Nine Indians Who have Planets Named after Them….

April 26, 2015NatarajanLeave a comment

Viswanathan Anand just had a planet named after him. The Chess Grandmaster, once nicknamed the “Lightning Kid”, famous for his rapid tactical calculations has been immortalized with planet Vishyanand, the main asteroid belt minor planet between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter.

But Indians are no strangers to having planetary bodies named after them – these whiz kids have had their own planets for a while now.

Hamsa Padmanabhan

At 16, Hamsa Padmanabhan had a minor planet 21575 named ‘Hamsa’, after her. She was then a second-year B.Sc student of Fergusson College, when she made a presentation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology’s (MIT) Lincoln lab for the Intel International Science and Engineering Fir (ISEF) in 2006. Today at 21, she is doing her post graduation in Physics from Pune University, after which she plans to do her doctoral research in theoretical physics.

Sainudeen Pattazhy

NASA named a minor planet (5178 No CD4) after Kerala zoology professor Sainudeen Pattazhy for his environmental research and campaigns, including red rain, health hazard of mobile phone towers, biological control of mosquitoes and the eco-biology of trees of religious importance.

Vishnu Jayaprakash

In 2010, Vishnu Jayaprakash, then a Chennai Class XII student of Chettinad Vidyashram demonstrated a microbial fuel cell that runs on cow dung and inexpensive graphite electrodes. The minor planet named after him is called 25620 Jayaprakash. He aimed to reduce power costs for India’s 700,000 villages. Today, he has done extensive research on renewable energy technologies, and is now focussing on Microbial Fuel Cell (MFC) technology.

Anish Mukherjee

When Anish Mukherjee and Debarghya Sarkar were only 16 years old, they noticed the large scale bottle tampering rampant in India. They took the idea of autodisposable syringes—which, once used, cannot be used again—and implemented that for one-time use bottle cap. Their design enabled customers to know if the the bottle had been tampered with. For this, planet 2000 AH52 he was renamed 25629 Mukherjee.

Debarghya Sarkar

In 2010, Sarkar and his school classmate Anish Mukherjee worked on an innovative design that would make bottle-caps completely tamper proof. For his contribution to electrical and mechanical engineering, 25630 Sarkar (previously 2000 AT53) is named after him. Debarghya Sarkar is currently a Ph.D. student at the University of Southern California. He plans to take his interest in bottle cap design towards a larger goal – design, fabrication and integration of devices that modulate photons and electrons.

Hetal Vaishnav

When class X student Hetal Vaishnav saw that ragpickers were not picking up waste packets made up of multilayer plastic, she found that recycling companies avoided buying multilayer film plastic waste from them as it cannot be reused or recycled. Hetal then spent months to innovate upon a process to deliver an innovative material that is “sustainable to water, has good nail- and screw-holding capacity, and has features that are better than MDF (Medium-density fibreboard) and plywood.”. This let her use multilayered and metallised plastic used for packaging wafers and chewing tobacco. “I got a certificate from Lincoln Lab a few days ago,” Hetal said on telephone from Rajkot. Planet 25636 Vaishnav was named for her contribution to the environment.

Akshat Singhal

After Akshat found how annoying it was to index documents in a computer, he developed a system to automatically categorise documents, and also find relations between them, using artificial intelligence. The planet named after him, 12599 Singhal, is in the same region of planets that has 8749 Beatles, 2001 Einstein and 7000 Curie.

Madhav Pathak

Madhav Pathak has changed the conventional Braille slate, making writing easier for the visually impaired. After Madhav Pathak found that his uncle could not easily write in Braille, the system of six raised dots, he decided to change it. Braille has a steep learning curve: Blind children have to memorise more than 300 combinations of dots, since they need one set of combinations for reading, and another set for writing! Madhav has modified the Braille slate (used for writing the language), which lets students easily read and write the language. For this, he has 12509 Pathak named after him.

Viswanathan Anand

Named Vishyanand, the main belt minor planet is between the orbits of planets Mars and Jupiter. The planet was discovered in 1988 by Kenzo Suzuki in Toyota, Japan and was nameless until now. A minor planet is usually named after the person who discovered it but if it remains nameless, then it’s in the hands of the committee members to name it. Hence Micahel Rudenko, a minor planet committee member and an ardent fan of Viswanathan Anand’s knack for chess decided to name the planet ‘Vishyanand’. He is only the third chess player in the world after Alexander Alekhine and Anatoly Karpov to be honored in this fashion.

