, bell bottom pants, simple, no bikes, no gadgets, much reality, actuality. Felt like went back to the time of my childhood neighborhood Jaihindpuram - near Subramaniapuram!!

The director has to have lived in that area, or a deep observer - otherwise it is impossible to do this movie like this. Actor Jay looks like Vijay a little bit, and his mannerism reminded of Actor Vijay and Paruthiveeran.

Very minute details are also carefully observed and taken care. Aluminum paint bus, cycles, long collar shirts, checked shirts, big belt buttons, always-cigaratte-and-tea-youths, Theatre posters(meenatchiyil, jegathaavil..) etc., To be frank, I don't see much of a difference between this movie and what Trichy is now. Trichy has not changed at all!!!!

"Kangal Inandal" song is very melodious and sweet song to listen to.

Watch the Subramaniapuram video song

Will beauty of Trichy be lost, amidst Trichy development and improvements?

Everyone like Trichy's Culture, Simplicity, Non-changing, ever-backward, religious, no-improvement, veeram(brave and courageous nature).

However, there is a general feeling and concern that if Trichy improves with IT and infrastructure, it would lose Trichy's mann vasanai!? Will it loose its original flavour?

Bangalore was supposed to be a cool and peaceful place to live. Today it is overcrowded, polluted and no place to live!

Will the same situation happen to Trichy?

My take is - it is OK to loose its original flavour, and I would be happy, as long as there is improvement in Trichy!

Can you dare to go back to roots and stand on your own? - Trichy Courage!

We work for someone else or waiting to work for someone else! However, my dream is to work for myself. Reason for working for someone else is - Need money. We are never with a word "satisfaction" or "it is enough" for money.

Always, there is a need for money. Especially, if you are a married man. You always need money, how much so ever, you might have.

Will I dare to go back to my home and work for myself? Will you dare to do it? Societal pressure, family pressure, monetary pressure! Will you?

Is there a scope to do business? Answer is Yes. Do you have the courage to do it? Not sure. Do you have the courage to break the rules?

Do you have the courage to do societal revolution? Samudhaaya puratchi?? Do you have enough money to do it? Do you have enough power to do it?

All questions posted. Answer it yourself!!

Is everyone is working on a dream job? - Trichy Finance Wisdom

I am not sure if everyone is working on a dream job?
Is everyone liking what they are currently doing?

There has to be some motivation to get up daily and go to work, right?
What is that? Is everyone after money?

I believe, the following applies to "most" of us.

Everyone is living more than what we earn. We get loans and we end up paying them monthly with interest. Truth is --- We all get up in the morning to go to work, to pay off our loans.

Do you agree? In today's lifestyle, every one dares to get a loan for themselves at some point of life.

Starting from Education loan, Car loan, Bike loan, House loan, Business Loan, Credit Card loan, Personal Loan etc.,

On those days, getting loan from bank was the last thing for someone to think about. But, today it has become easy for all of us.

We get loans and get stuck for life and keep working to payoff our loans.

Believe me - it is better feeling to be without loan and be in positive credit at any point of time. This is dream for every person in this world I believe!

Leave out anybody else, I wish that could happen to me!? May Goddess Lakshmi see this blog and fedex me bunch of gold coin bags:) joking...

How to be successful in life?

If you are confused in life and don't know where you are going in life? I suggest you play a game, which you can play and it is a new game.

Yesterday I went to a bowling game with my 5 friends. We played three games. I played terribly in the first game. I was the 5th and last in the first game. In the second game, I came fourth place. Still, I was totally depressed about what was going on.

I was de-motivated but at the same time I was understanding how to play and what is the best practice. I had the fire to play and win. I wanted desperately to win. I was carefully watching how people are playing and closely observing how the winning person is throwing the ball.

Hesitatingly I joined the third game, and I eventually won the third game. Here are the couple of lessons, I learnt.

1) Everything is happening under God's supervision and he teaches us lessons.
2) Concentration. I was only looking at the line and where to hit in the target. In Mahabaratha, Dhrona teacher asked everyone among the students and everyone identified bigger targets like whole tree or the parrot on the whole. Arjuna was the only person who answered that he sees parrot's eye only and nothing else.
It makes a lot of difference, if we concentrate only the destination and do not concentrate on anything else. Do not give ears to anything else. It is all about concentration.
3) Patience. until you understand the game and become mastered with the game.
4) Observation. Observe what is best and understand that and practice.
5) Understand from mistakes.

All of the above applies to our life and I feel like I realized these things after a long time. I will succeed back again! I know, it has been slow in my things shortly. But I will get back. I wanted to share with everyone, whom it might apply.

A Game is a short equivalent(prototype) of life. Every now and then you have win and loose. You need to be able to accept both. Accept both win and loose with the same heart. React to it in the same.

This will lead to bliss in life!!
