Contribution of my Sister Part II

A Story all must know :

Once upon a time.... There was a rich King who had 4 wives.
He loved the 4th wife the most and adorned her with rich robes and treated her to the finest of delicacies. He gave her nothing but the best.
He also loved the 3rd wife very much and was always showing her off to neighboring kingdoms. However, he feared that one day she would leave him for another.
He also loved his 2nd wife. She was his confidante and was always kind, considerate and patient with him. Whenever the King faced a problem, he could confide in her to help him get through the difficult times.
The King's 1st wife was a very loyal partner and had made great contributions in maintaining his wealth and kingdom. However, he did not love the first wife and although she loved him deeply, he hardly took notice of her.

One day, the King fell ill and he knew his time was short. He thought of his luxurious life and pondered, "I now have 4 wives with me, but when I die, I'll be all alone.
Thus, he asked the 4th wife, "I have loved you the most, endowed you with the finest clothing and showered great care over you. Now that I'm dying, will you follow me and keep me company?"
"No way!" replied the 4th wife and she walked away without another word.
Her answer cut like a sharp knife right into his heart.
The sad King then asked the 3rd wife, "I have loved you all my life. Now that I'm dying, will you follow me and keep me company?"
"No!" replied the 3rd wife. "Life is too good! When you die, I'm going to remarry!" His heart sank and turned cold.
He then asked the 2nd wife, "I have always turned to you for help and you've always been there for me. When I die, will you follow me? And keep me company?"
"I'm sorry, I can't help you out this time!" replied the 2nd wife. "At the very most, I can only send you to your grave."
Her answer came like a bolt of thunder and the King was devastated.

Then a voice called out: "I'll live with you and follow you no matter where you go."

The King looked up and there was his first wife. She was so skinny, she suffered from malnutrition.
Greatly grieved, the King said, "I should have taken much better care of you when I had the chance!"

In Truth, we all have 4 wives in our lives ...

Our 4th wife is our body. No matter how much time and effort we lavish in making it look good, it'll leave us when we die.
Our 3rd wife is our possessions, status and wealth. When we die, it will all go to others.
Our 2nd wife is our friends. No matter how much they have been there for us, the furthest they can stay by us is up to the grave.
And our 1st wife is our Parents , Often neglected in pursuit of wealth, power and pleasures of the ego. However, our Parents are the only thing that will follow us and guide wherever we go.

So Love them at our best ..... They need and Love you most!!! You are their greatest gift Let them Smile and cherish...

3 Years of Ghastly Incident



26.12.2004... The dreadly day when Tsunami struck in the Bay of Bengal and I was at Gangavaram Beach with my parents and relatives enjoying the beach and I had a personal exeperience and I witnessed the total episode...

Suddenly the Beach receeded itself at around 13:45 and we were on the top of the Hillock which had the Madhava temple.

Suddenly waves receeded and there was a furore towards the other end of the beach. We reached out on the area which has been termed as MOST DANGEROUS PLACE during normal times, I was on a rock, thinking what might have been around.... Suddenly,a dumb person from nowhere pulled me down the rock and was screeming aloud, I did not get his intention but I as a pre-cautionary measure followed him, within a half an hour time, the dumb person cleared all the people and was not seen anywhere after that.

In the evening , I saw the Headlines "TSUNAMI STRUCK THE BAY".

Even today, I thank Lord Venkatesha... Who knows may be that person was Lord himself.

VALUE HAS A VALUE ONLY IF ITS VALUE IS VALUED

A well-known speaker started off his seminar by holding up a Rupee 500 note.
In the room of 200, he asked, "Who would like this Rupee 500 note?"
Hands started going up. He said, "I am going to give this note to one of you
but first let me do this." He proceeded to crumple the note up.
He then asked, "Who still wants it?" Still the hands were up in the air.
"Well," he replied, "What if I do this?" And he dropped it on the ground and started to grind it into the floor with his shoe. He picked it up, now all crumpled and dirty. "Now who still wants it?" Still the hands went into the air.
"My friends, you have all learned a very valuable lesson. No matter what I did to the money, you still wanted it because it did not decrease in value. It was still worth Rupee 500/-.