Message for the Day…” Scripture [ shastra] is like a Mother; She does not Giveup…”

April 25, 2015NatarajanLeave a comment

People yield to delusion and become one with the darkness caused by false values and attachment to the unreal, the ‘me’ and ‘mine’. But the scripture (Shastra) is like a mother; she does not give up. She persists and pursues; she reminds you of your goal so that you will be saved. The scriptures are to be considered as the cause of the awareness of the incomprehensible, immeasurable and inexpressible Brahman. The scriptures are numberless, and a lifetime is too short. Aspirants are plenty; doubts and hesitations are numerous; steadfastness is meager. As a result, no one can claim full mastery. But you need not drink the entire ocean to know its taste; one drop is enough. Similarly, it is impossible to understand all the contents of the scriptures. But it is enough to grasp the important lesson that it teaches and put it into practice. The lesson is: constant remembrance of the Divine.

படித்ததில் பிடித்தது …”ஒன்றை இழக்காமல் மற்றொன்றை அடைய முடியாது …”!!!

April 25, 2015NatarajanLeave a comment

ஒன்றை இழக்காமல், மற்றொன்றை அடைய முடியாது என்பர். இது தெரிந்திருந்தும், கையில் உள்ளதை இழக்க விரும்பாமலும், அதேசமயம் எதிர்பார்ப்பை விட முடியாமலும், மனித மனம் அல்லாடுகிறது. ஆனால், யாருக்கு எதை, எப்போது தர வேண்டும் என்பது கடவுளுக்கு தெரியும்.

வயது முதிர்ந்த ஒருவர், வாத நோயால் பீடிக்கப்பட்டிருந்தார். அது, குணமாவதற்காக குருவாயூர் சென்று, 48 நாட்கள் விரதமிருப்பதாக வேண்டி, பக்தியோடு குருவாயூரப்பனை வழிபட்டு வந்தார்.
தினமும் மூன்று வேளை குளத்தில் குளிப்பதும், குருவாயூரப்பனைத் தரிசனம் செய்வதுமாக இருந்தார். அவ்வாறு அவர் குளத்தில் குளிக்கும்போது, தன் சேமிப்பு பணமான, 2,000 ரூபாயை ஒரு துணியில் மூட்டையாக கட்டி, கரையில் வைத்து விட்டுக் குளிப்பார்.
அவர், எட்டு வயது சிறுவனை தன் உதவிக்காக வைத்திருந்தார். அவன், இப்பெரியவரை அழைத்துச் சென்று குளிக்க வைத்து, சாமி தரிசனமும் செய்ய வைப்பான். அதற்காக, அவனுக்குச் சம்பளமும் உண்டு. அப்பையனும், தன் கடமைகளை ஒழுங்காக செய்து வந்தான்.
கடைசி நாளான, 48வது நாள், தன் பண மூட்டையைக் கரையில் வைத்து, சிறுவனைக் காவலுக்கு இருக்கச் செய்து, குளத்தில் மூழ்கினார் பெரியவர். அவர் மனதில் ஏமாற்ற உணர்ச்சி ஏற்பட்டு, ‘என்ன குருவாயூர் இது… ஒரு மண்டலமாக விரதம் இருந்து வழிபாடு செய்றேன்; துளிக்கூட முன்னேற்றம் இல்ல. சரியாக நடக்க கூட முடியலயே…’ என்று வெறுப்போடு மூழ்கி எழுந்தார்.
அதே நேரம், கரையில் பண மூட்டைக்குக் காவலாக இருந்த பையன், பண மூட்டையை தூக்கியபடி ஓடத் துவங்கினான்.

