“Memories warm you up from the inside. But they also tear you apart.”
these few days i've been reading this one, I totally felt myself tagging along with Nakata & Hoshino in Takamatsu
NOTE: So VCK’s Thirumavalavan was to announce his decision whether to support Vijay or not last evening. Then it became this morning 10 am, 12 noon, now pushed to 4 pm. When a 2 MLA so-called ‘social justice’ party can’t take a decision, then you know the pressures and bargaining behind the scenes. Mandate was surely not for this. Any guesses who is the puppeteer? Sordid demo-cash-crazy TN style!🙏😡
தவறு அரசின் பக்கம் என்றுதானே அதிமுக சார்பில் ரூ.25 லட்சம் கொடுத்தீர்கள்?
இயற்கையான மரணம் என்றால் கொடுத்திருப்பீர்களா?

A company that has $1 billion cash, which is about 1.5 times its annual revenue, and is actually still growing at a decent 20% rate and making a cash profit, laying off 12-13% of its workforce should not expect any loyalty from its employees ever. And to add insult to injury, when it can afford $400 million in a stock buy back.
I can understand the unfortunate reality of layoffs when a business is struggling or declining and making a loss. This is not that situation, this is naked greed, nothing less.
Here is a critical question to its leadership: don't you have the vision and imagination to invest $400 million in another line of business where you can deploy those people you hired but you don't want anymore? Are there no such opportunities in tech? Are you so lacking in curiosity, vision and imagination? Are you so lacking in empathy?
This behavior, sadly, has become all too common in the US corporate world and we are importing it in India. It has only resulted in large scale employee cynicism in the US and we are importing that too.
This is why choose to remain private. We put our customers and employees first. Shareholders should come last.
1999, May21 : Chennai Chepauk Stadium.
Rahul scored a century..!
But a Pakistan player Saeed Anwar scored 194!
We lost the match..But
Throughout the match "Chennai" crowd stood up and clapped for the Saeed Anwar's great innings of his life.
The other Pakistan players also played well & hammered the ball across the ground..
The Chennai crowd kept cheering & clapping for them.
We the people of Tamil Nadu know what sports and sportsmanship are!
We never fail to appreciate talent even if it is with our political enemies!
As our Anna (C.N.Annadurai) said..
"The Smell of Jasmine remains the same even if it is blooming at our enemies place!"
After the prize ceremony..Entire Pakistan Team came on a rally around the ground and thanked the audience of chennai!
Its a History!!
A thousand Wankade may come.
A thousand Eden Gardens may come.
But they aren't worth one Chennai Chepauk!
I believe that people who are living in a particular place define the quality of the place.
In rare cases Places define people too.
In Tamil Nadu it's the 1st case.
The people defined the place.
That's the difference between the North and South.
Tamil Nadu can handle anyone in a dignified manor!
Because this is the culture of our land!
The Dharma of Tamil Nadu is to protect the people who are oppressed/low!
Tamils & Tamil Nadu knew that very well!

"When my friend booked an Uber for me on the last day, this lady came to pick me up. After the ride started, I noticed a kid sleeping in the front seat. I could not resist asking:
Ma'am, is that your daughter?
I have always held the view that before I ask if our employees are loyal to our company, I ask if our company has been loyal to our employees.
Loyalty can never be demanded, it is a gift bestowed that we must be thankful for.
