After several futile attempts at linking ragas ( carnatic songs ) to film songs, finally i was able to identify this particular raaga in film songs.That is SAHANA.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight:bold;&quot;&gt;SAHANA&lt;/span&gt;:&lt;br /&gt;This melodious raaga evokes mild morbidness and soothing and calmes the listener.Watch this masterpiece from UNNAL MUDIYUM THAMBI.

Day, M.D., an assistant professor of dermatology at New York University.&lt;br /&gt;1.&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight:bold;&quot;&gt; What causes foot odor?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The fix: Since dry feet equals odor-free feet, wear absorbent cotton socks with shoes made from breathable materials, like canvas and leather, and sprinkle Zeasorb - an over-the-counter drying powder - into your shoes every morning. Three nights a week, pour a pot of tea made with several regular (not herbal) tea bags into a basin, then soak your feet for five to 10 minutes. The tannic acid in tea temporarily inhibits sweat production. See your doctor if your feet are also red, swollen or scaly to make sure a bacterial or fungal infection isn&#39;t causing the smell.&lt;br /&gt;2.&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight:bold;&quot;&gt; Why does my breath smell despite constant brushing?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Although brushing will help prevent cavities (so don&#39;t stop scrubbing), it can only mask bad breath, since the problem really lies within your throat and tongue, not your teeth. When the bacteria in your mouth lose access to oxygen (which can happen when you use alcohol-based mouthwashes, take certain prescription medications for depression or high blood pressure or simply sit with your mouth shut for a long time), they emit smelly sulfur compounds, says Harold Katz, D.D.S., founder of The California Breath Clinic in Los Angeles; this is the same principle at work with foot odor. Eating garlic and onion also makes your breath stink because they contain - surprise - those same sulfur compounds.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight:bold;&quot;&gt;The fix&lt;/span&gt;: Contrary to popular belief, a tongue scraper won&#39;t banish bad breath - sulfur compounds cannot be removed manually. Instead, keep your mouth oxygenated by drinking water throughout the day and using an over-the-counter oral rinse with chlorine dioxide in both the A.M. and the P.M. to neutralize sulfur compounds. (Try TheraBreath Oral Rinse.) Chewing on oxygen-rich vegetables, like parsley and celery, can also diminish odors. If these tricks don&#39;t work, see your dentist.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Source : &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.webmd.com/skin-beauty/features/your-12-most-embarrassing-beauty-questions-answered&quot;&gt;WebMd.com&lt;/a&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://aswingarimella.blogspot.com/feeds/8598561747776492571/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment/fullpage/post/8293805067334446489/8598561747776492571?isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8293805067334446489/posts/default/8598561747776492571'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8293805067334446489/posts/default/8598561747776492571'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://aswingarimella.blogspot.com/2008/01/two-most-embrassing-body-problems-and.html' title='Two most embrassing Body problems and their fix'/><author><name>Anonymous</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/13205800325290882420</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='https://img1.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8293805067334446489.post-1886979660501878426</id><published>2007-12-11T20:38:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2008-01-26T01:10:28.096-08:00</updated><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="miracle man"/><title type='text'>Miracle man</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.fortunewatch.com/miracle-man-walks-again/&quot;&gt;Miracle Man&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He survived against all the odds; now Peng Shulin has astounded doctors by learning to walk again.When his body was cut in two by a lorry in 1995, it was little short of a Medical that he lived. It took a team of nearly 20 doctors to save his life.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Skin was grafted from his head to seal his torso – but the legless Mr Peng was left only 78cm (2ft 6in) tall. Bedridden for years, doctors in China had little hope that he would ever be able to live anything like a normal life again.