டேய்… திருடன் திருடன்…’ என்று கத்தியவாறு, அவனைத் துரத்தினார் முதியவர்.
பையன் ஓட, பின்னாலேயே முதியவர் ஓட, இருவருமாக மூன்று முறை கோவிலை வலம் வந்தனர். அதன்பின், கோவிலுக்குள் நுழைந்து, கொடிமரத்தைக் கடந்து, கருவறைக்குள் மறைந்த சிறுவன், குருவாயூரப்பனாக தரிசனம் தந்தார்.
திகைத்துப் போன முதியவர், ‘குருவாயூரப்பா… என்ன நியாயம் இது… என் வாத நோயையும் குணமாக்கல; பணத்தையும் கொள்ளையடிச் சுட்டீங்களே..’ என்று கண்ணீர் விட்டார்.
உடனே, குருவாயூரப்பன், ‘பக்தா… உன் நோயை தீர்க்கவில்லை என்றால், நீ, எப்படி இவ்வளவு தூரம் என்னைத் துரத்தி ஓடி வந்திருக்க முடியும்…’ என்றார்.
முதியவருக்கு அப்போது தான் உண்மை புரிந்தது. தன் வாதநோய் குணமாகி, கால்கள் நன்றாக இருப்பதை உணர்ந்தார். ஆனாலும், தன் பண மூட்டை போனது வருத்தத்தை கொடுத்ததால், ‘பகவானே… என் கால்கள் குணமாகி விட்டது; ஆனால், என் பணம் போய் விட்டதே…’ என்றார்.
‘நீ ரோகம் போய், ஆரோக்கியம் வேண்டுமென்று கேட்டாய்; ஆரோக்கியம் கொடுத்தேன். உன்னைப் போலவே, ஓர் ஏழை, தன் மகள் திருமணத்திற்குப் பணம் வேண்டுமென்று, என்னை வேண்டிக் காத்திருந்தான். உன் பணத்தை, அவனிடம் கொடுத்தேன்…’ என்றார் பகவான். உண்மையை உணர்ந்தார் முதியவர்.
இறைவனுக்குத் தெரியும். யாருக்கு, எப்போது, எதைக் கொடுக்க வேண்டுமோ, அப்போது அதைக் கொடுப்பார். அதனால், இறைவனை நினைப்போம்; இன்னல்கள் விலகி, சுகமாக இருப்போம்!
திருமந்திரம்!
சன் மார்க்கச் சற்குரு சந்நிதி பொய்வரின்
நன் மார்க்கமும் குன்றி ஞானமும் தங்காது
தொன் மார்க்கம் மாய துறையும் மறந்திட்டுப்
பன் மார்க்கமும் கெட்டுப் பஞ்சமும் ஆமே
கருத்து: ஞானத்தைப் போதிக்கும் சத்குருவின் முன் பொய் சொல்லக் கூடாது. சொன்னால், அதுவரை, குருநாதர் காட்டிய நல்வழியெல்லாம் குன்றி, ஞானமும் தங்காது. குருவை அடைவதற்கு முன், ஏதேனும் நல்வழியை அறிந்திருந்தாலும், அதுவும் மறைந்து விடும். வழி தெரியாமல், பல திசைகளிலும் திகைப்பே மிஞ்சும். வறுமை, தானே வந்து சேரும்.

Powerful Earthquake Rocks Nepal….

April 25, 2015April 25, 2015NatarajanLeave a comment

Powerful 7.9-magnitude earthquake rocks Nepal

The quake’s epicenter less than 50 miles from capital city of Kathmandu. Hundreds dead and many historic buildings collapsed.

The death toll is still rising from the powerful 7.9-magnitude earthquake – an extremely strong earthquake – in Nepal today (April 25, 2015). Hundreds are reported to have died from the quake so far, which wrecked many historic buildings. USGS originally reported the quake at a 7.5-magnitude and later upgraded this estimate. The quake took place at 6:11 UTC (1:11 a.m. CDT). This powerful quake’s tremors were felt across the region, and into neighboring India, Pakistan and Bangladesh. The quake struck between the capital Kathmandu and the city of Pokhara about 120 miles (200 km) away. At least one strong aftershock (6.6 magnitude) has already occurred, with many smaller aftershocks, and more are expected.

Nepali minister reports “massive damage” at the epicenter.

– Preliminary death toll at 686 at 7:30 a.m. CDT (1230 UTC), according to the New York Times.

– Eight bodies recovered from Mount Everest after an avalanche triggered by the quake in Nepal.

– The landmark Dharahara tower is among buildings reduced to rubble in Kathmandu.

Journalist Siobhan Heanue, of ABC News Australia, was in Kathmandu when the quake struck. She tweeted the following shocking before-and-after images:

I took these photos an hour apart. Was wandering when quake demolished temples before my eyes. Heartbreaking.

The magnitude 7.9 earthquake that hit Nepal today was the result of a collision of great land plates on Earth. This process has caused deadly quakes in the past, including the 2005 Kashmir earthquake (7.6-magnitude) that killed over 80,000 people.

At the same time, according to USGS, just four events of magnitude 6 or larger have occurred within 150 miles (250 km) of the April 25, 2015 earthquake over the past century.