Many times in our lives, we are dropped, crumpled, and ground into the dirt by the decisions we make and the circumstances that come our way. We feel as though we are worthless. But no matter what has happened or what will happen, you will never lose your value.

You are special. Don't ever forget it! Never let yesterday's disappointments overshadow tomorrow's dreams.

Extracts from my Handbook


In Early days, man used various sounds, signs and gestures to convey information to his fellow mates; like whenever he wanted to caution them of the danger he would burn small twigs and made others alert. This was the past way of communication when even the traditional communication system was not evolved.
Then came another era of efficient communication for deaf and dumb people using sign languages he could make notions and simple gestures, and then came the Braille Script that made the blind people to communicate among them effectively. Man’s search for effectiveness in communication did not end here; Sir Samuel Morse was one of the great personalities who used two simple symbols DOT (.) and DASH (-) as primary elements of wired communication long before the advent of voice telephony.
The sky was not the limit of communication when Sir G Marconi experimented with a wireless set or a radio device to send messages effectively up to a distance of 10 meters.
The first prototype of the telephonic device which Sir Alexander Graham Bell used was a simple wired receiver with copper wires surrounded with a loudspeaker and microphone, Strowger switches were one another type which was purely mechanical and was prone to corrosion and it needed lot of maintenance costs for greasing the mechanical parts such as the worms, cog wheels ignoring which led to the problem of stuck up of the calls. Later new generation came of new generation came of rotating disk type dialer telephones which were regarded as the first device to send pulses using MAKE ‘N’ BREAK Analogy and each of such pulses of certain amplitude and time-period were made to converge at a dispatcher unit which had an operator who would connect to commence a call and disconnect to hang up the call according to the light bulbs that were glowing at his console panel, this was quite a laborious task since every time the operator was to be linked first to either make or hang the call. The newer version called as Push button type telephony had two options i.e. the person could make use of Pulse dialing or Tone Dialing: The main difference was for pulse dialing each number generated a sequence of clock pulses from a clock generator at the exchange and each of these are sent and in tone dialing one uses two frequencies which associate a single number called as Dual Tone Multiple Frequency has a tone generator.

