Celebrating 12 years of friendship...

 

" Its was ganesh wedding :) ---We call him ponam[dead body]...wonderful treat from him..went to thirunelveli for his marriage on aug21..well planned trip few months before..

its so happend that aug 20 we all were together - the day aug 1998 we met each other :)..after 12 years we struck to each other..

our bondage was formed in the train we travelled to the college each day..when we went by the same..there was so much care and concern ..felt so warm from the professional trip..before we came to station poriki had brought water for everyone and dosa just in case someone didnt have time to eat dinner..another warm thing we went dry of water ...in pairs most got down of train to water for each other around 12.30 in the night..so much lil lil things that makes friends special..

special thanks must go to ganesh for getting married !!!..remember we are love to be singles-free birds [by fate :) !]..so good guy that he brought us travel tickets :)hahaha...

Aug 20 :  we land in the destination fortunately this time no problems finding our cab:)...ganesh is present ..we realize that the most of tht train passengers were "ponam" friends..we land in the  hotel..decide to leave to courtalam falls..before there was our famous fight over "thairu vadai" ..this time kirba wins steals poor gangai and karthi ...they look at the skies as though lil elephants were stolen of the grass..

sudden change in plan..courtalam falls crowded..i suggest agastiar falls and papanasam dam from my 2003 CSIO trip..lost the chance to play in this falls..so we go there...boating we are too late..decide to be in falls full time..like the sivanasudram falls there is small water due to falls..we swim..spent most time under the falls ..wonderful feeling..partner becomes a brave lion ! takes a dip..hahaha!..

my romance with waterfalls continues..

we return..what next..movie ?..yes! on the way book karthi movie "me not mahaan"..have a nap come back watch it..next a warm thing for me..i love roof top dining with a small garden :)..luckily all we needed was to climb up a floor..there it is :)..live music..we wish a unknown couple on their 60th age-marriage celebration..good feeling wishing them..they were happy :)..

 we sleep..

 

Aug 21 :.

Luckily wedding was lil late in the day  ..so cld sleep more..we went there..sat..found a girl for karthi :)..it was my duty and poriki's to kidnap the girl for karthi marriage.. karthi was too shy had eaten banana for strength bt cldnt tell his love :)..so the love story stands there ! :)..hahah..good time..good food..we return to hotel..sleep again..

we had time to visit a famous temple..its very rarely spiritual i am connected..rarely visit temple as well..it was glorious..musical pillar of rock built 2000 yrs ago..artistic works..the whole vibration was so strong left me speechless..i might make a pilgrimage to the place..

make to the station on time..sit in the train ..we tease the ticket checking officer and gangai..as he pulls out driver licence for proof and its completely fade..we yell its fake !..checker says okay...gangai gets a lil nervous..we keep telling the checker its fake :)!!..have a good laugh..we invent a fighting game with the chain that hold the middle berth..play in the late night..guards check with a eye ..are these guys anti social ?...

we see them with a child's playful eyes..the conversations ends !

we return home :)..celebrating 12years and gani marriage ..

Love,

Veerabahu

Picnic Drive :)

   It had be a long time since we went for a drive - I and prasanna..after the trip for sivasumdram falls 

http://veerabahu5.blogspot.com/2008_03_01_archive.html

He had wanted to go to poondi ..the place where he spent most of his childhood.. his green memories a child when he explored the dense trees and plants present there..his lil adventure gang:)..i didnt know much about the place..

its quite a surprise so close to the city around 1.30 hrs from it..yet most ppl dont visit..it was pleasant day luckily..and present drive to the place..saw the dam..it was good ! :)

..there was strip of road around 2km..rite on the wall of dam..sucha a enjoyable drive watching the big dam..birds flying around.. then we went for a lil exploration...the place looked as though it was untouched by humans !...

then we found a good place to swim..:)..good time..we decide to pack up..

it was short trip..maybe 4 to 5 hrs totally..but it a sweet one ! :)

Stillness...

                                                        Courtesy  :www.deepcut.com
 " It was a breezy day
         ..if only i realized it was so..

with disturbed and confused mind..
    ..sat i watching through the window

flaming dust coming for the roads
  ..still disturbing noise from cars passing by..

..quarrel on the road...rage of words flowing across..
   ..is this the beautiful life i wished for ? ..

for a moment,I took a deep breath..
  ..slowed down the breath..

..stillness..
  ..stillness..

started to see things that i never saw before..
  ...closer to the road was the tree dancing with the breeze..

..touch of the rain..wetness in the air..
   ..as the cool wind touches my skin..

