UnderGoing an Arthroscopy (surgery) today

November 16, 2011 / admin / 2 comments

I’m undergoing an Arthroscopy (surgery) today on my right shoulder… The reason for the surgery is to fix a damage caused by previous surgery which I did 5 years back…

So what is it all about???

A decade back I skidded from a two wheeler which started causing frequent dislocation on my right shoulder… Over time the number of iterations started increasing… So, it was recommended to go for a Key-Hole surgery where in loosened capsules on the shoulder were to be screwed and tied…

Then over a period of time moments on my right hand has been restricted and use of that hand has also been limited… Limited usage of the hand has resulted in damage of muscles which has changed my body posture… Also I couldn’t do 25% of the work in a day because of restricted moments… Another effect is I couldn’t play or go for physical workouts…

After 5 years of follow up with the doctors who performed the surgery I couldnt see any respite… I was always told everything was fine… Then I even took physio councelling and treatments… Again there was no respite…

By this time I met a old family friend who is a Doctor specialised in ortho… He referred me to meet a specialist in Coimbatore… After tarough review I was asked in to go for an Arthroscopy (another surgery)…

With all previous experience I took some time to decide and went for 2nd and 3rd opinion… All doctors recommended a surgery…

Now I’ve decided to go for a surgery and it is happening today by 1.30 PM in a hospital in Coimbatore…

With the blessings of almighty and well washers like you I hope surgery will be smooth and I get recovered quickly…

Adventures of TinTin OOpS Kaviraj

November 14, 2011 / admin / No comments

Weekend went to a movie and really enjoyed watching The Adventures of TinTinKaviRaj… Since Kavi’s adventures were big; it overshadowed the movie :) …

  • First Kavi started his Adventures from booking tickets… He booked 4 tickets on four different seats…
  • Second was his wonderful driving… His driving has always been an adventure for people who accompany his… In face I can write a novel when it comes to his driving…
  • Third was when we attended a bachelors party of a friend before the movie… Mr.Kavi vomited what all he consumed… This is rare and the first occasion I saw my icon vomiting…
  • Fifth the fight he pulled with all of us for a particular seat… He pushed every one who was walking to win over his seat… W found no logic as we all had to sit at different corners to watch the movie…
  • Sixth during the interval break I saw Kavi going to restroom… I went to a different corner to buy some ice-cream… I didn’t know from where he jumped… He came took the ice-cream and ran… Te shop keeper was caught with shock… Then I told him he is my friend and I’ll pay for that :) …
  • Seventh was when he drive back… It was such a foolish rash drive… I was not scared but my other pal were really caught with fear :) … It was a drive of flying over the speed breakers, cutting across the cops, teasing the payment walkers…

For a moment I didn’t know why at all we went to the movie as my friend entertained us with his adventures which were much interesting the movie… Hence forth we have decided to gspend time with Kavi rather than spending money on movies or parties…

I thank Kavi for entertaining us the evening….

O O O Itz Not My Day :(((

November 12, 2011 / admin / No comments

After having an exciting night on Social Media promotions I crashed to bed by 5 AM and got up by 1 PM only to realize that an interview was scheduled to me by 1 PM… I called the office only to know no one has come… Then the person turned to interview by 3PM… I preferred an telephonic interview and when I started the interview I realized person has applied for a wrong profile… Since it was an urgent requirement I got little upset…

Then tried to do a online fund transfer from my ICICI Bank to CitiBank… There was some problem with ICICI bank’s online system and I couldn’t do the transfer…

Then I went to BSNL Shoppe near to my house to recharge my 3G Data Plan… But the person in-charge said he hasn’t done a recharge for 3G prepaid Data Plans and he said it can’t be done there… He asked me to call the support or visit Greams Road center on Monday…

From there went to ICICI bank to deposit some cash in hand and again it was real ill-luck that bank shutters were getting closed in front of my eyes… By now I realized it is not going to be my day…

From there went to Samsung Service Center to collect my mobile… Previous day I was told it was a software issue and they said they will reinstall the software and will return the handset the next day… But for my surprise I was told there was problem with the motherboard and it had to be replaced…

Then I called a friend to know when and where to assemble as we planned for a Long Drive or a Short Trip until Sunday… Again it was a bad news as one of the core person backed out owing to official commitments…

By now I’m confused and didn’t know what to do next?? Go home or office or call some other friends??