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I know what you are thinking now, “Well Mr Robin Bal, what’s all this got to do with Personal Finance, Investing, Debt Elimination etc.” A LOT, go on continue reading, get the message.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Read&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But recently, he began exercising his arms, building up the strength to carry out everyday chores such as washing his face and brushing his teeth. Doctors at the China Rehabilitation Research Centre in Beijing found out about Mr Peng’s plight late last year and devised a plan to get him up walking again.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;They came up with an ingenious way to allow him to walk on his own, creating a sophisticated egg cup-like casing to hold his body with two bionic legs attached to it. He has been taking his first steps around the center with the aid of his specially adapted legs and a resized walking frame. Mr Peng, who has to learn how to walk again, is said to be delighted with the device.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Call it Self Confidence, Determination, Personal Development, Goal Achievement or whatever, all these have a lot to do with all departments of your life, leave alone Finances.</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml'

---------truncated-------------&lt;br /&gt;
&quot;இல்லை, இல்லை; என்னைப் போலவே அந்த நீர்ச் சுழலில் அகப்பட்டுக் கொண்டு திண்டாடிய சில கயல் மீன்களைக் கண்டேன். அந்தக் கயல் மீன்கள் இந்தச் சோழ நாட்டுப் பெண்களின் கண்களை நினைவூட்டின. நதியின் நீர்ச் சுழலில் அகப்பட்டுக் கொண்டவனாவது எப்படியோ தப்பிப் பிழைக்கலாம்; ஆனால் இந்தச் சோழ நாட்டுப் பெண்களின் விழிச் சுழலில் அகப்பட்டுக் கொண்டவன் ஒரு காலும் தப்பிப் பிழைக்க முடியாது என்று எண்ணிக் கொண்டேன்!....&quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&quot;இம்மாதிரி பெண்களைக் குற்றம் கூறி பழி சொல்வதில் சிலருக்கு ஒரு பெருமை; தாங்கள் செய்யும் தவறுக்குப் பெண்களின் மீது குற்றம் சொல்வது ஆண் பிள்ளைகளின் வழக்கம்...&quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&quot;அந்த வழக்கத்தைத்தான் நானும் கைப்பற்றினேன். அதில் என்ன தவறு?&quot; என்றான் வந்தியத்தேவன்.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
அச்சமயம் அரண்மனைக்குள்ளேயிருந்து இனிய குழலோசை கேட்டது. அதைத் தொடர்ந்து தண்டைச் சிலம்புகளின் கிண்கிணி ஒலியும், மத்தளத்தின் முழக்கமும் கலந்து வந்தன. பின்னர், இளம் பெண்களின் இனிய குரல்கள் பல சேர்ந்து ஒலித்தன. சிலப்பதிகாரக் காவியத்தில் உள்ள பின்வரும் ஆய்ச்சியர் குரவைப் பாடலைப் பாடினார்கள்:--&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&quot;&lt;span style=&quot;color: rgb(255 , 0 , 0);&quot;&gt;கன்று குணிலாக் கனி உதிர்த்த மாயவன்&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;color: rgb(255 , 0 , 0);&quot;&gt;   இன்றுநம் ஆனுள்வருமேல் அவன் வாயில்&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;color: rgb(255 , 0 , 0);&quot;&gt;   கொன்றையந் தீங்குழல் கேளாமோ தோழீ!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;color: rgb(255 , 0 , 0);&quot;&gt;   கொல்லையஞ் சாரற் குருந்தொசித்த மாயவன்&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;color: rgb(255 , 0 , 0);&quot;&gt;   எல்லைநம் ஆனுள் வருமேல் அவன் வாயில்&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;color: rgb(255 , 0 , 0);&quot;&gt;   முல்லையந் தீங்குழல் கேளாமோ தோழீ&lt;/span&gt;!&quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
பாடல் முடியும் வரையில் குந்தவையும் வந்தியத்தேவனும் அதன் இனிமையில் ஈடுபட்டுத் தம் வசமிழந்து நின்றார்கள். மறுபடியும் வாத்திய முழக்கத்துடன் ஆடல் தொடங்கியதற்கு அறிகுறியாகத் தண்டைச் சதங்கைகளின் ஒலி எழுந்தது.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&quot;அரண்மனையில் குரவைக் கூத்து நடக்கிறது போலும்! கடம்பூர் மாளிகையில் குரவைக் கூத்து ஒன்று பார்த்தேன். அது முற்றும் வேறுவிதமாயிருந்தது!&quot; என்றான் வல்லவரையன்.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&quot;ஆம்; என் தோழிகள் குரவைக் கூத்துப் பயில்கிறார்கள். சீக்கிரத்தில் என்னைக் காணாமல் தேடத் தொடங்கி விடுவார்கள். தாங்கள் வந்த காரியம் என்ன?&quot; என்று இளைய பிராட்டி குந்தவை தேவி கேட்டாள்.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&quot;இதோ நான் வந்த காரியம்; தங்கள் தமையனாரின் ஓலை; எத்தனையோ அபாயங்களுக்குத் தப்பி, நீர்ச் சுழல்கள் - விழிச் சுழல்களிலிருந்து காப்பாற்றி, இதைக் கொண்டு வந்தேன்!&quot; என்று வல்லவரையன் கூறி ஓலையை எடுத்து நீட்டினான்.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Look at the attention to detail that Artist Maniyam Selvan would bring to fit this wonderful portrayal of kalki.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.sruthiloga.esmartweb.com/images/ps/5.jpg&quot; onblur=&quot;try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}&quot;&gt;&lt;img alt=&quot;&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; src=&quot;https://www.sruthiloga.esmartweb.com/images/ps/5.jpg&quot; style=&quot;cursor: pointer; display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; width: 320px;&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
