The translation of my poem

Its really a happy feeling to get your poem translated to other languages.My first poetry attempt in Tamil was translated to English.The translator is a person whom you all love and I adore him to a great extent.Will reveal his name later.My attempts of rhyming and few places of philosophy that I tried in my native language might be missing though.

Now to the translation

A garden and some dew drops

Those drops on the roses glitter in your eyes as forms of beauty .Beneath your feet are the rest which have fallen in the wrong place.Even man is the same-falling and rising are the part of life
Its ,where and when of your fall that speaks of YOU even after your times.

The real YOU is in the way you rise up from the ashes.Mohandas who fell in a platform stood up as Gandhi.Narendran who fell in a beach stood up as Vivekananda.Edison who fell a thousand times stood up as the father of electricity.If they had not,pages of history would have been a lot different.When you fall and rise back,u rewrite a page in the history.

He who touches the clouds from an aeroplane is a man.The great man is the one who leaps from where he stands to the clouds.It was the fall of a meteor that triggered the origin of life
Seeds not only fall ,they also get buried to rise up as mighty trees.Its not just the sweets that make a complete feast-both the sweet n the sour are needed.Even life is a feast.

When you admire your face in the mirror you fail to notice the shadow behind .Life's the same.In the smile of your victory there is some one's defeat and vice versa.When some one talented emerges you taste your defeat.Grow your talents in a way that you can never be defeated.

Even before the first drop of tears due to your losses touch the ground ,you must have climbed up to the next step in your attempts.There are thousand others to brood over loses.Atleast in this you are not a one in thousand.When you lose rejoice over the fact that you have found some one to win over.
THE END

Atlast a woman can shop fast

The last thing a man would agree to do is to go on a shopping with a women.Girl friend,wife,mother ,sister ,any woman for that case.The case gets worse when a woman is shopping for her clothes especially her jeans.Women tend to have great tastes and unsatiable desires and it takes a lot of time for then to actually make selection of their jeans.Its not the women alone to be blamed.The range and choices in the jean are so much that it tends to be a real confusion in many cases.

Now here is an ultimate solution for the weeping men and confused women from the best in business.It offers a very comprehensive guide for a woman to make a right choice in her purchase.The womens jean buying guide page of shop wiki perhaps is the best of its kind Ive seen.Jeans have been categorised in terms of the body type,the component style ,the designer range etc.Every single aspect has been provided in detail like the cost,size ,the perfect choice for one's body type etc.

I mailed the womens jean buying guide page to my friend.She wanted a low rise .She clicked on the link provided.An array of a huge collection of low rise jean varieties from numerous vendors came on the display.She narrowed them down with popping eyes to the cost range that she desired.Then she was directed to the shop links and she made an instant purchase.What could have taken a day's time easily was now over in few clicks.She was thrilled and so am I.So is everyone who had tried the site.

The solution is here

Ever since I entered the teenage ,the problem of acne had always been a bugging thing for me.I never had problems like being smitten by love or being dumped by friends but this acne thing had been one irritating factor that i hate to the core.The problem with acne is that proper Acne Medication never seems to be a reality.All the existing Acne Medications as far as I have tried are either expensive or over rated and never do they deserve so much investment.
Some days back I found this site that claimed to have the Best Acne Medication that could ever be offered.I was thrilled but was skeptical too.Why not give it a try?The online shopping system was really impressive with features like the money back offer and the free rapid results bonus pack.They have a really trusted shopping system.
I received my pack and eagerly tried out.It was really miraculous.Acne had suddenly disappeared.Only after that I glanced through the extremely scientific Cleanse ,treat and hydrate 3 step system that deals not only with acne but also with all conditions associated with acne.The most important thing is the absence of harmful chemicals like Benzoyl Peroxide.I was amazed and impressed with the results.I advice all to try it once.You will never regret it.

Castes-Brahmins

"Serenity, self-restraint, austerity, purity, forgiveness and also uprightness, knowledge, realisation and belief in God are the duties of the Brahmans, born of their own nature." (Gita Ch 18 V 42)

Addressing a Gandharv (Kabandh), Shri Ram said: "Listen, O Gandharva, to what I tell you - I cannot tolerate an enemy of the Brahmans. He who without guile in thought, word and deed does service to the Brahmans (the very gods on earth), wins over Brahma, Shiv, Myself and all other divinities."