Without any plan or expectation went to Adambakkam office… Had a short meeting with Ramesh & Karthikeyan… By now Karthi, Sundhar & Kavi assembled… We booked tickets to “Adventures of Tin-Tin”… Then it was fun time with Kavi and Karthi wanted to attend his friends Bachelors party and to my surprise the person happened to be my School Junior… After spending some funny moments there we marched to the movie…

Again our Kaviraj has perfectly booked tickets for all four in 4 different rows… We all sat separately and watched the movie… Then Kavi entertained us in the interval with his non-sense behavior… Then it was followed by his crappy driving…

Finally I must thank KAVI for his funny behavior which really brought down my mood and he helped me to end the day with a happy and enjoyable note…

My Galaxy S2 got screwed – Wanted HELP

November 9, 2011 / admin / 2 comments

For last three days my Android GingerBREAD Samsung Galaxy S2 got screwed for some reason… I keep getting an error PROCESS SYSTEM NOT RESPONDING and it asks to WAIT or FORCE QUIT… Either way the system restarts…

I tried browsing thru all possible support forums and I see a lot of people posting the problem but couldn’t get a solution online…

Then I thought it is time to know the doors of Samsung support… It was a wonderful call centre support and was happy with the courtesy… Asking for my location they gave me the address of their authorised support centre…

I went there with the hopes of fixing the issue… First of all I was startled to see a Samsung authorised support centre Ian dirty complex… Secondly the place was choatic and it was all irated customers shouting at the support staff… What even shocked me was the support staffs were rude in handling the customers…

I thought for a moment if this was a right place for me to handover my expensive phone and I walked back… For last 3 days I’ve been living with this phone which restarts often and I could use a lot of app… Now I’m struck on deciding a solution…

Should I go back to the service centre and give them a chance?
Should I call back Samsung and tell them the situation?
Should I try to solve the issue myself??

I thought it would be better to blog and see if my readers have any solution in hand… Folks pls let me know if you had come across this issue and solved it… I’d be grateful if you can help me solve the issue…

Cherish the present

November 8, 2011 / admin / No comments

It was yet another day out with Kavi and after business talks we started pulling each other down as always… For some reason and as a rare occasion I saw Kavi getting nostalgic… He was sharing about his hard job hunt days… He envied his past days where he had no money but he was happy..

That is when I realised how we cherish the past even it was painful… So the point is we envy those painful days once we successfully overcome them… I’ve my own experience of over coming pain and depression but today those are the days I cherish when I look back…

Last week when I was in Madurai all I could do is to rewind back 3 years where I felt lonely, depressed and more dejected in life…

So the point is we always forget to cherish the present instead of fearing the future or envying the past… Remember present good or bad will me the moment of cherish when it becomes past…

Escape Great Escape

November 2, 2011 / admin / No comments

After having a good lunch, hill climbing, scenic view & a round around the resort… We thought of taking walk thru the village which connects back entrance to the front…

That is when we saw a villager who was cutting grass from a distance… That is when Krishore said he looked like a man-eater, i responded telling CANNIBAL, Satheesh respondes telling he might hit us using a arrow… We were Laughing Out Loud and the guy gauged we were mocking at him…

He starting shouing at us… We smiled at each other and kept walking… We even said what will happens if he followed us… When we turned back he was following us for real and asked to stop…

We started walking fast and enterted the resort… By the time we started the car he was waiting for us with the sickle… We were scared if he would break the glass… But Krishore drove slowly as if we were going to stop and talk to him and he accilarated the car…

After reaching a distance we took a reverse trasing him… When he followed we went little further until he picked a stone… Then we drove some 2 KM until i provoked others braveness… Kriahore couldnt take it and he took a u-turn…

We parked the car a KM away and walked to yhe village… I knew we were inviting trouble; but offlate my life was moving without any fun… Wanted to try out something like FightClub sorts… Wanted to hit someone or get hit…

On reaching the guy he startes calling names… I’ve seen such things only on movies… Satheesh was aggressive and Krishore was handling it politely… People gathered… The guy said we teased his physic, face, size etc… For sure we teased him but not on sorts what he said… I promised we didnt tell such things… Aggression, Softness & Promise helped us to come out winning and finally we made the guy stand alone amongst his own people…

Though we didnt hit anyone or got hit like i wanted… It was a great feel finally as it was great facing herds of villagers against 3…

Finally it was a great feel… But some time later i wish i achieve my FightClub dream….

