- during early heydeys chaaru sharma who was a good friend from anz days inaugurated a particular event and fin product demo from our side
- coo – u might have visited our chennai office early days conference snap – u can see the thamizh letters of my company on the board above invest for the future shankar our registered insurance rep and team sowmya vishal setia others
- for coopra info – we always used to put stalls in elakshya at various it parks in chennai esp eekkantuthaangal. this is in olympia tech park for example. as u can see we have three branches 2 in blr and 1 in chennai. hence the three top arrows in our logo. we are into 3 businesses – recruitment, retailing (of fin services) and road journeys. we have three gurus – coopra, raama and rrr. rrr means ritualistic raatchasan raama
- i compiled my sleep scores just to get clear idea clarity. bought my garmin 180 days back, and have measured sleep for about 80 of those days. Avg score is around 68-69. highest-ever has been 87 ( lowest in 20s and 30s does not matter since it was during the days i was traveling). there is NO pattern in my score, its just random. the comments are mostly – not enof REM. other comments are – shorter than ideal, intermittent sleep, unbalance sleep stages, poor quality, non-restorative etc ( of course few days when i have had more than 80 score it says long and continuous, plenty of deep etc). unlike pallavi, it has never said plenty of REM.
- pallavi sent her last nite sleep score – 25th feb 2026 – 99/100. this is AMAZING. she is truly blessed to have such awesome sleep patterns. but really dont know what else to do to even come close to her standards. maybe its within our control, maybe not. but what is def clear is that thanks to my low score, i do feel groggy, lazy, listless many times of the day
- u are such a racial fucker daa machan. each and every one of ur video forwards are by some brahmin guru or other. u just sent me youtube shorts of sree iyer of pgurus. pl see his tweets and some of his insta reels. they reek of brahminical superiority claims. i once again say here : i feel ashamed to be a maadhwa brahmin in front of u, since i am two rungs lower than u on your genetic pool social hierarchy ——— @sep17 frd ops mgr harish pv close friend of husband i informed coopra about our 1-hour telecon yesterday, where hasina clearly used these words : “This guy coopra is too much over the top – jaathi, jaathi rituals verithanam. God definitely has counter-balances and antidotes in place. it is called “moksha-something” (forgot exact term used by hasina). the more u are into these racial exclusivity matters, the more God will punish u and ur next-gen” . hasina took the example of my own uncle venu maama, and strongly advised coopra to pipe down it took me 10 min to realise what is FeeSheyFee, but its brilliant ( bcos i can now use it freely in my other gps without worrying about being arrested). noted about aSS as well ! and if those aSSes love malayalam even a single bit, they henceforth need to chant “bhaaratha – maathaavu neenal vaazhatte !!!” instead of saying some hindi sentence with lock and “key”. I always chant with pride – “Bhaaratha Thaayae… Potri Potri.” dear raama ( pl note i am not addressing u as coopra, since i am serious this time for a change) – i am upset with u bcos of ur jaathi-veri. i know it really does not matter wrt our own personal equation as my uyir-nanban. but i keep thinking to myself one point all the time – if raama is so caste and brahmin-conscious, obviously he also treats me at a slightly lower level ( since i am after all a maadhwa lower caste). so this opposing idealogical situation is causing me to behave irrationally – ie talk bad things behind ur back, posting mocking stuff here in the group, making fun etc. i apologise for the same. wud still earnestly request u to post in the group. for example – whatever solid differences i have with sundar, i have still managed to swallow and have had long conversations with him the last couple of days. same way, i expect you to let go of ur ego and return (pl also understand that all my mocking has happened as a result of your stubbornness in not getting back to the gp, but rather constantly pinging me on DM) this is my sincere request and thanks u seem to be upset about points 30-32. u have DMed me as below – “(Deleting cuss words…) discuss when i am there not at my back and that too with someone irrelevant” —— exactly why i dont want to discuss in DM behind other people’s “back”. so pl start directly discussing in the group, with each person’s “front”. today i learnt the true definition of “andh-bhakth”. an alleged suicide, speculations rife, investigation not commenced, body not laid to rest. yet u find a compelling urgent need to defend IT officials and by extension the Union of india, by proclaiming him as a fraud😭. (for all i know, he may well be one, but thats not my point). i feel