Warm greetings to Adimala for thalai deepavali. Sowmya snaps with family superb – and timing is also superb with kambi mathappu lighted ! GV aunty black-and-white portrait – my suggestion is to enlarge and frame it – such a lovely snap First thing that the thaatha did was to put his central govt / printing muthirai (stamp) on the baby !!!😇 Badri is a lovely, sweet name. Reminds me of the communist revolutionary leader in kurudhi-punal TN state government : as per final circular, it states that there is NO NEED for “annual mustering process” for family pensioners, for the year 2020. *Anyone getting state govt pension, can you confirm this information?”* central govt : as per last notification, the life certificate process ( digital or in person or thru jeevan pramaan centers etc) last date is 31 Dec 2020. *Anyone getting central govt pension, can you confirm this information? one of most energetic maama I know – many old memories – the padmini car drive thru narrow lakeview rd, the excellent bargaining at mint street during sudha marriage 1996, the fantastic hands- on coordination in prep for anand departure to US, the fastest climber during our sabarimala walk 2015. even when I met him last week, full of life, energy, positivity. great maama – from bottom of heart, wishing u atleast another 50 years of healthy life ahead! please get injected vaccine ASAP and start temple yatras ammamma used to have a long list ( written in cardboard paper). prepared with help of grandkids like anusha. every marriage day/bday, first prompt call in morning from ammamma! in fact, she also upgraded technologically! ( when arvind came from US holidays, she got it entered in yahoo groups). now my sampa dhodamma following tradition. really feels blessed to receive our first call from elders dear raghu maama – we are all most fortunate to be under ur guidance – first nephews and now grand nephews and nieces! many old memories where u took me when I was arshit age – the tambaram painting competition, the kalaivaanar arangam vr nedunzhezhian speech etc etc. pl take care of health so that u can continue to guide great-grand nephews as well in fact, I even remember vrn joke- 103 in plane, only 100 capacity so about to crash. Russian says vaazhga Russia and jumps, Japan guy vaazhga Japan and jumps, Indian says vaazhga India and pushes the next guy out Our heart beats 72 times per minute. In a day, it pumps 7000 litres of blood. My domestic water tank is of 1000 litres. The heart pumps 7 such water tanks in a day. Of this, 70% blood goes to brain and the remaining 30% goes to other parts of the body. One beat takes 0.8 second, out of which 0.3 second it takes to contract and 0.5 second to relax. During this relaxation time of 0.5 second, the blood goes to the lung and gets purified. When this time of relaxation is reduced, the blood doesn’t get purified completely. Now, what happens when you are in tension or in anger ? The brain needs more blood. So the heart relaxes lesser. It relaxes only for 0.4 second instead of relaxing for full 0.5 second, this the beat taking 0.3+0.4=0.7 second instead of 0.8 second. That makes 84 beats per minute. Heart’s relaxation time reduces by 20%, whereas purification achieved is only 80% ! Owing to this impure blood, the system doesn’t get cleaned properly. Hence, do not become angry, remain tension-free. If you love others, your heart beats will be maintained at the pace of 72 per minute, without increasing, and your brain will remain active ! This only is the crux of the technique of blood circulation engineer was removing the engine parts from a motorcycle._ _Suddenly he saw a famous heart surgeon in his shop. He went to him & said.. “Look at this engine… I opened its heart, took the valves out, repaired and put them back”…So why do I get such a small salary? and u get huge sums_….! _The doctor smiled at the engineer and came close to his ear and said…. “Try the same when the engine is running The engineer smiled back came close to doctors ear and said_ _I can pick any dead engine and make it alive Appappa’s Birth Centenary Year; On this occasion, we have given Lunch to Old-age and needy thro’ Akshaya Trust, Valasaravakkkam 1-due to v sudden plan,murali maama tirupathi visit chance miss! 2.harish – reliance hypermart near tirupati bus stand great offer on iphone12. v gud for baby crying photos clarity everyone in family look so happy in the pics. even badri is smiling happily in the honda city picture, and a few others. even yellow uncle tickling badri to make him laugh and distracted anand – gud to hear abt the owc. how is the food at patel canteen?