well , the fans of Ponniyin selvan have special Vandhiyadhevan moment. I would put myself &lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: bold;&quot;&gt;Shamelessly&lt;/span&gt; in vandhiyadhevan `s  position as he would be from the Thondai mandalam ( present kanchi area , so do I)in times where he would move from thodaimandalam to chola heartland. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
PS has mesmerized generations.  whenever we travel from madras ( chennai ) to Trichy in the damned passenger train we all would say, that this was the route that our hero Vandhiyadhevan travelled to reach tanjore from kanchi. [:D] [:D] [:D].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
and I am not against  making this as a serial or in any visual form. But, Seriously, this would definitely hurt the intricate and intriguing ,mystic beauty that comes from imagination. History gives us great examples of how  wonderful classics, epics in written form could not match that same beauty in its visual form. Ofcourse we do have exceptions like Harry Potter. If there would be a careful choice of artists that can fit the characters of PS , i am all for it.&lt;/div&gt;

எப்போது காண்பேன்?&quot; என்று அவன் இதயம் ஏங்கித் தவித்துக் கொண்டிருந்தது. ஆதி மனிதனைப் படைத்த அதே சமயத்தில் இறைவன் ஆதி ஸ்திரீயையும் படைத்தார். மலையின் மற்றொரு பக்கத்துச் சாரலில் அவள் வசித்து வந்தாள். பசிக்கு உணவும், தாகத்துக்குச் சுனை நீரும், தங்கியிருக்க மலைக்குகையும் அவளுக்கு இருந்தன. வெளிப்படையாகப் பார்த்தால் ஒரு குறையும் இல்லை. ஆனால் உள்ளத்தினுள்ளே ஒரு தீப்பிழம்பு ஜுவாலை விட்டு அவளை எரித்துக் கொண்டிருந்தது. ஏதோ ஒரு சக்தி அவளைக் கவர்ந்து இழுத்துக் கொண்டிருந்தது. அச்சக்தி எங்கிருந்து அவளை இழுக்கிறது, எந்தத் திசையை நோக்கி இழுக்கிறது என்பது ஒன்றும் தெரியவில்லை.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;  ஆதி மனிதனுக்கும் ஆதி ஸ்திரீக்கும் இடையில் ஒரு பெரிய மலை ஓங்கி நின்று ஒருவரையருவர் சந்திக்க முடியாமல் தடுத்துக் கொண்டிருந்தது.</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://aswingarimella.blogspot.com/feeds/2237679263219305933/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment/fullpage/post/8293805067334446489/2237679263219305933?isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8293805067334446489/posts/default/2237679263219305933'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8293805067334446489/posts/default/2237679263219305933'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://aswingarimella.blogspot.com/2007/09/romance-at-its-best.html' title='Romance At Its Best-I'/><author><name>Anonymous</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/13205800325290882420</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='https://img1.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8293805067334446489.post-3416245838287370558</id><published>2007-09-08T13:05:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2016-12-17T22:16:38.291-08:00</updated><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="New York"/><title type='text'>New York Trip-III</title><content type='html'>&lt;div dir=&quot;ltr&quot; style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot; trbidi=&quot;on&quot;&gt;
Our aim was to go to SARAVANA BHAVAN, but since that happened to be a labor day weekend and in this food craze city, we were not able to find a seat and were forced to check other restaurant.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
We chose Banana Leaf, and man what an ambrosia that was. I , a hardcore lacto-vegetarian, devoured on the South Indian Veggie thali meals. Guna and Hari gulped the chicken pakora, feasted on the chicken briyani and lamb.I know for sure, that those dead animals rested in  peace in their stomachs &amp;nbsp;😆😆😛😜.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
