Golden Mountain - Golden Fragments

Golden Mountain - Golden Fragments

      Its amazing and unbelievable, to know that there is a a Mountain which sprinkles golden fragments., called as Golden Mountain. This hugger-mugger mountain is situated in a region called Orizona, in South America which stands concealed till today. Hence it remains mystery and it is believed that this is not just a mountain, but amazingly stored gold in its womb from several years and infinite tales are also there based on this Golden Mountain.

      Any person gets excited by this Golden Mountain. But truth is that nobody has returned safely who had gone there and if returned they were not able to come out of the horror, terror and dangerous memories.

Golden Mountain      One Mr. Payaleen Beever and his sub-ordinates , decided to disclose the clandestine of this Golden Mountain and accordingly they landed in tents near the mountain. It was around 4 pm as everybody was tried, just for relaxation they slept. But Mr. Payaleen Beever was not able to sleep. Alone he started to walk towards the mountain, on the way he found few gold fragments, he collected the same and went back near the tent. To his utter dismay he saw the whole tent burning with great flames along with his subordinates, as he turned back he was shocked to see the terrific and frightening shadows coming towards him. Mr. Payaleen Beever was greatly frightened by seeing this and somehow managed to come out alive. But later it was said that he died in this shock.

      Later a doctor Mr. Laberen was so curious to research on this mystery, challengingly he reached the mountain floor. But he also had to face the same astonishing and dangerous shadows which was responsible for his death which shook the entire South America. Because as per the Post Mortem report, entire blood from his body was sucked left behind with not a single drop of blood without a small injury or wound on his body.

Gold Mountain      Further Mr. Valjery, a German Engineer working at Orizone Mines was attracted to this Golden Mountain secret and decided to discover this. With this intention he first gained friendship with the local tribes called “Apache” . Then after he fell in love with one tribal girl Cante and married her to create faith and confidence in those Tribes, as they were too cruel and wild. He started learning about the secrets of this mountain from them and started researching with the help of Cante and his friend Mr. Jacob. At first he felt too scary, fear and very unusual . Meanwhile the tribal people started doubting Cante as she is revealing all the secrets of the Golden Mountain and saw that her tongue was cut which led to her death causing heavy bleeding. In spite of this Mr. Valjery did not give up his challenge .

      As he went further on the mountain he saw a cave. With caution and awe he went inside and saw a large pit in which hot boiling golden magna was erupting out. But he was failed to find out the origin of this golden magna and he also did not proceed. While both coming back, tribal magicians happened to see Mr. Valjery and Mr Jacob. Mr. Valjery escaped, Mr. Jacob was caught and killed by the Tribes.

      Thereafter in 1891 Mr. Valjery also died. All his surprising, awful, amazing, horrific, frightening , fearsome, painful and astonishing experiences was recorded in his dairy. On the basis of this many people went forward to discover his mystery, but none of returned back. If some have come back, they have come with the bare hands only.

      It is very significant that know that how far the man has developed with science and technology, he cannot go against the Nature. So many secrets in the nature remains unrevealed even today. And it is not fair and safe to try to discover for the origin of Nature at the cost of their lives.

First Love and Last Love

First love and Last love

I was sitting on the sand and watching the waves hitting the shore. "It has been 4 long years now" I thought "A lot of things have happened in life ". The waves were bringing back my old memories.

I still remember how I met a girl named Soumya in this place. I usually hit the beach on weekends to forget loneliness after my friends got scattered all over India after college. Since then I could ot find a circle of friends as I had in college. I usually see her sitting alone on the sands and viewing the waves.  There is a saying "Birds of same feather flock together ".I had never accepted this saying until I saw her.
Days went on ....Soon my eyes started to search for her every time I came to the beach. Slowly I felt something change within me. The following weekend I didn't to go to the beach as all my friends had planned for a reunion .Even though I was with my friends I could sense something was not at its place. Does it have to do anything with her?  I questioned myself ... my heart failed to answer my questions!! ..

Next weekend when I went to the beach my eyes didn't search for her. I was just admiring the beautiful waves... Waving its hands for me... Until I heard a voice... "Seems you didn't turn up last weekend "I just turned and noticed that, it was Soumya saying that  ... Those were the first words she spoke to me.

