My Last day in Villa Angsana...Hopefully I negate this statement very soon

The last one week has been so beautiful and colorful that i indeed came out of all the office and personal trauma and drama which i was indulged in when i was back in delhi. Who knew this, when there is a 360degree fast forward in your life and u enter a completely different zone in this world.. so does ur mindset and thought process. Adengappa yena oru maayam, office la amarnthu mandayai pozhakum alavuku velai irukum bothellam ithu mathiri shift of paradigm kidaithal apadi thaan arumai aaga irukum..

Aayiram thaan irunthalum, yen veedu oru Islamic country il irukindrathu.. But the poor mind doesnt bother about the people, culture, language or surrounding when it comes to home. Home sweet home endru yen koorugirargal.. Veedu kaadil irunthalum athu oru athisaya poonga.. That's the neural network within us :) After all Malaysia is a country that u guys shld write down in ur wish list of places to visit. Apdi mudivu seithal yenaku oru phone podungal, i ll set up a royal carriage service and surprise for u :) yen endral ithu yen ooru yen veedu.. :)

There are several beginnings to this story. How did i land up here out of the blue? Wat were the athiradi actions that had taken place in between sitting in delhi and now sitting in my Kuala Lumpur house and drafting this post? Wat made this official trip the welcoming break i was waiting for? All beginnings lead to the same end.. A long story short.. I am here on a paid holiday endru sollalam :D but yen boss serupaala adipaar.. Athunaala i shall not commit that statement.

There are some thrilling stories behind this armageddon 7day trip. shall put them out in the coming posts. Coming back to the basics, the trip was extremely fabulous and above all i spent a quality time with my parents and bro who apparently have a very good point that its been 2yrs and 8months since i came home last :).. I return 2 my 2nd home happily today with all the items on my Bucket List checked :D. This is wat u call an ecstatic feeling. It was a one week crash course to reviving the Goodie Goodie senthil ;)

My novel journey – part 1

I don’t know how u guys gonna respond to it.. v are already in a drowning boat.. :( Lets all try to fix the hole :) I make my fix with tis post :)
I dunno how to start wit t post.. All I want is to share few moments of my journey wit Chetan bagat’s novels.. some may feel weird.. bcoz in one of my older comments.. I hav mentioned that I don’t read books and t two novels I read in my life are Scarlet pimpernal and Tom sawyer… yeah that was true.. but now t case is different and read 3 of his novels :) :) I have to really thank this guy Chetan Bagat for bringing out this change in me.. His first novel “5.someone”, t story is abt 3 IIT guys.. There are many reasons why I started reading this novel.. Few are,
1. Aamir’s next movie 3 idiots is based on this novel.
2. One of my friends ridiculed me for not reading tis novel.
3. And moreover, the lead character’s name in the novel is Hari.
I completed this novel in 2 nights.. I wish 2 share my first night’s experience (with t novel),
I started this “five point someone” at around 9.some pm after dinner.. though I listed out many reasons, I really started this one to kill time.. :) but on contrary the story enthralled me and pulled me into it.. I neva felt like that bfore.. I felt like watching a movie in that book..:) I wanted to know the next and next… and finished three 4th of the book at around 3.some am t next day.. I really don’t want to close that.. but I have to go office t next morning… I kept alarm at 6 am, knowing that I won’t get up at 6.. after some hours… slowly I was opening my eyes.. tat sound was intolerable..:(:( I want to cancel the alarm and throw my cell away.. I took my cell with my half eyes open.. oh shit!!! That was not alarm.. tat was my cab driver calling at 8:45am for pickup.. f..k:( he had already given me 3 missed calls.. :(:( I called him back and asked him to leave telling him that I was not feeling well :( then I started getting ready for office.. I hav to spend 50 bugs for auto.. on each-day when I miss my cab.. I finally got one after denied for residency road by 4 autowalas.. I started at 9 30, reached office at 10:10.. I was thinking abt the novel in 2hourly basis, that is thinking once in 2 hours.. abt the remainder portion.. I returned back early that day to finish 5.sum1, I started at 7 and successfully completed tat around 10 pm sacrificing my dinner on that day.. :(
I could rate 10-10 for this novel.. I shared my novel experience with my sisters and few of my friends.. they cudnt believe me.. as they know tat I am a book-repellent :) Few months later, my sister presented me “3 mistakes my life” book.. bcoz of my new novel interest.. it had 3 friends.. alike 5.someone.. but t plot is different.. t book is mainly abt cricket and religion.. chetan used some real incidents like guj bhuj disaster and india-Aus match... though this novel fulfilled my expectations.. I cant get t ecstasy in his first novel.. except for the climax chapters.. which are really adrenalin pumping.. I completed tis book in 3 nites and 1 afternoon.. no funny reminiscence to remember wit this novel :( In part 2, i shall discuss about chetan's recent flick "2 states". catch u soon :) :)

