Best Lines Ever said ……

Natarajan1 Comment

“The Best Lines ever said by a Man….”
When I was born, A Woman was there
To hold me…MY MOTHER
As I grew up as a child, A Woman was there
To care & play with me…!MY SISTER
I went to school, A Woman was there to
Help me learn….MY TEACHER
I became depressed when I lost, A Woman
was there to offer a shoulder…MY GIRLFRIEND
I needed compatibility, company and Love,
A Woman was there for me….MY WIFE
I became tough, A Woman was there to
To melt me…!MY DAUGHTER
When I will die, A Woman will be there to
Absorb me in…MOTHERLAND
If you are a MAN, value every Woman…. And
If you are a WOMAN, feel PROUD to be one.
If you HAVE A DAUGHTER make her understand and appreciate HER Divine Qualities.
If you HAVE A SON, make Him understand and appreciate the Divine qualities of a GIRL, WOMAN and MOTHER !!!

Message For The Day…. Set Apart Some Time for Yourself….

NatarajanLeave a comment

If for the whole day you are engaged in only gathering information, you do not take out time for yourself to think and reflect. A few quiet moments are sources for creativity. Some time during the day, sit for a few minutes, get into the cave of your heart, eyes closed, and kick the world away like a ball. But, during the day be 100 per cent attached to the work. Eventually, you will be able to be both attached and detached. This is the skill of living, the art of living.
Renunciation refills your energy. Creativity cannot happen only just through efforts.There is a beautiful story about Chhatrapati Shivaji. At one time Shivaji became so frustrated about ruling his kingdom that he went to his guru Samarth Ramdas and told him that he is fed up and that he just wants to renounce everything. Ramdas told him that he can renounce everything. Shivaji became so happy and relaxed at the very thought. Then Ramdas told him: “Now I am the king and you are my servant. Will you do whatever I ask you to do?” Shivaji replied: “For you I am ready to do anything.”Ramdas said: “Very good. Will you run this country for me?” Shivaji replied: “Yes, I will run the country for you!” Total renunciation had brought zeal and enthusiasm in him. Creativity springs up when you are relaxed. You have to renounce all work you have done the whole day, only then can you rest in the night.
Though many times pain, struggle and frustration have brought out creativity in some people, these are not the only reasons for a person to be creative. Millions of people in the world are struggling or frustrated, but they are not creative. So, taking out some time for yourself improves the quality of your life..

Class 7 Student…A Tech Whiz…

S. Arjun

School boy S. Arjun whose school bus locator app has won him the MIT App Inventor award

By inventing a school bus locator app (Ez School Bus Locator), S. Arjun, a class VII student of Velammal Vidyashram, Surapet, has done his school and family proud. Winner of the MIT App Inventor contest in the K-8 division, Arjun’s app was considered “one of the most creative and well thought out app of any age group.”

Arjun began dabbling with technology at the age of two. “Back then, I had been using programming software meant for kids. Later on, when I wanted to make more powerful applications, I started looking out for other tools. After mastering Logo and Scratch sometime back, I tried exploring Visual Basic on my own and started on a few basic applications,” he says.

His father suggested MIT App Inventor as a place to learn programming when he stumbled upon the contest. “It was two weeks before the submission date and I put in extra effort to finish it in time to submit. My parents helped me in the technical and design aspects of creating the app,” he adds, “I decided on a school bus locator because my parents were so worried when my school bus was late one day. This disturbed me and I wanted to find a solution that would make things easier for them. I hope to come up with more solutions to help keep our world safe.”

The Ez School Bus Locator is a two-app solution that uses a bar code scanning to check in and out from the bus and GPS to track the vehicle. There are even SMS alerts to keep parents informed. “This will help parents track their children on bus rides and it supports both Android phones and those that have no Internet facility,” Arjun explains.

He has already approached his school, which has agreed to run it as a pilot programme. “I had presented this app to my school management and they have been very supportive. They have agreed to run it this academic year and then, implement it as a full-fledged service the next academic year onwards.”

