Scattered Papers – really beautiful!

Once upon a time an old man spread rumors that his neighbor was a thief. As a result, the young man was arrested. Days later the young man was proven innocent. After been released he sued the old man for wrongly accusing him.
In court the old man told the Judge: 'They were just comments, didn't harm anyone..'

The judge, before passing sentence on the case, told the old man: 'Write all the things you said about him on a piece of paper. Cut them up and on the way home, throw the pieces of paper out. Tomorrow, come back to hear the sentence.'

The next day, the judge told the old man: 'Before receiving the sentence, you will have to go out and gather all the pieces of paper that you threw out yesterday.'

The old man said: 'I can't do that! The wind spread them and I won't know where to find them.'

The judge then replied: 'The same way, simple comments may destroy the honor of a man to such an extent that one is not able to fix it. If you can't speak well of someone, rather don't say anything.

'Let's all be masters of our mouths, so that we won't be slaves of our words.'

Think twice before you talk something about others.................

An Article about Boris Becker - the Tennis Player whom i admired the Most

This is an article Not written by Me- Its an article which i like the most - Because its about my All time favorite tennis player !! Boom Boom Becker !!!

Boom Boom, Der Bomber, Baron von Slam. Which ever nickname you knew Boris Becker by wasn't of importance. What is of significance is the career of the best German-born player to step onto the tennis court.

His game orbited around a fast, well placed serve. It's these serves that earned him the previously mentioned nicknames. The unusual rocking motion on his serve, combined with a willingness to dive for volleys on any surface brought smiles aplenty to the fans.

Becker also had a strong forehand and a great return of serve to offer. At times, he would try to outhit his opponents from the baseline, rather than using the patented serve and volley.

Remember John McEnroe's outbursts during games? You would see similar displays from Becker. However, unlike McEnroe, the rage didn't assist Becker's performance.

He generally swore at himself after bad plays, and broke a tennis racket here and there. To his credit, he never lashed out at an opponent during these moments.

It was only a year after turning professional in 1984 that Becker had taken the tennis world by awe. He became the first unseeded player and German to win the Wimbledon singles title.

The title earned him the dignified honor of being the youngest male to ever win a Grand Slam singles title at the age of 17. It wasn't until 1989 that the record was broken by Michael Chang at the French Open.

Becker defeated No. 1 seed Ivan Lendl in the 1986 Wimbledon Final to make it two for two. A third consecutive title deceived him in 1987 after a shocking second round exit.

In a Davis Cup match the same year, the German edged McEnroe in a match that lasted six hours and 39 minutes. Tie breakers weren't held at the time in the tournament, and Becker won 4-6, 15-13, 8-10, 6-2, 6-2.

He fell short at Wimbledon in 1988, losing to Stefan Edberg in the finals. The Swede was responsible for his exit in the 1989 French Open as well, with a semi-final victory.

Nevertheless, it was Becker who defeated Edberg in the Wimbledon Final that season, followed by a triumph over Lendl in the U.S Open Final.

For the second straight year, he helped West Germany score a Davis Cup victory defeating Andre Agassi in the semi-finals. He met Edberg yet again in the Wimbledon Final of 1990. It was a five-setter that Becker couldn't prevail in.

Agassi eliminated him from the U.S Open semi-final to ensure no back-to-back trophies. The Australian Open Final was unfamiliar territory for Becker in 1991. Surprisingly, he took down Lendl to become the World's No. 1 player.

Agassi refreshed his U.S Open win in 1990 with another semi-final display that saw the conclusion of Becker's tournament at the French Open. Boom Boom reached his fourth consecutive Wimbledon Final that year, losing unexpectedly to Michael Stich.

In the 1995 Wimbledon semi-final match, Becker gained some retribution over Agassi with a solid win. A guy named Pete Sampras was awaiting in the finals and brushed Becker aside in four sets.

