First and foremost amazing performance from the young INDIAN Cricket team to snatch the T20 World CUP title. I would like to share some of the important things which I noticed during the T20 World Cup Finals between India and Pakistan.
The temperament these young guys has needs to be appreciated for sure, Kudos to Ghambhir for the remarkable innings made by him. It was a real great team effort showed by the INDIA Team. With respect to performance I really doubt that should Harbhajan Singh needs a place in the Team. Poor Bowling from him has troubled INDIA a bit, really disappointed by the way he bowled the slog overs. A couple of full toss deliveries a wide, It was really atrocious to see an experience bowler bowling at that point of time. Anyways thanks a ton to him because without his great performance we would not witnessed a thrilling win instead would have won the match pretty easily.
The attitude of the Pakistan players is becoming worse and worse day by day. Where does Muslims comes in to picture in a Circket match? When Shoaib Malik was called by Ravi to express his views about the match, He clearly stated that he thanks Pakistanis and other Muslims around the world for their support and also expressed his apologies for not winning the match. Pakistan is his country what to do with the muslims around the world. Hope he had forgotten that the Man of the Match Y’day was Mr. Irfan Pathan who is also a muslim.
Then comes our hero Mr. Shahid Afridi, He started of by praising lord Allah, Don’t know why Pakistanis are much interested in expressing their religion and their faith on that in a Cricket (Global Religion) Match. You have lots and lots of media to talk about religion and many more forums are available for the same. Please use them and not any sporting ceremony. The only consoling this is that he wished Indian Cricketers (Hope for the First Time).
[Note: I do not have any intentions of hurting anyone’s religious feelings, Just thought of sharing my views on that]

Why Not Permit Rooms @ Office ;-)
Recently visited a local permit room in our lovely city of Chennai, where we can find all categories of people. Got hooked to lot many discussions going on there and some really impressed me a lot. Just thought of sharing them with you all…
Scene 1:I came across two guys from a different (IT) company it seems, they started their discussions casually and some real great best practices sharing happened between them. Those guys discussed right from Coffee Vending Machines to the C*O strategies (Of Course some fun and comments here and there). They were pointing some good decisions taken by their management guys as well as criticized some flaws they made. Some real new ideas too boosted there in the discussion…
Scene 2: This Scene took place none other than a petty shop next to the permit room, there I saw a daily coolie expressing some management concepts over his hand phone. Looks like there were some conflict between his employees and he is the supervisor in some other site, he is just advising his counterpart saying (in Tamil) “Vela seira idathula naama yellam santhoshama irukkanum, Appo than vela seiyya pudikkum. Ithula poi nee chi naan chi nnu sonna vela seyyave mudiyathu…” meaning “We should feel happy at our work place only then we will feel great to work, In the mean time if we find faults on others they we will not be in a position to work at all”. Just to take this to our corporate world we keep on insisting about FUN at Work, Great Work Environment, Team Building Etc.. but this guy has simply expressed what we are struggling to implement in out work place…
Keeping these things in mind why not all the Corporate Companies have a Permit Room in their premises ;-)… Hey this is on the funny side.. My Question is why people come out with such great ideas in permit room and why not at work… :-)

