Pandit Shri Shri Gopalakrishna Swamigal's Chennai Visit

My friend as well as Pandit Mr. Shri Shri Goplakrishna Swamigal's last week came to Chennai for an important visit and on getting sometime away from his hectic schedule, Swamigal has decided to spend sometime with his patron i.e. Me. Swamigal came to visit me on a fine Sunday evening and we have decided to visit beach since contemporary Swamigal's are more inclined towards particular object which are present abundant in beach.

We went to visit Marina Beach and visited great leaders tombs namely 'Anna Samathi' - One of great dravidian movement leader and founder of great Southern India party D.M.K/Dravida Munnerta Kalagam/Dravidian Improvement Party namely Anna Durai, 'M.G.R Samathi' - Actor turned politician and one of India's popular leader who also has India's most covetous highest civilian peace time award Bharat Ratna/Indian Gem namely M.G. Ramachandran.

Later Swamigal, his aide and myself went to rest aside the beach shores to play with the tides and he worried for not being at beach side during the Tsunami which otherwise according to him, his powers would have turned the waves upside down and making the sea go back miles inside instead of coming into land mass that has caused huge human/property loses. I request honorable Indian Central Science and Technology Minister to make use of his service and put him at the center of the sea for destroying the problem completely instead of installing electronic buoyant's just to give early warnings.

After all this conversations, we were at the sands having good conversation and side-by-side looking around funnily, cunningly, ferociously to make sure Chennai's parents keep their esteem at high levels by keeping their fully grown kids from doing wrong things @ beach. Oops what a satisfaction after doing a great social work of this nature.

As always its time to check out the pictures I took around the setup I just describing,

On a Great occasion... First time ever Karthikeyan R has came under the camera lens wearing spectacle.... This picture is an unique treasure to safeguard... It's like once in a lifetime opportunity for historians/'auctions houses' to collect the rare picture so that they can sell it after 100-200 years since by that world would be calling me a great human this mankind has ever seen...


Really brave and hard working people...


How waves got the white color? Any reason? Any answers?

Hmm... Hope this wont get bigger...


Excellent view of Marina Beach Light House and full moon view with that...

Sify Fungama's "Sunday Funday" @ MGM Resort

Last Sunday for Sify Associates & their family members it was a complete Funday. Yes, long awaited Sify's Fungama party was held last Sunday amidst huge expectation. Venue has been fixed as MGM Resorts @ ECR, Chennai. Multiple bus operators have been roped in to provide safe/comfortable journey to/from the venue from different parts of Chennai and nearly 70 buses I guess had been put into service by the operators. As planned people have started pouring into the venue around 3PM. People got into party mood after around the venue seeing action packed stalls at different places. Few stalls to say are the registration for Super Lotto Draw, Lucky Draw, Bull's Eye, Karla Kattai, Skipping Challenge, Kiss the Miss etc,. You can play in any of the stalls and win tokens which can be redeemed immediately for a superb goody item of your choice among the pool.

@4.30 the main action has been kick started by announcing the Super Lotto winners which was followed by whole lot of individual events and family events which are well received among the family members. The compering was done by a popular TV host and events were judged by another popular TV personality 'Badava' Gopi, his wife and another one guy - couldn't remember the name. It was really a fantastic singing show performed by Sify Associates and amazed at thier level of perfection. Excellent show friends, Keep it up. And came the sizzling Fashion Show done by Sify Associates and biggest highlight was the participation by our CTO as one among other contenders. It was very different experience to see him going around the stage doing cat walk compared to the days he talking formal, walking formal and speaking formal as in Rajini's fashion.

And the food was just WOW... Fantastically arranged to cope up the mind blogging head counts... All kudos to all people who made that day a remarkable one...

Few clicks of show now,


It all started @ this point...


Array of colorful stalls...


People there were like butterflies around the flower... Buzzing around all the time..

World's Oldest Employee - 101 Year Old - Preparing 4 Marathon



Already Britain's oldest employee, 101-year-old Buster Martin now aims to become the world's oldest marathon runner by completing the London Marathon and celebrating with a pint of beer and a cigarette.

Sprightly and bearded, he completed a half marathon at the weekend in five hours 13 minutes. The former Army physical training instructor works three days a week for a London plumbing firm and says he has trained for the April 13th race in his spare time.

"I've said I'll attempt it," he told Reuters by telephone from his workplace at Pimlico Plumbers. "I haven't said I'll complete it. If I do make it, all the better. I hadn't thought of doing it before but someone asked me and the money goes to charity so why not?"

His sponsorship money will go to the Rhys Daniels Trust, which provides temporary accommodation for families of patients in specialist children's hospitals.

Martin, who had 17 children and returned to work at the age of 99 saying he was bored after two years of retirement, would beat the previous record for world's oldest marathon runner by eight years.

"If I finish, I'll do what I always do and have a pint and a fag," he said. "People ask what is my secret but I haven't got one. They say fags and booze are bad for you -- but I'm still here, aren't I?"

INHERITANCE

Greetings to you in the name of God Almighty. I am former Mrs. Victoria A. Saleh, a widow to Late Muhammad A Saleh.