He earned a final Grand Slam title in 1996 at the Australian Open. Becker defeated Chang and gave a memorable speech following the victory. He listed his sponsors and mentioned that he didn't have the whole day left.

Pondicherry My Second Home !!!

Pondicherry !! A Place which made what i am today, a place which made me meet all those people who did make a difference in my life, a place which made me understand what life is, a place which made understand what does it feel to face death, a place which got me my best friends, a place which got me my only fantasy, the place which got me a master's degree, a place which got me work experience, a place which made me a tamil movie admirer, a place which got me never ending relations, everything started from there !! Pondicherry !!

I miss that place- its my second home !!

My Arul Ashram Memories

Arul Ashram a monastery in working towards a mission, a mission of giving peaceful deaths to the unfortunate, abandoned ones, a mission of giving shelter to abandoned children, a mission for a good cause for Society- I always owe my Life to Arul Ashram and Fr. Dominic... I was one of the first student to step into Arul Ashram and that was in the year 1998... Thats when Arul Ashram was opened officially !! I still remember those day when it was a deserted place... It was so peaceful - The ambience in the Arul Ashram is serene as suitable with its name 'kindness."

When i was studying in Pondicherry University i was known for my short temperaments and that had put me into trouble and that lead me to the Vice Chancelor with a showcase notice... It was Fr. Dominic who sat with me through the midnight and made me understand the importance for the term named Patience.... That is when he led me to the path of being Kind and helping those needed people.. I took over the charge of a Volunteer assisting one American Named David at Shanti Bhavan - a Peaceful Home for HIV infected Patients-- It is a place which shook by beliefs about deaths i saw death through other people's eyes and i witnessed many deaths in front of me... It made me understand how cruel the society is and how illiterate they are....

Working with Arul Ashram also gave me the oppurtunity to face the hardship in lives, it made me realize that life is not a joke and i have to take it seriously, i had to work to my goals, it was truly a self realization process that i went through. It also taught me how cruel society can be... there was an incident which was like bolt from the dark... Me and Milkie takes the body of a AIDS patient to a graveyard the the Undertaker who was supposed to dig the Graveyard was reluctant as he came to know that the reason for the death is AIDS and the panchayaat was also against doing the same... And we had to dig the Grave ourselves !!

Fr. Dominic is the man who has inspired me a lot when it comes to the energy level at his age the energy level that he has no one can match it ... An MBA Graduate himself he set and guided many youngsters through the right path and Releigion was never an obstacle for him and he treats everyone the same...

And even today when i get an oppurtunity to visit Pondicherry and Arul Ashram i never miss it...

I miss that place a lot ~!!!

Kollam- My Home Town

Kollam (Quilon)

Kollam is the headquarters of the Kollam district and is one of the most scenic cities in Kerala. The town is well known for cashew processing and coir manufacturing. It is the southern gateway to the backwaters of Kerala, and thus, a prominent tourist destination.

History of Kollam

The city of Kollam is known by many different names that frequently changed with time. It was associated with names like Desinganadu, Kollam, and Quilon. From the days of the Phoenicians and the Romans this seaport town has continued to have a commercial reputation. Ibn Batuta regarded Kollam as one of the five main ports dealing in Chinese trade. Since ages rulers of Kollam and China have exchanged embassies and this led the town to flourish as a Chinese settlement.

The Portuguese were the first Europeans to establish a trading center at Kollam in 1502. Then came the Dutch followed by the British in 1795. A British garrison was stationed at Kollam in pursuance of a treaty between Travancore and the British.

During the rule of Velu Thampi Dalawa of Travancore the town experienced many changes, new bazaars were built and that invited merchants from Madras and Thirunelveli to settle here. Later on Kollam became the capital of the enlightened and liberal rulers of Desinganad.

As an administrative unit the town flourished in the year 1835, when the Travancore state consisted of two revenue divisions with headquarters at Kollam and Kottayam. In the year 1949 when Travancore and Cochin were desegregated, Kollam was one of the three revenue divisions in the state. Later on these three revenue divisions were converted into districts.