Mahjong Solitaire - (上, shàng; and 海, hǎi)

Up, On or Above the Sea. This is what Shanghai literally translates too. A more poetic name for Shanghai switches the order of the two characters, Hàishàng (海上). Leaving behind its strong history in politics and growth during the Song Dynasty, Shanghai is the largest city in the People's Republic of China and serves as the business port of China. So it is basically the Mumbai of China. It is also more commonly known as Paris of the East and the Queen of the Orient. It is also at the mouth of the Yangtze River delta and it stands divided by the Huangpu River as 2 places - Pudong and Puxi.

Which brings us also to the highlight that China's International Airport at Shanghai is called PUDONG. I was so complacent as the climate only 7 degrees when we landed ground and what a coincidence - the first hoarding i saw outside in the dark was HITACHI :).. He he, this brand is most familiar to our generation as it holds a good position in the electronics market as well. But the true face of the presumed climate was exposed the moment we stepped outside the building to board the Audi coach which awaited the arrival of our 6 member team. I was smoking haze and it was stupendously cold - not because of the degree centigrade, but bcuz of the chill breeze which wud freeze u alive if not properly protected with 3 to 4 layers of clothing.

It was not a drastic change as Delhi is equally cold except for the rain with strong wind. I was all prepared for the 5 day journey in similar lines - had my monkey cap ;) jerkins & pullovers. The Audi drove us for an hour into the city to reach the Nanjing Road East where our EAA - GSC Conference was being hosted in the Le Royal Meridien hotel. I should admit, it was by far one of the most impressive contemporary landmarks i have come across. It featured great panoramic views and located in the heart of Shanghai which made it convenient to roam around Nanjing pedestrian street and 10 minutes walk to THE BUND - shopping area by the river.

Now to the rooms, phewwww.. Exotic is the only word which should be used to describe the rooms in there. For those of you who know prashanth (Our year Placement Coordinator), he was my twin sharing roommate. Room 2211 was sparkling, glowing, glossy and upscale. Solla varthai illai. Everything about tat place was cozy. Apram yena, odi poi bed la kuthuki aaramichathu thaan nyabagam iruku. The next thing in my conscience was waking up to the alarm ring from the lobby stating its time for breakfast. Ha ha, ithu allava vazhkai.. Ithu mathiri royal service nobody wud have got even when they were a mummy's lil baby. Hmmm.. apdiyee poi bath tub la ukaantha naan 40 mins kaluchu oru awesome body massage aana feeling oda veliya vanthen. Yena oru vazhkai ada maanida.!Then a day of awesome discussion about the East Asia and Global Service Centre colloboration and operational challenges. Forget about all that, come to the breakfast. Buffet spreadout to the extense of a hallway. All varieties of food.. continental, asian, chinese, western, suburban, fruits, deserts, seafood, pastries, baked, fried, grilled, boiled, steamed.. ella vithamana cuisines.. ellathulayum oru kai vachu pathutu resumed back to the objective of the conference :) - the meeting. Lunch was also equally well organized. Then after a quiet good start we had the evening hours planned for a Crash course to China living.