This Flight Attendant “goes the extra mile ” to Help a Sick Pax ….

April 25, 2015NatarajanLeave a comment

A FLIGHT attendant has been praised for “going the extra mile” to help a passenger.

Approximately three hours into a Turkish Airlines flight from Osaka to Istanbul, a Japanese passenger fainted, hitting her head. Her glasses shattered, cutting her cheek.

That’s when crew member Burcu Kirmaci sprung into action, according to local news site Bgnnews.com .

She applied first aid and looked after the passenger until the flight landed in Istanbul 10 hours later, but didn’t stop there. Ms Kirmaci escorted the passenger to hospital to get stitches, after realising the difficulty she would have

experienced there without knowing the local language.

“I knew I was the only one who could fully help the passenger given that I speak Japanese,” Ms Kirmaci said.

She liaised with the Turkish doctor and the passenger, and took charge of the rest of the injured woman’s itinerary. She refused to leave her side, accompanying the passenger back to her final destination at approximately 10.30pm that night.

Fellow Japanese passengers from the flight voiced their appreciation and tried to offer Ms Kirmaci gifts.

She said her decision “was not an act of responsibility but rather an act of empathy”.

Message For the Day….”Value and Significance of Image Worship”

April 24, 2015NatarajanLeave a comment

Many people slander image worship, but its basis is really one’s capacity to see the macrocosm in the microcosm. The value of image worship is testified by experience; it doesn’t depend on one’s imaginative faculty. What is found in the form of the Lord (Virat-swarupa) is also found, undiminished and unalloyed, in the image form (Swarupa). Images serve the same purpose as metaphors and similes in poetry. They illustrate, amplify, and clarify. Joy comes not through the shape of things but through the relationship established. Not any child but her child makes the mother happy. So it is with each one and all things! With each and every thing in the universe, if one establishes that kinship, that Godly love(Iswara prema), then truly an overpowering joy can be experienced! Only those who have felt it can understand.

What is the Difference Between Green and Black Tea …?

April 24, 2015NatarajanLeave a comment

What’s the difference between green and black tea? Isn’t it all just tea from the same plant?

Both black and green tea is harvested from an evergreen, tree-like shrub known as camellia sinensis. Most likely originating in China, the camellia sinensis is thought to have first been used to brew a medicinal elixir during the Shang Dynasty (1600 BC to 1046 BC). By the Qin Dynasty in the third century BC, it had become a relatively popular drink using only the leaves from this plant, rather than mixed with other things as seems to have been common when used medicinally.

As for the plant itself, camellia sinensis can grow as tall as 30 ft if left untended, but is generally kept significantly shorter, usually only 3-6 ft tall, to make it easier to harvest the buds and leaves. It is those that are then processed to become green or black tea, among other types.

The difference between these teas is achieved via different processing methods. Manufacturers create green tea by picking the leaves off the plant and then heating them immediately afterwards. This is commonly done by pan firing the leaves or steaming them. Sufficient heat stops the leaves from oxidizing, allowing them to maintain their green color.

Leaves that are going to be used for black tea are allowed to ferment, or oxidize, completely. The general process here is to roll, tear, or crush the leaves to help along the oxidation process (similar to why the inside of an apple turns brown when you expose it to air). The leaves are then dried out, sometimes in the Sun or otherwise using machines. As the leaves oxidize, they gradually turn from green to black.

Other common types of tea include white and oolong. Oolong is initially generally processed in the same way as black tea, but isn’t allowed to oxidize for as long. Once the desired oxidation level has been reached, which varies quite a bit by type and manufacturer (some oolong tea is closer to green tea, while others is closer to black in oxidation levels), the leaves are fired similar to green tea to stop the oxidation process at that point.

White tea is made by picking the leaves and buds early in the year while the bud is still closed. From here, the leaves may be placed out to dry in the Sun or may be dried out in some other fashion, in either case attempting to minimize oxidation during this process.

