Searching for ways to make money - even illegal ways! - Trichy Culture
There are n number of ways to make money in this world.
However, few of our trichyites choose illegal ways.
Money by force, money by cheating...
Money by cheating:
Being genuine is a good karma. If you give someone you know with some 1000s of rupees and tell him/her that you will get it back after 1 year. There is only 50% probability that you might get it back. The other party might give n number
of reasons to avoid you and say that he will give the money later.
There are some horror stories of illegal acquisition of lands and houses for
rent, which comes under both the categories - money by force and money by
cheating.
Another example of money by cheating - In temples like Meenakshi Amman Temple,
there is cheating and corruption. When a ticket counter fellow issues you a
ticket, that same ticket is torn into two pieces and given back to you, as a
receipt. Lately, the ticket is not torn or other half of the ticket is not
issued back to the temple visitor. Instead the same ticket is sold again and
again. Can you imagine, what all ways you get to know for making money?
Money by force:
Kandhu vatti, Meter Vatti, Rocket Vatti, Katta panchayath? Have you heard these terminologies? Thesea are all popular terms among Trichy folks. You can hear stories like - you give the house for rent and you come back to the tenant and tell them to vacate the house in 1 month. The tenant would say I can leave the house only after 1 year. This happens only in India and places like Trichy. Money by force and money by cheating...
Why is all these happenning? Poverty? Illiteracy? Great Rich and Poor Divide?
God knows...these are the discussions, everyone gets into easily and end up no
where.
Last but not least -
In SpiderMan movie, the hero is advised by his uncle that - "With Great Power
comes Great Responsibility", but you know how does Trichy folks perceive it?
"With Great Power comes Corruption and with Great Power comes Cheating Money"!!

Trichy Taekwondo - a martial art - Korean Karate - CK Nagaraj
In my school days, my mother enrolled me and my Trichy brother into two courses. As I have told you before, my mother had a vision. She wants her children to be well equipped before we encounter the real world.
One was Hindi class provided by Dakshin Bharath Hindi Prachar Sabha and I successfully passed "Praveen" exam. This is supposed to be equivalent to BA in Hindi.
Another was Taekwondo. My brother completed Taekwondo - Black Belt. I completed the Brown Belt, which is just before Black Belt.
We used to study in the TVS Nagar branch, which was opposite TVS Lakshmi Matric School. Taekwondo is a great martial art, but from Korea. Taekwondo is more of an art with the leg, when compared to Karate, which is all of hands. Taekwondo is more of leg and less of hand. Taekwondo is also called Korean Karate. Taekwondo is one of the asian(korean) martial art, like Kung fu and Karate.
CK Nagaraj was our master and he is a great teacher and a great person. He is a good friend of us and our mother knows him very well. I am grateful to the Taekwondo master Nagaraj. He is a member of Lions Club as well. CK Nagaraj had received even 3-5 DANs(levels) in Black Belt of Karate.
One interesting point is - TVS Nagar branch still exists and even today master is teaching in the same terrace of the building opposite our school.
By the way, 24th January and 25th, 26th - state level competition is planned to happen in TVS Lakshmi Matriculation Higher Secondary School, Trichy.
I am grateful to this master CK Nagaraj. As a return gift, I am posting this article dedicated to Mr.Nagaraj, Taekwondo Black Belt in Trichy.
For further details - please contact -

