தமிழ் புத்தாண்டு பிறக்கும் வேளை!!!!!!

ஏப்.14ல் “விஜய’ தமிழ் புத்தாண்டு கொண்டாடப்படுகிறது. ஆனாலும், ஏப்.13 சனிக்கிழமை வளர்பிறை சதுர்த்தி, கார்த்திகை நட்சத்திரம் அமிர்தயோக வேளையில் இரவு 11.52 தனுசு லக்னத்திலேயே பிறந்து விடுகிறது. புத்தாண்டு பிறக்கும் நேரத்தின் அடிப்படையில், ஆண்டு முழுதும் நல்லமழை பொழியும் என்றும், விவசாயிகள் நல்ல மகசூல் காண்பர் என்றும் பஞ்சாங்கங்களில் கூறப்பட்டுள்ளது. தமிழ் ஆண்டு அறுபதில் விஜய 27வது ஆண்டாகும். சுபகிரகமான குரு, இந்த ஆண்டின் ராஜாவாக இருக்கிறார். குருவும், சந்திரனும் பலமாக இருப்பதால் இவ்வாண்டில் ராஜயோகம் பெறுபவர்கள் எண்ணிக்கை உயரும்.

தமிழ் புத்தாண்டு துவக்கத்தில் அதிக உஷ்ணம் ஏன்?

“”உலகின் இருளைப் போக்கி ஆத்மபலத்தை அளிக்கும் ஒளி மயமான சக்தி எதுவோ அதனை வணங்குவோம்” என்று சூரியனை ரிக்வேதம் போற்றுகிறது. வான மண்டலத்தில் இருக்கும் மற்ற கிரகங்களுக்கு சூரியனே ஆற்றல் வழங்குவதாக “சூரிய சித்தாந்தம்’ நூல் கூறுகிறது. சூரியன் சித்திரை மாதத்தில், மேஷ ராசியில் சஞ்சரிக்கும் காலத்தில், அளவற்ற ஆற்றலைப் பெறுகிறார். அதன் காரணமாகத்தான் அந்த மாதத்தில் உஷ்ணம் மிக அதிகமாக இருக்கிறது. அவர் முதல் ராசியான மேஷத்தில் பிரவேசிக்கும் நாளையே “தமிழ்ப்புத்தாண்டாக’ கொண்டாடுகிறோம். முதல்மாதமான சித்திரையில் சூரியன் உச்சநிலை பெறும் நேரத்தை “அக்னி நட்சத்திர காலம்’ என்று ஜோதிட சாஸ்திரம் கூறுகிறது.

விஜய ஆண்டு வெண்பா

மண்ணில் விஜய வரு மழை மிகுதி
எண்ணுசிறு தானியங்கள் எங்குமே நன்னும்
பயம் பெருகி நொந்து பரிவாரம் எல்லாம்
நயக்கலின்றி வாடும் என நாட்டு.
பொருள்: விஜய ஆண்டில் மழை அதிகமாகப் பெய்யும். புன்செய் தானியங்களான கம்பு,கேழ்வரகு போன்றவை அதிகமாக விளையும். அதிகாரிகள் பயத்துடன் கடமைகளைச் செய்து வருவர்.

சிறப்பான பலன் பெறும் ராசியினர்
ரிஷபம், சிம்மம், தனுசு
சுமாரான பலன் பெறும் ராசியினர்
மிதுனம், துலாம், கும்பம்
பரிகாரத்திற்குரிய ராசியினர்
மேஷம், கடகம், கன்னி,விருச்சிகம், மகரம், மீனம்.

புத்தாண்டில் என்ன நடக்கும்?

Jokes For The Weekend ….Booster Dose !!!!

President Idi Amin once called his Foreign Minister and told him that
he wanted to change the name of UGANDA to IDI. The Hon. Minister was tasked to canvas world opinion and return to the Field Marshal in two weeks.
He did not do so and was summoned and asked to explain.
He said “Mr. President, I have been reliably informed that there is a country called Cyprus and its citizens are called Cypriots.
If we change the name of our country to IDI, Our citizens will be called “IDIOTS”

An man sees a barber-shop with a sign saying “The World’s Closest, Cleanest Shave – Or Double Your Money Back”.

Curious – especially since he has a thick growth, which makes it difficult to get a really clean shave – he goes inside. He asks the barber how he can possibly make that promise. The barber smiles at him and says that in the past ten years no customer has ever asked for his money back.

