தேடிச் சோறுநிதந் தின்று
பல சின்னஞ் சிறுகதைகள் பேசி
மனம் வாடித் துன்பமிக உழன்று
பிறர் வாடப் பல செயல்கள் செய்து
நரை கூடிப் கிழப்பருவம் எய்தி
கொடுங் கூற்றுக் கிரையெனப்பின் மாயும்
பல வேடிக்கை மனிதரைப் போலே
நான் வீழ்வே னென்று நினைத்தாயோ?

Beware of MLM guys at shopping MALS
You will be shopping alone or with your family at a famous shopping MAL and most of the time discuss with your family in your mother tongue (TAMIL). All of a sudden, somebody coming into that aisle, will smile at you and start talking to you.
I am just translating the experience I had at one of the Indian Grocery store at California.
MLM guy: Oh you are Tamil? isit?
I : yeah I am from Chennai.
MLM guy: Which part of Chennai? Next question follows.
I: I am from Manapakkam.
MLM guy: Oh really? I am from Guindy! See how close we are?
MLM guy: When did you come to US?
I: I came here on January.
MLM guy: Where are you staying now? Here in SunnyVale.
I: Oh no, I am in San Roman.
MLM guy: Oh is it? I am going to San Roman now to meet my friend, Come let me give a ride to your home.
I: Oh Thank you sir, (I am happy, no need to go by bus right?)
MLM guy: Give me your contact number. I will add to my contact list.
I: Oh sure (I gave me number).
(Note that guy is not allowing me to talk and think, and keep on asking subsequent questions. Thats their skill)
He drops me at home and went, some days later, called me and said we are having a business meeting at San Roman this week Saturday at 6.30pm, can you join us? It will be helpful to you and your family.
I did not attend that meeting. The next day he called me and said we have been waiting for you and went to the meeting late. Its okay no problem, will let you know the next meeting schedule; please try to attend that, without fail. He keeps on disturbing me like that and I end up changing my mobile contract.
So beware of people, who are talking voluntarily to you at any Shopping mall, they are talking to you with some hidden agenda. They are trying to add you into their MLM network. They will force you even if you are not interested and keep on wasting you valuable time.
We can forgive people who have stolen our money but not the one trying to steel our TIME.

Traveling is a journey not only outer!
Moving from one place to another for work gives us lot many trouble like packing, shifting and arranging, for these reason most of us do not want to shift from our comfort home. On the contrary, moving from one place to another teaches lot more lessons then one expect.
The place we just moved in would be entirely new to us, we are forced to meet new people, new challenges, we need to understand their culture, we have to learn the local language. Migration gives us fresh air to breath, new places to see and above all it attacks our ego at its very root.
When i first moved from my home town to Bangalore (High tech city), there was a huge difference in life style, work culture, calling seniors by name everything was new to me.
Now, when i move from my home Country to another country, everything is absolutely new. Right from my work to the community i live. Everyday there are new challenges, in those challenging situation i turn my attention towards GOD, towards my internal self, there would be an absolute surrender to the divine self, this surrender to the Self, gives the internal guidance and ability to face the challenges, and increases my faith in the divine self.
I feel traveling helps a person to evolve, make him versatile and above all shatters his ego and makes the person more humble, gives him an opportunity to remember and surrender to GOD, reinforces the connection between him and his divine Self.
