My Father and my self were in the Apollo Hospitals (Greams road) for his master health-check up (it was mandatory for employees working in NLC to have their health check-up to be done on a periodic basis).
After all the tests, we were waiting for the reports, in the mean time, we had our brunch at the cafeteria itself. While I was about to pay the bill, my father got notice of my purse (the own which I bought after joining "Anjana software" costing around 350 Rs, before one year) and he got strike of something and he took it from his pocket and showed me a Black leather purse and said to me that, "hey senthil, I bought this today at the Guindy platform, After a long bargain I got this for 75 Rs, It's too costly da".
He never asked me about my Purse, when I bought that, he never ever asked about it's price"
I really felt ashamed at that moment and felt how selfish I was, I had never thought of presenting him, which would be more uselful to him.
What I try to mean here is "If 75 Rs seems too costly to him, then what about the few thousands we (hope I can use "WE" here) spend just like that, when we hang out with our friends".
Looking for the right opportunity to present him a really "COSTLY" gift in the near futute.

Fw Mails
Usually, forwarded mails create irritation on many occassions, But some mails are truely touching and this section willbe specially for those mails.... Here comes the first one..........
This scene took place on a British Airways flight between Johannesburg, South Africa & London.
A white woman, about 50 years old, was seated next to a black man. Very disturbed by this, she called the air hostess. "You obviously do not see it then?" she asked. "You placed me next to a black man. I did not agree to sit next to someone from such a repugnant group. Give me an alternative seat." "Be calm please," the hostess replied. "Almost all the places on this flight are taken. I will go to see if another place is available." The hostess went away & then came back a few minutes later. "Madam, just as I thought, there are no other available seats in Economy Class. I spoke to the captain & he informed me that there is also no seat in Business Class. All the same, we still have one place in First Class." Before the woman could say anything, the hostess continued. "It is not usual for our company to permit someone from Economy Class to sit in First Class. However, given the circumstances, the captain feels that it would be scandalous to make someone sit next to someone so disgusting." The Hostess turned to the black guy, & said, "Therefore, Sir, if you would like to, please collect your hand luggage, a seat awaits you in First Class." At that moment, the other passengers, who'd been shocked by what they had just witnessed, stood up & applauded. This is a true story. If you are against racism, please try to spread this, whenever you get the chance...
WELL DONE, British Airways!!

My First Visit to a LIVE Concert
Sunday Morning: 6: 45 (20th April 2008)
The TOI was stuck in our rooms door handle (as usual the paper was voluminous... I bet no one can
even go for a quick glance of all pages)
My conscious and subconscious mind was searching for AR Rahman's Free entry pass details (because for the past 6 days they were providing it and I had the paper cuttings of the first two days)
(As it happens to me often...This time too it happened)
"Thanks for the overwhelming response in ARR Chennai Changing notes concert and the House is full now" - Said TOI
I was a bit disappointed, but never let myself down.
9:45 am
Called TOI office at chamiers road, Nandanam, 044-24342121
"Sir, is there any chance of getting tickets for ARR concert..."
"If you have the paper cuttings, we r ready to provide u, was the reply...."
Got my friends bike.... reached Nandanam in the next 15 minutes...
Got the tickets.... But I had also other assignment of searching for a good house for my newly married Andhra Colleague and we got one house too behind kasi theatre...It nearly took me to settle down only by 5:45 PM: (I loved to have a small sleep that day AN, so that I can enjoy the concert to the fullest)
Form there, I went directly to Koyambedu and my friend reached over there and we two started only 6:15 form there
The show was to start at 6:30pm as the invitations said.
To a huge surprise the whole road which was from Koyambedu to Aminjakarai was blocked, as doubted, every single guy from 6 to 60's had their passes in their hand..
When we reached over there by 6:45PM the Lathiwalas (aka police.... when they threaten us they get this name) the gates of St. George was closed and said that, no parking facilities were there and as they were not able to Control the crowd, they had to restrict us and though many had the passes they were not allowed.
Myself and my friend, were determined and got the ray of hope, when few of our ancestors where jumping over the Schools compound walls.... we parked the vehicle in a nearby hotel and decided to take the same route...
To our surprise, the Main gate was opened for few minutes and we managed to get inside... To describe this
Situation, it was really like the bulls running as fast on the streets of Spain....
TICKETS? Who bothered about it, they were unable to control the crowd (50,000++++)...
I was able to hear the beats and voice or ARR getting louder and louder when I was nearing towards the standing gallery.
I can still hear it; it was from "ALAIPAYUTHE".... The song that, I heard from the first was "Vaaji... Vaaji"
from the BOSS movie SHIVAJI, where Hariharan and Madhusree were singing ( & dancing!!#$%)...Though Madhusree was beautiful in a Long Skirt made of Black and silver, HH stole the show with a black and black skin tight Tee of course sporting his ponytail.
Then they were followed by Shankar Mahadevan, Javed Ali, Neethu Kumar(Bar so re mega mega...What a song!) Rehana(ARR's sister for Chaiyya Chaiyya.. Though Javed could not even reach Shukwinders magic, it was enjoyable), Legend with his master piece from Dil se (Dil se re... Dil se re...), followed by Naresh Iyers (Rooba roo roshini.. from RDB)
Karthik's and everybodys favorite from BOYS (Enakkoru girlfriend venumada...) (Particularly boys were very happy to hear this song and they sang along loudly….to grab some attention of the opposites.)
Shivamani’s Drums were the highlight; he used the Suitcase and 20 litre water containers to give a different sound….
And the Show was continuing, but my other half of the active mind was still with the Bike, which we parked in the Hotel… So we thought to leave the concert with some disappointment….
Hopefully we had our bike over there and headed straight to our room…
Eagerly waiting for another Concert................

BLESSED ARE THOSE...
"Blessed are those
Who Donate Blood
But, Only if it is a
SAFE BLOOD"
These were the exact wordings of a poster, found in the walls of the APOLLO HOSPITALS, in Greams Road, Chennai. My eyes were going through these words, when I was lying on the bed and donating blood to one of my friends relative on 25th April 2008 morning 10:45 AM.
I'm not here to preach others or boast my self about donating blood. I dont know, how I got this habit of donating blood to others. Till day I have done it for nearly 6 times.
I can still remember the day, when I was doing my third year Engineering at Arunai Engineering College. Tiruvannamalai. I went for the Blood Donation conducted by "DHANVANDRI BLOOD BANK & RESEARCH CENTRE" t-nagar, Chennai-17, conducted in our college campus. All my friends teased me as usual by seeing my physique ( I was just 51.5 Kgs) the doctor warned me and threatened me, that he would not allow me. But, I never let my self down (i still dont know, whether I volunteered to donate or to escape from my friends teasers). I compelled the doctor to
take it from me...and I assured him that i, got the guts to with stand the outcome.
My urge to start this blog was purely, based on a really nice human being, to whom I'm thankful at this moment.
I hope to make this blog a better place, for every one who visits it. I would also love to have your comments and opinions to improvise the blog.
With love,
Senthilkumar Chellaiyya.
NOTE: I'm ready to donate blood, whenever (it is medically possibly by me). Please find the below mail for further details about me.