Trichy Tea shop - a speciality beverage in Trichy
Earlier, I have written about Trichy Tea shops - click here to read, but please come back to this article.
Trichy Tea shops are special. You want to know the reasons, here are they -
* 365/24/7 you can get tea.
* tea with a combination of murukku anytime. But in special times like evenings, you get bajji, vada etc.,
* You are treated royal, if you are decent enough in dressing.
* 1/2 tea can be ordered. that means one tea can be shared in two glass tumblers by two individuals.
* Tea is served in glass tumblers with 3/4'ths filled with tea. Smoke is also sold anytime, even one-by-one. - 'Bossu cigarette saapteengalaa bossu?' - 'bossu neenga cigarette saappudra palakkam irukkaa?'
* A friendship is shared with a tea. - 'Bossu teaa saappudunga bossuu'.
* A conversation is started with a tea.
* A Thanks is conveyed with a tea.
* On an average, men drink like 3-5 teas in a day, when they go out.
* 'paal-tea' can be ordered - which has more milk in it. that is why it is called paal-tea.
* Any corner street or main town place you go, you can get tea.
* The number of tea shops in Trichy is infinite.
* you also get other beverages - coffee, horlicks, bournvita...
* Even in hot sun and middle of the noon - trichy folks would be drinking tea, instead they should be drinking cool drinks.
* A tea used to cost Re.1 and 50 paise. But today, it costs Rs.2, 50 paise and Rs.3.
Trichy Tea shop is Trichy's Starbucks coffee place, as in US.
What if I have to setup a tea shop and consider it as one of my businesses?? Yes, it is possible. There are two ways - either setup a roadside shop or setup an upscale one like Coffee Day or any Coffee Bar etc., as my friend used to like Visalam Coffee Bar - I have never been there...
It is a real good business to setup a tea or coffee shop in Trichy. It will turn out to be a good profitable business...Think about it!!

Dependant or Inter-dependant Society: Trichy
This article is a follow-up to an article I wrote about a budding entrepreneur. Here is the previous post. Please read the previous post and then read the following...
Today, I called this Mr.X(Name hidden for privacy) and came to know that there is lot of family pressure, against his business ideas and entrepreneurship and risk-taking-attitude. His father-in-law and brother-in-law are opposing for his venture, instead they are expecting him to go for a job.
There is no independence for this guy! What is this? It is his life! He, his wife and his son is a family. How can somebody else interfere in his life? well...hold on... This is Trichy...Trichy is an inter-dependent and dependent society. This is not west, I understand that...However - there is too much control on one's life.
Why should this guy listen to his in-laws? I guess, that is how it is! In fact, in-laws will help, if there is a need and no one would come forward...
In today's modern culture, there is no joint family culture, however there is a virtual joint family culture still existing in Trichy. Even though physically members of the family don't stay together in a same house, still they are together virtually atleast in decisions and for happiness or sadness.
This inter-dependency definitely does not help at all for entrepreneurship!! Hope this changes/improves.

My Trichy Mother - part II
I have written about my mother in one of the earlier posts. Here is the post, click here
My mother was born to Parvathathammal and Sellaiyapillai. Parvathathammal even sold idly and paniayaram in streets for their daily expenditure and to bring up her children. My mother's mother was a very hard working person, hence I guess my mother also became a hard working person. It all depends on parents only for how the children would be.
Three days back, my mother had a eye surgery for cataract. One good thing in Trichy is - Aravind Eye Hospital, Trichy. Operation was successful and Aravind Hospital is doing great!
One unfortunate thing is - I and my wife are not there to help my mother, when she needs us. She had been there for us, when we needed and today we are not there to help her. However, my eldest brother who is Doctor is there to help my mother.
In my childhood days, when my mother is out to office or any relative's function, we would wait for her and we(brothers) miss her a lot. We would wait and watch the door for my mother to come back.
She would bring Masal Kadalai from the corner shop. I like those masaal kadalais very much. I used to fill the masal kadalai into my trouser pocket or shirt pocket and slowly eat.
Anyway, even though I am far away from you my mother - I am always thinking about you and I will come to you soon for helping you.
My mother series will continue...