1. Kung Fu training
2. Calligraphy writing
3. How to make Dumplings
4. Seasons and Food - the healthy way of living.

In the night, the 6 of us from GSC assembled together to prepare ourselves on hand to be able to align ourselves for the presentation our Area IS Director - David Downs was going to present to us the next day. Late nite we crashed. The next day a similar routine and towards the end of the day we were split into 2 teams - 1 Global ERP and Customer Service & Delite. I belonged to the 1st team. We did the brainstorming and after that session I was asked to assist the 2nd team in making their presentation with all the beautification, animation and movie making. 14 of us, ellarukum information modules split panni kuduthutu i was sitting with a colleague who assisted me to construct the actual ppt from the modules produced by the other guys. All 14 of us got together in 1 room and it was great fun and team spirit to see such enthusiasm.

Next day was the actual presentation. I had actually transitioned to the other team for presenting the slides as well. It went really well and I had been given the opportunity to the opening slides and concluding ones. Delighted David was. Hope we stuck the right chord. Then the rest of the day after the PPT was cool, Karaoke night.. dance floor.. dinner with the team and back to the hotel. One of the 6 guys in us is getting married in December. So we threw him a bachelor party.

The next day midday a full body massage was arranged in the Spa closeby. Athuku apram yenala oru bone kooda move panna mudiyala - apdi oru thookam ilukuthu. Room poi super ah oru thookam potutu we assembled back in the evening and went for a discussion which was triggered post presentation the previous day. Atha mudichutu we all went for a proper traditional road side Vegetable Fried Rice dinner 2 streets away from the hotel. Super aana oru finding athu. All the 6 of us had an awesome dinner for the most economical of costs - 4 RMB per big bowl of fried rice. Amazinggg!

The ultimated day was left only for shopping and we went to the copy marked in Xing Wang Emporium. Gokka Makka shopping, bargaining and suthufying. It was awesome. Antha oru shopping experience pathi separate oru post eh eluthalam ;). U must the quality of stuff u get there and u can bargain like crazy. No problem of language as all the negotiations was done via the calculator ;). Company kudutha ella Forex money um athula sutti thalliyaachu :).. Back we were, 10 pm China time in the airport for boarding AI - 349 back home. A befitting climax was that the dinner in Air india was splendid and it made me drool that I requested for another hot pack and had twice the amount of listed dinner menu :)

FUNNY MAIL

I got a mail from i friend which i thought was too funny. so i decided to share it with u. Here it is.....

One day while walking down the street a highly successful
Human Resources Manager was tragically hit by a bus and she died. Her soul arrived up in heaven where she was met at the Pearly Gates by St. Peter himself.

"Welcome to Heaven," said St. Peter. "Before you get settled in though, it seems we have a problem. You see, strangely enough, we've never once had a Human Resources Manager make it this far and we're not really sure what to do with you."

"No problem, just let me in," said the woman.

"Well, I'd like to, but I have higher orders. What we're going to do is let you have a day in Hell and a day in Heaven and then you can choose whichever one you want to spend an eternity in."

"Actually, I think I've made up my mind, I prefer to stay in Heaven", said the woman

"Sorry, we have rules..."

And with that St. Peter put the executive in an elevator and it went down-down-down to hell.

The doors opened and she found herself stepping out onto the putting green of a beautiful golf course. In the distance was a country club and standing in front of her were all her friends - fellow executives that she had worked with and they were well dressed in evening gowns and cheering for her. They ran up and kissed her on both cheeks and they talked about old times. They played an excellent round of golf and at night went to the country club where she enjoyed an excellent steak and lobster dinner.

She met the Devil who was actually a really nice guy (kind
of cute) and she had a great time telling jokes and dancing. She was having such a good time that before she knew it, it was time to leave. Everybody shook her hand and waved goodbye as she got on the elevator.

The elevator went up-up-up and opened back up at the Pearly Gates and found St. Peter waiting for her.

"Now it's time to spend a day in heaven," he said. So she spent the next 24 hours lounging around on clouds and playing the harp and singing. She had great time and before she knew it her 24 hours were up and St. Peter came and got her.