Bonus Facts

Contrary to what you might think, the highest tea consumption per capita is not found in the United Kingdom, but rather Turkey at 7.682 kg per person per year. The U.K. rings in at number 5, and has actually been on the decline of late, with a 6% drop in tea sales in the last year alone in the U.K., which has only continued the recent trend. On the flipside, coffee sales are rising in the U.K. at about the same rate as the tea sales are falling annually.
Americans overwhelming preferred black tea to green, with 84% of the tea consumed being of the black variety and 14% green.
It is thought that tea arrived in Europe as a result of Portugal’s trading privileges with China. A Jesuit priest by the name of Jasper de Cruz is often credited with being the first to bring tea back to Portugal with him after visiting China in 1590.
Tea drinking didn’t become common in Britain until around the 18th century, when tea smuggling became big business in that country. Previous to this, the taxes on tea tended to make it unaffordable to lower class citizens as something regularly consumed.

Few Misconceptions and Myths Busted….!!!

April 24, 2015NatarajanLeave a comment

Think coffee comes from a bean? Think again. Source: Getty Images

YOU may need to sit down before you continue reading. It appears much of what you thought you knew about the world is simply not true.

Ripley’s Believe It Or Not in London has released the top 50 misconceptions we have about planet Earth and you could be in for a shock.

Modern day facts — termed “faux facts” by Ripley’s — have been put under the microscope and proven by experts to be factually incorrect. Think Everest is the highest mountain and that coffee is made from beans? Think again.

Instead our beliefs are thought to be a mash up of old wives tales, rumours and a case of good old Chinese whispers.

Not the tallest. Source: Getty Images

A spokesperson for Ripley’s Believe It Or Not said it was understandable most of us have fallen for these myths.

“If you’re told something enough times, you’re sure to start believing it.

“The misconceptions in this list are all pretty plausible, so it’s understandable that many … will have read it and been certain it’s true, with many of us being told these from an early age.

“Unbelievably, all of these commonly believed facts are in fact common misconceptions that we have myths and misconceptions.

“As our founder Robert Ripley used to say, it is often the strangest things that are true.”

Here are some of the more common myths busted::

1. Mount Everest is the tallest mountain in the world

Not true. While Mount Everest is officially known as the tallest mountain in the world, experts claim that in technical terms this is not true.

The summit of Mount Everest is higher above sea level than the summit of any other mountain however Mauna Kea in Hawaii is the tallest when measured from base to summit.

2. The Great Wall of China can be seen from space

It is commonly believed that one of the greatest feats of mankind is so huge it can be seen from the moon. However Apollo astronauts have confirmed that you can’t see the Great Wall of China from above and that all you can see from the moon is the white and blue marble of Earth.

3. Coffee is made from beans

Coffee fanatics obsess over their coffee beans. But while many assume that coffee comes from coffee beans, experts say they are actually made from seeds called a bean.

4. Sushi means “raw fish”

Although one of the common ingredients may be raw fish, sushi actually means “sour tasting”.

5. Toilets flush in different directions because of different hemispheres

Remember when you first went overseas and were told to expect toilet water to spin in a different direction because you were in a different hemisphere?

Well it’s not actually due to the hemisphere: the real reason is just that the water jets point in the opposite direction.

6. Dropping a penny from the Empire State Building will kill someone

Yes, it towers 381 metres high but a penny only weighs a gram and it tumbles as it falls. Its light weight combined with the tumbling effect produces so much air resistance that the penny never really gathers speed before it hits its terminal velocity and therefore definitely not enough to kill you.

7. Peanuts are a type of nut

Yes they have the word nut in their name, but peanuts, along with beans and peas, actually belong to the single plant family — Leguminosae.

8. Fortune cookies are a Chinese tradition

Love going to your local Chinese restaurant for the fortune cookie that comes with the bill at the end? This tradition was actually invented by the Americans.

9. Vikings wore horned helmets

They might be depicted in movies and books this way but experts say there is no actual evidence to suggest that Vikings ever wore horned helmets.

10. Chameleons change colour to match their surroundings

A chameleon is thought to change colour to fit in with its surroundings and people are often accused of being like a chameleon when they change their beliefs or behaviour to please others. But the real reason chameleons actually change colour as a response to mood, temperature and exposure to light. Not because of their surrounding objects.

11. One human year is equivalent to seven dog years

While it may be true for some dogs, it’s not a blanket rule. It all depends on the size and breed of the dog.

12. You lose body heat fastest through your head

You know when your mum tells you to put something on your head if you want to keep warm? Well apparently that’s just an old wives tale. Experts say you sould be just as cold if you went without a hat as if you went without trousers.

13. The forbidden fruit mentioned in the Book of Genesis is an apple

Absolutely not true. The bible never mentioned the forbidden fruit was an apple.