I saw a small line of ants carrying food as though nothing was happening around..
 ..i said to myself..shouldnt i do the same :)

just a little closer..a butterfly flattering her wings..
  ..sat on the grill of window..

as though she asked me..series of questions popped up..
..was everything around a reflection of inside..
..no good...no bad..only perception and perceiver..

I stood still...she stood still..

....Stillness......."

Love flows across..as you hold them..i remember lil kavya ,mentally challenged child..kissed me and said dont go !...that was so emotional...murali,soni,sowmya lil ones from sathya shanthi seva bangalore i will never forget for their love and affection..sowmiya from balagurukalam was special..

Being a part of a team which saved joel will remain one of my good works..take a look at joel

Beautiful conversations&Sunflower - Remembering Meera Mam

" I got a call from old age home around 2006 ,they askd if I could wish a person named Meera Nayak-never met before on her birthday [Its always warm when somebody  suddenly pops up and wishes you] . I knew she was elderly ,possibly feeling lonely . I didnt have too much of money to buy something big for her ..I wanted something invaluable and something she will remember me for ... So i decided to buy her a sunflower plant! .. it would be wonderful...early morning the flower would smile at her..and she can take care of the flower as well..

I reached her place on oct 11 .Door opened saw a woman of 80 + ..her voice is still ringing in my hears..initial questions..then once i wished and gave plant..she was excited ! ..jumping with happiness.all excited tone..all smiles :)..it was wonderful feeling to give ..there started the conversation which lasted for 3 hours..
 
 I came to know what a great person she was .. something popped in physics i was talking..then to my shock she told me Dr.CV raman -Nobel prize winner was her close friend ! .. we spent lot of time talking on music..then came another shocker .. her conversation with Menuhin sir,the greatest violin player ever lived.... my god..and she was president of Red cross ,india...list goes on..yet so simple and humble..so level headed..

Another thing she carried her youth with her ! at her age..you must see her excitement and curiosity to know something.. bubbly ..we both laughed when she confessed she always had a crush for amitabh bachan though 20 years younger than her..:)..

I had visited her the second time..we played mouth organ together..she was pro !..introduced me to strummin ..i had told her that i will take her to my home and play violin..she always wanted to play for her..

 During this conversation..she taught me one of the biggest lessons of my life.."INTERDEPENDENCY" ..that everything in this universe is interdependent..and we must understand that .. i slowly realized and understood our friendship as well..when it started i thought i wanted to make her happy that it...finally it turned out to be we both were happy ..

 Her words of encouragement is still in my heart..for such words are the ones which i carry for my huge battles ahead ..i wish she was there to hear my progress and to give her support ..

After that meeting i never met her..i left to bangalore then canada..used to call her from there..we had three to four more conversation..

I came to know .. she passed away earlier this year..

Friendship day -2010-Aug 1

Woke up..wished most friends..wrote mails to the one whom i cldnt reach.. thought i was appropriate to met our friends in our siding..so the series of calls started..

Decided to go to siding station where our friendship grew and strengthend..it was in this place that we decided start a organisation to help ppl..which later became" Towardsbetterworld trust " when we were 20 years old guys then..living a fun filled life :)..

on this day..i wanted most guys to turn up..its not the same ..as we grow up responsibility are bigger..most guys were on the matrimonial search..hahah never imagined that stage in life..we were living as though we were always singles :)..looked like four wld turn up ..

Uday,kouski and i took our favourite train..reached siding..to see the changes..our tea was not there!..our temple has changed..everything cleaned up..then it was walk in the forest :)..we enjoyed it..now all brushes are cut..paths are clean..steve rasu joined us ..

Good news was released that koushik ,rasu were getting engaged !!! :) ..happy we were to hear the news..went to another tea shop..brought bajii .. uday and i bite a piece .. ohh!!! we both realized something was wrong..at the same instant..we looked at each other..throwed away the bajii..it was egg bajii..we are pure veggies..small things like this non verbal communication when happens in friends..its wonderful :)...

There was small kids playing on banyan..i realized how beautiful life was if one was content with what one has..so the day ended..with friendship hugs..                                                                                                             
Will leave you with some beautiful memories of friendship that blossomed in the siding railway station ..later become friendship to serve society and people..

Caution : Hold his bums down facing ground always.If vice versa god save the guy,we will pray for him .

Procedure for the ritual : One person ideally for lifting both legs or you can have one for one leg . Then one person for upper body . One important part , the key person - striker takes aim at his bums and delivers the maximum forced kick .

Observation after the ritual : Honored person should not be able to sit in chairs . Swollen bums is the best effect to be desired .

REMEMBER WE LOVE PEACE !!!

Inspiring words from Kalam sir!