"So, you've spent a day in hell and you've spent a day in heaven. Now you must choose your eternity,"

The woman paused for a second and then replied, "Well, I never thought I'd say this, I mean, Heaven has been really great and all, but I think I had a better time in Hell."

So St. Peter escorted her to the elevator and again she went down-down-down back to Hell.

When the doors of the elevator opened she found herself standing in a desolate wasteland covered in garbage and filth. She saw her friends were dressed in rags and were picking up the garbage and putting it in sacks.

The Devil came up to her and put his arm around her.

"I don't understand," stammered the woman, "yesterday I was here and there was a golf course and a country club and we ate lobster and we danced and had a great time. Now all there is a wasteland of garbage and all my friends look miserable."

The Devil looked at her smiled and told...

Slice the Bread when its Freshly Baked

War of the sexes... As we had some serious discussions in one of our previous posts about male chauvinists and female dominance. I felt this is a widely controversial area which wud rather have most masala compared to the existing topics of heated discussions. As of today, I see no point in looking back at yesterday. Because yesterday seems highly contradicting and impossible to believe. If I tell you women of the Indian Household were once not allowed to speak in the public and abandoned from talking to another man looking at his face into his eyes post their marriage - wud u even think bout convincing yourself on that fact!

As seemingly absurd it is, so much true also ! The irony behind this is that, when you look closer you would realise that probably things are upside down today. All men are tied down to cooking and cleaning and have no say against his lawfully wedded hubby. Anybody who opposes this are free to go to news stands and magazine stores and pick up a Anantha vikatan, kumutham, India today or Thina thanthi and digest this truth. Not a single magazine has ever missed passing a non chalant joke over Indian men facing the trauma of being kitchen grounded or wife's commandment. Well, ladies and gentlemen thats wat we are currently looking at... 'War of the sexes' where does the term originate and in what sense?

"War of the sexes" is a phrase in plain English, it's beyond guessing when and where it started. The actual war, that is, the conflict between sexual roles, began when the first caveman said, "No, I'm not going to start the fire. You know how to do it, and it's your turn." Or his mistress said, "You hungry, you cook!".. In a more modern context, it usually involves confrontation in the battle for women's rights, such as the right to vote, or wear pants, or receive equal pay.

Whenever these conflicts are to some degree settled, new ones begin, for genetic reasons will start a new combat in this never-ending conflict. Here are some very modern realizations which would probably inflict and pitch well on those male chauvinists who still think they are the main cause of 360 degree planet earth spin and every woman who boasts she is the prime center of this globe and that every man is of no good unless he bumps into the magical woman....

"What would men be without women? Scarce, sir .. mighty scarce." -- Mark Twain

"A woman may be able to change the world, but she will never be able to change a man." -- Amy Snowden

"Behind every successful man is a surprised woman." -- Maryon Pearson

"In politics, if you want anything said, ask a man; if you want anything done, ask a woman." -- Margaret Thatcher

"Men are like a deck of cards. You'll find the occasional king, but most are jacks." -- Laura Swenson

"Woman was God's second mistake." -- Friedrich Nietzsche

NOESIS

no·e·sis (n-ss)

n.

The cognitive process; cognition.

---

[Greek nosis, understanding, from noein, to perceive, from nous, mind.]

sounds intriguing isn't it? yep i too feel the same . i am still awe struck about this , so i decided to share my thoughts on this , noesis.Before i share my views i draw inspiration from the lost symbol regarding this topic and am forced not to share certain things regarding the book as it would be a spoiler for those who didnt read it.

Earlier I had written about the post , the power of mind , if anyone recalls , where i had discussed about positive thinking.this post can be considered as a refined version of 'the power of mind'.

man has managed to solve many puzzles regarding his evolution.He is scientifically advanced, but what he does in the process is to forget that everything which he is proving scientifically now has been told by the sages and scholars centuries back, in a language which the lay man can understand .

