VC-with a purpose

How long will I be a team member?? When will I lead a team?? These questions keep haunting me over a long time for now… having gained apprenticeship under seniors for Sensors’ 07; I decided to contest for vice chairman for ICEA, Instrumentation control engineering students association. The seniors completely satisfied with my work for sensors & instantly approved. With meesai (vinayakk) getting unanimously elected for CICREP (placement rep), I surely thought there would be an election for VC post. I thought if someone like dev is contesting, then no use in me contesting. Obviously he would win due to the female votes. Just because I don’t get an opportunity, rather the need, I don’t talk to gals. May be to a few whom I know well… :( :(

When naveen (shamsu) briefed about the election, I won the confidence of shamsu & ab (balaji). All the class decisions involve them. So I moved onto the centre stage next to shamsu. An applause that I received from frenz…. That was heavenly…. I wouldn’t forget in my life…. Then came bharat (goyal)…this didn’t surprise me, as bharat worked equally for sensors. Every time I was the one who gave him the work… but no one contested against me other than him…hmmm... This heaved a sigh of relief…
I was confident to win …

The election began. People began to write ‘V’ 4 vinod, ‘B’ 4 bharat in a paper & expressed their franchise. The counting began… I took a lead from the initial stage. Many people casted bogus votes as they didn’t write their roll nos. bharat was the worsted affected with his. So I asked to count those bogus votes tooo…. Final tally 38 – 24... I won …. Yippee…

But general view about sensors…. Its chaat... an excuse to get an off from college. Nothing innovative…. For those people who gave me such a feedback, please be the changes which u wanna make… don’t jus keep repeating these age-old lines again.

The Indian Reliance

The sensex touching 20,000 mark. Only second market after Hong Kong’s in South Asia. The market is booming....the FDIs pouring in... But the brand leading the Indian business contingent Reliance. Be it mukesh or anil... I heard that soon there would be an ad with this concept. “From the time a person gets up from his bed, till he gets back home in the night, all the products which he uses would in daily life is made by reliance…”well.. It symbolizes the reality.

The remarkable growth of reliance empire is triggered the Indian economical development. A man who didn’t even know to speak English, who just had his trading acquaintance in an oil company, started his business. Yes … Late Dhirubhai Ambani, the founder Reliance group. His dream has been fulfilled. Infact more than what he expected.
The bifurcation of his assets had further intensified its growth, with mukesh holding the big powered industries. There on …. The growth has been unprecedented. Mukesh at around $42billion closely catching up the toppers Bill Gates, Carlos Slim, Lakshmi Mittal. With his ratings increasing, there is an increase in share value, further increasing his worth. Be it mobiles, reliance product is there. Be it consumer goods, reliance product is topping the list. So when it’s good for the nation, why bother… he’s developing his industries… not only that, he’s taking the country economic growth with him.

Definitely its on a positive note. lets Look at this growth from a different perspective.
You have reliance products in all fields. It makes life difficult for the retail investors. Then for budding entrepreneurs, each move should profitable and innovative to fight the reliance empire. The market is getting dominated by reliance industries. Sooner it could be reliance who would be calling the national budget. The finance minister should chart out ways to allow reliance to grow, as economy is growing with it. If reliance succumbs to pressure, then the markets would tumble.

Whether their business strategy is right or wrong, the development of the country should be main issue. They should allow other entrepreneurs to grow and do not affect the common retail investors. What Indians are expecting is … India shining campaign to become a reality…

be GOD..

A man went to a barber shop to get his hair cut & his beard trimmed. As the barber began to work . they began a good conversation.The conversation touched upon various subjects and finally reached.. "about the existence of god".
The barber didn't believe in the existence of god. "why do u say that" asked the customer. "well..if u step outside the shop..onto the street..there are so many abandoned children.. so many sick people wouldn't die.."the customer taught momentarily , and decided
not to get into an argument.. "let him finish his work.otherwise the barber would try his new skills on my head..alert.. "
after the work was over, the customer paid and left the shop.As he walked down the street,he saw a man with long robes,stringy n dirty hair,his untrimmed beard reached his chest. suddenly a ray of light seemed to have strike the customer. he turned back and went to the barber again..
he said," u know what??barbers don't exist.. ."surprised by this statement,barber replied.."I'm a barber.I just worked on you..""then there should be no man with long hair and untrimmed beard like this one.",exclaimed the customer.
"This happens only if people don't approach me"replied barber. the customer reaffirmed that:" people don't go to him and look to him for help.that's why this pain and suffering on earth."
well ll.. thats the whole point..
anyone who helps the needy is a god to them. A kind hearted,benevolent person who serves the poor is a god. Just in case if the TAJ MAHAL,the symbol of love is no more .. will the people stop loving each other???God is in people who do good to others.so be good..be god...