I never knew I was noticed by her all these days.  Words failed to come out of my mouth. "By The Way I am Soumya "were the next few words which brought me back to my senses. "Hi I am Raj!  Glad to meet you! "greeted her with a smile. "Mind If I sit here "she asked me tentatively, action spoke before words did and even before I could say no my head nodded a no with a capital "N" to her. She sat there beside me and we spoke. I experienced Einstein's theory of relativity on that day. Hours flew just like seconds. She said that she was from Kerala and came to Chennai for studies. She told that she would stay with her uncle and aunt till she finished her college and that her house was near the beach...
first last loveTime went on and the more we spent time together, friendship grew more between us. We exchanged numbers. Weekend meetings start to become weekdays night phone chatting. Slowly my feeling towards her started to change, I never felt so attracted to a girl before. She was changing my life which was full of loneliness to a more enjoyable and fun filled one. She was doing her final year of her college in a reputed arts college, so she was free in the evenings most of the time. She started to call me after her college hours and we spoke for hours and hours. It was only in the weekends that we met each other and spoke in person; otherwise it was only over the phone.. One day after speaking to her .I received a call from my mom. She was waiting for me in front of my office and she sounded dull. I just rushed to the entrance and saw my mom in tears.

I asked her "What happened?" her weeping grew more.  I again repeated my question. My mom told that My Dad had a heart attack and was admitted in hospital in Coimbatore. Working as Bank officer transfers are not new to my father. I tried to console her ...and then I came to my manager and informed him about my dad and asked permission to leave from office...Went in a hurry to airport to reach Coimbatore as soon as possible. That weekend I could not attend her phone, since I was in the ICU with my father and so I had to switch off my mobile.

On Sunday my Dad got better and   returning back to Chennai I checked my mobile it had some 50 odd messages from Soumya. The moment I saw it ... I knew she would be very angry on me ...for not turning up this weekend. I called her a few times; there was no answer from her. I just messaged her ... what all happened ... and was waiting for her reply... That day my eyes failed to see dreams... my heart sensed fear of losing a friend, my bed which was of roses since the day I started to speak to Soumya, became thorns to me.

The next weekend fate had different plans for me. I made it to the sands and was sitting there for about an hour, thinking about whether she would turn up or not. After waiting for another 30 odd minutes, I decided to leave ... and started walking towards my bike. I saw her in front of me, I went to her and said "Hi and Sorry Soumya I could not turn up last weekend. Had some problems I guess you can understand"... her silence gave me a signal that she was still angry with me!

She just went past me and sat on the sand.... I had no other option... I followed her foot steps and sat next to her ... "O.K.! Soumya!!!  I know ...you are angry on me!!!  I am sorry for not informing you, I guess you can understand in what situation I was in. "Her answer was silence. " If she doesn't like to speak to you!! Then don't disturb her!!!" my mind gave me orders. "O.K. then I guess I will leave! I don't wanna disturb you!!! "I got up with a heavy heart....

I took my first step and she broke her silence "Please don't go" she didn't sound good.  I went near her and sat with her and saw the waves, I saw her tears running down the cheeks, suddenly a guilty feeling started to creep into my heart. I asked her "Soumya!!! What happened? Why are crying?? ". "Did I say something wrong?" I questioned myself.

She wiped her tears and said "No you didn't say anything wrong ". "I could not be without talking to you!!! Raj!!! "

"You have become so close to me!!! That I feel you are a part of me!!! ".The moment she finished a question arised in my mind "Is she in love with me?".  I saw those eyes of her and could not come to a conclusion. "Are you in love with me? Soumya" I put forth my question to her. She gave me a glance and said "I don't know Raj, but I have never missed any one like I have missed you in my life!!! ". Words failed to come out from both of us. We returned home questioning ourselves "Are we in love?".

The night was long and my eyes failed to dream. Suddenly saw my mobile ringing .... It was her ...

"Hey Hi!!! Tell me!! ?"

There was silence "hello!!! Soumya!!! Are u there?"

"Sorry to disturb you!!! Thought you would be sleeping!"

"That's fine!! Had some work. I just went to bed! Any problem!?"

"No... not at all... just thought of speaking to you!"