The later history of Kollam is interwoven with the Portuguese, Dutch and English rivalry for control of the Indian Ocean trade routes and commodities nearby. The Malayalam era is calculated from the founding of Kollam in the 9th century.

Geography of Kollam

The geographical coordinates for Kollam are 9.28'45° N 76.28'0° E. The district covers an area of 2,492 km² and ranks seventh in the State with respect to area. The district is bound on the north by Alappuzha district, north east by the Pathanamthitta district, east by Tirunelveli district of Tamil Nadu, south by [Thiruvananthapuram district]] and on the west by the Arabian Sea.

Kallada and Ithikkara are the two rivers that flow through this district. Shasthamkotta Lake is the only major fresh water lake in the State. Two other major lakes are the Ashtamudi Lake and the Paravur Kayal. Edava and Nadayara lakes lie partly in this district.

The district has a tropical and humid climate, with an oppressive summer and plentiful seasonal rainfall. The summer season, from March to May, is followed by the south west monsoon from June to September.

Tourist attractions of Kollam

Kollam was once an international emporium of trade and even today it is a prosperous commercial center. Kollam is located on the edge of the famous Astamudi. Kollam was one of the early centers of Christian activity in Kerala. The popularity of Kollam has been established by the time-honored proverb once you see Kollam; you will not need your home any more.

The Thangassery Light house, built in 1902, is a great center of attraction in Kollam. The Ananda Valleeswaram Temple of Kollam attracts people on almost all days. There are several Churches and Mosques around Kollam. The Pullichira Church was established in 1700 A.D. One of the oldest and most important Mosques in Kollam is the Chinnakkada Palli.

Mahatma Gandhi beach and park at Kochupilamoodu, Thirumullavaram beach and Ashramam picnic village, are some of the important spots of local sight seeing in kollam. Mahatma Gandhi beach lays just 2 km from Kollam. It is fascinating place for an evening walk. Thirumullavaram Beach is 5 km from Kollam. The sea here is ideal for swimming and bathing.

Kollam stands along Ashtamudi Lake and it is a major attraction. The children's Traffic and Entertainment Park, designed by NATPAC, is also worth visiting in Kollam. It is the largest traffic park in Kerala. The Adventure Park, located in Kollam village along the shores of the Astamudi backwaters, is also an exciting place to be at.

Superbkids Camp in August 2009

An Onam after 3 years

I am at Home for this Onam this is my first onam after my Dad's demise !! I still remember the Onam that i celebrated with him !! it was amazing all of us were there ... He was primarily pushing for my marriage and i was not ready for it .... He took me to see a girl and i outrightly rejected it not because i didn't like the girl its because i was not ready -( i did later applogized to her) But My dad took it very badly and he made statement that he will never interfere into my life !!! Later in Novemeber too he made the same statement !! I miss you Achaa...

After his death my house had become very silent and my mom was never ready to come out of the shell that she created for herself and this time i am going to make it sure that i am there for onam and make sure that past is not equal to future !! I am so excited to go for Onam this time... I am very sure that my mom is excited too and she should have lined up atleast 3 to 4 girls to see !! ( that's my mother) My 4 year old Nephew is excited too as i am getting him spiderman accessories in the form of bags, tiffin box, water bottle's , Pens, Pencil ... its certainly an expensive visit but a worthy one - Nothing can be compared to the happiness that i see in my Amma and Sister --- Kollam i am coming !!

How complicated a Relation is

I give a lot of value and respect to my passion for coaching young children - One of my last camps in UAE i had to come up with two different Kids, one was boy and another a girl !! The Boy that i had to coach had a prejudice against anyone, that they are wrong and only his points are right and always had a negative approach to each and everything that he approaches. He was creating a negative vibe with in the team .... I was ready for him for the 3rd day but the nature ditched me as the boy fell sick from the 3rd day and he discontinued the course from there !! Boy ! i am waiting for you for the upcoming camp in December - You have a bright future and you need to realize that !! and its my Job to do the same !!