Ez School Bus Locator was also featured as the Mashup of the Day on Programmable Web, the world’s largest API and Mashup directory. “My first priority is to make this app available on the Google Play Store. I’m also getting ready for the pilot implementation in school. I also just started working on my dream project — starting my own company (on a small scale right now),” Arjun adds.

With his interests spanning robotics, electronics and badminton, Arjun dreams of becoming a Robotics engineer someday. “I practice robotics programming using my robotics kit when I find time.”

In a world of battery-hungry phones such as iPhones and Androids, the SpareOne Plus sticks out – its makers claim it lasts for 15 years.

The affordable mobile that runs on a single, AA battery and is built as a ‘spare’ phone for emergencies – it can even call emergency serviceswithout a SIM card.

Designed as a back-up phone you can carry without worrying if it’s charged or not, the SpareOne is built to leave in the car for emergencies, or to pack in travel luggage – especially if you or your loved ones plan to go off the beaten track !!!

The simple numerical keypad is also ideal for older users who might only use a phone occasionally.

The new version, SpareOne Plus, has a GPS tracker which allows the user to be tracked by

emergency services – and can display its location on a paired iPhone

app.

The SpareOne can be pre-programmed for instant access to phone numbers of key contacts, including the relevant emergency services in any location.

That single battery offers a talk time of up to 10 hours.

The phone’s developer, XPAL Power, says: “it’s essentially designed to make and receive the most important calls, no matter what”.

It even comes with the AA battery included.

“Has The Water Entered my ship ” ?!!!

NatarajanLeave a comment

source:::::unknown….input from a friend of mine…

natarajan

In 1923, nine of the wealthiest people in the world met at Chicago’s Edgewater Beach Hotel. Their combined wealth, it is estimated, exceeded the wealth of the Government of the United States at that time.

These men certainly knew how to make a living and accumulate wealth.

Attending the meeting were the following men:

1. The President of the largest steel company,

2. The President of the largest utility company,

3. The President of the largest gas company,

4. The President of the New York Stock Exchange,

5. The President of the Bank of International Settlements,

6. The greatest wheat speculator,

7. The greatest bear on Wall Street,

8. A member of President Harding’s cabinet.

9. The head of the World’s greatest monopoly

That’s a pretty impressive line-up of people by anyone’s yardstick.

Yet, let’s examine what happened to them 25 years later:

1. The President of the then largest steel company (Bethlehem Steel Corp), Charles M Schwab, lived on borrowed capital for five years before he died bankrupt.

2. The President of the largest utility company, Samuel Insull, died penniless!

3. The President of the then largest gas company, Howard Hubson, went insane.

4. The then President of the New York Stock Exchange, Richard Whitney, was sent to jail.

5. The President of the Bank of International Settlement, Leon Fraser, committed suicide.

6. One of the greatest commodity traders (Wheat Speculator) , Arthur Cutten, died insolvent.

7. The greatest “bear” on Wall Street, Jesse Livermore committed suicide.

8. The member of the US President’s Cabinet (the member of President Harding’s cabinet), Albert Fall, was pardoned from jail just to be able to go home and die in peace.

9. The President of the then world’s greatest monopoly, Ivar Krueger, committed suicide.

What they forgot was how to “make” life while they got busy making money! Money in itself is not evil. It is only a medium of exchange.
We need two kinds of education. One that teaches us how to make a living and the second how to live.

Many of us get so engrossed in professional life that we neglect our family, health, social responsibilities. And when asked why we do it, we would reply “For our family”

However, our kids are sleeping when we leave home. They are sleeping when we come home! 25years later, we’ll turn back and they’ll be gone to pursue their own dreams and lives.

Lessons from a Ship:

Without water, a ship cannot move. It needs water but if the water gets into the ship, it will face existential problems. What was a “means of living ”becomes a “means of destruction”.

Similarly we live in time where earning is a necessity but let not the earning enter our hearts, for what was once a means of living will surely become a means of destruction for us as well!

So take a moment to ask yourself:

“Has the water entered my ship?”

Message For The Day…Effective Communication Improves Your Life….