Brahmans have always been the most respected in our society. They are regarded to have carried forth the flame of knowledge and righteousness. They consider themselves to have prevented the society from degrading.

Cards for the near and dear

Its been quite a while since I joined a job.It is time to sit back and relish all the friends and weel wishers I had gained during the 21 years of social existence.I wanted to make a memorable gift to all those I really adore.It had to be impressive and at the same time within the reach of my pocket.What is more perfect than a cute gift card to suit this?That was when I found Gift card Mall which impressed me so much.Here ends my lifelong search for one perfect place where I can find the perfect gifts.
A quick glance through the site made me realize that I am not alone.Gift cards are the most sought after gifts which has been proved by famous surveys and sales.Whats more amzing is the fact that the global melt down means that the buyers are going to be benefitted by fabulous deals and now is the perfect time to get a gift card.
The site makes this task as simple as tossing a coin.Just go to the site you will realise that I am true.Just browse by the numerous categories for example 'gifts for her'.Make a good choice ,decide on the amount and click to purchase.As simple as that.We also have the option to design our own cards.
Even corporates can register for really good deals .The site is extremely safe and reliable with a number of satisfied customers and the list includes me now.Pay a visit and you will never regret it.

A How to/How not to guide to land in a core job

Well Im not the CEO of Naukri to give an expert opinion on jobs,but am sure I can provide some real life accounts.Of course it is my blog and my choice of topics...:).Campus jobs have become so common that almost everyone lands in a job.We may opt to pursue it and excel in it,but there are some who want to stretch further looking for core jobs that would satisfy them.It may rather be a satisfaction in terms of salary or satisfaction interests and both in some lucky cases.Here are few tips,cant term these as tips,maybe some steps that I took to land up in a core job.
1)Google is your best friend
Keep searching for job titles that you dream.It may be a random search for example say,'Research Engineer' or a 'Embedded Engineer' etc etc.You get a lucky result allways.No wonder Google people spend days and nights to better their algorithm.Believe in technology and things it offers to you.Even in case you arent lucky enough,you atleast get to know what really is happening outside your college.

2)Keep your eyes open
The Fortune magazine lists the Fortune 500 list of companies every year with classifications for each field and this means you get a list of 500 companies to apply to.Sounds ambitious.Yes it is.Freshersworld , Naukri etc have huge lists of companies and clients displayed in their sites and each list is a place where you can fish out your choice.It is not just the net,company names pop out everywhere.People say when in you are in love,the world looks beautiful and likewise when you are hunting for a job every thing must be seen as an oppurtunity.Buses,cars,watches,mobiles,PCs,speakers,advertisements,etc etc that we come across are immense sources of companies to which we can apply.All bear a brand name ,dont they?Believe me,once I searched for '3M' ,the brand that was printed on my cellophane tape rail and found it to be a huge multi billion dollor organisation.When I say 'open your eyes' ,it applies to the ears too.The chances of hearing a company name are so frequent.Invariably every company site has a career section and what fascinates people like me is that it is absolutely free. :0

3)Market yourself:
The ultimate weapon in the search of an off campus job is your resume.This single paper can take you places.Professors,one good lunch and the ambience of the college can speak for you in on campusses.But outside only the resumes count.Make them as impressive as possible.It never bores to be proud and be proud when framing your resume.

4)Understand the reality:
You follow step 2 and apply to Texas Instruments.Never check your mail box the next day for a mail from TI that says"Dear xxx ,we are pleased with your resume.Start asap with your baggage to TI and your salary is 10lakhs per annum".That never happens.It can never.We are not Eiensteins and we are not from IITs for all this to happen.Keep trying.Gmail is now unlimited.So never bother.

5)Call your old friend:
Its people all around you.Atleast some are your friends and atleast a few of those are in the area of your interest.Be in touch with them coz in core many jobs are fetched by references.It may be your senior,neighbour,lover etc etc.

6)Be ready for the other side:
An off campus job search may lead you to a dream core job ,but it may not allways fill your packets as you would expect it to.You must be ready for compromises.Also be ready for a life as a solo lion.In campus jobs ,you get the luxury of a college life Part 2,with friends and girl friends.It is not so in core.In most cases you get to join alone.The worst part is ,it is all people in 30s and 40s around you in job.No more crushes and blushes.All see a fresher as a baby.

Now justifying the title- I did all this and landed up in core so it is a How To Guide in my case.Try it and if you dont,read it again as a How Not To.