Second Instance was a girl - She was such an introvert - who never speaks up and with low energy ! the girl was having a such a low self esteem- I was scared with the attitude that she got because i was thinking where will it take her ? I had a discussion with her mother and i realized that what the family issue is ! Her father was never at home and the relation that he had with her Mother was not at all encouraging !! When i heard that from her mother it was a shock for me and a realization that there are guys like this in this God damn world !! After that meeting i made up my mind that i am going to instrumental in changing this kid's life and i took it as a challenge that i will make her face a crowd of 400 on the last day !! At the end of the program she did go to the stage to give a feedback and she declared to the whole world how precious her Mother is and she also proclaimed that " Mom i will be there for you and you are my inspiration" it was such an inspiring feedback ....

(But Complicated relations like this can certainly make an impact on the children !! Parents have to be really careful when things like this comes up and the impact that could affect your child can be negative and then there is no point is saying that my child shouts at me !! He or she doesn't respect me !! I am not sure what to do with my child !! Mind it everything starts at home !)

These incidents gives me the courage and the mental stability to reach more and more people and re affirms that fact i can make a person powerful !! " Everyday & Every way i am becoming better and better -
Proud to be a coach !!

My IPhone Experience

Not long ago we had a camp in December 2008 and in that camp there were 7 kids from a single family and what i have noticed in them is that all of them had an I Phone for themselves.. i was amazed not surprised because its DUBAI and its money all the way !!

that's the first time i had a feeling that i should also go for an i-Phone and i was planning the financial stability that i need to have to buy one... I also remember the time when i saw my first Ipod in my life and that was in the year 2003 and it was with one of my American Friend and that's when i developed a liking towards it and at that time i was having a Disc Man -- 4 Years i worked in Infosys and still i didn't made up my mind to buy one though i was keeping myself updated on it !! And then the year 2009 came and being Dubai i made up my mind that i should go for it and i bought a two in one a Phone and a Ipod- IPhone !!! That's a priced possession of mine !! And i am loving my experience !!

For People it might find crazy !! But when you dream about getting something no matter how small or Big is it , and when you get it the feeling is just tremendous !!

Three Famous Malayalam Movie Personalities

In matter of 45 days Malayalam Movie Industry lost 3 important or prolific artists, the first one to leave was Writer/Director/Actor A.K Lohithadas he had given a lot to malayalam movie buffs the scripts that he had written will always remain in all the movie lovers mind.

Second one to leave was Actor/Director Rajan P Dev. He was versatile actor when it comes to Comedy or negative roles, he had taken the villain roles to a new dimension where the audience started looking in a different angle... hea has left many memorable characters for his fans to stay alive in his mind.

and the last one to leave was Actor Murali... he had won many awards for best acting... I would term his the dialogue specialist !! the expression that he had given for each every charcater was tremendous !! All the characters were different from each other !!

these three deaths are true loss to the entire malayalam industry !

May god bless their Souls and they rest in peace !!

Abu Dhabi SK Camp

After coming to UAE , i have finished 9 Camps and i have coached 7 times and the Camp in July 2009 at Abu Dhabi is rated as the best and it was my tenth SKST camp in UAE. In all ways it was different , as it was for a smaller group.. there were 36 Kids inside the halls and each and everyone was good in their own field ... For the first time i saw a group of obedient kids for the camp and for the 3rd day me and my fellow coaches were cracking our head to find the right point whcih could addressed for TTP.. The TTP that was for a girl in my team is still fresh in my memories !! Niramala did a fantastic job to break her and make her open up with the challenges that she was facing !! It was a shock for me and a realisation on how kids are brought up in this part of the worl. Abu dhabi camp was in anyway an awesome camp, great energy from the coaches as well the participants... this camp has given me the confidence to do a bigger camp in Abu dhabi with a greater crowd. !!