Where are Government Officials / Policies heading to?????
Everyone in our Singara Chennai would be aware about the Auto Drivers and their attitude in getting a sky high sum of money for using their service… sorry Auto (Coz no one is doing it as a service now). In order to streamline the charges quoted by the auto drivers and for the benefit of the Auto Drivers as well as public out government had revised the meter rates and increased a considerable amount as flat rate. Further Government has issued notice in the media that the revised rates should be implemented within 3 months and also published a couple of telephone numbers (044-26445544 & 044-26444445) in case of any disputes / discrepancies in it.
One fine day when I was returning back to home I saw my friend looking for Autos in from of my house, thought of helping him out and joined him in his Auto. The Auto driver asked Rs 130/- for just 4 to 5 kilometers which would cost less than Rs 50/- from our place. The Bargaining deal started, and in the middle of bargaining I just remembered the above mentioned measure taken by our government and asked in to turn on his meter and will pay according to that. The Auto driver never gave his ears to that and he was demanding Rs 120/-. Luckily I had those numbers stored in my mobile, while speaking to him I just asked the Auto Driver to wait and tried calling the number. Our Super Hero Auto Driver looked like has guts to face any issues. He clearly said if required you can even call Our CM and nothing can be done to him.
Am not sure whether the call will be picked from the other end, to my greater surprised the call was picked and a guy responded from the other end. I just conveyed the issue and gave the Auto Number to him, In the mean time the auto driver got tensed and flew away from the place.
I was asked for the RTO details associated to that Auto which I was not aware about and at last managed to get that as the same was painted at the rear side of the Auto. The Respondent had clearly said me that the problematic Auto belongs to Mambalam RTO and I need to get in touch with them, also he had given the Mambalam RTO number to me. Further he added on and said that there will be no response If I call them and I need to physically go give them a written complaint and later they might take some action against the driver.
Am really surprised if that is going to be the case then why the hell our Government has issued these numbers? And the other thing is If I need to go there physically and lodge a complaint then I need to take up some other Auto with the same kind of problem.
The only satisfying was the Auto Driver had left the place as soon as I started speaking over phone, else I would have been a joker to him.

AADI SALE (5% - 50% Off)
No one in Tamilnadu that too people from Chennai can say that they have never heard about “AADI SALE”. Cutouts and banners were covering the whole city regarding the AADI sale and moreover Televisions bring those ads directly to out living room. I have been hearing about these aadi sales just 6 – 7 years before, earlier to that am not much sure whether there was some custom like this.
Very much curious in knowing about these AADI sales I decided to visit one among the major player on this AADi Sale in Ranganathan Street, To my surprise the a person in the reception area informed me that as AADI Sale offer I can get 3 TRIGGER JEANS at the rate of one (Rs 645/- only). Got really interested keeping in mind that am going to get a TRIGGER JEAN just for Rs 215/- and enquire about that and asked him to take me to the sales counter.
In the sales counter a great salesperson greeted me with a word saying that there are only limited numbers of colors available under offer. Since am not much interested about the color than the brand I asked him to display some. Just out of curiosity in knowing about the AADI sale I just asked the salesperson how come is it possible to sell off the Jeans with such a low price and do add on I just asked him are they genuine products of Trigger. The response from him was really bad which for a while made me to think of slapping him.
He just responded stating that his boss has invested 20 Crores in this business and if he sell tampered products then he cannot withstand, To add upon he asked me very sarcastically whether I had used any TRIGGER Brands earlier as if I am not aware about these brands at all. After all even am a human being with blood cells not willing to loose the deal, I just selected three JEANS and asked him for the TRIAL room. There comes the response from the salesperson which forced me to get out of the shop. He said I can very well have the Trail after Paying the BILLS.
I don’t know what these stupid guys think about the customer, He had clearly informed me that they have only limited colors and he also tried to irritate me as much as he can and at last he says only after paying the bill I can trial the jeans which I had bought. If at all the fit is not proper or I identify some damage in the JEANS I selected, I am forced to get some product from his shop for the amount I had made the purchase as he will not return me my money back.
People think about when you go for AADI Sale next time… Yes Of course there are huge discounts but not much sure discounts on what?????

