Good Human being????

This Saturday evening I thought of having a quite walk along Bellandur- Sarjapur Signal service road. This is my favorite road to go for a walk as it has Nilgiri's Super market , where I buy flax seed, Soy milk and Broken Wheat Bread ( usually in other places we get whole Wheat , but looking at the Nutrients value, this one is good)
While Waling,I spotted a middle aged women and man walking together ( looked like her husband ). She had two plastic bags full of vegetables.One bag had teared and vegetables fallen down suddenly. When I noticed her, she was collecting the vegetables which were lied on the road. I had sympathy for her as normally we don't even touch anything on the road except money( I bet everyone !!). She was not looking happy and but collected the vegetables. They started walking towards sarjapur signal afterward.

In the mean time I stopped near a tree and wandering for some time , again I started after a few minutes. this time I saw the man was collecting the vegetables after some 100 feet's on the road alone, looked like the the Vegetable bag had again teared. This time I saw the lady was walking without waiting to collect the vegetables, but the man was.
She might have been irritated by the Plastic bag or by her husband's inability to support her to live a decent life ? I don't know.
But I saw the man collecting vegetables on his own even though some two and four wheelers were passing by. I should have helped him in collecting vegetables, isn't it?. after all he is a human being who is in need of help.I thought the vegetables are bought by real hard earned money. but I didn't do. I felt ashamed of the character I had.

After all I doubt I ever followed any values in my life????. this simple one is nothing.

But I hope the one who reads this blog may have good human values and respect the other humans.

Varanam Aayiram

I happened to watch a Wonderful Tamil Movie Varanam Aayiram starred by SURYA, directed by Gautham and Music composed by Haris Jayaraj.
The Duo ( Haris and Gautham) already has many feathers in their caps. When we have Surya,then think about it.
I would say that SURYA is the one of the Actors along with Vikram, Karthi and legend KAMAL HASSAN.Only these four looks like actors for me. Others like VIJAY and others are the JUNKIEST in the world.

The movie is about Father - Son relationship. Already we have a Mile Stone movie called "Thavamai Thavamirundhu"directed by Cheran. Its about the Village Father's sacrifices for his Sons. even my Sisters and me need to remember what my father did for us. do we??.The time has to answer.

OK OK . enough. We will come to the blog.

Varanam Aayiram is about a City Father- city Son relationship. They mainly speak in English in their house and always read English Novels.Its mainly about how a father mentally supports his son during the difficult times and how he lets his son to take his own decisions and choose his destiny.
This is the abstract of the movie.

Surya's performance is superb. He plays both Father and Son roles.His six pack body looks terrific and it inspired me to do some exercise(Will I continue??. Time has to answer).
The way he expresses his love and followings her to US are very nice. That San- Francisco Bridge and Mist scene ...Wow..... Lovely...hats off to the Camera man Ratnavel.

I would urge everyone to watch this Wonderful Movie If you are looking for a Good Tamil Movie. Please ignore watching Ajith, Vijay movies. ( they are crap.. if you watch their movies, then you will no longer like Tamil Movies.)

I forgot to talk about an important man( sorry Women !!!).For her knowledge and Courage she can be called as MAN. She deserves a separate blog. But I would like her works be lauded here along with the Movie because she is the Lyrics writter for this movie.She is Poet Tamarai. She is a student of My Engish Prof Edwin Joseph Raj at GCT Coimbatore.He used to say this in our class( GCE Bargur: 2000 - 01 in Ist yr Englsih)
All the songs are wonderful.and I reallly love all those songs. I think one song was written by Muthukumar.

Look at the lyrics from one song

Nenjukkul Peidhidum Maamalai
Neerukul Moolkidum Tammarai
Satendur Maaruthu Vaanilai
Penne un mel pizhai

This is one of the loveliest Songs I have ever heard.

If you understand Tamil then listen to this song in YouTube.
What a Song man.. What a beautiful words.. I think that's why bharathi hailed "Tamil as the Sweetest Language in all the languages he has known" Yes.. Tamil deserves it.
We have KAVI PERARASU.( Mr Vairamuthu ) .. Now we have got KAVI PERARASI.yes TAMARAI is worth to be given this title.I hope that one day she will acclaimed with this title.

Best regards,
Guru.

