I was on my laptop transferring songs to my guest as per their need and was busy in downloading it from the net.As i was doing it the light on my phone flashed and following it was my ringtone.I was getting a call from my school mate Mohan...Wondering what for he is calling i picked up.Any news about MARIA??i replied no...
8:30PM
I was asking my friend MARIA NAZRENE DAVID SHAMEER to wake up,who was sleeping in the hall..Dude get up its me lets go for a ride..Come lets chill ourselves....Long time since we have burnt our rubbers!!!..
10:30PM
Maria is a guy whom i call as THE BIKER or even A MANIAC..Any stuff about automobiles he would just blow ur mind with his knowledge and he keeps himself updated with recent developments and launches.His love for BIKES is outstanding and i would say he WORSHIPS his BIKE and treats it more than anything one can dream about...He owns a PULSAR-200 and the care he takes to maintain his bike is inspiring.All this knowledge as well as his care and thirst for power,race,bikes have inspired me a lot in many ways.I would even say i am A MANIAC in concern to bikes...Both of us shared things in common...Both of us love the power,speed,races,long rides,crazy driving,making the pillion rider cry for his life etc....When ever we meet we would discuss things related to bhp,torque,blah blah..it would exceed to such an extent that friends will leave us alone saying,we are talking crap and unwanted stuffs.Still our interest kept raising high and we continue our talks not bothering what ppl around us say.Maria was so an expert in bikes that i sought his guindance for my purchase.And after he had taken me to a test drive i loved the bike he suggested i.e RTR-160Fi.He accompanied me on the day of delivery and from that day onwards we both joined and we were burning our rubbers on the roads of chennai..Long rides,races,wheelies,drifting,leaning,making a 360 well we both had our hands on all this.Due to my engineering i won't be in a position to accompany him all time,so he had to go for races in the race track get hand on experience with powerfull bikes etc..He is a crazy rider that i always admire and the way he rides his bike portrays him as a PRO!!.

Maria along with his 4 friends were on the shores of MAHABALIPURAM.He had joined SUTHERLANDS few days back as the technical support staff and he was excited about his job.With 2 of his office colleagues and 2 of his college mates they were enjoying at the shores.
12:45PM
Having fun at the shores they wanted this meet-up to be remembered forever.Snap shots of the locations as backdrop and their faces in front,gleeing, with all possible tooth shown they started posing.Maria who also likes photography started clicking..Making this photo session more lively and giving his clicks the best he tried new angles and perspective...New places and adventures have always been a sweet pie for him.Not leaving it behind,in this occassion too he spoted a rock on the shores with tides kissing it quite often.Balancing himself on a small rock(say 3 steps of height) he was clicking on his camera.That was his last click forever!.Next second his legs unable to balance his weight gave up its resistability and he  slipped in to the tides.Left with no one nearby he was in the water along with the tides.The tides i think was on a rampage...Gulping my friend with its mouth,it took him away..His friends who were there on spot tried to save him and searched him... but their efforts were in vain.Having taken my friend for its meal,finally showing some concern on the grief and pain of his parents the tides brought him ashore the next day morning...
11-07-2010
8:30PM
All that the tide gave them back was a body that was half decayed and his face part messed up by the fishes...My friend MARIA has passed away and i am standing right in front of his body,his cells getting decayed more and more as every second proceeds ahead.I could not withstand his parents crying...His dad is a heart patient and his mom is also weak.Everyone his friends,well wishers,all have assembled and they were expressing their condolences.His dad was shocked and taken aback and i could here him talking to one of his relatives "MY SON IS NO MORE I CANT SEE HIM ANYMORE...THE WORST PART IS I AM NOT ABLE TO SEE MY SON'S FACE EVEN FOR THE LAST TIME".It really hurts when a dad says that and all i could do there was,talk to my friend asking him to wake up from his sleep,tell his dad that he is fine and join me for a short ride....
10:30PM
Death-May come anytime in our life.But why in the form of accidents??.Is spending time on the shores with friends wrong?taking snaps wrong?enjoying new places wrong?having adventures wrong?his friends who were helpless to save him wrong??his parents left alone are they wrong?who is wrong??...Everyone of us have gone to places like this and have visited places with or without parents knowledge and have freaked out...It is all part of our life but an end to life like this is really undigestable..Can anyone find a solution to it?To say it in simple words we can use the term "FATE".I really dont understand this logic.My friend is just 21 and his life had just begun to blossom.. LLbefore the shoot could bloom with a flower he withered away!!..LLL
Wondering what to say i am conveying my heartful condolence to my good friend for his soul to rest in peace!!!.I also pray the creator to give strength to his parents and well wishers to accept this great loss and march ahead in life..

