My Life Story என் (சோக) கதை

வெகு நாட்களுக்கு பிறகு மீண்டும் உங்களை தொடர்பு கொள்வதில் மகிழ்ச்சி. பேச்சுவழக்கு தமிழ் இங்கு பொருத்தமாக இருக்கும்னு நினைக்கிறேன். கல்யாணமாகி 8 வருஷமாச்சு. ரெண்டு குழந்தைகள். படிக்கிறாங்க. இந்த எட்டு வருஷத்துல எனக்கு அரசாங்க வேலை கிடைச்சிருக்கு. BP வந்திருக்கு. Insomnia ங்கிற தூக்கம் வராத வியாதில கஷ்டப்படுறேன். நிம்மதி இல்லை. தூக்கம் இல்லை. புரிதல் இல்லாத மனைவி. சின்ன சின்ன காரணங்களுக்கு தினமும் சண்டை. அப்பாவி மாமியாரோட சண்டை. என் அண்ணண்கள் அண்ணிகள் எல்லோரையும் எப்பவும் எதிரியா நினைக்கிறா . அவங்க என்ன சொன்னாலும் செய்தாலும் அதில் தப்பு கண்டுபிடுச்சு அவங்களை கண்டபடி பேசறா? குழந்தைகள் அவ சொல்றபடி தான் நடக்கனும் பேசனும். விளையாடனும். தூங்கனும். மொத்தத்துல அவதான் கண்ட்ரோல் பண்ணனும். எனக்கு எந்த உரிமையும் இல்லை. டிரஸ் கூட அவ எடுத்தது தான் போடனும். ஆனா ஒன்னு. எங்களுக்குள் எந்த பொருத்தமும் இல்லைனு லேட்டாதான் தெரிஞ்சது. எனக்கு உப்பு, காரம் ஆகாது. அம்மா சமையல் எல்லா கம்மி உப்பு காரம்தான். இவ பல தடவையும் சொன்ன பிறகும் உப்பை குறைக்கல. விளைவு. இப்ப 38 வயசில உயர் இரத்த அழுத்தம். இரவில் தூக்கமின்மை. இவ சுயநலம் இதோடு முடியல. நான் அரசு வேலை கிடைத்து வெளியூர் சென்றேன். அப்பா பையன் லோக்கல் ஸ்கூளில் படிச்சான். அதை காரணம் காட்டி என்கூட இவை வரலை. இவளும் இங்க வேலைக்கு போக ஆரம்பிச்சா. நான் 2 வருஷமா ஓட்டல் சாப்பாடு சாப்பிட்டு கஷ்டப்படேன். சமீபத்தில் பிளட் டெஸ்ட் எடுத்தபோது கொலஸ்ட்ரால், ஈரல் கொழுப்பு (fatty lever) இருப்பது தெரிஞ்ஞ்சது. மக்களே தெரிஞ்சுக்கோங்க. குழந்தை  பிறக்கும் வரைக்கும் தான் பொண்டாட்டிக்கு புருஷன் வேணும். அதுவும் ஆண் குழந்தை பிறந்தால் புருஷன வேலை செய்யற  சம்பாதிக்கிற யந்திரமா நினைக்கிறாங்க. தப்பா நினைக்காதீங்க. என்னால தாங்க முடியாம சொல்றேன். குழந்தை மட்டும் தான் வேணுமனா யார்கூடவாவது 10 நாள் போக வேண்டியதுதானே. ஏன் கல்யாணம் பண்ணி எங்க வாழ்க்கையை நாசமாக்கினீங்க. எங்களுக்கு மட்டும் குழந்தைகள் மேல் பாசம் இருக்காதா? இருக்காதா? அக்கறை இருக்காதா? ஆயிரம் ஆயிரமா செலவு பண்ணாதான் CBSE ஸ்கூலில் அதிக பீஸ் கட்டி படிக்க வச்சாத்தான், புது டிரஸ் பீரோ  நிறைய வாங்கி கொடுத்தாதான் குழந்தை மேல் பாசம் இல்லாட்டி வேஷம்னு போகும்.சொல்றிங்க. வேற வழி இல்லாம எல்லாத்தையும் கேட்டுட்டு பேசாம இருக்க வேண்டி இருக்கு. ஆ ஊன்னா குழந்தைகளை வச்சு பிளாக் மெயில் பண்றத தான் தாங்க முடியல. டார்ச்சர் தாங்காம சில தடவை கை நீட்டி அடிச்சுட்டேன். உன் சொத்துல பங்கு இருக்குனு சொல்றிங்க ஒத்துக்கறேன். உங்கப்பா சொத்துல உங்களுக்கு பங்கு இருக்குல்ல. அத முதல்ல வாங்கிட்டு வாங்க. இதுல மட்டும் சமத்துவம் சம உரிமை இல்லையா? பையன திட்டறதும் அடிக்கறதும் அகக்கரையில தான். டிவி பாத்து பாத்து அவங்க கண்ணு தான் பூத்து போகும். கண்டிக்க வேண்டியது அப்பனோட உரிமை மட்டும் இல்ல. கடமையும் தான். என்னால முடிஞ்ச வரைக்கும் உங்ககளுக்குத்தான் செலவு செய்றேன். வெளியூர் போற வரைக்கும் 5 வருஷமா மாதாமாதம் மளிகை லிஸ்ட் வாங்கி போய் நானே மூட்டை சுமந்து வருவேன். நாப்கின் லிருந்து என்ன சொன்னாலும் வாங்கி வருவேன். அம்மிக்கல் கூட பைக்ல சுமந்து வந்திருக்கேன்.