"Oh OK".

"Raj!!!!!  Can I ask you a question? "

"Go on"

"What would be your decision if I say I am in love with you?"

I was caught on the thoughts... "Does she really mean it? I know I am not that attractive but she is!!!"

"Raj!!! You there!!! ?"

"Yeah!! Yeah!!  I am here!! "

"Did I ask anything wrong?"

"Nope"

I came to my senses and told her my decision... That I would have her as my better half. The next moment, I only heard sounds of tears; I felt her happiness in that cry, I felt her love on that day.

The days that followed were pleasant and the most unforgettable days in my life ...everything around me looked beautiful... I was experiencing the phrase "When love is in your heart, everything around you will appear beautiful than ever". We shared happiness, sorrows, and had little fights which made the bonding between us stronger. The life clock's pendulum doesn't always be in the happier side.Things started to change when she finished her college, her aunt and uncle found about our relationship and news automatically reached her mom.

One day she messaged me that she have received a telegram that her Mom is ill and that, she would be leaving to Kerala in some 15 minutes by flight and she will be back by a week. I called her up and spoke to her for 15 minutes. Those were the last 15 minutes we spoke. I never knew fate had a horrible twist in store for me. The next day I tried to call her up and I could not reach her. Something was bothering me the whole day, I tried to call her again in the night, and still I couldn't reach her.

The next day, my mobile glowed with her number, bringing delight in my face, I picked up the phone and I can only hear her cry ....

"Hello!!! Soumya!!! Is that you? What happened? Anything wrong? Why are you crying? How is your Mom?" I asked with my heart beating in my mouth.

She did not answer anything "Come on!! Speak to me Soumya!! What the hell happened?"

She said" Raj!!! "And then I could hear only her cry ... Her mom got the phone from her and just said "Don't ever call her again!! She got married Raj!!!" ...and she cut the call... I felt the world around me shatter, my heart became heavy. At that moment I wished the ground beneath me to devour me. There was nothing I could do, all things were over... Tears were starting to flow from my eyes.

I walked in the sands with the memories of Soumya; I sat and started to view the waves... for the first time in my life after meeting Soumya everything around me looked gloomy... I felt the waves were calling me towards them... My legs started to walk towards the waves...

A heard someone calling "Raj!! Raj!! Come here!! ".My eyes started to search who was the person? " Come here!!! Don't play with the sand "It was some kid Raj's Mom. But I thought I saw a bit of my Mom in her. I took a decision. I prepared myself to face the facts of my life. I called my Mom and said what had happened. She consoled me.  I said about my decision... At first she never accepted to my decision... I
switched off the phone... and I walked towards my bike...

"Paapa!! See what I have made for you!!! "which brought me back to the present ....

"Yeah!! Dear!! " ...

"A sand castle for you Pappa!!"

"Oh that's lovely dear" I said with a smile, looking at my child.

"Come here!! Soumya!! Let us stand here..."

She came running towards me ... I lifted her ... and kissed her on the forehead... Soumya, my adopted child. I have started to live my life for her for past 3 yrs.

I took her hand, and made the waves touch her feet. She was smiling at me.

"Come on Dear!!! Let's go home!! Grandma will be waiting for us".

I held her hand and we started to walk over the sands...

I turned back to watch my footsteps... and felt

"My first love was Soumya, My last love will be Soumya too "

I walked towards my bike holding my last love's hand.

Meaning of HIBERNATION

      Hibernation is a time/period  when animals sleep through out cold weather.  This is a state of inactivity and metabolic depression in animals leading to lowering body temperature, slower breathing and lower metabolic rate.  This sleep is not like human sleep where any disturbances can wake up. With true hibernations the animals appear to be dead, animal can be moved around or touched.  There is no movement and it take a long time for it to wake up enough to even walk around. Hibernation may last for seven days or weeks or months depending on species, temperature, time and fur on the animals body. Animals that hibernate includes bear, bats, ground squirrels, rodents, Hedgehog, Marsupials, Rattlesnakes, etc.,   Bear is considered as famous  Hibernator.
      Hibernation is the way of adaptation of some animals to the climate and land around them.  Some animals in the nature has been created in such a way that they must be able to live through extreme cold  or die.  These animals which are unable to stand the extreme cold Hibernate or undergo deep sleep.   When an animal beings to hibernate, its body temperature drops to match the external temperature.  The animals’ heartbeat  and breathing also slow down  which minimize the energy requirement.  Some of these hibernators also store food in their caves and burrows. 

