Food Allergies

2010-04-18T03:48:00.000-07:00

A mistake is made when a food allergy occurs. Normally, your immune system protects you from germs and disease. It does this by making antibodies that help you fight off bacteria, viruses, and other tiny organisms that can make you sick. But if you have a food allergy, your immune system mistakenly treats something in a certain food as if it's really dangerous to you. The same sort of thing happens with any allergy, whether it's a medicine (like penicillin), pollen in the air (from flowers and trees), or a food, like peanuts. So the thing itself isn't harmful, but the way your body reacts to it is. If a kid with peanut allergy would have eaten that peanut-topped brownie, here's what would happen. Antibodies to something in the food would cause mast cells (a type of immune system cell in the body) to release chemicals into the bloodstream. One of these chemicals is histamine The histamine then causes symptoms that affect a person's eyes, nose, throat, respiratory system, skin, and digestive system. A person with a food allergy could have a mild reaction - or it could be more severe. An allergic reaction could happen right away or a few hours after the person eats it. Some of the first signs that a person may be having an allergic reaction could be a runny nose, an itchy skin rash such as hives, or a tingling in the tongue or lips. Other signs include: - tightness in the throat - hoarse voice - wheezing - cough - nausea - vomiting - stomach pain - diarrhea In the most serious cases, a food allergy can cause anaphylaxis. This is a sudden, severe allergic reaction in which several problems occur all at once and can involve the skin, breathing, digestion, the heart, and blood vessels. A person's blood pressure can drop, breathing tubes can narrow, and the tongue can swell. People at risk for this kind of a reaction have to be very careful and need a plan for handling emergencies, when they might need to get special medicine to stop these symptoms from getting worse.

How to write a Resume

2010-04-15T23:13:00.000-07:00

Writing a resume is something that one has to do sooner or later. You can also apply for a job without a resume. For making a life simple, it is not appropriate to wait till you find the dream job to write your resume as it would be too late at that time and there would not be sufficient time to do something of considerable importance. A resume which is not written in a good manner may spoil your chances for a good job and vice versa, a resume which is professionally written will increase your chances for a good job.

Dos and Don’ts in Writing a Resume

There are several things which should not be done when writing a resume:

- Don’t write it for any job that can appear on the scope. Think first about what type of jobs which is needed and the resume should be made according to that.
- Don’t write useless information and detail when writing the resume, there is no one who is interested to read some sort of records. The resume should be written short and precise.
- Don’t send your resume only, it will be much better to write a cover letter which is specifically written for the job announcement being applied for. So both should be tended – the resume and the cover letter. It should be remembered that there are a lot of companies that will not consider your application which does not have a cover letter.
- Don’t get too much excited for the job you are applying for when writing your resume, there can be a risk to make it sound unprofessional. If you get over excited, then people who check your resume are not, so you have to be professional.

What Should One Be Careful About When Writing A Resume

There are several things which should be considered when writing a resume:

- A resume should be always given a professional look, its structure should be made according to the rules without putting your imagination in action. It might be thought that using a certain Italic font will give it a nice look but in fact this will give it an unprofessional look. So, make your resume corresponding to the accepted standards.
- It should be made sure that the resume has been proof read twice. There is nothing which can give a bad impression of you in a resume then grammar mistakes which make you look poor educated. This has to be avoided at all cost so grammar should never be underestimated.
- When printing the resume, the good quality of paper should be selected, it must be made sure that the resume looks fine after print. People are always enthusiastic to give credit to things that look nice. No one has time to go through carelessly written documents.
- The last final thing is that you must make sure that all the information given in the sections of job experience, skills and others are honest and accurate. When accepted for the job applied, all the experience and skills mentioned in the resume will be expected from you. It will never be good to put yourself in an embarrassing situation.

Now, after learning some basic and essential tips on writing a resume, it will be very good to look for resume samples online. It has to be kept in mind that resume is not something that is written in 20 minutes and then apply for different jobs. The resume is very important for a person’s career development so enough time has to be given for it and it will definitely bring future credits for you in return.

Data Entry or Type at Home

2010-04-15T17:34:00.000-07:00

The average online Data Entry or Type At Home is
typing prewritten advertisements and submitting
these ads to various advertising sites on the
Internet. You are then paid either by the number
of sales you generate through your ad, or by the
number of clicks or site visitors your ad
produces. It is possible to earn $50-$150 an
hour doing this, but it is work. It is not
something you work at 2 hours a day, 1 day a week
and earn this kind of money. You have to put
effort into the program to be rewarded with the
kind of money the programs tell you about.

The other question brought up on the forum was
should you pay for Data Entry or Type at Home
jobs? If the program you are looking at only
offers a job with no training then the answer is "
no". However, if the job comes with complete
training, materials, and full support, and most
importantly, a money back guarantee if you are
not satisfied, then the answer is "YES!"

So many times I have had people tell me that they
earned no money doing this type of work when in
fact, they put no effort into working the program.
It was not the programs fault they made no
money, but theirs. If they were not satisfied
why didn't they ask for a refund?

If you remember nothing else from this short
article, remember this: Don't throw your money
away on a Type At Home or Data Entry "JOB", make
sure it comes with everything you need to succeed.
Work this job on the internet the same as you
would work a job offline and you will earn money!

My Plant Visit....