Recession or Depression

Dear Friends,
Iam not an Economist to write an article about a possible Recession, But as a common Man, I have something to say.

I Welcome the Recession with a big smile.

It may look insane to welcome Recession or Depression.But I would like to state my views, Why I want to have a recession in the coming year.
First of all I would like to say who am I?. Iam a 25 year old, Software Engineer living in Silicon Valley (???) of India with a comfortable Salary.

We can't buy a Flat any more in Bangalore Man. a Decent one cost Rs 30 - 35 Lacs.
When I have travel to my native in a travels ( ex..KPN) it costs me around Rs 800.
When I plan to buy a shoe it cost me Rs 2500 to in a branded show room.
When I think about buying a Good Shirt and Pan, It comes around Rs 2000.
Can I afford these?. definitely not.
These are Price Speculation.

MBA Finance Guys, who are inventing new new Financial Instruments to suck the money out of common Man's Packet and simply put it in their Luxury cars and Houses.
Junk companies like Infosys, Wipro, Satyam who never want to do some meaningful work instead of doing BPO, documentation and doing only bull shit work and always beating the market forecast. Now I want them to beat the market. and the junkies who work there always thinks that They are the pride of India. No they are not (Actually I forgot the Proper Vocabulary)

I want all the Big Developers go bankrupt and brokers loose their own houses too.
The Speculation must stop right now.The Flat which costed 10 Lacs last year costs 20 Lacs this year. I want these people go bankrupt.
All the Retails close down the Stores, and so the reckless spending habits of Software Engineers. These Junks never think about the value of the Money.
So I want a Recession to come to India right away and make everyone to understand the value of the money.

Paul Krugman Wins Nobel for Economics

Hey Friends,

I just read a news about Paul Krugman Winning 2008 Nobel prize for Economics.

My Congratulations for Mr Paul Krugman.

He is awarded for his analysis of how economies of scale can affect trade patterns and the location of economic activity. ( I should read about this ..will I ??????). I salute his Knowledge.

The Hindu publicizes his articles in Editorial page. some months ago I used to think what's this bearded Foreigner doing with The Hindu??. I even thought didn't Hindu get any Indian Intellectual to write a column??. Somehow one day I read his article about Sub- Prime Crisis and I was mesmerized by his words. He has written clearly about the Problem in a simple English ( I would even say that his English is easier than The Hindu) for laymen like me. after wards for last few weeks I never missed any of his Columns.( I just started buying Hindu...Earlier I read the junkest news paper in India.. by this you might have understood... for people who didn't identify....that is Times of India.. Only for glamor Pics and masala news. Except the Accent on Wednesdays,Swaminathan K Ankleshwar Aiyar's articles and some more like Q&A on Sunday Times

Even Today I read his article (Brown does Good) about the Steps taken by the British Government to help the Economy by injecting more capital into the Banking System. He hailed Gordon Brown's decision and questioned Henry Paulson's inability to come with such a plan??.Paul Krugman wrote that even though the Results of Mr Brown's actions are not known, still he leads the Economy in the right direction. Well written Article.

Here I must write something about "The Hindu" too. Iam always proud that its a Chennai based ( Iam from Tamilnadu and most of the Contributors are Tamilians) Newspaper which maintains the high standard English in India with great Intellectual Level.
Most of the time you find it difficult to read the articles because of high standard.
One humorous anecdote comes to my mind here. One day I was reading the Reading comprehension Questions from a GMAT book. I couldn't comprehend properly even after reading twice. After a day I read " The Hindu" Editorial ( extreme left side Column on center Page). Immediately after reading, I was extremely happy and laughed noisily. My Room mate asked me " hey whether anything funny written there?". I told him that 2 days back I read GMAT RC question, I didn't understand anything. Today I read the Hindu Editorial. Even here too I couldn't understand anything. So At last I found a News Paper where to read for GMAT Exam.

One more Incident was When I was watching a Video Interview of a CAT Topper from IIM in You Tube, he mentioned that READ HINDU HINDU HINDU. that's the only way to improve your English. That's what even I am trying to do in these days.

Let me see.. Whether my English improves over a period of time?

Anyway I sincerely thank " The Hindu" for bringing out such wonderful Editorials in the News Paper and giving us a chance to read People like Paul Krugman's articles.


Happy Reading Guys.....
Guru.