The advent of Pushbutton telephony led to the existence of Electronic Exchanges that used the switching done in the range of microseconds and were much reliable and were made all electronic so the power consumption was also less when compared to the old model; The newer exchanges require -48 Volts as operation voltage and have sufficient battery banks which are charged to the full extent so that it will be breathing life into the exchange when power fails.
Introduction of ISDN (Integrated Services Digital Network) led to the usage of CLIP (Caller Line Indication Presenter) so that the receiver end will have a glimpse of the number, which the other party is calling.
The Age of Wireless communication began and mobile radios called Walkie-Talkies were made into use which was the first transceiver unit ever made later Paging units were manufactured which were used to send messages wirelessly. The cellular mobiles came into usage in 1989; these units used microwave frequencies for transmission and reception of voice, text (SMS).
The difference: WT Units had a short range 40-80 meters had a small transceiver unit with low power and frequency of operation but CM has a longer range since it operates in GHz frequencies, The Cellular Mobile has many cell-sites which include Mobile Switching Center (MSC) which was hexagonal in shape which constituted a Cellular Tower, Cable Hut, Mobile Handset, SIM Card (In case of GSM).
Color mobiles came in the year 2000 with MMS features, GPRS, EDGE, which help in downloading of Polyphonic Ring tones, Animations, Wall papers, e-Tunes, WAP Services led to Internet on mobile handsets; Integrated 3D Surround & Woofer effects in the newer mobiles led to the downloading of music possible and Integrated Cameras with 2x 3x 5x 10x digital zooms and 2x Carl Zeiss lens cameras are used to capture and shoot the events on a SD Memory card of 64,128,256,512,1024Mbytes of capacity. NOKIA’s famous phones include NOKIA 6600, NOKIA 6681, NOKIA 6680, NOKIA 9300, NOKIA 7610 and NOKIA N Series phones like NOKIA N70, NOKIA N73, NOKIA N90, NOKIA N91, NOKIA N9500, NOKIA N93 phones are the multimedia phones; MOTOROLA has MOTORAZR V Pink the slimmest mobile, MOTOPEBBL the smoothest mobile in the lead today, SONY ERICCSON has its new WALKMAN Mobile, LG has P7200 swivel phone.Networks like RELIANCE and TATA INDICOM for higher data rates use CDMA Mobiles. Some mobiles use infrared and BLUETOOTH® technologies to have connection from PC to Mobile or vise-versa having good baud rates. RFID also improves data security among phones and PCs too. The leading companies in the production of latest mobiles include:
NOKIA, SONY Ericsson, LG, SAMSUNG, Motorola and the network cards called as SIM cards are basically used to differentiate one GSM connection with the other and the leading providers include Airtel, Hutch/Vodafone, Cell One, Reliance, Tata Indicom, and Idea. These basically use a modulator and de-modulator working at microwave frequencies that are basically harmful when conversing on mobile hence to stop such a hazard these phones are given hands-free headset for easy communication. The Software which rules the modern cellular mobiles include Black berry, Symbian software; Some of the advanced mobiles use Windows Mobile version of software which are quite compatible with ease of transfer of data and is also easy to synchronize a PC with Mobile.

Internet Banking, Online encashment, Online booking all of these are possible now as some of these cellular mobiles are using PDA features and have their concerned APIN/ID of the customer directly using GPRS utility so it is quite possible for one to use the phones for banking also.

The N91 series of NOKIA has an in-built 4GB Hard-disk drive to store 2500-3000 songs or based on the capacity of the phone, some of them are having a colorful look and some are sleek and slender and slimmer but they provide us with the required facilities. Sony Walkman Series phone has got a 4W Bass for listening to the MP3 songs and enjoy a lot. What more the era of communicating changed significantly over years of its evolution.

Wave of Hope




It was a wave... Wow! I thought was majestic
I was on a ship which sailed off,
Suddenly I encountered a mishap and lo
the ship wrecked into parts floating furlongs

I fell apart in the wavy tide
which swept me far and wide
suddenly I saw another ship
which made me new to your friendship

Sridhar

Theory of Love...A Tongue-twister by Sri

Never love Love,till Love loves you
Love loves you if you hate Hate and
Love hates you if you hate Love so,
Never hate Love till Love hates you
hate Hate to love Love or
love Hate to hate Love

As Love is hated by girls and
Hate is loved by girls.
Love hates girls till Girls love Love
Girls love Love if they hate Hate

Love loves to live with them who hate Hate
Love hates to live with them who hate Love
loving Love is hating Hate and hating Love is loving Hate

By the way are you loving Hate or hating Love?

Happy Days Song

పాదమేటుపోతున్న, పయనమెందాకైన;
అడుగు తడబడుతున్న, తోడురానా;
చిన్ని ఎడబాటైన,కంట తడి పెడుతున్నా;
గుండె ప్రతి లయ లోన నేను లేన;
ఒంటరైన, ఓటమైన;
వెంట నడిచే నీడ వేనా;

.ఓఓఓఓ మై ఫ్రెండ్;
తడి కన్నులనే తుడిచిన నేస్తామ;
..ఓఓఓఓ మై ఫ్రెండ్;
ఓడి దుడుకులలో నిలిచిన స్నేహమా;