Jaathagam in Trichy: Moola Nakshathram
My wife's friend who lives in Trichy - is now of age 34 and she is not getting married due to some societal reasons. Do you know what is the reason?
Jaathagam - paazhaappona jaathagam. Looks like she has Moola Natchathiram. Moola Natchathiram is one kind of star, and it seems that not a great star.
If you have moola nathcathiram(moola star or moola Nakshthram), then there are so many restrictions for marriage. Moola star is not compatible with any star person, it seems. If you marry a moola star person, then your father would die - this is what astrologers say! Isn't it crazy?!
That is the reason, our friend is not getting any alliance for her marriage!!! It is like Tamil Comedy Actor Vivek says - "Aayiram periyaargall vandhaalum, ungallai thirutha mudiyaathu"!!!

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...

Trichy Entertainment - Trichy Movies/ Trichy Cinema
Trichy Entertainment - Trichy Movies/ Trichy Cinema
There are lot of movies which has come out with stories based on Trichy lately and in very large quantity recently. All the village subjects are shot in Trichy and the story is based on places like Trichy, Theni, Kambam, Sivagangai, Periyakulam, Dindigul etc., For some reason, tamils(tamils from tamilnadu) all over the world have an idea that Trichy and its suburban people are all hard, rough, uneducated, aggressive, angry, sentimental and illiterate people.
That sounds to be interesting for audience these days. Taking advantage of the fact that people are interested to watch trichy based stories, there are more movies coming out these days.
In olden days, there was an MGR cast movie called Trichy Veeran. Good!
Now, starting with Kadal, Madurey, Trichy Veeran, Vel, Paruthi Veeran, Thimiru, Thavamai Thavamirundhu etc.,
All are huge hits, due to the audience traction to trichy, story, action etc.,
All the village folks songs based on Trichy are huge hits too.
In short, Trichy is hugely seen with its rustic outlook and not with a refined outlook. Will it look good with its refined and non-rustic face. I believe, as change happens, it will look good!!

Is building an orphange Good practice or bad?
Traditionally in India, orphans were accommodated by the extended family. But in western part of the world people built orphanages. The characteristics of orphanages for the last two hundred years have been: • insufficient numbers of staff to meet the physical and psychological needs of the children; • a failure to teach the children how to relate to adults of both sexes, and in doing so learn how to be a woman or a man; • a failure to teach them how to build relationships of their own; • lack of planning of the children’s’ work futures. In Europe, girl babies are put into orphanages, grow up without relationships with boys and men, come out at sixteen, get pregnant . . . and put their girl baby back into the orphanage.
People seem to love building orphanages. The idea makes a nice mental picture – the saintly founders, surrounded by the loving children who are only alive because of them, all in a building that is a concrete proof of their benevolence. But this picture is about the egos of the builders, not what is best for children.
Today, AIDS has brought a large number of orphans. How should they be cared for? The money that can build an orphanage can also be spent on fostering the babies with their grannies and paying an allowance. If there are no grannies, aunties or big sisters, they can be fostered with non-related families. If land tenure is closed to outsiders, then older orphans will do better in towns, where they can be found a Master or Mistress and apprenticed to a trade, and ideally fostered with the Mistress’s or Master’s family.

Be Hungry for facts and information!
Be Hungry and Stay Hungry - not for Pizza, but for Facts!!!
As food is for stomach, facts and information is for our brain.
Be really hungry for the facts.
Listen to information and news audio channels or televisions or read the informative websites. Do not just waste time in only the movie related informative media.
These days, news comes in various ways. Unfortunately majority of our indian media concentrates on the movies and movie related programmes. This is terrible, in terms of culture and growth of the country.
If you are in United States, try listening to NPR news, BBC or CNN! They are awesome. The advantage with "National Public Radio" is - it comes in any city! Another thing is they don't have any commercial in between the programmes. All things are considered! They are awesome in bringing information to the consumers.
I am sure similar stuff is in india as well - like CNN IBN, NDTV etc., Do not just watch the movie based channels. Let us get out of the closet and explore the world.
Feed the mind with lot of facts, automatically there will be lot of processing inside our brains to produce very productive thoughts.

Work hard towards our goals and one single main goal - of Making Trichy a New Trichy!