I am an old woman, suffering from cancer. From all indications, my condition is really deteriorating and is quite obvious that I may not live long, because the cancer stage has gotten to a very severe stage.

My late husband died in an air crash on the 31st October 1999 in an Egyptian airline Boeing 990 with other passengers on board. You can confirm this fact from the website which was aired by the BBC WORLD NEWS (http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/americas/502503.stm) and my only daughter died in BOMB ATTACK LONDON.

My late husband was very wealthy and after his death, I inherited all his business and wealth. My personal physician told me that I may not live for so long and I am so scared about this. So, I now decided to divide part of this wealth, by contributing to the well being of less privileged people and handicapped in the society of world America, Canada, Africa, Europe and Asian Countries.

This mission, who will no doubt be tasking had made me to recently relocate to Europe where I live presently. I selected you forthis Purpose and prayed over it, I am willing to donate the sum of $7,300,000.00 Million US Dollars to you for the development of thewell being handicaped in the society and also as aids for the less privileged around your country, and i have map out $1,700.000.00 foryour personal use in this work.

Please note that, this fund is lying in a Security Bank. I will forward to you the application of claim for the transfer of the money in your name or your home. Please, do not reply me if you have the intention of using this fund for personal use, than enhancement of the comfort of the Handicapped.

Forward to me your full contact thus:

Your full name:
Your full address:
Your telephone number:
Your fax Number:
Your full company name:
Your age:

Lastly, I want you/your home to be praying for me as regards my entire life and my health because I have come to find out since my spiritual birth lately that wealth acquisition without God one's life is vanity upon vanity.

Please reply to my private email : vic.saleh2007@yahoo.com.hk

I await your reply.

MRS Victoria A. Saleh.

I'm very pained at your life story Mrs. Victoria A. Saleh. May god bless your ill fated Daughter and Husband's soul. I decided to spend money as you wish. So please make the transaction ASAP. I'm eagerly waiting for my mobile SMS alert from ICICI Bank. Thanks a lot(?!?)

I Own Company! Dr. Dagogo Douglas Says

Many would be breaking their heads to climb up the ladder of success in their life by doing different things and one among them is dream of starting own company. Dr. Dagogo Douglas has made the job easy for me. How? Read this mail he wrote form an unknown location,

Attention: Beneficiary,


RE:ENQUIRY ON CONTRACT PAYMENT

I am directed by the Minister of Finance Mrs Nenadi Usman to make this urgent enquiry regarding your payment.

This is sequel to a letter and other documents received from an Indian Company claiming to be a subsidiary of your Company and applying for your contract sum to be paid into a new Bank Account.

This enquiry became necessary because two gentlemen, one Indian and a Nigerian visited the Bank and filed application to change the original account to HongKong & Shangai Banking Corporation.They succeeded in effecting the change by conniving with some officials who they offered large sum of money and also paid the statutory charges. Unknown to the CBN Governor, the transfer was endorsed by him and minuted to the Director of International Remittance to effect the transfer of the money.

Fortunately, that department spotted certain irregularities in the payment instruction and forwarded the file to us for vetting. We have discovered in the course of our investigation that the application for the change of account was not accompained with a formal letter of authority from your Company nor a power of attorney to that effect as it is officially required. This necessitated our suspending further action in the payment pending your confirmation.

We have also discovered that attempts were made by these men with extra-ordinary flay? to bribe officials of the department to ignore or overlook the inaccurate documentation and effect quick transfer of the money.

We invited the two gentlemen for a discussion and they alleged that they were your representative. But when asked to produce a letter of? authority signed by you, they promised? to produce it, they left and have not returned since then. We are however expecting them but we decided to contact you directly for confirmation.?

If infact they are your representatives kindly confirm same via email and send the required letter of authority. We shall be in a position to ascertain the payment and cause the remittance to be effected immediately upon the receipt of this confirmation.

NOTE: Your confirmation should reach this office within 7 banking days from the receipt of this message otherwise, it will be presumed that the change has received your consent. Contact us through our private email address: dagogodouglas@jmail.co.za

Yours sincerely

Dr.Dagogo Douglas,


Thank you Dr.Dagogo Douglas for putting me at this esteemed position. May god bless you and your accomplices(?!?)

Getting Done Two Things By One? Be In Queue

One fine morning a man was leaving a cafe after his morning coffee, when he Noticed a most unusual funeral procession

A funeral coffin was followed by a second one about 50 feet behind the first.

Behind the second coffin was a solitary man walking with a black dog.
Behind him was a queue of about 2000 men walking in a single line.
The man couldn't stand his curiosity.

He approached the man walking with the dog,
"I am so sorry for your loss, and I know now is a bad time to disturb you,
but I've never seen a funeral like this with so many of you walking in single line. Whose funeral is it? "

The man replied,
"Well, that first coffin is for my wife."

"What happened to her? "
The man replied, "My dog attacked and killed her."

He inquired further, "Well, who is in the second coffin?"
The man answered, "My mother-in-law. She was trying to help my wife when the dog attacked and killed her also. "

A thoughtful moment of silence passes between the two men.
Then the first one asks in excitement "Can I borrow the dog?"