2007-12-26T17:31:00.000-08:00

Thirumalai Chemicals Limited (TCL) is one of the largest petrochemical industry which has a turn over of about 400 crores per year. It produces Pthalic Anhydride, Malic Anhydride, etc.. This was a very different experience for me. I came to know how Phthalic Anhydride is produced wit its raw materials... Its very interesting...

Then, we went to the stores where many different mechanical, electrical & electronic items were kept. Our Sir, explained everything & iam new to mechanical... So, this visit made me aware of many different items...
We had our electrical session & lastly came my favourite instrumentation session. This time its my turn to ask queries & the incharge was very patient, he explained us very clearly... My friends teased (just for fun) me for my queries... Thats fun, i really enjoyed it...

In the meantime, i took all my friends to my home as this plant is near to my area... We enjoyed a lot & this created nice friendship wit all....

One sad thing is, iam unable to check blogs... Its ok, i had covered all...

Here, for the first time I have attached my photo (sorry group photo). We are the team who visited TCL. We took this in TCL auditorium.

Please, dont expect me to be fair.. I wont be fair.. i think u all guessed me.. Ya...iam wearing specs. Got it... take care friends...

Merry Christmas...

2007-12-23T18:12:00.000-08:00

Sometimes around Christmas

Thoughts often come to me

While we are celebrating

Gathered around our lighted trees

While we are cozy in our homes

Before a crackling fire

With family all around us

Sharing holiday smiles

I think of the people

Sitting on the streets

With no home to go to

Or shoes upon their feet

I think of the children

With no parents of their own

And the child thats crying

Because Santa may not come

If you can remember...

When you were very young

The excitement you felt

When Christmas time begun

Getting up so early

To see what's under the tree

This year I'm giving back

Santa's been so good to me

I'm going to give food for the hungry

Buy some clothes and toys

Picking some angels from the tree

Both for girls and boys

Reading the words

Upon their tiny list

Maybe in some little way

I can fulfill their wish

Adding an item or two

That was not even there

Just to let them know

Santa truly cares

On this card that I will sign

For a moment I will pause

At the bottom I think I'll write

"Merry Christmas, From Santa Claus"

honestly... i didn't wrote dis... i thought to have something special for u all on Christmas & i came across dis... hope u all enjoy it... have a great X-mas celebration wit family & friends.... take care...

Will be back...

2007-12-14T20:31:00.000-08:00

Hi friends... Iam going for a plant visit bcoz of my training...I will be back on friday (21st Dec 07)... Miss u all... Have a nice weekend... Take care...

Remembrances...

2007-12-12T20:26:00.000-08:00

On the very first day of my college life
I was tensed on seeing many new faces
On watching many telugu people
I thought I was left in the wild forest all alone
As I cant mingle with them due to my poor english

But then, I dont know how u all interacted with me
Gave that much courage to talk....
Corrected me when I was wrong....
Encouraged me when Iam doing my best....
Supported me during my weaknesses....

Its my luck to have u all as my friends
The way u all guarded me
When commented by other guys
The care, affection... u all showered on me
I was wondering how i got u all....

I realized that i got many nice hearts
Who are thinking abot me & my happiness
Now, I too can talk fluently (littlebit)
Iam having courage & confidence that I can learn more
This is all bcoz of u.... friends...

Miss u all....

Am I wrong...Friend...

2007-12-07T20:37:00.000-08:00

She went without saying a word
What have I done?
I told dont be too happy/sad
Whatever it is take it in a easy way
Bcoz of this she left me???
Ya...I told this when she was very happy
She thought that I dont like her to be happy
She misconstrued me

I thought my friend should tackle all situations
Without losing courage, confidence...
Even we are not together
I thought others should not laugh at my friend
For her silly doings....
I thought my friend should be perfect
Is this a reason for avoiding me???
Ya... She thought Iam always criticising her

I want to be a true friend
Who laughs & criticizes for right reasons
I dont have any partiality in friendship
All are equal to me
But how can she say that she had less affection
On me than our other friends???
At last...I realized that Iam worrying about a friend
Who didnt thinks about me....

Departing Moment...

2007-12-02T22:44:00.000-08:00

First, when i came here
The environment was very new to me
I cried for being alone
Leaving my mom & dad for the first time
Its really hard for me to tolerate this
My mom went without saying a word
I know she too cried
My dad too struggled to say bye
I know he too felt for me....

Days went, months went
And now, Iam happy
Having many new friends (including blog friends)
Who are making me always happy
Now, when Iam going to home
I was eager to see my parents
While Iam returning
I used to be active
As I will be back with my friends...

I should thank "Time"
For making me to suit for everything
When I left my hostel
I was happy that Iam moving to a new place
But, only during our departure time
We will come to know the true hearts who loved us
Ya... I too got many
Though I didnt talked that much
I miss them a lot....

This is what life
No one can stick to us permanently...

I know....

2007-11-26T19:12:00.000-08:00

My dear...

I know...
That u are not feeling well
But, u lie me that u r well
I know...
That u are having many problems
But, u pretend to be very happy
I know...
That u didnt slept well
But, u will say that u had a very nice sleep
I know...
That u want me to be always happy
But, i will share all ur sufferings without ur knowledge
U know...
Only distance can separate us
But, not my memories which is always with u

Take care dear
Iam always waiting for u....

What's wrong in Resigning???