migration from diamond to lapis...

Dis time a bit of personal xperience rather than passion...

i decided to pen my days during 4th sem hols..

The wait was over..Goin home for hols is the best thing ever after semester xams.But definitely missing the fun @ coll.. friends,octa,sports,gym..everything i missed. After the hectic xams, i had an IPT @ the Epi chloro hydrin(ECH) plant,TamilNadu PetroProducts(TPL) ,manali,chennai. Well initially i'd asked for a proj, but due to lack of technical knowledge,they weren't in a position to give me a proj. So jus shifted it into an ipt. Great experience working with ppl there. Climbing all columns,tanks,checking up all faults, fire alarms,safety days. Lot of inputs from engineers who ask me not to come for a tech job like dis one..
But the rest of the days were a bit tough,atleast mentally. All my close pals were doin a proj. The very fact dat i'm vetti(idle) kept killing me. cos every third person is doin a proj. But still kept me occupied with driving,window shopping ,playing,sighting(<=>u know wat..)..

then the fun part..

the trip with our set guys to coortallam n kodaikanal. Never had so much fun in my life ever before like dis..ultimate trip from chennai to sivakasi hari's home. Shit wat fud man. I was surprised to see a lean,thin hari wen his family provided a royal food.. gully cricket , one pitch one hand ,near his house.. by nite we started to courtallam n reached by mid nite..we were spell bound by the scenic beauty.the water was froze us..then stayed in a home ther..i had a night out there tooo.. playing cards the whole nite.. we caught up with all other small falls n petty restaurants.we took bath in manimutharu falls,agathiyar falls..then @ bullet bala's grandma's place..i suspected the previous nite abt the possibilty of a film shooting in nearby locality..i saw the Anand cine creations van(caravan)..well it was true..we saw suriya, shooting for "vel"..thick moustache,gr8 built.. waving at us..then wat ..as usual police mama asked us to clear..
then the trip to kodaikanal began.. we stayed in Govt's Traveller's Bungalow, vathalagundu, footstep of kodai hills.. near visshnu ram's farm house..we took bath in pump set.next to the farm house poet kaviperarasu vairamuthu's kavignar illam..kutty was mocking at his lines from few movies..in a tea shop we met a man talking with visshnu's father..he introduced the man as vairamuthu's father to us.. oh shit.. wat simplicity.. an elderly man whose gandhian principle n advice..then up the hill to kodai..there we covered almost all places..kutty was puking every now n then.. deserved the title vanthivayan(person who keeps vomiting in tamil, gr8 one from bala). Every stop there ramji used to get something to eat, everyone making fun of him. Ulags posing with a tiger in a photo(we had fun in his childish attitude.) The weather was amazing. The visibilty was reduced to few metres.

We had some adventure tooo..we got down from end of pine forests & palnned to get to other end. Believe only we guys were there. in lonely forest with wild animals. it was shooting shot where rape scenes of heroines were picturised. Dat video which we took we won't forget in our life. We had a brief visit at kodai FM office ..checkout the entire process..simple man..nothing complicated.There also we went for Sivaji , night show. After kodaikanal to visshnu's periyakulam home for snacks.His family's attitude towards society is amazing. Yes, in politics .. DMDK..aka captain vijaykanth's party.then straight to college by mid night..

All these in a mini van for trip of 600 kms travel with food n accommadation for around 1100 bugs..isn't it cheap..
So now at Lapis82..in the wing dat my seniors ruled for 2 yrs ..Now baton passed on to us..lets hope the tradition continues.....
