June to September 2011

Domestic: Back to blogging!!! Greetings.. It was a topsy - turvy 4 months. Lots of ups and downs.. But due to God's grace and Elders Blessings went on smoothly. Mother was in hospital for 4 days - little concern. Both the daughters Sai Smriti and Sai Roshinii was also fell ill - with Sai Roshinii not going to school for about a week. But as Vidhu was at that time having Quarterly Vacations schedule was not affected. Vidhu as well as myself was also fell to Flu Virus and i didn't attended office for a day. Weather was particularly bad - rain, Sun, Damp weather in a circle it coming like that and it affected us.

Politics : The most amazing moment is the Anna Hazare campaign for Jan Lokpal Bill - Anna Hazare went for FASTING satyagraha movement for 11 days to get the Jan Lokpal Bill passed in Parliament. It was a daily show, drama in Television with Live coverage for 24*7, show by Kabir Bedi, Fight between Swami Agnivesh and Team Anna. Went from one pole to another pole. The best part is the Goof-up by the UPA-II in handling the crisis. First they arrested Anna on the day of Fastine and released on the same day, but anna hazare didn't come out of the Tihar Jail for 3 days. Then government capitulated and gave him permission first for 7 days, 15 days then till whatever time he wants - firs in a park then in Ramlila grounds - a classic case of mis-handling (how a crisis should not be handled). Initially PC and Kapil Sibal were handling Team Anna later both of them were replaced by Salman Khurshid, Ajay Maken, Vilasrao Deshmukh.. Then BJP jumped into the bandwagon - queered the pitch (try to gain advantage in the muddy waters)supported the movement, LK Advani announced a rath-yatra against the corruption etc., BJP CM in Karnatake - B S Yeddyurappa resigned due to corruption charges.. Last week Narendra Modi conducted Sadbhavana Mission - Fasting for 3 days for communal Harmony (ironically in Gujarat), counter fast by congress led by shankarsinh waghela.. Good Time pass by 24*7 coverages.. In the end common people couldn't recognise or understood what is Jan lokpal Bill and what is Lokpall Bill - but wanted No Corruption!!!!

Now 2G is not ending - past two days PC is under the scanner (because of a note given by the Finance Secretary with approval from Pranab Mukherjee ) stating that Raja and PC decided that 2G spectrum can be allotted for 2008 in 2001 prices when the Finance Committe and DOT recommended Auctioning or atleast in 2008 prices.. PC has to answer, he is keeping silent - maybe there willbe NEWS after PM comes back from UN..

Sikkim Great Tragedy - earthquake measuring 6.8 in Richter scale . Still not able to estimate the losses as the terrain is still unapproachable. Still some places are to be covered. Even in normal times Sikkim is in a very difficult terrain - distance between two villages or cities or towns are in Located in Hilly places with difficult terrains. And due to Earthquake landslides and also heavy rain lots of places making the rescue efforts very difficult. Some places it took more than 4 days to reach the place after the quake struck on Sunday 6.11 PM 18th September 2011. Till yesterday it was estimated about 80 deaths in sikkim itself and Sikkim CM announced that Financial Loss is about crores of rupees. The earthquake affected places or felt in WB, Delhi, Nepal, Jharkand, patna etc., As usual Army (ITBP) eventhough they suffered helped the victims and people of Sikkim tirelessly.

Cricket: India after a high of World Cup victory went to Westindies and started with One Day matches 5 in all - with top players missing and Suresh Raina leading the side beat the westindis 3-2. Then Test series started with MSD back inthe squad but God, Sehwag, Zaheer missing the action won the series 1-0 .. but it was not a clinical finish victory it was hard fought in a sense eventhough we came un-scathed. Rahul Dravid is the only batsman who socored a century.
Then India went to England for 4 match test series and 5 one-day matches - it was supposed to be a great series alas!! we were white-washed 4-0, pathetic showing by Indians in all departments of the game (fielding, bowling and batting) with only the WALL coming out with 3 centuries in the series. GOD - didnt scored a century so didn't achieved the landmark of Hundreds of Hundreds. It was a very low-key series for GOD... Injury to all the key players in the series - was a pathetic one and showed us in very poor light (Injury Management) Zaheer got injured in the first innings of first test in lords after bowling only 13 overs (he took two wickets) - this changed the complexion of the whole series and india in all the matches were with only 3 main bowlers.. It was a great miss by zak. England was much better prepared and India couldn't faced the onslaught and there was never a comeback. India also lost the 5 match one-day series - missing 8 players who played and won the world cup just 3 months back (all with injuries)...

Australia beat the SL - 1 Nil in the test series in SL.. Comeback for Aus. Turmoil in Aussie Cricket after the release of the Argus committee report after the debacle of Ashes Series..

Formula 1 - Sebastian Vettel is roaring to another F1 Crown with all others are in Catching Up Mode only. Ferrari, Mclaten, Renault all are no match to Red Bul, they are miles ahead of others. Newdelhi is hosting the first ever F1 race in India - October 2011. Going to be a huge success...No Doubt.. Good work by Jaypee Industries who are the sponsors and owners of the Race Circuit in Noida..

EPL - Started in the the same vein with ManU going strong... Arsenal dipping... Chelsea struggling lost to Manu last week. It is the start of the season - so we cannot predict. Anything can happen in future.

From SunSmart - May 2011

Good Day to All!!! Back to blogging after a lengthy hiatus. Due to various reasons was not in a mood to blog between January to March 2011. Even so after Indian Cricket and 'GOD' created History by winning the World Cup!!! Somehow my mind was not 'IN' there.

