Last month, suddenly, one day when I tried to upload a photo I got a warning that I had exhausted all the free space for photos in my blogs, viz., 1 GB. It was quite a shock. I did not know that there was space restriction for photos. The alternative is making monthly payment in dollars, which is out of the question, for I do not have the resources.
Already, due to health and other problems, I am steadily losing interest in everything. Well, this gets added. I could not bring myself to write anything for many days, till now.
OK. Hope Blogger, which is a part of Google, may decide to enhance this free space at some later date, like it did for Gmail attachments - from 25 MB to 10 GB!
Till such time, no more photos or pictures! Sorry, guys!!
We were working together at Karaikudi in the same cadre for several years and became great friends. Then he went to BHEL, Hardwar. After several years there, came back to Ranipet, Tamil Nadu. Unfortunately, over the years our contacts diminished and we rarely meet or talk to each other. Last year or so, suddenly one day he telephoned me and found that I had come to Chennai to visit my daughter and he was also in Chennai to visit his own daughter. So we met and had breakfast together and spent some happy hours. I thought this meeting in person would revive our friendship and we would be close again like the good old days. But that did not happen. However, I still cherish the memory of our days together on many a happy occasion and his help to me on various occasions.
He has two daughters, one is in Germany after graduation from IIT-Madras and the other is pursuing higher studies in Chennai (I have forgotten the institution and the course).
Chandru! I shall always love you. May God bless you and your family!
(This is the only photograph of Chandru I have now; all the others have disappeared. Unfortunately, the photo is not good. However, I have to manage with it).

Mud Road linking the East Bank of River Vaigai with the West Bank. It is just opposite Sri Parvathavarthini-Somanathar Temple. I had walked this several times during our stay at Manamadurai. Especially, for going to the weekly vegetable market. The road used to be good and has since deteriorated for want of maintenance. They put stones across to prevent vehicle from using this road. Now vehicles have to go by the overbridge only
Balu. Our Director's driver. An excellent driver and a friend. He has a helping nature. I shall always cherish his help at the time of my father's death.
May God bless him!
And life is what we make it. Always has been, always will be – Grandma Moses, American Artist
John Alex. Everybody calls him Alex. I call him Jr Alex, because I have another friend with the same name. Towards the end of my career, he joined our section as a contract worker. He became very much attached to me. At this young age, his father, who was working as a driver, suddenly passed away. As the first son of the family he had to bear the family burden. I always have a soft corner for him. Even after my leaving our office, he used to send me SMS regularly.
This photo I took after my retirement, when I was also working on contract.
May God bless him!
Real leaders are ordinary people with extraordinary determination - Unknown
Seek out that particular mental attribute which makes you feel most deeply and vitally alive, along with which comes the inner voice which says, "This is the real me," and when you have found that attitude, follow it -

Cute little girl! My friend, Chandru's daughter.
One SONG can spark a moment
One FLOWER can wake the dream
One TREE can start a forest
One BIRD can herald spring
One SMILE begins a friendship
One HANDCLASP lifts a soul
One STAR can guide a ship at sea
One WORD can frame the goal
One VOTE can change a nation
One SUNBEAM lights a room
One CANDLE wipes out darkness
One LAUGH will conquer gloom
One STEP must start each journey
One WORD must start a prayer
One HOPE will raise our spirits
One TOUCH can show you care
One VOICE can speak with wisdom
One HEART can know what is true
One LIFE can make a difference
