Well not many of you might know about this "Popular Star alias Mahan or Suriji" as he calls himself, let me tell you about him, he is Surendra Prassath from a small street in Manchester of India. Every one call him as Suri which is his short form, I even cut shorten it to "SU". Coming to the point I met Suri when I was 192 months old. We were in the same section and even lot more characters like NIAZ alias Azz and Shanker alias CHIEF MENTOR OF ALL BOX OFFICE hit VIJAY FILM, even many of them if I start to mention their names this blog wont even finally.
Suri is very calm, intelligent, hard working!!!! ohoh NO NO NO wait. He thought of being like in that way but obviously he didn’t do that. But he has a very good quality which I admire the most he is a great humanitarian might be he wont be realizing but he is!! Because every time when he happened to see a beggar or an aged person he helps them with what ever he has. Then he is thick glue in our friends set. When ever he creates a problem among us, he again works hard to revive that and makes every one as usual. More than that he values friendship a lot. For me he and AZZ were the best friends and also few who entered after sometime in my life.
When ever I went to Coimbatore he is the one who calls me all the time to his home and best food is being served any time when I enter his home by our beautiful mom.
So this is all about his introduction. Let us get into business now. D-day for SU. during his third year in his college he called me once and told he is opting for GRE. later in the third year he took it seriously as his father made him serious. So from then he prepared. Made his first attempt, by the time I made my first attempt for my CAT. His score was bit pathetic but I know he can make up next time. So after we completed our Degree the great recession hit our future with a strong blow. I and Su were made his meal because our companies which hired us made us to wait indeterminately. So then he prepared again for GRE and made his score to boost a bit. This time his parents turned restless because of his way of doing things. So he came to Chennai for working. He applied to two universities in US and got admit from 1 !!!!
Later he applied to VISA, the D Day was on 1 July 2009. He went to VISA interview I was practically more tensed because it decides his future. So I was in anxiety and also little panic. I left him near embassy office and went to a near by church to pray for a while. I in course of prayer I know he cleared. I don’t know what type of praying was going on during that time in Church and even I don’t know what Church is that. But still I know I can pray for well being, that’s what all the religions speak about. Later when I reached outside he came with bright face and told he cleared!!!
I am relaxed now and even feel I won something. This is the feeling I got when my other friend Santhosh got into a University in US.
This is the huge story behind the D-Day of Su. Now he is moving to US in a few days time. I now feel very much for missing him 2 years from now.
One kind help from every one who reads this article, kindly Pray for the well being for all of them in the universe. May every one have a long and prosperous life.This time I realize the truth behind the prayer and its quality of serving this humanity.
Saturday morning around 10 o’clock, I was just wandering in the internet for getting some useful stuff. Suddenly struck by the feeling of brotherhood and came to a site which shows an impressive speech. I hope it will open your hearts too.
" By making the Millennium Development Goals tangible and time-bound, we have shown our collective will and declared our earnestness. Today we have reached the half way mark in time; but we still have far to go to create a more peaceful, prosperous and just world.
Our desire to cut poverty in half by 2015 has met with marginal success because the poor are still not our priority. The working poor are the backbone of every nation, and yet they go hungry. Where do we go wrong?
We can blame today's economic environment. It is indeed out of touch and out of balance. It does not address simple human needs like food, and water and shelter for all. We assume technology will solve our problems. We are proud of our modern cities, our high-tech hospitals, our shining universities, and the bright minds who go on to earn millions; but we are not ashamed of our dying villages and urban slums where populations go hungry, illiteracy is rampant and curable diseases weaken the people.
In a world where food distribution is uneven, where healthcare is based on one's capacity to pay rather than need, where women are vulnerable to HIV-AIDS because they are compelled to provide sexual favors to multiple partners to earn income to feed the family, there is neither peace nor justice.
If profit is our only measure of success, we will be quick to turn a blind eye to the exploitation of our own people and our natural environment. We cannot treat our land, our water, our trees, and our animals as money; instead, let us see them as our wealth. We are ruthless in this race to grab the dwindling natural resources of the world. We refuse to share; we would rather go to war. We spend billions on arms, but who-or should I say-what exactly are we protecting? Certainly not our people! Yet the real wealth of any nation is its people.
