Year 2009 - Success, Failures, Happy, Sorrow

Good bye, 2009, welcome year 2010

The year 2009 has come to an end. I am writing this post while only 30 hours remaining to celebrate the year 2010. What has been achieved personally in the year 2009? What are the gains / loses? How to correct the past mistakes? What is the biggest joy of 2009? What is the biggest sad of 2009?

The year 2009 is very important to me personally. Because the biggest event in one's life, marriage happened to me. I am married for 7 months now. I am going to become a father in the year 2010! This is probably the biggest happy news for me. The sad thing is the death of Teknics mama. He died of sudden heart attack leaving his wife and two daughters orphaned. This is the sadest year for that family. May God give them courage to overcome this struggle. We can only pray.

Astrologically speaking, i am going through Mahadasa or Rahu and sub-period of mars. In the year 2010 Rahu dasa is going to be over and guru dasha will commence. The Guru dasa is usually good for everyone. I too expect that the Guru would bestow prosperity and happiness upon me. 2009 is a good year for me financially, materially and religiously. I have learned how to make money online by freelancing, online marketing, blogs etc. My computer programming skills have developed. I am trying with php, mysql now. I will create a matrimonial website with php, mysql in the year 2010. That would fetch me name, fame and money. Now I am thirty one years old. Still many years left for me. Achievements are less, aspirations are high. I wish everyone a happy and successful new year 2010. Thank you my readers.

WISH YOU A HAPPY NEW YEAR 2010!

Applied for PAN Online - Reader's Digest Sweepstakes

Day before yesterday, monday sent application for PAN (Permanent Account Number) card. In these days PAN card is required for many financial transaction. Banks and other financial institution require PAN card for transactions. If you are asking for a bank loan you should have PAN card. If you are looking for a credit card you should have PAN. Nowadays it is easier to apply for a PAN card. The Income Tax, Government of India, maintains a good website that will assist you to apply online for PAN card. The Tax Information Network (TIN) is your online information source. You can use that website to apply for PAN card online. You can even pay the fee online through credit card. Here is the procedure,

Open the website. click new PAN application. Give your details, like name, father name, Income Tax Ward, Circle, Range. Residential and office address (if any), source of Income etc.

Submit the application online. If you select credit card as payment option you will be asked for credit card details. It will take you to the payment gateway. If the payment is successful you will get an acknowledgment. You can also pay offline by check or DD.

Take a printout of the acknowledgment. Affix recent passport photograph (3.5 cm * 2.5 cm) in the space provided. Put your signature in BLACK INK in the space provided.

Attach xerox copy of address proof and identity proof like driving license.

Mail all the documents to the Income Tax Office at Pune. You will receive you PAN card by post! It is that simple!

Few months before i subscribed for Reader's digest magazine. They offered sweepstakes prizes worth rupees 1 crore. I recently received letters from Reader's digest regarding the sweepstakes. They mentioned i am one of the selected reader from Tamilnadu who gets entry into the 26 lakh super premier prize. They enclosed 4 tickets for Super Premier Prized and asked to look for the mail to arrive. The mail would have a pink envelope which contains reply envelope. Last Monday i received mail from Reader's digest. I received a number of documents, Certificates confirming my eligibility into the prize draw. There is a 26 lac Super Premier Prize plus Early Reply Bonus Cash prize of 4 lac. First prize of 2 lac and second prize of 1 lac. Pegasus prize for 3000 persons. There is another 5 lac special recognition prize.

I think it is a marketing strategy of Reader's digest. Infact the magazine is amusing an engaging with good articles, jokes and tips. They are sending these kind of sweepstakes letters to hundreds of thousands of people. At least a certain percentage of readers would subscribe for the magazine, attracted by the sweepstakes prize offer. Whom would like to loose a chance of becoming a millionaire? Whom would want to loose the offer of 30 lac hot cash? In fact the entry to the sweepstakes are free. They won't compel you to purchase a magazine subscription. Say for example they sent the letters to 10 lac people, potential customers. It would cost them at least 1 crore for postage and handling. Suppose some 30 percent respond by subscribing at Rs. 650 for year. 19 crore rupees! It would fetch them great interest. They can easily afford to offer 1 crore for sweepstakes cash. This is the marketing formula!

I too have subscribed for the magazine and got entry into the sweepstakes. The draw will take place on 21st January. The results can be had by querying rd from 1st February 2010 onwards. The winners list will be published in the march, 2010 Reader's digest magazine.

Teknics mama died

2nd december 2009 was a day of shock and awe when we hear the news that Teknics mama died of heart attack. I was at somanur oil shop, servicing a computer when babu called and told that he was suffering a heart ailment. Before they reach KMCH, the leading hospital in the city he was dead. The reason is obvisous, his corononay disease. Five years ago he was diagnosed with a heart block and was advised to undergo a byepass surgery. But instead of going for a surgery he took alternate medicines. At last his heart stopped pumping. Aunt is suffering kidney malfunction and is undergoing dialysis. Last week they went to Tiruchur, AMala hospital and got home dialysis kit.

mama's loss is severe blow the family of three, all women. His cable TV network is now a question mark. Who will run his business? What will happen? Anyway we had intimate relation with mama, he was jovial, energetic and knowledgable. May his soul rest in peace.