      Hibernating animals get their energy by a process known as  Glucogenesis.   During the fall, hibernating animals eat more foods than usual.  Their bodies will give off their body fat  during hibernation  through out  winter.  The hibernating animal will use up the stored fat in the body.  This causes the animal to appear thinner but still strong when it come out of hibernation. Before going  Hibernations  the animals get safe spots ready like  their winter nests, dens and burrows and  different kinds of animals hibernate in different kinds of safe spots.  During Hibernation as  their body  becomes  too weak  and it becomes easier for their  enemies to attack them, to avoid their enemies hibernating animals pick  safest place to spend their winter. 
what is hibernation

      There are many research projects investigating to achieve  “induced hibernation “ in humans, which would be useful for a number of reasons, such as saving the lives of seriously ill or injured people by temporarily putting them in a state of hibernation until treatment can be given.  NASA is also experimenting on putting astronauts in hibernation for very long space journeys.

Tirupur Garment Industry

Tirupur Garment Industry

      Tirupur is known as Manchester of South India, for its massive production of garments. It is located in the banks of Noyal River. Tirupur has a huge pool of workers working in garment factories. Tirupur stands number two in India for exporting children garments. Tirupur has large number of companies manufacturing garments. There are a lot of processes involved in manufacturing a garment, which includes, knitting, combating, dying, pressing etc. These manufacturing companies receive orders from west and Middle East countries for manufacturing garments. Tirupur is the fastest growing city in the Tamil Nadu. Tirupur has wide range of companies exporting garments (Men, women, children etc) to the foreign world. The factories in Tirupur employ workers on daily basis and these workers receive their salary on daily or weekly basis. Around ninety percent of the women in Tirupur are employed in the garment factories.

      Tirupur provides jobs to more than five lakh workers per day. There is large volume of foreign money pouring into India due to the manufacturing in Tirupur factories. Still, Tirupur has a sad side too, the environment has been misused and the water bodies are damaged. The underground water in many areas has become unfit to drink. The whole credit of spoiling the water bodies goes to the dying units in the factories. These dying factories let out the untreated water in the ground. Now government has taken strict measures to control the water pollution. The Noyal River is found to be contaminated with the dying waste from the factories. The business giants in Tirupur have seen only the monetary benefits in this place. Many NGO has warned that this pollution would lead to serious health hazards in the people living in Tirupur and in the adjacent areas. Let’s hope that this garment city also becomes a great city to live in future.

Performance Appraisal

      Performance appraisal is a vital area in the human resource management. Every employee in the organization wants to be appraised for the work he has contributed. Performance appraisal is defined as a means of evaluating the quality of the work done by an employee. It is the means by which, the required performance (fixed) is measured against the actual performance of an employee. The gap between the required and actual performance is analyzed. The strength and weakness of the employee is also analyzed in the performance appraisal.


      After analyzing the gap - the area where the employee needs to improve, the organization arranges for the required training. Performance appraisal is mainly done to evaluate the performance of an employee, to identify the training needs of an employee and to increase the monetary benefits for the employee. A positive performance appraisal results in increase in compensation, benefits, bonus, incentives, promotions etc, where as a negative performance appraisal leads to training, counseling, coaching etc. During performance appraisal, the past performance is taken into account and various ideas are generated to improve his capabilities in the future.  Performance appraisal is always seen with an optimistic approach since most of the employees get benefited out of it. In MNC organizations an employee gets a chance to interact with his manager every month to discuss about his work profile, improvements, drawback etc.

      There are many methods used to evaluate the performance of an employee. The widely used practice is the self appraisal form, 360 degree appraisal, appraisal from the managers etc. Generally an employee is asked to fill the self appraisal form to find out where he rates himself, later his or her manager reviews it and analyses the gap and discusses on the improvements. There are also arguments against performance appraisal since some employees feel that the feedback given by the managers are biased. But when compared, performance appraisal offers more good to an employee sans its negative effect.