Courtesy : www.liveindia.com/ news/APJAbdulKalam.jpg

"I was priviledged for working in a research which was closely associated with kalam sir . I had small stint research with his only phd doctor till now George sir .If you wanna know on george sir

http://www.rediff.com/news/2002/jul/08spec.htm

Kalam sir and george sir ..as george sir used to tell me...they both used to walk early in the morning around anna university campus then president election wasnt held..

"The legend" asked george sir a simple question ..  what will you do suppose you are mining ..and find a huge mountain in between ..answer might be illogical but focus on your mind strength..george said many engineering..go around ..or closest we cld get was..cave a huge hole ...

Kalam sir..answered..."Blast the mountain " ...such brute aggressive mind...which is the key to creation and innovation .. when one uses these words only thing comes to mind is problems..and the answer he gives is this...blast it !"

I hope sharing this information will be helpful for many innovators around the world.

Seeing a smile in a child's face ! wow !

 

[Flower from home]

"Designed a system - a microprocessor based one for mentally challenged child..which might improve his activity..wanted to see his response..we called in a child to play on it..he came..start slowly ..then full of joy !....i was very happy asked him whelther he enjoyed playing on it...he was jumping said 'Light game' went running around "...filled me with joy in heart and soul..there is so many miles to walk but this lil sucess gave a happiness which was very different and beautiful ..so i start to walk..

Evening to remember !

                                                        [ A flower from my home ]

"It was drizzling ..raindrops were just right not too heavy .. it was day to remember..as I took my mom and dad for a lil walk in the renovated park-anna tower .A park which has seen our three generations..even my grandfather's father .. there was that small hump of cement rock which i remember when i was small child climbed and imagined that i had reached mt.everest..used to yell from the top ..

..my grandfather brought all of us a choco bar which was Rs.5 very costly then..we played round it..remember the time my dad took me to the park we used to workout ....the park which saw most of my childhood excursions :)...it saw the party of the last schooling day..as i grew it was place were i found people and usually prefer to have a long conversation...

this day..ironically i brought my mom a icecream and soup to my dad..took them around and finally a wonderful dinner..in a near candle light atmosphere.. we said bye to the day..closed our eyes"  -Equally made a break through in my work..for a start of new project..a evening to remember..

A Tough opponent !

" This research looks very difficult task from all quarters. From technologically point for you ,it looks good but there are unknown questions from unknown areas..understanding one of complex thing existing in the world is a difficult proposition ..as always breaking dimensions and reaching out for new frontiers is a integral part of a innovator..yes,there is discouragement ..yes,there is not working for you..yes,the task looks impossible..are you gonna quit ! No :)..understanding the expectations from the gaints that one must resolve...pressure gets in...motivation comes from seeing the result ..the outcome..one is gonna see so many smiles around :)..puts one's heart in the work..and hopes for the best.."

Veerabahu

My anthem !!!!

So somebody has finally created anthem for me !!! :) not exactly ..from the movie "Ravanan" -Tamil movie by Mani .

"Veeram" - Means Brave,Courage in Tamil -derived word is Veera or Veer.

This character in the movie 'veera' has most qualities that makes me..atleast i believe so :) hahahahah...

So this song is my anthem ! .  Thank you AR rahman for composing the song.Vikram for portraying an powerful character..mani for making this movie..i loved this movie ..

Football !!! - A relationship

First game i started playing around 4 yrs..my father taught and brought me a football when i was 4th standard...memories are flooding in.. :)))
                                                          At 8 yrs,   We had a wonderful team then arvin,joseph his brother ,ram sathish and another guy dont remember his name..an opponent team had 7 guys..we had lot of clashes those days..i remember the epic match..best of 5..we were 0-2 down..from that point we won..5-2..i scored the 3th one..playing the right winger..it was swift attack...

Remember how bad i felt after losing that ball :(..very loved one..i took care of her so much..i hit a wide pass..ball went to road..a bus driver stole the ball and drove away..chased him a long way..lost in vain..

After that nothing much in football till i joined Jaya engineering college..first year was very interesting..we really threatened our final year seniors..it was good match..bt lost..

My final year - was the captain and played the center forward ..i missed a pretty easy chance..one i regret even now..i shld have scored..gave my best to win the match for my team..it went to penalty..we lost..a semifinal match..had we won shld have been final..

 thus the last chance to hold a medal in football - first love..was also lost..

Flowers and Love

Nature's Symmetry

                                                     [Painted by veerabahu ]

For some reason choose paper as medium .

Nature's Symmetry :

Inspired by great scientist De Broglie's hypothesis - " Nature is symmetric " . Painted this .

" Universe is symmetric..all living and non living things are interconnected and unified by a source . Symmetrical means the variation between two elements compared is constant or one is 'x' times multiple of other . They share the common property . Here , replaced the human mind by a tree - meaning mind resembles the tree's property - interaction with environment -it gives and it takes . Similarly mind receives signals and transmits - makes decision .

