Today my uncle's kid was not going well and was taken to hospital. It was a simple fever but doctor was not satisfied by that.They wanted perform all kinds of test so that they could detect what the cause of the disease might be and then arrive at the conclusion .I think of my childhood days where the doctor would recognise the disease just with his stethoscope and thermometer and will give few medicines and I will be alright the next day.And now for a simple cold or cough we end up taking all kinds of tests to make sure we are perfect.
With the improvement in technology new medical machines are discovered everyday.Aren't those advancement in technologies should make our life easy rather complicated.
When I was in Cochin last year,I had wheezing which occurs very rarely. My friend took me to the hospital.I don't know what my friend said to the nurse there maybe he would have said 'my friend could not breath'.There I was taken directly to ICU!!! they put on a oxygen mask,then gave an injection and kept me under observation for few hours, later discharged me.I was wondering why this kind treatment for a simple issue. Now I think twice before going to hospital.
I think there is a simple way anywhere but the trouble is finding it.

Looking back at school syllabus
One of my cousin has just written his 12th board exams and right now preparing for AIEEE. He has asked me to guide him. Since its been more 8 years I have been through these kinds of ordeal and I felt whether my rusty brain would remember all those useless things which I have learnt in school.
Its not bad as I thought as I could co relate something from the syllabus he showed,sometimes felt nostalgic about few problems which brought back the memories of my school days. I still feel my life was so difficult during the school days than what I m doing now. Lots to study, lots to remember parental pressures its good I am out of those things now.

==================================================
நல்ல முடிவுகள், அனுபவத்திலிருந்து பிறக்கின்றன;
ஆனால் அனுபவமோ
தவறான முடிவுகளிலிருந்து கிடைக்கிறது.

ஒரு நொடி துணிந்தால் இறந்துவிடலாம்.
ஒவ்வொரு நொடியும் துணிந்தால் நாம் ஜெயித்து விடலாம்.
==================================================
மிகவும் நேர்மையாக இருக்காதீர்கள்;
ஏனெனில் நேரான மரங்கள் முதலில் வெட்டப்படும்;
நேர்மையானவர்களே முதலில் பழிதூற்றப்படுவார்கள்.
கொஞ்சம் வளைந்து கொடுங்கள். வாழ்க்கை, லகுவாய் இருக்கும்.
==================================================
நம்ம நட்புக்கு நல்ல ரெண்டு உதாரணம்.
தளபதி படத்துல நீ ரஜினின்னா நான் மம்முட்டி
பிதாமகன்ல நீ விக்ரம்னா நான் சூர்யா.

எப்பவுமே நான்தான்டா முதலில் சாகணும், என் நண்பா.
No No அழக்கூடாது Control yourself.

My trip to Delhi last week!
The first thing I noticed in Delhi was pink colour street dog roaming around,it took few seconds to realise the holi celebrations didn't spare the poor thing.Last week I was in the national capital to attend one of our family friend's marriage.It is my second visit to Delhi ,last time was five years ago in a hot summer. This time climate was rather pleasant.
Day 1
Reached Delhi by noon,from there directly left to Faridabad where our friend's reception was supposed to happen. It took more than two hours to travel 40kms as the traffic was pretty heavy.Seems all cars in the city were on the road.Surprise to know bridegroom has taken classes for me during my training days at my company.Reception was one of the best I have ever seen,felt my stomach is too small to eat all the food they have arranged for.
Day 2
Went back to Delhi followed the ordeal negotiating the Delhi traffic,by noon went around karol bagh where my dad bargained a chapel for 250 rs ,later found the same available for 150rs.My mum got a new salwar and lots of other items which I couldn't remember.
From there we went to Akshardham temple,built on over 300 acres of land ,with wonderful scriptures ,high ceiling,distinct domes,long pathways on the whole it was a marvel of architecture.It took more than five hours to see the whole temple,We enjoyed the spiritual movie,boat ride and fountain show.
Day3
When we were in Delhi a gang of around 40 people from Trichy where on spiritual tour to hariwar,rishikesh etc.They halted a day in Delhi on the way back home.We joined them for a one day tour around Delhi.
I saw all the places which I used to see in everyday news like Rastrapathi bhavan,parliament,Headquarters of Congress,BJP etc. We visited Gandhi memorial ,Indira Gandhi memorial and Tirumurthi bhavan(Nehru s memorial).Later in the day we went to Qutab Minar and Lotus temple.Lotus temple is well maintained we can just visit it for the flowers they have grown there.
There were lots of flowers with different colours and were unique among others.
Day4
My mum s longtime dream was to see Taj. We got up early in the morning left our room around 5:30. We had booked Panikar travels to take us to Agra.It was four hour journey we reached Agra.
Our first stop was at Agra fort,having seen the movie Jodha Akbar i could relate most of the locations I saw there.I got the real meaning of what is meant by living life King s size.From there we visited a marble workshop,got a Taj replica.After lunch we went to see Taj.
We entered Taj via the south gate,the first look at the beautiful structure left me speechless,I spent looking at every inch of the workmanship it took the build Taj.22 years more than 20000 people were used to build this amazing masterpiece.We took lot pictures from our camera ,a professional picture in lover s bench.We spent around 2 hours there.Still my mind is having the fresh memories of the Taj. After seeing Taj we went to Mathura, visited the birthday place of Krishna.From there we returned back to Delhi,as usual traffic made us mad took 5 hours to reach Delhi.
Day 5
We got up late ,since it was our final day in Delhi we reserved it for shopping.We went to Palika Bazaar(underground shopping market).I dont remember what and all we bought it was my mum who did all the shopping I was a mere spectator nodding the head top to down or left to right whenever she asked my opinion! After that we had lunch at pizza corner,then left to our room packed our stuffs head to airport. Reached Chennai by evening,the humidity in city was too much,which made me to sweat instantly.I started to wonder whether I could have stayed in Delhi itself!!