DMKs achievement - Kalaignar Insurance

One of the useful schemes of DMK Government in TamilNadu is 'Kalaignar Kappeedu', a free Insurance scheme for poor and needy. In fact DMK Government Initiated many free schemes like free Color Television, Free GAS Connection and rice for 1 ruppee a KG. The opposition parties initially criticized DMK and its chief Kalaignar karunanithi for the freebies offered for vote. But these freebies got vote for DMK and DMK came to power in TamilNadu in 2006.

The freebies offered during Election campaign were implemented in phased manner. Initially color Television was offered only to those have no Television in Home. Later the scheme was covered to all having Ration Cards. Each Color Television Costs Rs. 2700/-.

Gas Connection also is offered along with a Gas Stove. The one rupee rice is also a success. The Government spends a huge amount of subsidy to support these schemes.

To culminate the efforts of DMK Government Kalignar Karunanithi announced Kalaignar Kaappeeedu, a free Insurance Coverage for Poor family having annual Income upto rupees 25000.

Yesterday we enrolled ourselves for the Free insurance Scheme. Photographs were taken for each family by Star Health Personnel. In this scheme each family gets Insurance coverage Upto Rupees one lakh. Hats off to Kalaignar and his free Insurance scheme.

Sun Direct DTH

Sun DTH Review

Sun DIRECT is the latest entrant in the DTH Service in India. It belongs to the SUN TV group of Mr. Kalanithi maran, son of former Minister Murasoli Maran. SUN DIRECT claims to have 3.5 million DTH subscribers in India, a massive number. Here is my review on SUN DTH. This review is based on my real experience of purchase of SUN DTH.

I purchased SUN DIRECT DTH from a Coimbatore based Dealer. I could not make a choice because so many providers are out there. We already have a TATA sky DTH connection in our house. TATA Sky was good in Terms of singal reception / quality, customer service etc., But it is not good for those prefer regional channels especially the south indians seeking Tamil, Telugu, Malayalam or kannada language options. Because these language generes are dominated by the SUN TV Group, their offering is best for this segment. I had Airtel Digital TV in my mind when entering the shop. But except Aitel they got all others Sun Direct, Reliance BIG, TATA Sky and DISH TV. The shop owner suggested SUN DTH and friend also suggested the same.

So I decided to buy SUN DTH and paid RS. 1700/- ( Inclusive of SUN DTH STB, Dish, 15 meter cable, 6 months subscription of freedom pack in Tamil, installation and activation). Earlier the i was told that Rs. 200 extra will be charged for installation by a technician. Sun DIRECT is weak in this area of service. The DISH installation is not properly managed, but all other DTHs TATA, Reliance and Airtel offer professional installation by company trained personnel. This draw back was offset by SUNs other advantages like MPEG 4 compression technology, more number of channels etc.

They asked for a photo ID proof and i gave my Driving license. They quickly filled the application and gave the stb, dish and other things. I was told that the technicial would come on early morning of 14th. All these things happened on Monday, 12th october 2009, a heavily raining night with eventful journeys with venkat.

On 14th i phoned the technician and he told some reasons to come on the next day 15th. On 15th he came up with some other reasons / excuses. I was really raged now. Actually my town was some 30 kms from coimbatore. That may a reason. I contacted a local TV service center and they suggested a guy to install my DTH. I phoned him and he accpted to come to my house. Due to some other dealy he could not make it on 15th, instead he arrived on Friday, 16th.

Meanwhile i checked by accont status with sundirect website. The website sundirect selfcare have customer login feature offering all subscrption details, Balance, Top-up, Add-on, Validity etc. You have to provide the smart card number as your login name in the website. The default password is 'password'. You can change it later.

I logged in and found that my application was approved and activated on 13th october, really quick. All i needed is fixing DISH and connect the cables.

The technician fixed the Dish on the wall and oriented properly and checked the signal using his signal meter. All were fine. We connected the cable with STB and TV. Initially we got 'signal scrambled' message. He told the it would get ready in half an hour after initial setup. After some time we got the channels. Usually we tune in VHF (Very High Frequency) in our TV. But this did not work with SUN DTH. So I tried with UHF (Ultra High Frequency) and this worked!. The picture clarity was superb. Hats off to SUN DIRECT!. It beat TATA Sky in this area. Digital MPEG-4 works great. DTH remote control offers fairly good control over the STB. It offers channels menu, TV/Radio selection, channel organizing feature and more. I have not yet fully explored all the features. I am writing this review just an hour after the installation.