2007-11-25T23:41:00.000-08:00

When we are in a nice designation, the Company offers more respect on us based on our character, hardwork, sincerity, etc. When we quit our job bcoz of many reasons, the Company behaves differently on us. Though we have many years of experience, on receiving our resignation letter, they treat us in a very worst manner. I dont know how they are forgetting our truthfulness, hardwork, etc. Our Seniors who are very close & good to us are suddenly changing worst after knowing that we are going to quit & increase his/her work burden. See, we are quitting bcoz of our health problem, personal problem, career growth, etc. How can they treat like this?

If that Company was true, they should treat well even after the resignation. Then only we will have respect on our previous Company.

This is one of the major issue which all employees are facing now. Even i too experienced this kind of treatment in my previous job. Now, my friends, cousins are also facing such issues...

A solution should come for this issue.....

10 Things...

2007-11-23T19:51:00.000-08:00

Helping the Orphans.
Punishing severely those who are spitting in the public place.
Making India to have a single rule with strict discipline & no political disturbances.
Making India to be free from beggars.
Be a part of Harry Potter movies.
Do something useful which makes my name last forever.

"Wish u all a very happy Karthigai Deepam"

A Snake Soul....

2007-11-22T18:27:00.000-08:00

Janu dont know where she is standing. The
place seems to be very new to her. Its very dark. Janu is already very scared off dark. She feels that something is moving around her. She can guess it. Ya... its a snake. But its still dark, she can't see it. Suddenly, some light flashes & now she can view what's moving. She is stunned by seeing all variety of snakes hanging & moving here & there around her. She don't know what to do. Where to run??? Atlast she thought to run, but the snake which is very near to her, bites her.

No one is there to help her. She know that she is dying. Ya... she is dead. Suddenly, her soul rises from her body. Instead of taking her form, the soul takes a snake form. She can view what is happening there, not knowing how she can able to see it as she is dead. She is muttering something, which causes her snake soul to enter her body again. She can feel it as it enters her body. She suddenly open her eyes, her heart beats
very fast, her hands are shivering, dont know whether she is dead or alive. She then realizes that its just a dream..... a very worst dream she ever had.....

Something which i enjoyed....

2007-11-15T18:17:00.000-08:00

"Having a true friend is like having the whole world in your hand"

"It is not that iam afraid to die
It is that if i die
Who will love you as i do"

The above two quotes are my favourite ones.

"So much to say that i love u
Now that so much i need u
How it would be if u need me
Feel it for me to believe me
Iam on in love but not alone
Living for u & dying for u
Iam on in love but not alone
Living for u...& dying....for u...."

Honestly...i didnt wrote this. this is a song from Santhosham (telugu movie) which is so touchy when u hear it. i dont know whether my lyrics is rite (sorry if iam wrong). it has its telugu version too... hope u all enjoy it...

Diwali Celebration...

2007-11-12T19:38:00.000-08:00

Diwali is celebrated on new moon day. Many of us will have Nombu which is celebrated on new moon day & the day before new moon day is considered as our diwali. So we will have two days to celebrate.

For the first day, we have to cook non-veg. We prepare dosai & along with sugar we devote this to God. We convey our wishes to our relatives & neighbours. After that we will cook non-veg. Then we will fire crackers. Also we will watch our TV programs.

For the second day, its purely veg. Elders will have fastings. We prepare many varieties of food & also we prepare our special item "Athirasam" (sweet & very delicious one) along with "Murukku/Elladai" (lite spicy one) which we will keep in a clay pot in the center of our pooja room. The clay pot will have odd number of dots of turmeric & kungumam. In that we keep some athirasam & murukku/elladai, flowers, betels & betel nuts, kungumam, turmeric & thaali kayer (sorry dont know its english name. A yellow rope which we used to wear after marriage as a symbol of married women. Very effective one) & lastly nombu kayer (a different yellow rope with pink colour in the middle which we tie in our hands which acts as a symbol of nombu). This nombu kayer will be in different
colours depending their family culture. After devoting this to God, we have to get blessings from family elder person (father or grandpa) & they will give a set which contains all what we kept in clay pot. Then we have to tie the nombu kayer in our hands, then we must eat all the things which we got from elder (except that betel & betel nuts, i will give it to my mom). The point is only those who are having nombu only can eat the things in clay pot. Others cant.

Next, distribution of this athirasam, murukku & sweets to relatives & neighbours will commence.

This time we didnt took nombu bcoz of my grandpa's death. If we didnt take nombu then we cant do this upto three years. Thats why we planned to take on Karthigai Deepam. So that we can continue this without any interruption.

Karthigai Deepam (24 Nov 2007)

Celebrated on the full moon day in the Karthigai month, the annual Karthigai Deepam festival is viewed by many as an extension of the Hindu Deepavali (or Diwali) festival. And like Deepavali, devotees light candles and lanterns in their homes creating an incredible spectacle.

Traditional Costumes-5

Below is about the traditional costumes of North India..

Punjab:

Punjab & Haryana are famous for the "phulkari" (flower-work) shawls which is worn with a tight-fitting choli & gaghra. Phulkari forms the traditional costume of rural woman of this region.

For ceremonial occasions, a special kind of phulkari known as a "bagh" (garden) was made, in which the whole of the ground was covered with embroidery. On the birth of a baby, the grandmother, after a ceremony of prayers & distribution of sweets to the baby's aunts, would start to embroider a bagh. It would take several years to complete & was embroidered with special care to be used later at the grandchild's wedding, after which it would be kept as a family treasure.

Punjabi girls & women wear salwar kameez's with bright colored duppattas. Kameez is the shirt or top piece & salwar is the pant or bottom piece.

Mens & boys generally wear loose pants or slacks with a collared shirt or t-shirt. Some will wear the kurta pajama.