Let us remind ourselves that in committing to the Millennium Development Goals, we are in fact pledging to become partners with the poor. It is time for the state to get in partnership with its own people. Let us place the development goals squarely in the center of our National Plans and the National Budget. If a large number of a nation's population is below the poverty line, shouldn.t a large percent of the National Income be spent on them? Let us guarantee a living income, provide social protection, ensure decent work and most important, build communities.
A word that is largely absent from the Development Goals is Work. In my experience, the link between poverty and growth is decent work. Decent work means full employment at the household level; it builds the local economy and strengthens a community. Employers are constantly searching the globe for cheap labor; but the jobs they create abroad cannot build a society, or even a sustainable economy. Special economic zones are nothing but glorified labor-camps; they force migration and the break down of families and society. That is not nation building. Why not provide the same subsidies and incentives to local businesses, to training centers, to micro-lending, and to peoples. initiatives? These are better and more holistic uses of government resources.
Poverty is powerlessness. Poverty cannot be removed unless the poor have power to make decisions that affect their lives. So yes, poverty is a political issue. Sharing power with the people does not threaten nor diminish the role of the government; in fact it enhances it. Government support is crucial for the poor to help themselves.
The active engagement of a community and its organizations in the planning, implementation, and monitoring of the Millennium Development Goals is crucial. The poor are fully capable of evaluating the state of their own poverty. So the voice of the people must carry the same weight as national and international evaluations of the Development Goals. Let such monitoring mechanisms be independent, autonomous, and open to public scrutiny.
And I urge the donor community to spend your good money in building local capacities and the local economy; support the efforts of the poor to build their own organizations so they can decide and manage their own destinies.
Let us pledge once again to embark on a partnership with the poor to bring peace, prosperity and justice to all. If not we will be left with hunger and violence. "
It is my passion to do management studies during my early days in my bachelors. Today I thought of making an article about it. Many reason took me into Engineering. But even now I feel ashamed of not performing well in the subjects and also I didn't got the crux of the subject. For one reason management means a lot to me even now, I can create what I need rather going in terms of negotiations and rules set by some X and Y. Performing in a real time management system: "Simple idea with a great impact always wins" is my motto. For each person there are different reasons to enter each field, but for me the reason is simple, is to serve hungry souls, to give a good shelter to those who are in real need, to give a proper education to the children of heaven. This is the motivating tool which takes me through. Rather to say I must make a money - a paper, or a house made of gold, I am proud to say that i have chosen this option. Passion drives the pleasure for work. I am much passionate about my dream but I am hindered by various nuisance, I am trying to find a good solution for the problems and the problem is with me. I am my self making a illusion about my situation and which makes me to worry a lot. I on going a consultation with my inner soul, Sooner I know and I will make up the situation and start my travel again.
Almost every news paper is displaying this word, with various significance, definitions, reports, expert’s thoughts for this issue. So let us see what’s this issue is exactly about.
To be frank no one could predict when and how this Recession could happen. But experts usually say it could happen due to some reasons and even say the time period over which this could happen. Remember this is just a prediction as we see in stock market, where peoples discuss about various stuffs initially and at the end of day if it happens by chance they have a bright face else they will again propose a theory to prove the contradictory results.
In Japan around 1970 it happened but they say even they haven't revived from that issue.
So I happened to ask my self what’s this mighty issue many times.. From the reference of many text, articles I got only one answer some where the money is blocked and the amount is so huge that no one can imagine usually.
So why is this happens. It’s due to management failure, poor management, people’s insignificant work due to internal politics, also In order to maintain Brand name hype people create false figures and make it work.
Normally if management makes any mistakes some peoples inside some how know it. But why is this major disaster with a pin drop silence. Simple reason being the peoples took them self greedy. Made the whole world panic and humanity to suffer a lot for no reason.