Swamionics

Swamionics,

Its been a month I posted a blog. When I was just thinking What should be by next blog.. it was Swamionics.Its not a Dictionary term. It is Swaminathan S A Aiyar + Economics. It became Swamionics.He is an acclaimed Professor and Columnist in Economic Times. I could miss anything but not his article on Sunday Times. If you would like understand the burning economic news in the simplest terms then you should read Swamionics.

I learned a lot about Inflation,Indian Economy and much more. This week the Article was about US bailing out Financila biggies like AIG and Feenie Mac, Freddie Mac and Fennie Mae. He argued that The US govt bailed out them to save the ordinary citizens who bought the loan and insurance from them, not to protect the Wealthy Share holders.because the shares are bought for mere money.He also mentioned that this is no way the same what Indira Gandhi did in early 70s by nationalizing the Indian Companies.Indira wanted the upper hand in the economy not in the welfare of the people.

Even Some days earlier When I read the news of bailout of AIG and others I thought that is the perfect Socialism, Isn't it ?. In my understanding, The Socialism is Government running the companies and sharing the wealth equally among all citizens.US supports Capitalism which runs the companies on its own with out the Governments Intervention. But In a Capitalist Country like USA something unusual happened. Now they are talking about more regulations.So far what did the Best minds of the World ( Americans always feel that they are the best in everything) do?. I think there are thousands of Economists and Analysts are there in US working on this for Quite long time.But Everyone failed miserably. Ok We will leave it.I would ask Americans to try to follow Indian Principles and practices. Even Though we are slow we will win at the last.
There is a famous proverb " Slow and Steady wins the Race".

Don't forget to read Swamionics next time when you read Sunday Times next time.

Jonathan Livingston Seagull

Jonathan Livingston Seagull - This is the latest book I read and one of the most valuable book I have. Its one of the best inspiration I read in the recent times. A small story written about a Seagull who(I admire the character.. so I will use who..not which) wants to do something more than a ordinary gull can do.

Jonathan wants to do more than searching stale fish for food. he wants to learn all kinds of flying techniques and over a period of time he becomes good at aerobatics.
His parents are worried about him.And after some time his Community banishes him and he flies to a far cliff.
He wants to show what a Gull can do with his limitations.But No one listens him. He lives there for quite long time and he has become master in his skills.

From this Part... I learnt that we all have much more capabilities then we think and we are not here simply to earn for life.. We are here to do something more ..to learn new things..explore the knowledge..

On one fine day, he flies to a flock, where every gull wants to learn flying techniques. The Elder there teaches Jonathan various techniques ..like how to stay calm ( I think I forgot exactly what Jonathan learnt here) and earn to be free..

From this part... I learnt that we should love everyone around and stay focused and learning is a continuous process..not a one day affair.

After some time.. he decides to go back to his own flock..with some of his students.
He starts teaching his students in front of his own flock gulls and no one listens them..about what they speak. after some time some of the younger Gulls comes to them and starts learning flying techniques. over few months most of the gulls joins them.. and starts learning flying....

From this part... I learnt that we should give back something to the society where we born and brought up.
This is what some of the Good NRI's and Industrialists are doing now a days. I should also do something to my Village Aruvankattuvalasu where I born and brought up.. .


This is one of the book everyone should read...
Must to have at Home Library.....................
you should go through http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jonathan_Livingston_Seagull to know more about the novel

Tale of why Japanese are always on the find of the best....

Today Morning a Nice Article has been forwarded by a friend of mine ( my First Boss). I feel that it deserves to be posted in my blog.

Happy Reading....
-Guru.

Tale of why Japanese are always on the find of the best....


The Japanese have always loved fresh fish. But the waters close to Japan have not held many fish for decades. So to feed the Japanese population, fishing boats got bigger and went farther than ever. The farther the fishermen went, the longer it took to bring in the fish. If the return trip took more than a few days, the fish were not fresh.

The Japanese did not like the taste. To solve this problem, fishing companies installed freezers on their boats. They would catch the fish and freeze them at sea. Freezers allowed the boats to go farther and stay longer.

However, the Japanese could taste the difference between fresh and frozen and they did not like frozen fish. The frozen fish brought a lower price. So fishing companies installed fish tanks. They would catch the fish and stuff them in the tanks, fin to fin. After a little thrashing around, the fish stopped moving. They were tired and dull, but alive.