Human has two parts - within and whats seen outside . Whats seen outside is a resultant of whats within . Here, red colour is used - to symbolize aggression ,determination and will to achieve goal -destiny . Destiny represented by the final fire - shows a complete life cycle-child,adulthood-marriage, and lone battle to destiny-lighting is lighting of fire .

The society see's a beautiful outside image of such a human - he spreads peace - green colour  and knowledge -blue . Such a human is worshipped and respected even by angels "

Childhood games - A real training experience that helps me even now

Games between Age 5-8 :

At  4 yrs, found my friend Srikanth...at 5 we formed a team of four - Srikanth,Veera,Chandru,Prabu.

Sometimes Srikanth used to steal others pencil box ..magnetic boxes was very famous..he used to steal these boxes and take this magnets out..we were not aware of this..

Other classmates knew this..and thought that we four were part of this..sri never told us and we believed him ..until in class 5 he accepted and showed us the secret place..where he stored everything..

The whole wld literally hunt us down !..there was 2 small breaks and one big one-lunch..moment bell goes..we wll run out..since four didnt stand a chance against 45 boys inside the small classroom...

I must accept it was frigthening..just the thought of getting caught...my classmates formed groups to hunt and chase..to beat us...sometimes even their elder brother will chase us..

It taught me..unity..not to give up on my friend under extreme condition..we stood and fought together..sri and I were good runners..chandru and prabu was okay..

And also ,we were good fighters:)..hahah..small boys....sri was v strong for his age..chandru was heavy..prabu was feather...i used punches and kicks well !.....

Everyday it was either you escape...if caught..a battle against 4 vs 40...i am glad to say we beat them up many times..and got beaten up fewer times...do or die !

These guys were not only our enemies but our girls as well ! dont know why :)...we didnt like them:)

 Games between 8-13 :

 As we grew up..there was no enmity..the chasing thing gave rise to game called "Chain"..first a caugh'ter...manages to touch a running away guy..he is out..they both hold hand to form a chain..to caugh another..like this the join goes on..

since 15 to 20 holding hands and chasing is hard..we formed pairs...to chase...over a time..it became a predefined caughers and runners...

I am runner....love to fight it out till end..i was a last remaining warrior most times..running around..few moments still linger in my mind-imagine a big line of pairs..as u cross them..they create a arc to get u...wonderfully to find a solution from a nearly gone position..

This spirit is still with me..and keep the lessons learnt when small close to my heart and mind...

Visualizing Victories

" When the body cries...when the destination is no where in your sight..find yourself in a point where you cant go back..sometimes feel to stop and give up this fight...

At those points -Visualizing the victories...what you will go through..emotions..happiness..joy..tears of success..these thoughts will give hope...hope to carry on..

..to hold on..to walk on..."

At this point..."I say to god keep holding my hand..we have a big battle to fight after this walk.."

Beautiful walk..:)

Had been to my village...Had been on a walk with my closest friend nature..my cousin was also there...

..sun was setting behind the mountain..as we walked those silent paths filled with green plants..place looked untouched for centuries..we walked along a path taken by a stream..

Beautiful it was..relaxing..after the walk with clouds in parabumpara..this walk i cherished..lost in silence...beauty holding me...

Beautiful Evening :)

Day before yesterday 26 Feb 2009

Small success in my project that too on the evening of a weekend :) is a wonderful feeling to go into weekend on a success note .

As I live alone and work in my own lab [sis has delivered a boy baby :) parents in LA now] in my home itself..its more like Tom hanks "cast away "..for me ..take few calls..thats it..then its more me and my science works..i dont see any one..self imposed hibernation..thats what my work demands..if gods will if i can acheive what i am aiming for..will have a very positive impact on our society and good career for me..

okay coming to the evening..i decided to go out to buy some books for a friends sister..in train !wow :) always reminds me of my college days and my friends..relive those moments..fast trains,people,the tree there..

Took a train to central...was footboarding as usual..near central ..circus has opened again i guess..the excitement i had as a small kid as all lil ones.. my parents took to them..the trapeze was feeling of wow! :)..beautiful times..went to moore market..

i didnt get the book..was looking around after that..was so happy to see the old moore market feeling coming as antiques filled the places..there were painting...old clocks..old coins..its like museum to me yet i can buy something..i was searchn for telescope..most nt working..one was bt..cldnt adjust zooming..good to see that :)...

So came back home with a happy feeling !..

Review - Seven pounds

12-15 am - just finished watching Seven pounds . Feel emotionally touched and heavy.