How is that, asks the man. The barber again smiles and says it is all because of his secret shaving technique.

Even more curious now, the man asks for a shave and sits down in the barber’s chair.

The barber carefully unlocks his drawer and produces a small lacquered wooden ball. He places the ball in the man’s cheek to gently stretch the skin. And he then proceeds to shave the cheek as smooth as a baby’s bottom.

After finishing one side, the barber places the ball in the other cheek and repeats the process on the other side. The result is the most fantastic shave the man has ever had.

Very impressed, he pays the barber, and gives him a big tip. Then just before leaving, he stops, turns to the barber and asks, “You know that ball is so small and smooth I nearly swallowed it while you were shaving me”

The barber smiles and says “Actually, a lot of my customers do swallow that ball, sir”

“So what happens when they do that?”

“Oh, nothing. I just tell them to bring it back next day morning.”!!!!!!!!!!!!

Lotto Winner Thought She won $40000…But Her Prize money was $40 Million !!!!!

April 11, 2013April 11, 2013NatarajanLeave a comment

A Canadian lottery winner was thrilled when she thought she’d won $40,000 – and was shocked when her daughter told her she’d actually won $40 million.

A TORONTO woman did a happy dance when she thought she’d won $40,000 in the lottery – and then realised shed actually won $40 million.

Grandmother Maria Carreriro, 51, showed off her happy dance again when Canadian lottery officials presented her with a cheque for $C40 million ($37.6 million), the National Post reports.

She also threw in a few air kisses and “thank you Lord”s for good measure.

Ms Carreriro, a former factory worker-turned-stay-at-home mum, was over the moon when she told her daughter she’d just won $40,000.

“She’s jumping off the bed too and then she calls her (sister) and says, “Mommy won $40,000”, Ms Carreriro said.

“She went on the computer…and she goes ‘Mommy, you’re $40 million richer. I’m like ‘no way, no way’”

“I run down the street like a crazy woman and check the lottery ticket and it says $40 million and I go ‘Oh my God.”

Ms Carreriro meant to play a different set of numbers, but ended up with a quick pick that gave her many of her usual numbers. Her husband didn’t believe her when she called him at his office to tell him the good news, she said.

Spoiling her grandchildren, buying new homes for her family and a long-delayed honeymoon to Hawaii are first on her shopping list, she said.

Richard Branson”s New UK Airline!!!!

Virgin Atlantic has celebrated its first ever domestic flight, from London to Edinburgh.

Sir Richard Branson, the airline’s founder, was present at the launch of its inaugural domestic service, named Little Red.

He said the move would bring greater choice for consumers, potentially pushing down prices..

“Today marks the start of an exciting new chapter in Virgin Atlantic’s history,” said Sir Richard. “Our product, service and flair are known throughout the world, and we’re thrilled to be bringing that to domestic flying.

Virgin will soon fly 26 domestic flights a day, connecting Heathrow with Manchester and Aberdeen, as well as the Scottish capital.

The airline was granted new landing and take-off slots at Heathrow earlier this year following the takeover of Bmi by International Airlines Group (IAG) – the parent company of British Airways. Its foray into domestic services will also create dozens of jobs.

Nicola Sturgeon, deputy first minister of Scotland, welcomed the launch. “These new flights from Edinburgh and Aberdeen will create jobs, offer passengers easier access to Virgin’s global destinations and provide competition on these routes, resulting in a better deal for passengers,” she said. ?”Good access to Heathrow; Britain’s only hub airport, is essential for Scotland’s economic development.”

While Sir Richard was happy to reveal his specially-made outfit today, he may be less keen on the outfit he’ll be asked to wearnext month. On May 12 he will be boarding an AirAsia flight from Perth to Kuala Lumpur dressed as a female flight attendant to fulfil a bet made with AirAsia chief executive and F1 owner Tony Fernandes. Mr Fernandes, who once worked for Sir Richard’s music business, bet that his Lotus Racing team would perform better in its debut season than Virgin Racing, with the loser dressing up as a stewardess. Lotus Racing finished 10th, and Virgin 12th.

“The day of reckoning for Sir Richard has finally arrived,” Mr Fernandes said on Monday. “It’s an awkward moment when you go down memory lane and recall the times I used to work for Richard. And it’s hilarious to think now, that it’s Richard who will be working for me as a sassy flight attendant, complete with make-up, a pair of high heels and freshly shaved legs.”

A Question Answer Session With Chris Hadfield !!!