sad, suresh, and by extension, i feel sad for all those kuruttu-bhakthargal out there. — though i only ask for ur introspection, i also know that i will be subjected now to a barrage of expletives from ur end. am fine with it i venkat – as is evident, we are idealogically completely opposite. i hate BJP for : a. its alignment with sanatana dharma ( whose pillar is the stupid caste system/varna – which goes against my strongest belief that every human is absolutely equal) b. though i love (and speak & write) Hindi very well, i hate the imposition tactics in TN — I acknowledge that TN is fairly corrupt. Irrespective, i wish to see continuation of non-bjp rule in TN (atleast till end of my lifetime). Willing to bet that BJP will not get more than 5 mla seats in 2026 (just like last time), inspite of all the money, muscle and mafia (from central govt), thrown in TN’s path the last few years hi venkat – hv come across a lot of data about TN’s equitable income distribution, but then, the “mode” i refer to above, does not even come close to the high IT bracket. hence wudnt be surprised if % IT assessees, is similar to rest of country. so my argument is that this IT payers’ % wud not be an adequate proxy. A sample article among many which dovetails from various data-points – https://thewire.in/economy/gujarat-or-tamil-nadu-which-one-is-indias-model-state. apparently, arvind subramanian (former CEC, govt of india)’s book – “a sixth of humanity” – has a lot of data on TN. will hopefully get it in free kindle soon, to be able to substantiate better. one can write a macroE thesis on this structural inequity/skew in india, ( denny wud be best placed amongst us). but here’s my plug for TN – the dravidian model, by its very nature and essence, aims for levelling. social justice, condemnation of that stupid sanata dharma ( with its inherent caste system and varnashrees), reservation quotas, focus on education for all, uniform urbanisation – all these enhance the equitability in society at large. yes, a lot more needs to be done, but the “mode range of incomes” ( statistical measure of the midway) , is amongst the country’s highest – from a proud dravidian ( though an aryan by birth as per that satanic..oops sanatanic dharma) tata marathon timing (18 jan 2026) = 2.43.26 and mahethon timing ( 25 jan 2026) = 2.44.54 to akk – reached blr. pl work on shabbeer today itself if possible u asked what i am trying to solve. ans – we are setting out to do formal research on cow urine, towards curing cancer. i recently lost my mother to cancer. also, padmashri to kamakoti, who exposed the medicinal benefits of gomutra, have motivated us luxury AC bus a1 travels, on way to kozhikode. since sleeper buses are a death trap nowadays, incase i am to die, all my wealth is hereby bequeathed to my @coopra raaman let him decide if he needs to give something to rajani and kids. this post may be considered legal will for the duration of this journey a dinner meeting, hotel blue diamond, kozhikode, with 5 of the most troublesome board member hotel ansari, near medical college kozhikode on seeing the RDay invites, two constrasting emotions overcame me – 1-immense vicarious pride ( thru sundar) of rubbing shoulders with india’s whos who 2-extreme disgust about india’s associate official language being ignored in the invite this is for u – my Heart Rate (HR) readings. Last week at Mumbai, it was always between 160-170. Today, i kept it between 140 and 150 throughout (except for 2 small spikes). And pl note – the speed in both the races is almost the same. Which means, my HR is def improving had a big struggle – had to put all effort to keep my timing under 2.45 ( got 2.44.54). developed cramps during 19th km (usually i get good split timings for my 19/20/21). today was a big let-down and ran a poor end-game as a result. the worst disappointment is the stats above. it shows me at 34th out of 37 competitors in my age/gender category – “male 50-60”. how worse can it get squeaked thru just 6 sec short of 2.45, ie 2.44.54 seconds. so this 245 becomes my mental block which i need to conquer really bad of some people making such bad videos with tamil song lyrics etc. just happened to see it in instagram by accident. we need to complain about it. just sent to our group for exercising caution pl see above. i have bought this device from the mumbai expo. what do u think ? is it useful ? will it be useful for prone ones like myself (diabetic) and kaca ( he has had an event) ? pl give honest feedback raaji – this is for ur understanding. i ran the entire 2 hrs 43 minutes on a very uniform heart rate. just see above. as soon as i started running, HR climbed to around 150-160 in a few minutes. From then on, TILL END OF RACE, i kept my HR hovering between 160 and 170, slowing down every time i hit 170 and speeding up once i hit 160. Just see how even my HR is as i told u, am doing my next half-marathon this sunday.