Painful (Paternity) Hours
Have read in some of the parenting sites that the delivery process of a baby is not only painful for the mother as it is also traumatic for the baby, but nowhere the pain of the father is mentioned during delivery ;-). Sounds a bit odd and really funny, but it is really painful as I am one among the father who has experienced the pain.
My better half’s pregnancy period was pretty cool and everything was normal right from the beginning. The baby weight was normal, baby growth was normal, AFI (Amniotic Fluid Index) was normal and ever her eating habits were normal. We were really happy and was very curious expecting out little one to touch the world as the EDD (Expected Date of Delivery) was First week of July.
Since June month is always dear (lucky) to us (as my B’day falls in June as well as or wedding day too falls in June) we expected out lovely kid would pop up to meet us in late June. Days started creeping, but no signs of pain at all. At last June flew away and we were a bit disappointed. Doctors said EDD is on 4th July and we eagerly waiting till 4th and lost our patience. Hope our little beauty don’t wanted to come out of her mothers womb. Loosing all our patience we went to consult out gynecologist by 5th July. To our surprise she asked us to get a 4D Ultrasound Scan to check for the babies’ position and also advised us to get admitted the day after. Going thru some magazines and having the discussion with most of the people I had an impression in my mind that all doctors will convert normal delivery to C-Section in order to make a few more perks. So bounced back on the gynecologist and asked her for a normal delivery expressing all the impression I had in my mind (I was even a bit harsh while speaking to her).
Got shocked to see the SCAN report, AFI is below 3 and the case of normal delivery is very low. Later proceed directly to the hospital not saying a single word to my wife. Immediately rang up our gynecologist and conveyed the report over phone and she asked us to get admitted immediately. It was around 2:00 PM and due to some auspicious timings and stuff like that our parents insisted to get admitted only by 3:00 PM. By three they took my wife to the maternity ward in order to induce the pain. I was really restless and was roaming around the maternity ward the real pain started in my heart wherein no symptoms of pain were seen with my wife even after inducing it. To my wonder and shock, my wife came out of the maternity ward by walking of her own. Later came to know that even after inducing the pain she never felt any so they asked her to wait in out room. Clock was ticking and they were continuously monitoring the wife. Our parents were busy speaking to other relative over phone and chanting slokas. I was the only person around my wife when the chief doctor came and examined her. I was asked to stand out for a while where I heard my wife screaming and shouting against the doctor and in turn doctor’s shouted at her asking for her co-opertation. By around 5:00 PM they decided to take her to the Operation Theater.
I was restless and roaming around the OT area expecting some news from the medical crew, but got some scolding from the ward boys and scavengers blocking their way. I forget about anything around me and was literally coming around the OT like a lunatic. I was not in a position to cry since all people were around and donno what to do. Thought tears shredded out of my eyes I was controlling my self to keep myself cool. But my mom noticed it and she consoled me. I can’t even sit idle and chant something because I don’t even know those things.
By around 7:00 PM the doctor came out of the Operation Theater and said to me that as expected the fetal’s heard beat is getting down and she is planning to take by C-Section, I had no other words other than “Please Proceed”. They immediately took my signature in a form (DON’T EVEN THOUGHT OF READING IT) and by around 7:27 PM we heard a sweet voice out our infant. By 7:30 PM the pediatrist came out with something in his hand. Oh that was my BABY . Every one was eager to know the gender of my baby, but my question was how is she? Please take care of her. Pediatrist said she was being dressed up and will be out of the OT in another 10 – 15 mins and he asked me to look at the baby. What a wonderful experience it… I don’t find words to express my feelings I had that time. I was really flying high and high. Few minutes later our gynecologist came out with my baby in her hand and handed her over to me asked to wait in the room as my wife was about to get shifted to the room from the OT. I took my little angel with me in my hands to the room and waited from my real angel (wife). As soon as I saw her I felt like returning back to earth from somewhere else. And the painful moments came to end. But my real angel had more and more pains for the next few weeks, but she also got the pain killer with her all the time – Our little Angel Dharshini (a) Samyuktha.

First Blog !!!!!
Over recent past, I came across many people who talks about blog. What’s it all about? Is it a donkey, monkey or a technology? Knowing nothing about it I too decided to write some blog’s and the result of it, you are reading my so called blog.
Major factors which fascinated me in taking such a decision are
1. The power of internet
2. The ability of knowledge sharing through blog
3. Freedom to express out views to the whole world
4. Great Blogger – My very good (old) friend Sudar Muthu.