Customer service is really poor in sun DTH. I contact them using their customer care / contact us pages in their website, but didn't get a reply after two days. Its really a weakness as the first impression is poor. I will write a review after a week or two so i can ascertain whether my choice is good or bad. Its really tough time cable operators. They charge in the range of 130-200 for a number of Tamil and English channels. The arrival of DTH service tells the end of cable dominations. The subscribers are now free to choose the channels they view and the amount / price paid for that. At Rs. 100/- a month you get basic regional pack. At Rs. 300 a month you get almost all channels in all genres. Still a heavy amount comparing cable TV. With so much competition this amount will decrease in the future.

This year marked the emergence of DTH service in India. Now rural India enjoys TV telecast. Even the remotest corners of villages can view TV Channels. This is made possbile by the INSAT satellite. Thanks to ISRO. SUN DIRECT comes to you via INSAT4 satellite.

Some words about the sundirect webiste

The webiste offer reasonably good, reliable and updated information. You can get information of various packages avaialable channels in each pacakge, Add-ons, price / rate for each package an FAQ, Contact form, latest offers and much more.

Ok. I will come back with a second review later this week. Till then bye.

Sukreeswarar Temple - Tirupur



Sukreeswarar Temple



The 10th century built sukreeswarar temple situated at S. Periyapalayam in the outskirts of Tirupur city is remaining unknown to many a pilgrim tourists.

The premise of this elegantly constructed shrine, which was built by Pandya rulers, wears a deserted look on almost every day except during the occasional visits of a handful of people from the vicinity. Department of Tourism and the Archeological Survey of India should exploit the tourism potential of the site and make it an 'preferred' pilgrimage destination, at the earliest.

The temple, which is considered one of the four 'Sirpa Sthalangal' in Kongu region, will also find a mention in the proposed web site of Tirupur District.
/`
With 'Kurakuthali Nayanar' (Lord shiva) as the main diety, the shrine is an architectural delight made of neatly carved long stones reminiscing the epoch of Pandya period. The shivalingam here dates back to 5th century. This weekend visit this wonderful architecture with family and children.

We accepted the deal and paid the full amount in advance and went for lunch. We returned at 2.00 pm and waited.. waited.. waited.. It was 6 pm and the machine was not ready. The DVD Writer was not avilable in IDE mode and finally the guy got one with SAMSUNG Brand.

After that they could not find Audio driver for that old Gigabyte mother board. They tried with variety of drivers and informed us they got driver conflicts. They once reformatted the system, still with no success. Now it is 7.00 PM and senniappan was really angry. He shouted with the persons and they tried to replace board with other working machine. That too didn't fit. After some more time they found another working piece and assembled them finally. We got out at 8.00 PM.

New blog for Tamil Songs

Now i am getting about 100 visits and 350 page views on an average from my, Astrology blog. My Tally Tutorial blog is also attracting visitors. It gets about 20-30 visitors on average. But these numbers of very low in order to generate income from advertisements. I am trying hard to push the numbers.

Meanwhile i have started working on my Tamil Songs blog. The competition is very stiff, as there are a number of quality websites offering hundreds of thousands of songs online. Raaga.com tops the list. The cool idea is Raaga.com offers widgets that can be used on blogs. These high quality widgets really makes the blog professional and rich. I have put to of these widgets and have changed my default themes. But this is not enough for search engines! They need SEO to be done in order to get high ranking. I hope to make this blog highly trafficked before the end of this month.

SEO - What i have learnt

It is almost an year i started by blogging career. Now i have under stood the importance of SEO / Search Engine Optimization. Without SEO your site can not reach its intended market/audience.

Ok. Here is the small scoop on SEO.

There are two major things in SEO.

1. On page optimization.

This is to be done on the website / web page you create. Things to be considered are,

The 'title' tag. Put your main keyword in this tag. Put sub keywords separated by '|' or '::'.

For example, if main keyword is 'Loans' and sub keyword is 'Home Loans' the title tag would be,
title Loans | Home Loans title
The total words should not exceed 9.

Next the "h1, h2" tags. Search engine bots looks for these tags while indexing your site. Put your keywords in these tags.

Next, your keywords must appear in the first sentence of the page and last paragraph of the page. In between equally distribute the keywords. Make the keyword bold, italic and underline at 2,3 places.

Next the Image tag and Image. Use and image with the name of you keyword, like 'Loans graphic.jpg' and use the ALT attribute like,
Loans

Next use the Anchor tag
Loans link

This is all about on page optimization.

2. Off page optimization.

This is all about incoming links to your sites. For this You need to get links from other websites to your site.

What is High paying Adsense keywords list?