Rajasthan:

Women's attire

Rajasthani women wear ankle-length long skirts with narrow waist that gain width like an umbrella at the base. It is called ghaghara. The width & the no. of pleats in the ghaghara symbolize ones prosperity. Kurti or choli acts as top/blouse. The odhani is a cotton cloth of about 3m long & about 2m wide that is tucked in the skirt while the other end is taken over the head & the right
shoulder.

Men's attire

They wear a turban of various colour, an angrakha or achakan as the upper garment & dhoti or pyjama as the lower garment.

Jammu & Kashmir:

A muslim womans pheran is knee length, loose & embroidered in front & on the edges, a hindu womans pheran touches her feet. For the sake
of smartness & ease it is tied at the waist with folded material called Ihungi. Hindu costume has head-dress called taranga, which is tied to a hanging bonnet & tapers down to the heels from behind.

Traditional Costumes-4

2007-10-17T19:11:00.000-07:00

Here are the costumes for East India...

West Bengal:

"Catching the cold" comes easy to Bengalis. Wrapped in layers of warm clothing even if the sun is boiling the mercury, a baby learns quickly that his chances of survival in a Bengali household depend on how tightly he can wrap himself in cotton, linen & wool. Bengalis have almost romanticised warm clothing, so much so that Bengali art has found eloquent expression in a form of quilt-stitchwork called Kantha.

(Kalyan-this post remains me about u...)

Assam:

The traditional costume of the Assamese women is known as the "Mekhala & Chadar". The women of Assam weave fairy tales in their looms. Skill to weave was the primary qualification
of a young girl for her eligibility for marriage.

Gandhiji, during his famous tour to promote khadi & swadeshi, was so moved that he remarked "Assamese women weave fairy tales in their clothes!".

Traditionally men folk of plains wear mill- made dhoties & small or big sized sola/fatua (shirt) & vest or eri-chaddar.

Assamese women use riha-mekhela-sadar. The long flowing skirt up to the ankles is known as mekhela and the upper garment riha. The red coloured pattern at the end of the riha is graceful and symbolic. It is said that the dress of mehkela & the riha chaddar has been adopted from the Tibetan & Burmese women.

Orissa:

Odissi is the traditional dance of Orissa. The costume is similar to that of traditional Bharathanatyam costume. The Orissa saris were draped around the dancers in a specific manner for the costume.

Orissa is a thickly tribal inhabited state, consisting of 62 tribes living in different parts of the state. to the tribals, dress is a cultural need & it is also a part of their tradition. The tribals use separate costumes at the time of festivals & ceremonies. In a specific tribe the dresses from birth to old age has immense variety.

Traditional Costumes-3

2007-10-16T19:28:00.000-07:00

Pappu.. hey keyaaa...

2007-10-09T18:56:00.000-07:00

Recently, I came across an article which I enjoyed a lot. I thought to share with u all. Here it is...

That was an Apartment which had different cultured people. One newly married telugu lady came to that Apartment. In Hindi, kids are referred as pappu, babblu, munnee (i think so). One north Indian lady came to that telugu lady's house & asked her "Pappu.. hey keyaaa..." (Is pappu here?). That telugu lady know some hindi. In telugu pappu means paruppu (dhal). So she went & came with a box which had dhal in it. She showed it to her & asked her to take it. That north Indian lady got confused & again asked her "pappu... nahee hey.." (Is pappu not here). Telugu lady thought that she is asking ghee (she took that "nahee" as "neiy"). Again she came with two boxes, one containing dhal & other with ghee. That north Indian lady got tensed & thought she is insulting her..

At that time, another lady came their to ask whats going. This lady know both the languages & explained each with their own mother tongue. They cant help laughing about what they did...

Traditional South Indian Dresses....

2007-10-08T19:12:00.000-07:00

Kids used to wear "Pattu Paavaadai"

Teenage used to wear "Half Saree"

Adults used to wear "Saree"

This is "Pattu Sarees" which we wear during functions.

Double Weight....

2007-10-05T19:24:00.000-07:00

When I did my schooling, my school was very near to my house. It takes just 5 minutes to walk. I used to come to home for lunch. We enjoyed a lot. We were lucky....

But now the type of schooling in main cities seems to be very difficult. Students are carrying a bag which weigh double their actual weight. Iam sure that they had to eat extra for carrying their bags. Those who are travelling in buses (especially government buses) are suffering a lot. They get more scoldings in addition to their pain y bcoz they occupy more space in the bus. Just imagine how they manage in a overcrowd bus...

How sad it is? Due to the technology improvement, students are forced to study more in their school days.... Something should come to reduce their bag weight like having CDs.....

This remains me about a song in "Mugavaree".

Our Culture...

2007-10-04T18:49:00.000-07:00

One of our friend in our hostel thought to see separate house for her and her friends. When our sister (Warden) heard this, she told her about another girl who is at present staying alone in a house. Though she felt something wrong, she had no choice to avoid this. She went with the sister to see that house. She liked that house and the girl moved well. She got information from the sister that the girl was staying with her brother and at present he went for onsite. So the girl is staying alone and she is so scared of that.

At last, our friend said ok and she told she will shift soon. But within a day, the girl talked to our friend to come and stay that night as she is alone. So our friend went to stay with her that night. The way she dressed and the way she talked with our friend seemed to be very odd. Our friend felt very shy. For this the girl coolly replied "whats wrong with u". The girl even added that chennai girls will be like this only. The girl threatened our friend not to use mobile. Our friend didnt slept that night and she came to hostel early in the morning itself.