14. Vitamin C is an effective treatment for colds

You start to get sick and people tell you to eat an orange or buy some vitamin C tablets but apparently there is little or no evidence that vitamin C helps a cold. It is thought instead to help build up the immune system to ward off potential flu viruses.

15. Penguins mate for life

We all refer to penguins as upholders of the moral order as they remain entirely monogamous. But some species, such as the Emperor Penguin, are serial monogamists. They will mate with one penguins for a season then move onto another penguin the following year.

16. Caffeine dehydrates you

If you have a cup of coffee, make sure you follow it up with a large glass of water we’re told. However, while caffeinated drinks do have a mild diuretic effect — experts say they don’t appear to increase the risk of dehydration.

17. We use just 10 per cent of our brain

Neurologists say this is entirely untrue. Humans use nearly every part of their brain and most of the brain is active all the time.

18. Bulls charge at the colour red

It is a proven fact that bulls only see blues and yellow. The only reason they seem to be angered at red capes in bullfighting is because of its movement.

19. The capital of Australia is Sydney

We’re hoping every Australian already knows this but apparently this is one of the top misconceptions in the world. The capital, as we know, is Canberra.

” அடுத்த தடவை கெடைச்சுடும் …” !!!

ஒவ்வொரு ப்ரதோஷத்துக்கும் எங்கிருந்தாலும் பெரியவாளை தர்சனம் பண்ணி விடுவார் ப்ரதோஷம் மாமா. என்றைக்காவது அவர் வர சற்று தாமதமானாலோ, அல்லது
வரமுடியாமல் நிர்பந்தம் ஏற்பட்டாலோ, “ஏண்டா…ப்ரதோஷம் வந்துட்டானா?” என்று பெரியவாளே அன்போடு விஜாரிக்கும் அளவு பெரியவாளிடம் அவருக்கு அன்பு.

கடம் வித்வான் சுபாஷ் சந்தரன் மாமாவின் அத்யந்த பக்தர். ஒருநாள் வயலின் ரெட்டையர்கள் கணேஷ்,குமரேஷை மாமாவின் க்ருஹத்துக்கு அழைத்துக் கொண்டு வந்து கச்சேரி செய்ய வைத்தார் சுபாஷ் சந்தரன். மாமாவின் வீட்டில் எங்கு திரும்பினாலும் பெரியவா, பெரியவா, பெரியவாதான்!

கச்சேரி பண்ணிவிட்டு கிளம்பும்போது கணேஷ்,குமரேஷ் மாமாவிடம், “பெரியவா உருவம் பொறிச்ச காசு கெடைக்குமா மாமா?” என்று கேட்டனர். அப்போது அவரிடம்
கைவசம் காசு எதுவும் இல்லை. மாமாவுக்கு “இல்லை” என்று சொல்லிப் பழக்கமேயில்லை. எனவே “அடுத்த தடவை நீங்க ரெண்டு பேரும் வரச்சே கெடைக்கும்” என்று சொல்லிவிட்டார்.

இருந்தாலும் அவர்கள் கேட்டதை குடுக்க முடியவில்லையே என்ற உள்ளூர ரொம்ப வருந்தினார். கொஞ்சநாளில் அதை மறந்தே போய்விட்டார்.

ஒரு மாசம் கழித்து கணேஷ், குமரேஷ் இருவரும் பெரியவா முன் கச்சேரி செய்யும் பாக்யம் பெற்றார்கள். சுபாஷ் சந்திரன்தான் இதையும் ஏற்பாடு பண்ணியிருந்தார். கச்சேரி செய்தவர்களுக்கு சால்வை போர்த்தி கௌரவிப்பது மடத்தின் வழக்கம். எனவே அவர்களுக்கும் அழகான சால்வை மடத்து அதிகாரியால் போர்த்தப் பட்டது.

கூடவே இருவருக்கும் ஒரு சின்ன டப்பாவும் வழங்கப்பட்டது. திறந்து பார்த்தால்…….

பெரியவா திருவுருவம் பதித்த அழகான வெள்ளிக் காசுகள்!

“அடுத்த தடவை கெடைக்கும்” என்ற பக்தனின் வாக்கை பகவான் சத்யமாக்கினான்!

பக்தன் மேல் பகவானுக்கு எத்தனை ப்ரேமை! மாமாவிடம் இதை சொன்னபோது அவரால் பெரியவாளின் அன்பை எண்ணி எண்ணி நெகிழத்தான் முடிந்தது.