NatarajanLeave a comment

Learning to communicate effectively with everyone is a skill worth possessing. Most of the time you find that you are out of place. Communicating without prejudice is vital for success. If you are faced with someone who knows more than you, be like a child and keep your ears and eyes open for learning. If you are faced with someone who knows less than you, be humble and strive to make them as good as or better than you. Play with a small child as you played when you were a child. Talk with an elderly person remembering that one day you will be like that. Communicate with a person of your age group like you are his/her best friend.
This world is varied beyond our imagination, and there’s always something to share,learn and teach. When you are centered, you become a powerful communicator. And when your communication improves, your life improves.

Message For The Day….Have Determination and March on …

NatarajanLeave a comment

Be eager and earnest to know more and more about the art of unperturbed happy living. One can advance only step by step and there is the danger of slipping down two steps when you climb one. What matters is the determination to climb, the resistance with which the tendency to slide is met, the yearning to rise, to progress, to conquer the lower impulses and instincts. If you have that, the hidden spring of power will surge up within you; the Grace of the Lord will smoothen your path. Keep the ideal before you; march on. Only those with ideals are respected and remembered with gratitude, for posterity.

Spiritual Practice (Sadhana) is constantly cultivating good thoughts and undertaking good deeds. – Baba

Reblog of My Blog Post on this site on 9  Jan 2013 …

BRO.ANSELM … My teacher  ….In 1965 at my age of 15 he handed over my SSLC BOOK in person to me and wished me well….The bond between me and my teacher however  continued  further… I was so emotionally attached to him that we used to be in touch with each other till last Christmas in 2012 Dec…When i talked to him after receiving his affectionate Christmas card in DEC. he was telling me that he would be meeting me again in Feb 2013, at chennai when he  comes down to Chennai from Yercaud for his medical checkup.

Perhaps this is the first time , he will not be able to keep up his word to me….One of Santhome Montford Brothers called me on the night of 7 Jan and told me that our affectionate BRO.ANSELM has  left all of us in lurch and merged with JESUS on 7th evening at Yearcud Montford School.

He was not only my teacher….but a good friend, philosopher and guide at all times ….I am sure many of his students would miss him a lot like me..

Here is a Poetical Tribute to that Great Personality….

Nothing Political About These Jokes !!!!!!!!

Natarajan3 Comments

ALL ABOUT POLITICS!!!!!!!!!!…………

What happens if a politician drowns in a river? That is pollution.

What happens if all of them drown? That is solution!!!

We hang the petty thieves and appoint the great ones to public office.

~Aesop, Greek slave & fable author

Those who are too smart to engage in politics are punished by being governed by those who are dumber.

~Plato, ancient Greek Philosopher

Politicians are the same all over. They promise to build a bridge even where there is no river.

~Nikita Khrushchev, Russian Soviet politician

When I was a boy I was told that anybody could become President; I’m beginning to believe it.

~Quoted in ‘Clarence Darrow for the Defense’ by Irving Stone.

Politicians are people who, when they see light at the end of the tunnel, go out and buy some more tunnel.

~John Quinton, American actor/writer

Politics is the gentle art of getting votes from the poor and campaign funds from the rich, by promising to protect each from the other.

~Oscar Ameringer, “the Mark Twain of American Socialism.”

The Democrats are the party that says government will make you smarter, taller, richer, and remove the crabgrass on your lawn.

AND………………….

The Republicans are the party that says government doesn’t work and then they get elected and prove it.

~P.J. O’Rourke, American comedian

I offered my opponents a deal: “if they stop telling lies about me, I will stop telling the truth about them”.

~Adlai Stevenson, campaign speech, 1952..

A politician is a fellow who will lay down your life for his country.

~Texas Guinan. 19th century American businessman

I have come to the conclusion that politics is too serious a matter to be left to the politicians.

~Charles de Gaulle, French general & politician

Instead of giving a politician the keys to the city, it might be better to change the locks.

~Doug Larson (English middle-distance runner who won gold medals at the 1924 Olympic Games in Paris, 1902-1981)