See, we are coming from different places to chennai particularly for our studies,
employment, etc. We have to pick the right one from others not the bad one. Now, the modern culture has become very worst.

Being a girl, I felt ashamed in the culture the girls are following now. Boys wont tease us if we dress properly.

Our Nation is respected for our culture too. Many foreigners like our culture. They are transferring to our culture. This is a good one. But, what we are doing?.... Simply moving to their culture in the name of modern culture....

Girls... please think for a while... If I hurt anyone, I apologies....

Sorry... Iam late...

2007-10-03T19:10:00.000-07:00

Hai friends... Sorry, I missed u all for nearly a week... Its all bcoz of my health problem. Now feeling better....

Belated Gandhi Jayanthi wishes...

Buddies... my kind request is just take care of ur healths. Try to take more fruits and fresh juices. Pls avoid taking drinks which comes in bottles. Its dangerous for us... Take care friends....

Vellore Fort..

2007-09-26T19:09:00.000-07:00

This about my native place....

Vellore Fort is a large historic 16th Century fort situated in Vellore town near Chennai in Tamil Nadu, India. It passed from the Nayaks to Bijapur Sultans, then Marathas and to Carnatic Nawabs and finally to British till Independence. During the British rule the fort had Tipu Sultan's family and the last Nayak king of Kandy (Sri Lanka) in captivity. The Fort also houses a Hindu temple, Christian church and Muslim mosque. The first rebellion against British rule erupted at this fort in 1806. The Fort is considered to be one the best specimen of a ground fort in
India and the Temple within the Fort is famous for the magnificent carvings. The Fort is also a witness to the tragic massacre of the Vijayanagara royal family of Emperor Sriranga Raya.

The present day Chennai region and Tirupathi were under the domains of this Fort.

Construction:

The Built area is around 133 acres, situated within the broken range of Eastern Ghats near Palar riverbanks. The walls are constructed using heavy blocks of green granite rocks sourced from nearby hills in Arcot and Chitoor Districts.

The fortification consists of a main rampart broken at irregular intervals by round towers and rectangular projections. The fort is surrounded by a moat which was once filled with crocodiles to create a extra line of defense. This broad moat is fed with water by subterranean drains from the Suryagunta tank. The fort is considered to one of the most perfect specimens of military architecture in
Southern India and is known for its grand ramparts, wide moat and robust masonry. The Vellore Fort is now maintained by the Archaeological Survey of India.

There is supposed to be a tunnel deep below the fort leading to a temple in a village known as Virinjipuram exactly 12 Kms away. The king used that in order to escape if there were any major attacks. The tunnel still exist but its been closed due to some problems, the mouth of the tunnel in Virinjipuram temple can be seen. It is placed near mother goddess. Its remained closed for years since there might be dangerous gas or reptiles inside. Some people say that some archeologists have tried exploring that but didn't return.

Jalakanteswarar Temple

The large impressive Siva temple was built about the same time as the fort in
Vijayanagara architecture style and is located on the Northern wall within the fort. The lingam of Lord Shiva gets its name from the natural underground spring upon which it resides, on of the reasons why the moat has never dried, no matter how severe a drought. Named after Jalakanteswara, or “Lord Siva residing in the water”, the temple has a Nataraja Siva deity on the northern altar and Siva-lingam on the western altar.

The 30m (100ft) high, seven-storey Gopuram is made of blue granite, flanked by two carved dwarpalas (door guards). The temple is renowned for the magnificent carvings on the pillars of the kalyana mandapam (Marriage Hall) which are fashioned as rearing lions, horses with riders, yalis and other mythical beasts and considered to be one of the most impressive in India. The temple itself is now cared for by a trust and re-established as a place of worship.

Mosque

The Mosque built by the Muslim rulers is situated inside the fort signifies the
earliest Islamic structure in the town.

Church

A British era Church in the same fort complex is known impressive stairway and its bell tower. On the right of the Fort there is a cemetery for British officers Soldiers killed in the final campaign against Tipu Sultan and in the following 1806 Sepoy Mutiny.

First Sepoy Mutiny

In 1806, the Vellore fort was used by the British to station Infantry Military units of the Madras Regiment.The British Commander in chief of the Madras Army prescribed a new round hat for soldiers replacing the turbans and removal of beards, caste markings and jewellery, which the Sepoys considered offensive and were further fuelled by rumours that the hat was made of the hide of cows and
pigs.

On July 10, 1806, before sunrise, Indian Sepoys stationed in the Fort attacked the European barracks stationed there, and by late morning killed around 15 Officers and 100 English soldiers and ransacking their houses. Some of the rebelling Soldiers also instigated the sons of Tipu Sultan to lead the campaign. The news quickly reached a Colonel commanding the Cavalry Cantonment in
Arcot, who reached the Fort reached with heavy battalions and quickly put down the rebelling solders. The rebelling native Sepoys numbering more than 800 were
mercilessly hounded and killed. By noon the rebellion was put down. The events lead to a Court inquiry by the British who also decided to shift Tipu Sultans family from Vellore to faraway Calcutta in isolation.

The news of the Vellore Rebellion sent shockwaves in England. The Governor, William Bentinck and Commander-in-Chief of the Madras Army, Sir John Cradock both were recalled on this count.