April 10, 2013NatarajanLeave a comment

Question: What time zone do you live by? Do you switch off the lights at “night”?

We live on Greenwich time, UTC, same as London, England. We shut of most lights at bedtime – it feels right to do it.

Question: How long does it take for you to orbit around the Earth?

ISS orbits the world every 92 minutes, so that makes it 8 km/sec, or 500 km/minute – 28,000 km/hr. Or about Mach 25.

Question: Have you done any space walks? If so, what was it like?

I was Canada’s first spacewalker, doing two to help build the mighty Canadarm2 robot onto ISS. It was the most magnificent experience of my life. Alone in a 1-person spaceship (my suit), just holding on with my one hand, with the bottomless black universe on my left and the World pouring by in technicolor on my right. I highly recommend it.

Question: You tweet a lot. When do you find the time?

The priorities are crew health, vehicle health, work/science & then personal pursuits; I take photos, tweet & play guitar when I can!

Question: How long does the mission last?

I’m in orbit, working onboard ISS for 5 months, until mid-May 2013.

Question: What are your personal quarters like on the ISS?

I’m typing now in my ‘Sleep Station’, a small padded room with a door, completely private, like a bedroom without the bed, and phone booth sized.

Question: How often do you exercise on the ISS?

We work out 2 hours per day, every day, just to stay at a constant level of fitness to be ready to do a spacewalk, and to have strong bones and muscles when we come home.

Question: How long did it take you to learn how to maneuver in zero gravity? Are you much better at it now than when you originally came aboard the ISS?

I’m still learning! But sometimes now, I am graceful. I feel like an adapted ape swinging through the jungle canopy … until I miss a handrail and crash into the wall.

Message For The Day….Do Not Worry About Ups And Downs ….

April 10, 2013NatarajanLeave a comment

First, have unshakeable faith that can stand the ridicule of the ignorant, worldly and the low-minded. When someone ridicules you, reflect within yourself – Are they ridiculing my body or soul? If they are ridiculing my body, they are helping me develop detachment! Ridiculing the soul is impossible, for, theAtma is beyond praise or blame, words or thoughts. Then repeat to yourself, “I am the Eternal Self, Pure and Immovable (Nirmala, Nischala) and so I must transcend this feeling.” Secondly, do not worry about ups and downs, loss or gain, joy or grief. You are the creator of your own destiny. You crave for something – when you get it, you feel joyful! If you don’t get it, you are in despair. Cut the craving off, and there will be no more swings between joy and grief. Finally, be convinced in the Omnipresence of Divinity.

Meet Neal Mohan…Google”s $100 Million Man !!!!!

April 8, 2013Natarajan2 Comments

Neal Mohan

Google global vice president for display, Neal Mohan

HE’S not a screamer. He doesn’t like long meetings. He responds quickly to people. His name is Neal Mohan, and he’s the brains behind Google’s display advertising cash cow.

How did a man who started out working for $60,000 a year become a $100 million man?

Mohan worked for internet startups Accenture and NetGravity in the late 1990s after graduating from Stanford with qualifications in electrical engineering. In 2003 he returned to complete his MBA.

His big break came when NetGravity was acquired by DoubleClick, the company he would eventually take with him to Google to drive the world’s biggest online advertising engine.

Mohan brought with him a wealth of knowledge in online consumer behaviour and an innate curiosity. He devised a 500-page powerpoint presentation in 2005 that is still used today as a blueprint for ad work.

That powerpoint presentation alone tripled the value of DoubleClick from $1.1 billion to $3.1 billion, the amount Google paid to acquire the company.

Such was Mohan’s skill-set that Google ad exec Susan Wojcicki put a broom through her department to allow the DoubleClick team to move straight across.

It was a risky move because one of the men Wojcicki let go, Gokul Rajaram, now heads Facebook’s lucrative display advertising team.

But Mohan made good on his word and with hard work and the shrewd acquisition of tools, such as the display platform Invite Media, his team made $5 billion for Google in 2011.

It’s little wonder Google paid him $100 million in stock to keep him from joining Twitter. He’s proving every bit his worth.

So how does a man known by clients as “the quiet assassin” go about his work? Surely he’d slam his fists on tables and terrify his colleagues.

Not according to sources who say he’s “not a screamer”, doesn’t “waste time in meetings” and “listens” to what his clients want.

Oh, and perhaps most importantly, he “doesn’t bullshit”.

Are you taking notes?
