Obituary - My Dad Mr.Meenakshisundaram - October 5th, 2007

My dad Mr Meenakshisundaram (Son Of Mr Sankaran Chettiar of Timmarayanpalayam, near Mettupalayam) passed away peacefully in the early hours of October 5th 2007, Friday. (in the sleep). He was 69 and nearing the 70th birthday. He was cremated the same day. The last rites were performed, on October 10th Wednesday at Nandavanam, Mettupalayam.

 

For the last 5 years he was retired. He was into Hosiery business at Tiruppur, Tamilnadu, INDIA.

 

It is a big loss for us and now my brother & family will take care of my mom. My sisters live in the same town, so no issues, they can meet often.

 

He is survived by his 3 younger brothers and 4 younger sisters. He has been taking care of them from the age of 17, as my Grand Father had passed away in Kotagiri during 1952. My Grand Ma had passed away at the age of 80, 5 years ago.

 

I have been sort of detached from the family for the last 17+ years after college and work, but every decision I make in career or business or investment, he has been guiding me in every step of the way.

 

We dont know what he was sufferring from. Mostly it could have been cancer in his lungs. He has been loosing weight regularly from November 2006 (60 to 51). He was using Bromide inhaler - someone predicted Asthma/Bronchitis. His Oxygen flow was perfect, but they couldnt do the biopsy - for the tumour that was found in the scan outside of Trachea, as he was very weak and not recommended for the anasthetic. He was a smoker from young days and had given it up about 5 years ago.

 

He has been to Kasi and Rameswaram in the last couple of years as he had wished.

Performance and Service in Private sector

Few people have the mentality that they can work aroudn the same way in Private sector, that they have seen around in governement sector. I am a person who has moved from govt. co to a private one.

Nobody accepts drunk co-workers in Private sector.

Just handling a small team, which has a team leader, does not constitute major work as a Manager.

People have to ensure that they get the job done for the money being paid. Just marking the time, alone will not help. Better find a job elsewhere.

Just by not accepting the final offer with details, but the offer on accepting to make a mark in the private sector will not help.

When there is a 3 months notice for all the people in the company in the management cadre, and not accepting that in principle, does not constitute sub-ordination.

You have to respect seniors. Without that you cannot survive in the Private sector.

JODI No 1 (Sept 29th, 2007)

Hats off to Simbu, in making the eliminated candidates mother (addressing her aunty) to make her talk openly.

As any program, it is obvious like last time, Prithivraj and Uma Riyas are planned and destined to win. They might bring in a drame, to eliminate them, and get them back in the wild card round.

Please remove Sangeetha (Sorry to my wife's friend, who is sister of Sangeetha) and get back Ramya Vamsi.

Koffee with Anu (Sept 29th with KKK Team)

Boring!

Any is running out of ideas.

StarTV (R) is too finding tough to get interview candidates.

Kanaa Kaanum Kaalangal team, was totally boring. I didnt understand what the mission statement was.... other than these guys claimed themselves popular! Gee!

I am worried about talent of Anu.

Mail me you comments.

Koffee with Anu (Murali and Kathir)

Koffee with Anu (Murali and Kathir)

Murali narrated a touching episode, otherwise, boring.

Kathir doesnt have speaking skills.

Anu should talk to her husband, to learn how to talk to males.

Job Offers and Revision in salaries

Take a cue in the market.

 

Dollar is falling, and all companies, that are growing are under stress. I have seen peoiple taking a paycut, to join a good company.

 

New joinees have to be very careful, by meeting their obligations and ensuring that they are satisfied at any costs. You have to do a lot to ensure that happens, and if you just sit idle and wait for things to happen, you will fail miserably.

 

Just marking time at work, will not help. Taking long lunches, and long breaks and always on mobile calls does not help. You have to stretch beyond your ways and get the work done. If you dont understand the work, ask. People pay you lots of money to get hmm.. lots of work done.

 

Money isnt everything. Prove yourself for a period of 6 months, before you ask for a raise.

 

Most of the growing copmanies offer stock options after a certain period with the company. For example at the time of confirmation. There is a vesting period you have to understand. You will have to hold the stock option for a period, when they are available to be bought or sold, if you stay with the company. You cannot determine, when they can be bought or sold.

 

Behave with the management, and just because someone is friendly dont take advantage of it.

Muralitharan bigger than Bedi

Masters of spin and woes, could have been the apt title for the article Mukul Kesavan wrote.

Read here on Cricinfo More than Muralitharan; bigger than Bedi

My comment is also there....

I think that Murali is correct when he says he is within the legal limits of chucking as per ICC rules. Bedi is also correct when he says according to him he consider's Murali's action similar to chucking.

There is no contradiction here as I will explain with an example. A person has parked his car regularly for last 10 years at acertain place. Today Police put up a "No Parking " board. What was legal until yesterday will now be illegal. Similarly, ICC by declaring a limit on arm bending has made Murali's action legal. Let's however allow Bedi to retain his stance based on human eye instead of the lab tests. I think Murali should not have sought legal action but rather ignored the comment of Bedi. Similarly no body has commented on Arjuna Ranatuga's response which is more defamatory than Bedi's statement.