Beautifully portrayed love- So emotional touching and very natural- simple real love .

Might be argued that does the candle has to burn itself out to give light ? why it alone ? - "it has to".Very true.

Feeling of guilt and loss paves way to see a person turn nearly to god's status - to exhibit extreme compassion.Thats a short version of the movie.

Rating : Must watch

Beautiful romantic song!

I could feel all love and romance...wonderful..wow!..wow...so romantic :).....i hum to the moon and flowers&computers around..

Touched ...

I feel touched with many families caring for me so much..as my families members are in LA these families care for so much..i am simply touched and moved..

I live alone for this short duration which is not a big deal for me considering my work keeping me occupied all along..these families are so sweet most days they call me..show so much care..and always invite me for food...

"its your home..stay here itself"..."i am like your mom.."...."you my elder son.." these words are fill me with emotion..these are neighbor,friends family...

felt so warm...justified about my decision to leave canada for good..and live with people whom i love..god bless them all....

Keeping my kid within alive and kicking

As one goes into adulthood..some wonderful things that one did in his childhood goes into hiding..only the closest of my people know quite a bit abt me..I been one playful lil boy when small...all day long wl be roaming with football...

When in school i was expert in keeping paper tails without the other kid knowing ...make a big tail..and attach to the shorts of the other boy kid sitting in front of me without his knowledge...god! when he walks out of his place..whole class wld be laughing at him! :)..sorry my friend..they used to keep one for me too..only friendly stuff nothing to hurt anyone....but shhh dont tell to anyone once masterminded painting a teachers shirt..we used  to succeed to an extent :) ...

Now I am old enough but the kid is still live and kicking...few weeks back we had great fun..shall post on that..

Something I have learnt...the kid within is generally a stress buster..wonderful to be with :)..enjoy playing with him...when goin gets tough..he is also a part of the recovery team :)...so all out there...get ur kids within alive and kicking!

Putting your soul in what we do!

Putting soul,heart and mind in what we do is all it counts..then success becomes a relative word!..we feel something within...a divine touch so beautiful as the gentle breeze ..as a butterfly touching you and saying a hi! :)..

need nothing from that...just put the three into one place.. :)

PS: Liked the art . Let my blog be a lil ad board for artists . Click on image u will get direct link.

A childhood conversation

"we were three of us..julie,ashwin,veera..we sat in the same bench ,studying 4 standard..created a logo for ourselves and a dream for three of us..

it was to create a airport...ashwin builds the port with civil work as civil engineer..i take care of planes as aeronautic engineer..julie does the legal stuff and admin..as lawyer..

after nearly twenty years looking back...we havent built a airport yet! :)..but built ourselves for what we wanted to be...i choose to be electronic engineer rather than aeronautic..ashwin choose to be computer science engineer...julie is a lawyer...dream does happen :)..."

"SO NOW WE HAD ANOTHER CONVERSATION !!!....................................................."

Biography of Alexander Graham Bell

It was a easy to read book "Biography of Alexander Graham Bell " it was inspiring to learn abt Alex sir :)..

I brought this book in Halifax in the Maritime Museum which holds the remains of titanic..i brought few things related to titanic and SS Atlantic too..

Coming to the Alex sir life..most beautiful thing is he achieved success in both this career and personal life...rarely someone does so strong research and falls in love..goes behind everywhere! :)...thats too hard for me...he has wonderfully balanced both! to marry someone whom u love is itself a achievement[falling in love is itself a achievement for me!]...

His wife as hearing challenged..he was her teacher and to be correct she was the one who showed Alex sir to the world! ...that's why they say "behind every man's victory there is a woman"..

Look at his inventions god!..from biomedical t0 telecommunications to aero...its told that his invention is used in the planes even now..he invented a machine to identify bullet which gets into body..along side of Wright brothers..Alex sir society created so many inventions in aviation..

Thanks for the book !..Thanks Alex sir for telling few stories indirectly to me!..

Stephen Hawkings beautiful question !

Always believed that answer to the ultimate..grand unified theory will be on uniting micro and the macro levels...i was excited to hear that the same belief was responsible for answering the big bang..

Hawkings question if i m right on technical terms-what happens when atom enters the black hole.. sucha beautiful mind :) linking both extremes that unrevealed the mysteries of universe....

I was very happy to read hawkings proof -> for the existence of the another time plane..and existing of infinite universes...reading all this i just feel "zero" has something extraordinary abt it..lets see..

Hope that theoretical physicist like him and great human are created more in this world...

Gods purest creation "Stephen Hawkings "

[Great battles] Veera Vs Pressure Cooker - Flashback

For some reason my great battle with pressure cooker came to my memory .