Adsense is the Affiliate Ads program offered by the search engine company google. Website owners can display display ads provided by google on their website. If a viewer click on the ad the website owner get a payment. The business has been around for about 6-7 years or more. It is the easiest and quickest affiliate program to make some money. In other affiliate programs you have to promote a product or service. The customer should subscribe for a service or purchase a product online. Unlike these affiliate marketing programs google Adsense and other ad programs just need a click on the advertisement. Google shares its adsense revenue with its publishers.
If you have a good website and have resonable number of visitors you can apply for google adsense. After reviewing your site google can either approve or disapprove the site. The site should not contain adult and mature content, should not have racial content, should not have pornograhpy photos and videos should not have content on drugs and other bad stuff.
Ok. You have applied for adsense and displaying ads. What about your income. It depends on the number of visitors you get. It depends on the CTR of Click Through Rate. For example you get 100 visits / page impressions and get two clicks your CTR is 2%. If the CTR is more the income from adsense is more.
What is the rate per click? Google has kept it a secret. It is also against the adsense policy to disclose your CTR and income. We can assume that the rate depends on the content or niche of the site and competition in that niche. For example high competition keywords include financial products like credit card, Loan, Personal loan. These are also high paying too.

How can you identify high paying adsense keyword?

You have workout to find it. Many people build websites or blogs only to earn money from adsense. Many purchase the websites from third parties. But is that profitable? In long term basis it is not advisable to buy sites and copy content from other sites. A 1000 meter run begins from a single step. Hardwork and determiniation will payoff.

It is not a bad idea to research for high paying keywords. Afterall you spend hundreds of painful hours to build you site and get visits. It is waste if these efforts are not well rewarded. So think before you start. It is a general rule that high competition keywords are high paying too. It is based on demand and supply economics rule. Price of Goods increase as the demand increase. It applies to everthing including adsense.

So, do your research on these keyword list to build your adsense empire. Be honest and sincere in your efforts. Your honesty will definetely payoff. All the best

Free Wireless Internet through wi-fi

Yesterday our home was connected with BSNL Broadband connection. After initial diagnosis for signal strength from somanur BSNL Exchange we were given connection at 512 KBPS speed. The DSL connection was not a PPP but always on connection with out user name and password. They gave a password and user name to be used in their portal. The 2 GB data plan costs about 600 a month. I connected my lenovo laptop through ITI routers wi-fi facility. It connected immediately without any hassle. The problem is the wireless connection is open without any security. This is the default configuration setting in the ITI ADSL router.

All Broadband connections given by BSNL with ITI router is wireless enabled and ready to connect by other wifi computers. This is a security threat as anyone with a PC or laptop with wifi facility can connect to these routers and browse for free. There is not much to panic about it. Nowadays wifi is common and provided for free in many public places like airport, railways and hotels. In karumathampatty you can connect through wifi in many places where BSNL Broadband Internet is active. You just need your wifi mobile phone or laptop computer to enjoy free internet service at broadband speed. Thanks to BSNL connecting India

Today's thoughts

Its really a hot day with thermometers showing above 100 degree Fahrenheit. Tamil nadu people especially coimbatore, tirupur and erode people are unlucky with out rain in this monsoon season. Every year rain hits our region about this time of july-august. Baghvan varuna, the rain god, please turn to our side as we are desperately looking for you.

Ponnusamy and me had lunch at the newly opended Sri Saravana Bhavan hotel in karumathampatty. The hotel was started barely a month before and getting good number of customers now. Two days before i had morning breakfast there. It was not bad comparing other cheap hotels in karumathampatty. The name saravana bhavan is synonymous with hotel as it was made popular by annachi in chennai. The afternoon lunch meal comprise sambar, puli kulambu, rasam, appalam, poriyal, kootu, payasam and curd. It is comparable to Aryas, coimbatore and not as good as Annapoorna hotel, coimbatore. Still Annapoorna maintain the quality and taste.

Ok. Now my astrology AtoZ blog is getting around 60 vistors a day. I just checked and the vistor count now is 64 with 208 page views. I have achieved this in one months time. Good? Isn't it? What to do next? The site and its contents are now freely available. I am provding astrology information and marriage match details. I will soon give more services like building vasthu sasthra, Numerology and palmistry.

I have a bit of knowledge in Numerology and palmistry. But my Vasthu Sasthra knowledge is very less. Ok. I will learn these things for you. right. By the way Palm reading and palm leaf reading is different. Palm reading is reading of hand's palm and predicting future. Palm leaves are those ancient leaves held at kumbakonam and vaitheeswaran koil. These are called Naadi readings or Nadi Jothidam. This art is supposed to tell you the past, present and future of your life. Be careful, there are many fake Nadi readers out there. Don't lose your money with these cheats. Finding a genuine Nadi reader is a bit difficult. We will discuss it later.

Ok. I am getting enquiries for Nichayatartham wordings, Nichatartham meaning and more on this subject of Tamil Ceremony. I am also getting searches for Thali Kodi designs, Fabrication of Thaali Kodi and more. Coimbatore is fortunate to have a number of Gold smiths. They are availbe in cross cut road, Big Bazaar street and other areas. Few years back i got a request to design website for such a gold worker. He wanted to display his works / designs on a website and want orders. Fine. I will gather information and put it soon.

Today's thought - suicide

Suicide or self killing is one of the common causes for death. Human being is the only creature that kills itself. There are many ways to commit suicide. Almost all suicide methods are painful. Hanging with a robe is common suicide method in Tamilnadu.