After a heavy meal, &amp;nbsp;I wanted my comical portrait. &amp;nbsp;The artist tried hard to make comical sense of my face and i think he failed miserably. It was neither exact nor comical. It was a disastrous. Then, we went to the TIMES SQUARE. with those glittering lights and advertisements , we seemed to be staring at flat screen TVs everywhere.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: bold;&quot;&gt;Aswin and Guna at the TIMES SQUARE&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Overall, we thoroughly enjoyed our trip.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Such a pleasant drive it has been on I-80 route from NJ to Chicago. we pit stopped to munch some sandwiches and pizzas  near ohio turnpike, and then headed on straight to downtown Chicago.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
with a slight glitch to find Union station and finally succeed at it , Guna signed me off from chicago union station. I took my favorite mega bus to reach St.Louis and then to jeff city and then to columbia on Tuesday afternoon.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The amtrak journey from St.Louis to Jeffcity, revealed the beauty of missouri country side, with lush green fields and creeks and mountains. On a bright sunny day, it seemed to be a paradise.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
All is well that ends well!!.&lt;br /&gt;
Ah, I forgot to mention our beloved buddy GPS all the way. without that GPS , I am sure our travel would have had some trouble. GPS and the lady voice has made our trip sweet and sound and a memorable one.&lt;br /&gt;

We met at Days Inn and headed to Penn Hills , the abode of Lord Venkateswara. Pittsburgh Perumal temple as usual was crowded as any other Balaji temple,on a Saturday afternoon. We had good darshan of Perumal amidst long queue and an hour`s wait time. With vedic chanting and devout crowd , the place felt home. We had the privilege  of shouldering the UtsavaMoorthy . Man that was bliss . The purpose of our Pittsburgh visit completed with our tongues devouring the pulihora and curd rice, I mean , seriously.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Haribabu drove us to Jersey City, NJ with , Jai dropping by Pittsburg downtown to catch the Megabus back to Chicago. We reached NJ at around 1 AM Sunday morning. &amp;nbsp;Jersey City ,full of desis, &amp;nbsp;felt like home. We woke up when the clock hit 10 on a pleasant Sunday Morning. We hurried ourselves to finish our morning duties and after a DISASTROUS PARKING EFFORT, we set off to roam around New York City, with Hari the Casanova.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;a href=&quot;http://lh6.google.com/haribabu.gajendran/Rt0AgrMmqTI/AAAAAAAACkE/61-yWy_9ZZc/HPIM0173.jpg?imgmax=512&quot; onblur=&quot;try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}&quot;&gt;&lt;img alt=&quot;&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; src=&quot;https://lh6.google.com/haribabu.gajendran/Rt0AgrMmqTI/AAAAAAAACkE/61-yWy_9ZZc/HPIM0173.jpg?imgmax=512&quot; style=&quot;cursor: pointer; display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; width: 320px;&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: bold;&quot;&gt;Jersey City walk with Guna &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
First we went to World Trade Center. Paid our tribute to those lost lives, by visiting the site.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;a href=&quot;http://lh3.google.com/haribabu.gajendran/Rt0Al7MmqYI/AAAAAAAACkw/EABNRljhOmQ/HPIM0178.jpg?imgmax=512&quot; onblur=&quot;try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}&quot;&gt;&lt;img alt=&quot;&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; src=&quot;https://lh3.google.com/haribabu.gajendran/Rt0Al7MmqYI/AAAAAAAACkw/EABNRljhOmQ/HPIM0178.jpg?imgmax=512&quot; style=&quot;cursor: pointer; display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; width: 320px;&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: bold;&quot;&gt;Hari honing his modeling skills at WTC.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As a faithful guide, Hari took us to Ellis island which houses the Famous Liberty Statue, where we spend &quot;quality time&quot; (which means most of our time). After zillion photo shots ( of Hari !! haha!!!!) , we decided to go to midtown Manhattan.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;a href=&quot;http://lh3.google.com/haribabu.gajendran/Rt0Bu7MmrBI/AAAAAAAACqA/45LPZ3_Y3tU/HPIM0219.jpg?imgmax=512&quot; onblur=&quot;try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}&quot;&gt;&lt;img alt=&quot;&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; src=&quot;https://lh3.google.com/haribabu.gajendran/Rt0Bu7MmrBI/AAAAAAAACqA/45LPZ3_Y3tU/HPIM0219.jpg?imgmax=512&quot; style=&quot;cursor: pointer; display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; width: 320px;&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: bold;&quot;&gt;Another Disastrous photo shoot near Liberty Statue&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