Unfortunately, the Japanese could still taste the difference. Because the fish did not move for days, they lost their fresh-fish taste. The Japanese preferred the lively taste of fresh fish, not sluggish fish.
So how did Japanese fishing companies solve this problem? How do they get fresh-tasting fish to Japan? If you were consulting the fish industry, what would you recommend?

.....As soon as you reach your goals, such as finding a wonderful mate, starting a successful company, paying off your debts or whatever, you might lose your passion. You don't need to work so hard so you relax. You experience the same problem as lottery winners who waste their money, wealthy heirs who never grow up and bored homemakers who get addicted to prescription drugs. Like the Japanese fish problem, the best solution is simple. In the Early 50's, L Ron Hubbard, the Founder of Scientology, observed: "Man thrives, oddly enough, only in the presence of a challenging environment".

The Benefits of a Challenge: The more intelligent, persistent and competent you are, the more you enjoy a good problem. If your challenges are the correct size, and if you are steadily conquering those challenges, you are happy. You think of your challenges and get energized. You are excited to try new solutions. You have fun. You are alive!

How Japanese Fish Stay Fresh: To keep the fish tasting fresh, the Japanese fishing companies still put the fish in the tanks. But now they add a small shark to each tank. The shark eats a few fish, but most of the fish arrive in a very lively state. The fish are challenged.

Recommendations:
Instead of avoiding challenges, jump into them. Beat the heck out of them. Enjoy the game. If your challenges are too large or too numerous, do not give up. Failing makes you tired. Instead, reorganize. Find more determination, more knowledge, more help. If you have met your goals, set some bigger goals. Once you meet your personal or family needs, move onto goals for your group, the society, even mankind.

Don't create success and lie in it. You have resources, skills and abilities to make a difference." So, put a shark in your tank and see how far you can really go!

LIFE is beautiful

Life is beautiful.. Isn't it??.
It took long time for me to understand the truth.Leave me...
This blog is to praise the Movie Life is Beautiful and to request everyone who ever reads this blog to watch that movie.
This is the nicest movie .. i have ever seen.
Its about a life of a Jew Man and his family. He is a jolly man lives with his friend and old uncle. He falls in love with a beautiful school teacher and gets married to her. he runs a small Book shop and lives happily and gets a nice kid.
When they are living happily,suddenly they will be taken to a camp controlled by German Army and both of them will be doing factory work. This Guy will hide his son somehow in the camp and tried to save his Son's Life. He will be telling his son as this camp life is a Game.. once they score 1000 points ..he will get TANK as first prize. His Son will listen to what ever this says. He will hide under the Beds ..where they sleep in the night....Before his marriage he used to work in a hotel as waiter. where He met a Doctor..who will become his friend. In the Camp. the same doctor will come to check the Jews. The Doctor will help this Guy.. and makes this to work as a waiter in the camp. He will hide his Son there too. He will be continuing this for some months. Every time his Son asks a Question.. he will tell him that so far we have scored 600 points.. if you hide from the Cops u will get 40 Additional paoints..some things like this ..he will be keep on telling to his son. One day the war is over. That night he wants to find out his wife and along with her he wants to escape.That time he asks his son to hide in a small wodden box and tells him that we have 940 points..if you hide here safely till tomorrow morning we will get 60 points and we will win and " you should come out only when there is calm outside". He will try to find out his wife and caught by the German Army. He will be shot dead. The next day morning..he will come out when there is no sound and standing infront of the building.
now a American Tank Comes and this ltttle boy is just standing there withour fear. the small boy shouts that We WON..We WON..
he will be taken by the soldier and on the way he finds out his Mother.
There too he happily sayd that We Won.. We Won with out knowing that its a lie his father told him and with out knowing that his father is killed..

That is the sacrfice a father did to his Son..

Tears were coming out of my eyes when the movie ended.
What a touching story????.The man takes his life very humorously what ever the problem he faces...he brings up his son so well with diginity and honestly.



This is the time to remember my father for all the things he did to me.
For the boy... His father saved him from life tragedy and for 5 to 6 years. but my father did till i was 20. He had dedicated his entire life for me and my sisters.
Do we remember him?. Are we repaying him??.
Are we really making the difference in our lives he wanted???
I dont know the answer. I don't think Except money I got nothing I wanted to get...