For results log on to www.sportstimingsolutions.in post 5pm. View your Badge:img.sportstimingsolutions.in/runner_badges/90337_31078.jpg almost 8am now. expo opens at 10. the airport, my hotel and the expo form a triangle, each an hour away. so am thinking – instead of going to hotel now, lemme take another nap in a corner of the airport😃, then finish the expo work, and then go to hotel at one shot. — and @rrr rboss rajani – bless u for the infinia metal. belted on cals, carbs and fats at 230 am for just Rs 2 ( even which was refunded imm even this is mad ! garmin measures sleep so accurately, ie i just sat in my middle seat in the flight and garmin realised ive started sleeping ! also makes me proud that i can sleep under any condition ! sat in my seat at 433am, slept all the way till landing at 7.05am dai – as the most religious among us ( and since god will listen to u the most) – pl pray for me to crack 2.35 hours. that is the timing i am aiming for. i did 2.41 in my latest marathon in oct 2025. my best-ever has been 2.37 hours ( in year 2014). i have prepared decently for this one, but need god’s push and pull to get me inside of 2.35 hours. pl daa machan do u know which is the most elite of all the 1000’s of cards in india ? arguably, it is “hdfc infinia metal”. i am a proud owner of this card ( am sorry to say that @coopra raaman can not even come near it). so i will be reaching 080 lounge by midnight and party there. my flight is at 5am tomorrow morning pl note my travel plans, guys 17th jan 530 am flight to mumbai, back on 20th jan late night flight 1030pm 25th jan late eve bus to kozhikode, so 26th/27th there, back on 28th early morning Feb 5th morning train to chennai for sachin marriage ( will also pick na2 from hostel on 5th evening for the reception), back by afternoon train of 6th (home by 8pm) march 7th and 8th saturday & sunday – myself and raaji ( probably) in chennai for aswath marriage. maybe we can stay together with na2 some place for sat nite. lets see During May 1 to May 20 : 12 days time – exact dates not decided – sats and na1 go to EBC —- for raaji she may need to go for emergency visa appt. And during May/June, she has two scheduled visa interview dates, one at Chennai and the other at Delhi of course, in saro22.com/s, if u type “simran bharatha” or any other combi you will get this snap. but if u just type “simran”, u get several more photos. have not shared this mechanism with any one else other than u 4, so i hope i am not breaching any privacy. bcos only those who exactly know how to operate, will be able to access clear advantages of my pongal greetings above : 1. does not occupy any storage space on whatsapp, hence need not be deleted 2. link is permanent, can be viewed any time in our lives 3. url is easy description – says everything about the photo 4. can be searched with keyword – using saro22.com/s – just type in simran or pongal ( or any of those words) – u will get this photo 5. last not least, it is also covered under SEO ( though it takes a few days for web-crawl to activate) – which means it can be accessed thru simple google search as well also-wanted to keep u guys informed. myself and niharika will be going on a 14-day trip in May 1st week. The location has always been on my bucket list. Its called EBC ( Everest Base Camp), which is at 18520 feet(kala pathar). It wud be a fairly challenging endeavour, and we have started training for it, with Strength Training etc. We are going as a group of 16 people (all from Adarsh Vista), engaging a tour guide etc ( i dont know all the details since it is all being managed by a fellow Vistan). cost is approx 2.8-3L/person ( all inclusive). pl wish me best. success rate of achieving EBC is only about 50% apparently, because many people turn back mid-route in case of AMS (acute mountain sickness). AMS is a very dangerous condition, where, if u experience the symptoms, the only remedy is turn back to a lower altitude, else u risk fatality. there is really no preventive cure against AMS, since it can quickly turn to HACE or HAPE based on each person’s body (Diamox or Dexamethasone really dont help that much). anyway… we want to give it a shot and hence we are proceeding.
- More about tomorrow’s session This gathering is a community space for coming together, supporting one another, and processing our shared loss. It aims to help reduce feelings of isolation, reflect on memories of the departed, learn how to respond to questions from family and children, and find comfort, support, and closure. The session will include simple mindfulness practices such as grounding and breathing exercises. What this session is not: It is not an investigation, a forum for questioning, a place for judgment, or a substitute for individual therapy. This is a community well-being initiative offered voluntarily and pro bono for Vista residents and well-wishers, to help us cope and heal together Good morning. Imp message – My amma ( Prema) – Godhaanam – is scheduled for 18th March 2026, Wednesday ( Morning to late afternoon) We will be conducting in SRIRANGAM. Location is confirmed. Further details will be shared later, and i will also phone. I am giving advance information to help family members make travel plans etc. Thanks for understanding Dear Residents, With deep sorrow, we inform you that the mortal remains of Dr. Shamala Chandra and Shri Naveen Chandra will be brought to their home, Villa 112, on Saturday 14th Feb. Residents who wish to pay their respects may do so between 3:00 PM and 4:00 PM. Let us come together as a community to support the family and keep them in our thoughts and prayers during this time of grief. Regards, MC 2025 any update from braava ? its a challenging nite trek with elephant issues as well, so keep us updated as soon as he hits poondi back safe
- with my close friend Krishna Kumar Balaraman and his mother, KK, till recently Prof of strategy at IIT Jodhpur, now prof of management at krea univ i chanced to see this insta reel yday. but more importantly, i sat down to reading each of those 8000 comments, and scrolled till the 2000th one. stunned to note that there was not a single one (!) in support of bjp. wondering if that remains the general mood in kerala, and if SG/others hv really not made any dent so far. i know the above comments list is only a sample, but an still surprised. because my dipstick ( which is this gp) shows a diffferent picture – reethu, kurup, sm etc all are strong bjp votaries. so what am i missing here.txs coopra, for DMing from time to time with ur comments – for example, recently, regarding braava loans to me. as u know, i am a pure-bred YKN who keeps begging for money. So am ever grateful to u also for ur timely cash doles from time to time whenever i have asked u. keep up the good work nly issue is this : every story needs an antagonist. every movie needs a villain. every belief system needs a satan / asura. i have seen so many movies which hv failed due to a weak villain. hence my request to you to come back to the group, to make it lively and meaningful. else there is no swaarasyam
- coopra full scolding mode on dm why are u scolding braava so much on MY DM ?? if u want to scold him, do so straight by messaging him, not me venu maama and lakshmi aunty, in case u didnt know.🤝 my sincere best wishes to u. may you also enjoy same luck as venu maama