Good things can be done anytime. It does not need good time to do that. Anytime we can start the transformation!
It is all like a family. Imagine Trichy as a family of four or five people of different natures. Based on all 5 of us, our team work progresses us to achievement and success. based on the goal we set, we move in the direction.

Youngsters - NRMs - Non-Resident Trichyites - please look back!
Youngsters - NRMs - Non-Resident Trichyites - please look back!
I refer to the Trichy based individuals who have gone out of Trichy for the need of work and earning money as Non-Resident Trichyites - NRM. From here, I refer them as NRMs.
We can do a lot, if most of the folks who have gone outside Trichy for various ventures look back and serve the society. This is the real key to our growth to Trichy.
There are lot of wealth built, lot of ideas thought through, lot of energy on hold by many individuals. Manasu irukku, maargam illai. Many people think through about helping the society they have come through. But they don't have the courage and time to execute what they think.
The point I am trying put across is: There is lot of potential, in terms of what we can tap, but just that it is not being done.
Every man and woman should not just be born, just exist and die! There has to be a
meaning to everyone's life! The world we leave should be different than what we came in for the future generations. How many of us think of changing the world, before we
leave!? Atleast be a change, as Mahathma Gandhi said!!
We should look back and serve the soceity. Even 1% of your efforts is a big deal, for the soceity you were brought up in.
To join the force, please check out newtrichy.in and contact us. We can work together to make a change in Trichy.

Corrupt Trichy RTO Office: Had to Bribe in 2000
Please note that the below story is about an incident happenned in 2000. I am NOT sure about the current situation in Trichy RTO office. But please read on about the real incident in the past.
Corrupt Trichy RTO Office: Did Bribing in the year 2000
This dates back to year 2000. Right after my college and my company placement I had training in a local driving school and managed to get trained for 30 days - two and four wheeler training.
I appeared on the day of the license. I did pass in my driving tests. While standing in queue for the application, I had to pay Rs.20 for republic day stamp. I crossed 2 tables and had to pay atleast Rs.20 to Rs.30 to the officers desk.
This is somewhere in the middle of year 2000. I am not sure what is the situation now in Trichy RTO office. This happenned in Bye-Pass Road - South Trichy.
I had to pay because everyone paid. If I don't pay the bribe, I cannot get my license. In fact, I saw the officers in their khakhi pants and white shirts, we going past the queue, when the things are happenning.
I remember it clearly, but I cannot do anything. This happenned in every government office in Trichy. Why should I pay for the government services, provided by the government servants, who are getting paid as salary by the government.
This should change! I heard from someone that these days they don't ask for bribe. Good to hear that and I wish it remains the same.
As said by Tamil Film Director Shankar in his movie "Indian" - casted by actor padmashree Kamalhassan - he says Officers abroad get "lanjam"(bribe), for not doing or overriding some rules and laws, But Officers in India are getting money for doing their duty in India.
God Bless Trichy and overall India!

Trichy under the clutches of rowdies and gangsters
Trichy under the clutches of rowdies and gangsters:
The below viewpoint explains about the majority of Trichy and not all of the local politicians and not all the administrative officials are like the way it is explained below. There are definitely some honest people. Please read on ....
Today every officer and a local politician has to listen to rowdies, criminals and gangsters. Every decision is directed by these RCG (Rowdies, Criminals and Gangsters).
An administrative official is not able to do his duty, due to pressure from various entities in Trichy. Even the local politicians have to ask the RCGs, before doing anything good to people.
On one hand, the local politicians are selfish and try to accumulate their wealth. In another hand, the administrative officials need money to do their duty. On top of all these RCGs pressure these functionaries, for every execution of tasks.
In fact RCGs are one of the main cause of these corruption and costing behaviour.
Overall, who is affected?! None other than the Trichy people. Trichy's economy. Trichy's production...
We need leaders to crash all these inefficient elements. We need rules and orders to make things effective. We need punishments for everyone to abide by the rules of the government.