How do I ??

Hi Readers,
I do read many blogs, in which they share their ideas or provide Info about something new or they write valuable comments about something.
But I feel that Iam the only Guy who writes something waste.
Ok .. let me come back to the waste stuff I wanted to write......

Some time back I wrote about good habits. Forget about it. I got a much bigger problem in the life.
I don't know how to control anger???. That is my Biggest Enemy in what ever things I do . I wasted many years in anger and frustration.
Need to find some solid way to control all these. We will see how it goes...

one more thing... I have decided to learn Guitar from this Saturday and would like to see how good Iam in learning something new.

See.. even Iam writing this blog at office time.
and I wanted to go for jogging. That continued for a week or two. after wards ????????/

and build a good reading habit...which would enhance my knowledge in diversified fields.
This also needs to be taken.

I am trying to rebuild my faith in me.

only GOD can help me.. I believe..

3 MISTAKES OF MY LIFE

This is not about the mistakes I committed in my life . If I have to count them.. they are countless.. Infinite.
Its about the Book by Chetan Bhagat I read. I love his books .
They are wonderful.
It makes me addictive. I get deep in to the book and starts thinking about the characters.. when I am not reading it.
Probably this is one of the book I completed so soon.
I have hell lot of technical books which I haven't even read 10 pages for years.

Its a wonderful fiction book talks about 3 friends.
one wants to become a businessman.another one is a cricket lover. Another one is helping them to set up a Sports shop in a temple complex where his father is a priest and his uncle is a trustee.
Then Businessman falls in love with Cricket Lover's Sister and have affair too. Temple trustee wants all these 3 to part of his Hinduthuva activities. Cricket Lover coaches to a Muslim Boy who has in born talent in hitting the ball to boundaries.. In the mean time earth quake comes and shakes their proposed new shop.
At last Godhra train accident in which Hindus are killed.( trustee's son is killed There).He want to take revenge and wants to kill the Muslim boy. All the 3 Heroes of us saved him. but the Temple Guy is killed in the fight.
As the Cricket lover comes to know about his Sister's love .. he gets separated from his Friend.
They separates their shop and runs their business separately. After a year or two... this Business man Friend tries to commit suicide, but will be saved.
and the friends meet at last and lovers join hands...

Happy Ending....

A wonderful book to read.

I wish If Chetan bhagt can write a book with out the FOUR LETTER bad word???. even some of my Colleagues pointed out. Because a good book should not be stamped as a Adult book.
We should not compare out culture with Western as there alll the books will have those bad word.

Any way I enjoyed the book?? What about you??

one more funny thing is ..
As soon as My Colleagues saw this book in my office cubic...they changed the title to " 3 Mistakes of Gurusamy's life" and pointed out 3 mistakes.
Recruiting me in to my company ( SYMBOL - MOTOROLA)
working under my Manager
Working in my Present Team ( MCD).

It was fun for 2 to 3 days.

Guys.. After R.K Narayan.. Chetan Bhagat is the author I admire for his writing skills ( Simple English and easy to understand the meaning)

Happy Reading !!!!

KURUVI

One of the worst movies of Vijay..

Guys..
Last Sunday I watched Vijay's latest Movie KURUVI which means bird in genral in Tamil.
My Friend SUMU's father had come to Bangalore ti visit him. We had been to TOTAL Madiwala then we decided to visit BALAJI Vivek Nagar for KURUVI movie. We thought Director Dharani will not make us to regret our decision. Even while traveling SUMU's fahter was very much reluctant and wanted to come back to our house and take rest. But I told him that dad.. come and see how Bangalore's theater is and the response for a Tamil Movie.
In Theater there was another HIGH drama happened. BALAJI is the only theater in Bangalore I see..where theater owners themselves selling Block tickets. We paid Rs 100 for a BALCONY ( original Prices Rs 60). Another Guy was asking RS 100 for ordinary seats...
I tried to use my Intelligence ( ????.. I don't know whether its there or not), but I failed to impress the GUY and paid Rs 600 for 6 tickets.