AGENDA OF LIFE

Among all the creations mankind is a class apart with uniqueness and complications.Taking mankind in to consideration,he is said to be the most sensitive being on this planet.The senses of him are so sharp that can be triggered at a faster pace and they are expressed as emotions in man.These emotions are plenty in number and it keeps fluctuating based on the atmosphere,state of mind etc.
The emotions hidden in man shows up when the situations demands it.But it is also possible to trigger them.It can be done by SOUND WAVES.Sound includes music and noise.Both trigger different emotions in man.Everyone of us have got a passion to music.It lies within and helps oneself in emoting.Music brings out all kind of emotions in a man.A pathos can trigger an individual to a feel where one could get himself soaked in for being hurt,or experience loneliness,insecurity etc.A happy song with rock,jazz,fusion brings out joy and happiness.It brings us thoughts of happy moments in life.Every soul on this planet as music embedded within and it flows through the areteries and veins along with blood.
Music helps man to relate to his life,and events that have an impact on him.At the same time MUSIC can change the entire mood of an individual.It can take us to peaks of joy from depression in an instant and at the same time it also helps us to relate to hard feelings and guides in realising the inner truth.Devotional songs relate us to GOD and invokes bhakti and passion.In Tamil nadu we have got music to celebrate death too and we call it THE DEATH PUNCH.Music travels with man throughout and as been a guide,master,friend,philosopher to all of us.There is no hinderance for music in its form,language....All it does is,makes an individual comfortable to experience whatever emotion he is willing to..There is no soul having an aversion to music in this world.Its a divinity that as been in the genes of man ever since life on this planet evolved.Evolution keeps evolving everyday in various forms..Same way music also evolves and is eternal.Like air music is everywhere and we can find its presence within each one of us.Nature has got its own music,the ripples of water,the rain,the rushing flow of water in waterfalls,birds,animals everywhere there is music.The perception of music and liking varies but music satifies all of them.
Like the sun shining brightly everyday Music shines everywhere and takes us to a elevated state of consiousness and realism.Lets all show our gratitude to the everlasting and eternal MUSIC by dedicating a song of our own taste and likes.(begin ur dedication)
Keep listening and enjoy MUSIC!!!

"COMPANIONS OF MAN"

What a goal!!!Amazing,extraordinary,fabulous,superb!!!... ppl were jumping out of their seats as goals kept pouring to 4-0.The match of GERMANY and ARGENTINA was remarkable and will stay in memories for all of us.As i was watching this match in my sony tv with volume so high and with a feel that i am also one with the germans i was cheering and  jumping in ecstasy..My dog was also excited seeing me jump and it accompanied my joy by barking and jumping from its place..Adding spiciness to the game i was crunching a packet of lays.Not to leave my dog behind,i shared my lays with her(SINDHU).We both enjoyed the whole game hugging each other,celebrating our joy with kisses and finally we exchanged good night,sweet dreams,a hug and i was on my bed and she was flat on the floor..
I was just thinking of the whole match a review was going on my mind..and later my thoughts changed to something really interesting!!.I love my dog and my entire family loves it.Me and my family we share our food with her(though am strict in it) and she(SINDHU)also eats whatever we eat.She loves PAPAD and the minute she hears the sound of PAPAD being crunched in our mouth she will be on her hind legs,with her fore legs bent,her tounge out waiting for us to share our PAPAD.If it takes time she will lose her patience and will start barking till she gets it..So cute is my dog...Many of us would have experienced this scenario in different ways through different pets...Pets have been and are the BEST COMPANIONS of man.We share our feelings both positive and negative ones to our pets.Like brothers and sisters they stay with us through out and listen to whatever crap we say.Finally when we finish they show their love by licking,barking,etc..If its a parrot it can even reciprocate by talking!!.Being our best companions all they expect from us is LOVE.
Love though it is being given to the pets the enjoyment and freedom they gain from us is very very less.If we are bored we go hangout with friends,watch movies,dine in restaurants,and the list piles up.But our pets remain in our houses most of them and they are with crazy ppl like us.Pets do want their recreation time and ppl satisfying it to the fullest is limited.We never full fill the needs of our pet completely.How about a RESTAURANT FOR PETS?.A restaurant where pets have their space to play,romance,dine and the highlight of the whole concept is FOOD.A place where pets are served with their favourite dishes and its exclusively for pets.Controlling the pets from fights,quarrel,disputes among their species must be taken care of their owners.This restaurant satisfies all needs of the pets alone and not for the masters.Special discounts on every meal and offers every weekend for games are the special features of this restaurant...Regular customers are given gift coupons and vouchers.This offer is for the masters(to keep the spirits alive) will initiate them to bring their pets to this restaurant..The restaurant on a whole satisfies both the masters as well as their pets..Prior reservation and booking is necessary so dates are alloted to them.This ensures a complete package full filling the taste of the pets(promising new flavours everyday)...If there is one such place how lively and lovely will that place be???..I personally believe it would be the best place on this planet that our pets would like to visit.Imagining such a beautiful concept and calculating the possibility of making it happen in reality,i fell asleep.The concept of bringing out such a place would really be valuable to both pets as well as their masters...Hope our govt takes an initiative in bringing up such RESTAURANTS.Keeping my fingers crossed i hope my dream comes true!!!.