Family of Tipu Sultan

The Tombs of Bakshi Begum (d.1806), widow of Hyder Ali and Padshah Begum, Tipu's wife, who died in 1834 are located with a kilometre to the eastern side of the Fort.

Tremendous Victory...

2007-09-24T19:01:00.000-07:00

India Vs Pakistan in the World cup Twenty-Twenty became much fame all over the world. This match is obviously an highly expected one. Winning the cup that too against Pakistan is a must for us, not only in this match but also in future matches too...

Really our team played well and fulfilled all our expectations. I hope this spirit will continue for the forecoming matches...

After a long gap, again I started to pray for our team... It was like waiting for a semester result.... That much I was tensed...I know, I was not the one to be tensed... everyone will be like me in this situation...

Golconda Fort....

2007-09-22T00:43:00.000-07:00

An incredible and wonderful fort...

I visited this place during my third year tour.

Introduction:

Located west of Hyderabad, capital of ancient Hyderabad state (c. 1364–1512), it was later one of the five Muslim kingdoms of the Deccan known as Deccan sultanates until it was captured by the Mughal Aurangzeb's forces in 1687.

It was very famous for its diamond mines.

History:

According to a legend, the fort derives its name from Golla Konda, its a Telugu word for Shepherd's Hill. It is believed that a shepherd boy came across an idol on the hill. This led to the construction of a mud fort by the then Kakatiya dynasty ruler of the kingdom around the site.

This was later conquered by the Islamic Bahmani Sultanat. The fort became the capital of a major province in the Sultanate and after its collapse the capital of the Qutb Shahi kings. The fort finally fell into ruins after a siege and its fall to Mughal emperor Aurangazeb.

Features:

Golconda consists of four distinct forts with a 10 km long outer wall with 87 semi circular bastions. Still mounted with cannons, eight gateways, four drawbridges and number of royal apartments and halls, temples, mosques, magazines, stables etc, inside. The lowest of these is the outermost enclosure into which
we enter by the "Fateh Darwaza" (Victory gate, so called after Aurangzeb’s triumphant army marched in through this gate) studded with giant iron spikes (to prevent elephants from battering them down) near the south-eastern corner.

At Fateh Darwaza can be experienced the fantastic acoustic effects, characteristic of the engineering marvels at Golconda. A hand clap at a certain point below the dome at the entrance reverberates and can be heard clearly at the 'Bala Hisar' pavilion, the highest point almost a kilometre away, this worked as a warning note to the royals in case of an attack.

Soldiers Selection:

We saw a weight (dont know its actual weight), which was lifted by four of my
friends together. The guide then said that the soldiers of this fort has to lift it &
had to walk some distance that too individually. We heard this with openmouthed. That much strength they had.

The Court:

Then we saw a place where judgements are given to various punishments. The king will be seated in the top place much above the accused person. The accused person has to stand in a circle, the speciality to stand in that particular circle is that any little bit of noise made by that person can be heard very clearly. This is made to protect the King while he is giving punishments as some person can throw knifes towards the King.

Tombs:

The tombs of the Qutb Shahi sultans lie about one kilometer north of Golkonda's outer wall. These structures are made of beautifully carved stonework, and surrounded by landscaped gardens.

Tomb-of-Subhan-Quli-Qutb-Shah

Tomb-of-Abdullah-Qutb-Shah

Tomb-of-Ibrahim-Quli-Qutb-Shah

Tomb-of-Jamsheed-Quli-Qutb-Shah

Tomb-of-Muhammad-Quli-Qutb-Shah

Tomb-of-Muhammad-Qutb-Shah

Tomb-of-Sultan-Quli-Qutb-ul-Mulk

Embarrassing moment...

2007-09-20T19:16:00.000-07:00

Yesterday I befallen to see my brother in Thiruvanmiyur. He is just 1 month old than me. As Iam new to chennai, he took me to the Besant Nagar beach. We talked for an hour as we met after a long time.

In the meantime, two young girls came to sell sundal (a snack) to us. She immediately told to my brother as "anna get sundal for annee (brother's wife) by pointing me". We told no to them. Then we continued to talk casually. But i felt very bad about this incident.

See, I cant blame anyone. Bcoz now the situation is like that. If a boy and a girl met in some place, then all were thinking as lover's. They may be good friends, brother-sister (like us)....

This is my most embarrassing moment....

Belated Chathurthi Wishes...

2007-09-16T18:58:00.000-07:00

Equal to God....

2007-09-07T20:31:00.000-07:00

Last week, when I was travelling to my native, I happened to met a person. Her name is Radhika. We didnt got seat. So we travelled by standing. Initially, we both had a smile.

Then she started to talk with me. I came to know that she had completed her nursing course and presently she is working in Meenaakshi Hospital (Chennai). She was so tired and sleepy. Then she told me that for the past 15 days she was in night shift and also sometimes she continued till 1 'o' clock in the afternoon. I felt very sorry for her.

She asked about my job timings. I told that I used to be in first shift. She confirmed this innocently. Then we continued our chatting. I think everyone thought that we are very familiar to each other. Then lastly, I told her to have nice weekend and to take rest, take care of her health as she is too weak.

Now, night shift is a familiar one. Ya, I accept that everyone is facing many problems due to this. Other than hospitals, many other technical and non-technical companies are having night shifts.

But, I feel very proud about those who are working in hospitals, etc. Why bcoz, we are doing it for money. But they are doing it for service and also for money. So, I think they are saving Gods for us....

Reasons for divorce....