Any amateur astronomers in coimbatore?

Recently i developed interests in astronomy. Everyone should have studied astronomy in schools. As we grow up due to family and social commitments we don't have time to hobbies like astronomy. Even in schools and colleges astronomy is taught in theory only. In India majority of schools and colleges lack lab facilities like Planetarium, Telescopes and binoculars to give the students a practical knowledge.

Astronomy is an excellent hobby and useful time pass.Even with naked eye (unaided) you can see thousands of stars on a clear night. With your eyes you can see planets like Jupiter, Venus and Mars.With binoculars you can see planets like Saturn. With binoculars and Telescopes you can see star clusters, nebula, supernova, comets, asteroids and many more celestial wonders.

Internet is a great help for amateur astronomers. There are lot of articles, news and guides for amateur astronomers on internet.

There are free software programs that help you locate stars, planets and other deep space objects in real time. Even you can track man made satellites using the software. A good freeware planetarium software is 'stellarium'.  It is freely available under General Public License(GPL). Visit www.stellarium.org/ to download the software for windows.

To know more on amateur astronomy and equipments visit http://www.skyandtelescope.com

I have just started to peep into the sky. I am trying to identify stars and constellations. This month Jupiter and Venus is seen on the western horizon. You can see it with bare eyes. If anyone interested in amateur astronomy in Coimbatore don't hesitate to contact me.

Birthday dress

These videos are of my sun Nishaant's. We took it yesterday in Chennai silks, Coimabtore. We went there after a visit to KMCH Hospital. Nishaant has adenoids (growth of tissues in throat that blocks inhalations and gives breathing troubles). Earlier a month before ENT specialist Dr. Ramanikanth. He confirmed growth of tonsils and prescribed some nasal spray. Our pediatrician Dr. Rajendran  prescribed a tablet for 30 days (I think it is Montair). These medications were good to nishaant and his conditions improved. He had breathing trouble during night and after medication these troubles vanished. Earlier Dr. Ramanikanth suggested surgery for adenoids. Since he is only 2 yrs old surgery was to be avoided. I hope he will recover without surgery.

After our visit to hospital we went to crosscut road for his birthday shopping. My wife preferred some sherwani type clothing. He put on those cloths and i took the above videos. How happier he looks! By the way, his birth is on 2nd April.

Join the 3G Revolution! Data Card Magic!!

Internet was introduced in India during the end of 1990's. By then we had Windows 95 / 98 with Pentium II / III  / Celeron processor and 16/32 MB RAM and 1/2 GB Hard Drive. Dishnet and Sify Provided Internet Dial-Up Services. It took even hours to get connected to the internet. There was separate charges for telephone and ISP. Since the cost is huge only few afford to have internet connection at home. Browsing centers were charge about 40 rupees per hour.
Now the situation has changed. Revolution in telecom industry changed everything. There are so many players like BSNL, Reliance, TATA, Aircel, Airtel, Idea, Uninor etc.
Personal Computer price has dropped dramatically. Now you can own Intel Atom processor Powered PC with 2 GB RAM, 500 GM Hard Drive, 15.5" TFT Monitor for as low as Rs. 13000.