Billing in India

It had been two days since my Tvs Apache rear tyre got flat and i was like let me do it later, cos i have my sister's scooty to move on. But today to my astonishment my sister took her bike to office and i was left with my flat tyre apache..

Fine, let me try to fix it up was my thought, but then i remembered, last time when my rear tyre got flat, the person asked me to change the tyre because the inner thread of the tyre has worn out and it is damaging the tube. Hence i decided to change the tyre.

I started my bike which was quite heavy because there was no air in the rear tyre  but managed to reach a nerby puncture shop, filled up the air though it wouldn’t last for more than 5 mins and also damamge the tube inside. I didnt care about it, cos i am going to change both the tyre and the tube.

Reached the place, this shop is just 5 months old and i saw good number of people. I was just wondering how come he was able to pull in so many customers within a time frame of 5 months who were mostly drivers.

Dressed in a white Derby shirt and Lacoste beige trouser i was offered a place to sit in the owner's ac cabin. I was looking through the glass how they fixed the rim and the tyre through the machine which happend in a jify...

Well, i was sittin there alone until the owner came in and introduced himself to me, for which i said i am Ragav, and i am waiting for my bike to be delivered. He immediately called out a guy's name and said "Sir oda bike enache" there came no reply, the owner comforted me saying sir give me 5 mins it will be done.

There walked in a  carrying a huge purse, he started the conversation wit the owner "Sir, wht is the cost i need to pay", the owner said its Rs2950 and asked the driver how much should i put in the bill?? and I could feel my jaw down, cos of the offer made by the owner to the driver, the driver scratched his head and said "make a bill wherein i will get a profit of rs.200” the owner immediately changed the bill to rs.3150" the driver was so happy, he immediately paid Rs.2950 and left the place with a huge smile, and i was still waiting but wit anger and disappointment now.

Then came my bike with the new tyre and tube, i asked how much should i pay and he said its Rs.2100. Thankfully i was not a driver to cheat my boss, thankfully i was not offered any adjustments like this.(No wonder why the driver's purse was huge- full of cash- cheated from the owner)

Why does it happen like this in India, i am not blaming this shop alone, there are more and more shops, department stores which offer such a cheap deal.

Its true Govt gives an advertisement asking the public to ask for bill but not a fake bill. Guess there would be another advertisement from the Govt to ask for proper bills :P but who is ready to give and who is ready to accept it.??????

WE need to answer this question how truthfull we are???? Not just to the government but to ourselves also…

