For the seekers of knowledge
Can there be a knowledge?
better than
The Knowledge of The Divine, Shri Rama!

The one who liberated
Even the blades of grasses
And all the swarms of ants

Leaving none behind

In the Good City of Ayodhya

And placed them in
An exotic heaven
Created exclusively for them
By the Great Grandshire Brahma!

Sin and poverty
It cleanses and shrinks

My Lord's Story: Goodness Incarnate

Ramayanam in English poetry.

The Supreme Lord of the Universe was once born on this earth as a Human Being, faced challenges and had His share of pain and pleasure going through both good and bad times like any of us. Like any of us He too, took His turn in laughter and cry.

This humility of The Lord, that makes Him come down to earth and share with us our difficulties to show us a way to handle them is what I admire in Him. This quality of Him, makes me surrender to Him unconditionally and makes me want to sing His Glory on and on and on.

My Lord's Story is an out pour of my devotion that seeps out in gratitude for the pains He took to be a lighthouse for us, to cross the ocean of Samsara.

How I and my life kicked each other.

I've read some blogs which are bent upon tickling your ribs till you laugh to death. This article is such an attempt.If this artcle makes you laugh, thanks to my sense of humor. If it eats up your time keeping you lip tight, then you need to hand over Mr.Salil Ravindran, Who's me?, to the FBI. He is the one who inspired me in doing this.

I worked as an RJ for one of the most prominent radio stations in Chennai. For one minute. But since I repeated every word twice to make sure the listeners hear me properly, they said I was over qualified. Poor fellows, couldn't identify the genius in me in one minute. I wished them better luck next time and came back.


There are quiet a number of fellows who haven't identified the genius in me. One such dude is Narayanamurty, INFOSYS.


He asked me, "If Sam is shorter than Robert, ROBERT is shorter than Michael, Michael is taller than Alex, Alex is not taller than Sam. Who is the shortest?"

I said, "Simple. Sam is the shortest. Just three letters"

I don't know why, but I had to wish him better luck next time.


Mr. Shiv Nadar must comparatively be a luckier person. Though he too felt that I was over qualified for his technologies company, he requested me not to spoil his BPO concern which was doing excellent.

So HCLBPO Chennai got a great genius as its employee.

There after five to six months of intense, severe and spartan training I hit the floor, with my head.


One fine evening I woke up to see the backlight of my mobile going on and off. It said Teamlead calling...

I picked up the phone. "Hello"

"Hey Ramesh, where are you? Your team is already logged in"

My God! Why did I handicap this creature from its screaming abilities? I looked around here and there and saw my Grandma's photo. Thank God and Grandma.

I said, "John, my Grandma.... my grandma... DIED!"

"Why didn't you inform earlier?"

"She didn't inform me either"

The call got disconnected. I lay on the bed cursing myself for killing my grandma. I could have killed her some other time. Just a headache would have been sufficient for this. By now, I know, you would have concluded that I lied to my team leader. I am sorry. You have completely misunderstood me. My grandma actually did die. But that was ten years ago. And I love her very much, at that time she helped me quit my quarterly exams.


The next day I was awake and ready when the cab came to my house. But I was in a dilemma whether to go or not. I can't keep wasting leaves, so I decided to go. Won't it take at least two or three days for someone to come back, when they take leave for their grandma's death. I wasn't sure. But I knew, me going today would be unnatural.

So I went straight to my Team leader, who was happily surprised seeing me on the floor, and said, "John. My grandma actually didn't die. She had just fainted. We took her to the hospital and now she is doing fine."

His bright smile faded and he gave me crossed eyed look which made me put my head down. May be he understood I was planning to kill her some other time.


After a few days it so happened that a customer liked me very much that he went on talking to me, increasing my AHT and my Team leader's and mentor's BP. As a person who believes in smart work rather than hard work, I asked him whether he could see a cable running from the telephone to the wall jack.

He said, "Yes."

I asked him to pull it out.

He said, "I see two cables coming out of the wall jack. One goes to the modem and another to the telephone. Which one should I pull out?"

I said, "Both."

“Okay. Give me a second.” And the call got disconnected.


The person in charge of quality had been listening to this. He already was very much impressed about my arguing skills, which I exhibited aggressively during the previous feed back session. He came running with joy, with the above conversation typed in a white sheet and gave it to me proudly. I also saw the following lines. “Agent guided customer into disconnecting call”

I said, “I intended to say, both lines should not be disconnected, but the customer was in hurry”

The quality person laughed. If you had seen old Tamil films, you could have seen the villains laughing such laughter.