Must thank my friends Satheesh & Krishore for taking me to this exotic resort Kadambavanam which is located 25 KM from Madurai on natham road…

First of all kudos to the wonderful climate where in tiny hills were covered by mist which otherwise would be hot during summer…

It was wonderful scenic view of hills and villages… Resort has an ayyanar temple with lot other goda and navagraha… It was like a garden temple surrounded by lawns..

It had a auditorium which could accomidate some 100 + people… Also rooms were neat and economical….

Then went to the restaurent which had local villagers who didnt have an hotel management degree to cater… But their hospitality was far superior… Also the food was good and also was the bill… I’ve shelled out 4 times of what i paid in Chennai resorts…

Since we went on a weekday there was no buffet and cultural events… But i was told weekends has events like folk dance, parrot astrology, bharadanatiyam and many more traditional events…

After our lunch we climbed a tiny hill right on the restaurent… We were told food would be  served on the hills too…

For those of you in Madurai or visiting madurai please dont miss the spot…

Who is really SETTLED???

October 22, 2011 / admin / No comments

I got a call from my class mate and a good buddy… But we couldn’t interact frequently owing to career path… What started to be like a courtesy call ended up as an argument as who is settled in our own terms…

At some point in our conversation my friend stated that he is not frequenting me and for school get togehters because he is no settled in life unlike me… I got startled when I heard that from him as my MOM use to compare me with him claiming my friend is settled unlike me…

According to my mom my friend is having a decent job, a decent pay, got married & has got a kid… My mom always screams that I’m not settled like my school buddy…

But when my friend claimed he is not settled like me… I get really shocked… I for sure understood he means monetary status as settled… He feels a person should get married until he is financially independent… He said I’m right in delaying my marriage to get financially independent… My friend strongly feels attaining financial independence is real SETTLED…

Many times my mom use to ask me what am I going to do with all these money without a family… Number of times she advised me to wind my business and take up a job… My parents use to say they were not rich or financially stable when my and my sister was born… For them a person with a family even if he is not financially stable is real SETTLED…

This is a story of true perceptions… I’m seeing a person who is not happy because he is not financially independent thought he has a good family… I’ve seen the experience of another who experienced happiness in family than their financial independence…

Now I’ve to choose or find which perception is suited for me??? Am I SETTLED or not???

This is life

October 17, 2011 / admin / 3 comments

Last couple od days has been a great challenge where it is a test for my patience, emotional control, balance life and profession, handle financial crisis, managing relationship et more…

It was suddenly decided that I’ve to under go an arthroscopy in my right shoulder… Considering the short time I had to wrap all my work on time before taking up the surgery… I was deeply pressurised while trying to balance it… Fortunately doctor has postponed the surgery…

Other great challenge is handling emotions of my parents and controlling my emotions… My parents have become soo desperate to get me married and they has started to add up pressure on me… It is becoming great challenge to handle them and control my emotions…

As always paypal has started messing up things and all our payments got locked which in turn delayed in getting payments… This mess has delayed getting my claims back… I had to manage my finances which was again a great challenge…

There is a good friend of mine with whom there is a ego war happening… I was in a real bad situation when an official obligation was scratching our already fragile personal relationship… But I stood for the interest of my company… But feeling bad for my friend… Hope we both patch up things soon…

I’ve been working on a lot of things in my company… There has been restructuring, expansion, promoting website, developing new products, inducting new services with a new team… It has become a huge burden in the monthly expenditure as well as managing team and team building…

When all the above mentioned things were happening at the same time… Balancing becomes a great challenge… Sometimes I get struck in taking decisions… But I’m happy and enjoying the situation… If I over come this situation it will give me a great moral boost in managing and handling things…