A Short Story to describe the rescission effect:
There lived a farmer named “Balu” with his wife “Rathi” in a village called ‘Saidhanya Nagar’ near “Jaipur” in Rajasthan. His personal belongings were so merely enough for a basic living. His savings only include his own land around 15 km from his home. He traveled by a cycle daily to his farm and takes care of it. Approximately 30% of his annual earning costs for his domestic expenses and 30% for buying raw materials for his farm. In the remaining 40%, 30% costs for his debts which he got for his daughters marriage. And the remaining costs for his medical expenses. Almost all his earning were sufficient for his day to day life with out any savings, It’s not his mistake by virtue because the agriculture is dependent on “Monsoon rainfall”, So if it hadn’t turned up well then he is no way responsible for not making profit but he owns only the pain. So life went on for him and he won’t let him self into another business not because of the problem in the capital, but also the people see him and his generation as agriculturalist so if he does another business no one will afford to buy his goods. One fine day all the prizes shook up for no reason, all the peoples in the village went to village Panchayat in search of a favorable reply. The Panchayat officer asked them to wait till evening so they did. In the evening officer called all of them in and asked them what’s the query? The people told the whole story, the officer understood their concern and told there happened recession in the United States of America, due to collapse of major market all the individual players here started to increase the prize. All were so upset because for no reason they were being charged extra. Some X or Y did some thing that too some where around 7000 miles far from their land, But they are being charged. All shouted at each other. The Officer was nice gentleman, So he told every one not to worry and assured them the situation won’t sustain much and it will be brought to end sooner.
Even though they were not happy they thanked the officer for his favorable response and his assurance and all left. Many of them in the village had some saving, Even though the market is not good now, they can sustain them self by keeping their minimum saving for atleast 2 months. But its not the case with Balu. He has to earn daily for his living. So he was afraid of what he is going to do. He returned sadly to his home. And Rathi saw his dull face and asked the reason and he told the whole story. She felt sorry and boosted him with good words and gave him confidence that they can do some thing and revive them self back.
As she was comforting him she told a old proverb “Where there is a will there a way”. So asked him not to lose his hope.
By next day as usual he went to his farm by cycle. As he went on he saw his friend “Shanker” a pot maker in his village. He just spent some time with him. Shanker told him that even his business became dull after the recession as peoples afford less money to buy his pots else they ignore to purchase so he was forced to sell in lower prize to the dealers in the city, Balu also explained about his situation and comforted him he is far better than his state and left the place. He went to his farm, since he had no money to buy raw seeds, fertilizers and other stuffs his farm was empty and had only lawn on it. He sadly went in and lied on the lawn for some time till evening. When he is about to leave he saw some shining material was glowing near his leg. He looked at that closely it was “Sea Shells” He dig the area and saw enormous amount of it. About 10 kilograms of sea shells were there. He was astonished by seeing that. He took all of them and went home. By entering home Rathi also saw that. She liked a lot those shells. So later on after they finished the dinner, Balu went near his farm in the back side of his house and enjoying the pleasant breeze. By the time Rathi took those shells and made like a beautiful art. She stitched all those shells in various shapes like triangle, square, flower etc. She almost made 10 -15 such creation. She showed it to Balu, he was thrilled by her creativity and for her marvelous work and he praised her. By next day his friend Shanker (Pot maker) came to home to visit him. As they were chatting he saw the creations made by Rathi. He asked who made those, Balu told the whole story and told he was thrilled by the creativity. Shanker even told the same, he told he need to pay around 100-150 Rupee to get these kind of material for making his pot beautiful and for attracting the customers in the city.
So Shanker asked for a favor to Rathi for making these in various kinds and give it to him whereas he would pay them 200Rs each for those arts.
Both Balu and Rathi were happy and accepted the offer. By next day Balu went to his farm and he dug the whole area and in many places he found the shells. That should bring around 100-150 of such art work made by Rathi. So now they have their new business and started out to do that. So they revived from their so called recession and made a fortune career.
Recession is a huge loss of money in the world, No one could believe that he is responsible for the issue and pay the amount from his pocket. But in reality this happens, No matter who you are and what you do. Only by creativity in terms of good ideas and fortune returning minds could make this leave the humanity. So keep trying you can make it happen in your way. BRAVO!!!