How to commit suicide?
If you write a book on this subject that will be a hot sale. Why people want to commit suicide. Depression is the main reason for suicide. A psychological therapy could treat suicide thoughts. There are unplanned suicides and planned suicides. Those committing suicide in anger are unplanned. If you give some time your thought will change for sure. Most countries have laws prohibiting suicide. In India suicide is punishable offense in crpc code.

people want painless suicide and follow diffrent methods like sleeping pills, cyanide and other poisons.

In India suicide among farmers are very common. They are always in debt. If they are not able to pay their debts they commit suicide with family. In Andrapradesh many such suicides takes place. To prevent suicide, suicide prevention cells are operating which provides counseling for those with suicide mood.

It is terrible if you survive a suicide attempt. Especially if commit suicide with fire and self immolation and your survive with burn and injury by fire it is the hell on earth. Poison suicides also face such consequences of organ failures and disability.

This body is not yours. You have no right to destroy yourself. Try to live life, face its difficulties and challenges. There is noting to fear at, under the sun.

Be happy and enjoy life

Nowadays i read many tamil language books online due to its wide availability. Thanks to many initiative by Tamilnadu government to lead Tamil in electronic era. I like late writer sujatha who was a scientist, writer and author of many books and stories. I read kalki (krishnamurthy) books ponnyin selvan, sivagami sabatham, parthiban kanavu which are classic tamil literatures.

Ok. enough. Now here is the recently released tamil books with author and publisher information.

India celebrates independence day on 15th august

Saturday 15th august 2009 will be a national holiday. School and college students and government employees are happy about the holiday. Flag sellers are happy about the extra income they could muster by selling the national tricolor flag. Other common public will simply ignore or unaware of the fact that their nation got Independence from the Great Britain 62 years ago.

After 62 years of Independence from a foreign ruler nations progress is appreciable in many fields including science and technology, agriculture (with green revolution and white revolution), aerospace, space technology, defence, nuclear technology, foreign relations and so on.

Still millions of people live below poverty lines. One third of nations people still go to bed without food. Millions of villages are dark without electricity, and other basic amenities. We must look back to the british rule where they constructed a number of irrigation dams, built the huge railways network, bring telephone and telegraph in India. There was suppression in British rule. But they treated their subjects well.

Todays politicians are corrupt and selfish. Millions of dollars worth black money is deposited in swiss banks. Indians, both politicians and businessmen cheat the government and keep this large sums of money without use.

All levels of the government machinery is corrupt by its staff. From peon to district collector, everyone want money to do their duties. From VAO Office to secratariat everybody asks bribe. The vigilance and CBI are making arrests of corrupt official in a regular day to day manner. They are getting arrested red handed. Still they involve in bribery cases. The reason is apparent. They easily get out of the case with out any punishment. These offenders are not convicted by law. These criminals working for government should be punished by the public. They should be branded as criminals and should be dismissed from their posts immediately. Why do they ask for money to do their job? What is the reason no severe action is taken against them?

From registrar office to taluk office, from EB office to post office all government servants ask money without any shame or self esteem. They are getting excellent salary and perks. They get pension benefit and gratuity. They get bonus and incentives. They get holidays and leaves. Still they want more. They don't give respect to public. The police station is the worst example. Many criminals, theives, murderers, cheats, frauds, rapists work in the police department. The highest punishment for their crimes are simple transfer or suspensions. From the recuruitment itself the corruption begins. You will get a government job only if you are able to pay thousands of ruppees to the selection committee or board.

Recent elections in India, especially in Tamilnadu have shown the trends. People receive money from candidates and vote accordingly. This is the beauty of democracy. Proxy voting and criminals in elections is common thing in India.

Sorry. I abruptly stop writing this post as my head aches. Gud nite

PSG Institutions,Coimbatore.

PSG Institutions is the largest educational Group in Coimbatore. PSG Charitable trust runs PSG (PS. Govindasamy Naidu). I studied at PSG arts college, Peelamedu. My branch was BSc chemisty with allied physics and mathematics. The faculty is the best and experienced with Mphil and phd qualifications. The chemisty department was headed by Mr. sundram. The lecturers were sincere and hardworking. We really enjoyed the college life. I joined NCC (National cadet Corps) as my dream was joining Indian Army as Officer. I know the fact that NCC C certificate holders can attend direct interview to join short Service Commission (SSC) in Indian Army. We had regular parades on saturdays. Mr. Sampathu was our NCC incharge. He holds captain rank. Saturdays were fun enjoyable. Our parades start with warm-up and joking excercises. The parade drills will be conducted by seniors. RDC or (Republic Day Parade) was the supreme achievement of any NCC cadet. In that parade you can show off your skills (simply march off) the redfort parade grounds during republic day and independance day celebrations. We attend camps at ramanathapuram and NEC camp at bhubaneshwar, orissa. The orissa experience was thrilling with kathiravan, physics and other boys. I finally wrote c certificate exam and received A Grade.
I then joined computer application course and it is a different subject of discussion.
Ok. PSG institutions run Art college, Engineering and TEchnology college, polytechnic, Schools and more.
PSG College of TEchnology is the leading engineering college in Coimbatore. Only State toppers in higher secondary get admission. The management got certain number of seats. Anyway it is a pride of coimbatore. CIT collge is next leading institution for engineering.

