My name is E-mail

-
Hello all,

My name is E-mail. I have become popular among people - young and old - since the past decade. It is interesting to note that a lot of people have so much to talk to their people and I am very happy to carry their messages.

However there are a few problems that no one seems to be lending their ears and eyes to.

  • Wonder why some people try to write unsolicited e-mails to others in the name of making friends?
  • Wonder why some e-mails go unnoticed?
  • Wonder why some e-mails are fully read and taken for granted?
  • Wonder why people trash the well-intended e-mails mistakenly addressed to them, when they should be notifying the sender?
  • Wonder why it is so hard to address some one by name or title or whatever is appropriate in an e-mail?
  • Wonder why people cant take two seconds longer to sign their name or initial at the close of an e-mail?
  • Wonder why people do not understand that chain e-mails in the name of religion or luck are still a set of bits - zeroes and ones so to speak?
  • Wonder why people tend to misjudge the power of associations that e-mails can make or break?
  • Wonder why people forget ettiquettes when writing an e-mail?
  • Wonder why people dont write e-mails themselves and are happy to see one addressed to them?
  • Wonder why people live a life around e-mails and still act like they don't have time for one?

Wonder if people really care?

I, the e-mail medium, am very tired of wondering about the people entities and their behavioral patterns on emails.. What is it that people want in/from life?

Why is it so tough to understand this basic truth ? : Use e-mail with some respect and courtesy for time, emotions, energy and effort of the sender or recipient. I am a medium that has been discovered to improve the speed of message transfer between places across the globe. Don't you think I deserve to be treated with some care and concern for everyone's time and effort? I think so.

With fervent hopes that this message will reach at least a few people, I sign off.

Thanks and Regards,
E-mail.

How are you placed today?

A very common question I got asked over the last one month's time by many of my friends. The answer has to be simple: I have a, b, c things to do or 1, 2, 3 places to go to or i, ii, iii work to complete... and the like.. This is on the basic level and probably this question doesn't need too much thought or attention beyond this.. But, I did find this question quite disturbing. One evening, on my way back from a temple, I realized the answer to this question: Where ever we are at any given point in time, we are placed at the right position to serve the right purpose at the right time!!. Just that we do not realize it. There is no reason to fret about things ( I admit that I have not yet reached that level of maturity as I write this post but I definitely realize ) when they are not in your hands. Exam results for instance. You can only put your best until the paper leaves your hands. Now, if the evaluation will happen properly is something you have no control over. Sim...

Sargam - A 1992 Movie Review

-
This is a malayalam movie directed by Hariharan. Probably everyone in Kerala would have watched this many times. I got a chance to watch this movie yesterday. Brilliant make - a nice mix of psychology and music. I could identify, Vineeth, Renuka, Thilagan, and Nedumudi Venu in the movie. I wouldnt know the rest of the stars but I must say the movie has been done very well and is set in the late seventies or so it seems. Or may be the nineties itself. I would not know such a set up because I grew up in Tamil Nadu. The whole movie has been shot in a bungalow of old times. They call it Kovilagam which seems to mean Temple. I assume that the ancestors of this family had once been very rich and provided for the families working for them and lived a kingly life with great taste towards traditional arts. The family in the movie seems to be richer as well and did have regards for arts, especially music. Kuttan Thamburan had epilepsy and his close pal, Hari was around right from childhood to ta...

Make a difference......

Andhra mess..... Once quiet, but now a noisy little food joint close to my office caters to the IT folks who crowd in during Noon for lunch. We are a group of friends who frequent this place once or twice a month for sure. We all have different preferences in meal usually. One friend of mine loves peanut powder, another does not have curd, I don't usually take rice, instead ask for extra Rotis, another friend likes to have sugar soon after the usually spicy meal. Usually we place orders for "All Veg meals" and when the waiter comes over to serve, we give out our preferences. I never knew that he knew our tastes by heart... He ensured that sugar was kept on the table, extra rotis were brought in, and peanut powder took a place in our table. We are all still amazed about the memory power that this person who serves close to hundred people a day has and how much of an impact it has on us, his valuable customers. Later when we were talking about it, we realized that a lot of ...