అమ్మ ఒడిలో లేని పాశం;నేస్తామల్లె అల్లుకుందీ..;
జన్మకంతా తీరిపోనీ;మమతలెన్నో పంచుతొందే;
'మీరు','మీరు' నుంచి మన స్నేహ గీతం;
'ఏరా' , 'ఏరా' లొకే మారే;
మొహమాటలే లేని కాళే జాలువారే;

ఒంటరైన,ఓటమైన;
వెంట నడిచే నీడ నీవే;

వాన వస్తే కాగితాలే పడవాలయ్యే జ్ఞాపకాలే;
నిన్ను చూస్తే చిన్ననాటి చేతలన్ని చెంత వాలే;
గిళ్లీకజ్జాలెన్నో ఇలా పెంచుకుంటూ తుళ్ళీంతల్లో తేలే స్నేహం;
మొదలు,తుదలు తెలిపే ముడి వీడకున్దే;


In Memory of MY LOST FRIENDSHIP

Thinking of You...



ऐसा होते कभी सोचा भी नहीं कि तुम फिर आई

और मेरे मन की हलचल बदल गई


सोता तो सपने तुम्हारी ही आती है

अब कहने को मन करता है लेकिन न जानेशब्द नहीं है


तुम्हें कि तुमने मुझे सताया है

प्यार तुम भी करती थी ये न मुझे बताया है

New Age of Transport... Behold...!





















Choosaara.... Aithe Pandaga Cheskondi

Some Great Thoughts we all should follow

  • Don't compare yourself with any one in this world.
    If you compare, you are insulting yourself.
  • Don't complain about others;
    change yourself if you want peace.
  • It is easier to protect your feet with slippers than
    to cover the earth with carpet.
  • No one can go back and change a bad beginning,
    but anyone can start now and create a successful ending.
  • Easy is to judge the mistakes of others.
    Difficult is to recognize our own mistakes.
  • If a problem can be solved, no need to worry about it.
    If a problem cannot be solved what is the use of worrying?
  • 'Changing the Face' can change nothing.
    But 'Facing the Change' can change everything.
  • Be bold when you loose
    and be calm when you win.
  • No one will manufacture a lock without a key.
    Trust that God created solutions for all problems we meet.
  • Every successful person has a painful story.
    Every painful story has a successful ending.
    Accept the pain and get ready for success.
  • Heated gold becomes ornament. Beaten copper becomes wires. Depleted stone becomes statue.
    So the more pain you get in life you become more valuable.
  • Mistakes are painful when they happen.
    But year's later collection of mistakes is called experience, which leads to success.
  • Life laughs at you when you are unhappy...
    Life smiles at you when you are happy...
    Life salutes you when you make others happy...
  • If you miss an opportunity don't fill your eyes with tears.
    Tears may hide another better opportunity in front of you.
  • If you keep doing what you have always done, you will keep getting what you have always gotten. For things to change, you have to change. For things to get better, you have to get better.

Have you ever seen inside the Cockpit of the Plane?

Despair Poetry

I have been telling my every poem
how cute you are.
But now I am ashamed to tell them
you are disrespectful to me, my love, and every poem I have written so far.
I don't want them to think
I am a liar
I am not
It was you
who set my heart on fire.