January: Nothing Much happened Officially. Another month went without 'Salary'. Once again drove down to 'Fund Office' kept another set of Jewels (Pawned) and ran the month. Good thing happened was 'Message came from' near source about sabarimalai.. I took this opportunity - i thought thought there is a message for me. So i jumped into the opportunity and with blessings of Ayyappa, VRamani (Guruswamy), Mother and with the approval of Vidya put 'Malai' and was into the 'Vridham' for next one month.. It was very good experience, we can even say it was an exhilarating experience. Had bath (hair bath) for two times a day, to pray for ayyappan for two times. Limiting the diet and etc., Went to Sabarimalai on fed 12th.. What anliss experience in Sarimalai.. Oh!!!! i realised why people go to see the Lord after putting such an effort.. Climbing from Pamba to Sabarimalai - two steeps to cross - Erimeli.. it was really an effort. It was only Ayyappan guiding us to climb. From small kids to very elderly people and Seeing the LORD after that is such a wonderful experience. One more swamy helped and taught us how to have multiple dharshans of the Lord even in that such a maddening crowd. Then early morning dharshan was also very excellent. Three days of blissful dharshans and other experiences. Guruswamy scarred us while climbing the Pamba - after walking for about 15 minutes he became very weak, couldn't able to walk, he felt very dizzy (he didn't took sugar or pressure tablets for two whole days). By grace of god i had 'Tenormin 50' in my pocket and he also uses the same . he had that and due to exhaustion he also went 'Motion' and we put him on the 'Dholi' and he reached the peak safely. I helped other swami and carried his irumudi along with mine and reached the sabarimalai. It took us 3 hours to go up and took an hour or so to climb down. Climbing is much more difficult, we have to be careful.. but god is there, believe in him and we can climb up and down easily..

February: Went to sabarimalai - started from Chennai to Tenkasi by train. Had a good experience .. when we left after getting the irumudi, we started from Guruswami's house - the van driver took a wrong route and we came back to the same junction from where we started. I told the 'party' that better we go to Tambaram and catch the train rather than egmore. We reached tambaram 30 minutes before the arrival of train. From Tenkasi took a van (earlier arranged) went to Courtalam, had a bath , took breakfast near shencottah (mani's eatery) and reached pamba around 4.30 PM. In between went to Achankoil.. In Pamba had coffee and climbed pamba mountain to reach the sabarimal . Had dharshan and went to our room. Early morning had one more dharshan and started climbing down. Reached pamba around 9.00 Am and started from there and reached tenkasi around 2.30 PM. Took some rest and went to Kadayanallur Anjaneyar temple and next morning had dharshans of Achankovil, aryankavu and koluthupuzha.. and reached tirunelveli in the evening. Caught the train and reached chennai next day morning.

Final days in Maxsoft!!!! Nothing much to write about that. Good experience for about 4 years met good people like Mahesh, Anu, Balu, Archana.. Good mentors like Kanna mama, hema mami, mohan etc., It was very nice - all god's grace. When we enjoyed the Fruit we also should experience the bitterness and sourness of the fruits..

In all these turbulences - one women deserved my Kisses, Kudos, Salute everything. She is my other better half - Srividya She deserves a very big Hug.. Endured the Pain along with me, gave me joy and happiness. Also deserves my gratefulness to my Mother, Brother and 3 sisters, who all gave me moral support. Didn't troubled me or nagged me regarding the Job, salary etc., 2 Gems of my life - sai smriti and sai roshini - don't know the problems but gave me the 'Moral Support' i need...

Well. there are something we need to endure in our life. All for Good. With good mentoring and moral support spiritually from Kanna Mama and 'Swamy' with me - all for good. Now with their blessings got a new job in SunSmart Technologies..

March: World Cup started with bang - india defeating bangladesh,. Sehwag hitting a great century. GOD came good against SA and Eng Scoring two great centuries - reaching 98 and 99 centuries in International Matches. Yuvraj lived upto the expectations. He had a fantastic tournament, Man of the Tournament was awarded to him. India had a good match against australia - tendulkar leading the way scoring a magnificent Fifty and helped india beating them. World Cup Semifinal - cannot be bigger than this - meeting pakistan in Mohali. Beat them hands down... God with 4 lives scored a 83 - missed his 100 centuries.. India in Finals @ Wankhede against SL. What a match, what an occasion. Full House... India winning at the end - great captains knock by Dhoni. God carried on the shoulders and paraded around the ground by Players.. It was a great moment.. God Really deserved this. The team dedicating the World Cup to 'GOD'... Atlast one trophy missing from his cupboard has been filled.. India deserves to be the World Champions..

April: First month in SunSmart Technologies. Sundar is having great ideas.. Know him previously - worked with him in Netsavvy and SolutionNet... Got good friends like VRK, KS... Happy and relieved when i got the Month's salary - felt like a guy who has the 'FIRST' salary in his career. Really heartfelt thanks to Sundar.. Helped me and finally reduced my Worries...

Cricket: Can we really miss out cricket? World Cup ended and IPL started. GOD once again made a mark.... Hit T20 Cricket Hundred in Wankhede. Missed out in World Cup Final scored a excellent hundred - reached the coveted landmark in the last ball of the Innings.. MI is leading the pack - with 11 matches and 8 wins... Happy to know that Sai Smriti and getting actively involved in Cricket with world cup and also in IPL..

Sad News: Bhagwan Sai Baba left his body in the earth.. Great loss to Humanity.

Election: AMMA Back in the Saddle.. Landslide victory - assembly elections trouncing DMK. Winning 203 seats out of 234... Jaya Jai....

Mamta defeating the Reds in the WB. Left losing the election after 34 long years.