Now come to the internet connection. For those living in cities have many options. BSNL, Airtel, Reliance and other players have infrastructure for landline based broadband internet. For example 2 MBPS unlimited connection is available at Rs. 2000 per month in Tirupur. For those living in rural and village areas options are limited. BSNL network is the only option for rural areas. With the advent of Wireless broadband the situation has changed. Wireless broadband was first offered on CDMA networks like Reliance. Reliance offers netconnect broadband. TATA Indicom offers Photon. MTS entered the market lately and acquired market in Tamilnadu and other states. For these connections you have to buy USB Data Cards which are network locked. That means you can use these device on their particular networks only. The situation changed with the  emergence of 3G data cards. Theoretically they offer upto 7.2 MBPS download speeds. My home is located in a remote area and i don't have many options for internet. So i wanted to try 3G cards. I use Aircel (Coimbatore). and have quiet good coverage in my area. I bought 3G card through ebay. Huawei E173 cost Rs. 1600 inclusive of shipping. After inserting the card autorun will install modem drivers and also Mobile partner software. You have to activate 3G plan. For example in Aircel send messsage 'START 3G' to 121. It will be activated in 1 or 2 hours. For me it was activated in 10 minutes. You can also use the card only with GPRS/EDGE connected. But this is very slow. Put your SIM card in the slot of 3G card. Insert it in the USB port and open the mobile partner software. If 3G is activated on the SIM it will show WCDMA AIRCEL on the lower left corner with signal strength. In profile name select Aircel (If you use Aircel SIM) and click connect. Now you are connected to the superfast 3G network. Now on the lower left you can see HSPA Aircel. Open your browser and start browsing. You can watch streaming videos, read mails, use social networks like facebook and download files, pictures, videos with the 3G speed. In my case i recharged only for 3 days Aircel Pocket internet for Rs. 14. Before activating 3G it worked in EDGE mode. I did not recharge for 3G. After activating 3G it worked at about 1.5 MBPS. At speedtest.net i get around 1.6 MBPS speed. You can take this data card in your pocket and use it anywhere in laptop / pc wherever 3G network is available!. So try this amazing piece of technological marvel.

Gmail will no longer work in Internet Explorer 6 (IE 6)

Google's Gmail will not work in IE6 browser

GMail is the popular free email service by Google Inc. Millions of people are using gmail for email communications. Internet Explorer 6 is the popular web browser software developed by Microsoft Corporation. It was bundled with Windows XP and older operating systerms. Due to the security vulnerabilities in IE 6 Google has discontinued support for IE 6 browsers. This means you will not be able to open and read your emails using IE 6. So you need to upgrade to latest versions of Internet Explorer or you can use other brands like Mozilla Firefox or Google Chrome to access you Gmail account.

Google announced this a few months back and today i was not able to read my mails using IE 6. I was able to login to my Gmail account and can view the inbox, but i could not open the mails. The link was not clickable. I always use firefox and seldom use IE for browsing.

Petrol Price hike

Price hike of Rs. 2.50 - Pongal Gift?

The Government of India announced a hike of Rs. 2.50 for the price of Petrol effective from January 15, 2011. The price was hiked not so long ago and the price hike received stiff resistance from the opposition parties and general public. In Tamilnadu it is pongal holidays and the price hike is a unwelcome Gift.

Petroleum is vital not only for the economy but also for the individuals. Everyone depend on this non-renewable resource. In a single month the price was hiked for two times. A five rupee increase per liter will affect people dramatically. A middle class family that lives on a monthly budget suffers heavily from the price hike. And this hike is not going to stop. If this pattern goes on in a year or two the price per litre of petrol would be more than 120-130 rupees.

Beacuse petroleum prices are determined by the international market the government of India has very low control over the price hike. What should we do now? Should we completely stop using the petroleum? Right now there is no perfect alternative to Petroleum. Electrical powered vehicles are costlier and not powerful as their petroleum counterparts. Solar power also is still experimental and not practical. The government can fund reasearch at university levels for students pursuing research in alternative energy. But this will not happen in a country where IT and computers and considered supreme than traditional science subject. The politicians and policy makers are content once their pockets are filled. Spectrum and other scams fill their pockets once in a while.

Ok see u. I am going for a movie right now? My wife is urging me that the time is up. The movie is siruthai by Paruthi veeran Karthi. :)

Alert! Scam Phishing emails in the name of Gmail

I received supposedly scam emails

Today i received a suspicious email. The from address was secureemailservice@gmail.com. The following is the exact copy of the email.

Gmail science & technology team has recently launched Google web software to protect and secure all Gmail Accounts. This system also enhanced efficient networking and fully supported browser. You need to upgrade to a fully supported browser by filling out the details below for validation purpose and to confirm your details on the new webmaster Central system.