இந்த மண்ணின் மைந்தன் என்ற முறையில் நான் ஆரம்பிக்க இருக்கும் புதிய மணமாலை (மேட்ரிமோனி) வலை தளத்துக்கு தங்கள் ஆதரவை வேண்டுகிறேன்

That's enough Tamil. Now i am coming to the point. I understood the need of a free matrimony website with complete profiles details of bride and groom. There are many matrimonial sites around. But all are asking payment in order to view the contact details and horoscopes. So i decided to build a site for profile sharing. I need your opinion on this matter. Especially kongu nattu people. Kongu people boys and girls are present everywhere around the globe. They get good education get good employments abroad and in India. They find it diffcult to get a good life partner. There are many things like horoscope (jathaka) and other things need to be compatible in order to get married. People are paying money to marriage brokers and local matrimonies to get a match. But the marraige market is unorganized and unmanaged.

Ok. enough. My new site ( no, our site) will be a bridge to both parties. Apart from uploading profiles there are many things like private chat, discussion forum and many things will be there. Prospective brides and grooms can chat and fix a personal appointment themselves or can exchange their contact details and phone numbers. Profiles with photos will be published free of cost.

I request support from kongu people and all other people for this effort. This is not an exclusive site for kongunadu and kongu region. People of any caste and religion irrespective of color and race can use the site. All the communites Naicker, Nadar, Chettiar, Mudhaliar, Thevar Dalit and all other possible communites can participate. Good thing is i will do my best to verify the biodata and profile information to avoid frauds.

Do you really want such a website? You can vote, with the Polling option on this blog.

Thanks. Have a great day!

New matrimonial site of Indians and Tamils

Yesterday i went to Raghvnek coimbatore in the morning. The new billing software was working fine and i created options to export report to excel. Afternoon we went to Yogam a-one manamalai, Gandhipuram. We fixed the computer by formating and installing windows. We spoke on various subjects like astrology, sidhar etc. Venakat suggested me to create a free matrimonial site. He asked to get the horoscopes and feed them with a minimum charge and make public all biodata including contact address and phone. So this will be big competition to biggies such as bharatmatrimony and kalyanamaalai. We have no technical issues as i am capable of creating a site in php or asp and host it on free hosting service. Ok. Let us see what is going to happen.

LIC Of India - India's largest Insurer

Lic Of India - The name is synonymous with Insurance with more than two thousand branches and overseas branches in Fiji, Mauritius, United Kingdom, Kenya, Bahrain, Nepal, Sri lanka, saudi arabia lic plays a pivotal role in giving financial security to millions of family in India. I know much about this organization because my father worked as an agent for more than 15 years for this company.
My father was a farmer then (years back in 1980s) and agriculture was the primary occupation of my father (before he worked for Primary agri co-op bank in valparai, pollachi, he resigned the job for family problems). Due to poor performance in agriculture he looked for other source of living. He first joined peerless (or fearless i don't know) as an agent. The company soon involved in scandals and its reputation spoiled. He then joined in Lic branch, sulur. Public awarness in insurance is very low those days. So promoting licofindia was very diffcult. My father was very hardworking and determined. He will wake early morning and visit each house before the prospective client is out of home. Like the mohamad of Gazhni who make expedition on somanatha temple for 16 sixteen times before he succeed. Another important thing in marketing lic schemes is the trust and faith. You have to convince the client that his money will be safe and will yield good returns. An lic agent is not authorized to collect money on behalf of the corporation. But the premiums are collected by agents. So an agent handles thousands of rupees of money and some cheating and fradulant agents spoils the name of the corporation. licindia has done a lot through its branches, development officers and agent network to make awareness about its various schems lic money back, lic pension plan, jeevan lic. llc of india offers its agents lucarative commission and bonus and other benefits. They will earn club membership based on the business done. These are chairmans club, branch managers club, zonal managers club. Lic encourages its agent by giving away trophy, medals, awards to best agents on its role. My father too earned many awards and gifts during his life time. ilc india offers its customer various plans of life insutance like whole life, endowment, money back, childrens plans and pension plans.

Now lic recurits agents through IRDA . Irda license is a must to become an agent. You need to take the irda examination in order to qualify. life insurance india is the largest insurance provider and its agent netwrok makes it possible. job licindia : agent is not a regular employee of lic corporation. He earns commision only if he do business. lic home loan : lic offers home loans at a reasonable interest rate. You will get a loan if you a an lic policy and other documents like site plan, approval etc.
lic policy is used a document for age proof and address proof etc.
lic mediclaim : lic doesn't provide medical policies as it is general insurance by National Insurance and united India Insurance

Friendship day - What is real friendship?


