The Last Post - A Farewell Note

Ende Keralam !

Waking up from the horrible jinx, Like the proverbial phoenix, With Guruvayurappan's blessings in plenty, Tour de Keralam started super heady! Waded through the sticky narrow-lane maze, To reach Kumbalangi's water-fronted Homez. Devoured delicious appams with stew, Leaving luscious memories to chew! With the awesome Alleppey house boat, Navigated nature's scenic carpet. Clicked abundant videos and pictures To live another day ruminating these archives! From an unceasing yoghurt hunt puzzle, To couples in a never-ending tussle, And to juicy middle east gossips, On the go, tantrums rolled down in heaps! A wide-eyed Kochi water metro, Surely upped everyone's tempo! The Kochi Fort tour via the toot toot auto, Helped relive the history in retro! Blessed to visit the revered Chottanikkara And experience the ecstatic aura! A belief system, so strong and deep, Unfathomable is its power and vi...

Being a ‘Have-not’, I can explain why. David Harrison, a senior research scientist, from the Genome Research Centre in Geneva, too was sceptical, initially, like you are. F ew months ago, I was at a social gathering with my colleague, Ravi Kumar. There he introduced me to David Harrison. “Tony, meet Mr. Harrison,” Ravi introduced him to me. My name is Thanikachalam Subramanian, also known as, 'Tony'. I said, “Hai, Mr. Harrison, nice meeting you. I am Tony,” extending my hand. Mr....

The Mythical, Mystical, Maya Bazaars

4 :30 pm factory siren, finally. The nerve-wracking second day’s training on Psycho Cybernetics was coming to a close, with Consultant Dr. Kanakapathy summarizing the day’s take-away points. The 50 trainees were all fresh engineering graduates, appointed as Engineer Trainees (ET) at the behemoth of a public sector company (company), Bharat Power in Trichy, India. These ETs were recruited based on a very competitive pan India recruitment process. The Psycho Cybernetics training was at the prestigious, cosy training room, F1. In the company, in the 1980s, it was two of its kind (other being F2) air-conditioned and fully curtained room. Aptly named F1, it was the ground zero from where many a checkered career pursuits got flagged and raced off. While a lot got padlocked at the home company, some raved up to national and international circuits. Those stories for another day. “Don’t drink milk. Eat it”, was a clear take-away from Dr. Kanakapathy for Ravi Kumar! This was an ...