 

Username:     

Date of birth:

User Password:

Country:  

Note: Your account will be disabled permanently if you failed to provide the details required above within 72hours. Gmail will not be held responsible for your negligence.

The Google web Service.

 

Immediately after reading the mail i doubt the authenticity of the mail. There are so many phishing attempts in the recent time. What is phishing? It is an attempt to gain the confidential and sensitive data of individuals like internet banking account name, password in an attempt to gain access to their accounts. What would happen if you give away your internet banking account details or credit card details to somebody untrusted. They will simply take away your money and run!

No banks or reputed organizations ask for user id and password. Why should they ask for them? They will have the details stored in their database.

What are the implications of responding to this mail. If you reply with your Gmail user name and password it will land in the wrong hands. The person will login to your Gmail account and look for useful information like credit card / internet banking account details.

I just posted a  messaged in Google Help forum and waiting for response. The mail i received also threatened that my Gmail account would be disabled if i did not respond within 72 hours. Google will never threaten its users in this way. In the mail i also found some terminologies that are connected in no way. Such terms as 'Web master Central' has nothing to do with Gmail accounts. It is for web site developers and SEO (Search Engine Optimization) persons.

So please ignore this email if you received one. I will update once i get further details on this scam.

Nandhu & Family visited yesterday

Yesterday My business partner nandhakumar along with his wife sumathi and son Yashik visited my house. We planned it on saturday to have a lunch at my home. They arrived at my home at 10.30 am. We decided to make chicken fry and kulambu. nandhu and i went to somanur to buy groceries and chicken. Chicken (nattu kozhi) was not available in somanur. We went to samalapuram to buy chicken. We selected a 2.3 kg cock. After removing feathers it was only 1.5 kg. We paid Rs. 240 per kg and total 492.

We planned a small drinks party and we had it along with chicken fry. The taste was average since my wife and nandhu's wife are amateurs in cooking. We had the whisky and returned home. Had lunch and had a small nap for two hours. Nandhu & family returned at about 5 pm.

IRCTC - Settlement Requested

How to get refund from IRCTC for failed transaction?

IRCTC (Indian Railway Catering and Tourism Corporation Limited) is a Government of India Enterprise that offers online booking of rail tickets in India. Everyday hundreds of thousands of people book their tickets using internet via IRCTC. IRCTC offers a variety of payment methods for online ticket reservation.

I have booked many tickets using IRCTC in the past. But last week i booked bulk tickets for my friends for a goa trip. I used my Karur Vysya Bank Debit card for payment. IRCTC offers a number of payment gateways powered by CITI bank, HDFC bank, Axis Bank etc.

Amount Debited from account and Ticket not booked, what happened? Can i get a refund.

Online payment is a complex process that involves a number of stages. Your ticket will be booked successfully if only all the stages are completed. If a stage fails in the process your ticket will not be booked. For example if you give wrong CCV number / expiration date your payment via Credit card / debit card will not complete. In that case a Settlement Failed entry will be posted in Refund Status of Failed Transaction in My Transactions section of your IRCTC account. This part will have S.nO, Transaction ID, Pay Status (settlement failed/settlement requested), Reservation status, Total Amount and Bank.

If settlement Failed is shown you can ignore it as no amount is debited from your account. In case amount is debited from your account and no ticket is booked a 'settlement requested' status will be shown. In that case IRCTC will refund your amount in few days.

What to do? Whom to contact to get the refund? Should i contact IRCTC or my Bank?

Don't worry. Your amount will be refunded automatically to your bank account in 4-5 working days. Check your account statement in 4-5 days.

I got an email indicating that my payment was refunded. The following is the email i got from IRCTC

The refund of Rs. for the transaction tried by you under reference no.xxxxxxxx which has failed and later found that the payment has been debited to your credit card account has been credited to your card account at 30-Nov-2010 .
We suggest you to please retry the transaction, if not booked already. The booked tickets history can be checked to view the list of all tickets booked by you.
Warm regards,

So don't panic if amount is debited and no ticket is booked in IRCTC website.

Sundar's Diwali Wishes

Festival of lights or Festival of frights. I started hating Diwali for the past few years. What is good in firing crackers, wearing new cloths and eating bellyfull meals, if you are unkind towards fellow humans. People are rushing madly to cloth shops, sweets shops, electronics, mobile other shops to purchase goods in discounts, offers, freebies etc. Especially middle class people are bound to this disease. Family head / Father / Husband suffers a lot for the greeds of their wives and children. Children too are addicted to this mania. We can forgive the children since they are too young to understand the reality.