What is the definition of friend? A friend is the person with whom we have a relationship, help each other, share our thoughts and opinions and more.

My first friend was a school time friend in madappur. Anandhi (Anandha kumar), lenin (now in chennai), palanisamy. But these friendhip are not strong enough to come throughout the life. Now i have no intimacy and any relationship with them. I hardly speak to them. I think there was not enough maturity in those childish days. The friendhip was for fun, play and studies. We did not greet each other on birthday or other auspicious days. We had frequent fights and quarrels. OK. After elementary school a joined High school in sulur. I think i could not find a friend there. Prakash of Rasipalayam was the only person i was close with. After SSLC i Joined a school in Peelamedu, KK Naidu Matriculation High schoool. Where panneer selvan, Babu srinivasan, Loga bala krishnan, Prabakaran, muthu kumar, dharmaraj are close allies of mine. But this too was not a friendhip and there was selfish motive in these relationships. I joined PSG arts and science college, peelamedu after school. In BSC chemistry department karthi was my close ally. Till now we maintain our friendhip. That smiling face is till my favorite friend. I wish him and others heartily all success in life.

Human beings are social creatures and have always valued the importance of friends in their lives. To celebrate this noble feeling it was deemed fit to have a day dedicated to friends and friendship. Accordingly, first Sunday of August was declared as a holiday in US in honor of friends by a Proclamation made by US Congress in 1935. Since then, World Friendship Day is being celebrated every year on the first Sunday in the month of August.

This year the friendship day is celebrated on the date of 02-aug-2009.

- C. S. Lewis

What is pregnancy? How a child is born?

The greatest art, science and engineering in the world is creation. Conception and delivery of a child belongs to this category as this is the wonderful master piece of the creator, God. Even after the development of science and medicine we still wonder at this part of human experience, child birth. Evolution theory and Darwin theories and recent development in Biology and Bio Technology has given this area a giant leap. We now have the advantage of Genetic Engineering and other tools like stem cells and cloning. Still child birth is wonder and special.

I took interest in this subject, because i am married for two months now, and i am going to have a child soon? Wonderful isn't it? Two days back i got news that my is conceived (confirmed 90% by the doctor using urine samples). A boy or girl would be born in ten months.

OK. What makes childbirth special? It is a complex process involving man and woman. There are many hormones and biology involved in it. Pregnancy occurs when matured female egg meets male gamete (spermatozoa) in the process called fertilization. The egg is released from the ovaries after 14-15 days of menstruation. So in order to conception to occur the couple need to have sex during this time. Otherwise matured egg will be discharged unfertilized during next menstruation.

Home pregnancy tests are personal urine tests, which normally cannot detect a pregnancy until at least 12 to 15 days after fertilization. Both clinical and home tests can only detect the state of pregnancy, and cannot detect the age of the embryo. Normally a missed period is considered a sign of pregnancy. The famous morning sickness is the common symptom for pregnancy.

Morning sickness, also called nausea gravidarum, nausea, vomiting of pregnancy or pregnancy sickness is a condition that affects more than half of all pregnant women, as well as some women who use hormonal contraception or hormone replacement therapy. Usually, it is present in the early hours of the morning and reduces as the day progresses. The nausea can be mild or induce actual vomiting. In extreme cases, vomiting may be severe enough to cause dehydration, weight loss, alkalosis and hypokalemia.

Gestation period in human is 40 weeks. The actual pregnancy period is 38 weeks, subtracting the 2 weeks after LMP (Last mensturation period). This period is divided into three trimesters.

Stages:

First Trimester:

The first 12 weeks (3 months) constitute first trimester. After implantation the uterine endometrium is called the decidua. The placenta which is formed partly from the decidua and partly from outer layers of the embryo is responsible for transport of nutrients and oxygen to, and removal of waste products from the fetus. The umbilical cord is the connecting cord from the embryo or fetus to the placenta.The developing embryo undergoes tremendous growth and changes during the process of fetal development.

Morning sickness can occur in about seventy percent of all pregnant women and typically improves after the first trimester.

Most miscarriages occur during this period.

Second trimester:

Months 4 through 6 of the pregnancy are called the second trimester. n the 20th week the uterus, the muscular organ that holds the developing fetus, can expand up to 20 times its normal size during pregnancy. Although the fetus begins moving and takes a recognizable human shape during the first trimester, it is not until the second trimester that movement of the fetus, often referred to as "quickening", can be felt. This typically happens in the fourth month, more specifically in the 20th to 21st week, or by the 19th week if the woman has been pregnant before.