This is where religion and prayer,team work etc come into picture.We have heard of persons bending forks by continuously staring at them or some persons who heal the sick by placing their hands on them ,or of persons like lance armstrong who battled cancer successfully.it all deals with energy and its relation to thought.

Why do we say as the going get tough the tough get going.It all deals with energy that is generated because of out thought.

We say people fought cancer to be alive again.How is that possible? Its their thought their will to survive that has generated energy powerful enough to modify the orientation of diseased cells into normal ones.

We also would have heard of amirthanandamayi who blesses people by hugging them. its through the hug she transfers the positive energy.

People have totally mis-understood the concept of temples and prayer. why were they formulated?

Imagine if an individual by his thought can generate energy that can modify the cell orientation imagine masses coming together with same common and positive thought . how much effect and energy would that generate.The same goes with negative thought.But where does the concept of religion stand now? terrorism? religion is being used exactly the opposite of the very purpose for which it was created, generating negative energy in the form of terrorism.

One way of infusing negative energy in the body is what we call as BRAINWASHING:)

But using out thought to generate positive energy is easier said than done. It requires much effort . There comes meditation.thats the way people harness the power of thought.

Now an interesting question arises.If thought can generate energy that affects the physical world thought must be having mass. How do we prove it ?

"KELVI KEKAKURATHU EASY ANSWER SOLLURATHU THAAN KASHTAM"

If thought has mass thee the human mind(not the brain),the soul associated with it must have mass?

Time will provide answers.

there is a branch of science called noetic science which deals with all this .You can google for "intention experiment " and read about experiments conducted related to this field.The lost symbol has also referred this book.

After all this arises the mega question that has been haunting minds for years together,WHO OR WHAT IS GOD?

I say,God is the positive energy generated out of our thought , which makes things happen:)many people may be skeptical of what i say. many unanswerable questions will be popped up.all those questions will be answered during APOCALYPSE :)

Apocalypse-

meaning: Great or total devastation; doom. Even the bible speaks about apocalypse ,that we interpret as "END OF WORLD"

Apocalypse (Greek: Ἀποκάλυψις Apokálypsis; "lifting of the veil" or "revelation") is a term applied to the disclosure to certain privileged persons of something hidden from the majority of humankind. Today the term is often used to refer to the end of the world (or Armageddon), which may be a shortening of the phrase apokalupsis eschaton which literally means "revelation at the end of the æon, or age".-source wiki

So the root word of apocalypse means -unveiling or revelation:)

apocalypse is not the end of world but the day where all our ignorance will be shed , when humans will move from dark to light :)thats when all men will become gods or god like i.e the apotheosis of man:)

Apotheosis (from Greek ἀποθεόω, apotheoō "to deify", later the Italian gióvino, "to be made divine"^[1]), refers to the exaltation of a subject to divine level.

p.s the things regarding apotheosis and apocalypse were the info which i got from lost symbol.

SOME PICS FROM INDIA AUS MATCH

crowd frenzy @sachin century

shane watson @ boundary

crowd watchin in stunned silence, aus reach 350

sachin and sehwag batting

Sachin is misplaced

It was yet another terrible loss!! I am unlucky, I dint watch Sachin's awesome innings, and got this update on phone from Rogers who saw the match live!! What an honour, I seriously envy him. You go to watch an Indian match live and your super hero hits 150+ who will ever be so lucky!!

Ever since people started speaking that Sachin was not a match winner I used to jump about and fight telling he has done his duty by hitting so many runs where did your other hero's vanish when Sachin was putting so much effort. And that is a true fact, how many of us can really forget seeing Sachin crying so many times and breaking down so many times. He is simply a genius, but I feel he is totally misplaced. Hardly have people stood beside him and given the support that ought to be given by a team.

When a single player puts in so much effort and scores nearly half of the target, how the hell can he be blamed for not playing a match winning innings?? No way he is a reason for India losing. Where did the so called awesome batting of the prided No.1 Batsman Dhoni go??

Indian team is not worth Sachin...