The famed Wall street was our next target. The wall street bull was surrounded by tourists and people were taking pictures from all the corners. We had a good laugh when someone was holding the balls of the bull, posing for a snap.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;a href=&quot;http://lh6.google.com/haribabu.gajendran/Rt0CNrMmrSI/AAAAAAAACxY/DmW5DJ2OK9A/HPIM0237.jpg?imgmax=512&quot; onblur=&quot;try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}&quot;&gt;&lt;img alt=&quot;&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; src=&quot;https://lh6.google.com/haribabu.gajendran/Rt0CNrMmrSI/AAAAAAAACxY/DmW5DJ2OK9A/HPIM0237.jpg?imgmax=512&quot; style=&quot;cursor: pointer; display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; width: 320px;&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: bold;&quot;&gt;It would have been a perfect snap of Wall street if Hari and Guna haven`t come in between&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Meantime, Hari was all about himself. Man he has really changed. The boy from the small sleepy town called Gudiyattam has come a long way. He is so sure of himself, about his ideals, his way of life. &amp;nbsp;He really wants to enjoy his life.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He blew his own trumpet most of the times, like the dates he had in the past weeks and places he has gone, but all that was bearable for us. After all, we are NARCISSISTS , arent we?? we had good laugh , when hari , as in the process of boosting, showed us a couple kissing on the road, as if that event is unique to New York City.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Ah, the subway transit is another diamond in the crown of NYC. The performing artists along the subway stations are the most interesting and amazing individuals. Their Theatrics excited us. Special mention to a dwarf who impersonated Michael Jackson to the audience oohs and awws. Then, we went to Grand central to visit &amp;nbsp;Empire State building and to 23rd street in Manhattan for a Desi Restaurant.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;a href=&quot;http://lh6.google.com/haribabu.gajendran/Rt0CorMmrjI/AAAAAAAACuY/_zKSq8bXeUQ/HPIM0254.jpg?imgmax=512&quot; onblur=&quot;try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}&quot;&gt;&lt;img alt=&quot;&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; src=&quot;https://lh6.google.com/haribabu.gajendran/Rt0CorMmrjI/AAAAAAAACuY/_zKSq8bXeUQ/HPIM0254.jpg?imgmax=512&quot; style=&quot;cursor: pointer; display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; width: 320px;&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;
&lt;b&gt;Blurry picture of Guna, Aswin, and Hari, indicating the hurried nature of the city and its people&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: bold;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;New York Trip-I&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
What a wonderful trip this has been. I remember an advertisement that carries a tag line,&quot;where sanity makes a comeback&quot;. when i thought of our trip, this came to my mind,&quot; &lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: bold;&quot;&gt;Insanity makes a comeback&lt;/span&gt;&quot;.It was hilarious, heartwarming, and fun filling (which bordered over insanity) trip.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Right from my start from Columbia, Missouri to Jefferson city and then to St.Louis, and then to Pittsburgh and then to New jersey and to New York, man its been a roller coaster ride.&lt;br /&gt;
I started off from Columbia,Missouri  and went to Jefferson city to catch the &quot;Kansas Mule&quot;. its a befitting name, delayed by an hour, I boarded at 8.00PM on Friday, for my 7.00 PM schedule. I reached St.Louis Union Station at around 11PM , the place which always amuses me with a rich history ,to welcome Guna and Jai.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