I was asked to relax in the training sessions. I wanted to celebrate this occasion by eating to my heart’s content. I went to a Punjabi Dhaba Express. There I saw the girl, whom I then wanted to propose, having lunch with a guy who was much uglier than me. Every body turned to my direction hearing an explosion that arose somewhere near my shirt pocket. Till today I live with the hope that it was not my heart.

That day, the great genius decided to be with HCLBPO no more.


I hope Mr. Shiv Nadar, doesn’t mourn for it till today.

But unofficially speaking, yes, all the characters in this work are 100% alive, 200% eating and 300% rocking this earth and don't intend to stop until it falls off its orbit.

Nice Experience.

Yesterday I watched Raman thediya seethai.

I am happy I watched it.

It was a nice experience watching a movie with characters who are really human and reflect the kind of people we watch in day to day life.

Though there are three heroes in the movie, the protagonist is an eligible bachelor who is in search of a life partner. In his young age he had lost his sanity and had been treated for it. Though he is perfectly okay now he doesn't want to hide it. This ends up in many girls rejecting him. How he, his friends and his well-wishers react to this delicate issue is what the film is all about.

I would appreciate the director for making use of all the interesting factors that is involved in the search of a bride and in marriage.

At one instance the bride elopes away, the day before marriage. In another, the hero sees an auto driver who is truly in love with the girl whom he had just approved of. Being a soft hearted person he himself talks to the girl about the auto driver and encourages her to accept him. In another case he goes to see a girl in a political party meeting where the girl, who is a Police Inspector, is in vigilant security for a minister and ends up getting kicked by her. [The scene that follows is real fun.]

Cheran, the actor turned director, has played the lead role. He deserves much appreciation and applause. He breaks the myth about an hero's image. He also challenges the actors with star value by his simple and to the ground way of acting.

There are two sweet surprises in the movie. Pasupathi, who plays a blind RJ and Nithin Sathya, who is a thief in the beginning and turns to honest living after falling in love.

The scene in which Pasupathi plays saxophone inside his house while his girl stands in the street and accuses him of being a coward is simply adorable. Similarly his introduction scene, the way he deals with his love, the fight he has with the rash bike drivers are all simply awesome. Though a blind man fighting four guys doesn't fit into logic it is enjoyable.

Nithin sathya is a real delight. The marathon he runs is tickling as well as touching.

I admired the hero's character. He doesn't blame anyone for his bad luck. Nor does he hold any grudge on any one. When he meets the girl who eloped away putting him to shame, he only melts for her present situation. When he meets the girl who rejected him three years ago, he warmly greets her. When someone suggests to propose to her one more time, he says humbly, "No. She has already rejected me. We shouldn't keep disturbing some one." He is truly a RAMA except for the majesty. As a devotee of Rama, that's what I felt.

I wouldn't say this movie is technically excellent. Nor is it a classic.

But I would bet that this is a movie with innovative thinking, original creativity, healthy comedy and an interesting screenplay.

Best wishes and hearty congratulations to the team.

Laugh. Its healthy.


1 ) Long back, a person who sacrificed his sleep, forgot his family, forgot his food, Forgot laughter were called

"Saints"

But now they are called.. " IT professionals "


2 ) An interesting line written at the back of a Biker's T Shirt:

"If you are able to see this, please tell me that my girlfriend has fallen off"

Love is always present.. Its just that,

One loves too much, And

the other loves too many,

Factory is not responsible for accidents occurring outside the company..!

5. ) Philosophy of life

At the beginning of married life, every gal treats her husband as

Fear is the Deep, Wrenching feeling in your stomach
When pages of your book still smell new and Just few hours left for your exams...!

7. ) Useful

Someone has rightly said, "A fool can ask More questions that a wise man cannot answer"

No Wonder why so many of us speechless when lecturers ask question..!

8.) Girl:

Do you have Cards with sentimental Love quotes?

Shopkeeper:

Girl:

To recite in front of liars.


Big Big lies
Small Small lies

Huge Huge lies
Tiny Tiny lies

Cute Cute lies
Sweet Sweet lies

Lies by men
Lies by women

Lies by boys
Lies by girls

Lies in War
Lies in Love

Whenever you feel like having fun
Use them limited quiet often
And put them in a waste paper bin
Take care you don't incur sin...!

Statutory warning:
Reciting this poem in front of a person stronger than you and who is capable of understanding your intention may lead to physical injuries, bruises and even a fair amount of blood shed.

Are you able to see "LIAR" in the picture?

Just joking...



A mosquito
sits on me...
Not wanting to kill
I chase it...
It flies around me
trying to teach perseverance...
Poor creature
doesn't know
I've not yet learnt
Patience....