It was around Friday evening on 8May 2009. I took a brisk walk to IIT Madras to meet my cousin. He was busy with his gadgets in Chemistry lab. He called me for snacks, So went to staff canteen and took dosas and a coffee. It costs less than 20 rupee on the whole. Then we went to lab again for finishing his work. Later we moved to other side of the IIT near Guindy gate. My cousin told he has some works there and we moved there suddenly within 5 minutes of time we entered a bakery and he ordered for a chocolate cake. I asked him what’s the reason, suddenly I remembered there is going to be my birthday tomorrow.
So there comes May 9 my day around 22 years back a soul was given to earth from heaven for a enabled purpose and to find the truth. I was thrilled and surprised to have it on the whole. So after some time we finally decided to step into our home. After dinner around 11pm. We started our usual night chat. As the time was nearing 12am, my uncle and sister went there for preparing the cake and stuffs. Exactly at 12, Suri another best friend called me and wished me. It was splendid moment during my each birthday that Suri usually call me first and wish me. Even though I normally forget to do the same for his birthday. Then comes Santhosh, Sambu and Niaz's turn, another fellow members in our group of friends and to be more specific chief mentor for me thro all the time, who makes me as I am in all activities, who makes me think what I need indeed. So they called me and wished. So as it went on the cake and decorations were ready by the time and it was so much memorable moment for to cut that since after very long years I am doing it. My sister and uncle presented me a branded shirt and pant. So obviously no words to express my gratitude to them. Around morning 10 pm i got up as usual and messaged my E4e friends for a tea party. But i got only few replies and I asked my mom to prepare heavily for the party. She almost started her preparation in the morning. By the time of 4 pm I was expecting every one. But none turned up. Around 5 I was worrying as no one turned up still, but finally Shyam came and with in few minutes Sunil also joined him. These both were waiting for around 2 hours for the other friends to turn up and start the party. Around 7 pm Balaji, Visu,Rat and Rad, SrinathSudha and Ariv turned up. I was chatting with my other uncle in my home. I haven't noticed any of them as they closed the door beside me and stopped me seeing what’s happening there. My mom and sister helped them to this, some thing great shock which they gave me here. After some time Srinath arrived in and closed my eyes and took me to the hall. when he opened the eyes I was in front of a huge cake, I was so much thrilled not because the cake was huge and luckily it was my favorite Black forest too, but all my friend's economy status was bit poor since we were fired from our job 2months before. I asked them why? they told its our gift. All my tears came to my cheeks but they would feel bad so I controlled myself. Then cut the cake and passed it to every one. As a usual procedure half the cake was in my face. Then my mom served hot payasam and vadda. By the time Visu gave me a packet and asked me to open it. I asked why? No one explained. Rather they are gave a smile and asked me to wear that. I went to my mom and uncle to show that. My uncle looked at the brand, he was immediately taken to shock it was "Genesis". He told it is costly and too branded. I was taken to shock once more. I asked them why again. They all just gave a smile and with no reply.
"Real friends show their anxiety and love at all the time, No matter whether they are employed or not, whether they have enough money to buy me a gift or not, its their true nature"
Blown by a strong wind never before I was speech less for two days after this incident.
It is a fact that all shock need to be relieved, I myself in that status as of now, But not sure when I could really help all these closest members in my life. Waiting for the moment to happen, May be with in a year I could realize that well.
It’s almost going to be the election time. All the political parties have started their campaigning and are moving in a hot speed. One day when I was about to cross the road there happened to be a big JAM. I know in a country like India Traffic Jam is a part of the heritage. But this jam is due to Political Party campaigning and one guy started and was continuing for a period of about 5-7 hours. All the time the peoples have to take another route which means to have a major Jam. And the guy started to speak about all non sense the other counterpart did, of course it seemed to be true. He said the resources were not managed efficiently, He asked CBI to take steps to looks at that.
The same guy before fours during his term did the same act and was brought before the law, but he cautiously cleared the case and is now standing in the election. He had already been in several cases like that even before. What made him to stand in the election with such a profile? He is not the only such guy report says more than 80% of the politicians have pending cases of which they are involved, But we as a public elect them again with no means and they again create same disaster. What a stupid act we are making?? Is that is the country requires and is that going to revive the economy?? The questions are unanswered until efficient, young, dynamic, truthful managers take up this country to become successful.
Jai Hind