"It was late evening when i decided to engage my enemy with heavy artillery -2 cups of dal but unfortunately with too much of gun powder-water . Added to that my less efficient multiprocessing brain forgot that...

It had warned me many times whistling not to engage in the desert area-stove...but i was doing something...after a long time..nothing happened..silence...oh god i have forgotten realized...

As i am a warrior[ :) love to say that !]...never gave up..i decided to remove the weight from its head..thinking it was dead..

oh god..oh god!it was ambush....its was pushing steam like anything...i thought its gonna explode..frightened..stood i..didnt give up..stood my ground..gonna explode ???..

luckily it ran out of steam...i stood there...it was small battlefield-kitchen cum hall...so it was battle where i learned...another day to live :)

Tendulakar - A Legend -Sorry sachin we didnt play well to win

Today saw one of the great innings of my life played by Sachin . Artistry ,temperament,determination every thing one need to acheive a near impossible target.Such was the master in this innings against Australia chasing 350 to win .

I am very sad , none of the other players supported him . I feel guilty of not doing much[what can i do ! ??? pray :) ]...sorry...really sorry..actually indian cricket for sure dont deserve a committed person like you . You got the technique or not..other players just had to play with grit - all others-partially raina[why did he play that stupid pull shot! ? when he cant ]...where was Jadeja running ?.. yuvaraj ?...if a team cant score 19 runs at nearly 19 balls with three wickets...i dont think its a committed team applying themselves for the situation...

I dont want to waste time on this indian cricket...we have lot to learn from sachin ,his humbleness and the great person he is...i really feel indian cricket dont deserve a player like him..you are too good and noble...sorry sachin for what happened today..i feel miserable..and how much a player wld feel giving his best miracle and the team mates dont pull it off a easy win ..again and again...i have gone this so many times being the captain in cricket and football..

i feel what sachin feels now..as i felt...losing that football match-semifinals..sorry sachin...

Architecture design – Achieving my goals

Architecture design – Achieving my goals

These are words of swami Vivekananda….analyzing this gives me lot more focus to my ideas and channel whatever i have learnt to be channeled better..social work is quite stable now..research i hope i can start quick..music i am trying to focus..taekwondo is strong but not yet channelled..another idea that i looking at is life saving thing..medicine..i hope everything can be channelled..when i die i hope i wld have acheived these goals..


“Take up one idea. Make that one idea your life - think of it, dream of it, live on that idea. Let the brain, muscles, nerves, every part of your body, be full of that idea, and just leave every other idea alone. This is the way to success, that is way great spiritual giants are produced.”- Swami vivekananda


“Education is not the amount of information that is put into your brain and runs rot there, undigested all your life. We must have LIFE-BUILDING, MAN-MAKING,CHARACTER-MAKING, assimilation of ideas. If you have ASSIMILATED five ideas and made them your LIFE and CHARACTER, you have more education than any man who has got byheart a whole library.”-
Swamivivekanada

தமிழ் வாழ்க !!! தமிழ் !!!

this gives more details on the conversation..and the background ..linking tamil,turks and mexicans

http://www.mondovista.com/ancientturks.html

THE MAYANS WERE TAMILS.
I am now ready to return to the hypothetical voyage of Tamils to America. They probably used two types of maps. The map below-left shows Mt. Meru with petals pointing in four directions. The left petal points toward a distant land called Ketumal or Chetumal. In order to reach that land, they had to go eastward in order to avoid sailing around the tip of Africa. They knew where they were going, for they had been there before! The map below-right was their own map of the world.

The Mayans said that the land of their forefathers lay 150 days westward.
When the Tamils arrived in North America, they crossed over to what is now the Caribbean Sea, through the Isthmus of Panama (The Great Crossing). After coming out the other side, they docked in the safe harbor of Chetumal. It still bears the same name. Chetumal harbor is in Belize. Belize derives from Belisha (God Shiva).
[Right: Photo of Chetumal harbor in Belize.]Later, they left Chetumal, sailing up the coast to a place reminding them of the beauty of their old home in Konkan. They dropped anchor and made their first home in America there. Not surprisingly, they decided to name their new home Kankun (Cancun). After thousands of years, the last syllable has barely changed in pronunciation.


[Left: Beach scene in Tulum, Cancun area. Right: Map showing their voyage from Chetumal to Cancun.]When the Tamils settled in Yucatán, they built their typical zikharis, such as those of Tikal and Palenque. At Tikal, they stained their stone monuments a reddish color, just as they had done back in the Konkan.