మాయమ్మా మహలక్ష్మీ

మముగన్న మాయమ్మా మహలక్ష్మీవే

About Vizag


Courtesy of : WIKIPEDIA


From being a small fishing village in the nineteenth century, Vizag has grown into an industrial hub. Its saga began with the quest of British to find a suitable port that connects the rich mineral belt of Central provinces with the East Coast. Unlike western coast of India, East Coast have few undulations to form a natural harbour. Their quest for finding out a harbour ended with Vizag. Vizag is the most protected natural harbour in India. They started building a harbour in 1927 and in 1933 it was opened to traffic. One more important milestone is setting up of Scindia Steam Navigation Co. later known as Hindustan Shipyard Ltd in 1940. With the construction of KK line connecting iron ore mines of Biladila in MP (present day Chattisgarh) its importance grew. In 1950s and 1960s Government and private sector setting up some largescale Basic industries like Bharat Heavy Plates and Vessels (BHPV), Hindustan Zinc Ltd., Caltex oil refinery (later acquired by Government as HPCL), Coramandel fertilizers, Andhra Polymers (Now LG Polymers), etc. 1600s saw a major development with the setting up of Vizag steelVizag Steel and other major industries. Economic liberalization in the 1990s brought a modest growth to the city but not as much as it did to the state capital, Hyderabad. However, some industries sprang up like Rain calclining Ltd., Expansion of HPCL, Setting up of Vizag Export Processing zone, Simhadri Thermal Power plant of NTPC, etc. The urban sprawl that characterizes other major cities has yet to be seen in Vizag.This is the view of Beach from Titanic Point atop Kailasa Hill.Due to the presence of Eastern Naval Command, Steel Plant, HPCL, the city has been the home to people from different parts of the country and due to this the city has a cosmopolitan texture to it.

The Legend of Venkateshwara Swamy





Sri Venkatachala Mahatmya is referred to in several Puranas, of which the most important are the Varaha Purana and the Bhavishyottara Purana.
The printed work contains extracts from the Varaha Purana, Padma Purana, Garuda Purana, Brahmanda Purana, Markandeya Purana, Harivamsa, Vamana Purana, Brahma Purana, Brahmottara Purana, Aditya Purana, Skanda Purana and Bhavishyottara Purana. Most of these extracts describe the sanctity and antiquity of the hills around Tirumala and the numerous teerthams situated on them.
The legends taken from the Venkatachala Mahatmya and the Varaha Purana, pertaining to the manifestation of the Lord at Tirumala, are of particular interest.
According to the Varaha Purana, Adi Varaha manifested Himself on the western bank of the Swami Pushkarini, while Vishnu in the form of Venkateswara came to reside on the southern bank of the Swami Pushkarini.
One day, Rangadasa, a staunch devotee of Vishnu, in the course of his pilgrimage, joined Vaikhanasa Gopinatha, who was going up the Tirumala Hill for the daily worship of Lord Venkateswara. After bathing in the Swami Pushkarini, he beheld the lotus-eyed and blue-bodied Vishnu beneath a tamarind tree. Vishnu was exposed to the sun, wind and rain and was only protected by the extended wings of Garuda.
Rangadasa was astounded by the wonderful sight. He raised a rough wall of stones around the deity, and started supplying flowers faithfully to Gopinatha everyday for Vishnu's worship.
One day, Rangadasa was distracted by a Gandharva king and his ladies. Consequently, he forgot to supply flowers to Gopinatha for Vishnu's worship. The Lord then revealed Himself and told Rangadasa that He had been testing the latter's continence, but Rangadasa had not been steadfast and had succumbed to temptation.
However, the Lord accepted and appreciated Rangadasa's devoted service to Him till then, and blessed Rangadasa that he would be reborn as an affluent ruler of a province and would enjoy the earthly pleasures. He would continue to serve the Lord, construct a beautiful temple with a vimana and high surrounding walls, and thereby earn eternal glory.
Rangadasa was reborn as Tondaman, the son of the royal couple, Suvira and Nandini. Tondaman enjoyed a pleasurable life as a young man. One day, he set out on a hunting expedition on the Tirumala Hill, and with the help of a forester, saw Vishnu under the tamarind tree. Tondaman returned home, deeply affected by the vision of Vishnu.
Tondaman later inherited his father's kingdom, Tondamandalam. In accordance with the directions given by Adi Varaha to a forester, Tondaman constructed a prakaram and dvara gopura, and arranged for regular worship of the Lord (according to Vaikhanasa Agama).
In the Kali Yuga, Akasaraja came to rule over Tondamandalam. His daughter Padmavathi was married to Venkateswara. The marriage, officiated by Brahma, was celebrated with great pomp and splendour.
