When Dr.N.V.Parthasaradhy was Head of Electroplating Section, I was working under him as a Junior Lab Assistant. However, within a few months he was transferred to our Chennai Unit as its Head. In the short span of our association, he took a strong liking to me and was helping me in many ways at times of need. His kind and affectionate words always have a healing and soothing effect on me. His kindness and affection mean a lot to me.I have a feeling that we must have had close association in our previous births also. Otherwise I am unable to explain his love and affection, even after 39 years! It is a proof that our friendship has withstood the test of time, though he has been in Chennai and myself at Karaikudi. And we rarely write. Only recent we have been talking to each other over phone. Both of us have retired voluntarily - he, long back and myself, during November 2007. During my visit to Chennai during May 2009, I went to his house and paid my respects to him and his betterhalf and received their blessings. I cherish his love and affection, so also the above photographs.
He was an expert scientist in Electroplating and has written a book, published by a reputed international publisher. The book has been very popular with electroplaters. He retired as a Deputy Director.
I trust I have been blessed by the Almighty to have somebody like him as an affectionate well-wisher.I can only pray to the Almighty to bless the NVPs and bestow His grace on them and their family.

A person grows by his thoughts, by his actions, by his objectives. We are, as the Buddhist Dhammapada says, just a collection, a layer of our thoughts. So, if we think in a big way and act in a big way, we tend to become big ourselves, as individuals and as a nation - Jawaharlal Nehru

Rafe Bartholomew of Harper's Weekly reports that U.S. income inequality is at an historic high (Harper's Weekly, August 18, 2009).
I feel sad that inequalities, especially income inequalities, are growing to alarming proportions all over the world and nobody seems to care about it.
No wonder crime rate is increasing dangerously world over and life has become insecure everywhere.
Thanks to Rafe Bartholomew and Harper's Weekly.

I think that there is always a close and intimate relationship between the end we aim at and the means adopted to attain it. Even if the end is right but the means are wrong, it will vitiate the end or divert us in a wrong direction. Means and ends are thus intimately and inextricably connected and cannot be separated. That, indeed, has been the lesson of old taught us by many great men in the past but unfortunately it is seldom remembered. - Jawaharlal Nehru