[Left: A Tikal Zikhari. Right: A Pelenque Zikhari.]People are surprised to see stone images of elephants in Mayan country, such as the following one in Copan. It may be a reminder of the elephants in India.
[Right: Stone etching of a Hindu mahout, complete with turban, riding on the head of an elephant.] Some authorities, who do not agree with me that the Mayans came from abroad, think Southern Mexico once had elephants. The truth is that they worshiped a long-nosed god (Chac) or elephant, just as the Hindu Tamils worshiped the elephant-headed Ganesha in India.
Chak was the long-nosed Mayan God of thunder, lightning, rain, and crops. His elephantine trunk sprayed water on the earth. His equivalent in other parts of the world was Zeus, Dyaus, Jupiter, Ca, Jah, Ju, Jahve, Jehova Jeho, Sakh, Sagg, Sa-ga-ga, Sakko, Zagg, Zax. a.k.a. Zeus, is often depicted holding a serpentine thunderbolt and a grail, or someone is handing it to him. The Mayan Chak is equally depicted.



.........................

All kinds of speculations have been made, many mystical, about the ancient sea-farers known as Wotan, Woden, the German Wuotan, the Yap Island Paathan, and the Philipine Bataan. Even today, a large tribe of Pakistanis are called Pathan. Votan was never a single person. He was really a "nation of sailors." This ancient nation of sailors and adventurers is still with us: The Dravidian Tamils!

Bondage...

Missed deepavali for the first time in my life

Oh god!... a damn feeling of missing home on a deepavali..

..sound of crackers...getting up early in the morning..quick quick take oil bath...lil coffee..all excited run to burst crackers!..the atmosphere oh wow..the build up to the deepavali is so wonderful...amma,appa,kalai...all our family members..it sucha a great feeling...

on this day...in canada..just woke up..shifted my place from hotel to new home..the run back to office for a meeting...finish the stuff and back home late..not even a visit to temple...

all the years of deepavali was flashing in my memory..i remember the one of the deepavali..where i was training with my taekwondo team in the beach..i was 11 yrs old..

.on the sparring...a fight in martial art...i had to fight two guys in a beautiful location..waves hitting ur knee...sun slowly rising...

i remember the moment..its mandatory we have to keep both of them in around 135 degrees vision..i just lost track of one guy...i tried a round house kick on one...and next second..i received a straight scissor kick on my upper lip from another guy...it tore and i was bleeding heavy..ironically i was first to bring that kick in our dojo..the double edged sword hit me back...which i had used successful to bring down few ppl..
i fought well that day even though i had received a major blow...

..then my father and me..came back home...crackers we burstin everywhere..most of the morning was over..but sacrifice was needed to learn something..i had to sacrifice few hours of my deepavali for my taekwondo...after 10 years..i received a black belt..

now i am 28 ...i have missed a complete deepavali..away from family... :(((((

cheers,
veerabahu

Bachelor's guide :)

Tip 1] Cleanliness is next to godliness

First time home setting:If you are half human and half monkey like me..best is to ask to anybody from other gender to set things right for you..those gender ppl are perfectionist..god has created them like that..and me like this...

Tip 2] A tiring day comes to end!ahh ass pains to cook

Sorry guys u have to!

Tip 3] Feeling alone !

If you live alone like me...sometimes u might feel alone..

How wonderfully it wld be to have a beautiful girl near you..soothing words and warm hug--->> SNAP OFF OF YOUR DREAMS..REALIZE THERE IS NOBODY...GET BACK TO REALITY guys hahahahaa!!!...clothes to wash...research to do..get up...yeah u are alone!so what!..start to enjoy ur own companionship and love it!...hahah...sorry thats the truth..may be hard ..


I really hate ppl saying and gettin depressed .."i am feeling alone " ...jackass god has created you beautifully and you lose urself ...and in turn lose the interconnection with the world..find urself..u will find everything!..way to go tiger :)..

god! i need strength..

" its 1 am in the morning...still in office..as the goals are getting clearer..and visions brightening..i understand the hurdles..god give me strength...i need to carry on"...

hahaha--how it feels when ur petrol runs dry at midnight

"Its 2 am...i was returning from office around 12.30 am petrol ran dry..hahahha...different feeling..no petrol..and even police caught me to check my license..its was interesting to push my bike in the middle of the night :)..i liked when i pushed it over a fly over and ..down the slope...:)..good experience..i had petrol bunk in 1 km and its was over...i wanted to write this down before i sleep..

Listening: Yanni-To Take..To hold [really wonderful to hear in the middle of night ]...

gonna sleep now..good night :) ..."

my friend :)

This fellow has been around with me for a longtime..quite different has sand in his bums as to sit erect hahahah!:)

Visions up! !!

..yeah ..my visions are up and batteries are charging...mind just got a bit working...

