Disclaimer: This post like an earlier one is not a religious commentary, nor is it aimed at hurting the religious sentiments of anyone. They are just the thoughts and observations of another faithful like you. I was driving to my client’s office yesterday and was in Thiruvallikeni High Road (Triplicane High Road). I was observing the communal harmony that seemingly existed in that area where the entrance arch to the Parthasarathy Temple opens into a church. The area has temples, mosques, churches spread out among the homes and believers of their faithful. It gave me a sense of pride to be a part of this city considering that religious discord is prevalent in many places across our country. I happened to notice a hoarding that proudly invited people to participate in a ceremony where the deity will be washed (worshipped if you please) by 108 pots of milk. Considering the fact that these pots are much bigger than your mini-coffee cups and may in fact contain enough milk for at least a ...

A friend sent me this yesterday, something about it struck a chord in my heart. Blame it on the fact that Melissa has been with us for over 6 years now or maybe I have been blessed with a few friends who have stayed the course of time. I just thought I should share it with all of you...... Friends A man and his dog were walking along a road. The man was enjoying the scenery, when it suddenly occurred to him that he was dead.He remembered dying, and that the dog walking beside him had been dead for years. He wondered where the road was leading them. After a while, they came to a high, white stone wall along one side of the road. It looked like fine marble. At the top of a long hill, it was broken by a tall arch that glowed in the sunlight. When he was standing before it he saw a magnificent gate in the arch that looked like mother-of-pearl, and the street that led to the gate looked like pure gold. He and the dog walked toward the gate, and as he got closer, he saw a man at a desk to on...

Best wishes for a Happy and grace filled Easter to you and your family and compliments of the season to my brethren who celebrate other festivals over the weekend. The Exultet (also known as the Exsultet or sometimes the Easter Proclamation [1] ) is the traditional Western Rite hymn of praise intoned by the deacon during the Easter Vigil . In the absence of a deacon, it may be intoned by the priest , or by the cantor . It is intoned after the procession with the Paschal Candle before the beginning of the Liturgy of the Word . It is used in the Latin rite of the Roman Catholic Church , the Anglican Churches, and the Nordic and Baltic Lutheran Churches, as well as other Western Christian denominations. - Wikipedia Rejoice, heavenly powers! Sing, choirs of angels! Exult, all creation around God's throne! Jesus Christ, our King, is risen! Sound the trumpet of salvation! Rejoice, O earth, in shining splendor, radiant in the brightness of your King! Christ has conquered! Glo...

Have 70 odd invitations in my Facebook account(clementwill@gmail.com). Thought I might as well get rid of them. The problem with these apps is that you have to send them out to another set of people and throroughly irritate them (in some cases) just to figure out something about oneself. So I chucked one garden invitation and came upon the captioned application, after answering some typically Yankee rubbish questions, Voila I have received the best news in some days....... Hitman You will become a hitman. You don't feel like doing any other work except helping others. You like to be secretive and kill those that are hated enemies. Now let me see a good resignation letter format....... Just a little later Gayatri sent me this invitation and guess what: Which illegal profession are you most suited for? Similar dumb and dumber Yankee questions later, enlightenment .... Corporate Embezzler Congratulations, you are a corporate embezzler! Your social instincts, smoo...

Sitting at home during my sick leave, I was reminiscing about a phone call from work. Somehow I came upon these... Why do I get this feeling of deja vu?

Benchmarking From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Benchmarking (also "best practice benchmarking" or "process benchmarking") is a process used in management and particularly strategic management , in which organizations evaluate various aspects of their processes in relation to best practice , usually within their own sector.

Benchmarking may be a one-off event, but is often treated as a continuous process in which organizations continually seek to challenge their practices.

Regular blogging could improve your social life ANI SOCIAL WEB: After two months of blogging, people felt they had better social support, said the study. Sydney: A new Australian study has found that blogging can boost people’s social life, by making them feel less isolated, more connected to a community and more satisfied with their friendships, both online and personally. This evidence is the result of two related studies, conducted by the Swinburne University Technology in Melbourne, Australia, which found that after two months of regular blogging, people felt they had better social support and friendship networks than those who didn't blog. In the first study, researchers Susan Moore and James Baker compared the mental health of people intending to blog with that of people not planning to blog. The study, published in the latest issue of the journal CyberPsy...