Yoga for Super Brain
I got this forward from my aunt ,have pasted the content below!
What we have been practicing for generations since childhood is now
packaged by Yale university school of Medicine as Superbrain Yoga to
increase intelligence. Nothing but our simple THOPPU KARNAM.
We thought this is just a prayer activity to Lord Ganesha or a
punishment for one's poor performance or bad behavior at school or at
home.
Who knows! Given the economic meltdown, they may even patent it and
sell it back to India. Please don't go ape on your kids and force
them to over do it.
Enjoy the video !

Attack on Srilankan players
Today morning while I was onto something in office my friend pinged me, asking did I see the latest news. I asked whether s about Gandhi's personal belongings coming to auction. He then forwarded the news about the attack made by the terrorist on Srilankan players in the entrance of the Lahore stadium.
It happened in full day light and in spite of the security cover which is supposed to match a VIP function.Actually there was a hand grenade which was put under the bus but luckily it did not explode else consequences would have been disastrous. If Mumbai attacks did not happen our Indian players would have been in that place.Imagine getting headlines that any of our player got injured,the whole country would start erupting and media blowing all horns.Our country may even invoke war against Pakistan.
When Indian tour was cancelled there were comments from Pakistan media,cancelling the tour would sound victory to terrorist and we should not give them that chance. Yea that right but its not an international cricketers responsibility to take such risks play in a country in order to fight terrorism. Its state which should take strong measures against the so called NON STATE actors which ruin the country as well as pose a great threat to the world.

Will stimulus package help US
I read the stimulus package announced by Obama few days back , it was an irony for a country which boasted itself about free economy,liberalisation,customer the king attitude resort back to protectionism. In website I read I came across a clause in the package
USE OF AMERICAN IRON, STEEL, AND MANUFACTURED GOODS
(a) None of the funds appropriated or otherwise made available by this Act may be used for a project for the construction, alteration, maintenance, or repair of a public building or public work unless all of the iron, steel, and manufactured goods used in the project are produced in the United States.
(b) Subsection (a) shall not apply in any case or category of cases in which the head of the Federal department or agency involved finds that—(1) applying subsection (a) would be inconsistent with the public interest;(2) iron, steel, and the relevant manufactured goods are not produced in the United States in sufficient and reasonably available quantities and of a satisfactory quality; or(3) inclusion of iron, steel, and manufactured goods produced in the United States will increase the cost of the overall project by more than 25 percent.
(c) If the head of a Federal department or agency determines that it is necessary to waive the application of subsection (a) based on a finding under subsection (b), the head of the department or agency shall publish in the Federal Register a detailed written justification as to why the provision is being waived.
(d) This section shall be applied in a manner consistent with United States obligations under international agreements.
This is more like saying to the companies we will give you car loan and we will choose you the car. Now if the quality of the product is not worth price the customer wont buy them. So naturally corporations will think twice before using the money for building infrastructure.They have limited options to spend this amount.
Job creation is possible when one makes a product has reach throughout the world not only in America,that's why corporations like Microsoft,coco cola were minting money.Now when US brings protectionist policies barring imports(products like iron and steel) across the world,this will have a counter reaction where its products wont be sold in other countries esp India and China which forms 1/3rd of the population.
When we look back during the great depression of 1929,the then president introduced some protectionist reforms where by increasing the import taxes,this resulted in chain reaction where all countries increased taxes of US import products.Thereby the depression lasted for more than 10 years.These so called reforms resulted in more job loses than creation.
Lets see whether this package actually helps America