In a poor country like India there is great disparity of Income among people. Some families earn as low as Rs. 100 per day while some biggies earn as much as hundreds of thousands of rupess per day. While this is not uncommon in countries where capitalism rules, in India the situation is different. The gap between poor, middle class and rich is very big. The job opportunities in IT, BPO and servcie sectors have helped middle class youths to realize their dreams. Five figure income is not uncommon for Indian Middle class. While the middle class is flourishing from the economic boom the former backbones of Indian economy, agriculture and allied sectors have seen downfalls. This has resulted in poverty in millions of families.

The government of India has taken no steps to improve the quality of life for rural Indians. Politicians and officials are busy harvesting money from many scams. The recent commonwealth games are evidence that more than half of the Government machinery is corrupt. There is another important news about the functioning of this machinery. The Food Corporation of India stocks food grains in numerous godowns across the country. The recent findings have shown that hundreds of thousands of these food grains are rotting in the godowns of the FCI due to inadequate storage facilities. A pulblic litigation was heard by the high court bench and the judges recommended the government the food grains free of cost to the thousands of poor and hungry people. The minister of the concerned department promptly denied the judges recommendations. He would not allow the food to be supplied free of cost to the dying fellow Indians. Still he will take thousands of Indian Ruppee as salary, hundreds of thousands of rupees as allowance, millions of rupess as bribe, bank accounts in switzerland and other luxuries free of cost. He is not willing to give any piece of bread to the starving fellow Indian.

Such is the condition of Indian Mindset today. We have become very greedy, jealous and selfish. This selfishness starts from the individual. Indians especially Tamils were examples of hospitality and kind heart. But that was a thing of past. The western education has corrupted the minds of Indian youths to the level that it is too late to reverse. The joint family structre is no more available. After marriage the girls wants to immediately seperate their husbands and start a new family. There is no understanding between in-laws. No understanding between wife and her mother-in-law. Educated women prefer nuclear family. This is the first sign of selfishness. This is my family, my child, my husband. I want nobody else in my life. That is the mindset of modern indian women. This collective minset will lead to nothing but chaos. These people loose affection for parents and ultimately the parents are left in homes for orphans. The same thing will happen to them in few years when they become old.

Today we celebrate the Saraswathi Pooja and Ayuthapooja. Vijayadasami is the day on which the Goddess killed the demon mahishasura. Saraswathi is the Godess of Wisdom. So in this day school and college students will pray saraswathi with their study books. New courses are started on this day.

In companies, factories and workshop this day is celebrated as Ayutha pooja. Ayutha means weapon. So the working people want the grace of Godess and put their tools before the godess and pray for good fortunes. Today we celebrated this pooja in my brother's workshop. In my browsing center i have not yet celebrated ayuthapooja. I have planned to do it in the evening.


Happiest are those olden days when i was young boy. There will be expectations about the pooja holidays and forthcoming deepawali celebrations. After Saraswathi Pooja Diwali will soon come in about two weeks. So there is much joy among boys about the holidays. On the day of pooja morning we will collect flowers from nearby flower trees and will make Poo Maalai. Mango leaves will be put together and tied in front of doors. Preparation of Sundal is essential part of Pooja. Pori Kadalai is another essential ingredient of the Pooja items. We will wash two wheelers, fathers moped our cycles and decorate it with flowers and kumkum. The joy of Pooja will last for two days. After holidays we have to go to school. It is not a happy thing. But we know that diwali will come soon. With that thought in mind we can easily manage the next two weeks.

I am now a grown up man with wife and a child. I am no longer bothered by these celebrations. Pooja is just another day in my life. Diwali too does not interest me anymore. Apart from leave from work and oil bathing nothing is interesting about it.

This is because in the old days good meals, new clothing and sweets are rare. But nowadays these are common things. Purchasing of people has increased. People can get anything anytime now.

Donate Blood - For a noble cause

Day before i yesterday i made a blood donation at KG hospital, Coimbatore. It was for my uncles daughter. She underwent uterus removal operation at a hospital in kalapatti. She needed two units of A1 positive blood. Me and my brother babu went to KG hospital with sivakumar and rayappan. We filled a form and the staff asked us to lie on bed and inserted needle to pull blood. I was making a good outflow babu made it too with little struggle. Though rayppan's group was different he volunteered to donate his blood. Nursing staff could not find suitable vein in his arms. So he could not donate.