Thent he Movie started.
Usually I was never a FAN of any Actor in Tamil. I didn't even Watched SIVAJI in Theater.
I like Rajini and Ajith, Surya and vikram.But I started supporting Ajith now a days.
After 5 minutes of watching the movie,I thought If the movie movie moves like this till the end I would become VIJAY's Fan. Becaue The first 5 min was full of fun and I really enjoyed it.
Eventhough I generally don't like VIJAY.. I can not keep on neglecting him.. A GUY who is next to RAJINI in Box Office Collection.

But I felt I was wrong in my decision and decided to be with Ajith ( THALA ) here after.
Till he becomes KURUVI in the film it was good. then everything has gone bad.
I thought at least after Interval movie will be good.
But it was full of Thrisha worst dances and a Typicl Telugu Movie. Iam not cursing Telugu movies here. i do like some of the good movies there too.
When the movie is moving very seriously at Chennai or at a village. I dont like hero and heroine dancing at Africa or Malaysia or wearing skimy clothes.

That is too some scenes are exact copy of a Telugu movie. Good Villians are also given worst roles to play.

Its not at all a movie to watch for.
Even the songs fail to impress the viewers. normally in Vijay's movies will have Good Songs and great dance performances.That is also missing here.

KURUVI is SICK.

Please avoid KURUVI...
I hope only god should take another form and save us from making mistakes like this.
We will eagerly wait for DASAVATHARAM to impress..

With Love,
Guru

Train to Erode from Palani ????????

Friends,
I just read a news about a news about demanding a train track between Erode from Palani.
I support this demand and decided to post a news in my blog.
Palani is an important Temple for almost half of tamilnadu Hindus.Its a town from early 1900's.
But after the emergence of Tirupur, for places like Madurai and Theni, most of the buses had been introduced via Dharapuram, Tirupur. I don't know exact distance for the routes.
Palani has one meter gauge train track between Pollachi and Dindigul . Some Passenger trains pass every day in palani ferrying pilgrims to Palani temple. Most of the Kerala pilgrims use train to visit the temple.
One more interesting fact about palani Railway Station is Its a good place for College students to study in the evening. I heard many of my Friend's friends used to study there. Its calm and spacious and creates a good atmosphere for students who do not have study rooms in their houses.

Palani lost its charm in the last 50 years. But Its regaining ite name in the last few years. Its the highest revenue generating Temple in Tamilnadu. Its Famous festivals are Thai Poosam and Panguni Uthiram. Thai Poosam is a major Festival in Singapore and Malasiya,and Its a public Holiday there.

and more bad news is that Palani is a MP constituency since 1951.But it has been removed and merged with Dindigul. One Good thing is now Kodaikanal will be with Palani MLA constituency.
its good as Palani will get good amount of Fund as both Kodaikanal and Palani are important Tourist Places in tamilnadu.

I have totally forgotten my Title.we will come back to that.
There are lot many requests from Traders in Dharapuram, Kangeyam and in Palani for a train between Palani and Erode. It will help movement of Goods must faster and help people in travelling. They are demanding this for last 50 years. Even the survay has been done and the reports have been submitted to the Government.But the Government is hesitant as they are thinking that it may not generate the revenue. I don't know about this feeling. We need to really wait and see ..how things will be .

now Palani M. P Mr S. K Karvendhan is starting a Padhayatra from Erode to Palani from Today. He is a Gentleman and an respected Lawyer.He is holding some imprtant positions in Bar council of India too.
He has spoken about the Railway track and started the Padhayatra.

I wish him Good Luck !!!

I hope that the Government will allocate money for this Route in the coming Railway Budget.

If it becomes true, Guys like me in Bangalore will have one more reason to cheer.
We will have one more mode of transport to Palani. That is too tireless and nice Journey.

Padhayathra to Palani - Part 1

On last sunday I did padhayathra to palani from Oddanachataram. (padhayathra means walking to a Temple in bare foot). Usually for Palani temple in the Tamil month of Thai, for Thai Poosam festival laks of devotees used to walk from different parts of Tamilnadu. Usually the crowd exceeds more than 10 laks for the grand 10 day festival.For the first time in my life i have decided to walk almost 25 Kms to palani temple from oddanchataram. its because one of my friend Saravanan walks to palani temple for the last 4 to 5 years.I have decided to join them this year and it was an wonderful experience.We started around 10 PM at KulanthaiVelaper Temple and reached Palani at 6 AM next day ( Monday).

Terms I used here are my own understandings. Please forgive me I misunderstood any of the important terms.

I will continue in next blog