Third trimester:

Final weight gain takes place, which is the most weight gain throughout the pregnancy. The fetus will be growing the most rapidly during this stage, gaining up to 28g per day. The woman's belly will transform in shape as the belly drops due to the fetus turning in a downward position ready for birth. During the second trimester, the woman's belly would have been very upright, whereas in the third trimester it will drop down quite low, and the woman will be able to lift her belly up and down. The fetus begins to move regularly, and is felt by the woman. Fetal movement can become quite strong and be disruptive to the woman. The woman's navel will sometimes become convex, "popping" out, due to her expanding abdomen. This period of her pregnancy can be uncomfortable, causing symptoms like weak bladder control and back-ache. Movement of the fetus becomes stronger and more frequent and via improved brain, eye, and muscle function the fetus is prepared for ex utero viability. The woman can feel the fetus "rolling" and it may cause pain or discomfort when it is near the woman's ribs and spine.

At the end of 40 month period you should approach your maternity hospital to deliver your baby. Normal delivery is less common during these days. So operation is needed in many cases to deliver the child. Your doctor will suggest which is best for you. Here is the list of maternity hospitals with Gynecology specialists

Error 734 with Aircel and Airtel PPP Dial-up connection

Dear Aircel and Airtel Friends,

Aircel now offers Pocket Internet via GPRS. Airtel offered this service long before. In order to access the internet through you aricel mobile you need to activate gprs on your mobile first. To activate from prepaid aircel mobile you have to send sms as GPRSACT to 2567. It will typically activated within a day. Once it is activated you can browse through your phones WAP/HTML browser.

To browse using your PC you have to connect your phone by serial data cable. You have install the phone modem using the CD provided by your phone manufacturer. For Nokia phone PC suite installation will done this.

Then go to control panel in windows. Open Network connections and click 'Create a new connection'. Follow the directions as prompted. You have to give blank user name and password. The dialup phone number is *99***1#

Congrats! You have finished your new connection. Open the connection and click dial. If you are lucky you will be connected to internet. Other wise you will get Error 734 or other errors.

I get 734 error the first time i connect to the internet with my motorola w388. I called up the customer support and the guy asked me several irrelevant questions like whether i activated the internet? whether i could browse through my phone?
I am a computer geek setting up several windows computers everyday. I know each nuke and corner of the windows networking and OSI Network Layers and other system internals. The guy, after several questions offered me solution by giving an extra initialization string that should be typed in modem properties page. I give it and dialed. To my surprise i was connected to the internet. But the initialization string had nothing to do with my connection. (I have give the string in another article).

Error 734: The PPP Link Control Protocol Was Terminated on aircel network was caused by aircel. Try again after some time. If you are able to browse through your phone you be connected via PC. If you get 'network down' or other errors on your phone you will get error 734 when you try with your PC. This is as simple as that.

Microsoft's solution for this problem can be found at the knowledge base article by clicking here

Kargil war's 10th year victory celebration

Yesterday the country celebrated the victory of Kargil. Pakistan forces maliciously entered the Indian side of the International boundry during Musharaf regime.

About 13 peaks Including the strategic Tiger Hills, Tolo ling pass, Drass were captured by the pak forces. The infamous bofors howitzers purchased by the previous congress government were used for the first time in karkil war. The cauality rate was high on the indian side.

The 10th anniversary of this glorious victory was celebrated yesterday. Prime minister Manmohan singh, Defence minister Antony, Naval chief Admiral suresh metha and many participated in the ceremony.

Aadi purchase done

Yesterday (sunday) we did our Aadi purchase of garments. The Big bazaar street was crowded with people purchasing garments for the festival. The big players 'The chennai Silks', 'Ganapathy Silks' are the prominent players in Big Bazaar street. One of the problems with these shops are the lack of parking space for cars. Ganapathy silks offers free parking space near townhall. From townhall signall toward ukkadam go 100 meters and on the right side you can find the parking lot for Ganapathy silks. When we entered the shop it was medium crowded at 5 pm. First we went to the men's readymade at 5th floor. The aadi offer was 3 shirts at rupees 999. The shirts were branded like otto and peter england. We selected 3 offer shirts first. Then we went inside to view the shelfs with 10% discounts. There we selected 5 shirts ranging from 300-350 rupees. Then we went to select matching pant. We selected 6 pants of cotton and tericotton cloths. We paid through my VISA Debit card (both debit & credit cards accepted). The on the ground floor we took two sarees. We altered the pants in the tailoring section below and we returned to mettupalayam. According to me these companies make good advertisement and the offer and discount are mere eyewash and nothing special than ordinary.

Authenticiy and correctness of Indian Astrology

Many sceptics have arguments against astrology and its validity. I am not practicing western astrology and i have no idea about it. But Indian astrology have its roots to the ancient gyanis who discovered the distant planets and calculated their longitudes and other characteristics through their dhivya dhristis. Jyothish guru brihat parashara, jaimini have left us with unvaluable literature on jyotish. These books teach us on various concepts of astrology and horoscope charts, Yogas and dashas. Astrologers in modern india like K.N.Rao and Krishnamurthy offered pinpoint predictions which further enhance the validity of this ancient science.

Rahu dasha is proving bad for me. Rahu is placed at simha(Leo) which is a debiliation sign for Rahu along with saturn. Thus i have been suffering physically and mentally for the past many years. Also kala sarap dosha present in my horoscope and it bad effect are being experienced by me.