..after the conversation with Prof.Sankai and Prof.Suzuki...i might be modifying my proposal towards artifical limb -Brain to machine interface -instead of a wheelchair..that helps the people better than a wheelchair..

my dream is to start a lab working basically on brain to machine interface ->cyborgs,artifical limbs and modified HAL robots...i will start with a small move ..hopefully ..gods grace..

i hope i can start early i must thank my friends mannan and jhelum for their ideas..providing bit of push towards that...

..i am looking at CNC machines in the other end..i am looking at this ..in the immediate future..

..hopefully..hopefully..

:(

..my mind was sparking..huge energy found...i was feeling very strong....

..just got a call my mom was unwell..my goodness everything just went off..just like switching off ur lights...everything became dark....i lost every bit of my strength..i had rush back home..my sister flew in...its quite difficult phase for me coming few weeks...

..within few days i had a big battle on hand...i had to leave home and reach my place in bangalore for tht...my eyes were filled ..as a lone warrior held his sword ...with a heart of heaviness..i just felt nothing...in a such a state of pain where nothing really affects...

..but i had to fight the battle..i just kept trying...just trying...for i knew that if i cld win the battle its for my ppl...

..so i keep going...trying...trying..under whatever situation..

The curse of being strong...

..its like holding a huge rock and unable to share the weight with anybody..possibly we dont want anybody to risk...and ..when a pain comes..others think ..its fine he can handle it...sometimes its very hard...when ur heart bleeds..strength dips..mind slows down...there is no other go than to hold on..and fight it out...
..there is the real spring of energy when the last breathe to hold on is taken in...i dont know from where it comes from...quite phenomenal ..as the rock is thrown away..and we have a mountain of rocks to clear the path for ourself and for others....

..burn urself as much as u can for others...and for a work from which u dont except anything...something beyond materialistic world and something far more superior energy will be part of u...

Strength to see life in the claws of death..

..life is all about pushing oneself towards their dreams and goals to the limit...and with every limit the risk of death increases...and with every victory one sees more of life in it than death...

..dream as much as you can..acheive those dreams dont let it fade away for they are precious..it needs hardwork...and the success,victory and quest to workhard itself will become a need for you like air that you breathe..it generates huge amount of energy that keeps one going and going..

..for a single manifestation of the flow will be elixir of life..where one starts to strive to quench the elixir of life again and again...goes on...

Hip hop!!!

Something i cant do in my life..dance!!! :)..watch this...oh my god..the girl in the white shirt dances beautiful!!!..what a flow in her movements..of course the guy in hat..but the girl had real quality and attitude

Applications of chinese kunfu to real life-switch on speakers!

...What it feels to decline something u wanted all your life...

Its been sometime since i have spoken..and ofcourse i am making the blog open..i am thinking of sharing some information...

I was invited to japan by university of tsukuba...more than anything Prof.Sankai had personally signed my invite...its such a honour for me...from my child hood i have worked all alone..questioning and reasoning so many things..i had taken sucha great risk in choosing brain to machine interface as master thesis..thing is nobody was there to guide me..i had to work so hard..to learn electronics and science..to implement certain things...

..and i am just a ordinary dust particle before everybody to recognize my work and invite me..i feel so honored...thank you god for giving me sucha a life filled with love,respect,knowledge and honor...

..there were two interviews..one for research assistantship(RA) and another for PHD...i cldnt get thru RA for i didnt have experience ..but got my PHD admit in the university of tsukuba...and i didnt get in cybernics dept...one of the reason for not taking my PHD...

..mind u this is my dream!!!! imagine doing PHD in japan wow!...in robotics :)!..

..money is quite important in life..i didnt get a scholarship i really cldnt take a risk as i took in my masters where three years was so difficult so was it after i came out..still i have not recovered...

..doing my PHD in a similar way ..living is so costly in japan i really cant afford such a thing..i cant even a year...actually it was right forward for me..if i dont get scholarship i am not going..i didnt know if i cld get if i go there...

only now..thinking..instead of sitting at 10.30 pm at office on a holiday writing a c code.. makes me think..shld have i taken???...

..thats painfull...really painful.....i cldnt afford straight forward...god!i touched it..god! i touched it...still i cldnt hold on...

i remember when i was the captain of my football in college..in the semifinals..i missed a shot just over the cross bar..game went into penalty and we lost...

..i remember those painful moments...so as losing people...so thats how it is..what it feels to decline something you wanted all your life...

..in search of my destiny

Longtime ahh! :)...its really a dream come true for me as i was invited to Japan to present my project proposal and possibly my Phd ..six more hours i am off from bangalore...i never thought i would leave chennai a year ago..here i am very next year for Japan for another battle..

..bottomline i want to do something for my society with my ideas..i hope and wish that i can..

see you then...bye..