Sorry Rogers I took the pleasure of starting this first, but please do update your experience :)

The incident that shook my life completely

Hello all...
I dunno whr to start this but i wan u all to b aware of this.
Its abt my dad....

There was this day when my mom n dad went happily to my neighbour's daughter's wedding reception and came back home at night. The next day was normal with my dad getting ready for the office n mom preparing b'fast n lunch for him... Jus then he complained of having ache in his shoulder. N as always he gave self explanation that y'day's dinner might have caused bit of gas problem.
He started walkin, but after taking few steps he was not able to walk further and thought of going back home ( the greatest mistake which he din make ), but his cab came so he went 2 office.
But after reaching the office, he was not able to do ath. So his manager compelled him to go to hospital, which i know he wudnt hav done if nt for his boss. ( Usual act of evry parent). So he called my mom to take his medical book n come 2 hospital.
( our town has only GH n no private hospitals) .
After a clear examination, my dad was made to admit and they said that it was a general check up. And till that time no doctor came to visit. My mom thought there was no necessary to call any1 for help. To say, she s a very bold woman. But at late afternoon, she called one of our close frnds jus for help.

In the mean time, they took, ecg and xray and scan for dad. He was ok by then. He went to bathrooms thrice walkin and then was relaxing. By evening, a doctor came to visit, he then told my mom to call some one for help. My mom was confused, but she did call the uncle. My dad again stood up to go to bathroom, jus then a nurse came rushin in and said him not to. And the doctor immediately gave reference to chennai appollo . It was evening by then. The uncle too came for rescue.

They set off in an ambulance. By dad was speaking normally and at night asked my mom n the uncle to go and have their dinner and then they proceeded. By the time they reached appollo it was 11. And dey took my dad in stretcher and when they called him for some question he was numb. They called his name repeatedly but no response.
The doctors immediately put some injection and gave shock treatment for quite some time before they came to know he was alive.
In the meanwhile, a doctor took my uncle out of earshot of my mom and asked him to arrange for an ambulance coz dey thought my dad won b alive and he cant b brought back to life again.
It was his first severe attack. To exactly say second, coz doc said he had a minor attack when in travel.
I dunno wat to say, if it is by means of God's grace , my dad made it.
Then the regular treatment and they did angioplasty ( they put a small stent inside the artery to let blood pass through ). And he was finally out of hospital after some 3 weeks and now he s leading a normal life.

Now let me list out the mistakes that happened during the procedure which resulted for his attack.

1. The doc in GH, they knew the variation in ECG but neva revealed it to my mom. If dey had done it, she wud hav taken him immediately to appollo and this wudnt hav become this complex.
2. when they identify such variation, the patient is not allowed to walk , coz it means he gives more pressure to his heart which risks his heart attack
3. The doc shud have given an injection immediately after identifying the variation in order to release the pressure in heart, which dey neva did in GH.

N not less my dad. He had BP and doc gave him tablets in which he happily left over a tab called 'ecosprin' 5 yrs back which is very necessary not for BP but for the heart. It is used to purify the blood coming to heart.

If any 1 had been correctly followed, now v won b in such a mentality of fear each and evry day. U dunno guys, each n evry day if my parents don pick up the phone the fear that sweeps through me is like . i dunno how to say. Even if i go home, if my dad fails to snore i wake up n look at him and in the morning if he wakes up late, i ll go n check in his room for his breath.

I neva intended to write this post, but the recent incident when one of my dad's collegue died . He was jus 39, leaving his 2 chilren, 1 s in 1st std n another in 7th. His wife was mentally affected coz of this. His youngest child was nt even aware dat his dad died and was playing in his funeral.

Now i wud like to take things seriously. Let me tel the symptoms of heart attack.
- It is not always necessayry to have a pain in heart
- He ll b suffering from fever and diarrhoea for 1 weeks time
- Pain in shoulders and spinal

N its growing enormously with the IT field with no physical work to do and stress at large amount. SO in case you find any person with these kind of symptoms, ask dem nt 2 b lethargic.