2007-09-06T18:40:00.000-07:00

Nowadays, divorce has become a fashion. We happen to hear many news about this.

According to me, a wife should be one who can adjust well and she can avoid all problems. She can solve any kind of trouble. This suits for the husband too. He should not blindly support anyone. He had to analyse the situation and then he had to support them. He should be able to convince both his parents and wife.

Some reasons for divorce are: They dont like their partner, Misunderstanding between them, Not taking care of their spouse parents like their own parents, Due to job, Bcoz of salary, Due to parents as they used to say something wrong about their partner, May be their partner sometimes rude, Lack of manners, etc...

By this they are affecting their childrens mentality. Just think about your child, your memories with your partner, how you will be in your future. Iam sure that you can take a right decision after that....

The main magical word between a very nice couple is "Mutual understanding". Just be open to your partner even when you have done wrong. Say it politely. Sure your partner wont mistake you if he/she loves you truly...

If i hurt anyone, i apologies....

Being Straightforward....

2007-08-30T20:24:00.000-07:00

I used to be straightforward. I thought this is a good quality. Ya, ofcourse it is. But, this is not suited for our present environment. I had a great lesson bcoz of
this.

Iam bold enough to say whether others are doing good or bad, even to my elders. I will say what iam thinking. I just compare their wrong things with me. If so, I will try to change my own fault before telling to others.

One of my roommate, she is elder than me. She is still doing some mistakes and she wont accept it when pointed. She is polite only. I should accept it. By pointing her mistakes, she thought me as a person, who never understands.

So, just think before, when you are saying anything negative about a person.

When any person appreciates our qualities, we used to show more affection to them. At the same time, if they pointed out our negative things, we are very rude to them. This is nature.

Will you think of me...

2007-08-29T20:15:00.000-07:00

At present
When you are smiling
Iam not with you
To enjoy it...

At present
When you are crying
Iam not with you
To give my shoulder...

At present
When you are sleeping
Iam not with you
To make you sleep well...

But
When you think of me
Iam always with you
To make your heart full of my love...

Will you think of me...

Early in the morning...

2007-08-28T21:14:00.000-07:00

Though its difficult to wake in the morning
Iam active afterwards...
I will get ready soon
To catch my bus...
I will sit in the window seat
This is my precious moment...

I will inhale the fresh air
This is pollution free...
I will see the sunrise
What a beauty...
Our bus will go fast
As its traffic free...

Iam sure many are missing it
Iam enjoying it...

Pain of Love.....

2007-08-24T20:37:00.000-07:00

When my buddies told about this
I just thought its a feeling...
But, when I fallen in this
Iam realising it...

I was bold to face anyone
But, when I saw you
I was lacked of words...
The way you hold my hands
It showed your gentleness, affection...
This is what I wanted
Its enough for me to live...

Now, I understood
This is the most joyful feeling...
And also
This is the most painful feeling...

What a Pity?....

2007-08-23T20:21:00.000-07:00

I was in a bus, when I saw a small boy around 8 to 10 years, who was begging for money. Iam a softhearted girl, I always used to give money to such people. Most of my friends scold me for doing like this. So, this time I was sure not to give money to that boy. Thank God, he didnt came near to me. After that, when my bus started moving, I saw that boy with his mother and sister (I think so..). I was very upset, bcoz his mother was buying something from his money. They seems to be physically well. Why can't she do some work and save her children. This hurts me a lot... No one in the political is taking a right action against this issue.

Proper action should be taken to those who are spitting on the way. Immediate
punishments should be given like other places. Then only our India will become a good nation. I don't know when this will happen......

Chillarai Conductor....

2007-08-20T20:21:00.000-07:00

As my company is in Thiruvanmiyur, I used to travel from Thiruvanmiyur towards Porur regularly. Two conductors were very familiar to us and they are kind too. Another one was familiar to us, but he was very rude to the passengers. The way he treats was very bad. We dont like him. Whenever he comes, immediately he tells us to keep our change correctly as he had no change with him. If the person is not having change, he immediately stops the bus and ask that person to get down soon. He even uses harsh words. So, we had given a name to him as "Chillarai Conductor".

See, its the duty of a conductor to bring some required changes when he gets into the bus. Bcoz of him, all were generally scolding the conductors. This hurts the others who are good in their work.....

We went to Okkenakkal in our final year tour. After playing in water, we had our boat riding. I can't remember the name of boat (adhanppa... film-la rounda thattu maathiri irukkumae...). Usually iam scared of boat riding (adhuvum intha boat-la.... suththam...). Finally, we agreed to travel in that boat. Our friends splitted in to 6 to 7 and started to take different boats.

We around 6 girls took a boat. That boat rider asked us to sit properly. Atlast we started our ride. In the midway of our journey, the water level was very close to
our boat height (konjam shake aanaa kuda thanne ulla vandhudum....erkanavae boat ulla iruntha thanneeyala enga dress eeramaayeduchu....ithu verayaa..). My friend thought to put her fingers in the water as it is so close. Suddenly, that boat rider shouted at her, not to put her fingers in the water.

Then he said, ten days before our journey, a group travelled just like us including a kid. When the kid enjoyed himself by waveing his fingers in the water, an unexpected thing happened. A crocodile caught his hand. It was pulling him hardly that the boat seems to have a tilt. Immediately, that boat rider asked his mother to leave his child to the crocodile or everyone will die. After great
difficulty the child has been taken by that crocodile.