Life

"LIFE"- What is life?.What do we gain when we die?.What is the reason to live?.So many questions being put up and we have got a variety of answers.Scholars across the world have a common answer to the questions raised above.All they say is"LIFE IS A JOURNEY TOWARDS DISCOVERING GOD".Now who is GOD?is the next question.We have got answers in plenty defining god to be OMNIPOTENT,OMNIPRESENCE,OMNIBENEVOLENCE,DIVINE and the list goes on.....Well each one can have their own definitions and there are ppl who dont believe in god.So it is upon an individual to say that GOD is so and so or maybe this way... to confine there is no GOD.Now this is like asking can i see AIR?Can i touch it?Is there AIR around?.The answer is there IS AIR and there IS NO AIR.We say there is air when we feel it.We feel the air when we breathe or when there is a breeze.Likewise we can say there is GOD when we feel the presence.We say there is no AIR,when we dont feel the breeze or when we are out of our breadth..Believing or not is an individual's call..
Now if we look in to our life,we follow three principles:
1.Belief
2.Faith
3.Discovery
The above principles are common to all,whether the choice for GOD is yes or no.
Belief-We belive in our friends,relatives,etc.Likewise we believe that "THERE IS GOD" or "THERE IS NO GOD".We believe our friend to be either "GOOD" or "BAD"...We have IDOLS of god being portrayed in various forms..These forms are like distinguishing our friends,each one being unique by nature...Remember!! all we do here is"BELIEVE".
Faith-We have faith on our friends that he/she is loyal,friendly,supportive etc.In the same manner we have faith on GOD too that HE will save,protect,bless us etc.
What's the difference between belief and faith?
Once lord Shiva and Lordess Parvathi was watching the earth and the ppl on earth.They wanted to test the ppl living on earth.They appeared as old grandpa and grandma and visited the HOLY GANGES.Their motive was to check the ppl's insight of realisation.After few weeks the grandpa passed away and the old lady was helpless and was left all alone.She had no strength to dispose her husband's body too.Seeing her struggle for days and unable to bear the foul smell,ppl who had their bath on the GANGES were ready to offer help.They approached the old lady to help her out.Appreciating the generosity the old lady putforth a condition to ppl who had come forward to help.The condition was "PPL WHO HAVE NOT COMMITTED SIN ALONE CAN TOUCH MY HUSBAND'S BODY" others who touch him will be turned to ashes!!.Hearing to this ppl backed out saying they will call for some help and all that..Excuses kept pouring to the old lady.Poor lady she was with the decayed body all the while..Days passed and finally one day one person came forward to help her.He was a butcher and he heard the old lady's condition.Hearing it the butcher left the place.The old lady thought he is also like the other ppl and was looking at the decayed body.After a while he returned completely drentched and he was ready to lift the body.The old lady asked are you sure u have not commited any sin?The butcher replied "JI I HAVE COMMITTED A LOT OF SIN,INFACT MY JOB ITSELF IS A SIN BUT I HAVE THE FAITH THAT IF I TAKE A DIP IN THE HOLY GANGES I WILL BE OUT OF MY SINS"...Saying this he lifted the body.Next moment both the lord and the lordess gave DARSHAN to him and blessed him.
What we realise from here is all the other ppl BELIEVED the GANGES to be HOLY but the butcher had THE FAITH that its HOLY.
Discovery-Once we have the faith we tend to discover many things...The discovery continues and is eternal without limits...which everyone must "EXPERIENCE"to complete the purpose of life.
Now each one of us let's question ourselves..Are we in BELIEF,FAITH or in the path of DISCOVERY???...

"THE RAAVANAN SERIES"

Veera!!Veera!!Veera!!..."Veeraiyah"-VIKRAM has donned the role with ease and has been appreciated for his work in RAAVANAN.We all are aware of this and its been a week with the talks of Raavanan all over.Thanking the entire CREW for their effort in making a good movie,lets have an outlook of RAAVANAN in IDI9.
WHY RAAVANAN?
A common question in the minds of ppl,who are aware of IDI9's RAAVANAN.IDI9 is a CREW of members sailing in an ocean.What is special about IDI9?-A step smarter than IDI8.Now proving it externally is a big task and the thrive to success is still on the drive.Raavanan is a crew with big casting and IDI9 opted it simply because it was a movie casting "CHIYAN VIKRAM".IDI9 is a big fan of vikram and his performance in RAAVANAN pulled the talents out of IDI9 crew.
"For a motion to occur there has to be a force".One such force was VIKRAM driving the crew of IDI9. With limited resources available IDI9 have strived with maximum potential to bring out the best.Doing justice to the work as much as possible,RAAVANAN has shaped out quite well.Representing IDI9 here is RAGAV and VETRI SELVAN.As we see the pics RAAVANAN is RAGAV and taking it to the next level of reality is VETRISELVAN the PHOTOGRAPHER.A special credit goes to VETRISELVAN for his commitment to IDI9 and also to his profession.Commenting on RAGAV,well "we have got your comments to do the talk!!". Every individual will be delighted if we are on the BIG SCREEN.This is a common desire that anyone will have within oneself.The amount of happiness we get is tremendous if we make it to the BIG SCREEN.Because today THE EMPIRE OF THE WORLD IS MEDIA.We all believe it and relish it in many aspects.A part of media is FILMS.How about MANI SIR asking anyone of us to do a role in his upcoming movie???.Yes will be our answer with no second thoughts!!,everyone one of us likes films.With no difference in it RAGAV and VETRI have made a mark to the world as IDI9's and have expressed their liking to films.In particular they have exposed their liking to RAAVANAN.
Each one of us will have a special liking to a personality based on his performance which includes dance,acting,humour,style etc.As far as IDI9 it was VIKRAM.Not only for RAAVANAN but for his career in acting,as well as a person.That's when we call an individual as a personality!!.IDI9 hereby have taken this initiative as an oppurtunity in promoting the movie for "CHIYAN VIKRAM" and also to extinguish the hidden talents!!.Craving as a child and willing to prove the world that IDI9 is unique and special... this is the third week of this CHILD WALKING with hopes and dreams yet to accomplish.
"WE THANK ALL THE WELL WISHERS FOR YOUR SUPPORT AND ENCOURAGEMENT,KEEP SUPPORTING AND KEEP THE SPIRITS OF IDI9 ALIVE!!".
THANKING YOU ONCE AGAIN,
IDI9.
