But I do remember that Mudhalvan was running full house. I did my Engineering in a college in Pondicherry, in the outskirts of Dindivanam bypass. To come to Pondy, we had to take a bus and as the college was 14 Kilo meters away from the city, it would take use 30 minutes to come to Pondy. In our college hostel, we would play music cassettes and that would be a rage all …

1007. My work table at home
A good work desk will play a big part in #workproductivity . In the last two years, I was shifting between three places at regular intervals and I did not have a proper permanent workspace. But recently I was able to set my work table in my house. A lot of effort did go in putting this workspace together. Here is a list of what makes my perfect work setup. 1) Transteel Study desk.

1005. The dark horse of the 1983 world cup
Everyone talks about the 1983 world cup finals where India defeated the mighty West Indies. People also talk about the 175 runs scored by Kapil against Zimbabwe in that world cup. But very few people talk about how India defeated the same West Indian team in the league matches in that same world cup. Facing a mighty Caribbean bowling attack that consisted of the likes of Holding, Marshall, Andy Roberts, Joel Garner and Larry Holmes, the Indians started on a slow pace. Every Indian batsmen made a slow start; but none of them could score more th…
1004. The game with two girls
I started watching the game of football as a kid and I was a big fan of the Brazilian team. Romario and Ronaldo the phenomenon were my favourite footballers. I have also been playing EA FIFA for many years. When I joined Zoho, the foosball tables in the campus caught my attention.

However the tables were always occupied by our employees during lunch hours. Some players literally s…
1003. Einstein vs Raju
Going with the flow. This ultimately seals victory for India. Einstein was born in Germany and he had multiple nationalities and at last, he became a US citizen. But our respected Scientific minister Sellur Raju sir is born and brought up in India. He is our pride and prejudice. He brought Laurels and Hardys to India through his discoveries and national geographical approaches to science and technology. The vanakkam by Einstein lacks strength, courage and moral support. However Raja sir’s vanakkam is sharp, focussed and shows the vigour o…
