Yes dear Raji,
You are absolutely correct!
Indeed I have missed the gist of the news. :tsk:
The reasons for this are several!
1. I have never seen our Bala Anna.
2. I am very weak in geography!
3. I failed to see the Ambathur connection!
4. I did not guess he would so modest and post something
(without stating that it is all about him and his achievement!)
5. Anyone else would have proclaimed this kind of news to the whole world! :horn:
Anyway thanks for bringing this to the notice of me and other like me - who may not understand the significance of this post!

Congratulations to Shri Balasubramanian sir (of Ambattur) for his accomplishments and recognition of his achievements.
The article I read ( Attention Students: Put Your Laptops Away ) stresses the importance of taking notes by hand.
http://www.npr.org/2016/04/17/474525392/attention-students-put-your-laptops-away
First two paragraphs of that article:
"As laptops become smaller and more ubiquitous, and with the advent of tablets, the idea of taking notes by hand just seems old-fashioned to many students today. Typing your notes is faster — which comes in handy when there's a lot of information to take down. But it turns out there are still advantages to doing things the old-fashioned way."
"For one thing, research shows that laptops and tablets have a tendency to be distracting — it's so easy to click over to Facebook in that dull lecture. And a study has shown that the fact that you have to be slower when you take notes by hand is what makes it more useful in the long run."

Old is Gold ... have no doubts!
Typing has become so widespread that at this rate in a distant future
people may be unable even to sign their own names with a ball pen!

I prefer writing still to a great extent becos when we write down we remember better.
That is why when I study I rewrite all my notes and my text books too.
When I was young my room wall used to be full of my writing.My father used to have to paint my wall over and over again!LOL
I write what I studied to reinforce my memory.
Even now when I read any text..I make notes and re write some important facts.
Typing on a lap top does not reinforce memory.
I have noted that over usage of laptop/smart phone etc leads to irresponsibility and memory of people are not as good anymore cos they feel they can always Google search it and no need to remember.

Dear Renu,
You are absolutely correct. Writing down helps to store the info in our memory rather than IN A PC OR A LAPTOP.
When all our personal info is stored somewhere which a clever person can manage to enter,
he will know more about us than we ourselves will remember. Which is not very safe.
It is equivalent to leaving the front door of the house open and going out on a long vacation!

Some of my friends claim that they DO NOT know their own cell phone number! :shocked:
In the past all learning was by listening and memorizing what was heard.
Since manuscripts were on palm leaves and producing many copies would be difficult
the guru must have had a bunch of the palm leaves while the disciples has nothing
but their clean clear mind and 100% concentration to gain knowledge!
I hope the day will not come when people would forget their own names!

"Never ask the salary of a man and the age of a woman!"
is a very sound and wise advice... have no doubts!
The old time actresses turned up to witness the fund raiser star Cricket match.
( I am NOT using the word OLD actresses even though it is more appropriate!)
Most people were beyond recognition thanks to the ravage caused by age.
They were hiding behind goggles of the size of a Dosai making pan.
Some had bright pink bindi ( of the size of a rupee coin)
I know Bindu is supposed to be a dot! So it was only a bindi and not a bindu!
Their full lips were drawn in bright purple color.
The hair was let loose all around the face like the rays of the Sun!
What more does one need to disguise. :spy:
Oho! I am forgetting the main point.
The announcer kept repeating "Pazham Perum nadiagaigaL.....":blah:
One such star kept cursing in an undertone
"chumma pazham perumnu sollikitte irukkaan." :mad2:
Now tell me honestly which woman would like to identified with both these adjectives
'Pazhasu' (old in age and old in circulation) and 'perusu' ( a dig at their current size!!!) :tsk:

They involve the dates of birth and years of birth of all the four of us in our family and a portion of the landline number!

Recap #5.
ஊணும், உறக்கமும்.
ஊணும், உறக்கமும் தேவை
உயிர் வாழ்ந்திட உலகினில்!
எவ்வளவு தேவை என்பதும்
எவ்வளவு கிடைக்கும் என்பதும்
ஒன்றைச் சார்ந்துள்ளன - அந்த
ஒன்று தான் நமது யோகம்.
உணவு இருக்கும்... ஆனால்
உட்கார்ந்து உண்ண முடியாது.
ஒரு காரணம் நேரம் இன்மை!
மறு காரணம் உடல் நிலைமை!!
உறக்கம் வரும் பேரலை போல!
உறங்க முடியாது நிம்மதியாக!!
மணி ஒலி எழுப்பும் காலையில்!
மனிதர்கள் எழுப்புவர் மாலையில்...
என்றாவது ஒருநாள் அறியாமல்
கண்ணயர்ந்து விட்டோம் என்றால்!
உடல் நலம், மனநலம் மட்டுமன்றி
உண்மையில் அனைத்தும் யோகமே!

Sympathy wave can work wonders during the election.
The experiences in the past have proved this beyond any doubts.
But for the first time I watched self-induced-sympathy-waves and tear shedding! :Cry:
He spoke so well that it created a tidal wave of sympathy that the audience broke down into tears
shedding the tears caused by the tidal wave. :tsk:

After my husband underwent prostrate removal surgery, he needed some medicines urgently.
We requested a friend to get those medicines after giving him the prescription and money.
He told us to put away the list and money promising to get the medicines when he goes 'that side!'
"That side" is the junction connecting our road to the main road - may be half a mile long!
We had no idea of when he will be going 'that side' and so got the medicines through another friend.
I am glad he did not use the same logic to put off a mutual friend who suddenly suffered stroke and
needed to go to a hospital immediately. If he had told him
"Anthap pakkam porapOthu kootti koNdu pogiren! what would have happened
to the mutual friend who needed emergency treatment?
Delay by every single minute counts while getting help for stroke patient...right???

Leader of Every single political party takes pride in announcing that he would write off all the loans taken by the farmers and the students!
So one man asked, "Are those who paid back the loans fools?
Will they get back the money they had paid back to their banks?"
A good question and I bet the answer can never be equally good!
If we sow the idea in the minds of the borrowers that it is OK if they DO NOT repay their loans, do you think any one man will be good enough to repay his loan?
One leader went three steps further by demanding that
1. the family of the farmer who committed suicide must get a compensation of 25 lakhs ( for what service/achievement ???)
2. his loan must be written off.
I am glad he did not insist on giving a government jobs to all the children of the farmer!
Yaaru kaasai, yaar yaarukku, yaar eduthuth daanam seivathu?

So is it the meddling-middle-middle-class that bears the brunt by
grinning and bearing the loans of both these types of people??? :mad2:

My father used to say in a lighter vein that
"Whenever some people visit a house for a vacation
whatever is not firmly fixed to the ground will be missing."
Kleptomaniacs may take then in a clandestine manner.
I remember the paatti in Kamall's Micheal Madana Kaama Raajan! :rofl:
The one who has most influence in the household will dare to grab everything openly!