We were stunned by hearing this. we are in the midway (emppa... intha nerathulayaa ippadi solrathu... romba kashtamdhaan.... aanaa enakku ippa uyirae illaatha maathiri oru feeling....).

By God's grace, we reached safely to the land. That was my worst experience. So, friends be careful while you are boating. Okey......

How to pronounce my name?....

2007-08-12T21:21:00.000-07:00

I should thank Kuttipriya for giving such a nice idea of making others happy (try pandren pa). I happened to read her blog regarding her name and its way of pronouncing. Then i remembered, my name is also pronounced differently.

Here Iam writing...

My parents kept my name as Kalaiselvi becoz of Goddess Kalaivani...

When people pronounce my name differently, my head is suthefying (adaanppa thali sutharathu..)

My cousin, he is now studying 3rd standard. When he was 2 years old, he used to call me as "Kalee akka" (ennathu kaleeya...). When I was talking to my mama through phone, I will ask him to call his son (kutty paiyen ella, pesa aasaya irukkum). Then he calls his son and says "un Kali akka line-la irukkaa da". Then my cousin says "Kali akka nallaa irukkeya". I was happy to hear his voice but
that "Kali" is disturbing a lot.

Thank God, now he is talking as "Kalai akka, samartha irukkanum" (enna pandrathu, romba periya manushan solran, ketuthaan aaganum).

In my school days, some will call me as "Kalai" and some will call me as "Selvi" or "Kalaiselvi" (eethu evvalavoo paravaa ella).

During my college life, one lecturer used to call me as "Kaalai Selvi" (ennathu
kaalaiyaa.. naan enna maadaappa) bcoz of the seminaar i took (seerikkadeengappa... nallathaan eduthen, adanaala thaan anda peru).

After that, I heard someone calling me as "Kolaiselvi" (ethu romba... ovaru. naan enna kolaiya panna poren).

Romba mosamppa... ennoda appa, amma saamy pera vecha, ippadi pannaa eppadi...

Vijay TV is Amazing....

2007-08-09T22:16:00.000-07:00

Now, Vijay TV is doing a very great job.

Few months before, though we have many channels, we used to stick to Sun TV (especially for the serials). Now things have changed.

By having many programs like Airtel Super Singer Senior, Grand Master, Kalakka Povathu Yaru, Jodi No.1, Jodi No.1 Challenge, Airtel Super Singer Junior, now Jodi No.1 Season 2..., it obviously attracted many people towards it.

Don't think that Iam against Sun TV and other channels. With this tough competition, Vijay TV is doing its level best. We have to appreciate it. Hats off....

By exposing many talents, it created an eager expectations...

Good Work Vijay TV....

What a Humanityy...

2007-08-08T23:32:00.000-07:00

When I was travelling in bus from Thiruvanmiyur to Butt Road, I happened to see a lady who got into the bus in Madhya Kailaash stopping. She was not that much fair, but seems to be homely. I can't stop glancing her, becoz she is pregnant. I guessed that she is nearly 8 to 9 months. The bus is not that much crowd. Conductor told her to take an empty seat which is in the back. But the lady told that she can't sit in the back. That was clear, its dangerous to her.

I was sitting in the middle of the bus. She was far away from me. What made me sad is, those who are sitting in the womens seat near to her are young girls.

Its obvious that they are physically well and they are chatting. No one thought to give her a seat.

I felt guilty and I asked the person in front of me to call her. Then I gave my seat to her. I thought to stand but luckily I got a seat that too next to her. She told me that in her previous journey, no one helped her and she travelled by standing all the way. This made me shame. I just told her to avoid travelling and take care.

Why ladies? See.. She is not pretending. I don't know where the kindness with you are gone.

Iam not blaming males. How can I blame them when ladies are simply sitting? Think......

Funny Translations

2007-08-07T21:58:00.000-07:00

This is about the English movies, which are translated in Tamil.

Recently i happened to see the Mummy movie in Tamil. I had already watched it in English. It was very serious not knowing what is going to happen in the end. But when i saw it in Tamil, i can't stop laughing. The reason is the way they translated it. The actress is saying "Paatheengala naan eppadi kandu pudichennu". Actually, the Mummy and its slaves are coming to grab them. Not knowing that she is saying like that.

Another one is Jackie's Shanghai Noon and Shanghai Knights. In this movie Owen Wilson and Jackie are becoming friends. Owen is actually a thief, who steals many things especially in trains. In Tamil, he is a pakka local thief using words like "eeppa eennaa solra nee" "eennaa appaala vareeya" "eennaa summa kooveganae irukka" and many more. This is really funny to watch.

If you got a chance to watch it in Tamil, don't miss it. Enjoy....

A Painful Argument

2007-08-07T18:28:00.000-07:00

I and my roommates had an argument about gods and goddesses. Ours is a four members room. Of these three of them are hindus and one elder akka is a christian. We used to have great respect on her. Whenever we start discuss interestingly about our gods, goddesses, prayers, fastings, etc., she often interrupts and says that hindu gods and goddesses had a very luxury life, they had many powers, etc. She immediately starts to tell us about Jesus and his simplicity life. She often dominates us. Though we have lots of points to argue with her, we used to maintain silence. The reason beyond this are, she is elder than us, we dont want to hurt her and ofcourse we have great respect on Jesus and Allah.
According to my thought, God is one. We people, used to have different names to pray according to our wish.
To me Jesus, Allah, Ganesh, etc., are all equal.This is not to hurt anyone, just to make you all think.....