After couple of calls and a cat and mouse game, we were able to unite.That set off our journey in the CHEVY Uplander with GPS to Pittsburgh.Gunasekar, my buddy from Chicago was &amp;nbsp;excited of having got hold of such a full size car. Along with GPS, he seemed to have knack for the art of making Car rental deals.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;a href=&quot;http://newcartestdrive.com/06/06-uplander-1.jpg&quot; onblur=&quot;try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}&quot;&gt;&lt;img alt=&quot;&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; src=&quot;https://newcartestdrive.com/06/06-uplander-1.jpg&quot; style=&quot;cursor: pointer; display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; width: 320px;&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: bold;&quot;&gt;CHEVY UPLANDER&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
We set off, to Pittsburgh from St.Louis Union station. We stopped for a late night dinner and gas at a pit stop.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
With soothing illayaraja s music from 80-90s and pleasant and clear night , the travel was perfect. The serene night travel evoked the Philosopher in Jai. Jai hails from karnataka,works with Guna and truly his knowledge about Hinduism and spirituality is impressive. While I drove, we discussed Existionalism, Ayn Rand`s objectivism and what not, while Guna cozily slumbered in the passenger seat, which i would say the best thing to do , with Illayaraja`s melody.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
We welcomed Saturday with a coffee at McDonald&#39;s outside Indianapolis and captured the beautiful sunrise in our virtual and real memory  along the Indiana skies. We drove all the way to pittsburgh. Again the morning was full of heated arguments between me ( ofcourse) and Jai debating on the &quot;Role of Common man in Ancient Art Architecture, Literature&quot;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
With his near perfect lane discipline and zeal for driving , guna has certainly matured into an awesome driver who always puts safety first. Guna , has not changed a bit after 8 long years. he is the same guy, who is always there for you, with a laid back life and pleasant attitude and has an honest appreciation for others.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The city of Bridges welcomed us. The yellow bridge with its brilliant architecture beckoned us.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;a href=&quot;http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/f/f4/Pgh17.jpg/250px-Pgh17.jpg&quot; onblur=&quot;try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}&quot;&gt;&lt;img alt=&quot;&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; src=&quot;https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/f/f4/Pgh17.jpg/250px-Pgh17.jpg&quot; style=&quot;cursor: pointer; display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; width: 320px;&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: bold;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: bold;&quot;&gt;                                            Pittsburgh Panoramic View&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Our meeting point was Pittsburgh Perumal Temple. Yes. The same place mentioned in the Tamil Blockbuster  Ayutha yezhthu. I have hunch that it is because of those lines uttered by siddharth to trisha &amp;nbsp;the Pittsburgh perumal temple became more famous. May be i am wrong. But in a state of Movie buffers/eccentrics such things are not impossible.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Let me introduce you to the quintessential metrosexual now. He came all the way from New Jersey to pittsburgh and to walk us through to NYC and Jersey City, NJ. He is Haribabu Gajendran. The man with a mission to make our trip as much sweet as possible. oops, I forget his surname. He demands that to be mentioned. He is Haribabu Gajendran Moparti.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;

Making Rastrapathi bhavan more accessable, both online and offline.&lt;br /&gt;3. Making President more accessable to common man.&lt;br /&gt;4. Inspired Younger generation wherever he goes.&lt;br /&gt;5. Transformed a Rubber Stamp and colonial Relic  Job into something Inspirational and Motivational.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;He might not be strong in his political opinions, or in his decisions, not eloquent,  as some might say, ( I am not saying this as i have no quality to judge Dr.Kalam).&lt;br /&gt;Even some say, his VISION 2020 is full of glib verbatim, which are closer to be called as empty rhetorics, but people from kalams side, say it is a well researched one and perfectly possible. &lt;br /&gt;But, he is a true secular tamil and a great man and i am fortunate to have lived during his presidential tenure. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He has changed the Image of President among public.
